MEMORANDUM
April 25, 2006
TO: Michael Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manage~
RE: Voluntary Annexation Request of Gary and Mary Beth Valentine
Introduction
This memo transmits a request from Gary and Mary Beth Valentine for annexation of
58.62 acres of their property south of North Cascade Road, in conjunction with
rezoning their property to R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential. A staff report
and application materials conceming the Valentines' request are enclosed.
Discussion
On April 5, 2006, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommended approval of R-2 Two-
Family Residential rezoning rather than the R-3 requested by the Valentines. Mr.
Valentine indicated at the meeting that R-2 zoning was acceptable.
The City Council's public hearing on the rezoning request should be held concurrently
with the public hearing on the annexation. Staff recommends that a public hearing be
held at the City Council's June 5, 2006 meeting to meet State Code notification
requirements for annexations.
The applicants have requested City financial assistance to facilitate future residential
development. An agreement for City assistance is being negotiated, and the
recommended agreement will be provided for City Council consideration at the public
hearing.
State law requires that the City annex to the centerline of any adjoining County
secondary road, so 1.52 acres of right-of-way for North Cascade Road is included.
Recommendation
I recommend that a public hearing on the voluntary annexation request of Gary and
Mary Beth Valentine be set for the City Council's June 5, 2006 meeting.

ANNEXATION STAFF REPORT
Council Agenda: June 5, 2006
Property Location: South of North Cascade Road
Property Owner: Gary and Mary Beth Valentine
Legal Description: See Exhibit - Annexation Certificate
Proposed Land Use: Residential
Proposed Zoning: R-3
Existing Land Use: Agricultural
Existing Zoning: County A-1/ R-2 Single-Family
East - Agricultural
South - Agricultural
West - Agricultural
Adjacent Zoning: North - A-1/
C-1 Conservancy
East - A-1/C-1
South ..,.A~1
West -A;1
Adjacent Land Use: North - Agricultural
Flood Plain: No
Total Area: 58.62 acres
Water: No
Existing Street Access: Yes
Storm Sewer: No
Sanitary Sewer: Yes
Purpose: To rezone to R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential for future
development in conjunction with annexation.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is located east of Edval Lane and south
of North Cascade Road. The property is characterized by rolling topography and
generally drains toward the southeast. It has been used for agricultural purposes since
its settlement. The preferred alignment of Iowa 32 (Southwest Arterial) lies
approximately 1,000 feet to the south of the property.
Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan includes goals
and objectives supporting annexation of land for residential development that is readily
served by City infrastructure and utilities. This request is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Element: Goals 1.2, 1.5, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.6.
The 2002 Proposed Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan designated this area for
residential development.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: City utilities can be extended to serve the subject property. The timing
of utility extension is dependent on the development of adjacent properties. City
ANNEXATION STAFF REPORT - Valentine
Page 2
water and sewer facilities will be extended through the NCR development to
serve the subject property.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: Traffic patterns and counts likely will be consistent with
similar mixed residential subdivisions in the Dubuque community.
Public Services: Existing public services will be adequate to serve the site once
it's developed for residential purposes.
Environment: The rolling topography and floodplain characteristics of this site will
require adequate erosion control during any development of the property and
adequate storm water control after development.
Adjacent Properties: The applicants at this time do not have immediate plans for
development of the property, but the impact to adjacent properties will mostly be
through the increase in traffic along North Cascade Road and an increase in
ambient light levels.
CIP Investments: The City of Dubuque intends to place the reconstruction of
North Cascade Road, including the two curves heading up the hill west of Catfish
Creek, in its Five Year Capital Improvement Program. It is the intent of the City to
perform the work subject to the availability of funds within six years.
Staff Analysis and Recommendation:
The property requested for annexation lies outside the urbanized area of any other city.
Iowa Code allows for these types of voluntary annexation requests be approved first by
the City Council, and then by the Secretary of State. The property meets Iowa Code
requirements for 50 feet of adjacent boundary for annexation to the City of Dubuque.
State law requires that the City annex to the centerline of any adjoining County
secondary road, so 1.52 acres of right..of-way for North Cascade Road is included.
The property is included in the City's 1996-1997 Annexation Study as a preferred area
for annexation due to its proximity to the City limits, infrastructure and utilities. The
applicant has requested City financial assistance to facilitate development of housing.
The staff recommendation for an agreement regarding City assistance will provided
under separate cover for the public hearing.
On April 5, 2006, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommended approval of rezoning
to R-2 Two-Family Residential rather than the R-3 requested by the Valentines. Mr.
Valentine indicated at the meeting that R-2 zoning was acceptable.
Staff recommends approval of the annexation request.
