BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicants, Gerald and Pauline Milder & Kenneth and Neana Saylor, are requesting
approval of a preliminary plat and a final plat for Milder Meadows, a Resubdivision of Lot 1 of
Milder's Subdivision and Auditor's Parcel B in the West Y2 of Section 17-T79N-R5W of the 5th
P.M. Johnson County, Iowa, a 47.69 acre, three lot residential subdivision with one
agricultural outlot. The Milders currently own all the land in the proposed subdivision, except
for Lot 1, Milder's Subdivision, a 4.29-acre parcel owned by Kenneth and Neana Saylor. An
existing residence is located on each of the three lots. Lots 1 (1.97 acres) and 2 (1 acre) of
the proposed subdivision were recently rezoned from A1 (Rural) to RS (Suburban Residential),
and Lot 3 (5.89 acres) is zoned entirely A1 and includes Lot 1, Milder's Subdivision, which
was created as part of a 1982 farmstead split. Outlot A is 38.83 acres in size and is
designated on the plat to be used for agricultural purposes only.
The application now being proposed to the Planning and Zoning Commission is an
amendment to the preliminary and final plat for Milder Meadows, a two-lot residential
subdivision with one agricultural outlot, which was recommended for approval by the
Commission on March 18, 1999. The plat was never acted upon by the City Council,
because the Milders were not able to secure an off-site access easement agreement from
adjoining property owners. The current subdivision proposal is apparently an acceptable
compromise to the parties concerned. In exchange for increasing the size of the Saylors' lot
by adding approximately two acres of property from the farm field on the north side of their
lot, an access easement of a little more than one-half acre (.55 acre) will be secured within
the subdivision.
ANALYSIS:
Fringe Area Policy. The Milder/Saylor properties are situated within the two-mile
extraterritorial area (Fringe Area B) east of Iowa City that is governed by the Johnson
County/Iowa City Fringe Area Agreement. The Fringe Area Agreement provides that land
outside of the City's growth area in Fringe Area B must conform to Rural Design Standards.
The 40-foot wide farm lane easement does not meet the rural design standards for streets,
but should be sufficient to serve as a private drive for the primarily agricultural use of this
property. The Fringe Area Agreement also specifies that agricultural uses are preferred on
land that is located outside the City's projected growth area. To be consistent with that
policy, the nearly 40 acres of land in Outlot A, which has a high Corn Suitability Rating
(CSR), should be maintained as agricultural land. To that end, a restrictive covenant should
be made part of the legal papers for this subdivision to limit the use of Outlot A to agricultural
purposes. Both the preliminary plat and the final plat contain a notation that "Outlot A is to
be used for agricultural purposes only."
Conformance with Subdivision Regulations. The subdivision is a minor one. The existing
situation will remain as it is: three residential lots and a farm field. No grading is required. No
changes in utilities, access points or in the intensity or type of use will take place as a result
of the proposed subdivision. The proposed preliminary plat and the final plat are in general
conformance with the City's subdivision regulations. The plats have been reviewed by Public
Works, and the deficiencies and discrepancies noted by staff have been resolved. The only
legal papers required by the City for this subdivision include an access and utility easement
agreement and a covenant restricting the use of Outlot A to agricultural purposes only.
These papers must be submitted to the City Attorney's Office for review and approval.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB99-0003, a preliminary plat and final plat of Milder Meadows, a
Resubdivision of Lot 1 of Milder's Subdivision and Auditor's Parcel B in the West Y2 of
Section 17-T79N-R5W of the 5th P.M., Johnson County, Iowa, be approved, subject to
review and approval of an access and utility easement agreement and a convenant restricting
the use of Outlot A to agricultural purposes.

Re:
Cost Estimate for Construction Observation and Testing Services
Proposed Iowa Avenue Multi-Use Parking Facility
Iowa City, Iowa
Proposal No, P99168A
Dear Mr. Winstead:
Terracon would be pleased to assist the City of Iowa City by providing observation and
testing services during construction of the Iowa Avenue Multi-Use Parking Facility. As you
are aware, Terracon provided foundation, floor slab and pavement, and general site
preparation recommendations for this project, as described in our Geotechnical Engineering
Report dated November 19, 1998 (Job No. 06985073.01). This cost estimate addresses
construction testing and observation services for auger cast pile installation, concrete field
and laboratory testing, post tensioning of concrete deck slabs, field and laboratory testing of
soil backfill, structural steel, and masonry work. In addition, we plan to check floor flatness,
perform visual inspection of subsurface drainage and firestopping material. We are familiar
with the proposed development and have worked closely with the architect during our
subsurface exploration.
We understand the structure will be six stories with a lower level that is partially below grade.
The building will be supported on auger-cast piles. The structure will consist of cast-in-place
concrete with post-tensioning of deck slabs. There is also a limited amount of structural steel
in the clock tower portion of the facility. We have reviewed a set of plans and project
specifications and have discussed a general schedule with Mr. Mike Hahn and Mr. Scott
Wiley of McComas-Lacina Construction, Mr. Ken Pippin of Blackhawk Foundations, and Mr.
Don Pasker of Seedorff Masonry.
We believe we have an excellent team of engineering technicians with significant experience
in performing observation and testing services on structural steel and concrete buildings. Mr.
Tom Salm has over 25 years experience in the construction testing services and will be
responsible for the day to day coordination of the field testing services you will require. Mr.
Jeff Evans has over 15 years experience and will be performing the auger-cast pile
observation and testing as well as the specialty testing such as structural steel, concrete
deck post-tensioning, and masonry testing. We also have other well-qualified personnel such
as Mr. Rick Lockhart and Mr. Dave Cleary who will be available if needed. Resumes that
include an outline of the background and experience for these individuals are enclosed for
your review.

