File date: April 14, 1999. Revised and re-
submitted on October 11, 1999
45-day limitation period: November 25, 1999
SITE INFORMATION:
Public utilities: City sewer and water are available to
the site.
Public services: Police and fire protection and refuse
collection will be provided by the City.
Transportation: The nearest regular bus route
(Broadway route) passes through the
intersection of Burns Avenue and
Sycamore Street to the north of the
South Pointe Addition.
Physical characteristics: The property is generally flat.
Sensitive Areas Ordinance: The property contains a drainage
channel shown as a blue-line on the US
Geological Survey (USGS) map for this
area. However, this channel and the
overall drainage on this lot have been
altered as a result of grading activities
that took place based on the approved
plans for South Pointe, Parts 1-6. This
drainageway is not considered a stream
corridor under the Sensitive Areas
Ordinance. The Sensitive Areas
Inventory indicates that the property
also contains fully hydric soils.
However, this area has been disturbed
by previously approved grading
activities.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, South Pointe Partners, L.L.C., is requesting a preliminary plat of South Pointe
Addition, Part 7, a resubdivision of portions of Parts 2 and 3 of South Pointe Addition. The
subject property is located at the west termini of Langenberg Avenue and Hemingway Lane,
and includes approximately 8.08 acres. Parts 2 and 3 have been final platted but have not
yet been developed. A total of 37 building lots were previously approved for the area
included in this application. The current plan calls for a total of 25 lots and changes to the
storm water management plan. This plat was filed earlier this year and reviewed by Staff,
but never forwarded to the Commission due to concerns raised about the proposed drainage
plan. The drainage plan has been revised and the plat has been resubmitted. Public Works is
reviewing the revised drainage plan. A copy of the previously approved plat for South Pointe
Addition Parts 1 - 6 is attached to this report.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed preliminary plat is in general conformance with the City's subdivision
regulations. A grading plan will be required in association with this plat. It must be approved
by staff prior to City Council consideration of the plat.
The proposed preliminary plat includes the extension of Langenberg Avenue and the
construction of Russell Drive as previously approved on the final plat for South Pointe
Addition, Parts 1-6. However, a cul-de-sac previously proposed at the end of Hemingway
Lane, west of Russell Drive, is to be eliminated to accommodate a storm water management
basin. This larger basin would replace the two smaller basins previously approved. In total,
25 building lots and two outlots are being proposed to replace 37 approved lots that included
storm water management basins in many of the rear yards.
Street Design/Construction: Both Russell Drive and Langenberg Avenue were previously
platted as collector streets, to be 31 feet in width. This is to be carried over to Part 7 as
well. In addition to the construction of the streets within the boundaries of this parcel, this
development will include the extension of both Langenberg Avenue and Hemingway Drive
from their current termini to Russell Drive. They are currently developed to a point short of
the Russell Drive right-of-way. The connection of both streets is needed to satisfy secondary
access requirements. The plat notes that these extensions will occur.
Storm Water Management: The original plat of the South Pointe Addition contained two
storm water management facilities that were to be located within the back yards of
properties located along Hemingway Lane and Langenberg Avenue. The revised plan includes
one larger basin to be located on Outlot A, a parcel that is to be owned and maintained by a
homeowners association. Public Works has reviewed the proposed drainage plan, and it
appears that the requirements of the Storm Water Management Ordinance will be met. The
storm water management basin will be on a separate outlot which will be owned and
maintained by a homeowners association.
Sensitive Areas Ordinance: The Sensitive Areas Inventory indicates that fully hydric soils and
a stream corridor may exist on this property. A wetland determination was conducted in
1993 when this property was originally proposed for development, and no jurisdictional
wetlands were found to exist. Grading activities subsequently occurred on the property
altering the natural drainage system (prior to the adoption of the Sensitive Areas Ordinance).
It is staff's opinion that there are no sensitive areas remaining on the property that are
protected under the Sensitive Areas Ordinance. Regardless, the street cross sections shown
on the plat indicate that a drainable base and drain tiles will be incorporated into the street
design. The plan also contains a note indicating that homes with basements will have
foundation tile and sump pits, as required for Parts 1-6 of this subdivision.
Neighborhood Open Space: Neighborhood Open Space fees were paid for this property at the
time of the platting of South Pointe, Parts 1-6. No additional open space requirements apply
for this property.
z~
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB99-0008, a request for a preliminary plat of South Pointe
Addition, Part 7, an 8.08 acre, 25-1ot residential subdivision located at the west termini of
Langenberg Avenue and Hemingway Lane, be approved, subject to the approval of a grading
plan prior to City Council consideration of the plat.

Athens struggled with the issue of a mall being built on the outskirts of town. The city took active steps to
preserve the downtown businesses and ambiance. The city funded the renovation and promotion of the
Historic Morton Theater*, an old vaudeville theater that was the center of the black community for many
years. It now is host to the Athens Community Theater as well as film festivals and many musical and
community events. Another venue in Athens is The Georgia Theater, an old movie house. It now
supports live music and film festivals.

