MEMORANDUM
Date: March 22, 2002
To: City Council and City Manager ,~-~-~o~___,~4 ~ ~/7~
From: David Schoon, Economic Development Coordinat
Re: BDI Industrial Park Area Urban Renewal Plans
As directed by the City Council, staff has prepared three urban renewal plans for the older
industrial area in southeast Iowa City: the Heinz Road Urban Renewal Plan; the Industrial Park
Urban Renewal Plan; and the Lower Muscatine Road & Highway 6 Urban Renewal Plan.
Presented for Council action are resolutions setting dates for a consultation and a public hearing
on each of the proposed urban renewal plans. This is the first step in establishing the ability to
use tax increment financing in each of the districts (attached is a proposed time schedule and
steps for establishing a tax increment financing district). At its March 21, 2002, meeting, the
Council Economic Development Committee, by a vote of 3-0, recommended that the City
Council adopt the three urban renewal plans.
Each of the urban renewal pians before the Council would establish the ability to use tax
increment financing for any qualifying projects in the urban renewal area. The Plan states that
the City Council shall determine qualifying businesses based upon the City's economic
development financial assistance guidelines. In each of the areas tax increment financing could
be used for public infrastructure improvements, private site improvements, and financial
incentives to qualifying businesses.
The format and content of each of the three plans are similar to the Scott-Six Industrial Park
Urban Renewal Plan. In fact, much of the content of these three plans is similar to each other.
The City's stated objectives for each urban renewal area are outlined in each of the plans. Each
urban renewal plan also explains why it is in the City's interest to establish each urban renewal
area.
Prior to the City Council holding a public hearing on each of the urban renewal plans, the
Planning and Zoning Commission must provide its recommendation regarding the conformity of
each of the urban renewal plans with the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan - 1997. In addition, a
consultation must be held with the county, school district, and community college, in order to
provide these taxing entities with the opportunity to comment on the use of the incremental tax
revenues in each of the urban renewal areas. After the public hearing, the City Council will
consider adoption of the urban renewal plan and the TIF ordinance. The TIF ordinance
establishes the mechanics of separating the incremental tax revenues from the base tax
revenues.
I will be present at your April 1, 2002, work session to discuss any questions you may have.

Urban Renewal Area
Introduction
The Iowa City Comprehensive Plan - 1997 provides a vision for the economic
well-being for the residents of Iowa City and outlines the goals the community
must strive to achieve in order to attain its economic well-being vision. The
goals outlined in the Comprehensive Plan are:
· Diversify and increase the property tax base by (1} encouraging the retention
and expansion of existing industry and (2) attracting industries that have
growth potential and are compatible with existing businesses;
· Increase employment opportunities consistent with the available labor force;
· Provide and protect areas suitable for future industrial and commercial
development;
· Cooperate with local and regional organizations to promote economic
development within Iowa City;
· Improve the environmental and economic health of the community through
the efficient use of resources; and
· Consider financial incentives and programs to facilitate achieving the above
goals.
Over the years the Lower Muscatine Road & Highway 6 Urban Renewal Area
has provided a suitable area for industrial development, which has both
increased employment opportunities consistent with the available workforce
and which has diversified and increased the property tax base of the
community. The community's economic well-being has been improved through
the economic activities that have taken place in the Urban Renewal Area.
The opportunity is present for an kxisting business to expand on its existing
lot. The Lower Muscatine Road & Highway 6 Urban Renewal Area provides a
place in which the City can achieve its economic well-being goa'ls.
To achieve the primary objectives of this Plan, the City of Iowa City shall
undertake the urban renewal actions as specified in this Urban Renewal Plan,
pursuant to the powers granted to it under Chapter 403 of the 2001 Code of
Iowa, as amended.
Urban Renewal Plan Objectives
2
The overall goal of the Heinz Road Urban Renewal Plan is to formulate and
execute a workable program using public and private resources to further
develop the Urban Renewal Project Ai-~a for industrial development. The
following objectives have been established for the proposed Urban Renewal
Project Area:
· To encourage and support development that will maintain and expand the
taxable values of property within the Urban Renewal Project Area.
· To encourage the expansion of existing businesses and redevelopment of
existing sites.
· To encourage employers who will provide employment opportunities
consistent with the available workforce.

