the Board of Adjustment for their expan-
sion as a Conditional Use.
At the public hearing, proponents of
the application presented testimony re-
garding the public need and support for
the existing and expanded YMCA-YWCA
facilities. Neighboring property owners
presented testimony and the attached pe-
titions bearing 79 signatures opposing
the reclassification. In addition, the Com.
mission received one letter in support of
and some eighteen letters in opposition to
the application. Those opposed to the re-
zoning pointed to the impact of the pro-
posed change on property values and a
concern for increased traffic, noise and
other problems related to the operation of
the YMCA-YWCA. There was particular
concern expressed regarding the poten-
tial uses of the property under the 0R-1
District and the possibility of other re-
quests for rezoning in the area.
In an effort to address some of the
neighbors' objections, the applicant re-
quested by the attached letter dated Sep-
tember 19, 1978, that the property on the
northernmost side of the YMCA-YWCA
property be excluded from the rezoning
request. That amendment to the applica-
tion would allow the property nearest
Parkway Street to be used only for &-2
District uses as is presently the case.
After considering the evidence and tes-
timony presented, the Commission has
concluded that a reclassification of the
subject properties to allow the expansion
of the YMCA-YWCA facilities would be
in the public interest. The Commission
finds that there is a public, need for an ex-
panded YMCA-YWCA facility as evi-
denced by the range and type of activities
offered and the broad community support
of its fund raising effort. In addition, the
Commission finds that such a rezoning
would not be contrary to the established
pattern of land use as the YMCA-YWCA
facility presently occupies a major por-
tion of the properties to be reclassified.
Finally, a zoning change would permit the
YMCA-YWCA to expand its off-street
parking facilities and thus ,reduce the
street parking which has been a problem
in the neighborhood.
Accordingly, the Planning and Zoning
Commission has voted to recommend
that the properties included in the appli-
cation of the YMCA-YWCA as amended
and as legally described in the attached
ordinance be reclassified from the R-2
Residential District tothe OR-l"a" Office-
Residential District. The Commission has
determined that the OR-1"a" District
which provides for a more restrictive
building height and more restrictive lot
coverage than permitted in the OR-1 Dis-
trict would be more compatible with the
surrounding uses. Also, the exclusion

RE: YMCA-YWCA Building Corpora-
tion of Dubuque, Rezoning Request,
Dodge Street and Booth Street
The City Planning and Zoning Com-
mission has held a public hearing on the
application of the YMCA-YWCA Build-
ing Corporation of Dubuque. Iowa, for re-
classification of certain properties as le-
gally described in the attached ordinance
and located west of Booth Street and
north of Dodge Street. The application is
to reclassify the properties from an R-2
Residential District to the OR-I Office-
Residential District as shown on the at-
tached map.
The YMCA-YWCA requested the pro-
posed rezoning so as to allow an expan-
sion of their existing facilities at 35 North
Booth Street. The YMCA-YWCA which
is categorized as a private club is present-
ly a non-conforming use in the R-2 Resi-
dential District and as such is not permit-
ted to expand. The proposed rezoning
would permit them to request approval of

HE: Beecher Co.. Inc.. Rezomng- He
quest, 2369 White Street
On September 20, 1978, the City Plan-
ning and Zoning- Commission held a public
hearing on t.he application of Beecher Co.,
Ine. for redassification of property 10
cated at 2369 Whitt' Street. The applica-
tion is t.o reclassify the property from an
R-4 Residential District to the (;-2 Local
Service Commercial District as shown on
the attaehed map.
This application was originally review-
ed by the Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion at their meeting of July 17, 1978. At
that timethe Commission voted to deny
the request on the basis that such a
change would be contrary to the zoning
strategy for the area established with thc
197GOrdinance. That strateg-y is aimt'd at
containing commercial developmf'nt to
major art-erial streets and limiting fur
ther encroachment into residential
neig-hborhoodfJ.
A t your request, the Commission call-
ed a public hearing to reeonsider its re-
commendation to of'ny the application.
As sug-gested in the attached letter from
t.he City Clerk, the Commission weighed
the position in which the applicant was
plaeed by passag-e of the "Bot.tle Bill."
That legislation, which becomes effectivf'

