Merlin Pfannkuch, 1424 Kellogg, noted the Staff Report indicated the request included $1,000 for a Community Development intern to monitor the LUPP update. He said while he didn't begrudge the intern being paid, he questioned the appropriateness of one group being paid with public money, if such funds are not available to all groups. Mark Snell, AEDC Executive Director, referred to his June 23, 1995 letter to Mayor Curtis, which noted an intern was hired with a matching grant from ISU to assist in prospect development and community development projects. He said while there had been initial thoughts of using the intern to monitor the LUPP process, it was felt that response to inquiries and development of a database regarding the existing industry's call program was a more efficient use of that person's time and skills.

Motion by Campbell, Second by Tedesco, to pass on first reading an ordinance amending the Municipal Code by adding a new section relative to the placement of signs on City property. Motion by Wirth, Second by Tedesco, that the main motion be amended to include a 48-hour time limit for posting of garage sale and yard sale signs. Vote on Motion to Amend: 5-0. Motion to amend declared carried 5-0. There was discussion regarding whether the ordinance should focus on prohibiting signs on bus stops, utility poles, traffic devices, etc. as well as the public right of way. There was discussion regarding whether allowing garage sale signs to be exempt might be construed as limiting the content of signs. Coun. Wirth called for the question, and Coun. Campbell seconded.

ORDINANCE APPROVING TEMPORARY PARKING MEASURES IN AMES HIGH SCHOOL AREA: Motion by Campbell, Second by Brown, to pass on first reading an ordinance approving temporary parking measures on 20th Street, McKinley Drive, Ridgewood Avenue, and Hayes Avenue, for the '95/96 school year. Mayor Curtis noted the Council had received correspondence on this issue from G.W. Anderson, 1417 20th Street. Les Holland, 2118 Hayes Avenue, expressed appreciation for the action the City has taken regarding parking limitation measures in this area, of City staff's efforts to meet with the residents, and said the result has been a temporary solution to a problem. He said residents have met with the School Board as well, but have yet to see any action on their part. He said school enrollment continues to grow, and a new subdivision northwest of 24th and Hayes will result in more traffic in the area. He asked that the Council work with the School Board in recognizing that growth is occurring in that area of the City and that more than temporary solutions are needed. He said the AHS parking lot would not hold the number of students. He urged the City and residents to contact the School Board to develop a forum to discuss a real solution to the problem. Mr. Holland said the residents in the area were unaware of Council's recent approval of a right-turn lane at the intersection of Hayes and 20th Street to try to relieve traffic congestion in the area. He said they were very much opposed to that construction for safety reasons, noting there was a daycare in the area. He said they felt the turn-lane wouldn't relieve the traffic congestion problem, and that more engineering study was needed before that project began. He said they hoped the City would work with the residents on that issue as well. Gus Anderson, 1417 20th Street, reviewed his letter distributed to the Council this evening, and said the neighborhood concurs with the ordinance as presented, but would also like parking to be restricted on the south side of 20th Street from Coolidge to Ridgewood from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. during the busiest morning commuting time. He said the traffic presented a problem for the approximately 2 dozen parents with children participating in the Northminster Church "latchkey" program. Del Bluhm, 1514 McKinley Drive, said he supported the previous testimony, and said the proposed amendment to the ordinance has an element of consistency for prohibitions in the area so people know when they can park. He said the high school parking lot was only built for 400 cars, when it was originally designed for 600. He said it is not large enough to accommodate the number of students now, and will get worse with growth in the area. Motion by Tedesco, Second by Brown, to table this issue and ask Staff to report back as to how the ordinance might be amended to accommodate the request. Vote on Motion: 2-3. Voting Aye: Brown, Tedesco. Voting Nay: Campbell, Hoffman, Wirth. Motion to table declared failed 2-3. Roll Call Vote on Main Motion: 4-1. Voting Aye: Brown, Campbell, Hoffman, Tedesco. Voting Nay: Wirth. Motion declared carried 4-1.

