RE: Rezoning - U.S. Highway 20, Southwest of Westside Court (referred by City Council)
C-3 General Commercial District and CS Commercial Service and Wholesale District to PUD
Planned Unit Development District, with a PC Planned Commercial designation to allow for
development of a new Menard's store
Menard, Inc.
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 proposed intersection changes at Old
Highway Road, U.S. Highway 20 and the quarry entrance and the new four-way intersection
that will serve the new Menard's store. The applicant's engineer reviewed the impact of the
changes to vehicles traveling on U.S. Highway 20 and trucks entering and exiting the quarry.
Staff responded to Commissioners questions regarding proposed changes to U.S. Highway 20
and responsibility for installation of signals. Rod Tschiggfrie and Mike Hoffman, representing
the adjacent quarries, spoke in support of the truck-activated signal at Old Highway Road, as it
would increase the safety of trucks entering the highway. Representatives of the Dubuque
County Fair Association spoke in support of the Menard's proposal, provided the high volume of
traffic during fair week is taken into consideration with intersection design changes.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, noting that the changes proposed by
Menard's will improve traffic flow through this area. The Commission supported providing
protection for quarry trucks entering U.S. 20 for both left and right turns.
Recommendation
Bya vote of 6 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve
the request.
A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.
Respectfully submitted,

MEMORANDUM
November 30,2000
TO: Zoning Advisory Commission
FROM: Kyle L. Kritz, Associate Planner ~t r:
SUBJECT: Menard, Inc. (referral by City Council)
INTRODUCTION
The City Council, after reconsidering their vote to deny the PUD rezoning request by
Menard, Inc. along U.S. 20, voted to refer the matter back to the Zoning Advisory
Commission. The proposed relocated signal and Old Highway Road intersection for the
Menard's store, and the installation of a trip light for the quarry, was viewed as a
material change to Menard's request, thus necessitating further review by the Zoning
Advisory Commission. Attached to this memorandum is a copy of the revised traffic
impact analysis, a schematic of the proposed new intersection of Old Highway Road and
U.S. 20, a memo from Public Works Director Mike Koch, a revised conceptual plan that
indicates the new entrance into the Menard's site, and previously supplied materials
including the staff report and PUD ordinance.
DISCUSSION
The Zoning Advisory Commission reviewed Menard, Inc. 's original request for rezoning
to a PUD Planned Unit Development district with PC Planned Commercial designation at
the June 7,2000 meeting. The Commission recommended approval of the request on a
7-0 vote. The Commission approved the proposed project in light of the anticipated
improvements to U.S. Highway 20, and because the applicant had worked with lOOT
and City officials to accommodate a future frontage road that would serve the site after
U.S. 20 work was completed. The Commission stated their belief that unless the City
wanted to stop all development in this corridor for the next seven to ten years, the
submitted project represented an adequate compromise.
At the City Council public hearing of October 2,2000, several people spoke with
concerns regarding the impact of the proposed development, both on traffic utilizing
U.S. 20 as well as traffic entering and leaving the highway at existing access points,
including River City Quarry and Riley's Oldsmobile, Mazda and Subaru dealership. At
that meeting, Menard's proposed the relocation of the existing traffic signal at U.S. 20
and Old Highway Road to their proposed entrance. The City Council directed the
.
Menard, Inc.
November 30,2000
Page 2
applicant to revise the traffic impact analysis, to clarify several uncertainties in the data
noted by Council members and address issues raised by surrounding businesses, and to
not increase the number of signals on U.S. 20.
The attached traffic study provides information on the levels of service obtained by a
relocated intersection of U.S. 20 and Old Highway Road. It also describes the impact of
having a truck-activated signal at the current intersection of U.S. 20 and the quarry.
The study presents two alternatives for the existing Old Highway Road's intersection
with U.S. 20, one being a right-in/right-out, the other being a cul-de-sac. The
memorandum from Mike Koch, Public Works Director, provides an overview of the
impact the proposed changes will have on U.S. Highway 20 and Old Highway Road.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the enclosed
information. Since the proposed changes constitute a material change in Menard's PUD
proposal, staff recommends that the Commission make a new recommendation to the
City Council.

Menard, Inc. Development - Revised Traffic Study Dated October 30, 2000
FROM:
SUBJECT:
INTRODUCTION
The following is a summary of the revised traffic impact analysis for the proposed
Menard's development along US 20 west. The traffic analysis was performed by WHKS &
Co., and it predicts the anticipated traffic volumes for an opening in the Year 2001.
DISCUSSION
The analysis includes 161,640 square foot home improvement superstore and a 10,000
square foot high-traffic business. The report estimates the traffic generated by the
proposed development, evaluates the traffic conditions after full build-out, and
recommends site design improvements necessary to accommodate the anticipated traffic.
Volumes generated by the proposed development during the PM peak hour are estimated
to be 283 vehicles entering the site, and 179 for the AM peak hour.
Access to the site has been modified from the earlier plan, which was dated May 31,
2000. Access to the site originally was to be via a single-access point onto US 20 at a
signalized intersection.
In order to mitigate the capacity impact on US 20 of another traffic signal, the new
concept suggests the reconstruction of the intersection of Old Highway Road and new US
20, to reduce delay time at this intersection. The redesign shifts a portion of the cross
traffic at this intersection to a new street segment linking Old Highway Road directly
across from the proposed Menard's entrance onto US 20. This would create a four-way
intersection in front of Menard's, instead of the original three-way intersection. Access
from Old Highway Road to existing US 20 would be a right-in/right-out access only, with
special design considerations to prohibit wrong-way median cross-overs. A raised median
is proposed to prohibit the SB to EB movements from Old Highway Road, which will
improve operational efficiency and safety. This reconstruction is shown on the attachment
to this memo.

Menard, Inc. Development - Revised Traffic Study Dated October 30, 2000
Page 2
December 1, 2000
RECONFIGURED INTERSECTION OF OLD HIGHWAY ROAD AND US 20
The existing intersection of Old Highway Road and US 20 at the Quarry currently operates
at a Level of Service (LOS) C for EB and WB US 20 traffic, LOS C for northbound Quarry
traffic, and LOS C for southbound Old Highway Road traffic. Overall, the intersection
operates at an LOS of B.
With the geometric changes at this intersection, a significant amount of traffic will be
shifted out of this intersection and redirected to the new route directly in front of Menards.
After the reconfiguration, the traffic signals on Old Highway Road and US 20 would remain
green at all times until activated by a vehicle coming out of the Quarry Road onto US 20.
At such a time, traffic on US 20 would be required to stop to allow the trucks from the
Quarry to safely enter into the high-speed flow of US 20 in either an easterly or westerly
direction. This intersection in the future should operate at a Level of Service A for US 20
during the PM peak, and a Level of Service A as a whole for all approaches. The Quarry
Road should operate at a LOS of C.
INTERSECTION OF US 20 AT PROPOSED MENARD'S ENTRANCE
The new connecting link from the Old Highway Road and the proposed Menard's entrance
would be a three-lane facility. This four-way intersection at US 20 would operate at a
Level of Service C for US 20 during the PM peak. The intersection would operate at a
Level of Service C during the PM peak as a whole for all approaches.
NEW INTERSECTION OF EXTENDED MENARD'S DRIVE AND OLD HIGHWAY ROAD
This intersection would be a three-way traditional T -intersection with channelization by
raised medians. No operational or capacity problems are anticipated at this intersection
which would operate at a Level of Service A for all three approaches. A diagram of this
intersection, as well as the entire site plan, is also attached.
SUMMARY
The future concept for US 20 is a fully-access controlled facility, with only grade-separated
structures. In keeping with that concept, the proposed signalized intersection in front of
Menard's would be removed and access to Menard's would be via an overpass structure
across US 20 and a system of frontage roads.
Given the anticipated levels of traffic for the Menard's store, a traffic signal is a necessity
at US 20 in order to avoid unacceptable traffic delays and a likely high rate of accidents.
Future plans for US 20 call for this signal to be removed and the Menard's entrance would
then become part of an overpass and frontage road system. The timeframe for these Iowa
Department of Transportation improvements is, however, unknown at this time.

