City Office I_\ Dear Mayor and Council Members: We are opposed to zoning this property as commercial. The area should be residential zoning for the following reasons: This would be a continuation of the residential area to the west and south. City of Dubuque building lots are needed to slow the residential building in the county. Homes with families would be less of an impact on the traffic flow on the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road. The water shed would be considerably less thatlthat from paved parking lots. It just is good planning to be residential. Current commercial development and the proposed commercial development at Asbury Road and Northwest Arterial is too dense. What is the plan for traffic control? Please vote no to commercial zoning on this property. Also, I think it is wrong that the developer, QHQ Properties, has threatened the residents of Samantha Drive and denied them their right to speak. Sincerely, Mary Janice Giesler 2310 High Cloud Dr. Dubuque, IA 52002 Page 1 of 1 Jeanne Schneider From: <Jmjungbluth@aol.com> To: <patriciacline@mchsi.com>; <jconnors63@mchsi.com>; <jmarkham@cornerenergy.com>; <aem10@mchsi.com>; <danielenicholson@mchsi.com>; <jschneid@cityofdubuque.org> Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2003 7:41 PM Subject: Rezoning Issue at NW Arterial and Asbury Road We would like to further discuss the issue of QHQ's desire to have the property south of Asbury Road and west of the NW Arterial to be rezoned commercial, As was stated in the last e-mail to you, we are opposed to any rezoning of this land to commercial. The comprehensive plan indicates residential and has always indicated residential, even with a change to the plan regarding single family/ multifamily residential made in 2001. If the city thought it was necessary to change any part of it to commercial, it should have been done when the NW Arterial was constructed and before our house was built and certainly prior to the development of Samantha Drive. We don't see a valid need to have this rezoned. There is plenty of land already zoned commercial available to anyone needing commercial property. We believe QHQ has been deceitful in their method to get this rezoned. It is our understanding that when QHQ sold the land to Ken Moore Construction, Ken Moore was required to put into the property owners' covenants, a statement that they would not oppose any rezoning of that area. We also understand that these homeowners were told by their realtors and builder that it was planned residential so there was no need to worry about it. They are still being told that TODAY! A new homeowner whose house is under construction in this area had just been told last week that the plan is for R4 and not to worry about what will be developed behind him. Since he hasn't yet moved to Dubuque, he has been unaware of any of these rezoning issues until a neighbor notified him this week. It certainly appears that QHQ's rezoning plan started several years ago and we don't think their approach has been very ethical. Now, two days before the City Council meeting, QHQ (who is able to afford legal counsel) sent each homeowner on Samantha a letter threatening court intervention. We really don't know what that would ultimately mean, but we think personal legal threats seem pretty hostile in this particular situation. We purchased our property in good faith with the city's plan at that time, as did all of our neighbors, and we really don't think that the plan should change because of one man's desire to make money. The minimum negotiation that should even be considered would be one row of townhouses beyond Samantha, plus an additional section of large trees. Prior to making a decision whether or not to build there, the homeowner would know up front what the plan for development would be. He would not be misinformed. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
