This item is scheduled for discussion at Monday's Work Session. Outlined below is information to help prepare for that discussion. Background Iowa City has approximately 26 blocks of brick pavement. A recent inventory of our brick streets by our interns produced the following data: Blocks in Very Good Condition: 3 Blocks in Good Condition: 7 Blocks in Average Condition: 7 Blocks in Poor Condition: 6 Blocks in Very Poor Condition: 3 Total: 26 The attached map shows the location Iowa City's brick streets. Most of the streets in central Iowa City were originally paved with bricks. Two of the first streets to be paved were Linn St. and Brown St. to accommodate funeral processions from downtown churches to the city cemetery. Over time many of the streets have been reconstructed with different materials or overlaid with asphalt. Interestingly, the route from downtown to the cemetery has been preserved. Policy In the late 1980's a policy was adopted that no brick street be overlaid without the approval of the City Council. Since then, only two blocks of brick -Clinton St. from Wright to Benton -have been overlaid. The wet summer of 1993 caused rapid deterioration of this area, leading to its overlay. During the 1990's our preservation policy was expanded to address utility cuts. Excavations in brick streets for utility work are now required to be repaired with brick, preferably the same brick that was removed prior to the excavation. Stone curbs are also salvaged and reused if possible (this is difficult). We also dedicate $20,000 per year in our budget for miscellaneous spot repairs to brick streets. These repairs can be difficult because Iowa City's brick streets are paved with a variety of bricks of different sizes from different manufacturers. These bricks are a finite resource. There are dealers with stockpiles of antique bricks of various size and colors. Occasionally we find it necessary to purchase from these suppliers, but we prefer not to because of the price. We now make it a point to salvage bricks from construction projects whenever possible and stockpile them for future use. For instance, when we reconstructed Dodge Street a few years ago we knew there would be bricks under the December 2, 2010 Page 2 asphalt. These bricks were salvaged and sorted. Suitable bricks were palletized for future use. Many were discarded because they were broken. Analysis Our experience with small spot repairs is that they typically do not perform well in the long term. Often this is due to failure of the base material in the area around the repairs. The most cost effective and durable repair technique is to reconstruct/restore one or more blocks at a time. This reconstruction includes a completely new concrete base. Essentially we build a new concrete street and then cover it with a brick veneer. We have used this technique for the 100 block of Church Street and the 1000 block of Bowery Street. The cost to reconstruct/restore is about $290,000 per block. For comparison, one block of new concrete pavement averages $204,000 and one block of asphalt overlay averages $58,000. None of these estimates include storm sewer. If storm sewer is present, the cost to reconstruct/restore or replace with new concrete will be higher. Asphalt resurfacing does not alter the storm sewer system. Recommendations 1. Continue existing policies with regard to asphalt overlays, utility repairs and salvaging bricks. 2. Evaluate the remaining brick streets to see if there are locations that do not warrant the additional expense of brick preservation. 3. Prioritize remaining streets for reconstruction/restoration. Develop projects that are a minimum of one block in length. 4. Include the reconstruction/restoration projects for consideration in the Capital Program. 5. Continue to dedicate $20,000 per year to use as needed for temporary spot repairs.

