MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Robert Miklo, Senior Planner
DATE: March 29, 2001
RE: District Planning Priority
A few years ago the Planning and Zoning Division discussed the remaining districts for
which plans needed to be prepared and established a priority for the order in which
these plans should be drafted. The Commission sent this list to the Council for your
consideration and, although it was not formally adopted, it has served as the priority list
for staff and the Commission. To date, four district plans have been drafted or
completed. These include the South District Plan, the South Central District Plan, the
Northeast District plan, and the North District Plan, which the Council will be holding a
public hearing on in April 17.
Six district plans need to be prepared. These include the Central, Downtown, Northwest,
Southeast, Southwest, and the North Corridor. At the time the Commission established
its priority list, only the South, South Central, and Northeast District Plans had been
completed or were in the process. The Commission assigned the North District its
highest priority given development activity anticipated in the area including the
Peninsula, the reconstruction of Foster Road, and issues associated with Dubuque
Street. The Commission and staff have completed their work on the draft North District
Plan and, as stated, the Council will hold a public hearing on April 17.
The Commission decided that the Central District, possibly coupled with Downtown,
should be given the next highest priority given issues of redevelopmerit associated with
neighborhoods in these areas. The Southeast District was thought to be more urgent
than the other remaining districts due to issues associated with the Sycamore Mall and
industrial areas in the southeast part of the city. The Northwest District was considered
next given potential development associated with Highway 218. The North Corridor and
Southwest Districts were given a lower priority.
When considering if the Council wishes to change the priority of the district plans,
consideration should also be given to a commitment made to the residents of the South
District to revise the existing plan to reflect conditions that have changed since the plan
was adopted in 1997.

The Honorable Jim Leach
House of Representatives
2186 Rayburn House Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Jim:
I recently learned that Congress will be considering the possibility of federal funding to local governments
for water and wastewater infrastructure improvements. House and Senate committees are apparently
planning to hold hearings to focus on this issue. The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee
was to have scheduled a hearing for the morning of March 27, and on March 28, ~o House
subcommittees (one from the Transpodation and Infrastructure Committee and one from the Commerce
Commi~ee) were also to hold hearings. I understood witnesses were to include EPA, selected municipal
officials and representatives from state governments, as well as other citizen interest groups.
As you are aware, the City of Iowa City is in the process of completing close to $100,000,000 in water
and wastewater improvements. Notably, many of the improvements were to comply with federal
regulations associated with the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Clean Water Act. We recognized our
responsibilities and moved ahead in the construction of these improvements. The cost to do so was
substantial, not only in the financial commitments by the Iowa City City government, but also by our rate
payer/citizens, who saw dramatic increases in water and wastewater utility rates.
Approximately 20 years ago, the federal government contributed substantially to the cost of wastewater
improvements through an extensive federal grant program. While se~ing as a city manager in Eau Claire,
Wisconsin in the late 1970s, I saw that community enjoy the benefit of dose to $20,000,000 in federal
assislance for its wastewater improvements. At today's inflated rates, I suspect you can see the value of
that type of assistance to the City of Iowa City in today's dollars.
In that we proceeded to construct our water and wastewater improvements through local resources, it
would seem those of us who unde~ook the responsibilities--that is, did not delay in constructing
improvements--should also see some benefit from the possible federal water or waste water funding.
Recognizing you cannot provide a grant for new construction, as was the experience in the late 70's and
early 80's, I would like to believe you could consider some financial component to the new federal
assistance that mighl make us eligible to retire our debl in an accelerated fashion and/or refinance and
pay off some of our capital investment through the use of federal assistance. This would seem to be a fair
means of distributing new federal monies. Such a grant would allow us to reduce the significant rate
increases n6c6ssB~ to fund our water and wastewater improvements. It would have the same effect as
receiving a direct construclion grant and thereby lowering the cost to our rate payers.
I would appreciate any additional information you can provide me concerning this proposed legislation,
and in padicular whether a proposed refinancing could be made available to those communities who
chose to padicipate in the water and wastewater improvements through only their own local resources.
Sincerely,
City Manager