Current Constitutional Debt Limit of the City of Iowa City
The Constitution of the State of Iowa, Art/cie XI, Section 3, provides as follows:
~ndebtedne$$ of political or municipal corporations. No county, or other political or
municipal corporation shall be allowed to become indebted in any manner, or for
any purpose, to an amount, in the aggregate, exceeding .five per centum on the
value of taxable property within such county or corporation-to be ascertained by
the last State and County tax lists, previous to the incurring of such
indebtedness.,
Debt Limit Computation
As March 8, 2002
Total Assessed Actual Valuation $2,904,556,668
Legal Debt Limit of 5% of 2001 Assessed Actual Value $145,227,833
Debt Chargeable Against Limit $61,565,000
Legal Debt Limit Available $83,662,833
Proposed Amount of Indebtedness:
Through the actions of this urban renewal plan, the City of Iowa City proposes to
potentially incur indebtedness for public infrastructure improvements, private site
improvements, and financial incentives to qualifying businesses. Given the
uncertainty of the needs of future business development projects within the Urban
Renewal Area, the proposed amount of indebtedness is difficult to determine at this
time. The proposed amount of indebtedness to be incurred under this Urban Renewal
Plan, including loans, advances, indebtedness, or bonds which qualify, could equal
approximately $2.0 million over the 20 year period of the Urban Renewal Plan's Tax
Increment Financing District.

MEMORANDUM
Date: Mamh 22, 2002 -:
TO: City Council and City Manager o..-------"o~" ~ ~./7~.
From: David Schoon, Economic Development Coordinat
Re: BDI Industrial Park Area Urban Renewal Plans
As directed by the City Council, staff has prepared three urban renewal plans for the older
industrial area in southeast Iowa City: the Heinz Road Urban Renewal Plan; the Industrial Park
Urban Renewal Plan; and the Lower Muscatine Road & Highway 6 Urban Renewal Plan.
Presented for Council action are resolutions setting dates for a consultation and a public hearing
on each of the proposed urban renewal plans. This is the first step in establishing the ability to
use tax increment financing in each of the districts (attached is a proposed time schedule and
steps for establishing a tax increment financing district). At its March 21, 2002, meeting, the
Council Economic Development Committee, by a vote of 3-0, recommended that the City
Council adopt the three urban renewal plans.
Each of the urban renewal plans before the Council would establish the ability to use tax
increment financing for any qualifying projects in the urban renewal area. The Plan states that
the City Council shall determine qualifying businesses based upon the City's economic
development financial assistance guidelines. In each of the areas tax increment financin9 could
be used for public infrastructure improvements, private site improvements, and financial
incentives to qualifying businesses.
The format and content of each of the three plans are similar to the Scott-Six Industrial Park
Urban Renewal Plan. In fact, much of the content of these three plans is similar to each other.
The City's stated objectives for each urban renewal area are outlined in each of the plans. Each
urban renewal plan also explains why it is in the City's interest to establish each urban renewal
area.
Prior to the City Council holding a public hearing on each of the urban renewal plans, the
Planning and Zoning Commission must provide its recommendation regarding the conformity of
each of the urban renewal plans with the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan - 1997. In addition, a
consultation must be held with the county, school district, and community college, in order to
provide these taxing entities with the opportunity to comment on the use of the incremental tax
revenues in each of the urban renewal areas. After the public hearing, the Ci,ty Council will
consider adoption of the urban renewal plan and the TIF ordinance. The TIF ordinance
establishes the mechanics of separating the incremental tax revenues from the base tax
revenues.
I will be present at your April 1, 2002, work session to discuss any questions you may have

Heinz Road Urban Renewal Area
Introduction
The Iowa City Comprehensive Plan - 1997 provides a vision for the economic well-
being for the residents of Iowa City and outlines the goals the community must strive to
achieve in order to attain its economic well-being vision. The goals outlined in the
Comprehensive Plan are:
· Diversify and increase the property tax base by (1) encouraging the retention and
expansion of existing industry and (2) attracting industries that have growth potential
and are compatible with existing businesses;
· Increase employment oppodunities consistent with the available labor force;
· Provide and protect areas suitable for future industrial and commercial
development;
· Cooperate with local and regional organizations to promote economic development
within Iowa City;
· Improve the environmental and economic health of the community through the
efficient use of resources; and
· Consider financial incentives and programs to facilitate achieving the above goals.
Over the years the Heinz Road Urban Renewal Area has provided a suitable area for
industrial development, which has both increased employment opportunities consistent
with the available workforce and which has diversified and increased the property tax
base of the community. With the likes of national companies such as General Mills and
ACT in conjunction with local businesses such as Blooming Prairie Warehouse,
Economy Advertising, and Buckle Down Publishing, the community's economic well-
being has been improved.
Though only a few vacant parcels of land are available in the Heinz Road Urban
Renewal Area, opportunities are present for existing businesses to expand on existing
developed lots. The Heinz Road Urban Renewal Area provides a place in which the
City can continue to achieve its economic well-being goals.
To achieve the primary objectives of this Plan, the City of Iowa City shall undertake the
urban renewal actions as specified in this Urban Renewal Plan, pursuant to the powers
granted to it under Chapter 403 of the 2001 Code of Iowa, as amended.
Urban Renewal Plan Objectives
The overall goal of the Heinz Road Urban Renewal Plan is to formulate and execute a
workable program using public and private resources to further develop the Urban
Renewal Project Area for industrial development. The following objectives have been
established for the proposed Urban Renewal Project Area:
· To encourage and support development that will expand the taxable values of
property within the Urban Renewal Project Area.