This item is scheduled for discussion at Monday's Work Session. Outlined below is information to help prepare for that discussion. Backs round Iowa City has approximately 247 blocks of alleys. A recent inventory of our alleys performed by our interns produced the following data: Alley Surface T e Blocks in Good Condition Blocks in Average Condition Blocks in Poor Condition Total Blocks of Alle s Concrete 76 14 9 99 As halt 15 5 6 26 Chi Seal 4 12 12 28 Gravel 62 29 3 94 Total 157 60 30 247 Historically, alleys were a common part of subdivision design in Iowa City until the 1940's. Initially they served as access to stables for the care, feeding and lodging of horses, which was not a desirable front yard activity. Over time, stables gave way to garages and by the 1940's subdivision design changed to remove the automobile from the backyard. Around 2000, New Urbanism concepts were being considered for the Peninsula neighborhood that would reintroduce alleys in subdivision design. In hopes of limiting operational difficulties and maintenance issues experienced with old alleys, a City Policy Regarding Alleys was developed. A copy is attached to this memo. This policy outlined minimum requirements for new alleys, addressed operational issues (mostly related to garbage pickup) and put into writing the alley maintenance policy that had been in practice for a number of years. Also attached for your review are the results of an informal survey of alley maintenance practices in similarly sized Iowa communities. The Alley policy noted above does not address the cost of reconstructing or upgrading alleys, which is the heart of most alley complaints. Outlined below are five options that have been used, or attempted to be used, in Iowa City. 1. Special Assessment - Up until the late 1980's, the standard method to pave or repave an alley was by special assessment. The City designed and constructed the improvements and assessed 100% of the cost to the adjoining property owners. During the late 1980's special assessment projects in Iowa City were phased out as a method of project financing based on their unpopularity with those who were being assessed. 2. Cost Sharing -Under this option, the City will design and construct alley improvements and the adjoining property owners will contribute a portion of the cost. This method has been offered in a number of locations, but only December 2, 2010 Page 2 implemented once, along the north side of the New Pioneer Coop. Cost sharing worked in this instance because there was only one property owner to work with. In other areas where this has been tried, it has not been possible to get all the adjoining property owners to commit. 3. Private Project Built to City Standards -Under this option, the property owners organize and finance a project to reconstruct their alley to city standards. After such a project, the City would maintain the pavement for the duration of the design life, usually twenty to thirty years. The advantage of this option is that it would avoid certain expenses that are unique to the special assessment process dictated by the State Code. To date, this method has not been used in a residential setting because of the difficulty in getting all property owners to agree and participate. 4. Private Project Not Built to City Standards -Under this option, the property owners organize and finance a project to improve their alley, but not to full city standards. This type of project usually consists of a few inches of asphalt. Because of the limited durability of this option, the City does not maintain the pavement upon completion of the project. This obligation remains with the adjoining property owners. This method has been used a few times, usually without 100% participation so some property owners end up subsidizing others. Some of these projects have been successful while others have resulted in disputes between property owners about the work that was done. 5. City Project funded by the City -Under this option the project would be designed and funded exclusively by the City. I believe the only locations this method has been used is a few blocks in the central business district as part of Urban Renewal. The philosophy of the City's alley policies is based on the principle that alleys serve only the adjoining property owners and, as such, are the financial responsibility of only the adjoining property owners. However, cooperation amongst property owners has not proven to be an effective mechanism to fund alley maintenance or improvements. Even with City facilitation, cooperation is rare. The City's limited funds from Road Use Tax are reserved for streets and other components of the broader transportation system. Iowa's Road Use Tax has been fixed since 1989 without adjustment for inflation. Our Road Use Tax fund balance has been steadily declining and has reached a point at which we are using G.O. debt to pay for work that has traditionally been funded by road use tax. Analysis It is safe to say that the City does not commit the level of resources to alleys that adjoining property owners desire. While this is nothing new, the level of dissatisfaction is growing for two reasons. First, as time passes alleys that were paved long ago degrade into a condition that is no longer serviceable, adding to our list of unsatisfied residents. Second, when the City stopped assessment projects, alley improvements essentially came to a standstill. In short, the number of alleys in poor condition is growing faster than they are being remedied. The vast majority of our complaints come from these residents who abut alleys that were paved long ago and are now in very poor condition. The cost to reconstruct a block of alley without storm sewer is about $170,000. The cost to reconstruct using the special assessment process is about $181,000. December 2, 2010 Page 3 Gravel alleys present