Re: Disabled passes - Transit
The City of Iowa City issues disabled passes to persons who meet the following guidelines:
"Disability is defined by law as a physical or mental condition of a person which constitutes a
substantial handicap. A person with positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test result is
also deemed to be disabled." The applicant must sign a waiver allowing their physician to
release information regarding their disability to the City and the physician must sign a statement
that the applicant meets the guidelines established by the City. The physician must also state if
the disability is permanent or temporary.
Certified paratransit riders do not have to apply for an additional pass. Their paratransit card is
accepted as a pass.
Iowa City disabled passes are issued in two year blocks. The current passes expire in March of
2000. At that time all disabled pass holders must apply for re-certification. This process is
consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Disabled passes are valid for free transit rides during off peak times: between 9:00 a.m. and
3:30 p.m., evenings after 6:30, and all day Saturday.
Coralville follows a similar process for initial certification; however, they do not require re-
certification after the initial pass is issued. In addition, Coralville does not limit when the passes
can be used; they are valid at any time.
If you have any questions, please feel flee to call Joe Fowler at 356-5156.

Re: Atrazine in Drinking Water
Yesterday the Environmental Working Group (EWG) released the report Into the Mouths of
Babes. The article contends that bottle-fed infants are at risk from atrazine in tap water.
However, EGA report and the press release commends utility efforts to identify and treat for
atrazine in tap water. EWG is calling for a ban on the use of atrazine and focusing on the
manufacturer responsibility in creating a potential health hazard. A copy of the EWG report is
available on their website at www.ewg.org.
Carol Sweeting, our Water Educator, heard of this report on the radio station, therefore, you
may get some inquiry. Iowa City is a surface water provider so we do have levels of atrazine in
the tap water. However recent additions of activated carbon filtration in the 4 larger filters reduce
levels of atrazine and water is blended from deep wells that do not contain atrazine. A recent
test taken on July 16, 1999 showed a concentration of 0.00055mg/L the maximum contaminant
limit set by EPA is .0030 mg/L, Last year levels ranged from .00021 -.0017.
The new water facility expected to be on line in 2002 will not rely heavily on the Iowa River as a
primary source. Groundwater will be the primary provider and in this type of source atrazine
levels are greatly reduced. Water will go through activated carbon filters, which can remove
atrazine.
If you have questions about this release or about the treatment plants capabilities contact Carol
at 356-5164, or Kevin Slutts and Ed Moreno can help at 356-5160.

Friendship Street Traffic Calming
On Wednesday, July 28, Marcia Klingaman and Doug Ripley met with about 15 neighbors in the
E. Friendship Street area regarding traffic calming. After explaining the options of the eastern
portion of Friendship as limited to enforcement, they discussed the raised crosswalk (somewhat
like a speed hump, flat on top) to connect the two segments of the Court Hill Park to address
some speeding, but mostly neighborhood and park safety concerns. The neighbors indicated
they would like to pursue it and continue through the traffic calming process.
In the next couple of weeks Doug will begin preparing a survey for the neighbors. If the
neighborhood approves, the issue will be taken for discussion to the City Council.

Coralville, IA 52241
CITY OF I0 WA CITY
Dear Gary:
The purpose of this letter will acknowledge receipt of your request for assistance from the Iowa
City Fire Department with respect to providing joint response to all calls in the fire territories for
which the City of Coralville is responsible. This response/assistance will occur from Wednesday,
July 28 through Friday, August 6 during the hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. A copy of your letter and
my response have been directed to the Iowa City fire command staff for implementation. I will
assume that you have communicated with all the appropriate parties within the Coralville Fire
Department, Coralville city administration, as well as others who provide support for our
respective fire and emergency responses. These would also include those responsible for
dispatch as well as the other communities that Coralville services with fire protection and
emergency response. As I understand, the City of Coralville provides mutual aid to Iowa City
and others, and also is the first responder to the City of University Heights and East Lucas
Township.
Upon my review of the 28E mutual aid agreement there appears to be sufficient language to
provide for this type of assistance under the emergency clauses within the agreement. I would
note it does not appear that the agreement contemplates this type of circumstance; however, I
believe that under the "emergency" clause we can satisfy your needs on a temporary basis as
you propose.
If there are any questions please feel free to contact representatives of the Iowa City Fire
Department and/or my office. Given these circumstances, vacation schedules and the recent
personnel shortages can be planned for in advance. Therefore, I would hope in the future we
can identify these circumstances in advance, allow for sufficient notice, and consider amending
the agreement to cover this type of situation.
Sincerely,
City Manager

Re:
Airport North Commercial Development
The engineering work on the 54-acre Airport North Commercial Development
Project is proceeding rather slowly because of the various environmental issues
that must be addressed.
The preliminary plat work is complete and the plat has been reviewed and
recommended for approval by the Planning Department, pending approval of
final construction plans by Public Works. Construction plans are near completion
with only wetlands mitigation design issues yet to be resolved. Resolution of
design issues and approval of construction plans should be completed by the end
of September.
A small parcel of land owned by Cub Foods must be acquired in order to extend
Ruppert Road into airport property. Negotiations with Cub Foods will commence
upon completion of the construction plans and preparation of an acquisition plat.
Even though individual lots within the subdivision will not be sold, the land is
being subdivided for purposes of use and as such must be approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission. It is anticipated the preliminary plat approval
will occur at the first Planning and Zoning Commission meeting in October.

Traffic Calming on Ridgewood Drive
Earlier this summer I was contacted by residents on Seventh Avenue, Court Street, and
Muscatine Avenue who surround the alley known as Ridgewood Drive. The neighbors were
concerned about the amount of speeding traffic cutting through the alley to avoid the all-way
stop at Seventh Avenue and Court Street. The neighborhood would like to proceed through the
traffic calming process even though alleys are not technically eligible for the program. Although I
would not advocate opening up the traffic calming program to alleys in general, I feel
Ridgewood Drive is a unique situation that should be allowed to go through the traffic calming
process.
Ridgewood Drive was originally platted as a public street. In 1969 the street was dedicated as a
public alley and given a concrete surface very similar to a street. The alley surrounds a park that
is collectively owned by the neighbors of Ridgewood Addition. A map showing the area is
enclosed.
Although Ridgewood Drive is an alley, its associated traffic concerns are unique in that it acts as
a short cut between Court Street and Seventh Avenue. The concrete is much smoother than a
typical alley, and there is no traffic control to hinder motorists. This alley functions very much
like a street behind the houses along Muscatine Avenue.
It would be my intention to proceed through the traffic calming process with the neighborhood
and complete the initial traffic study, develop possible options, conduct the neighborhood
survey, and if desired by the neighborhood bring a project to you for a final determination. I will
proceed with working through the traffic calming process with the neighborhood unless you
direct me otherwise at your August 23-24 City Council meetings. -
Please let me know if you have any questions. I can be reached at 356-5254. A copy of a
petition developed by the neighborhood is enclosed.

Re: September 25 Toxic Waste Cleanup Day
As you are aware, the Iowa City Landfill is continuing to plan for a permanent household hazardous
waste collection facility which is now scheduled to open in the summer of 2000. Since the permanent
facility will not be ready until next year, we are planning a one-day toxic waste cleanup event similar
to the events in the past. The event will be held Saturday, September 25, 1999 at the Iowa City
Transit Building. There is no Iowa football game on this day.
I have contacted a contractor to service the event and I have begun lining up the necessary
equipment. The event will serve about 500 residents and will cost about $50,000-~75,000, paid for
with landfill surcharge fees. Items to be collected include paint and paint products, poisons, batteries,
fiammables, pesticides, herbicides, and many other toxic household products. The event is open free
of charge to all Iowa City landfill users. Reservations will be taken to minimize traffic at the event.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Foster Road Reconstruction and Watermain Project
Weather permitting, on Monday, August 2, 1999, Langman Construction, Inc. of Rock
Island will continue placing watermain along Foster Road. Due to the progress of this
project, a change in the routing of traffic will be necessary.
Foster Road between the Idylwild Condominium Driveway and No Name Road will
remain closed to traffic. Traffic will continue to be detoured through Taft Speedway until
the first week of December. Motorists going to the Elks Country Club must follow this
detour. Motorists are encouraged to follow the posted detour route and exercise
caution while driving in this area.
Motorists going to Idylwild Condominiums should enter from Dubuque Street to Foster
Road from the East. Please note this is a change from the current traffic routing.
Motorists should exercise extreme caution because Foster Road from Laura Drive to
the Idylwild Condominium Driveway will be limited to one lane of traffic. Flaggers will be
used on this segment of the road.
Future press releases will be issued to update progress and describe upcoming traffic
routes. The completion of the entire project is expected by September 2000.

From: "F. Jay Woodson" <woodso@blue.weeg.uiowa.edu>
To: Dee-Norton@uiowa.edu
Subject: Microchips in animals Council Mtg 7-26-99
Being a dog owner and a permanent Iowa City resident, I was distressed by
the proposal of Goodman-Herbst to insert microchips in animals
apprehended by Animal Control. This is a dubious method of tracking down
the animal's owner. All responsible owners quickly note the absence of
their "family member" and contact the Animal Shelter. On the other hand,
the chips <bold><italic>would</italic></bold> expedite the reunion of the
pet with a neglectful, irresponsible owner--someone who had not noticed
its absence or simply did not care enough to contact Animal Control. So
Shelter statistics might well improve with the chip ordinance. But I am
very reluctant to return the animals to bad homes. The animals
euthanized at the Shelter are not "family members" gone astray; they are
animals that are not claimed, not wanted by their owner.
Re invisible fences: I neither have one nor know of anyone who does.
How big a problem is this? Both the fence and chip proposals beg the
same questions: Is there really a serious problem to be addressed? Can
it be solved or significantly mitigated by additional ordinances? (Or
will these
ordinances simply bolster Iowa City's reputation as the "Queen City of
Regulation"?)
Yours,
Jay Woodson

Dear Council Member,
I would like to voice my support for a walkway connection from the senior
center to the new parking ramp. I hope that you will consider this
seriously. We have a wonderful senior center and as I understand it
presently, seniors would have to walk from Iowa Ave around to Washington St.
to enter. This is an important issue for our seniors.
Thank you, Steve Armstrong

Subject: Update on Transition to AT&T Name
Dear Mr. Helling:
Thank you for this opportunity to bring you up to date on our transition from using the brand name "TCI"
to that of our new parent company "AT&T." As you know, this brand name does not affect the legal
entity or the ownership of our local franchise -- we are simply changing the brand name and logo under
which we do business in the community. Nor does it reflect a transfer of the franchise or a change of
control of it.
Effective early August, 1999 we will begin the process of using the AT&T brand throughout the former
TCI organization:
AT&T will be the name used on our most prominent assets, such as our buildings, trucks and
employee uniforms.
· AT&T Broadband & Internet Services will be our business unit name. You will see this name
primarily on our letterhead and business cards.
AT&T Cable Services is the name of our primary product group. Our product names, AT&T Digital
Cable and AT&T Cable, fall under this primary group name. The name AT&T Cable Services will
ultimately be reflected on our customers' bills and work order forms, beginning late fall of this year.
This will also be the name our customer service representatives will use when answering the phones,
beginning early August, 1999. To ease the transition, employees will use both names when greeting
customers (e.g., "AT&T Cable Services, formerly TCI") until September.
Of course, some of these brand changes may take several months and you may continue to see the TCI
name and logo on various materials until the transition is complete. I will send you an update if there are
any future issues related to the brand transition process that arise. In the meantime, please let me know if
you have any questions about this information.

Mr. Thomas G. Wemette, Ph.D.

Dear Mr. Wemette:
Mayor Lehman has asked that I respond to your letter regarding the parking restrictions in the
Capitol Street ramp. This ordinance was passed by the Iowa City City Council at the request of
the downtown merchants and the Old Capitol Mall merchants. Previous attempts to regulate
employee parking by requesting they use the upper levels had failed. Because of the inability to
distinguish between employee, student, and visitor/shopper parking, the 10 a.m. ban on lower
level parking was deemed to be the only method of controlling the space and reserving it for
visitors/shoppers when the majority of establishments opened.
While both the merchants and the City realize that on certain days such as sidewalk sales there
is a potential for confusion and conflict, the program has been very successful. The fact that you
observed numerous available parking spaces on the lower levels as you exited demonstrates
the success of the program. Because employee parking does not decrease in the summer and
to avoid confusion on the part of the public, it was determined that the ordinance should be
enforced year-round.
The Capitol Street ramp is the only parking facility in Iowa City that has this restriction. When
visiting in the future, the Dubuque Street ramp, one block east, has no early hour restrictions.
The intent of this ordinance is to accommodate visitors to the City such as you. I hope you
understand the intent of the restriction and continue to visit downtown. Iowa City is continuing to
invest millions of dollars in facilities and streetscapes to make your visit enjoyable.
Sincerely,
Joe Fowler

Dear Mrs. Horton:
Thank you for your letter regarding access to the Senior Center from the Iowa Avenue Parking
Ramp. There are several reasons there is no access into the alley between the Senior Center
and the Ramp. I will explain them in detail below.
Ecumenical Towers and HUD required a separate, secure entrance for their residence. Due
to the steep slope of the ramp at this point it was impossible to place two separate
entrances in this location.
· There are very few parking spaces that could access an entrance/exit at this location.
· To access this point a person must walk in the traffic lane. The floor in this area is sloped
and it is just around a curve that all vehicles entering the ramp must use.
The flat parking surfaces and handicapped parking places are located on the upper floors
adjacent to the elevators. The floors in the walkways at the bottom of the elevators are
heated to reduce ice and snow.
Security for ramp users is also a concern. Walking into an open well lighted lobby and then
using a glassed backed elevator to a glass enclosed lobby provides a greater level of
security for ramp users.
While an overhead walkway between the facility and the Senior Center is still being considered
by the City Council, the projected route of travel will be no longer than the old one from the lot.
In addition, it should reduce conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles as you will only cross
the alley at the sidewalk, not be required to cross at mid block and walk along the alley edge.
If you require further information, you can contact me at 356-5156.
Sincerely,
Joe Fowler

Coralville Reservoir Water Control Plan
The Corps of Engineers is considering a change in the Water Control Plan for the
Coralville Reservoir that would increase the maximum summer release rate from
6000 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 8000 cfs. The change in the Water Control
Plan has been proposed to reduce the likelihood of flow in the emergency
spillway and associated high flood levels. Depending on the amount of rainfall in
the Iowa River watershed, we may or may not see extended periods of 8000 cfs
flows in any given year.
Overall, I believe this is a positive change for our community. It reduces our risk
of major flooding. However there are negative impacts for us. Although 8000 cfs
is well below the level at which the Iowa River causes significant problems
(12,000 cfs), it will have the following impacts:
· Increased frequency of flooding of the northbound lanes of Dubuque
Street.
· Increased inundation of Lower City Park, mostly along the west bank
just upstream from the Park Road bridge. We do not expect any of the
roads in Lower City Park to be flooded at 8000 cfs.
· Increased frequency of flooding of the Iowa River Corridor Trail where
it passes under the Benton Street and Highway 6 bridges.
· Increased potential for flooding along the Iowa River caused by flash
floods on Rapid Creek and Clear Creek.
Our concerns regarding the negative impacts have been forwarded to the Corps.

Re: IDOT Bridge Repairs
The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) is preparing plans for repairs to
three area bridges:
· Highway 1, Southbound over 1-80
· Highway 1, Southbound over Ralston Creek (Dodge Street)
· Highway 6 over the Iowa River
Work on the Dodge Street Bridge will involve new railings along the sidewalk and
the addition of a barrier rail between the sidewalk and the roadway. The IDOT's
standards for such work are to use a chain link fence for the railing and a plain
concrete barrier rail. We have given the IDOT design details for a barrier rail and
sidewalk railing that are consistent with the aesthetic design of other bridges in
the City. The IDOT is receptive to incorporating the changes and will share in
the additional cost up to about $5,000. Our share of the additional cost will be
about $15,000. Actual costs will be known after bids are taken.