ATHENS DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
ATHENS-CLARKE DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
Formed by State legislation in 1977, the ADDA administers the revitalization and
redevelopment of the Central Business District. Acting as liaison between
Government and the Downtown Business community, the Authority coordinates
planning and implementation of public facilities as well as assisting private
investors and individual businesses. The A-CDDA, created in 1995, focuses on
the redevelopment of the Downtown East area, a fifty acre "Brownfield" site
adjacent to the Central Business District.
HISTORY
· Early 1970's under the leadership of then Planning Commission Chair/UGA
Administrator JW Fanning, the Chamber of Commerce and downtown
business leaders formed the Athens Downtown Council.
· From observing larger communities, they learned that successful programs
required a full time staff. In 1977 the Citizens of Athens voted to establish the
Athens Downtown Development Authority.
· 1980, Athens was one of 30 towns selected to participate in a Historic
Preservation based demonstration program, Main Street.
· 1981 Regional Enclosed Mall built. Lost all department stores, but due to a
concerted effort, only one local business moved to the new suburban mall.
· Late 1980's, Clubs begin to develop downtown offering live music. Area starts
transition into mixed use district: retail, restaurant, entertainment, upper floor
residential. Currently 50 alcohol licenses downtown.
· 1980's Music business prospers producing B52's REM, and Widespread
Panic.
· Currently over 250 bands in the area, live entertainment every night of the
week.
MISSION STATEMENT "To promote, maintain, and enhance a safe and
economically viable central business district by focusing both public and private
resources on the fulfillment of downtown's potential to benefit the entire
community." October 23, 1995 Strategic Planning Session
OBJECT Section 1. To acquire, construct, improve, alter, repair, and maintain
properties within the Downtown Athens Area as set forth in the enabling
legislation (ADDA Bylaws, February 1978) and to promote for the public good
and general welfare, trade, commerce, industry, and employment opportunities.
(ACDDA Bylaws April 1995)
Section 2. To undertake and oversee the revitalization and
redevelopment of the urban, central city areas located within the Downtown
Athens Area... (ADDA Bylaws, February 1978) and to use those powers as
prescribed by law and as requested by the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke
County, Georgia. (ACDDA Bylaws April 1995)
MAIN STREET APPROACH The Main Street program's is based on a
comprehensive strategy of work, tailored to local needs and-opportunities, in four
broad areas, called the Main Street Four Point Approach:
· Design: Enhancing the physical appearance of the commercial district by
rehabilitating historic buildings, encouraging supportive new construction,
developing sensitive design management systems, and long-term
planning.
· Organization: Building consensus and cooperation among the many
groups and individuals who have a role in the revitalization process.
· Promotion: Marketing the traditional commercial distdct's assets to
customers, potential investors, new businesses, local citizens and visitors.
· Economic Restructuring: Strengthening the district's existing economic
base while finding ways to expand it to meet new opportunities -- and
challenges from outlying development.
DESIGN: The Athens Downtown Development Authority has encouraged the
rehabilitation of structures instead of demolition. In addition design assistance is
provided for fa(;,ade renovations, and the Authority issued bonds for two projects,
the Georgian Hotel conversion to Apartments and the College Avenue Parking
Deck. Public Space has been designed to compliment the historic buildings. In
addition vigorous discussion has stopped street closure or a change from angle
parking.
ORGANIZATION: a seven member Board appointed by the County Commission
governs The Athens Downtown Development Authority.
Committees and activities managed by the Authority include:
· The Athens Downtown Council (ADC) The council is an association of
merchants and businesses that markets the downtown area to local
customers. The Council coordinates advertising and merchandising
events and publishes a shopping guide.
o The Athens Hospitality Resource Panel (HRP) Formed in 1999, the HRP
is a community organizing framework for creating an alliance of business
associations, government agencies, and community organizations
dedicated to developing safe communities and healthy businesses
through the promotion of responsible hospitality principles and practices.
As its name implies, an HRP is a "resource" to the hospitality industry, as
well as everyone else involved. Rather than creating new programs, new
projects or new materials, the HRP works to enhance the availability and
participation in those programs that currently exist. Through regular
communication and collaboration, key stakeholders identify and develop
strategies to address issues and concerns of the community relating to the
service of food, alcoholic beverages and entertainment. The HRP efforts
have helped the Hospitality businesses organize their own group, the
Downtown Athens Tavem Association (DATA).
· The Athens Music and Arts Committee (AthFest) the AthFest Committee
was organized in 1997:
o To attract visitors to Athens dudng the slow summer months.
o To give UGA students a reason to return during the summer.
o To showcase Athens Area Bands for entertainment venues,
booking agents and club owners from college towns in the
Southeast.
o To build a Music Conference atmosphere that would attract music
industry representatives and to Athens.
o To promote the Athens Music Industry.
o,*, The Event: 150 bands play over 4 days in 20 indoor dubs and 2
outdoor stages in addition to a local Artist market, music video
contest, music industry seminars and a yearly CD promoting
Athens Bands.
· Downtown Athens Parking System (DAP), the Authority manages
o 736 on street metered spacos,
o 6 parking lots and one parking deck,
o Total spaces managed: 1626, % monthly - % houdy.
PROMOTION, MARKETING, AND PUBLIC RELATIONS:
The Authority s maintains a constant working relationship with the media,
addressing public concerns and issues of concern.
The Athens Downtown Development Authority also works to attract customers
and visitors to the downtown area. Two major events coordinated by the authority
are the Athens Christmas Parade and First Night Athens, a New Years Eve
celebration. In addition the Authority and the Athens-Clarke County Government
also assist other events such as:
· Twilight Criterion Bicycle Race,
· Athens Film Festival
· Opera Athens
· University of Georgia Homecoming Parade
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:
The Authority works to:
· Recruit prospective businesses with personal contacts, mail, telephone,
trade associations,
· Retain businesses by personal contact, identifying market opportunities,
assisting with expansion/relocation or sale of business.
· Market available space, providing building/store/office layouts, utility
information, and location advantages. Assist property owners and
managers in evaluating prospective tenants. Negotiate or assist in
negotiation of lease terms, parcel assembly and negotiations.
· Promote the music industry with annual band showcase, yeady promotion
CD's, and national music trade show booths. Efforts received coverage in
Wall Street Journal, National Public Radio "All things Considered", MTV,
Rolling Stone, and AAA Travel Magazine.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES: The Athens Downtown Development Authority follows
the National Main Street Philosophy:
· Comprehensive: A single project cannot revitalize a downtown or
commercial neighborhood. An ongoing series of initiatives is vital to build
community support and create lasting progress.
· Incremental: Small projects make a big difference. They demonstrate that
"things are happening" Downtown.
· Self-Help: Although the National and Georgia Main Street Programs
provide valuable direction and hands-on technical assistance, only local
leadership can initiate long-term success by fostering and demonstrating
community involvement and commitment to the revitalization effort.
· Public/private partnership: Every local Main Street program needs the
support and expertise of both the public and pdvate sectors. For an
effective partnership, each must recognize the strengths and weaknesses
of the other.
· Identifying and capitalizing on existing assets: A city must recognize and
make the best use of its uniqueness. Local assets provide the solid
foundation for a successful Downtown initiative.
· Quality: From storefront design to promotional campaigns to special
events, quality must be the main goal.
· Change: Changing community attitudes and habits is essential to bring
about a commercial district renaissance. A carefully planned Main Street
program will help shift public perceptions and practices to support and
sustain the revitalization process.
· Action-oriented: Frequent, visible changes in the look and activities of the
commercial district will reinforce the perception of positive change. Small,
but dramatic improvements early in the process will remind the community
that the revitalization effort is under way.
CURRENT ISSUES
· Residential Development - Where to park cars. Music and residence
conflicts.
· Heavy night time uses. Two peaks, noon and midnight. 7 AM to 2:30 PM.
Service support without alleys.
· Friction between day and night businesses..
4
· Too many bars? Loss of Store fronts to bars. Limits discussed, Market
limits number? Open container ordinance. Under age drinking.
Sidewalk dining. Great but creates cleaning problem.
Strong restaurant business = lots of trash, employees park on street.
Large volume of solid waste.
· Events: Too many, hurt business. Need a balance?
· Problem: Office Market has moved out to converted houses and office
parks.
· Biggest Challenges = Safety & Cleanliness
DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT LESSONS LEARNED
There is no one, quick fix. Downtown Development is not a project, it is an
ongoing process.
Mixed uses, i.e. retail, restaurants, entertainment, office, and residential create a
more interesting and economically stronger business district.
Build upon a cities strongest points: architecture, history, University, music, art,
water.

