In the following pages, I will present the following: • The History of the Project • The Need for this Venue • Sequence of Events • Responses to Neighborhood Concerns • Character Reference Letters Again, we thank you for your dedication, as I know this is a very busy time during this holiday season. Sincerely, � .Gu�, (/G�'+Z_ �_.. l ��=ll,h'` V �-C C��1-�__.�;vt. Kristin & Steve Vaassen 2319 Manson Road Dubuque, IA 52003 The History of the Project • Steve and Kristin Vaassen had a dream of revitalizing an old lowa barn and reconstructing it on their current property in Dubuque, IA. • The original purpose was to use it for Steve's woodworking shop, storage, a safe haven for rescue horses, and for family functions. . Steve with the help from a few family members and friends, began to rebuild the century-old Cedar County barn from Tipton, IA in May, 2019. Steve had a hand-drawn blue-print showing how the numbered pieces of old timber frame were to be reconnected. (Two years prior, Steve spent every summer, weekend, and free time power washing over 100-year barn wood, pulling hundreds of nails out of each roof board, and had the foundation poured.) . As the barn began to take shape and every wood peg was put in place to hold up the structure, Steve and Kristin knew they had more than an old barn, it was a piece of history. . The dream began to change, as they felt it should be shared with others. • The Annabel Lee, LLC became the new vision, as the barn offered a small, intimate and unique venue for organizational and personal gatherings. . The barn is named after one of Kristin and Steve's Golden Retrievers, Annabel Lee. Steve's workshop is named after Annabel's brother, Otis, thus the Otis Mill. *Please see the newspaper article from the Quad-City Times for more historical background on the barn, hand-drawn "blueprints," and a few pictures of the barn reconstructed on the Vaassen property below. 2 - _ _,._ ---._ . i:� ; •u : . . _. . :-�- -"""'��_ �.,•�—� ..

According to Dubuque Area Weddings Facebook Page, the millennials are looking for this type of setting in Dubuque, IA. The closest barn-like setting is in Platteville, WI and Galena, IL. • The Annabel Lee barn will offer a hometown setting, thus out of town guests will utilize our hoteis, eat in our restaurants, and enjoy afternoons of shopping directly impacting our economy in a positive way. Other business would also benefit, as gatherings may require a caterer, flowers, decorations, photographer, hair salon, and many others. Sequence of Events In response to Mr. Arling's letter to Mr. Kritz, dated December 23, 2019, we think it is important to factually clarify the steps we went through to apply for commercial zoning for approximately 4-5 acres of our 26-acreage property. To simplify, I will bullet point items, instead of letter format. • June 12, 2019 - I made contact with Guy Hemenway, Assistant Planner with the City of Dubuque to discuss how to apply for the correct zoning for a Barn venue. Once I submitted a description of our business, we received the following letter from Guy Hemenway.

The uses you propose would be considered retail sales, indoor restaurant, assembly hall, hotel, bar and indoor amusement. Some of the uses you propose, such as serving food and alcohol, may not be considered principal uses but may be accessory to the assembly hall (event center) use. The zoning district that permits all of these uses is the C-3 General Commercial district (Section 5-13 of the City of Dubuque Unified Development Code (UDC)). To request a rezoning for this property you must submit an application (attached) complete with a check for $441.00 made payable to the City of Dubuque. The next application deadline is July 1, 2019 for the August 7, 2019 Zoning Advisory Commission meeting. Please keep in mind that, if approved, a site plan would be required to be submitted, reviewed and approved prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the event center. Requirements may include a 24'wide paved access road to the facility, paved parking (generally 1 space per 4 people as determined by the seating capacity), full accessibility, approved restaurant, bar and hotel facility and adequate utility connections and capacity. If you have any questions regarding this information please contact me at 589-4210.

After contacting Guy, updating the purpose of use, Guy said in an email, "You can submit the application without the proposed zoning district and 1 will consult with the Associate Planner Kyle Kritz when he returns on Friday." I followed Guy's guidance, handed in the application to Melinda in the zoning and planning office on Thursday, June 27tn allowing Guy to fill in the zoning district and acreage. • July 2, 2019 — I requested names and addresses of the adjacent property owners that would receive the letters within 200 feet of us, as i wanted to get invitations out to them BEFORE they received the notice from the city around July 17th.

You will receive an agenda and a copy of the rezoning staff report approximately one week before the meeting." Thus, we did not see what the neighbors received. Later that day we received another email from Guy stating: "1 wanted to let you I<now that there were two more neighbor notified than on the list 1 provided you.

Also, we have received a number of calls from concerned neighbors. 1 recommend that you invite those on the list to meet at your place for cookies and punch to discuss your project. This may help address their concerns that generally include noise and traffic." I responded, "We used the list you sent and already had a gathering. Only 2 neighbors showed up, so 1 am not sure who is calling, as the list was quite small. Suggestions?" I emailed Guy again and asked, "If you could also send me what you sent them that would help me understand their concerns.

(I did not notice this change from C-3 to OC until it was brought up later by neighbors. Also, the words "Event Center" are always used, even though you cannot find that type of permit listed under C-3 or OC zoning district.) • July 24, 2019 — After speaking with Guy and feeling a lot of negative pressure from the neighbors, Steve and I withdrew our zoning application. We also thought that maybe we could go in another direction and apply for a Conditional Use Permit, as it seemed more reasonable for what we wanted to do. We did not give up hope, and decided to invite all neighbors on Creekwood Drive, Heather Glen, Manson Road, and Miller Road to an Open House. Yes, we did say we were not going to pursue the wedding barn venue, but still wanted to share our project and get their feedback.