CALL TO ORDER:
Mollenhauer called the meeting to order at 6:55 p.m.
REVIEW MAY 26, JUNE 16, AND JUNE 23 MEETING MINUTES:
Review of the minutes was tabled due to the lack of a quorum.
UNIVERSITY OF IOWA DEER REPORTS:
1999- April f9, Mormon Trek
Mollenhauer said that she contacted the University of Iowa (UI) Public Safety Office and was
told that the Office has only had one repoded auto accident - Mormon Trek on April 19. The UI
Public Safety Office is now reporting incidents to Doug Ripley (City of Iowa City employee).
Ripley will share this information with the Committee.
Jones asked if the committee had received any information from groundskeepers at the UI.
Mollenhauer responded that the City only receives information when Public Safety is involved.
REPORT ON SHARPSHOOTING COMPONENTS:
Locker
Mollenhauer stated that Jeff Ruzicka is willing to help out with packaging the deer meat if the
sharpshooting program is used. He has been directed to make 1-pound packages rather than 5-
pound because: the meat generally must be combined with another type of meat; it is safer to
thaw one pound at a time; and families may not be able to afford five pounds of mixer-meat at
once. Jeff will provide the Committee with a quote that may be higher than last year due to the
smaller-size packages. He said that he will also be willing to work with the Chair of Coe College
in providing a location for the college students to perform reproductive autopsies on some of the
deer.
Private Contractors
Mollenhauer stated that she contacted the contractors and to date has received information
from White Buffalo, Inc. (Information was included in members' meeting packets.) The two other
contractors requested additional information--such as maps, deer counts, etc. and she has
not heard back from them. In addition, the other companies may not have as much on paper
because they appear to be start-up companies.
Iowa City/Coralville Deer Mgmt. Committee Minutes
July 7, 1999
Page 2
Mollenhauer said that Deborah at White Buffalo told her that White Buffalo has a lot of
experience. She said the company provided a long list of references. She talked with one
reference, a police officer in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, who provided a glowing review.
Jones noted that the organization is not-for-profit and includes litigation costs in its estimates.
Mollenhauer said that White Buffalo is prepared to handle litigation because they told her there
usually is some type of legal effort to stop sharpshooting programs. Ashman said that this
company appears to be credible because it provided a lot of information quickly.
Farrant asked if the USDA is at all interested in working with the City again and what they could
do to avoid the same situation. Mollenhauer said that the last time she spoke with EdHartin
from the USDA, he did not provide any reassurance that the City would not end up in the same
situation again. Jones said that the complaint last time was based not on content, but on
procedure, and that these complaints use traditional delay tactics. Mollenhauer added that the
federal government seems to be more susceptible to these situations because they have to
follow certain procedural regulations. Although private companies are not immune to litigation,
we should look to them for assistance.
Farrant asked what the next step should be for the Committee if members agree that the USDA
does not seem to be a viable option. Goodman-Herbst said that she would like to hear from one
of White Buffalo's references who has been through litigation with the company. Jones said that
the Committee knows the company has been involved in litigation in Eden Prairie, Minnesota
because they have several pages about the history of the case.
Ashman asked if it would help by contacting the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)
to negotiate an understanding. Mollenhauer said probably not because the HSUS does notwant
deer to be killed. Jones said that in previous e-mail conversations with the HSUS attorney, it
was clear that the HSUS was not aware of all of the work the committee had done. Mollenhauer
said that the City and HSUS agree on learning to live with the deer, but do not agree on how to
get the deer population under control. She said that putting up reflectors and fences does not
bring the population under control. The HSUS seems to want this to happen naturally.
Shannon Nelson said that she has spoken with the HSUS. Nelson's opinion was that the
Committee has established that the real problems are car accidents and damage to plants. Both
the HSUS and the UI Animal Coalition believe killing deer will not solve the problem unless all
deer are killed. Therefore, they need to work on building tolerance within the community through
education and using routes such as deer reflectors.
Jones said that obviously they cannot kill all of the deer and no one is advocating that.
Goodman-Herbst asked if the national organizations have been kept apprised of what is going
on at these committee meetings. Nelson said that they are. Jones said that itmay be good if the
national organizations receive copies of the Committee's minutes. Jones replied that the
discovery process in a lawsuit can prolong the case; however, the process could be expedited if
everything to be discovered is already out on the table. Mollenhauer noted that Gonnerman
has, upon request, been given final minutes.
Goodman-Herbst also asked if the national organizations take any stance on which is less
cruel bow hunting or sharpshooting. Nelson said that the organization definitely believes bow
hunting is crueler but do not advocate either. Jones said he was not sure if that was correct
because in one of the court cases he had previously read, sharpshooting was deemed an
acceptable short-term solution as long as the community also sought to participate in an
immuno-contraception study and find a long-term non-lethal solution. Ashman said that this is
why she suggests that they contact all of these groups to find out their preferred method (bow
hunting or sharpshooting).
Iowa City/Coralville Deer Mgmt. Committee Minutes
July 7, 1999
Page 3
Goodman-Herbst asked if bow hunting had ever been stopped by a court case in an agricultural
state. Mollenhauer said that the accepted method of urban deer management in the state of
Iowa is bow hunting. With bow hunting, The City is not contracting with one agency as with
sharpshooting. Goodman-Herbst stated 'that if sharpshooting was halted, none of the groups
would be happy with bow hunting.
Farrant said that there is a terrible irony at work here. She said that she belongs to several
animal-related groups and it was with great pain that she agreed to sharpshooting because it
was a practical solution to an inevitability. She said that as much as she admires the intent of
the UI Animal Coalition, the group has "really screwed things up." Now the Committee is .stuck
with working against an unpleasant alternative to an already awful decision. She said that she
does not distrust the Coalition's motives but wishes that they had used a little more perspicacity
and thought about the ultimate outcome of what they had started. The Committee is now stuck
and will probably end up seeing deer killed in an inhumane way. She said that she feels they
are weakening the outcome of what was an extraordinary process last year in which very
different groups and ideas came to a consensus. The Committee hit one little snag and they are
ready to fall apart. She would like to see the Committee embrace sharpshooting as the most
humane option and see whether this can be accomplished with a private organization this time.
She said that she does not want the Committee to give up what they worked for last year.
Goodman-Herbst said this is why it is good to see that White Buffalo is ready to deal with
litigation.
Jones suggested that the Committee propose standards for the hiring of a contractor such as
experience in an urban setting and experience with court cases, strong safety record,
mandatory planning, type of shot, etc.
Joe Wilkinson suggested that the Committee use the communication from other communities
that have gone through this. Mollenhauer said that the reference in Minnesota is sending her
their contract and certification requirements. Goodman-Herbst suggested that once they have
gathered information, the Committee should name what they are generally looking for along with
an average cost. Jones said that most companies do not want to provide those costs without the
City requesting a bid.
Goodman-Herbst said that they could remove anything from the request that will be taken care
of by the locker and Coe College. She asked what the costs were for Eden Prairie. Mollenhauer
said $125-$150 per deer. She said White Buffalo has used clean head shots to kill
approximately 150 deer per year in Eden Prairie. The company shoots in parks and tight places
and has no incidents of ricochets. Police officers accompany the shooters in camouflage to
make sure no protesters are around. The company is registered with the Federal Government to
use sound suppressors. She spoke with the ATF who told her that it should not be a problem to
use sound suppressors as long as White Buffalo notifies the government where, when, and why
they will be shooting.
Mollenhauer added that there is a supplemental program using bow hunting in Eden Prairie.
Mollenhauer said that the City would probably again have police and fire personnel accompany
the sharpshooters.
Wilkinson said the company should provide records showing how effective they are (wounding
rates, etc.) Ashman asked Mollenhauer to find out more information about this company.
Goodman-Herbst suggested that the Committee go with the criteria from last year and see if the
Iowa City/Coralville Deer Mgmt. Committee Minutes
July 7, 1999
Page 4
company would provide an approximate cost. Mollenhauer said that she could look at the
references' contracts to obtain this information.
Mollenhauer said that she is concerned about not having a backup plan if the sharpshooting
with the private contractor is halted by a lawsuit. She said that there is not a bottomless pit of
money if the Committee gets nowhere year after year. Forbes asked if the City had an amount
budgeted for this, Mollenhauer said that last year $40,000 was approved.
Farrant said that even if the City resorted to bow hunting instead of sharpshooting, that would
not take care of the problem and the City may have en masse protests. She added that the
people who stopped the sharpshooting have no investment in Iowa City and the Committee
should not underestimate the emotional response to bow hunting. She commented that if a
young group committed to a cause, but not to Iowa City, can stop this without a whole lot of
effort, the Committee needs to look at the fallout of their choices. She does not want the
Committee to be pushed into an unacceptable direction.
Farrant said that she is impressed with the information Mollenhauer has received and would be
willing to assist by calling references. She added that it would be interesting to get different
perspectives on the references. Mollenhauer had already spoken with the Eden Prairie,
Minnesota reference. Other calls to references were divided by members as follows: · Ashman would call Cleveland, Ohio
· Goodman-Herbst would call Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
· Jones would call Dune Acres, Indiana
·
Farrant would call Northern Indiana Public Service Company and Sikorsky Airport in
Connecticut
Forbes would call Long Island, New Hampshire, and Monhegan Island, Maine
In order to be consistent, Mollenhauer said that she would e-mail everyone a list of questions to
ask--including requesting a sample contract and certification requirements. She asked the
Committee if this was too much time spent on one company. Members agreed that it was not.
Committee members discussed the curriculum vitae of the President of White Buffalo and
agreed that they should ask for further information on the deer contraception studies that the
president has been involved with.
Mollenhauer asked if members thought that she should start writing a the deer management
plan based on what the Committee has discussed. She said that she would like to include
commonly asked questions in the report. Members agreed.
Jones wished to include on the record that his neighbor maintains two acres of property along
the riverbank as a natural area. His neighbor was commended by the Iowa City Riverfront and
Natural Areas Commission for the way he maintains the land. However, because a deer gave
birth in this natural area, another neighbor has complained under the terms of the Iowa City
weed ordinance. Essentially the complaint demands that the area be mowed so that it cannot
harbor deer (because the deer are a nuisance). Jones said that he was surprised about the
request for the removal of a natural area in order to avoid deer. Jones said that the people are
actually the threat--not the deer, but the deer are making people take action.
Farrant said that another reason she does not want to see the Committee rush to embrace
another form of reduction is because she does not want the Committee or the City to appear to
be encouraging this type of hysteric behavior. "Kill them at any cost" is not the City's approach
and the Committee does not want to encourage this thinking. She said that the call logs from
complaints are showing that people are starting to refer to deer as "vermin" and "nuisances."
She said although the Committee cannot change people's attitudes, the Committee should not
Iowa City/Coralville Deer Mgmt. Committee Minutes
July 7, 1999
Page 5
be pushed towards getting rid of this "nuisance" as if it were a swarm of stinging bees. She said
that she was recently at a dinner pady where the police were called simply because a deer
happened to stop in the yard of the person who was hosting the party.
Mollenhauer said that there have been two comments on the deer line about concern for
children. One caller said that a deer jumped over a two-year-old's head. The caller was
concerned because deer are not typically in their yard. Another caller asked if a buck would
attack a child. She said as the deer move furlher into the City, people are starting to see more in
their yards in atypical areas. Jones added that the deer are getting more accustomed to people
and are not running away. He said that from year to year, the City is seeing closer interaction
between people and deer.

DISCUSS 1999/2000 MANAGEMENT PLAN:
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Keith Stepanik, asked if something was going to be done about the deer problem this year and if
something will be done after a decision is made.
Goodman-Herbst said that a decision will be made this year and the hope is that something will
be done.
Joe Wilkinson, said that he wants to be sure the money is there when something can be done.
Goodman-Herbst said that she thinks Council would plan for at least the same amount as was
planned for last year. Jones said that they told Council last year that this would not be a one-
time expense.
Shannon Nelson, requested a copy of the comments from the deer line. Mollenhauer said
Nelson could stop by her office. Mollenhauer said the City will make the comments a part of the
final plan but she has been continuously updating them as she has time. Until the comments are
included in the report, anyone can request them from her.
Clayton Foley, said that the Committee will be hearing from the Animal Coalition. He said that
he is bothered by the questions surrounding the group's intentions. He said that therewill be
open communication about how they feel and how the national groups feel.
Mollenhauer asked if the Animal Coalition will relay their concerns verbally or in writing. Foley
said that he did not know at this time.
Mollenhauer said that she had asked members of the Animal Rights Coalition to assist with the
City's educational video. Chad Gonnerman said that he would be interested in doing this and
would speak with the other members.

CALL TO ORDER:
Goodman-Herbst called the meeting to order at 6:52 p.m.
Meeting minutes from May 26, June16 and June 23 were reviewed. Motion to approve by
Farrant and seconded by Forbes.
LIVING WITH DEER NEWSPAPER SERIES
Mollenhauer indicated that the next article that she would like to work on is fencing, repellants
and motion sensors. The group agreed that these topics would be appropriate. Rhodes and
Ashman will review the article before publication.
TIMEFRAME OF GROUP
The City Council has a formal meeting on July 27. Mollenhauer suggested the Committee ask
the Council to set a public discussion for the August 24 meeting as this being the only meeting
held in August. Material for the meeting needs to be prepared for publication for August 16th.
The suggestion would include holding the discussion and considering the resolution to approve
the plan the same evening. The Natural Resource Commission meets September 9 in Cedar
Rapids. Ideally, the City should make their presentation at that meeting. If this is not achieved
the NRC review would be delayed until their next meeting in October. The Committee agreed to
strive for this timeline and recognized that Council can continue the discussion or defer
consideration of the plan if necessary.
WHITE BUFFALO REFERENCE CHECKS
Goodman-Herbst reported that White Buffalo is a non-profit sharpshooting company, which
eliminates deer through a couple of different means. It is located in Connecticut. Members ran
into a problem with several of the references due to vacations. Forbes did hear from Steve
Weber via voice mail. Weber said he would be glad to answer and questions. He spoke highly
of White Buffalo stating that they were very professional.
In regard Manhegan Island; Forbes was able to speak with Ms. Farrell Henderson who was
close to the program. The town has contracted White Buffalo twice over an eight-year period. At
this time the town does believe they have a complete eradication. White Buffalo will return in the
winter when there is snow to verify. Henderson indicated to Forbes that 15% of the human
population of this town has Lymes Disease. The area covers approximately 400 acres and has
15 deer per square mile. The kill took place in April in four-day periods with the use of feeders
and electric eyes. During that time, 54 deer were taken with 54 shots. The first effort cost $6K.
The goal was to go achieve a zero population in a two-year period with a budget of $16,400.
Henderson spoke very highly of White Buffalo. She said Tony of White Buffalo was a very
Iowa City/Coralville Deer Mgmt. Committee Minutes
July 12, 1999
Page 2
down-to-earth, articulate, and professional man. She also indicated that White Buffalo would not
take a questionable shot.
Mollenhauer spoke to Tony of White Buffalo for approximately one hour. She had contacted him
to get a sample contract. Tony said he would be willing to perform a site assessment and meet
with Council on Monday and then be present at Tuesday evening's public hearing to address
citizen concerns.
Mollenhauer said she spoke to the Mayor, and he said he believed council would give
consideration to a recommended private contractor from this committee.
Goodman-Herbst raised the question of litigation. Mollenhauer explained that efforts are being
taken to ensure that the language is very specific. Mollenhauer went on to say that the
ownership of the deer is another issue that has been brought up. Tony from White Buffalo said
that a case has never been won where it was claimed that the deer belong to individuals. Iowa
Code states that the deer are the common property of the people of the State of Iowa and are
under the jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources. Tony is willing to work with the
City to make sure that everything is in order to cover any possible litigation areas.
Rhodes asked about the $1,000 per day costs. Mollenhauer said that White Buffalo is willing to
assist the City should litigation arise.
Jones raised the question of the City's willingness to pay for a site visit and public hearing.
Mollenhauer said that this is something the city manager could approve and she would talk with
him about the expense being covered by the City prior to a contract being signed.
Mollenhauer said she spoke to Tony about the north central area that has been a concern of the
committee since it is heavily populated and there is not a large area of public property. Tony
said that they have worked in tight areas before and it depends on the restrictions that are
imposed on them. The Iowa State law says that you cannot discharge a firearm within 200 yards
of an occupied property, residence or building without the owner's consent. Therefore, a permit
could be offered to folks in perhaps a three or five acre area.
Rhodes asked if we had other sharpshooting organizations to research. Mollenhauer spoke with
Urban Wildlife Specialists and they have received the packet of information. They will get
information to the committee. This gentleman indicated that they would not be interested in
going through any litigation process.
LETHAL MANAGEMENT METHODS OF RECOMMENDATION BY DISTRICT
The group agreed that sharpshooting is the number one recommendation for killing of deer.
Mollenhauer said she spoke with AI Farris about the dart and kill method. As is the case with
sharpshooting, it is not an approved method according to administrative rule. Rhodes and
Ashman raised the question as to why this method could not be used if firearms are approved.
Fort explained that the dart falls under the projectile rule as opposed to firearms. He went on to
explain the superiority in distance and accuracy of a firearm over a dart. Goodman-Herbst said
the group has determined that is would not be useful for a large kill and that the group had
already decided not to consider it as a method for this year.
Goodman-Herbst said a request had been made that "bow hunting" be changed to another title.
Farrant said this distinction needs to be made so as not to give the suggestion that this is
Iowa City/Coralville Deer Mgmt. Committee Minutes
July 12, 1999
Page 3
related to recreational activity. The group agreed that the terminology should be changed to
"archery kill."
Other methods were discussed. Louis explained that a method used is Belize is a rounding up
of the animals and then slaughtering after the animals are corralled. The group agreed that this
is not an acceptable method for the purpose of this group.
The committee agreed that the deer are becoming tamer. The deer line has had calls telling of
the deer coming very close to humans as well.
Rhodes inquired about a timeline for preparation if a non-professional method is used. Jim
Jansen (DNR) said that Dubuque is preparing for training in August. The season starts October
1st. He said Cedar Falls is using the same timeline. Those plans are for the hunters to be
approved and tested by October 1.
Louis asked why there has to be a kill at a certain time. Goodman-Herbst explained that the
DNR does not allow an alternate time.
Rhodes then verified that the group is not considering non-contractual archery kill. Jones said
the reason is that the group is not able to get this into place in time for the hunting season. Tim
Thompson (DNR) pointed out that last year there were six certified trainers for archery. He went
on to point out that it should be easier to certify hunters since Fin & Feather has an archery
center. Tim also said that finding the area might be more of a hold up than the training.
The group concluded that time is not a reason to conclude that non-contractual archery kill (bow
hunters) is not an option for this year.
Jim Jansen presented information regarding wounding rates. He pointed out that no matter who
does the hunting, the method of the killing is the issue. There will be a wounding rate.
The group had asked for information regarding Dubuque. Dubuque did not keep records since
Black Hawk County observed such a low rate.
Farrant asked for an explanation on the term "recovered." Jansen explained that if a deer is hit
with an arrow and is found, that is considered "recovered." "Unrecovered" is when the deer is hit
and perhaps left a trail but was not recovered. If a good shot was made then a deer should be
recovered within 15 minutes to an hour. If a poor shot was made then the deer may survive. Of
the 1997 and 1998 figures, fifty percent of those deer hit were seen moving at another time.
Fort said that he believed that bow hunters should be allowed within the city limits where
nothing would be in place for the people. He also noted that if we do not start with the outside
areas, the deer will then move into the areas that have been cleared.
Rhodes further clarified this point saying that the fringe hunting would be a way to thin out some
of the over population out of the interior and prevent the influx of deer from the rural areas.
However, Rhodes said that she believed we should focus on the three areas that were
previously identified.
The committee voted upon the following issues:
Is this committee interested in recommending for 1999~2000 plan bow and arrow hunting
anywhere in the city at any time?
Iowa City/Coralville Deer Mgmt. Committee Minutes
July 12, 1999
Page 4
The group voted on the motion as follows: 5 no, 3 yes, 1 abstain.
Do you feel the method of archery should be allowed by the contractor should the contractor
deem it the most appropriate method in a particular area?
Louis: yes Jones: yes
Farrant: yes Ashman: yes
Fort: yes Rhodes: yes
Forbes: yes Mollenhauer: yes
8 yes, 1 abstain.
The group did reiterate that there are caveats to the private archery sharpshooter vote
concerning issues such as cost, wounding rates, etc.
Jim Jansen and Mollenhauer did point a lot of these issues are based on public perception.
Mollenhauer will contact Tony of White Buffalo and AI Farris of the Natural Resources
Commission concerning these caveats.
Mollenhauer summarized as follows:
· The committee decided to eliminate bow and arrow hunting from its 1999-2000 plan by a
bare majority.
· The committee also agreed that if positive responses come back from private contractors
regarding sharpshooting archery, that method may be used in the identified areas.
UPCOMING MEETING
The next meeting will be held on July 19th at 6:45 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
The group will plan on reviewing a draft of text for the 1999-2000 plan.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Shannon Nelson
Ms. Nelson indicated that last time the Council public hearing was over two hours long and not
all of the public got to speak. If everyone does not get to speak then it would not seem
appropriate to vote. Mollenhauer pointed out that the Council does have the prerogative to defer
the vote. The timeline is simply a recommendation from the Committee. Mollenhauer also stated
she hopes any concerns or suggestions would be voiced to the Committee now so they might
be addressed and/or incorporated.
Ray Hansen
Mr. Hansen voiced his concern that he does not like the group recommending only one option.
He indicated that something needs to be done to at least stabilize the problem. Hansen said he
felt it was hypocritical to say no to the only other option available for two years and then flipflop
based on defeat. He said by staying on this course the problem will continue to compound itself.
Jill Johnston
Ms. Johnston commented on her surprise that the committee believed that an animal rights
group could stop the deer kill process. She always thought it was a group of students who
worked very hard to make a difference. Ms. Johnston went on to suggest that perhaps if the
committee contacted the animal rights groups to work out an agreement that there would be no
Iowa City/Coralville Deer Mgmt. Committee Minutes
July 12, 1999
Page 5
bow hunting then the sharpshooting would not be stopped. She went on to point out that she
believed that there would have to be bow hunting at some point if the elimination process
continues to be stopped year after year.
Rhodes pointed out that the deer issue is not in local hands anymore. Local people did not bring
the litigation against the USDA. D.J. Schubert now has focused on this area and as long as he
gets information from this area, he will continue to pursue the issue because he has a national
agenda. She indicated that Schubert's agenda does not have to due with local issues, fortunes
or values.
Goodman-Herbst said that last week the committee asked the animal rights coalition for their
perception and for some feedback in this area. The committee has no idea at this point if there
are plans by the local Animal Rights Coalition to attempt to stop the kill.
Jones pointed out that the Animal Rights Collation did not come to light until approximately
October last year. He said he could see a similar group forming again this year. His opinion is
that these kinds of groups do have an impact.