Why Are Main Streets Important?
Main Street advocates are commonly asked by city governments and
businesses, 'V~/hy should we invest in downtown?" In response, here are a few
reasons why your downtown neighborhood commercial district is an important
and worthwhile investment in the economic health and quality of life in your
community.
· Main Street is a symbol of community economic health, local quality of life,
· pride, and community history. These are all factors in industrial,
commercial and professional recruitment.
· A vital Main Street retains and creates jobs, which also means a stronger
tax base. Long-term revitalization establishes capable businesses that use
public services and provide tax revenues for the community.
· Main Street is also a good incubator for new small businesses - the
building blocks of a healthy economy. Strip centers and malls are often too
expensive for new entrepreneurs.
· A vital Main Street area reduces sprawl by concentrating retail in one area
and uses community resources wisely, such as infrastructure, tax dollars
and land.
· A healthy Main Street core protects property values in surrounding
residential neighborhoods.
· The traditional commercial distdct is an ideal location for independent
businesses, which in turn:
· Keep profits in town. Chain businesses send profits out of town.
· Supports local families with family-owned businesses
· Supports local community projects, such as ball teams and schools
· Provide an extremely stable economic foundation, as opposed to a few
large businesses and chains with no ties to stay in the community
· A revitalized Main Street increases the community's options for goods and
services: whether for basic staples, like clothing, food and professional
services or less traditional functions such as housing and entertainment.
· Main Street provides an important civic forum, where members of the
community can congregate. Parades, special events and celebrations held
there reinforce intangible sense of community. Private developments like
malls can and do restdct free speech and access.
6
· Many Main Street districts become tourist attractions by virtue of the
character of buildings, location, selection of unique businesses, and
events held there.
Historic Preservation Equals Economic Development:
The Main Street Program's Success
The 1998 National Reinvestment Statistics
The Main Street program has been incredibly successful,
making it one of the most powerful economic development tools in
the nation, even though it focuses on historic
preservation and retaining community character. These
statistics are tracked from 1980
to date and reflect activity in over 1,400 communities:
The total amount of public and pdvate reinvestment in
Main Street communities
is $10.9 Billion
Average reinvestment per community (i): $5,139,000
Number of net new businesses generated: 47,000
Number of net new jobs generated: 174,000
Number of building rehabilitations: 60,900
The Ratio of Reinvestment into the Community (ii): the
average number of
dollars generated in each community for every dollar used
to operate the local Main
Street program: $35.43 reinvested for every $1 spent
Average program length, to date: 5.60 years
Average cost per job created: $2,179
Average cost per business created in a main street
district $6,553

