To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The Planning and Zoning Commission respectfully recommends to your Honorable Body denial of the attached peti- tion of the Dubuque Packing Com- pany requesting vacation of part oP sidewalk on north side of 16th Street adjacent to their property. The Planning and Zoning Commis- sion continues to consider 16th Street the main traffic artery to the future City Island Industrial Proj- ect and feels that it should not be narrowed; instead, it is the consid- ered judgment of the Commission that future traffic demands will call for considerable widening, possibly to 100 feet or more. At the meeting at which the . above actiton was taken, the ex- pressed attitude of. the i'lanning and Zoning Conmiission was that it would be willing at any time to meet the Dubuque Packing Com- parry representatives to discuss al- ternative measures which may bring about the desired result, Yours truly, DUBUQUE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, By R. V. McKay, Secretary. Councilman Thompson moved that the communication be referred back to the Pianufng and Zoning Commission to meet with the repre- sentatives of the Dubuque Packing .Company to discuss alternate meas- ures as suggested in the communica- cation.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At the session of the City Council held May 17th, verbal applications were received asking permission to erect "Quousat huts" for use as chvellings. It was .toted that these huts do not meat the state and local standards for dwell- ings. The effect of permitting sub- standard dwellings of rather drab appearance in established neighbor- hoods with an attendant deprecia- tion of property values was also discussed. It was suggested that consent of adjacent property own- ers be flrat obtained by the appli- cants and that any permits for such huts be Por a United period. The housing ehortage in this city being critical and with veterans and Heir families in dire Hoed of shel- ter, liberal attitudes and interpreta- tions must be made if suffering is to be averted. It is my recommen- dation that a segregated area be designated upon which "Quonset huts" or similar structures for use as dwellings be permitted for a pet~od of not to exceed flue years. City-owned Lot 3 of Randall's Sub. at the easterly end of Mt. Loretta Avenue with 'the construction of minor access roadways would lend itself for this purpose. A lease ar- rangement could be made with the applicants for a limited period at the termination of which the huts could be removed . Respectfully submittal, A. A. RHOMBERG, City Manager. Councilman Moffatt moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Rhomberg be approval. Sec- onded by Councilman Murphy.