CALL TO ORDER:
Goodman-Herbst called the meeting to order at 6:50 p.m.
PRIVATE CONTRACTORS
Urban Wildlife Specialists
Mollenhauer reported on Urban Wildlife Specialists, Inc.; a private contractor from Wisconsin.
Scott Ellarson of Urban Wildlife Specialists called Mollenhauer to provide her with additional
information regarding the services they offer.
Ellarson stated that if their organization were to become involved in litigation the cost would be
$70 per hour for testimony and it would be $700 per day for the delay. Mollenhauer explained
that Ellarson has testified in court before; however he has not been involved in litigation
regarding wildlife elimination. Ellarson is very willing to help out with this program and also
pointed out that since their organization is only three hours away this should be an advantage.
His estimated cost is $75 to $125 per deer removed. Mollenhauer reminded the committee that
the cost for White Buffalo was $200 to $250 per deer. These costs include field dressing and
transportation to the meat processor.
It should be noted that with Urban Wildlife Specialists, Inc. the city is obligated to procure and
prepare bate sites for the shoot. Mollenhauer stated that she felt the city was not prepared
to perform that part of the project,
Rhodes pointed out that this organization is significantly less expensive. However, Mollenhauer
stated that tasks such as baiting do increase the cost.
Rhodes also noted the total number of deer killed by Urban Wildlife Specialists, 700, was very
low. Goodman-Herbst said it appeared that some of the areas that this group has worked were
areas with smaller goals.
The staff will do reference checks on the Urban Wildlife Specialists, Inc. and will report to the
committee at a later date.
White Buffalo
Mollenhauer spoke with Tony from White Buffalo (Hamden, CT) regarding the archery kill. He
indicated that he would not recommend this method for Iowa City. He said it is typically
something used in communities where firearms are prohibited and where the regulation would
not be amended. Tony went on to explain that it would take all winter to make any kind of
reduction with the staff he has. To increase staff, he would possibly look to using local hunters.
Iowa City/Coralville Deer Mgmt. Committee Minutes
July 19, 1999
Page 2
The fee for this method would be $500-600 per deer because of the time involved. Tony also
explained that the efficiency is very low.
The question was raised as to how Dubuque was able to eliminate so many deer. It was
explained that it was a local hunt with 122 deer tags issued by the DNR.
White Buffalo Reference Checks
Steve Weber- Philadelphia
Goodman-Herbst reported that this community of 1.5 million residents initially wanted the USDA
to conduct two shoots on 1500 acres of woodland located within the city. The USDA had killed
deer at three of their city airports. However, the city met opposition from local animal rights
groups. The community requested a deer study and spent $30K to make the determination that
there was indeed a problem. The plan was to remove 125 deer from one of the areas
contracting White Buffalo. Steve said the total expense was $280 per deer.
This project, utilizing White Buffalo, was stopped by a court case. The city then turned again to
USDA to see if they could do anything to help them. The USDA said they did not think they
could help them due to the time factor.
The city did go to court and won the ruling. White Buffalo did commence shooting the last week
of March. They only had two nights to shoet and killed 43 deer with a total of 44 shots. One was
missed because the animal moved. There were no negative aspects of this shoot.
Steve went on to say that the court case was very interesting because although national
animals rights groups participated, their only involvement was through letters. When the actual
case went to court the only people present were the local activists. He said the cases presented
were very flimsy.
Philadelphia has been to court three different times, winning each time. This year they are going
to shoot again and plan to go to court. They will be using White Buffalo again. Steve spoke very
highly of White Buffalo.
Dune Acres, Indiana
Jones spoke to Dusty Stemmer who is the president of the town council. This community is
surrounded by federal land, national lakeshore on the south side of Lake Michigan. Initially, the
only method the DNR sanctioned was a controlled bow hunt. After receiving authorization to
sharpshoot, White Buffalo was contracted. White Buffalo determined that in the one square mile
there was a count of 80 deer. White Buffalo was able to kill 50 deer with 50 shots in the three-
day period. The cost per deer was $120 to $150. Dusty said that the reason that the quota was
not met was due to harassment of the shooters by local citizens.
Stemmer said that Tony of White Buffalo was very helpful at a town council meeting. She spoke
very highly of him in every aspect.
Peitz Wildlife Consulting
The company from Arkansas is sending material; however, they are not experts in
sharpshooting. They appear to be most interested in managing a bow hunt using local hunters.
TIMEFRAMES
The public discussion would be held on August 24 and it has been relayed that, in order to meet
appropriate timelines, council should consider the resolution approving the plan that evening. If
Iowa City/Coralville Deer Mgmt. Committee Minutes
July 19, 1999
Page 3
Council approves the resolution, the plan will be to the Natural Resource Commission on
September 9. If council delays consideration, the Natural Resource Commission does not meet
again until the first week of October. Upon all approvals of the plan, the contract must be
approved and other issues have to be dealt with before anyone could begin work. November 1
is a reasonable date to commence if everything is approved in a timely manner.
Tim Thompson (DNR) confirmed that the approved dates last year were 9/1/98 - 3~20/99 for the
project.
Mollenhauer also mentioned that locker availability must be considered. She went on to point
out that the council will have to approve no trespassing areas and closing of parks at certain
times. She reiterated that there is much work to do once all of the approvals have been granted.
AI Farris of the Natural Resource Commission recommended that city personnel join him in
meeting with State Attorney General's office to review all applicable laws and rules. This is
scheduled for August 17.
SUMMARY OF LETHAL MANAGEMENT
Jones summarized the plan as follows:
Sharpshooting is the preferred method.
There will be no trap and kill.
Professional archery kill was rejected due to cost and inefficiency.
REVIEW OF 1999/2000 MANAGEMENT PLAN
Review started with page 12.
Page 12- Item 2:
The recommendation of warning signs was agreed upon. Goodman-Herbst explained that
numbers are being installed this week on the reflector posts. Staff will be responsible for
reporting any problem with these posts and the Streets Division will replace or repair signs. If an
accident occurs, the number system will more accurately define where the accident took place.
Page 12- Item 3:
Rhodes and Jones will prepare an additional paragraph explaining how the numbers were
arrived at and this will be included in the background information.
Page 13-Item 2:
Regarding consideration of deer migratory paths. Language needs to be amended to instruct
City staff involved in street construction to review feasibility of deer underpasses is the
construction/renovation is in a district containing over 35 deer/square mile.
Page 11-Item 4
In the line stating" Does will be targeted, although ....."Changes should be as follows: "Does will
be targeted, but some bucks may be killed." The rationale regarding sex will be moved to the
section on page 10 in the committee conclusion area.

"The" selected meat locker will be changed to "any."

Questions and Answer Section
The committee agreed that these are classic questions. Goodman-Herbst suggested that
questions regarding litigation should be added. Jones suggested adding a question regarding
how other communities have dealt with similar issues.
Remainder of Plan
Committee members will individually review the remainder of the plan and get changes to
Mollenhauer by July 28th.
Public Comment
Thornberry questioned the committee on the number of deer that is recommended to be killed.
The committee explained that in the prior year, all areas of Iowa City were included in the
number to be eliminated. Mollenhauer explained that the committee recognizes there are areas
with over 35 deer per square mile that they are not being considered for killing. It is important to
submit to Council a plan that is reasonable in cost and contains an attainable goal.
Thornberry then asked about the committee's back-up plan should the sharpshooting program
be stopped with litigation. The committee explain that the Department of Natural Resources
recommended that bow and arrow hunting not be included as a back-up plan. The DNR said
that if a bow and arrow hunt were to be initiated at a late date, the plan would more likely fail.
Hunters need time and appropriate conditions to succeed.
Thornberry said that he felt that it is imperative that something must be done to eliminate deer
this year.
Ray Hanson
Hanson confirmed that the quotes of White Buffalo were $220 and Urban Wildlife Specialists,
Inc. quote was $75-125. Mollenhauer said it would be safe to assume that the cost per deer
would be $115-$250.
Hanson did indicate that there is concern within the community regarding the cost of the deer
elimination.
Mark Hanson
Hanson commented on the trap and transport concept. He did not understand why deer would
be trapped and transported. Goodman-Herbst said that the original idea of the trap and
transport concept was that this might be utilized in areas where sharpshooting was not safe.
This method was previously eliminated by the Committee.
SET AGENDA FOR NEXT MEETING
Meeting will be held on August 2,1999, at 6:45 p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 p.m.

Dear Doug:
Steve provided me with a copy of your recent letter and the University's commitment of
$1.5 million toward the renovation/reconstruction of Iowa Avenue from Clinton to Gilbert. First of
all let me thank you for your efforts and those of all the other University officials in supporting
this important project. The proposal to provide the funding over a few years from your annual
maintenance budget is satisfactory, and I will leave it to you and Steve to resolve those issues.
Thank you again for your commitment, and I will be directing this matter to be presented to the
City Council and I would expect their support.
Sincerely,
Ernest W. Lehman

Date: August 13, 1999
To: City Council
From: City Manager
Re: Northside Market Place (North Linn Area)
As we begin to move along with the final stages of our plans for the reconstruction of Iowa
Avenue, I initiated discussions with City staff and University representatives concerning the
walkway between Seashore Hall and the Physics Building. From Iowa Avenue it connects to the
Northside Market Place by crossing Jefferson Street directly in front of St. Mary's Church. If you
note the walkway, while it is not unattractive, it is somewhat secluded and generally not an area
that might be as inviting as it could be. I have asked the University and our staff to work together
to develop a more attractive walkway between Iowa Avenue and Jefferson Street, thereby
creating an entrance to the Northside Market Place. It was my feeling that the Northside Market
Place offers an array of retail and business establishments and could be considered somewhat
of an extension of our downtown. With the Iowa Avenue parking garage under construction and
the reconstruction of Iowa Avenue planned, this might be an attractive feature for an improved
economic environment of the Northside. Such an effort would also support our parking facilities
and in general provide for a shopping/business opportunity for our citizens and visitors. While I
have not given a specific figure to our staff, we will likely need to commit some financial
resources to this project.
We will keep you advised.

Downtown Benches (Salvaged)
You may have wondered where some of the old downtown benches have now found
themselves. The Department of Parks and Recreation salvaged the benches and parts thereof
and they will be installed along our trails as rest spots. The Department of Parks and Recreation
staff came up with the idea.

Re: City Park Rides - Drollinger
On Friday of last week Terry met with the Drollingers to discuss the possible purchase of the
carnival/amusement rides. The purchase price/value of these rides was discussed. We am
awaiting the Drollingers to give us some idea of to whom we might speak in order to determine
the value of these rides. It has not been easy. Terry is continuing his work, and we would hope
to provide some sort of a proposal concerning the capital acquisition of the rides in the next few
weeks. The operations of the rides will need to be discussed, particularly if we choose to allow
our area service clubs, human service agencies or other charitable organizations to participate.
Other capital investment such as fencing and in generally dressing up the area will be our
responsibility and will need to be incorporated into any of our financial decisions.

Re: Taft Avenue Chip Seal
We have received an occasional complaint/concern about the quality of the maintenance of Taft
Avenue by the County. The east City limit Of Iowa City adjacent to Windsor Ridge subdivision is
located along the centerline of Taft Avenue. Responsibility for routine maintenance Of Taft
Avenue is assumed by the County. Routine maintenance includes grading the rock road bed,
dust control, snow removal and other minor repairs.
Property owners within the Windsor Ridge subdivision have for some time been requesting a
chip seal surface on Taft Avenue to alleviate dust problems. To date the County is unwilling to
chip seal Taft Avenue. The Department of Public Works is of the opinion Taft Avenue should be
chip sealed and maintained as other unimproved streets within the City. The County is willing to
transfer routine maintenance responsibility to the City and the City can then chip seal the road.
In exchange, the County will assume routine maintenance responsibility for Dubuque Street
from Interstate #80 north to the Iowa River. This section of Dubuque Street is also half in the
City and half in the County.
We believe this to be a fair exchange and I have asked Chuck to finalize these arrangements.
We have other such arrangements with the County so responsibility of each is well understood.
We plan to proceed with this new shared responsibility.

