8A.378 - STATE CAPITOL VIEW PRESERVATION.

        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.
