BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In 2001, approximately 95 acres were annexed into the city for the Lindemann Subdivision. Upon
annexation, the western 35 acres were zoned Low Density Single Family Residential (RS -5), and
the eastern 60 acres were zoned Medium Density Single Family Residential (RS -8). The rezoning
was subject to a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA) that included requirements for the developer
to contribute funds to the City for the reconstruction of Lower West Branch Road to the north of the
property; inclusion of a greenway and trail along the stream and wetland corridor, and an
interconnected street pattern including future street connections to Lower West Branch Road.
A preliminary plat and Sensitive Areas Plan for Lindemann Subdivision with 261 -lots was approved
in in 2002. The Sensitive Areas Plan was required due to the presence of wetlands and a stream
corridor on the property. This is the reason for the OPD -5 and OPD -8 zoning designation. Since
2002, final plats have been approved for Lindemann Subdivision Parts 3 through 7 and most of
those lots have been built upon. The applicant is now requesting approval of preliminary plat and
sensitive areas development plan for Lindemann Subdivision Part Eight, the final phase of the
overall development. The proposal includes 36 single family lots, 3 lots with 41 townhouse style
dwellings, and an outlot for wetland preservation and parkland.
The applicant has indicated that they have used the "Good Neighbor Policy" and conducted a good
neighbor meeting on January 25. A summary of the report of the meeting is attached.
ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan: This property is located within the Northeast District. The district plan
indicates that the area is appropriate for single family residential uses with townhouses near
Lower West Branch Road. The district plan depicts a subdivision with interconnected streets and
a linear open space along the stream corridor. The proposed subdivision design, which includes
a mix of single family lots, townhouse style multifamily units, and a 5.16 -acre outlot for wetland
preservation and open space, is consistent with the concept for this area as shown in the district
plan.
Zoning Code: The eastern portion of the property is zoned Planned Development Overlay
Medium Density Single Family (OPD8) and the western portion is zoned Planned Development
Overlay Low Density Single Family (OPD -5). The OPD zoning designation was placed on this
property when an OPD plan was approved for the remainder of the Lindemann development
because of the presence of wetlands and a stream corridor. The subject area was identified as
an outlot for future development, but no specific OPD plan was approved. The applicant is now
proposing an OPD plan that includes a total of 41 townhouse style dwelling units on lots 9, 10 and
39. Lots 1 through 8 are single family lots that comply with the RS -5 zoning standards. Lots 11
through 38 are single family lots that comply with the RS -8 zoning standards.
General Planned Development Criteria: Applications for Planned Development rezonings are
reviewed for compliance with the following standards according to Article 14-3A of the Iowa City
Zoning Ordinance.
1.The density and design of the Planned Development will be compatible with and / or
complimentary to adjacent development in terms of land use, building mass and scale, open
space and traffic circulation and general layout.
Density: On Lots 9,10, and 37, the proposed density is approximately 9 units per acre. The overall
proposed density, including the area of Outlot A, the single family lots, and Lots 9, 10, and 39, is
4.26 units per acre. The overall density is compatible with the surrounding area and the underlying
RS -5 and RS -8 zoning, which allows a maximum density of 5 to 8 units per acre.
Land use and layout: The site plan shows 41 townhouse -style units located in 8 buildings. These
buildings have frontage on Lower West Branch Road, Kennith Drive, Danielle Street, and Olivia
Court, with vehicular access provided from private rear alleys. The private rear alleys for 6 of the
buildings surround a rectangular area of open space. The plat indicates that amenities, such as
seating and grills, may be provided in this area, which will be addressed in the final plat. Staff
recommends that the concept plan showing the amenities be included on the preliminary OPD
plan.
Mass and scale: The site plan shows 8 townhouse -style buildings with 4, 5, or 6 units per building,
with widths of 111.34', 139' or 166.67' respectively. The plat shows that each unit on these
buildings will be articulated to help keep these larger buildings in scale with the surrounding
neighborhood. There are similar townhouse buildings directly to the east of Lindemann
Subdivision. In staffs view the scale and mass of the proposed townhouse buildings is compatible
with the existing and proposed residential development.
Traffic circulation: The plat includes the creation or extension of three street: Danielle Street,
Kennith Drive, and Olivia Court. These streets, along with private rear alleys, will provide sufficient
traffic circulation for the Planned Development.
2. The development will not overburden existing streets and utilities.
Access to the development will be provided via Lower West Branch Road, along with streets
created and extended as part of this subdivision, as described above. These streets will be
sufficient to serve the proposed development and utilities will be constructed as part of the
