Location: 4168 Peru Road Description: Preliminary Plat North Ridge Estates Dear Mayor and City Council Members: Dubuque awwtmatcatitr 2007 June 11, 2012 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 the proposed subdivision including lot layout, street design, storm water management, grading and access. Planning Staff reviewed the staff report, noting surrounding zoning and land use, 40 points of sustainable techniques used, extension of City water and sanitary sewer, and street design, including waiver of the maximum collector street grade for Marisa Ridge. There were no public comments. The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, noting that there was no provision for a park or open space within the subdivision. They reviewed with staff the criteria for open space and the topography of the site that limits suitable sites for play areas. Recommendation By a vote of 7 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve the request, subject to waiving the maximum collector street grade to allow a section of Marisa Ridge to be 12 %, where 10% is the maximum. A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.

The existing property rises in elevation east of Peru Road and is heavily wooded. The property drains to the southwest. Proposed Phasing: None. Previous Conditions of Zoning or Plats: None. Dedication of Open Space or Public Amenities: None. The guideline contained in Section 11 -9.1 is .48 acres. Proposed Streets and Grades: Marisa Ridge — 2.8 -12 %; Cayden Court - .85 -12 %. Recommended Motion: Motion to approve the submitted Preliminary Plat of North Ridge Estates, subject to waiving the maximum collector street grade of 10 percent. The submitted Preliminary Plat is in all other respects in compliance with City of Dubuque Unified Development Code. Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: The 2030 Future Land Use Map designates the subject parcel for single - family or duplex residential. The submitted Preliminary Plat Subdivision Staff Report — North Ridge Estates Page 2 involves the following Comprehensive Goals: Land Use and Urban Design Goals 1.5, 1.8, 7.2, and 9.3. Environmental Quality Goals: 1.4, 1.5, 2.3, 2.5, and 5.8. Impact of Request on: Utilities: Existing utilities can be extended to handle the proposed 42 lot subdivision. Traffic Patterns: Peru Road is classified as a collector street and based on 2009 IDOT traffic counts, carries 5,700 ADTs north of Roosevelt Road and 3,630 ADTs south of Roosevelt Road. Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the proposed subdivision. Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment provided adequate erosion control and stormwater management is provided during all phases of development of the property. Adjacent Properties: Planning staff anticipates that the most likely impact to adjacent property is an increase in vehicle trips traveling on Peru Road. Proposed Sustainable Development Tools: 1) Green Building Code (100 %) — 10 points 2) Street Trees — 5 points 3) LED street lights — 5 points 4) Preservation of Native Trees — 5 points 5) Solar Subdivision (50% of the required solar lots) — 15 points TOTAL: 40 points Recommended Conditions on Plat: None. Staff Analysis: The Preliminary Plat of North Ridge Estates subdivides approximately 16 acres into 42 building lots. The building lots are all zoned R -1 Single - Family Residential. The property has been zoned R -1 Single - Family Residential since its annexation into the City in the late 1970s. Access to Lots 37 and 38 will be directly from Peru Road and access to Lots 39 thru 42 will be from Roosevelt Road. The proposed subdivision includes the construction of two new public streets, Marisa Ridge and Cayden Court, to be built with a 50 -foot right -of -way and 31 feet of paving width. Marisa Ridge is being designated as a collector street and will be limited to one side parking only. A section of Marisa Ridge is at 12% grade where 10% is the Subdivision Staff Report — North Ridge Estates Page 3 maximum allowed in the UDC. City Engineering has reviewed the street layout and does not object as the street grade of 12% is only a short section. There is an adequate transition to 4% before Marisa Ridge intersects with Peru Road. Marisa Ridge is being designated as a collector street as City staff anticipates further development to the north in the future. The street will have a temporary turnaround until such time that the adjacent property is proposed to be developed. The proposed subdivision will generate