· To encourage the development of start-up firms, the expansion of existing
businesses, and the attraction of new industries.
· To encourage employers who will provide employment opportunities consistent with
the available workforce.
· To make public and private infrastructure and site improvements as deemed
necessary by the City to support new and expanded industrial development;
· To provide financial incentives and assistance to qualifying businesses, as
necessary.
Description of Urban Renewal Area
The legal description of this proposed Urban Renewal Project Area is included in the
Plan as Addendum No. I - Legal Description.
The location and general boundaries of the Heinz Road Urban Renewal Plan Area are
shown on Addendum No. 2 - Location Map: Heinz Road Urban Renewal Project Area.
Proposed Urban Renewal Actions
Proposed urban renewal actions will consist of private site improvements, public
infrastructure improvements, and financial incentives to encourage industrial
development.
Private Site Improvements
Private site improvements may include, but are not limited to, demolition of existing
buildings and site preparation, design and construction of buildings, grading for building
construction and amenities; adequate paving and parking; adequate landscaping; and
on-site utilities.
Tax increment financing may be used by qualifying businesses to finance these private
site improvements. Qualifying businesses must meet the requirements of the Financial
Incentives section in order to use tax increment financing for private site improvements.
Public Infrastructure Improvements
Public infrastructure improvements may include, but are not limited to, stormwater
management facilities, public streets and sidewalks (such as the widening of Highway
6), sanitary sewers, and storm sewers. Tax increment financing shall be available to
finance the construction of these improvements, in whole or in part, at the City Council's
discretion.
Financial Incentives
3
Tax increment financing shall be available for providing direct grants, loans, or rebates
'for those qualifying businesses engaged in the uses allowed in the General Industrial (I-
1) Zone. The funds from the direct grants, laans, or rebates may be used for, but are
not limited to, financing the private site improvements listed above. Qualifying
businesses shall be determined by the City Council. The Council's determination shall
be based upon the financial assistance guidelines outlined in Addendum A of the
"Economic Development Policies, Strategies, and Actions for the City of Iowa City".
Conformance with Land Use Policy and Zoning Ordinance
Comprehensive Plan
The Land Use Map contained in the Comprehensive Plan illustrates the Urban Renewal
Project Area for industrial development, which is consistent with this Urban Renewal
Plan.
Current Zoning
The Project Area is presently zoned I-1, General Industrial Zone which is consistent
with this Urban Renewal Plan.
Current and Proposed Land Uses
The Project Area is presently used for industrial purposes. The proposed land uses
include industrial purposes, which are consistent with the current zoning.
Relocation of Families

Current Constitutional Debt Limit of the City of Iowa City
The Constitution of the State of Iowa, Article XI, Section 3, provides as follows:
"indebtedness of political or municipal corporations. No county, or other political or
municipal corporation shall be allowed to become indebted in any manner, or for any
purpose, to an amount, in the aggregate, exceeding five per centum on the value of
taxable property within such county or corporation-to be ascertained by the last State
and County tax lists, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness."
Debt Limit Computation
As March 8, 2002
Total Assessed Actual Valuation $2,904,556,668
Legal Debt Limit of 5% of 2001 Assessed Actual Value $145,227,833
Debt Chargeable Against Limit $61,565,000
Legal Debt Limit Available $83,662,833
Proposed Amount of Indebtedness:
Through the actions of this urban renewal plan, the City of Iowa City proposes to potentiarly
incur indebtedness for public infrastructure improvements, private site improvements, and
financial incentives to qualifying businesses. Given the uncertainty of the needs of future
business development projects within the Urban Renewal Area, the proposed amount of
indebtedness is difficult to determine at this time. The proposed amount of indebtedness to be
incurred under this Urban Renewal Plan, including loans, advances, indebtedness, or bonds
which qualify, could equal approximately $7.0 million over the 20 year period of the Urban
Renewal Plan's Tax Increment Financing District.

neighborhoods. PAAC will (1) develop a short video to show how neighborhoods in
other communities have used public art to provide neighborhood identity, (2) conduct
educational forums to demonstrate how neighborhoods might research their individual
history, (3) implement three artist-led charettes, and (4) provide the opportunity for
three professional Iowa artists to serve an apprenticeship in the methods of the
charette.
Short Video: The video will focus on neighborhood public art, as opposed to city public
art. Its purpose is to demonstrate how neighborhoods throughout the world have used
public art to create a sense of place. In producing this educational video we will draw
upon the videographic expertise of the City's Cable Television Staff, Channel 4 in Iowa
City. For content expertise, we shall consult Professor Wallace Tomasini, public art
authority at the University of Iowa. The video will be used to stimulate discussion at
neighborhood meetings. We will also make the video available to other Iowa
communities at their request.
