City Hall — 50 W. 13t" Street
Dubuque IA 52001
Applicant: John Pechous
Location: 410 and 414 Raymond Place
Description: To approve the Plat of Survey of Pechous 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.
Discussion
The applicant, John Pechous, 410 Raymond Street, spoke in favor of the request
stating that the existing driveway between 410 and 414 Raymond Street properties is
located on the 414 property but has historically been utilized by the 410 property. He
pointed out that there is an existing wood archway over the driveway that has been
there for many years and that the 410 property has always used the driveway, and it
has never been used by the 414 property. He said they found out that they need the
parking space to stay with the 410 property in order to sell the property. He noted that
he had a survey and that nothing should change for the neighborhood as it has always
operated this way.
Staff detailed the staff report noting that the property owner is seeking to adjust the
property line between the two lots, which have historically been under common
ownership. Staff stated that primary goal would be to allocate the driveway to the 410
property which has historically utilized it and added that the plat would also ensure that
an existing AC unit and retaining wall are located entirely on the 410 property. Staff
stated that the proposed Lot 1 would have 37 feet of street frontage and would not meet
the minimum 50 feet required by code, and therefore, a waiver of the minimum street
frontage requirement is being requested for Lot 1. Staff further stated that a Parking
Variance would also be required for the 410 Raymond Place property and recordation of
the plat should be contingent upon the applicant receiving an approval for the Parking
Variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, finding it appropriate.

SUBJECT: Plat of Survey of Pechous Place
(410 and 414 Raymond Place, PIN 1025213013 and 1025213012)
INTRODUCTION
The proposed subdivision plat consists of two parcels that are under common ownership
and together total approximately .60 acres (26,400 sq. ft.). The property at 410 Raymond
Place (PIN 1025213013) is improved with a two-story single-family residence with
detached garage. The property at 414 Raymond Place (PIN 1025213012) is improved
with a one-story single-family residence. The property owner proposes to reconfigure the
property boundary between the two lots. Pursuant to the Unified Development Code
(UDC), the proposed subdivision is classified as a Simple Subdivision'. The proposed
plat of survey would create two lots, one of which would not have the minimum 50' of
frontage along a public or private street, and therefore the Simple Subdivision requires
review by the Zoning Advisory Commission in order to waiver the street frontage
requirement.
DISCUSSION
The subject properties are under common ownership and the property owner has active
listings to sell the two properties. Currently, there is an existing parking space located
between the two properties that has historically been utilized by 410 Raymond Place
property but is located on the 414 Raymond Place. The parking space has been designed
to function as part of the 410 Raymond Place property. This is evident by the archway
located over the parking space entry which connects to the existing fence on 410
Raymond Place, and the narrow landscape planter installed to separate the parking
space and the property at 414 Raymond Place. Consequently, the property owner desires
to legally allocate the existing parking space to the property for which it has historically
been utilized and was designed to be a part of. Additionally, the proposed plat would
ensure that an existing retaining wall and the heating and cooling equipment for the 410
Raymond Place are located entirely on the property they serve.
As proposed, the Plat of Survey of Pechous Place would reconfigure two existing parcels
into two new parcels. The following is a description of each proposed parcel:
UDC Chapter 16-11-6 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 — Plat of Survey of Pechous Place
■ Lot 1 (0.234 acres) would have approximately 37 ft. of frontage along Raymond
Place right-of-way. The lot contains an existing one-story single-family residence.
■ Lot 2 (0.372) would have approximately 106 ft. of frontage along Raymond Place
right-of-way and contains an existing two-story single-family residence with
detached garage.

Proposed configuration of 414 (Lot 1) and 410 (Lot 2) of Raymond Place.
Pursuant to the Unified Development Code (UDC) Chapter 11-14, all lots shall have
frontage along a public street or an approved private street. Pursuant to UDC Chapter 5-
5.7, a minimum of 50 ft. of street frontage is required for both lots. Because the proposed
Lot 1 (414 Raymond Place) will only have approximately 37 ft. of frontage, the applicant
is requesting a waiver of this bulk regulation. The proposed lots are otherwise in
substantial conformance with the UDC.
The UDC categorizes the proposed plat as a Simple Subdivision. Pursuant to UDC
Chapter 11-7.3, the Zoning Advisory Commission and City Council are the reviewing
authorities for a Simple Subdivision that requires 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 shall consider the waiver of the
minimum street frontage requirement for Lot 1.
In addition to this Simple Subdivision review, the 414 Raymond Place property will also
require approval of a Parking Variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Therefore,
should the Zoning Advisory Commission elect to approve the proposed Plat of Survey of
Pechous Place, staff recommends the recordation of the plat be contingent upon the
approval of a Parking Variance for the property at 414 Raymond Place.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff requests that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the Plat of Survey
of Pechous Place and recommends approval subject to waiving the street frontage
requirement for Lot 1 and contingent on an approved parking variance for 414 Raymond
Place.
