INTRODUCTION
This memorandum transmits the Final Plat of North Ridge Estates, a resolution and
related materials for City Council review and approval. The submitted Final Plat of
North Ridge Estates is a new subdivision off of Peru Road north of Roosevelt Road
intersection with Peru Road. The City Council reviewed and approved the preliminary
plat for this subdivision at their June 18, 2012 City Council meeting.
DISCUSSION
The submitted Final Plat of North Ridge Estates subdivides approximately 16 acres into
38 single - family lots. The Final Plat includes the construction of two new public streets
— Marisa Ridge and Cayden Court. Both new streets will be built with 31 -foot of paving
and a 50 -foot right -of -way. Marisa Ridge will function as a collector street and will have
parking restricted to one side only. A section of Marisa Ridge will be at 12 percent
grade where 10 percent is the maximum allowed. The City Engineer has reviewed the
grade and does not object to the short section of 12 percent grade.
City staff anticipates future development to the north of the proposed subdivision, and
has directed the developer to stub Marisa Ridge at the north end of the site. A
temporary cul -de -sac will be constructed in the interim. Cayden Court is a short cul -de-
sac street and will have parking on both sides.
Extension of water and sanitary sewer will be from Peru Road and will be extended
throughout the subdivision.
The subject subdivision complies with the Unified Development Code's 40 points of
sustainability by having 100% of the homes comply with the Green Building Code,
utilizing LED street lights within the subdivision, grading will be designed to preserve to
the extent possible existing mature trees on the site, new street trees will be planted in
compliance with the City Street Tree Policy, and the developer will create 15 solar lots —

receiving half the normal 30 points for providing half the required number of lots for the
38 lot subdivision.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution for the Final Plat of North Ridge Estates as
it is compliance with City of Dubuque Unified Development Code, subject to waiving the
maximum grade of 10% for collector streets.
Thank you.

Recommended Motion: Motion to approve the submitted Final Plat of North Ridge
Estates, subject to waiving the maximum collector street grade of 10 percent. The
submitted Final 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 Final 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 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 Final Plat of North Ridge Estates subdivides approximately 16
acres into 38 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.
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 365 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 Final 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 lots, 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 approval of the Final 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.
