Dubuque, IA 52001
Members of the City Council;
I would like to address my concerns about the rezoning of QHQ/
Wal-Mart Stores site from C-3 to a PUD District. I am not opposed
to this rezoning. However, after reviewing the situation with
respect to the City's desire for the access road from Asbury to
Wal-Mart's Sam's Club and the adjoining properties including my
property at 4616 Asbury Road to be private, I realize that this will
place a substantial liability on me.
I should not be expected to move my access from Asbury Road to
the proposed private road and accept the liability for whatever may
occur on that road.
I believe that the access road from Asbury Road to Sam's Club
should be a city street. If the road is to be private, I will need to be
protected from any liability from any issues that may arise in the
future.
SiIlferely,

MEMORANDUM
December 14, 2005
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
c
SUBJECT: Sam's Club PUD - Revised Ordinance
Planning Services Manager Laura Carstens is transmitting the Sam's Club PUD revised
ordinance.
Wal-Mart,lnc. and aHa Properties have agreed with the City that the streets in the
Sam's Club project will all be private. However, aHa Properties did meet with me
asking me to change my recommendation to the City Council and make the northerly
entrance to Sam's Club from the Northwest Arterial a public road.
Also, Chuck Nauman has submitted a letter to the City Council asking that the southerly
entrance road to Sam's Club from Asbury Road be public, but if not, that the City
indemnify him against any future liability arising from the entrance road.
I advised aHa Properties that I would not change my recommendation. I also take this
same position with Mr. Nauman's request. While these entryways pass by some C-3
zoned property, they are merely a glorified entrance to the Sam's Club parking lot.
At my request, Planning Services Manager Laura Carstens has provided information on
three planned unit developments in the City that have public streets. I do not think that
any of these other developments are similar enough in circumstances to the Sam's Club
project to change my recommendation from private to public streets.
I have included with this memorandum the November 17, 2005 material I sent you
showing seven other planned unit developments that have private streets.
Very late in this process, Wal-Mart insisted that the City become party to a five-party
development agreement with Wal-Mart, aHa Properties, Chuck Nauman and
Resurrection Church, like the City does with economic development projects that
involve City incentives. I believe the PUD ordinance is all that is necessary between the
City and Wal-Mart . No development agreement is part of this presentation to City
Council.
Accepting these accesses as public streets would add maintenance and snow plowing
responsibility to the City and hundreds of thousands of dollars of future replacement
costs. I do not believe this should be a taxpayer obligation.
I respectfully recommend Mayor and City Council approval of the PUD ordinance.

ARC Design Resources, Inc. from C-3 General Commercial to PUD Planned Unit
Development District with a Planned Commercial designation to allow the development
of a new Sam's Club at the northeast corner of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road.
DISCUSSION
The City Council reviewed the requested rezoning at the November 21, 2005 Council
meeting. At that meeting, City staff reviewed several outstanding issues that had not
been resolved, including:
1) Dedication of proposed north and south access roads to the City for public
maintenance.
2) Construction of an additional eastbound thru lane on Asbury Road from the
Northwest Arterial to the new entrance into the proposed Sam's Club.
3) Installation of intermediate landscape islands in the proposed Sam's Club
parking lot.
The applicant, Joe Altenhoff, ARC Design Resources, Inc., representing Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc., indicated during his presentation that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. would install
intermediate parking lot islands in the Sam's Club lot as required.
The City Council discussed the outstanding issues, and after closing the public
hearing, indicated that the north and south access roads would remain as private
roadways and also require that all pavement markings, street signage and posted
speed limits would be consistent with City street standards and subject to review and
approval by the City Engineering Department.

new eastbound thru lane, but that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. would be financially
responsible for all costs related to this improvement. The ordinance also includes that
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. would be responsible for all design work as approved by the City
Engineer.
The attached Sam's Club PUD Ordinance was revised to include the agreed upon
changes. The PUD language shown in bold text is the same as previously considered
at the City Council's November 21 at and December 5th meetings. At the writing of this
memorandum, however, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. has not agreed on the revised PUD
Ordinance language or the cost of the additional east bound thru-Iane. City staff
anticipates that by the December 19, 2005 City Council meeting, that Wal-Mart stores,
Inc. will have made a decision on the eastbound thru lane and will either present their
issues to the City Council at the December 19th meeting or will have signed the
acceptance form for the Sam's Club PUD Ordinance.
Additional ordinance changes recommended by City Legal staff that haven't been
considered previously by the City Council are shown in crossed-out text and in blue
underlined text. These changes are:
~ Section G. Performance Standards. has been revised to delete reference to
a development agreement between the City, Wal-Mart Stores, QHQ

method for Wal-Mart Stores to secure payment to the City for the new
eastbound thru lane.

Members of the City Council;
I would like to address my concerns about the rezoning of QHQ/
Wal-Mart Stores site from C-3 to a PUD District. I am not opposed
to this rezoning. However, after reviewing the situation with
respect to the City's desire for the access road from Asbury to
Wal-Mart's Sam's Club and the adjoining properties including my
property at 4616 Asbury Road to be private, I realize that this will
place a substantial liability on me.
I should not be expected to move my access from Asbury Road to
the proposed private road and accept the liability for whatever may
occur on that road.
I believe that the access road from Asbury Road to Sam's Club
should be a city street. If the road is to be private, I will need to be
protected from any liability from any issues that may arise in the
future.
Sinferely,
l)jJ~~i:JA--

