MEMORANDUM
Date;
January 26, 1996
To:
Planning and Zoning Commission
From:
Scott Kugler, Associate Planner
Re;
Amendments to the I-1 Recycling Processing Facility Regulations.
The recycling processing facility amendments that were recently recommended by the
Commission are currently being considered by City Council, However, City Carton Co. has
raised some objections to the proposed ordinance as it is written. They contend that many
of the provisions of the ordinance would be difficult to meet on their site, and that due to
market changes, the way some materials must be stored and processed are not consistent
with some of the standards being proposed. It appears that the ordinance could be amended
to address City Cartoh's concerns without greatly compromising the intent of the ordinance.
A copy of the proposed ordinance as ~t is currently drafted is attached. Staff will be
proposing to City Council at its January 30 meeting that the ordinance be adopted as drafted,
and that the amendments recommended in this memorandum be considered as a follow-up
ordinance addressing some of the concerns of City Carton, Co.
The main area of concern for City Carton deals with restrictions on the storage of rec¥clable
materials. While the existing operation on the property could continue on into the future as
a non-conforming use should the proposed amendments be adopted, any future expansion or
replacement of a building that is destroyed would require compliance with the new
regulations. Currently, City Carton stores much of its glass, tin cans, and baled corrugated
cardboard and plastic outdoors for various reasons. They would find it difficult to comply
with the restriction on outdoor storage. They also have concerns about screening
requirements from public streets because Benton Street, which runs through the center of
their property, is elevated, causing difficulties in effectively screening the view of its facilities.
The requirement for indoor storage was originally proposed due to two concerns; the control
of litter and the appearance of the outdoor storage areas in the I-1 zone. The control of litter
is a potential problem when dealing with some materials such as paper, and less so with
others such as glass or baled corrugated cardboard. The aesthetic concerns were mainly in
association with the BDI industrial park, but may also be a concern in other I-1 areas, Staff
recommends that the approval of outdoor storage areas for recyclable materials be reviewed
and approved on a case-by-case basis by special exception in order to ensure the appropriate
location and design of the storage areas.
As the ordinance is currently drafted, outdoor storage of recyclable materials could only be
approved as a special exception similar to tire and appliance storage. However, the standards
contained in the ordinance for a special exception approved under this category are tailored
for tire and appliance storage. The 1,500 square foot restriction on the storage area, for
~nstance, would be inadequate for a large scale recycling operation such as City Carton.
However, staff would not recommend relaxing the standards for tire and appliance storage.
Therefore, staff recommends that if the outdoor storage of recyclable materials is provided
for, that it be handled separately from the tire and appliance storage provisions.
2
Staff recommends that outdoor storage of recyclable materials be addressed by special
exception, but distinguished from tire and appliance storage. This would allow a mechanism
by which outdoor storage areas can be approved on a case by case basis where the Board of
Adjustment feels they are appropriate, with provisions ensuring that litter control is addressed.
The screening requirements for outdoor storage contained in Article S, Performance
Standards, would also be referenced. These screening provisions apply to all outdoor storage
areas for industrial uses. Proposed text for a separate special exception for outdoor storage
of certain recyclable materials is listed below.
14-6H-1: GENERAL INDUSTRIAL ZONE (I-1):
D. Special Exceptions:
5. Outdoor storage of recyclable materials, not including tires or appliances, as an
accessory use to a recycling processing facility, provided:
a. Paper products, cardboard, plastic, and other similar materials shall be
processed by baling, pelletizing, or other means to control the spread of litter; and
b. Outdoor storage of unprocessed materials shall be limited to glass, metal,
or other materials that are not easily dispersed by wind, provided that they am located
in a container or structure designed to control the spread of litter and debris; and
c. Outdoor storage shall be limited to those materials that are intended for
reuse, remanufacture, or reconstitution, and not for final disposal in a landfill, by
incineration, or by other means; and
d. Plans for controlling the spread of litter and debris may be required prior to
the approval of the outdoor storage area.
e. Screening of outdoor storage areas shall be provided as required by Article
S of this Chapter.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the proposed amendments to the I-1 zone to allow the outdoor storage
of recyclable materials as an accessory use to a recycling processing facility by special
exception be approved.