In reviewing-this matter, the Planning

the area remains sound and that strict
adherence to it would require the denial
of the application. However, the Commis-
sion also determined that it is appropriate

Honorable Mayor and City Council
RE: Eleanor Rafoth and Thomas Luk-
setich
Rezoning Request
Century Drive Area
On September 20, 1978, the City Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission held a public
hearing on the application of Eleanor Ra-
forth and Thomas Luksetich for reclass-
ification of certain properties to the west
of Century Drive. The application is to
reclassify the properties from an AG-
Agricultural District to the C-3 Arterial
Business Commercial District and the L-I
Light Industrial District as shown on the
attached map.
The properties in question were volun-
tarily annexed to the City last October.
They consist of two parcels: one v:acant,
the other partially occupied by a mini-
warehouse facility.
In reviewing the request, the Commis-
sion has determined that a C-3 District
classifiction would be most appropriate
for all the property and would be more
compatible with present and planned land
use in the vicinity. By placing all of the
property in the C-3 District, the City
would have greater control over the
range of uses and intensity of develop-
ment permitted on the property than
would be possible under the L-I District.
In addition, the C-3 District provides for a
logical transition area between the ex-
isting industrial uses to the south and the
residential zoning to the north.
It was noted by the Commission that
the applicants acknowledged that while
they would prefer the reclassification as
requested that they would be able to
work with a C-3 District classification on
the entire tract.
Accordingly, the Planning and Zoning
Commission has voted to recommend
that the subject properties be reclassified
from the present AG-Agricultural Dis-
trict to the C.3 Arterial Business Com-
mercial District.

the property. We asked $1,384 plus re-

approxImately 10 cents per sq. ft. and I

October 10, 1978
Honorable Mayor and
City Council Members
For the past four years, the City of Du-
buque has filled vacancies in the job clas-
sification of Ambulance Driver/Atten-
dant by a promotional examination given
to members of the Fire Department. It
has been the intent of the Department to
give a promotional examination in order
to broaden the career objectives of per-
sonnel in the Fire Department.
Recently a number of personnel in the
ambulance service requestd to be trans-
ferred out of the ambulance service into
the Fire Companies. In order to honor the
request for their transfers and in order to
provide a list of eligible candidates to fill
the Ambulance Driver/Attendant vacan-
cies, a promotional civil service examina-
tion is given. At that time, only one per-
son within the Fire Department express-
ed interest in becoming an Ambulance
Driver/Attendant.
Because it appears that there is a lack
of interest within the Fire Department to
pursue a career as Ambulance Driver/At-
tendant, I am asking that in the future we
give a civil service entrance examination
for the position of Ambulance Driver/At-
tendant rather than the traditional pro-
motional examination. The joJ> require-
ments would be exactly the same as those
of our current ambulance personnel in or-
der that we may maintain the same effec-
tive and efficient service that the City
now provides.
Therefore, to provide that we have an
active list of qualified candidates for the
job classification of Ambulance Driver/
Attendant, I would request the Council to
adopt the attached Ordinance establish-
ing that the civil service examination for
the classification of Ambulance Driver/
Attendant be an original entrance exami-
nation rather than a promotional exami-
nation.

Iowa on Matters of. Roadway Planning
and Land Development In the John F.
Kennedy Road Corridor.
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 360-78 has
modified plans for the improvement of
John F. Kennedy Road; and.
WHEREAS, such modification is made
in the interest of securing a roadway
capable of accomodating the expansion of
commercial development in the John F.
Kennedy Road corridor;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLV-
ED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF DUBUQUE, lOW A:
Section 1. That it is the policy of the
City Council that the installation of a
center barrier median on John F. Ken-
nedy Road will be considered only at
such time as average annual daily traf-
fic volume has reached twenty-four
thousand (24.000 AADT) vehicles per
day.
Section 2. That it is the policy of the
City Council that the additional right-
of-way requirement and roadway
width established by foregoing Reso-
lution No. 360-78 is made in acknow-
ledgement of land development antici-
pated in the John F. Kennedy Road
corridor, and of the local objectives to
be served in such development; fur-
ther, it is determined that zoningregu-
lations and other land development
controls now in force in that area are
reasonably consistent with planned
roadway improvements, and consider-
ation of additional restrictions on de-
velopment intensity is judged to be un-
warranted at this time.

