RE: Rezoning - Vacant Lot on Kelly Lane (one lot north of 1171 Miller Road)
R-1 Single-Family Residential District to R-2 Two-Family Residential District to
allow for construction of a duplex
Leonard Witt
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, stating that the property is well suited to
the construction of a duplex and access would be from Kelly Lane. Staff reviewed
surrounding zoning and land use. which is predominantly single-family residential.
Several neighboring property owners spoke in opposition to the request because of
concerns for increased traffic and negative impact on property owners. A letter and a
petition in opposition were submitted.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, noting that while a single
duplex will not adversely impact traffic and would not significantly impact property
values, the request did represent a spot zone in an area that has been developed for
single-family residential homes.
Recommendation
Bya vote of 6 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council
deny the request.
A super majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.
Respectfully submitted

REZONING STAFF REPORT
Zoning Agenda: December 6, 2000
Property Address: Vacant lot on Kelly Lane, one lot north of 1171 Miller Road
Property Owner: Leonard E. Witt
Applicant: Leonard E. Witt
Proposed Land Use: Two-family Residential
Proposed Zoning: R-2
Existing Land Use:
Vacant
Existing Zoning: R-1
Adjacent Land Use:
North - Single-Family residential
East - Single-Family Residential
South - Single-Family Residential
West - Single-Family Residential
Adjacent Zoning: North - R-1
East - R-1
South - R-1
West - R-1
Former Zoning:
1934 - County; 1975 - R-2; 1985 - R-1
Total Area: ~ Q(.tt'>
Property History:
The property has been vacant since its annexation into the city.
Physical Characteristics: The subject parcel has frontage on Kelly Lane and the back
half of the property slopes steeply to the northwest.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The 1995 Comprehensive Plan did not
designate this area.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: Kelly Lane is designated as a collector street and carries
approximately 8,000 vehicle trips per day based on 1997 lOOT counts.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment.
Adjacent Properties: The R-2 District would allow a small increase in the density
of development possible when compared to the R-1 Single-Family Residential
District.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The applicant is requesting rezoning of a 38,000 square foot parcel
from R-1 Single-Family Residential to R-2 Two-Family Residential. Prior to 1975, the
REZONING STAFF REPORT
Page 2
parcel was zoned R-1 Single-Family Residential; however, between 1975 and 1985,
the parcel was zoned R-2 Two-Family Residential, and was again rezoned to R-1 as
part of the 1985 comprehensive rezoning of the city.
Planning staff is unaware of any other duplex or multi-family units in the immediate area
surrounding the proposed rezoning. The R-2 district differs mainly from the R-1 district
in that two-unit structures are allowed as opposed to only single-family detached
structures in the R-1 district. The surrounding property has been developed
predominantly for single-family residential.
Staff recommends the Zoning Advisory Commission review Section 6-1.1 of the Zoning
Ordinance that establishes criteria for the review of rezoning requests.

Dear Commission Members
Weare against the proposed zoning and/or development for-the- lot on Kelly Lane (one lot north
of 1171 Miller Road) as this would set a precedence for allowing rezoning of other property on
Kelly Lane. We believe the rezoning of this- pI opel t y would bring down the value of prop~y in
the neighborhood on Kelly Lane near this site.
In addition the extra traffic brought by a multi;..family dwelling on the hill will make it dangerous
to traffic due to the blind curve at the top near Pego Court.
Sincerely,
/k~C,r"-'., .

STATEMENT OF OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED
ZONING CHANGE OF THE LOT ON KELLY LANE
We, the oodersigned, do hereby declare that we are opposed to the
rezoning request for the vacant lot on Kelly Lane (one lot north of 1171
Miller Road). We feel that rezoning the lot from R-l Single-Family
Residential to R - 2 Two-Family Residential would result in lower
neighborhood property values, would open the door to additional rezoning
changes in the future, and would have a detrimental effect on the character of
the neighborhood.
