MEMORANDUM
June 8, 2006
TO: Michael Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager ~
RE: Herrig Rezoning Request Concurrent with Annexation
John and Sally Jo Herrig have requested voluntary annexation of 112.10 acres of
property south of Derby Grange Road, in conjunction with rezoning the property to R-3
Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential, C-3 General Commercial, and AG
Agricultural. This item is set for public hearing at the City Council's June 19, 2006
meeting.
On May 3, 2006, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommended approval of R-2 Two-
Family Residential rezoning rather than the R-3 requested by the Herrigs. The
Commission also recommended that the C-3 District utilize the rear yard setback of
20% lot depth.
At your request, I contacted John Herrig, regarding his request for R-3 rezoning versus
the Commission's recommendation for R-2 rezoning and a 20% 20% rear yard setback
in the C-3 zone. Mr. Herrig is agreeable with the R-2 rezoning, but wants to discuss
the 20% rear yard setback in the C-3 zone.
Enclosed is an ordinance with R-2 rezoning for the Herrig request.

Proposed Land Use: Residential/Commercial
Proposed Zoning: R-3/C - 3 AG
Existing Land Use: Agricultural - A-I
Honorable Mayor, City Council Members, City Manager and Staff:
At the Zoning Advisory Commission meeting, the Commission recommended the request of
R-3 Residential would be more desirable to R-2 Residential zoning. This recommendation to
Jolm Herrig (Applicant) is acceptable if the City Council should wish same.
As to the C-3 General Commercial District, the Zoning Advisory Commission approved
same, but, recommended a 20% rear lot setback. Normally a 0% lot line set back is standard.
This would not be acceptable to John Herrig (Applicant) being to restrictive as to not
knowing what future request for development might occur, therefore, limiting the ability to
market said parcels.

Applicant:
Location:
Description:
John & Sally Jo Herrig
South of Derby Grange Road, Dubuque County
To rezone property from County A 1 Agricultural District to City AG
Agricultural District, R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential
District, and C-3 General Commercial District in conjunction with
annexation to the City of Dubuque.
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 conceptual layout of streets
and zoning, noting that future platting of the property will refine the street and lot
layouts. The applicant reviewed that an extension of Plaza Drive will serve the
property and be connected to Derby Grange Road.
Staff reviewed the requested rezoning, noting allowed uses for both R-3 and C-3
Districts. Staff reviewed utility extensions necessary to serve the subject property.
There were two public comments concerning the rezoning expressing reservations
regarding multi-family residences adjacent to existing single-family homes,
maintenance of existing fence lines and allowed commercial uses in C-3.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, noting that the R-3 District
allows a range of housing styles but that a blanket R-3 may not be advisable in this
location. The Commission also discussed concern for the proposed C-3 zoning
regarding the allowable uses and setbacks.
Recommendation
By a vote of 7 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City
Council approve the request subject to the following conditions:
Service
People
Integrity
Responsibility
Innovation
Teamwork
John and Sally Jo Herrig, south of Derby Grange Road

Page 2
a) That the area designated for residential be designated R-2 Two-Family
Residential District.
b) That the proposed C-3 General Commercial District utilize the rear yard
setback of 20 percent of lot depth regardless of zoning of adjacent
property.
A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request with the
conditions recommended by the Zoning Advisory Commission. The owner must also
agree in writing to the conditions. A super majority vote is needed for the City Council
to either eliminate or modify the conditions, and to approve the R-3/C-3 rezoning as
requested by the owners.

REZONING STAFF REPORT
Zoning Agenda: May 3, 2006
Property Address: 13316 &13500 Derby Grange Road
Property Owner: John W. & Sally Jo Herrig
Applicant: John W. Herrig
Proposed Land Use: Residential/commercial
Proposed Zoning: R-3/C-3/AG
Existing Land Use: Agricultural
Existing Zoning: County A-1
Adjacent Land Use: North - Residential
East - Agricultural
South - Agricultural
West - Residential
Adjacent Zoning: North - County A-1
East - County A-1
South - County A-1
West - County A-1
Former Zoning: 1934 -N/A; 1975 - N/A;
1985 - County A-1
Total Area: 112 Acres
Property History: The subject property has been used for agricultural purposes since its
settlement
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is characterized by rolling topography
that drains primarily to the northwest.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The proposed rezoning involves the
Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Element: Goal 1.2, 1.5,2.2,2.3,6.1,6.2,6.3,7.2,
8.5, 10.2 and 10.6.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: City utilities will have to be extended to the subject property to serve the
proposed developments. City water will be extended along the right-of-way of
Plaza Drive through property owned by Motor City LLClWendell Corey. Sanitary
sewer will also have to be extended northward through the Motor City LLClWendell
Corey property and will have to utilize lift stations and force mains to bring the flow
back toward the City of Dubuque where the City's existing gravity sewer system
can accommodate the additional flows from the proposed development.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The proposed area for rezoning will be served by an
extension of Plaza Drive and also have access to Derby Grange Road. Based on
2001 lOOT counts, Derby Grange Road carries approximately 650 average daily
trips.
Rezoning Staff Report - 13316 & 13500 Derby Grange Road
Page 2
Public Services: Existing public services can serve the proposed site once it
develops.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment
provided adequate erosion control is provided during all phases of development
and storm water detention is provided in compliance with City of Dubuque
Ordinances and policies.
Adjacent Properties: The most likely impacts to adjacent properties will be
additional vehicle trips on surrounding roadways and higher ambient light level than
existing in the area.
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: The applicants are requesting rezoning of the subject property to a
combination of R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential District and C-3 General
Commercial District concurrent with annexation to the City of Dubuque. This project
encompasses 112 acres and includes approximately 37 acres that will remain zoned
agricultural upon annexation.
The applicants have included a schematic design of how the property may be laid out
for commercial and residential development. All the proposed streets would be public
streets and meet City requirements for right-of-way and construction standards. Access
to the street would be through an extension of Plaza Drive, which currently serves only
Asbury Plaza. Plaza Drive will be extended through the Motor City LLClWendell Corey
development to a point on the south side of the Herrig property and be extended to
Derby Grange Road. Derby Grange Road is a county roadway that carries
approximately 650 average daily trips based on 2001 lOOT counts. The extension of
Plaza Drive from the Northwest Arterial to Derby Grange Road has been contemplated
by the City for a number of years.
The area of the requested rezoning/annexation by the Herrigs and Motor City
LLClWendell Corey is commonly referred to as the northwest quadrant of the
community. This area is bounded by Asbury Road on the south, Hales Mill Road to the
west, Derby Grange Road to the north and John F. Kennedy Road to the east. The
Northwest Arterial cuts through the southeast portion of this quadrant, and with the
extension of Plaza Drive, will provide an important roadway to serve this area of the
community. Without Plaza Drive, all future development in this quadrant of the
community, whether it be in Dubuque County, the City of Asbury, or the City of
Dubuque, would have to use either Hales Mill Road, Derby Grange Road, or John F.
Kennedy Road to access the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road.
City utilities will have to be extended to the Herrig property through the area proposed
for development by Motor City LLClWendell Corey. The City is working with both
Rezoning Staff Report - 13316 &13500 Derby Grange Road
Page 3
developers to provide these utilities to meet their timetables and a level of service to
serve their proposed developments. The Zoning Advisory Commission will see more
details on the utility and street systems once plats are submitted for the Herrig
development.
The applicants are requesting that the area along side the proposed extension of Plaza
Drive be zoned for C-3 General Commercial, where the balance of the property is
zoned R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential, which allows a range of housing
styles from single-family to six units in a building to allow apartments, townhouses or
condominiums. The westerly 37 acres is slated to remain as agricultural when it comes
into the City pending further review by the developer.
Planning staff recommends the Zoning Advisory Commission review Section 6-1.1 of
the Zoning Ordinance that establishes criteria for the review of rezoning requests.