Our services during observation and testing of the auger-cast piles will be provided on a full-
time basis, while our other services would be provided on a part-time, as-needed basis. We
anticipate coordinating our services with Neumann Monson's on-site personnel and the
contractor's quality control personnel. We will accommodate short-notice requests, but
request a day notice be given prior to our services. For part-time services, scheduling
personnel will be on an as-available basis which may require changes'of personnel assigned
to the project; however, an effort will be made to assign the most cost effective personnel to
your project. Specialty testing (post-tensioning, structural steel) will only be performed by a
senior engineering technician.
We have attached a cost estimate based on the time estimates from our discussions with the
various contractors. Based on the enclosed budget estimate, we believe we can complete
these services at a cost estimate between $130,000 and $155,000. Our invoice will reflect
the actual quantity of work performed, and our fee could vary depending upon the
contractor's schedule and performance. Thus, the enclosed estimate should not be
considered a not-to-exceed fee. It should be noted that some of the outlined work could also
be performed concurrently; thereby, reducing the number of trips and time spent traveling to
and from the site. We understand the construction will entail two phases, which will affect the
project scheduling. Our invoice will be sent to your attention at the above address.
We look forward to working with you on this phase of the project. If you have any questions
regarding this letter or would like to discuss this cost estimate or amend the scope of
services, please contact us.
Sincerely,

SECTION 1:
SELECTION CRITERIA FOR THE NEAR SOUTHSIDE CBD
URBAN REVITALIZATION AREA
CODE OF IOWA CRITERIA
Under the Urban Revitalization Act of the State of Iowa, the City is granted the authority to
designate portions of the City, which meet the specified criteria as revitalization areas.
Accordingly, on July 13, 1999 the Iowa City City Council adopted a resolution finding that
the proposed Central Business District Urban Revitalization Area meets the criteria of Section
404.1 (4) of the Code of Iowa (1999), namely that the rehabilitation, conservation,
redevelopmerit, economic development or a combination thereof is necessary in the interests
of the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City.
Section 404.1 (4), Code of Iowa (hereafter "Code,") specifically states that the City may
designate an area of the City a revitalization area if that area is "an area which is appropriate
as an economic development area as defined in section 403.17." Section 403.17, Code
defines an economic development area as "'an area of a municipality designated by the local
governing body as appropriate for commercial and industrial enterprises or housing and
residential development for low and moderate income families, including single or multifamily
housing."' The Code also states that the City may designate an area of the City a
revitalization area if that area is "an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements which by reason of age, history, architecture or significance should be
preserved or restored to productive use."
CITY OF IOWA CITY POLICY CRITERIA
In December of 1997, the Iowa City City Council adopted the 1997 Iowa City
Comprehensive Plan, which is a statement of goals and policies of the community. The
Comprehensive Plan identifies five economic well-being goals, including one that states that
the community should "improve the environmental and economic health of the community
through the efficient use of resources". Under this goal the Plan identifies two strategies to
use to achieve this goal. They include (1) encourage commercial activity to take place in
existing core areas or neighborhood commercial centers; discourage the proliferation of new
major commercial areas and (2) continue and enhance downtown revitalization. The
Comprehensive Plan also suggests consideration of financial incentives and programs to
facilitate achieving the economic well-being goals.
Based on the City Council's intent, the properties set out in Addendum 1 are hereby
designated as appropriate commercial uses for urban revitalization purposes, and are hereby
declared to be included in the Central Business District Urban Revitalization Area (hereafter
"CBD Area"), and said properties are further declared to be within this Central Business
District Urban Revitalization Plan (hereafter "CBD Revitalization Plan").
The following historic or architecturally significant structures in the CBD Area are on the
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or designated as an Iowa City Historic Landmark
(ICHL):
· Franklin Printing House - 115 S. Dubuque c. 1856 (both NRHP and ICHL)
· First Congregational Church - 30 N. Clinton c. 1869 (both)
· Trinity Episcopal Church - 320 E. College c. 1871 (both)
· George Van Patten House - 9 S. Linn c. 1873 (both)

