CITY OF OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT March 19, 2024 Motion to approve submitting a letter of recommendation to the Johnson County Board of Adjustment for a Conditional Use Permit application for a temporary concrete and asphalt recycling use on land zoned County Agriculture (A) in unincorporated Johnson County outside the City's growth area. Attachments: CREZ24-0002 PZ Memo with Attachments PZ 2.21.24 minutes Letter to County r i -4 4 CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM Date: February 21, 2024 To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Anne Russett, Senior Planner, Neighborhood & Development Services Re: CREZ24-0002 Conditional Use Permit for Temporary Asphalt & Concrete Recycling Background Information Tyler Rogers has submitted a conditional use permit application to the Johnson County Board of Adjustment for temporary operation of asphalt and concrete recycling facilities near the intersection of IVW Rd SW and Kansas Ave SW. Specifically the proposed site is located in the northeast corner of parcel number 1115176001, in unincorporated Johnson County. The subject property is located within in the City/County Fringe Area. The Johnson County Unified Development Code requires that cities be allowed to review conditional use permits within their extraterritorial jurisdiction, which is the area within two miles of a city's corporate limits. It is the role of the Planning and Zoning Commission to make a recommendation on the conditional use permit to the City Council. The City Council will then make a recommendation to the Johnson County Board of Adjustment. Conditional use permits in Johnson County require a 4/5 majority vote of the Board of Adjustment to approve if the use is opposed by a vote of the City Council. The subject property is zoned County Agriculture. Adjacent properties to the immediate north, west, and south are also zoned County Agriculture. There are also three parcels to the north that are zoned County Residential; however, they are vacant. The land to the east is owned by the City of Iowa City for the purposes of the landfill and is zoned County Public. Proposed Land Use: The subject property is currently used for agriculture, specifically row crops. Mr. Rogers also owned the land to the north, which contains a home. According to the application, a portion of the property currently used for agriculture would be used for the temporary operation of asphalt and concrete recycling facilities. The applicant is requesting this use for the one year. The applicant has proposed to have two to four workers on site. Access to the site will be provided by the existing field entrance off of Kansas Avenue SW. Operations will be limited to daylight hours. Asphalt and concrete recycling requires a County conditional use permit and compliance with the supplemental conditions outlined in 8:1.23 (C) of the Johnson County Unified Development Code. C. Asphalt and Concrete Recycling. Permanent asphalt and concrete recycling operations are permitted in the MH district and are subject to conditions 1-3 below. Temporary asphalt and concrete recycling operations are conditionally permitted in the A, C -Ag, and ML districts and are subject to all supplemental conditions below: 1. The applicant shall obtain written approval for the proposed entrance to the public roadway from the appropriate authority, and the primary truck route(s) from Johnson County Secondary Roads. February 16, 2024 Page 2 2. The applicant shall obtain written approval from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources for the discharge of any waste from the proposed facility. 3. The application shall comply with all Environmental Standards in Chapter 8.3. 4. The permit shall be issued for a specific period of time. Permit expiration shall coincide with the estimated completion of the project. Where a temporary asphalt and concrete recycling operation is permitted in conjunction with a temporary ready -mix plant, both operations shall have the same expiration date. Where a temporary asphalt and concrete recycling operation is permitted in conjunction with, and collocated with, a mining and mineral extraction operation, the asphalt and concrete recycling permit shall be issued for a period not to exceed 5 years, or both operations shall have the same expiration date, whichever timeframe is shorter. Permit extension shall only be approved by the Board of Adjustment via permit modification, as outlined in 8:1.28(F)(5). 5. The facility shall be removed and the facility's site shall be restored to its original productive state within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the completion of the identified highway or road project or projects. A facility site restoration plan and performance agreement with financial assurance shall be submitted and approved prior to the beginning of operations. 6. Supplemental conditions 4 and 5 above shall not apply to permanent asphalt and concrete recycling operations located in MH districts. Analysis: When reviewing applications for property located outside Iowa City corporate limits, staff relies on the policies outlined in the Fringe Area Agreement, which was recently updated. The Fringe Area Agreement is a component of the City's Comprehensive Plan and applies to areas not specifically planned for in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Fringe Area Agreement is intended to provide guidance regarding the development of land located within two miles of Iowa City's corporate limits. The agreement's slated purpose is to provide for orderly and efficient development patterns appropriate to non -urbanized areas, protect and preserve the fringe area's natural resources and environmentally sensitive features, direct development to areas with physical characteristics which can accommodate development, and effectively and economically provide services for future growth and development. The subject property is located outside of the City's growth area. According to the Johnson County Future Land Use Map, the subject property is designated agricultural. The proposed use is an allowed use in the County's Agriculture zone, is temporary in nature, and is subject to additional use specific conditions. The County will ensure compliance with the specific conditions. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of CREZ24-0002, an appucation submitted for a County conditional use permit for a temporary asphalt and concrete recycling facility. Attachments: 1.

More specifically, the proposed conditional use would be limited to the northern and eastern corner of Parcel 1115176001. The zoning of these parcels is: A— Agricultural Zoning District with the primary use being Agricultural uses. Section 8:1.6(C)(23) of the Johnson County Unified Development Ordinance identifies the requested temporary use as a permissible conditional use within this district. We also recognize and acknowledge Section 8:1.23(C) as the applicable supplemental conditions for this use and 8:1.28(F) as the governing conditional use general regulations. Pursuant to the above referenced code sections, the conditional use permit is being requested for a duration of 1 -year. The intent of this request is to provide concrete recycling operations using concrete crushing equipment with 2-4 workers at the work site. Access will be provided by the existing field entrance off of Kansas Avenue SW with no additional signage anticipated. Workers will park within the work zone area and limit operations to daylight hours. The natural topography of the requested use area is a gradual undulation to the south. The south perimeter of the site will be appropriately protected with erosional control measures and/or berms. The land is not located on, or adjacent to, any FEMA regulated sensitive areas according to the Johnson County Property Information Viewer. The land is located within the 2021 City of Iowa City's Fringe Area — Outside Growth Area; however, we do not anticipate additional submittal documents to the City of Iowa City due to the temporary nature of this request.

CREZ24-0002 Location: South of IWV Rd SW and West of Kansas Ave SW, Unincorporated Johnson County An application for a County conditional use permit to allow a temporary concrete and asphalt recycling use on land zoned County Agriculture (A) in unincorporated Johnson County outside the City's growth area. Russett began the staff report with the aerial map showing that the property is located west of Kansas Avenue SW and then the zoning map. Russett noted the land is zoned County Agriculture and there's a few parcels of land to the north that are zoned residential and then to the east is land zoned P (Public) for the City of Iowa City's landfill. Russett stated this land is in the City's fringe area but is outside the growth area and not anticipated to be annexed by the City. However, as Parker mentioned the County's Zoning Code requires review by cities within two miles and that's why this is before the Commission tonight. Asphalt and concrete recycling plants are allowed by conditional use permit in the County Agriculture zone. Their proposal is temporary asphalt and concrete recycling and they anticipate the use would last for one year. Access to the site would be from an existing field entrance off of Kansas Avenue SW. Russett noted there are specific use criteria that need to be met for these types of concrete recycling uses and the County will ensure that those are met as part of their review. Staff is recommending approval of CREZ24-0002, an application for a County conditional use permit for a temporary asphalt and concrete recycling use. Hensch asked if conditional use permits have a time limit or do they go forever with the property Russett is unsure how the County handles those permits. Craig is curious that this is temporary because if they are tearing up a road out someplace will they take this stuff to recycle it or is this a common thing that they would do for a year and then go someplace else. Russett noted the applicant could answer those questions. Hensch opened the public hearing. Josh Entler (Concise Earth Construction) is here representing the applicant, the landowner, as the prospective contractor that would be doing the crushing. He stated this is temporary, the timespan they are requesting is one year, which is part of the requirement in the Code for them to go to the Board of Adjustment for the County. They are asking for a one-year windowjust because it takes time to find all their operators to make it work and need to have a 12 month window of when this permit would be valid. He stated it's like $30,000 a month to rent this crusher so they've also agreed to a 60 -to -90 -day operational window of when they will have a pile of material on site that they would like to give a new life and recycle. Hensch noted he has seen these before many times around big road projects and they are typically always done on a temporary basis, the crushing operation is set up and then the next Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 4 of 14 time one drives by it's gone. Entler stated yes usually they have a pile that's somewhat localized, they recycle that material, and then they move on to the next project. Hensch closed the public hearing. Elliott moved to recommend approval of CREZ24-0002, an application for a County conditional use permit for a temporary asphalt and concrete recycling use. Craig seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0. CASE NO. REZ24-0001 Location: 302-316 E. Bloomington St An application initiated by the Historic Preservation Commission for a rezoning of approximately 0.45 acres of land from Central Business Service (CB -2) zone to CB -2 with a Historic District Overlay (OHD/CB-2) zone to designate the property as an Iowa City Historic Landmark. Conley began the staff report showing an aerial map of the property for the proposed rezoning. The property is located north of East Bloomington Street and to the east of North Linn Street. She next shared the zoning map which shows to the west there's the RNS-12 zone, to the east is CB -2 and to the south is CB -2 as well. For some background for the property in question, Conley stated on the date October 9, 2023, the Historic Preservation Commission recommended moving forward with the local landmark designation. Then on October 30, 2023, a letter was sent to the property owner that explained the Historic Preservation Commission's interest in landmarking the property as well as requested a meeting. On December 4, 2023, staff and the Historic Preservation Commission Chair met with the property owner and then on February 8, 2024, the Historic Preservation Commission recommended approval of the local landmark designation. The Historic Preservation Commission found that this property is significant for its role in the ethnic and commercial history of Iowa City's Northside Neighborhood. They found that the building is a well-preserved example of Italianate architecture and found that the property met the following local landmark criteria. (A) it is significant to American and/or Iowa City history, architecture, archaeology and culture. (B) it possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship. (C) it is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of Iowa City history. And lastly, (E) it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a tight period or method of construction or represents the work of a master or possesses high artistic values or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. Currently the property is zoned CB -2 and the purpose of this zone is to serve as a transition between intense land uses in the Central Business Service District and adjoining areas. The proposed zoning is to the OHD/CB-2 zone and the purpose of the OHD zone is to designate local historic landmarks and historic districts. The OHD zone requires exterior building modifications, ones that require regulated permit, to go through the historic review process, and it supports the continued use of historic buildings through regulatory and financial incentives. These incentives include special exception eligibility in which it would allow the Board of March 19, 2024 Johnson County Board of Adjustment Johnson County Admin Building; Planning, Development & Sustainability 913 S.

