To The Honorable Mayor
and City Council
I am returning to you the peti.
tion of Mr. Alfred Hughes on be.
half of Ridge Motor and Machine
Company concerning the blocking
of 12th Street by trucks servicing
tbe A.Y. McDonald Manufacturing
Company.
I wrote to the McDonald Com-
pany about the problem. Subse-
quently, the location was inspected
by the police department at dif-
ferent times during one week. On
November 12th, John Wlùte, Cap.
tain Jenaman and myself met with
Mr. Joseph Schmitt and Mr. John
McDonald. We reviewed the loca-
tion of property lines, the street
right.of-way, and discussed the
problem.
I am also enclosing a second
letter from Mr. Hughes, indicating
that "temporary measures" taken
by the A. Y. McDonald people to
eliminate the traffic problem have
Regular Session, February 1, 1971

improved the situation and are
"temporarily" acceptable to Welge
Motor and Machine Company.
The Hughes letter, however,
indicates the desirability of a more
permanent solution.
I believe that this means the re-
moval of the McDonald loading
dock from the street right.of.way.
At this time I do not have any
such arrangement with the Com-
pany.
Respectfully,

January 28, 1971
Honorable Mayor and
Council Members
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission has reviewed a request
to reclassify property located at
the intersection of Evergreen and
Kanfmann Avenue, described as
Lot 2 of Katharine Seippel Sub-
division, in the City of Dubuque,
Iowa, from Single Family Resi.
dence to Two Family Residence
classification.
The property around this site
is developed for single family res.
idences and this is a single lot
designed for the same purpose as
the property around it.
It was the opinion of the Com-
mission that reclassification of this
property would not be in keeping
with the general plan for the area
and would constitute spot zoning.
It is the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission
that the request, as described
above, not be approved.
Respectfully submitted,
CITY PLANNING AND
ZONING COMMISSION
Don Gilson,
City Planner
Mr. Peter Seippel addressed the
Council by stating that he would
appreciate an opportunity to reo
state his zoning request to the
Planning & Zoning Commission.
Councilman Pregler moved that
the communication be referred
and Diamond Grill building situ-
ated at the northeast corner of
Ninth and Main Street. Said fall
was allegedly the result of the
City's failure to maintain said
sidewalk in a safe condition as the
result of which decedent alleged-
ly suffered injuries from which
she died thereby and thereafter
said claim in the amount of
$25,000.00 was made.
I have made an investigation of
this matter and have reviewed
the pertinent law and have re-
viewed all of the circumstances
surrounding this injury and it is
the opinion of the City Attorney
that there was no negligent act
or negligence by the City of Du.
buque in failure to act which in
any way caused the alleged fall
and resulting injuries and death
of the said claimant.
Accordingly, it is the recommen-
dation of the City Attorney that
the claim of Gerda Juno, admin-
istrator of the Estate of Louise
Huebner, for injuries allegedly
suffered by Louise Huebner be de-
nied.
Original claim is attached here-
to.

amount of $248.45 to cover hospi-

the said claimant has made an of-
fer to settle said claim in the
amount of $600.00 and it is the
recommendation of the City At-
torney that said offer of settle-
ment be accepted and that the
City Auditor be instructed to draw
warrant payable to Raymond J.
Moriarty, individually and as nat-
ural parent for Gregg Moriarty, a
minor child, and transmit same to
the City Attorney for delivery up- I
on receipt of duly executed re-
leases.

Honorable Mayor and
Council Members
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission has held a public hear-
ing on a proposal to reclassify from
Single Family Residence classifi-
cation to Multiple Residence, prop-
erty described as Lot 2 of McDan-
iel's Park Hill Subdivision, located
at 2820 Davenport Street, in the
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
This property is bounded on two
sides by bluffs that drop away
from the site, by a play field and
a single family residence on the
third side, and by a street on the
remaining side. Because of these
factors there would be a compat-
ible relationship with the area
around the site.
It is the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission
that the property described above
be reclassified from Single Fam-
ily Residence classification to Mul-
tiple Residence.

U$.52, Iowa '3 (Locust Street) and

U.S. 52, Iowa 3 {Central Avenue)
and 4th Btreet 82%
U.S. 1'12, Iowa 3 (Central Avenue)
and Øth Street 88%
The percentage participation is I
based on the projected volumes of
highway vehicular traffic utilizing
the intersection.
We have attacbed an agreement
furwarded to us by the State to be
executed by the City Council. Af-
ter this agreement is e!<Ccuted, we