College Block Building - 127 E. College c. 1883 (both)
· Boerner-Fry Co Building (Davis Hotel) - 332 E. Washington c. 1900 (NRHP)
· Paul-Helen Building - 207-215 E. Washington c. 1910 (both)
· Old Post Office (Senior Center) ~ 27 S. Linn (NRHP)
The proposed CBD Area contains a predominance of buildings or improvements which by
reason of age, history, architecture, or significance should be preserved or restored to
productive use. The Historic Preservation Commission is in the process of surveying
properties within the CBD Area to determine if the area contains additional historic landmarks
or if the entire central business district should be designated a historic district. Additional
designations of historic structures may be made in the future. The adopted Iowa City
Historic Preservation Plan promotes the use of local economic incentives, including property
tax exemption, to preserve or restore buildings such as these.
CBD URBAN REVITALIZATION PLAN OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of this CBD Urban Revitalization Plan is to encourage the revitalization
of commercial activity in and the reuse of historic and architecturally significant structures in
the CBD Area. The City of Iowa City has recently made a substantial investment in the
downtown Iowa City to ensure the continued vitality of this center of the community. This
investment was made in response to aging and dilapidating infrastructure and a concern for
the economic health of downtown in the face of significant growth in suburban retail
markets. In a citizen based Downtown Strategy and Action Plan endorsed by the City
Council in 19997, public sector and private sector partnerships are encouraged to address the
revitalization of downtown. The granting of property tax exemption on the added value of
private improvements is one such partnership and will provide an incentive to property
owners and business tenants to reinvest in non-residential commercial activities in the
downtown area either in the form of rehabilitations, additions, or new construction.
Though the zoning ordinance permits commercial residential uses within the CBD Area, the
City Council has determined that encouragement of "commercial residential development" is
not needed in the CBD Area. The Council finds that the market, itself, drives the
attractiveness of this area for high-density residential uses. The Council further finds that the
use of financial incentives, such as property tax exemption, is necessary to encourage the
development of high density non-reSidential commercial uses in the core area of the
community.
Consequently, the primary objective of this CBD Revitalization Plan is to encourage the
revitalization and redevelopment of the CBD Area for commercial uses other than commercial
residential uses, and to encourage the reuse of historic and architecturally significant
structures in the CI3D Area. To achieve these objectives, the City of Iowa City shall
undertake the urban revitalization activities as specified in this CBD Revitalization Plan,
pursuant to the powers granted to the City under Chapter 404, Code of Iowa (1999).

Urban Revitalization Plan
PROPOSALS FOR IMPROVING OR EXPANDING CITY SERVICES
The City Council has evaluated whether a need exists for improving or expanding city
services within the CBD Area including, but not limited to, transportation facilities, sanitary
sewer, solid waste collection, street maintenance, park facilities, and police and fire
protection. To this end, the City Council hereby identifies the following improvements that
would enhance redevelopment and revitalization of said CBD Area.
· Downtown Streetscape Improvements
· Iowa Avenue Streetscape Improvements
· Iowa Avenue Multi-Use Parking Facility
· New and Expanded Destination
· Transit Facility Interchange
· Improved Maintenance & Security
· Additional Year-Round Activities, such as weekly concerts and annual festivals.
APPLICABILITY OF THE PLAN
Land Uses
This CBD Revitalization Plan is applicable to all qualified real estate assessed as commercial
property. Only the non-residential commercial component of the property qualifies for
property tax exemption. However, any reuse of a historic structure assessed as residential,
residential commercial, or non-residential commercial property shall be considered qualified
real estate.
Types of Construction Eligible
Eligible construction includes rehabilitation and additions to existing property and new
construction for all property defined as qualified real estate herein. In order for the
rehabilitation, additions, or new construction to qualify for property tax exemption, said
rehabilitation, additions, or new construction must begin after adoption of this CBD
Revitalization Plan and the corresponding Ordinance. New construction that requires the
demolition of structures identified in this CBD Revitalization Plan as historic and/or
architecturally significant is not eligible for property tax exemption.
All rehabilitation to historic or architecturally significant structures shall be done in such a
manner as to preserve or restore any historic structure to productive use in order to be
eligible. The guidelines for determining if rehabilitation does preserve or restore the structure
shall be those set forth in the 1990 revised edition of the Secretary of Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. All additions to historically
or architecturally significant structures shall be developed in such a manner as to be
architecturally compatible with existing development. Plans and specifications for proposed
exterior renovation must be submitted to the Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission for
review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit in order for the improvements to
qualify for property tax exemption.
The design for all rehabilitation, additions, and new construction of non-historic structures
must be submitted to the Iowa City Design Review Committee for review and
recommendation. The Design Review Committee recommendation will be submitted to the
6
Central Business District
Urban Revitalization Plan
Iowa City City Council for review and approval. The City Council must approve the exterior
design for all rehabilitation, additions, and new construction of non-historic structures prior to
issuance of a building permit in order for the improvements to qualify for property tax
exemption.
Time Frame
The CBD Area shall remain a designated revitalization area for ten years from the date of
designation.
Revenue Bonds
The City has no plans to issue revenue bonds for revitalization projects within the CBD Area.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR ELIGIBILITY
Qualified property improvements include rehabilitation and additions to existing structures and
new construction for property assessed as commercial property defined above as qualified
real estate, see "Applicability of the Plan, Land Uses and Types of Construction Eligible."
Qualified property improvements do not include new construction that requires the demolition
of structures identified herein as historic and/or architecturally significantly.
In order to be considered eligible, all improvements must be completed in conformance with
all applicable regulations of the City of Iowa City. All improvements must also increase the
actual value of the property as of the first year for which an exemption is received by at least
fifteen percent (15%) in the case of real property assessed as commercial property and by at
least ten percent (10%) in the case of real property assessed as residential property. Actual
value added by improvements defined as eligible herein means the actual value added as of
the first year for which the exemption was received.
TAX EXEMPTION SCHEDULE
Tax exemption on qualifying improvements shall follow one of four schedules as set out by
state law. Eligible property owners shall elect one of the four schedules. Once the election
has been made and the exemption granted, the owner is not permitted to change the method
of exemption. Exemption schedules are as follows:
All qualified real estate assessed as residential property is eligible to receive an
exemption from taxation based on the actual value added by the improve-
ments. The exemption is for a period of ten (10) years. The amount of the
exemption is equal to a percent of the actual valued added by improvements,
determined as follows: one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the value added
by the improvements. However, the amount of the actual value added by the
improvements which shall be used to compute the exemption shall not exceed
twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) and the granting of the exemption shall not
result in the actual value of the qualified real estate being reduced below the
actual value on which the homestead credit is computed under section 425.1,
Code of Iowa (1999).
7
Central Business District
Urban Revitalization Plan
e
All qualified real estate is eligible to receive a partial exemption from taxation
on the actual value added by the improvements. The exemption is for a period
of ten (1 O) years. The amount of the partial exemption is equal to a percent of
the actual value added by the improvements, determined as follows:
For the first year, eighty percent (80%).
For the second year, seventy percent (70%).
For the third year, sixty percent (60%).
For the fourth year, fifty percent (50%).
For the fifth year, forty percent (40%).
For the sixth year, forty percent (40%).
For the seventh year, thirty percent (30%).
For the eight year, thirty percent (30%).
For the ninth year, twenty percent (20%).
For the tenth year, twenty percent (20%).
All qualified real estate is eligible to receive a one hundred percent (100%)
exemption from taxation on the actual value added by the improvements. The
exemption is for a period of three (3) years.
All qualified real estate assessed as residential property or assessed as
commercial property is eligible to receive a one hundred percent (100%)
exemption from taxation on the actual value added by the improvements, but
only if the commercial property consists of three (3) or more separate living
quarters with at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the space used for
residential purposes. The exemption is for a period of ten (10) years.

