MEMORANDUM

TO: Michael Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager ~
RE: Voluntary Annexation Request of Motor City LLC / Wendell Corey
Introduction
This memo transmits a request from Motor City LLC (submitted by Wendell Corey) for
annexation of 75 acres of property north of Asbury Plaza Shopping Center and south of
Derby Grange Road, in conjunction with rezoning the property to PUD Planned Unit
Development with a PC Planned Commercial. A staff report and application materials
concerning the Corey/Motor Cityy LLC request are enclosed.
Discussion
On May 3, 2006, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommended approval of the PC
rezoning of the Corey/Motor City LLC property. This PC rezoning is an extension of the
PC zoning that exists on Mr. Coery's property to the south of the annexation area. This
PC zoned area is already in the city limits and is under development
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 19, 2006 meeting to meet State Code notification
requirements for annexations.
The applicant has 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.
Recommendation
I recommend that a public hearing on the voluntary annexation request of Motor City
LLC be set for the City Council's June 19, 2006 meeting.

Total Area: 80 Acres

Sanitary Sewer: No
Purpose: To rezone to PUD Planned Unit Development District with a PC Planned
Commercial designation, in conjunction with annexation. The requested rezoning is to
facilitate expansion of the Asbury Plaza Business Park, including extension of the
public street, Plaza Drive, to the northwest.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is located north of Asbury Plaza
Shopping Center and Asbury Plaza Business Park. The property is characterized by a
rolling topography that drains primarily to the northwest. It has been used for
agricultural purposes since its settlement.
Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan includes goals
and objectives supporting annexation of land for commercial 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, 2.3, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.2, 8.5,
10.2 and 10.6. The 2002 Proposed Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan
designated this area for commercial and residential development.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: City utilities can be extended to serve the subject property.
ANNEXATION STAFF REPORT - Motor City LLC I Corey
Page 2
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The subject property will be served by an extension of
Plaza Drive to Derby Grange Road. Plaza Drive is the public street that serves
the northeastern portion of Asbury Plaza Shopping Center, currently within the
City of Dubuque corporate limits. Plaza Drive is a city street that intersects with
the Northwest Arterial (Iowa 32) and runs in a northwest direction through Asbury
Plaza. The roadway is being constructed as a collector street that is designed to
carry a large volume of traffic from a portion of the City to another. Based on 2001
lOOT counts, Derby Grange Road carries approximately 650 average daily trips.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the property as
it's developed for residential purposes.
Environment: The rolling topography of this site will require adequate erosion
control during any development of the property and adequate storm water control
after development.
Adjacent Properties: The impact to adjacent properties will mostly be through
increased volume of traffic on Derby Grange Road and an increase in the
ambient light level.
CIP Investments: The City of Dubuque will be coordinating the extension of City
water and sewer into these areas to service the future development of the
property.
Staff Analysis and Recommendation:
The property requested for annexation lies within the urbanized area of the City of
Asbury. Iowa Code allows for these types of voluntary annexation requests be
approved first by the City Council, and then by the State of Iowa's City Development
Board. The property meets Iowa Code requirements for 50 feet of adjacent boundary
for annexation to the City of Dubuque.
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
staff recommendation for an agreement regarding City assistance will provided under
separate cover for the public hearing.
On May 3, 2006, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommended approval of the
proposed PUD with a PC designation.
Staff recommends approval of the annexation request.
