Dubuque IA 52001
Applicant:
Location:
Description:
David Leapaldt, GL T Architects/Loras College
Southeast Corner of Cox Street & 17th Street
To amend the Loras College 10 Institutional District to allow
construction of an athletic arena/wellness center and parking lot.
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
The applicant spoke in favor of the request, reviewing the proposed Athletic and
Wellness Center, alternative locations for the Center that were considered, use and
layout of the facility, and seating capacity during games and special events.
Staff reviewed surrounding land uses, existing parking lots owned by Loras College
and availability of City sanitary sewer and water service. Staff reviewed parking
requirements for athletic facilities and likely impacts to surrounding properties.
There were several public comments regarding adverse impacts associated with the
construction and operation of the new Athletic and Wellness Center, including parking,
property values and structural problems to adjacent properties resulting from
excavation and foundation work.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, noting that the applicant's
civil engineer reviewed the foundation construction, indicating that surveys can be
done on surrounding residential structures to establish if any physical damage is done
to residential homes as a result of construction. The Commission discussed the
provision of off-street parking and concluded that adequate parking is provided for the
daily operation of the facility and that Loras College provides sufficient campus parking
for their student enrollment, faculty and staff.

e'LORAS COLLEGE
1450 Alta Vista' P.O. Box 178 . Dubuque, IA 52004-0178 . (319) 588-7100
In October 2005, plans were announced to break ground on our new Athletic and
Wellness Center in May/June 2006. The facility will be located in close proximity to the
majority of student housing and will link with the most accessed student facilities: the
Academic Resource Center and the Alumni Campus Center. Included in this new atWetic
center will be:
. an arena for basketball and volleyball with a capacity of2,000
. an Athletics Hall of Fame Room and outdoor patio
. expanded fitness and wellness facilities
. Duhawk retail space
The future components of the campaign are slated to include the following:
. new athletic administration and coach's offices
. demolition and relocation ofthe existing Physical Plant
. a walkway connecting the new Athletic and Wellness Center to the existing
Alumni Campus Center
. a 200-meter indoor track
. renovations to the existing Graber Sports Complex
The facility will offer the entire Dubuque community a new option for hosting events,
exhibits, and concerts. We have a strong connection with the Dubuque community and
are passionate about being an active member of this community. Loras has an
economic impact of over $150 million annually on the area's economy. The long-
term economic impact of the new athletic and wellness center to the community
could total in the range of $6 - 7 million annually in additional economic activity.
Here are just a few of the additional partnerships we have established with the city of
Dubuque:
. Approximately, 100 different organizations each year use Loras College for
hosting meetings and events.
. The Loras College Academic Resource Center serves as a valuable resource for
community members. Community members have full access to the Center for
Dubuque History, the government library, and our entire book and publication
collection.
. Loras hosted the NCAA Division III National Wrestling Tournament in Dubuque
at the Five Flags Center, adding almost $1. 5 million in spending to the
community.
. Approximately 30% of our students remain in the Greater Dubuque community
upon graduation.
. Faculty, staff, and students volunteer at approximately 100 organizations each
year throughout Dubuque.
. Approximately 25 students each year partner with local organizations to perform
internships. We have worked with over 50 different organizations to place these
Loras interns.
. The Loras College All-Sports Camp attracts 2,400 youth campers each summer.
The camp has been running for 22 years and brings youth and their families into
Dubuque from all areas of the United States. It has also proven to be a great
recruiting tool for Loras College.
. Loras provides over 25 opportunities each year for the community to join us for
lectures, art exhibits, plays, and other events.
. We offer monthly exhibits at the Loras College Planetarium for students in our
community (approximately 2,000 visitors/year).
. Over 500 of our students live off campus within the greater Dubuque community.
. The Medical Associates Health Plan Recombinant DNA Laboratory - the only
one among the state's private colleges - is housed at Loras College
. The Center for Dubuque History is housed in our Academic Resource Center.
The new athletic and wellness center will have a significant impact on student
recruitment and retention. Currently, over 80 % of our students participate in intramurals
and almost 40% of our students are involved in intercollegiate athletics. State-of-the-art
wellness facilities are an integral aspect of the campus culture for our health-conscience
students of today. Equally as important, we look forward to yet another opportunity for
Loras College to partner with the Dubuque community.
It should also be noted that while this is a significant enhancement to the facilities on
campus, there is an additional 83 parking stalls being added at this time to service the
facility. Adding that to our existing 1,108 spaces, which currently exceeds the 1,075
spaces that was established by Ordinance No. 001-02 approved January 21, 2002, Loras
has dedicated close to 9 acres or 14% of campus to parking. It is also suggested that it is
Loras College's intent to make sure that the special events which fallout side of those
activities that presently are being accommodated on campus such as basketball,
volleyball, musical presentations, etc. will receive special consideration as to parking and
provide shuttle service to the extent that it positively enhances these activities.
This new facility is critical to ensuring that Loras College students have access to athletic
and recreational facilities sufficient to promote health and physical fitness; and to balance
the three interrelated goals of academic achievement, spiritual understanding, and
physical fitness.