RE: Historic Preservation - District Planning - Budget FY02
You asked that we review the possibility of funding additional staff time for review of
historic preservation within the current operating budget of the department of Planning
and Community Development. The attached memorandum from the director outlines
how she would approach such a re-allocation of the budget.
I believe Karin's comments are critical to our overall planning process and, notably, what
I believe to be the Council's continuing interest in the district planning process. Just
recently you asked for a reprioritizatjon of the process (which district to do next).
While we appear to be able to accommodate the Council's interest concerning historic
preservation, it will be at the expense of a reduction in district planning time.
I want to reaffirm your interest in expanding historic preservation staff time knowing it is
going to be at the expense of district planning.

Re: Historic Preservation-Budget FY02
I have reviewed the department budget for FY02 to determine how to reallocate
the proposed budget to provide an additional quarter-time staff position to historic
preservation efforts. It is my understanding from your memorandum and from
the Council work session minutes that the City Council wishes to give higher
priority to historic preservation efforts through reallocation of the proposed
budget rather than adding funds.
In reviewing the various division budgets, there are only two options available.
One is to change priorities within the Urban Planning Division, within which
historic preservation is now funded. The second is to reconsider the funding of
some Community Development (CD).functions with General Fund monies.
Currently the General Fund supports $69,000 in non-grant activities in the
Community Development Division.
My recommendation for addressing this Council directive is to change priorities in
the Urban Planning Division such that one-half rather one-quarter time will be
spent on historic preservation activities and decrease our long-range planning
activities accordingly. This will have the least disruption to the department and
the least disruption to personnel. The diminishment of long-range planning
activities will mean we can not get through the district plans of the
Comprehensive Plan as quickly. We plan to stay with the process of the citizen
planning efforts even though the process is time consuming; the citizen planning
efforts generate valuable information for us and provide resident investment in
the City's plans. I also believe there would be negative reaction from the public if
we were to abandon this process in order to complete the district plans more
quickly.
Diminishing long-range planning for the sake of any more specific endeavor or
shorter-range need is not desirable to me. Consequently, as we take on this shift
in priorities to meet the Council's will, I will be monitoring the effect and also
looking at the CD non-grant fund for the future; at this point I am not sure what
the impact of a shift of funds from CD non-grant work to some other function
would do in terms of the non-grant work and the personnel in the CD division. I
will be reviewing this with the division heads and you as we approach budgeting
for FY03.

RE: Solid Waste Advisory Committee update
In November 2000, the City Council approved a staff Solid Waste Advisory Committee.
When the committee was formed it was made clear by the City Council that the committee
was to seek input from citizens. The committee has been meeting as needed for the past
few months in order to develop future agenda issues as well as deal with current specific
issues such as downtown alley maintenance.
The committee's first issue was to deal with cleaning up downtown alleys. The City
Attorney's Office and Department of Housing and Inspection Services assisted. The
committee has prepared a recommendation and will be discussing the recommendation with
the Downtown Association within the next couple of weeks as part of the committee's public
input process. They will call on other public representative groups as necessary. A more
generalized discussion will come later. Any citizen interest group which has ideas or
opinions is welcome to address correspondence to the committee at any time.
The committee feels having the time to discuss the issues at the staff level is very important.