MEMORANDUM
December 12, 2005
FROM:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager ,~
SUBJECT: Planned Unit Development Districts with Public Streets
TO:
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum provides information on three planned unit development (PUD)
districts that are served by public streets within the PUD. The Westmark PUD located
at the southwest corner of the Northwest Arterial and Pennsylvania Avenue, approved
in 1991, the Medical Associates PUD located east of the Northwest Arterial and
Chavenelle Road, approved in 1994, and Plastic Center, Inc. PUD located at the
southeast corner of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road, approved in 2001.
DISCUSSION
Both Medical Associates and Westmark PUDs are currently developed with some
vacant land yet to be developed. Both these PUDs are served by public streets that run
through the development and connect with adjacent public street system. Plastic
Center lnc.'s PUD was approved in 2001, but, to date, has not begun development.
The conceptual plan provided for extensions of existing City streets from the
surrounding residential areas through the residential portion of the development.
Approximately 80 acres of the 160 acre site is designated for commercial development.
Access to the commercial area is shown with two accesses on the Northwest Arterial
and one access on Asbury Road. Neither the conceptual plan nor the adopted PUD
ordinance establish whether these streets within the commercial area will be public or
private. This issue will have to be decided at the time when a detailed site development
plan is submitted for review and approval.
Please review the information in this memorandum and contact me if you need
additional information or clarification.

November 17, 2005
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Review of Traffic Impact Study
Sam's Club Development
IA 32 (Northwest Arterial) at Asbury Road
The proposal presented by Wal-Mart for the Sam's Club development does not include
a second eastbound lane on Asbury Road between the Northwest Arterial and their
signalized access intersection.
It is the recommendation of the Engineering Department to extend dual eastbound
lanes from Asbury Road at the Northwest Arterial through the proposed intersection
serving Sam's Club at Asbury Road. The current proposal by ARC Design, Inc. allows
for only a single eastbound through lane along this section of Asbury Road. The
addition of a second eastbound through lane would greatly reduce the delay and
storage issues that are present along Asbury Road between Holliday Drive and the
Northwest Arterial.
Sam's Club also would like the City to take over the two access roads to the site, one off
the Northwest Arterial and one off of Asbury Road, as public streets.
The City of Dubuque has seven major commercial plazas zoned Planned Unit
Development with a PC Planned Commercial Development designation and only one,
Asbury Plaza, has a public street serving individual businesses. Most of the Asbury
Plaza streets are private, but one is public because it serves a substantial amount of
property outside of the development and will eventually connect to Derby Grange Road.
They are also objecting to the installation of landscape islands in their parking lots.
Recent commercial developments, like Asbury Plaza and the Port of Dubuque, have
been required to install landscape islands.
I respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval to require the additional
eastbound lane, landscape islands in the parking lots, and to leave the entry roads as
private streets.

Review of Traffic Impact Study
Sam's Club Development
IA 32 (Northwest Arterial) at Asbury Road
TO:
FROM:
INTRODUCTION
The following is a review of the traffic impact study for the proposed Sam's Club
development in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of IA 32 (Northwest Arterial)
and Asbury Road.
BACKGROUND
The proposed 18-acre development will include Sam's Club (135,000 square feet) and a
gas station with 12 fueling positions, scheduled for completion in the fall of 2006. The
submitted Traffic Impact Study includes adjacent property already zoned C-3 General
Commercial which increases the area included in the traffic study to 29 acres.
There will be three access points:
1. A south entrance on Asbury Road 800 feet east of the Northwest Arterial/Asbury
Road intersection. The south entrance on Asbury Road matches up with street
access for the Plastic Center Planned Unit Development that was submitted in
2000.
2. A right-in/right-out access on the Northwest Arterial is proposed opposite the
existing right-in/right-out access for Asbury Plaza. Both intersections are 1,000
feet north of the Northwest Arterial/Asbury Road intersection.
3. A north entrance on the Northwest Arterial is proposed that will connect with the
existing signal at Plaza Drive. This intersection was originally designed in 2004 to
accommodate a fourth leg to the intersection.
Page 2
November 16, 2005
The commercial corridor of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road has experienced
rapid growth in the last five years. Currently there are three studies underway to
improve this traffic flow:
. A traffic signal warrant study for Holliday Drive and the Northwest Arterial. This
proposed signal will help off-load northbound left turning traffic onto Asbury
Road. There is also a project underway to add a northbound left-turn lane at
Holliday Drive and Asbury Road.
. The Iowa Department of Transportation has retained the consulting firm of HDR
to conduct a Northwest Arterial Operations Study. This study extends the entire
length of the corridor and is similar to a study they conducted along US 20 prior
to the recent improvements along that corridor. HDR has reviewed the Sam
Club's traffic impact study and their comments have been incorporated into
comments submitted to ARC Design who developed the Traffic Impact Study for
Sam's Club, by the City.
. The City of Dubuque will be conducting an east/ west corridor study this winter.
The purpose of this study is to find alternate east/west corridors so that vehicular
traffic is less dependent on US 20 for intercity traffic and to improve the existing
corridors.
DISCUSSION
The study predicts the initial year (2006) will generate approximately 6,135 total daily
trips and 11,401 total daily trips where development adjacent to existing commercially
zoned land is completed in 2011.
The traffic impact scope analyzed each of the following four intersections at three
separate time periods for Intersection Levels of Service (LOS):
1. Asbury Road/Holliday Drive.
2. Asbury Road/Northwest Arterial.
3. Northwest Arterial/Plaza Drive.
4. Asbury Road/John F. Kennedy Road.
The study found that significant increases to the length of the turning-lane storage are
needed at:
. Asbury Road/Holliday Drive: Both eastbound and westbound left-turn storage.
. Asbury Road/Northwest Arterial: Eastbound left-turn storage.
. Asbury Road/John F. Kennedy Road: Eastbound left-turn storage issues. (This
enhancement may not be a direct impact from this proposed development.)
Page 3
November 16, 2005
It was also recommended that traffic signals be installed at the proposed south entrance
to Asbury Road and that the signal be interconnected with existing signals at the
Northwest Arterial and Holliday Drive for improved traffic progression. Based on
ARC Design's review of the current site plan, the capacity issues along Asbury Road
can be improved by:
Northwest Arterial at Asburv Road
. Creating dual westbound lanes on Asbury Road for additional storage starting
near the Church of the Resurrection property.
. Changing the current westbound through/right lane into a dedicated through lane
and building a new exclusive right-turn lane on Asbury Road.
Asburv Road at Sam's Club South Entrance
. Installing a new signalized intersection that will be interconnected to the
Northwest Arterial signal system. This will be designed to accommodate a future
fourth leg serving the Plastic Center development to the south.
. Creating a dedicated westbound right-turn lane into the development.
. Providing Church of the Resurrection access to this signalized intersection.
Northwest Arterial at Plaza Drive
. Build a fourth leg to this intersection that will give Sam's Club, the future
development of commercial property owned by QHQ Properties, and the Church
of the Resurrection access from the north side of the development.
. This north entrance will have dedicated left, through lane and right-turn lanes to
accommodate future development of the commercial lots and access to the
Church of the Resurrection.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The proposed roadway and intersection changes associated with the Sam's Club
development should diminish many of the existing storage issues for westbound traffic
at the Northwest Arterial/Asbury Road intersection. It is the recommendation of the
Engineering Department to extend dual eastbound lanes from Asbury Road at the
Northwest Arterial through the proposed intersection serving Sam's Club at Asbury
Road. The current proposal by ARC Design, Inc. allows for only a single eastbound
through lane along this section of Asbury Road. The addition of a second eastbound
through lane would greatly reduce the delay and storage issues that are present along
Asbury Road between Holliday Drive and the Northwest Arterial. The City of Dubuque
is currently investigating the feasibility of building a dedicated eastbound right-turn lane
on Asbury Road between Holliday Drive and the Northwest Arterial.