Out of the 120 invites, these are the people who were in attendance: -Peter Arling -Larry Vogt -Steve Hoeger -Mr. Flinn -Ron Malone � -Jan Bell -Michel Delaney (2 children, mother-in-law, Julie Delaney) All were given a chance to ask questions and share concerns. Four voiced noise and traffic concerns. Three were in favor or wanted to stay neutral. • September 6, 2019 — After sitting down with Guy, we discovered the CUP zoning would not work with what we wanted to do. So, we withdrew this application. • November 26, 2019 — We reapplied for commercial zoning. Why? After having several friends and family events, Steve and were confident that the type of gatherings we would like to host, would not disturb the neighborhood. • December 24, 2019 — We received a packet from the City of Dubuque with a petition from some neighbors opposing the zoning request. In the following pages, I have provided rebuttal statements to the neighbor's comments or letters. In summary, this was a very confusing and stressful process, from different people being notified to the type of zoning recommendations. Steve and I tried to be transparent and follow the rules, unfortunately, it only seemed to work against u s. zo Response to Neighborhood Concerns To begin this section, I would like to clarify the use of the words "Event Center." I have never described our venue as an Event Center, as I feel it gives the wrong impression. The definition of an Event Center is: EVENT CENTER: A public or privately owned stnzcture or area used for the purposes of public perfonnances, sporting events, private receptions or parties, ar similar attractions that may generate heavy traffic. Entertainment facilities may include concert halls, stadiums, sports arenas, racetracks, rodeo arenas, coliseums, and convention centers. Accessory uses may include food preparation facilities, concessions, offices, museums, parks, athletic training ar practice facilities, stores, restaurants, heliports, structured parking facilities, and patron transportation facilities. My first vision in my head of an Event Center is the Grand River Center or the Peosta Center, both facilities that accommodate 400 or more people. If I was sent a notification from the city about a possible Event Center placed close to my home, I may be concerned as well. Nowhere in the C-3 or OC Zoning lists an Event Center. Only C-3 has something close to what we want to do, which is called an Assembly Hall. In hindsight, I wish we would have seen the "Notice of Public Hearing" before it went to the neighbors, as words are important and can be misinterpreted. Now, I will address each opposition from surrounding neighbors: • Area to be Rezoned: Cutting the amount of property for rezoning only makes sense, as we switched the location of the parking lot from the lower part of the barn to the upper part of the barn for accessibility reasons. The proposed parking lot is now located from the furthest point of Creek Wood Drive with the barn blocking the view of cars and noise. The second rezoning application was not prepared to preclude the need to provide notice to the neighbors who objected the first time, as out of the first list of neighbors notified the only two who attended the meeting were the two in FAVOR of the zoning request. • Decision to Move Forward: At the July 30th neighborhood meeting, when asked if we were still planning to pursue the zoning request, we said that we were not sure. Yes, we said in the invitation, we were not pursuing it. That is because we are people who do not like conflict and do not want to 21 cause problems, so I jumped too quickly away from a negative situation. However, after hearing from not only people in opposition, but hearing I� from people who were in strong favor of the venue, it gave us reason to not completely "close the book." So, yes, this should not be a surprise, as we left it wide open on July 30tn • Timing of Application: Neighbors have had the same amount of time to digest this application, as the time frame for submitting the application, appearing in the newspaper, and receiving a written notification if within 200 feet of the property were the same as the first time. We also did not time this application in an effort to quickly advance this through zoning when people are busy or off guard during the holiday season. On October 24, 2019, I requested information about appiying for rezoning again. Unfortunately, the meeting would have been held on December 4, 2019 when were unable to attend. We decided to apply for the next round of hearings, which happened to fall on January 2, 2019. This is not the ideal � time for us, as well. • Special Exception Application: On August 24, 2017, we were granted special exception to build a barn for the use of a workshop, storage, family functions, and eventually for rescue horses. Our new application is not contrary to what was requested two years ago and we are not trying to manipulate city ordinances, if so we would have not applied for rezoning and moved forward with whatever we planned on doing. Instead, we are making sure we go through the proper protocol to pursue a new idea which has evolved over the past two years through the building process. I would like to ask my neighbors, "Have you ever had an idea or vision for your life and if so, has it remained exactly the same? Or did your vision change or become modified throughout the years as you pursued your dream for you, your family, or business?" • Increase in Traffic: Maximum capacity of the venue is 125 people. According to the requirements for C-3 General Commercial zoning, generally 1 parking space per 4 people is essential. Thus 32 parking spaces � would be required, adding approximately 32 cars to the traffic flow a couple days a week. The most common times of the day for increased traffic would be in the afternoon and late evening. No early morning traffic would be affected. It would be unlikely for guests to travel on Creek Wood Drive. When guests arrive to the venue, the Manson Road entrance would be the likely choice. Because of the curviness of Creek Wood Drive, 22 timewise it is not a shortcut to other parts of town. Out of town visitors would use google maps or some type of GPS to find the Annabel Lee. If you use google maps to find directions to or from the Annabel Lee, google map takes you the shortest direction, which is Kelly Lane. (For example, if you are going to Cedar Cross Road or Highway 20, google map offers up to 3 routes, none of which take you on Creek Wood Drive.) Also, stated clearly by a neighbor, "we have rather heavy traffic from construction, deliveries, and sightseers." I would agree, as a lot of traffic on Creek Wood is caused by these types of examples, which would not change due to a venue on Manson Road. Note: When the property was a trailer court, 48 home owners went in and out of this location, all hours of the day. • Effect on Surrounding Property Values: After discussing the situation with co-owner of Remax, Dave Sandman, he felt real estate values would not be affected if the venue was handled responsibility and respectfully. However, he did acknowledge that some neighbors may be concerned if the ownership of the property changed. Then what? Could someone completely change the vision for this property? The answer is yes, no matter how it is zoned. If someone bought it today, they could subdivide it into 10 to 15 % acre lots for single family homes causing daily traffic to increase immensely and depending on the type of homes bring the value of surrounding homes down. No matter what the property is zoned for, new ownership could change the way it is currently used today. • Noise Negatively Impacting Personal Enjoyment: The barn is located on 26 acres of residential property nestled out of sight of neighboring homes with the exception of two homes. The property is also surrounded by Catfish Creek and 200 feet of timber. According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, trees can block the din of noise by three to five decibels. Height and rows of the trees also makes a difference. The taller the tree, the more it reduces sound. Mature trees ranging from 40 ft. to 80 ft. between the barn and neighboring homes provide an additional 1.5 decibels of reduced noise for every 3 feet of the trees height. Just three rows of trees provide another 7 decibels of reduction in noise. Clusters of trees cover approximately 200 feet from the barn to neighboring houses. The barn is insulated with low-pressure sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF). The Construction Specifier-The Official Magazine of CSI reports that this type of spray foam provides an increased energy efficiency, structural support, and 23 overall sound-deadening properties. Sound-deadening sprayed polyurethane foam in a building can serve several purposes, from mitigating outside noise to enhancing a quiet indoor space. The barn is cooled and heated, allowing guests to enjoy the inside of the barn, thus reducing outside noise. As stated in the Annabel Lee Contract and in conjunction with the Dubuque Community Noise Ordinance, outdoor music or amplified noises will be prohibited after 10:OOpm, Sunday —Thursday, and after 11:OOpm on Friday and Saturday (one hour earlier than Dubuque ordinance, which is midnight). Parking will be located at the upper part of the barn, which is the furthest point from neighboring homes, except for one, reducing the noise of vehicles. • Surrounding Properties Zoned Residential: Yes, it is true that Manson Road and Creek Wood Drive are zoned residential. We also have nearby restaurants (Neighbors, Happy's, and Moracco Supper Club, and a church located by our residential areas.) • OC to C-3 General Commercial Zoning: We have not elevated our request to advance our re-zoning intentions. We are going by the recommendation of the city's zoning and planning staff to which zone we should apply. As I noted earlier, the city felt we should apply for C-3 zoning, even though in the "Notice of Public Hearing" it was identified as OC. When I turned in the paperwork, Mr. Hemenway said to leave the "Prosed zoning and acreage" blank, as he would discuss the situation with Mr. Kritz and fill it in for us. Since we decided to pull our application BEFORE we ever saw the "Notice of I Public Hearing," I did not notice the suggested zone. I simply filed the paperwork and moved on. On another note, we are being identified as an "Event Center," even though this is not listed under the C-3's principal permitted uses and feel it does not accurately describe our venue. An assembly hall seems to describe our situation, as this is what the fire department kept stating to us as they explained commercial codes, in a "place to assemble, you will need to...." Exploring C-3 with conditional zoning may be an avenue to explore. • Safety and Responsibility of Owners: On April 21, 2019 there was fire on lower portion of our acreage. Steve and I were out of town on vacation in South Dakota at the time. We had left our home in the capable hands of Four Paws, and two college age young ladies to watch our pets and home. Unfortunately, one of our children whom was not given permission decided to have a bonfire the night before in the valley. With the dead trees and 24 large hay bales surrounding this area, the wind stirred up the fire and it restarted the next day. Thank goodness we have wonderful firefighters who were able to hook up to our two fire hydrants and put out the fire. Therefore, unlike the irresponsible picture the neighbors would like to paint of us, we are responsible home owners and would never leave our home unattended, much less allow a bonfire in our valley. As mentioned above, we have two fire hydrants, one 404 feet away from the barn and another one 445 feet away from the barn. We have had Mark Burkle from the fire department tour the barn for two reasons, to assess the capacity of the venue and to explain the proper safety codes for a commercial setting. So, in the contrary to our neighbor's remarks, we have only been but responsible. May I ask them, "Have any of your children done something they did not have permission to do when you were gone? Or better yet, looking at your childhood, were you the perfect child or did you do things that your parents would not have approved of within their absence?" • Lower Acreage Clean-up and View of the Barn: Prior to this summer, the lower part of our acreage was full of dead trees, fallen down trees, old hay bales, and beautiful trees overrun with dead branches. Steve and I spent several weeks cleaning up this area in order to thoroughly enjoy the beauty of the valley. Once the area was cleaned up, and after the leaves fell, one house was visible from the barn. Before this petition was sent to us, we had already consulted with A to Z Landscaping on types of trees to plant along the creek to help with this line of vision. This was their suggestion, � "You could plant Norway Spruce, White Pine, Bald Cypress or Swamp White Oak. Vou just have to determine how wet it is down there to determine what to plant. 1'd say 9-12 would give you complete coverage." Our intention was to beautify the area, not ruin vegetation or animal life as mention by a couple of neighbors. • Taxes: We also pay high property taxes. . Reputation: Out of all the comments mention by our neighbors, the ones that bother me the most are, � - "Obviously the Woodwards must be valued more than all their neighbors." - "It is a sham that they are using her families political connections to try to circumvent their zoning issues." - "They lied on their initial permit on cost— the fire places cost more than the original permit what makes anything she/they say trustworthy." 25 In response to these comments, I can personally say that I have earned my good reputation through hard work, educating others, and giving back to our community. I have NEVER used my name to get my way or sway an argument! We were brought up with integrity, kindness, and to always work for what we need or want. Once example from my childhood clearly demonstrates how we were brought up: In 7th grade, my picture was taken at the Washington Relays during a track event and it appeared in the newspaper. I really wanted a copy of the picture, so I asked my dad who was one of the family members running the Telegraph Herald at the time, to see "what he could do." My dad, simply said, "You are like everyone else, if you want the picture, go down to the TH and purchase one." Needless to say, I never got that picture, but I will NEVER forget the lesson I learned. This is how we were brought up and I am offended by comments stated above. Many others in the community would also disagree with these types of remarks, as seen through the many character reference letters at the end of this document. 26 The following character reference letters are being submitted in ABC order: 1.

