January 15, 1969
Honorable Mayor and
Council Members
Gentlemen:
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission has reviewed the two
attached plats. The first plat pro-
poses the vacation of two portions
of Sylvan Drive and all of the
lots and easements in Blocks 4, 5
and 6 of Bies Sobdivision. The sec-
ond plat provides for a new right-
of-way for Sylvan Drive from
Pennsylvania Avenue south along
the west property line of the Bies
Subdivision. The plat also provides
for an extension of Century Drive
from the south line of Bies Sub-
division, where it presently joins
Bies Drive, to a point on the west
line of Bies Subdivision where it
will intersect with Sylvan Drive.
These proposals are a part of the
master plan for development of
the area lying west and northwest
of the shopping center. The objec.
tives of the plan for this particular
area have been:
1. Maintain the residential char-
acter of the existing develop-
ment in Bies and Westside Man-
or Subdivisions.
2. Encourage an orderly develop-
ment of commercial and indus-
trial uses west of the shopping
center.
3. Provide for a commercial street
to be extended in a westerly
directon from the shopping
center area toward Pennsylvan-
ia Avenue and the proposed
major arterial to the west. The
purpose of the east-west street
is to encourage commercial and
industrial development west of
the shopping center and to pro-
vide additional access to the
shopping center from the devel-
oping areas to the west. This
will reduce traffic that would
otherwise be channeled through
the Pennsylvania-Kennedy in-
tersection and the Kennedy-
Wacker intersection.
42
Regular Session, February 3, 1969
4. Provide for a separation of
commercial and through traffic
from residential traffic in the
Bies and Westside Manor Sub-
divisions.
5. Provide for a street and lot
layout in Bies Subdivision that
wilI encourage a better residen-
tial development.
6. Provide a logical transition
from commercial uses to resi-
dential uses.
The proposals made in these two
plats are in accord with the plan-
ning objectives for this area and
accomplish part of the plan. It is
the opinion of the Commission that
this action will encourage and
make possible better development
of this area in view of the exist-
ing conditions.
It is the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission
that the portions of Sylvan Drive
be vacated as indicated on the
proposed plat, marked exhibit 'A'
and that the final plat of Sylvan
Place be approved.
Respectfully submitted,

February 14, 1969
Honorable Mayor
and City Councilmen
Gentlemen:
The Planning and Zoning Com-
mission has held a public hearing
on a proposal to reclassify from
Two Family Residence to Multiple
Residence property described as
lot 29 and 30 of Union Addition.
This site is located at the inter-
section of Rising Street and Oak
Street. The site has very irregular
topography, rock out-croppings and
mineral holes. There are no struc-
tures on the site at the present
time. In order to locate a building
on this site a considerable amount
of earth work would be necessary
or construction of piers to support
the building.
This site is a part of the Cleve-
land neighborhood. The general
development plan proposed that
this area remain in the Single Fam-
ily and Two Family Districts. The
following statement was included
in the plan in regard to this area:
"The district has both variety and
organization and represents a po-
tential over-all residential stability.
The continued maintainence of
such existing residential districts
depends on deliberate policies to
prevent intrusion of business uses
unrelated to the immediate neigh-
borhood; to restrict increased res-
idential density occurring throngh
small lot sizes, residential unit
conversion, and indiscriminate mul-
tiple family housing development;
and to provide adequate internal
street connections for future de-
velopment."
The studies for the improvement
of Dodge Street proposed that Ris-
ing Street be vacated. If this is
accomplished the only access to
this property will be through Sin-
gle Family residential areas lying
between the site and Bryant Street.
This would cause an increase in
traffic to be carried on these
streets.
With the existing street layout,
topography and proposed vacation
of Rising Street the use that would
best carry out the intent of the
general development plan for this
area would be Single Family or
Duplex development which would
be permitted under the existing
zoning.
It is the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission
that the request not be approved.
Respectfully submitted,

