ACTION ITEM~PERRY: Application of John & Tina Perry for approval of the Preliminary
Plat of Freedom Ridge Estates located along the north side of Oakland Farms Road in
Dubuque County.
John Perry, 14370 North Cascade Road, said that he wanted to develop 40 acres into
seven building lots. He said that Lot 1 would be undevelopable and that the lots would be
between two and five acres. Commissioner Schlitz asked if Lot 1 was located in the flood
plain and is unbuildable. Mr. Perry stated that it is in a flood plain. Commissioner Schlitz
asked about the 66-foot roadway easemenL Mr. Perry said that there is a utility easement
to access the rear lots but that a standard access was riot necessary.
Staff Member Kritz stated that there is a fringe area agreement with the County for this
property because it is in a primary growth area. He stated that the City's recommendation
is that there be 26 feet of pavement, or 27 feet of pavement if curb and gutter are installed,
and that easements be platted for future utility extensions. Commissioner Schlitz said the
City should not impose stricter standards on subdivisions in the County than those in the
City. He stated that he felt it put an economic burden on the developer. He stated he felt
comfortable with the development complying with the minimum county standards.
Mr. Perry said that the right-of-way minimum for City streets is 50 feet and he
recommended that the Commission consider using a 50-foot standard City right-of-way
with 22 feet of pavement enabling him to expand the street width in the future, if
necessary. Commissioners discussed the right-of-way width utility easements and
pavement widths. Commissioners felt that 66 foot wide right-of-way easement with 22 feet
of pavement was adequate. They expressed concerns about ensuring access for future
City utility extensions.
Motion by Schlitz, seconded by Stiles, to approve the preliminary plat of Freedom Ridge
Estates with the condition that adequate easements to ensure future extension of utilities
be indicated on the plat. Motion was approved by the following vote: Aye - Smith, Christ,

reacquire these from the City. He stated that the City had no objection property.

Commissioner Schlitz asked about the proposed senior housing project and potential
traffic. Staff Member Kdtz stated that the senior housing project had already been
reviewed and approved through the conditional use permit process, and that the request
was to accept the platting and transfer of three parcels.
Commissioners felt that the request would have very little impact on the adjacent
properties.
Motion by Christ, seconded by Stiles, to approve the final plat of Medical Associates
Subdivision No. 3. Motion was approved by the following vote: Aye - Smith, Christ, Stiles,
Schlitz, Roush and Bird; Nay - None.

approval of site plan approval for a Hy-Vee Convenience Store located in Asbury Plaza
Shopping Center at 4800 Asbury Road.

Advisory Commission to ensure compliance with the original standards set forth in the
planned unit development ordinance: He stated that the site plan is in substantial
compliance with both City site plan and PUD regulations. He recommended approval of
the site plan.
Commissioners felt that the site plan for the Hy-Vee convenience store met the
requirements of the planned unit development.

store. Motion was approved by the following vote: Aye - Smith, Christ, Stiles, Schlitz,

PUBLIC HEARING~KRETZ/PERFECTION OIL COMPANY (RECONSIDERATION) :
Application of John Kretz/Perfection Oil Company (reconsideration) to rezone property
located at 3136/3146 Central Avenue from R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential
District to C-2 Neighborhood Shopping Center District.
John Kretz stated that his intent is to expand an existing C-2 District to accommodate an
auto pads store. He stated that he has met with the neighbors and tried to address their
concerns. He said wants to invest in the neighborhood. He said that he currently has a
signed agreement with Advanced Auto Parts, and that they hope to be open in the fall of
2004. He stated that deed restrictions on the property require that no gas station,
convenience store, fast food restaurant or video store be located there. He said that
Advanced Auto Parts has asked for a 15-year lease, with three five-year options. He said
that the City will address storm water runoff from this site.

