Description: To approve the Plat of Survey of Jaeger & Jaeger Place
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
The City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission has reviewed the above -cited
request. The application, staff report and related materials are attached for your review.
nicr,iccinn
Terry Koelker, Buesing & Associates, 1212 Locust Street, spoke on behalf of the property
owner, Fortin Real Estate, LLC. He explained that this is a simple subdivision that would
start with two lots and end with two lots. He stated the reason is to add parking spaces to
Lot 1, making it larger, thereby making Lot 2 smaller.
The Commission questioned whether the property owner was planning to sell the
property. Mr. Koelker confirmed the property has recently been sold to from Jaeger &
Jaeger, LLC to Fortin Real Estate, LLC.
Staff Member Moon detailed the staff report. She explained that while this is a simple
subdivision, which would generally be reviewed and approved by staff, this subdivision
requires waiving of bulk standards, which requires the Commission's review. Moon
explained that this subdivision would reallocate 855 square feet from the Iowa Street
property to the Loras Boulevard property for parking. She noted that the Zoning Board of
Adjustment recently granted a parking variance for the removal of two parking spaces
from the 1363 Iowa Street property. Moon stated that the Commission is being asked to
approve the plat and waive three bulk standards: lot area, lot coverage, and rear yard
setback. She pointed out the access easement connecting the rear of the subject property
to Loras Boulevard.
There were no public comments.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request finding it appropriate.

We owned 140 Loras Boulevard.. It was a 7-plex that was landlocked with no parking on the Street due
to it facing Loras and no parking in its alley or on any sides. It had 5 2 BR units plus 21BR units, Typically,
10-12 adults occupy the Loras building, and there are usthe residents have ually about 10 cars thatyP yt
to
park. Parking is free forth of Loras, but since St. Pat's Church and the rectory own the area just to the
north, the only real parking for Loras is North of Loras On Iowa Street or one block North on 15t' Street.
We purchased 1363 Iowa because it had garage that was dilapidated and needed tearing down. We felt
that by picking up that extra 26 feet of lineal footage in the alley, combining It with the lineal footage
behind Loras would allow for a parking lot for 140 Loras residents. 1563 Iowa does not have a bad
Parking problem because it has only 3 1BR units, so it his generally been occupied by only a total of B
People and either 2-3 cars, depending upon who the residents were. presently, 1 person on Iowa works
days so she doesn't need a permit to park right in front raf Iowa in the evening. One resident has a
metered street permit from the city. One other resident. is mostly away in the daytime, but if he is
home, he parks Y block north on the free parking on Iowa.
We tore down the old garage, applied for a permit and built a parking lot, working with Bob Chisel and
Max Srnith. We were able to get it so that 140 Loras has at bast 6 parking spaces. Two couples park
tandem and then two singles park in the middle two stalls. By doing the parking lot this way, 6/10
residents have off-street parking, which alleviates the shortage of parking that the building had prior to
us purchasing the building. We have done about $150,000 of improvements to the Loras building since
purchasing it in 2010, and it is considered contributing to the Jackson Park Historic District.
e are getting chase to retirement age, and we wish to Mart selling buildings. We had a replat done
because we had an offer to purchase 1363 Iowa Street back in May 2021. We had to obtain signatures
from 22 people in between the two buildings we own, the rowhouses, to be able to do the replat
because an out-of-date easement needed to be terminated. It took us nearly 9 months now and that
sale could not go through because once we got those signatures, we were told there are: variances
needed. We now have a new buyer that would buy both: buildings, but forthepermanent allocation of
the parking, the Loras building has 10 cars, so it needs the 6 spaces way more than the Iowa building
who only has B cars. We want the replat so that the parking lot is owned entirely by Loras,
We believe that these improvements improve or keep with the exiting usage for both buildings, and that
no neighbors object to this, especially since we just met'With there all and explained our intention and
they signed Gaff on it. We visited with Wally Wernimont, and he agrees with our -thinking. We come now
and formally petition for these variances. Thank you.

Hi Jackie,
Our office has been working with Terry Koelker(Buesirg) to process your subdivision plat (Jaeger & Jaeger Place).AsI
understand it, you were able to discuss the process with Wally and Terry last Friday. As a follow-up tothat discussion,
Wally requested that I provide you with the two applications you will need to process the plat as proposed. Please
note, we advise to proceed with the Parking Variance first and then proceed with the Simple Lot Split/Division.
I've attached the Variance Handout for the parking variance. Please review the information in the
packet and then you will need to complete the application page which is the last page of the document, I've filled |n
some of the information already so please fi|| |n'Lho nmrno|n|ng information and have the application signed and
returned boour office. Anapplication fee |oalso due atthe time ofsubrnytta|(we acdaptcredit card, cash, orchecks
made payable to the City of Dubuque). The fee for this application is $374 + $2 per public notice required, Fora
Variance application the Unified Development Codes requires us to notify all property owners within 20V of the
subject property. We have determined that 18 property owners are located with 200' of the subject site and
therefore the total application fee will ba$41O.
� The Variance will require review bvthe Zoning Board ofAdjustments which |saquasi-judicial board comprised
of five members. Theymeeting regularly onthe 4th Thursday ofevery month. In the chart below, I've provided
the dates for upcoming meetings along with the submittal deadline dates.
Slim p litLe Lot S /Division: |����1��mpleLot handout for the lot divisions. Please complete
the application page which kathe last page ofthe document. I've filled insome mfthe information already aoplease fill
in the remaining information and have the application signed and returned to our office. | want topoint out that the
application may seem olittle misleading because itisgeared toward simple lot splits when the new parcels created
are standard lots meeting all the required development standards. Because the new parcel you are proposing to
create would be a substandard lot with respect to the lot density, lot coverage, and rear setbacks, your plat will
require review by the City's Zoning Advisory Commission (ZAC) and City Council. Anapplication fee of$298 also due
at the time of submittal (we accept credit card, cash, or checks made payable to the City ofOubuqual.
m Below I've provided the upcoming dates for the IACand the City CounciUmeeting dates that would follow the
ZACda1es. As I mentioned above, we recommend proceeding with the Zoning Board of Adjustment first and
these dates below would follow the dates above.

