Southeast Comer of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road To rezone property from AG Agricultural District to PUD Planned Unit Development with a PC Planned Commemial, PO Planned Office and PR Planned Residential designation (approval recommended by the Zoning Advisory Commission on June 7, 2000; referral by City Council on July 16, 2001). Dear Mayor and City Council Members: The City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission has reviewed the above-cited request. The application, staff report and related materials are attached for your review. Discussion The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, reviewing Public Works Director Mike Koch's memorandum dated August 2, 2001 regarding the scope of the traffic study proposed in June 2000. The submitted traffic study did take into account projected vehicle trips generated from development of the Hilby property and Asbury Plaza. Commissioners also reviewed the minutes of their June 7, 2000 meeting, noting that public comments focused on traffic and storm water drainage. Recommendation By a vote of 5 to 1, the Zoning Advisory Commission reaffirms their recommendation to approve the requested rezoning by Plastic Center, Inc. A simple majodty vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request. Respectfully submitted, Eugene Bird, Jr., Chairperson Zoning Advisory Commission Attach merits CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA MEMORANDUM August 2, 2001 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Zoning Advisory Commission Kyle L. Kritz, Associate Planner Referral of Plastic Center Inc.'s PUD to the Zoning Advisory Commission INTRODUCTION The City Council, at their July 16, 2001 meeting, referred a request by Plastic Center Inc. to place their rezoning request for a public hearing back to the Zoning Advisory Commission. The Zoning Advisory Commission had previously reviewed this rezoning request and recommended approval of the rezoning at their June 2000 meeting. DISCUSSION The City Council referred Plastic Center Inc.'s rezoning request back to the Zoning Advisory Commission because of recent changes to neighboring properties surrounding the proposed site. Specifically, Asbury Plaza is now under construction and development of the former Hilby property by Harvest Development Group for 162 residential lots. The City Council wanted the Zoning Advisory Commission to review the project again in light of updated traffic counts, signalization along Asbury Road and the Northwest Arterial and the development of an intelligent traffic system along the Northwest Arterial corridor. City Engineer Mike Koch has provided a memorandum indicating that the traffic study that was provided to City staff for the Plastic Center Inc.'s proposal included anticipated traffic volumes from Asbury Plaza, QHQ Properties and the Hilby property. The estimated traffic volumes in the future reflected full build-out of Asbury Plaza and the anticipated development of the QHQ Properties and Hilby property based on the Comprehensive Plan adopted in 1995. Intelligent traffic systems are addressed in the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (DMATS) 2020 Long Range Transportation Plan. A copy of that portion of the DMATS plan is attached for the Commission's review. Mike Koch also addresses this issue in his attached memorandum. A copy of the Zoning Advisory Commission minutes, PUD Ordinance and staff report Plastic Center Inc.'s PUD August 2, 2001 Page 2 from the June 2000 meeting is attached for the Commission's review and information. RECOMMENDATION Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the attached information and reaffirm their recommendation regarding the requested rezoning from AG Agricultural District to PUD Planned Unit Development with a PC Planned Commercial, PO Planned Office, and PR Planned Residential designation.