The Johnson County Unified Development Ordinance requires that cities be allowed to review conditional use permits for properties within 2 miles of the City's corporate limits. At its February 21, 2024 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, staff recommended approval of the conditional use permit subject to compliance with the supplemental conditions required for this use by the Johnson County Unified Development Code. The Commission concurred and the motion to recommend approval passed by a vote of 7-0. On March 19, 2024, the City Council reviewed the conditional use permit application and agreed with the Planning and Zoning Commission. City Council recommends that this conditional use permit be approved. Thank you for your consideration of our comments on this application.

HARVAT HALL, CITY HALL MEMBERS PRESENT: Susan Craig, Maggie Elliott, Mike Hensch, Maria Padron, Scott Quellhorst, Billie Townsend, Chad Wade MEMBERS ABSENT: STAFF PRESENT: Madison Conley, Sarah Hektoen, Anne Russett, Parker Walsh OTHERS PRESENT: Mike Huizenga, Josh Entler, Jordan Sellergren, Ginalie Swaim, Deanna Thomann, Kevin Boyd, Tomas Agran, Bob Wise, Sharon DeGraw, Missy Moreton RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: By a vote of 7-0 the Commission recommends approval of CREZ24-0001 and application for a County conditional use permit to allow a telecommunications tower for property located at 355 street and east of Kansas Avenue in unincorporated Johnson County. By a vote of 7-0 the Commission recommends approval of CREZ24-0002, an application for a County conditional use permit for a temporary asphalt and concrete recycling use. By a vote of 6-1 (Wade dissenting) the Commission recommends approval of REZ24- 0001, an application to rezone 302-316 E. Bloomington Street from Central Business Service (CB -2) zone to CB -2 with a Historic District Overlay OHD/CB-2) zone in order to designate it as a Local Historic Landmark. CALL TO ORDER: Hensch called the meeting to order at 6:00 PM. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA: None. CASE NO. CREZ24-0001 Location: South of 355 St and East of Kansas Ave SW, Unincorporated Johnson County An application for a County conditional use permit to allow a telecommunications tower on land zoned County Agricultural (A) in unincorporated Johnson County. Walsh began the staff report showing a map of the property located south of 355 Street and east of Kansas Avenue SW, in unincorporated Johnson County and then also the zoning map and stated this is a conditional use permit to allow a telecommunications tower on land zoned County Agricultural. Most of the land in the area is currently agricultural with some residential zoned property north of 355 Street. Next Walsh shared the Fringe Area Map and noted this property is outside of the County/City fringe area and is not likely to be annexed into the City but the County's Unified Development Code does have a requirement that all conditional use permits go Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 2 of 14 to any City within two miles of the property and that is why they are going over this application tonight. The proposal will put a 180 feet tall tower on the property and the tower will be fully fenced with barbed wire for security and safety reasons. It will be screened with plantings that are native species that have a minimum mature height of 60 feet and they will be planted arranged between five and six feet. The tower will need to meet the Johnson County Unified Development Code standards and that review will be done by the County. Some of the approval criteria would include a specific height for the security fence and screening. Staff recommends approval of application CREZ24-0001 for a County conditional use permit to allow a telecommunications tower for property located at 355 Street and east of Kansas Avenue in unincorporated Johnson County. Upon recommendation from the Commission this application will go to City Council on March 19. Following City Council's recommendation it will be heard by the Johnson County Board of Adjustment but that meeting has not been set yet. Hensch opened the public hearing. Mike Huizenga (GSS, Inc.) is representing the applicant, US Cellular, along with Sean Hempstead as it relates to the 180 foot self-support telecommunication tower that they're proposing by way of a conditional use permit off 355 Street within Johnson County's jurisdiction. Huizenga noted they do meet all Johnson County zoning requirements but one of the requirements that Johnson County has from their zoning ordinance is that they are to receive official comment from any city located within a two-mile radius of where they're proposing their tower and obviously Iowa City falls into that category. Huizenga stated the reason they are proposing this tower is there are currently two towers located approximately a half mile northeast of where they're proposing this new tower but both of those towers are scheduled to be decommissioned. One of those towers US Cellular is currently on and so the hope is to maintain current coverage and capacity in the area with the construction of the new tower. Hensch noted since the other towers are being decommissioned, what's the planned life of this particular tower. Huizenga replied the lease timeline they are targeting is somewhere around 95 years but that's not necessarily indicative of how long the tower is going to be up. From US Cellular's standpoint is to have leases that extend that long to secure the land to make it available for them to use for a tower long into the future. Elliott asked what happens to the decommissioned tower. Huizenga stated in his experience working through US Cellular leases they have very specific language on their leases for removal of improvements so the towers come down and then they're usually removed to below grade, a minimum of a foot to 36 inches, depending on the negotiations that took place when the tower originally went up. Hensch closed the public hearing. Towsend moved to approve CREZ24-0001 and application for a County conditional use permit to allow a telecommunications tower for property located at 355 Street and east of Kansas Avenue in unincorporated Johnson County. Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 3 of 14 Elliott second the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0. CASE NO. CREZ24-0002 Location: South of IWV Rd SW and West of Kansas Ave SW, Unincorporated Johnson County An application for a County conditional use permit to allow a temporary concrete and asphalt recycling use on land zoned County Agriculture (A) in unincorporated Johnson County outside the City's growth area. Russett began the staff report with the aerial map showing that the property is located west of Kansas Avenue SW and then the zoning map. Russett noted the land is zoned County Agriculture and there's a few parcels of land to the north that are zoned residential and then to the east is land zoned P (Public) for the City of Iowa City's landfill. Russett stated this land is in the City's fringe area but is outside the growth area and not anticipated to be annexed by the City. However, as Parker mentioned the County's Zoning Code requires review by cities within two miles and that's why this is before the Commission tonight. Asphalt and concrete recycling plants are allowed by conditional use permit in the County Agriculture zone. Their proposal is temporary asphalt and concrete recycling and they anticipate the use would last for one year. Access to the site would be from an existing field entrance off of Kansas Avenue SW. Russett noted there are specific use criteria that need to be met for these types of concrete recycling uses and the County will ensure that those are met as part of their review. Staff is recommending approval of CREZ24-0002, an application for a County conditional use permit for a temporary asphalt and concrete recycling use. Hensch asked if conditional use permits have a time limit or do they go forever with the property Russett is unsure how the County handles those permits. Craig is curious that this is temporary because if they are tearing up a road out someplace will they take this stuff to recycle it or is this a common thing that they would do for a year and then go someplace else. Russett noted the applicant could answer those questions. Hensch opened the public hearing. Josh Entler (Concise Earth Construction) is here representing the applicant, the landowner, as the prospective contractor that would be doing the crushing. He stated this is temporary, the timespan they are requesting is one year, which is part of the requirement in the Code for them to go to the Board of Adjustment for the County. They are asking for a one-year windowjust because it takes time to find all their operators to make it work and need to have a 12 month window of when this permit would be valid. He stated it's like $30,000 a month to rent this crusher so they've also agreed to a 60 -to -90 -day operational window of when they will have a pile of material on site that they would like to give a new life and recycle. Hensch noted he has seen these before many times around big road projects and they are typically always done on a temporary basis, the crushing operation is set up and then the next PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION ATTENDANCE RECORD 2023-2024 KEY: X = Present O = Absent O/E = Absent/Excused = Not a Member 2/15 3/1 4/5 4/19 6/21 7/5 7/19 8/2 8/16 10/4 10/18 111158 12/6 12/20 1/17 2/7 2/21 CRAIG, SUSAN X X X X X X X X X X X X X O/E X X X ELLIOTT, MAGGIE X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X O/E X HENSCH, MIKE X X X X X O/E X X X X X X X X X X X PADRON, MARIA X X X X X X O/E X X X X X O/E X X X X QUELLHORST, SCOTT -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- X X X X X X X X X SIGNS, MARK O/E O/E X -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - TOWNSEND, BILLIE X X X X X X X O/E X X X X X X X X X WADE, CHAD X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X KEY: X = Present O = Absent O/E = Absent/Excused = Not a Member March 19, 2024 Johnson County Board of Adjustment Johnson County Admin Building; Planning, Development & Sustainability 913 S.