Re: Intermodal Transportation Facility.
The Senate did not pass the FY2000 Transportation Bill before their August recess that
began on August 9. Our Intermodal Facility Project is in the FY2000 Transportation Bill.
The bill is currently held up in the Senate and is expected to be taken up when they return.
There are several amendments that are being added to the bill that are slowing down the
process. One of the amendments is a Transit Equity Amendment which if passed would
mean an additional 84.5 million in capital funding for the State of Iowa.

Re: Johnson County Hazardous Materials Response Team (JCHMRT)
At their August 5, 1999, meeting, the Johnson County Board of Supervisors approved the
signing of a 28E Agreement for providing hazardous materials response to a portion of
Cedar County. Previously Scott County had covered this portion of Cedar County.
The City of Iowa City Fire Department is a contingent to the JCHMRT, providing 9-12
personnel trained to the Haz-Mat Technician level. A typical response includes three
personnel that would respond to haz-mat emergencies in the territories for which Johnson
County is responsible.
The portion of Cedar County that Johnson County is now responsible for may generally be
described as follows:
West of Highway 38 from Interstate 80 north and south of 190th Street west to the
Johnson-Cedar county line.
The agreement continues from year to year unless terminated.

After meeting with the Committee, Dr. DeNicola will be available to the
media to answer any general questions about sharpshooting. He will then
provide an opportunity for the media to witness a sample site assessment -
what factors make up appropriate sites, review of safety considerations, etc.
Dr. DeNicola will also utilize his time in Iowa City to begin actual site
assessments to determine feasibility for sharpshooting, should the plan be

Re: Request for Agenda Item at July 27 Council Meeting
Dear Mr. Feick:
Your written request directed to the City Clerk requesting a separate agenda item to speak at the
City Council's July 27, 1999 meeting has been referred to me for response.
Pursuant to established procedure, the City Clerk inquired of the Mayor, or in this case, the
Mayor Pro Tem, whether the matter should be placed as a separate agenda item. The response
received indicated that the matter would not be placed as a separate agenda item.
You do, of course, have two opportunities to speak before the City Council in the public
discussion portion of the agenda.
Sincerely,
Andrew P. Matthews
Assistant City Attomey

...to attend a public information session directing improvements to the iowa Avenue
Streetscape
The City of Iowa City is progressing with the improvement plans for three blocks of the Iowa Avenue
Streetscape from Clinton Street, east to Gilbert street. Iowa Avenue is a significant piece of Iowa City's
history and currently plays a vital role in the imagery of the city. This is why it is important to
incorporate the concerns of the community at this early design stage. This streetscape
improvement project will include elements such as infrastructure, landscaping, site and street
furnishings, lighting, information kiosks, paving materials and sidewalk/crosswalk improvements. The
City has hired the design team of Brian Clark and Associates and Shive-Hattery, Inc. to complete the
design package for this important streetscape corridor.
The design team is hosting a public information session on Tuesday August 17, 1999 in the City
Council Chambers at 410 East Washington. The intent of this meeting is to generate and collect
information, questions, and concerns from all interested parties to insure a thorough analysis of the
existing corridor. This input is crucial to the success of the design solution and the longevity of the Iowa
Avenue Streetscape.
it is our iaope that you will be able to attend this public forum from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on August t7.
If you are unable to attend but would still like to provide information or ideas, please mail them to the
following address by August 19, 1999:
Brian Clark and Associates
500 East Locust
Des Moines, Iowa 50309

We look forward to your participation in this important phase of the Iowa Avenue Streetscape
Improvement Project.

Re: Capital Improvements Program - Twelve Month Report for FY99 through June 30, 1999
Attached you will find the Fiscal Year 1999 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) report for the
twelve months ending June 30, 1999. The report lists the FY1999, FY1998 and pdor years
actual, budgeted receipts and expenses and the total project to date revenues and expenses.
The revenue section (pages 1-4) shows the summary by revenue source category. The
expenses (p. 5-16) are shown by project within category at the summary level as well as a
listing of the projects in alphabetical order.
The last three columns pertain directly to the FY99 budget and include the FY99 actuals at
6-30-99, the FY99 budget and the budget balance.
Please note that the majority of the budget balance will be amended for and carried forward to
the FY2000 budget. Formal City Council action to amend for carryovers will be presented in
September 1999.
Please call me if you have any questions regarding the report.

Dear Area Resident:
A meeting will be held in the Little Theater at City High School on Thursday,
August 19, 1999 at 7:00 PM to discuss removing the hoods from the lights
lighting the south parking lot (off 4m Avenue) at City High School.
At the time the hoods were placed on the termis court lights, hoods also were put
on the lights lighting the parking lot. Several parents, students, staff and patrons
have expressed safety concerns in the parking lot since the hoods have been
installed. At this meeting we will share with those present the rational for
removing these hoods from the parking lot lighting only.

Thank you for scheduling a meeting with us. We believe that the results of the recent survey
show strong support for library expansion in downtown Iowa City and hope for your assistance
in offering the community the opportunity to vote on a project as soon as it is reasonably
possible.
Specifically, on August 23, we will be asking to move ahead with plans for a new library
building and public parking on lot 64 1A. The new hotel owners have stated they are not
interested in expansion involving this site. We are also asking you to approve expenditure of
$60,000 in funds for design fees at your August 24 meeting. Preliminary design work is
necessary to develop reliable cost estimates for a later referendum vote. The Library Board has
designated gift funds to pay the reimbursable costs of the architect.
Since we first brought the City Council a plan for an expanded library facility over three years
ago the need for space has become critical. Addressing the building needs is the top priority of
the new five year plan recently approved by the Library Board. Even under an optimistic time
line it will be three years before new space is available for use. Further delays will more
seriously affect the quality of library service delivered to Iowa City residents.
We look forward to our meeting.

Re: Library
At your August 23 work session you will be meeting with the Library Board of Trustees. At
that meeting, I assume you will discuss their proposal for a new/expanded Library project
and a proposed property tax bond referendum. It is likely you will be requested to provide
some additional monies to the Library for the purpose of architectural work and other
related general design in order to prepare conceptual plans and information for a proposed
project. As I understand the interest of the Library Board with respect to creating additional
Library space they will likely propose to the City Council the construction of a new
freestanding Library building on the parking lot (64-1a) immediately south of the current
Library building. You will recall I communicated with Meristar Corporation (owners of the
City Plaza Hotel) about their interest in the expansion of their hotel and the possible use of
some or all of the 64-1a parcel by their hotel. While they have renovation plans for the
hotel, there was little interest in expansion and thereby use of 64-1 a. I have communicated
this to the Library, and assume that the Library Board would plan to use most of the 64-1 a
site.
The future use/renovation of the current Library building is undetermined. A plan for its
future use, if the freestanding proposal is approved by the electorate, wil] need your
consideration. The financial implications of the renovation and the future of the current
Library building will also need your attention to determine whether the cost would be
incorporated into the proposed property tax bond referendum, that is how to raise the
monies to finance renovation upon determination of the future of the current Library
building.
In reviewing a capital project such as the proposed new Library, whether it be new or an
expanded version, the public investment needs to meet as many constituent interests and
2
fulfill as many community policies as possible, particularly if we desire to secure broad
community support. The proposed project as a freestanding Library is substantially
different from the original proposal; therefore, careful policy analysis should be undertaken.
The new Library proposal apparently no longer includes the community events center
component and will leave a vacant building, the current Library, for a decision on its future
use.
While I recognize and respect the policy position of the Library Board and their need for
additional space, the proposed plan is substantially different from the issue that was
defeated by the electorate and thereby alternatives need to be evaluated in order to secure
public support. We must also confirm our understanding of the operating costs and the
implications on our future budgets. These costs include not only the staff for a new or
expanded Library but what operating costs are likely be as a consequence if/when the
current Library building is vacated. I assume that the vacated building would be put to
some public use and, therefore, will likely require increases in operating costs to support
that use. These cost considerations are not now in our budget plan.
Over the last few weeks, I initiated conversations with Kirkwood Community College about
the plans for the future of the college in Iowa City and how Kirkwood plans might affect
their eastside location. As we are aware, Sycamore has lost major tenants; the Randall's
building is vacant; there is some interest in the part of Mid-America to make changes in
their Lower Muscatine Avenue facility; Oral-B has recently completed an expansion; and
other related community development issues occurring in and around this east side
neighborhood. Based on these many interests, I felt it was important to discuss with the
President of Kirkwood Community College how all of this might influence their plans. It
was clear to me that Kirkwood Community College will remain an important part of our
community and new investment in their Iowa City center is now underway. What resulted
from my discussion was an idea whereby the City would develop a Library project (you
can call it a branch library) which would hopefully support our Library interests, serve as an
investment in the area, and support the commitments to Iowa City by Kirkwood College.
The Library investment could involve renovation of an existing property or new
construction, depending upon the plan to be developed for the area.
3
Kirkwood Community College has shown interest in the potential for a community library
near their campus. When I approached President Nielson with this idea I indicated that the
city government has the capital finance capability (subject to referendum) to build and/or
renovate a property or project for library purposes. However, our operational financing
capabilities are severely limited by the state tax rate cap of $8.10 for our general fund.
With commitments we now have planned in our budget, public investment as it relates to
the ability to operate expanded services is hindered. As we discussed the matter further, I
proposed that Kirkwood Community College resources could be used to finance the
staffing of a community library. We would expect to build a fully functioning
community/neighborhood library and as such this type of project could support the
academic interests of the college. The design, staffing, and library collection would be
subject to review by Kirkwood and City Library professionals. The operation of such a
facility could be in the form of Kirkwood employees and/or through contractual
arrangements with the Library to be reimbursed by Kirkwood Community College. Many
details need to be resolved. Conceptually the Library, if supported by a favorable
referendum vote, could finance construction and library operations would then be carried
out by Kirkwood resources.
Before we conclude plans for a property tax bond referendum, I wanted to present these
ideas and determine whether there is interest in pursuing such a concept. It is clear that
the downtown Library is need of renovation. Some additional square footage can be
accommodated on the current site of the downtown library. The question I would pose to
the Council is whether a renovation/expansion project for the downtown Library and
additional Library space in the form of a branch library on the east side of our community is
acceptable, assuming operating costs are covered by another source.

US HIGHWAY 6 Corridor Improvement Project
As part of its Transportation Improvement Program, JCCOG lists the U.S. Hwy 6
from IA River Corridor Trail to Sycamore St. project as a STP funded project.
The description of the project includes construction of new trail, curb, storm
sewer, and median. It is the City's intent to construct the various elements of the
project in phases using separate contracts. The first phase of the project will be
construction of the storm sewer. This storm sewer will close the ditch on the
south side of the US Hwy 6 corridor and create a space and surface for the
subsequent construction of the new trail.
To simplify the bidding and administration requirements of these projects, the
City requests that the scope and description of the STP project be changed to
include only the storm sewer improvement. By this change, all of the STP grant
would be applied to the storm sewer component of the project. This does not
diminish the City's commitment to the trail component of the project. It remains
our intent to finance all components of the project, including the drainage, trail,
and landscaping elements, as originally approved by the JCCOG Board.

Re: Low-income Discount Programs
Council Member Dee Norton :inquired several weeks ago about the status of our program
regarding City eligibility for low-income service cost reductions, specifically, the
consolidated eligibility criteria and application process first discussed in 1996.
You may recall that Council worked from a draft matrix of eligibility criteria with which we
attempted to streamline the application process for the various reduced cost programs.
That matrix served to illustrate the differences between eligibility criteria for the various
programs, some of these reflecting differing federally mandated requirements for those
federally funded services. Local programs seem to better lend themselves to simpler
eligibility criteria. We thus concluded that the application process and eligibility criteria for
the various programs could be consolidated only to a certain extent beyond which it
actually would be more confusing and less relevant for the services involved.
By way of example, our recreation program discounts are based simply on income and
family size. City transit discounts are available to those who meet one of four criteria, e.g.
participation in 1) the food stamps program, 2) Family Investment Program, 3) Title XX
(Child Care Assistance), 4) SSI or SSDI through the federal social security system. One of
these same four criteria renders one eligible for a City utility annual discount. In addition, a
two year discount is eligible for those participating in a reduction in the previous year's
property tax pursuant to the Iowa Disabled and Senior Citizen Property Tax and Rent
Disbursement Claim program, as provided by state law. Participation criteria for federal
Housing Assistance programs are more involved.
Some are relatively simple, reasonably straight forward criteria which work well for the
individual services involved. Council receives periodic updates on the level of participation
in each of these programs and we try, where possible, to utilize the same or similar
eligibility criteria. However, the previous conclusion that identical criteria for all programs is
not workable continues to apply.

Re: Graffiti Update
Last fall you received an update report regarding complaints of graffiti vandalism received
since the enactment of the Iowa City ordinance and removal policy adopted in August,
1997. At that time a total of 52 complaints had been logged through the Police
Department and the Department of Housing and Inspection Services through August 31,
1998.
For the period between August 31, 1998 and July 31, 1999 we have logged a total of 16
complaints, one through Housing and Inspection Services and 15 reported to the Police.
Spray paint was by far the most commonly used material and the vandalism occurred
about half on public property and half on private property. Residences, schools, parks,
public buildings and structures, and bus stops were targeted. Two of the reported incidents
were confirmed to have involved gang graffiti.
Graffiti which occurs on private property is referred to Housing and Inspection Services for
abatement procedures. Graffiti on City property is removed according to our City policy.

Senior Center
Memorandum
To: Board of Supervisors
CC: City Council
Senior Center Commission
Steve Atkins, City Manager ,
From: Linda Kopping, Senior Center Coordinator ~~i~
Date: 17 August 1999 ~
Re: Response to Board of Supervisor's Questions
The purpose of this memorandum is to respond to several Senior Center space
and parking questions that members of the Board of Supervisors asked Senior
Center Commission member Deborah Schoenfelder at the August 10, 1999,
meeting of the Board of Supervisors. Following the meeting Schoenfelder
referred these questions to me and asked that I respond to them. My responses
are contained in the remaining portion of this memorandum.
1. What is the projected cost of a skywalk connecting the Senior Center
and Iowa Avenue parking facility?
A very preliminary cost estimate for the construction of a skywalk is $250,000.
2. If the skywalk does not happen, what is the feasibility of an entrance
closer than the one on Linn Street? For instance, a second door
installed on the alley side. Has that or can that be explored?
The possibility of installing a second alley level door on the south side of the
parking facility has been discussed extensively with Parking and Transit
Director Joe Fowler. It is my understanding that HUD requirements, the
location of parking within the ramp, the slope of the ramp on the lower levels,
and participant safety preclude the installation of a second pedestrian exit on
the south side of the parking facility.
Attached to this memorandum you will find a letter written by Fowler to Senior
Center participant Carol Horton. This letter details the rationale underlying
the decision not to offer pedestrian access into the alley from the parking
ramp.
3. What will the weekend parking situation be during ramp construction,
specifically for Senior Dining participants so that attendance will
continue? Will Chauncey Swan with a shuttle be available as it is during
the week?
Saturday Parking:
During Farmers Market season, which runs from the first of May to the end of
October, people coming to the Center on Saturdays for Senior Dining can
park in the Dubuque Street parking ramp free of charge for a maximum of two
hours. To take advantage of this opportunity, the person must have a current
Senior Center parking permit displayed in the vehicle and present the parking
attendant with a parking "spitter" ticket that has been validated by a Senior
Dining employee when leaving the ramp.
When the Farmers Market program is not being held, Saturday visitors to the
Senior Center who have current Senior Center parking permits can park in
spaces 84 to 115 at the Chauncey Swan ramp free of charge between 10:30
a.m. and 2:00 p.m. These spaces have been designated for Senior Cer~ter
use.
Sunday Parking:
On Sundays, the Chauncey Swan ramp offers open, free parking in all areas
except for those spaces reserved for Ecumenical Towers. Consequently,
visitors to the Senior Center are able to park for free in any available space in
the ramp
Shuffle Service:
The shuttle service is unavailable on weekends.
Detailed parking information has been mailed to Senior Center permit holders
and published in the Center's monthly newsletter.
What is happening with the Senior Center Commission's August 3, 1999
Space in the Senior Center memorandum?
Following a thorough evaluation of space availability, usage, and needs in the
Senior Center Building, the Senior Center Commission concluded that there
is no available expansion space, now or in the foreseeable future, for any of
the programs currently located at the Center. The purpose of the August 3,
1999, memorandum was to advise the directors and governing boards of the
involved agencies and programs of this fact and encourage them to make
their programming and operational decisions accordingly. Commissioners
suggested that modifications in current programming and strategic planning,
as well as relocation of services, might be necessary to resolve the space and
storage issues confronted by Senior Dining, Eldedy Services Agency and
Senior Center programming.
At this point, the Commission is waiting to hear how the governing boards and
directors wish to proceed and whether or not any of the agencies or programs
would like to have the Commission's participation in the creative resolution of
longstanding space concerns. It is the collective opinion of the Commission
that each agency and program must now decide its own course. Additional
programming space in the Senior Center building is not an option.
Has or can either the City or a County architect appraise the space in
the Center and how it could more efficiently be used?
In the recent past City Architect Jim Schoenfelder and Architect Intern Kumi
Morris have evaluated the Senior Center building for possible expansion or
remodeling to create additional space for storage, offices and programming.
Schoenfelder and Morris generated and developed numerous ideas, but none
of them were viable. While some of the projects were too expensive, others
were not feasible for construction, accessibility or structural reasons, or
because they would seriously disrupt current operations.
In conjunction with the evaluation of the building, Morris arranged for a
kitchen space evaluation by Bill Hutt of Hawkeye Foods. A copy of Hutt's
suggestions for creating more storage space in the existing kitchen area has
been attached to this memorandum.