Hnnorable Mayor
and Council Members
Gentlemen:
Tbe City Planning and Zoning
Commission has held a public hear-
iDg on the following proposal:
1. Reclassify from Single Fam-
i1!¡r to Loeal Business "A"
property loeated on the east
- of Kenœdy Road and
lying north of the new fire
statinn.
2. Reclassify from Single, Fam-
ily Residence ta Multiple Res-
idence property l<Icated on
the e35t sMle of Kennedy
Road and extending from the
new fire station south to Hoo-
ver Elementary School.
This property is part of the pro-
pwed plat of Powers Place. The
area that is proposed to be cias&-
fied Local Business "A" adjoins an
existing Local BI1siness "A" Dis-
trict on the north, backs on to a
Single Fam~ Residence District
and abutts the fire stati"", OÐ the
south. Area across Kennedy -
to the west is classified Local Bus-
iness "B." AcceSB tn this property
would be from Kennedy Road.
The area that is proposed to be
~ified Multiple Residenee will
have access from Kennedy Bøad
and frQm extensioo ()f Hillcrest
Road. Curb cuts along Kennedy
Road are pro!>OS"d t<> be at approx-
imately %00 foot intervals. The pro-
posed plat of !'owers Place has
been designed to aceomodate this
type of development and to per-
mit a logical pattern of residential
development, ranging from the
multiple family uses along Ken-
nedy Road to single family de-
tached houses on tbe remainder
of the property. II has become ap-
parent in the last three years that
the demand f...- apartments is in-
creasing rapidly while tbe demand
fm: single family reside".". has
maintained a constant level. Ev-
ery indication is that this trend
will continue and that tbe need
for land for multiple residence de-
velopment will grow.
This pra"""al is in accord with

Honorable Mayor

Gentlemen:
TIle City Planning and Zoning
Commission has held a public
hearing on a proposal to reclassify

Family, property described as, lots
2 through 11 all in Block t! and lots
1 through 4 all in Block 5, and
~~; lh~~Ug~':t:':~ ~U~ài;~ I
sion.
This area is occupied by 5 sin-
gle family residences and one, four
unit, apartment house. This area
,...,. ...,classified from Single Fam-
ily Residence to Multiple ReM-
denee as a part of the rezoning
of property lying on the west side
of Kennedy Road from Pennsyl-
vania to Asbury. The single family
houses that have been located in
this area were bnilt during the
time while the proposed change
was being considered by the Plan-
ning Commission and City Council.
It was the opinion of tbe Com-
mission that because the Single
Family houses were built during
the time when it was classified
Single Family that there request
shoold receive consideration.
This proposal would make the
existing four unit apartment house
a noJ>.cnnforming use.
It is the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission
that !be request be approved to
permit tbe area to be further de-
veIoped as a Single Family area.

Gentlemen:
Thc City Planning and Zoning
C"mmission has held a public hear-
ing "n a proposal to reclassify
from 8>ngle Family to Two Fam-
ily, property described as, lots 2,
3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 all in Shiras Ter-
race Subdivision.
This property is located 00 Sbi-
ras Avenue and adjoins the Or-
chard Rills Subdivision.
The prnposal would involve es-
tablishing a relatively small di&-
trict on the zoning map and is
not normally œnsidered good zon-
mg practice unless there is some
unique circumstances. In this par-
ticular case most of tire property
fronting on Shiras Avenue from
this point to Lincoln Street is in
the same situation. Any justifica-
tion for changing from Single Fam-
ily to Two Family classification
of lots in Shiras Terrace would
also be applicable to the other
properties on Shiras Avenue.
Planning for this area has en-
visioned that it would he devel-
oped for Single Family Residences.
Even though the proposal wonl"
bave little effect on the pIan for
this area there is no apparent rea-
son for the change.
It is the recommendation "f the
Planning and Zoning Commissiou
that the request not be approved.

that the claimant damaged the ex-
haust system of his vehicle re-

Re: Caroline T. Menke
Gentlemen:
On April 17, 1967, Caroline T.
Menke of 1375 Iowa Street, Du-
buque, Iowa filed claim against
the City of Dubuque, Iowa claim-
ing that on February 18, 1967 she
sustained a fracture of her lower
right arm when she fell in the
crosswalk on Main Street at or
near the corner of 14th Street and
Main Street in the City of Du-
buque, Iowa, claiming a defective
condition thereat caused by the
freezing of slush and snow follow-
ing a thaw.
I have conferred with the claim-
ant, with her attorney, and have
examined her medical and hospi-
tal bills which total $321.00.
The claimant through her at-
torney has made an offer of set-
tlement of this claim in the
amount of $500.00 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
a warrant payable to Caroline T.
Menke in the sum of $500.00 and
transmit same to the City Attor-
ney for delivery upon receipt of
duly executed Releases. Original
Claim is attached hereto.