Kane, 2100 Asbury Road, Suite 2 CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA MEMORANDUM August 1, 2001 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Kyle Kritz, Planning Services Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director Plastic Center - Asbury Road and the Northwest Arterial You have asked me to review the May 17, 2000 traffic study performed on the Plastic Center Development for the intersection of Asbury Road and the Northwest Arterial. The study estimates the site trip generation after full build-out of the development, and also takes into account the normal growth pattern of the surrounding areas through the Year 2020 as per the City's long-range plan. It therefore took into account the Hilby and Corey development projects. While the City currently does not have plans for an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) on the Northwest Arterial, this technology--a new traffic controller with ITS capability--should be required of the developer as part of the upgrade to the intersection of Asbury Road and the Northwest Arterial. Please let me know if you have any further questions. MAK/vjd cc: Michael C. Van Milligan, City Manager David Ness, Civil Engineer CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA MEMORANDUM June 2, 2000 TO: FROM:. SUBJECT: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director Plastic Center Traffic Center INTRODUCTION The following is a summary of the Traffic Impact Analysis for the proposed Plastic Center Development at the southeast corner of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road. The Analysis was performed by Yaggy Colby Associates of Mason City, Iowa. DISCUSSION The proposed development includes 33 acres of single family residential, 25 acres of multi-family residential, 15 acres of park/open space, 24 acres of planned commercial, 39 acres of commercial and 9 acres of office/service development. The report estimates the traffic to be generated by the proposed site after full build-out, and recommends site improvements to accommodate the additional traffic volumes for both 2000 and extended out to the Year 2020. The initial peak hour p.m. traffic volumes generated by the proposed development are estimated to be 1,054 vehicles entering the site and 1,114 exiting the site. The proposed plan has two access points along the Northwest Arterial (St. A and ENT. 1) and three access points onto Asbury Road (ENT. 3, ENT. 5, ENT. 6). The proposed street layout was designed to discourage traffic flow from neighboring streets relying on existing Rosement as a collector street into the residential portion of the site, but cautious not to create a parallel shortcut which could serve as an alternate to the Northwest Arterial. Stub streets are connected into the development at Admiral, Rosemont, Grant and Westway Streets. Access to the commercial areas was designed to avoid the use of residential streets as accesses to these properties. The commercial traffic is intended to be accessed from the Northwest Arterial and/or from Asbury Road, with only 271 vehicles anticipated to be accessing the site from the neighborhoods during the peak hour. Three access plans were analyzed for the purpose of the traffic study, however, the developer has requested Scenario 1 for the best utilization of the property. Page 2 June 2, 2000 Scenario #1 The requested access to the site would be from a fully signalized intersection from the Northwest Arterial, a second right-in/right-out only intersection from the Northwest Arterial, and three access points from Asbury Road. Year 2000 initial traffic would require the installation of a traffic signal at the full intersection of the Northwest Arterial (St. A) for the safe and efficient operation of this highway access. A signal would not be required for the right-in/right-out access to the Arterial. The Northwest Arterial intersection with Asbury Road would initially operate at a Level of Service C. A traffic signal would be required for the development's first access to Asbury Road (ENT. 3), to allow the estimated volume of traffic to exit the site safely during peak hours. This signal would operate at a Level of Service C. The development's second access to Asbury Road is an extension o,f Rosement Street (ENT. 5). Rosemont Street is a collector street and is designed to provide a Collector Street function as the primary residential access to the site. This connection would also likely serve as a major entrance to the proposed Hilby development north of Asbury Road. A signal will be necessary where Rosement intersects Asbury. This signal would operate at a Level of Service' B. For the year 2020, the proposed signalized intersection with the Northwest Arterial would still operate at a Level of Service B, The Northwest Arterial and Asbury intersection would drop to a Level of Service D, and the Asbury intersections would still operate at a Level of Service C, Scenario #2 The second scenario eliminates the right turn-in/right turn-out access onto the Northwest Arterial (ENT. 1 ). This would cause additional traffic volumes to be shifted to other intersections with the following anticipated results. The Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road intersection would require the addition of east and west dual left turn lanes to continue to operate at a Level of Service C for the Year 2000. The westerly signalized access to Asbury Road (ENT. 3) would require the widening of Asbury Road for dual left-turn lanes to maintain a Level of Service C for the Year 2000. The Rosemont intersection (ENT. 5) would be anticipated to remain at a Level of Service B, the same as Scenario #1. For the year 2020, the Northwest Arterial and Asbury intersection is likely to drop to a Level of Service D, and the Rosemont intersection would remain at a Level of Service C, the same as Scenario #1. Page 3 June 2, 2000 Scenario #3 The third scenario would eliminate both access to the Northwest Arterial (St. A and ENT. 1 ), forcing all traffic entering the site to utilize Asbury Road. This scenario would also require the widening of Asbury Road for dual left turns, but would also require an eastbound right turn lane at the westerly access to Asbury Road (ENT. 3). The Level of Service at the westerly Asbury Road (ENT. 3) access would likely drop from a Level of Service B to Level of Service C. The Rosement intersection (ENT. 5) would likely drop from a Level of Service B to a Level of Service C. SUMMARY The City currently has plans to provide an additional westbound lane to Asbury Road to match the eastbound capacity from the Corey site. This will help to mitigate some of the initial traffic impacts from the development. The anticipated 2000 Level of Service operations are all at acceptable levels. While the year 2020 Level of Service operations drop to D, this has been allowed as an acceptable Level of Service for the Medical Center Development and the Corey Development this far out into the future. Eliminating the access points to the Northwest Arterial can provide an acceptable operation of the center with the suggested improvements, however, the impact of concentrating all of the access to and from Asbury Road must also be given thorough consideration. Without any access to the Northwest Arterial, the study recommends for the Year 2000, the construction of an eastbound right-turn lane on Asbury Road at the Northwest Arterial, and northbound and southbound dual left turns on Asbury Road at Entrance #3, and the widening of Asbury Road west to the Northwest Arterial (already in City's plans). in addition, for the Year 2020, dual left turns would need to be constructed for northbound, eastbound, and westbound movements at the Northwest Arterial intersection with Asbury Road. The addition of right-turn lanes on each approach of this intersection would also be needed. The Year 2020 Scenario #1 would require a five-lane cross-section on Asbury Road, including a westbound left-turn lane. For the Year 2020 Scenario #3, a cross-section of six lanes on Asbury Road east of Entrance 3, and seven lanes west of Entrance 3 would be required. Page 4. June 2, 2000 Such levels of improvements to Asbury Road without access to the Northwest Arterial, Scenario 3, would require considerable widening, purchasing of right-of-way, and more than likely purchase of single-family homes in this vicinity. Additional right-of-way needs along the development should be dedicated to the City at this time for future construction. MAKIksa cc: Kyle Kritz, Associate Planner 1.