approximately 400 average daily trips (ADTs) when fully developed. Based on 2009 IDOT counts, Peru Road carries 3,630 ADTs south of Roosevelt Road and 5,700 ADTs north of Roosevelt Road. Roosevelt Road carries 3,000 ADTs based on IDOT traffic counts. The proposed subdivision can be served by an extension of both City water and sanitary sewer utilities that exist in Peru Road. Both sanitary sewer and water mains are 12 inches in size. There is sufficient capacity available in both water and sanitary sewer systems to accommodate the proposed subdivision. City staff will review the extension of water and sanitary sewer mains in detail as part of the Final Plat/ Improvement Plans for North Ridge Estates. The Unified Development Code requires that each new subdivision utilize sustainable development tools and achieve a 40 -point score from a list of sustainable development tools. The applicant has achieved a 40 -point total with a mixture of five sustainable tools for the preliminary plat of North Ridge Estates as follows: 1) The applicant will be utilizing the Green Building Code for 100% of the new homes. (10 points). 2) The applicant will be utilizing LED street lights within the subdivision (5 points). 3) The applicant has proposed to preserve to the extent possible the existing trees on the site. Grading of the site will be limited to the new roadways and covenants will be established restricting or limiting the cutting of significant trees on home sites. (5 points) 4) The applicant will plant street trees in compliance with the City's street tree policy. (5 points). 5) Solar lots. The applicant has created 15 lots within the subdivision that comply with the UDC requirements for solar lots. While normally 70% of the lots of a subdivision must meet this criterion to get the 30 points for a solar subdivision, which would be 29 lots in this case, the applicant has requested half the points for half the number of required lots. The City Planner has reviewed this request and believes it is justifiable to award half the points for half the number of solar lots. (15 points). Subdivision Staff Report — North Ridge Estates Page 4 Attached to this staff report is a handout on how solar orientation can lower heating and cooling costs for a single - family home. The proposed subdivision will be required to meet the City storm water control regulations and policies. The applicant has indicated on his site plan a detention area located in the northwest corner of the site. The emergency overflow has been identified and is shown following along the east side of Lot 4 and then flowing into the catch basin on Marisa Ridge. The stormwater calculations and stormwater control /detention are required as part of the final plat and improvement plans that must be reviewed and approved by the City staff as part of the submittal of the final plat to City Council. The proposed subdivision is adjacent to an existing auto and truck salvage operation. There is an existing buffer of trees between the proposed subdivision and the salvage yard. Section 4 -6 -9 of the Municipal Code establishes standards for screening. A copy is attached to this staff report. The proposed subdivision includes incorporating the existing single - family home on Lot 14. Because of the lay of the land and the need to plat building lots on both sides of Marisa Ridge, the front yard setback for the existing house will be 15 feet rather than the standard 20 feet. This situation occurs occasionally on infill developments, and the existing home will be made legally non - conforming. The Unified Development Code (Section 11 -9.1) establishes a suggested amount of recreational open space for new subdivisions. The amount is based on the number of proposed dwelling units. Based on the number of single - family Tots, the proposed subdivision is suggested to have .48 acres of recreational open space. The applicant is not proposing to dedicate any recreation open space at this time. Planning staff has had discussions with the Leisure Services Department Manager, and believe that with the small size of the subdivision that it would not be cost effective for the City to participate in a park area until such time as additional residential development occurs beyond this subdivision. Planning staff recommends the Zoning Advisory Commission recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat of North Ridge Estates as it is in compliance with the Unified Development Code, subject to waiving the maximum grade of 10% for collector streets.