a different set of challenges. Most alley surface problems can be remedied with a few loads of rock and some grading. However, gravel alleys are often overgrown with trees and bushes that prohibit our trucks and motor grader from entering. These same trees and bushes cause traffic to shift around them and, over time, the alley migrates outside the right-of-way resulting in complaints from infringed property owners. Significant time by our survey crew and City Forester are necessary to sort these situations out. Occasionally, drainage or traffic conditions create situations where abutting property owners desire to upgrade their gravel alley to pavement. This type of upgrade has not been completed since special assessment projects stopped about 20 years ago. Recommendation Our maintenance practice for gravel alleys is not great, but for the most part it works. Improvements to these practices cannot be made without commitment of additional Road Use Tax funds for operational expenses. No changes are recommended at this time. Paved alleys in poor condition or gravel alleys that need to be upgraded to paving are our primary area of complaints. A functional remedy to these complaints has not existed for about 20 years. As noted earlier, our Road Use Tax fund is not a viable option. To upgrade or reconstruct an alley, one of the following financing methods is recommended: 1. Special assessment 2. G.O. Bonds Cc: Tom Marcus Dale Helling Ron Knoche Bud Stockman CITY POLICY REGARDING ALLEYS July 28, 2000 On June 7, 2000, the City Manager, Director of Public Works, Director of Planning and the Senior Planner met to discuss the appropriate ownership and long term maintenance responsibilities for alleys in the Peninsula neighborhood and the City's policy for alleys in new subdivisions and older neighborhoods. That discussion resulted in the following policy: • A developer will have an option of public or private ownership of alleys provided certain conditions are met. • All alleys designated for public ownership must be paved with PCC to a depth of 7" and a pavement surface of 16' within a 20' right-of-way and provided with an appropriate drainage system. The drainage system must consist of an inverted crown and may have a center drain graded to enable use of the street storm sewer system. • Private alleys must be paved, but may use asphalt at a standard of 4 inches minimum depth and 16 feet wide within a 20' wide public access easement. Garbage pickup will not be provided on asphalt alleys, except at the City's discretion. Private alleys will not be maintained or plowed by the City. • Paved public alleys will be maintained by the City throughout the design life of the pavement. Snow removal is the responsibility of abutting property owners or a homeowners' association. • No sumps (low spots) will be permitted in the grade of public or private alleys without a stormwater easement and adequate drainage swale designed to convey a 100- year rain event assuming the storm sewer is blocked. • Public alleys will not necessarily function as service alleys; the City will, at its discretion, determine the appropriate routes for garbage pickup. A clear zone may be required to enable garbage pickup service on alleys. Garbage pickup may be provided on private alleys, at the City's discretion and only with a properly executed agreement between the developer/abutting property owners and the City. • Existing platted alleys may be improved by the abutting property owners, at their cost, to the standard for new alleys noted above with the same provisions for public alleys. Unimproved public alleys will not be maintained or plowed by the City except as currently provided for (i.e. the City will spread, grade and roll an alley with rock provided by abutting residents). Improvement of an existing alley requires the consent/cooperation of abutting property owners; the City will not mediate a disagreement among the owners. • Intersecting alleys will be required to meet additional standards for width and turning radii. December 2, 2010 Comparison to Other Cities To evaluate how the City of Iowa City's alley policies compare to other established policies, an informal survey was taken of other cities in Iowa with similar populations. Iowa City (population of 68,903) was compared to Cedar Rapids (128,182), Davenport (101,306), Waterloo (66,896), Council Bluffs (59,911) and Ames (56,814). The results of the survey are summarized below. Cedar Rapids has 42 total miles of alleys. They do not have a formal documented policy but they will respond to complaints or petitions from residents if the demand is sufficient. Cedar Rapids also provides snow removal downtown as well as sanding, salting and sweeping for alleys used for garbage pick-up (Cedar Rapids). Davenport will respond to complaints of petitions from residents if the demand is sufficient. If they choose to repair or resurface alleys, the city will pay half of the cost and the other half is paid by the adjacent property owners (City of Davenport). Waterloo has a formal documented policy and will respond to complaints or petitions from residents if the demand is sufficient. The city pays for all repairs and resurfacing. Waterloo also provides snow removal for the alleys used for garbage pick-up (Waterloo). Council Bluffs does not have a formal documented policy but will respond to complaints or petitions from residents if the demand is sufficient. The city pays for all repairs and resurfacing that is needed in response (Council Bluffs). Ames has 7.33 total miles of alleys. They do not have a formal documented policy but they will respond to complaints or petitions from residents if the demand is sufficient. The adjacent property owners pay for material and transportation costs and the city pays for the resurfacing. Ames will also provide snow removal for paved alleys (Ames Cify Government).