Existing Land Use: Agricultural - A-I
Honorable Mayor, City Council Members, City Manager and Staff:
At the Zoning Advisory Commission meeting, the Commission recommended the request of
R-3 Residential would be more desirable to R-2 Residential zoning. This recommendation to
John Herrig (Applicant) is acceptable if the City Council should wish same.
As to the C-3 General Commercial District, the Zoning Advisory Commission approved
same, but, recommended a 20% rear lot setback. Normally a 0% lot line set back is standard.
This would not be acceptable to John Herrig (Applicant) being to restrictive as to not
knowing what future request for development might occur, therefore, limiting the ability to
market said parcels.

Total Area: 112 Acres
Property History: The subject property has been used for agricultural purposes since its
settlement.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is characterized by rolling topography
that drains primarily to the northwest.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The proposed rezoning involves the
Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Element: Goal 1.2, 1.5,2.2, 2.3, 6.1,6.2,6.3, 7.2,
8.5, 10.2 and 10.6.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: City utilities will have to be extended to the subject property to serve the
proposed developments. City water will be extended along the right-of-way of
Plaza Drive through property owned by Motor City LLClWendell Corey. Sanitary
sewer will also have to be extended northward through the Motor City LLClWendell
Corey property and will have to utilize lift stations and force mains to bring the flow
back toward the City of Dubuque where the City's existing gravity sewer system
can accommodate the additional flows from the proposed development.

extension of Plaza Drive and also have access to Derby Grange Road. Based on
2001 IDOT counts, Derby Grange Road carries approximately 650 average daily

Public Services: Existing public services can serve the proposed site once it
develops.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment
provided adequate erosion control is provided during all phases of development
and storm water detention is provided in compliance with City of Dubuque
Ordinances and policies.
Adjacent Properties: The most likely impacts to adjacent properties will be
additional vehicle trips on surrounding roadways and higher ambient light level than
existing in the area.

water and sewer into these areas to service the future development of the property.

Property.
6. The loans provided under paragraphs 5 and 6 are being made for services to
principally residential development. Any benefit to future commercial development is
incidental only.

c. For the third year, forty-five percent (45%).
d. For the fourth year, thirty percent (30%).
e. For the fifth year, fifteen percent (15%).

Dubuque County. Lots sold after that date shall receive the partial exemption
percentage only for the remaining years of the five-year period.
8. City agrees to waive the $1,000 rezoning fee.
9. Failure by Developer to pay any connection fee when due shall constitute a
material breach of this Agreement for which City may suspend further performance of its
obligations under this Agreement until such breach is remedied.
10. This Agreement shall apply to and bind the heirs, successors, and assigns of
the parties.
11. All understandings and agreements, if any, previously made between the
parties hereto are merged in this Agreement, which alone fully and completely

Agreement may not be modified except by an amendment executed by both of the
parties.

CITY OF DUBUQUE
PLANNING SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
We would like to address the issue of the rezoning requested by John & Sally Herrig of the land that is
south of our property JTom County A I Agricultural to City AG Agricultural District, R-3 Moderate Density
Multi-Family Residential District and C-3 General Commercial District.
The Zoning Advisory Commission recommended R-2 Two-Family ResidentiaJ and C-3 General
Commercial District witb a 20 percent setback. The City of Dubuque's Proposed Future Land Use Map
designates this entire property for mixed residential uses. Cornrnercialland use is not: in compliance with
the proposed draft land use plan We would like to see this land zoned R-l Single-Family only with perhaps
R-2 Jiningthe collector 'street, not C-3. ThiswouJd comply with the long-range plan for this area.
We are also concerned about the collector street location. Will there be adequate reaction time fOT traffic
turning on and olf oflhe collector street? It is so close to the top on the hill. Will a tralTtc light be
necessary'! What about the water run otrJTom all the roots and streets Will that be directed through our
property?
Why is city taxpayer money being used to construct a lift station, streets and sewer to allow John Herrig to
achieve financial gain with minimal risk or expense? How wHl the city get back this investment?
We believe these changes benetit the City of Duhuque and the neighboring property owners. We ask that
the City Council refer this matter back to the Zoning Board for further hearing, and direct the Developer to
revise his plans and continue to work with us to develop a plan that we can all embrace
Respectfully,
~J::e~