Yet most do little to use the environment in or- der to reach their real performance potentiat. About 40 percent of our end -use energy demand and over two- thirds of electricity demand is for buildings. A significant portion of that demand can be met using the sun if we learn to design and renovate buildings to take advantage of access to solar energy. Further, buildings now produce about 40 per- cent of U.S carbon emissions, another reason to take advantage of solar power. We know that more solar energy falls on our roofs than is required to meet the U.S. demand for etectricity. However, our land -use policies and regulations discour- age the use of this valuable resource. We need to do everything we can to encourage decision makers, the building industry, and building owners to think of buildings as energy producers. For our future welt- being it is essential that we consider energy production and use as an integral part of building design for new construction and renovations alike. We need to encourage builders, developers, designers, engineers, and owners to use the environment to heat, coot, ventilate, daylight, and power our buildings. As planners we need to help edu- cate and promote changes in how we design and renovate buildings and to use land -use controls to enable that to happen. It can no longer be an either -or choice between environmentally sensitive building design or dense development to achieve viable transit systems. It can and must be both. We cannot favor one approach to re- ducing energy use over another in making recommendations to decision makers. That is because the dominate fuel sources for build- ings and for transportation differ. At present, most energy for transportation comes from oit or biofuels. In contrast, coal is the primary energy source for buildings —with some natu- ral gas, hydroelectric, nuclear, and wind sup- plementing the grid. Of these energy sources, only hydroelectric, nuclear, and wind energy do not contribute carbon emissions. Concen- trated solar thermal plants may begin provid- ing electricity In the near future. According to Energy Information Admin- istration 2005 survey data, an office build- ing uses about 4o percent of its energy for heating, cooling, and ventilation; 3o percent for lighting; and i6 percent for office equip- ment and other "plug" loads. A commercial building built to American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air - Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard gal (a standard com- monly referenced in building codes) may use about zo percent of its energy for heating and cooling, up to 7o percent and sometimes more for lighting, and the remaining for hot water, pumps, and equipment. A typical home may use one -half its energy demand for space conditioning (heating, cooling, and ventilation), zo percent each for refrigeration and hot water, and the remainder for appli- ances and electronics. It is crucial that we use all the opportuni- ties we can muster to design buildings to meet their energy needs. We must begin to think of buildings as being net energy producers —that is, buildings that can put energy into the elec- tric grid instead of just taking it out. How do we achieve such buildings? We begin by minimizing the energy load of the building itself. This is done by using ef- ficiency measures to conserve energy and passive solar design strategies and other solar technologies to produce energy. The objective of passive solar —or whole - building— design is to capture the natural environment using elements that are already employed in buildings and to do so at little or no increase in construction or renovation costs. The resulting buildings are more economicat to maintain, aestheti- cally pleasing, comfortable, and healthy. They are light and airy, easier to sell and rent, and pleasant places to live, study, and work. Studies have shown that employee absenteeism is reduced and performance improves when office buildings incorporate elements of solar design. Buildings that take advantage of solar building design are less dependent on fuel cost variations and can maintain comfort during power outages. They may employ any architectural style desired and be of any building type and use required — single or multifamily housing, institutional, commercial, or industrial. Passive solar buildings use a south -fac- ing orientation (north- facing in the southern hemisphere) and building components (like windows, walls, and floors) to capture the benefits of the sun for heating and daylight - ing, and they use natural airflows and tem- perature gradients (the difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures) for ventilation and cooling. They use landscap- ing and overhangs for shading. In some climates they may use evaporative tooting or cooling towers, and soon, aft climates may be able to adopt evaporative cooling technologies because of new research on desiccant technologies (materials capable of removing moisture from the air). Once the building's energy need is min- imized, owners may consider active solar thermal for domestic hot water (DHW) and auxiliary heating and photovoltaics (PV) for electricity. Excess electricity can be fed into the utility's grid for others to use. ZONINGPRACTICE 4.10 AMERICAN PLANNING ASSGCIATION I Page 2 ASK THE AUTHOR JOIN US ONLINE!