Iowa 52240-1826 (319)3S6-5000 (3 19) 356-5009 FAX www.icgov.org RE: Conditional Use Permit for a telecommunications tower, Parcel Number 1102376001, Unincorporated Johnson County Dear Members of the Board, The Iowa City City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission have reviewed the request from Michael Huizenga for a conditional use permit for the allowance of telecommunications tower. The Johnson County Unified Development Ordinance requires that cities be allowed to review conditional use permits for properties within 2 miles of the City's corporate limits. At its February 21, 2024, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, staff recommended approval of the conditional use permit subject to compliance with the supplemental conditions required for this use by the Johnson County Unified Development Code. The Commission concurred and the motion to recommend approval passed by a vote of 7-0. On March 19, 2024, the City Council reviewed the conditional use permit application and agreed with the Planning and Zoning Commission. City Council recommends that this conditional use permit be approved. Thank you for your consideration of our comments on this application. Sincerely, Bruce Teague Mayor, City of Iowa City Item Number: 7.c. CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT March 19, 2024 Resolution delegating review authority of County Conditional Use Permits. Prepared By: Anne Russett, Senior Planner Reviewed By: Tracy Hightshoe, Neighborhood and Development Services Director Fiscal Impact: N/A Staff Recommendation: Approval Commission Recommendations: N/A Attachments: Resolution Executive Summary: The Johnson County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) allows for City Council or a duly authorized representative to comment or waive comment on County Conditional Use Permits (CUP) when they are located within Iowa City's extraterritorial jurisdiction. To streamline the review and reduce the amount of staff time required for these reviews, staff recommends authorizing administrative review by the Director of Neighborhood and Development Services or designee, unless the Director or designee determines the public interest would be better served by a full review by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. Example conditional use permit applications are provided in the background/analysis section. While the County regulates land use for property outside of City limits, State law allows Cities to establish a two-mile extraterritorial area beyond City boundaries, known as the Fringe Area, for the purpose of reviewing and approving subdivisions. The City's most recent update to its current Fringe Area Agreement with Johnson County was adopted on November 16, 2021. The agreement specifically governs review of County future land use map amendments, rezonings, subdivisions, and site plans. However, it does not create a process for City review of County Conditional Use Permits. Background /Analysis: The Fringe Area Agreement does not contemplate Conditional Use Permits. Section 8:1.28.8.7 of the County UDO, however, states that "For Conditional Use permits, a copy of the application and notice of the hearing shall be sent to each municipality whose extraterritorial jurisdiction includes the property involved in the proceedings. The Board of Adjustment shall not take final action on an application prior to receiving official comment or waiver from the City Council, or a Council's duly authorized representative, for each municipality whose extraterritorial jurisdiction includes the property involved in the proceedings. " The extraterritorial jurisdiction is defined as land within 2 miles of a City's corporate limits, which can include land outside the area covered by the City/County Fringe Area Agreement. Under the current process, staff first reviews the CUP application and provides a recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission then holds a public meeting and makes a recommendation on the CUP to City Council, after which Council makes a recommendation to the County Board of Adjustment. CUPs in Johnson County require a 4/5 majority vote of the County Board to approve if the use is opposed by the City. The proposed process would streamline review by delegating authority to the Director of Neighborhood and Development Services or designee so that comments or waiver to the Johnson County Board of Adjustment would be provided by City staff rather than Council. Many of the CUP applications received are for projects that have little to no impact on the City's ability to achieve its land use policy goals. Some are located within the City's Fringe Area, but located Outside of the City's Growth Area. One recent application was located on land within the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, but not within the area covered by the City/County Fringe Area Agreement. The City's interest is primarily with CUPs proposed within the City's Growth Area. The City reviews approximately one to two County CUPs within its extraterritorial jurisdiction per year. The majority of these tend to be straightforward cases where staff, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and City Council recommend approval. Over the past 5 years, Council has reviewed the following: • CU19-1: Council recommended approval of a request from S&G Materials for a CUP to expand its current hours of operation for the mining of sand and gravel at 4059 Izaak Walton League Road SE, subject to requested conditions. Located outside the City's Growth Area. • CU20-01: Council recommended approval of a request from Nick Hemann to allow a commercial storage facility at 3037 and 3031 IWV Road SW. Located Outside the City's Growth Area. • CU20-02: Council recommended approval of a request from Ward Development Services, LLC to allow a 195' tall commercial communications tower at the 4200 block of Yvette Street SW in Unincorporated Johnson County. Located Outside the City's Growth Area. • CREZ20-0002: Council recommended approval of a request from Bryan Jensen to allow a dog kennel and daycare facility at Lot 2 and Outlot A of Lovik First Subdivision subject to requested conditions. Located within the City's Growth Area. • CREZ21-0004: Council recommended denial of a request from MidAmerican Energy to allow an electrical substation north of Kountry Lane and west of the Sycamore Greenway but alternatively recommended approval subject to requested conditions. Located within the City's Growth Area. • CREZ22-0001: Council recommended approval of a request from Jacob Mangold to allow an accessory dwelling unit at 5010 American Legion Road. Located Outside the City's Growth Area. • CREZ23-0001: Council recommended approval of a request from Pablo Mejia to allow a home industry at 4201 Nursery Lane SE. Located Outside the City's Growth Area. • CREZ24-0001: In review. For a cell tower on property not located within the City's Fringe Area. • CREZ24-0002: In review. For a temporary concrete and asphalt recycling plant located in the City's Fringe Area, but Outside the City's Growth Area. Not including the 2024 cases, in five out of the seven cases, the Planning and Zoning Commission and Council followed staff's recommendation. Based on the limited volume and general alignment between staff, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and Council, staff anticipates little impact on the comments provided to the County. In addition, this delegation of authority will allow for faster processing of CUPs, reduce staff workload, but maintain the ability to take more controversial items to the City Council. Staff recommends approval of the proposed Resolution to allow administrative review of County Conditional Use Permits unless the Director of Neighborhood and Development Services determines the public will be better served by a review by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. Prepared by: Anne Russett, Senior Planner, 410 E. Washington St, Iowa City, IA Resolution No. 24-53 Resolution delegating review authority of County Conditional Use Permits. Whereas, the Johnson County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requires conditional use permits for such uses as telecommunication towers, asphalt and concrete recycling plans, and accessory dwelling units; and Whereas, the UDO requires that the Johnson County Board of Adjustment not take action on a County Conditional Use Permit application prior to receiving official comment or waiver from the City Council or Council's duly authorized representative, for permit applications in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction; and Whereas, the extraterritorial jurisdiction is defined as land within two (2) miles of the City's corporate limits; and Whereas, the City finds it in the public interest to delegate such review authority accordingly. Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, that: 1. The Director of Neighborhood and Development Services or designee is hereby authorized to provide official comment or waiver of review to the Johnson County Board of Adjustment regarding applications for Conditional Use Permits in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Iowa City. 2. Where the Director or designee determines, in his or her sole discretion, that the public interest would be served by City Council review and comment, the Director may submit the application to the City Council, following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT March 19, 2024 Resolution amending budgeted positions in the Neighborhood Services Division of the Neighborhood and Development Services Department by reclassifying one full-time Associate Planner position to one full-time, Senior Community Development Planner position and amending the Administrative pay plan by adding the position Senior Community Development Planner to grade 29. Prepared By: Erika Kubly, Neighborhood Services Coordinator Reviewed By: Tracy Hightshoe, Neighborhood and Development Services Director Geoff Fruin, City Manager Fiscal Impact: Federal CDBG and HOME administrative fees will cover the increased cost of this position. Staff Recommendation: Approval Commission Recommendations: NA Attachments: Resolution Executive Summary: The Neighborhood Services Division currently has an Associate Planner position responsible for administering CDBG, HOME and other federal, state and local housing and community development programs. After evaluating the needs of the division, staff has determined that a Senior Community Development Planner would better meet the needs of the division. Staff seek approval to reclassify the Associate Planner position to Senior Community Development Planner. Background /Analysis: The City of Iowa City is an entitlement community that receives approximately $1.2 million in CDBG and HOME funds annually from the Department of Housing and Community Development (HUD). These funds are allocated to programs and activities that serve low- income residents of Iowa City, both through internal programs and through partnerships with local nonprofits. Since 2020, the city has received an influx of federal and state funding for housing and community development activities through the CARES Act, American Rescue Plan Act, and other sources. Over $21 million in funding was allocated through CDBG-CV, HOME -ARP, and ARPA sources, all of which are being administered through the community development workgroup in Neighborhood Services. Each federal program and activity administered by the city comes with a unique set of regulations that must be followed in order to use and maintain the funds. Additionally, HUD continues to roll out historic changes to entitlement programs and cross -cutting federal regulations that staff must learn, implement, and train partner agencies on to ensure funds are spent in an appropriate and timely manner. Based on these substantial changes to the work required in community development and corresponding workload, staff have determined that the division would be better served by reclassifying the Associate Planner position with a Senior Community Development Planner. This position will direct and supervise the operational, financial, and personnel activities of the Community Development workgroup. The Housing Rehabilitation Specialists (formerly under the Housing Inspections workgroup), Grant Specialist and the Program Assistants would report to this position. After review of the duties, responsibilities, and requirements of the Senior Community Development Planner position, it has been classified at paygrade 29 in the Administrative/Confidential pay plan. Administrative fees received through the city's CDBG and HOME allocations will cover the increased cost of this position. -/, j Prepared by Erika Kubly, Neighborhood Services Coord., 410 E.

Item Number: 7.k. CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT March 19, 2024 Resolution approving, authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute and the City Clerk to attest a correction to the agreement between the City of Iowa City and the Iowa Department of Transportation for acceptance of Bridge Investment Program (BIP) Funds for the Burlington Street Bridge Project. Prepared By: Reviewed By: Fiscal Impact: Staff Recommendation Attachments: Resolution Agreement Executive Summary: Jason Havel City - Engineer Ron Knoche - Public Works Director Redmond Jones II - Deputy City Manager Funding is available in the Burlington Street Bridge Replacement Project account #S3963. Approval This item authorizes a correction to the Agreement for acceptance of BIP funds from the Iowa Department of Transportation for the Burlington Street Bridge Project. The corrected agreement revises the reimbursement rate of eligible costs to 50% to match the terms of the grant award. The previous agreement erroneously identified the reimbursement rate as 80% of eligible costs. Background /Analysis: This agreement authorizes the City to receive federal funding through the BIP. The City applied for and received $300,000 in BIP funding, which will be distributed through the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the IDOT agrees to provide the funding to the City for authorized and approved costs for eligible items associated with the Burlington Street Bridge Project. This funding is expected to assist with the study, environmental review and preliminary design phases of the project. The Burlington Street Bridge Project is expected to include the following, as well as other related improvements: • Replacement of the existing Burlington Street bridges over the Iowa River with a single bridge. • Roadway improvements to Burlington Street, Melrose Avenue and Byington Road, including the conversion of Melrose Avenue and Byington Road to accommodate two- way traffic. • Repair or replacement of the pedestrian overpass over Riverside Drive. • Geometric improvements to the intersection of Grand Avenue/Burlington Street/Highway 1 and Riverside Drive/Highway 1/Highway 6. • Evaluation of the existing dam located under the Burlington Street bridge and identification of potential improvement, repair and/or replacement options. Depending on the findings of the study, modifications or replacement of the dam may be selected for inclusion in the project design and construction phases. Currently, Burlington Street/Highway 1 utilizes two bridges to cross the Iowa River, one carrying westbound traffic and the other carrying eastbound traffic. The westbound bridge is owned and maintained by the IDOT, while the eastbound bridge is owned by the City of Iowa City. The City's original Burlington Street Bridge (now carrying eastbound traffic) was constructed in 1915. It was then rehabilitated in 1986, which included deck and structural repairs. The existing eastbound concrete bridge is 342 feet in length, with a longest span of 114 feet, and is 38 feet wide. In 2021 the City performed a bridge inspection, and the resulting bridge condition was listed as "Poor" and serviceability as "Structurally Deficient". Major defects including concrete cracking, spalling, and exposure of steel reinforcing were identified and it was identified for repair or replacement. Item Number: 7.1.

