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 Julia Cheung, the applicant, spoke in favor of the request, reviewing the proposed rezoning to R-2 Two-Family Residential District, noting she plans to construct a single- story duplex accessing Evergreen Drive. The applicant, in response to concerns raised by neighbors, stated that a duplex would not increase vehicle trips, lower property values, be a safety risk to the neighborhood, or cause storm water problems. Staff reviewed the staff report, reviewing the surrounding zoning and land use, existing vehicle trips along Asbury Road and former zoning designations applied to the property. Staff reviewed a handout on spot zoning and the land use designation for the property on the 2030 Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan. There were several public comments in opposition to the request, citing concerns about added traffic, available on-street parking, lack of maintenance of the applicant's current property, reduction in property values if a duplex is allowed to be built, and that R-2 zoning will negatively impact the neighborhood and increase safety concerns in the neighborhood. Letters of opposition, photographs, and a petition in opposition were received and filed. The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, and reviewed the Comprehensive Plan and surrounding land use. Commissioners noted that R-2 zoning allows the same range of uses as R-1 zoning, but adds two-family homes. The Commission commented that the construction of a duplex on the subject property would not appreciably change traffic, parking availability, or property values, and did not represent a public safety issue. Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 Recommendation By a vote of 5 to 1, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve the request. A super majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request as the written objection of 64% of the owners of property within 200 feet has been received.

In the 1950's the surrounding property was subdivided and houses built on the Clover Hills Subdivision in the 1960's. The farmstead remained on a 15,000 square foot lot and retained an 8,400 square foot lot adjacent to the property. The subject lot has remained vacant to the present. Physical Characteristics: The subject property is a relatively level 8,400 square foot vacant corner lot with 75 feet of frontage along Asbury Road and 112 feet of frontage along Evergreen Street. Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The comprehensive Plan encourages mixed use areas but also recommends that incompatible uses be buffered from each other. The 2030 Future Land Use Map calls for this area to be developed for single- or two-family residential use. Impact of Request on: Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site. Traffic Patterns/Counts: ]DOT 2013 Average Daily Traffic counts indicate 14,700 vehicle trips per day on Asbury Road just west of the subject property, and 12,600 vehicle trips per day on Asbury Road east of the subject property. Asbury Road is Rezoning Staff Report— 3150 Asbury Road Page 2 classified as a minor arterial. The addition of one residential unit at this location should have limited impact on overall traffic volume in the neighborhood. Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the property. Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment provided adequate erosion control and storm water management is provided during all phases of development. Adjacent Properties: The subject property is located in a single-family residential area characterized by single-story ranch style houses on standard lots. The subject property is approximately 8,400 square feet in area with frontage on both Asbury Road and Evergreen Street. The addition of a second unit at this location should generate very little traffic and have little impact on density and demand for on- street parking. Therefore, the proposed rezoning should have little impact on the use, value and enjoyment of the adjacent properties. CIP Investments: None proposed. Staff Analysis: The applicant is proposing to rezone the vacant lot located at the corner of Asbury Road and Evergreen Street from R-1 Single-Family Residential to R-2 Two-Family Residential district. The list of uses and bulk standards is identical for both districts with the exception that the R-2 district permits duplexes and the R-1 district does not. The surrounding residential lots vary in size from 6,000 to 10,000 square feet in area. Most houses in this neighborhood meet the required setbacks and have paved drives and attached garages. The addition of a second unit at this location should generate very little traffic and have little impact on density and demand for on-street parking. The subject lot is approximately 8,400 square feet in area when the R-2 district permits a duplex to be located on a property with a minimum of 6,000 square feet of lot area. Either a duplex or single family home in this district has to be setback a minimum of 6 feet from the adjacent residential properties and a minimum of 20 feet from both the Asbury Road and Evergreen Street frontages. Therefore, the proposed rezoning should have little impact on the use, value and enjoyment of the adjacent properties. Staff recommends the Commission review Article 9-5 of the Unified Development Code regarding reclassification of property.