Dear Mrs. Hodon:
Thank you for your letter regarding access to the Senior Center from the Iowa Avenue Parking
Ramp. There are several reasons there is no access into the alley between the Senior Center
and the Ramp. I will explain them in detail below.
Ecumenical Towers and HUD required a separate, secure entrance for their residence. Due
to the steep slope of the ramp at this point it was impossible to place two separate
entrances in this location.
· There are very few parking spaces that could access an entrance/exit at this location.
· To access this point a person must walk in the traffic lane. The floor in this area is sloped
and it is just around a curve that all vehicles entering the ramp must use.
The flat parking surfaces and handicapped parking places are located on the upper floors
adjacent to the elevators. The floors in the walkways at the bottom of the elevators are
heated to reduce ice and snow.
Security for ramp users is also a concern. Walking into an open well lighted lobby and then
using a glassed backed elevator to a glass enclosed lobby provides a greater level of
security for ramp users.
While an overhead walkway between the facility and the Senior Center is still being considered
by the City Council, the projected route of travel will be no longer than the old one from the lot.
In addition, it should reduce conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles as you will only cross
the alley at the sidewalk, not be required to cross at mid block and walk along the alley edge.
If you require further information, you can contact me at 356-5156.
Sincerely,
Joe Fowler

Re: 25' versus 28' street width comparison
Chuck, Rick, Karin, and I have reviewed the list of 25' and 28' wide streets that you
suggest would be good candidates for recording speed data this fall. Overall we agree it is
a good list of streets from which to do the comparison of widths. A couple of suggestions:
Two of the 25' streets, River Street and Westminster Street, are in construction areas.
You will want to wait until later in the count season to record data on these streets.
When you do set counters on these streets, please be aware of any construction
activities still remaining. If we have a situation where there is continued disruption to
"average" traffic patterns, then do not bother with the counts at these locations.
· Friendly Street (not avenue) should be sampled west of Yewell so that the valley
gutters on the cross streets do not influence the results.
· Rick suggested sampling a couple of cul-de-sacs, such as Wakefield Court (28') and
Hampton Court (25'). I agree this would be a good idea.
You are aware that the purpose of this study is to compare speed data and accident
history on 25' and 28' wide streets which have physical features that are as similar as
possible. Make sure your sampling is done as consistently as possible from location to
location when you place the counters on street. I would also like you to summarize the
accident record on these streets, even though all will have relatively low accident rates.
Once you have scheduled the fall traffic counting program, would you please provide a
schedule of when you anticipate the counts to be completed. Thanks for your help.

Re: Parking System Usage - FY99
The following are statistics and comments relating to parking system usage for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999 (FY99):
Paid hourly parking:
Hourly revenue:
System-wide revenue:
Decrease of 685,998 hours from FY98
12% decrease ($2,363,732 in FY98; $2,076,761 in FY99)
5% decrease ($3,742,553 in FY98, $3,573,068 in FY99)
FY99 revenue was 99.7% of the budget projection.
The majority of the decrease (637,131 hours) occurred in the Capitol and Dubuque Street
Parking Ramps. These two facilities account for 93% of the system wide reduction.
The biggest decrease was in the Capitol Street Ramp (516,434 hours). This is a daily average
decrease of 1,438 hours. A decrease was expected with the opening of Coral Ridge Mall and
the closing of an anchor store in the Old Capitol Mall. 40% of this decrease (208,454 hours)
occurred during the months of December, May, and June.
The Dubuque Street Ramp had a decrease of 120,697 hours. This is a daily average of 336
hours per day. Users of this ramp are primarily downtown employees and hotel guests.
On-street meters and off-street lots had a decrease of 135 hours per day. The Linn Street lot
usage showed a very slight increase over FY98.
In addition to the opening of the Coral Ridge Mall there are several significant factors that
resulted in lower hourly parking during FY99. Monthly parking permits in the ramps were
increased by over 100. These permit holders represent over 250,000 hours of paid parking.
The majority of these permits were located in the Swan Ramp.
Construction activity increased in the Central Business District. Meter hoods reserved for
contractors increased 73% during FY99, thereby reducing available metered spaces by 2706 or
24,000 hours. Transit ridership was up 7% during FY99, an increase of 87,355 rides. If 40,000
bus rides are multiplied by nine hours of parking, this represents a total of 360,000 hours of paid
parking.
While the Coral Ridge Mall has had an effect on the hourly parking in Iowa City, policy and
operational decisions have also resulted in lower hourly numbers. Monday through Friday
occupancy is equal to or higher than last year when the increase in permit parkers is factored in.
The decrease in system usage is most evident on Saturday and Sunday.
If you have any questions on this report please contact me at 356-5156.

Re: Cost for Chauncey Swan Park Fountain System
The total cost estimate for the installation of the Fountain is $ 83,000. The estimate
includes: the sculptural pad, mechanical equipment, sediment and electrical basins,
pumps and the "Hot Rok" with the back flow preventor and Meter, new plumbing lines
and storm sewer outlets.
The project is higher than our initial estimate due to exposed hidden conditions. The
water and electrical utilities must be brought on site; the initial estimate accounted for the
present on site utilities to be adequate. This design also meets the codes for an
interactive Fountain, for a low non-pooling sculptural pad, that is refreshed with potable
water every 12 hours. The water will drain to the storm sewer, which will also require a
new line.
This is designed for the safety of the Parks and Recreations personnel, the basins do not
require having to enter into confined spaces for maintenance, the pumps are accessible
from above, as are the meter and the back flow preventor.
The following information includes the construction costs of the sculpture fountain on the
pedestrian mall in October of 1979. The overall cost not including fabrication of the
sculptures, was $ 94,159.12 [total of 110,800.12-16,641.00 (cost of sculptures)].
With a conservative means estimate from the Historic Cost Indexes* the 1979 fountain
installation project would now cost $185,718.19, making the contemporary design, cost
efficient by comparison.
Thank you for your cooperation.

City High Tennis Lights
Per your request, I am submitting this memo to explain how the timing device works that was
recently installed, partially at our expense, at the City High tennis courts.
Evidently, some of the neighborhood residents have a misunderstanding as to how the timing device
works. When the lights were first installed, there was no light switch. The timer operated in such
fashion that all the lights would automatically come on at a preset time, presumably just before dark.
Similarly, this device would automatically turn all the lights off at a preset time (10:00 p.m.). The
switch that was subsequently installed now means that the power to the lights will be activated at a
preset time (again presumably just before dark), but the lights will not come on automatically;
someone must manually turn the switch to the "on" position. We have posted two signs, which ask
tennis players to turn the lights off when they leave unless other courts are in use. The system still
will not allow the lights to be used after 10:00 p.m., even if the switch is left "on". We realize this is
not a foolproof system, but it is certainly better than not having a switch.
To install a timing device as the neighbors have suggested (i.e., a timer that allows the lights to
operate for a half hour at a time), will not work. These are metal halide lights, which is the most
common type of sports lighting. These lamps require several minutes to attain their full power when
turned on. After they have been on for a period of time and then are turned off, they require a
cooling down period before they can once again attain full power. In other words, they take longer
to attain brightness when they are hot as opposed as to when they are cold. A hot lamp will take 15
to 20 minutes to attain sufficient light levels to resume play.

OPINION
Why you should support local landfills
just learned that my town's local
garbage hauler has sold the
family-owned company to a national
corporation. This local firm is one of
hundreds across the country that have
been acquired in recent years by big
companies, a
phenomenon
commonplace in solid
waste and many other
industries.
In my view, much is
lost when locally owned
businesses are gobbled
up by companies with
headquarters in
Houston (or Phoenix:
Chicago, etc.). But in
the garbage business
it's particula~y
disturbing. because
support for recycling m
at risk. Let me explain.
GUEST
COLUMN
Marie
DeVries
My new solid waste hauler not only owns
lots of trucks for picking up garbage, but
lots of landfills for disposing of it. I won't
be surprised when garbage they pick up in
Eastern Iowa heads over to Illinois, where
the company owns a big landfill.
Good deal, you may think. Less garbage
for Iowa landfills, including landfills in
Benton, Iowa, Johnson, Jones, Linn and
Tama counties, our regional solid waste
planning area.
The irony is that recycling and waste
reduction programs are supported by Iowa
landfills. By Iowa law, part of the disposal
charge, or tip fee, pays for such things as
recyclables processing, recycling brochures
and recycling drop-offs. This is a
reasonable strategy. The problem (loss of
resources through landfilling) helps pay for
the solution (solid waste reduction,
recycling and reuse programs, as well as
educational programming).
You could say the
goal of Iowa's publicly
owned landfills is to
put themselves out of
business or at least to
cut back on the amount
of garbage buried.
(Unfortunately, it is not
possible to eliminate all garbage, despite
the claims of some.) Iowa landfills, along
with Iowa communities, have made
progress toward this goal by implementing
waste reduction, composting and recycling
programs -- not by exporting garbage out
of state. Exporting garbage only serves to
pass the problem along to our neighbors.
My new garbage hauler's business is
trucking and disposal, not recycling and
waste reduction. They will use the cheapest
hole, probably their own. What to do?
In Eastern Iowa, residential' solid waste
is going to the local landfill, because most
Exporting garbage only
serves to pass the problem
along to our neighbors.
cities collect or contract for the collection
and disposal of their residents' garbage a,.
well as the collection of recyclables. But
waste from business and industry goes
wherever the hauler takes it, unless the
hauler is directed otherwise.
So, it's pretty simple. If you operate a
business in Iowa and you support
recycling, require your hauler to use the
local Iowa landfill. And, if you haven't
already, establish waste reducfioh and
recycling practices at
your office or plant,
restaurant or garage.

Program seeks
'fixer-uppers'
for families
By Anna Vorm
Gazette news intern
Tricia Heald had a dilemma.
Much like the chicken and
he egg riddle, she wondered
vhat should come first in the
,earch for homes for low-in-
· ome families -- finding the
louses or finding the families.
As housing planner for 'the
.:ast Central Iowa Council of
;overnments (ECICOG), Heald
s one of two people heading a
mw program in Eastern Iowa
neant to create affordable hous-
ng from homes remodeled with
.nvironmentally friendly mate-
ials.
The program, called Green
,'ehabilitation through Home-
~wnership (GRO), began in Jan-
tory when ECICOG received a
lousing and Urban Develop-
mat (HUD) grant for $60,000.
,ater the Environmental Pro-
oction Agency chipped in
"The program is not unique,
ut it is new and innovative for
ur agency," said Marie De-
'des, ECICOG solid waste plan-
ing coordinator.
The program is innovative
ecause two branches of ECI-
'OG -- housing services and
~lid waste planning -- have
· ,amed up, headed by Heald
nd DeVries jointly.
When GRO began, Heald said,
.m searched for houses to reha-
illtote. She looked for more
mn three'months, finally locat-
tg one, only to be disappointed
~.cause it was too costly.
Finally, Heald said, she real-
ed her first step should have
-~en to locate families.
"We want to ~'ehab the houses
mt are on the applicant's de-
Land," she said. "We want to
~ow where they want to live."
in July, the agency began
king applications from fatal-

about recyclable and

So far none have been select-
ed.
Some applicants were turned
down because they wanted to
live in urban areas, and GRO
only serves non-metropolitan
areas in Iowa, Johnson, Benton,
Jones, Linn, and Washington
counties.
Larger cities get funding from
HUD.
"The whole process .is very
slow," Heald said, and costly --
the agency is planning to lose
money in rehabilitating the
houses.
Even after fLxing a house up,
a house may sell for less than it
was originally bought.
In addition, the agency is
willing to spend more than
average on building supplies
they deem "environmentally
friendly."
"We're not just talking about
recyclable and reusable materi-
als. We are also talking about
energy use and being energy'ef-
ficient," DeVries said.
An example is durable mate-
rials that are not replaced as
quickly.
Durable materials can be
more expensive, but in the long-
term will cost less and be better
on the environment, DeVries
said.

ECICOG requests EDA designation
On June 24, 1999, the ECICOG board of
directors approved the Region 10 Compre-
hensive Economic Development Strategies
Plan (CEDS), a multi-county economic
development planning tool. The adoption
of the CEDS was the culmination of a year-
long planning effort on behalf of ECICOG
and the CEDS oversight committee.
The plan is the focal point of ECICOG's
efforts to have the six-county region desig-
nated as an Economic Development District
with the Bureau of Commerce - Economic
Development Administration (EDA). Such
designation will provide access to federal
funding programs through the EDA to cities
and counties in the region. EDA funds are
awarded on a competitive basis, and require
that individual projects stand on their own
merit.
The CEDS was delivered to the EDA
regional office in Denver in July. Accom-
panying the plan were resolutions from
each of the six counties supporting the
region's designation, as well as a letter of
endorsement from Governor Vilsack and
Lieutenant Governor Pederson. The CEI)S
and accompanying documentation will be
reviewed by EDA regional staff in Denver.
A final determination to designate the
region as an Economic Development
District must come from the EDA offices
in Washington, D.C. ECICOG anticipates
designation will be announced within the
next twelve months.
About the EDA
The EDA was established under the Public
Works and Economic Development Act of
1965, as amended by the Economic Develop-
ment Administration Reform Act of 1988,
to generate jobs, help retain existing jobs,
and stimulate industrial and commercial
growth in economically-distressed areas of
the United States. EDA assistance is available
to rural and urban areas experiencing high
unemployment, low income, or other severe
economic distress.
In fulfilling its mission, EDA is guided
by the basic principle that distressed com-
munities must be empowered to develop
and implement their own economic devel-
opment and revitalization strategies. Based
on these locally - and regionally - developed
priorities, EDA works in partnership with
state and local governments, regional
Economic Development Districts, public
and private nonprofit organizations, and
Indian tribes.
The Public Works and Development
Facilities Program is one example of a new
resource that would be available to counties
and communities in the region upon desig-
nation. Grants are provided to help commw
nities attract new industry, encourage busi-
ness expansion, diversify local economies,
and generate long-term, private sector jobs.
Among the types of projects funded are
water and wastewater facilities, access roads
to industrial parks or sites, port improve-
ments, technology projects, sustainable
development activities, brownfield redevel-
opment projects, and other infrastructure
projects.

Consumers, staff and members of the Board of Directors of the Evert
Conner Rights and Resources Center for Independent Living wish to
thank you for your support of our Third Annual ADA Parade and
Celebration. Through the donation of money, goods and volunteer
time, we continue to strive for the Centers' objectives of inclusion
into the community of persons with disabilities.
The parade had 38 entrees which represented non-profit
organizations, agencies, civic groups, elected officials and businesses.
We were very pleased by the communities' support. All of the
activities in the park were very well received, and despite the
extreme heat adults enjoyed the music and children enjoyed the
activities provided for them.
Thank you for the donations of money, food, supplies and time, for
without all of the different contributions, Saturdays' event could not
have been such a success.
Next year's celebration will be the Saturday prior to, or following the
actual ADA signing date of the 26 of July.

City Finances - Workshop
On Tuesday, August 31 at 6:30 p.m. we would like to present to City Council candidates an
overview of the City's finances. This is primarily to explain Iowa law, local policies and traditions
as they relate to City revenues and other fiscal policy issues. We would ask that you bring along
your FY2000-2002 budget: You should have received this document at the time you filed your
formal papers as a candidate for City Council.
Additionally the City Engineer will present a brief overview of infrastructure planning and issues,
such as what is involved in the decision making associated with water, sewer, streets, etc. This
is not a review of current capital projects but is intended to provide you with some of the general
issues associated with capital project planning.
We hope to see you on Tuesday, August 31 in the City Council Chambers. We would expect
this meeting to last about two hours. It is an open meeting and the news media has been so
informed.