A Landmark Designation sign was posted on the site. January 17, 2024 March 1. 2024 On October 9, 2023, the City of Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission recommended moving forward with an application to designate the property at 302-316 E. Bloomington Street, formally known as the Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building, as a Local Historic Landmark. Designation of a Local Historic Landmark is a rezoning process that requires rezoning the property to apply the Historic District Overlay (OHD) zone. After the Historic Preservation Commission stated its intent to move forward with a landmark designation, staff reached out to the property owner. Staff, along with the Historic Preservation Commission's Chair, met with the owner of the property to discuss the significance of the building, the landmarking process, and requirements related to historic review if landmarked. On February 8, 2024, the Historic Preservation Commission considered the landmark rezoning and recommended approval by a vote of 8-0. See Attachment 3 for the staff report, which includes the architectural and historical evaluation of the property as an attachment. The HPC found that the property is significant for its role in the ethnic and commercial history of Iowa City's Northside neighborhood and as a well-preserved example of Italianate architecture and additionally met the following criteria for Local Landmark designation: • Significant to American and/or Iowa City history, architecture, archaeology and culture; • Possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials, and workmanship; • Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; and • Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; or represents the work of a master; or possesses high artistic values; or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. At the Historic Preservation Commission's meeting the property owner, Gary Skarda, stated that he did not support the rezoning. Several members of the public expressed their support of the rezoning at the meeting. Additional correspondence regarding the rezoning is included in Attachment 4. 3 ANALYSIS Current Zoning: The property is currently zoned Central Business Service (CB -2) zone. The purpose of the CB -2 zone is primarily to serve as a transition between intense land uses in the Central Business Service district and adjoining areas. Proposed Zoning: The purpose of the Historic District Overlay Zone is to designate Local Historic Landmarks and Local Historic Districts. The property is not currently located within a Local Historic District. In order to designate the property as a Local Historic Landmark, the rezoning process is required. If designated, any exterior modifications to the building that require a regulated permit will need to go through the historic review process. In addition, the property is eligible for special exceptions (Section 14-2B-8 of the zoning code) that would allow the Board of Adjustment to waive or modify certain zoning requirements to help support the continued use of historic buildings. The property will also be eligible for financial incentives such as tax credits and the Iowa City Historic Preservation Fund. Planning and Zoning Commission Review: Designation of a Local Historic Landmark is a rezoning process; and therefore, requires a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission to the City Council. Per 14-8E-1 E the Commission's role is to review the proposed designation based on its relation to the Comprehensive Plan, as well as proposed public improvements and plans for renewal of the area involved. The IC2030 Plan includes principles, goals, and strategies that are in support of the Local Landmark Rezoning. The neighborhood design principles of the comprehensive plan include Preserve Historic Resources and Reinvest in Established Neighborhoods (pg. 20). The intent of this principle is to ensure the stability and livability of the city's historic neighborhoods to preserve the culture, history, and identify of Iowa City. The Land Use section includes a goal to Continue to protect the community's historical, environmental, and aesthetic assets. Associated with that goal are the strategies to encourage the protection of natural areas and historic features and to continue support for the Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan. This section of the plan also notes that historic preservation policies have helped to save Iowa City's most historic buildings and have preserved the distinctive architecture of entire neighborhoods (pg. 26). The Housing section includes a goal to Preserve the integrity of existing neighborhoods and the historic nature of older neighborhoods. This goal is supported by the strategy that aims to support the Historic Preservation Commission's efforts to meet its goals (pg. 29). 302-316 E. Bloomington Street is in the Central Planning District. The Central District Plan encourages preservation of historic homes, resources, and neighborhoods, especially in areas close to the University. The introduction of the plan notes that the City has also been successful in protecting historic resources in the Central District through the adoption of historic district and conservation district overlay zones, and by bestowing historic landmark status on the area's most significant buildings and properties (pg. 9). The Northside Marketplace is included in this plan and is defined as the historic commercial neighborhood bounded by Bloomington and Jefferson Streets and North Gilbert and Dubuque Streets. The subject property is located at the northern end of this area. Although this area is close to downtown, the plan notes that it maintains a distinct identity and scale. The plan explains that some redevelopment within the Northside Marketplace is likely. However, there is a strong desire to maintain the historic mainstreet character (pg. 15, 16). Many community members also indicated that the historic character of the Northside Marketplace is one of its greatest assets (pg. 55, 56). rd Furthermore, the Northside Marketplace section contains goals and objectives that relate to the importance of the historic character of the neighborhood. This section includes Goal 1: Preserve and promote the unique aspects of the Northside Marketplace. The objectives that support this goal including establishing policies and regulations that will preserve the existing scale and mainstreet commercial character of the Northside Marketplace and protecting historic buildings as an integral part of the Northside Marketplace (pg. 57). The designation of the subject property as a Local Historic Landmark will achieve the objective related to protecting historic buildings. The Historic Preservation Plan includes several goals and objectives to achieve its overall Mission Statement: Iowa City and its citizens seek to identify, protect, and preserve the community's historic resources in order to enhance the quality of life and economic well-being of current and future generations (pg. 16). In the plan, Goal 1: Identify historic resources to Iowa City's Past, is relevant to the designation of 302-316 E. Bloomington Street as a Local Historical Landmark due to the objectives that the Historic Preservation Commission is expected to carry out. The first objective is to continue to research and evaluate historic resources through the systematic and prioritized completion of neighborhood and thematic -based historical and architectural surveys. The third objective under this goal calls for the Historic Preservation Commission to set designation priorities for historic districts and landmarks that emphasize the most important or threatened resources first. The fifth objective further encourages local landmark designations by the Historic Preservation Commission by continuing to nominate individual properties and historic districts to the National Register of Historic Places and when appropriate, pursue local designation as landmarks and historic districts for National Register properties (pg. 31-33). The plan also includes a section which discusses the Gilbert -Linn Street Historic District. This historic district is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The locally designated district is referred to as the Northside Historic District. Although the subject property is not located in either of these districts, because they are residential districts, this section of the plan discusses the importance of various properties both in and outside of these districts. Objective 6 for the Gilbert -Linn Street neighborhood is to Incorporate historic preservation efforts in planning for the Northside Market Place retail district (intersecting blocks at Market, Linn, Gilbert and Bloomington streets). Within this objective the importance of the subject property is discussed. Specifically, this objective discusses promoting the preservation of architectural elements such as the Slezak Building -National Hall (pg. 83). CORRESPONDENCE: Staff has received 43 letters of public correspondence (Attachment 4) from the community in support of the proposed Local Historic Landmark rezoning. Based on testimony at the Historic Preservation Commission's public hearing, the property owner does not support the proposed Local Historic Landmark rezoning. SUMMARY: In summary, staff finds that the Local Historic Landmark rezoning of 302-316 E. Bloomington Street, from Central Business Service (CB -2) zone to CB -2 with a Historic District Overlay (OHD/CB-2) zone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan, including the Central District Plan and the Historic Preservation Plan, encourages pursuing local landmark designations when appropriate to provide protection for important historic resources. In the case of 302-316 E. Bloomington Street, the property has been identified as an anchor in the community with significant cultural and historic values. The history behind this property highlights the generational success and perseverance of immigrants in Iowa City. NEXT STEPS: Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the rezoning will be considered for approval by the City Council. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of REZ24-0001, an application to rezone 302-316 E. Bloomington Street from Central Business Service (CB -2) zone to CB -2 with a Historic District Overlay (OHD/CB-2) zone in order to designate it as a Local Historic Landmark. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