He said that with signals and additional turning lanes, this intersection would be safe and adequate. Commissioner Smith said that a light would slow traffic and that he is in favor of this development. Commissioner Hardie compared the proposed signage with C-3 standards. He said that Menard's is requesting excessive signage. He felt that 300 square feet with a 40 foot maximum height on signage is adequate for this facility. He said that he does not want future development to exceed the signage requirements. Commissioner Hardie also indicated that unless the City or State want to place a moratorium on development in this corridor, the submitted request is the best that can be cone at this time, as it allows for future development of a frontage road system. Commissioner Bird stated that he does not believe the proposed signage is excessive, and that 750 square foot billboards should be permitted at this location. Commissioner Stiles asked about access to the existing Menard's in the area, stating that it appears that other large stores have two to three access roads. Tom O'Neil said that a single access is adequate because this wilt be a signalized intersection. The Commission discussed future commercial development in this area and the potential for a fully signalized intersection. Motion by Bird, seconded by Chdst, to approve the rezoning with the condition that freestanding signage at this location not exceed 40 feet in height. Motion was approved by the following vote: Aye - Smith, Hardie, Chdst, Bird, Stiles, Nesler and Schlitz; Nay - None. PUBLIC HEARING~CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN'~BUESING g ASSOCIATES~PLASTIC CENTER: Application of Buesing & Associates/Plastic Center Inc. (tabled from May 3, 2000 meeting) to rezone property from AG Agricultural District to PUD Planned Unit Development with a PC Planned Commercial, PO Planned Office and PR Planned Residential designation located at the southeast comer of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road. Ken Buesing, representing the Plastic Center, introduced Plastic Center management including Jim Pfohl, Lynn PfohI-Quigley, Ann PfohI-Kirby and Engineering personnel Don Pfeiler, John VVhite, Jeff Rhoda and Attorney Brian Kane. He stated that the Plastic Center is interested in developing the 160-acre site with a mix of uses which will be anchored by two big box retailers. He said that each big box development will be approximately 130-160,000 square feet in size. He said that the plan layout buffers existing R-1 residential development with single-family residential and multi-family residential development. He stated that the commercial properties would be dnged by multi-family development. He stated that drainage, utilities and access issues are all addressed by the conceptual plan. Minutes-Zoning Commission Wednesday, June 7, 2000 Page 7 Mr. Buesing said that the Comprehensive Plan calls for this area to be a mix of commercial and residential uses with access to Asbury Road. He discussed access alternatives to the site, including a dual access to the Northwest Arterial. He said that the Northwest Arterial is a Type 3 road, which permits at-grade interchanges and requires a minimum of 1,000 foot separation between intersections. He discussed the traffic study undertaken by the Plastic Center, and stated that two accesses to the Northwest Artedal are necessary. He stated that he has met with area neighbors and has tded to address their concerns. He said that Mike Koch recommended that before additional stop signs are placed at existing intersections that the developer wait until the development is complete and traffic patterns emerge from the new street configuration. He said that the Resurrection Church wants the Plastic Center to place frontage roads along Asbury Road, but he said that City staff have indicated that frontage roads in this area would not be typical for this kind of development. He stated that he agrees with the neighbors recommendation to reduce the speed limit on Asbury Road from 35 miles per hour to 30 miles per hour. He discussed the interior traffic and lot configuration with the Commission. Mr. Buesing said that an infiltration study that the City is currently undertaking will ultimately help eliminate storm water inflow problems for the sanitary sewer down stream from the proposed project. Mr. Buesing said that the Plastic Center would be willing to sell property in the existing drainage way to adjacent property owners along St. Celia. He said that cut-off lighting would be required for the development, which should reduce light spill- over onto adjacent residential properties. Staff Member Kritz outlined the staff report, stating that the request is to rezone agricultural property to a PUD with Planned Commercial, Planned Residential and Planned Office designations. He discussed the zoning lot configuration with the Commissioners. He outlined the future platting process necessary if the conceptual development plan is approved. He stated that any future access to this site would be coordinated with the Hilby's proposed access across Asbury Road from the proposed site. He stated that office uses are typically good buffers between multi- and single-family development. Staff