History Forums: It is our belief that if the people of a neighborhood understand its
history, they can better understand the present and thereby more clearly define who
they are. Then and only then can they create a visual image to reflect their "Sense of
Place." Their intimate involvement in the process of defining their neighborhood
identity will strengthen their neighborhood relationships. Strong neighborhoods take
ownership of their public spaces and pubic life, and this strengthens neighborhood
vitality and public safety.
Charettes: A charette is an intense effort to solve design-related issues within a limited
time period. It provides a forum for ideas, and offers the advantage of giving
immediate feedback to the artist and neighborhood while giving mutual authorship to
the plan by all those who participate. There are two paramount advantages in the
charette method. First, it creates a highly collaborative atmosphere. Second, it brings
together all parties with a vested interest in the project for discussion and resolution of
issues up front. Although all participants at the beginning need more preparation,
charettes are relatively fast and inexpensive. They strengthen community and are
highly effective.
Four neighborhoods have been selected for Phase 1 of the project. They will have the
opportunity to work with an Iowa artist, experienced in the charette technique of
reciprocal exchange of ideas, to create the artistic concept for each neighborhood.
Charettes have been used in architectural design and city planning for some years.
Although relatively new in the field of public art, there are Iowa artists who have been
trained to use this method, and have conducted successfully public art charettes in
Iowa. We recognize that there is a need for more artists to be trained in this technique,
and are therefore designing our program to provide experienced artists the opportunity
Iowa Cib/Neighborhoods - "Sense of Place" through Art
Iowa Cit~ Public Art Advisory Committee
to train one-on-one with a charette artist. This will expand the number of Iowa artists
with experience as charette artists.
The process completed so far has included:
A committee with members from the Neighborhood Council and PAAC created a
conceptual design for the "Sense of Place" Project. This design included choosing the
neighborhoods to participate in Phase I and Phase II. The four strongest neighborhood
associations of Northside / Goosetown, Longfellow, and Wetherby were chosen for
Phase I. Abutting neighborhoods of College Green, Lucas Farms, Pepperwood / Grant
Wood / South Point were selected for Phase II. PAAC is applying for funding for Phase
1 "Sense of Place" Project with this proposal.
PHASE I:
1. A charette artist is selected to manage the "Sense of Place" Project (Decision of
the Iowa City Council, upon recommendation from PAAC, with input from the
neighborhoods in Phase I)
2. The managing charette artist will select two additional charette artists. Each of
the neighborhoods will have its own charette artist.
3. The video and history components are a cooperative venture between the artist-
administrator and PAAC.
4. The neighborhoods meet for training in how to research their community.
5. Each neighborhood meets to develop the general concept for their "Sense of
Place." (The entire team of three charette artists and three apprentices are
present for this initial meeting in each neighborhood. The first component of this
meeting is the video)
6. Each neighborhood meets to critique drawings and models (Only the charette
artist and apprentice assigned to that neighborhood will be present.)
7. A Neighborhood meets to refine and finalize the final concept (Only the charette
artist and apprentice assigned to that neighborhood will be present)
8. The charette artist provides a production design (PAAC approval required)
9. Production of the "Sense of Place" art (City oversight of the contract )
10. Installation (City oversight of the process)
11. Maintenance (Neighborhood and City cooperate)
There is an understanding that once the initial neighborhoods have completed their
process, they in turn will initiate Phase II, by mentoring an abutting neighborhood that
is less well organized. The artists that apprenticed in Phase I will take a lead
responsibility in Phase II with oversight from their original charette mentor.
PHASE Ih The neighborhood to neighborhood mentoring will be:
· Northside / Goosetown will mentor College Green
· Longfellow will mentor Lucas Farms
· Wetherby will mentor Pepperwood/Grant Wood/South Point
It is our expectation that this mentoring process will create binding relationships
between these neighborhoods which run north/south through our city like a ribbon.
Over the next decade we envision these neighborhoods will reach out to mentor their
Iowa Cit~ Neighborhoods - "Sense of Place" through Ar~
iowa Cib/Public Art Advisory Committee
neighbors to the east and west, and eventually weave a strong and supportive tapestry
of neighborhood identities across Iowa City. We believe our "Sense of Place" project
builds community.
B. PROJECT PARTICIPANTS
The Neighborhoods: The Iowa City Office of Neighborhood Services is an official
segment of city government. It supports and encourages neighborhood action and
provides ideas and resources that can help shape the future of a neighborhood. The
Neighborhood Services Coordinator acts as a liaison between the Neighborhood
Associations and the City government to address neighborhood concerns and
interests. There are currently 28 neighborhood associations within Iowa City of varying
levels of activity. The Neighborhood Council of Iowa City, a collaboration of
neighborhood associations, is also staffed by the Neighborhood Services Coordinator.
The Neighborhood Council works as one unit in an effort to address common issues or
concerns of all neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Council is currently in the
exploratory stages of working with the PAAC to determine a direction for public art in
neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Council also oversees and implements the
Program for Improving Neighborhoods (PIN) grant program.