Here in the United States we are constantly told to work hard, follow your dreams, and the sky's the limit. Kristin and Steve Vaassen embody this more than anyone in the Dubuque community and have dedicated their lives to improving the lives of everyone around them. Steve has been involved in the construction industry in the Dubuque area for a long time and is a true craftsman. He has built a wonderful life for his family here and is now trying to share his passion with the community. He is a dedicated, hard-working father who put the needs of others above his own. Kristin founded one of the most influential nonprofit organizations within Dubuque, that has expanded its reach across the country. Two by Two's main goal is to develop the character of Dubuque's citizens so they Care, Respect, and Appreciate everything around them. There is not a day that goes by that Kristin does not exemplify these in her life. Together Kristin and Steve want to make Dubuque a better place to live. A venue like the Annabel Lee Barn will do just that. It is not just a place where people can have wedding events, but also graduation parties, holiday gatherings for families, birthday parties, or people just looking to spend time away from home in a quiet area surrounded by nature. It will be a venue within the city of Dubuque that will create positive memories for so many for years to come. If you could see the venue for yourself, you would know immediately that it will have a positive impact on the community. Together this couple has created a warm welcoming environment and a venue built to provide people within and outside of the community a place to laugh, love, and care for each other. Like I mentioned above, we are lucky to have these two in the Dubuque community. Please know that Kristin and Steve have strong values and morals. They have big dreams for this community that we all should share and work hard to help develop Dubuque as a whole. Please contact me anytime with questions.

I could not ask for better people to be my friends and neighbors. They are two of the most hardworking and respectful people I know. Words to define good character are integrity, honesty, courage, loyalty, caring, respect and trustworthiness. These define Kristin and Steve in everything they do, their relationships with their friends, families, and neighbors. I'm so grateful to be their neighbor and value their friendship. I am also their closest neighbor, only about 450 feet away from the barn and I am in favor of rezoning this area to accommodate a venue for small gatherings.

At that time, she and her mother, Beverly Graves, had opened "Two by Two", a not for profit organization dedicated to raising children as thoughtful and caring human beings. We saw this as a program that would impact the rising number of cases of "bullying" amongst children and young adults; and long term, ease the increasing divisions within our community as a whole. Kristin and Steve have been good shepherds of the Woodward family tradition of giving back to the community. Her home has been used to promote her organizations growth and reach even outside the Dubuque area. One only has to speak to the teachers who willingly give time to "Two by Two" programs from a busy schedule, to understand the real impact Kristin and her staff have had on this community. There is no question in our minds that Kristin and Steve will use this re-zoned property correctly and be a credit to the city and the neighborhood that they live in. We endorse their request to re-zone this property. Sincerely, John and Margarete Cooke 33 December 26, 2019 Dear Zoning Advisory Commission, From the time you arrive in the gate you can feel the love that Kristin and Steve put into their property and really anything they do. Hello, my name is Alexandria Vaassen-Damian and I am the niece of Kristin and Steve Vaassen. My husband, Cory proposed in September of 2017 and we started looking for a venue that fit our vision. I immediately thought of my Aunt Kristin and Uncle Steve's house. However, since we live in Houston I was really trying to find a place in the Houston area because all of our friends and my husband's family are there, but none came close. My husband and I knew Kristin and Steve's house was the place. The perfect place for us to say "I do". When we talked to them about having our wedding at their house they said "absolutely!" When we told our friends in Houston that we were getting married in Dubuque, lowa their first response was "where is that!" We laughed and said you'll love it there! All of our groomsmen and bridesmaids flew to Dubuque and absolutely fell in love with the sceneries and even a year in a half after our wedding till this day they want to go back. Cory and I got married June 16, 2018 and at the time they did not have the barn on their land, but that didn't matter to us. The land itself is gorgeous and was everything my husband and I dreamed of. We got married on their front porch, and the reception was behind their house and enough land for us to put a tent up for about 100 guest. It was the perfect setting, for a perfect day. Thank you, Alexandria & Cory Damian 8007 Ecru Ln. Rosharon, TX 77583 34 December 29, 2019 To Whom It May Concern, I would like to address the character of Ms. Kristin Woodward Vaassen and Mr. Steve Vaassen. I have chosen my words carefully, to be truthful and precise; and to contribute valuable information for your decision-making process. I have known Kristin far 40 years. I am a huge fan and adinirer of her as a friend and community member. She has all the qualities you would find in a truly excellent human being: kindness, thoughtfulness, exemplary behavior, generosity, responsibility and so much more. She was raised in a family where she wouldn't have tq yet works with ineredible intensity, contributing time, talent and treasure to encourage and guide our children to be better people. She is also a top-performing and award-winning educator. I have observed Kristin up-close. When she takes on a challenge, she does it with near perfection. I have known Steve for five years. I consider him a good friend and also of excellent character. He, too, is a hard worker and of strong reputation. I would trust hiin-both of them-with my most valued possessions. He cares deeply about others and would help anyone in need. To think anyone would discredit their intent or diminish their reputation is beyond comprehension. I would challenge someone to provide proof of this nature. I have never seen this of either of them. I stand by this letter and thank you for the opportunity to share with you.

I had the honor of serving on the board of directors of Two by Two Character Development, a not for profit group started by Kristin to build the character of the youth. Through this connection I was able to get to know Kristin, her family members, friends and fellow board members. Kristin organizes many events which support Two by Two and they are always done with a high level of professionalism, class and respect for everyone involved. Kristin and her family are involved in many community based not for profit groups in the Tri- State area contributing both time and resources. I am the president of the Potosi Foundation and Kristin sponsored the National Research Library in the National Brewery Museum and annually supports a fund raiser we have for the Grant County Humane Society. The best indicator of how someone will act in the future is to look at the past. Any gatherings or activities held on this property would be done with respect for the neighborhood and the environment.