Recently, the Board of Adjustment decided to rehear the appeal to the City's denial
of the site plan for 510 Bloomington Street. The rehearing is scheduled for April 11,
2001. The Board has specifically requested legal briefs from both parties in this
matter. Since the Legal Department represents the Board of Adjustment and will
assist the Board in reviewing the briefs and drafting its findings of fact and legal
conclusions, Legal has suggested the City retain outside counsel. This is to advise
you that the legal services of John Hayek have been retained to represent the City

NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION

Board of Adjustment
City of Iowa City
410 E. Washington Street
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Members of the Board of Adjustment:
Re: Appeal of Site Plan of 510/512 Fast Bloomington Street
We urge denial of the above-referenced appeal.
We believe that staff itctions were correct both in adherence to the purpose of the site plan review
process as well as in the application of specific design standards. The plan as submitted creates a
dangerous traffic situation, destroys the aesthetic value of an entire block -- one which is the gateway of
the Northside Neighborhood -- and is highiy disharmonious with surrounding properties, all of which
are residential in nature.
The purpose of the site plan review process includes references to the following principles: A. Promote
the most beneficial relation between present and proposed uses of land, and D. Provide screening of
parking .... In its setback and topographical changes to the block the site plan is hostile to the present
uses of neighboring properties, most especially in that it alters the slope of the block and puts a parking
lot effectively outside the front door of the neighboring residences, and the pont door of the proposed
office behind the back door of one of the neighboring residences.
We believe that specific design standards as contained in section 14-5H-5 were correctly applied, in
particular design standards E. Landscape Preservation, but most especially F. Vehicle and Pedestrian
Circulation.
E. Landscape Preservation. The design standards say that "the landscape shall be preserved in its
natural state by minimizing tree and soil removal and by topographic modifications which result in
maximum harmony with adjacent areas." As we note above, the plan is disharmonious with neighboring
properties.
F. Vehicle and Pedestrian Cimulation. No traffic study is needed to conclude what is immediately,
intuitively, patently obvious in looking at the 500 Block of East Bloomington Street: It is narrow, blind
on one side due to parked cars, and is due careful consideration in its status as the final approach of
ambulances to a hospital. Any new curb cuts on this block are undesirable, and most especially any curb
cuts by which cars would enter Bloomington Street from the side of the street that is obscured by
Board of Adjustment
page 2
March 23, 2001
parked cars. This feature of the proposed plan alone -- which puts parking and a curb cut on the from of
the property -- should be sufficient to warrant denim of this appeal.
Staff have recommended alley access to the property. The alley in question is already host to substantial
traffic from apar~nent buildings, and use of the alley by visitors to this property will add no new safety
hazards to traffic paRems in the neighborhood.
The Design Standards section begins: "All site plans submitted for City approval must comply with the
following design standards. These standards are the minimum standards necessary to safeguard the
public health, safety, aesthetics and general welfare of the City..." (emphases added). We believe that
the staff have been restrained and appropriate in their handling of this application, and we believe that,
when in doubt and public controversy, city decision makers should support the eity's staff. This
principle is inherent in Iowa City's council/manager form of government, which delegates many day-to-
day decisions to staff.
The addition of a medical practice to our neighborhood is both appropriate and desirable. We continue
to believe that the developers of the property in question would and should be able to find an appropriate
compromise with city sfaffto allow them to proceed. Denial of this appeal is the correct next step to this
goal.
The 500 block of Bloomington Street is aesthetically and physically part of our neighborhood, and
functionally is the gateway to our neighborhood. The site plan as submitted is inherently disharmonious
with the 500 block of Bloomington Street and with our neighborhood as a whole. Further, the core
neighborhoods of Iowa City are part of the essential character of our city, and to erode these
neighborhoods is to diminish the desirability of Iowa City as a place to live, work, and have a family.
The site plan ordinance exists, as we note above, to safeguard the... sa.t~ty, aesthetics and general
welfare of the City. We respectfully request that you protect our safety, protect our neighborhood, and
deny this appeal.

general meeting.

