I ask that you consider me a candidate to fill the vacancy on the Planning and Zoning commission. I am a longtime resident of Iowa City and I have seen how rapidly the city can grow. If chosen to serve on the commission, I would make decisions based in large part on helping Iowa City become a prosperous and environmentally friendly city through long term planning. I believe the best way to improve Iowa City is to take a strategic look at urban planning, and to foster collaboration between the University of Iowa, the downtown business area and the residential areas surrounding the city. As a recent homebuyer, I have worked closely with real estate agents and I have taken note of certain trends involving school redistricting and the placement of commercial and industrial zones around the city. After talking with several residents of Iowa City and my friends in the urban planning division at the University of Iowa, I believe I have the knowledge and enthusiasm to help the commission advise the City Council on various planning and zoning issues, such as issuing commercial licenses to business owners operating in residential areas.

General Application January 2010 Page 3 of 7 Page 1 of 1 Z~~ , Marian Karr From: Wally [zinguy@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2010 6:36 PM To: Council Subject: P & Z Dear Council Members, As you know, I have had the opportunity to serve on the Planning and Zoning Commission for the last 5 years. I have learned a lot. My fellow commissioners raise valid points and bring perspectives that inform and expand my take on each item we hear and discuss. The public input that shapes our decisions is a constant reminder of the gravity our votes carry in people's lives. The range of projects we have considered during my tenure has filled me with admiration for the vision of some and near-despair at the short-sightedness of others. Mostly the last 5 years have taught me that I am just beginning to learn and I am hoping that you will give me the opportunity to serve another term in order to increase and use that knowledge to try and help make the Iowa City of 30 years from now as good, or better, a home as it is for us today. Please support my application to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Sincerely, Wally Plahutnik 400-8466 4/23/2010