November 16,2005
CONCLUSION
Based on available information, the Engineering Department feels that the proposed
Sam's Club development and the anticipated traffic can be accommodated by an
additional eastbound through lane from the Northwest Arterial to the new Asbury Road
access, along with the outlined roadway system and signal improvements in the traffic
impact study, conceptual plan, and this memo.

SUBJECT: Private Drives within existing Commercial Plazas
INTRODUCTION
The proposed development of a new Sam's Club discount store on the northeast corner
of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road includes the dedication by the developer to
the City of two proposed cul-de-sac streets. This memorandum reviews existing
commercial plazas in the City of Dubuque that are served only by private roadways and
the concerns of City staff regarding the acceptance of the proposed public streets in the
Sam's Club development.
DISCUSSION
The City of Dubuque has seven major commercial plazas zoned PUD Planned Unit
Development with a PC Planned Commercial designation:
~ Warren Plaza (Target, Hy-Vee)
~ Wacker Plaza (Advanced Auto Parts, Blockbuster Video)
~ Kennedy Mall
~ Asbury Plaza (Hy-Vee, Kohl's, Star Cinema)
~ Plaza 20 (K-Mart)
~ Wal-MarULowe's
~ Key Gate Center (Dairy Queen, Lincoln True Value Hardware)
All the commercial plazas, except Asbury Plaza, do not have any public streets serving
the individual businesses within the commercial development. Asbury Plaza have a
public street, Plaza Drive. However, Plaza Drive will serve property outside of the
Asbury Plaza development and will eventually connect to Derby Grange Road to the
northwest.
City staff have concerns about the acceptance of the two proposed cul-de-sac streets in
the Sam's Club development. They would not have the same high priority as Asbury
Road or the Northwest Arterial in terms of snow and ice removal. Also, the proposed
Private Drives within existing Commercial Plazas
November 16, 2005
Page 2
cul-de-sacs on the north and south sides of the proposed Sam's Club development will
only serve a few other properties and will not be extended beyond the development
itself. Public streets are already provided in adjoining developments of Resurrection
Church or Harvest View Estates.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the proposed cul-de-sac streets for the Sam's Club
development be constructed and maintained as private streets and not dedicated to or
accepted by the City.

SUBJECT: Parking Lot Landscaping Requirements for Sam's Club PUD
INTRODUCTION
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is proposing construction of a new Sam's Club at the northeast
corner of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road. As part of the PUD (Planned Unit
Development) Ordinance for the project, landscaped islands are required at the end of
parking rows as well as intermediate islands to break up long rows of parking that
exceed 20 spaces in length. .
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is objecting to the requirement for intermediate islands because
the proposed Sam's Club is at the corporation's minimum parking ratio of 4.78 spaces
per 1,000 square feet of floor area. The City's Zoning Ordinance requires four spaces
per 1,000 square feet of floor area for retail businesses.
DISCUSSION
The draft PUD Ordinance for the Sam's Club project includes the requirement that
intermediate islands be placed in rows of parking spaces that exceed 20 spaces in
length. Recent commercial projects, such as Asbury Plaza and the Port of Dubuque,
have been required to install these types of islands to help soften the impact of large
paved areas. The Port of Dubuque Design Standards require landscaped islands at the
ends of rows and every 12th stall. The requirement for intermediate islands is not part of
the City's Zoning Ordinance; however, the PUD section of the Zoning Ordinance
indicates that conditions may be required to protect and promote the best interest of the
surrounding properties or the neighborhood. Planning staff believes that because of the
size and scale of the proposed project, intermediate islands are appropriate for this
project.
This issue was not raised at the Zoning Advisory Commission meeting on November 2,
2005, so staff has provided this memorandum to provide additional background on this
issue for the City Council meeting on November 21, 2005. If you have any questions or
require further information, please contact me at your earliest convenience.