November 7th,2013 Occasionally,planning boards or commissions are faced with a petitioner's request to re-zone property only to be challenged with an objector's claim that doing so would constitute illegal spot zoning. The plan commission often has a quandary, approve the development and risk malting an improper,if not illegal decision, or deny the development which would have financially improved the community. To better assist with this difficult decision,it is beneficial for the commission to understand exactly what"spot zoning"is. What Constitutes Spot Zoning The"classic" definition of spot zoning is"the process of singling out a small parcel of land fora use classification totally different from that of the surrounding area for the benefit of the owner of • • ` such property into the detriment of other owners. Spot zoning is,in fact,often thought of as the very y antithesis of plan zoning.When considering spot zoning,courts will generally determine whether the zoning relates to the compatibility of the zoning of surrounding uses. Other factors may include;the characteristics of the land,the size of - the parcel, and the degree of the"public benefit." illumation hyPaul Hoffman forPlannersWeh Perhaps the most important criteria in determining spot zoning is the extent to which the disputed zoning is consistent with the municipality's comprehensive plan. http://plannersweb.com/2013/11/understanding-spot-zoning-2/7print=true 11/04/2015 aSt+►L��c� PaM"«1 rHE C=OF Future Land Use ]SUB JE 2030 V Cio(Sageville Masterpiece on the Mississippi City of Dubuque ry ' W Single Family or Duplex ' 0 Multi-Family Mixed Residential Wisconsin Institutional ci.

The property we own is a double lot. Our house stands on. one lot, and the other lot-located at the corner of Asbury Rd. and Evergreen—is vacant. We plan to rezone the vacant lot to R-2 (two-family residential), which would allow us to build a duplex on it. The new structure would be a ranch-style construction with driveway access off of Evergreen. J This changes wili�ri®faffect y®u-iii any way. - - There will be no extra traffic , it will not decrease the value of your home . If our request to rezone to R-2 is denied, our second option is to subdivide the empty lot into two smaller lots and build a two-story home on each lot. This would not require any zoning change as this land is already zoned R-1 (one-family residential). We have met with City Planning and they have con- firmed that the vacant lot is large enough to be split into two separate resi- dential lots. This change does not require notification or approval from other residences. Having two two-story homes on this land may be less desirable for the neighborhood, because most of the surrounding homes are ranches and also because it may have a more crowded appearance. This is why we have chosen to pursue the duplex option. We hope you agree and will not_ oppose the R-2 zoning so we can proceed with this more visually pleasing option. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, Alex and Julia Owners of 3150 Asbury Rd.

My family has only lived on Evergreen Drive for 1%:years now and we absolutely love it. The neighbors are very friendly,there's not a whole lot of traffic. We moved away from the North end of town to get away from the crime,the traffic and also to be in a clean, nice neighborhood. The only complaint that I have is the applicants usually have a hay field for grass. It looks horrible, never cut and there's usually a lot of garbage outside. So I can only imagine what would happen if they were able to build a duplex what the landscaping would look like then. They can't even maintain their own yard now. It was only a couple of weeks ago that they finally started doing some landscaping and it's probably because they are requesting to build. We don't need to have a duplex built near us for several reasons. The traffic getting in and out of our own driveways because of the additional parking this building will need. Plus, having a duplex in the middle of our beautiful homes,will only decrease the value of them. We have a beautiful neighborhood and trustworthy neighbors,where we can leave our front door open. With a duplex being so close, our doors will be shut. This is the first neighborhood that I've actually felt safe living in. Please don't take that away from my family. I firmly believe these applicants are just out to make money and don't care what the neighbors think or how It will affect all of us in the future. Thank you for your time and consideration to deny the applicants request. Sincerely, ane E. Eggers 2220 Evergreen Dr Dubuque, IA 52001 563-581-0867 cell � 0E 19 October 30, 2015 =- 2D PLANNING SERVICES DEECITY OF PARTMENT Dear Zoning Advisory Commission Members, We are writing you to voice our strong objections to rezone the property at the northwest corner of Asbury Road and Evergreen Drive.We have lived in our home at 2230 Evergreen Drive for forty and a half years,and have enjoyed the mix of residents living in the neighborhood.The mix includes families with children of varying ages,retired couples,and elderly individuals. A change in zoning would not impact our neighborhood in a positive manner. If you drive around the neighborhood,you will see that most property owners take pride in the appearance of their homes and yards. A major exception would be the owners of the property looking to be rezoned. The previous owner had taken great pride in the appearance of the property,while the current owner(s) take