.
The impact on traffic flow and properties between the existing US 20 / Old Highway Road intersection and the
proposed intersection would be minor. Less than one mile would be added to EB US 20 trips originating near
the existing US 20/ Old Highway Road intersection. Approximately eleven residences and two commercial
sites would be affected by the intersection configuration.
Figure 5-1: Old Highway Road Right-in Right-out
.
.
5.5.1.1 Right-in, Right-out
Access between Old Highway Road and US 20
would be limited to right-in from westbound (WB)
US 20 and right-out onto WB US 20. The geometries
of the reconfigured intersection would decrease the
likelihood that vehicles would try to use the right-out
movement to make an illegal left turn onto eastbound
(EB) US 20. In addition, in the event that EB US 20
traffic would misinterpret the US 20 median opening
as an opportunity to make a left turn, the large
grassed space between the right-in and right-out
roadways would indicate that there is not a receiving
roadway to complete the turn. A "Left Turn
Prohibited" sign would be installed for EB US 20
traffic at this intersection.

Property History: The property has been used for agricultural production for many
years.
Physical Characteristics: The subject parcel is west of Westside Court and is currently
above the grade of U.S. Highway 20. If approved, the site will be significantly regraded
to create a level building pad. There is flood plain on the southeast side of the parcel
behind the proposed development; however, this will not be encroached on by either
the grading or construction of the new store.
Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: The subject parcel is included in Growth
Area 19, which states is, "primarily commercial development with controlled access and
. gateway design. n
.
.
.
Adjacent Properties: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts to adjacent
properties.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: Menard's Inc. is requesting rezoning of the subject parcel from C-3
General Commercial to PUD Planned Unit Development with a PC Planned
Commercial District designation. The proposed Menard's store would replace the
existing store at U.S. Highway 20 and Menard Court. The new Menard's store would
be a larger one than the present store and would be on one level. The proposed
development is typical for Menard's new stores, in terms of its layout of the store,
outside yard area and the number of parking spaces. The proposed development also
includes an outlot along the east side of the store.
The rezoning of the site to planned unit development is necessary as the Zoning
Ordinance requires that department stores of 60,000 square or more, be located in
planned commercial districts rather than in the C-3 General Commercial district. The
new Menard's will include 102,693 square feet of sales area with an additional 42,900
square feet of heated warehouse area. The conceptual development plan also
provides a signage package for the Menard's store. The planned unit development
ordinance attached to this staff report has been written to accommodate the Menard's
signage package as requested.
City sanitary sewer and water mains are accessible to the site. The City's South Fork
Interceptor sewer runs along the back property line of the parcel. The City has a 16"
water main within the right-ot-way ot U. S. Highway 20. The applicant has indicated
provision of storm water detention on the site as per City of Dubuque requirements.
Access to the site will be by a single new access drive to both east and west bound
lanes ot U.S. highway 20. The volume and speed of traffic on U.S. Highway 20
requires that a signal be installed as part of Menard's development to provide for the
safe ingress and egress of traffic from the site. Public Works Director Mike Koch has
provided a memo outlining his department's review of the submitted traffic study by
Menard's.
The subject site is within the Corridor Preservation Zone established by the lOOT in
Mach, 2000. Menard's Inc. has been working with lOOT representatives and their
consultants to insure that development of this site will not adversely impact future DOT
plans for the improvement of U.S. Highway 20. I anticipate that I will receive
correspondence from Bob Krause from the lOOT prior to the June 7 Commission
meeting, and will forward any information I receive to the Commission.
Staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review Section 3-5.5(F) that
establishes plan approval standards for PUD applications.

1 Introduction and Summary
1
1.1 Purpose of Report and Study Objectives
A traffic study was completed for Menard, Inc., entitled "Traffic Analysis for New Menard, Inc. Development,"
dated May 31, 2000, that concluded a traffic signal was required on US 20 to provide access to the proposed
Menard, Inc. development. The City of Dubuque objected to adding a traffic signal on US 20 and will not
rezone the Menard, Inc. property until this issue is resolved.
The purpose of this report is to present the City of Dubuque with access concepts for the proposed Menard,
Inc. development that resolve this issue. This study interprets the goal of no additional traffic signals on US 20
to also mean no net increase of traffic signals on US 20. In other words, this study will consider removing
an existing traffic signal and adding a new traffic signal as fulfillment of the goal.
The report describes the existing traffic conditions, estimates the traffic generated by the proposed
development and evaluates the operation of the traffic system after full build-out.
1.2 Executive Summary
1.2.1 Site Location
The proposed Menard, Inc. development is situated on the south side of US 20 in the City of Dubuque city
limits. The proposed development is a relocation I expansion of the existing Menard, Inc. store, located in the
northeast quadrant of the US 20 - Menard Court intersection. The existing store is approximately one mile
east of the proposed site.
1.2.2 Development Description
Figure 1-1 : Vicinity Map
Menard, Inc. is planning to
develop a 26.25 acre site
for the relocation of their
Dubuque, Iowa home
improvement superstore.
The planned development
includes a 161,640 square
foot Home Improvement
Superstore and 10,000
square foot out-parcel. The
land use for the out-parcel
is not determined, but will
be defined as a High
Turnover (Sit-Down
Restaurant) for trip
generation purposes. The
new facility is estimated to
open in 2001. Access to
US 20 is addressed in this
report.
1.2.3 Access Concepts
Menard, Inc. has worked with the City of Dubuque and the Iowa Department of Transportation to develop site
access concepts that require no net increase of traffic signals on US 20. Five (5) access concepts are
presented.
WHKS & co.
2
1.2.4 Recommendations and Conclusions
An access concept exists that will serve the Menard, Inc. development with no net increase of traffic
signals. The proposed signalized Intersection at US 20 I Old Highway Road Connection I Proposed Menard
Entrance can serve the AM, PM and Menard peak traffic volumes at or better than level of service (LOS) C for
US 20 through movements and LOS D for the turning movements into and out of the proposed entrances and
sideroads. The capacity and LOS of the existing US 20 I Old Highway Road I Quarry Entrance intersection
changes with this recommendation. The delay experienced by the exiting quarry traffic is unchanged during
the AM peak, increased by approximately 20-seconds during the weekend peak, increased by approximately
30-seconds during the PM peak. The WB US 20 delays are reduced and the EB US 20 delays are eliminated.
2 Proposed Development
2.1 Off-site Development
The proposed development is on the west edge of the existing commercial development within the city limits.
Other developments are anticipated within the Study Area, especially along Seippel Road.
2.2 Description of On-site Development
2.2.1 land Use and Intensity
The 26.25 acre site will be fully utilized, but will be limited by:
. the South Fork of Catfish Creek floodplain 01J the south side of the property,
. US 20 Corridor Preservation (see section 3.3.3 Existing Relevant Transportation System Management
Programs).
A 161,640 square feet Menard, Inc. home improvement superstore and a 10,000 square feet out-parcel are
the main components of the proposed development. It is assumed that the proposed development will
typically maintain long hours each day of the week. The current Menard, Inc. operation keeps the following
hours:
. Monday 7:00am - 1 0:00pm
. Tuesday 7:00am - 1 0:00pm
. Wednesday 7:00am - 1 0:00pm
. Thursday 7:00am - 1 0:00pm
. Friday 7:00am - 1 0:00pm
. Saturday 7:00am - 9:00pm
. Sunday 8:00am - 7:00pm
2.2.2 location
The proposed Menard, Inc. site is situated on the south side of US 20 within the City of Dubuque.