Honorable Mayor and City Councilmen:
Re: Zoning of Proposed Commercial Property by John/Sally Jo Herrig
Zoning of Proposed Residential Property"I"""""'I"'III'IIIII'!"'II"'I'II""1
We are Douglas and Eileen Coates and live at 13102 Derby Grange Rd.
We own and operate the County Agricultural land located directly
East of the proposed Commercial area on the Herrig property.
It seems very unreasonable to allow commercial zoning of any
type in an already established single family residential area,
since there is a PUD with PC designation abutting the property
on the South, plus the unoccupied commercial space available in
the Asbury Plaza Shopping Center. Commercial zoning in this
area would definitely deflate our property values, deter future
housing in the area, increase traffic, and in general, take
away the tranquility of our neighborhood.
We've always had high hopes of developing our property into
R-1 residential(compatible with present housing) in the future.
With Commercial just across our property line, that's not likely
ov~
to happen. Who wants to look1the window and see the backdoors
of businesses with property cluttered with dumpsters and pallets
of supplies?
We respectfully ask the Council to examine the possibility of
R-1 or R-2 housing or perhaps a green space in the proposed
Commercial area, all in keeping with the current neighborhood
housing standards and blend in with Mr. Herrig's housing devel-
opment. A park area would be a step to encourage families to
spend more time together and at the right price---FREE.
Family time is lacking in today's society, I think we all agree.
In making your decision, please take into consideration how your
zoning proposal will affect the neighborhood.
( 2 )
If zoned Commercial, will the businessessallowed there be con-
ducive to a residential area?
If zoned Commercial, will Derby Grange Rd. handle the extra traffic?
I did a personal traffic count on Friday, June 23, 2006. From
my yard, a total of 440 vehicles traveled on Derby Grange be-
tween the hours of 3 p.m and 6 p.m.
If zoned Commercial, is Plaza Drive/Derby Grange intersection
a safe distance from the peak of the hill (good visibility, how
about the possibility of being rear-ended while attempting to turn
left from DerbY Grange onto Plaza Drive), has a traffic pattern
been studied to ensure safe ingress and egress at Derny Grange/
Plaza Drive for delivery trucks of all sizes?
If zoned Commercial, will there be adequate screening from
adjacent properties?
If zoned Commercial, will rules and regulationsYput in force
to protect the neighbors?
We know you've heard it all before, but is it really worth
disrupting a neighborhood built on trust, dependability, friend-
ship, contentment for a few extra tax dOllars?
At the June 19 City Council meeting, Mr Herrig asked for trust
between the City Council and the developer. We're aSking for
trust between the City Council, the developer and the citizens
of our neighborhOOd.
We can live with R-I or R-2 housing on this entire proposed
acreage. However, in our opinion, commercial is just simply
out of place.
The facts are: 47 single family homes are in 8/10 of a mile
(3 )
radius of this proposed Commercial property.
There are no commercial establishments on or adjacent to Der~y
Grange Rd., which spans a distance of 4.4 miles.
The Derby Grange Golf and Recreation Center and also a church, both
of which are family-oriented, are in our immediate neighborhood.
Plenty of commercial space is available abutting this property,
plus unoccupied space in the Asbury Plaza Shopping Center.
We extend an invitation to the City Council, Mayor and City
Manager to take a drive out to our neighborhood, park your car,
look around, and just get the feel of the well-being that will
surround you.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
RespectfUlly submitted,

Dubuque City Council
City Hall
Dear Honorable City Council members,
We would like to express our opinion regarding the final zoning of the property
south of Derby Grange Road which is owned by John Herrig. In order to keep in
line with the existing homes in the area, we feel that the zoning should only be for
single family homes and no commercial property. We understand that housing
will eventually expand to the area and that's progress, after all this is a beautiful
area to live. But, there needs to be more careful and thoughtful long range
planning put into a project such as this in order to keep our neighborhood family-
oriented.
Please consider our opinion in the final evaluation of this property zoning.
Sincerely,
~ ~ /-

Dear Mayor and council members,
June 26, 2006
I (Mary Jean Clemen-Reding) attended and spoke at the June 19,2006 public
meeting concerning the rezoning of the Herrig and Butler properties. My husband Steve
and I live on Surrey Lane, which is across the road from the planned development. I
specifically addressed the traffic problems we will encounter from such a development. I
also called into the KDTH radio program on Wednesday, June 21 and expressed my
concerns again to Mayor Buol. I invited everyone on the council to drive down Derby
Grange Road from JFK, pass over the 2 one lane bridges and proceed up Hales Mills
Road around the so called "suicide" corner and see if this road is fit for more traffic.
Doug and Eileen Coates did a traffic count on Derby Grange Road on Friday June 23'd
from 3-6:00 p.m. Over 400 cars were counted. How can this road handle thousands
more that such a development will create?
Our other concern that I addressed at the June 19th meeting was our total
opposition to any commercial rezoning. In the 4.4 mile stretch of Derby Grange Road all
the properties are zoned RI or Agricultural with the exception of I spot zoning. All are
welcome to come out here for a drive and take a look at our beautiful properties and tell
us that commercial zoning would make a nice fit for our neighborhood. I beg to differ.
Quoting Ron Breitbach at the June 19th meeting, "Does the city of Dubuque need more
commercial property?" There is commercial property sitting empty all over Dubuque.
Also, we feel that a commercial zoning will result in decreased property values in the
Derby Grange neighborhood. We feel that this proposal should go back to the zoning
board for further review. Many issues have not been adequately addressed. Some of the
other issues which are concerning us are; Restrictive covenants (are double wide trailers
allowed?), will there be green space and parks? A walking trail? How will the city and
the developer handle water and sewage in the development? We have not read any
specific details about the proposed development. Some sort of written plan should be
available to all concerned property owners upon request.
Mr. Herrig, to date, has not contacted any of the opponents of his development to
reach an agreeable solution, as was suggested at the June 19th meeting. We ask that the
city council address all of these concerns before any rezoning is granted. We
acknowledge the fact that the city of Dubuque will continue to grow and the blending of
commercial and residential properties is often difficult. More thought and input is needed
in this case so that the Derby Grange neighborhood will remain a great area to live and
that we can protect our investment in our properties.
Thank you for taking the time to read and consider our comments.