P-C PLAN FOR 4-STORY APARTMENT BUILDING AT 608 AND 612 DOUGLAS: Motion by Tedesco, Second by Brown, to adopt a Resolution approving a P-C Plan to allow a 4-story apartment building at 608 and 612 Douglas. Planning and Housing Director Brian O'Connell reviewed the Staff Report on this request to construct a 4-story, 18-unit apartment building with first floor covered parking, noting Staff recommended approval of the proposal with stipulations as noted in the Report. Tom Hinders, 817 Douglas Avenue, said he owned the property across the street from the subject property. He said the proposed building was overbuilt at 18 units, with 11 parking stalls proposed to back into the alley. He said there was a great deal of traffic in the alley, and that the parking lots are sometimes used to avoid 6th Street traffic. He said the problems could be resolved by reducing the number of units, and he did believe some building was needed in this area. He said he was also concerned about the precast concrete finish proposed for the building. He wondered if the City would have any control regarding the specifications for the material used, and making certain what was specified was actually installed. He noted all the surrounding buildings are brick masonry. He said a concrete building would be out of line. He said he also had concerns regarding whether or not the building would actually be completed. Dave Benson, 618 Douglas, said his law office is north of the subject property, and said he echoed Mr. Hinders' concerns, particularly regarding the 11 parking spaces proposed for the east side of the building. He said all of the surrounding properties have built parking lots where employees and customers can maneuver their cars within the lot. He said if the City approves this design, it would be endorsing a concept which allowed vehicles to maneuver on City right-of-way, the alley, and said 5 that would be a bad planning precedent to set. He said the 16-foot alley currently was used by vehicles, children, bicycles, and pedestrians from surrounding offices. He said allowing 11 vehicles to use the alley as the sole way of getting into the property was like "trying to squeeze too much water into a little balloon." He said this was too big a project for this parcel of real estate. Keith Hoffman, developer for the proposed project, said there was a one-year time restraint on the proposal granted in 1990, and he was not able to proceed with it at that time. He said that project was much larger than the new proposal. Mr. O'Connell clarified that once the property owner obtains a permit, construction must begin within 18 months. He said there is no time frame in which they must come to the City and seek the permit. Richard Roseland, Roseland Architects, 2330 Lincoln Way, discussed the narrative written by the firm as attached to the Staff Report, regarding the pre-cast concrete. He said the firm disagreed that the P-C ordinance as currently written referred to elevations of buildings, but rather makes reference to topographic elevations. He said while the firm has agreed to address the materials of the building because they feel it is important, they also feel the elevation reference in the ordinance should be addressed at some point. Mr. Roseland described the form liner that would be used for the precast material, and said it would not be poured-in-place concrete. He said the firm has not created a set of formal specifications at this point, and would like to see the plan approved before they get to that detail. He said he had submitted to Staff as an example, a picture of the ISU Library, which has a rusticated stone base. He said similar bases were used at the Public Library and at the City Hall. He said the precast and limestone is often used interchangeably. Mr. Hinders noted the 19 parking stalls as proposed would be under the building, and only residents, not visitors, would have door openers to get to those stalls. Mr. Roseland noted there would also be parking on the street available to visitors. Roll Call Vote on Motion: 3-2. Voting Aye: Campbell, Hoffman, Tedesco. Voting Nay: Brown, Wirth. Resolution declared failed 3-2 (4 votes required for passage.)