ELEMENTS OF SOLAR BUILDING DESIGN Before we see how these ideas can be en- couraged through land -use regulations, it is necessary to understand how to incorporate solar concepts into buildings. Keep in mind throughout the following discussion that solar design is location- specific. We'll begin with basic solar building design concepts and technologies. Latitude. Depending on location, the height and angle of the sun in the sky (the azimuth) throughout the year and climate characteristics (for example, heating and cooling degree days and air -flow patterns) wilt establish the basis for the design of solar buildings and therefore, solar access requirements. (Specific climate data are available for numerous weather stations Energy- effic'ency measures. These measures include proper levels of insula- tion and glazing ype, control of air infiltra- tion, properly sized mechanical equipment, efficient applian es and office equipment, and electric lighting systems and controls. Daylighting. This refers to the use of solar radiation captured through the use of clerestory glazing, sawtooth roof moni- tors, light shelves (horizontal surfaces over the windows' exterior that reflect daylight onto the ceiling and deep into the building), light tubes, and other means of bringing light into the building. Studies have shown that daylight can reduce electric bills 3o to 5o percent. Skylights are commonly used for daytighting. However, unless they are designed as an integral part of the building, they will likely increase the cooling load. Elec- tric lighting controls are integral to the use of daylighti ng so that light levels are constant when people are present and fixtures are not on when radiation levels are adequate. Suntempering. For housing and smart nonresidential buildings, suntempering may be a desirable approach. Suntempering is accomplished by simply moving more of the windows to the south and relying on interior finishes and furnishings for thermal or heat storage. However, suntempered buildings wilt not reduce the use of purchased energy to the degree that solar buildings will. Passive solar or whole building design. Passive solar is the building itself. A passive solar building makes use of the building's nonmechanical elements and proper ori- entation to provide daytighting; to collect, store, and distribute solar energy; and to take advantage of natural cooling. These buildings have thermal mass to store and emit heat during times when it is needed and to lessen the need for air conditioning. The amount of thermal storage required is dependent on the area of south - facing glass. Care must be taken in selecting glaz- ing so that the solar gains from the southern orientation are maximized. These buildings also employ means to direct natural airflows (solar -drive convective air movement) into the building using such strategies as oper- able windows, vents at floor levet, and wing walls (walls that project from the building) to bring air into the building. Additional ventilation is provided by whole -house fans and operable clerestory or cupola windows. Passive solar buildings may also use night radiation to flush excess heat. This method involves exposing masonry surfaces to the cool night sky and insulating these surfaces ZONINGPRACTICE 4.10 AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATIONIpoge3 from outside air during the day. As daytime temperatures rise, the cooler surface acts as a heat sink for the living space. An ideal design will orient the major work, study, and living areas to the south and minimize the east- and west - facing glass. Even the type of glazing selected for each orientation may differ so that solar gains for south - facing glass are maximized and those for east- and west - facing glass are minimized. Passive solar buildings draw upon at least one of three design strategies to provide heat: direct gain, sunspaces, and thermal storage—or Trombe—walls. Trombe walls are glazed, south - facing masonry or concrete walls with a selective surface that aids in collecting and storing the solar ra- diation. Athermal storage system is often referred to as an indirect system. Passive solar buildings draw upon at least one of three design strategies to provide heat: direct gain, sunspaces, and thermal storage. passive solar buildings since the collectors are likely to be placed at ground level. Ha- waii now requires that all new homes install solar hot water systems. Photovoltaic (PV) systems. PV systems generate electricity. The PV system might be on the building's roof, integrated into its overhangs, or provide the skin for the building's facade or atrium. Distributed power is a term likely to become part of our future vocabulary. Distributed power is PV- generated power that is fed into the utility's grid. In time, if enough buildings generate more power than they need, we will have less need for additional power plants. Ventilation air.

Right. This Federal Express building n Den erusesanabsorber II a help preheat intake air. Passive solar buildings depend on proper glazing -to- storage ratios and prop- erly sized overhangs to avoid overheating in spring and fall. Because these buildings use normal building components to meet much of their heating and cooling needs, they require tittle maintenance. In some climates, a passive solar home or small non- residential building (e.g., a school or office building) may not require a central heating and cooling system —a major cost saving benefit —and those that do require auxiliary heating and cooling will use smaller systems than conventional buildings. Buildings of 10,000 square feet or smaller make up the majority of the non- residential sector. Contrary to popular perceptions, smaller commercial, institu- tional, and industrial buildings are similar to residential buildings in that they do require heating as well as daylighting, cool- ing, and ventilation. For larger buildings, daylighting is especially important since lighting is sometimes the biggest user of energy. Many buildings, regardless of size, can benefit from using solar to heat and to preheat ventilation air. Active solar systems. This refers to the use of collectors, usually located on the roof to collect solar radiation to heat water for domestic uses and possibly, to provide auxiliary heating in the winter months. The systems that provide both hot water and heat are often referred to as combisystems. Some collectors for hot water systems are freestanding, especially when roof orienta- tion is not ideal. For these systems greater solar access is necessary than required for placed on the south side of buildings have proven to be an effective technique to pre- heat ventilation air. Transpired collectors are a dark- colored, perforated facade with a fan, or the building's existing ventilation system draws air into the building. The air space between the absorber and the building wall form a plenum. The solar energy absorbed by the dark absorber and transferred to the air flowing though it can preheat intake air by as much as 4o °F. The absorbers can be added to or designed as part of the build- ing's facade. Because of fire code require- ments, they may not be appropriate for some multistory buildings. Evaporative cooling. This refers to the use ofa water medium to cool air for climate control in dry climates. Not all cli- mates require compressors to cool air and ZONINGPRACTICE 4.10 AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIAnoN 1page4 control humidity inside buildings. Materials that remove moisture from the air are known as desiccants. Desiccant technologies are evolving and can be integrated into evaporative systems for use in all climates.