MEMORANDUM
Date:
February 1, 1996
To:
Planning & Zoning Commission
From:
Robert Miklo, Senior Planner
John Yapp, Planning Intern
Re:
Model Home and Real Estate Sales Center as a Provisional Use
Recently Midland Homes, Inc. requested permission to install a combination model home and
sales center in one of their speculative homes in South Pointe, a subdivision at the southern
boundary of Iowa City (see attached letters.) Currently, our zoning ordinance does not allow
sales centers in residential zones. A phone survey of other Iowa municipalities has revealed that
some communities allow model homes and sales centers as a temporary use, even when that
use is not spelled out in the ordinance. One community surveyed, Ankeny, Iowa, specifically
mentioned a real estate office as a temporary use allowed in residential zones, terminating upon
completion or abandonment of the project. The Zoninq Report indicates that nationally, many
zoning ordinances allow model homes and sales centers, but also include requirements designed
to minimize the effects that such uses may have on surrounding residential neighborhoods. The
following proposed amendment is based on information contained in the October 18, 1991 and
January 22, 1993 editions of The Zoning Repod, and comments from planning staff in other cities.
Staff feels that it would be reasonable to amend the City Code to define and allow for a combina-
tion model home & sales center as a provisional use in residential zones. Model homes and on-
site sales centers are incidental to and facilitate the sale of speculative homes in residential
areas. Staff feels that there should not be a limit to the number of model homes or model units
in any development, but there should only be one sales center in each development.
As proposed on Exhibit A (attached), the definition of a sales center allows the use of a dwelling
unit within the development for use as a real estate office for the same development, but not for
any other developments or properties. The use of an on-site real estate sales center is limited
to a model home which will eventually become a dwelling unit when the sales center is closed.
This definition does not allow offices in temporary structures within the subdivision, such as a
mobile office. This restriction will help to preserve the residential character of the development
after some households have moved in, and the remainder is being sold.
One possible negative side effect of allowing sales centers in residential areas would be traffic
to and from the sales center. This may be minimized by restricting the number of employees
allowed in the sales center to those directly involved in the showing and selling of units within the
same development, and by prohibiting the use of a model home as a sales center after 90% of
the units in the development have sold. The above two restrictions will also help to prevent the
sales center from becoming anything more than a temporary real estate office for the correspond-
ing development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the zoning ordinance be amended to include definitions of MODEL DWELLING
UNIT and REAL ESTATE SALES CENTER, and that Model Dwelling Units and Real Estate Sales
Centers be allowed as a provisional use in all RS, single-family; RM, multi-family; and RFBH,
factory-built housing zones, subject to requirements in Article L.

Dear Mr. Grob:
In response to your letter regarding the provision of a model homes/sales center in your iowa
City subdivision, I want to let you know that we have begun the process to amend our Zoning
Ordinance to permit such uses in single-family residential zones. We expect to bring a text
amendment to our Planning and Zoning Commission by February 1, which should result in
passage of this ordinance by the City Council before the first of April.
We do not find any particular problem with this kind of use within a single-family residential
zone and, therefore, will support this amendment as it goes through the process. We have
not provided for such a use since speculative housing has not been built in Iowa City in some
time. I hope that this has not caused undue delay in your ability to market your homes in
Southpointe. Please feel free to contact me at 356-5232 if you have any questions about the
ordinance amendment, the process, or the timing.

Re: Real Estate Sales Centers
The Home Builders Association of Iowa City would like to thank you and the Iowa City
Planning Department for responding to a request from one of our members, Midland
Homes, Inc., addressing the need and allowance of Sales Centers in a new residential
area. We would like to go on record as supporting the proposed amendment we
received dated January 4, 1996, attached to a memorandum from John Yapp. We do
however, suggest omitting 14-6L-1 R.1. as proposed.