2.2.3 Site Plan
The major
components of the
26.25 acres site plan
are a 161,640 square
foot home
improvement super-
store with 420 parking
spaces, a 3 acre out-
parcel (for a 10,000
square feet
development), a
3.25 acre outside
yard I shipping and
receiving area and a
detention pond. The
remainder of the site is
made up of a
floodplain and fill
embankments. The
development fronts on
1000' of US 20 Right-
of-Way. The
proposed entrance
location and
configuration, shown
on the site plan below,
may be revised.
2.2.4 Phasing and
Timing
The new home
improvement super-
store is estimated to
open in 2001. The site
development may be
phased to
accommodate the out-
parcel construction
schedule. This study
assumes full build-
out in the design
year.
3. 1 Study Area
The proposed Menard, Inc. development site is located on US 20, approximately one mile west of the existing
MonaI'd. Inc. facility, at Menard Court. The proposed development is on the west edge of the existing
commorcial development within the city limits.
WHKS & CO.
4
There is a signalized intersection with Old Highway Road and numerous median openings for left turning traffic
east of the proposed development, between the proposed development and the intersection with IA 32 (the
Northwest Arterial). No entrances are located on the segment of US 20 from the IA 32 intersection east to the
Menard Court IUS 20 intersection. An unsignalized intersection with Seippel Road is located approximately
0.6 miles west of the proposed development. West of the proposed site, the land adjacent to US 20 is
cultivated, but will probably be developed as commercial property in the future.
Most of the traffic generated by the proposed development originates east of the existing store location, and
will approach the site as westbound traffic on US 20, turning left into the site. The traffic will pass through the
signalized intersections at Old Highway Road, IA 32, and Menard Court, primarily as through traffic.
3.2 Study Area Land Use
3.2.1 Existing Land Uses
The existing land use of the site is agricultural. The adjoining properties to the north, south and west are all
agricultural. From the proposed development east to the US 20 intersection with IA 32 (the Northwest
Arterial), the properties adjacent to US 20 are primarily strip commercial. Generally, the proposed Menard,
Inc. development represents the western limit of the concentrated commercial development along the US 20
corridor in Dubuque.
3.2.2 Anticipated Future Development
With the development of Seippel Road, other developments are anticipated within the Study Area. However,
no known future developments will substantially impact the development of this site.
3.3 Site Accessibility
3.3.1 Area Roadway System
The Menard, Inc. site fronts on US 20. At this location, US 20 is a divided four lane facility with at - grade
access. The posted speed limit is 55 mph. A dirt field entrance currently serves the site at an unpaved
median crossover. The nearest entrance to the east is approximately 1,000 feet from the proposed entrance.
A field entrance is located approximately 525 feet west of the proposed entrance.
There are no roadways other than US 20 that serve the site. The US 20 intersections near the site are shown
in the following table.

3.3.2 Traffic Volumes and Conditions
The lOOT 1997 traffic counts can be utilized in this study without the need for additional traffic counts at the
site, per discussions with the City of Dubuque. The lOOT 1997 US 20 traffic counts for the segment of US 20
from Old Highway Road to Seippel Road are given in the following table:

5:00 PM 551 865
The 1997 US 20 annual average daily traffic (MDT) is 16,800 vehicles per day at the proposed site.
The IDOT 1997 8-hour manual traffic counts, see Appendix C, are converted to an MDT using an expansion
fadors developed by the lOOT. The IDOT developed the expansion factors by correlating the 8-hour manual
traffic counts to their MDT's for similar roadways.
.
3.3.2.1 Determination of Quarry Entrance AADT from Manual Traffic Count Data
On June 17, 1997 the IDOT conducted an 8-hour manual traffic count at the intersection of US 20 and Old
Highway Road I Rock Quarry Entrance. 283 vehicles were counted between the hours of 7am to 11am and
2pm to 6pm. 209 of the vehicles counted were trucks, the remainder, 74, were passenger cars, vans or
pick-up trucks.
The IDOT has developed conversion factors to estimate the MDT volume from the total vehicles counted
during an 8-hour traffic count. The conversion factors have been developed to consider the traffic variations
that occur during a particular day of the week and a particular month of the year. The count at the quarry
entrance was taken on June 17, 1997, a Tuesday. The 1997 IDOT Municipal Primary Composite Expansion
Factor for a Tuesday in June is 1.749 (See Appendix D). Therefore, the 1997 MDT for the quarry entrance
can be estimated by multiplying the 283 vehicles counted during the a-hour manual count by the expansion
factor 1.749, which equals 495 vehicles per day (vpd).
3.3.2.2 Determination of Quarry Entrance Annual Average Daily Truck Traffic from Quarry Owner
The quarry owner provided additional traffic information to characterize the quarry traffic differently. On
average the quarry moves 175,000 tons of quarry product per year, resulting in 9,500 to 10,000 truckloads per
year (See Appendix G). Each truckload generates two truck-trips, one outbound and one inbound, resulting in
19,000 to 20,000 truck-trips on average per year. The quarry does most of its business during the 9 months of
March through November, or approximately 200 working days (Monday - Friday). 20,000 truck-trips divided
by 200 working days equals 100 truck-trips per day. This estimate is high if the quarry is in operation more
than Monday through Friday, March through November.
.
The IDOT 1997 a-hour traffic count on June 17, 1997 at the quarry entrance counted 209 trucks between the
hours of 7am-11 am and 2pm-6pm. Applying the 1.749 expansion factor to this portion of the total traffic
results In 366 truck-trips per day. This number can be directly compared to the 100 truck-trips per day derived
above. The annual average daily quarry truck-trips estimated by the IDOT method is nearly four times the
quarry's estimate. The comparison supports the conclusion that the quarry experiences short-term high-peak
truck traffic volumes and long-term low-peak truck traffic volumes.

3.3.3 Existing Relevant Transportation System Management Programs
The I DOT has identified a corridor to be
preserved along US 20, from Swiss Valley
Road (approximately 7 miles west of the
proposed development) to Old Highway
Road (0.5 miles east of the proposed
development) for future US 20 widening and
capacity improvements. The IDOT reserves
the right to review developments within the
corridor and to acquire Right-of-Way for
future US 20 capacity improvements.

4.1 Site Traffic
US 20 corridor preservation affects this
site. The concept for the US 20 capacity
improvements, and the basis for the corridor
preservation limits, is to improve US 20 to a
limited access facility with frontage roads. It
is anticipated that the entrance to Menard,
Inc. in the future will be off a frontage road.
4.1.1 Trip Generation
Trip generation was performed using the ITE Trip Generation, f!' Edition. The proposed development site
contains two trip generators; a home improvement superstore and an out-parcel. To analyze the trips
generated at full build-out, the land use for the out-parcel was assumed to be a high turnover (sit-down)
restaurant. Gross square footage was the dependent variable to determine trips generated by each. The
peak hour volumes generated by the combination of these two trip generators are listed in the table below:

4.1.2 Trip Distribution and Assignment
It is assumed that the traffic entering and exiting the proposed development would be distributed 90%
on the east leg of US 20 and 10% on the west leg. This assumption is based on 1997 US 20 traffic
volumes, w,hich increases east and decreases west of the proposed site. Supporting this assumption is the
fact that th~ current population density is sharply lower west of the proposed site.
ASensitivity analysis for an 80% /20% split was performed in the Traffic Impact Analysis for New Menard, Inc.
Development dated May 31, 2000. This analysis showed insignificant change in the analysis results, and
supports the 90% /10% split used in these analyses.

