To The Dubuque City Council Re: Rezoning property at 989 Langworthy from R-2 Family Residential to OR
Office Residential
I will not be able to make the Council Meeting where this is addressed and because of that, respectfully ask
your consideration in this matter.
I purchased my home in 1973 and have never had any issues with my neighbors as one by one the homes
around me were bought and razed. A few years ago I attempted to purchase the land in question from Mercy
Hospital and was told that while they are not purchasing any land, they were also not selling any. Sometime
after that they sold the property to William May. We are the only residence directly adjacent to the property in
question.
I oppose the zoning change for the following reasons:
It will decrease the value of my property, impact my privacy and quality of life in addition to being a safety
hazard for us and our grandchildren.
We did not move next to a dental clinic, he moved next to us and knew the zoning of that property when he
purchased it.
As an interested observer (because prior to this William May tried to get a variance to the zoning which was
denied unanimously) I have watched the current parking situation for over 2 months and not once have I
observed a full lot.
Carol and I love our home and because Carol works at Mercy, it's location is ideal for us. We respectfully ask
that you deny this request.
