Sincerely, Wayne Stewart ANNEXATION STAFF REPORT Council Agenda: June 18, 2001 Property Location: Property Owner: Legal Description: Southwest corner of Old Highway Road and Seippel Road Wayne Stewart Lot 2, except the west 20 acres thereof, of Mason Cate Estates, Section 36, T89N, R2E of the 5~h P.M. in Dubuque County. Proposed Land Use: Existing Land Use: Adjacent Land Use: Industrial Agricultural Existing Zoning: County R-1 North: Residential Adjacent Zoning: North: County R-1 East: Agricultural, Residential East: City AG South: Agricultural South: County R-1 West: Railroad, Industrial West: County M-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. Prepared by: ~/~ Reviewed: ~'~~ CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA MEMORANDUM June 27, 2001 TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager Jeanne F. Schneider, City Clerk FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager 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. Icarsten/council/stewartanx2.mem, doc VI 'enbnqnQ eo!aO s,w.~,si9 O~:G b~¥ 8~n? I0 Prepared by: Laura Cerstens.