City of Iowa City
· MEMORANDUM
Date: January 27,2000
To: City Manager and City Council ~
From: Karin Franklin, Director, Planning & Communi
Re: Englert Theater Acquisition
We have placed on the Council's agenda a resolution which authorizes
acquisition of the Englert Theater and execution of two letters of agreement, one
with Pohl Family Properties, LLC and one with the Englert Theater Coalition
through the Iowa City Jazz Festival. The Jazz Festival is currently operating as
the fund raising entity of the Coalition.
The resolution authorizes execution of the letters of agreement and authorizes
the City Manager to sign an acceptance of assignment of the Pohl Family
Properties, LLC interest in the purchase agreement for the Englert Theater with
Engvar Theaters Corp. who presently own the theater. Engvar is a part of
Central States. The City Manager is also authorized to engage in any further
negotiations regarding the purchase. This authorization will not affect the
amount of money the City is obligated to pay but is a contingency clause to allow
for any elements not contemplated at this time.
The essence of the agreement with Pohl Family Properties,LLC is that the City
will step into the purchase agreement between the Pohls and Engvar, with the
concurrence of all parties concerned; that the City will pay to the Pohls an
amount equal to certain expenses incurred during this transaction; and that the
Pohls and the City agree that if the Coalition is unable to purchase the building
within nine months, the building will be sold back to the Pohls for the purchase
price.
The agreement with the Coalition/Iowa City Jazz Festival includes provisions that
the City will pay up to $700,000 for the Englert and the Coalition will be
responsible for the amount in excess of $700,000, up to $66,000; that the
Coalition will have the option to purchase the Englert within nine months for
$500,000, with that $500,000 being in excess of the $66,000; and that,the City
will absorb all costs for utilities, maintenance and taxes to other jurisdictions
during the nine month period.
We are expecting a formal request from the Coalition to the City for this packet.
If there are any questions, we have scheduled time on the Council's work
session Monday, January 31st.
En llert Theatre Coalition
January 27, 2000
City Council of Iowa City
410 E. Washington St.
Iowa City IA 52240
Dear Mayor Lehman and Members of the Council:
Thank you for your continued interest in preserving the Englert Theatre as a community
performance space that all Iowa Citians can use and enjoy. We are encouraged by the on-going
dialogue between the City and the Englert Theatre Coalition to make this happen. In response to
your request, we have prepared the following information as attachments to this letter:
Revenue and expense projections
A preliminary organization and fund raising plan
Answers to "frequently asked questions"
We applaud the City's desire to participate in this much-needed civic project. With this letter, the
Coalition formally requests that the City purchase the Englert Theatre from Pohl Family
Properties and hold it for a period of up to nine months. This action will allow the Coalition the
necessary time to secure the private contributions and other financial assistance needed to
purchase the Englert from the City. The City's interim purchase of the Englert will be the first step
in retaining this historic building as a unique community resource.
At our most recent appearance before the Council, you asked that we realistically ascertain what
it will take to accomplish our goals. From the outset, we have believed the City must make a
substantial commitment to this project for it to be successful. After careful consideration, we feel
strongly that this must be an equal partnership between the City and the people of Iowa City.
The estimated cost for acquisition, renovation and start-up of the New Englert is $1.3 million. The
Coalition firmly believes it can raise $650,000 towards this project within a 9-month timeframe.
As with any fund raising project, the larger the amount that must be raised, the harder the
campaign will be. We sincerely hope-and hereby request-that the City of Iowa City share the
financial investment of this project in an equal partnership of $650,000. This partnership would
ensure our total success; anything less increases the risk of failure.
Some would refer to this arrangement as "partners in risk." We prefer to say we would be
"partners in vision"--a vision that sees the New Englert Theatre as a dynamic center of culture
and entertainment for all. Join us in our quest!
Sincerely,
Eng lert Theatre Coalition