NORTHEAST DISTRICT PLAN
...The Northeast District is located south of Interstate 80 (I-80), east of Hickory Hill Park and First
.... Avenue, and north of Court Street. The plan describes the history, current land uses, existing
environmental features and potential, future land uses for the district. It presents a pattern for how
residential, commercial, office park. recreational and institutional uses, and supporting public facili-
ties, including streets, sewers, stormwater drainage, parks, trails and fire protection, will be encour-
aged to develop in the district.
In the Northeast District, there are approximately 690 acres of vacant land zoned for residential devel-
opment within the corporate limits, and 96.5 additional acres of vacant land outside Iowa City, but
within the City's long-range planning area. The district extends east into the county about one~quarter
to one-half mile east of Taft Avenue. It is anticipated that annexation of the unincorporated properties
will occur over several decades or longer. The new neighborhoods to be developed in the district are
encompassed within an area that can be served by gravity sanitary sewer service; an area that is likely
to be developed in the future as part of Iowa City. (See Exhibit A: Northeast District Quadrants/Major
Property' Owners Map)
The Northeast District Plan is the third in a series of district plans to be included in Iowa City's Compre-
hensive Plan, Iowa City: Beyond 2000. This district plan was developed in cooperation with citizens,
who participated in property owner interviews, or became involved in planning workshops for the
district in March and April 1998. People from both the city and the county, residents of the district and
from the community-at°large, worked with city staff to identify positive features, address areas needing
improvement, provide historical details and envision future plans for the district. The neighborhood
development principles set forth in this plan will be implemented in compliance with City codes.
A NEIGHBORHOOD FRAMEWORK
Iowa City' is a community of neighborhoods, where planning is at its best when it is accomplished on
a neighborhood by' neighborhood basis.
The Northeast District is no exception to the neighborhood planning approach. In the Comprehen-
sive Plan, arterial streets often form the boundaries for the individual planning districts in Iowa City.
~rterial streets also generally mark the boundaries of neighborhoods. The Northeast District is bounded
on the north by Interstate 80, on the east by Taft Avenue, on the south by Court Street, and on the west
by portions of First Avenue. Rochester Avenue generally divides the district into north and south
halves with the Bluffwood and Hunters Heights neighborhoods to the north and Pheasant Hill and
Lindemann Hills to the south. Scott Boulevard generally divides the district into east and west halves.
l'hat is, arterial streets divide the Northeast District into quadrants, and in this plan, each quadrant is
treated as a neighborhood. The arterial streets not only provide boundary identity and separation for
each of the four neighborhoods, but are designed to carry the greater share of vehicular traffic at the
edge of each neighborhood, instead of through the middle of a neighborhood.
The four neighborhoods in the Northeast District are:
BLUFFX,~'OOD (NX, A,z/NEIGHBORHOOD -- The northwest quadrant (north of Rochester Avenue
and west of Scott Boulevard) is also located entirely' within the corporate limits, but due to its
rugged terrain, stream corridors, secondary access restrictions and land owner preferences, this
area has had limited development. Residential development has occurred in the southwest por-
tion of the quadrant adjacent to the Ralston Creek stream corridor, and a few homes, the Press
Citizen and the ACT campus are clustered along Dodge Street/Highway 1 in the northwest part of
the quadrant. The majority of this quadrant contains farms with pastures on the rolling hills and
some row crops, such as soybeans and alfalfa, on the higher, flatter terrain.
HUNTER HEIGHTS (NE) NEIGHBORHOOD -- The northeast quadrant (north of Herbert Hoover
Highway and east of Scott Boulevard), is located almost entirely within the unincorporated area of
Johnson County. This quadrant contains gently rolling farmland with the north branch of Ralston
Creek running diagonally through it from the northeast to the southwest. A seven-lot rural subdivi-
sion, a few farm residences, and Hi-Point, an 18-hole golf course, are located in the Hunter Heights
Neighborhood.
LIN DEMAN N HILLS (SE) NEIG HBORHOC)D -- The western edge of the southeast quadrant (south
of Herbert Hoover Highway and east of Scott Boulevard) is located within the city limits and is
being developed with a mix of housing types, including an assisted living center for elderly or
disabled persons. A portion of the southeast part of the quadrant has been annexed into the city as
part of the Windsor Ridge development for a mix of housing types and a potential school site. A
small salvage yard is located in the northwest corner of the quadrant. The remainder of the quad-
rant is located outside the city limits and contains rolling farmland, a few residences, including a
small subdivision along Hummingbird Lane, and a nursing home, the Iowa City Care Center.
PHEASANT HILL (SW) NEIGHBORHOOD -- The southwest quadrant (south of Rochester Av-
enue and west of Scott Boulevard) contains Lemme Elementary School and Pheasant Hill Park,
and has neighborhood commercial zoning on the northwest and southeast corners of the quad-
rant. This neighborhood is located entirely within the corporate limits of Iowa City and is nearly
fully developed.

HISTORIC CONTEXT
Planning for the district is to be accomplished with respect for its prehistoric and historic resources.
The people of the Woodland prehistoric period (500 BC o AD 1000) constructed earthen burial mounds
in this area of Iowao The State Archeologist's Office has indicated that there are no known prehistoric
or early settler burial mounds in the Northeast District, but has cautioned that there may be unre-
corded burial sites. Two sites of early prehistoric and historic habitations were discovered during a
survey prior to improw-~ments along Rochester Avenue. These sites, shown on Exhibit B: Northeast
Planning District Recorded ,Archaeological Sites ,%.~ap, are not considered significant sites in and of
themselw~s, but may serve as indicator.~ that other archaeological sites exist in the area.
Farmsteads began to be established in this district in the mid-1800s, and agricultural uses continue to
encompass the northern and eastern portions of the district. In 1976, Irving Weber, a local historian,
cited six "century farn~s" in Scott Township, which makes up the eastern portion of the district. One of
the "century farms" is the Hunter farm, located on the west edge of the Hunter Heights (NE)quadrant.
The 1912 publication Leading Events in Johnson County History by Gilbert Irish notes that Adam
Hunter arrived in Iowa City and settled in the area around 1850. The Hunter family has lived on and
farmed the land ever since. The Lindemann families, who own land to the south, are descendents of
A. dam Hunter. Little has been written about other early settlers or events that may have occurred
within the district, and few remnants from the early settlement remain.
It is known that in 1839, Lyman Dillon plowed a furrow from Iowa City to Dubuque as a guide for
.pioneers. The furrow is said to have generally followed the current route of Highway 1, and so is likely
to have traversed the northwest corner of the district, following the ridge top where Dubuque Road
and the ACT entrance are currently located.
According to a long time resident, a portion of a Rock Island railroad spur connected Iowa City with a
~mall settlement northeast of Iowa City called Digby. This railroad spur generally followed the south
branch of Ralston Creek out from Iowa City through what is now called Scott Park, and cut diagonally
across the Lindemann Hills (SE) quadrant. Although the rail spur has been abandoned and has virtu-
ally disappeared as agricultural uses displaced the line, a remnant of an original stone railroad bridge
over Ralston Creek is still located on the Jerry Lindemann farm near Taft Avenue.
Stone Railroad Bridge
A few, older farm homes remain scattered through
the district. A large stucco home once owned by
Henry Peterson is located on Hawks Drive on the
north side of Herbert Hoover Highway. This home
appears to have been built in the mid-1800s and may
warrant historic landmark status. Other older farm
homes in the area may also be considered historic,
and could be preserved within new neighborhoods
as development begins to occur around them. One
such structure known as "Bluffwood" was located
until 1993 on land that is now occupied by the Roch-
ester Hills development. The Gothic style home in a
pastoral setting was the country home of prominent
Iowa Citians, Emma and William Haddock. The Bluffwood Neighborhood Association is named after
this once historic site.

Bluffwood Cottage
Development of the Northeast District began in the southwest corner of the district after World War II.
Prior to 1 !)42, none of the property within the district was located within the corporate limits of Iowa
City, but by 1959, about 75 acres along First Avenue had been annexed. By 1967, most of the Pheas-
ant Hill (SW) quadrant and the southwest portion of the Bluffwood (NW) area had been annexed. The
[argely undeveloped properties north of Ralston Creek in the Bluffwood area were incorporated into
the city between 1967 and 1975, and a few parcels within the Lindemann Hills quadrant were an-
nexed in the 1990s.
ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES
Protecting the environmental quality of the district is a high priority.
The Comprehensive Plan encourages "development that occurs with consideration of ecological fea-
tures, such as protecting critical wildlife habitats, natural terrain and future green space." It supports
the "acquisition and management of watersheds, floodplains, wetlands and greenways," and "identi-
lication and preservation ofenvironmentally sensitive areas." These environmental tenets of the Com~
prehensive Plan coincide with a guiding principle expressed in the citizen planning workshops to
plan so that development respects the integrity of the sensitive features.
As shown on the Northeast District Sensitive Areas Map (Exhibit C), the district consists of upland
woodlands, portions of land with highly erodible soil, and two major stream corridors, the north and
south branches of Ralston Creek. Potential wetlands are located primarily along drainageways, and
frilly hydric (water saturated) soils are found mainly in the eastern half of the district. Historic and
archaeological sites should continue to be identified, and where possible preserved as assets.
]he environmentally sensitive features affect the planning and development of new neighborhoods.
'[ raditional neighborhoods with grid-patterned streets are not feasible in areas containing steep, wooded
r,~vines and extensive wetlands. Conservation-design subdivisions are encouraged in these areas so
that development is clustered on flatter, higher ground with wooded slopes, wetlands and floodplains
a~ protected amenities.

NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING PRINCIPLES
Citizen planning is instrumental in shaping desirable neighborhood developntent.
The citizen-generated principles outlined below are the backbone of the Northeast District Plan, and
are intended to be adhered to as guidelines for neighborhood development. The following neighbor-
hood planning principles evolved from the Northeast District citizen workshops, which were held in
N4arch-April 1998:
Preserve natural features. The citizen planning teams emphasized the importance of preserving the
natural beauty of the Northeast District. To protect natural features, such as steep, wooded ravines,
stream corridors and wetlands, the plan calls for:
Providing green open space areas or buffers between urban development and sensitive features,
such as woodlands, wetlands, and creeks.
Incorporating and maintaining a green open space buffer between Hickory Hill Park and urban
development to preserve the natural integrity of the park.
Preserving the 100-vear floodplain as a natural corridor.
Integrating stormwater detention ponds within natural, drainage areas, such as creeks.
Using conservation design principles to locate streets, utilities and structures in a way that mini-
mizes disturbance of natural features.
Treating environmentally sensitive areas as amenities.
Encouraging the use of single-loaded streets (development on only one side of a street) when
necessary to protect environmentally sensitive areas and create public vistas.
Exa mp leo f s ingle-loa ded s tree t

Provide pedestrian/bicyclist connections. The plan provides for a network of wide, accessible side-
walks and trails throughout the district by:
Requiring sidewalks along all streets, public and private, and a n~inimun~ eight-foot wide sidewalk
along at least one side of arterial streets, as essential elements of neighborhood development.
Desi gni ng sidewal ks and trail systems as an integral part of the transportation system to offer alter-
natives to automobile travel that provide reliable connections from the Northeast District to the
downtown and University campus destinations, and to other major employment centers south
along Scott Boulevard and north along Highway 1/Dodge Street.
Locating recreational trails along waterways, around ponds and through parks, and where appro-
priate, adding educational, interpretlye elements as part of the trail system.
Incorporating trail connections at the ends of cul-de-sac streets.
Planning for trail connections between major destinations, such as commercial areas, parks and
school.~
Build streets that enhance neighborhood quality. The plan advocates a neighborhood street design
that fosters reasonable traffic levels, calms traffic, and provides landscaped buffers along major road-
ways by:
[] Developing an interconnected street system that disperses vehicular traffic by using multiple means
of access into and out of a neighborhood.
Designing collector streets so they are not continuous through streets, but are offset in the middle
of the neighborhood, or separated by an intervening green square park, a school site or other
neighborhood gathering place.
Residential sireel with landscaped median
Cazebo green on s~ree~
Introducing green elements into the street system by Iooping streets around small neighborhood
greens, planting medians, landscaping along streets, narrowing streets so street trees can extend in
a canopy over the street, and providing single-loaded streets to open up scenic vistas and provide
public access to preserved natural areas.
10
Using cul-de-sac streets on a limited basis, such as where topography or other sensitive features
prevent practical street connections.
Planting an arboretum along Interstate 80 with a variety of trees to create an aesthetic entranceway
and noise buffer between the highway and residential development.
Encourage a reasonable level of housing diversity. The predominant land use in the Northeast District
~eighborhoods will be detached, single-family housing, but the plan integrates a mix of housing types
~hroughout the district by:
Using traditional neighborhood design concepts to locate townhouses and small apartment houses
in and adjacent to neighborhood commercial areas, at intersections of arterial and collector streets,
along arterial streets, and near institutional facilities and parks.
Avoiding large concentrations of apartments.
"] Ensuring that apartment buildings and townhouses are compatible with neighborhood architec-
ture in terms of design and scale.
Preserving historic structures within the district by planning development that integrates instead of
eliminates these historic elements.
Create and upgrade neighborhood parks by:
Planning neighborhood parks, three to seven acres in size, that are centrally located, and intercon-
nected with accessible trails, parking areas, play equipment and picnic shelters.
~'] Designing parks in association with trails, schools, neighborhood commercial centers, waterways
and wooded areas.
Improving or expanding existing public parks and open space areas for neighborhood use.
Increasing neighborhood opportunities for accessing open space by incorporating pocket parks
and smaller public or private open space areas (play areas, neighborhood gardens) throughout the
district.
Plan for commercial areas to function as neighborhood centers by:
Designing neighborhood commercial areas in a main street or town square style.
Including green space within or adjacent to the neighborhood commercial center.
Incorporating public services, such as a fire station, daycare (for children or elders), and civic
spaces within or adjacent to a neighborhood commercial center.

Concept Plan for Commercial Area at
Scott Boulevard and Rochester Avenue
Main Street Commercial Design
These neighborhood planning principles are integrated throughout the Northeast District Plan, and
have been made an intentional part of the plan for each neighborhood.
NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING
]'o guide future growth and development in the Northeast Planning District, the plan focuses on
the undeveloped portions of the Bluffwood (NW), Hunter Heights (NE), and Lindemann Hills
(SE) quadrants. It encourages compatible extensions of existing residential development in the west
and south portions of the district, located forthe most part in the Pheasant Hill (SW) quadrant, and the
area immediately northeast of the intersection of First Avenue and Rochester Avenue. The proposed
extension of the Windsor Ridge development in the central portion of the Lindemann Hills (SE) area,
the commercial and office park development on the edges of the district, and the natural, recreational
resource of the nearly 200 acre Hickory Hill Park on the west edge of the district are also considered
important elements of the plan.
The land use scenario for each quadrant illustrates how the planning principles generated at the citi-
zen workshops may be applied to development. When rezonings, planned developments and subdi-
visions are proposed within each Northeast District neighborhood, these planning/land use principles
will assist the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council in evaluating development
applications. They should also serve as a guide for developers and their engineering/architectural
consu Iti ng firms.
]'he land use scenarios are intended to be general guides; an indication of how development may
occur neighborhood by neighborhood. It is possible that specific land uses shown on the land use
scenario may not develop in the exact locations depicted, but decisions regarding developments
should adhere generally to the planning principles set forth in this plan.
Conventional Subdivision Design. The dominant form of residential development in Iowa City in
recent times has been conventional subdivision design. This type of development typically involves
the creation of building lots that are designated primarily for single-family housing and often exceed
the minimum lot size requirement. Usually, most of the property within a conventional development
!s incorporated into private individual lot ownership. Although public open space is not a key element
!n conventional subdivision design, open space is ensured for new developments in Iowa City through
the requirements of the Neighborhood Open Space ordinance. The street network may include con-
aecting streets, but often makes extensive use of the cul-de-sac street design.
12
Traditional Neighborhood Development. The Comprehensive Plan for Iowa City and the principles
developed at the citizen planning workshops for the Northeast District both support the implementa-
t~on of traditional neighborhood development - the type of development that promotes social con-
nections, identity of place, environmental conservation and traffic reduction within each neighbor-