SUBJECT: Sam's Club Planned Unit Development Ordinance
INTRODUCTION
The City Council approved the first reading of a rezoning request by ARC Design
Resources, Inc. from C-3 General Commercial to PUD Planned Unit Development
District with a Planned Commercial designation to allow the development of a new
Sam's Club at the northeast comer of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road.
DISCUSSION
The City Council reviewed the requested rezoning at the November 21, 2005 Council
meeting. At that meeting, City staff reviewed several outstanding issues that had not
been resolved, including:
1) Dedication of proposed north and south access roads to the City for public
maintenance.
2) Construction of an additional eastbound thru lane on Asbury Road from the
Northwest Arterial to the new entrance into the proposed Sam's Club.
3) Installation of intermediate landscape islands in the proposed Sam's Club
parking lot.
The applicant, Joe Altenhoff, ARC Design Resources, Inc., representing Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc., indicated during his presentation that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. would install
intermediate parking lot islands in the Sam's Club lot as required.
The City Council discussed the outstanding issues, and after closing the public hearing,
indicated that the north and south access roads would remain as private roadways and
also require that all pavement markings, street signage and posted speed limits would
be consistent with City street standards and subject to review and approval by the City
Engineering Department.

new eastbound thru lane, but that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. would be financially
responsible for all costs related to this improvement. The ordinance also includes that
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. would be responsible for all design work as approved by the City
Engineer.
The attached revised Ordinance for the Sam's Club Planned Unit Development District
includes the agreed upon changes (in bold), however, at the writing of this
memorandum, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. has not officially agreed to paying for the
additional eastbound thru-Iane. City staff anticipates that by the December 5, 2005 City
Council meeting, that Wal-Mart stores, Inc. will have made a decision on the eastbound
thru lane and will either present their issues to the City Council at the December 5th
meeting or will have signed the acceptance form for the Sam's Club Planned Unit
Development District Ordinance.

CHAPTER I -INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Part A - Proiect Description
This Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was performed to determine the effects of the
proposed development in Dubuque, Iowa, on the surrounding transportation system. All
impacts of the development were examined to assess the capacity of the infrastructure's
ability to support the additional traffic generated by the development.
The proposed development is located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection
of Iowa Highway 32 (Northwest Arterial) and Asbury Road, on the northwest side of
Dubuque, Iowa. It consists of approximately 29 acres, which will be developed into a mix
of commercial uses, including a Sam's Club discount club and gas station, and five
additional outlots to the north of the Sam's Club site. One full access point onto Iowa State
Highway 32 (Northwest Arterial), one full access point onto Asbury Road, and one right-
in/right-out (RIRO) access onto Northwest Arterial are proposed. Construction is scheduled
to begin in 2005. with completion of the Sam's Club and Gas Station in 2006, and full build-
out by 2010. Traffic conditions were analyzed at all site access locations, at the intersection
of Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road, at the intersection of ASbury Road and Holliday
Drive, and at the intersection of Asbury Road and John F. Kennedy Road. As required by
the City of Dubuque, two horizon years (in addition to the buildout year of 2006) were
analyzed for all intersections - 2011 and 2026. Both the AM Peak Hour and PM Peak Hour
were analyzed at all locations and in all analysis years. Refer to Exhibits I-I and 1-2 for a
location map and a proposed site plan.
Part B - Land Use, Site, and Studv Area Boundaries
The development consists of a Sam's Club discount club, a gas station, access roads
connecting the site to Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road, and five outlots to the north of
Sam's Club.
The study area includes Asbury Road from Holliday Road to John F. Kennedy Road.
and Northwest Arterial from Asbury Road to Plaza Drive. The main accesses to the
development will be on Asbury Road approximately 800 feet to the east of Northwest
Arterial and on Northwest Arterial approximately 1000 feet to the north of ASbury Road, and
at Plaza Drive. These are the locations analyzed in this report.
Part C - Existina and Proposed Site Uses
The site is currently agricultural land. The proposed development is a mixture of
commercial land uses. The proposed uses are as follows:
Complete in 2006 [Construction Yearl
. Sam's Club discount club (135,000 square feet (SF))
. Gasoline/Service Station (12 fueling positions)
Complete bv 2011 (Intermediate Horizonl
. High-turnover sit down restaurant (9,000 SF)
. Drive-in bank (3 drive-in lanes)
. Fast food with drive-through (4,000 SF)
. High-turnover sit down restaurant [7,000 SF)
. Specialty retail center (30,000 SF)
Part D - Existina and Proposed Roadwavs and Intersections
The existing local roadway network consists primarily of Northwest Arterial and Asbury
Road. Northwest Arterial is a four-lane arterial with a posted speed limit of 50 miles per hour
(MPH). Asbury Road is a two-lane collector, with a posted speed limit of 35 MPH. The
existing intersections affected by the development are the intersections of Northwest
Arterial with Asbury Road and with Plaza Drive, and the intersections of Asbury Road with
Holliday Drive and with John F. Kennedy Road.
Access to the site is proposed via a right-in, right-out access from Northwest Arterial.
at a location approximately 1000 feet north of Asbury Drive a'nd approximately 1000 feet
south of Plaza Drive. Full access points are proposed at the existing intersection of
Northwest Arterial and Plaza Drive, and at a new intersection located on Asbury Road
approximately 850 feet east of Northwest Arterial.
Part E -Improvement Analvsis
Sianal Warrants For Asbury Road and Proposed Entrance
Two-way STOP control analysis was completed on the proposed intersection of
Asbury Road and the Sam's Club entrance. The southbound left-turn movement would
operate at level-of-service (LOS) F with 2006 traffic, with a delay for that movement of157.5
seconds in the afternoon peak hour. Traffic signals are not warranted at this location in
2006 or 2011; however, the platooning created by traffic signals would aid traffic entering
and exiting Resurrection School. Further, coordination of traffic signals at the proposed
intersection with the existing traffic signals at Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road would
minimize the queuing between the intersections and assure that traffic does not back up
through either the proposed entrance or the existing Resurrection School entrance. It
should also be noted that, if Resurrection School connects their existing drive to the
proposed Sam's Club entrance (and closes the existing entrance), the additional traffic
would likely cause Condition B of Traffic Signal Warrant 1 to be met.
Intersection Levels-oF-Service and Needed Improvements
Based upon discussions with City of Dubuque Engineering staff, the reql!ired LOS for
each movement in each horizon year is as follows:
. 2006 - LOS C
. 2011 - high LOS D
. 2026 - LOS E
Each system intersection was analyzed using the appropriate module of Highway
Capacity Software. Based upon analysis of the system intersections using Highway
-I
?-
Capacity Software, the following improvements are needed for the roadway to operate at
the above levels-of-service:

PLANNING SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Dear Mr. Kritz:
Following our meeting w~h City of Dubuque representatives on September 15, 2005, I sent a
written reply to Or. Timothy J. Quagliano regarding his request to connect to the sanitary sewer located
on the Church of the Resurrection property. The letter stated the following:
In my vis~ with you on August 31, 2005, in response to your request for a sanitary sewer
connection, the Church of the Resurrection responded as follows:
1 . The Church of the Resurrection will grant an easement to connect to the san~ary sewer
after receiving an approved engineer's drawing for the preferred connection on
Resurrection property. The City of Dubuque requires that this connection must be
approved by the City. The cost for any upgrades to the existing sanitary sewer will be the
responsibility of Sam's Club or other developers of your property.
2. Resurrection property must be restored to pre-construction conditions.
3. The owner of Sam's Club or successors will be responsible for any malfunction of the
sanitary sewer effecting the Church of the Resurrection property.
4. The Church of the Resurrection requests an easement across your adjoining property,
on the north end of Resurrection property, for access to the Northwest Arterial.
5. The curb cut to Conlon Property, from Resurrection Property, will be closed and mailbox
relocated to Asbury Road if required.
Some additional requests have arisen since my telephone visit with you, and we desire to make
you aware of them. The Church of the Resurrection requests that a fence, like the one installed by
Fidelity Bank and Trust, be used between Sam's Club and the Church property. This fence would be in
addition to any screening requited by the City of Dubuque zoning requirements. The Church also
requests that adequate trash controls be required to prevent trash from spreading to the church property.
I will be pleased to visit w~h you about any of these matters if you have any questions or concerns.
I can be reached at 556-4092.

Dear Dr. Quagliano:
Representatives from the City of Dubuque requested a meeting with representatives from the
Church of the Resurrection regarding some potential traffic concerns, with the construction of Sam's Club
next to the church's property. This meeting was held on September 15, 2005.
We shared with the city representatives our request, of you, for an easement across your
adjoining property, on the north end of Resurrection property, for access to the Northwest Arterial. They
did not object to this access and felt it would assist with some of the traffic concerns they had for Asbury
Road.
In my visit with you on August 31, 2005, in response to your request for a sanitary sewer
connection, the Church of the Resurrection responded as follows:
1 . The Church of the Resurrection will grant an easement to connect to the sanitary sewer
after receiving an approved engineer's drawing for the preferred connection on
Resurrection property. The City of Dubuque requires that this connection must be
approved by the City. The cost for any upgrades to the existing sanitary sewer will be the

2. Resurrection property must be restored to pre-construction conditions.
3. The owner of Sam's Club or successors will be responsible for any malfunction of the
sanitary sewer effecting the Church of the Resurrection property.
4. The Church of the Resurrection requests an easement across your adjoining property,
on the north end of Resurrection property, for access to the Northwest Arterial.
5. The curb cut to Conlon Property, from Resurrection Property, will be closed and mailbox
relocated to Asibury Road if required.
Some additional requests have arisen since my telephone visit with you, and we desire to make
you aware of them. The Church of the Resurrection requests that a fence, like the one installed by
Fidelity Bank and Trust, be used between Sam's Club and the Church property. This fence would be in

MEMORANDUM

TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Review of Traffic Impact Study
Sam's Club Development
IA 32 (Northwest Arterial) at Asbury Road
'~'~',
The proposal presented by Wal-Mart for the Sam's Club development does not include
a second eastbound lane on Asbury Road between the Northwest Arterial and their
signalized access intersection.
It is the recommendation of the Engineering Department to extend dual eastbound
lanes from Asbury Road at the Northwest Arterial through the proposed intersection
serving Sam's Club at Asbury Road. The current proposal by ARC Design, Inc. allows
for only a single eastbound through lane along this section of Asbury Road. The
addition of a second eastbound through lane would greatly reduce the delay and
storage issues that are present along Asbury Road between Holliday Drive and the
Northwest Arterial.
Sam's Club also would like the City to take over the two access roads to the site, one off
the Northwest Arterial and one off of Asbury Road, as public streets.
The City of Dubuque has seven major commercial plazas zoned Planned Unit
Development with a PC Planned Commercial Development designation and only one,
Asbury Plaza, has a public street serving individual businesses. Most of the Asbury
Plaza streets are private, but one is public because it serves a substantial amount of
property outside of the development and will eventually connect to Derby Grange Road.
They are also objecting to the installation of landscape islands in their parking lots.
Recent commercial developments, like Asbury Plaza and the Port of Dubuque, have
been required to install landscape islands.
I respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval to require the additional
eastbound lane, landscape islands in the parking lots, and to leave the entry roads as
private streets.

