PUBLIC HEARING/REZONING: Application of the City of Dubuque to rezone one-acre
property located at 8113 Rt. 61 from County R-2 Single-Family Residential to City R-2
Two-Family Residential zoning district concurrent with annexation to the City of
Dubuque.
Staff Member Hemenway spoke on behalf of the City noting that the proposed rezoning
is being done in conjunction with annexation. He said that the rezoning would expand
an existing R-2 district and avoid a spot zone. He said that the annexation was
necessary to avoid creating an illegal island if the adjacent annexation is approved.
Commissioners discussed the proposal finding it appropriate.
Motion by Mulligan, seconded by Baumhover, to approve rezoning one acre of City
property located at 8113 Rt. 61 from County R-2 Single-Family Residential to City R-2
Two-Family Residential zoning district concurrent with annexation to the City of
Dubuque. Motion carried by the following vote: Aye — Norton, Baumhover, Mulligan,
Russell, Kemp, and Christ; Nay — none.
PUBLIC HEARING/REZONING: Application of Spiegel Family Realty Company lowa
LLC; Mike Weber, Weber Surveying LLC to rezone 7.05 acres and .60 acres of State
Property located East of Highway 61 and South of Cycle Club Lane from County R-2
Single-Family Residential to City R-2 Two-Family Residential zoning district concurrent
with annexation to the City of Dubuque.
Mike Weber, 26789 46 Avenue, said that he represented the Spiegel Family Realty. He
spoke in favor of the proposal noting it mirrors the zoning to the north. He said that this
property would create a secondary access for the area. He said the future use is
intended to be residential.
Staff Member Hemenway detailed the staff report. He said that the rezoning included
both the Spiegel Family Realty property and a .60-acre lot that belongs to the lowa
Department of Transportation. He said that, when developed, the City's subdivision
requirements regarding street access and stormwater management would apply to the
property. He said that water is already available to the site and that sanitary sewer
would most likely be added as the development progresses. He said that the subject
property would allow for a secondary access, utility extension, and contiguous growth.
Staff Member Hemenway noted that the rezoning was being requested in conjunction
with annexation which he said was necessary to avoid creating an illegal island if the
adjacent annexation is approved.
Motion by Norton, seconded by Russell, to approve the rezoning of 7.05 acres of
Spiegel Family Realty property and .60 acres of State of lowa property located east of
Highway 61 and northeast of Cycle Club Lane from County R-2 Single-Family
Residential to City R-2 Two-Family Residential zoning district concurrent with