Dave Ehlinger, 3110 White Street, said that he is a long-time neighbor. He said that
further commercial encroachment into the residential neighborhood would be detrimental.
He stated he has concerns with access to the site and potential traffic generation.
Roger Gartner, 47 E. 32~ Street, discussed the U-shaped configuration of R-3 surrounding
the rezoning area. He stated that Advanced Auto Parts plans for 39 parking spaces, when
they are only required by the City standards to have 28. He stated that without the
additional parking spaces it would be possible for them to shift the building to the north
and utilize the two parcels already rezoned C-2. He stated that he is concerned that if
Advanced Auto Parts does not locate in this spot, or moves at a later date, that it may
leave a vacant building open to multiple commercial uses. He discussed the second
development proposal submitted by the applicant, and stated that they should utilize the
existing R-2 lots and not expand their request. He said that a building at this location
would be unsightly from the back yards of residents on White Street. He said that he does
not trust the property deed restrictions, which he said are subject to change if the property
owner desires. He said that the Zoning Advisory Commission should consider imposing
conditions on the rezoning.
Erv Auderer, 3101 Central Avenue, said that he is not opposed to the rezoning. He said
he has some concerns regarding storm water runoff. He said that he also would
recommend that no exit onto White Street be permitted.
Carol Schueller, 35 E. 32r~ Street, said that there is no parking permitted on her side of the
street. She stated that she is concerned with the traffic and the potential for an increase in
traffic and access difficulties if this property is developed.
Brian Kane discussed the surrounding zoning and land use. He stated that most
commercial entities need an acre lot as a minimum for useful development. He stated that
one-half of the property could already be used for C-2 purposes, and that the R-3 lots
could be developed as multi-family, which would generate similar traffic and activity to
commercial development at this location. He said that storm water would be managed as
per City requirements. He stated that Advanced Auto Parts would generate approximately
50 trips a day plus one delivery truck. He said that Advanced Auto Parts would provide
adequate off-street parking and that access would be off of 32nd Street and Central
Avenue, not White Street.
Staff Member Kritz discussed the C-2 district uses and the conditional rezoning and said
that water detention could take various forms, not just a detention basin.
Commissioner Roush said he had no problems with extending the C-2 zone, and that he
felt the City will handle parking and storm water detention issues.
Commissioner Christ said that she is concerned with the intensity of commercial
development and its encroachment into the residential neighborhood. She said some of
her concerns included traffic, lighting, noise and lifter.

Commissioner Smith said that he felt that it is not appropriate to allow commercial
development to continue to encroach into the residential neighborhood.
Commissioner Stiles said that he sees no problem with the proposed development of
Advanced Auto parts at this location.
Commissioner Schlitz said that this will be an improvement to the property and an asset to
the community and neighborhood.
Chairperson Bird said that the property has remained vacant and development here would
be good for the area.
Motion by Schlitz, seconded by Roush, to approve the rezoning request as submitted.
Motion was approved by the following vote: Aye - Stiles, Schiltz, Roush and Bird; Nay -
None.
PUBLIC HEARING\CALLAHAN (RECONSIDERATION): Application of Joel Callahan
(reconsideration) to rezone property located west of Seippel Road; north of the Dubuque
Industrial Center West from County R-2 Single-Family Residential Distdct to City CS
Commercial Service and Wholesale District and LI Light Industrial District, in conjunction
with annexation.
Joel Callahan, 12815 Nova Ridge, distributed a map of the area. The map showed zoning,
property lines, and the City industrial park property. He said that the light industrial
development will be adjacent to residential development. He discussed the extension of
Chavanelle Road to his property, which he said would ensure adequate access. He said
that he owns the property to the west of the subject lot in the County. He distributed a
copy of Asbury's land use map and discussed land use. He stated that there are five
single-family residences across Middle Road from his proposed rezoning. He said that he
spoke with Pete Henkels, who said he had no problem with the rezoning request. He
stated that Maurine Harris, to the south of his property, is currently asking the City for a
rezoning to light industrial. He discussed possible future improvements to Middle Road
and Seippel Road.
Maury Mellon, 6218 Middle Road, submitted a photo of his home. He stated that he does
not mind residential development across from him, and the current residential development
going up behind him, but he is opposed to any industrial development in the area.
Janet Rueckert, 6226 Middle Road, said that she opposes the rezoning because it is a
radical change from the existing land use. She said she is concerned with an increase of
truck traffic on substandard roadways.
Minutes - Zoning Advisory Commission
October 1, 2003
Page 6
Tom Gerhard, 15302 Middle Road, said that there is already too much industrial property
in the area for the road to handle. He stated that 80 additional acres of commercial
property is excessive.
Roger and Roseanne Dryer, 6210 Middle Road, said they have concerns with the impact
on the value of their property. She said they also are concerned with traffic. She said they
prefer to have residential development across from them. She said there appears to be a
lack of support for rebuilding Middle or Seippel Roads in the near future.
Mr. Callahan stated that the 40 acres he has subdivided required extra right-of-way to
ensure future widening of Seippel Road. He said he is willing to limit the uses permitted in
the CS District or to rezone to C-2. He said he is willing to negotiate the uses permitted on
the north half of the property.
Staff Member Kritz discussed future road improvements in the area. He said that there are
no plans for road improvements to those areas outside of the City limits because they have
not been annexed yet. He discussed possible truck weight restrictions on area roads. He
said that the City plans to extend Chavanelle Road to the east, which will connect to the
Northwest Arterial, and will afford another east/west connection to the city. He stated that
the bridge along Seippel Road would in all likelihood, be widened to facilitate traffic flow
along Seippel Road when the roadway itself is improved.
Commissioner Smith asked about required setbacks for commercial service and industrial
districts. Chairperson Bird entered a letter from Karen Gerhart into the record.
Commissioner Schlitz said that memos provided addressed concerns regarding the traffic
increase. He said that because of the additional information, he will support the rezoning
request.
Commissioner Stiles said that Middle Road provides a natural buffer between the
residential development to the north. He asked Mr. Callahan if he would be willing to limit
the uses on the commercial service district. He said road improvements will in all
likelihood follow development.
Commissioner Smith stated that because the property owner to the south is asking to
rezone, he is not nearly as concerned with the prospect of a residential property being
sandwiched between two industrial lots. He said that he feels that the residents on the
north side of Middle Road should be buffered from the commercial service uses, and that
the uses in this district should be restricted.
Commissioner Christ said that she originally had concerns with Maurine Harris's property.
She said that she feels it would be appropriate to limit the uses across Middle Road from
the residential development.
Minutes - Zoning Advisory Commission

