Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
ECIA is currently assisting Dubuque County with the revision of the Dubuque County Land Use
Development Plan. As part of this planning process, we would like to incorporate the land use plans of
each City near their corporate boundaries into the County's Plan. The information provided by your
community will help us determine the location of compatible land uses near your boundaries for planning
purposes. Please consider the area up to two miles fi.om your boundaries if appropriate.
Your City may not have an adopted land use plan in place to direct future growth, therefore we would
request that the City Council take a few minutes to consider and answer the following questions. If
possible, please sketch the information on the enclosed city map. We akeady have copies of recently
adopted city land use plans for Asbury (1999), Cascade (2000), and Dubuque (1995).
1. If your City is anticipating annexation in the near future: - Approximately how many acres may be included?
- What use(s) is planned for the annexation area?
- Near what portion of the city boundary is this area(s) located?
2. If your City is expecting major changes in the use of land adjacent to, but within, the current city
boundary:
- What change(s) in use are expected?
- Near what portion of the city boundary is this area(s) located?
Also, please include any comments the City may have on land use, development, transportation,
emergency response, recreation areas, or any other subjects related to land use in Dubuque County.
Return your written replies to Jim Gonyier at ECIA. Should you have any questions or would like more
information on the County's Planning Process, please contact Jim at (800) 942-4648 or 563-556-4166.
We hope that a representative fi.om your community will be able to attend one of the three Community
Workshops scheduled in September for the Dubuque County Land Use Development Plan. Thank you in
advance for taldng the time to provide your comments.
Sincerely,
Jim Gonyier