4.2 Through Traffic
.
4.2.1 Method of Projection
The opening year for this development is anticipated to be 2001. To project the 1997 traffic volumes to
2001 the traffic growth rate method was used.
The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (DMA TS) was consulted to determine the traffic growth
rate used in their model near the proposed development. DMATS recommended using the projected 2005
MDT (20,500) and the 1997 lOOT MDT (16,800) to develop the MDT growth rate. (The MDT growth rate
and the peak hourly volume growth rate are assumed to be similar.) By this method, the MDT growth rate is
estimated to be 11 % from 1997 to 2001. The following table presents the projected traffic counts for the
design year 2001 :

4.2.2 Through Traffic vs. Captured Traffic
A portion of the 2001 projected traffic on US 20 will pass by the proposed development while others will be
captured by (or will visit) the proposed development before they continue on US 20. One percent (1%) of the
2001 projected US 20 volumes is assumed to be captured by the proposed development.

5 Traffic Analysis
The following access concepts were developed to meet the goal of no net increase of traffic signals on
US 20. All of the concepts that were developed since the May 31, 2000 traffic study are presented here,
whether they are viable or not viable.
5.1 Concept #1
The first concept provides access to the proposed Menard development via a frontage road along US 20 from
existing Old Highway Road. The frontage road would be approximately 2000' in length and would require
widening the US 20 median 24-feet (total width 27 -feet) to accommodate dual left tums. This concept would
use an existing traffic signal to provide access to the proposed development.
This concept was deemed not viable due to the number of commercial properties affected by Right-of-Way
acquisition, both east and west of Old Highway Road, and due to the uncertainty of the improvements being
compatible with the ultimate US 20 capacity improvements.
5.2 Concept #2
The second concept provides access to the proposed Menard development via an unsignalized intersection on
US 20. The construction of the out-parcel would be delayed, to reduce traffic generated by the site, until the
frontage road along US 20 was developed.
This concept was deemed not viable because the traffic generated by the home improvement superstore by
itself warrants a traffic signal.
5.3 Concept #3
The third concept provides access to the proposed Menard development via an unsignalized intersection on
US 20 without the left tum movement (onto WB US 20) from the development. The low volume left tum exit
movement would be forced to make a right tum onto EB US 20 and u-turn at the existing Old Highway Road
intersection.
This concept was deemed not viable because the high volume WB US 20 left tum movement across EB
US 20 by itself warrants a traffic signal. Additionally, a hazard would be created at the Old Highway Road
intersection since no refuge is afforded by the 3-feet wide median to u-turning traffic.
5.4 Concept #4
The fourth concept provides two unsignalized at-grade entrances to the proposed development off US 20, one
at the east end of the development, one at the west end. The east entrance would prohibit left-out movements
and the west entrance would prohibit left-in movements.
This concept was deemed not viable because, just like Concept #3, the high volume WB US 20 left tum
movement across EB US 20 by itself warrants a traffic signal.
5.5 Concept #5
This concept removes the temporary signal at the existing US 20 I Old Highway Road I Quarry Entrance and
relocates it to a new intersection on US 20 with Old Highway Road Connection I Menard Entrance with no net
increase of traffic signals on US 20.
5.5.1 Reconfigured US 20 I Old Highway Road Intersection
Two intersection reconfigurations are presented for the existing US 20 I Old Highway Road intersection,
incorporating comments from City of Dubuque Staff and City Council. Neither of the reconfigurations affect the
quarry's access to US 20. All of the major movements between US 20 and existing Old Highway Road that
are eliminated in these reconfigurations would be served by the proposed signalized intersection at US 20 I
Old Highway Road Connection I Menard Entrance.
WHKS & CO.
.
.
.
9
The impact on traffic flow and properties between the existing US 20 I Old Highway Road intersection and the
proposed intersection would be minor. Less than one mile would be added to EB US 20 trips originating near
the existing US 20 I Old Highway Road intersection. Approximately eleven residences and two commercial
sites would be affected by the intersection configuration.
5.5.1.1 Right-in, Right-out
Access between Old Highway Road and US 20
would be limited to right-in from westbound (WB)
US 20 and right-out onto WB US 20. The geometries
of the reconfigured intersection would decrease the
likelihood that vehicles would try to use the right-out
movement to make an illegal left turn onto eastbound
(EB) US 20. In addition, in the event that EB US 20
traffic would misinterpret the US 20 median opening
as an opportunity to make a left turn, the large
grassed space between the right-in and right-out
roadways would indicate that there is not a receiving
roadway to complete the tum. A "Left Turn
Prohibited" sign would be installed for EB US 20
traffic at this intersection.
5.5. 1.2 Cul-De-Sac
Access between Old Highway Road and US 20
would be eliminated at the existing intersection. A
50' radius cul-de-sac would be constructed, utilizing
as much existing pavement as possible, to permit
large vehicles to turn around. In the event that EB
US 20 traffic would misinterpret the US 20 median
opening as an opportunity to make a left turn, the
large grassed space between the cul-de-sac and
US 20 would indicate that there is not a receiving
roadway to complete the turn. A "Left Turn
Prohibited" sign would be installed for EB US 20
traffic at this intersection.
5.5.2 Existing Temporary Traffic Signal
The existing traffic signal at the Old Highway Road I Quarry Entrance I US 20 intersection was installed in
February, 1996. The signal warrant analysis performed by the lOOT in 1994 indicated that the intersection
met the following warants:
Old Hiahwav Road I Quarrv Entrance I US 20
Warrant 2 - Interruption of Continuous Traffic
Warrant 9 - Four Hour Volumes
Warrant 11 - Peak Hour Volume
These warrants were satisfied only by traffic volumes on US 20 and Old Highway Road. Neither the quarry
entrance volumes nor accident history caused any signal warrants to be satisfied.
The 1001. recommended the installation of traffic signals in addition to construction of left-turn lanes on US 20.
. At tf1Btllme a US 20 modernization project (PI N 90-31-050) from Swiss Valley Road to Devon Drive was in the
lOOT 5-year plan. The lOOT decided to install temporary signals until the US 20 modernization project
WHKS & CO.
10
completed the median improvements, installation of left-turn lanes and a permanent traffic signal. Since that
time, the US 20 modernization project has been cancelled in favor of the Southwest Arterial and US 20
Capacity Improvement projects, which are currently in the environmental assessment phase.