Re: Potential traffic calming on Lexington Avenue
Dear Resident:
Last fall a group of residents from Lexington Avenue contacted the City with concerns about speeding
traffic and reckless driving on Lexington Avenue. The group of residents requested that Lexington
Avenue be closed with a barrier between McLean Street and the driveway to 420 Lexington Avenue.
This would make Lexington Avenue into two culs de sacs, one extending from Park Road and one
extending from River Street. There would be a gap in the barrier for pedestrians and bicyclists to get
through, but the street would be closed to through traffic from motor vehicles. The City Council
determined that they were willing to have this proposal considered under the City's traffic calming
program.
Our evaluation of the neighborhood's proposal to close Lexington Avenue progressed to the point last
fall where a neighborhood meeting was held at Lincoln School in November to discuss the pros and
cons of the proposal. At the meeting there were concerns expressed by some residents of Lexington
Avenue, who indicated they were opposed to the proposal because they wished to be able to access
their residences from either Park Road or River Street during the winter months when snow and ice are
present. There were also general concerns expressed over the restricted visibility for motorists at the
Lexington Avenue-Park Road intersection. The meeting at Lincoln School was concluded with the
neighborhood group realizing that they needed to give additional consideration to the proposal and
address the concerns expressed by neighborhood residents.
We have again been contacted by the neighborhood group, called the "Lexington Avenue Action
Committee." They have modified their proposal for traffic calming on Lexington Avenue which is
intended to address the concerns of neighborhood residents expressed at the November meeting. The
modified proposal has a barrier erected on Lexington Avenue to restrict through traffic as was originally
proposed; however, a gate would be installed so that Lexington Avenue would be opened to through
traffic during the winter months when snow and ice may be present, and closed the remainder of the
year. The attached diagram will give you an idea of how the proposed barrier and accompanying
signage would be implemented. The barrier is proposed to be located where we feel it provides the
maximum visibility along Lexington Avenue.
The next step in the City's traffic calming program evaluation is a survey of the neighborhood. The
"neighborhood" is defined by the City Council as all residential dwelling units on property which is
contiguous to Lexington Avenue, as well as all residential dwellings on any street which must use
Lexington Avenue for access. This results in a survey of 25 affected households: the 300 and 400
blocks of Lexington Avenue including the corner residences on Park Road and River Street, and the
700 block of McLean Street.
The enclosed postage-paid survey has been provided for you to indicate to us how you feel about the
proposed barricade on Lexington Avenue. The City's traffic calming program is not intended to have the
City impose unwanted traffic calming devices on a neighborhood. Rather, it is intended to allow a
neighborhood to determine if they wish to have traffic calming devices installed. The neighborhood
survey must indicate that at least 60% of neighborhood residents responding are in favor of the
proposed traffic calming installation. Otherwise, the proposal will not be forwarded to the City Council
for consideration. To clarify, each residence receives one vote, not each resident.
410 EAST WASHINGTON STREET · IOWA CIIY, IOWA 52240 1826 · (~19/356 5000 · FAX (3191 356 5009
If the proposal does receive at least 60% approval from your neighborhood, it will be forwarded to the
City Council for consideration, along with comments on the proposal which are being solicited from the
Fire Department, Police Department, Ambulance Service, Department of Public Works, and Iowa City
Transit. If approved by the City Council, we would then work with the neighborhood to determine the
exact design of the gated barrier, Signage would also be erected on Lexington Avenue during those
months when the street is closed indicating to motorists that it is not a through street.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Please return your survey postcard no later than
April 13, 2001. If you have any questions, I can be contacted at 356-5252, or you may contact Beth

RE: Proposed traffic calming project on Lexington Avenue
A group of residents from Lexington Avenue has proposed a traffic calming project consisting of
the closure of Lexington Avenue for approximately eight months of the year. This proposal is
intended to deal with neighborhood perceptions of speeding traffic, and reckless driving on
Lexington Avenue. The proposal was originally for a year-round closure of Lexington Avenue;
however, this has been modified to leave Lexington Avenue open during the winter months.
This change was made to address concerns by Lexington Avenue residents, particularly near
the Park Road intersection, who wish to be able to access their residences from both River
Street and Park Road during the winter months. The attached information prepared for the
survey of the neighborhood summarizes the proposal in more detail.
In accordance with our appreved traffic calming process, we are asking for your comments on
the proposal. Please provide any comments or concerns no later than April 13, 2001. If the
neighborhood survey shows at least 60% of the respondents in favor of the proposal, it will be
forwarded to the City Council for consideration, along with all of your comments. If there is not
60% approval by the neighborhood, the proposal will not be forwarded to the City Council for
consideration.