Member Kritz discussed the traffic study for this area and storm water detention requirements. Virgil Blocker, representing Resurrection Church, discussed a letter that he distributed to the Zoning Advisory Commission. He asked that access on Asbury Road be limited to two signalized accesses with a school crossing. Shane O'Bden, 2196 St. Celia Street, said that people speed on the Northwest Arterial. He said the Northwest Artedal was originally designed as a by-pass from the City's west side to the downtown area. He said that single-family residential property should be placed on this property before cornmerc'~l development is permitted. He said that St. Celia Street would be used as a cut-through if this development was approved. He stated that he has concerns regarding potential water mn-off generated by the additional development. He stated that further study of storm water drainage for this area is needed. Anthony Hemmer, 3837 Hillcrest Road, said that storm water runoff is a problem in this area. He said that provision of adequate drainage for this site is critical. Minutes-Zoning Commission Wednesday, June 7, 2000 Page 8 Cad Rahlf, 2255 St. Celia Street, said that the residential lots along the proposed commercial development area will not sell or be developed. Chds Manning, 2165 St. Celia Street, said that drainage is a problem in this area. He stated he wants the current open area to remain open. He said that local roads should not be extended into this site. He said there is much day care in this neighborhood, and that additional traffic may pose a danger to the children. Frank McCauley, 2111 St. Celia Street, said that storm water ton-off is a problem in this neighborhood. He said that storm water must be managed appropriately. Staff Member Kritz discussed storm water detention and potential detention basin design. Steven Ptein, 2177 St. Celia Street, said he is concemed with water run-off and the detention area. He said that the detention area behind his house will have a negative impact on his property value. He said that much water pours down through the current drainage dudng storms. He requested that the Plastic Center create a cul-de-sac on West Way so that it does not continue into the proposed development site. Chris Manning said that the area behind his property is a detention area, which currently does not drain appropriately. He said that the detention basin will be located in his back yard. Anthony Grebner, 3771 Hillcrest, asked if the neighbors' back yards are going to be tom up for utility extensions. Mr. Buesing stated that he agrees that storm water is a problem in this area. He said that the City is currently addressing some of the storm water run-off issues raised by the neighbors. He said that the City plans to manage storm water and try to reduce the problem in this area. Mr. Buesing explained the mechanics of storm water detention to the Commission and the audience.. Commissioner Smith questioned whether the detention basin would be sized and located as shown on the plan. Staff Member Kritz said the detention basins could be modified based on more detailed storm water calculations. He discussed storm water management and stated that further detailed study would identify detention basin size and location and additional drainage way improvements. Mr. Buesing said that the Pfohls do not mind if West Way is stubbed as a cul-de-sac and not extended into the development. Commissioner Stiles stated that the Northwest Artedal is configured differently than John F. Kennedy Road. He stated that the arterial has single controlled accesses, unlike the multiple curb cuts for each business along John F. Kennedy Road. He stated that he is troubled by Minutes - Zoning Commission Wednesday, June 7, 2000 Page 9 the fact that the Plastic Center may request rezoning for the residential lots in the future. He said he believes the access from West Way into the development is appropriate. Commissioner Hardie stated he is not in favor of access to the Northwest Arterial, additional signals on the Northwest Arterial and potential signals on Asbury Road. He stated that the commemial development indicated on this plan is too intense for the area. He stated that the commemial development is equivalent to three WaI-Marts and said that development of this property should require the use of frontage reads. Chairperson Schlitz stated that the Zoning Advisory Commission and the City Council formedy denied QHQ's access to the Northwest Arterial, which is directly across from the proposed site. Staff Member Kritz confirmed that a right-in/right-out access requested by QHQ was denied. Commissioner Hardie stated that the current conceptual plan could be redesigned to be less intense. He questioned the landscaping language stating that 40 trees for the entire site is not adequate. Staff Member Kritz clarified the language and said that the Commission could increase the number of trees required. He stated that the sign regulations are currently the same as those on the Wendell Corey property. Commissioner Hardie asked if the detention pond is going to be fenced. Staff Member Kritz stated that detention ponds are not typically fenced. Commissioner Smith asked about the timing of storm