from being used as a throughway. On January 13, 1999, the Board of

a legal agreement which requires ATI to install, maintain and operate a
suitable traffic barrier. The resolution authorizes the Mayor to sign and the

ITEM NO. 10.
CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE TITLE 9, CHAPTER 4, ENTITLED
"PARKING REGULATIONS," ARTICLE 4, ENTITLED "GENERAL PARKING
RESTRICTIONS," SECTION H, ENTITLED "IN EXCESS OF FORTY-EIGHT HOURS"
REGARDING THE STORAGE OF VEHICLES ON STREETS, ALLEYS AND PUBLIC
PROPERTY. (FIRST CONSIDERATION)
ITEM NO. 11.
Comment: Section 9-4-4H currently prohibits any vehicle from being parked or
remaining "at the same location upon any street, alley or public ground at any time for
a period longer than forty eight (48) hours." The issue has arisen as to what
constitutes "the same location." This amendment specifies that a vehicle must be
moved at least twenty feet (20') in order to comply with the ordinance. Requiring a
vehicle to be moved at least twenty feet (20') is consistent with one of the purposes
of the ordinance, which is to allow for general street cleaning and snow removal.
Action:
CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 9 OF THE CITY CODE OF IOWA CITY
ENTITLED "MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC," BY AMENDING CHAPTER 3, SECTION
6B THEREIN TO REDUCE THE SPEED LIMIT ON NAPLES AVENUE FROM THE CITY
LIMIT TO THE INTERSECTION WITH IOWA HIGHWAY 1. (FIRST CONSIDERATION)
Comment: Currently this portion of roadway does not have a posted speed limit,
which defaults to 55 mph during daylight hours and 50 mph during non-daylight
hours. As the adjacent property continues to develop and conflict points and
driveways are introduced, the existing speed limit is inappropriate. Because of sight
distance limitation, staff's recommendation is to reduce the speed limit to 35 mph.
Because Naples Avenue from the corporate limits to the intersection with Iowa
Highway 1 is under the joint jurisdiction of Iowa City and Johnson County, the speed
limit must be adopted jointly by the Iowa City City Council and the Johnson County
Board of Supervisors. The Johnson County Board of Supervisors will consider this
matter at their February 2, 1999, work session.