hood. Traditional neighborhood development tends to create village-like neighborhoods with hous-
ing for a diverse population, a mix of land uses, walkable streets, public space that is a focal point for
the neighborhood, integrated civic and commercial centers and accessible open space. The plan
recommends a pattern of traditional neighborhood development with its interconnected grid of streets
in the flatter regions of the Hunter Heights (NE) and the Bluffwood (NW) quadrants, and throughout
the Lindemann Hills (SE) quadrant, a largely rural area. Forthe areas of the Hunter Heights and Bluffwood
quadrants that are characterized by a topography of steep, wooded ravines, the plan recommends
~onservation patterns of development.
Conservation Neighborhood Design. Conservation subdivision designs balance the protection of
sensitive environmental features with the development rights of property owners. The density of deve!-
opment is clustered on the more buildable portion of the property -- leaving the balance to be pro-
tected as a nature preserve or open space. House sites are identified to take advantage of views of the
i~reserved land, and streets are designed to access the house sites in a manner that minimizes disrut-
bance of natural areas. The resulting subdivision has more compact areas of development, but less
t~aving and more open space when compared to conventional development. Conservation subdivi-
~ion designs are especially appropriate in areas containing steep slopes, woodlands and stream corri-
dors - features that are prevalent in the Bluffwood (NW) area, and portions of the Hunter Heights (NE)
quadrant. The design concepts used to implement traditional neighborhood planning or conservation
neighborhood design are preferred in the Northeast District. However, conventional subdivision de-
sign that meets the planning principles set forth in this plan will be considered acceptable.
BLUFFWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD
Bluffwood, the 940 acre northwest quadrant of the district, is characterized by highly erodible
soils, steep, wooded slopes and a few wetlands. The north branch of Ralston Creek and several
of its tributaries run through this quadrant, and Hickory Hill Park provides a wooded western bound-
ary. Residential subdivisions have been developed in the southwest area of the district along Ralston
(_'reek. Two major employment centers, the Press Citizen and ACT, are clustered near Highway 1, and
a few farm homes are scattered throughout the rest of the quadrant. The majority of the property in the
Bluffwood Neighborhood is farmland, approximately 200 acres of which is held by ACT for future
development.
The future land use scenario for the Bluffwood Neighborhood reflects the planning principles devel-
oped at the citizen workshops. It illustrates a largely single-family residential neighborhood with op-
portunities for duplex and zero lot line housing to be integrated throughout, and townhouses and
small scale apartments located along arterial streets, adjacent to major open spaces, and in some areas
along collector streets. The plan indicates the preservation of stream corridors, wooded ravines and
wetlands and introduces greens within the streetscape and parks in conjunction with the sensitive
natural areas. Interconnected streets are proposed where feasible. Due to topographic constraints,
neighborhood commercial areas are not shown in a central location within the neighborhood, but are
placed nearby in adjacent quadrants at the southeast, southwest and northeast edges of the g~uffwood
Neighborhood.
Preserve natural features. Conservation design of residential developments is a key feature of the
future land use scenario for the Bluffwood Neighborhood. To preserve sensitive areas, cui-de-sac
streets and single-loaded streets are proposed where appropriate. Open spaces are shown in areas
~ontaining wooded ravines and boggy, potential wetland areas; as a buffer along the east and north
15
edges of Hickory Hill Park where it abuts the Larson tract; and encompassing the 100 year floodplain
along Ralston Creek and its tributaries. The pond on the Krall farm is featured as a focal point within a
green space across from a small neighborhood commercial area at the intersection of Scott Boulevard
(t'ormerly known as Captain Irish Parkway) and a street that tees in from the north, which for the
t:,urposes of this plan is called "Krall Boulevard." Scott Boulevard is illustrated not only as a major
t!~oroughfare for vehicular traffic, but also as a dam to pool and slow waters on its east side where two
branches of Ralston Creek converge. This pond can be developed as an amen it,,,, within a neighbor-
hood park as well as a stormwater detention basin. Keeping sensitive areas as natural green spaces will
enhance erosion control and slow stormwater runoff as this quadrant becomes more developed. It will
ensure the weaving of environmental features throughout the fabric of the neighborhood in a way that
enhances the quality of life of residents while maintaining natural corridors for trails.
Provide pedestrian/bicyclist connections. Pedestrian/bicycle trails help support pedestrian oriented
neighborhood design by providing off-road connections between key neighborhood destinations. An
i!~terconnected sidewalk system augmented by a trail system will provide opportunities for people to
walk, bike or jog to parks, employment centers, commercial areas, schools, and other destinations.
Pedestrian ways should be connected into the trail and sidewalk system that is being developed city-
wide to provide pedestrian/bicyclist access to other neighborhoods, the downtown and the University
campus. Pedestrian connections between the Bluffwood Neighborhood and Hickory Hill Park should
be enhanced, and a connection between Hickory Hill Park and the neighborhood park at the east
end of Hickory Trail should be designated. 3trail connections between cul-de-sac streets and across
r, atural areas will be important design elements in areas that rely on conservation development to
~,reserve environmental features. Trails along the edges of creeks, wooded areas and wetland bogs
will provide access to natural areas in the Bluffwood Neighborhood, while increasing recreational
c, pportunities.
Build streets that enhance neighborhood quality. Rochester Avenue and First Avenue are the prin-
ciple streets that currently serve the existing residential development in the southwest part of the BI u.ffwood
Neighborhood. Dodge Street/Highway 1 serves the ACT and Press Citizen employment centers and a
few homes in the northwest pan of the district. Principle streets often become the defining boundaries
for neighborhoods. These streets allow traffic from outside the neighborhood to move around the
edges of the neighborhood, but not through its center.
'[he extension of First Avenue has been the subject of much controversy in this area of the community.
'[his plan incorporates First Avenue as a necessary link within the community arterial street system. A
key to having successful traffic calming on local streets within neighborhoods is having an adequate
arterial street system in place. To this end, the plan calls for the construction of the Scott Boulevard
extension between Rochester Avenue and Dodge Street to be completed simultaneously with the
completion of the First Avenue extension. With the completion of the arterial street connections, traffic
burdens will be reduced on local streets within the nearby North Side and Goosetown neighborhoods
a,; well as for the Bluffwood Neighborhood streets, such as Hickory Trail. To make First Avenue more
amenable to the neighborhood residents, this arterial street will be designed to ensure safe street cross-
lugs. An embargo of large trucks should be implemented on First Avenue from its connection witt-i
Scott Boulevard south to Muscatine Avenue. A small parking area may be considered on the west side
of First Avenue to facilitate public access to Hickory Hill Park, particularly if no on-street parking is
allowed on First Avenue in the vicinity of the park. A conservation residential design is proposed on
the propen,,,, between First Avenue and Hickory Hill Park to provide a buffer between the residential
development and the park.
16
In the Northeast District, the proposed extension of Scott Boulevard deviates from the standard grid
pattern for streets in order to respect the topography of the area. The northwesterly extension of Scott
Boulevard is shown as a series of curves that align with the tops of ridges in the Bluffwood Neighbor-
hood, instead of cutting through environmentally sensitive ravines and stream corridors and continu-
ing north in a roller coaster fashion over the rugged terrain that the unpaved section of Scott Boulevard
now traverses. The new portion of Scott Boulevard should be designed to promote the flow of vehicu-
lar traffic between Dodge Street (Highway 1 ) and the intersection of Rochester Avenue/Scott Boule-
vard. A new street, "Krall Boulevard," is shown connecting north across 1-80 from its t-intersection
with Scott Boulevard. These street alignments take advantage of gender topography, will result in less
environmental degradation, and will facilitate the flow of traffic more so than would be possible if a
strict right-angle grid pattern were adhered to.
With the construction of the Scott Boulevard connection between Dodge Street and Rochester Av-
enue, the extension of First Avenue north to connect with Scott Boulevard, and Amhurst Street being
extended north from Rochester Avenue across the creek to intersect with streets that will connect
north and east to Scott Boulevard, the framework of an interconnected, neighborhood street system
will begin to take shape. The alignment shown for Scott Boulevard through ACT property varies slightly
from the route agreed upon by the City and ACT. This can be adjusted as needed in the future. The
extension of Amhurst Street across Ralston Creek may require public subsidy because of environmen-
tal conditions; the amount of development that is possible in this Bluffwood area is limited, but the
stream crossing connection is a critical part of the neighborhood traffic circulation system. The com-
plete street network will allow traffic to be more evenly distributed on alternative routes and will pro-
vide for secondary access for emergency vehicles,
The interior streets of the Bluffwood Neighborhood are designed so that they are not continuous
through streets, but are arranged in an offset grid pattern. Green spaces have been incorporated into
local streets through the use of green squares, neighborhood parks, loop streets and single-loaded
streets. This creates a pleasant streetscape and serves to slow traffic and encourage pedestrian/bicycl ist
activity within the neighborhood.
Townhouses
Sinai! Apartments
Encourage a reasonable level of housing diversity. The predominant land use in the Blu~'vood Neigh-
borhood will be detached, single-family residential. In areas containing wooded ravines and stream
corridors, a conservation design on cul-de-sac streets or single-loaded streets is encouraged. Duplexes
and small-lot single-family housing have been integrated into the northeastern portion of the neighbor-
hood, where there is flatter terrain and a grid pattern of streets and alleys is possible. With appropriate
street connections and design, manufactured dwellings can be incorporated into the traditional neigh-
borhood areas. Townhouses and small apartment houses are proposed at the edges of the neighbor-
hood, where this slightly higher density housing can take advantage of being located near major
arterial streets, such as First Avenue, Scott Boulevard and Rochester Avenue; within or adjacent to the
proposed neighborhood commercial centers, or adjacent to open spaces such as parks. This will
aliow for a variety of housing without directing vehicular traffic through the neighborhood.
V~.here density increases occur or lot sizes are reduced, the design of both the streetscape and struc-
tures within a development should receive careful review to ensure compatibility in terms of appear-
ance and scale. The Comprehensive Plan design guidelines for neighborhood development shou Id be used
to address issues, such as the orientation of structures and parking to the street, building mass and
articulation, the location of garages and driveways and the use of landscape buffers.
Create and enhance neighborhood parks within the district.
N~ural Open .Space/Buffer Areas. In the Bluffwood Neighborhood, the plan calls for buffering green
space to be provided between Hickory Hill Park and residential development on the south and west
portions of the Larson tract. One goal of this buffer is to minimize the visibility of residential develop-
ment from the park. This can be accomplished by shifting density on the Larson property away from
the park and aligning it in slightly higher densities (townhouses and small apartment houses) along the
adjacent arterial streets. A larger buffer area for the park on the Larson tract may be possible if the
property owner consents to a greater transfer in density or there is private and/or public purchase of a
portion of the property. No direct vehicular access to the park or through streets adjacent to the park
are proposed. Instead, the residential development nearest the park is shown on cul-de-sac streets and
pedestrian access to Hickory Hill Park is encouraged. Environmentally sensitive areas, such as flood-
plain and wetlands along Ralston Creek and wooded ravines, are preserved as open space. Conservao
tion of these areas will enhance natural habitat, and flooding and erosion control. Trails for pedestrian/
bicycl ist access are the only development contemplated within these environmentally sensitive areas.
Neighborhood Parks. Improved pedestrian access on the east and north sides of Hickory Hill Park
could offer some benefits of a neighborhood park to people living in the west part of the Bluffwood
Neighborhood. A centrally-located five to eight acre neighborhood park is proposed at the east end to
Hickory Trail on the higher ground north of Ralston Creek. A one to two acre green square park has
been incorporated as a centerpiece of the traditional neighborhood development shown south of
Captain Irish Parkway. A green space around the Krall farm pond offers an open space/gathering
place across from a new neighborhood commercial area. The plan also incorporates small areas of
open space, for landscaping and recreational space within the interior of residential blocks or within
street rights-of-way.
1-80 Buffer. A minimum buffer of 300 to 500 feet, about the length of a city block, between Interstate-
80 and residential development will soften the effects of highway traffic noise and pollution. Citizen
planners recommended that this area be planted as an arboretum, which could be used as an outdoor
classroom as well as serving as a noise buffer and scenic enhancement for residents and motorists.
Continued agricultural uses, including tree farming, are encouraged in the 1-80 buffer area. If appropri-
ately designed, office and research park, and public or private recreational uses could also be consid-
18
ered as suitable uses. With adequate screening, low intensity storage and warehouse uses could also
be designed to provide a suitable buffer between residential uses and 1-80. The Bluffwood land use
scenario illustrates these potential uses.
Plan for commercial areas that will function as neighborhood centers. At this time, the closest, existing
neighborhood commercial area for the Bluffwood Neighborhood is located at First & Rochester in the
Pheasant Hill Neighborhood. The relocation of the Hy-Vee grocery store creates an opportunity to
upgrade this commercial area to include a mix of neighborhood scale businesses, such as restaurants,
a pharmacy and small grocery store to serve the adiacent neighborhoods. Pedestrian connections
between stores and uses within this commercial area are encouraged. Other potential sites for com-
mercial areas to serve the Bluffwood Neighborhood include a small commercial area at the t-intersec-
tion of Scott Boulevard and "Krall Boulevard," and a larger commercial area at the intersection of
Rochester Avenue and Scott Boulevard.
Office Park Employ'merit Centers. Several hundred persons are employed at the American College
Testing !ACT) offices located east of Dodge Street. Almost two hundred are employed at the Press
Citizen newspaper also located in this area. ACT owns additional property that may be developed for
more office uses. These offices, as well as others, such as National Computer Systems, that are located
on the other side Dodge Street and Interstate 80 just outside of the Northeast District, make this area
one of Iowa City's major employment centers. When "Kral[ Boulevard" is extended north across Inter-
state-80, an additional connection to the commercial area to the north (Highlander, Northgate) will be
available. Office uses could serve as a buffer between the interstate and residential areas. The current
zoning map shows approximately 275 acres of office research park zoning adjacent to the interstate.
Given the past rate of development of such uses, this amount of land devoted to office park uses may
be unreal istic. Alternative uses, such as residential or the buffer area uses mentioned above, should be
considered in this area.
Although some of the workers employed in this area live in the Northeast District, most commute from
other parts of the community and even from beyond Johnson County. When development occurs to
the east of the ACT campus, the plan proposes neighborhoods with a variety of housing types, so that
employees can find housing close to work. Shorter commuting distances would cut down on the
length of vehicle trips and would allow some employees to walk or bike to work.
HUNTER HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD
Most of the properties within the 590 acre Hunter Heights (NE) quadrant are located in the
unincorporated area of Johnson County. In many respects, the west portion of this quadrant is
likely to become an extension of the growth and development in the adjoining Bluffwood area. Tradi-
tional neighborhood development will be possible on most of the properties within this quadrant. The
1-80 corridor, a golf course and farms form the land uses for the north and east portions of this neigh-
borhood.
Preserve natural features. The north branch of Ralston Creek and a tributary to the creek run diago-
nal ly from northeast to southwest across the quadrant. Approximately 25 acres of potential wetlands
are clustered along Ralston Creek. The other sensitive features within this quadrant are located along
Ralston Creek, and include 20 acres of upland woods, 11 acres of steep slopes, and 6 acres of fully
hydric soils. As development occurs, these environmentally sensitive features should be incorporated
as protected amenities. Development should occur in a way that minimizes flooding and soil erosion,
and maximizes wildlife habitat, aquifer absorption and scenic preservation. The areas of fully hydric
19
.~oi ls, which are likely to have a high water table, and may include wetlands, are best treated as envi-
tonmental amenities within a development. Development of these properties can occur if there are no
ctelineated wetlands, but may req u ire special construction practices for streets, buildings and stormwater
management facilities. The plan recommends implementing a storm water retention dam where two
!~ranches of Ralston Creek meet. Scott Boulevard is shown as forming a dam for this basin, which
would be used to control flooding that is being experienced downstream.
Provide pedestrian/bicyclist connections. Trails should be developed along the Ralston Creek stream
corridors that flow into the Bluffwood neighborhood, and eventually to Hickory Hill Park. A trail
connected to the trail along Ralston Creek should run north-south, along the western edge of the
Point golf course and into the Lindemann Hills neighborhood, to connect with a trail along the south
branch of Ralston Creek. As land along Herbert Hoover Highway is annexed, a trail along the high-
way should be developed, while preserving the prairie plantings within the right-of-way. This trail max,
,axtend to West Branch in the future. It is also possible to construct a trail within the buffer area along
the south side of 1-80. An interconnected sidewalk system along all streets, and pedestrian connec~
lions between culode-sac streets and other areas, wil! also be important elements of creating a pedes-
trian-friendly neighborhood.
Build streets that enhance neighborhood quality. In areas with sensitive features, streets will need to
' ride the ridge' and often will be single-loaded and/or cul-de-sac streets. Interconnected street patterns
c~re shown on the flatter, less sensitive areas of the Hunter Heights Neighborhood. The traffic-calming
street design principles which are proposed for the Bluffwood neighborhood can also be applied to
Hunter Heights.
Encourage a reasonable level of housing diversity. As in the rest of the district, single-family resi-
dences will be the predominate form of housing in the Hunter Heights Neighborhood. Moderate
density housing, such as townhouses and small apartments may be introduced along the arterial streets,
near commercial areas and adjacent to the golf course and the storm water detention basin park.
Preservation of the older, historic farm houses, such as the Peterson home, is encouraged within the
newly-developing neighborhood.
Create neighborhood parks. The storm water detention area can become a park with the stormwater
pond as an amenity. A linear greenway with trails can be introduced along the Ralston Creek. The Hi-
Point golf course serves as a private recreation area that is easily accessible by the residents of the
Hunter Heights Neighborhood. The 75 acre golf course will also buffer development within this quad-
rant from 1-80. As the properties adjacent to 1-80 are developed, appropriate buffers should be incor-
porated between the new development and the highway to lessen the effects of traffic noise on resi-
dential uses. The buffer area along 1-80 may be another area that could be used as a public or private
recreation area.
Plan for commercial areas in the district to function as neighborhood centers. A neighborhood
commercial center is proposed to develop at the intersection of Kral l Boulevard and Scott Boulevard.
T!~is commercial center should be smaller in scale than the commercial area being proposed at the
intersection of Scott Boulevard and Rochester Avenue as it will serve a smaller geographical area and
v~ ill likely draw fewer customers from outside of the neighborhood. The center should be developed
in a main street or town square design and have a pedestrian orientation. Although located along an
arterial street, on-street parking should be incorporated into the design of the center to help minimize
the amount of off-street parking. On the future land use scenario, "Krall Boulevard" is proposed to
2O
terminate into Scott Boulevard. Because traffic along "Kral l Boulevard" would be moving more slowly
in this area, on-street parking would not significantly impede the flow of traffic along the street, and
could act as a traffic calming measure.
Uses appropriate for this commercial center might include a convenience store, a small restaurant,
small shops and service uses, or a day care facility. The plan incorporates a potential institutional use
along Scott Boulevard, which could be a fire station, day care center or church. The existing pond to
the south of this intersection could serve as the centerpiece of a park associated with the commercial
center. The park would provide a visual terminus for "Krall Boulevard" as one travels southwest on it
toward Scott Boulevard. Residential dwellings on the upper floors of commercial buildings and in
townhouses and small apartment buildings surrounding the commercial center should help provide a
nearby population to support the businesses.
LINDEMANN HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD
The 690 acre Lindemann Hills Neighborhood is located east of Scott Boulevard and south of
Herbert Hoover Highway. Except for the Windsor Ridge (Arlington) property in the south part of
the quadrant and land immediately east of Scott Boulevard, located within Iowa City, the majority/of
the properties in the Lindemann Hills area are farmland in Johnson County. In this largely agricultural
area of gently rolli ng hill s, the plan proposes traditional neighborhood development that has a central
focal point - a two acre neighborhood green with streets radiating diagonally from this green center
toward the edges of the quadrant. The design of radiating streets may be modified to resemble street
patterns associated with other neighborhood squares in the community, such as College Green, with-
out compromising the neighborhood development pattern proposed for the Lindemann Hills Neigh-
borhood by the citizen planning workshops. The plan features a modified grid pattern that keys in on
the green square as a neighborhood focal point, and has an emphasis on interconnected streets and
walkways. The fairly compact design of the plan for the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood also depicts
parks within three to four blocks of every residence, protection of stream corridors, and the reservation
of a potential school site.
Preserve natural features. The south branch of Ralston Creek is located west of and roughly parallel
to Taft Avenue in the east part of the quadrant. A tributary to the south branch runs north-south in the
western portion of the district, where it joins Ralston Creek just outside the southwest corner of
Lindemann Hills. This quadrant also contains small areas of woods (12 acres), hydric soils (12 acres),
and potential wetlands (2 acres). The two wooded areas are located in the southwest part of the quad-
rant on residential lots, and near the northeast corner of the quadrant. The potential wetlands and
hydric soils are primarily associated with Ralston Creek but are also found in the middle of the north
half of Lindemann Hills, and in conjunction with the sewage lagoons for the Iowa City Care Facility.
As development occurs in this quadrant, woodlands, wetlands, stream corridors and hydric soils should
be incorporated into parks and open spaces to be used as outdoor classrooms and trail corridors, to
provide wildlife habitat and natural scenic areas, and where appropriate, to serve as stormwater man-
agement areas. There may be opportunities for natural connections to the potential elementary school
site north of Court Street in the Windsor Ridge development, and to an expanded Scott Park along
Ralston Creek south of Court Street. Development should integrate sensitive features, including groves
of trees and wooded areas, as amenities, and where possible, make natural landscapes available for
public access. For example, the plan depicts single-loaded streets adjacent to the Ralston Creek stream
corridor. This will allow for the creek and greenway corridor to be open to the entire neighborhood,
not just available to a small percentage of residents, whose private yards might otherwise back onto
the waterway.
Provide pedestrian/bicyclist connections. The interconnected street and sidewalk system proposed
for the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood will further the goal of having multiple pedestrian/bicyclist
connections, and having parks and neighborhood commercial areas that are accessible by foot or
bike, as v, ell as by car. Accessible pathways should be constructed within parks and the central green
square. Where linear parks are created along drainageways, there will be opportunities to provide
recreational trails. These greenway trails should be designed to tie into the sidewalk system and to
major destinations adjacent to the trail, such as the school site. The remnants of the historic stone rail
road bridge over Ralston Creek could be incorporated into the trail system.
Encourage streetscapes that emphasize the residet?tial appearance of homes
rather than garages and paved front yards.
Build streets that enhance neighborhood quality. In contrast to the rugged terrain that is prevalent in
the Bluffwood Neighborhood and portions of the Hunter Heights Neighborhood, the gentle rolling
hills of the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood allow for a highly interconnected system of streets, alleys,
and sidewalks. The central green neighborhood square has been located in the middle of Lower West
Branch Road, a collector street, to slow vehicular traffic in the middle of the neighborhood, and em-
phasize the importance of this green focal point within the neighborhood. Traditional neighborhood
development with a modified grid street system will help disperse vehicular traffic more evenly through-
out the quadrant. Alleys may be used to provide adequate access to utilities and parking while mini-
mizing paved areas and extensive curb cuts in front of residences. Alleys are less useful in cases where
marked topographical changes exist or large lot development is proposed.
To encourage pedestrian activity and neighborhood interaction, local streets should be enhanced by
narrowing the pavement, introducing traffic calming measures, and providing trees and attractive
lighting along the streets. This type of local street design will discourage high traffic speeds and allow
for a tree canopy to extend over the street. Sidewalks along all streets should tie into local trails. Green
elements such as planted medians, landscaping, and small neighborhood greens should be designed
to soften the appearance of the streets and enhance the quality of the neighborhood. Single-loaded
streets along stream corridors and around parks should be considered wherever feasible.
Encourage a reasonable level of housing diversity. The unincorporated portion of this largely rural
quadrant currently contains a modest number of residences, such as farm homes, residential acreages,
a county residential subdivision along Hummingbird Lane and a long-term care facility. In the city
[in~its along the east side of Scott Boulevard, single-family housing and an assisted living facility have
2g
been developed, and multi-family units are being proposed. The Windsor Ridge development in the!
south central area of the quadrant has proposed a mix of housing types. As in the other quadrants,
future development of the Lindenann Hills Neighborhood is expected to be prinlari ly, single-family
housing. Estate homes, duplexes, live-work units, zero lot-line homes, small apartments, townhouses,
manul:actured housing and neighborhood-oriented comreercial uses are also proposed to be into>
grated into the neighborhood.
As in the other neighborhoods, townhouses and ~mall apartment buildings should be located at major
intersections, nedr con3reercial areas, and adjacent to park[and or open space areas. Apartment houses
are intended to be 5n'lal[ in scale and size, limited in number within anT' singte area of the neighbor-
hood, af~d designed to fit in corrlpatibiy with nearby residences. Live-work units with sntail stores and
offices oil the ground floor and residentia[ units above are proposed adjacent to the central green
square. The~e live-work units may be established in townhouses, duplexes, small aparm~ent houses or
detached single-family residences that are compatible in scale and mass with the surrounding residerl-
tial development. Higher density residential buildings may be considered if appropriately designed for
this highly visible focal point of the Lindenann Hil Is Neighborhood. if the market is there to support it,
the area around ti~e central neighborhood square can fulfill a neighborhoodaariented commercia[
demand, and if not, the commercial level of the structures call be used for housing overlookrag the
square.
The use of alleys tot garag~ access wilt facilitate the possibility ~or placing residence~ on small ~u
medium-sized lots, This will allow moderately-priced housing to be incorporated into the I~eighbor-
hood in a way that does not overwhelnq the residential character that is desired. Existing estates, resi-
dences and farm propeaies carl l)e retained withi n the developing neighborhood unless the owners o~
these properties wish to further develop their land. Older, historic farm houses are shown as being
preserved with in the context of the newly-developing areab of the neighborhood.
Create neighborhood parks. The focal point of tile Lindenann Hills Neighbod~ood will be a central
square, which will function as the formal center of the t~eighburhood. The streetb radiating out from
this square and the live-work residences ~urrounding the square will emphasizethe importance of this
centerpiece of the quadrant. The central square should be designed to be an accessible place for
neighborhood gatheri ngs, informal games and sports, picn ic.~ and other neighbothood-oriemed events.

