May 22, 1947
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen: With reference to
the attached peti~ion of Mr. B, A.
Schueller et al, requesting rewn-
iug of his property at Central Av-
enue and 30th Street to Local Busi-
ness classification, the Planning
and Zoning Commission respect-
fully recommends denial of the
petition, Yor the following reasons:
(1) 'Phe request involves the ra
coning of a single piece of prop-
erty which is illegal.
(2) Undoubtedly the locating and
operation of a bowling alley in a
residential district is objectionable.
The ~auswer to the questlon, "If not
personally interested, would you
want it along side your home," is
unanimously and invari~a-ble "No:'
(3) There is already a Business
District at 2Sth and Central and a
Local Business District ;at 32nd and
Ce~ltral, which is .ample for the
present in accordance with sound
zoning principles.
(4) In deciding such a matter
fiam a zoning standpoint, the
merits of a bowling alley as such,
130 Regular Session, June 2nd, 1947
and the desirability for additional
reel°eational facilities in the gen•
eral area are not relevant matters.
The effect ou property values and
the comfort and peace of adjacent
owners are the primary considera-
t10llS.
Yours truly,

Report on Dubuque, Iowa Municipal
Airport
Inspection made by W. G. White.
Date Inspection made May 6, 1947.
In company with R, G. Boyd,
Asst Engineer, Ictiva State High-
way Comtnissiou,
Location: The airport site is b-
oated in parts of Secs. 26, 27 and
34, T88N, R2E. It is also located
between US Highways 61 and 151
with a portion of the easterly
boundary adjacent to US Highway
61. The westerly boundary is ap-
proximately 0.4 miles from US
Highway 151.
Access Route Description: The
main access route follows US 61
from Dubuque to the proposed en-
trance ~mi this route. An auxiliary
route extends from the junction of
US Highways 61 and 151 apptaxf-
mately 2 miles south of Dubuque
and follows US. 151 to a point north-
west of the airport site, thence fol-
bows acounty road to the westerly
boundary of the airport site. The
starting point far the main route
was taken at the intersection of
Locust and West Seventh St. in
Dubuque, continues south on West
Seventh St, to a point near the
probable entrance on the easterly
lrouudary of the airport site near
the center of Sec. 26, T88N, R2E.
Within the city limits the streets
are paved Co a width of 50 feet~at
the starting point and through suc-
cessive width changes it is 18 ft.
at the south city limits, Frorn the
city limits to the proposed airport
entrance US Highway 61 is paved
with concrete 18 ft, in width with
6 ft: shoulders. The length of the
route 7.75 miles, of which 2.3 miles
are within the city and 5.45 miles
on the rural portion. The auxiliary
route on US Highway 151 extends
from the junction with US High-
way 61 in a southwesterly direction
for 3.50 miles, thence by a county
local road for 0,40 mile to the west-
erly loundary of this airport. The
length of the auxiliary route from
Special Session, June 30th, 1947 151
the junction with US 61 is 3.90
miles, of which 3.50 miles are on
US Highway 151 and 0.40 mile on
county road, ti. S. Highway 151 has
an 18 ft. concrete pavement with
6 ft. shoulders and the county read
is graded to a 26 ft, width with 20
ft. crushed rock surfacing,
Governmental Units Having Author-
ity Over Access Roads:
City streets-City of Dubuque
US Hwys 61 & 151 outside city-
Iowa State Highway Commission
County Local roads - Dubuque
County
Municipal Center Involved: Du-
buque with a population of 43,892
is the sponsor and the only munici-
pality involved.
Traffic: The annual average daily
traffic on US Highway 61 is 1200
vehicles from the airport entrance
to its junction with US Highway
151 from which point it increases
to approximately 2900 vehicles at
the south city limits. The traffic
on US Highway 151 is approximate-
ly 1200 vehicles, and on the county
local under 50 vehicles per day.
No available traffic data 'are avail-
able within the city, but the volume
materially inm'eases as the route
approaches the business section.
Nature of Access Road Changes
to Precede Site Development:
None.
Changes Recommended in Exist-
ing Road or Street: None at this
time. Ultimately it may be advis-
able to day-light the backsiopes of
the cut mi US Highway 61 to pro•
vide better sight distance at the
airport entrance. Also at some fu-
ture time it may be advisable to
regrade the county road from US
Highway I51 to a probable entrance
on the westerly side of the airport
site.
Plans for Additional Access facil•
ides: The topography near the air-
port site is quite hilly and it is prob-
able that ultimately access roads
within the airpot•t site will need
to be constructed to afford access
to the administr~,ti~on building from
both the east and the west. How
ever, it is believed that such access
facilities should lie constructed as
a part of the sponsor's obligation.
Cost Estimate; None.
Remarks & Recommendations:
The sight distance to the tempor-
ary entrance on US Highway 61 is
approximately 400 ft. in both direc-
tions. By dray-lighting the inside
of horizontal curvature on US
Highway 61 in both directions from
the entrance, it is believed that
the sight distance could be in-
creased 200 to 300 ft, By moving
the entrance south of the present
temporary entrance improved sight
distance might be ~obtaiued by be-
ing near the crest of the hill. The
sight distance at the junction with
the county road and US Highway
151 is approximately 800 ft, in
both directions.
The location and construction of
the proposed airport isdeemedto
be in the public interest and con-
currence in the selection of the
site shown on the attached loca•
tion sketch is recommended,