designated CBD Area. Upon such consideration, the following shall be provided under the
CBD Revitalization Plan:
Benefits
Upon application for and the City's verification of a property owner's eligibility for tax
exemption, qualified tenants in the designated CBD Area shall be compensated by the

RE: Revitalization
Dear Sarah & David:
Enclosed please find our request that the area be designated for revitalization as a blighted
area. Designation as economic development would not provide sufficient, if any, assistance with
taxes, based on your advice that you will be using the January 1999 assessment as the base even
though only a base lot is all that remains.
Yours ....
MBM:nms
Enc;.
Request to designate Lot 4 of block 82 as a revitalization area pursuant to
Iowa Code section 404.1 as a blighted area.
Prior to the fire of March 26, 1999 this area consisted of:
212 South Clinton Street - Mondo's Restaurant and 10 apartments
210 South Clinton Street - Iowa Hair Cutting Co. and 2 apartments
103 East College Street - Mid America Securities, Getman Campus Optical and 2 floors
of offices.
105 East College Street - Cost Cutters Hair Salon and 2 floors of offices.
After the fire the buildings at 210 and 212 South Clinton Street were totally deteriorated due to
the fire and the buildings at 103 East College and 105 East College suffered devastating damage
due to the fire.
Iowa Code section 404.1 (2) provides that an area may be designated as a revitalization area:
1. If one or more enumerated conditions:
(a) substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of a municipality; OR
(b) retards the provision of housing accommodations; OR
(c) constitutes an economic or social liability;
AND
in its PRESENT condition is a menace to the public:
(a) health; OR
(b) safety; OR
(c) welfare
Following is an analysis of Iowa Code section 404.1(2) in relation to lot 4. block 82:
Iowa Code section 404.1 (2) contains a list of conditions of which any one, or
combination of more than one, authorizes designating an area as a revitalization area. The
conditions from that list which are applicable to lot 4 of block 82 include:
A. SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF DETERIORATED OR DETERIORATING
STRUCTURES.
discussion: The buildings at 210 and 212 South Clinton were totally deteriorated
due to the fire. The buildings at 103 and 105 East College Street were severely
deteriorated due to the fire and water damage. The entire East College Street
structure had to be shored up with structural steel to allow the removal and
replacement of the entire 3 story south wall. To date renovation costs are
$552,029.21 and will likely exceed $700,000.00 by the time the project is
complete. Even after completion of that renovation the building will continue to
suffer and be cornpromised due to the absence of the abutting building. For over
100 years the East College Street properties shared a common wall with the
property at 210 South Clinton Street. The result of the condition of the site now is
that the College Street structures continue to flood. The flooding is in the
electrical room and in the boiler room which are two separate areas and are both
along the south wall. Over $40,000.00 was invested since the fire to replace the
electrical service on that south wall due to its destruction from the water used to
fight the fire. Constant monitoring and pumping of water is required due to the
deterioration of the site.
In short every building in the proposed revitalization area has been either totally
deteriorated or substantially deteriorated. The proposed area constitutes a
significant portion of the frontage on the main street running through downtown
Iowa City.
B. UNSAFE CONDITION
discussion: the site of the former Clinton Street buildings now consists of
unsightly and unsafe foundation walls enormous concrete pillars; old stairways;
and old doorways to old underground rooms.
C. DETERIORATION OF SITE OR OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
discussion: The site and improvements for both the former Clinton Street
buildings and the East College Street buildings are severely deteriorated. The
effects on the East College Street structures was devastating as discussed in part
"A" above.
Electrical Service to the Clinton Street Buildings was totally destroyed
and the Electrical Service to the East College Street buildings had to be
completely replaced at a cost in excess of $40,000.00.
Gas service was cut to the East College Street properties and had to be
restored. Gas service to the Clinton Street site was destroyed and must be
replaced.
The phone service to the Clinton Street properties was totally destroyed as
was the phone service to the East College Street buildings. At significant cost,
temporary phone lines have been run to the numerous businesses located in the
East College Street buildings.
Some businesses have been unable to return. Sprint had a facility at the
East College Street property and 900 pair cable were destroyed and restoration has
not begun and may never be possible or feasible. Sprint had its own electrical
service which was destroyed and has still not been restored.
All condensing units were destroyed for the East College Street businesses
and had to be replaced and totally re-piped into the building.
Restoration work has continued non stop since the day of the fire to restore
the East College Street properties and the efforts continue.
Effects of these conditions (alone or in combination):
1. Impairment to sound growth of Iowa City:
-the proposed area is a highly visible area on the main downtown street of Iowa City.
The blighted condition as it stands now is certainly an impairment to growth of Iowa
City, a city that is already experiencing significant vacancies. Restoration of this site in a
quality manner is imperative to the sound growth of Iowa City.
2. Retarding the provision of housing accommodations:
-the destroyed building housed 12 apartments in a prime area where no parking was
allowed. Failure to densely develop this site with residences would severely retard badly needed
housing accommodations of this type.
3. Economic or Social Liability
-the area in its present condition both an economic liability to the city and is a social
liability. Iowa City is at a time when it needs to revitalize its downtown and this now blighted
area is a major detraction from that. It also takes off the tax rolls a valuable structure.
Revitalizing this blighted area is an opportunity to increase the tax base significantly.
The only remaining question is whether this area in its PRESENT condition is a menace to:
(a) the public health; OR
(b) the public safety; OR
(c) the public welfare.
The present condition of the area can certainly be said to be a menace to public health and
safety. Moreover, there can be no question that it is a menace to the public welfare. Black's
Law dictionary defines menace as "a threat" and defines public welfare as "the prosperity, well-
being, or convenience of the public at large, or of a whole community .... "This is a highly
visible site covering a significant percentage of the main street in our community. The prosperity
of Iowa City general and of the downtown area is greatly impacted by the current condition of
the area, and is impacted by the loss of a significant commercial structure and commercial
enterprise. Numerous merchants have expressed concern over the loss to downtown businesses.
Not just because the former building is gone but because of the devastating social impact the loss
of a maj or restaurant has had to downtown pedestrian traffic and the effect on numerous
businesses.
The proposed area is clearly a blighted area. It certainly meets the tests set forth in Iowa
Code section 404.1 (2) and in fact is a prime example of the purpose of that section. This highly
visible downtown area needs to be rebuilt quickly and with integrity for the good of the entire
community and for the continued viability of downtown Iowa City. The City should be pro-
active this time and not wait until it is too late to assure the proper revitalization of this crucial
area.