Chairperson Bird said that is comfortable with the light industrial development and feels
that the commercial service functions as a transitional zone between the residential
properties. He said that he would support an increased buffer zone.
Commissioner Roush said that traffic issues will be addressed with future road
improvements. He said he also agrees with the increased building setback along Middle
Road.
Motion by Schlitz, seconded by Roush, to approve the rezoning request from County R-2
to City CS and LI, with the condition that the building setback requirements for the property
directly across from the residences on Middle Road be 40 feet. Motion was approved by
the following vote: Aye - Smith, Christ, Stiles, Schlitz, Roush and Bird; Nay - None.
PUBLIC HEARING\SIEGERTIDUBUQUE COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT: Application
of Joseph & Ruth SiegertJDubuque Community School District to rezone property located
on Radford Road near Saratoga Road from AG Agricultural Distdct to R-1 Single-Family
Residential District.
John Burkart, representing Dubuque Community School District, indicated that the
rezoning is to facilitate construction of a new middle school at this location. Mr. Burkart
reviewed the public planning process used to site the middle school. He stated that the
school would provide facilities for up to 1,100 students.
Catherine Colehouse, 1592 Saratoga Road, stated that she is concerned with storm water
runoffin this area. She said she is not necessarily opposed to a school, as long as storm
water is managed.
John Burkart said that the school district is only in the preliminary stages of site
development, but they are already studying storm water detention. He stated that they will
arrange meetings with adjacent property owners once the site development plans have
progressed.
Staff Member Hemenway reviewed the surrounding zoning and land use, existing
· topography and the current pathway of storm water runoff. He reviewed the surrounding
street system and existing traffic counts.
Commissioners reviewed the request and stated they feel the rezoning from Agricultural to
R-1 Single-Family to accommodate a middle school at this location is appropriate.
Motion by Christ, seconded by Stiles, to approve the request as submitted. Motion was
approved by the following vote. Aye - Stiles, Schiltz, Roush and Bird; Nay - None.
PUBLIC HEARING~CAFARO COMPANY: Application of The Cafaro Company for
approval of a text amendment for property located at 555 John F. Kennedy Road (Kennedy
Mall Shopping Center) to amend the Planned Unit Development with a PC Planned
Minutes - Zoning Advisory Commission
October 1, 2003
Page 8
Commercial Desig nation to require one parking space for every 250 square foot of GLA to
allow for an additional 82,000 square foot of new GLA and amend the sign regulations for
the Kennedy Mall.
David DeChristafaro, representing The Cafaro Company, said that Kennedy Mall would
like to expand to be able to attract new tenants. He said they currently have five parking
spaces per 1,000 square feet when standard C-3 zoning district standards require four
parking spaces per 1,000 square feet. He stated that, if granted, the reduction to four per
1,000 square feet would enable Kennedy Mall to add 82,000 square feet of gross leasable
area to the mall site. He said that the additional gross leasable area could be added on-
site, either contiguous to the mall or in an out lot, contingent on City approval. He showed
various development scenarios for the mall. He said Kennedy Mall would also like to add
a new 650 square foot pylon sign to attract traffic along Highway 20 traffic. He said these
three elements will help revitalize the mall.
Staff Member Kritz said that the applicants are asking to amend the Planned Commercial
District in three key respects - (1) to amend the parking ratio, (2) allow future expansion on
the Mall property and (3) amend bulk standards for signage. He discussed typical parking
standards, stating that there appears to be sufficient parking area, and that four per 1,000
square feet of gross leasable area is fairly typical. He said that the applicants are asking
for an 82,000 square foot expansion somewhere upon the premises. He said that they
have indicated various locations to site the proposed expansion area. He said that other
planned developments have been allowed the option to locate gross leasable area
throughout the site. He said that this increased area will have very little impact on current
traffic volume for the surrounding streets.
Commissioners discussed the request and felt that it was appropriate for this kind of
commercial expansion at this location.
Motion by Christ, seconded by Roush, to approve the amended PUD as submitted. Motion
was approved by the following vote: Aye - Stiles, Schlitz, Roush and Bird; Nay - None.
PUBLIC HEARING~GRANDVIEW AVENUE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH/AMBROSE &
LAVERNE KLEINISHANE KLAASlROBERT & NAOKO CRIPPES: Application of
Grandview Avenue United Methodist Church/Ambrose & Laverne Klein/Shane
Klaas/Robert & Naoko Crippes to rezone property located at 419 & 485 N.
Grandview/1755 Bennett Street/1730 Grace Street from R-1 Single-Family Residential
District to C-2 Neighborhood Shopping Center District.
Dick Hartig stated that his request is about change and neighborhoods. He reviewed the
surrounding land uses and the history of changes in the area. He reviewed the changes
proposed relative to the request that was submitted to the Zoning Advisory Commission in
July. He said that the 1.2-acre site will house a single pharmacy buffered on all sides by
public rights-of way. He said that to leave the church property underutilized is not a plan,
Minutes - Zoning Advisory Commission
October 1, 2003
Page 9
but that the re-use of the site as a pharmacy represents a carefully planned land use. Mr.
Hartig reviewed the layout of the proposed development.
Ken Johnson, Straka Johnson Architects, reviewed the goals outlined in the City's
Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Johnson reviewed the C-2 District regulations. He also
reviewed the proposed facilities and services to be offered by the pharmacy, access points
to the site, delivery area and proposed screening. Mr. Hartig reviewed the proposed
relocation of the alley connecting Bennett and Grace Streets. Mr. Hartig reviewed the
traffic counts and projected traffic volumes, store hours and lighting.
Dave Stewart, 1470 Locust Street, stated that he is a member of the Old House
Enthusiasts. He reviewed the history of the GrandviewAvenue United Methodist Church.
Mr. Stewart noted that there is not a competitive market for churches and he said the
congregation may have unrealistic expectations as to the value of the property. Mr.
Stewart stated that there is potential re-uses for the existing property. He stated he did not
undemtand how the neighborhood would benefit from a pharmacy when it already has one.
Stacy and Cory Thein, 1764 Bennett Street, reviewed the existing level of traffic
congestion in the Bennett Street/Grandview Avenue area. They stated their concerns
regarding lighting and noise. They said they felt there are other uses possible for this site
under existing zoning regulations. They said they were concerned that the C-2 District
allows for a wide array of commercial uses.
Bob Crippes, 1730 Grace Street, stated that he is in support of the request.
Chris Johnson, 1774 Bennett Street, said that he feels the applicant is asking the
neighbors to shoulder the responsibility for the flawed planning by the church regarding
their relocation and development of the new facility.

