Voluntary Annexation Request of Wayne Stewart
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to transmit a voluntary annexation request for 25 acres of land owned
by Wayne Stewart at the southwest corner of Old Highway Road and Seippel Road, for review and
approval by the City Council after a public hearing. A resolution, exhibit and staff report are
attached.
DISCUSSION
Mr. Stewart has requested rezoning from County R-1 Rural Residential to City R-1 Single Family
Residential. The Zoning Advisory Commission recommended approval of the rezoning on June 6,
2001. The City Council will consider the rezoning on June 18, 2001. If approved, the rezoning
would be contingent on annexation.
The property has been in agricultural use for years. Mr. Stewart has proposed development of the
property as a five-lot subdivision celled Pinto Ridge, which he plans to market to people who wish
to have horses on their properties. The City Council will consider a text amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance to allow the keeping of horses in R-1 zones on June 18, 2001. The Zoning Advisory
Commission recommended approval of the text amendment on June 6, 2001.
The property is adjacent to City water, which runs along Seippel Road. Connection to City sanitary
sewer, however, is not economicelly feasible at this time, beceuse the sewer is about one mile from
the property. The City Council will consider the preliminary plat for Pinto Ridge Subdivision on June
18, 2001 beceuse the subdivision will include private septic systems and a capped sanitary sewer
system for future connection to City sewer.
The property is included in Area 4 of the City's Annexation Study, and was rated as a Priority 1, an
area of immediate opportunity due to proximity to City infrastructure.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council set this voluntary annexation request for a public headng on July
2, 2001. I further recommend that the City Council approve the annexation request, to provide the
City with the ability to control growth and regulate development through subdivision and building
plan approvals.

East: Agricultural, Residential East: City AG
South: Agricultural South: County R-1

Flood Plain: N/A
Water: Available
Storm Sewer: N/A
Total Area: 25 Acres
Existing Street Access: Old Highway Road
and Cottlngham Road
Sanitary Sewer: Within 1 mile
Purpose: Wayne Stewart has requested rezoning to R-1 Single-Family Residential
District concurrent with annexation to develop this agricultural acreage for single-family
homes.
Physical Characteristics: The property has been in agricultural use for decades. The
property is vacant farm land with frontage on both Old Highway Road and Seippel
Road. The topography is gently rolling and drains to the southwest.
Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: The Land Use and Urban Design,
Infrastructure and Economic Development Elements of the Comprehensive Plan
include goals and objectives related to the need to annex and provide utilities to future
growth areas for residential development. The 1995 Comprehensive Plan's Future
Land Use Map did not identify the subject property as a potential growth area; however,
the subject property was included in Area 4 of the 1997-1998 Annexation Study.
Annexation Staff Report Page 2
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: The property can be adequately served from a 12" water main along the new
alignment for Seippel Road. An 8" sanitary sewer interceptor is approximately one mile
away at this time. The applicant has agreed to provide a capped sanitary sewer
system within his proposed subdivision. When the sanitary sewer is extended by the
City to a point that can serve the subdivision, homeowners will be required to hook-up.
Homeowners will be given 15 years from the date that their septic system is approved
to hook-up to the sanitary sewer system.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The proposed property has frontage on both Old Highway
Road and Seippel Road. Average daily traffic counts from 1997 are 2,270 for Old
Highway Road and approximately 1,500 for Seippel Road at its intersection with Old
Highway Road.
Public Services: Response time for City Police, Fire and Emergency Services will be
the same as or less than response times of County and volunteer services. The City
has identified that an additional or relocated fire station may be needed in the future as
the community develops to the west. The City also has identified that annexation will
require an additional snow removal route.
Environment: Storm water management will be required as part of the review and
approval of any site development.
Adjacent Properties: Development of the subject parcel for single-family homes will
have little impact on adjacent property. The land to the west is zoned County M-l,
which is industrial. Single family homes have been built along Old Highway Road north
of the property.
CIP Investments: The City has completed extension of a 12" water main along Seippel
Road. The City also has extended an 8" sanitary sewer interceptor to a point that is
approximately one mile southeast of the subject property, where the City plans to
construct an industrial park.
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Wayne Stewart is requesting the annexation
of a 25 acre parcel with rezoning from County R-1 Rural Residential District to City R-1
Single-Family Residential District. The subject property is on the southwest corner of
Old Highway Road and Seippel Road.
The 25 acres of land was included in the City's Annexation Study as part of Area 4.
Area 4 is comprised of a total of 530 acres. The Annexation Study anticipated
approximately 424 acres for industrial development while the balance, 106 acres, was
proposed for park and open space.
Annexation Staff Report Page 3
The Annexation Study looked at 14 growth areas and ranked them in terms of priority.
Area 4 was one of the areas designated as Pdority 1, an area of immediate opportunity.
Pfiodty 1 areas represent areas recently pumhased by the City for the development of
industrial sites and areas critical to the preservation of entrance ways and
transportation corridors. Additionally, they represent areas under active development
that will allow greater control over land use and building standards to help ensure more
orderly development patterns.
Access to the site will be off Old Highway Road. A new 31-foot wide public street will
be constructed to serve five residential lots. The lots will be at least 3.92 acres in size
and be served with City water. The future homes would be required to hook-up to the
sanitary sewer system when it is made available.
The surrounding property is used for a mixture of residential, industrial and agricultural
land uses. There is existing residential development to the north and south and the
applicant owns the adjacent industrial property to the west. This parcel is zoned M-1
Industrial and would remain in the County. The Dubuque County Board of Supervisors
rezoned this property to M-1 with conditions on its development that limit the allowed
uses to warehousing. The applicant also has created a substantial grade change
between the proposed residential subdivision to be annexed to the City and the
property zoned M-I. This will serve as a buffer between the two land uses.
Staff recommends approval of the annexation request. The proposal is consistent with
the City's Annexation Study, which rated this property as Priority8 1, an area of
immediate opportunity due to proximity to City infrastructure. Annexation of this
property provides the City with the ability to control growth and regulate development
through subdivision, site plan and building plan approvals.

SUBJECT: Voluntary Annexation Request of Wayne Stewart
The City Council will hold a public hearing on July 2, 2001 for a voluntary annexation
request by Wayne Stewart for 25 acres at the southwest comer of Old Highway Road and
Seippel Road.
The purpose of this memo is to request that the City Council withhold final action on the
annexation request until the July 16, 2001 meeting, so that notices can be mailed as
required by State law.
I have discovered that with Asbury's recent annexation of property at Middle Road and
Seippel Road, Mr. Stewart's property is within two miles of Asbury.
The Iowa Code requires that when the City Council considers a voluntary annexation
request within two miles of another city, then notice of the City Council's final action must
be mailed at least ten days pdor to that city, County offices, affected utilities and the
regional planning agency,
I recommend that the City Council consider this voluntary annexation request at the public
hearing on July 2, and then take final action on July 16. This extra meeting will give staff
time to mail the required notices.
