Council met in Special Session at 5:00 PM in the Library Auditorium
Present: Mayor Buol, Council Members Braig, Cline, Connors, Jones, Lynch, Michalski, City
Manager Van Milligen; City Attorney Lindahl.
Mayor Buol read the call and stated this is a Special Session of the City Council called for
the purpose of discussing the 2006-2007 Update of the Comprehensive Plan. Charles
Winterwood, Long Range Planning Advisory Commission Chairperson, presented the updates
to the Council for their consideration.
Objective 4.6 Create a bluff overlay district with appropriate building height restrictions for
bluff-top, bluff-line, and bluff-base development to maintain bluffs as scenic attractions: Council
concurred to strike entire Objective.
Objective 5.3 Protect natural vistas from the clutter of inappropriate physical development:
Braig recommended striking the entire Objective. Council concurred.
Objective 5.6 Create a “checks and balances” approach to development, including bluff
preservation and development, based on some of the same concepts used in the Historic
Preservation Ordinance; e.g. historic and cultural significance, and also develop a scale to
measure whether a structure is “in proportion:” Cline recommended striking the entire
Objective. Council concurred.
Objective 6.7 Involve developers in creating mixed use developments and mixed use
regulations, including architectural designs for new commercial uses (buildings, signs, parking)
that are indistinguishable from surrounding residential uses; don’t allow franchises to dictate
architecture, signs, and parking lot designs: City Manager recommended striking the phrase
“…that are indistinguishable from surrounding residential uses,” Council concurred.
Objective 8.5 Encourage the provision of access to persons with disabilities: Michalski
recommended replacing the word “encourage” with “assure.” City Attorney Lindahl suggested
the wording “Promote assurance with provisions of ADA for persons with disabilities.” Council
concurred.
Objective 8.5 Repair and enhance use of public stairways or create acceptable alternatives
for pedestrian access to connect bluff neighborhoods with downtown. Council concurred to
strike the entire Objective.
Objective 8.6 Install sidewalks or alternate pedestrian access on all roadways where
possible. Council concurred to strike the entire Objective.
Objective 9.2 Ensure new development is appropriate for existing street system. Council
concurred to strike the entire Objective.
Objective 9.8 Compliment the human scale and historic bulk and mass of existing structures
when designing new or redeveloped structures. Michalski stated that this is a contentious
matter, agreed with the ending point but re-wording was necessary. Council concurred.
Objective 9.10 Develop a policy for relocated businesses to work with public and the City to
develop exit plan for redevelopment or rebuild on same site. The Mayor stated that this is
unmanageable. Braig recommended striking the entire Objective. Council concurred.
Objective 10.6 Balance farmland and critical area preservation with the need to annex
developable land for urban expansion. Council questioned how this would work with
annexation and stated this should be part of Dubuque County’s Comprehensive Plan.
Concurred to strike entire Objective.
Staff was directed to schedule another work session to continue the review of the
Comprehensive Plan.
There being no further discussion, upon motion the meeting was adjourned at 6:16 PM.