Storm Water Run-Off Calculations
IIW Project No: 05027-02
Dear John:
Per our discussion at the progress meeting held at city hall on Friday, December 16th is a
narrative of the results of the storm water run-off calculations performed for the drainage
that will impact 17'" St. and the ball field towards the southern portion of the site.
The information tabulated below indicates the estimated quantity of pre-developed drainage
and the estimated amount of run-{)ff which will occur following development of the A WC
site.
Storm Event
2-Year
IO-Year
loo-Year
Drainage To 17'" St.
Pre-Developed (cfs) Post-Developed (cfs)
1.81 1.62
3.13 2.50

Drainage To Ball Field
Pre-Developed (efs) Post-Developed (efs)
0.49 10.26
2.22 15.78
5.83 23.77
The table above titled Drainage to 17'" St., summarizes the quantity of run-{)ff which is
directed to 17'" St. The quantities tabulated show both existing run-{)ff as pre-developed
amounts and the volume generated following placement of improvements as post-developed
quantities.
The table labeled Drainage to Ball Field, is a tabulation of quantities of run-off which will
be addressed by a detention area which will be established in the area of the existing ball
field before the slope drops down to 16'" St. The purpose for this will be to detain the
difference in the amount of run-{)ff between what is generated as the site now exists and
what will be generated following the placement of improvements. It will be designed to
address a 100 year storm event.
Please call if you have any questions.

Planned District Staff Report - Loras College Athletic and Wellness Center Page 4
the new 83-space parking lot and existing off-street parking available on the campus
that sufficient parking is available for the operation of the new facility. As pointed out in
the material provided by Loras College, they have a total of 1,108 off-street parking
spaces currently on campus. Loras College officials have also indicated that a typical
attendance at a volleyball or basketball game is approximately 800 people. The arena
has a 2,000 seat capacity. Attendance includes a significant portion of students who
live on campus, or in close proximity, and would walk to the arena rather than drive.
Planning staff anticirates that once the 83-space lot is filled and the 49-space lot on the
north side of W. 1 i Street is filled, that on-street parking along W. 17th Street, Cox
Street, and possibly West 16th Street will be utilized by people attending events at the
new facility. Loras College officials have also indicated that during special events, that
special consideration will be made for parking as well as providing shuttle service to
accommodate attendees. Loras College officials have also pointed out that volleyball
and basketball games are currently being held on campus at the Field House, which
does not have any dedicated off-street parking spaces.
Planning staff believes that the 83-space lot being provided adjacent to the new athletic
and wellness center is sufficient to meet typical parking demand for the facility, except
during high attendance athletic events and other special events. The institutional
district parking requirements would stipulate that 333 spaces be provided for the
proposed facility. If the 83-space lot plus the 49-space lot on the north side ofW. 17th
Street is added together, Loras College would still be short approximately 200 parking
spaces. However, unless those 200 parking spaces are provided in close proximity to
the proposed facility, people would still be parking on W. 17th, Cox Street and West 16th
Street as these are closer to the facility than any off-street parking facility Loras could
conceivably construct. The Zoning Advisory Commission does have the authority to
approve the Institutional district amendment and require off-street parking less than
what is outlined in the institutional district regulations.
The proposed athletic and wellness center has been reviewed by City staff in terms of
being able to serve the facility with City water and sanitary sewer. The proposed facility
can be adequately served by existing water and sanitary sewer mains. The City
Engineering Department has also reviewed the project, on a preliminary basis,
regarding storm water control. Storm water from the new AWC as well as associated
paved surfaces will be controlled and directed toward existing storm water facilities in
Faber-Clark Field and will not be allowed to drain directly over land onto surrounding
City streets and property. Prior to issuance of building permits, a detailed storm water
study will be required to be submitted to City Engineering Department staff for-review
and approval.
The City of Dubuque Fire Department has also reviewed the proposed project in terms
of providing emergency services to the site, if need be. The Fire Department is
satisfied adequate access is provided to the facility for emergency equipment and that
the building will be designed with state-of-the-art smoke and fire detection and sprinkler
systems.
. Planned District Staff Report - Loras College Athletic and Wellness Center Page 5
Loras College officials have met and are planning to meet with surrounding
neighborhood residents to present and review the proposed project, and to receive
input regarding any concerns or problems anticipated by the proposed development.
This process had not been completed at the time of the writing of this staff report. In
addition, notices of the proposed amendment to the Loras College Institutional District
were sent out by regular mail to property owners within 200 feet of the entire boundary
of the Loras College Institutional District campus. Planning staff anticipates that the
most likely impact to surrounding residential property would be occasional increased
demand for on-street parking during athletic or other special events being held at the
new facility.
Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review Section 3-5.5
of the Zoning Ordinance that establishes criteria for the review of proposed
amendments to institutional districts.

