RE: Establishment of the Grandview Avenue Parkway Demolition District Dear Mayor and City Council Members: INTRODUCTION The Historic Preservation Commission is requesting that the City Council approve the establishment of the Grandview Avenue Parkway Demolition District. A map and an ordinance are attached for your consideration. BACKGROUND The demolition districts were created to help protect architecturally and historically significant structures from being demolished. The Building Official cannot issue demolition permits in these areas without review by the Historic Preservation Commission and final approval by the City Council. Structures located in these demolition districts are not subject to a design review by the Historic Preservation Commission. The property owner may make exterior alterations to the structure. DISCUSSION The Historic Preservation Commission received a petition from property owners along the Grandview Avenue Parkway to create a demolition district. The proposed district encompasses the properties located on both sides of the Grandview Avenue Parkway from Delhi Street to Southern Avenue. The Historic Preservation Commission notified the 200 property owners in the proposed demolition district of a public meeting held on March 18, 2004. Attached are the meeting minutes and submitted petitions in favor and against the proposed demolition district. According to the attached petitions, 105 (52.5%) property owners are in favor, SeNke People Integrity R€'poru;ibility Innovation Temnwmk , Proposed Grandview Avenue Demolition District Page 2 34 (17%) property owners are in opposition and 61 (30.5%) property owners are undecided or could not be reached. The 1979 Kriviskey Architectural Survey identified 71 of the 296 (primary and secondary) structures located in the proposed demolition district as having architectural or historical significance. Out of the 71 identified significant buildings, 37 are owned by people in favor, 16 are owned by people in opposition and 18 are owned by people who were undecided or could not be reached. RECOMMENDATION The Historic Preservation Commission is recommending the establishment of the Grandview Avenue Parkway Demolition District. The Commission is basing the boundaries for this demolition district on the area requested by the property owners who submitted the petition. The Grandview Avenue Parkway is an architectural gem located in the City of Dubuque. One only needs to drive or walk along this parkway to witness the vast array of architectural styles. Creation of this demolition district will help protect these architecturally and historically significance properties. The Commission respectfully requests that the City Council adopt the amendment to the Demolition District Ordinance that would establish the Grandview Avenue Parkway Demolition District.

ITEMS FROM PUBLIC: Public Meetina .on Proposed Grandview Avenue Demolition District: Chairperson Wand notified people in attendance of the procedure for the public rneeting. He asked Tammy Pfab to be the first to speak because she is one of the people that originally brought the petition to the Historic Preservation Commission. Tammy Pfab, 235 N. Grandview, spoke in favor of the request. She discussed updates from the previous meeting in which she presented the original petition. Mrs. Pfab noted that she has received six more additional "yes. responses and five additional .no. responses. She indicated that currently, they have 44 people in opposition and 105 people in favor, and the rernaining people were undecided, unconcerned or unable to contact. She wanted the Historic Preservation Commission to address questions that Minutes - Historic Preservation Commission March 18, 2004 Page 4 were presented in a flyer that was distributed anonymously to the property owners in the proposed district. She also requested the right to have an opportunity to rebut the comments being made in the public meeting. John Herrig, 13750 Surrey Lane, noted that he owns property at 620 S. Grandview. He asked the Commission to clarify what a demolition district is, and how this proposal carne about.

He noted that the flyer indicated that the demolition district would help prevent the parkway from being removed. He noted that the parkway would not be reviewable by the Historic Preservation Commission, because demolition districts only pertain to structures that require a demolition permit. He then clarified the process and the Commission's role in reviewing demolition permits. He noted that the Comrnission only provides a recommendation to the City Council, and that final approval is granted by the City Council. He also addressed the issue regarding a property that has been burned. He noted that fire damage to a building would possibly require a demolition permit and may in fact have created so much darnage as to make a determination of not being architecturally historically significant anymore.

John Herrig, 13750 Surrey Lane, noted that he is opposed to the demolition district because he did not want his property owner rights limited. Terry Eckhart, 160 S.