I have known Kristin Woodward-Vaassen for over twenty years in multiple capacities. My relationship with Kristin began when we both were working as educators at Sageville Elementary School. In the time we taught together, I was impressed by Kristin's empathy, creativity, and initiative she brought to her role. She was recognized as a Gold Star teacher in the state of lowa and received additional teaching awards in Arizona for her impact on the students and communities she worked within. We went on to build a friendship as our children played hockey together. Kristin became someone our entire family respected and appreciated for the care she brings to everything she does. My impressions of Kristin and the strength of our relationship led me to make a critical career decision— I took a risk and committed to working with Kristin as a member of the original Two by Two board. Despite the risk in working in any new venture, the passion Kristin has for her work and her sincere desire to better our community made Two by Two something I wanted and needed to be a part of. Fourteen years later, I could not be more proud of the growth we have achieved and look forward to many more years with the organization. We have been recognized with the 365 Community Impact Award for Education, as an Edison Award Nominee, and most importantly—we have impacted over 1,700 children on annual basis across the United States. None of this would have been feasible without Kristin's vision, commitment, and drive to establish kindness and a life-long moral compass in our children. I firmly believe that Kristin's character—at the foundation of her relationships and her work— is what will shine in her effort to continue to bring growth to the Dubuque community through her new venture. I am confident in her ability to successfully protect the social contract that exists in any neighborhood or community, while bringing a new opportunity to the area for small-scale events. Kristin at her core brings people together—whether it be lining up her class for lunch, starting a non-profit business, or supporting the community by providing a space for gathering. This is the spirit that she will continue to bring to Dubuque, and why I am lucky to know her. Thank you, BeccaJohnson 1480 Parkway Dubuque, lA 52001 38 December 27, 2019 Dear Zoning Advisory Commission, I have known Kristin Woodward-Vaassen for almost 50 years, since starting kindergarten together. Kristin has been a positive example for me, my wife and our children. Kristin is a role model by teaching others to be caring, respectful and appreciative of people, animals and the environment. She leads by example and has established Two by Two Character Development to educate children these principals she leads by. Anyone that has ever met Kristin and spent time getting to know her would tell you she is a wonderful person that cares about others first and foremost. Dubuque should be proud to call her a "Dubuquer", as she is a model citizen that other communities would be blessed to have. I have known Steve Vaassen for over 25 years. Steve is a kind-hearted person that always helps others. Steve is very talented and did a masterful job of rebuilding and restoring a 1907 barn, The Annabel Lee. The Annabel Lee Barn is amazing piece of history and should be made available for others to come and enjoy too. In summary, I highly recommend the Zoning Advisory Commission to consider Kristin and Steve's application and know that they will treat the responsibility with great pride and compassion and will not impose on others. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience. Sincerely, James (Jim) Kieffer 8056 Southern Hilis Circle Dubuque, IA 52003 (563) 580-9346 cell 39 � December 27, 2019 Dear Zoning Advisory Commission, I have known Kristin Woodward-Vaassen and Steve Vaassen for over 25 years. Kristin and Steve have been more than great friends they are like family to me. Kristin has taught our children the fundamentals of caring, being respectful and appreciative of people, animals and the environment. She leads by example and has established Two by Two Character i Development that has taught many children these principals she demonstrates. When meeting and spending time with Kristin you quickly see the gracious person, she is. Steve is a hardworking and dedicated gentleman. Steve's work on The Annabel Lee Barn is amazing and an artistic show piece. The atmosphere and hominess make this antique something to behold. Steve deserves an award for restoring and recycling something that is a piece of history for the entire state of lowa. In summary, I recommend the Zoning Advisory Commission to consider Kristin and Steve's application and hope you realize they will be great stewards of the facility and it will be a treasure for the city of Dubuque. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

At the time I was starting my own business and a friend recommended that I contact Kristin at Two by Two Character Development. I quickly became part of a growing nonprofit that aims to teach positive character traits to as many people it can reach. Kristin and Steve Vaassen are the driving force behind this. Kristin has a love for what she does, and it is contagious. Her positive attitude and caring nature are seen not only in how she relates to the children in the Two by Two program,but also how she interacts with her staff. She leads by example respecting and listening to those around her,and constantly encouraging new thoughts and ideas to make Two by Two a better place. Through it all Steve is ai her side doing the "grunY'work. I have never seen him not with a smile on his face. Kristin and Steve have developed such a positive,energetic work environment because of their empathetic nature and their drive. The staff and board members mirror this energy by challenging themselves to always do better. If there is an issue or a problem Kristin and Steve are the ones to figure out a solution. There is never any finger pointing. Issues are diuussed and resolved in a professional manner. I have many dients, but I enjoy my time at Two by Two the most. Kristin and Steve really do practice what they preach. I have learned so much from them. Everyday I take the respect and empathy that is bestowed on me and try to spread it to the other dients that I have. Small actions make big differences. If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them. My contact information is listed below.

I have personally known the applicants for over 20 years, during which they have always represented the best for our community. Their leadership and generosity have allowed our community to grow and prosper, while leading the character development of our community's youth through Two by Two. The property variance requested will provide d1e community an alternative venue for unique events in the most attracrive envirorunent of Catfish Creek. I'm certain that Steve and Kristen will manage the property to assure the usage does not conflict or have impact on the Timber Hyrst community. I respectfully request the Commission give flleir request for zoning variance careful consideration and approval. Sincerely, Jeffrey Mozena 1207 Grove Terrace Dubuque, Iowa 52001 563-581-8000 imozcilaC�premier6ankinQ.com 44 To Whom It May Concern, We write this letter to share support and express with confidence the good upstanding values of Kristin and Steve Vaassen. We understand that they are seeking approval to make their newly renovated Barn on their Manson Road property an available venue for the community to use for small gatherings. We have known the Vaassens for over 10 years and have worked with them on various projects and been a part of private celebrations that they have hosted at their Manson Road property, from their marriage celebration five years ago upon the completion of their home and just recently when they celebrated the renovation of the 1907 Barn that was restored and so carefully erected on their land. Kristin and Steve have done incredible things with this property that once housed a bunch of mobile homes to restoring the land to a single family dwelling and just recently painstakingly adding this incredible Barn that was taken down and piece by piece restored and given new life on their land, what an undertaking! Once the Barn was completed and after their celebration, it became obvious that the many guests saw the potential and need in the Dubuque community that this Barn could be an historic venue for intimate gathers! With so much support and encouragement by so many, the two of them decided they were willing to share this beautiful Barn for such events so others could have an incredible experience as well. So carefully nestled on their property, which is accessed only by a private drive,this Barn welcomes people to come and gather for a wedding, family reunion, corporate retreats and more. I Kristin and Steve are people of such high integrity and always strive to "do the right thing." They have � had so many people say to them, "You need to share this beautiful place with others!" With the encouragement of the community, that is what Kristin and Steve have decided to do, offer this beautifully restored Barn that is quietly located on their private property for others to enjoy for their event, their celebration, their gathering. We have both attended these celebratory events at the Vaassen's Manson Road property and there was plenty of parking and no noise issues at all. We doubt neighbors even knew they were happening. For the size of gatherings, they are offering to have at their Barn, their land offers plenty of parking and visibly does not cause a distraction to any neighbors nearby. We give them great credit for being so willing to share this beautiful Barn on their private property with � guests who meet their requirements to host an event at this Barn. Kristin and Steve are people who truly are an example of people who care for others and strive to do the I best for the community, as well as make a positive influence today and in the future. They are people with great integrity and have put so much of themselves literally into the care of their land at Manson Road and in every piece of barnwood that makes this 1907 earn what it is today. With Best Regards, Keith Rippe Chris Kohlmann 725 Ramona St. , Dubuque, lowa 52003 45 The Zoning Advisory Commission Dubuque, lowa December 29, 2019 Dear Sir or Madam: I am more than happy to write a letter of character reference for Steve and Kristin Vaassen. I have known Kristin for 19 years and Steve for the amount of time he entered Kristin's life. Our paths have crossed not only through friendship, but through employment, our ventures in education, and our children attending school together at Washington Elementary. In short, there is not a better couple in the city of Dubuque, who also has the best interest of the community of Dubuque in mind. I first met Kristin in 2001 when we began teaching at Bryant Elementary in Dubuque. Kristin was a 5�h grade teacher, and I was a first-grade teacher. I was a young teacher and greatly looked up to Kristin as an educator. I looked up greatly to the creativity, character and excitement that Kristin has in education. I am forever grateful for the time she took to share her knowledge with a young educator like me. Kristin and I both left Bryant at the same time. Kristin left to begin Two by Two Character Development and I left to become a stay at home mom. Kristin and I kept in touch through our new ventures. I was honored to work closely with Kristin in 2011 writing curriculum for Two by Two's Toolkit of Character. This venture led me to working for Kristin at Two by Two the following year as a part time educator. As I worked for Kristin, my respect for what she is doing, with Two by Two, only grew. During my time as an educator at Two by Two, I watched the compassion and passion that Kristin had for developing healthy students of character, in our town. This mission has grown to outside of our community, and into almost every state in our country. This was only possible by the careful and diligent work of Kristin. She has worked very hard to make sure it spreads in a correct and efficient manner. I know, from my experiences with Kristin, this is how she manages all areas of her life. I can truly say that the mission of Two by Two, to help develop responsible citizens of strong character who are for, respect and appreciate people, animals, and the environment, could be the mission of who Kristin and Steve Vaassen are as humans. Both of them are fiercely dedicated to the growth of positive relationships, businesses, and people of character in our community in Dubuque. Allowing the Vaassen's to rezone, would serve to grow our community in a great way. There is no better couple, of such strong character, honesty, and with such positive foresight for the benefit of our community. It is truly an honor for me to be asked, by this amazing couple, to write a letter for them. I would believe that any venture they expand into will be a venture of huge success and will be undertaken so well. Please feel free to contact me for any further information about this dynamic couple. Sincerely, Molly Schreiber Owner of Challenge To Change, Inc.