subdivision.
3. The development will not adversely affect views, light and air, property values and privacy of
neighboring properties any more than would a conventional development.
The proposed planned development is surrounded by other lots to be developed as part of this
subdivision. The townhouses will be similar to others that exist in adjacent subdivisions. The
buildings will be two stories, similar to single family homes and townhouses in the neighborhood.
Both private and public open space is being provided to serve the residents of the development.
In staff's view the location, scale, and design of the proposed townhouses is compatible with the
larger neighborhood.
4. The combination of land uses and building types and any variation from the underlying zoning
requirements or from City standards will be in the public interest, in harmony with the purpose of
the zoning code and with other building regulations of the City.
The applicant is seeking variations in the RS -8 standards to allow multifamily buildings rather than
single family dwellings on individual lots and they propose to dedicate 5.16 acres of property to
the City for public open space. The plan also includes approximately 3.5 acres of private common
open space for use of the residents of the townhouses. In staffs view these variations will be in
the public interest by providing usable open space and by providing more diverse housing options
in this area.
Subdivision Regulations: The proposed subdivision meets all subdivision standards for street
and block design. In staff's view the subdivision design complies with the Neighborhood Design
Principles of the Northeast District Plan, including a variety of housing types, interconnected
streets, provision of open space, preservation of wetlands, and a continuation of the trail network
along the stream corridor.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The property contains wetlands and a stream corridor in the
area identified as Oultlot A. One of the purposes of the Sensitive Areas Ordinance is to foster
urban design that preserves open space and minimizes disturbance of environmentally sensitive
features and natural resources. The buffers required by the Sensitive Areas Ordinance are meant
to accomplish the goal of preserving the sensitive environmental features. A 100 -foot buffer is
required between the wetland and any development activity and a 15 -foot buffer is required
between the 30 -foot wide stream corridor and any development activity. The plat includes a
stream corridor buffer and the 100 -foot wetland buffer on the east side of Outlot A. These buffers
are contained within Outlot A, which will be dedicated to the City.
On the west side of the Outlot A, the applicant is requesting that a portion of the wetland buffer
be reduced from 100 feet to 25 feet. Section 14-51-6 E.3. of the zoning code allows for
consideration of buffer reductions where the wetland is less than 5 acres, does not contained
endangered species or plants of regional significance, is not located within a regulated stream
corridor, does not contain standing water, is not a forested wetland and does not provide habitat
for migratory birds. The applicant has submitted a wetland report indicating that the area for which
the wetland buffer reduction is being requested meets these requirements. Staff notes that the
wetland near the area where the buffer reduction is being requested was previously disturbed
when the sanitary sewer line was installed.
A small portion of the buffer will be on lots 6, 7, and 8. At the time a final plat approval a
conservation easement will be needed for those areas.
Neighborhood parkland: The applicant proposes to dedicate Outlot A, which contains 5.16 acres
is to be dedicated to the City for parkland. This will more than satisfy the neighborhood open space
requirements. Although Outlot A contains a significant area of undevelopable wetlands, there are
areas at the end of Lindemann Drive and Olivia Court that are suitable for active park uses. The
Parks and Recreation Commission has agreed to accept Outlot A.
Stormwater management: Stormwater will be directed into the exiting stormwater sewers and the
creek contained in Outlot A. Stormwater detetention will be provided in the Scott Park detention
regional basin, therefore no stormwater detention facilities are required on this property.
Infrastructure fees: Required fees include a watermain extension fee of $435 per acre and a
sanitary sewer tap -on fee of $1,038.26 per acre. When this property was annexed into the City in
2001 Lower West Branch Road was a county road built for rural traffic. As a condition of
annexation and zoning the property for development, the applicant agreed to contribute a portion
of the cost of improving Lower West Branch Road to City standards. Payment of these feels will
be need to addressed in the legal papers at the time of the final plat.
Revised plat: Staff received a revised plat on February 8 and is in the process of reviewing it. We
anticipate completing the review before the February 15 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends deferral of this application pending review of the revised plat. Upon resolution
of deficiencies staff would recommend approval of REZ18-0006/SUB18-0001, an application
submitted by Allen Homes, Inc. for a rezoning and Preliminary Plat and Sensitive Areas
Development Plan for Lindeman Subdivision Part Eight, a 39 -lot, 20.24 -acre residential
subdivision located in the OPD-5/OPD-8 zone located South of Lower West Branch Road and
North of Anna Street.