RE: Jaeger & Jaeger Place Subdivision Plat
Dubuque, IA
INTRODUCTION
The submitted Jaeger & Jaeger Place simple subdivision' plat proposes to reconfigure
the property at 1363 Iowa Street as well as the adjacent property at 140 Loras Boulevard.
The property at 1363 Iowa Street is improved with a three-story brick building containing
3 residential units. The building was construct in 1880 and 2 paved parking spaces are
onsite. The property at 140 Loras Boulevard is improved with a three-story brick building
that was constructed in 1900 which contains 7 residential units and there are 2 parking
spaces onsite. The existing site configuration is shown in the image below.

The Unified Development Code Chapter 11 defines a Simple Subdivision as `Any subdivision or
consolidation of property in which no new streets, public or private, are proposed, which does not require
the construction of any public improvements, and which creates fewer than three lots."
Staff Memo — Jaeger & Jaeger Place Subdivision Plat, Dubuque, IA
The proposed plat would subdivide a portion of the 1363 Iowa Street property and
reallocate it to the 140 Loras Boulevard property. The property owner is seeking to
reconfigure the parcels in order to more adequately align the existing parking spaces with
the parking space demand for each property. Although the status -quo of total parking
spaces in the neighborhood would not be impacted, because the proposed subdivision
would remove the existing parking from 1363 Iowa Street, a Parking Variance request
was submitted and reviewed by the Zoning Board of Adjustment at their meeting on March
24, 2022. At that meeting the Zoning Board of Adjustment approved the Parking
Variance. The image below and attached subdivision plat depict the proposed
reconfiguration.

DISCUSSION
The properties at 1363 Iowa Street and 140 Loras Boulevard are under common
ownership. The proposed subdivision would reallocate approximately 855 square feet of
the western portion of 1363 Iowa Street to the 140 Loras Boulevard property. The subject
properties are both located within the OR — Office Residential zoning district within the
City of Dubuque.
The Zoning Advisory Commission and City Council are the reviewing authorities for
simple subdivisions that require a waiver of bulk regulations. The Zoning Advisory
Commission shall review the plat to determine whether it is in substantial conformance
with the Unified Development Code and has the authority to waive bulk regulations.
2
Staff Memo — Jaeger & Jaeger Place Subdivision Plat, Dubuque, IA
The Unified Development Code outlines bulk regulations for OR Office Residential zoning
district. These regulations address minimum lot frontage, required lot area per unit,
maximum lot coverage, setbacks, and maximum height. It is not uncommon for properties
in the neighborhood of the subject subdivision to be legally non -conforming with respect
to the code required bulk regulations. For example, the property at 140 Loras Boulevard
is legally non -conforming with respect to the bulk regulations for lot area, lot coverage,
and front setback. Because the proposed subdivision would not create a condition that
would increase these legally non -conforming conditions, a waiver of bulk regulations is
not required for that property.
The property at 1363 Iowa Street is currently legally non -conforming with respect to lot
area and lot frontage. While the proposed subdivision plat will not affect the lot frontage,
the lot area will increase the existing non -conformities and create two new non -confirming
conditions related to lot coverage and rear yard setback. Consequently, a waiver from the
bulk regulations is required in order to approve the proposed subdivision plat. Below is a
chart identifying the current code required bulk regulations, the current conditions on the
site and the proposed new condition resulting from the subdivision plat for 1363 Iowa
Street.

The City's Comprehensive Plan identifies the future land use for the subject properties as
Mixed Use which includes a mix of land uses such as residential and commercial, and a
mix of housing types from single-family homes to multi -family units. The subject
properties are both currently multi -family residential uses, and the proposed simple
subdivision will not result in a change of the residential use.
As requested, the proposed subdivision will have little effect on the status of the subject
lots or surrounding properties. Except for the aforementioned non -conforming conditions
on the 1363 Iowa Street property, the Jaeger & Jaeger Place subdivision plat will comply
with all aspects of the City of Dubuque's subdivision regulations contained in the Unified
Development Code and the land use goals within the City's Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff requests that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the Jaeger & Jaeger
Place subdivision plat and recommends approval as submitted of the Simple Subdivision
subject to waiving the bulk regulations for lot area, lot coverage, and rear yard setback
for the property at 1363 Iowa Street.
