Re~
Assisted Living Project (Temporary Access)
Removal of Planters
Harvest View Estates
On Tuesday, June 24, 2003, Harvest View Estates had an informal neighborhood meeting
in response to the rezoning of 10 acres adjacent to the N.W. Arterial. One of the
concerns of this meeting was the construction traffic needed to construct the possible
Assisted Living Project. I have contacted Bruce Crystal with the Iowa Department of
Transportation to request a temporary access directly from the N.W. Arterial during the
construction of this potential project. Mr. Crystal indicated that he needed the City of
Dubuque to accept this request before he could begin the paperwork. Therefore, I am
requesting from you, the approval of the City of Dubuque for me to have a temporary
access for the construction of the assisted Living Project (please see the attached
preliminary plat for approximate location). This access would have to be for one year.
Other concerns the neighbors expressed were the planters located at the entrance of
Matthew John Drive and Harvest View Drive. Their concerns included:
· The limited space from curb to curb. When there is any significant
amount of snowfall, this space is reduced even further
· No on-street parking available at the planter areas
· Difficult access in and out of the condo in front of the planters
Harvest View Estates is requesting permission to remove the planters and replace with
asphalt per the City of Dubuque specs, if necessary, per the approval of the City
Engineering Department.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (563) 582-5762, (563) 590-2173 or