MEMORANDUM
Date: February 15, 2018
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Karen Howard, Associate Planner
Re: Zoning Code amendments to address changes to state law regarding occupancy
of residential dwellings
Introduction: In April 2017, the state legislature adopted a law to prohibit municipalities, after
Jan. 1, 2018, from enforcing any regulation that limits occupancy of rental property based on the
existence of familial relationships. Controlling occupancy is particularly important in college
towns, such as Iowa City where there is a high demand for student rental housing in
neighborhoods close to campus. Without reasonable controls on occupancy, singles, couples,
families, and retirees have a difficult time competing with groups of students for available single
family homes and duplex units, which can instead be rented and operated as de facto rooming
houses with new students moving in and out on a yearly basis. Establishing a balance between
short term rental opportunities for students and long term housing options for more permanent
residents has always been a challenge in Iowa City's central neighborhoods, which has now
been made more difficult by this change in state law.
In December, as a first phase of the effort to address this issue, the City Council adopted
changes to the Housing Code. These changes include a cap on the number of single family and
duplex rentals allowed in neighborhoods close to the UI campus, a limit on the amount space
within a dwelling that can be used as bedrooms, and a requirement for a minimum amount of
shared living space (living, dining, kitchen areas) within the dwelling based on the number of
bedrooms in the unit. In addition, a number of other requirements and enhanced enforcement
procedures were added to improve the safety and security of dwelling units in anticipation that
occupancies will increase. As a second phase of this effort, changes to the zoning code are
proposed, as described in this memo.
Background: In the Iowa City Zoning Code, residential uses are classified as either "Household
Living Uses" or "Group Living Uses." Household Living Uses include Single Family, Two Family
(duplexes), and Multi -Family Dwellings. One "household," as defined in the code, is allowed
within each of these types of dwelling units. In simplified terms, a household is currently defined
as a single person, or a family with up to one roomer, or a group of no more than 3 unrelated
persons. Group Living Uses are characterized by the residential occupancy of a dwelling by a
group of people who do not meet the definition of a household. Group Living Uses contain
private rooming units that provide facilities for living and sleeping, but not for cooking, and may
contain shared living spaces. Group Living Uses include rooming houses, group care facilities,
nursing homes, assisted living facilities, fraternities and sororities, and similar.
Page 2
Household Living is distinguished from Group Living in that members of a household live
together as a single housekeeping unit where the responsibilities and expenses of the
household are shared. For example, household members typically share food, household
supplies, vehicles, and all areas of the home are open to all members of the household. In
contrast, in a Group Living Use, such as a rooming house, individuals have their own private
living space and do not typically share household expenses, supplies, vehicles, and the like.
Since Group Living Uses tend to be larger in scale and occupancy than single family dwellings
or duplexes and typically need more space for parking, they are only allowed in higher density
multi -family and mixed-use zones. However, by eliminating the typical means of defining a
"household"(by familial status), it is much more difficult to determine whether a use is a Single
Family Use or whether it is a roominghouse. In other words, if an unlimited number of
individuals can rent a single family house, when is it no longer a single family use? At what point
does it become a rooming house? We will need to rely on other methods to prevent
overcrowded conditions and inappropriately scaled dwellings intended solely to maximum
residential occupancy without regard to the character, livability or long term stability of the
neighborhood.
Discussion of Solutions:
To address the issues described above and to promote safe, healthy, and stable residential
neighborhoods with a mix of housing types and adequate parking and open space for both
rental and owner households, the following changes to the zoning code are proposed:
1. There have been a number of changes to the occupancy limit for Household Living Uses
over the years. When those changes were adopted, occupancy of existing rental permits
were "grandfathered." Since there will no longer be a stated limit on the number of
unrelated persons within a unit, there is no longer a need to grandfather existing rental
occupancies, so these sections of the zoning code should be deleted.
2. To clarify how occupancy is determined, a cross reference to the Housing Code will be
added to all the base zone chapters, including the form -based zoning district chapter,
which will also provide notice that occupancy of properties that are not in compliance with
the minimum zoning requirements for parking and open space will be limited by the
provisions of the Housing Code,
3. The parking requirement for Single Family and Two Family Uses is currently 1 parking
space per dwelling unit plus 1 additional parking space for each additional unrelated
person in excess of two. Since a requirement based on familial status is no longer
enforceable, new parking requirements for single family homes and duplexes are
proposed, as follows:
• For 1 -bedroom and 2 -bedroom units: 1 parking space, plus one additional
parking space for each adult occupant beyond 3.
• For units with 3 or more bedrooms: 2 parking spaces plus one additional parking
space for each adult occupant beyond 3.
Page 3
This will keep parking requirements similar to what is currently required. For most single
family homes and duplexes the requirement will be only 1 or 2 parking spaces per unit.
Only for those households that include a higher number of adults will the parking
requirement be higher. Basing the parking on the number adult occupants is a
reasonable approximation of parking demand because, in general, the greater the
number of adults in the household the higher the number of vehicles. Parking for multi-
family and group living uses remain the same, since requirements for these housing
types are already based on the number of bedrooms, rather than the number of
unrelated occupants.
