Dear Laura:
This is in reference to our discussion on Dubuque's building permit moratorium within
the Highway 20 corridor. I would like to ask the city to extend the moratorium for an additional
year in the area Iowa DOT will require for our approach to the new Mississippi River Bridge on
Highway 20. A map of the footprint is attached. Hopefully at the end of the year Iowa DOT will
have a better idea of when we will be able to move forward with land purchases in this area.
.
At this time we have no interest in extending the moratorium beyond this area westward
to Devon Drive.
Should you have questions, please contact me at the above address, or telephone me at
(319) 875-8739.
Respectfully,
~;/ / ///

MEMORANDUM
March 28, 2000
TO:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager ~
Extension of Highway 20 Moratorium
FROM:
SUBJECT:
INTRODUCTION
This memo transmits a request from the Iowa Department of Transportation (lDOT) for the
City to extend the building permit moratorium on Highway 20, in connection with the U.S.
Mississippi River Crossing Study. A resolution and map are attached.
DISCUSSION
On May 4, 1998, the City Council established a six month moratorium for Highway 20 from
Bluff Street to Cherokee Drive/Collins Street, for completion of the Highway 20 Land Use Plan
for this area.
On April 19, 1999, the City Council extended the moratorium to May 1, 2000, and expanded
the area of the moratorium to include Highway 20 east from Bluff Street to the city limits. This
extension in time and expansion of area were requested by the IDOT for the U.S. 20
Mississippi River Crossing Study.
At this time, the lOOT has concluded that the moratorium for Highway 20 from Bluff Street to
Cherokee Drive/Collins Street is no longer needed. The lOOT has requested that the City
extend the moratorium for Highway 20 from Bluff Street east to the City limits for another
twelve months, to reduce impacts in the study area. The lOOT has provided a map of the
moratorium area for the U.S. 20 Study.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council extend the building permit moratorium for Highway 20 from
Bluff Street east to the city limits for 12 months, as requested by the IDOT in connection with
the U.S. 20 Mississippi River Crossing Study. I further recommend that the City Council allow
the moratorium for Highway 20 from Bluff Street to Cherokee Drive/Collins Street expire. With
approval of the attached resolution and map, the City Council will extend the moratorium from
Bluff Street east to the city limits until May 1, 2001.