no pride at all. Everything is overgrown and never trimmed.The grass is not mowed on a regular basis,and when it is, it is blown into the streets. Downed tree limbs have been thrown over the sewer drain and left _. there for long periods of time. Snow is seldom removed in a timely manner.Adding another building wood only increase the amount of neglect,but also add to the ever- increasing traffic burden at the intersection of Asbury and Evergreen. In addition, R-2 zoning allows for future potential uses that would totally upset the make-up of our residential neighborhood. Property owners have little protection against certain types of uses that could take place in years to come. Please do not allow this zoning request to take place.We want the integrity of our neighborhood maintained,as well as our property values protected. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, 4 David and Sharon McLaughlin November 2, 2015 Dear Zoning Advisory Commission, I am disheartened to feel the necessity to write to you in order to express my concern about a rezoning proposal on the northwest corner of Asbury Road and Evergreen Drive.This proposal is to change the property from an R-1 to an R-2 zone. I have lived at 2210 Evergreen Dr. for 34 years which is adjacent from the property being discussed for rezoning. My concerns about this change are 3 fold: i 1. This change will very likely impact the character of our neighborhood. As long as we have lived in our home we have been surrounded by single family residences. This is one of the reasons we initially purchased our home,as well as made several renovations to address our changing needs in a home.The rezoning would change this character of the neighborhood impacting may people who live in the area. 2. Our street has become very busy as a shortcut between Asbury Road and Kaufmann. It is very difficult for us to safely pull out of our driveway due to the traffic turning off of Asbury Rd. Additional buildings, with a driveway on Evergreen,will decrease the visibility to turn onto Asbury Rd. and will increase this safety issue. Perhaps a stop light will be needed to improve this situation at this corner. 3. My last concern is regarding our neighbors across the street, the Kahlers, and their welfare.The proposed structure that will be built on the lot is designed to obstruct their view out of their large picture window which overlooks the property. The back of the proposed structure will be only a few steps apart from the side of the house where the picture window is, therefore, blocking the view- Kahlers will always be looking at the back of the new structure instead of looking at a more scenic view. I can only imagine how this will negatively impact their enjoyment of the neighborhood. In a letter that we received from Alex and Julia on Monday, November 2nd, they state,"This changes will not affect you in any way.There will be no extra traffic, it will not decrease the value of your home." But I wonder, how do they know how this will impact me as their neighbor, I am the only one who would know how these changes affect me. I believe the extra traffic, the off street parking, the lower visibility to turn onto Asbury from Evergreen will impact me. It will create an unsafe corner, even more prone to car accidents and injury to the drivers and passengers. Also in the letter from Alex and Julia it states,"If our request to rezone to R-2 is denied, our second option is to subdivide the empty lot into two smaller lots and build a two-story home on each lot"I am sorry there seems to be a need by them to try to intimidate me to not use my constitutional right of free speech. I appreciate this opportunity to express my concerns to you regarding this spot zoning decision. Th�ank you, / ��qq�� ,//// A 4'44 Donna M. Shaw 2210 Evergreen Dr. Dubuque, Iowa November 2,2015 Dear Zoning Advisory Commission: My name is Robert Shaw. My wife and I have lived at 2210 Evergreen Drive in Dubuque for 34 years. Our house is just across the street to the East and a little north of the lot we are talking about today. I appreciate the opportunity to say a few words about this rezoning request. We have looked at all of the information that is available;we have talked to some of our neighbors,and have met with the City Planning Services Department at City Hall. We appreciated the time the City Planner took to explain his findings and answer our questions. I still have some concerns about the zoning change request and the plans that the property owners have for the property if it is rezoned. One major concern is with the traffic and additional on-street parking from any new residents of a duplex or other new homes that might be built on the corner of Asbury Rd and Evergreen Drive.There is such a short distance between Asbury Rd and our driveway that cars from Asbury Rd have very little time to see us backing out of our driveway when they come around the corner,and we also need as much open street area as possible to be able to see these cars when they are turning.This safety concern was not addressed in the City Planners report and it is a daily worry for us. My wife and I expressed other traffic concerns when the current property owners brought a previous rezoning request to the Zoning Advisory Commission.The traffic during morning, noon,and evening rush hours on Asbury Road is often backed up from JFK Road past and to the East of our Evergreen Dr intersection;at other times,the lights at JFK and the lights at Carter Rd seem to send