4. A change to the occupancy standard is proposed for accessory apartments, deleting
reference to the household definition that was tied to familial status and establishing an
occupancy limit of two individuals. Note that accessory apartments are only allowed on
owner -occupied properties and are limited to one bedroom.
5. A new rear setback requirement is proposed for single family and duplex uses in the RS -
8, RNS-12, RS -12, RM -12, RNS-20, and RM -20 zones in the Central and Downtown
Planning Districts. This new standard is proportional to the depth of the lot. These are
zones that are prevalent in the older neighborhoods close to campus and zones intended
to provide opportunities for more affordable, modest homes on smaller lots. They are also
areas that are now vulnerable to inappropriate expansions to increase occupancy. The
proposed formula is: lot depth minus 80 feet for lots greater than 100 feet in depth. For
smaller lots, the rear setback remains 20 feet. This new standard was recommended by
form -based code consultants from Opticos to ensure "house -scale" buildings by
preventing homes from being extended deep into the lot to create a duplex or to add an
excessive number of bedrooms to an existing single family home. This will help to control
occupancy and will maintain a consistent placement of homes on the lot with open rear
yard space behind the home. Language is added to clarify that garages located in the
rear yard and attached to the home by a narrow breezeway are treated as detached
accessory buildings, so are not subject to the principal building setback. In addition, the
code clarifies that rear yard porches, including screened -in porches may encroach into
the rear setback, since these are desirable amenities that are often added to an existing
home, but will not increase the occupancy.
6. The side setback for multi -family and group living uses is increased to 10 feet to be
consistent with the standard in Riverfront Crossings. This will ensure that there is at least
20 feet between multi -family buildings on abutting lots. Similarly, the rear setback in the
PRM Zone is changed to be consistent with the standard in the Riverfront Crossings
District. The current standards have resulted in the close spacing of multi -family
buildings, such as along S. Johnson and S. Van Buren Streets, creating crowded
conditions and concerns about privacy, safety, and livability for residents.
7. The number of bedrooms in attached single family and duplex units is limited to 4. This is
a clear and objective standard that will be easy to administer and will help to control
occupancy to a reasonable level for these housing types.
Page 4
8. To mirror the change made in the Housing Code, the minimum bedroom size in multi-
family uses is increased from 70 square feet to 100 square feet. Since parking is based
on the number of bedrooms and occupancy is no longer limited to 3 unrelated persons,
excessively large bedrooms greater than 225 square feet or with any dimension greater
than 16 feet will be counted as two or more bedrooms. This will prevent bedrooms with
enough space for double occupancy without a commensurate increase in the parking
provided. This large bedroom standard also applies to attached single family and
duplexes.
9. A new minimum open space requirement is proposed for all household types, including
single family, duplexes, multi -family and group living uses. For multi -family and group
living uses, the open space requirement mirrors the requirement and standards currently
applied in the Riverfront Crossings District at 10 square feet per bedroom. For detached
single family uses, a minimum of 500 square feet of usable open space is required in the
rear yard. For duplexes, 300 square feet of usable open space per unit is required in the
rear yard. For attached single family (zero lot line and townhouses), 150 square feet of
open space is required in the rear yard. To provide relief in cases for unusually
constrained lots or lots with little rear yard space, such as reverse corner lots, infill lots,
oddly shaped lots, and similar, an option to request a minor modification to these
standards is provided. However, it should be noted that occupancy of a rental unit will be
constrained if the lot does not fully meet the open space requirement.
10. The descriptions of the residential use categories are amended to more clearly
distinguish Household Living Uses from Group Living Uses. For household living, added
language introduces the term "single housekeeping unit', which is then included in the
new definition of "Household" in Chapter 14-9A, Definitions. The obsolete definition of
household that is based on familial relationship is deleted. In the "exceptions" section of
Household Living, it also clarifies that if there is more than one residential lease issued
per dwelling unit or if there are locks installed on bedroom doors that create de facto
rooming units where an individual resident can prevent other residents from entering
his/her private room, then the use is classified as a Group Living Use.
11. In the definitions chapter of the zoning code, in addition to amending the definition of
"household," a definition of "adult' is added, since parking requirements for single family
and duplex uses will be based on the number of adults. Such a requirement is reasonable
as generally adults are drivers and children are not. There are a few clarifications added
to the definitions of "roomer," 'rooming house', 'rooming unit," and "farm dwelling." Since
nonconforming rights are no longer granted for residential occupancy, the definition is
deleted.
12. In addition to the zoning code changes, the Council will be asked to add several clauses
to the Housing Code (Chapter 17-5), that address occupancy limits for single family and
duplex uses that do not meet the minimum parking or open space standards in the zoning
code. Also, a correction to the definition of "accessory dwelling unit' in the Housing Code
is necessary, since accessory dwelling units are not allowed for duplex uses. And finally,
Page 5
a clause is proposed to clarify that for existing single family and duplex rental units where
the percentage of bedroom space within the unit exceeds 35%, the use of those
bedrooms may continue, but no additional bedroom space may be added unless the unit
is brought into full compliance with the standard.
Recommendation: Staff recommends amending Title 14, Zoning Code, and Chapter 17-5,
Housing Code, as described in this memo and as indicated on the attached pages.
A red -lined version of proposed code amendments is attached. The underlined text is new
language to be added to the code and the strike -through notation indicates language to be
deleted.