Review of Traffic Impact Study
Sam's Club Development
IA 32 (Northwest Arterial) at Asbury Road
TO:
SUBJECT:
INTRODUCTION
The following is a review of the traffic impact study for the proposed Sam's Club
development in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of IA 32 (Northwest Arterial)
and Asbury Road.
BACKGROUND
The proposed 18-acre development will include Sam's Club (135,000 square feet) and a
gas station with 12 fueling positions, scheduled for completion in the fall of 2006. The
submitted Traffic Impact Study includes adjacent property already zoned C-3 General
Commercial which increases the area included in the traffic study to 29 acres.
There will be three access points:
1. A south entrance on Asbury Road 800 feet east of the Northwest Arterial/Asbury
Road intersection. The south entrance on Asbury Road matches up with street
access for the Plastic Center Planned Unit Development that was submitted in
2000.
2. A right-in/right-out access on the Northwest Arterial is proposed opposite the
existing right-in/right-out access for Asbury Plaza. Both intersections are 1,000
feet north of the Northwest Arterial/Asbury Road intersection.
3. A north entrance on the Northwest Arterial is proposed that will connect with the
existing signal at Plaza Drive. This intersection was originally designed in 2004 to
accommodate a fourth leg to the intersection.
I ..
Page 2
November 16, 2005
The commercial corridor of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road has experienced
rapid growth in the last five years. Currently there are three studies underway to
improve this traffic flow:
. A traffic signal warrant study for Holliday Drive and the Northwest Arterial. This
proposed signal will help off-load northbound left turning traffic onto Asbury
Road. There is also a project underway to add a northbound left-turn lane at
Holliday Drive and Asbury Road.
. The Iowa Department of Transportation has retained the consulting firm of HDR
to conduct a Northwest Arterial Operations Study. This study extends the entire
length of the corridor and is similar to a study they conducted along US 20 prior
to the recent improvements along that corridor. HDR has reviewed the Sam
Club's traffic impact study and their comments have been incorporated into
comments submitted to ARC Design who developed the Traffic Impact Study for
Sam's Club, by the City.
. The City of Dubuque will be conducting an easU west corridor study this winter.
The purpose of this study is to find alternate easUwest corridors so that vehicular
traffic is less dependent on US 20 for intercity traffic and to improve the existing
corridors.
DISCUSSION
The study predicts the initial year (2006) will generate approximately 6,135 total daily
trips and 11,401 total daily trips where development adjacent to existing commercially
zoned land is completed in 2011.
The traffic impact scope analyzed each of the following four intersections at three
separate time periods for Intersection Levels of Service (LOS):
1. Asbury Road/Holliday Drive.
2. Asbury Road/Northwest Arterial.
3. Northwest Arterial/Plaza Drive.
4. Asbury Road/John F. Kennedy Road.
The study found that significant increases to the length of the turning-lane storage are
needed at:
. Asbury Road/Holliday Drive: Both eastbound and westbound left-turn storage.
. Asbury Road/Northwest Arterial: Eastbound left-turn storage.
. Asbury Road/John F. Kennedy Road: Eastbound left-turn storage issues. (This
enhancement may not be a direct impact from this proposed development.)
Page 3
November 16, 2005
It was also recommended that traffic signals be installed at the proposed south entrance
to Asbury Road and that the signal be interconnected with existing signals at the
Northwest Arterial and Holliday Drive for improved traffic progression. Based on
ARC Design's review of the current site plan, the capacity issues along Asbury Road
can be improved by:
Northwest Arterial at Asburv Road
. Creating dual westbound lanes on Asbury Road for additional storage starting
near the Church of the Resurrection property.
. Changing the current westbound through/right lane into a dedicated through lane
and building a new exclusive right-turn lane on Asbury Road.
Asburv Road at Sam's Club South Entrance
. Installing a new signalized intersection that will be interconnected to the
Northwest Arterial signal system. This will be designed to accommodate a future
fourth leg serving the Plastic Center development to the south.
. Creating a dedicated westbound right-turn lane into the development.
. Providing Church of the Resurrection access to this signalized intersection.
Northwest Arterial at Plaza Drive
. Build a fourth leg to this intersection that will give Sam's Club, the future
development of commercial property owned by QHQ Properties, and the Church
of the Resurrection access from the north side of the development.
. This north entrance will have dedicated left, through lane and right-turn lanes to
accommodate future development of the commercial lots and access to the
Church of the Resurrection.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The proposed roadway and intersection changes associated with the Sam's Club
development should diminish many of the existing storage issues for westbound traffic
at the Northwest Arterial/Asbury Road intersection. It is the recommendation of the
Engineering Department to extend dual eastbound lanes from Asbury Road at the
Northwest Arterial through the proposed intersection serving Sam's Club at Asbury
Road. The current proposal by ARC Design, Inc. allows for only a single eastbound
through lane along this section of Asbury Road. The addition of a second eastbound
through lane would greatly reduce the delay and storage issues that are present along
Asbury Road between Holliday Drive and the Northwest Arterial. The City of Dubuque
is currently investigating the feasibility of building a dedicated eastbound right-turn lane
on Asbury Road between Holliday Drive and the Northwest Arterial.
Page 4
November 16, 2005
CONCLUSION
Based on available information, the Engineering Department feels that the proposed
Sam's Club development and the anticipated traffic can be accommodated by an
additional eastbound through lane from the Northwest Arterial to the new Asbury Road
access, along with the outlined roadway system and signal improvements in the traffic
impact study, conceptual plan, and this memo.

SUBJECT: Private Drives within existing Commercial Plazas
INTRODUCTION
The proposed development of a new Sam's Club discount store on the northeast corner
of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road includes the dedication by the developer to
the City of two proposed cul-de-sac streets. This memorandum reviews existing
commercial plazas in the City of Dubuque that are served only by private roadways and
the concerns of City staff regarding the acceptance of the proposed public streets in the
Sam's Club development.
DISCUSSION
The City of Dubuque has seven major commercial plazas zoned PUD Planned Unit
Development with a PC Planned Commercial designation:
~ Warren Plaza (Target, Hy-Vee)
~ Wacker Plaza (Advanced Auto Parts, Blockbuster Video)
~ Kennedy Mall
~ Asbury Plaza (Hy-Vee, Kohl's, Star Cinema)
~ Plaza 20 (K-Mart)
~ Wal-MartlLowe's
~ Key Gate Center (Dairy Queen, Lincoln True Value Hardware)
All the commercial plazas, except Asbury Plaza, do not have any public streets serving
the individual businesses within the commercial development. Asbury Plaza have a
public street, Plaza Drive. However, Plaza Drive will serve property outside of the
Asbury Plaza development and will eventually connect to Derby Grange Road to the
northwest.
City staff have concerns about the acceptance of the two proposed cul-de-sac streets in
the Sam's Club development. They would not have the same high priority as Asbury
Road or the Northwest Arterial in terms of snow and ice removal. Also, the proposed
Private Drives within existing Commercial Plazas
November 16, 2005
Page 2
cul-de-sacs on the north and south sides of the proposed Sam's Club development will
only serve a few other properties and will not be extended beyond the development
itself. Public streets are already provided in adjoining developments of Resurrection
Church or Harvest View Estates.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the proposed cul-de-sac streets for the Sam's Club
development be constructed and maintained as private streets and not dedicated to or
accepted by the City.