Honorable Mayor and
City Council Members
As a result of changes in anticipated de.
velopments along the John F. Kennedy
Corridor, amendments for improvements
of John F. Kennedy seem expedient.
Presently, as stipulated in the Resolu-
tion 95-78 adopted March 20, 1978, John
F. Kennedy was to be widened to a 60 foot
roadway on an 30 foot right-of-way. After
further discussions with involved busi-
nessmen and property owners in light of
now anticipated development along JFK,
it seems fitting to construct the facility to
a 68 foot roadway on an 88 foot right-of-
way.
Attached is a resolution amending Sec-
tion 1 of Resolution 95-78 which changes
the width of the street to 68 feet on an 88
foot right-of-way. We would respectfully
request your adoption of this resolution.

Honorable Mayor and
City Council
On October 12. 1978. tbe Cable TV
Commission of the City of Dubuque, Iowa
transmitted a written communication to
the Honorable Mayor and City Council
and the City Manager relating to the view
of said commission pertaining to the in-
tent of the Teleprompter firm to drop the
classification of a lifetime rate and to con-
vert all cable subscribers to the regular
rate effective December 1, 1978.
I have been in communication with the
City Manager in connection with this
matter, and it is my understanding that in
his opinion such a change constitutes a
rate change and must be done with coun-
cil approval.
I refer you to the letter of October 12,
1978 of the Cable TV Commission which
appears to be quite extensive and exhaus-
tive and essentially quite to the point.
In reviewing Ordinance No. 25-63 and
Ordinance No. 8-75, it manifestly appears
that in effect a lifetime rate is being eli-
minated; and that such being the fact, the
consequential change results in a rate
change and council approval must be se-
cured.
Accordingly, it is the position of the Ci-
ty Attorney's Office that the determina-
tion of the City Manager that such a move
by Teleprompter is in effect a rate in-
crease and such rate increase must com-
ply with the provisions of Section 8 of Or-
dinance No. 25-63 which provides as fol-
lows:
"The Company shall have the right to
prescribe the reasonable service rules
and regulations for the conduct of its busi-
ness, not inconsistent with the provisions
of this Ordinance. Such rules shall be filed
with the City Clerk and shall be effective
as of the date of such filing, and be subject
to approval by the City Council within six
months after such filing."
is hereby confirmed.
Section 1 of Ordinance No. 8-75, among
other things, states as follows:
".. .The Company agrees it shall be sub-
ject to all authority now or hereafter pos-
sessed by the City Council or any other
body having competent jurisdiction to fix
reasonable and compensatory television
signal distribution rates. . . ."

Communication of Teleprompter Cable
TV requesting discussion set for this
Rel!:ular Session, November 6, 1978
November 1, 1978
Honorable Mayor and
City Council
On October 4,1978, Mr. Thomas Millit-
zer, Telepromper of Dubuque General
Manager and Mr. Terry Meyering, Dis-
trict Manager, came to my office and re-
viewed the October 3rd letter indicating a
change in the rate structure by eliminat-
ing the charter lifetime rate of $5.75 per
month. In my discussion with Mr. Millit-
zer and Mr. Meyering I indicated that
Section 9 of the franchise, which reads as
follows, would be controlling in the mat-
ter.
"The Company agrees that it shall be
subject to all authority now or hereafter
possessed by the City Council or any
other body having competent jurisdiction
to fix reasonable and compensatory tele-
vision signal distribution rates."
I also cited the most recent rate ordi-
nance amendment no. 8-75, which specifi-
cally lists the lifetime rate as $5.75.
Based on the franchise and the ordi-
nance I believe that the proposal to
change the lifetime rate is a matter which
must be considered by the City Council
and be made subject to an amending rate
ordinance.
I am enclosing a copy of the letter of Oc-
tober 3rd from the Teleprompter Cable
TV Company and ask that this proposal
be brought before you for your considera-
tion.