Amend 14-4A-3 Residential Use Categories, as follows.
14-1A-2 Residential Use Categories
A. Household Living Uses
2. Characteristics
The residential occupancy of a dwelling unit by a single household or group
household, who are living together as a single housekeeping unit. The rival use
of the property is for long term residential living with each dwelling unit containings
its own facilities for living, sleeping, cooking and eating meals, and with all spaces
within the unit open to the entire household. The dwelling or dwelling units are
designed for residential living and any accessory use shall be secondary to the use of
the property as a residence. Tenancy is typicall arranged on a Yearly basis, but at
least on a month-to-month basis., or feF a lengeF peried.
3. Examples
Examples include uses from the subgroups listed below. The Single Family Uses are
further divided into various dwelling types, because these dwelling types have distinct
dimensional and development standards based on the zone in which they are located.
Group Households, given that they are a type of "household' rather than a type of
dwelling, are permitted in any type of dwelling listed in the three other subgroups.
a. Group Households
Group Households include only the following specific uses: elder family homes,
elder group homes, parental group homes, and family care homes, all as
defined in Article 14-9A, General Definitions.
b. Single Family Uses
A Single Family Use is a Household Living Use where there is no more than one
principal dwelling unit per lot. Single Family Uses include the following dwelling
types.
(1) Detachedsingle Family Dwellings. Farm dwellings; detached single family
houses; manufactured homes; modular homes; and mobile homes, if
converted to real property and taxed as a site built dwelling, as provided in
the Code of Iowa, as amended. (See Exceptions, below).
(2) Detached Zero Lot Line Dwellings
11
(3) Attached Single FamilyDwe//ings Attached zero -lot -line dwellings;
townhouse dwellings.
C. Two Family Uses
Two Family Uses are Household Living Uses in which there are two principal
dwelling units within a single building and both dwelling units are located on the
same lot. These uses are often referred to as duplexes.
d. Multi -Family Uses
Multi -Family Uses are Household Living Uses where there are three or more
principal dwellings units within a single building and all dwelling units within the
building are located on the same lot. These uses include apartments,
condominium apartments, elder apartments, assisted living apartments,
townhouse -style apartments and condominiums, efficiency apartments, and
dwelling units located within mixed-use buildings.
4. Accessory Uses
Private recreational uses; storage buildings; parking for residents' vehicles. Home
occupations, accessory dwelling units, childcare homes, and bed and breakfast
facilities are accessory uses that are subject to additional regulations outlined in
Article 14-4C, Accessory Uses and Buildings. Any accessory use of the property shall
remain secondary to the principal use of the property for residential living.
S. Exceptions
a. Mobile homes located within manufactured housing parks approved through a
Planned Development process are considered Detached Single Family Dwellings,
regardless of whether they are converted to real property and taxed as site built
dwellings.
b. Detached Single Family Dwellings and Detached Zero Lot Line Dwellings
approved through a Planned Development process are considered Single Family
Uses for purposes of this Title, even if they are located on one common lot and
sold as condominiums.
C. Single Family Uses that contain accessory apartments are not considered a Two
Family Use.
d. Mixed-use buildings containing dwelling units are always considered Multi -Family
Uses, regardless of the number of dwelling units within the building.
e. Uses such as hotels, motels, and guest houses, which by definition may arrange
tenancy for periods shorter than one month, are not considered residential.
They are considered a form of temporary lodging and are classified as
Hospitality -Oriented Retail.
f. Transient housing, which by definition arranges tenancy for periods shorter than
one month, is not considered residential. It is considered a form of temporary
lodging or shelter and is classified as Community Service - Shelter.
g. Alternatives to incarceration, such as halfway houses, where residents are
placed in the facility by court order and are under supervision of employees or
contractees of the Department of Corrections, are classified as Detention
Facilities.
h. Any Single Family Dwelling or dwelling unit within a Two Family Dwelling where
there is more than one residential lease issued per unit or where there are locks
12
installed on bedroom doors through which one resident may prevent other
residents from entering his/her private room(s) when he/she is not phvsically
present is classified as a Group Living Use, unless the dwelling meets the
definition of a Group Household.
B. Group Living Uses
2. Characteristics
Group Living uses are characterized by the residential occupancy of a dwelling by a
group of people roomers that who do not meet the definition of a `household" or
"group household". Tle size ef'M. greup a s typieally larger ^�z^ than the a...a^e
Tenancy is arranged on a month-to-month basis, or for
a longer period. Group Living structures contain individual, private rooming units that
are not open to all the residents of the dwelling. Rooming units contain private space
for living and sleeping, but not for cooking. • th _: vate er shared bathreem `adli ^^

