CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA
MEMORANDUM
January 5, 1999
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Gil D. Spence, Leisure Services Manager'Y
SUBJECT: Landscaping along Northwest Arterial
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council approval to request
DOT/DNR Funds to landscape along the Northwest Arterial behind 4792 Camelot
Drive.
DISCUSSION
When the grading was done for the west lanes of the Northwest Arterial, residents
along Camelot Drive expressed their concerns about noise level. lOOT responded by
planting trees along the property line to provide screening.
I have been contacted by Steve Raymond of 4792 Camelot Drive to ask for help
getting the landscaping extended past his property. He had spoken with Jim
Carpenter, lOOT Roadside Development, about getting this done and Mr. Carpenter
suggested he contact the City. They have funds for this type of thing but the City
would need to make the request.
Attached is an "application to sponsor highway planting" and a letter to Mark Masteller
requesting the funds. I am proposing the same design used in this area be extended
south approximately 100 meters to provide screening for the other residents along
Camelot Drive. Sixty more trees would be planted at an estimated cost of $11,460.
The City would be required to maintain the trees for two years and that is the extent
of our commitment.
I recommend the City Council approve the "application to sponsor highway planting"
and the request for DOT /DNR Funds to do this landscaping project.
ACTION STEP
Action requested is that the City Council approve the "application to sponsor highway
planting" and the request for DOT/DNR Funds.

Dear Mark:
Dubuque resident Steve Raymond, 4792 Camelot Drive, has discussed
with Jim Carpenter, Roadside Development, his interest in extending plantings
done on the Northwest Arterial (Highway 362) further south to provide a
screening to his home and others. The present landscaping was done as part
of the grading contract and Mr. Raymond would like to see the same design
extended.
I visited with Mr. Carpenter about the request and he seems to support
it. He indicated funding may be available from the DOT /DNR Fund and sent me
the information. This letter is the City of Dubuque's request for funding.
Enclosed is a design prepared by lOOT and used in this location. My plan
is to repeat what is shown three times so the plantings would extend 100
meters from the present trees.
The following is a listing of the total trees to be planted with a cost
estimate:
· Emerald Queen Maple 15@$204 == $ 3,060
· Autumn Blaze Maple 18@$204 == $ 3,672
· Patmore Ash 1 2 @ $1 94 == $ 2,328
· White Pine lQ @ $160 == $ 2,400
Total 60 $ 1 1 .460
I believe this is the information you need; if not, please let me know.
look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
tie.