Arten: Public Hearing, Rezoning of Property
South of Derby Grange Road
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members,
My name is Kimberly A Schmitz VanDee. I live at 13623 Derby Grange Road (parcel ID
1008327005, Sec/TwplRng 08 T89N R2E).
I am writing to express my concerns regarding John Herrig as a developer and in regards
to the development in the South of Derby Grange Road and North of Asbury Plaza area.
My parents, Doug and Chris Schmitz purchased the above named property in 1989. At
that time there was just a field up behind their property. It is now Surrey Lane. I have
been living at this residence since 1999 and have since purchased the property from my
parents. While the Surrey development has grown, I have experience water issues in and
around my property. I have had to on two separate occasions, had to rent equipment and
hire labor to have the ground behind my house regraded, new drain tile laid and the grass
reseeded because I was having water entering in the on backside of my house. The run
off on the driveway side, I had to have redug and redirected because of the run off of
water was tearing up and washing my driveway away. I am sure that Mr. Herrig at the
time of development did not care where and in what direction the run off of water went. I
have spent alot of time and money fixing his mistakes, gutting the rooms in my house due
to mold that has accrued from the damage of water that has entered my home.
I hope you keep all of this in mind so that the residents such as the Clasens, Capauls and
Fleischmann do not have to experience the same issues or similar issues that I have had
to. I strongly believe that Mr. Herrig is only looking out for himself and no one else.
Thank you for allowing me to express my concerns. I hope that each and every one of the
Council members takes the time before allowing Mr. Herrig to do any further developing.
Sincerely yours,
1~~~

Dear City Council Members,
June 27, 2006
Pursuant to the John and Sally Jo Herrig request to rezone approximately 120 acres on Derby Grange
Road, we wish to express our concerns. We would welcome R2 zoning for the entire parcel, and object to
the commercial zoning request for the following reasons:
I. We believe a study of the existing commercially zoned properties, in our immediate northwest
corridor of Dubuque, is more than adequate to meet the actual needs of the city. We include such
developments as the 150 acres owned by Wendell Corey, Motor City LLC, and the 160 acre Pfohl
property at the comer of Asbury and the Northwest Arterial, as well as the remaining Asbury
Plaza and Quagliano Properties. Additionally, there is significant commercial land available at the
intersection of the Northwest Arterial and JFK Road. We simply do not believe there is a
compelling argument to add additional commercial property, especially to the detriment of the
surrounding property owners.
2. We respectfully ask that a traffic study be conducted to substantiate the claim that Derby Grange
Road can handle the proposed increase in commercial traffic. Mike Felderman, Dubuque County
Engineer, reports that a 2005 traffic count conducted by the State showed an average daily traffic
count of 61 O. Considering that Derby Grange Road is constructed of seal coat, we believe it does
not conform to the desired design standards required for commercial developments. We recognize
that the City will only be responsible for a small section of Derby Grange Road, yet we ask the
council to acknowledge the impact it will have on the remaining sections. Presently the County
has no plans to upgrade Derby Grange Road.
3. We have joined many of our neighbors in stating our objection to the commercial zoning
component of the proposed development. We are hopeful that the council will take into
consideration the significant number of residents in our single family dominated area who oppose
the commercial rezoning request, and respect our desire for residential growth.
4. Lastly, we ask the City Council to take a truly long-term view when deciding on the appropriate
zoning classification. As clearly stated in The City of Dubuque's Proposed Future Land Use Map,
this entire property is designated for mixed residential uses. With the addition of the sewer lift
stations which will be constructed to serve the existing PUD projects by Motor City LLC, this
greatly reduces one of the major obstacles which has discouraged residential development in this
area up to this point. We would encourage the City Council to fully appreciate the tremendous
potential this area, including all of the farm land extending east to JFK Road, has for residential
development. This is truly a unique Opportunity for the City Council to set the stage for
tremendous residential growth, in an area where the natural terrain is best suited for homes. Please
consider the concept of "best use" when finalizing your position. We passionately feel the "best
use" for this entire area south of Derby Grange Road is residential.
As you decide on the direction of our neighborhood and our expanding community, we respectfully ask
you to consider the above mentioned arguments. Approving the commercial zoning benefits only the
applicant, albeit at the expense his neighbors. Please help usher in residential development when it is
needed, as well as commercial development when it is needed, and be the guiding hand that keeps poorly
conceived, non-specific commercial zoning from coming to fruition.