[This 500 acre quadrant is nearly fully developed. It contains neighborhood commercial zones
at the intersection of Scott Boulevard and Court Street and at First Avenue and Rochester Av-
enue, a mix of housing types, Lemme elementary school and Pheasant Hill Park.
Preserve natural features. A few properties along the south side of Rochester Avenue remain unde-
veloped, including the 20 acre Stevens property, which contains approximately five acres of wood-
lands and one acre of a potential wetland. The southeastern corner of this property contains a wood-
land and a potential wetland, which ideally will be preserved and incorporated into a neighborhood
park. Because of this environmentally sensitive area it may not be possible to extend Lake Forest
Avenue which currently ends on the east property line.
Provide pedestrian/bicyclist connections. Steps should be taken to create accessible pedestrian routes
without gaps throughout the neighborhood. This will require construction of new sidewalks on First
Avenue, which lacks walks along much of its west side. Rochester Avenue also has gaps in its side-
walk system, many of which should be upgraded to eight foot wide walks, to meet current design
standards for an arterial street sidewalk. Also, safe crosswalks in commercial areas and near schools
should be provided. In developing or redeveloping areas, pedestrian pathways should be incorpo-
rated into the design, and trail connections to other quadrants in the district and adjacent areas of the
community should be considered.
Build streets that enhance neighborhood quality. The street pattern is well-established in the Pheas-
ant Hill quadrant, except for the Stevens property south of Rochester Avenue. Street access to this area
will be from Westminster Street from the south, Lower West Branch Road from the east and possibly
Green Mountain Drive from the west. A street access to Rochester Avenue might also be possible if it
~s designed to provide better circulation for neighborhood traffic without directing through traffic into
the area. Traffic calming measures such as landscaped medians, may be considered on Washington
Street, an overly wide collector street that bisects this neighborhood.
Encourage a reasonable level of housing diversity. Although most of the Pheasant Hill Neighborhood
is developed, there are two sizable parcels where additional development is expected to occur. The
largest is the 20 acre tract located on the south side of Rochester Avenue west of Amh urst Street. The
area is currently zoned for low density single-family residential development, and contains a farm
house and agricultural buildings. It is likely that this area will develop as a single-family residential
subdivision similar to the housing patterns that surround it. A cluster style development might also be
considered for a portion of the property if it is well designed according to the neighborhood concepts
contained in the Comprehensive Plan. Clustering would allow for more open space and would add
some varie,~y to the housing styles in the neighborhood.
Arbor Hill is a planned development for senior housing located at the northeast intersection of Green
Mountain Drive and Washington Street. The original plan was for 66 units in 15 buildings Only six
buildings with a total of 34 units have been built. Potentially, up to 30 additional units could be
constructed on the property. These could be single-family homes or duplex residences, and with the
approval of a planned housing development, a cluster of small apartments, townhouses or eider con-
gregate residences could be accommodated on this property.
Create and enhance neighborhood parks within the district. Because the Pheasant Hill neighbor-
~ood has a shortage of neighborhood open space, consideration should be given to requiring the
dedication of parkland whenever further development occurs in the neighborhood. The Stevens'
property south of Rochester Avenue provides a good, potential location for a three to five acre park. It
contains some flat land that could be developed for active recreation as well as some natural areas that
could be preserved for their scenic beauty. Access to the park could be provided off Westminster
Street and new streets within the subdivision.
Plan for commercial areas that will function as neighborhood centers. The Pheasant Hill neighbor-
hood contains existing commercial areas at First and Rochester and at Scott Court. An opportunity
exists to upgrade the center at First and Rochester to include businesses that serve the needs of sur-
rounding neighborhoods. The center at Scott Court is just starting to develop. It has several vacant lots,
which provide opportunities for businesses and services that will cater to adjacent neighborhoods.
A, partments on the upper floors of the commercial buildings will increase the variety of housing in the
r~eighborhood and contribute to the market for the businesses.
NEIGHBORHOOD FACILITIES & SERVICES
~q Trar~sit. Currently the Rochester and Court Hill routes provide bus service to the existing residen-
tial areas in Iowa City. There is potential for a loop route in the Bluffwood (NW) quadrant to North
Dodge Street, if First Avenue is extended and development begins to build out and create enough
demand for bus service. When sufficient density and employment centers locate in this area, other
transit route extensions should be considered.
Sanitary Sewer Service. The sanitary sewer system is not adequate at this time for full development
of the district. Two hundred acres became sewerable in the south quadrants of the district with the
completion of the Southeast Interceptor Sewer in the late 1980s. The remaining areas to be devel-
oped in the Pheasant Hill (SW) and Lindemann Hills (SE) quadrants will require the extension of
additional trunk lines off the Southeast Interceptor before development can occur. In addition, an
upgrade will be needed eventually between Court Hill Park and Scott Boulevard.
The Hickory Hill Trunk Sewer will serve the majority of the north part of the district (Bluffwood
(NW) and Hunters Heights (NE). Because of a capacity constraint in the downstream portion of the
trunk sewer, further development of the area north of Rochester Avenue will require an upgrade to
the Hickory Hill trunk line sanitary sewer between the Hickory Hill Park Stormwater Retention
Facility and Glendale Avenue. Development north of Interstate 80, including the Highlander, dis-
charges into this sewer, which further reduces available capacity within the trunk sewer line.
Stormwater A4anagemen~. The regional stormwater detention basin for the north branch of Ralston
Creek is located in Hickory Hill Park. The south branch of Ralston Creek flows into the regional
stormwater detention basin located east of Scott Boulevard in Scott Park. These regional basins are
able to serve most of the Northeast District. Developers in this district are not required to provide
on-site stormwater detention facilities as long as sufficient capacity remains within the two regional
stormwater basins. Although a 100-year stormwater route needs to be provided through each
property, not having to provide stormwater detention facilities on individual properties allows for
more compact development to occur within the district.

Water. There are existing flow rate and water pressure constraints in the Northeast District. These
will be alleviated with a new feeder main to the Rochester Avenue Ground Storage Reservoir. This
improvement is expected to be on line by 2002. Twelve inch water mains are in place along
Rochester Avenue to Scott Boulevard and north of Court Street along Scott Boulevard to Roches-
ter Avenue. Water lines need to be extended along the First Avenue alignment and connected to
the north to create a functional loop. In Windsor Ridge and the south portion of Lindemann Hills
(SE), water lines will be brought out along Court Street when it is extended. This will enable a loop
to be created by connecting with the water line on American Legion Road. Eventually, a water line
will be extended along Lower West Branch Road. A water storage tank will be needed at the
corner of Court Street and Taft Avenue.
Fire Protection. Fire Department response times for much of the Northeast District are less than
optimal (ranging from six to ten minutes). Response times are a function of fire station locations, the
arterial street access to a particular location, and the capability of the first fire engine on arrival. The
two closest stations to the Northeast District currently are Station #1 on Gilbert Street and Station
#3 on Lower Muscatine Road. To improve response times for fire and emergency response ve-
hicles in the Northeast District, with the current street system, is to locate a fire station in the district.
The fire station should be located at an arterial street intersection, such as at the intersection of
Scott Boulevard and Rochester Avenue. Other parts of this plan call for the fire station to be asso-
ciated with a neighborhood commercial area, which is likely to be located at an arterial street
intersection. As this district develops, it will be necessary to locate a fire station in this area.
An alternative way to improve response times without constructing a new fire station in the district,
is to construct new arterial street connections. For example, the extension of First Avenue to Scott
Boulevard will improve response times for the neighborhoods on both sides of Dodge Street. Arte-
rial street connectivity is an important factor in fire and emergency vehicle response times.
CONCLUSION
The Northeast District Plan uses guidelines formulated by citizens at the March/April 1998
planning workshops to provide a framework for the City to use to shape the development of the
northeast portion of the city. Although not absolutes, the principles contained in the plan will be used
by the City when evaluating annexation, zoning and development proposals for properties within the
district. The principles will also be used to guide the drafting of City codes needed to implement the
policies of the plan.
The City's decisions regarding the timing and development of infrastructure, such as arterial streets
and sanitary sewer lines, will also influence the location and pace of private development within the
district. It has been the City's policy to encourage development that is compact and contiguous to
existing parts of the community. This avoids the added expense associated with providing services to
scattered or leap frog development. The city/county Fringe Area policy for the two mile wide unincor-
porated area located east of Iowa City discourages residential development, and works to reinforce
the City's goal of creating a visible edge of urban development. For the Northeast District, these pol i-
cies will logically shape the course of development so that the far eastern and northeastern portions of
the district v~,ill not likely develop until areas closer to the existing city are built out.
