property located at 1865 Radford Road from LI Light Industrial zoning district to OC
Office Commercial zoning district.
Scott Kwiecinski, 5201 E. Terrace Suite 300 Madison, WI 53718, represented the
applicant. He noted that Horizon Development has constructed multiple multi-family
developments in Dubuque. He said they propose to construct a 44-unit senior housing
development targeting 30-60% median Income as well as market rate apartments. He
said they are looking to start construction in the spring of 2021.
Commissioner Baumhover asked why this location was chosen. Mr. Kwiecinski noted
that their current properties are at capacity. He said that most of the demand is toward
the west end. He also noted that a housing development is planned by another
company adjacent to the subject property and that there is a nearby school which may
provide some grandparent-grandchild interaction.

Staff Member Wally Wernimont detailed the staff report noting the property is a flag lot,
that the rezoning constitutes an expansion of an existing zone, that Radford Road could
handle the increased vehicle trips and that a site plan would be required to be
submitted, reviewed, and approved prior to construction.
Commissioner Russell asked whether there would be a shared access with the adjacent
property. Staff Member Wernimont said that they would not have shared access and
that there would be two separate driveways.
The Commission discussed the proposal, finding it appropriate.
Motion by Belmont, seconded by Russell to approve the rezoning. Motion carried by
the following vote: Aye - Baumhover, Belmont, Russell, Kemp, Loeffelholz and Christ;
Nay— None.