Rezoning of Steve and Kristin Vaassen's Property Susan Smith 17377 Humke Road Dubuque, lowa 52002 December 27, 2019 Dear Zoning Advisory Commission, Kristin Vaassen is a visionary leader in the classroom and within the educational community. Over the past twenty years, I have had the honor and privilege to work with Kristin. As a fellow educator in an elementary setting, Kristin put in the time and planning needed to reach as many students as she could. She followed through on curricular expectations and went above and 6eyond what was required. Her � j commitment to her students and fellow coileagues was one of her many strengths. There was never a doubt about her fulfilling her role as passionate and caring educator. As the founder and CEO of Two by Two, a character education curriculum, Kristin, researched, planned and accomplished her dream to reach more students. The Two by Two curriculum is utilized by educators throughout the country. Kristin's sense of obligation and engagement in all of her endeavors goes unmatched to any other person I know. Thus, rezoning the property belonging-!a Steve and Kristin Vaassen to commercial is an easy decision. Approve. Thanks for your time and consideration. Sincerely, . ..��(,�""- �� Susan Smith 48 � December 27, 2019 Michele Stacey/Kevin Pfohl 1878 Hummingbird Dr. Dubuque, la. 52002 Dear Zoning Advisory Commission, I am writing you in regards to The Annabel Lee Barn on property owned by Steve and Kristin Vaassen. I was invited and attended the gathering that they had late fall of this year. I was very impressed by the organization of the party both on the inside and the outside. We were also lucky enough to host a "practice party" there that was an amazing experience for all involved. The "practice party' that I hosted under Kristin and Steve was absolutely everything that I had hoped for and more. Kevin Pfohl (my finace') did the electrical work under Murphy Construction, which is how I was introduced to the Vaassen's and "The Barn". Steve and Kristin were very attentive as to making sure that we had everything that we needed inside and out. The contract that I received from Kristin prior to the party was very detail oriented and also included instructions on how to obtain insurance to make sure that we were both properly covered in case of an unforeseen situation. The Annabel Lee Barn owned by Steve and Kristin Vaassen would be an amazing venue to add to Dubuque. The hospitality is definitely second to none. We definitely need more owners who are as concerned with the outcome of the gathering instead of the dollar amounts gained because of the gathering. I would recommend Steve and Kristin to cohost any gathering that I would be contemplating having, including my upcoming 2021 wedding. Sincerely, Michele Stacey/Kevin Pfohl 49 December 26, 2019 Tony Theisen 2439 Spruce Wood Drive Dubuque, IA 52002 Re: The Dubuque Zoning Advisoiy Commission Dear Zoning Advisory Commission Members: It is with great pleasure that I recommend Kristin and Steve Vaassen to receive zoning approval for their property.

She is definitely a coinmunity leader and the founder and CEO ofTwo by Two Character Development. She leaves no detail unattended to and has an ambition to make this world a better place far current and future generations. I went to high school with Steve and he was always a team player and a highly dependable. He also has a wonderful eye for detail and is extreinely hard working.

Sincerely, �G�U�l��'�Cr��: Kirsten Weidemann 154 N Grandview Ave Dubnque,IA 5200] I 52 i To Whom It May Concern: I wish fo write in support of Kristin,Woodward Vaassen. I have kuown her in many capacities and can attest to her character across years,professions and relationships. As a teacher, Kristin was one of the stars of Dubuque Community Schools. Her creativity and love for her students was widely kuown throughout the district, during the time that I was a teacher as we1L She was always positive,personable and so genuine, and her work in the classroom was stellar. I was proud to collaborate with and learn from]ier whenever I could. When I went on to become an elementary school principal at Eisenhower School, she left the classroom Co realize her dreain as an advocate for character development in children. Together,with lier mother-another teacher icon in the Dubuque district-they created Kindhearted Kids, a curriculum of character,which would go on to become a vital program in al] elementary schools in the district. I am proud to say that we piloted this program at Eisenhower in iCs inception, 15 years ago,and I was also able to give firsC-hand witness to Knstin's continued passion, integriry, and creativity as she delivered diis progra�n with such skill to our eager 2nd graders. In the next few years, I became a board member to the non-profit Kristin created-Two by Two Character Development- dedicated to growing character in children. It was during those board meetings that I truly wimessed Kristin's compassion, humility, and deep desire to make a positive difference in the lives of Dubuque children, and I knew with no uncertainty, thaC her heart and inientions were pure. Afrer retiring from the district, I had no hesitation in saying yes to becoming a staff inember at Two by Two Character Development. Over the last four years of my einplo}anent there, I have often said to those who ask about my role -"This is such good and honest work and Kristin's excitement for developing character is so inspiring to be around." What a beautiful way for me to conCinue to give back and also help Kristin in her mission to grow character. As a boss, Kristin is fair, loving, and always sees the positive in everyone and in every situation. Her creativity la�ows no end, and I�er vision makes every idea a winner. We have grown quickly in the last number of years, creating character programs for schools,after school prograzns, and character resources for families. Any idea I have put before her becmnes so much better with her creativity, vision, and magica] touch. Our programming is currently in 20 states across the country and Ktistin takes such satisfaction in knowing that she is helping to grow character in other communities. I have such respect for Kristin,because I have seen her operate in good and in challenging times, and she has held her head up,kept her eye on the prize,and her integriry intact. And in everything she does,her intentions remain pure. And now,together with her beloved husband by her side, and a desire to create something for their family and others to enjoy, they dreamed about and created a beautiful bam space called Annabel Lee. True to forni, the barn goes well beyond average. IYs an extraordinary space dedicated to family celebrations and memorable moments. Just walking into this 100-year-old barn fills one with wonder andjoy,and it gives Kristin and Steve such delighC to share it with others. Whether I{ristin is the CEO of Two by Two Character Development or her husband's partner in this bam creation, one thing remains -her integriry and simple desire to create beautiful moinents for others. Because Kristin is who she is,she will approach this bam venture with the same thoughtfulness,honesty, creaCivity and integriry in which she is Imown for. Kristin and Steve are approachable and reasonable. They also have such empathy and compassion for others. Their desire is not to make anyone uncomfortable,but instead to work to gain trust and support through their ability to listen to and work with others. I have unending faith in their vision and decisions,because I have seen both of them in action. We teach our children in Kindhearted Kids to make good decisions using your head, your heart, and think about others. This simple, yet powerful staYement is the way I see Steve and Kristin living out their lives. I do not know another person so character-filled as Kristin,and together, she and Steve will do great things.

Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment provided that any subsequent development of the site, including provision of off- street parking area, conforms to current storm water management requirements. Adjacent Properties: The nearest residence is a farm house located approximately 300 feet from the subject property. The residences along Creek Wood Drive are approximately 800 to 1,000 feet away, are approximately 50 to 80 feet above the subject lot and partially screened by mature deciduous trees. CIP Investments: None proposed. Staff Analysis: The applicants are requesting to rezone approximately 5 acres of a 24- acre estate from R-1 Single-Family Residential district to C-3 General Commercial district enabling them to convert a 2,800 square foot barn that has been reconstructed on the site to an event center. In 2017, the Zoning Board of Adjustment granted a Special Exception for the barn as residentially zoned properties limit detached accessory structures to a maximum of 1,000 square feet. The applicants single-family home is also located on the acreage approximately 650 feet west of the barn. The applicants note that the barn would be used for wedding receptions, corporate events and other small gatherings of up to 125 people. Access to the property would be taken from the existing residential access drive connected to the west end of Manson Road. Motorists can access Manson Road from one of two routes, Kelly Lane/Old Mill Road or North Cascade RoadlCreek Wood Drive. Based on information from the Institute of Transportation Engineers trip generation manual, a single-family home can be expected to generate 9.55 average daily trips. Using this information the subjecf property can be expected to generate approximately 10 vehicle trips per day. If the property was to be developed as a typical residential subdivision in Dubuque, with YZ acre lots, 10 to 15 homes could be constructed generating between 95 and 145 vehicle trips per day. The number of additional vehicle trips generated by the businesses allowed in the C-3 district is highly variable. The applicanYs intent to operate an event center will generate additional vehicle trips, but establishing the volume of vehicle trips is problematic given - the difficulty in estimating the size and frequency of events that would be held on the premises. _._ _ . __ Rezoning Staff Report — 2319 Manson Road Page 3 � The C-3 district lists 53 principal permitted uses (attached) that include some relatively intense commercial uses such as convenience stores, bars/taverns, restaurants and contractor's shops. However, most of the permitted commercial uses are not likely to locate on the subject property because of its relatively remote location. Rezoning the subject property to C-3 General Commercial may generate additional noise, traffic and activity over that of residentially zoned property. However, the adjacent residential properties are well-removed and buffered by topography and mature vegetation. If approved, the lot would have to be split to separate the commercial and residential uses. In addition, the barn would have to meet all current Fire and Building safety and accessibility codes needed for a public facility and provide the required amount of paved off-street parking. Staff recommends the Commission review the criteria established in Chapter 9 of the Unified Development Code regarding granting a rezoning.

