INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council approval of the Final Plat of
Felderman Subdivision. A resolution, plat, and staff report are attached.
DISCUSSION
The Final Plat of Felderman Subdivision subdivides an existing 10.2 acres site into 14
lots for single - family dwellings and provides for the construction of a new public street,
Arboretum Court. The preliminary plat for Felderman Subdivision was reviewed and
approved by the Zoning Advisory Commission at their February 3, 2010, and by the City
Council at their February 15, 2010 meeting. The City Council reviewed the preliminary
plat as the developers proposed a 27 -foot wide public street rather than the 31 -foot wide
standard residential street, which required a waiver from the City Council.
The submitted Final Plat of Felderman Subdivision is in substantial compliance with the
Unified Development Code, including meeting the 40 points required for sustainable
development. The developers have used a variety of sustainable subdivision
development tools to meet the criteria. The submitted Final Plat has been reviewed by
the City's Planning, Building, Water, Engineering, and Fire Departments, and found to
be in substantial compliance with the relevant City of Dubuque Codes. The public
improvement plans have been reviewed and approved by the Engineering Department.

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT OF FELDERMAN
SUBDIVISION IN THE CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA
Whereas, there has been filed with the City Clerk a Final Plat of Felderman
Subdivision in the City of Dubuque, Iowa; and
Whereas, upon said Final Plat appears a street to be known as Arboretum Court
(Lot A) together with certain public utility, storm sewer, easements, sanitary lift station

public utilities have not yet been completely constructed or installed.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DUBUQUE, IOWA:
Section 1. That the dedication of Arboretum Court (Lot A), sanitary lift station
(Lot B), and the easements for public utilities, sanitary and storm sewer as they appear

a manner acceptable to the City Engineer, and in accordance with
construction improvement plans approved by the City Engineer,
and inspected by the City Engineer.

Subdivision Staff Report — Arboretum Development, LLC Page 2
Comprehensive Plan Elements: Land Use and Urban Design Goals: 1.5, 1.8, 7.2 and
9.3. Environmental Quality Goals: 1.4., 1.5, 2.3, 2.5 and 5.8.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing City utilities can handle the proposed 14 -lot subdivision.
Traffic Patterns: The 14 single - family building lots will generate approximately 140
additional vehicle trips. Access to and from the proposed subdivision is by way of
Arboretum Drive.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the proposed
subdivision.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any significant impact to the environment
provided the sustainable measures proposed by the applicant are installed and
maintained appropriately, and that appropriate erosion control and storm water
control is provided throughout development of the subdivision.
Adjacent Properties: Planning staff anticipates the most likely impact to adjacent
property is an increase in vehicle trips traveling on Arboretum Drive.
Proposed Sustainable Development Tools: 27 -foot wide street (reduced impermeable
area), concrete street (reduced heat island affect), street trees, infill development, LED
street lights, infiltration of storm water in detention basin, greater than 40% of parcel
undisturbed, and rain gardens on over 50% of lots.
Recommended Conditions on Plat: None.
Staff Analysis: The Final Plat of Felderman Subdivision subdivides approximately 10
acres of property at the east of Arboretum Drive into 14 single - family lots. Three of the .
single - family Tots will have frontage on Arboretum Drive, while the remaining 11 building
lots will take their access from a new public street to be named Arboretum Court.
The proposed subdivision includes construction of a new public street to be named
Arboretum Court that will be built to a 27 -foot width with a 50 -foot right -of -way. The
street will be constructed with a concrete roadway and standard curb and gutter. A
majority of the proposed building lots are too low to access the existing sanitary sewer
main with gravity flow laterals. A lift station and force main will be necessary to serve
10 of the building lots; three lots can utilize gravity flow laterals, and one lot will need an
individual El pump. The lift station and force main will be built by the developer and
maintained by the City. City water is available to this site and will be extended through
Arboretum Court. The developer is providing for a storm water detention basin (Lot C)
Subdivision Staff Report — Arboretum Development, LLC Page 3 •
as part of Lot 8 and will provide the necessary access easements for the City to provide
long -term maintenance of the facility.
The Unified Development Code requires that each new subdivision utilize sustainable
development tools to achieve a minimum 40 point score. The developer has scored 40
points with a mixture of these tools. The developer looked at a variety of sustainable
development tools because the size, topography and subsoil characteristic presented a
challenge in meeting the new sustainability standards in the UDC.
The Final Plat of Felderman Subdivision will use these sustainability measures:
1. A 27 -foot wide street, which reduces the amount of impervious area of the
development (5 points).
2. A concrete street that reduces the heat island effect (5 points).
3. Planting street trees within the parkway between the sidewalk and back of curb
(5 points).
4. The proposed subdivision is located on an infill lot. The City Planner has
determined that it is an appropriate sustainability measure (5 points).
5. LED street lights will be used on Arboretum Court, with 50% energy savings and
twice the Iifespan. The City Engineer has determined this is an appropriate
sustainability measure (5 points).
6. Storm water will be allowed to infiltrate in the bottom of the detention basin. The
City Engineer has determined this is an appropriate sustainability measure (5
points).
7. 40% or more of the parcel will remain undisturbed after grading for the street,
utilities, and building lots. The City Planner has determined this is an appropriate
sustainability measure (5 points).
8. Rain gardens required by covenant installed on greater than 50% of the platted
lots (5 points).
TOTAL: 40 points
The submitted Final Plat of Felderman Subdivision is in substantial compliance with
Article 11 of the Unified Development Code and Planning staff recommends the City
Council approve the Final Plat as submitted.

excluding Lots A, B and C, and the City Manager shall certify such costs to the City
Clerk, who in turn shall promptly certify such costs to the Dubuque County Treasurer,
and such costs shall then be collected with and in the same manner as general

maintain permanent rain gardens in accordance with the subdivision improvement plans

Forester. Any trees planted within the street right -of -way must be chosen and planted

have been completed in accordance with the approved improvement plans and City
standards and specifications and accepted by City Council Resolution.