She noted that there is review with building permits; however, that does not allow review for a demolition permit currently. She indicated that Grandview Avenue -----~->-~- --..,._- ---~,~ Minutes - Historic Preservation Commission March 18,2004 Page 5 has a high volume of traffic making it attractive to cornmercial businesses. She also noted that a flyer being placed on her doorstep on a Friday night was offensive because there was no name associated with it. Marvin Heiderscheit, 368 S.

Grandview, referred to a situation when the YMCA was discussing the possibility of purchasing her home for a driveway.

John Swanton, 186 N. Grandview, presented a petition to the Historic Preservation Commission that has 43 signatures in opposition to the proposed demolition district. He referred to the existing zoning and building requirernents that currently regulate property in the city of Dubuque.

She noted that what people do to their property also affects their neighbor's property and property values. Staff Member Wernimont noted that all of the information presented to the Historic Preservation Commission will be forwarded on to the City Council. He indicated that the minutes from this meeting will also be forwarded on, which will identify property owner's remarks. Chairperson Wand asked the Commission to present their views in regard to the proposed demolition district. Commissioner Stuart said that there seems to be a misconception as to what requires a demolition permit. He also noted that there may be no legal protection regarding the actual parkway itself, but it may have some political protection if the demolition district is presented. He noted that the proposed boundaries that are drawn up are reasonable. Commission Olson noted that the boundaries created were based on the Grandview Avenue parkway. Commissioner Mozena said that he understands both sides of the argument. He noted that the real emphasis is on the historic structures. in the neighborhood. He indicated that the proposed demolition district only opens up the dernolition permit for public conversation. Commissioner Gibbs noted that he is a steward to his property. He also said that people have their own private property rights and that they are important. Commissioner Coty said that he believes in the history of Dubuque and he moved frorn Chicago to Dubuque because of this. He referred to what the Downtown Dubuque used to be and all the loss of historic structures. He noted that the property owners are not notified of demolition directly; however, the demolition district process actually gives adjacent property owners the opportunity to provide public input into the demolition district process. He added that currently, all the property owner would have to do is pull a demolition permit and the building could be taken down without any notice-to anyone. Commissioner Loney Bichell noted that she agrees with both sides. She indicated that when people come to Dubuque or when visitors and friends of property owners corne to Dubuque, they take them to the historic areas of Dubuque, and not to the west end of town. She noted that planning now is for the future and to help save these properties for future generations to come. Chairperson Wand thanked everyone in attendance for their input. He went on to reiterate that the demolition district only allows further review of demolition permits. He indicated that there are around 60-75 properties that have been identified as .~.~_c._="--_w._---~w ,._~--~ --""-~ Minutes - Historic Preservation Commission March 18, 2004 Page 9 architecturally significant out of the 200+ properties, and that no garages have been identified as significant.

Motion was approved by the following vote: Aye - Olson, Mozena, Coty, Loney Bichell, Gibbs, Stuart and Wand; Nay - None.

Demolition District will be reviewed by the City Council. 1339 Alta Vista Street Dave Messner discussed his historic property at 1339 Alta Vista. He noted that he currently lives outside of the historic districts and that he would like to request Revolving Loan Funds in order to help restore the wood siding on his 1906 colonial home. Commissioner Mozena wanted to discuss possible funding for property owners that live outside of historic districts to restore their property. Staff Member Carstens noted that the revolving loan fund was created to help with the 700 structures located in the historic preservation districts. She noted that at one time, there was some discussion about extending the funding to landmark properties. Chairperson Wand noted there are limited funds for the properties located in existing historic districts. The Commission discussed creating funds for properties located outside of historic districts. The Commissioners also discussed they have concerns about giving funding to properties that are not regulated by the Historic Preservation Commission. The Commission discussed the possibility of allowing city landmarks the ability to take advantage of historic preservation incentives from the City. They indicated this will allow individual property owners outside of historic districts the possibility of having their property designated as a City landmark, and therefore, having access to City funds with review by the Historic Preservation Commission. Staff Member Wernimont reviewed the process for designating a property as a city landmark. The Commission discussed that they would like to have more information on city landmarks and the process at their next meeting. Motion by Wand, seconded by Olson, to recommend the City Council add city landmarks as an eligible property for all of the financial incentives administered by the Historic Preservation Cornrnission that are allowed in the Historic Districts. Motion was approved by the following vote: Aye - Olson, Mozena, Coty, Loney Bichell, Gibbs, Stuart and Wand; Nay - None.

