Call to Order
The meeting was called to order by Anna O'Shea at 10:05 a.m. The Smart Planning meeting for
August 10, 2011 was held at Swiss Valley Nature Center. Introductions were made. O'Shea
continued with a brief history of Dubuque County.
Approval of the Agenda
Ravada requested that the agenda be revised to add discussion regarding HUD Planning Grant.
Motion by Carstens, second by Michel to approve the revised August 10, 2011 Smart Planning
Consortium meeting agenda. Motion passed unanimously.
Review and approve the minutes from the Wednesday, July 13, 2011 Smart Planning
Consortium Meeting
It was noted that the meeting was held on July 13, 2011 at the City of Dyersville and Carstens
was not in attendance. It was also suggested that roll call list Dave Johnson as a proxy for Laura
Carstens.
Motion by Snyder, second by Lansing to approve the minutes for the Wednesday, July 13, 2011
Smart Planning Consortium meeting as amended. The motion passed with an abstention from
Carstens.
Discussion regarding the HUD Planning Grant
Ravada presented a brief description of the HUD Planning grant and the proposed budget. He
stated that after not being awarded the grant last year, staff has spoken with HUD regarding the
deficiencies of the application. It was noted that the concept of the application was good but it
lacked the public engagement process, therefore a three step process has been developed. The
three -step process would include a public engagement portion that would be conducted by the
Community Foundation and the Foundation will hire someone to work with the communities
within the county. The public engagement process will engage the public, create focus groups,
and educate and update the public. The next step of the plan would be the Comprehensive
portion which would be the development of Zoning and Building codes which would meet all of
the sustainable elements of the grant and address the two -mile radius issues. The last portion of
the application would address future growth. He stated that the grant proposal must include
performance measures that will track the long -term implementation of the project. He explained
that the City of Dubuque is currently collaborating with the University of Iowa School of Urban
2
and Regional Planning to develop performance metrics for its 11 sustainability principles. He
suggested that the Consortium work with the University Iowa to develop similar performance
metrics for the HUD proposal.
Discussion followed regarding developing a building code template that could be used and
modified, if needed, by each City and Dubuque County.
Ravada then reviewed the budget, noting that the budget is for a three year process. Michel
asked if the budget breakdown was based by population. Ravada said at this time it was evenly
divided by the number of cities but the Consortium could change the process and divide by
population. The total amount for the small cities would be $80,000 for three years or $3,333 per
city /per year.
Ravada stated that HUD asked after the planning process has been completed how and who will
make sure that the ideas developed in the grant would be followed through. He indicated that he
identified the Consortium as the regulatory body who would oversee and make sure that the
planning grant is followed through.
Discussion followed about the Consortium acting as the regulatory body. Michel noted that if
the Consortium is used as a regulatory body, then a 28E Agreement would need to be
established. Carstens stated that she felt that the Consortium should stay as an advisory body,
rather than a regulatory body. Michel agreed, but still suggested that a 28E Agreement should be
written which identifies the consortium as an Advisory Board. The consensus of the Consortium
is to act as an Advisory Board.
Ravada stated that the pre - application for the grant is due August 23, with the completed
application due on September 23. He noted that the notification of award approximately
February or March 2012.
Carstens stated that there is a community in North Caroline that had been awarded the HUD
Grant and she suggested the Consortium look at them as a model.
Discussion followed about building codes and developing support between the counties and
cities and possibly sharing resources, which would help with implementing the codes.
Discussion followed.
Carstens stated that historical preservation or cultural resources were not listed on the grant but
she noted that she would like to see them included in the Plan. She also thought design guides
using illustrations should be added to the Plan as well. She explained that using illustration
makes it simple and easy to the general public to understand.
O'Shea asked if each city would need to submit a letter of support. Ravada stated that he would
like to submit one letter which contains each cities /county match as well as their signature for a
show of commitment and support. Michel requested that the letter be written as a resolution so
that each city can present it to their council for approval.
3
Ravada noted that FTA, EPA and FHWA had asked about extending the boundaries of the Plan
to include Jo Daviess and Delaware counties. Ravada explained that last year that they received
a PSS status from HUD and if the boundaries would be extend the status would be lost.
Discussion followed regarding the difficulties that would occur if the boundaries were extend
across state boundaries due to the different laws in each state which govern historical
preservation, zoning, annexation etc.
Ravada asked if the Consortium was interested in inviting the state representatives to a meeting
to review the Plan. The consensus of the members was to invite state representative, Jeff Gertz,
to an upcoming meeting.
Discussion regarding the suggestions from the City of Dubuque's Long Range Planning
Advisory Commission
O'Shea presented a letter from the Long Range Planning Advisory Commission regarding
establishing maximum parking requirements. O'Shea went on to explain that after the Long
Range Planning Advisory Commission reviewed the Watershed Management Chapter they
suggested that Object 7.3 to be amended to include in the list of tools, "establish maximum
parking area requirements ". The Commission felt that establishing maximum parking
requirements would be an additional benefit to reducing impervious area for commercial
development.
Motion by Einwalter, second by Schmechel to amend Object 7.3 of the Watershed Chapter to
include "establish maximum parking area requirements" in the list of tools. The motion passed
unanimously.
Discussion on Community Data Chapter
Fox presented the additions to the Community Data Chapter for review. The additional data
includes the Population Forecast for 2040 for each city and the county as well as and Dubuque
County Historical Employment data. He stated that the migration trend indicated that the
population increased approximately 5 % over the past 10 years; therefore staff used the 5%
increase to project for future growth through 2040.
The Consortium reviewed the charts and made the following suggestions:
• Michel thought the Dyersville projections were to low and suggested that the staff look at
the Waste Water Treatment Study for a more accurate population count.
• Bonz thought Asbury's population growth was a little too high. She thought Asbury
would be more in the 6,000 range.
• Carstens suggested that staff speak to Greater Dubuque and the Sanitary
Sewer /Wastewater Facility Study regarding the population growth. She thought the chart
should reflect a larger increase in growth.
• It was requested the Fox send his methodology to all members.
4
Fox then reviewed the Dubuque County Historical Employment data. Michel suggested that Fox
compare data with the GDDC's data.
Discussion followed.
Discussion on Land Use Chapter
Fox presented the 2002 Dubuque County Future Land Use Map for review. He explained that
biggest part of the Land Use Chapter would to update the map. Fox indicated that for the next
meeting he would like to create criteria for updating the land use map as well as working on the
narrative portion, goals and objectives for the Land Use chapter. Fox asked if each city would
give him a copy of their most recent land use plan.
The Consortium made the following suggestions to the Dubuque county Land Use Map:
• Change the color scheme to be based on the APA standards
• Add flood plans across the counties
• Make sure all small cities are labeled correctly.
• Conservancy area be changed to read "flood plan" and change the color to blue
• Add institutions to the map
Discussion followed.
