FOLLOWING IS ~ BEST DOCUMENT AVAILABLE Iowa City City Council Dear City Council Members; 06/04/96 My parents, Ed and Doris (now deceased) Ipsen, have been homeowners in the 1200 block of South First Avenue for almost 50 years, currently at 1210. They have seen First Avenue go from a dirt dead end path to a heavily traveled thoroughfare. My family is concerned how the widening of First Avenue will affect all of the homeowners on First Avenue South of Muscatine Avenue. If the street is widened to a four lane road, with wide sidewalks on both sides, traffic will be almost at the front door of many of the houses. Some homes will have to be moved or destroyed. Both results will be a financial loss to all the homeowners in the area. In my parents case, both front yard trees would probably have to be removed. One has been growing there since my parents built their current residence in the early 1960s. Following through on the current plans eliminates the not so Generous front yards and the feel of a residential neighborhood. Without that neighborhood feeling, drivers may have a tendency to increase speed on this newly constructed drag strip like roadway. All of the residents on First Avenue are concerned about the safety of having traffic so close to their homes. The close proximity of the continually increasing traffic to this residential housing and junior high school area creates a potentially fatal situation. Children may attempt to cross the street between intersections, as they do now, but in a much more dangerous traffic environment. Decreasing driveway length would increase the danger of entering and exiting each residence. There would be no room for the homeowner to safely turn his/her vehicle around in front yards, as it is done now. The homeowner would be forced to back into or across four lanes of free flowing traffic. In the case of my parent's home, the cement driveway would have to be removed so that the slope into the drive could be made more gradual. Wldening the street without addressing the driveway issues could create a danger to anyone attempting to use the driveways. My family has discussed a possible solution to the hazard of increased traffic flow and widening the street might create. It is a suggestion to break up traffic congestion and enhance a safer environment for pedestrians of all ages, bicyclists, motorists and homeowners. Instead of widening First Avenue, would it be possible to convert First Avenue to a one-way street from Court Street to Lower Muscatine Avenue? Second Avenue would be used as the opposing one-way street. The City would be able to utilize two existing streets and break up the total number of cars on one street. This would eliminate the possibility of head on collisions and also reduce the flood of highly concentrated traffic. If done now, before further development is permitted on Lower Muscatine and Mall Drive, it might be easier to address potential traffic problems of First Avenue South of the railroad tracks. This proposal would extend Second Avenue across or over the railroad tracks. Second Avenue would be linked to Mall Drive This would be a benefit for the businesses along both South First Avenue and Mall Drive because traffic could enter from either side of the block. This would also decrease the chance of creating another "Coralville Strip" and all of the unsafe traffic flow problems Coralville is now forced to address. Traffic would move in one direction on either street, therefore negating a need to make left turns at any point of the block. It would also help alleviate a projected traffic hazard from left turns into the new HyVee Store North of Muscatine Avenue at First Avenue. Traffic could be reunited at either Lower Muscatine Avenue or Highway 6. Mall Drive could extend past the Sycamore Mall, making exits and entrances to the Mall readily accessible. It may also encourage businesses to move into the Mall itself. Traffic at the split at Second Avenue and Court Street could continue on Court Street or join the two way traffic North of Court Street on First Avenue. This would not increase the normal morning congestion of that area, but would decrease the number of cars entering the First Avenue and Court Street intersection. If Second Avenue were made for the northbound traffic of First Avenue, many cars would not enter the First Avenue and Court Street intersection. Drivers would be able to turn left onto Court Street, if they desired, and not impede drivers proceeding South on First Avenue. A new stop sign may be needed in this area to help persons turning left onto Court Street. with the use of Second Avenue in this manner, the City would be saving money because neither First or Second Avenue would have to be widened and safety matters would be more easily accomplished by dividing the ever increasing traffic flow. Few businesses would be negatively affected by this change and many may see the benefit to allowing easier, less dangerous, access to their stores. Also, the few businesses off Second Avenue will appreciate the higher visibility of their establishments. Please look at this suggestion and evaluate the benefits fairly. