Dear Mayor and City Council Members: The City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission has reviewed the above-cited request. The application, staff report and related materials are attached for your review. Discussion The applicant spoke in favor of the request reviewing the proposed layout of 40 residential units, access to the units and anticipated price for the two and three bedroom homes. Staff reviewed the history of the Planned District. Staff noted that the City's Engineering and Fire Departments have reviewed the proposed layout and are supportive of the design. There was one public comment with concerns regarding traffic safety and on- street parking congestion. A letter of opposition was received and filed. The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, noting that each dwelling unit provides four off-street parking spaces, Tanzanite Ddve is built as a collector street and the proposed layout is a creative approach to affordable housing. Recommendation By a vote of 5 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve the request.

Eck Proposed Land Use: Existing Land Use: Adjacent Land Use: Flood Plain: No Water: Yes Storm Sewer: Yes Residential Vacant North - Residential East- Residential South - Residential West - Residential Proposed Zoning: PR Existing Zoning: PR Adjacent Zoning: North - R-1 East - R-1 South - PR West- County Business Total Area: 5.3 acres Existing Street Access: Yes Sanitary Sewer: Yes Previous Planned District: The subject property was originally zoned PUD Pianned Unit Development with a Planned Residential Designation in March 1999. Purpose: The proposed PUD amendment is to facilitate the development of forty new dwelling units. Property History: The subject property was used for agricultural purposes until it was rezoned in 1999 to allow for development of residential zoning units. Physical Characteristics: The property drains to the southwest with the high point of the property being near the northeast corner of the site. Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated in the Comprehensive Plan for multi-family residential development. Staff Analysis: Streets: The proposed PUD amendment does not include any changes to the existing street network. Tanzanite Drive and Sapphire Circle currently serve the subject property and are maintained by the City of Dubuque. Tanzanite Drive is Planned District Staff Report - 600 Block of Tanzanite Drive Page 2 designated as a collector street with 60-foot of right-of-way and 37 feet of paving, while Sapphire Circle is built to City residential street standards of 50-foot right-of- way and 31 feet of paving. Sidewalks: Sidewalks will be installed on all public streets as per City of Dubuque regulations. Sidewalks are installed as adjacent lots are developed. Parking: Off-street parking will be required as part of the development of each of the lots within the PUD district. Lighting: Lighting for each parcel will be regulated by established City of Dubuque Regulations. Signage: No change proposed. Bulk Regulations: The parcel proposed for development of the two-unit town homes is designated as Zone B. Development of property will either be according to the proposed conceptual layout or based on the R-3 Moderate Density Multi- Family District regulations. Permeable Area (%) & Location (Open Space): The individual lots were to comply with the R-3 standard of covering no more than 40% of the lot with structures. The smallest lots will still in fact only cover 33% of the lot with structures. Landscaping/Screening: None proposed. Phasing of development: None. Impact of Request on: Utilities: Existing. utilities are adequate to serve the proposed development. Traffic Patterns/Counts: Tanzanite Drive is classified as a collector street; however, there are no current traffic counts available. Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site. Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts to the environment provided adequate erosion control is provided during all phases of construction. Adjacent Properties: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts to adjacent properties as the proposed PUD amendment does not result in an increase in the number of potential dwelling units on the subject parcel. CIP Investments: None proposed. Planned District Staff Report- 600 Block of Tanzanite Drive Page 3 Staff Analysis: The applicant, Peter Eck, is proposing to amend the PUD for Emerald Acres No. 2 to facilitate the development of 40 new dwelling units. The applicant is requesting an amendment to allow development of dwelling units to be served utilizing a common driveway. The resulting interior lots for those units would not have frontage on a public or private street. The Planned Unit Development process does allow a developer to develop property in a manner more flexible than would be allowed under normal zoning district regulations. This subject property, while zoned Planned Residential, was governed by R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family District regulations. The proposed development would still comply with the density and setback requirements of the R-3 District. The developer has endeavored to limit the number of curb cuts on Tanzanite Drive by combining driveway access points between units. City Engineering has reviewed the submitted conceptual plan and does not object to the proposed number of curb cuts along Tanzanite Drive. Each dwelling unit will have a minimum of two off-street parking spaces as required by the City zoning ordinance. Storm water runoff from this development will be directed to the existing storm water detention basin that services the Emerald Acres subdivision currently. The draft of the amended PUD ordinance does include reference to the proposed layout of the submitted conceptual plan. In addition, however, the subject property will still be governed by the R-3 District regulations. The owner of the property, T-Corp, has requested that the property in question be able to be either developed under the submitted conceptual plan or under the R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential District standards in order to provide flexibility in meeting changing market conditions. Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review Section 3-5.5 of the Zoning Ordinance that establishes criteria for the review of Planned Unit Developments.

When we purchased our property one year ago we were told that the multi-family units in this subdivision would only be along Tanzanite Drive and not along Sapphire Circle. The proposed properties along Sapphire take away from the single family residential neighborhood. Also, the number of units proposed for this lot seems quite high. S~cerely, Dennis Fry Kristie Fry
