ACTION ITEMS
PLAT OF SURVEY: Application of City of Dubuque, for property located at 949 Kerper
Boulevard, to approve the Final Plat of Jule Place.
Kyle Kritz, Associate Planner, explained the reasoning for the plat. He said the plat will
consolidate property that is associated with the Jule Operation and Training Facility. He
explained that the property was the former site of the City Operation and Maintenance
Facility. He said the plat will consolidate smaller lots and reflect the new Kerper
Boulevard Right-of-Way which was changed as part of the new Jule Operation and
Transit Facility. He said the plat is a minor final plat and requires Commission and City
Council approval. He said the plat is in compliance with the Unified Development Code
and he recommends approval.
Commissioner Russell asked staff about the purpose of outlots B, C & D. Staff Member
Kritz said that lots that are designated a letter are typically lots dedicated to the city for
public purpose and not developable. He said Lots B, C & D are part of public right-of-
way.
Commission Russell asked if the Lots B, C & D should be noted on the plat as non-
buildable. Staffperson Kritz said that the certificates associated with the plats
sometimes address the lots that are buildable. He said the certificate for this plat does
not call out Lots B, C & D as being non-buildable.
The Commission discussed Lots B, C & D and the use of these properties.
Commission Nortion noted that the plat calls out lots A, E & F specifically because they
are being dedicated to the city.
Motion by Russell, seconded by Roussell, to approve the Final Plat of Jule Place subject to
the future use of Lots B, C & D being noted on the final plat. Motion failed by the following
vote: Aye — Baumhover, Roussell, and Russell; Nay — Chris, Norton, and Henschel.
Motion by Christ, seconded by Norton, to approve the Final Plat of Jule Place as submitted.
Motion carried by the following vote: Aye — Baumhover, Christ, Norton, Roussell, and
Henschel; Nay — Russell.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
PUD AMENDMENT: Application of Key City Investment Company/Georgie Yiannias to
amend the ShopKo PUD Planned Unit Development Zoning District to allow
development of an outlot.
Steve Moore, representing Georgie Yiannias, explained the request to the Commission.
He said he will be handling the real estate development of this property. He discussed
the history, size and land uses of the site. He said they will build a 5,000 sq. ft. multi-
tenant retail center. He said the site has more parking that what is allowed required.
Staff Member Kritz presented the staff report. He described the historical land uses
and zoning designations of the site. He said the existing planned unit development
(PUD) allows an 84,000 sq. ft. retail building and an indoor restaurant. He said before
they can develop any of the existing parking lot for another building the PUD would
need to be amended. He said that he would like the property to be zoned C-3 General
Commercial like the adjacent property. However, a clause in the C-3 District regulations
said that any building over 60,000 sq. ft. would require the property to be in a PUD. He
said the PUD is being amended to include C-3 General Commercial regulations. He
said there are approximately 450 parking spaces on site and the existing building
requires 260 parking spaces. He said the existing sign outside ShopKo is 350 sq. ft.
and only 200 sq. ft. is allowed. He said the sign would be grandfathered. He said the
utilities around the site are adequate to handle the proposed building.
Commissioner Russell if the area to be rezoned is only for the 5,000 sq. ft. building.
Staffperson Kritz said the entire site would be rezoned. Commissioner Russell asked if
the existing parking lot configuration would remain. Staff Member Kritz said the parking
lot could be reconfigured. Commission Russell if the site will need to be landscaped.
Staff Member Kritz said the area where the new building will be constructed would need
to meet the UDC landscape requirements. He said the remaining area would not be
required to be brought up to Unified Development Code landscape standards because
it will not meet the 25°k expansion threshold that would kick in the landscape
requirements.
Commission Norton said that once a site plan has been submitted to the City, the city
departmental staff will verify that the entire site will meet parking requirements. He also
discussed sanitary sewer connections. Staff Member Kritz said he runs these PUDs by
the Development Review Team to verify if the site can be adequately served by public
utilities.
Commissioner Roussel said she would like to add that she likes the fact it will make a
more efficient use of the space. Commissioner Russell agreed.
Motion by Christ, seconded by Russell, to amend the ShopKo PUD zoning district to allow
for development of the out lot. Motion carried by the following vote: Aye — Baumhover,
Christ, Norton, Roussell, Russell, and Henschel; Nay — None.