The Public Art Advisory Committee: The PAAC, as stewards of the City of Iowa City,
has a mission to enhance the appearance of the city through the selection and
integration of art in a public environment. PAAC is an advisory committee of the Iowa
City Council. The committee develops the Public Arts Plan. It oversees
commissioning, procurement, maintenance, and deaccessioning of public art. The
committee advises on expenditures for public art, determines the type of art to be used
in a specific project, the artist to be engaged or the work to be purchased, and the
placement of public art. They also oversee the inventorying of public art, acceptance of
gifts of art.
In carrying out its directives PAAC seeks to involve the public through focus groups,
neighborhood meetings, and collaborative projects, such as this American Spirit
Project. This project is compatible with all formal objectives of PAAC related to the
"public good." The neighborhoods will educate themselves in both art and history as
they create their neighborhood identity. The charette method of neighborhood
participation will ensure the art is appropriate to the context of each location and that it
will excite and stimulate its audience while enhancing the appearance of the city.
Cable Television Staff - Staff for this department comprises over 100 years of total
experience with a complete production house of 5 fulltime and 15 part time employees.
Over 500 productions occur each year including PSA's, educational, instructional,
presentation, meeting, forums and documentary productions
Karin Franklin - Director of Department of Planning and Community Development
since 1991. Supervises staff of over 17. Staff coordinator for the PAAC.

C. ARTS~ HISTORIC, ETHNIC~ CULTURAL AND TOURISM VALUE
Historic Value: Iowa City over the years has made a consistent and concerted effort to
strengthen and promote cultural activity. The historic Englert Theatre is the latest in
that dynamic. The City has made major investments to support a pedestrian mall, an
expansive public art program, and to assist the business community to promote
galleries and cultural events.
Ethnic Value: Culture is an important institution for inclusion, outreach, and service to
under-served and minority constituents and new immigrants. For example,
neighborhoods can provide a forum for people of diverse cultures to come together to
express themselves through public art.
Cultural and Tourism Value: Iowa City's vitality in the arts is beginning to be noticed
nationally. In the past three years, several publications have listed Iowa City as a
desirable place to live. Cultural benefits ranked high in corporate and individual
decisions to make Iowa City their home. Those same cultural benefits, when fully
developed, will retain or attract business and in turn provide employment opportunities.
D. PUBLIC BENEFIT, MARKETING AND PROMOTION PLAN
Public Benefit: The benefits are three-fold:
(1) The charette process can lead to greater solidarity within a neighborhood, due to
the participatory nature of the interactive process. This solidarity can have several
beneficial consequences: (a) greater public safety due to neighborhood residents
taking responsibility for public behavior in "their" neighborhood, (b) better upkeep of
property, due to increased pride in "their" neighborhood, (c) increased level of civic
activity in support of public institutions.
(2) The charette process is designed to involve neighborhood residents in the creation
of public art, and this in turn creates individual and collective commitment to the results
of the process, that is, the public art that is produced. This "buying into" the end
product generates pride of ownership, and ownership in turn leads to responsibility
toward the public art. This reduces the likelihood of vandalism, because neighborhood
residents feel responsible for "their" art.
(3) Public art can be a focus for a neighborhood. If the public art has been created by
the residents through a truly participatory charette process, the residents will like the art
and will refer to it as a defining element of their neighborhood. The art can add
character to the neighborhood. It can furnish identity to the neighborhood. It is a point
of reference for the neighborhood. It defines "a sense of place."
Marketing and Promotion:
PAAC is confident our neighborhood leadership will do a superb job of neighbor-to-
neighbor marketing of "Sense of Place." Please see the attached letters of support
from the neighborhoods regarding their enthusiasm for participating in this program.
E. PROJECT EVALUATION
The participating neighborhoods will evaluate how effectively the project work in Phase
I of this proposal and incorporate any additional changes they feel would improve
Phase II. The PAAC will also be updated regularly regarding the status of the project
and requested to provide input/suggestions as necessary.
NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
March 25, 2002
Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee
Civic Center
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Members of the Committee:
The Northside Neighborhood Association enthusiastically endorses, embraces, and commits time to the
implementation of the proposal of the Iowa City Public Arts Advisory Committee and the Iowa City
Neighborhood Council to make a plan for bringing art to the neighborhoods of Iowa City.
The Northside Neighborhood Association was the first of Iowa City's neighborhoods to organize, forming in
1989 in connection with the city's Sesquicentennial. Initially, our association was primarily social;
organizing neighborhood fairs and house and garden tours; however, we quickly embraced advocacy -- in the
early 1990's organizing to stop construction of a heliport in our neighborhood.