REVISED PARKING ORDINANCE FOR JENSEN AVENUE: Motion by Hoffman, Second by Campbell, to direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance changing parking prohibition on Jensen Avenue from the west side to the east side along a section from 24th Street to Luther Drive. Roll Call Vote: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. PARKING METER MAP REVISION FOR CHANGE IN BUS LOADING ZONES ON 5TH AND CLARK: Motion by Brown, Second by Hoffman, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 95-291 amending parking meter map to accommodate change in bus loading zones on 5th Street and 6 Clark Avenue. Public Works Director Paul Wiegand noted a correction to the Staff Report. He said Staff was proposing to add three metered spaces on Clark Avenue, south of 5th Street, where the existing bus stop is located, and one space on 5th Street just east of Clark. Motion by Tedesco, Second by Wirth, to amend the motion to include the additional parking space on 5th Street in the Parking Meter Map revision. Vote on Motion to Amend: 5-0. Motion to amend declared carried 5-0. Roll Call Vote on Main Motion as amended: 5-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby made a portion of these minutes. TRAFFIC SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM APPLICATION FOR LINCOLN WAY AND DUFF AVENUE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS: Motion by Campbell, Second by Brown, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 95-292 authorizing Traffic Safety Improvement Program application for Lincoln Way and Duff Avenue intersection improvements. Roll Call Vote: 5-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby made a portion of these minutes. ADDENDUM TO AGREEMENT WITH IDOT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF FRONTAGE ROAD ON U.S. 69 AT BLOOMINGTON: Motion by Tedesco, Second by Wirth, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 95-293 approving addendum to agreement with Iowa Department of Transportation for construction of frontage road on U.S. 69 (Grand Avenue) at Bloomington Road. Ron Morrow, 3604 Grand, said the City has held two informational meetings on Bloomington Road. He said at the first meeting, the original design included a frontage road on the east side of Grand that would extend past his home to Wheeler or Northridge. He said that design has been discarded. He said last Thursday, another informational meeting was held which showed the proposed frontage road taken out, and a median proposed for the North side of Bloomington Road up to the Walden property. He said the median would not allow any access from his property onto Grand Avenue, except to go north. He said the City Engineer told him the Department of Transportation had indicated they may be able to put a cut in the median. He said the median would present problems for snow plows as well. Public Works Director Paul Wiegand said it was his understanding that private property accesses were going to be maintained through cuts in the median, but said he would check into the matter. Mr. Morrow said the City has designed the median for Bloomington Road, and has also reduced the speed limit from 45 to 35 mph. He said he saw no need for a median with a 35 mph speed limit. Roll Call Vote: 5-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby made a portion of these minutes. IDOT AGREEMENT FOR ENHANCEMENT FUNDS FOR HYLAND AVENUE BIKE PATH: Motion by Tedesco, Second by Campbell, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 95-294 approving Iowa Department of Transportation agreement for enhancement funds for Hyland Avenue bicycle path. Roll Call Vote: 5-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby made a portion of these minutes. COMMENTS AND FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: Coun. Wirth asked whether the public meetings with the Downtown Consultant are being videotaped. Planning and Housing Director Brian O'Connell said they were being taped and were available from the Cable TV Coordinator at City Hall. Motion by Hoffman, Second by Wirth, to refer to Staff the possibility of an ordinance setting 7 standards for the maintenance of undeveloped lots. Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. Coun. Hoffman said she had also referred to staff the matter of number of daily trip limits for a registered daycare center, and asked the status of that issue. Planning and Housing Director Brian O'Connell said the matter has been referred to Staff and it is hoped it will go before the Planning and Zoning Commission in July. He noted the case in question had already gone before the Zoning Board of Adjustment, and the Board pointed out that the applicant would have the responsibility of limiting the number of trips to comply with the ordinance until the ordinance is amended. He said the applicant received the full number of children she applied for, but the trip limit stands to be limited to 10 per day. Coun. Hoffman said she would urge that Staff not enforce the trip limit for daycare centers, and said it was very important that the community have registered daycare centers in homes. Mr. O'Connell explained how the number of 10 visits per day was originally derived from the Institute of Traffic Engineers' study showing that residential traffic in single-family homes is no more than 10 trips per day. He said when Home Occupation and Daycare permits are issued, the overriding principle upon which Staff's recommendation is based is that the basic fabric of a Residential neighborhood is unchanged. Coun. Hoffman said at the special meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Planning Policy Committee, there was discussion regarding a statement in Technical Memorandum #4 dealing with parks and undeveloped land. She asked if the Council was going revisiting that memorandum. Planning and Housing Director O'Connell said that Memorandum #4 was a Background and Needs Assessment. He said the entire document will come back to Council for approval of the Plan. He said Staff would keep track of what corrections Council felt were necessary and then direct the consultant to include them in the draft of the Plan, which would be a blend of all the technical background documents. Coun. Hoffman said there had been agreement that the section of Technical Memorandum #4 on page 32 needed to be tied into the Park Master Plan. Motion by Campbell, Second by Wirth, to direct Staff to prepare a proposal for reviewing bike racks in Campustown. Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m. Sandra L. Ryan, City Clerk Larry R. Curtis, Mayor 8