alternating lines of cars past the corner making it hard to find a space to make a left turn onto Asbury safely. I worry that a duplex might not fit in with the single family homes in our neighborhood.I wonder why Julie and Alex want to put a duplex there.We gave the Planning Office a copy of a letter from these property owners where they say that if the zoning isn't changed to R-2 they may be forced to build some two story houses that wouldn't look as nice in the neighborhood as the duplex. We felt as though we were being cautioned not to come and give our opinion today;we hope that wasn't the meaning of the letter.The current neighborhood has existed in its current single home form for at least as long as we have lived there and I worry about changing that. i We have seen a possible plan for a duplex to be built on the lot if it is rezoned. I worry that our neighbors across the street will have their south picture window view blocked with this building as it is pictured. If the property is rezoned for a duplex,I hope that Julie and Alex will think about their neighbors in planning for any buildings,and keeping the property looking nice. Notes from the previous rezoning meeting should have a statement in them from the current owners to the effect that this isn't even a real neighborhood so why should these changes matter to us?We hope that they can see that this is a nice neighborhood and the neighborhood does matter to us. Thankyou urtime. Robert E Shaw,2210 Evergreen Dr., Dubuque, IA Bill Kahler 22 To: Bill Kahler(BKahler@Flexsteel.com) D 11212 � V D Subject: Zoning Change Opposition Letter 11 NOV - 2 2015 11 October 29, 2015 CITY OF DUBUQUE Zoning Commission Members : PLANNING SERVICES DEPARTMENT We are writing to you because we are very concerned and oppose the re-zoning request that is being heard by the Zoning Commission on Wednesday, November 4,2015 for the corner lot located at Asbury Road and Evergreen Drive. Our family has lived adjacent to the property proposed for re-zoning for 32 years and we have raised our children and now enjoy watching our small grandchildren play in our yard and learning to ride bikes and drive their little motorized toy car up and down the sidewalks and driveway.This is what a neighborhood setting is supposed to be.Our family room that we have,enjoy every night and is where we "hang-out",watch N, read and relax is at the Southwest end of our house and faces the proposed lot. If this re-zoning were to pass, it would be the end of our"quality of life" of being able to sit and look out a picture window at the people walking by on Asbury Road,the changing of the seasons and being able to have our windows open and enjoy the fresh air and breezes that make this room such a luxury. If the rezoning passes, we could be looking at a possible 2-story(up to 30' )building located just 6 feet from our property which would more than likely have 2 central air conditioning units running during the warmer weather months. Other concerns are snow removal and drainage/run-off. Where would the snow be "pushed", plowed, or piled for what could be 4 off street parking places.This could also be a potential visibility problem for parking/and or vehicle traffic coming down Evergreen or attempting to enter onto Asbury.As for drainage and run-off,the property sits a little higher than our property and with a basement under any building, is the down spouts going to empty toward our property. I paid quite a bit of money to have a contractor waterproof the areas of our basement for what was then sufficient coverage and protection so that we could finish off our basement living area. I also, at that time paid to have the downspout all ran underground and out to the curbing to help ensure water protection. If this re-zoning passes,what assurance do I have in the future of water problems or is that something I would have to pursue legally? Finally, another major concern of the neighborhood is the upkeep and future upkeep of a building and property if this rezoning is granted.The property owners moved in over 4 years ago and have done nothing in the way of improvement or maintaining what they have now.This does not do much for the overall look or property values of the neighborhood. I am not sure if this request is considered "Spot Zoning" but spot zoning should be for public purpose and result in public benefit and not solely the personal benefit of the property owner requesting the rezoning. We believe that the rezoning will have a significant impact on the character and quality of our neighborhood. If the property owners want to do something with their empty lot, let them sell it as a R-1, as the neighborhood is and should remain. We appreciate your thoughtful consideration of this matter.

Planning Services staff has reviewed letters and a petition submitted by neighboring property owners opposed to rezoning the property at the northwest corner of Asbury Road and Evergreen Drive (Parcel # 10-22-109-020). The request is to rezone the property from R-1 Single-Family Residential district to R-2 Two-Family Residential district. By a vote of 5 to 1 the Zoning Advisory Commission recommended approval of the request to rezone the property at their November 4, 2015 meeting. The area of the property owned by persons opposed to the request equals 64.8% of the private property within 200 feet of the subject lot. Therefore, it will require a super-majority of the City Council to approve the rezoning request. This memo is provided for your information.