In the demolition districts, the Historic Preservation Commission do not review exterior changes to the buildings. What is a Demolition Permit? A Demolition Permit is a building permit granting permission for the applicant to demolish a building. When do I need a Demolition Permit? You may need to obtain a Demolition Permit from the Building Services Department if you are proposing to demolish all or part of.a building or structure. How long does the application process take? The demolition review process usually takes approximately 30-60 days from date of full application to the Historic Preservation Commission. What criteria are considered when reviewing a Demolition Permit? The Commission must review all of the information submitted by the applicant and make a determination as to the folJowing: (1) Whether the building proposed for demolition has historic or architectural significance to the community; and (2) Whether denial of the proposed demolition permit would prevent the property owner from earning a reasonable economic retum on the property. If the Commission finds that denial of the application would prevent the property owner from eaming a reasonable economic return on the property, or that the building does not have any historical or architectural significance to the community, the CommissiorJ must recommend approval of the application.

Dear Neighbor: We are very fortunate to live on one of Dubuque's most beautiful streets, the Grandview Avenue Parkway. Our part of Grandview Avenue is the location of the famous Peony Trail sponsored by Mrs. E. B. Lyons, wife of the noted Dubuque businessman and conservationist. As you may be aware, some lovely older structures along Grandview Avenue have already been lost and new attempts have been made to lose even more. We wish to preserve the beauty and residential nature of this neighborhood by designating the Peony Trail portion of Grandview Avenue from Delhi Street to Southern Avenue as a Demolition District. This would include the trail itself and the properties on both sides of Grandview Avenue. What is a Demolition District? This is explained on the attached sheet. Basically, it means that in order to demolish a building you need to obtain a special permit. We feel this would be a great asset to our area and one of the few protective measures we can take to help preserve this unique historic area of our city. A meeting will be held to discuss this matter on Wednesday, January 28, at Washington Junior High School. We will meet in the cafeteria at 7 p.m. If you are unable to make the meeting please call us with your input. We hope you will support us in this endeavor. Thank you. Joan Belcastro 285 N.

As I look at the intersection of Grandview and Dodge Street, I could see how this part of the city would be attractive to commercial development and how the Grandview Avenue could be looked at as a traffic throughway to Highway 151. Such development in my opinion would adversely affect the neighborhood setting in which Washington Junior High currently exists. Therefore, speaking for myself as principal, I would support the concept of a demolition district for the properties that are along Grandview A venue as shown on the map of the proposed Grandview Avenue Demolition District. As I support this concept, I do understand that there could be instances when the need of the public good could outweigh the need to maintain the current properties as they exist along this section of Grandview Avenue. In those circumstances I would trust that the Commission would make its decision on whether a property should be demolished based on what is of the greatest benefit to the public.

Jeanne Schneider From: To: Sent: Subject: <Kieffer 70 R ose@wmconnect.com> <j schneid@cityofdubuque.org> Monday, May 10, 2004 8:41 AM (no subject) Dear Mr. Mayor, My name is Rosemary Kieffer and I live at 70 N. Grandview Avenue. I am against the "Grandview Avenue Demolition Districf' because: . It infringes on my rights to lawful determination of the use of my property. . This would be a duplication of statures already in place governing my property and all of Grandview Avenue. . Zoning laws and procedures now in effect work successfully. . Examples of this are the rezoning attempts at 1. Grandview Methodist Church 2. The property at Grandview and West 3rd Street Because of these above mentioned reasons, I am against the wasting of our tax dollars to implement an unneeded, duplicated statue. Thank you and I hope you will vote against the "Grandview Avenue Demolition Districf'. If you have any questions or concerns please call me at 556-5010. Rosemary L Kieffer 70 N. Grandview Avenue Dubuque IA 52001 5/10/2004 May 11,2004 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Dubuque Dubuque IA RE: Proposed Grandview Avenue Demolition District City Council Meeting, Monday, May 17, 2004 Dear Mr Mayor and City Council: I would like to request that you allow sufficient time for individuals to express their opposition to the above proposed demolition district. The above proposal is very significant and is opposed by over fifty percent of the property owners in this district as reflected on the petitions in opposition. However, many of these individuals are also concemed that this will be approved without their opinions being heard. Again, please allow sufficient time for individuals to be heard in regards to this very controversial subject. Thank you, / M~in K~cit 368 South Grandview Dubuque IA 52003 ? ...".. S; -< -- iÿ 0 .""