SUBJECT: Parking Lot Landscaping Requirements for Sam's Club PUD
INTRODUCTION
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is proposing construction of a new Sam's Club at the northeast
corner of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road. As part of the PUD (Planned Unit
Development) Ordinance for the project, landscaped islands are required at the end of
parking rows as well as intermediate islands to break up long rows of parking that
exceed 20 spaces in length.
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is objecting to the requirement for intermediate islands because
the proposed Sam's Club is at the corporation's minimum parking ratio of 4.78 spaces
per 1,000 square feet of floor area. The City's Zoning Ordinance requires four spaces
per 1,000 square feet of floor area for retail businesses.
DISCUSSION
The draft PUD Ordinance for the Sam's Club project includes the requirement that
intermediate islands be placed in rows of parking spaces that exceed 20 spaces in
length. Recent commercial projects, such as Asbury Plaza and the Port of Dubuque,
have been required to install these types of islands to help soften the impact of large
paved areas. The Port of Dubuque Design Standards require landscaped islands at the
ends of rows and every 12th stall. The requirement for intermediate islands is not part of
the City's Zoning Ordinance; however, the PUD section of the Zoning Ordinance
indicates that conditions may be required to protect and promote the best interest of the
surrounding properties or the neighborhood. Planning staff believes that because of the
size and scale of the proposed project, intermediate islands are appropriate for this
project.
This issue was not raised at the Zoning Advisory Commission meeting on November 2,
2005, so staff has provided this memorandum to provide additional background on this
issue for the City Council meeting on November 21, 2005. If you have any questions or
require further information, please contact me at your earliest convenience.

RE: Rezoning
Applicant: Arc Design Resources, Inc.lQHQ Properties
Location: 4310 Asbury Road
Description: To rezone property from C-3 General Commercial District to PUD
Planned Unit Development with a PC Planned Commercial District
designation.
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
Joseph Altenhoff of Arc Design Resources, Inc., the applicanUagent representing Wal-
Mart Stores, Inc., spoke in favor of the request, reviewing the proposed development of
a Sam's Club and noting proposed accesses to the Northwest Arterial and Asbury
Road. The applicant reviewed the location of the 135,000 square foot building, parking
lot, proposed discount gas station and screening.
Staff reviewed surrounding zoning and land use and noted that City staff has been
working with Resurrection Church representatives and other adjacent property owners
on access and sanitary sewer service issues.
There were no public comments. A letter from Resurrection Church was received and
filed by the Commission.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, discussing with the applicant
and City Engineering representative Dave Ness changes to Asbury Road and the
proposed signal at the development's entrance to Asbury Road. The Commission
discussed screening adjacent to Resurrection Church's property and required that a
fence be installed in addition to the plantings along the east side of the property. The
draft PUD Ordinance has been modified to reflect this requirement.

The draft PUD Ordinance also has been modified to reflect access improvements to
Asbury Road and Northwest Arterial intersections, internal access to adjacent
properties, and sanitary sewer extension to Resurrection Church.
Recommendation
By a vote of 5 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council
approve the request.
A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.
The draft PUD ordinance functions as an agreement between the City of Dubuque, the
developer, and the property owner - similar to a conditional rezoning request. The
developer and the property owner must agree in writing to the terms and conditions of
the PUD ordinance as approved by the City Council for the rezoning to be valid.
Respectfully submitted,