Hon. Mayor & City Council
Gentlemen:
On January 22, 1969, the re-
port of Koa C. Gatrel, building in-
spector, regarding the request of
F & C Auto Mart of 1320 White
Street for building permit to
erect a masonry garage on the
rear of the adjoining lot of 1330-
1334 White Street was referred to
the City Attorney.
It is the recommendation of the
City Attorney that the approval of
this permit cannot be refused in
the light of the existing conditions
that the area for which the build-
ing permit has been requested is
presently under study upon a pe-
tition of property owners to re-
zone the area under consideration
together with other area from its
present classification to Multiple
Residence District Classification.
The permittee would no doubt
be aware that in the event this
area were ever to be rezoned, that
the present proposed land use
could be in conflict with the zon-
ing classification as changed and
would constitute a non-couforming
use.
Despite the foregoing, it appears
to the writer that a building per-
mit cannot be denied to the pe-
titioner.
Respectfully submitted,
R. N. Russo
City Attorney

December 4, 1968
Honorable Mayor
and Council Members
Gentlemen:
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission has reviewed a request
to have that portion of Dana Drive,
lying between Kennedy Road and
Woodland Drive, vacated.
Vacation of this street was con-
sidered by the Planning and
Zoning Commission during ¡June of
1967, when zoning of this area was
being considered. It was the
opinion of the Commission, at that
time, that the street was not nec-
essary for the development of the
area and that, in fact, it would be
a hindrance to commercial devel-
opment of this area. The Commis-
sion's recommendation anticipated
that this street would be vacated
at some later date and the portion
of the right of way in question was
included in the area to be classi-
fied Local Business "B".
The Commission has found that
this street has not been improved
for public use and that no utilities
are located within the right of
way. It is the opinion of the Com-
mission that there is no future
public need for this right of way.
It is the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission
that the right of way be vacated
and that the property be made

Yeas-Mayor Pregler, Council-

Nays-None.
Mr. Owen Riley, representative
of the Teamster's local, was in-
vited to submit wage proposals
for the group he represented. One
of the first items of objection was
the six month probationary peri-
od in effect at the present time.
The six month period is consid-
ered too long and suggested a
change to a three month period,
to start when a person begins em-
ployment. This of course is not
meant to affect summer em-
ployees. On February 3rd the
Union was elected to represent
employees and a 6% across the
board raise that was proposed by
the City was voted down by the
union membership. At a meeting
with the City Manager and de-
partment heads held on February
6th the six percent increase was
not enough to satisfy the union
group and the proposed increase
was not comparable to other in-
dustries. The grOUp went on rec-
ord as asking for thirty cents per
hour across the board. In range
18F, 19F, 20F, 21F, according to
the present pay plan, the average
raise would amount to eighteen
cents per hour based on the 6%
increase proposal. Range 22F me-
chanics it would be twenty cents
per hour more, and 23F, foremen,
it would be twenty-one cents per
hour additional. The Park depart-
ment, Recreation Department and
Street Department are requesting
thirty cents per hour more across
the board, which would affect
thirty-six laborers, twenty truck
drivers, Ten equipment operators
No.1, seven mechanics and nine
foremen, which would total eighty-
two people. This is the group that
Mr. Riley is representing and he
made it plain that this ;s the only
group. The City Manager stated
that the groups worked very hard.
To start with, the probationary
period was discussed without com-
ing to a conclusion. He also in-
formed the group that the Coun-
cil had received no prior informa-
tion. If one step to everyone is
granted it would take an addi-
tional $69,909 to finance same. At
the present time there is only
$66,000 available to finance. Ac-
tually the City has 468.72 em-
ployees, 458.5 of which are part
of the pay plan. It would take
$203,000 to finance a total wage
increase as proposed with step in-
crease included. On the basis of
458.5 employees and granting 25¡!
per hour more it would cost
$54,700 additional. This would be
taking all assets remaining reduc-
ing balances to zero. Laborer
range I8F at $2.87 per hour
would mean a 6.9% increase and
at 19F at $3.00 per hour it would
mean a 6.8% increase. Moving up
one whole bracket would cost
$12,000 more. Mayor Pregler
moved that the matter of wages