RE: Water shut off to install larger main for Kinnick House
Hello Karin,
The City is not participating in the cost of the water main extension. The extension is necessary to service the new
house. The new service is not needed for water capacity reasons, but rather the main is being extended south on Lusk
along with the fire hydrant.
We certainly apologize for the inconvenience this causes. There is simply not a way to isolate the impact to just the one
house.
I would be happy to meet with you or others to go through this in more detail.
Have a nice weekend,

Subject: Water shut off to install larger main for Kinnick House
Hi Geoff,
I received the email below from a concerned neighbor regarding water shut off in order to install a larger water main for
the Kinnick House:
"Those of us who live on Rowland, Lusk and Bayard just had a notice taped to our front door today by the City Water
Dept. indicating that our water service will be shut down next Tuesday, February 20 from 8:00 AM until late afternoon to
accommodate the builders of the Kinnick Party House who need a larger water main installed.
How is this possible?
Why are they allowed to disrupt our lives like this.
Can anything be done to stop, or at least, delay this disruption?"
My questions are:
1. Why is a new larger water service necessary?
2. How much of the cost is being provided by the City?
Thank you,
Karin Southard

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
Hello! I hope this finds you well. Been meaning to write and thank you for the many
fine improvements to the downtown area. You've made us all the more proud of our
city.
My main purpose in writing today is to put forward a number of reasons as to why I
should be permitted to live in an agreeable abode, and not, say, run out of town.
While reading an item in the CR Gazette concerning low-income housing in Iowa City,
I learned that you've provided for such in the Riverfront Crossings development. So let
me commend you on that score as well.
The article went on to say that some among the developers were dubious concerning said
requirement. One needn't look far to find reasons as to why that might be so, I suppose,
but...
The thing is, I'm among the `invisible disabled' and of exceedingly modest means, and
yet would very much like to move into one of the buildings planned for the Crossings.
So I thought I'd share a few fun facts about me, pertaining to how I've busied myself over
the course of my adult life — while sparing you the details of the horrors endured.
Given that you must be very busy indeed, I will simply telegraph the highlights of that
history by way of the attached documents and thereby also lend credence to an otherwise
arguably "out there" set of claims. And because it seems to me that material wealth is not
the only indicator of one's worth. No doubt you understand.
In brief, then, I hope to supply you with ammunition wherewith you might gre8 the

Here's a stunner: Nobelist Frank Wilczek, talking about the same stuff I've been on about for
30 years, regarding vision v. color, action, symmetry, projective geometry, and gauge theory.
His thoughts on color vision appear to be somewhat preliminary.*
In his discussion of color space, he appeals to the color cube, e.g.,
whereas the color sphere makes more sense when we begin to
think about the internal spaces of gauge theory and the higher
dimensions of M -theory — which now look to be intimately
related.
(I like Wilczek's use of the term property space, which is more suggestive for our purposes
than the traditional fiber -bundle space, the usual mathematical setting for particle physics.)
There is also the helpful example of the unit sphere. Heisenberg's formulation of
quantum mechanics assigns all physical states to vectors, which live on spheres in Hilbert
space.
Changing a photon state, e.g., entails rotating its vector, which also rotates the photon's color
vector in a perfectly regular way.
Why is this important?

The "hard problem" is considered vis-a-vis Gddel's work on formal systems,
tensor network theory, the vector character of sensory qualities, the symmetries
and phase relations of those qualities and Heisenberg's matrix formulation of
quantum theory. An identity is considered vis-a-vis the secondary properties
of perception and (1) the hidden variables of quantum theory; (2) the internal
spaces of gauge theory; and (3) the additional dimensions of M -theory.

Can Qualitative Biophysics Solve the Hard Problem? 7
Greene seems to imply that string theory is more fundamental than
QM. Mass, charge and spin of all elementary particles (six quarks: up,
down, top, bottom, charm, strange; six leptons: electron, muon, tau, electron
neutrino, muon neutrino, tau neutrino; five bosons: gluon, photon, z -boson,
w -boson and Higgs boson) are associated with the pattern of vibration that
a string executes (Greene, 1999). If string theory is correct, then we should
be able to derive elementary particles from strings. The idea that the fundamental
elements of reality are strings instead of particles is consistent
with our proposal, since strings have both energy and patterns of activity
with a degree of self -similarity across spatial dimensions (Flanagan, 2003),
supporting the "brute fact" of existence of qualitative aspects in nature.
When introducing the qualitative aspect in physics, we address the
issue of incompleteness of QM (Einstein et al, 1935, Flanagan, 2003). It is
well known that QM has many different and divergent interpretations,
some of them purely epistemic, while others attempt to introduce ontological
considerations to better understand the underlying reality. The
debate famously began with Albert Einstein's dialogue with Niels Bohr
(Einstein, 1971; Einstein et al., 1935) about the incompleteness of QM,
inspiring David Bohm's effort of postulating an Implicate Order (Bohm,
1952,1980,1985,1987; Bohm & Hiley,1993), a wavelike continuum informational
domain to explain the observed, discrete Explicate Order. The
philosophical and physical implications of quantum entanglement in
terms of implicate order are elaborated in Caponigro et al. (2010).
There is a possibility of understanding EWs as the components of
Bohm's Implicate Order, being expressed in observable domains of reality,
including the living brain. In neuroscience, Karl Pribratn s work (Pribram,
1987,1997,1999, 2007) used Bohm's insight to figure how the brain could
generate meaning and consciousness. Another theoretical approach to
the reality underlying the quantum probabilistic picture is Quantum
o
Field Theory, also used in the context of neuroscience and consciousness

