The letter was concerning the filling of property generally described as north of Flexsteel Industries, east of Highway 52, and legally described as Lot 1 and 3 Frommelt Place. This letter asked for information pertaining to the filling, including permits obtained, and a report that outlines the future impact of this activity and the potential for increased flooding in the Couler Valley area. DISCUSSION Attached to this memorandum is a copy of the Floodplain Development Permit file for the subject property, that includes the Floodplain Development Permit for the property, the Conditional Use Permit obtained from the City of Dubuque Zoning Board of Adjustment, copies of correspondence with Dave Allen of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, correspondence from Michael D. Hayes of the Army Corps of Engineers, a copy of the Erosion and Sediment Control Permit, and the Grading and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. The subject property is located within a Zone A on the City's Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). Zone A does not have base flood elevations determined and when a proposed project is to be located in a Zone A, it requires that the local flood plain administrator contact the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) for help in determining a base flood elevation. The owners of the property have been intermittently filling the site since approval of their Conditional Use Permit and Floodplain Development Permit in 2004. The property Memo to Michael C. Van Milligen August 7, 2008 Page 2 of 2 owners seek to develop the parcel under its current LI Light Industrial zoning for a commercial or industrial use. The City of Dubuque is a member community of the National Flood Insurance Program, and as such, is required to follow the regulations established by the National Flood Insurance Program. The applicants provided the required information and went through the established process for securing permission for filling on a property designated as a Zone A on the City's Flood Insurance Rate Map. As part of the process, City staff and the applicant's engineering firm, Buesing & Associates, consulted with IDNR staff.in determining the base flood elevation for the subject property. The enclosed documents point out the IDNR did change their determination that 100- yearflood level of 627 feet after the Floodplain Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit were approved by the City of Dubuque and the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Subsequently the IDNR indicated that the revised base flood elevation for the property as being 630.4 MSL to 630.7 MSL. On May 22, 2008, Tom Larsen of Buesing & Associates, contacted Associate Planner Kyle Kritz by email asking whether the permits were still valid for the subject property. Mr. Kritz informed Mr. Larsen by email that the permits were still valid, but advised him that a new Floodplain Development Permit and Elevation Certificate will be necessary before any structure can be constructed on the site. Staff's interpretation was based on the fact that base flood elevations are used to establish the minimum level of fill necessary to elevate a structure one-foot above the 100-year flood plain, that a City Erosion and Sediment Control Permit would be required for the site, and that prior to any permits being issued for construction on the site, and that a new Floodplain Development Permit and Elevation Certificate must be submitted to insure compliance with the revised base flood elevations as determined by the IDNR in their letter of November 15, 2004. ACTION STEP Please review the enclosed information and contact me if you need additional information or clarification of the information in this memorandum. Enclosures Prepared by: Kyle L.

SITE DESCRIPTION This Pollution Prevention Plqn (PPP) is for the fBling in of this area using excess material from another site. This PPP covers approximately 11.8 acres with an estimated 8.5 acres being disturbed. The PPP is locatetl in an oreo of commercial activities land use. The PPP is located in a area of soils classified as Caneek Silt Loam, Urban land Dorchester complex, Hydrologic SoB Group "B". The estimated runoff coefficient for the site after construction is 0.15. Refer to the project plans for locations of typical slopes, tli[ch grades, and major structural and~non-structural controls. A copy of this pion will be on file of the owner's office and on site. Runoff from this work wit Row into on unnomad tributary to the Little Moquoke to River and ultimately to the Mississippi River. POTENTIAL SOURCES OF POLLUTION Site sources of pollution generated os o result of this work relate to sits and sediment which may be transported os o result of o storm event. However, this PPP provides conveyance for other (non-project relatetl) operations. These other operations hove storm water runoff, the regulation of which is beyond the son trot of this PPP. Potenttolly this runoff can contain various pollutants related to site-specific land uses, Examples are: Rural Agricultural Activities: Runoff from griculturol land use con potentially contain chemicals including herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and fertilizers. 3. CONTROLS Prior to beginning grading, ezcovotion or clearing and grubbing operation, sill !ante shall be placed along the perimeter of the oreos to be disturbed of locations where runoff can move off site. Vegetation in a[eas not needed for construction shall be preserved. As oreos reach their final grade, additional silt fences, silt basins, intercepting ditches, sod Rumes, earth dikes, filter berms and inlet filters ale., shall be Installed as specified in the plans and/or as required for the project. This will include using silt fence os ditch checks and to protect intakes. Temporary stabilizing seeding shall be completed as the disturbed oreos ore constructed. If construction nativity is not planned to occur in o disturbed oreo tluring the current construction season, the oreo shall be stabilized by temporary seeding or mulching. Other stabilizing methods shall be used outsitle the seeding lime period. As the work progresses, additional erosion control devices such os silt fences, .filter berms and inlet filters may be required os determined far the project after Reld investigation.