Based on Mr. Yapp's memo, the purpose of this 90% requirement is to prevent or
reduce negative side effects of traffic in a residential area. It can be documented by
observing Sales Centers in other areas that the percentage of a developed subdivision, be
it 10% or 99% developed, has very little, if any, impact on the amount of traffic in a new
subdivision. We strongly recommend presenting the remainder of the proposal as
written to the Planning and Zoning Commission for passage.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely
~esi~

To:
Planning and Zoning Commission
From:
Charles Denhey, Associate Planner
Re:
REZ96-0001, D&L Subdivision, Highway I and Sunset Street
In February of 1993 the City annexed and rezoned the subject property, referred to as the Dane tract,
from County C-2, Commemial and A-l, Rural, to C1-1, Intensive Commemlal. The rezoning was
subject to a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA) which specified infrastructure improvements and
design requirements for development of the site. The CZA contained a condition requiring an internal
cimulation drive for the property that would provide access to any development on the site, as well as
access to property located to the north and south of the site. This condition was included to assure
that lots with direct access to Highway 1 would be minimized. The applicant, Dave Larson, is
requesting the CZA be amended to eliminate the requirement to provide access to property to the
south.
At the time the Dane tract was rezoned the status of the Iowa City Municipal Airport was being
discussed. it was not clear at that time whether the airport would remain in its current location. If the
airport was to move the property south of the Dane Tract would likely be developed, and providing
access between the two parcels was viewed as being important.
Subsequent to the approval of the rezonmg a decision to keep the airport In its present location has
been made. Because of this decision, development of the parcel south of D&L Subdivision is not
feasible. The applicant has also indicated that Lots 3 and 4 will be developed as one property. For
these reasons the applicant is requesting that the requirement to provide access to the south be
eliminated.
Staff feels that approval of the request is appropriate. Access to the south is no longer needed so the
requirement should be deleted. If the requested amendment is approved the applicant will need to
amend the final plat to eliminate the access easement across Lot 4 and an amendment to the legal
papers releasing the easement will need to be recorded. Both of these tasks can be completed
administratively and do not require action by either the Planning and Zoning Commission.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the proposed amendment to the Conditional Zoning Agreement for the D&L
Subdivision to eliminate the requirement to provide access to property to the south be approved.

Re: Request for expedited consideration for the approval to amend the Conditional Zoning

Dear Council Members:
We are asking for the City Council to consider expedited consideration to amend the Conditional
Zoning Agreement to eliminate the requirement to continue the access road to the south.
Due to alterations in the March meeting schedule, and the minor nature of this proposal we hope
the schedule for adoption can be shortened as much as is allowed by law.
The owner John Dane has entered into a purchase agreement for the sale of the two lots involved.
The buyer of the lots would like to begin construction as soon as possible. All parties involved
would appreciate cooperation in finalizing the transaction.
The Planning and Zoning Commission is recommending the approval of the amended Conditional
Zoning Agreement and has sent it to you for adoption. Ifthere are any questions please feel free
to call me.
On behalf of John Dane and myself, we want to thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Alternatives to proposed
Transit service cuts
2/26/96
The following pages contain ideas on how to trim the
budget without any change to service. There are many
more ideas of how to meet our budget short fall without
cutting service, therefore I would be glad to sit down with
any of you and talk about creative change that would not
only save transit from extinction, but rather have it
thriving in the near future. ! hope that you do what is right
for the sake of the citizens of iowa City, and the great
service provided to them by iowa City Transit. If you go
ahead with any major service cutbacks/changes it will be
the beginning of the end. I would hope that if you do cut
back service you will also get rid of excess management.
In the past management has went up while service has
went down. ( I can't remember the scientist full name, but
it is Herbert or Hubert, anyway he predicts we will be out
of fossil fuels sometime around the year 2020, you need
to keep this in mind). I would appreciate some form of
feedback on the ideas contained within these pages, how
you consider them, and any comments you have, please
reply back to me thank you.
Proposal 1 A.M. Management- Currently, am. supervisor opens at 5:30 am and stays
until 2:00pro The transit manager arrives at 8:00am and stays until 5:00pm, as does the
director The shop supervisor is also at work from 7am and stays until 3:30 pro, while the
PM supervisor comes in at 2pm and stays until 11:00pro. as you can see, we have an
overabundance of management, wlfich accounts for almost a quarter of a million
dollars. I Would have the manager open up at 5:30 and work until 2'30., thereby
eliminating one of the redundant administrative positions. This is what we have done in
the past and feel this is a very efficient way to operate transit at the present time. By
doing this we could reduce the budget by $40,000 PLUS.