June 27, 2006
Dubuque City Council
c/o Planning Services Department
City Hall, Second Floor
50 W. 13th Street
Dubuque,IA 52001-4864
We are writing in regard to the proposed rezoning and annexation of property south of
Derby Grange Road. As property owners in this area, we have an interest in any
proposed change that might affect our quality of life. With that in mind, we would like to
ask that you consider denying the request by John Herrig to rezone this area for anything
other than residential.
Mr. Herrig has requested rezoning in such a way as to allow for a mix of residential and
commercial development. According to the comprehensive plan, the Derby Grange area
is best suited for residential development. Recent news articles have emphasized a need
for additional housing in Dubuque, while a quick tour of the City would demonstrate that
there is currently a variety of commercial properties vacant. Certainly the property
owners of the existing unoccupied commercial properties would be adversely affected by
additional commercial development. Has Mr. Herrig demonstrated an overwhelming
need for this commercial development? If not, then we would ask that you vote to
maintain the residential nature of this neighborhood.
If any of the land to be annexed is rezoned commercial, we strongly suggest that it be
limited to specific uses consistent with a primarily residential area. Further, we would
ask that the commercial properties be isolated from the existing residential properties and
situated on the most southern portions of the proposed rezoning area. This area is closest
to Asbury Plaza and the current commercial properties bordering the Northwest Arterial.
Finally we ask that when you cast your vote on this rezoning proposal that you take into
consideration the overall makeup of this area. Currently it is primarily residential with
single family homes and a few farmsteads. Many of the residents in this area, myself
included, have been a part of the neighborhood for most of our lives, and we pray that
you see the benefit in maintaining the area as a place for families to live.
Sincerely,
fi~<~~

Re Rezoning and annexation request by John and Sally Herrig
City Council, City of Dubuque
Atb1: Jeanne F. Schneider, City Clerk
Jeanne,
My name is William L. Breitbach, owner of the thirty acres on which the Derby Grange Golf and Recreation Center, on
Derby Grange Road, is located. My property is adjacent to the John and Sally Jo Herrig property that is before the council
for rezoning and annexation. I support their request and believe the annexation would be in the best interest of the Dubuque
Community.
Please register my support with the appropriate members of the City Council. Thank you in advance,
William L. Breitbach
Ifpossible, please acknowledge receipt of this email with a short reply, thank you again.

Dear Mayor and Council members,
After attending the council meeting on July 5"' we are compelled to respond to the councils'
decision on the proposed annexation ofthe Herrig and Butler properties.
We realize that the City of Dubuque w ill continue to grO\v and welcomes the increased tax base
ofthe proposed annexation. We feel that the council should reconsider their position on this
proposed annexation due to the conflict ,vith neighboring property owners and our concerns with
the C -3 zoning. We feel that the proposal by Mr. Herrig ,,,ill deflate our property "alues. With
the dense commercial area in the Asbury Plaza and the proposed development b, Mr. Cory, this
seems to us morc than adequate for the long term needs for commercial development in this area.
Also, is there an' guarantee that Mr. Herrig will not request a rezoning of his adjacent properties
to C -3 after he would be granted this original proposal" Mr. Herrig was asked during the last
council meeting if he would withdraw his proposal for annexation if he was not granted the
proposed zoning. He replied "yes" . We do not think this "as a sincere ans"er. We feel that Mr.
Herrig could not financially conduct such a development without the backing of the Cit~ of
Dubuque and the "ater and se,vage agreement.
Another concern is the increased traffic that the proposed annexation will create. Mr. Herrig,
Mayor BuoL and Councilman Rick Jones commented on the already increased traffic in this area.
Commercial developments in this area "ill significantly increase that traffic count. Mr. Herrig
stated a traffic count on Derby grange road of 61 0 cars per day. Mr. Herrig neglected to state that
his figure was quoted from a 200 I traffic count. We confirmed this statistic through city hall.
Doug and Eilean Coates counted o"er 400 cars in a 3 hour period. Also, ,vith the proposed road
tllat ,,,ill intersect with Derby Grange is of great concern. The City of Dubuque ,,,ill be
responsible for the right of way abutting the proposed dewlopment. "hich is a small portion of
Derb, Grange Road .What guarantee do we ha,e from the city and the county that a safe and
functional roadway will be maintained in this area') This wonld be a futality in the making if more
concern is not addressed now. We haven't heard of any joint agreement between the cit~ and
county on how this stretch of roadway "ill be maintained. Has an, study been conducted on the
future traffic flow in this area')
It seems to us that the many issues we are concerned about now w ill be addressed after the fact.
A "ell planned development. like any good business plan, should address upfront the liabilities
that such a de"elopment may encounter in the future. Mr. Herrig has not demonstrated tlllS to us.
He has only sugar coated the issues in fa"or of his proposal and side stepped the negative aspects
that ma' be encountered down the road. You, as Dubuque City Representatives, should have the
fore sight on the possible liabilities that may be encountered "ith this less than thorough plamling
of the area.
In closing, over 50 signatures "ere obtained opposing Mr. Herrigs' proposed rezoning. We are
not aware of any supporters in favor of this proposal with the exception of some possible city
council approval.