temporary basis. The Airport Commission signed a six-month agreement with them to provide
aviation services, including fueling, charter, aircraft rental, pilot instruction, and mechanics.
There were only a few days when services were not available at the Airport. A NOTAM (Notice
to Airmen) has been filed with the Flight Service Station, announcing to pilots that services are
available at Iowa City.
lOW Aero is a new business that made a decision to operate at the lowa City Airport before the
situation with Iowa City Flying Service developed. The goal of lOW Aero is to make
recreational and business flying more affordable by offering memberships in a club that would
provide a variety of aircraft, from single engine training aircraft to twin engine turbo prop
business aircraft. Because of their connections in the aviation industry, they were quickly able to
supply the additional FBO services Iowa City wanted.
The Commission has received letters of interest from several firms interested in providing
aviation services for lowa City. The Cormmission will finish developing an RFP and proceed
with finding a company that will provide a full range of aviation services forthe lowa City
Airport.
A Commission meeting is scheduled for March 28, 2001, at 5:00 p.m. to discuss and possibly
take action on the settlement agreement with Iowa City Flying Service. Assistant City Attomey
Sue Dulek has done a lot of work on this agreement and should be commended.

513 South Riverside Drive
Iowa City, Iowa 52246
ATT: Mr. John Krieger
RE: EXPANSION OF BEER CAPACITY AT RIVERSIDE & GILBERT UNIT
Dear Mr. Krieger:
This letter will serve to confirm our conversation of this afternoon regarding
concerns of mine about aspects of the operation of the Kum & Go unit located at the corner
of Burlington & Gilbert Streets on the southeastern edge of downtown Iowa City.
I want to thank you for taking the time to listen to my concerns and to let you know
that your receptive attitude and obvious interest in my comments was greatly appreciated.
I am, however, perplexed by the seemingly obvious conflict between your
statement of the desire of the Kum & Go organization to be good citizens of the community
and to make a positive contribution to society in general and the decision that has been
made and, I assume, approved at some level of the Kum & Go hierarchy to expand the beer
capacity at at least this one unit. In order to hold "exotic" and "imported" beer and to
subsequently eliminate the stock of chilled 2z~-can cases of soda pop, a soft "non-alcoholic"
beverage, due to lack of sufficient refrigerator space to hold both the soda pop cases and
the newly expanded beer line is I think indicative of a marketing ploy that is badly flawed.
As you know the Iowa City Council, the University of Iowa' s Operation Step-Up,
and other concerned citizens in general have been struggling for an extended time period
with the twin issues of binge dnnking and of public drunkenness which sadly far-too-often
bespoil our community and present a less than desirable image to visitors and residents
alike. Additionally, these two issues collectively impact on public sanitation, health, and
the general safety of citizens as well as increasing certain cost factors which must be borne
by the citizenry in the overall operating budget of the municipality of Iowa City.
As I mentioned to you upon learning of this expansion of your beer line, "What
Iowa City needs more than a few more guns in the hands of crazies is more liquor being
made readily available". I am sure that a groat many people will share my view that this
current redesign of your store and the decision to enlarge the availability of alcohol
purchases of any kind at any convenience store is as unwarranted as is it undesirable from
several aspects. It is, I believe, truly be a step backward for both the community-at-large
and for Kum & Go as well. In addition to the possible additional legal ramifications and
liability that ensue to Kum & Go from this decision is it really the kind of policy or
operations statement that you wish to have identify your company in the minds of the
public? (Illusory or questionable profit above all else -- the public good be damned!)
Your small gains may come at a not inconsiderable cost in public relations and ill-feeling on
the part of citizens & officialdom that, quite simply, may not bode well for future relations.
I would respectfully assert, sir, that the need is for an expansion of the soft-drink,
bottled water, fruit drinks, and health beverages areas in all convenience outlets. We do
NOT need nor do we want to see an increase in the availability of liquor at bars or for
convenience purchase in a community that already has far too much drinking for individual
safety, public welfare, and the vitality and attractiveness of the downtown area.
I would strongly encourage that this marketing strategy be immediately rescinded
as a most regrettable error in judgment even if it should add marginally to your company' s
bottom-line. Does Kum & Go really want to undercut the message of moderation in alcohol
usage and/or add to possible individual abuse and collective social danger by increasing
vendor availability for a small increase in the bottom line? Is this really a wise decision?
I would also encourage and support action by the Iowa City Council to add
expansion of liquor holding capacity and/or sales as a factor to looked upon as not in
keeping with public health policy or safety when liquor licenses come before them for
renewal and to incorporate this sentiment into the appropriate section(s) of the City Code.

