MEMORANDUM
30 October 2000
To: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
From: ~Rich Russell, Building Services Manager
Re: Dubuque County Historical Society/Conlon Construction Appeal of the 4th
Street Peninsula Permit Moratorium
INTRODUCTION: Dubuque County Historical Society and Conlon Construction are
appealing my refusal to issue a building permit for the Mississippi River Discovery Center
to the City Council.
BACKGROUND: On August 7th, 2000, the City Council adopted an Ordinance that
established a building permit moratorium for the Fourth Street Peninsula ROD
Redevelopment Overlay District.
That Ordinance allows the City Council to direct the Building Services Manager to issue
permits that the City Council believes would not negatively impact the master planning
process for the Fourth Street Peninsula ROD Redevelopment Overlay District.
DISCUSSION: The permit application indicates that a 44,000 square foot, two story
museum would be constructed between the existing museum and depot buildings.
CONCLUSION: I recommend that the City Council find that no negative impacts would
arise due to the issuance of this building permit and that I be directed to issue the same.