Local development controls should encourage subdivision layouts that provide for maximum east - west orientation for residential and smaller nonresidential uses. Geothermal heat pumps. The ground maintains a relatively constant temperature of 5o to 6o °F (lo to i6 °C). Thus, the ground temperature is warmer than the air temperature in winter and cooler in the warm months. Geothermal (or ground - source) heat pumps take advantage of the earth's constant temperature to heat and cool buildings. Because the sys- tem is outside the building, geothermal requires more land area than the other techniques discussed above. IMPLICATION FOR LAND -USE CONTROLS Currently, relatively few communities in- clude provisions in their local development controls that ensure that environmental resources can be used to heat, cool, day- light, and electrify buildings. The discus- sion that follows outlines a number of considerations for subdivision and zoning standards that would help private develop- ers build and remodel buildings that are better able to take advantage of access to sotar energy. Subdivision design Local development controls should encour- age subdivision layouts that provide for maximum east -west orientation for residen- tial and smatter nonresidential uses. In the northern hemisphere, major living, work, and study areas should face south (north in the southern hemisphere) to the extent possible. It is easiest to protect solar ac- cess in subdivisions having streets that run east -west or 25 degrees of east -west. Where streets run north- south, cul -de -sacs or loop streets help provide for solar access. For dense development, creative site design is essential. Development standards Yard and height requirements of zoning ordinances can be used to ensure solar access. In an ideal situation, south - facing glazing should receive four hours of sun on December 21. That generally means that there should be no obstruction within an arc of 6o degrees on either side of true south. Relatively good solar access wilt still occur if the glazing is unshaded within an arc of 45 degrees. What the horizontal clear distance needs to be is location- specific and depends on the height of the sub- ject building of interest and the adjacent structures. Boulder, Cotorado, for example, includes shadow lengths by height of building for ao:oo a.m., noon, and 2:oo p.m. on December 21 in its development code. Properly sized overhangs will shade the glazing in the summer when the sun is higher in the sky. Since not all lots are large enough to accommodate optimum solar access, it is important to assess shading patterns in establishing compromises on yard re- quirements. One possible compromise is a flexible approach to building orientation and yard requirements when streets run north - south. With appropriate side yard ZONINGPRACTICE 4.10 AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION 'pages No Structures Allowed Fences Allowed 1 Story Buildings Allowed c LL " 2 Story Buildings Allowed Courtesy of DOE /NREL and the Sustainable Moldings lnduslnes Council Above; Builads' ngs, trees, or other obstructions should not be located so to shade the south wall of solarbuildings. Below: Trees and other landscaping features may be effectively used to shade east and west windows from summer solar Courtesy of DOE /NREL and the Sustainable Buildings Industries Council allowances, buildings that ate oriented perpendicular to the front tot line on north -south streets can still take advantage of solar access. In many cases, there is no reason that the main building axis needs to face the street and that yard requirements cannot be varied to allow for solar access. Obstacles can reduce not only the amount of solar available for winter indoor climate control, they can also limit daylighting and radiation falling on active solar collectors and photovoltaic surfaces. For example, the limbs of a deciduous tree can reduce solar heat gains in passive solar build- ings, and trees on the south side can all but destroy passive solar performance unless they are close to the building, with the tower limbs removed so that winter sun can penetrate under the trees canopies. When used properly, landscaping can provide for shading and ventilation. The ideal for shading is the use of deciduous trees to shade the east, southeast, southwest and west sides of the build- ing and trellises with deciduous vines to shade the east windows during the summer months. Evergreens and shrubs can be used to block prevailing, cold wind in the winter and shade heat - absorbing paved areas during warm seasons. Also, trees, fences, and shrub- bery can be used to channel summer breezes into the building. Daytighting design toots such as ENERGY io, available from the Sustainable Buildings Industries Council, provide a simplified means for accounting for select obstacles and can be used to assist in set - ting yard and landscaping requirements for planned