Motion carried by the following vote: Aye - Norton, Baumhover, Belmont and Christ; Nay— None. PUBLIC HEARING/REZONING: Application of Mehta, LLC, to rezone property located at 245 Railroad Avenue from LI Light Industrial zoning district to C-3 General Commercial zoning district. Eddie Severns stated that he is the owner of RF2 Furniture and was speaking on behalf of Sanjay Mehta, o�ner of the property a! 245 Railroad Avenue. He said his furniture business is currently located in the Historic Millwork District. He would like to relocate to 245 Railroad Avenue so he can expand the business. He said that it would give him an additional 2,000 square feet of retail space. He said that he had signed the lease but found out later that a furniture store was not permitted in the light industrial zoning district. Staff Member Wernimont outlined the staff report noting the subject property's location and the types of uses that exist on site and in the surrounding area. He said that the � request represents an expansion of the adjacent C-3 district. He said the rezoning will not create non-conformities on the existing lot. He said that staff perceives no problems regarding the rezoning and that there had been no input from adjacent property owners. Commissioners discussed the proposal noting that it represented an expansion of the C-3 district. Motion by Norton, seconded by Baumhover to approve the rezoning of 245 Railroad Avenue from LI Light Industrial to C-3 General Commercial. Motion carried by the following vote: Aye - Baumhover, Norton, Belmont and Christ; Nay— None. PUBLIC HEARING/REZONING: Application of Kristin and Steve Vaassen to rezone property located at 2319 Manson Road from R-1 Single-Family Residential zoning district to C-3 General Commercial zoning district. Vice Chair Christ noted that, as there are only four Commissioners present, the applicant will need a minimum of three positive votes to forward an affirmative recommendation to the City Council. Applicants Kristin and Steve Vaassen, 2319 Manson Road, discussed the packet of information they submitted to the Commission. They discussed the property history and the history of the historic barn that they said was purchased in Tipton, lowa and reassembled on their site. They noted that they received Zoning Board of Adjustment approval for the 2,800 square foot structure. They said that they had originally wanted to rezone the property to OC Office Commercial, but that city staff had recommended that they rezone to C-3 General Commercial. They discussed the need for the event venue stating that there was nothing in the local vicinity that offered the kind of assembly area they had created. They said that after the initial rezoning request, they withdrew and considered applying for a Condition Use Permit from the Zoning Board of Adjustment for an accessory dwelling unit. They said that they finally decided, with staff's input, to ask for C-3 zoning. Tne Vaassens said thai C-s seemed extreme for the kinds of uses that they proposed. They said that the term 'event center' is not accurate because event centers are usually much larger venues such as the Grand River Center and Five Flags. They said that an assembly hall would be a more accurate description of what they propose. They addressed neighbor's concerns regarding noise and traffic. They noted the letters of reference provided to the Commission in the packet of information. Peter Arling, 1744 Creek Wood Drive, said that he represented a number of neighbors in the Creek Wood Drive area. He referenced a petition signed by 77 neighbors opposed to the rezoning. He noied the packet of intormation aiso included additional letters and other materials. He discussed a brief history of the Vaassens' event venue project noting the initial rezoning request that was withdrawn, subsequent Conditional Use application and the current rezoning application. He said the Vaassens had reduced the area to be zoned so that fewer neighbors would be notified. He expressed concerns with the potential for noise generated by events that he said would be amplified throughout the valley. He said that there would be an increase in traffic. He said that the proposed use does not fit neatly into a residential neighborhood. �- Mr. Arling said that the initial Special Exception granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustment was to build a barn only as an accessory structure to the principle i residential use. He said that the minutes reflected that no commercial uses would occur in the barn. He said that the Vaassens moved ahead with their proposal and are asking for a rezoning after the fact. He referenced a portion of the Unified Development Code regarding the criteria established necessary for granting a rezoning. He said that it is contingent upon the applicant to demonstrate that the conditions in their area have materially changed so as to warrant a rezoning. He said that the property was AG I Agricultural and R-1 Single-Family Residential and it is still surrounded by R-1 zoning. He said that it appears to be an illegal spot zone. Kevin Crahan,1600 Manson Road, said he is opposed to the rezoning because of traffic concerns. He said that he felt this would especially endanger children in the neighborhood. He said that a commercial building is not appropriate in a residential area. Nathan Duccini, 1605 Manson Road, said that he agreed with the two previous � speakers adding that there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood. He said that the road is substandard in that it has a hill and blind curve. He said he was concerned that some of the people at the venue would consume alcohol and create an unsafe traffic situation. He said that Dubuque is not lacking for commercial spaces. Janet Faley, 1717 Creek Wood Drive, said that she agreed with the previous speakers. She said that she had an additional concern with noise as her property is only 300 feet from the property. She discussed decibel levels noting that at that distance the levels would be very high and disruptive to her property. Larry Vogt, 1750 Creek Wood Drive, said that the topography in the area is steep and his property overlooks the valley and the subject property. He said that the original function of the barn was to be for storage and a workshop. He said Creek Wood Drive is a narrow street and may even become busier when the highway is completed. He said that the event center will increase traffic volumes. Mark Sullivan, 1983 Creek Wood Drive, said that the event barn may not have an impact at his location but he is opposed to it because of the potential for additional traffic on Creek Wood Drive. He said that all the area residential properties have developed in an orderly fashion and that the intent of the R-1 zoning is to protect people's reasonable expectations. He said that C-3 zoning is too extreme for the residential area. He said that traffic safety is a concern. Jan Bahl, 2333 fVlanson �oad, said that the subject property used to be a trailer court that generated much more traffic than the event venue is likely to. She said when the Southwest Arterial is opened it will relieve a significant portion of the traffic that currently uses North Cascade Road and Kelly Lane. She said that the event venue will be positive for the area and will increase property values. She said that she is in favor of the proposal. Patty Herther, 1774 Creek Wood Drive, said that she was concerned with what may — occur within the commercial zone after the Vaassens left or sold the property. She said that traffic generated by the trailer park would come out as a trickle relative to the amount that would flow out of an event venue. Megan Eisel, 1887 Creek Wood Drive, expressed concerns with traffic volumes and the safety of children in the neighborhood. Bob Hartig, 1804 Creek Wood Drive, said that he was surprised that the project had gotten this far. He said that the barn was three times the size that had been approved at the Zoning Board of Adjustment. He said that he was a licensed architect and that, using relevant codes, had calculated that there could be upwards of 1,100 people in the barn space. He said that this would require up to 277 parking spaces. He said that the building structure was not designed to accommodate a commercial use. He said that the building would not be code compliant regarding fire safety and accessibility. He said that he was concerned with the noise that the venue would generate, its impact on the value of the property in the neighborhood, and that the building is not compliant with the original zoning approvals. Matt Horsfield, 1720 Creek Wood Drive, said that he opposed and he agreed with the concerns raised by the neighbors. He said noise is a primary concern because of the proximity of his residence to the barn. He said that he was used to a small amount of noise from adjacent properties but the event center would hold recurring events that would impact the value on his property. He said that he felt that 200 foot notification required by the City was not adequate and that it should be 1,000 feet. Tessa Fahey, 1722 Creek Wood Drive, said that she was opposed because of the noise that could be generated up until 11:00 p.m. She expressed concerns with traffic safety. Davin Curtis said that he spoke on behalf of the McCoys at 1834 Creek Wood Drive. He said that he agrees with the objections raised by the neighbors. He said that these included noise and the timing and volume of traffic. He said that if the Zoning Board of Aajustment would have known that the barn was going to be converted to commercial uses that the Special Exception would not have been approved. Rod Krapfl, 1632 Manson Road, said that he had lived in the neighborhood for quite some time. He said that he was opposed to the request expressing concerns with the traffic and noise. The Vaassens spoke to the neighbor's concerns. They said that they spoke with a Realtor and he felt the property values would remain stable and not be impacted by the proposed rezoning. I hey discussed the uses permitted in the C-3 district and said that they would just be operating an event center. Mrs. Vaassen said that the vision for use of the property could change and it could be redeveloped for more intense residential uses. The Vaassens stated that noise generated by the event venue would be muted by the surrounding timber, topography and the proximity of the adjacent properties. She said the timber would reduce the decibel level of activities at the event venue. She said � that they would gladly follow the city noise ordinance. She noted the surrounding land use saying there are restaurants and churches nearby. The Vaassens said that the capacity of the barn would be 125 people, not what was suggested by the neighbor. She said that trees were cleared in an effort to clean the property and they expect to replace them with appropriate vegetation. She said Creek Wood Drive is not a short cut heading to the proposed venue site and, according to Google Maps, traffic would come from the Kelly Lane area. She said that the barn is not currently up to code but they would follow the code review process to ensure that all city codes would be met. The Vaassens noted that the boundaries of the area to be rezoned had changed from the initial submittal because they decided to place the parking lot farther away from the property lines to the north. They said that this enabled them to reduce the area to be rezoned and to place the parking behind the barn, thus screening it from the adjacent residential properties. She said that when she spoke with neighbors in the past regarding their proposal, traffic had not been raised as a concern. Staff Member Hemenway outlined the staff report. He discussed notification standards and the series of applications submitted by the Vaassens. He said that notification was predicated on a hand drawn area map because the area to be rezoned did not follow parcel lines. He said that a 1,000 foot notification would not be advisable because in a standard rezoning hundreds of adjacent properties would be notified. He assured the Commission that if approved the barn would have to meet commercial building standards that included ADA accessibility, fire safety and parking requirements before a certificate of occupancy would be issued. He said that a site plan would also need to be submitted and reviewed. Staff Member Hemenway said that an event center is not listed in the Unified Development Code as a permitted use. He said staff tried to fit it into what was the most appropriate zoning that would enable the Vaassens to do all that they had proposed. He said that had included an event center with some retail sales and a bridal suite which would be hotel/motel style accommodation. He said that all the uses that the Vaassens proposed were listed as permitted in a C-3 district. He said that the OC uistric't required inai an assembiy haii or privaie ciub be granted a C;onditional Use Permit. He said that this would require another public hearing and notification of neighbors within 200 feet. He said that the Zoning Board of Adjustment approval for a 2,800 square foot structure was not based on gross floor area, but on the footprint of the building. He said that there are 54 uses listed as permitted in the C-3 District, some of which are relatively intense, and would not likely locate on the Vaassens property because of its remote location. He said that the Vaassens are asking to rezone approximately 5 acres of their 24 acre property. He said that the standard width of Manson Road varies and that the original plans for Tymber-Hurst subdivision showed Creek Wood Drive as a dead end. He noted that subsequent subdivisions of the property resulted in a connection to North Cascade Road. He said that it is difficult to judge how much traffic would be generated by any one use permitted in the C-3 District. He said traffic from the event center would probably be heaviest on weekends and holidays and would enter and exit almost at the same time. Commissioner Norton asked Staff Member Hemenway to define spot zoning. Staff Member Hemenway said an example of a spot zone is where a very small commercial use, like a neighborhood grocery store, is located on a small lot in close proximity to residential use. He said that he did not like the term spot zone because it is hard to quantify. He said that he feels the Zoning Advisory Commission's charge is to determine if the nature and intensity of the proposed land use is appropriate given the adjacent surrounding land uses. Commissioner Norton said that he felt the barn venue was a great concept, however, the C-3 zoning would be in place long-term. He said it does not matter how they define the event venue, all the C-3 uses would be permitted in the district. He said he does not feel that the use fits given the adjacent property. Vice Chairperson Christ said that she felt the uses permitted in the C-3 district were not appropriate at this location. Commissioner Baumhover said that he did not feel that a use of this intensity was appropriate at the subject location. Vice Chairperson Christ said that the barn has been beautifully restored, but that this kind of use did not fit given the surrounding land use. I Motion by Norton, seconded by Baumhover to approve the rezoning as submitted. Motion was denied by the following vote: Aye - None; Nay — Baumhover, Norton, Belmont and Christ. i ITEMS FROM PUBLIC: None.

Obviously,this causes a lot of concern amongst all of the neighbors. More concerning is the manner in which they are seeking the rezoning this time—specifically,cutting the amount of property they are seeking to rezone to preclude having to give notice to their neighbors. While the Vaassens told the neighbors they were not pursuing the event barn anymore, a number of us were suspicious. Accordingly,when the notice was published, it did not come as a surprise. While we have had less time to digest this most recent application,we have received strong support in opposition to the Second Rezoning Application. Attached, please find a Petition Objecting to the Vaassen Second Rezoning Application of Woodward Trust Property Located at 2319 Manson Road. This petition has been joined by seventy six(76) of the surrounding property owners. These neighbors are in all of the surrounding neighborhoods including, Manson Road, Miller Road, Old Mill Road, Kathy Drive, Heather Glen, Creek Wood Drive, and Cherry Ridge Court, 2mong others. A number of the attached "signature" pages also include additional comments or letters and one includes a picture (in color) showing how close this proposed commercial activity would be to our residential homes. Please submit this to the Zoning Advisory Commission and the Dubuque City CounciL To allow the proposed rezoni�g would be completely inappropriate in a residential neighborhood. A number of us are planning to attend these meetings to lodge out objections in person. If you need originals or additional copies of the attached, please advise. Due to the limited time we have had to get the word out, we will supplement at the meeting if we have more people "join" in the objection. Thank you. Sincerely, Peter D. Arling, J.D.