rezoning and demolition of the church. They stated that most of the neighbors in this area
are opposed to the request.
Cathy Runde, 1776 Grace Street, spoke in opposition to the request, stating that she is
opposed to the demolition of the church.
Catherine Dean, 1765 Bennett Street, spoke in support of the request, noting that heavy
traffic is a fact of life in this neighborhood, and that most of the families in the
neighborhood own more than one vehicle. She said she feels the proposed pharmacy
would help redevelop the church property and add to the value of the neighborhood.
Linda LaSoya stated that she is a real estate professional. She spoke in opposition to the
request because of the proposed demolition of the church and three homes. She said the
homes, if placed on the market, would be considered affordable and she said that the City
Minutes - Zoning Advisory Commission
October 1, 2003
Page 10
is sorely in need of additional affordable housing. She also spoke in opposition to the
demolition of the church structure.
Del Miller, representing Grandview Avenue United Methodist Church, stated that it was not
an easy decision for church members to relocate their church. He stated that the church
contacted all community congregations in an effort to market the church building. He said
that their efforts were not successful. He noted that in the past there was a drug store
across Grandview Avenue from the church. He indicated that Mr. Hartig has tried to
address the concerns of the neighboring property owners. He said that the church has
received no other valid offers for the property.
Kathy Cordell, representing the Montessori School, stated that the school has made valid
offers for the church property and will continue to try to raise the necessary funds to
purchase said property.
Joan BelCastro, 285 N. Grandview, stated that she represents the North Grandview
Avenue Extended Neighborhood Association. She said the association is opposed to the
rezoning request. She said that additional commercial development will adversely impact
the neighborhood. She said such development will increase traffic. She said the
association is also opposed to the demolition of the church building as well as the three
residential structures adjacent to the church property. She stated that there are other
pharmacies within reasonable distance of the church property.
Sharon Johnson, 1774 Bennett Street, presented a petition with 370 signatures opposed to