Re: rezoning of Henig property South of Derby Grange Rd.
We feel that the Council has overlooked a very important problem with the C3 commercial zone
with zero rear setback at the Henig/Coates boundary line. At the last council meeting, a
comment was made that this C3 parcel is a small property to be concemed about, and not a big
deal - ( 11.899 acres; one football field deep and along the entire westem edge of the Coates'
property). However, nobody has discussed the financial hardship this C3 zone with zero rear
setback at the Henig/Coates boundary line poses to the value and salability of the Coates'
property. The fact that Mr. Henig is free of any buffer zone restrictions in his C3 zone forces
those buffering requirements onto the Coates' property, without any inout on their behalf. Those
buffer zone restrictions must then be included in any long-range plans for the Coates' property
and severely restricts the Coates's future options. This issue MUST be addressed.
The council elso asked several meaningful questions at the last council meeting, but the answers
where not as forthcoming and truthful as we would have liked. For Instance:
1) Contrary to his comments, Mr. Henig will NOT be severely impacted by a couple weeks
delay if the council denies this request. Nothing will happen on the property for several
months while the roadway and pumping stations, etc. are being installed.
2) Mr. Henig's comment that he would withdraw the application for annexation if the zoning
were not approved is a BLUFF. He needs the city water and sewer to get the residential
density he needs to be profitable. The property will be annexed sooner or later.
3) The response to the question regarding curb and gutter was guarded - only the C3 area will
have curb, gutter, and sidewalks? We assure you, the entire subdivision will not be curb,
gutter and sidewalk. Maybe Mr. Henig could clarify which areas will be built to this standard.
4) Mr. Henig commented that the C3 properties were not deep enough to allow for 20% rear
setback. These parcels are a football field deep - surely there is room for business buildings
and parking, even with the setback as requested by the zoning department.
5) As a council member pointed out, the problems of erosion, runoff, and traffic safety have
been heard, but we certainly don't feel they have been resolved - declaring that problems will
be taken care of as they arise does not eliminate the concems and future aggravation of the
neighboring property owners.
This is not as much about 'urban sprawl" as it is about GREED - Mr. Henig has reserved for his
private oasis the most remote westem end of the property which is surrounded by single family
residences and far removed from the C3 zoning debacle that is being foisted upon the
neighboring properties.
We are very concemed about Mr. Henig's attitude and unwillingness to compromise. The
neighbors have suggested a number of alternate ideas to Mr. Henig, but all have fallen on deaf
ears. Mr. Henig and the City appear to be adamant about getting a commercial zone into this
area as soon as possible. The City's requirement of a collector street appears to be a driving
force for the C3 zoning, and this appears to have an undue influence on the Council's
acceptance ofthe zoning request.
There is a stub road shown ( heading northbound) on the Corey PUD that might line up with
Herod Lane in the future - wouldn't that make a better collector road than the one planned
through the Herrig property?
We ask the Council to re-read the petitions and letters from the zoning opponents prior to the
July 16th meeting. Let us assure you that the opposition Mr. Herrig's request still does exist, even
though they may have been disheartened and quieted by the 6 to 1 vote in favor of the zoning at
the last Council meeting.
Again, we ask that the City Council to do what is RIGHT for all the residents of the Derby Grange
Road area and DENY this zoning request. Direct the Developer to revise his plans and design an
acceotable development property that will not negatively impact the neighboring properties. We
are very confident that a more carefully thought out plan can still benefit the Developer, the City,
and the neighboring property owners.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
Richard W. Farnum

Re: rezoning of Herrig property South of Derby Grange Rd.
Mr. John Herrig, a realtor and developer. has purchaSed the Heim and Butler properties south of
Derby Grange Road, near the easterly end of the road and north of the Asbury Plaza. Mr. Herrig
has approached the City of Dubuque and requested rezoning of the parcels 10 A 1. R2. and C3
with concurrent annexation into the City of Dubuque.
A large majority of the neighboring landowners are opposed to this rezoning plan for several
reasons :
1) The Dubuque Long Range Plan shows only mixed residential zoning in the area of Derby
Grange Road. This zoning request puts a C3 commercial strip along a planned road extending
south from Derby Grange and connecting to the Asbury Plaza area. The north edges of the
commercial strip will front ONTO Derby Grange Road. We feel this commercial strip is contrary
to the long range plan. and a preceden1that will lead to an unruly mix of business and residential
properties In our serene neighborl1ood.
2) There are no plans in the near future to upgrade Derby Grange Road to handle the ever-
increasing traffic levels. There are three dangerous ONE-LANE bridges on Derby Grange Road
over Chloe Creek and near the intersection with Hales Mill. The risks are already serious at the
traffic levels we have now. much more so with new subdivisions.
3) There is a great elevation differential from the development property to the property of
the residen1s downhill on Derby Grange. The proposed Herrig development does not show any
green spaces or watershed projects to control runoff and protect those downhill property owners.
Attached are petitions signed by the neighboring landowners and other letters written to the
Dubuque City Council voicing our objections to this zoning request. A super-majority is required
because of the opposition to the zoning plan, but the zoning request passed by a 6 to 1 vote at
the first reading, and will go to a second reading at the July 17''' city council meeting.
We ask the Dubuque County Board of Supervisors. for future common sense zoning and on
behalf of the opponents to this zoning request, to draft a letter to the Dubuque City Council
urging denial of Mr. Herrig's zoning request.
Thank you.

Honorable Mayor, City Councilpersons, and City Manager
We are Douglas and Eileen Coates of 13102 Derby Grange Road. We
are operators and owners of the agricultural property East of the
proposed C-3 owned by John Herrig. As our property is just across
the fence from the above C-3, we again urge you to take our
concerns into deep consideration. The future sale of our land
will be greatly impacted by your votes. Indeed, if John Herrig
needs this strip of land to be commercial property, C-3 with 0% rear
setback is very disturbing to us. Any adjoining property owner
would be concerned if C-3 construction could be backed up to
their fence line. C-3 allows 66 uses-some of which are not
especially suited for present and future residential. Herrig
eliminated 4 of these 66 uses at the July 5 City Council meeting--
a very short elimination 1ist--not very comforting to his neighbors,
needless to say. Again, we contend that C-2 with 20%/~~~back
would give us some satisfaction that the uses of this area would be
limited, but still be commercial, according to Herrig's wishes.
To the best of our knowledge, the proposed strip of commercial
property is approx. 300 feet wide--20%/~~~tack would still give
Herrig 240 feet of space to plan his buildings, parking and
frontage.
On June 30, a written invitation was extended to Mr. Herrig to
attend a neighborhood meeting to discuss our concerns and attempt
to come to some sort of compromise.
In an effort to eliminate
Mr. Herrig having a feeling of being interrogated by the entire
neighborhood, we only invited his neighbors that would be directly
affected by the C-3 property. Mr. Herrig and 7 neighbors attended.
The dialogue was calm and to the point.
(continued)
,
(page 2 of 4)
Douglas Coates
No one objected to the City Ag zoning.
No one objected to the R-2 housing zoning.
No one objected to the commercial zoning, in general, only the type
and location(C-3 and /O%a,fetback) . The 1 and 1/2 hour discussion
centered on the Commercial Zoning.
Attempts to downgrade the C-3,
rear rear
O%/setback to C-2, 20%/setback were rejected by Mr. Herrig.
His
neighbors suggested an alternative site for the Commercial zoning.
We explained the reasons we thought this could be a positive site for
all parties involved:
(SEE MAP ENCLOSED)
1. It would still be along the connector street (Plaza Drive), as
Mr. Herrig wishes. As was stated at the July 5 City Council
meeting, the city requires Mr. Herrig to put in Plaza Drive to
Derby Grange Rd. intersection, so it is only proper that the city
support the Commercial, but does the Commercial need to be at
Derby Grange Road and Plaza Drive intersection.
2. The new site suggested by his neighbors would be adjacent to
Wendell Corey's (Motor City LLC) property (zoned PUD and covenants
with the city are established), keeping commercial with
commercial. While Wendell Corey's property has limits and
covenants in place to protect himself and adjacent property
owners, Herrig has nothing of the sorts in place.
3. Our proposed new site for Herrig's commercial zoning would not affect
present
or future neighbors at all.
rear
O%/setback if he wishes.
He could have C-3 if he
wishes,
4. We feel the types of C-3 commercial establishments likely to be
built are considered low-traffic, low.~isibility businesses,
therefore they need not be at the top of the hill at Derby
(continued)

