RE: Preliminary Plat

Description:
Wayne and Lynn Stewart
Southwest Corner of Old Highway Road and Seippel Road
Preliminary Plat of Pinto Ridge Subdivision in Dubuque County.
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 spoke in favor of the request, stating that he is also requesting annexation
to the city of Dubuque to allow the proposed subdivision to tie into City water and sewer.
Mr. Stewart indicated that the five-lot subdivision will, in part, be marketed to people
who wish to keep a horse on their residential property.
Staff reviewed the request, indicating that City water is available to the property, but the
sanitary sewer is approximately one mile away. The Engineering Division has indicated
that homeowners would have 15 years to hook up to sanitary sewer service once they
have installed an approved septic system.
The Zoning Advisory Commission noted that the proposed subdivision will have a new
public street and will have a capped sanitary sewer system with necessary easements
provided within the subdivision.
Recommendation
By a vote of 6 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council
approve the request, allowing for installation of private septic systems and a capped
sanitary sewer system with the necessary easements for future connection to City
sewer.

SUBDIVISION STAFF REPORT

Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: The subject property was not included in
the City's 1995 Comprehensive Plan; however, the area was included in the City's 1997
Annexation Study. The 1997 Annexation Study designates the subject property as
Area 4 and established it as Priority 1: Immediate Opportunity.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: City water is available to the site. City sanitary sewer is approximately
one mile away from the subject property. Each lot will have a septic system.
Individual property owners will be required to hook-up to sanitary sewer when it's
available.
Traffic Patterns: The proposed subdivision has frontage on Old Highway Road
and Seippel Road with the proposed Pinto Ridge Court street having access to
Old Highway Road. There are no traffic counts available for the surrounding
roadways~
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts to the environment
providing adequate erosion control is provided during all phases of development of
the subdivision.
Adjacent Properties: Staff does not anticipate any significant impacts to adjacent
properties as the proposed development will only create five additional single-
family building lots.
Recommended Conditions on Plat: None.
Staff Analysis: The submitted preliminary plat of Pinto Ridge Subdivision is currently
located in Dubuque County near the southwest comer of Old Highway Road and
Seippel Road. The city corporate limits currently are along the east side of the subject
parcel, which includes Seippel Road. Wayne and Lynn Stewart are requesting
annexation of this properbj to the City of Dubuque subject to rezoning the property to
R-1 Single-Family Residential District. The proposed subdivision will subdivide an
existing 25-acre parcel into five lots, a minimum of 3.9 acres in size, for development of
single-family homes.
The City sanitary sewer main is approximately one mile away from the property;
however, the applicant has agreed to provide the necessary easements to
accommodate extension of the sanitary sewer system to serve the property in the
future. In addition, a capped sewer system will be installed as part of initial utility work
to facilitate hooking up the subdivision to city sanitary sewer service in the future.
SUBDIVISION STAFF REPORT

The Engineering Division has indicated that once the homeowners have approved
septic systems they will have 15 years to tie into the city sanitary sewer system.
City water service is available to the property. An existing 12' water main is located
within the right-of-way of Seippel Road and will be extended along Old Highway Road
and within the subdivision.
The applicants wish to market these lots, in part, for people who own horses and wish
to stable them on the same property as their single-family homes. Currently in the City
of Dubuque, the stabling of horses is not allowed in single-family residential districts.
Planning staff has prepared a text amendment to address this issue.
The City's Annexation Study completed in 1997 and was designated as Area 4, which
was assigned a Priority 1: Immediate Opportunity designation. Staff believes that this
property does have the potential to be annexed to the City in the near term, and
believes it should be developed to City standards to the extent possible. The City
Council has the ultimate authority of whether to allow the site to be served with City
water.
Staff recommends the Zoning Advisory Commission approve the submitted preliminary
plat of Pinto Ridge Subdivision.