Mission Statement
The mission of the Englert Theatre Corporation is to preserve a significant historic
building, the last remaining legitimate theater in Iowa City, and to provide a unique
venue for live performances in the community.
Through its on-going programming, the New Englert Theatre will promote awareness
and appreciation of the diverse, multi-cultural resources that thrive in and around Iowa
City.
The New Englert will offer a wide variety of programming from community-based, non-
profit organization to audiences that reflect the diversity of the local and regional
populations. It will be the policy of the New Englert Theatre to offer affordable
entertainment and cultural events that are not currently available in the community.
Expense &Revenue Projections page 3
As always expense projections are the most accurate with utility,insurance and tax figures
based upon the current numbers for the Englert building in calendar 1999.
Personnel costs are based both on other similar facilities that we have surveyed and on the
Camiros Consultants study for the proposed Center Space Auditorium. (This extensive feasibility
study by the Chicago based consulting firm was completed in 1994 and updated in 1997. Copies
of the study are available from the City Planning Depadment)
Staffing costs in a performance facility are the most fluid as they will rise with the number of
performances, with a concurrent increase in income from those performances. Any additional
personnel costs would likely be due to increases in part-time staff dudrig the first few years of
operation.
Revenue projections are very conservative. Camiros Consultants estimated 192 events in
the Center Space Auditorium. We estimate 132 events with a total attendance of nearly 51,00
patrons for the first full year of operation of the New Englert Theater.
We have projected very low rental rates for community groups in order to encourage the
greatest diversity of local usage. The full time professional staff of the New Englert would be
available to assist those groups in their productions.
The majority of the revenue to support the facility will come from Englert Theatre
produced popular music concerts filling a major void in Iowa City's entertainment events. The
concerts would feature a broad range of performances of jazz, folk, blues, rock, country & western
and world & ethnic music with occasional comedy, spoken word and solo theatrical shows. We
have projected ticket prices in the $10 to $15 range.
Iowa City's geographical location makes the Englert an ideal mid-week venue for touring
acts traveling between dates in major Midwest metropolitan areas. This ensures access to a broad
range of music and cultural performances.
Concessions are a major source of income for all performance facilities
Ancillary income would be received from playbill/program advertising, lobby poster
advertising, marquee advertising rental and the rental of the small retail storefront space adjacent
to the main lobby entrance
The projected operating revenue shodfall would easily be made up by an annual benefit
concert or other minimal support programs eliminating the need for a large ongoing fund raising
campaign.

Organization and Fund Raising Plan
Organization
The process is underway to file articles of incorporation with the State of Iowa to create the
Englert Theatre Corp., the not-for-profit corporation that will become the legal entity purchasing
and operating the New Englert. This process will include obtaining 501c.3 tax-exempt status with
the Internal Revenue Service, which takes several months. We envision an operating Board of
Directors composed of representatives of participating community organizations, such as the
Iowa City Community Theater, the Iowa City Jazz Festival, the Iowa Arts Festival, Arts Iowa City
and Friends Of Historic Preservation, to name just a few, as well as individuals representing a
diverse cross-section of the community. A second board--an advisory board on programming
issues--will be instituted, bringing even more community input to the programming process.
These boards will also help establish policies related to rental fees, ticket prices, etc. to ensure
that the Englert is accessible to all aspects of the community.
Fund Raising
We are ready to move forward with a comprehensive campaign, should the Council approve the
purchase of the Englert building. We have been overwhelmed by the response to the two-week
campaign we organized to raise the $50,000 "option to buy" agreement with Pohl Family
Properties. The majority of these funds came unsolicited from individuals and local businesses.
Gifts ranged from $5 to $10,000; many of these people said they would contribute more when the
major campaign begins. Iowa City Community Theatre, the Iowa City Jazz Festival and Friends
of Historic Preservation each made significant gifts to this effort.
We are in contact with several major foundation and corporate prospects. Also, we are seeking
professional fund raising advice with the possibility of hiring a fund raiser to conduct the
campaign. The Community Theater's commitment to this campaign includes a $20,000 allocation
for fund raising costs. Also, State. Sen. Joe Bolkcom has offered his assistance to the Coalition if
it decides to apply for a state Community Attraction and Development Program.
If the Coalition were to conduct a $650,000 campaign for this project, a typical breakdown of gifts
needed to have a successful campaign is as follows:
$100,000 level One gift
50,000 level Four gifts
25,000 level Six gifts
10,000 level Eight gifts
5,000 level Ten gifts
1,000 level Twenty-five gifts
500 level Seventy gifts
100 level One hundred gifts