IA. 52240 Memorandum Date: January 31, 2024 To: Historic Preservation Commission From: Jessica Bristow, Historic Preservation Planner Re: 302-316 East Bloomington Street, Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building Background The Historic Preservation component of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the identification and preservation of properties and neighborhoods that are significant to Iowa City's architecture and culture. Towards achieving this goal, the Commission designated the first group of local landmarks in 1996. This first group included many of the properties that were previously listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Even while this group of local designations was still in process, the Commission began a list of properties for their next group of local landmarks, including properties that were eligible for listing in the National Register. In 2015, as part of the Commission's work plan, they created another list of properties that were prioritized for local landmark designation because they were not located in local districts. The Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building, at 302-316 East Bloomington Street, appears on both lists of significant Iowa City properties. This building has been owned by the same family since it was built from 1875 to 1880. Even without designation as a local landmark, the building has been cared for as a preservationist would recommend with exterior elements being repaired instead of replaced for almost 150 years. On October 9, 2023, the Commission discussed moving forward an application to designate the property at 302-316 E. Bloomington Street as a Local Historic Landmark. Designation of the property as an Iowa City Historic Landmark will require Commission approval of any significant changes to the exterior of the building. Landmark status will also make the property eligible for special exceptions that would allow the Board of Adjustment to waive or modify certain zoning requirements and for State Tax Credit funding of rehabilitation work. The property would also be eligible for the City's Historic Preservation Fund to help with exterior repair work. Since the HPC's October 91" meeting, staff, the Commission Chair, and the property owner met to discuss the landmark designation. At this meeting staff explained what it means to own a property that is designated as a Local Historic Landmark. Staff also discussed the process by which the landmark status is evaluated. After this initial meeting with the property owner, Friends of Historic Preservation hired local historian, Jennifer Price, to complete the site inventory form that documents the history, integrity, and significance of the property (see attachment). The first part of the local landmark designation process is the public hearing before the Commission, which is scheduled for February 8, 2024. Analysis Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240 The site inventory form for the Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building evaluates the property according to the National Register criteria as required by the state. For National Register listing, all properties must be significant and exhibit appropriate historic integrity. These two conditions are equivalent to criteria A and B of the local landmark process listed below. National Register listings must be significant in at least one of four applicable criteria which are equivalent with criteria C through F as shown below. In the review of Local Historic Landmarks, it is the role of the Commission to determine whether the property meets criterion A and B and also whether it meets at least one of the criteria C, D, E, or F: a. Significant to American and/or Iowa City history, architecture, archaeology and culture; b. Possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship; c. Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; d. Associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; e. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; or represents the work of a master; or possesses high artistic values; or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; f. Has yielded or may likely yield information important in prehistory or history. As Jennifer Price determined that the building has both the significance and integrity required for National Register listing, staff finds that the building is significant to Iowa City architecture and culture and exhibits recognizable integrity (Local Criteria A and B). The Site Inventory Form summarizes the cultural importance of the building to the Iowa City community because it is "associated with both the ethnic and commercial history of Iowa City's Northside neighborhood." As Price continues, "the complex of brick Italianate style commercial buildings at the corner of East Bloomington and North Linn Streets was a one-stop shopping, dining, lodging, entertainment, and cultural center for the over- growing Bohemian -American community in Iowa City and northern Johnson County." The National Hall on the second floor "was home to Iowa City's many Bohemian fraternal and community organizations that used the hall for their meetings and housed a comprehensive cultural library." Even by 1900 the building was considered "one of the landmarks of this city." The building was built and operated by Joseph Slezak for 25 years and then it was run by his son-in- law Joseph Holub. As originally built, the building consisted of the two-story portion on the corner that included two stores on the first floor with a saloon and dining hall accessed around the corner from Linn Street. The second floor was the fraternal hall with dance floor, stage, and a balcony. The three-story building behind was a boarding house. Along the alley a carriage house had laundry and sleeping rooms on the upper floors. Adjacent to the carriage house on the east was the stable and feed barn. By 1920, the boarding house was running as a hotel and the stable was converted to a garage. Later, about 1930, Holub remodeled the hotel and hall into apartments, creating a large storage attic in the vaulted space above the former National Hall. The former stable/garage became a laundromat in 1958 and Pizza Palace/Pagliai's Pizza moved into the grocery space in 1969. Based on the information in the Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240 Site Inventory Form, staff finds that the building is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history (Local Criterion C). As stated in the Site Inventory Form the Slezak/Holub Building is a remarkably well-preserved example of commercial Italianate architecture. It features a two -bay storefront that was remodeled 55 years ago for the Pizza Palace (with the tile base likely introduced in the 1930s). Above the sign board that covers the storefront transom area, there is a mid-level bracketed cornice with dentils below narrow round - arched windows with brick hoodmolds. The upper portion of these windows was closed with beadboard at the time of the 1930s remodel. The building is topped by a heavy bracketed cornice and a Baroque pediment that is similar to architectural details found in 19'" century Central European architecture familiar to Bohemian immigrants, such as Slezak. The saloon entrance off Linn Street was bricked in at some point and a single window was also bricked in. The three-story Holub Apartments has a projecting entrance (likely from the 1930s remodel), more decorative, cast hoodmolds over the windows and a more elaborate cornice with triglyphs and metopes between brackets. The carriage house is a simple brick building with synthetic siding on the south wall and mid-century 2 -over -2 horizontal lite window sashes. The laundromat is a brick building with large gable and sliding stable door evident on the alley side and large Baroque pediment on the street-fagade. Because of its Baroque pediments, unique in Iowa City, and the Italianate commercial style, that has not been altered in many years, staff finds that the building also embodies the distinctive characteristics of its type and is also eligible for local landmark designation for its architecture (Local Criterion E). Based on the information provided in the Site Inventory Form, staff finds that the property meets criteria A, B, C, and E and therefore qualifies as a Local Historic Landmark. Next Steps Following the recommendation from the Historic Preservation Commission, the rezoning application establishing the Historic District Overlay zone will be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission will review the proposal for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council will then hold a public hearing and consider the recommendations of the Historic Preservation Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission before deciding whether to establish the historic overlay zone, creating the Local Landmark Designation. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the designation of 302-316 East Bloomington Street, the Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building, as a Local Historic Landmark based on the following criteria for local designation: criteria A, B, C, and E.

Bloomington and N. Linn Sts Iowa City Address City NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION The Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building is located at the northeast corner of N. Linn Street and E. Bloomington Street on the north side of Iowa City, seat of Johnson County in eastern Iowa. The property is bordered on the west and north sides by the southern boundary lines of the Gilbert -Linn Street Historic District, a National Register -listed residential historic district containing a large neighborhood of late nineteenth and early twentieth century houses. Although it is outside the boundaries of the Gilbert -Linn Street Historic District, the Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building is visually part of the district both architecturally and historically and is a familiar landmark in the overall Northside neighborhood of Iowa City. Along the west side of the property, N. Linn Street retains its original brick paving. Across Bloomington Street to the south is a large, paved lot that provides overflow parking for Pagliai's Pizza — the commercial tenant in the main level store unit since 1969 — and other nearby businesses, including Hamburg Inn No. 2 just south of the parking lot. The surroundings to the southeast, south, and southwest feature a mix of late - nineteenth to mid -twentieth-century commercial buildings, historic residential buildings repurposed for commercial use, and a modern condominium building at the southwest corner of N. Linn and E. Bloomington streets. The subject property is a complex of four adjoining brick buildings built from 1875 to the 1880s that together form an L -shape around a central courtyard and parking lot with access to E. Bloomington Street. The entire Slezak Block complex is comprised of the main two-story brick block (40 by 80 feet) built on the northeast corner of N. Linn and E. Bloomington streets; a three-story brick Italianate style hotel addition (38 by 42 feet) built adjoining the rear of the main building with entrance on N. Linn Street; a two-story hotel addition (22 by 72 feet) adjoined to rear of the hotel addition and extending east along the north property line that originally held a carriage house, laundry, and sleeping rooms; and the laundromat (34 by 80 feet) — originally the stables and later a garage — built adjoining the east end of the carriage house and extending south to face E. Bloomington Street. The main building, 302 E. Bloomington Street, was built by Joseph Slezak in 1875 in the commercial Italianate style. The building has brick exterior walls, a front gabled roof clad in metal with three ventilators spaced evenly along the ridgeline. The front -gabled roof is hidden on the south side fagade by "a wooden pediment with Baroque curves. Below this is a heavy, projecting, wooden cornice with single, widely -spaced windows with three sashes, the upper section of which is boarded up. Around the semi -circular window tops the raised brick molding forms a rectangular panel. At the top of the first story is a less extended cornice' (Alexander 1970). The storefront was remodeled in 1938, creating a single central recessed tiled entry with wood and glass entry door, black tiled bulkheads, and plate glass windows. In 1969, the store interior was remodeled to house the pizza parlor that is still located there nearly 55 years later. "The second -story cornice extends along the east and west sides with upper - story windows repeating those of the south fagade. On the west side was a second entrance, leading to apartments, using cast iron elements and large glass windows. This has been bricked up and the present entrance is to the north" (Alexander 1970). The three-story northern addition (308-312 N. Linn Street) was built as a hotel and is five bays wide with a central entrance. It is also built of brick with a front -gabled roof. "The fagade is topped by a high cornice with a version of triglyph and metope ornament, and single, widely spaced brackets. All openings are topped by very plastic pressed tin arches with delicate inset floral ornament of an Eastlake character, the kind of tool used in the 1880s. The cornice continues around the building. Windows on the sides and back are topped by a segmental arch with a separate molding formed by protruding brick" (Alexander 1970). The adjoining two-story rear addition (former carriage house) has a flat roof and an entrance on the narrow west side, with the addresses 310-314 N. Linn Street. The segmental arch windows have newer 1/1 double hung sash windows. The south fagade, clad in vinyl siding, overlooks the small courtyard and parking lot. A central entry door and overhead garage door near the east endwall are features of the fagade. The easternmost addition (316 E. Bloomington Street) is also built of brick with a front -gabled roof hidden by a curved Baroque pediment that complements the one on the main building. "The curving features of the Baroque Iowa Site Inventory Form State Historic Preservation Office Continuation Sheet Site Number: 52-00602 Related District Number: Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building Johnson Name of Property County 302-316 E. Bloomington and N. Linn Sts Iowa City Address City pediment is executed in brick (rather than wood like the main building) and outlined in wood" (Alexander 1970). It served originally as a barn with stables for the horses of hotel guests. The building was converted by 1920 to a heated garage. In 1953, it housed a linen service, and in 1958, it was remodeled into a coin-operated laundromat. The brick fagade and the brick portion of the Baroque pediment appear to have been stuccoed and painted white. The recessed central entrance is flanked by two square fixed store windows. This storefront configuration (and perhaps the stucco as well) likely dates to 1958, when it was remodeled into the coin-operated laundromat that it remains today. Statement of Integrity In 1996, consultants Molly Myers Naumann and Brian Schultes — in their Survey and Evaluation of the Dubuque/Linn Corridor, Iowa City, Iowa — determined the Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building one of 10 sites that "appear to be individually significant" and likely "eligible for the NRHP and/or local landmark designation' (Naumann and Schultes 1996:10). Although the fifth -generation owner chose not to pursue National Register listing or local landmark status at the time of the survey, he has continued to maintain the historic building complex to a high degree. The building, therefore, remains deserving of local landmark designation and meets the seven aspects of integrity (location, setting, design, workmanship, materials, feeling, and association) that make it individually eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building complex is in its original location at the northeast corner of E. Bloomington and N. Linn Streets. Although the immediate surroundings to the east south and southwest have changed in the past 50 years (see Site Plan in Additional Documentation), the Slezak-Holub- Skarda Building is a landmark that anchors the south boundaries of the Gilbert -Linn Street Historic District, a well- preserved National Register -listed residential district of houses dating to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (see Site Plan in Additional Documentation). View looking north at the Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building, home of Pagliai's Pizza since 1969. Photo by Price Preservation Research, December 2023 The original footprint and design of this Italianate style building complex is intact, and the workmanship and materials of the original builders is visible on all sides. Extant original character -defining features — including the face brick, fenestration pattern, hood molds, brackets and cornices, and Baroque pediments — have been preserved throughout periods of remodeling and repurposing. The Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building conveys a feeling of time and place of a late -nineteenth-century Italianate commercial block — even with its modern commercial tenants — that the building's original owners and customers would instantly recognize. The building is now thoroughly associated with Pagliai's Pizza, which has been located here since 1969, and yet the entire complex has been remarkably preserved so that its modern uses do not overwhelm the building's character -defining features or its historic association with the Gilbert -Linn Street Historic District and Northside neighborhood of Iowa City.