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Laureen Ipsen 2801 Highway 6 East Number 72 Iowa City, IA 52240 6/6/96 TO: Senator Grassley Senator Harkin Congressman Leach The Iowa City Council Editor, The Daily Iowan According to the headline story in the 6/6/96 Daily Iowan, "Grants from the Government Traffic Safety Bureau, rangin9 from $3,000 - $5,000, were given to the Iowa City and Coralville police departments and the UI Department of Public Safety to curb underage drinking." With the national debt somthing like $5 trillion, the Government Traffic Safety Bureau can damned well be elinimated along with the hysteria over "un- derage" drinking. Forty years ago, when I was in my teens, I would drop in The Airliner once a week for some suds and a pizza and nothing was said. But now, accord- ing to the DI, the cops are snooping around in there once a week. Either there's a shortaye of real crime or Iowa City has too many policemen. If governing bodies were really concerned about the evils of alcohol, they would make it a felony for any politician, policeman, prosecutor, or judge to consume alcoholic beverages in his term of office. Under the present setup, they're just out to harrass young people. Robert G. Dostal 326 Douglass St. Iowa City, IA 52246 Tel.: (319) 338-8789 RECEIVED JUN ~ ~, I~§B 1415 Volhey Drive Los Angeles, CA 90063 20 June 96 I am writing to you to congratulate you on your wonderful Iowa City Public Library, which I would commend to you and urge your continuing support of this facility and its staff: i lived in Iowa City for two years while I attended the University of Iowa's Writers' Workshop, and without doubt in my mind, one of the outstanding features of the Iowa City community is its public library downtown. I was able to use this library as a teacher and as a student, and my students (from both Iowa and illinois) found the public library very accessible and helpful as well. My own children loved its children's section, and made much enjoyable use of its enriching, educational video section. During my recreational time, I enjoyed a great deal of jazz by checking out numerous jazz Compact Disks; this was the first time l'd had the opportunity to check out CDs, and I learned a great deal about some world-class American music I benefited much from use of the library computers to access the World Wide Web. I always found the staff to be friendly and helpful; I might add that the facility itself was conveniently located, comfortably furbished, and always welcoming. The Iowa City Public Library is a resource which Iowa City, Johnson County and the state oflowa can be proud of. I will remember it as one of the outstanding highlights of ~ny time in Iowa. At some point during your time in tiffs area, 1 hope that you take time out to appreciate this facility and its ability to serve the community of which it is a part. It seems to me that it's a model of its kind, and I'd hope its continuing, enriching service to the community is recognized as a significant---and in some ways unique---local cultural value.

IOWA 52240-1826 · (319} ~$6-$000 · FAX I319) 3}6-5009 I want to thank the Council for responding to my request to remove the unnecessary City vehicles on weekends from Oakland Cemetery. Their absence is noticeable and is appreciated. Thank you. Tonight, I'm here to discuss the expansion of Oakland Cemetery into land akeady belonging to the City and presently being used as Hickory Hill Park. I am speaking specifically of the Gaulocher piece of land purchased with warrants issued against the Cemetery fund in 1919. This purchase was for approximately 48 acres of land. Presently, the Cemetery is using 8 acres of land and Hickory Hill Park was granted the use of the balance ( approx 39.83 A ) in 1980, with the understanding it was to be retained for future Cemetery expansion. Today there are approximately 150 usable lots let~ for sale throughout the Cemetery. Most of these lots are in the area where only flat markers are allowed. It is my understanding, very few lots remain where monuments may be used and most of these are not desirable lots. In 1979, then Parks and Recreation Director, Mr. Bob Lee, wrote a memo, stating he had consulted with Cemetery Manager, Billie Hauber, and there were at that time 700 usable burial spaces available that Ms Hauber estimated would be consumed in 7 to 10 years. Seventeen years have passed since that memo was written. I think its time for the council to revisit this issue. First, I feel a review is needed on how the land presently