Frequently Asked Questions
RENOVATION COSTS
The Coalition feels the $500,000 estimate is realistic based upon our initial examination of
the building...which appears to be in excellent condition .... and conversations with suppliers of
theatrical, lighting and sound systems for facilities of this size and age.
The Coralville firm of Shoemaker & Haaland Professional Engineers has offered to conduct
a structural analysis of the building at no cost. Architect John Shaw is a rounding member of the
Coalition and has been assisting at every step of our examination of the building.
The Englert mechanical systems (heat,air conditioning, electrical) have been well
maintained or renovated in recent years and appear to be serviceable for the proposed
performance facility. The center wall in the Auditorium WILL BE removed. The roof will need
some attention. We would hope to restore the animation of the marquee lights
As with all projects the funding will determine the extent of renovation, with the priority
being to create an operational facility.
OPERATING COSTS & INCOME
Preliminary estimates put the annual operation expenses at $287,466.00 This estimate is
in line with similar facilities. In a performance facility expenses are somewhat dependent on the
number of performances.
The Camiros Consultants study for Center Space assumed 192 events annually. We are
using more conservative figures for the initial period of operation...in the range of 132 events with
94 of these community organization presentations and 38 performances & events produced by the
Englert and other production companies. Attendance is estimated at 50,000 plus for this level of
performances.
A multi level rental & fee schedule will be established with commercial rental and concert
revenues subsidizing lower fees for non profit organizations to insure the accessibility to community
groups.
We are in the VERY PRELIMINARY phase of this effort using similar facilities and the
Camiros study for Center Space as our models. We will further refine these estimates after
conversations with Compass Facility Management, analysis of similar operations and further input
from local groups that have expressed interest in using the New Englert.
Similar facilities have experienced operating revenues + or- 5% of operating expenses
with an annual benefit concert membership/friends groups or making up the shortfall.
The Regent Theater in Cedar Falls is similarly organized and has been operating break
even or in the black with no subsidy for several years.
PROGRAMMING
Community performance facilities of this type generally have two functions.
One: simply to rent the facility to community organizations and commercial production
companies without participation the the program presentation.
Two: produce and promote concerts and performances to assure adequate income to
operate the facility.
With low fees for community groups and technical assistance from the Englert, we would
expect to see a more diverse range of events than currently exists due to Iowa City's lack of a
community facility such as the Englert.
Englert produced or co-produced performances would be chosen to attract a wide variety
of audiences from Iowa City and surrounding communities. Diverse programming will serve the
community and insure the continued viability of the New Englert
page 7
ADEQUACY OF FACILITIES
While there has been much discussion about the size of the Englert stage and backstage,
the facility while not at modern standards is adequate.
The Paramount in Cedar Rapids has a wider stage proscenium but wings and stage depth
that are similar in dimension to the Englert. With those limited stage facilities the Paramount has
presented Broadway road shows and even an on stage ice show. We do not envision these kind of
productions for the Englert since Hancher Auditorium fills the need for road shows and major
theatrical productions .
Local theater companies currently operated in utility buildings, converted warehouses and
rented church basements. Iowa City Community Theater feels the Englert would be more than
adequate and a major step up over their current facility .
The Englert has a full fly loft and limited but adequate dressing room space.
LOCATION-TRANSPORTATION
With the downtown being the hub for all local transit systems, 3 major city parking facilities
within two blocks, and a high density of residential development in and around the city center the
Englert is readily accessible by all modes of transportation
CURRENT RESIDENTIAL USE
The current use of 6 rooms and a common area on the third floor for residential sleeping
rooms does not meet housing codes and should be discontinued.
RETAIL SPACE
A small retail space exists next to the lobby and could provide a small source of rental
income
MOVIES ?
The deed covenant is in negotiation. We hope for an agreement that would satisfy the
interests of all parties.
The Coalition has always considered live performances to be the primary
use of the facility.
If allowed we would explore the potential for an annual film festival and Saturday Afternoon
Cartoon screenings for children.

Dear Council Members:
Like many other people in Iowa City, I would like to see the Englert Theater
preserved and used as a multi-use theater for the performing arts. I agree
with Dave Parsons' recent editorial that the theater would offer a mid-size
venue unlike any other in town, where citizens can see a play, listen to an
orchestra or hear a travelogue. I am a long-time Iowa City resident and I
think that in this day of mega-malls which can siphon away business, and
life, from our city center, we need to emphasize what is unique, such as this
theater, to entice people downtown. In addition, it would give our city an
attractive, cultural activity to help balance out all those bars downtown.
Thank you,

I write to express my support for Iowa City's investing,
in some way, in the future of the Englert Theater as a fine

Saving the Englert for the arts will bring energy to our

Please support the Englert purchase arrangement being discussed. For Iowa City to maintain its uniqueness

I have been reading about the proposed purchase of the Englert Theater. I do
not believe it is the purpose of the City government to become involved in
real estate purchases for a select group of people. I understand and
appreciate the need to maintain the arts, but I believe and have been told

the coalition should be directly involved in the negotiation of this
property.
I do not want my tax dollars going toward the purchase of this building when
I believe that the costs to attend performances will be out of reach to many

Mr. Wilburn,
I am not the type of person who sends e-mail to public officials, but I
feel a need to express my thoughts to you on the subject of the Englert
theater.
I don't know if you realize how much of a benefit it will be to downtown
commerce as well as our national standing in the ads, particularly in
community theater.
Performances by ICCT and any other organization that uses the facility will
bring the much needed "non-student "crowd that business need to stay
viable. Once ICCT has a high quality facility of this type, we could begin
to host regional, state, and even possibly national community theater
competitions. ICCT has a reputation in theater circles of very high
quality performers and materials performed. These competitions bring in
people from around the state, region, and nation to participate and/or
attend the performances. This means Hotel rooms would be filled,
restaurants would be patronized, shops and stores would experience more
foot traffic. Not to mention the word of mouth that would be spread about
what a beautiful downtown Iowa City has.
If the council is so concerned about loosing revenue to Coralville because
of the mall, invest your development money in something that will boost
downtown revenue, and support itself in the process.
A new fountain downtown or a possible state boarding park will not generate
funds to put back into the city coffer. From my understanding, the
fountain doesn't work the way it should, and the skate boarding park,
though I am sure would be lovely, has such a high investment cost with not
much return. Comparatively, the theater, to me, seems a much less
expensive and wiser investment.
The Englert is a landmark of downtown Iowa City. I remember seeing Star
Wars there when it first came out. I remember being sad and angry that
they put that terrible wall down the middle. Now we have the magical
chance of bringing this beautiful theater back to it's original purpose.
Live, affordable, diverse entertainment.
This is a dream that many at ICCT and in the community share with me.
Please help us to start making is a reality. ICCT has been one of the best
kept secrets in Iowa City for over 40 years. Lets work together to share
with everyone this wonderful organization and what it can do for downtown
Iowa City.
With much thanks, ********************