Figure 5-1 : Existing Temporary Signal at Old Highway Road I Quarry Entrance
(Looking Southeast toward Quarry Entrance)
The IDOT analysis of the intersection showed that Warrant 6 - Accident Experience was not met at this
intersection. Warrant 6 - Accident Experience requires "fIVe or more reported accidents, of types susceptible
to correction by traffic signal control, have occurred within a 12-month period" to satisfy the warrant. From
1989 to 1996, prior to the installation of the temporary signal, there were on average 4.8 accidents per year.
Removing the accidents not susceptible to correction by traffic signal control (those involving only one vehicle
and rear-end accidents) approximately 3.1 accidents per year were susceptible to correction by a traffic signal.
The majority of all accidents (13 out of 29) between 1989 and 1996 were caused by left-turning traffic out of
Old Highway Road onto eastbound US 20. Only two accidents between 1989 and 1996 appear to be related to
quarry activity (data taken from IDOT PC-ALAS and ACCESS-ALAS database, See Appendix E and
Appendix F).
Since the temporary traffic signal was installed, from 1996 to 1998, there have been 4.0 accidents per year on
average. All of these accidents appear to be rear-end accidents on US 20 caused by stopped or slowing
traffic at the signal. None of the accidents involving trucks during this period appear to be related to quarry
activity.
5.5.3 Signal Warrant Analysis
To determine if no net increase of traffic signals on US 20 is attainable with Concept #5 a signal warrant
analysis was performed at the Old Highway Road Connection I Menard Entrance intersection and at the
reconfigured US 20 I Quarry Entrance intersection. The FHWA's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) outlines eleven warrants for traffic signal installation. The traffic signal warrant analyses satisfied
the following warrants:
Old Hiahwav Road Connection I Menard Entrance
Warrant 1 - Minimum Vehicular Volume
Warrant 2 - Interruption of Continuous Traffic
Warrant 9 - Four Hour Volumes
Warrant 11 - Peak Hour Volume
Reconfigured US 20 I Quarry Entrance
No warrants satisfied
The satisfaction of one warrant alone indicates that an investigation of traffic safety improvements offered by a
traffic signal at the Old Highway Road Connection I Menard Entrance is needed. Also, the satisfaction of no
warrants at the Existing Old Highway Road I Quarry Entrance indicates that a traffic signal should not be
considered at this intersection.
WHKS & CO.

.
The evaluation of traffic safety improvements offered by a traffic signal at the Old Highway Road Connection I
Menard Entrance intersection and the evaluation of the unsignalized Existing Old Highway Road I Quarry
Entrance intersection follows in the next section.
5.5.4 Capacity and level of Service Analysis
The measures of intersection performance are capacity (the maximum traffic that can be accommodated by
lane groups) and level of service (LOS, the ability to meet the peak traffic demand). The techniques and
procedures used to compute capacity and LOS are outlined in the Transportation Research Board's Highway
Capacity Manual, Special Report 209, Third Edition, Updated 1997 (HCM). The computations and procedures
described in the HCM were performed using the Highway Capacity Software, Version 3.2
The analysis of capacity and LOS were performed at the following locations:
· the existing US 20 from Old Highway Road to Seippel Road
· the existing temporary signal at US 20 I Existing Old Highway Road I Quarry Entrance intersection
· the proposed signalized intersection at US 20 I Old Highway Road Connection I Proposed Menard
Entrance
· the proposed unsignalized intersection at US 20 I Quarry Entrance
In the unsignalized and signalized intersection analysis discussion that follows, LOS C was used as the lowest
acceptable LOS for US 20 through traffic. LOS D was the lowest acceptable LOS for the turning movements
into and out of the proposed entrances and sideroads. The analysis details can be found in the Appendices
along with the turning movement diagrams.
.
5.5.4.1 Existing US 20
The segment of US 20 from Old Highway Road to Seippel Road is unsignalized. This multilane rural highway
segment operates at LOS A for both the 1997 and 2001 traffic volumes, prior to the consideration of the
proposed development. The capacity of the WB and EB lanes is 5.6 and 8.8 passenger cars per hour per lane
(pcphpl) respectively for the 1997 traffic data and 6.4 and 9.8 pcphpl respectively for the projected 2001 traffic
data. The capacity of US 20 (at a volume to capacity ratio equal to 1 and LOS E) is 40 pcphpl operating at
55 mph.
5.5.4.2 Existing Temporary Signal at US 20/ Existing Old Highway Road / Quarry Entrance
The lOOT conducted an 8-hour traffic count at this intersection in 1997. The 1997 counts were projected to
the design year, 2001, to analyze the operation of the existing intersection. The property served by what is
referred to in this document as the quarry entrance was sold recently and a development plan for this property
was submitted to the IDOT. This study does not address future traffic generated by that potential development
since it is not known what, if any, development will take place. The lOOT has indicated that US 20 Corridor
Preservation will acquire approximately 16-acres of this property. See Figure 3-1 for approximate US 20
Corridor Preservation limits.
The intersection Is a 4-way intersection serving east bound (ES) and west bound (WS) US 20, Existing Old
Highway Road and a quarry entrance. The intersection has no turn lanes for left or right turns from any of the
approaches. The signal appears to be fully actuated, to provide maximum green time to the US 20 through
movement.
This signal was analyzed for the AM Peak and PM peak traffic volumes. The overall intersection performance
for both the AM and PM Peak traffic volumes is LOS S, with US 20 delays between 12-seconds and
20-seconds and sideroad delays between 21-seconds and 23-seconds.
.
5.5.4.3 PfOposed Signalized Intersection at US 20/ Old Highway Road Connection / Proposed
Men8fd Entrance
The proposed Intersection is a 4-way intersection serving ES and WS US 20, Old Highway Road Connection
and proposed Menard entrance. The proposed intersection has dual left turn lanes from WB US 20, single left
turn lane from EB US 20, separate right turn lane from the Menard entrance and separate left turn lane from
Old Highway Road Connection. All other left and right turn movements are shared with the respective through
movement.
WHKS & CO.
12
The signal cycle was assumed to be 106 seconds, phases 1 and 2 pretimed, phases 3 and 4 acutated, only
protected left turns and four second yellow change time;
. Phase 1
. Phase 2
. Phase 3
. Phase 4
EB Left I WB left I NB right I SB right
EB through and right I WB through and right
SB left, through and right
NB left, through and right
26-seconds
44-seconds
10-seconds
10-seconds
The signal was analyzed for the AM, PM and Menard peak (Weekend, peak hour of generator) traffic volumes.
The overall intersection performance for all peak hours is LOS C, with US 20 through movement delays
between 24-seconds and 33-seconds, US 20 left turning movement delays between 30-seconds and
41-seconds and sideroad delays between 23-seconds and 53-seconds.
5.5.4.4 Proposed Unignalized Intersection at Old Highway Road Connection / Existing Old Highway
Road
The proposed intersection is a 3-way "T" intersection. The heaviest movements are to and from the west and
south legs of the intersection (see Figure 2-3). This intersection will require stop control on one or more legs
of the intersection. The grade between US 20 and existing Old Highway Road is steep.
The capacity of the proposed intersection is LOS A for all movements, for all periods of analysis and for all
configurations of stop control. This analysis does not account for extreme peak traffic during events at the
fairgrounds.
5.5.4.5 Proposed Unsignalized Intersection at US 20/ Quarry Entrance
The existing traffic signal would be removed. The proposed intersection would be a 3-way intersection serving
EB and WB US 20 and the quarry. The quarry entrance would become stop controlled. US 20 EB and WB
would not have a stop sign.
The reconfigured intersection was analyzed for the AM, PM and Menard peak traffic volumes. During the AM
peak the quarry exit operates at LOS C, with delays averaging 16-seconds. During the PM peak the quarry
exit operates at LOS E, with delays averaging 55-seconds. During the Menard peak the quarry exit operates
at LOS E with delays averaging 39-seconds. The WB left turn operates at LOS C or better with delays
averaging less than 20-seconds for any peak hour.
5.5.4.6 Proposed Signalized Intersection at US 20/ Quarry Entrance
Although the intersection does not warrant a traffic signal and the delays caused by an unsignalized
intersection are acceptable, the evaluation of a traffic signal at this location, actuated only by exiting quarry
traffic, has been requested.
The signal cycle was assumed to rest on green for EB and WB US 20 during phase one, until quarry exit traffic
actuates phase 2, protected left-turns and right-turns, with a four second yellow change time. With a minimum
cycle time of 70 seconds to maintain LOS A for US 20 during the PM peak, the quarry exit operates at LOS C,
with delays averaging 26-seconds.
If the quarry exit lane is separated into two exit lanes, one for right turns and one for left tums, and if the signal
included a third phase for actuated protected right turns only the quarry exit would operate at LOS 8, with
delays averaging 18-seconds.
Either of these concepts would require advance signal warnings. Much like a traffic signal actuated for Fire I
Emergency Stations the quarry signal will actuate on an irregular basis.
5.5.5 Site Circulation and Parking
The proposed Menard, Inc. entrance is approximately 165' long, from US 20 to the parking lot. This distance
should accommodate the queued vehicles leaving the proposed development.
WHKS & CO.
13
.
Circulation within the parking lot appears adequate for passenger cars, vans and pick-up trucks. However, the
site plan has not been modified to accommodate larger vehicles (delivery trucks, etc...) destined for the
shipping/receiving area.
Future site circulation will be affected by the access provided by the US 20 capacity improvements. Most
likely a frontage road will be constructed between the development and US 20. This scenario would most
likely provide Menard, Inc. with the option to develop additional points of access to the site. It could be
possible to have entrances at both ends of the site and possibly a third in between. The re-evaluation of
entrance locations with the frontage road will require a review of the parking layout and site cirduation.
6 Recommendations and Conclusions
An access concept exists that will serve the Menard, Inc. development with no net increase of traffic
signals on US 20. A traffic signal is warranted and recommended at the proposed intersection of US 20 I Old
Highway Road Connection I Proposed Menard Entrance. The proposed signalized Intersection at US 20 I Old
Highway Road Connection I Proposed Menard Entrance can serve the AM, PM and Menard peak traffic
volumes at or better than LOS C for US 20 through movements and LOS D for the turning movements into and
out of the proposed entrances and sideroads. Dual left turn lanes (180' long) are recommended for WB
US 20, with storage for 7 vehides in each lane. A single left turn lane (180' long) is recommended for EB
US 20, with storage for 7 vehides. The development entrance will require 4-lanes, two entrance lanes for the
dual left turn lanes from WB US 20 and two exit lanes, one for exiting left turn and through traffic, one for
exiting right turns. Old Highway Road Connection will require three lanes, one entrance lane, and two exit
lanes, one for exiting right turn and through traffic and one for left turns.
.
A traffic signal would no longer be warranted at the existing US 20 I Old Highway Road I Quarry Entrance
intersection and the existing temporary traffic signal is recommended to be removed. The capacity and LOS of
the existing US 20 I Old Highway Road I Quarry Entrance intersection changes with this recommendation.
The delay experienced by the exiting quarry traffic is unchanged during the AM peak, increased by
approximately 20-seconds during the weekend peak, increased by approximately 30-seconds during the PM
peak. The WB US 20 delays are reduced and the EB US 20 delays are eliminated.
It is recommended that the quarry entrance not be signalized. The signal warrants, including accident history,
are not met and the delays are acceptable. This recommendation agrees with the 1994 IDOT analysis that
traffic signals should not be installed at this intersection unless left turn lanes on US 20 are present. Motorists
on US 20 should be alerted to the presence of the quarry entrance by appropriate signing (Caution _
Trucks Entering Highway) and possibly a flashing yellow light at the intersection.
It is recommended that the existing Old Highway Road connection to US 20 be reconfigured to permit only
right-in and right-out movements to and from WB US 20 and permit no movements between existing Old
Highway Road and EB US 20. The reconfigured existing Old Highway Road right-in and right-out movements
should be sufficiently separated to discourage traffic from making left turns onto or from EB US 20.
The Old Highway Road Connection is compatible with future US 20 capacity improvements. Providing
the connection accomplishes part of the traffic control for constructing the ultimate US 20 capacity
improvements.
The existing US 20 I Old Highway Road I Quarry Entrance intersection geometries do not support a
major development. This analysis found the existing median too narrow to develop left turn lanes for a
frontage road to serve the Menard, Inc. development. Therefore, any plans to develop the property served by
the quarry entrance, prior to the completion of US 20 capacity improvements, will require the US 20 median be
widened from the existing width of 3-feet to a minimum of 15-feet to accommodate a left turn lane. This could
significantly impact the existing businesses east of the intersection, especially existing median crossover
access points and parking lot areas.