is on the public street in front of our house. Our parking situation has become increasing
more difficult since Loras College built the new building a cross from us on Loras. We
would have been better off if they hadn't taken down the chain link fence they put up
while they were building. Loras told us that there would be ample parking for that
facility, but the parking they do have is too far away and has a parking fee. Naturally,
students are going to park closer and pay nothing by parking on the public streets. We. '_00
and other neighbors have complained about the situation, but Loras comments by saying,
"It is a public street and anyone can park there."
This makes things very difficult for us when we come home with our groceries and have
to park way up the street to get our groceries into our house. We have had to park way
up the street to unload our car after coming home from a weekend stay with our children.
We and our neighbors are very considerate of one another. We don't park in front of
their houses, unless our spot is filled and no others exist. Then we move our car as soon
as the space is open. What is worse, sometimes the college student will park their car on
this street and leave with another student in another car for the weekend. As you know,
this is a short one block street, which makes it difficult to fmd spots to park for our
company, let alone the college students. One year, a college student parked their car
away from the curb too far and it remained snowed in until the spring thaw. The man
who plows our street apologized to us, because he did not have enough room to plow
down our street. That was several years ago, but I'm mentioning it to let you know that
we have had a parking problem on this street for years. Loras College is not a partner
with the neighborhood. Loras has no intention of helping with this. As far as they are
concemed,it is our problem. If they tell you they will be providing adequate parking,
don't you believe it.
Iurge you to think twice about changing any zoning to allow Loras to build any more in
this area. I am sure it will create a huge parking problem for those of us who have lived
here for years. I thank you for your ear in this matter and hope there is something you
can do, so that we can all live together being considerate of one another.
Sincerely,

RE: Proposal to amend the Loris College ill Institutional District to allow construction of an
athletic arenalwellness center and parking lot. I would be against it until they finish what they
have started.
As the owner of 1525 Aha Vista from approximately 1978, let me try to update everyone on
Loras's Keane Hall Parking Lot history. Approximately 1985 they got an extension, tore down
houses along Loras and expanded the parking lot with the agreement they were going to
"beautifY the existing Darking lot." They did nothing. About three years ago we survived the
pipe for the new Library going through the parking lot. They then proceeded to place half of
what we call the base to the arch de triumph in the parking lot along with two trees along an
"entrance" to Keane Hall which apparently required the removal of two parking places on the
street and the permission to do so(???) About two years ago, at the meeting with the
neighborhood we were .assured "the Keane Hall parking lot plans were in and it would be
comDleted bv the end of the vear. Again, nothing. I now feel Loras will tell you anything you
want to hear to get their way.
As far as specific problems existing with the present arrangement of the Keane Hall Parking lot:
I. Snow gets plowed into Vernon St or at best they ignore the fact that there is a
sidewalk between the parking lot and Vernon. Snow, depending on amounts flows
onto the existing alley the cuts through the parking lot between Loras and Vernon to
the point its down to one lane at times with parking.
2. A good southwest wind brings all the trash into our yards
3. Students are using the handicapped sidewalk ramp at the comer of Aha Vista and
Vernon as a vehicle shortcut to enter lexit the lot.
4. With Keane Hall now glowing in light, is it possible to get any relief in lighting the
parking lot.
5. Buses need a place to park in the lot rather then assume thefue zone or No Parking
Areas which run most of the block between Keane and the Field House are for their
convenience. Ever tried watching TV with running bus just outside your house?
I would hope they don't claim that the parking lot was grandfathered in before parking lot
regulations became popular as they themselves have altered it to some degree and have removed
several of their own parking spaces for the "entrance" and half of the arch in the cornerplus two
on street.
PLEASE, before you let them continue to disrupt neighborhoods with more parking lots, require
them -before starting anything new, to clean up and bring under code the Keane Hall Parking lot
as they said they would do as far back as 1985 or whatever year they extended it. Also get a plan
in writing which gives them a timeline for completion
Thanking you for your consideration of this matter before any more approvals,