CITY OF I0 WA CITY
Dear Marc:
On July 2, Mayor Lehman, Karin Franklin, Sarah Holecek, David Schoon, and I met to discuss
your request that Lot 4 of Block 82, including the Whiteway site, be designated an urban
revitalization area based on the criteria of blight. We concluded that the condition of the
downtown area, and more specifically the subarea of Lot 4/Block 82 does not, in our judgement,
meet the definition of a blighted area as defined and intended by the Iowa Code, Chapter 404.
However, although we do not believe that the requested area meets the definition of blight, upon
our furlher discussions we do believe it would be appropriate to recommend designation of the
downtown as an urban revitalization area based on the definition of economic development.
In accordance with this recommendation to the City Council, and urban revitalization plan will
need to be prepared that designates the Central Business District (the area generally bounded
by Gilbert, Burlington, Capitol, and Iowa) as an urban revitalization area based upon economic
development criteria. The formal process of consideration will begin at the Council's work
session of July 12 where the formal recommendation will be presented. At their regularly
scheduled formal meeting of July 13 a resolution setting a public hearing on August 24 will be
proposed.
Under the economic development criteria designation only the commercial component of your
proposed project would be eligible for property tax exemption. As we seek Council approval and
prepare the necessary documents for designation, David Schoon will be in contact with you. If
you have any questions please feel free to call Karin Franklin or David Schoon.
Sincerely,
City Manager

Stephen J. Atkins, City Manager
City of Iowa City

Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Stephen:
Flint, we want to express our support for the $20 million dollar investment that is under way in downtown Iowa
City, The Downtown has always been our 'place of business" and we, too, are enthusiastic about its role in the
future of eastem Iowa. As you know Plaza Centre One was the first Urban Renewal Project set in place. As
members of the downtown business community for over three decades, we encourage the vitality of this area.
That is why we write you today.
A method to bring new players into the Downtown is being conceived. It is an idea that readily fits into the
plans City Council and you have - putting even more vigor the center of town. To continue as a strong player,
PC1 needs creative ideas and other assistance from Iowa City at this time.
Our hopes include expansion and realignment of Plaza Centre One's first floor to the west, incorporating the
open area into a more eye catching, functional space. At this moment, one out-of-state group has strong
interest in this Plaza location. Another part of the plan includes converting PC1 's five upper levels into
condominiums. This event, we believe, would offer a platform for more professional offices situating in the
business district. A stronger base for focus upon the needs of Downtown would be set with these new
commitments from new people,
For this endeavor, support for an allocation of parking spaces to the owners/users of PC1 is sought. Its
location on the City Plaza at the northwest comer of Dubuque and College Walk makes a dependence upon
availability of City sponsored off street parking. A policy for confirming parking would be of great interest to
businesses considering employee relocation to Downtown.
Another area we seek support is tax abatement under the Urban Revitalization Law. This is important for the
plan to succeed. New owners/investors would be more confident to significantly invest in Downtown with this
city support on the table. Too, these major investments and follow-up construction improvements would bode
well for Iowa City.
Again, we thank the Mayor, Director of Planning and you for the opportunity to present this proposal. We
think the timing is good and the needs are great. We look forward to your response and offer our willingness
and support to you plans for a greater downtown.