Hi Paul
To be legal to register and plate this for street use it would have to have a
manufacturer's certificate of origin and a federal highway safety label. The label
would show the VIN and state that the unit was built to conform to all national
highway safety standards. If it doesn't, the only other possible option is to contact
the Iowa DOT Office of Vehicle Services to see if it would qualify for a restricted
registration. These are issued to disabled individuals for a vehicle that doesn't
meet equipment requirements due to its design and use. It has to be inspected
and approved an there are limitations on where and when it can be operated. For
more information on this you can contact the DOT at 515-237-3110. Otherwise it
can't be operated on the streets.
Thanks

The quick answer is that it cannot be driven on the sidewalks in Iowa City, because it is a
"motor vehicle" according to Iowa City code. To be driven on the roads, it would need to be
registered with Johnson County. I would check with them to see if it meets the registration
requirements. Their number is 319.356.6091.
Good luck.

It appears that the answer that I provided before still holds true. It is not allowed on
sidewalks in Iowa City and only allowed on streets if it is registered with Johnson County.
Below is the email I received from the Office of the City Attorney. As it states toward the
bottom, if you feel that the City Code should be changed, please reach out to them to discuss
it. Good luck.
These are never easy (and often somewhat convoluted because the definitions were
written before all these various devices were manufactured) and involves various
definitions—
Under the City Code, it's a 'motorcycle." Under the definition below, its a motorcycle
because it's a "motor vehicle" and not a "motorized bicycle."
MOTORCYCLE: Every motor vehicle having a saddle or seat for the use of a rider
and designed to travel on not more than three (3) wheels in contact with the
ground, including a motor scooter but excluding a tractor and a motorized bicycle.
It's a "motor vehicle" because it's mechanically self-propelled" and is not an "electronic
personal assistive mobility devices" (ie, Segway).
MOTOR VEHICLE: Every vehicle mechanically self-propelled excluding electric
personal assistive mobility devices.
EDIr
It's a "vehicle" because it's not moved by human power. FEB 2 0 2018
City Clerk
Iowa City, Iowa
VEHICLE: Every device in, upon or by which any person or property is or may be
transported or drawn upon a highway. "Vehicle" does not include: a) devices used
exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks; or b) any device moved by human power.
It's not a motorized bicycle because it has more than 2 wheels.
MOTORIZED BICYCLE OR MOTOR BICYCLE OR MOPED: A two (2) wheeled vehicle
having a saddle or seat for use of a rider, with an engine having a displacement no
greater than fifty (50) cubic centimetres and not capable of operating at a speed in
excess of twenty five (25) miles per hour on level ground unassisted by human
power.
It's not an electric personal assistive mobility devices because it's not a non -tandem 2
wheeled device.
ELECTRIC PERSONAL ASSISTIVE MOBILITY DEVICE: A self -balancing, non -tandem
two (2) wheeled device powered by an electric propulsion system that averages
seven hundred fifty (750) watts and is designed to transport one person, with a
maximum speed on a paved level surface of less than twenty (20) miles per hour.
The maximum speed shall be calculated based on operation of the device by a
person who weighs one hundred seventy (170) pounds when the device is powered
solely by the electric propulsion system. For purposes of this chapter, "electric
personal assistive mobility device" does not include an "assistive device" as defined
in section 216E.1 of the Iowa Code.
In terms of ADA issues, we have a provision, for example, for the ped mall in Section
10-5-38 that allows certain motorized vehicles in the ped mall. The key to the
exception is that the device is 'designed for use by persons with disabilities." I don't
think that the scooter in question is designed for this purpose as is, for example, a
motorized wheelchair. Therefore, I don't see an ADA issue.
10-5-38. Nonmotorized Vehicles: No person shall travel upon or operate a
nonmotorized vehicle within the City Plaza, except for persons with disabilities
using a vehicle designed for use by persons with disabilities.
Additionally, it cannot be operated on park trails under section 10-9-28 because it's a
"vehicle."
As a result, in Iowa City, it is a motorcycle and therefore cannot legally be on sidewalks.
If he would like to have Council amend the ordinance, he can write to Council, come to
a Council meeting (items not on the agenda), or speak with a council member. When
Segways became popular, the Code was amended to allow them on sidewalk except in
the central downtown district (see Section 9-10-2).
Not the end of the story, of course. This device is a "motor vehicle" under Section 321.'.
of the Iowa Code. Under state law, motor vehicles must be registered by the County in
order to be operated on a street unless one of the exceptions in 321.18 apply, and none
seem to apply. Will the County Treasurer register it?
So ----he can't operate the scooter on sidewalks in Iowa City under the City Code, and if
he can't get it registered with the County, he doesn't appear that he can operate on the
street by state law.

Hello council,
As a musician in Iowa City for the last 33 years I cannot think of a better idea than to name the new fountain stage after
Dennis Jones. Dennis was a friend and mentor to my group Shade of Blue. He really deserves this. You will be hard
pressed to find anyone who knows and worked with Dennis who wouldn't agree.