and drainage problems that may be created by the development of this property.
Julie and Pat Schwendinger, 1845 Bennett Street, stated that commercial development at
this location will exacerbate existing storm water runoff problems.
Steve Blong, 1784 Bennett Street, stated he has concerns with the safety of children in the
neighborhood because of the increase in traffic. He stated he also has concerns with
storm water runoff.
Mack Klingler stated he is a member of the Grandview Avenue United Methodist Church.

Paula Behr, American Realty, said that appraisals of single properties are often just one
persons' opinion. She said that renovation of the current church building may require that
the structure be brought up to current City building codes, which could prove to be
expensive. Mrs. Behr stated Hartig Drug Stores have always been good neighbors, and
that she feels the pharmacy would benefit the entire neighborhood.
Tammy Pfab, 235 N. Grandview, stated that she feels the people who live the
neighborhood are the best to decide whether or not the pharmacy is an appropriate use.
She said that she feels there are other options for this building that may be more
appropriate.
Jane Ward, 18345 Meadow View Drive, Durango, stated that she is a member of the
Grandview United Methodist Church. She stated that there are existing commercial uses
in the area, including a pharmacy. She said that a pharmacy at this location would be in
keeping with the health care businesses in the neighborhood.
Mr. Hartig stated that semi-trucks are not the normal delivery vehicles that service his
pharmacies. He stated that he plans to manage storm water by reconstructing the alley
and piping the water to two catch basins. He said lighting will utilize cutoff luminaries and
be timed so as to shut off when the store closes.
Commissioners discussed the request. Commissioner Stiles stated that he believes Mr.
Hartig has tried to accommodate the neighbors concerns. He said he has some minor
concerns regarding the drive-thru, but that the Zoning Board of Adjustment would review
this.
Commissioner Schlitz noted that the church was established in 1920, 14 years before the
City adopted its first zoning ordinance. He stated that the petition submitted by those in
opposition contains a number of names of people who live outside of the neighborhood.
Commissioner Smith stated that he could not support the request, because it will enable
commercial development to encroach on an existing residential neighborhood. He said
that although Mr. Hartig is a very responsible business owner, he feels that this use does
not fit at this location.
Commissioner Christ stated that the proposed commercial zoning request is not compelling
enough to support the rezoning, especially when balancing its impact to the residential
neighborhood.
Commissioner Roush stated that several of the issues discussed are not within the
Commission's purview. He said lighting would be addressed through the site plan review
and, that based on the information submitted, he supports the request.
Chairperson Bird stated that the question before the body is the appropriateness of C-2
zoning not whether the pharmacy is appropriate or whether the church should be

demolished. He said that he supports the request. He submitted letters from Stephen
Hardie and Edward G for the record.
Motion by Stiles, seconded by Schlitz, to approve the rezoning request as submitted.
Motion was approved by the following vote: Aye - Stiles, Schlitz, Roush and Bird; Nay -