used as Cemetery and Hickory Hill Park was acquked. In 1919 the City purchased, out of Cemetery funds, approximately 48 acres for $12,145.00 from a Mr. Christian Gaulocher. This · would be the bulk of what is now Hickory Hill Parks wooded area. That was 76 years after the Cemetery was originally founded and demonstrates the City Fathers of that era were planning for the Cemetery's futm'e. In 1951 Claude and Mabel Woods donated/sold 40 acres for futare Cemetery use ( Some documents state the City purchased the land with cemetery bonds, but a copy of a deed I have shows the sum was for $1.00. ) In 1980, then Parks and Recreation Director, Dennis Showalter, requested and was granted permission from Mabel Woods to use the land for the North section of Hickory Hill Park. ( Mr. Showalter acquired Mabel Woods permission, prior to requesting a change from cemetery to park use, leading me to believe the land was donated or there was a prior commitment to use it as cemetery land. ) In 1967 the South portion of Hickory Hill consisting of 17.5 acres was purchased from the Irish estate using, in-part, HUD moneys. This land was dedicated as a Park. In 1980, an ordinance was proposed to combine the three pieces of land forming what todays is Hickory Hill Park. This ordinance was never enacted. Instead ,an ordinance was enacted dedicating only the North 40 acres, formerly belonging to the Woods, to Park land use. The Gaulocher 39.83 acres was loaned to the Parks to use with the provision that the land belonged to the Cemetery for future expansion. I feel that time has now arrived. Before some folks become all excited, let me state I have walked the Gaulocher land and found the North section to be extremely hilly and full of steep ravines. I feel the best use for this portion would be to continue using it as park land. The South portion of this land, that which lay immediately East of the present most Easterly fence line of the Cemetery, contains two long ridges running East. The first Park trail East of the Cemetery, running North and South in the park, lays approximately 600 feet East of the present fence line. I'm not an engineer and do not have the knowledge regarding the amount of land necessary to plan for another twenty or thirty years of burial space, but I would estimate the new Cemetery boundary would move no more than 400 feet East down the ridge lines. This would place the Cemetery boundary 100-200 feet from the present N/S Park trail. Filling in the ravine between the two ridges would provide the Cemetery a large expansion area. If the Park Commission felt this 100-200 foot wooded buffer zone was not sufficient for park needs, it would cost very little to re-route the trail Eastward around the end of the ridge. This Cemetery/Park boundary change would still leave approximately 35 acres for Park use.. And, to those citizens who are advocates for Hickory Hill Park, 1 fully realize having a wooded hiking park that encompasses an area the size of Hickory Hill Park and have it located in the middle of a town the size of Iowa City is very unique; but cities also need cemeteries, as we all someday will pass away. Those of us that are native to Iowa City are entitled to a City Cemetery as much as those who advocate for parks are entitled to a City Park. Like Hickory Hill Park, Oakland Cemetery is also a very unique Cemetery. It was founded in 1843 and serves as the final resting place for military personnel from every war fought by this country during the past 153 years. It is also the final resting place for former Iowa Governors and Presidents of the University. But most important, this cemetery is the fmal resting place for many generations oflowa City families. Families who lived their lives here, contributed to this City, and made it what it is today. Their children and their grandchildren deserve to have a burial place in a City Cemetery as their forefathers had. It just seems to me, we can have both an enlarged Cemetery and keep the trail section of Hickory Hill Park. There is no need to purchase land elsewhere for the Park or the Cemetery, for the City already has sufficient land to serve both needs. These two types of land use, Cemetery and Park, should be very compatible There is no need for either side, of the land use issue, to berate the other. But the bottom line is the Gaulocher land, as it stands today, is the Cemetery's to expand. I also realize that several members of the present Council previously served on the Park Commission. Serving in your present position, I would hope you would view this expansion request from a different perspective than you would have viewed it while serving on the Commission. For the benefit of the comm,mity, please allow common sense to prevail on this issue. Do what is needed, keeping in 'mi~d all~ segments of the community need to be served.