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 9, 1999
To: ' ' ' ,oerevzlopme~~,~
David Schoon, Economic Development Coordinat
Re: Central Business District Urban Revitalization Policy Proposal
On the Council's July 13, 1999, agenda is a resolution of necessity and setting a public
hearing for August 24 on a proposed Central Business District Urban Revitalization Plan.
This item is precipitated by Marc Moen and Monica Moen's request for property tax
exemption for a redevelopment project located on the former Whiteway Building site.
Consideration of this policy is also precipitated by interest from other private property
owners in downtown redevelopment. The rationale for suggesting the broader urban
revitalization plan is presented below.
Before explaining the rationale for this policy proposal, a refresher on tax exemption may
be appropriate. Tax exemption or abatement is only on the added value brought to a
property by some improvement. It does not apply to the routine appreciation of property in
the market. Abatement does not decrease the taxes collected on the base value of
property. An urban revitalization plan is required for abatement to occur. The plan cannot
be limited to one lot or building. No up-front money is required from the City. This differs
from tax increment financing in which the City commits to an expenditure of public funds
and is reimbursed over time by the taxes collected on the added value of a property. Tax
increment financing requires an urban renewal plan.
Central Business District Urban Revitalization Plan
The proposed Central Business District Urban Revitalization Area (CBD Area) includes the
area generally bound by Gilbert, Burlington, and Capitol streets, and Iowa Avenue. This
area is proposed, consistent with our Downtown Strategy and Comprehensive Plan
guidance, to enhance and stimulate the revitalization of downtown. With the City's
investment in improving the public spaces downtown, the next logical step is the
stimulation of private sector redevelopment and improvements. Financial incentives, such
as tax abatement, are one tool cities have to stimulate private investment without
burdening the City's fiscal position. As noted above, tax abatement is on the value added
to properties and not an abatement of taxes currently paid. Abatement can, therefore, be
seen as an "investment" in ensuring the continued viability of downtown by encouraging
private sector investment without the expenditure of public dollars. The plan proposes
that this incentive be targeted to commercial redevelopment only, consistent with our
goals for downtown and with the type of development most in need of encouragement.
The plan also acknowledges the policy of the City to preserve our heritage of historic
buildings and does not provide a tax incentive to any project which requires the demolition
of an historic structure.
Property Tax Exemption
The resolution on the Council's agenda is the first step in establishing property tax
exemption for qualified projects in the proposed urban revitalization area. The decision to
designate an area an urban revitalization area should further a public policy - in this case
encouraging the revitalization of commercial activity in the downtown
Attachment 1 lists a proposed schedule for the steps in establishing property tax
exemption for the site. The steps in the process are basically the following: The City
designates an urban revitalization area by ordinance; the City then adopts, by resolution,
an urban revitalization plan for the area. Once this has been established, a developer
within the proposed urban revitalization area is able to apply to the City Council for
property tax exemption for the added value of improvements to the site. Once the City
Council grants the exemption, the application is sent to the City Assessor to determine if
the added value of improvements meets all of the requirements.
According to the proposed urban revitalization plan, projects within the revitalization area
must meet all of the following criteria to qualify for property tax exemption:
Qualified real estate includes real estate assessed as commercial property. Only the
non-residential commercial component of a commercial property would qualify for
property tax exemption. However, any reuse of a historic structure assessed as
residential (owner-occupied housing - condominium units for example), residential
commercial (rental housing), or non-residential commercial property shall be considered
qualified real estate.
Eligible construction includes rehabilitations, additions, and new construction.
However, new construction that replaces structures identified in this CBD Revitalization
Plan as historic and/or architecturally significant is not eligible for property tax
exemption.
· The design of any qualifying project must be reviewed by either the staff design review
committee and City Council or by the Historic Preservation Commission.
In order to be considered eligible, all improvements must increase the actual value of
the property as of the first year for which an exemption is received by at least fifteen
percent (15%) in the case of real property assessed as commercial property and by at
least ten (1 O%) in the case of real property assessed as residential property.
The proposed plan includes four tax exemption schedules, as provided by State law, from
which an eligible property owner can select. State law requires that all urban revitalization
areas within a city provide the same tax exemption schedules. Since these four schedules
exist in other urban revitalization areas within the city, these four schedules would also be
provided in the proposed CBD Area.
The CBD Urban Revitalization Area would remain a designated revitalization area for a
period of ten years. During this ten-year period, a qualified property owner in the area may
apply for property tax exemption. The tax exemption schedule property owners select will
be in effect from the date of City Council approval of tax exemption for the specific
project.
The Plan also contains relocation provisions in the event qualified tenants are displaced as
a result of improvements to be made in the designated area due to action on the part of a
property owner to qualify for benefits under this Plan.
Rescinding Block 62 Urban Revitalization Plan & Urban Revitalization Area Ordinance
In order to include Block 62 (the Citizen Building Block) as part of the CBD Urban
Revitalization Plan and Area, it appears that the City will need to rescind the Block 62
Urban Revitalization Plan and its corresponding Urban Revitalization Area Ordinance. With
the repeal of the Block 62 Plan and Area Ordinance, the Citizen Building exemption would
continue until its expiration. Any new projects would need to meet the eligibility
requirements of the new plan.
Property Tax Exemption Available for the Moen Project
Under the proposed CBD Plan, only the non-residential commercial component of the
proposed Moen project would qualify for property tax exemption. Given that the proposed
project is neither a low or moderate-income housing project nor a project restoring an
historic and/or architecturally significant structure, the residential commercial component
of the project would not qualify for property tax exemption. The only way the residential
commercial component of the structure could have qualified for the exemption is if we
designated the proposed area an urban revitalization area based on the definition of blight.
As the enclosed correspondence indicates, staff cannot recommend establishing an urban
revitalization area in the downtown based upon the definition of blight.
We will both be at your July 12 work session to answer any questions you may have on
the proposed Central Business District Urban Revitalization Plan and Area.

