ACTION ITEMS/SITE PLAN: Application of Dagmar Industries, LLC to review a
medical office site plan for compliance with Ordinance 27-11 that established standards
for the Cedar Lake Plaza Planned Unit Development.
Nick Lang, MSA Professional Services, said that he represented Dagmar Industries,
LLC. He said they would like to construct a medical office building in the Cedar Lake
Plaza Planned Unit Development. He reviewed the access, off-street parking, and
building height.
Staff Member Kritz discussed the Cedar Lake Plaza PUD requires site plans be
reviewed by the Commission and City Council. He noted the performance measures in
the PUD included limited access, additional screening between the property line and
the right-of-way, and the requirement that the building pad be established below the
grade of both Cedar Cross Road and Starlight Drive. He said that the submitted site
plan provides adequate screening along Starlight Drive and that the proposed building
pad will be below the grade level of Starlight Drive. He said that the submitted site plan
is compliant with the requirements of the Cedar Lake Plaza PUD Ordinance.
Commissioners discussed the request and felt it was appropriate and in compliance.

Lake Plaza 2nd Addition. Motion carried by the following vote: Aye — Baumhover,
Roussell, Norton, Christ, Russell, Belmont and Henschel; Nay — None.
PUBLIC HEARINGS/PUD AMENDMENT: Application of Dubuque South Pointe, LLC
to amend the South Pointe Planned Unit Development to allow additional two -unit
dwelling building lots for property located on Rockdale Road.
Commissioner Norton recused himself from the table.
Aaron Healey, Ruhl & Ruhl, LLC, said that he represents Dubuque South Pointe, LLC.
He said they would like to amend the designation of 19 lots from single-family to two-
family to enable them to build townhouses. He said that there is a demonstrable need
for additional two -unit homes in the community.
Commissioner Belmont asked for clarification regarding the number of lots in question.
Staff Member Kritz clarified the number and location of the lots included in the
amendment request. Staff Member Kritz noted that the amendment to the South
Pointe, LLC PUD is to change lots originally designated as R-1 to R-2 to allow
development of two -unit townhouses. He said it is typical for newer subdivisions within
the city to include a mix of residential uses, which he said included single and multi-
family lots. He said that lots that can accommodate either single-family homes or 2 -unit
townhouses seem to be popular. He discussed trip generation data, noting that there
would be a slight increase in traffic if all the lots were developed for 2 -unit townhouses.
Commissioner Roussell said that as there would not be a significant increase in traffic
she was in favor of the request. Commissioners discussed the request and felt it was
appropriate.
Motion by Roussell, seconded by Baumhover, to approve the amendment to the South
Pointe PUD. Motion carried by the following vote: Aye — Baumhover, Roussell, Christ,
Russell, Belmont and Henschel; Nay — None; Abstain — Norton.
ITEMS FROM PUBLIC: None.