Subject: RE: The Englert Theater
Thanks Ellen for sending your thoughts about the Englert and for expressing your concerns that relate to the viability of
downtown Iowa City. The Iowa City Community Theater (ICCT) is a fine group. I really enjoyed their performance of
Jesus Christ Superstar in the fall.
As someone who is a musician in my spare time (what little I have these days ;) this is not an easy thing to say no to.
Indeed, I like the idea of the Epicenter as avenue for the performing arts. However, I must consider as well, the
arguments of others who may not share support for this idea. Also, I must consider the thoughts of those who like the
idea, but feel there are other needs and wants which have been on the books for a while, or that have not been addressed
in the past. I have to respond (consider their point) to folks on the Southeast and East sides of town who feel that alot of
money has been channeled into downtown. In fact, several millions of dollars. Some feel to the detriment of the rest of
Iowa City. The Englert proposal started as a loan & small investment from the city to essentially another major capitol
6 0 in
expense ($ 5,000) all the short span of 2 or 3 weeks. It is my responsibility to consider this in light of other major
capitol improvements (bridges, finishing the water plant, and things we are mandated to comply with from the Federal
government like our sewer treatment plant and upcoming stormwater quality management). Also, there are several other
groups requesting funds that they are just as passionate about. Not an easy chore, as you can imagine.
Your critique of the changes to downtown are relevant and debatable. In fact, I've had people argue the opposite that the
city has no business considering this deal and should let the market dictate what should happen to the Englert (their
arguments, not mine). I'm not sure if you are aware that the changes to downtown have been part of the Downtown
Strategic Plan developed about 4 years ago I believe, with much input from downtown business owners. My point being
that apparently, several of the business owners felt that these changes would provide an atmosphere downtown that would
entice people to shop downtown for a variety of reasons. Your discussion about the ICCT is interesting. Indeed, it
probably should have been included in the Englert Coalition's packet/formal request that they just sent to the City last
week. Do you know typically how many people have attended these state/regional/national competitions (theater
performances)?
Regarding the proposed skateboard park, perhaps you are correct that it will not put funds directly into the city's general
fund. However, it is related to our human development. In this case, it involves our young people. Many, including our
Governor, have been struggling with how to encourage our young people to return to Iowa for jobs etc., after finishing
college. I believe if we can make living in Iowa City a positive experience for our younger people (18 and under), that this
will be just as effective in creating motivation to stay or return to Iowa City. Several young people participated in the focus
groups and hearings as the skatepark concept developed. A very empowering experience for them to have their city
government ask their opinion and provide a way for them to have input into the process. I know this wouldn't fly here, but
the $200,000-250,000 dollars for the skateboard park is not really a large park, compared to other cities (like Cedar Rapids
and some other parks I know of in Missouri and California for example). If we really developed a nice park, someone
could host an Extreme Games competition here in Iowa City. These types of competitions include younger kids as well as
young adults (some of these have been televised on networks like ESPN and have generated lots of money and exposure
for communities). Again, like I said, that probably would not be supported here and I will not be proposing that we do this
at this time ( I was thinking out loud for a moment there).
About the Englert itself, I too was saddened to see the wall go up separating the theater. I will miss seeing movies there
and afterwards running outside to catch the end of one of the Friday night outdoor concerts.
In making their arguments, I feel some have been unfair to the city's commitment to the arts ( I know you didn't in your
comments and I appreciate that). The outdoor theater at city park is supposed to be finished this summer I believe. I will
be supporting the request for funds from the city for the Friday Night Concert Series, Artsfest and Jazzfest, which do
promote Iowa City and contribute to our local economy.
I will consider your remarks as we have our meeting tonight (work session). I will also print out a copy of your message
and my reply for those who don't use their e-mail per your request.
Thanks again for making time to let your thoughts be known.
Sincerely,
Ross Wilburn

Members, Iowa City Common Council:
Since moving here a year ago, we have enjoyed seeing movies at the Englert
Theatre. Although the interior was changed several years ago to add a second
screen, the colorful exterior marquee has survived. When we read a month ago
that the owner was closing and selling the Englert, it made us sad. When we
read that the seller placed a condition on sale that the building never show
movies, it made us sadder. The seller lives in Des Moines, so he doesn't have
the same stake in our community that we who live here do. Fortunately, a group
of citizens, the Englert Theatre Coalition, formed to try to save the building
for community arts. Interested in donating to this cause, we contacted a
Coalition leader. He thought the seller's "no movies" clause applied only to
first-run feature films. In other words, he said, under a new owner the Englert
could show classic, foreign, art, independent, or documentary films. These
kinds of movies are rarely screened in any of the commercial theatres in the
Iowa City area, which are all owned by the seller of the Englert. Relieved, we
decided to donate to the Coalition. However, accordin~ to last Friday's Iowa
City Gazette, "Englert backers foresee many uses," but film is not mentioned.
As the Council considers whether to assist in the purchase of the Englert, we
hope you will explore exactly what restrictions have been placed on the
building's use. Film is an art form, and old theatres in many cities that have
been converted to stage performances continue to screen occasional movies. I
hope the Englert can be used for film as well as music, theater, comedy, and
other appropriate cultural events.