Bloomington and N. Linn Sts Iowa City Address City STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building is locally significant and individually eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A and C. Under Criterion A, the building is a landmark associated with both the ethnic and commercial history of Iowa City's northside neighborhood. Begun by Joseph Slezak in 1875 and completed in the 1880s, the complex of brick Italianate style commercial buildings at the corner of E. Bloomington and N. Linn streets was a one-stop shopping, dining, lodging, entertainment, and cultural center for the ever-growing Bohemian - American community in Iowa City and northern Johnson County. Even the curved Baroque pediment recalled the Central European architecture that would have been familiar to Slezak and his fellow immigrants. His second -floor hall, known as Narodni Sin, or National Hall, was home to Iowa City's many Bohemian fraternal and community organizations that used the hall for their meetings, and housed a comprehensive cultural library. The hall also included a dance floor, a stage, and balcony, and was the venue for numerous dances, parties, sporting events, and staged entertainments over its four decades of existence. Slezak himself operated his commercial and cultural complex (hotel, hall, saloon, and grocery/dry goods store) for 25 years, specifically serving Solon, Swisher, Shueyville, and rural Johnson County farmers, who came to town for market day or to visit the nearby hospitals. By 1900, just before Joseph Slezak turned over the businesses of the grocery, hall, and hotel to his son-in-law, Joseph F. Holub, the Slezak Block with its popular National Hall was already considered, as the Iowa City Daily Republican stated, "one of the landmarks of this city." Holub took over the property in 1909, continuing the hall, rooming house, and grocery store into the late 1920s and early 1930s. Holub remodeled the hall and rooming house into modern apartments around 1930, essentially creating the commercial property that it remains today. The additions of the laundromat in the former stable/garage in 1958 and Pagliai's Pizza in the former grocery store in 1969 have added more recent layers to the historical significance of this beloved 149 -year-old property that has passed through five generations of the same family and continues to be a landmark in Iowa City. Under Criterion C, the Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building is a remarkably well-preserved example of commercial Italianate architecture. As Molly Myers Naumann wrote in her Survey and Evaluation of the Dubuque/Linn Street Corridor in 1996: "This two story brick commercial building from 1875 (with three story addition...) is individually eligible as a fine example of Italianate commercial design. It features tall slender round arched windows on the second floor with simple brick hoodmolds, while on the first floor the windows are segmental arched with brick hoods. The three story addition has more elaborate cast hoodmolds. A bracketed wooden cornice surrounds both sections. Relatively few alterations have been made over the years, but these include: bricking in an entrance on the secondary (west) facade and putting in two small modern windows, bricking in a doorway on the west elevation, installation of smaller windows at the second floor level, creating a new brick foyer or vestibule entry to the rear wing, and new plate glass windows and entry door on the storefront." Although changes to the building over the past nine decades "sound extensive," according to Naumann, the building's overall integrity remains very high. Moreover, each of its remodels (c.1930, 1936, 1958, and 1969) are now over 50 years of age and thus part of the historic fabric. These changes are unobtrusive and do not diminish the building's overall architectural integrity or its original character -defining features, which include the unique curved Baroque pediment, the complementary pediment on the former stable/laundromat, arched fenestration, hood molds, and bracketed cornices. The entire building complex remains individually eligible for the National Register and would be a contributing resource, as Naumann wrote in 1996, "in any historic district that includes Linn Street." The preliminary period of significance for the Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building is 1875 to at least 1969, from the year the main building was completed and put into service to the year the store unit remodel was completed and Pagliai's "Pizza Palace" opened for business. History of the Siezak-Holub-Skarda Building, 1875-1975 By 1850, new residents to Iowa City included many immigrants from Bohemia (the area of Central Europe known today as the Czech Republic). They mainly settled in Cedar Rapids and Linn County, Johnson County north of Iowa City, and in the eastern part of Iowa City's Northside neighborhood, which came to be known as Goosetown Iowa Site Inventory Form State Historic Preservation Office Continuation Sheet Site Number: 52-00602 Related District Number: Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building Johnson Name of Property County 302-316 E. Bloomington and N. Linn Sts Iowa City Address City (Naumann 1996;E-6). "Arriving in Linn County, Iowa, around 1855, Johann (John/Jan) and Anna Sichrova Slezak came from P"rivrat, Bohemia, a village in the Usti Nad Orlici District in the Pardubice Region of today's Czech Republic" (Boller 2023). By 1870, the Slezaks were living in Monroe Township in Johnson County and in 1872 — fours year before his death — Johann (John) Slezak purchased Lots 5 & 6 in Block 57 of the Original Plat of Iowa City. This property, located at the corner of N. Linn and E. Bloomington streets, had been home to the State "Blind Asylum," which was in 1872 "an old stone building" built in 1853 that had been sitting unused since that institution was moved to Vinton in 1862. In March 1874, the Slezaks deeded the property to their oldest son Joseph ("Joe") (1847-1912) (Iowa Anti Monopolist, March 27, 1874). Two months later, Joe Slezak had moved into the "old Blind Asylum" and opened a grocery store and National Hall, or "Narodni Sin' in Czech (Iowa State Press, May 19, 1875; History of Johnson County Iowa 1883;75-76). 3,�, . 57 The complete Slezak building complex as shown on the 1888 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map of Iowa City. Source: Library of Congress website When the old Blind Asylum was badly damaged by fire a year later in May 1875, Joe Slezak tore it down and began construction of his own building to house his grocery and National Hall. The result was an Italianate style two-story brick block with an unusual Baroque pediment (Iowa Anti Monopolist, May 1, 1874; Iowa State Press, May 19, 1875). When it opened in November 1875, the main building featured two store units, a dining room, and saloon on the main floor, while the second floor served as a large meeting and dance hall and likely hotel rooms in the rear. Upstairs, the National Hall, or Narodni Sin, included a dance floor, a stage, and balcony, and would be the venue for numerous meetings, dances, parties, sporting events, and staged entertainments over the next four decades. BLOOM I N Slezak's Hotel, or "Farmer's Home," was officially opened on November 1, 1875, and his National Hall (or "Narodni Sin') was opened on November 15, 1875. Slezak advertised both grand openings in the local Bohemian language newspaper, Slovan Americky (Slovan Americky, October 28, 1875; Boller 2023; Jacobsen [19811:12). Slezak sought especially to cater to farmers living in rural Johnson County, who regularly traveled by horse and wagon into Iowa City on market days to trade their farm products and purchase goods on Iowa Avenue, the city's main marketplace and just blocks from Slezak Hall. Because these trips to town often included an overnight stay, entrepreneurs like Joe Slezak "opened farmers hotels,' offering inexpensive overnight boarding that also included a hearty meal and a stable where farmers could safely park their horses & wagons' (Boller 2023). After the grand openings, Iowa City's other newspapers praised Slezak and his new brick block: The "National," the new Bohemian hotel built on the site formerly occupied by the old Blind Asylum, was completed last week. The splendid hall on the second story was dedicated on Monday night by a grand ball, participated in by over 400 persons. The structure cost $8,000, and is the property of [Joseph] Slezack [sic] (Iowa City Republican, November 17, 1875). Mr. Slezack [sic] has built, on the site of the old Blind Asylum, a most creditable brick structure, in which is the finest and best proportioned public hall in town. This new building will be the home of the Ochotnik and other Bohemian societies and there will be their library, one of the largest selections of Sclavic [sic] literature in the United States (Iowa City Daily Press, November 29, 1875).

The first advertisements for Josef "Joe" Slezak's new building appeared in the local Bohemian language newspaper, Slovan Americky. On the left, Slezak gives details of the grand opening of his new "Farmers' Home" with dining room and stables on November 1, 1875, and on the right of the grand opening of The National Hall (Narodni Sin) with a dance ball on November 15, 1875. The "Farmer's Home" was located in the original building, and the stables were nearby. The extant brick hotel, carriage house, and stables were complete by 1888. Source: Sloven Americky, October 28, 1875 Slezak added more buildings until the entire Slezak complex was complete by 1888 (see 1888 Sanborn Map). To his main brick block on the northeast corner of N. Linn and E. Bloomington streets, he added a three-story brick Italianate style hotel addition (38 by 42 feet) on the north side with entrance on N. Linn Street; an adjoining hotel addition (22 by 72 feet) to the north and extending east that originally housed a carriage house, laundry, and sleeping rooms; and a large barn with stables (34 by 80 feet) adjoined to the east end of the carriage house and extending and facing south. Altogether, the buildings formed an L -shape. Slezak intended his corner building complex to be a one-stop shopping, dining, lodging, entertainment, and cultural center for the Bohemian -American community in Iowa City and Johnson County environs. Even the building's curved Baroque pediment recalled the Central European architecture that would have been familiar to Slezak and his fellow immigrants. From 1875 to the 1910s, "Slezak's National Hotel and Hall" was home to the following Bohemian fraternal and community organizations using the hall for their meetings: Trasti (c. 1892), Zastit (1901- 15), Slovanska Lipa (1892), Forum Palacky (1904-9), and Iowa City Lodge #180 of ZCBJ (1914)" (Boller 2023; Jacobsen 1981). Slezak operated his commercial and cultural complex (hotel, restaurant, hall, saloon, and grocery/dry goods) for 25 years, specifically serving Solon, Swisher, and Shueyville and northern Johnson County farmers, many of them Bohemian immigrants, who came to town for market day or to visit the nearby hospitals and needed overnight accommodations (Jacobsen 1981; Boller 2023). In 1886, a notice in the Iowa State Press told readers Joe Slezak had turned over operation of the grocery/dry goods store "to his former clerk, Joseph F. Holub, who will continue the business at the old stand, National Hall building." Eva Slezak, Joe's wife, continued to be in charge of "the boarding house as heretofore," while Slezak continued as proprietor of the National Hall. Holub (1867-1934) eventually married the Slezaks' daughter, Anna (1872-1963), in 1892 and apparently left the Slezak store to work elsewhere until 1901 (Iowa State Press, September 29, 1886; Boller 2023). City directories show the grocery was run by Joe's son, Frank Slezak, in 1899, and again by Joe Slezak in 1901. A saloon operated by Joseph Slezak was listed in 1878, by Frank Slezak in 1899, and again by Joseph Slezak in 1901 (Jacobsen 1981).