Today, our association is grass-roots and participation-oriented, with monthly meetings attended by 50 or
more neighborhood residents, making decisions by consensus -- guided by a 10-member steering committee
and a number of task groups focused on specific concerns, including historic preservation, parks and
environment, traffic and parking, and safety and tranquility. Outcomes of our work include: tree planting,
zoning and speed limit enforcement, candidate forums, ordinance revisions, park clean-up, and home-
renovation education. Our monthly newsletter, distributed neighborhood-wide, keeps all neighbors
informed. We look forward to expanding our activities to include promotion of public art.
We take pride in the history of the Northside neighborhood. Its boundaries are within the original 1839 town
plat, and contain many of the city's oldest stone and brick cottages, dating to the early 1840s.
The neighborhood today is a diverse mixture of structures, uses, and residents. In addition to single-family
homes, we have a variety of businesses, schools, restaurants, theaters, chumhes, parks, high-density student
housing, and social service residences. Housing is diverse, ranging from emergency free housing and low
rent facilities to homes valued at over a halfa million dollars.
We are enthusiastic about the opportunity to bring art into our neighborhood. As we are at the heart of the
city we are a pedestrian population; our sidewalks and parks and front porches are used.
Art would have an immediate and positive impact.
As Iowa City's most diverse, vibrant, and active neighborhood, we enthusiastically endorse this proposal to
plan a process for developing art projects unique and fitting to our and other neighborhoods, and look
forward to word that it has been funded.

The Longfellow Neighborhood Association of Iowa City
11 March 2002
Dear Iowa City Arts Advisory Committee:
The Longfellow Neighborhood Association is pleased to be able to apply for a grant which will
lead to art in our neighborhood and which will involve us in discussions with other neighborhoods
leading up to the actual art installations. The Association's leadership constantly strives to
involve all segments of our diverse population in activities which will lead to the formation of a
greater sense of neighborhood.
The LNA was formed in 1991 by neighbors whose goals were to promote a sense of
neighborhood and to be proactive on issues which affect the quality of life in the neighborhood.
Thus the Association successfully worked with Iowa City staff and commissions to designate all
areas of the Longfellow neighborhood as either historical or conservation districts. The LNA has
applied for and received grants from the City of Iowa City to plant trees along our streets, to
create a recycling program in our neighborhood (before the city implemented such a plan) and
most recently to create a Website for our neighborhood. Other PIN grants were used to check
for lead in drinking water, to replace old toilets with water efficient models, to provide financial
assistance to Iow-income neighbors for sidewalk replacement, to build a nature trail adjacent to a
new housing development along Ralston Creek, to put toddler swings on the Longfellow School
playground, to plant spring flowering bulbs in public spaces throughout the neighborhood, and to
install an information plaque at an historic site in the neighborhood.
Non-grant activities are also numerous. A quarterly newsletter keeps neighbors informed of
upcoming programs and issues, while a summer garden walk draws hundreds of visitors to the
area annually. Past seasonal activities have included a guided tree identification walk in the fall,
a holiday caroling party, a sledding party, a Valentine's Day dance and a summer day camp for
kids from the neighborhood. We have organized or participated in public forums for City Council
candidates and we have members in regular attendance at the Iowa City Neighborhood Council
meetings.
Our neighborhood of roughly nine-hundred households reflects all sectors of society. Young
families, couples, singles and retirees all live side-by-side on tree-lined streets. Our housing
styles are diverse: Prairie-style four-squares, Queen Anne frame houses, Moffit stone cottages,
Craftsman-style bungalows and Victorian mansions.
Residents of the Longfellow neighborhood are active participants on civic boards and
commissions. Currently, two Iowa City Councilors, a member of the Planning and Zoning
Commission, two members of the Historic Preservation Commission, a vital member of The
Salvage Barn (recycling) and two members of the Public Arts Advisory Committee reside in our
neighborhood.
2
The selection of the Longfellow Neighborhood as one of the three neighborhoods for the initial
stage of neighborhood art development seems a logical fit as we have many artists and writers
living in our midst. Several past arts-related activities suggest that our Association members
would play an active role in any public art installations in our neighborhood.
Two years ago the LNA organized a tour of neighborhood artists' studios as a way to draw
attention to the arts in our neighborhood and to raise funds to support the Save the Englert
Theatre campaign. Visitors came from all over the city for the occasion. The event, a
resounding success, raised $3,000. For the campaign and was the first of several grass-roots
efforts to save the downtown building.
Another important arts-related activity occurred when the City decided to replace the Summit
Street bridge, Faidy early in the process a group of neighbor volunteers met with City engineers
and planners to discuss the parameters of the project. Later, another group met with the project
architect and provided design suggestions which were incorporated in the final execution of the
project.
For all these reasons, we feel assured that the Longfellow Neighborhood Association would
actively participate in an effort to further enhance art in our neighborhood.
Sincerely, ~.~~ ~.