MEMO
To: IOWA CITY COUNCIL
From: HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
Date: 1/J~/00
Subject: Englcrt Theater
The Hjstorio Preservation Commission unanimously supports the oxpcnditure of City
funds for use in acquiring the Englert. Financial assistance by t}le City would provide
preservation minded civic organizations with the necessary funds to purchase the Englert.
Additionally, the City's help would facilitate the designation of the Englert as both an Iowa City
Historic Landmark and as a National llistoric Rog/ster Property. D~sigmation as a landmark
would provide for Historic Preservation Commission roview of all exterior ch,'u~ges to the
Hugleft and 'MFord some proWction against future, demolition.
Tho Conm~lission also supports the imposition of use restrictions tied to sale or transfer
of the Engleft by the City, including restrictions based upon the historio uses of the propcity. Duo
to the unique and important role oFthe F, nglcrt in Iowa City's history, the protections afforded by
dosignation and use restrictions arc vital to ensure the Englert's preservation for futttrc
generations, The historical survey of the downtown currently underway was undertaken to
ensure th~ identification and preservation of the downtown's historical resources. The purchase,
landmark designation, and imposition ofuso rcstr/ctions upon the Englert would all be
significm~t steps tow~ds that end.

City Council Member: I just wanted to express my support for the Englert
being initially purchased by the city. I believe it will be a great asset
to Iowa City for community arts. It is something that is in great need
here in the downtown. I do not think another bar/restaurant business is a
need at the moment. I do enjoy and go to many of the bars and restaurants
in town and will continue to go to them, but an excess of them takes away
from the community atmosphere in the downtown area. Thank you very much
for your help and support in Enlgert project. --leigh friesen

MEMORANDUM
To: Steve Atkins, City Manager ,/'
From: Joe Fowler, Director Parking & Transit
Date: January 26, 2000
Re: Capitol Street Lighting Project
The lighting has continued to decline in the Capitol Street Ramp due to the
aging of the fixtures and the concrete. The fixtures have become less
efficient and the concrete has darkened. Both factors attribute to lower light
levels in the interior.
At the present time lighting levels in the facility range from 0.6 foot candles
to 6.0 foot candles. The average lighting level in the facility is 2.5 fc. This
is well below the current industry standard of 5 fc.
To improve the facility, I recommend increasing the lighting levels on all
floors except the top deck. I am not recommending increasing the top floor
because of the low nighttime usage and a concern for the perception of light
spillover by neighbors.
The engineer's estimate for this project was $147,000. The low bid by
Gerard Electric is $138,844. The project will be financed with parking
revenues.

From: Douglas Booth y, pe
Date:Janua~ 28, 2000
e: WithdraWal of resolution awarding c~ntract to construct single family home under the Affordable Dream Home
Opportunities ProFam (~HOP)
The Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA) did not receive any successful bids for the proposed "green built" home to
be located at 1512 Dickenson Lane. Only one bid was submitted and that bid was incomplete and subsequently
withdrawn by the bidder. The lack of interested bidders is disappointing and it is my opinion that getting interested
bidders for this type of project will continue to be difficult.
Therefore, I recommend not rebidding this project. Rather than rebid, I've contacted Ben Moore, Moore Construction
Company, (who had expressed interest in this project) and he has agreed to buy the IHCA's lot, construct an
affordable "green built" house, and sell the house to the ICHA for ADHOP. Under this proposal, the project would
not need to be rebid since the City would not be constructing the house but purchasing a finished product from Moore
Construction.
I have placed on the Council's February 1st agenda the Resolution of Intent to Convey 1512 Dickenson Lane and the
setting of a public hearing for February 15,2000. I recommend you give favorable consideration on this item. This
action will also allow Moore Construction Company to purchase the lot and start construction on the house in time to
meet the deadline for Parade of Homes participation.
Thank you for your favorable consideration of this matter.

ITEM ,2/ : RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO CONVEY 1512 DICKINSON LANE AND SETTING
A PUBLIC HEARING FOR FEBRUARY 15, 2000.
Comment: 1512 Dickinson Lane is currently a vacant lot owned by the Iowa City
Housing Authority. The Housing Authority intends to convey the lot to Moore
Construction Co. for $17,000, which is the amount the Housing Authority recently
paid for the lot. Moore Construction plans to construct an affordable, resource-
efficient, environmentally-friendly ("green built") single family home on the lot which
would be purchased by the Housing Authority under the Affordable Dream Home
Opportunities Program for sale to a family who earns up to 80% of the median
income.