It stated in this letter that this proposal is an action item and it is at the discretion of the Mayor and the City Council as to whether or not to allow public input. I would like to formally request that public input is allowed at this meeting. My wife, Sheila Vierkant, and I, Erich Vierkant, are against this Demolition District proposal. We feel that there have been some nrisconceptions that have been presented to the people that live on Grandview during the process of collecting signatures for a petition for Demolition District. It was presented at the Historical Preservation Commission by Tammy Pfab that she understood that the median, which is part of the Park Commission, would be protected by this Demolition District. Itwould not! The pennit process for demolition applies only to buildings or part of buildings. Everyone wishing to demolish a building or part of a building would have to apply for a pennit and it would be determined if there was any historical or architectural significance before the building was recommended for or against demolition. It was indicated that there would be advance notice by the Historical Preservation Commission or the Planning Services Department when someone applied for a pennit to demolish a building or part of a building. It would not provide any formal notice! The reality of this district that it really doesn't protect anything ITom demolition. It merely puts the property in question into a process that might prevent you from demolishing a building and building a new one. It adds cost to the demolishing process; the cost of the permit, the cost of a licensed engineer or architect to attempt to justify demolition, up to a 90 day delay waiting for recommendation, and the personal cost of disclosing private information such as the remaining balance of a mortgage or income tax bracket. A group of Grandview residents have been collecting signatures against the Demolition proposal and we feel there is more than enough on this petition to demonstrate that there is a strong opinion against the proposal. These will be presented to the City Council by one of our group. We have lived at this address for 30 years and have seen Finley Hospital take over the neighborhood surrounding the hospital. We understand the fears of the people in favor of the Demolition District. We feel that Demolition District does not provide the protection that people think it does. We believe the CUITent zoning laws provide protection against businesses ITom building in our residential neighborhood. This demolition proposal will only add to costs and regulations. I would appreciate a response so I know you have received this e-mail and, again, I would ask that you allow input concerning this issue at the City Council meeting Monday night, May 17. 5/11/2004 HUGHES & TRANNEL, P.C.

SPLINTER TELEPHONE (563) 557-7360 FAX No. (563) 557-1018 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Ci~ Hall 13 & Central Avenue Dubuque, IA 52001 Dear Mayor Duggan and Councilpersons: I have received a notice of the plan to place our property within a proposed "Grandview Avenue Demolition District". I have reviewed the Demolition Pennit Ordinance, and I do not find that the Demolition District is really any different or significantly different ftom an Historic District. Once our property is placed within this district, there are restrictions and restraints that would be put upon our property's use and right to UBe our property as an owner should be pennitted. I have visited with the City Building Department and with the Planning Department, and I do not believe that there is a clear, complete, absolute definition as to what would constitute a "demolition permit" requirement. Since that definition is not clear, and since it is not clear as to just what conduct would be subject to the tenns of this Ordinance, I feel that it would be open to arbitrary interpretations ftom time to time and that would affect the marketability of property located in the district. Please do not place our property within the "Grandview Avenue Demolition District" boundaries and please do not adopt an Ordinance establishing that Demolition District. I would welcome an opportunity to express my position to the Council at the time this matter is presented to the Council; but I recognize that it is scheduled as an action item and is at the discretion of the Mayor as to whether or not to allow public input, but if public input is allowed, I would like to be heard. u:;.