Wetherby Friends and Neighbors
(An Iowa City, Iowa Neighborhood Association)
Dear Towa City Arts Advisory Committee:
Wetherby Friends and Neighbors has been searching, since we first formed,
to find ways of making Wetherby Park the focal point of our neighborhood. We are
not a typical neighborhood in the traditional sense. We do not have the churches,
meeting halls, tree canopied streets, or the public buildings that other
neighborhoods rely on as destinations or rallying points for its citizens to come
together to discuss issues or just have fun. The Steering Committee of Wetherby
Friends and Neighbors has discussed several forms of public art for Wetherby
Park as a drawing point over the last several years. Our problem is the same one
everyone else has, money. Our need for a neighborhood focal point is well
documented and we feel that any program that could help us toward that goal will
not only beautify the neighborhood but would draw us all closer to each other.
The Wetherby Neighborhood is the most culturally diverse in Towa City. For
decades it was ignored both politically and economically. This blindness has directly
led to the current conditions we experience. Three years ago a violent incident
ignited a fire that is still burning in the heartg and minds of those of us who
choose to call Wetherby home. Residents formed Wetherby Friends and Neighbors
to address the growing problems that we faced. Many meetings have been held,
ideas nurtured, volunteers recruited, funding found, and changes made. Residents
have stepped up to volunteer for Commissions and committees to bring more
political clout to our neighborhood. Our will is strong but our pockets are empty.
Public Art would be a wonderful way for the different cultures living here to
express themselves and feel that they too are a part of the neighborhood. The
Steering Committee of Wetherby Friends and Neighbors will do all it can to
motivate the residents to participate in such a worthwhile project. We have been
blessed with average citizens that care. People who volunteer their time and
talents to help us all grow and make a better place in which to live. The renovation
· Page 2 October 29, 2001
of Wetherby Park is a prime example of a volunteer effort. The writing of PIN
Grants to help the less fortunate have access to computers, trees to shade us in
our park, traffic control and new street lighting to make our streets safer, new
entry signs in the park, extra Police patrols for safety, getting our children
involved with prairie plantings in the park, and our Saturday Night Drive-In
program are all examples of beneficial projects that would not have happened
without volunteer participation from the neighborhood. We have accomplished all
of this in just three years. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life in the
Wetherby area and will do all in our power to help this program come alive.
Sincerely,
~Terry Hansen

RESALE AGREEMENT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT
2750 IRVING AVENUE
This Agreement is made between William H. Bryant and Deborah L. Bryant, husband and
wife, (hereinafter "Buyers") and the City of Iowa City, Iowa, a municipal corporation
(hereinafter "the City").
WHEREAS, Buyers executed a Residential Real Estate Purchase Agreement wherein they
offered to purchase from Marcus R. Carson and Kweli K. Carson, husband and wife, the
following-described real property located in Johnson County, Iowa:
Lot 57 of the resubdivision of Lot 51, Walden Hills, Iowa City, Iowa, according to
the plat of said subdivision recorded in Book 38, Page 327, Plat Records of
Johnson County, Iowa,
with a street address of 2750 Irving Avenue, Iowa City, Iowa, (hereinafter "the property"); and
WHEREAS, the City had previously sold the property to Marcus R. Carson and Kweli K. Carson
through the Affordable Dream Home Ownership Program; and
WHEREAS, the City will provide Buyers with a $34,000.00 loan which will be secured by a
second mortgage on the property and will decrease the original mortgage amount so that the
home will remain affordable to families at or below 80% median income; and
WHEREAS, Buyers qualify as an income-eligible family for the purchase of said property; and
WHEREAS, the City desires that the property remain affordable to subsequent low-income
purchasers for a period of not less than 15 years.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Buyers hereby agree and covenant that the property shall remain the Buyers' primary
residence for a period of not less than 15 years from the date of purchase, or until such
time as the property is resold. If the property is resold, Buyers hereby agree and covenant
that they shall comply with the remaining provisions of this agreement.
2. The City's second mortgage in the amount of $34,000.00 shall become due upon either of
the following: a) at such time as Buyers no longer use the property as their primary
residence; or b) upon resale of the property, regardless of when resale occurs. If the
property is resold, said second mortgage shall be paid out of the sale proceeds. Buyers
agree to pay City the full amount of said second mortgage regardless of when resale
occurs.
3. In the event Buyers wish to resell the property prior to March 15, 2017, the property must
be sold to an income-eligible household at fair market value. The City will determine
2
whether a prospective buyer qualifies as an income-eligible household, and the City must
approve all prospective buyers prior to resale of the property. The City will also
determine whether the sale price is fair market value, and the City must approve the price
before Buyers accept a purchase offer.
4. Should Buyers desire to resell the property prior to March 15, 2017, they must
immediately notify the City of their intent to sell and must actively market the property.
5. If Buyers are unable to secure a qualified buyer within three months of providing the City
notice of intent to sell, the City may assist Buyer with mortgage payments, and the City
may become actively involved in the marketing of the property. Any and all mortgage
payments made by the City must be repaid to the City from the proceeds of the resale.