developments. More adequate algorithms for tools such as EnergyPlus are emerg- ing. Planning agencies may wish to draw upon the skills of energy analysts to help them establish yard and landscaping requirements where unique site conditions exist. Paved surfaces such as driveways, walks, and patios can re- flect heat and glare into buildings through glazings. Development standards should encourage impervious surfaces to be located and designed to minimize these effects. Because solar building design requires operable windows for ventilation, the tocation of off - street parking is important. Large parking facilities can be a detriment to indoor air quality if vehicle exhaust is allowed to enter the building through windows or vents. Development standards should keep parking areas away from oper- able windows and vents and ensure that these areas are located so that pi availing breezes do not carry exhaust into buildings. Communities may wish to consider the use of overlay zones or planned unit development restrictions to ensure that solar access is adequate. In some instances, it might be possible to apply the prin- ciples of form -based codes, although that option needs careful study to determine if it would be feasible. Aesthetics need not be an issue in solar building design. There is sometimes a preconceived belief that buildings designed or renovated to use solar are "odd" in appearance. This is a mis- perception. Collectors needed for active solar systems can be roof - integrated and the photovoltaic systems can function as the skin of the building, as roof shingles or standing seam roofing, as glazing for atria and covered walkways, or be integrated into building over- hangs or awnings. As for passive solar buitdings, they can be of any architecturat style. There are no special panels or other special details that announce that a building is passive solar. All its compo- nents or elements are designed as an integral whole beginning at the predesign stage. @This illustration shows how the angle of sunlight changes throughout the year.

CONCLUSIONS The land -use control considerations out- lined above not only are essential to pro- vide for future energy needs and as means to limit global- warming emissions, they need to be looked at as a way to improve the focal (i.e., micro) balance of payments. When less money goes to remote power companies, more of that money can remain in the local economy. And the adoption and enforcement of solar access controls provide the proper environment for the creation of new job skills and employment options for residents. According to a study by the University of California, Berkeley, as many as 1.9 miltion jobs can be cre- ated by 2020. The American Solar Energy Society's study projects 4.5 million jobs by 2030 across all regions and sectors of the economy, with the largest growth occurring in construction, farming, and professional services. After all, tike energy management, economic development is also an integral part of focal planning. Unfortunately, few cities or counties have recognized the need for solar access requirements. For those that have, the steps taken tend to be very limited. Most cities and counties have limited the focus to subdivision regulations, and have not rec- ognized the need to also adjust zoning stan- dards. Even existing development can use whole- buildingsotar design concepts when renovating. Thus, development standards need to provide for solar design options in developed areas. Because solar design is location- specific, no community's standards should be exactly the same as another's, though all need to address the factors out- lined above. Further, even in a given geo- graphical region, there will need to be dif- ferences in the specifics of a standard. For example, Denver's requirements and those of Evergreen, Colorado, which is at a higher elevation, will have different provisions. Some communities have encouraged the use of easements to protect solar ac- cess. While these legal mechanisms will work, it is more efficient and beneficial to have requirements that apply to all proper- ties. Fora community to reduce its demand for energy, greater benefit will occur when all development and renovation decisions recognize and provide for solar access. This statement is also true in southern climates. Contrary to standard belief, even communi- ties in places tike Ftorida and Arizona can benefit by developing land -use controls that require solar access for the building, as well as for the solar hot water and PV panels. In the sunny Southern states the peak energy demand is during wintertime cold spells, not during summer heat waves as in the North. Finally, as more jurisdictions reference HERS (Home Energy Rating Systems) or LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) in their building codes, they wilt need to ascertain the extent to which their modified building codes are in agreement with their land -use controls.