Date: 05/22/2008 11:38 AM Subject: Re: Key City Development along Hwy 52 Tom, Sorry about the delay in getting back to you but I was in an all day meeting yesterday. Lot 1 & 3 Frommelt Place did have a Flood Plain Development issued in 2004 so the site can be filled. Originally DNR indicated that the base flood elevation for the site was 627 MSL. However, subsequent to the Flood Plain Development Permit approval the DNR revised the base flood elevation for the property as 630.4 MSL to 630.7 MSL. This doesn't impact the filling of the site now but in the future a new Flood Plain Development Permit and an Elevation Certificate will be necessary before a building can be constructed on the site. Please contact me with any questions. Kyle »> "Thomas P. Larsen" <tplarsen@buesing.com> 05/20/2008 2:20 PM »> Hi Kyle, Tschiggfrie excavating is going to be working on the 32nd St. Detention Basin and they are planning on placing the excavated material on the property owned by Key City Development Co., LLC, along Hwy 52, as shown on the attached pdf. (It would appear the Key City Development is Joe Zwack & John George.) (Lot 1 & Lot 3 of Frommelt Place are the legals.) Tschiggfrie asked us to draw up a SWPPP and submit NPDES to the DNR. In doing some research in our files I found a "Flood Plain Development Permit Application" and a "Planning Application -Conditional Use Permit". Are these permits still valid?

We determined your project as proposed does not require a Department of the Army (DA) Section 404 permit. The decision regarding this action is based on information found in the administrative record which documents the District's decision-making process, the basis for the decision, and the final decision. No indication of discharge of dredged or fill material was found to occur in waters of the United States (including wetlands). Therefore, this determination resulted. You are advised that this determination for your project is valid for five years from the date of this letter. If the project is not completed within this five-year period or your project plans change, you should contact our office for another determination. Although an individual DA permit and individual IEPA 401 certification will not be required for the project, this does not eliminate the requirement that you must still acquire other applicable Federal, state, and local permits. Should you have any questions, please contact our Regulatory Branch by letter, or telephone me at 309/794-5367. Sincerely, -~ ~ ~~ Michael D.

Adjusting that elevation based on stream slope along the reach of the project, the 100-year flood elevation ranges from 630.7 at the upstream end to 630.4 at the downstream end. The minimum protection level for high damage potential development would be one.foot above the mentioned 100-year flood elevation. The floodway through the project site was calculated at 20 feet as measured from the top of the left (west) streambank.

VONK, DIRECTOR Key City Development -Couler Valley Flood Plain This letter is in response to your application on behalf of Key City Development, LLC to place fill on the flood plain of Couler Valley. Earlier I had provided you with a 100-year flood elevation based on information obtained from the Dubuque County Flood Insurance Study. After reviewing the site plan submitted with the application, it's obvious that the site topography has been significantly altered some time in the past and that altered topography was not considered when determining the flood elevation at this site. In addition, there apparently exists, or is proposed, a stream crossing at the downstream end of this property. That crossing was not taken into account when developing tha flood elevation for this site. Consequently, the 100-year ilo~:u elevation that was originally provided is considered to be unreliable and must not be used. In order to determine a more accurate 100-year flood elevation as well as the floodway width it will be necessary to submit a stream valley cross section at the approximate location as shown on the attached site plan and a streambed profile through the project reach. Also include the following information concerning the downstream crossing: culvert/ bridge type and size, invert elevation, and the roadgrade profile extending at least 100 feet from each side of the crossing. If you have any questions regarding this matter, feel free to contact me at 515/281-6930. Sincerely, Dave Allen Water Resources Section Enc.: Site map c w/enc.: Kyle L.