In recent years it has become more difficult and time consuming for the Administrative Assistant to administer the permitting process and monitor the vendors for compliance. Thus there are several changes in the mobile vending program that staff wishes to recommend. 1. A maximum number of vendors are issued permits. Originally there were five and this was increased to six. It was further increased to eight when the two Iowa Avenue vendors were moved to City Plaza. Currently there are seven vending permits issued. With the proliferation of sidewalk cafes on City Plaza, placement of mobile vendors has become increasingly difficult, primarily due to less space outside the fire lane for vending carts to operate and objections from businesses with sidewalk cafes on City Plaza to having vending carts operating in close proximity to their outdoor diners. Mobile vendors were previously assigned two locations each from which they could operate. This has been reduced to one space each due to a decline in the number of suitable locations available. Staff recommendation: No new applications accepted until the number of permitted vendors is reduced to five through attrition. 2. Required hours of operation include lunch hours five days a week. Early evening hours were eliminated several years ago due to a lack of sales during that time. Originally the mobile vendors were the only outdoor food venue on City Plaza. With the increasing number of sidewalk cafes, the vendors' sales have declined significantly during the lunch hour as well. Most vendors indicate that in recent years they have realized little or no December 2, 2010 Page 2 profit during the lunch time operating hours. They have relied on profits in the late night and early morning hours to stay in business. Staff recommendation: Remove required hours and allow vendors to operate when they wish. In eliminating required hours, vendors would still be permitted to operate during the lunchtime or any other time they wish. However, it is anticipated that a majority of their business would be conducted in the late night and early morning hours. 3. All vendors sell food and must submit a proposed menu each year. We have attempted to promote a diversity of food products available. New applicants receive higher ratings if their proposed products are significantly different from those already sold by existing vendors; and existing vendors wishing to change their menu have generally not been approved to sell the same products as other vendors. However, it has become increasingly difficult to draw clear distinctions between products currently sold and those proposed by other vendors, and some vendors have interpreted our efforts to encourage a variety of available products as guaranteeing them an exclusive right to vend certain items. There are periodic disputes among vendors over the "similarity" of products and likewise, disagreements with the City staff over whether certain products are "different" from one another. The result has been a very time consuming and frustrating effort to satisfy the wishes of vendors with regard to the products they may or may not sell. Staff recommendation: Vendors be allowed to sell any and all products of their choice. We believe that permitting mobile vendors to select and sell their products in direct and open competition with all other vendors is an appropriate alternative and one which will significantly reduce the amount of staff time needed to administer the vending cart operation. All other regulations would remain essentially unchanged. Staff will focus on monitoring and enforcement of regulations that require vending carts: • Be entirely self-contained including disposal of refuse, grease, etc. generated from their operation. • Operate from their assigned locations. This ensures that vending carts remain an acceptable distance from sidewalk cares and that the fire lane remains unencumbered. December 2, 2010 Page 3 • Are properly maintained (paint or other exterior finish, canopies and other exterior accessories, signage, etc.) and remain clean and neat in appearance. • Remain currently licensed and inspected by the County Health Department. • Remain fully insured as required by the City. • Remain current in the payment of all fees and charges required by the City. • Comply with all other applicable ordinances and regulations. • Frequent or repeat violations may result in suspension or permanent revocation of a vendor's permit. This matter is a discussion item on your December 6, 2010 work session agenda and staff will be present. Feel free to contact either of us prior to the work session with any questions you may have.

The state grant program is aimed at helping Iowa communities incorporate the Iowa Smart Planning Principles into their local comprehensive plan, as outlined by the Iowa Smart Planning Legislation enacted in 2010. Iowa City was one of 31 cities in Iowa to receive the grant award, and one of only 6 cities to receive the maximum award amount of $50,000. Iowa City's last major comprehensive plan update was completed in 1997. Since then the city has undergone a number of changes that could affect the vision outlined by the last comprehensive plan update. The well-timed receipt of the grant award is an opportunity to offset City expenditure for the much-need plan update. We anticipate the comprehensive plan process will begin in the first quarter of 2011, and will be completed within 2 years. We will keep the Council informed as the plan process develops. The final plan will be adopted by the City Council after recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission according to our standard process.