Bloomington and N. Linn Sts Iowa City Address City By 1892, Joseph Slezak was praised by the Iowa City Weekly Republican as "Prominent among the Bohemians, "a natural leader among men," and "a man of indomitable energy." Commencing in a small way he has built up in Iowa City an extensive property occupying the site of the old blind asylum, his National Hall, a place of public meetings and social gatherings. Beneath it are two commodious store rooms devoted to groceries, dry goods and general merchandise. In the same building he conducts a well appointed hotel. Mr. Slezak has in every way deserved his success (Iowa City Weekly Republican, December 20th, 1892). In 1901, Joseph F. Holub took over the grocery store, and "all the other business ventures centered in the Slezak block:" Joseph Holub ... will succeed his father-in-law, Joseph Slezak, as proprietor of the National hall, the Farmers' home, the grocery store and all the other business ventures centered in the Slezak block. Mr. Slezak, as a hard-working, popular pioneer, has built up a great business there, and his son-in- law certainly starts an independent commercial career with a fine outlook for prosperity and fortune. As to Mr. Holub himself, everybody knows him. His connection with Gramling's, Denecke & Yetter's and Yetter's has made him acquainted with thousands of householders in Johnson county [sic]. He is a diligent, courteous and always good natured salesman, and as "his own boss" will doubtless do exceedingly well (Daily Iowa State Press, September 25, 1901). In 1909, Slezak sold the entire property to Holub: An important transfer of property has taken place through the purchase from J.J. Slezak of the property owned by the former at the corner of Linn and Bloomington streets. Mr. Holub has for some time been in active charge of the business conducted there, and is therefore familiar with the proposition which he has undertaken. The building on the site is one of the land marks [sic] of Iowa City and well built many years ago. It was a structure of fine construction and is therefore well preserved. The upper story is devoted to Dancehall and hotel purposes while on the ground floor are the grocery and saloon and the restaurant. No announcement of the consideration is made but the property is one generally valued at about $40,000. Mr. Holub will have the wish of his many friends for success in his continued business activities in his own property (Iowa City Press -Citizen, September 6, 1909). In 1919, Joseph Holub brought his son, William, into the business with him, styling themselves Holub and Son until 1933, when the name changed to Holub's Grocery (Iowa City Press -Citizen, February 24, 1933; Iowa City Press - Citizen, March 31, 1934; Iowa City Press -Citizen, May 16, 1935). Joseph Holub also continued the National Hall, which became known as Holub's Hall, until c.1926-1928, when he embarked on his long -held plans to remodel the hall and rooming house into modern apartments (Iowa City Press -Citizen, November 26, 1924). Eventually the carriage house would be remodeled into apartments, as well. He had already converted the barn and stables into a heated garage by 1920 (see 1920 Sanborn map). In 1953, the former stable/garage became the home of the Iowa City Home Linen Service (Iowa City Press- Citizen, July 23, 1953). In 1958, the building was remodeled into a coin-operated laundromat that continues today (Iowa City Press -Citizen, September 3 and 4, 1958). In 1936, I.C. Nichols and his Self Serve Grocery replaced Holub's Grocery (Iowa City Press -Citizen, April 16, 1938). In 1938, William J. Holub (1892-1975), the third generation property owner, remodeled the storefront, likely creating the single central recessed entrance that is mostly extant (Iowa City Press -Citizen, February 25, 1938). The same year, Nichols remodeled the grocery store interior (Iowa City Press -Citizen, February 25, 1938). In 1953, Raymond Tweedy purchased the business and opened Tweedy's Self Serve Grocery Store (Iowa City Press Citizen, December 30, 1953). In 1960, Val and Marilyn (Holub) Skarda, the fourth generation of the Slezak/Holub family took over. The couple moved into William Holub's former home in the building, and Val Skarda became, as his obituary in 2019 stated, "the patriarch of the Holub Apartments, an Iowa City landmark" (Iowa City Press -Citizen, June 6, 1960; Iowa City Press -Citizen, May 15, 2019). Iowa Site Inventory Form State Historic Preservation Office Continuation Sheet Site Number: 52-00602 Related District Number: Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building Johnson Name of Property County 302-316 E. Bloomington and N. Linn Sts Iowa City Address City Tweedy's went out of business in 1968 (Iowa City Press -Citizen, November 29, 1969). One year later, Val Skarda remodeled the store unit into a "pizza house," and Armond Pagliai moved his Pizza Palace from 127 S. Clinton Street to 302 E. Bloomington. Around 1975, the name changed to Pagliai's Pizza, and it has been located there ever since. Gift Certificates or Ngliu'r T-shirts available $5.00 By 1981, as this advertisement shows, Pagliai's Pizza had become the familiar face of the Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building. Today, the restaurant is part of Its historic significance. source: Iowa City Press -Citizen, December 5, 1981 - Already considered a landmark by 1900, the history of the Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building was periodically the subject of the recurring feature, "A Fact A Day About FT, 77-11 Iowa City" in the Press -Citizen. Its "Narodni Sin' was an especially popular topic, �.� used as a way to talk about Iowa City's Bohemian cultural past or the "old Blind Asylum," or to reminisce generally about Iowa City's Northside neighborhood and the "good old days." During his first year writing for the Press -Citizen, Iowa City historian Irving Weber made Slezak Hall a focus of his recurring series, "How's Paghai's Pizza Your Building 10," in which he implored his readers to "Look Up!" at the upper E. Bloomington stories of the city's historic buildings. The popular history of the building appeared 302 Ph ooming3 again in Weber's book, Historical Stories About Iowa City – Volume Mcnd+,S+turd+r, a v.m.-t +•n,• 1 (1976). Weber revisited the subject again in 1981 and in 1990 to discuss historic metal roofs (Iowa City Press -Citizen, March 15, 1973; Iowa City Press -Citizen, April 18, 1981; Iowa City Press -Citizen, October 20, 1990). These remembrances of the building's history have bolstered its significance as a beloved Iowa City landmark. The additions of the Holub apartments in the former National Hall in c.1930, the Laundromat in the former stables/garage in 1958, and Pagliai's Pizza (an the Iowa City institution) in the former grocery store in 1969 have added more recent layers to the historical significance of this 149 -year-old property. The building has passed through the ownership of five generations of the same family and continues to be individually eligible for the National Register and a landmark in the Northside Neighborhood of Iowa City.

Please take extra care opening any links or attachments. ** Dear Jessica Bristow, I am writing to you and your capacity of historic preservation planner for the city of Iowa city regarding the status of 302 East Bloomington St. in Iowa city also referred to at times as the Paglia's building. Please accept these comments for the record as the historic reservation commission meets to consider the status of this nearly 150 -year-old Iowa city landmark. The Iowa city northside neighborhood is a gem in the landscape of our community with many older buildings, and establish businesses creating a zone, unlike any other in the city. As such it Serves as an economic anchor, as well as a social anchor in many many ways from the weekly musical events in the areas between oasis and brick, the venerable hamburg inn, nearby, Johns grocery and other classic Iowa city landmarks. Certainly the business business that's located at 302 East Burlington has its own iconic history. However, businesses do come and go and buildings can remain with support. I urge the placement of 302 E. Burlington on the landmark registry, and for consideration for a degree of preservation status. I would also be hopeful that the buildings owners might access some degree of city supports for the upkeep maintenance and or rehabilitation of the structure whether it be through city budget, funding, or through grant funding, supported and guided by your offices. Thank you for receiving these comments and forwarding them to the historic preservation commission. I am a lifelong resident of this community and would be deeply saddened to see this building, raised for new construction.

Seeing the pizza makers in their white paper hats throwing dough in those front windows helped me feel at home in a new place. We are all sorry to loose Pagliai's but we must preserve the building. There have already been enough new commercial developments in the location. Please vote to support the preservation of this beautiful building and neighborhood.

While I concur with many of my neighbors and friends that these structures should be preserved due to their historic architecture, I also want to make a more personal appeal. By preserving the Pagliai's building, you also will be preserving many decades of deeply held family memories. It's been the site of countess birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, first dates, alumni reunions — and plenty of ordinary but treasured pizza nights with parents, grandparents, and kids. Allowing this building to be demolished won't destroy the memories, of course. But it will destroy the opportunity to relive and renew those memories in the same cherished spot, year after year. The Pagliai's building is already a landmark in thousands of hearts in Iowa City and beyond. On Thursday, I hope you will vote to give the building the official historic landmark status it deserves.

Jessica, I have lived on the north side for over 40 years when I started attending the University. I was attracted to its historic architecture and cultural amenities and proximity to the downtown and the University. I feel that preservingthat history and character should be a priority for the North Side. "Development" rarely implies that history will be preserved and protected; very often it means that history will be erased and replaced. I sincerely hope that the City Council will approve a historic designation to preserve the Pagliai Building and not succumb to "development." As a friend of mine once said, "Money talks and big money swears!" Let's hope there's no swearing when all this is settled. I've attached an essay entitled "Keepers," that has always inspired me to respect and preserve what's most meaningful. Americans find it all too easy to throw things away, sometimes very thoughtlessly. Sincerely, Richard Blazek Thoughts about "Keepers" My grandmother even ironed Christmas ribbons they were rayon then. I grew up in the Forties and Fifties with a practical parent. My grandmother, God love her, who ironed Christmas wrapping paper and reused it and who washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then reused it. She was the original recylce queen, before they had a name for it. And for my mother, it was the time for fixing things—a curtain rod, the kitchen radio, a screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re -fixing, reheating, renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more. But then my Mother died. and I sat in my kitchen that Sunday afternoon reading her old handmade cookbook in a binder. I was struck with the pain of feeling all alone, learning that sometimes there isn't any "more." Sometimes what we car about most gets all used up and goes away ... never to return. So ... while we have it ... It's best we love it ... and care for it ...And fix it when it's broken ... and heal it when it's sick. This is true ... For marriage ... And old cars ... And children with bad report cards .. And dogs with bad hips ... And aging parents ... And grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep. Like a best friend that moved away Or A classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make life important. Like people we know who are special ... And so, we keep them close!