RE: Menards Stoplight Location
Dear Kyle,
.
Having had the opportunity to view the proposed Menards project road relocation project, we fec:lthis
would meet the neeus of the fair on the basis that there arc adtlquatc turn lanes, acec:leroltion lanes and
signalization at Highway 20.
We ask that the Fairgruunds tranie flow for the six days of the fair, our Sunday racing program, mtuly
special events and daily opt:ration is considert:d when making any tjnal determination.
With the proper signage to direct our patrons, we feel that this would benefit the Fairgrounds and our
customers to enter and exit the Fairgrounds without confusion or congestion.
We will review the proposal at our Full Board Meeting on December 12 and report any questions or
concc:rns at the City Council Public Hearing on December 18.
Sincerely.

SUBJECT: Proposed Menard, Inc. Development on U.S. 20 in Dubuque
Dear Mayor Duggan:
This letter is to confirm our conversation on December 12, 2000 concerning the current Menard, Inc.
development proposal along U.S. 20 west of Old Highway Road.
The initial proposal from Menard, Inc. was to upgrade an existing access to U.S. 20. Under thIS
scenario there would have been a signalized T-intersection at the Menard, Inc. access, and the Old
Highway Road intersection would have remained as is. The response from the city to this proposal
was that there could be no net increase in traffic signals on U.S. 20, thereby prompting Menard, Inc.
to make another submittal.
The second proposal from Menard, Inc. was based on a possible relocated Old Highway Road
connection to U.S. 20 using state-owned property across from the Menard, Inc. property. Under this
scenario, the new intersection was to be signalized and the traffic signal at the existing Old Highway
Road connection to U.S. 20 would be removed.
However, according to a recent article in the Dubuque Telegraph Herald, the city is being asked to
retain the existing trafflc signal at Old Highway Road to accommodate leh-turning traffic exiting
from the quarry. The traffic impact analysis performed by WHKS & Co., engineering consulting
firm for Menard, Inc., states that the existing traffic signal will no longer meet warrants for signals
and should be removed. Our department would not support allowmg the signals to remain if warrants
are not met.
Two other issues need to be addressed based on information provided in the traffic impact study.
One includes the access spacing to the next easterly entrance on U.S. 20, which is currently proposed
at 750 feet. The desirable minimum access spacing on this highway is 1000 feet. A waiver will be
considered if other reasonable options do not exist. The other issue involves the vertical l.?:eometrv of
"" "
the proposed connection between Old Highway Road and tr.S. 20 across from the Menard, Inc.
entrance. OUf department will require a "landing platform" adjacent to the U.S. 20 traffic lanes.
Thus, the profile grade of the connection may very well exceed the proposed 10%.