6. If resale of the property occurs prior to March 15, 2017, the Buyers and the City shall
share the appreciated value of the property. Appreciated value is the difference between
the purchase price of the property and its market value at the time of resale, less the
depreciated value of any improvements made to the house from the time of this
Agreement to the date of resale, excluding all fees resulting from the resale, including,
but not limited to, all realtor fees, broker fees, and closing costs. The depreciated value of
improvements will be determined by an appraiser selected by the City. The percentage of
appreciated value received by the Buyers as a result of the sale depends on the number of
years the Buyers occupy the property prior to resale according to the schedule attached
hereto as "Exhibit A".
7. If Buyers are no longer able to continue making mortgage payments to the primary
bank/mortgage holder or fail to make mortgage payments for any reason, Buyers must
immediately notify the City. The City may then elect to take over the mortgage payments
until the property is sold. Any and all mortgage payments made by the City must be
repaid to the City from the proceeds of the resale. If the Buyers cease making mortgage
payments, the City is entitled to receive 100% of the appreciated value of the property
from the date of this Agreement to the time of resale. At the City's option, the Buyers
will grant the City of Iowa City a warranty deed in lieu of foreclosure of the City's second
mortgage to enable the City to resell the house to an eligible property owner.

Date: March 27, 2002
To: City Council
From: John Yapp, Associate Planner '~,~/¢~j~--
Re: Lacina Meadows Preliminary Plat
The March 21 staff repod for the Lacina Meadows preliminary plat refers to two
deficiencies that needed to be resolved, the surface of the proposed new road, and the
acceptance of the subdivision by the Hills Fire Department. The applicant has agreed to a
chip sealed surface for the proposed Lacina Drive, which meets City rural design
standards. The subdivision has also been accepted by the Hills Fire Department, and a
dry fire hydrant has been added to the proposed pond at their request.
The deficiencies noted in the staff report have been resolved, and there are no
outstanding design issues associated with this plat.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Jerry and Clarene Halverson, are requesting a preliminary plat of Lacina Meadows,
an 80.13 acre, 23-Lot residential subdivision on the west side of Dane Road, north of Osage
Street, and east of Naples Avenue. The property is zoned Suburban Residential, RS, and is
located in Fringe Area C outside of the City's growth boundary.
ANALYSIS:
Compliance with Fringe Area Agreement: This property is in Fringe Area C, outside of the
City's growth area. The Fringe Area Agreement between Johnson County and Iowa City states
that:
In the portions of Area C which are not within Iowa City's growth area and which
are zoned for non-farm development, development may occur in conformance
with Johnson County's Zoning Ordinance and City Rural Design Standards.
City Rural Design Standards: The City Rural Design Standards are minimum standards for
road and utility system design. The Lacina Meadows plat appears to conform to minimum City
Rural Design Standards except for the design of Lacina Drive. The rural design standard for
road surface is a 6-inch stone base and a 22-foot wide chipseal surface. The road cross-
section on the proposed plat shows a road with a 6-inch stone base, and contains a note that
asphaltic concrete possibly will be added to Lacina Drive in the future [italics added]. The rural
design standards are minimum standards to give the roads that suppod platted lots a minimum
amount of stability and dust-control. Staff will recommend that this plat be deferred until this
design standard can be met. At a minimum, no building permits should be issued until the
proposed road is chip-sealed or improved with another pavement surface such as asphalt.
Because this property is in the Old Mans Creek Watershed and in the County, accommodations
for stormwater management are not required, although a proposed pond is identified on the
plat.
Plat Design: The proposed plat consists of one new street, Lacina Drive, extendin9 between
Dane Road and Naples Avenue. Sixteen lots are proposed to have access off of Lacina Drive.
Three lots are proposed to have access off of Naples Avenue, two of which will share a
driveway. Four lots are proposed to have access off of Osage Street, sharing two access
points. Approximately 32 acres of open space is proposed.
Letter of approval from Fire Protection District: The City Rural Design Standards also
require a letter from the appropriate Fire Protection District, approving the location of hydrants,
water system, etc. In this case, this subdivision is in the Hills Fire District. Requiring the 'fire
protection infrastructure' to be approved by the appropriate Fire Protection District is also a
means of making sure the fire departments are cognizant of new homes being constructed in
their district. Staff recommends that the letter from the Hills Fire District be received prior to
Council consideration.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB02-0000,~, a preliminary plat of Lacina Meadows, be deferred,
3
pending resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies below.
Pending resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies below, staff recommends that SUB02-
00004, a preliminary plat of Lacina Meadows, an 80.13 acre, 23-1ot residential subdivision located
in Fringe Area C west of Dane Road and north of Osage Street, be approved, subject to a letter of
approval from the Hills Fire District being received prior to Council consideration.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. The detail on the plat needs to reflect the minimum City Rural Design Standards, which is a 6-
inch stone base and a chipseal surface. Other paved surfaces may also be permitted.