water detention with the development of the entire pamel. Commissioner Hardie recommended that additional trees be required; that the detention area be fenced; that the traffic access be redesigned; that a park be added and that commercial area reduced. Chairperson Schlitz discussed access to a Type 3 highway referring to the information provided by Mike Koch. Commissioner Hardie said that no commercial property should be located along Asbury Road. Chairperson Schiltz stated he feels that the lot configuration was good but the access to the Northwest Arterial was not ideal. Commissioner Christ said that QHQ located directly across the Northwest Arterial was tumed down and its development was less intense than this proposal. She said that this proposal is much larger than QHQ's with five accesses, and that she is opposed to this plan. Commissioner Nesier said that it will take a long time to develop this property. He said that access onto the Northwest Arterial for this property is necessary. Minutes-Zoning Commission Wednesday, June 7, 2000 Page 10 Commissioner Bi~ asked ifthis development would be possible with access only onto Asbury Road. Jeff Rhoda, Yaggy Colby Incorporated, representing Plastic Center, discussed access issues. He said an Asbury Road access only is not ideal. He said that with access onto the Northwest Arterial, vehicular progress on the Northwest Arterial could be maintained through coordinated signalization. Chairperson Hardie stated that all of the traffic and engineering studies are based on this singular design. The Commissioners discussed requirements for the addition of a park to this development. Chairperson Schlitz felt that the existing drainage way could be modified to accommodate a park. Commissioners discussed the appropriate size and location for a park for this development. Motion by Smith, seconded by Christ, to approve the rezoning conceptual development plan with the conditions that; 1) the storm water detention areas be fenced and; 2) a two- acre park be added to the development. Motion carried by the following vote: Aye - Nesler, Stiles, Bird, Smith, and Schiltz; Nay - Hardie and Christ. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 10:20 p.m. Kyle L.

PLANNED DISTRICT STAFF REPORT Zoning Agenda: June 7, 2000 Project Name: Property Address: Property Owner: Applicant: Plastic Center, Inc. Southeast corner of Nor[hwest Arterial and Asbury Road Plastic Center, Inc. Buesing & Associates, Inc. Proposed Land Use: Existing Land Use: Adjacent Land Use: Flood Plain: Water: Storm Sewer: Commercial/Residential Proposed Zoning: PUD Agricultural Existing Zoning: AG North ~ Agricultural/Residential Adjacent Zoning: North - AG/R-1 East - Residential South - Residential West - Commercial/AG No Yes Yes East - R-1 South - R-1 West - C-3/AG Total Area: 160 acres Existing Street Access: Yes Sanitary Sewer: Yes Previous Planned District: None. Purpose: The applicant is requesting rezoning the subject parcel from AG Agricultural to PUD to provide for development of a commercial plaza, multi-family housing and single-family housing. Property History: The property has been used for agricultural purposes since annexation into the City. Physical Characteristics: The property is characterized with rolling hills and drains to the southeast. Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: The 1995 Comprehensive Plan designated the area as Growth Area 11 and stated, "Area 11 reflects substantial commercial development buffered from single-family and multi-family residential by park and open space with access onto Asbury Road." Staff Analysis: PLANNED DISTRICT STAFF REPORT Page ? Streets: The submitted conceptual plan proposes extensions of several existing City streets and the construction of three new streets. The streets are proposed as public streets and will be built to City specifications. Sidewalks: Sidewalks wilt be provided as part of all new and extended public streets. Lighting: Lighting will be as per City of Dubuque standards. Signage: Staff have proposed signage for the commercial portion of the development similar to that of the proposed commercial center at the northwest corner of Asbury Road and the Northwest Arterial. Signage for the office, multi- family and single-family developments wiI~ be the same as those for the OS, R-3 and R-1 districts. Bulk Regulations: Bulk regulations for the commercial office and residential sections of the development will be the same as those for the C-3, OS, R-3 and R- I districts in the Zoning Ordinance. Permeable Area (%) & Location (Open Space): Approximately 15 acres is assigned to park and open space as well as the detention area for the proposed development. In addition, there will be green space provided as part of development of the residential portion as well as the commercial and office portions of the development. Landscaping/Screening: Landscaping and screening will be as per City of Dubuque Standards as site plans are submitted for each phase of the development. Phasing of development: None proposed. Impact of Request on: Utilities: Existing city utilities are adequate to serve the site. Traffic Patterns/Counts: The Northwest Arterial is classified as a primary arterial. The Iowa Department of Transportation counts indicate that there are 8,500 vehicle trips south of Asbury Road, and 5,700 vehicle trips north of Asbury Road. Asbury Road is classified as a minor arterial, and carries approximately 8,300 vehicle trips east of the Northwest Arterial and 7,800 vehicle trips west of the Northwest Arterial. Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site. Environment: Staff do not, anticipate any adverse impact to the environment provided adequate erosion control is practiced during all phases of construction, PLANNED DISTRICT STAFF REPORT Page 3 and that adequate storm water management practices are following during all phases of construction, with adequate detention facilities provided as part of the development of the property. CIP Investments: None proposed. Staff Analysis: The submitted conceptual development plan for Plastic Center, Inc. is a planned unit development that establishes areas for commercial, office, multi-family and single-family development. The commercial and office development is located near the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road. Multi-family development is used to buffer the commercial area from the new proposed single-family subdivision that borders the existing single-family homes along St. Celia and Hillcrest Road on the east and south sides of the subject parcel. The development proposes a full intersection approximately 1,000 feet south of the Northwest Arterial and.Asbury Road intersection with a right-in/right-out access approximately 1,000 feet south of the first access. Three entrances onto Asbury Road have been proposed and have been reviewed by City Engineering on a preliminary basis for site visibility and conflicts with existing and/or proposed driveways and streets. Four existing stub streets on the east and south sides of the development are proposed for extension, which include Admiral, Rosemont, Grant and Westway. These streets have been stubbed out since their respective subdivisions have been built, and were intended to be extended to facilitate development of the subject 160 acre parcel. Attached to this staff report is a memorandum from Public Works Director Mike Koch, outlining the Engineering Department's review of the submitted site impact traffic study for Plastic Center, Inc. Mr. Koch has indicated the impact of the proposed development on level of service of the adjacent roadways as well as the intersection of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road. The proposed development also includes 15 acres of open space, parkland and detention area. The open space area is primarily located behind the single-family homes that front on St. Celia. The detention area is located in the southeast corner of the site. Staff anticipate that additional detention areas will be necessary and can be incorporated with development of the commercial property. The applicants have indicated on the conceptual plan two primary commercial buildings, one of 175,000 square feet and one of 130,000 square feet, with their associated parking areas. The balance of the commercial property would be developed as demand dictated. The applicants do not have a plan for the balance of the commercial property at this time. The Commission would review any subsequent commercial plats for these areas. The proposed planned commercial area basically will be regulated the same as C-3 General Commercial zoned property. The multi- faEnily and single-family portions of development would be developed after submittal PLANNED DISTRICT STAFF REPORT Page 4 and approval of required plats before the Zoning Advisory Commission and City Council. The submitted conceptual plan does not serve as a preliminary plat for the proposed residential development. The proposed rezoning is in substantial compliance with the 1995 Comprehensive Plan. The subject property was designated as Growth Area 11 and proposed to have, "substantial commercial development buffered from single-family and multi-family residential by park and open space with access to Asbury Road.~ The conceptual plan proposes several street extensions and new streets. The streets are proposed to be built to City street standards and dedicated to the public. All public utility extensions for sanitary sewer and water mains will also be dedicated to the public. Because of the large scale of the subject property, the applicants have submitted a conceptual plan that depicts the two larger commercial businesses they anticipate locating in the development. The primary access points are shown on the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road, as well as extensions of existing streets stubbed into the property. The applicants have approached this planned district by providing the Commission a framework of how the 160 acres will develop over time. The applicants understand that the Commission and City Council will have further reviews of future development of this property through the subdivision process, and that the submitted conceptual plan will serve as the basis for the review of future preliminary and final plats. Staff recommend that the Commission review Section 3-5.5(F) that establishes plan approval standards for planned districts. Prepared by: .~'"./-~Reviewed: z,'/~/.