Pedestrian Mall Fountain Stage - Dennis Jones memorial
Hello,
I would like to encourage the Iowa City Council to name the pedestrian mall fountain stage after the late local
sound person Dennis Jones.
Dennis might not have been a wealthy person or a powerful politician, but it would certainly be honorable to
name the stage in recognition of someone who actually loved the art and had a hand in shaping it at that
location. It's good to recognize that as a community we also appreciate those who operate the spotlight for
others, not just those who stand in it. I am sure his friends and family would smile upon seeing a reminder of
his humble craft and love for the arts at this stage.
Thank you,

Subject: Inquiring about an Interview
Hello,
My name is Andrew Wendel and I am student here at the University of Iowa. This semester I am conducting a research
project about the economic value of alcohol and alcohol policy. I am analyzing and conducting interviews of various
perspectives of all sides of the issue. This includes bar owners, managers, students, and hopefully those of you on the
city council. I understand that you are all very busy, and I would love to get the chance to interview those of you who are
willing. My questions would consist of those covering various points of the topic such as:
"What is the city council trying to do or has done in the past about alcohol in Iowa City and its negative social impact?"
"What are the economic benefits of having such a vast bar scene in Iowa City?"
"How effective have city ordinances and policies been on alcohol issues, and how is that effectiveness measured?"
These three questions are my main points of the project because the project goal is for me to develop a hypothetical
alcohol policy, maintaining the economic benefit while decreasing the negative social impact of alcohol. Overall, the
project goal is an honors thesis for my Global Criminology class, and I have to design my own project while proving the
overall statement that the U.S. government targets certain drugs and substances based on economic value and the main
user, when they could be designing policy that makes the negative social impact minimal while also taking advantage the
potential economic benefit for the entire population.
Obviously, I will adhere to your busy schedules, and am greatly looking forward to meeting you in person and getting a
chance to have a conversation with you about this topic.

Hello,
I would be happy to assist, but Regency is not in the City's corporate limits. They are in the County. If looking
at issues concerning the park, the County would need to be contacted. If discussing water/sewer issues, the
best contact would be the Department of Natural Resources.
Thanks, Tracy

RE: A Petition about the Northeast Iowa City Neighborhood Deer Problem
Dear Council Members,
I represent many Iowa City Northeast home owners who are concerned about the
problems of an overpopulation of deer in the Northeast side of Iowa City. Together
we present our signed Petition for your timely consideration and action of

We, who signed this Petition, implore you to appropriately consider the fact that it
has been over 14 years since the last humane deer removal program. After a
serious review of the problems that this Petition lists, first agree there is an
overpopulation problem and secondly consider the need for the Iowa City Council to
take appropriate action to address this problem.
We thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Regina's sports facility/Administrative Hearing 3l
Dear City Council Member, (Date)
Owners of the Park Plaza Condo Building each received a letter from Mr. Tim Hennes, Acting Building Official
for Neighborhood and Development Services, on February 27, 2018, to inform us of a Minor Modification to
the Zoning Ordinance Regina is requesting. An administrative hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, March 13th at
11:00 am.
The problems we are having with this are: the concrete pads, duct work, electrical are already in place for these
condensers, a walk -around the building shows there may be as many as 5 of these air conditioner condensers
with the bulk of them being located on the east side of the facility, maybe 5 units, all facing 1st Avenue. Regina's
plan to provide screening will do little to protect the neighbors from the noise these mechanicals will create.
Questions we have are why did we, neighbors, not know this was the plan? Did the plans you viewed and
approved show this? Why would Regina go ahead and have everything ready unless they knew it was going to
be approved and this is just a formality to appease the neighbors?
If you have driven north on 1st Avenue, past Regina's new drive, the sports facility is hard to miss, it's an
enormous, cavernous metal building that overwhelms; it has truly impacted our neighborhood, there is no way
to not see this structure. It will be hard to keep it cool during our summers no matter how well it is insulated.
The Park Plaza building, our building, has suffered mud and water run-off from this building site. This sludge
runs to the City's sewers, we have pictures of one of the drains filled to capacity with a grate being entirely
clogged with wet mud. And then there's the traffic coming and going from the new drive. First Avenue is a
heavily trafficked route and iced over during the winter. We have witnessed drivers cutting through using this
drive to avoid the light.
One of the many reasons we bought into this condo building was the very large decks at each corner. We all use
our decks, we love the location and that is why we all are willing to pay the nearly $4,000 in property tax it
takes to live here, together nearly $65,000. We would like to see the City take action to protect the neighbors.
Some considerations may be to put more of the condensers on the west side facing their parking lot where no
neighbors live, a solid sound reduction wall like those along expressways with green screening on the wall, the
side the neighbors see.
There are more phrases to Regina's plan which means there will be ongoing construction for years to come.
This sports facility will be used only for hitting/batting, wrestling and weight lifting, these, typically, are done
in a heated environment, but for us, it would be a hardship for us to no longer be able to enjoy our decks during
the summer because of the noise and maybe exhausts.
Sincerely,
Jim and Judy Buddenbaum