PLANNED DISTRICT STAFF REPORT
Zoning Agenda: November 2, 2005
Project Name: Sam's Club
Property Address: 4310 Asbury Road
Property Owner(s): aHa Properties/Kevin and Nancy Conlon
Applicant:
ARC Design Resources, Inc.
Proposed Land Use: Commercial
Proposed Zoning: PUD/PC
Existing Land Use: Agricultural/residential
Existing Zoning: C-3
Adjacent Land Use: North - Agricultural
East - Religious
South - Residential
West - Commercial
Adjacent Zoning: North - C-3
East- R-1
South - C-3
West - PC
Flood Plain: No
Total Area: 18.6 acres
Water: Yes
Existing Street Access: Yes
Storm Sewer: Yes
Sanitary Sewer: Yes
Previous Planned District: None.
Purpose: The requested rezoning is to allow the development of a new Sam's Club
with access to Asbury Road and the Northwest Arterial.
Property History: The subject property included in this rezoning request includes
property owned by Kevin and Nancy Conlon and aHa Properties. The aHa Properties
parcel was rezoned in March 2004 by the City Council from AG Agricultural District to
C-3 General Commercial District. The property owned by Kevin and Nancy Conlon was
rezoned from Agricultural District to C-3 General Commercial District by the City Council
on June 20, 2005.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is located near the northeast corner of
the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road. The subject property lies above the grade of
the surrounding streets and is bordered on the east by Resurrection Church.
Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan's 2002 Land Use
Map designates the property as a mixture of commercial, multi-family and open space.
The project involves the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Element: Goals 2.2, 7.2, 7.3,
9.2 and 10.1.
Planned District Staff Report - 4310 Asbury Road
Page 2
Staff Analysis:
Streets: Access to the development is proposed to be from Asbury Road and the
Northwest Arterial. The proposed single access to Asbury Road will be located
approximately 800 feet east of the Northwest Arterial. Right-in/right-out access is
proposed 1,000 feet north of Asbury Road and a connection is proposed to the
existing signalized intersection that serves Kohl's and the new Star Cinema theater
on the north side of the project.
Sidewalks: Sidewalks currently exist along Asbury Road. Any section of the
sidewalks damaged or removed as part of the construction of the proposed project
is required to be replaced to City standards.
Parking: Off-street parking will be provided on the site at a ratio of 4.72 spaces/
1,000 square feet of commercial space. This exceeds the City's parking
requirement for retail sales.
Lighting: New outdoor lighting will be required to be a 72-degree cutoff light fixture.
Signage: None proposed at this time.
Bulk Regulations: The proposed Sam's Club will be built in substantial compliance
with the attached conceptual plan.
Permeable Area (%) & Location (Open Space): Approximately 80 percent of the
subject property will be covered by impermeable surface.
Landscaping/Screening: . The submitted conceptual plan provides for landscaping
and screening adjacent to the Northwest Arterial as well as landscaping and
screening between the Resurrection Church property and the proposed
commercial development.
Phasing of development: None.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: City water mains are located in Asbury Road and along the east side of
the Northwest Arterial. The proposed Sam's Club will be served by a connection
to the City's water main on Asbury Road and a future loop will be created when
the water main is tied into the 16" water main on the Northwest Arterial. Sanitary
sewer service for Sam's Club will come through an existing line that serves
Resurrection Church. The sanitary sewer service will be expanded from six-inch to
eight-inch pipe and be extended through the site to serve the existing commercial
lots along Asbury Road as well as future development of property owned by aHa
Properties on the north side of the site.
Planned District Staff Report - 4310 Asbury Road
Page 3
Traffic Patterns/Counts: Asbury Road is classified as a minor arterial and based
on 2001 lOOT counts, carries approximately 12,500 average daily trips. The
Northwest Arterial is classified as a major arterial and carries approximately 9,000
average daily trips north of Asbury Road.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts to the environment
provided adequate erosion control is provided during all phases or construction
and that adequate storm water detention is provided as part of the project.
Adjacent Properties: Adjacent properties will be impacted by an increase in the
ambient light level at night and an increase in the volume of traffic utilizing
surrounding roadways.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: ARC Design Resources, Inc. is proposing rezoning of approximately
18.5 acres from C-3 General Commercial District to PUD Planned Unit Development
District with a PC Planned Commercial District designation. The proposed rezoning is
to facilitate construction of a new Sam's Club near the northeast corner of the
Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road. The subject property is currently owned by QHQ
Properties, Inc. and Kevin and Nancy Conlon.
Three accesses to the subject site are proposed. The first access will be from a
signalized intersection on Asbury Road approximately 800 feet east of the intersection
of the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road. The second access will be a right-in/right-
out access to the Northwest Arterial 1 ,000 feet north of Asbury Road, The third access
will connect to the existing signalized intersection on the Northwest Arterial 2,000 feet
north of Asbury Road.
The applicant has provided a traffic impact analysis for the proposed development. A
copy of the executive summary is attached. The Engineering Department has provided
a written review of the submitted traffic study outlining their review and conclusions.
The subject property can be served by both City water and sewer. City water is
available on both Asbury Road and the east side of the Northwest Arterial. Sanitary
sewer service will be provided through an extension of the sanitary sewer that currently
serves the Resurrection Church property. This sewer line must be upgraded from a six-
inch line to an eight-inch line. The sewer system will be extended through the Sam's
Club development to serve existing commercially zoned lots on the south and north
sides of the proposed development.
Planned District Staff Report - 4310 Asbury Road
Page 4
The proposed development will also include a storm water detention basin on the south
side of the project immediately north of Asbury Road, which is the lowest point of the
development. Storm water management for this site will be reviewed in detail by City
Engineering staff as part of the submittal of the detailed site plan.
The proposed development encompasses a Sam's Club of approximately 135,000
square feet and a gas station/car wash located adjacent to the Northwest Arterial right-
of-way. There is existing commercially-zoned property along both Asbury Road and
north of the proposed Sam's Club. These parcels are currently zoned C-3 General
Commercial and are not part of this rezoning request. The submitted conceptual plan
does include providing access to existing commercially-zoned lots north and south of
the proposed Sam's Club. No additional curb cuts onto Asbury Road or the Northwest
Arterial would be necessary to serve these lots. The developer is proposing to dedicate
these roadways as public streets. City staff is concerned that these roadway's function
similar to an internal street system for a commercial plaza, and not as true public
streets that are part of the City's overall street network.
The proposed Sam's Club and gas station will create a total of 686 off-street parking
spaces. This submitted conceptual plan indicates that these parking spaces, both in
terms of their size and drive aisle, meets the City's minimum design standards for
parking lots. Lighting of the parking lot and buildings will be required to utilize cut-off
light fixtures to minimize the impact to adjacent properties.
The property included in this rezoning request is currently zoned C-3 General
Commercial. The parcel owned by QHQ Properties was rezoned in March 2004 and
the parcel owned by Kevin and Nancy Conlon was rezoned in June 2005 to their
current commercial classification. The Sam's Club proposal requires rezoning of the
property to a PUD classification. The City's Zoning Ordinance requires that department
stores over 60,000 square foot and regional shopping centers be rezoned to a PUD
classification. The Zoning Ordinance does not include a definition of a department
store. However, given the wide range of products and services offered by a Sam's Club
and the scale of the proposed building, Planning staff has determined that the intent of
the Ordinance language is to require such large commercial developments to be
approved under the PUD classification.
Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review Section 3-5.5
of the Zoning Ordinance that establishes criteria for the review of PUD requests.