Dear Mayor and City Council Members: The City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission has reviewed the above-cited request. The application, staff report and related materials are attached for your review. Discussion The applicant's representative, Ken Buesing, spoke in favor of the request, reviewing the proposed development and the proposed intersections with the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road. Mr. Buesing also reviewed concerns expressed by neighboring property owners at the neighborhood meeting held June 5th. Several people spoke with concerns regarding the proposed development's impact in terms of storm water, increased volume of traffic in adjacent neighborhoods and congestion on Asbury Road. Staff reviewed a memo from Public Works Director Mike Koch concerning the impacts of the proposed development on the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road. The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, looking at the project's impact on adjacent property from a traffic and storm water perspective. The Commission discussed whether the commercial portion of the development was too intense. The Commission also discussed the provision of storm water detention and park land. Recommendation By a vote of 5 to 2, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve the request with two (2) conditions. Conditions recommended by the Commission are: That a two-acre park be provided with the development. That detention basins be protected with fencing.

No. 1 3756 C~TY OF DUBUQUE Resu rrection 4300 Asbury Road Dubuque, IA 52002-0497 JUN 0 ~ 2000 June 6,2000 Chairperson Zoning Advisory Commission Planning Services Department City Hall 50 W. 13th Street Dubuque, IA 52001 Dear Mr. Chairperson: The Church of the Resurrection has reviewed the Plastic Center - Asbury Road Conceptual Plan. The Church of the Resurrection does not concur with three (3) accesses to Asbury Road. The Church requests the use of frontage roads, with one (1) access to Asbury Road, at the crest of the hill. This access to be aligned, with the middle access to the Resurrection property, and controlled by a traffic signal. If a single access is not approved, the Church requests that the accesses to Asbury Road be limited to two (2), with both controlled by traffic signals. Since these accesses would not be at the crest of the hill, it is requested that a school traffic signal be required near the middle access to the Resurrection property. This would permit a safer crossing for children attending Resurrection School, as welt as pedestrians crossing Asbury Road. This being a school zone, the speed limit should be reviewed in this area, and reduced from the existing thirty~five (35) miles per hour, to a proper limit. The Church of the Resurrection is very concerned about the safety for everyone, but especially the children attending Resurrection School. Your consideration and review of these requests will be appreciated by the members of the Resurrection Community. A representative of the Resurrection Finance Committee, Mr. Virgil Blocker, will be present at the public headng on Wednesday, June 7, 2000, to address the Commission regarding these matters. Pastor CiTY OF ouBUQU~ JUN 0 We, the undersigned, residents of the Saint Celia Street area neighborhood, are not opposing the develolJment of the property owned by Plastics Center, Incorporated, at the southeast comer of the NW Arterial and Asbury Road. However, we do have some concerns, addressed below, which need resolution prior to the onset of development. 1. Westway Street should be cul-de-sac'd as it currently is, and not extended into the new development. Extending this stregt into the new development creates the following concerns: · Increase of traffic flow into an already well-traveled neighborhood. · Safety concerns for the neighborhood children, and ex/st/ag several in-home day care providers. · Extension of the street could create restriction of the existing water drainage system, which is already a problem during heavy rains and spring thaws. 2. Construction of an adequate water detent/on system MUST be constructed PRIOR to the onset of any development for the following reasons: As is, the current water drainage system is inadequate, and causes frequent flooding of adjacent land, during heavy rains or spring thaws. The current influx of water causes downstream sewer backup to adjacent properties, Failure to correct this problem prior to development, increases the likelihood of property damage, and safety and health concerns. 3. The proposed residential development MUST be constructed PRIOR to the proposed commercial development, as a buffer to the ex/sting neighborhood. Not doing so could result in the following: · Decreased valuation of current neighborhood properties. · Unwillingness of prospective homebuyers to locate necrt to an ex/sting large-scale commercial development. · Increased commercial development, and no residential buffer for the ex/sting neighborhoods. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