New Jobs and Income Program Agreement for the National Computer Systems
Project
On the Council's agenda is a resolution approving the New Jobs and Income Program
(NJIP) Agreement between National Computer Systems (NCS), the Iowa Department of
Economic Development (IDED), and the City of Iowa City. The City Council approved the
NJIP application last September. NCS, IDED, and City staff have just recently come to
terms on the NJIP agreement.
As you may recall, the Iowa New Jobs & Income Program (NJIP) provides a package of tax
credits and exemptions to businesses that make a large capital investment and create jobs
meeting wage and benefit targets. The program's benefits are only eligible to companies
meeting all of the following criteria:
1. Create at least 50 new full-time non-management production jobs for at least 5 years.
2. Pay a median wage for new full-time non-management production jobs of at least
911.42 per hour or 130% of the average county wage for new jobs, whichever is
higher.
3. Make a capital investment of at least ~ 10.38 million.
4. Provide at least 80% of the cost of a standard medical and dental insurance plan for all
full-time employees at the new facility.
5. For existing Iowa companies to be eligible, they may not close or significantly reduce
operations elsewhere in Iowa, and relocate the operation to the proposed community.
In addition to these five criteria, National Computer System also met the following three
criteria:
· Provides several retirement plans/options and provides an employee stock ownership
plan.
· Provides high-quality, value-added services in the computer-related services industry.
· Invest no less than 1% of the pretax profits in research and development in Iowa.
Under the program the company receives incentives from the State in the form of a
withholding tax credit; an investment tax credit; a research and development activity
corporate tax credit; and a refund of any Iowa sales, service or use taxes paid to
contractors during the construction of the project. For the NCS project, the City has
committed to providing for a period of ten years partial exemption from taxation. The
amount of the partial exemption is equal to a percent of the actual value added by the
improvements, determined as follows:
a) For the first year, eighty percent,
b) For the second year, seventy percent
c) For the third year, sixty percent
d) For the fourth year, fifty percent, and
e) For the fifth year, forty percent.
f) For the sixth year, forty percent
g) For the seventh year, thirty percent
h) For the eighth year, thirty percent
i) For the ninth year, twenty percent
j) For the tenth year, twenty percent
Based on a 82.3 million building addition and current tax rates, NCS would save
approximately ~320,000 over the ten-year period. Over this same ten year period NCS
will pay approximately $406,000 in property taxes (all taxing districts).
I will be at July 13 Council meeting to answer any questions you may have on the
agreement.

the fence which extends into the Park Road right-of-way, all as provided in Section 364.12,
Code of Iowa (1997); and in the event Owners do not comply within the time period
designated in the Notice to Remove, City may elect to remove, or direct removal of the
fence and/or any other obstructions from the right-of-way, and to charge the cost of such
removal to Owners, which Owners hereby agree to pay. Further, any costs of removal
may be assessed against the property in the manner provided in Section 364.12(2)(e),
Code of Iowa (1997).
Owners, together with their successors and assigns, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
City harmless in connection with any liability whatsoever arising in regard to the installa-
tion, maintenance, use, location, existence or repair of said fence within the Park Road
right-of-way, including any liability which the City may incur as a result of its decision to
allow placement of said fence within the Park Road right-of-way. Owners may later be
required to carry liability insurance coverage, but such coverage is now waived by the City.
If any required insurance is not maintained, the City shall have the right to remove the
fence pursuant to Section 364.12, Code of Iowa (1997).
Owners acknowledge and agree that no property right is conferred by this grant of permis-
sion to use the Park Road right-of-way for placement of the fence; that the City is not
empowered to grant a permanent use of its street right-of-way for private purposes; and
that the City may order said portion of fence removed at any time, if, for any reason, the
City Council determines that the property on which the fence is located is needed for a
public use and/or should be cleared of any or all obstructions, as provided by state law.
This Easement Agreement shall be recorded in the Johnson County Recorder's Office, at
Owners' expense.
This agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective heirs,
successors in interest and assigns of both parties.