Proposal 2. P.M. Management- Since we recently merged or integrated parking and
transit into one division I propose we use the management from parking and transit
together to become more cost effective and efficient, this could be done by using
management from parking or transit to manage both divisions after 7:00 p.m. Since the
managers/supervisors at both divisions know transit procedures, this proposal would not
be difficult to implement: We do this now on a regular if limited basis, Fridav's from
2:00 to 11:00 o.m. without difficulty. By using the management in this way we can save
taxpayers money and use the savings for betterment of the system, and to help with the
budget cutbacks. This would save at least $10,000.00 PLUS possibly more
depending on how we use it Another alternative is to manage transit and parking with
one manager from 2:30pm until 11:00 SAVING THE CITY $25,000.00 PLUS
Proposal 3. Shop Supervisor- Some of the decisions in the past years, have I feel
bloated the budget unnecessarily. Case in point is the creation of the position of shop
supervisor. This position was recently created. I feel that the oosition is eroundless
and recommend doin~ away' with the shoo supervisor. Since the City already pays a
lead mechanic, and a senior mechanic, I feel that the position of shop supervisor is
excessive. How many pairs of hands does a bolt have to pass through before it is installed
in the bus. I feel that we are not a large enough system to have this many levels of
supervision. By eliminating the shop supervisor we could save $40,000 to $50,000.
The paper work and other miscellaneous work that the super does could easily be handled
by the full time parts clerk in addition to her usual duties. Currently, the shop supervisor
has no mechanical duties and the mechanics fill out their own paperwork.
Proposal 4. Transit safety supervisor- This is another example of the creation of a
new position which put tremendous and unwarranted inflationary pressure on transits
payroll. The drivers do most of the training now for the new drivers, so we could easily
integrate the first 2 or 3 days of training Monk does, in with existing drivers we have now.
This is how Monk Leonard safety super trains new drivers Trainee starts driving coach
around parking lot and eventually out on the street with empty bus, this usually last about
2 or 3 days. Then the tralnee is turned over to the regular bus drivers to finish training for
the next 6 or 7 days or till they are comfortable with the routes at which time they start
driving on their own. We could easily integrate this into a senior driver doing all of
the training of the new drivers. Any additional duties of the supervisor could be
performed by current personnel. In the office there would be Ron, Joe,
Jenny(transit clerk), Linda ( parts clerk), and on call drivers. If needed, we could
make Jennies position full-time or hire another clerk at a big savings over
management wages. After all, I see no reason to have expensive managers, doing
clerical work. Savin~ $ 20,000 to 40,000.00 +
Proposal 5. Saturday ~nanagement - can be reduced or integrated with parking
Structure on Saturday could go like this: Transit/parking management could open up 5:30
to 7:30, then let the office be handled by the on-call until pm on~call comes in at 1:30,
there are lots of possible ideas for savings and efficient operation. Savings $15,000 to
20,000.00 depending on what structure we decide on.
Proposal 6. Parking/Transit director - Need I say more: Another newly created
position that is redundant, wasteful, and serves no other purpose, than to inflate the
budget. Savin!~s $30,000.00 oius benefits IWe would be much hat0Dier if
oarldn~ could be oersuaded to oar for this oosifion in full}, and we won't
even charge rent for the office sgace.
Proposal 7 OVERTIME, Seems that Ron got the message on this one. The increase in
O.T. the past year comes from lack of management, and alone is to blame for the huge
increase from the previous year. They wasted somewhere around $20,000 to $25,000
and should be held accountable, seems as though they were trying to run the o!ace
in the ~round. Total overtime amounted to over $40,000.00.