Please take extra care opening any links or attachments. ** Ms, Bristow, I petition "The Historical Preservation Commission" to designate the building at 302 East Bloomington a Historical Landmark. The building sits within the Dubuque Linn Corridor as described in the March 28'h 2000 National registry of Historical Places while it physically sits within the block and next to properties in the "the Original Plot of Iowa City". The building at 302 E Bloomington was constructed in 1878 and is the only building left in the area with its architectural design. Since it's construction, 302 E Bloomington served as a Hotel & Grocery store. No other building within the "Original Plot of Iowa City Area" has the same architectural features depicting that Era. 302 is as unique in design and architecture as the brewmaster Conrad Graf's home across the Street (constructed 6 years earlier in 1872), the Union Brewery Building on Linn and Market & John's Grocery on Market and Gilbert. Pagliai's Pizza has occupied 302 E Bloomington since 1957. Thus, both the building and the business are viewed by Generations of Students, Alumni, Professional's & families (both local & visiting) as an Iowa City Landmark. 302 East Bloomington is also believed to be connected to Iowa City History as part of the system of tunnels which were connected to the 3 Breweries in the Original Iowa City Plot. Sitting in the NE corner of Linn & Bloomington it may very well be connected to and a part of "The Iowa City Beer Riots of 1884 & A tale of the Iowa City Beer Mafia" depicted in S.C. Sherman's Book BEER MONEY published March 26'h, 2013. These tunnels are still under investigation and are believed to exist under the property at 302 E. Bloomington adding to the building's Historical connection to Iowa City. Without the designation of Historical Landmark 302 E Bloomington is left open to demolition which would be a grave historical mistake to the Iowa City area & "The Original Plot of Iowa City". It would be a shame to see 302 E Bloomington go the way of other historical buildings in Iowa City becoming yet another piece of lost history. The Historic City Hall & original Fire Station sat till 1965 when urban renewal arrived at the corner of Linn & Washington Streets. Now rather than a Pristine Building of History depicting a piece of the cities by gone years we have a Vacant lot. I polled 7 of my peers, only 1 knew of the "Original Plot of Iowa City". I only found out about The OPIC because of this meeting. How many others have no clue of its existence? I Please, strongly conclude and designate the building at 302 E Bloomington as the Historical Landmark it is. Respectfully, Robert M Wise 3059 Oakridge Road NE North Liberty, Iowa 320-293-0417 P.S.

Please take extra care opening any links or attachments. ** When I first came to Iowa City as a UI student in the 1970s, Pagliai's Pizza was a popular restaurant that I frequented. When I lived on the north side of Iowa City, I often walked by the building that houses Pagliai's and appreciated its architectural integrity. It felt to me like an important anchor in an historic neighborhood. I learned that in the 19th century, it had been a grocery store and tavern, with a meeting hall on the second floor for the Bohemian community on the north side of Iowa City. I learned that later in that century, a hotel was added in the back, where farmers would stay when they came to town to sell their products. The presence of that lovely brick building encouraged me to imagine what life in Iowa City was like in an earlier time. I think it's important to preserve this building, because it's a symbol of our community's heritage. If our town didn't preserve any of our historic buildings, would future generations be as aware of our history? I strongly support designating this building as a local historic landmark.

Please take extra care opening any links or attachments. ** Dear Jessica Bristow, Can you imagine losing this iconic Iowa City building? Iowa City had for 150 years a very classic and original north end mom and pop comercial and food vibe. From 1970 to 2016 the city had hundreds of iconic Iowa City locations all over town. The park where Farmer Markets let you know summer was in the air on Gilbert and Washington, and establishments (Dubuque and Burlingtin) that were seen as part of the city itself are now almost all gone. Has any of these changes improved the lives of the people in this great city? No. We took down the only true independant book store (the book shelf) for more over priced apartments. Every single change has made our excentric town into just another corporate blank face. There are enough newer buildings (built in last 25 years) that can be redeveloped. Riverside Drive, South Gilbert along the Bowery, are all lost to redevelopment. In 1869 the City of Boston lost John Hancock's house to a developer (who never actualy developed anything) Nashville TN lost President Polk's house (and had to relocate his and his wifes graves in the process) in the name of progress. Again nothing was actually developed and it laid vancant for decades until the land was put to use. The actual taven where Reigley NC was founded stood until 1969 now its a parking lot for a Marriott. Noone wanted it demolished, but busy lives prevented people from being made aware to save it. That Hotel was not the reason for it to be knocked down. A developer had big plans. Iowa city need not repeat the follies of other cities. Iowa city needs to stop trying to reinvent itself. Who and what Iowa City is with its historical locations is fine how it is. Go build some overpriced luxury apartment in Coralville, North Liberty, or University Hights. Oh and by the way I dont have any idea of who or what is threatning to tear down this building, but how close am I about a developer? Its time to take Iowa Ave from Clinton to Van Buren up to Brown street (plus other areas of Gas light district) and dedicate the whole area.

Tim I recommend that 302 East Bloomington Street, known variously as Sleazak Hall, Hollub Hall and Apartments, and Pagliais' Pizza be made a local landmark. It has been recommended eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The building is not included in a historic district. The building is significant for its associations with the Czech community in Iowa City and for Architecture. It retains a high degree of historic integrity on the exterior and is fairly unique in its design relative to other buildings from the same time period. The building holds a place in the Northside Neighborhood as a tangible link to the period of European Immigration to Iowa City in the late 19th century and featured prominently in the lives of the members of the northside Czech community. The building clearly meets the criteria to be considered for a local landmark. It is fortunate that the current owner has maintained the building with a high degree of fidelity to the original design and materials. Only a local historic designation and historic preservation overlay zoning would require review of any future modifications or demolition of the building.

Please take extra care opening any links or attachments. ** Hello, I plan on attending the Historic Preservation Commission meeting today at 5:30 to support its proposal to give Slezak Hall local historic landmark status. It's a beautiful building that's been a landmark in the Northside neighborhood for almost a century and a half. It anchors that neighborhood on its northern side, and to tear it down would diminish the beauty and historic character of the whole block. Its architectural style perfectly matches the strip of buildings on the east side of Linn St. in particular. In addition, its past use as a gathering place for the Czech community in Iowa City makes it an important monument to the diverse ethnic history of our city. The fact that for the past 67 years it's housed one of Iowa City's most popular and iconic restaurants, Pagliai's, ensures that Slezak Hall is important not simply for its age but because it continues to serve as a vital part of the business and cultural life of Iowa City. It must be preserved. I enthusiastically support designating it a local historic landmark. Thank you, Phil Beck 613 E.

As Iowa City continues to lose icons like The Mill, it also loses its personality and the essence that has drawn folks to this city for decades. Pagliai's is an institution in this city and to lose yet another important part of Iowa City history is, in my opinion, something we cannot afford to do as development and (wasteful! unattractive!) new construction begins to dominate our cityscape. Please consider designating this building as a historic landmark. It deserves this status and warrants protection from yet another greedy landlord developer. It is part of the spirit of this city, more than a restaurant or even a physical structure, but an archetype, a legend, a part of our culture.

It is an important step in protecting a building that has been a business and cultural anchor to the Northside Neighborhood for149 years. The families that have owned the building, including the current Skarda family, have been particularly careful stewards of the three-story brick building. In the early 2000s, I was a Holub Apartment resident for four years — it was a wonderful building to live in. At the time, many of the building's residents had an affiliation with the University of Iowa's writing programs. I enjoyed meeting and collaborating with Writers' Workshop faculty member Cole Swensen on book projects, and meeting visiting faculty member Joy Harjo who lived in the building one summer. There were also numerous graduate students enrolled in the same writing program. Since it was a popular place for writers to live, the building was a small cultural hub acting as an aid in the formation of life-long friendships. There are few apartment buildings in Iowa City as large and with historic character similar to this one. I hope it can receive the historic protection it deserves.

The building clearly meets the criteria to be considered for a local landmark and is not otherwise protected by a historic district. Only a local historic designation and historic preservation overlay zoning would require review of any future modifications or demolition of the building. It is the only way to ensure its contribution to Iowa City's rich past, especially that of the Czech and Slovak ethnic group, will receive extra due -process considerations before modifications or demolition would be approved in the future.

CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT March 19, 2024 Resolution fixing date for a meeting on the authorization of a loan and disbursement agreement and the issuance of not to exceed $3,322,000 Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes of the City of Iowa City, Iowa and providing for publication of notice thereof.

Staff Recommendation: Approval Commission Recommendations: N/A Attachments: Iowa City (147) - Fix Date Proceedings 2024 Sewer SRF P D Executive Summary: There is a resolution for the formal City Council meeting on March 19th that is setting a public hearing regarding the issuance of a Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Note. The hearing is being scheduled for April 2nd. This loan is for the planning and design of two projects at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. They are the Digester Complex Rehabilitation and the Digester Gas Improvements projects. Background /Analysis: The City has qualified for a 0% interim planning and design loan from Iowa Water Pollution Control Works Program (the "SRF Program") to be applied to the engineering and planning for certain projects at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Digester Complex Rehabilitation and the Digester Gas Improvements. Following the design of the projects, additional hearing(s) will be necessary to obtain borrowing authority over and above the amount covered by this hearing. This hearing will permit the City to take advantage of the 0% interim loan program, which then may be rolled into the future long-term SRF loan. The borrowing of loan funds by the City through the SRF program involves the same procedures applicable to the issuance and sale of municipal bonds generally. Although the Iowa Finance Authority (the "Authority") has agreed to make the City a loan under the terms of a Loan and Disbursement Agreement, that loan will be secured and evidenced by a Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Note that will be issued to the Authority at the time the loan is closed, which is anticipated to be approximately a year from now. The City's bond attorney, Kristin Billingsley Cooper, and the City's municipal advisor, Maggie Burger, are both assisting with the loan process. am n Items to Include on Agenda City of Iowa City, Iowa Not to Exceed $3,322,000 Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes (State of Iowa Revolving Fund Loan).

CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT March 19, 2024 Resolution setting public hearing for April 2, 2024 on the proposed property tax levy in the proposed budget ending June 30, 2025. Prepared By: Nicole Davies, Finance Director Reviewed By: Geoff Fruin, City Manager Fiscal Impact: Proposed as part of the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget. Staff Recommendation: Approval Commission Recommendations: N/A Attachments: Property Tax Levy Hearing Notice Resolution Executive Summary: The state legislature adopted new law changes regarding the annual budgeting process. Cities are now required to hold a special meeting with a public hearing on the proposed property tax levy. The proposed public hearing date is April 2, 2024 at 4 p.m. for the proposed property tax levy for the proposed fiscal year 2025 budget. Background /Analysis: In the Spring of 2023, the state legislature passed new regulations surrounding the management of the annual budget process. In addition to being adopted as part of the budget, which is subject to a public hearing, a special meeting with a public hearing on the proposed property tax levy is now required to be held prior to the adoption and public hearing for the proposed budget. The City's total proposed property tax levy rate of $15.63305 remains unchanged from the fiscal year 2024 property tax rate. However, a few of the proposed individual property tax levy rates have changed. The new legislation eliminated the Library and Emergency Levies, which were $0.27 and $0.20, respectively. These levies were added to the General Levy of $8.10 but then with the new legislation, it is reduced to $8.40196. The Tort Levy was increased $0.07 to $0.36044 and the Debt Service Levy was increased $0.09804 to $2.5765. The notice of public hearing is to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in Iowa City, not less than ten days and no more than 20 days before the public hearing, as well as published on the City's website and social media pages.