The City's Flood Plain Ordinance requires that in areas designated as Zone A and base flood elevations have not been determined, that the Department of Natura{ Resources is consulted to determine whether the property involved is wholly or partly within the floodway or floodway fringe. I am in receipt of a copy of your letter dated August 3, 2004 to Terry Koelker of Buesing and Associates that did establish a 100-year flood elevation of 627 feet NGDV. Mr. Koelker indicated that the limit of the fill was established in part based on a conversation with the DNR to provide a buffer between the creek and the proposed fill. This information may be redundant, and that you and Mr. Koelker may have already reviewed this issue. However, I wanted to complete my ftle and make sure all appropriate agencies have been contacted and responded. I appreciate your attention to this matter. Please contact me at 563-589-4210 if you have any questions or need additional information. Sincerely, 6/ Kyle L.

CONDITIONAL USE STAFF REPORT Applicant: Buesing and Associates Development, LLC Address: Highway 52 North (Lot 1 and 3 Frommelt Place) Proposal: To place fill on a designated flood hazard area. Existing Land Use: Vacant Conforming Status: Use -Yes Structure - N/A Docket:- 63-04 Existing Zoning: LI Site Characteristics: The subject property encompasses approximately 11.8 acres, is located on the east side of U.S. Highway 52 across from the Dubuque Shooting Society. The subject property abuts property owned by Flexs#eel to the east and singie- family residences #o the south. If granted, would use impact adjacent properties? The subject property is located in a designated flood hazard area that does not have base flood elevations established on the City's Flood Insurance Rate Maps. However, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources has provided information to the applicant and the City of Dubuque that the base flood elevation in this area is 627 feet above mean sea level. Adjacent properties have experienced flooding from time to time in the past. Placement of additional fill on the subject property most likely will not increase the flooding problem to adjacent properties, as adjacent properties are already lower than the subject property. Recommended conditions to alleviate negative impacts: The additional fill placed on this property, if approved, should be compacted in such a manner as to drain any runoff to the north away from existing residential and industrial properties. is reasonable return or use limited without conditional use? Yes. Withou# granting a conditional use permit to allow additional fill to be placed on this property, the ability of the owner to develop the property will continue to be negatively impacted. If granted, would use benefit the community generally? The development of the subject parcel for a new business or service will benefit the community generally provided adequate control of storm water is provided. Staff Analysis: The applicants are requesting a conditional use permit to allow the placement of fill on property currently designated as a flood hazard area. The approximately 11-acre parcel is located along U.S. Highway 52 across the highway from the Dubuque Shooting Society. Conditional Use Staff Report -Highway 52 North Page 2 The subject parcel is bordered on the south by existing residential homes and abuts property owned by Flexsteel Industries to the east. The subject property is designated as "A" on the City's Flood Insurance Rate Maps, but does not have base flood elevations shown on the map. However, the Department of Natural Resources for the State of Iowa has provided documentation that the base flood elevation is 627 feet above mean sea level. The applicants wish to fill the property to a height of 629 feet above mean sea level, which would be two feet above the base flood elevation. Planning staff has received one call from a nearby property owner whose main concern was how the proposed fill will impact storm water in the area. The subject property is for the most part already above surrounding property from past fill, and the additional fill should have not a significant impact on flooding conditions in the area provided that the site is drained away from existing developed areas toward the northeast. Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the standards for granting a conditional use permit contained in the Zoning Ordinance.