(Page 3 of 4)

Grange Road and Plaza Drive intersection. The location of
these low-traffic, low-visibility establishments would not
d" affect .
IrIctly/customer busIness.
5. Removing the commercial strip from Derby Grange Road, Plaza
Drive intersection to our new proposed site, would open this
area up for future housing. with present housing and the 100+
residential lots proposed in Herrig's R-2, it only seems viable for
a continuation of housing development to JFK Road.
It only
stands to reason that in order for Commercial to be successful,
residential planning needs to be planned out first.
After discussion of the above compromises made by Mr. Herrig's
neighbors, no agreements were made. We came away from the meeting
with a feeling of being let down. We had hopes that the meeting
would be positive on at least one point. We thought we offered
a fair proposal that would benefit all parties involved: the
. . /get
neIghborhood would compromIse and some of what they wanted, Mr.Herrig
would compromise with his neighbors and get some of what he wanted,
the City would still get additional annexation, still obtain more
tax revenue, and still get a mix of residential and commercial use,
as would have been the case from the beginning.
At the July 5 City Council meeting, Karla Braig asked Mr. Herrig the
following question:
If we don't give you the zoning you ask for,
is it true then, that you will not allow annexation? His answer
was "Yes." All three parties are neighbors, in a sense. It's up
to the City Council, now, to weigh the pros and cons and hopefully
devise a plan all can be happy with.
Once again, thank you for your consideration on this matter.

Re: rezoning of Herrig property South of Derby Grange Rd,
Since the City Council meeting on June 19, we have seen the Proposed FutUre Land Use Map and have had
discussions with our Derby Grange Road neighbors. As a result, we are no longer in favor of ANY conunercial
development on the Herrig property, Details of our objections to the conunercial zoning are listed below, but
primarily the land use map shows QM.Y mixed residential on the sooth side of Derby Grange Road - any
conunercial in the area would be contrary to that plao and an nnwanted precedent to future scattered zoning issnes
that any developer might want to force on the residents of the area. We SlRONGL Y urge the City Council to deny
the rezoning request and refer this matter back to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for further hwing, and direct
the Developer to revise his plans,
Reasons for urging a denial of the rezoning request :
1. Compliance with Proposed Future Land UIe Map: The City of Dubuque's Proposed FutUre Land Use Map
designates this entire property for mixed residentia1 uses. The proposed conunerciallaod use is not in compliance
with the proposed draft laod use plan. If conunercial zoning is designated for this property, the land use plao
currently being proposed will already be outdated and ineffective. A mix of residential uses wouId be in conformity
with that proposed as part of the City's long range plaoning efforts.
2. Residential UIIelI: While a mix ofresidemial uses and densities is accep1able for this area, it is strongly
recommended that any rental units or apartments be prohibited. The nature of the surrounding area includes
strictly single family owner occupied homes, This pattern should be respected with a restriction on this
development that limits residential uses to owner occupied homes, which could be single family attached (such as
townhomes or condominiums) or single family detached homes,
J. Questionable Commercial Location: The location of this commercial proposal, "behind" several large
shopping centers and nowhere close to any llIl\ior arterial streets, is a third rate location (at best), These
conunercia1lots would only be desirable for commercial uses that do not rely upon high traffic or high visibility
locations, These are often qnestionable conunercia1 uses, such as eqnipment rental places, auto or truck repair, and
similar psuedo-indnstrial users that often rely opon outdoor storage and will not be good neighbors to the planned
residential development, or to the existing residential uses in the area, These users would be similar to uses on
Cedar Cross Road, Century Drive, and similar locations, We don't understand why the City of Dubuque, after
working toward the quality development shown along the Northwest Arterial, would allow this poorly conceived
development to proceed without at least reqniring Plaoued Conunercia1 zoning,
4. Road Layout: The proposed roadway layout Includes no roadway extensions to service or interconnect with
future development of adjacent properties. Roads and aU utilities should be stubbed to the adjacent properties to
service the future development of those properties. Mr. Herrig is keeping 37 acres to the west of the property in Al
agriculture zoning but the plot shows no access to this property, which will be surrouuded by sing1e-family
residences.
.
.
Page 2
Re: rezoning of Herrig property South of Derby Grange Rd.
5. Access Location: With the planned extension of the collector street to intersect with Derby Grange Rood, it is
certain that traffic signals and other improvements will be necessary in the future. The vertical curve at the top of
the hill on Derby Grange Road will not allow for adequate reaction to traffic that may be stopped andlor turning at
the proposed col1ector street. Further. the proposed intersection does not line up with any of the existing
intersections on the north side of Derby Grange Road. Both of these issnes make future intersection improvements
very problematic for the proposed location. The layout of the streets should be amended to provided connections to
adjacent properties, for a future extension of a street that would align with Herod Lane at the top of the hill,
allowing for an appropriate intersection layout in the future.
6. Lift Station: The Developer's proposal for the City to pay for and construct water and sewer lines and a lift
station to service this development, with no recapture or connection fees for the Developer, is unacceptable. The
City taxpayer money is being used simply to allow this developer to achieve financial gain with minimal risk or
expense. Further, a second lift station may be needed at the northwest and northerly portions of the site, in order to
provide sewage utilities to the 100+ lots proposed for the approximately 77 acre area.
7. Water Runoff Control: There is a great elevation differential from the development property to the property of
the residents downhill on Derby Grange. Runoff issues were not addressed on any paperwork that we were able to
see. and no runoff controls were defined or shown on the submitted sketches of the development property.
8. Future Plans: The Developer stated the he is keeping 37 acres in Al agriculture zoning for his personal
residence - is this land then available for future development whenever he decides to do so? If so, then it should be
zoned RI NOW to provide some assurance for the local residents and avoid re-zoning issues in the future. The
property is bordered on three sides by single- family residences.
We believe a more carefully thought out plan can benefit the Developer, the City, and the neighboring property
owners. Again, we ask that the City Council refer this matter back to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for further
hearing, and direct the Developer to revise his plans and work with the neighborhood to design an acceptable
development property.
Thank you.
Yours truly,