The Honorable Terrance Duggan
Mayor of Dubuque
December 14,2000
These issues need to be addressed by a technical review by engineering staff from both the city and
our department. I offer the resources of our Dyersville staff engin~er, Art Gourley, to help work
through this issue with city staff and representatives from Menard, Inc.
Please contact me if you have any questions concerning this letter.
Very truly yours,

MENARD'S RELOCATION

~ ~:f~: ~,~
After receiving your encouragement as a City Council to"'- ~e ~
up with an alternate development plan, an extensive traffic study has
been completed by WHKS with a new proposal evolving. This
"second proposal" was reviewed by the Zoning commission with
approval given at their December 6, 2000 meeting. lOOT has also
reviewed the plan and has stated their concerns. This plan which Mr.
Kautz calls the "second proposal" involves two traffic signals with a
new connector road from US#20 to the Old Highway Road totally built
at Menard's expense. This plan as of 12/14 received some concerns
by lOOT as indicated in a letter from Mr. Kautz dated 12/14. The most
insurmountable problem seems to be the trip traffic light for the quarry
traffic entering US#20 at the present Old Highway Road intersection.
The traffic engineering study completed by WHKS does NOT support
this light only for quarry traffic. Therefore, lOOT is not willing to
approve the plan. The other lOOT concerns seem to be
surmountable.
However, with Mr. Tschiggfrie's concerns with no traffic signal
at the present Old Highway Road intersection, you as a Council
seemed to be in support of the presence of the traffic signal even
though engineering statistics indicate that there is no need for said
signal with the realignment of the Old Highway Road intersection
approximately 2,100' further west. Therefore, you seemed willing to
leave two traffic signals on US#20. That being the case, the original
proposal as referred to in Mr. Kautz's letter as the "initial proposal",
seems to be the more viable alternative.
The "initial proposal" from an engineering point of view solves
all the engineering problems of this development along US#20. This
proposal has no engineering concerns for lOOT, WHKS and the
developer. The only issue remaining is that the proposal would
require two traffic signals on US#20 west of the NW Arterial. The
distance between these signals would be approximately 2,100' from
the center of the intersection to the center of the intersection.

The "initial proposal" retains Mr. Tschiggfrie's signaled access
request. This proposal has been approved by: lOOT engineers, the
Dubuque Zoning Commission and the developer. It also meets
acceptable engineering standards as reviewed and outlined by
WHKS. This "initial proposal" keeps the Level of Service (LOS) at B
for both intersections. The "second proposal" resulted in a LOS of C
at the new Menard's intersection and a LOS of A for the Old Highway
Road intersection. The "initial proposal" handles more traffic more
efficiently than the "second proposal". Mr. Kautz has been asked to
attend the City Council meeting Monday, 12/18/2000, but has
declined. I urge you to contact Mr. Dick Kautz, lOOT District Engineer
at (319) 364-0235, to further substantiate this conclusion which is
insinuated in his letter to Mayor Duggan on 12/14/2000.
The "initial proposal" does accomplish lOOT's criteria and the
developer's needs as it was initially proposed. The "second proposal"
can accomplish the developers needs as designed provided two
concerns can be resolved with lOOT as to the minimum distance
between intersections and the grade off US#20 to the new connector
road to Old Highway Road. However, the "second proposal" will NOT
be approved by lOOT with an unwarranted functional traffic signal at
the present Old Highway Road intersection.
Will you approve the "initial proposal" with two traffic signals
approximately 2,100' apart on US#20 or will you approve the "second
proposal" with a new connector road and traffic signal on US#20 with
a right-in and right-out only and no traffic signal at the present Old
Highway Road?
May we have your support Monday, 12/18/2000?

The Coordination Meeting was held November 27. 2000 from 12:30 to 2:30 in Conference Room A of the City of
Dubuque City Hall.
The purpose of the meeting was to coordinate the involvement of the City, County and laDOT in the site plan
development. road relocation and traffic analysis for the proposed Menard, Inc. development on US 20 in Dubuque.
1. At the beginning of the meeting all attendees introduced themselves. Lauro Carstens arrived after introductions
had been made.
2. Dan recounted the history of the existing temporary trafflo signal at US 20 I Old Highway Road I Quarry
Entrance. Since traffic signals are central to the Men$rd development and the existing signal is recommended
to be removed it is important to understand the history of the 'existing signal. Generally. the existing signal was
installed in 1995 because the traffic volume on Old Highway Road (formerly 11\ 965) satisfied traffic signal
warrants based only on traffic volumes. Neither Old Highway Road nor the quarry entrance satisfied traffic
signal warrants based on accident history.
Furthermore, the 1994 lOOT recommendation to install signals at this location was conditional upon the
installation of left turn lanes on US 20. At that time a US 20 modernization project was proposed that would
have affected the intersection. The "temporary- signals that exist today, without the recommended left turn
lanes on US 20, were installed with the expectation that the US 20 modernization project would be built in 1998
and would include left turn lanes and permanent signals.
3. Jim presented the results of his effort to involve the. public in the project. A petition has been signed by a
majority of the residents along the section of Old Highway Road neaf the existing US 20 intersection. The
petition supports reconfiguring Old Highway Road gIVen right-in and tight-out access to US 20 at the US 20 I
Old Highway Road intersection. A cul-de-sao crt this location is perceived to be undesirable to the residents.
i<.:
4. Jim requemed concurrence on the boundary between the City of Dubuque and Dubuque County based on his
research. The City and County representatives ~greed that the line is between the Dave Siegert and Steven
Humke property.
5. The ownership, maintenance 8nd design review responsitJilities for the proposed relocation were discussed. It
was determined that the County would have responsibility for maintenance only. under the maintenance
agreement between the City and County for roadways along their shared boundary. The City would own the
proposed road and would therefore determine the.design criteria and approve the concept.
6. The design criteria and design concept for the Old Highway Road connection were discussed. The City
approved the concept presented, but indicated that. a ~T" intersection would be acceptable. There was
agreement that the"'" concept might stay Within the boundaries of land owned by, availaillle to or controlled by
Menard. The discussions (and subsequent review after the meeting) resulted in the following design criteria for

Th~ IDOT noted that the minimum spacing required between entrances is 1000.feet. The design provides only
700.feet between the proposed Menard entrance and the commercial entrance to the east. The lOOT will need
to provide an exr;eption for this project.
7. A design approval I review process for the site design, road relocation and traffic analysis was discussed. The
results of the Zoning Advisory Commission meeting. on December 8. 2000 and the Dubuque City Council
meeting on December 18. 2000 will determine the ultima\e schedule. Assuming successful rezoning and
preliminary design approval WHKS & Co. could be complete with design in February. The lOOT could
complete the design review and permits in M4irch. . The last step before construction will be dedication of right-
of-way. Menard and the lOOT will have to dedicate and transfer property to the City of Dubuque. It is uncertain
how long it will take to complete the dedication process. The Dubuque City Council will be involVed in the
dedication process.
B. The Traffic Impact Analysis was discussed. No comments or questions were received. The -r intersection will
be analyzed and included in the report provided the design criteria are met and capacity analysis shows
acceptable Level of Service.
9. The potential future construction staging ~nefits to the lOOT of the proposed Old Highway Road relocation
were discussed. It was agreed that there may be benefltSl but no conclusions could be made without a
completed design for the US 20 capacity improvements.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:30 PM.
This represents the basic understanding of the above-referenced meeting. It revisions or modifications are
required. please advise.
Sincerely,
WHKS ILCO.