Suggestions for improving
overall performance
In order to implement the cost saving proposals listed above, several in house
changes need to be made: (A) in reducing excess management during
evening hours of operation, the potential arises that personnel on the night
crew at transit maybe called upon to perform emergency bus switches. All
night crew members should be required to have a CDL .This would allow a
limited management more flexibility. (B) Because most of the phone calls to
transit are merely a request for route information and because the frequency
of these calls requires the full-time attention of a supervisor, the purchase and
employment of an automated phone system as originally envisioned by John
Luridell would not only be appropriate but essential in a limited management
environment. (C) Carefully modified route changes could put an end to
certain tendencies toward over staffing by eliminating the frequent use of
adding a second bus or van to a route due to u'ain and traffic delays. These
delays are recurrent predictable and unnecessary. With a little planning and
foresight these problems could be corrected immediately. (I)) Management
at SEATS and Transit could be merged into one very easily, we have the
management, dispatch, and maintenance, capacity in place to handle the
extra demand. However we need to make sure we operate it with
efficiency and not for an excuse to bulge management and waste money.
If we really want to keep service at Iowa City Transit at it's present
level, then we need to look at a complete array of options, not just the very
few uncreafive ideas proposed by Transit officials. Management is so out of
tune with how the system works and the needs of the public: an example of
this: just the other day Ron was downtown looking for a 4:15 towncrest bus
which does not exist, the Towncrest Bus leaves on the hour and on the half
hour, this is just plain neglect for him not to know the system any better than
this after 2 years. I have never had him or Joe on my bus to see the system in
action first hand nor have I heard of it from any other bus driver. ! feel that
to make the proper changes to the system a person needs to know every
aspect of it, and how every section works with the other. There are many
creative ideas and solutions to the problems we face at Transit. My ideas
would save the taxpayers/citizens thousands of dollars and they wouldn't see
any changes in service. The ideas/proposals presented by management asked
the citizens to continue to fund waste at the current level or more and take a
decrease in service this is a double whammy to the commtmity. I think that if
you were to ask the community if they would like to have managers sitting in
the office or drivers driving routes and workers being productive that they
would choose the latter. We need management but we don't need a glut of
it. We need to find the ultimate equilibrium to take transit into the next
century. l am told that we use to be the most or one of the most efficient
transit systems in the nation, I would lfl~e to see us as a team strive again for
this goal. We need to work on increasing ridership, this can be accomplished
in many ways I have several ideas on where to start so just let me know how
I can help. By implementing these ideas and approaching our problems head
on we can meet this goal and surpass it. We can be, not only good but
GREA. T.

February 22, 1996
Dear Council Members;
For nine of the past ten years, the CVB has provided grant funding to local organizations. In
order to continue that tradition, we require and hereby request an unencurnbea~l 25% of the
hotel tax. In your budget deliberations, please consider the following:
Over 57 organizations have benefited from the Convention and Visitors Bureau's grant
program since 1986. Of those, the original ArtsFest and Iowa Arts Festival have received
over $5,000 and the Jazz Festival more than $2,000. Other red,lents include Riverside
Theater, the Iowa City Council for International Visitors, Iowa City Hospice Races, Iowa
City Swim Club, Iowa City/Johnson County Arts Council, Iowa Special Olympics, Retired
Federal Employees Association, National Medical Student Assodation, Systems Unlimited,
Friday Night Concert Series, Eulenspeigel Puppet theater and many, many more, totaling
awards of more than $55,000.
In an effort to provide the most effective return on the city's investment in tourism through
the CVB, the bureau's grant criteria has always favored events that draw visitors to the
area; especially visitors that are likely to spend the night in our hotels.
As the popularity of our program grew, we Increased the limit of the program and found it
necessary to further refine the criteria. (In one of the last years we awarded funds, we had
requests for over $46,000.) We think you'll find the elements of our refined grant program in
keeping with the needs of both the city to fund special events and the bureau to enhance
area visitorship.
This grant program, coupled with our $14,000 No-Interest Loan Fund already in place, can
provide resources above and beyond those of any CVB in the state of Iowa. In fact, of the 8
bureaus that administer grants, all receive over 50% of their city's hotel tax, and none
award monies in excess of $10,000 per year. -
Our $14,000 No-Interest Loan Fund was used last summer for the up-front costs of hosting
RAGBRAI, and promptly repaid at the completion of the event.
Please understand: while we support the two festivals you have designated for the receipt
of the monies we would administer in our grant program, we feel it is unfair to the nume~us
smaller and very worthy organizations which become automatically eliminated from any
chance of local' support.
Very Sincerely,
President, CVB Board of Directors