Kristin(Woodward)and Steve Vaassen(the"Applicants")have submitted another application to rezone a portion of the Woodward Trust Property from R-1 Singie-Family Residential to G3 General Commercial zoning district(the°Second Rezoning �. Application")to allow for an event center(hereinafter the"Event Center°). Based on records provided by the � Applicants to the City,the Event Center will have an anticipated capacity of up to 125 people and wlll be utilized for"small gatherings,mrporate events,and weddings°(the"Anticlpated Uses°). ' Initially,the undersigned note the Applicants previously submitted a Rezoning Request dated June 25,2019(the "Fiist Rezonin�Request°`wherein they sought to rezone roughly 8-10 acres of the Woodward Trust Property from R4 Single-Family Residential to OC O(fice Commercial zoning district. The first Rezoning Request prompted notice being sent to several adjacent owners,the vast majority of whom objected to the proposed rezoning. Prior to the hearing on the Flrst Rezoning Appiication,we understand ihe Applicants became aware of the significant opposition to the First Rezoning Application which prompted them to withdraw their request. Sze attached withdrawal notice from Mr.Kyle Kritz da[ed July 25,2019(the"Withdrawal RequesY'). Poilowing the Withdrawal Request,the Appiicants issued an invitation to many of the surrounding neighbors to meet with them{ihe"Meeting"). See attached copy oP the"You're invited... 6arn Open House°(the"Meeting Invitation`). In the Meeting Invitation,the Applicants s[ated that"after putting our feet in your shoes,we have decided not to pursue this avenue. We want to be respectful neigh6ors and maintain a peaceful neighborhood for all." The Second Rezoning Appiication was prepared in a manner that preduded the need[o provide any notice to any of the neighbors wha objected to the First Rezoning Application,inciuding those who attended the Meeting. Had the��2ighbors rct�eer�checking cn:he status uf ihis maiier wiiii ine City oi uubuque,ine Serond Rezoning Application would have been submltted wRhout notice and without any opportunity ro o6ject. The underslgned object to the Second Rezoning Application for a number of reasons,some of the more serious oF which are as folbws: : 1) Initially,the proposed Second Rezoning Application is directly contrary to what was requested and � � represented by the Applicants in August 20ll(Iess than two years ago)when they sought approval for a special exceptiun to buiid the"6arn"on the Woodward Trust Property for purposes of"storage and � possi6ly horses in the fu[ure". 2) The Woodward Trust Property is only accessed 6y Manson Road,which"dead ends"into the Woodward Trust Property. Manson Road Is a small two lane road[hat only outlets to Kelly Lane{Old Mlli Road or, � alternatively,Cree4 Wood Drive. Specifically, in regards to Manson Road and Creek Wood Drive,these are entirely residential-based streets and single-family neighborhoods with many young chiidren.The anticipated significaotly increased volume of traffic and the acmmpanying noise,odors and dangers make the Woodward Trust Property an Inappropriate location for tfie Event Center which will create dangerous �' increases in traffic in a residential environment. 3) The operation of the Event Center,and the noises and Increased traffic related thereto will have a detrimental effect on the surrounding property values. � i � i 4) The operation of the Event Ce�ter,and the noises and increased traffic related thereto will negatively impact the personal enjoyment and use of all their neighboring properties by the property owners(the -_ anticipated noise will likely preclude people from utilizing their personal outdoor spaces�. � S) Ail property other than the Woodward Trust Property in the area is zoned residential. 6) The property along Manson Road is zoned residen[ial. � 7) The property along Creek Nlood Drive is zoned residential. 8) If the Woodward Trust Property is rezoned to G3 General Commercial,It is not limited to only operation . as the Event Center. instead,it would allow many other uses that are incompatible with the surrounding residential uses induding, but not limited ro,the following, many of which 6ring even greaterconcerns related to traffic,noise,odors,and dangers that are wholly Inappropriate for a residential neighborhood: a. AgriculturalSuppiySales; b. Audltorium orAssembly Hall; c. 6akery(wholesale/commercial); d. Bank,savings and loan,or credit union; e. Bar or tavem; f. Car wash,full service or self-service; g.

" ADQITIONA!-CQMMEdVT9: December 17, 2019 City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission Subject: Rezoning request for 2319 Manson Road Earlier this year i purchased a new home in Timber Hyrst Estates because the area was zon�d for singie family reside�tial and agricuitural. I wanted a neighborhood of peaceful, country living. Pm certain neariy all families in this development chose to live here for the same reasons. Allowing the rezoning of the property on Manson Road wfouid desfroy the home properEy values in fhe areas oi Timber Hyrst, Table Mound and South Poinfe. As well as cause unrzcoverable harm to our neighborhood environments and local wildlife. The areas of Roekdale fioad, Old Miil Road, Keliy Lane, etc... don't have the necessary infrastructure to support the an event center of any size. The Woodward Family Trust property is surroundzd by homes on oider, narrow residentiai sfreets. The traffic congestion and noise levela would be unbearable, intolerable and lead to ever-increasing levels of crimz, noise, odors and dangers to the families living in the area.

Dubuque, IA 52001 Re: Steve & Kristin Vassen's Re-zoning Application i Dear Sir/Madam: � i We first met Kristin Woodward Vassen in the early 2000's. At that time, she and her � Mother, Beverly Graves, had opened "Two by Two", a not for profit organization dedicated to raising children as thoughtful and caring human beings. ! We saw this as a program that would impact the rising number of cases of "bullying" amongst children and young adults; and long term, ease the increasing divisions within our community as a whole. We have supported Kristin and Two byTwo ever since. Kristin and Steve have been good shepherds of the Woodward family tradition of giving back to the community. Her home has been used to promote her organizations growth and reach even outside the Dubuque area. One only has to speak to the teachers who willingly give time to "Two by Two" programs from a busy schedule, to understand the real impact Kristin and her Staff have had on this community. There is no question in our minds that Kristin and Steve will use this re-zoned property correctly and be a credit to the city and the neighborhood that they live in. We endorse their request to re-zone this property.

While Christie and I have the deepest respecT For Kristin and her husband and all they have done for tlie � community, we do have serious concervs about their application to rezone their parcel from R-1 residential to C-3 commercial in the middle of our residential area that we have invested a lot of our time and money in cultivating for our family for hopefully many years to come. Our primary concerns are of course increased traffic and party noise, but an equal concern is that once re-zoned, it is re-zoned as commercial forever regardless of the owner or use. Once re-zoned, a number of heavier commercial uses would be allowed without any fwther permission or notice or opportunity to object—like conh�actor shops, bars/taverns and convenience stores. The barn sought to be used as an event barn was constructed only recently under a limited, special exception approved by the board of adjustment in 2017 as only an accessory sta•age space and possibly for horses. What was actually built was more akin to a commercial event center with high-end finishes designed for public events, receptions, meetings and other social functions and assemblies for hundreds of people. We feel like the shucture erected does not meet the intent of the limited special exception and, fut�ther, does not meet the Unified Building Code requirements for a reclassification of zoning at this residential location, which is listed on the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as residential. We do not want any commercial uses in our neighborhood, and we are advised the best way to enswe this result is to file our objections with the City. We fully endorse and support the Zoning Advisory Commission's unanimous rejection of the rezoning application, and we join ow•mairy, many neighbors in objectiug to Yhe requested rezoning. I am willing and happy to discuss this and any other issues associated with the application in person, but I wanted I to make sw•e I reached out as I'm not sure our schedule will allow that to take place before the next public hearing.