To: City Council
From: City Manager
Re: Wrecker Service Contract
Every three years we seek proposals for the provision of vehicle towing and storage
service. We have received two formal proposals in response to our requests, both qualified
firms. Attached is a summary of the two proposals. There is a noticeable difference in the
cost of service provided. The low proposal was from Holiday Wrecker Service, Inc. As you
may recall they provided service for a number of years up to 1996 then the contract was
awarded to Big 10 University Towing, Inc.
As you know the City does not make money on these tows. While it is often
misunderstood, the cost of the tow is directly a cost incurred by the individual or owner of
the vehicle being towed. We provide for a contracted service for the purposes of
efficiency, fairness to the public (uniform rates) and in the limited instances that it may
require the use of the service for a city purpose, such as towing a city-owned disabled
vehicle.
The proposal process this time has led to numerous contacts from representatives of Big
10 to my office and attorney contacts by Holiday Wrecker Service for information
concerning the process of evaluation of the services. We would note those companies are
reputable and would likely provide a good service. I have been asked to meet with
company representatives over the last few days and have declined to do so. I believe there
is sufficient sensitivity to the possible change of contractors (Holiday Wrecker submitting a
lower proposal and would likely regain the contract), that I wanted the proposal process to
be open to as much public scrutiny as possible rather than private discussions.
There appears to be some Council interest for the possibility of a rotating schedule and
other changes in towing service. In our June 23 memo submitted to you, we expressed
our concerns and possible cost increases to the City if such a rotating schedule were to
OCCUr.
This contract for service is an attempt and over the years appears to have succeeded in
securing consistent costs to the consumer (those towed) and regulated services
(insurance, storage, etc.) for what can be an unpleasant but often necessary event (having
a car towed). We also have locked up our own service costs (towing of city vehicles) for a
fixed price over a fixed period.
By resolution, we recommend the contract with Holiday Wrecker Service. I believe you can
expect individuals to appeal to the City Council about or for something other than this
recommendation.

Frorn:Cathy Eisenhofer, Purchasing Agent
CC; RJ Winkelhake, Manouchehr Amin
RE: Rotation method for 3 year Towing Contract
The question has been raised as to why the City does not provide our own storage facility and allow
a rotation basis of privately owned tow trucks for towing?
The City generates approximately 1/2 of Big 10's business. 80% of.the tows are released within 8
hours. Storage income is not a large revenue generator, $3-5,000/mo. Storage fees do not cover
the cost of staffing the lot, estimated at $36,000/mo. Monies are.generated through volume of tows
and other services provided not storage fees. If the City implemented rotation towing. fees would
need to be evaluated to see if towing fees may need to decrease and storage fees increase to cover
the lot expenses.
The lot currently is open from 8:00 am to 8:00 PM, 7 days a week. The towing service is required to
be at the site within 20 minutes cif the call, 24 hrs a day. Big 10 has 2 staff on at all times to handle
the storage lot X 3 shifts a day = 6 staff. In addition there are 2-3 employees that process the
paperwork of the business. This does not include tow truck ddvers.
The Iowa City zoning code allows storage of abandoned or salvaged vehicles only in the I-1 zone.
Storage of operable vehicles would be permitted in a C1-1 zone. The City would be required to
designate land, add fencing costs and a building for impound and police investigation as well as
commit ongoing staffing costs or the City would pay a company to provide a storage lot and services
for the tows to be taken to.
There would also be issues of who's responsible for damage to vehicles towed. Currently, if Big 10
tows the vehicle, they are responsible from pickup to release. Insurance coverage is part of the
contract. If the City enters into rotation towing, inventory/inspection can be done when the vehicle is
brought into the lot but there is potential for separate damage and insurance claims as a result of
several companies.
The required equipment includes trucks that are needed to provide tows throughout the contract.
Small wreckers, large wreckers, and car carriers provide the necessary tows for cars as well as large
vehicles such as semi-trucks and 13uses. Additional small trucks are currently subcontracted for
events such as the Iowa Homecoming Parade. If you have a rotation basis for only the small trucks
there is not the incentive for the major equipment provider to maintain their larger units, currently
required by contract.
The City receives no direct revenue from the towing contract. The service is provided to assure
consistent and equitable towing/storage rates for the public as well as meet the City's legal
requirements for abandoned vehicles. Police officers offer to notify a towing company of choice to
the customer before contacting the contract towing company. To initiate a City lot or contract for a
storage lot in order to implement rotation towing does not appear to be a cost-effective change. Feel
free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Towing Contract - Customer Service
At the work session of July 12 there was discussion regarding the level of customer service
provided by the towing contractor. The proposal process addresses personnel (customer
service) as follows:
Contractor shall have available sufficient qualified personnel for the operation of the required
wreckers. Each driver shall have a current chauffeur's or CDL license issued by the State of
Iowa as required by law. The Contractor agrees that the owners of the company or the
corporation officers of the company shall be responsible for the acts of their employees
while on duty, except as otherwise prohibited by law.
The City prefers that each driver have at least one (1) year experience in towing and
recovery work. The Contractor shall insure that all drivers used on City calls shall be neat,
clean, uniformed, courteous and competent in skills needed to complete the Contract.
The City does discuss driver training and level of customer service with the contractor as part of
the initial contract orientation. The City encourages police officer feedback to the contractor
regarding any driver complaints or problems with contractor services. Use of the contract
service is not mandatory; the police officer does offer to notify a towing company of choice to
the customer before contacting the contract towing service.
City Staff did meet with Big 10 University Towing prior to beginning the contract 3 years ago and
we intend to do the same with Holiday Wrecker Services, Inc. Holiday did provide the City's
contract services for 12 years prior to August 1996 but a meeting will still be held. Holiday and
Big 10 both offer credit card service to facilitate payments. As we stated at the work session,
both companies are respectable firms, to date providing satisfactory customer service.
