8A.378 STATE CAPITOL VIEW PRESERVATION.
The department of administrative services shall develop a state
capitol view preservation plan. The purpose of the plan shall be to
ensure that the most scenic views of the state capitol remain
unobstructed by the erection of structures, including but not limited
to buildings, towers, and monuments.
The plan shall include proposals for height and setback
limitations of structures erected within the state capitol view, and
shall include appropriate drawings, schematics, and aerial
photographs necessary to establish the plan with sufficient clarity
and definition.
The department shall negotiate implementation of the plan with the
city of Des Moines with the goal of entering into a memorandum of
understanding in relation to the plan. The department shall provide
the governor and the capitol planning commission with quarterly
reports regarding progress made on the capitol view preservation plan
and execution of the memorandum of understanding. Section History: Recent Form