Dear Mr. Wiggins,
My name is Jerry Hansen and I am Chairman of a neighborhood
association in Iowa City called Wetherby Friends and Neighbors. I have
been approached by the Iowa City Police Department to write a letter
supporting their grant request from the Edward Burns Memorial Grant Fund.
The people that I have talked to about this grant have had some
reservations about the "Knock and Talk" aspect of it. I too have some
questions about that part of it but in the end what we fear more is the drive
by shoorings, apartments being shot into from the street, murder by arson,
fighting in the streets, cars being shot up, and loss of businesses in our
neighborhood.
Our neighborhood is on the 5outbeast side of Iowa City and is a focal
point for much of the drug trafficking in town. As a group of concerned
citizens we very much support the efforts of our Police to clean up this
plague that has visited us. It is our opinion that the Police can not do this
job without our help just as we could not do it without theirs.
It is sad to say that so much of this effort revolves around money,
but that is just the way it is. This is why it is so important that we receive
this grant. We stand behind our Police and will do everything in our power to
help them.

NEWS BELEASE
For Immediate Release: March 23, 2001
Contact: Bobby Anderson, Publicity Chair, 887-9607or
Transportation Experts June Holtz Kay und Burburu MeMillen to Heudline Areu Conference
In a discussion on public transit issues, a Johuson County Council of Governments report recently
asked the question, "It is difficult to provide efficient transit service to outlying low density, residential
development. Yet, this is the majority of housing that is being built. Should Coralville and Iowa City be
expected to provide transit service to this type of development?' Area residents are invited to discuss
possible answers to JCCOG's question and other issues relating to transportation at the .41ternative
Transportation Solutions for Today & Tomorrow- 2001 Iowa City Area Conference. National
transportation experts, such as Barbara McMillen - a pedestrian access specialist from the Federal
Highway Administration, Civil Rights Office who will address the theme of"Transportation for People
with Disabilities" - will be present for the April 27 and 28 event at the Sheraton Iowa City Hotel.
"Participants will have a chance to discuss, debate and help create an area-wide vision for the
Iowa City/Coralville metropolitan area, along with a wide array of participants," says conference PR chair
Bobby Anderson. The "History of the Car Culture and Automobile Dependence" will be the subject of
Jane Holtz Kay's opening Friday morning keynote address. Kay, from Boston, Massachusetts, is the
nationally known author of.4sphalt Nation. A review of the book by Publishers WeeMy notes that, "Kay,
architecture critic for the The Nation, argues forcefully bere that the automobile holds America in
economic, emotional and physical gridlock."
The two days of workshops, plenary sessions and panel discussion with local policy makers and
community activists will culminate in final sessions that will ask conference participants to examine
"Policy implementation and Public Participation: Creating a Vision for our Community." Tom Dunbar,
professional facilitator and consultant, will be the lead facilitator for the final session.