MENARD'S RELOCATION
--.. (~~ '. '.)
After receiving your encouragement as a City Council to"'-~e ~;
up with an alternate development plan, an extensive traffic study has N
been completed by WHKS with a new proposal evolving. This
"second proposal" was reviewed by the Zoning commission with
approval given at their December 6,2000 meeting. lOOT has also
reviewed the plan and has stated their concerns. This plan which Mr.
Kautz calls the "second proposal" involves two traffic signals with a
new connector road from US#20 to the Old Highway Road totally built
at Menard's expense. This plan as of 12/14 received some concerns
by lOOT as indicated in a letter from Mr. Kautz dated 12/14. The most
insurmountable problem seems to be the trip traffic light for the quarry
traffic entering US#20 at the present Old Highway Road intersection.
The traffic engineering study completed by WHKS does NOT support
this light only for quarry traffic. Therefore, lOOT is not willing to
approve the plan. The other lOOT concerns seem to be
surmountable.
However, with Mr. Tschiggfrie's concerns with no traffic signal
at the present Old Highway Road intersection, you as a Council
seemed to be in support of the presence of the traffic signal even
though engineering statistics indicate that there is no need for said
signal with the realignment of the Old Highway Road intersection
approximately 2,100' further west. Therefore, you seemed willing to
leave two traffic signals on US#20. That being the case, the original
proposal as referred to in Mr. Kautz's letter as the "initial proposal",
seems to be the more viable alternative.
The "initial proposal" from an engineering point of view solves
all the engineering problems of this development along US#20. This
proposal has no engineering concerns for lOOT, WHKS and the
developer. The only issue remaining is that the proposal would
require two traffic signals on US#20 west of the NW Arterial. The
distance between these signals would be approximately 2,100' from
the center of the intersection to the center of the intersection.

The "initial proposal" retains Mr. Tschiggfrie's signaled access
request. This proposal has been approved by: lOOT engineers, the
Dubuque Zoning Commission and the developer. It also meets
acceptable engineering standards as reviewed and outlined by
WHKS. This "initial proposal" keeps the Level of Service (LOS) at 8
for both intersections. The "second proposal" resulted in a LOS of C
at the new Menard's intersection and a LOS of A for the Old Highway
Road intersection. The "initial proposal" handles more traffic more
efficiently than the "second proposal". Mr. Kautz has been asked to
attend the City Council meeting Monday, 12/18/2000, but has
declined. I urge you to contact Mr. Dick Kautz, lOOT District Engineer
at (319) 364-0235, to further substantiate this conclusion which is
insinuated in his letter to Mayor Duggan on 12/14/2000.
The "initial proposal" does accomplish lOOT's criteria and the
developer's needs as it was initially proposed. The "second proposal"
can accomplish the developer's needs as designed provided two
concerns can be resolved with lOOT as to the minimum distance
between intersections and the grade off US#20 to the new connector
road to Old Highway Road. However, the "second proposal" will NOT
be approved by lOOT with an unwarranted functional traffic signal at
the present Old Highway Road intersection.
Will you approve the "initial proposal" with two traffic signals
approximately 2,100' apart on US#20 or will you approve the "second
proposal" with a new connector road and traffic signal on US#20 with
a right-in and right-out only and no traffic signal at the present Old
Highway Road?
May we have your support Monday, 12/18/2000?
Please call Jim Bradley at home 583-3716 anytime or at work
583-7580.

The Coordination Meeting was held November 27. 2000 from 12:30 to 2:30 in Conference Room A of the City of
Dubuque City Hall.
The purpose of the meeting was to coordinate the involvement of the City, County and laDOT ill the site plan
development. road relocation and traffic analysis for the proposed Menard, Inc. development on US 20 in Dubuque.
1. At the beginning of the meeting all attendees introduced themselVes. LaullI Carstens arrived after introductions
had been made.
2. Dan recounted the history of the existing temporary traf1lO signal at US 20 I Old Highway Road I Quarry
Entrance. Since traffic signals are central to the Men$rd development and tile existing signal is recommended
to.be removed it is important to undemand the history of the' existing signal. Generally, the existing signal was
installed in 1995 because the traffic volume on Old Highway Road (formerty IA 96S) satisfied traffic signal
warrants based only on traffic volumes. Neither Old Highway Road nor the quarry entrance satisfied traffIC
signal warrants based on accident history.
Furthennore, the 1994 lOOT recommendation to install signals at this location was conditional upon the
installation of left turn lanes on US 20. At that lime a US 20 modernization project was proposed that would
have affected the intersection. The -temporary" signals that exist today, without the rec;ommended left turn
lanes on US 20, were installed wittl the expectation that the US 20 modernization project would be built in 1998
and would include left turn lanes and pennanent signals.
3. Jim presented the results of his effort to involve ttl$ public in the project. A petition has been signed by a
majority of the residents along the section of Old Highway Road near the existing US 20 intersection. The
petition supports reconfiguring Old Highway Road gIVen right-in and rtght-out access to US 20 at the US 20 I
Old Highway Road intersection. A cul-de-sao crt this location is perceived to be undesirable to the residents.
4. Jim requested concurrence on the boundary between the City of Dubuque and Dubuque County based 0" his
research. The City and County representatives ~reed that the line is between the Dave Siegert and Steven
Humke property.
5. The ownership, maintenanoe and design review responsibilities for the proposed relocation were discussed. It
was detennined that the County would have responsibility for maintenance only. under the maintenence
agreement between the City and County for roadways along their shered boundary. The City would own the
proposed road and would therefore determine the design criteria and approve the concept.
6. The design criteria and design concept for the Old Highway Road connection were discussed. The CiW
approved the concept presented, but indicated that a ~T" intersection would be acceptable. There was
agreement that the -r concept might stay Within the boundaries of land owned by, availaible to or controlled by
Menard. The discussions (and subsequent review after the meeting) resulted in the following design criteria for

SUB,lEeT: Proposed Menard, Inc. Development on U.S. 20 in Dubuque
Dr:.ar Mayor Duggan:
This letter is to c.onf1l'Tl'l. our conversation on December 12, 2000 eonceming the CUI1'eDt Menard, Inc.
development proposal along U.S. 20 west of Old Highway Road.
Th~ Initial propo.fol from Menard, Inc. w~,..s to upgrade an existing access to U.S. 20. Under this
scenario there would have been a signalized T -intersection at the Menard, Inc. access, and the Old
Highway Road intersection would have remained as ;s, The response from the city to this proposal
was that there could be nQ net increase in t,.affic signals on U.S. 20, thereby prompting Menard, Inc.
to make another submittal.
Tilt: second proposal from Menard, Inc. was based OD a possible relocated Old Highway Road
connection to U.S. 20 using state-owned pmperty across from the Menard, Inc. property. Under this
scenario, the new intersection was to be signalized and the traffic signal at the existing Old Highway
Road connection to U.S. 20 would be removed.
However, according to a recent article in lhc Dubuque Telegraph Herald, the city is being asked to
[i;tain the existing traffic signal at Old Highway Road to accommodate left..turning traffic exiting
from the quarry. The traffic impact analysis performed by WHKS &, Co., engineering consulting
finn fOf Menard, Inc., states that the existing traffic signal wm no longer meet warrants for signals
and should be removed. Our department would not support allowing the liilgnals to remain if warrants
are not met.
Two other issues need to be addressed based on infolmatioIl provided in. the traffic impact study.
One includes the access spacing to the next easterly entrance on U.S. 20. which is currently proposed.
at 750 feet. The desirable minimum acce;,s spacing on this highway is 1000 feet. A waiver will be
considered if other reasonable options do riot exist. TIle other issue involves the vertical geometry of
the proposed connection b~eeo Old Highway Road and U.S. 20 across from the Menard, Inc.
entrance. Our department win require a "landing platform" ~jacent to the U.s. 20 traffic lanes.
Thl\.<:':, the prot1le grade ofthe connection may very well exceed the prClposed 10%.
