Attn: Planning & Zoning 50 West 13th Street Dubuque, IA 52001-4864 Dear Sir/Madam: As we have mentioned to your department, we are applying for cond, tional use permits for our property at 1145 Locust (which will be known as The Fanny Stout House"). We purchased the property as our primary residence. We have plans to use a portion of the house for other purposes, which include: · Victorian Progressive Dinner, hosted by the Dubuque Historical Society. We will be serving the dessert course. This will involve seating up to 55 oeople. · Host occasional special events"such as wedding anniversaries, corporate sales meetings office Christmas parties, etc. we might provide some food or refreshments, or have items catered in. · In the future, the house may be used as a B&B. Per our conversation with Guy Hemingway, we are providing the following information for your use in determining the number of parking credits. 1. The funeral home used most of the main floor for viewing, which according to the assessors' sheet shows 2,162 square feet. 2. The funeral home utilized about 1,000 square feet of the basement for coffin displays and sales. 3. The staff load for a large funeral was about 788 persons. ' 4. We own a detached parking lot, with 16 market spaces and room for 4 more (unmarked) at 12 Street and Bluff. We also have a t,485 square foot garage, with an adjacent ddve. We would not !ike to -. include the garage and ddve in the calculations because we intend to tear down the funeral home garage and re-convert the space to a courtyard and lawn. 5. Our proposed use for the house will result in a much less "dense" use of the available space. Funerals can involve anywhere from 10-2,500 visitors, most of whom drive separately. Our largest event may be 100 persons, for an event such as a wedding anniversary. Our target size group will be from 20-75 persons. We are talking with the adjacent Masonic Temple about a cooperative "co-use" of our two lots, so that we can each benefit from the parking available. I am a member of one of the lodges, and a Past Master of that same lodge. A final point for the commission to consider is the importance of finding appropriate adaptive reuses for properties of this type. This particular building is one of the most significant Victorian structures in Dubuque, and as such it is necessary to preserve it for future generations. We feel that our proposed use wilt allow us to restore the home to a high level, while still making it a functional and viable asset for use by citizens of Dubuque. Let me know if you need further information regarding the enclosed documents. Thank you in advance for your assistance and we look forward to working with you. Regards, Greg and Peggy Stover The Fanny Stout House DesCription Described as a "frenzy" of architectural styles the Fanny Stout House is considered by many to be the most Ornate example of Victorian architecture in Dubuque. It was built in 1892 by lumber baron Henry Stout as a wedding gift for his daughter Fanny. The entryway is a tour de force of elaborate woodwork beams and wainscot, highlighted by an equally stunning staircase with a 2-story high stained glass window. The parlor and library boast marble and onyx fireplaces with embellishments such as lion's head inserts. The HoUse has several marble bathrooms with original nickel hardware, and heated floors. Guests are pampered in a massive 36-ft. long dining room with ornate stained glass windows and a massive carved fireplace with lion's head motif. OR C-4 N Proposed area to be rezoned Greg and Peggy Stover Location: 1145 Locust Street Description: To rezone property from OR Office Residential District to OC Office Commercial District. REZONING STAFF REPORT Zoning Agenda: May 2, 2001 Property Address: Property Owner: Applicant: 1145 Locust St. Greg and Peggy Stover Greg and Peggy Stover Proposed Land Use: Bed & Breakfast/restaurant Proposed Zoning: OC Existing Land Use: Vacant funeral home Existing Zoning: OR Adjacent Land Use: Residential/commercial/office Adjacent Zoning: OPJR-4 Former Zoning: 1934 - MF Multi-Family Residential 1975 - OR1 Office Residential 1985 - OR Total Area: 9,500 sq. ft. Property History: The residence was built in 1895 as a large single-family home. The residence was one of three properties on the block. The first was the Stout House, which was built as a single-family home directly south of the subject property; and the second was the Masonic Temple, which was built directly north of the subject property. The subject residence then was converted to Egelhoff-Casper Funeral Home in the 1960's and is currently vacant. The property was originally zoned residential but was rezoned to office/residential in the 1970's because the character of the neighborhood had changed with the addition of the funeral home, library, union hall and other office uses in addition to single and multi-family residences. Physical Characteristics: The subject structure is a 5,800 square foot building on a level, 9,500 square foot through lot. The lot has frontage on Bluff Street, which allows one way traffic south, and on Locust Street which allows one way traffic north. There is metered parking on all streets surrounding the subject property. Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan makes no recommendations for this property. Impact of Request on: Utilities: Adequate utilities are in place and the conversion of the property from a funeral home to a bed & breakfast/restaurant should have very limited impact on them. Traffic PattemslCounts: The 1997 Iowa Department of Transportation Traffic Counts indicate 5,200 vehicle trips per day on Locust Street two blocks north of the subject property. Many of the permitted uses in an OC district tend to be Iow REZONING STAFF REPORT Page 2 intensity retail uses that do not generate high volumes of traffic. Specifically, a bed & breakfastJrestaurant would generate sporadic traffic generally in the evenings after peak traffic periods. Public Services: The proposed rezoning would have very limited impact on pUblic services. Environment: Because this is a highly urbanized, fully built environment, the proposed rezoning should have limited impact. Adjacent Properties: This is a densely developed highly mixed use area and the activities generated by an OC property should be compatible with the existing land uses. CIP Investments: The proposal should have very limited impact on CIP investments. Staff Analysis: The applicants are proposing to rezone the property at 1145 Locust Street from OR Office Residential zoning district to OC Office Commercial zoning district. The property is the former Egelhoff-Casper Funeral Home, which is a 5,800 square foot building on a 9,500 square foot lot. The adjacent properties are zoned OR and R-4 and consist of single and multi-family residential uses, a union hall, Masonic Temple, Stout House residence and offices, Carnegie-Stout Public Library and St. Mark Community Center. There is an 18-space parking lot associated with the property that is located approximately 85 feet from the back of the structure in an R-4 diStrict at thei southeast corner of 12th and Bluff Streets. There are 26 permitted uSes in an OC District which include single and multi-family residential, general offices, and Iow intensity commercial uses. The specific use proposed for this property is a bed & breakfastJrestaurant, which also will serve as a reception hall. The proposed use, and most uses permitted in the OC District, will be of a similar nature and intensity to the former funeral home and to the surrounding office, reception hall and multi-family uses. Staff recommends that the Commission review Section 6-1.1 of the Zoning Ordinance that establishes standards for reviewing rezoning requests.