City of Dubuque, Iowa
City Hall / 50 W. 13th Street
Dubuque, Iowa 52001 - 4864
Re: Action taken by the City Zoning Advisory Commission on
Wednesday Evening May 3, 2006 re: Request of John & Sally Jo Herrig
Re: the rezoning of Their Property South of Derby Grange Road
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members:
I was present at the May 3, 2006 meeting of the City Zoning Advisory Commission as I had
an item on the agenda for the annexation and zoning of 80 acres as an addition to the existing
Asbury Business Park project located on Plaza Drive at the north end of the Asbury Plaza
development area. My request for annexation and the PUD zoning was unanimously
recommended for approval by the Commission.
Following my item was the request from John & Sally Herrig to annex and zone their
property from County A-I Agricultural District to City AG Agricultural District, R-3
Moderate Density Mult-Family Residential District, and C-3 General Commercial District in
conjunction with their annexation to the City of Dubuque. Following presentations and
discussion the Commission recommended that the request for R-3 zoning be downgraded to
R-2 zoning. That was followed by considerable discussion re: the appropriateness of C-3
General Commercial zoning along the easterly side of the future extension of Plaza Drive
from my development northerly to Derby Grange Road. Several alternatives were discussed
by the Commission members, but unfortunately in my opinion, they recommended C-3
zoning for the strip of land along the easterly side of future Plaza Drive.
I strongly feel that the recommended C-3 zoning for the Herrig property should be
downgraded to C-2. A C-3 zone could allow such uses as: private clubs, gas stations, bakery
(wholesale / commercial), bar / tavern, hotel or motel, appliance sales / service, full service or
self-service car wash, auditoriums / assembly halls, lumberyards / building materials sales,
construction supply sales and service, moving / storage facilities, auto service centers, auto
sales / service, auto repair / body shop, truck sales / service and repair, farm implement sales
and service, mobile home sales, motorcycle sales and service, boat sales and service,
4,
..
recreational vehicles sales and service, and a contractor shop / yard... and other C-3 zoning
uses as listed in the City Code, which in my opinion are intended for locations other than as
proposed by the Herrig request.
In my opinion, many of the C-3 permitted uses are certainly not desirable for the location
proposed by Herrig; but they can and will happen if the zoning allows them! It would seem
very 'reasonable' to me if the Herrig request was approved for C-2 zoning, and was at least
limited to the same conditions and restrictions as the commercial development approved for
my property immediately to the south of Herrig. The principle permitted uses in the C-2
District do permit some of the C-3 uses, but not the more 'out of place' uses such as the
building materials, contractors yards, and other storage type uses which are NOT compatible
with what is likely to be a very nice future residential area.
I also feel that restrictive covenants should be preset and submitted to the City as part of the
development to provide the neighbors future protection. This is what I have done with my
development south of the Herrig property. Therefore, I respectfully request that the City
Council NOT approve the C-3 General Commercial Zoning for the Herrig property, and
consider zoning it C-2 Commercial Zoning; with conditions and restrictions similar to those
on my commercial zoning immediately to the south. I have discussed my concerns directly
with Mr. Herrig and he refused to change his request to be more compatible with my concerns
and project to the south of him.
Perhaps the best solution for the Herrig property is to require him to develop under a Planned
Unit Development procedure, which gives him some of the 'flexibility' he desires, but also
requires him to think ahead more precisely about exactly 'what' he wants to do and 'where'
he wants to do it. Specific zoning in designated areas, with identified uses and deed
restrictions take all of the 'guess what surprises' away for the neighbors. This is what we
have done in our development projects, and we would be pleased to offer Mr. Herrig copies of
our Deed Restrictions and any other guidance that would be helpful to him as a neighbor.
It is very important that we maintain the quality of property values, uses and overall
appearances for this new area of the City of Dubuque. I hope you will also concur with this
thinking and properly guide the future zoning for development in this area. Thank you.
Respectfully requested...

Re: rezoning of property South of Derby Grange Rd.

JUN - 9 2006 ~
CllY OF DUBUQUE
PLANNING SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Dear sirs,
We were excited to hear about the voluntary annexation of the properties
south and east of our residence on Derby Grange Rd. We felt this would be
a great opportunity for the area.
Then our neighbors clued us in on the what the zoning restrictions included
(or more to the point did NOT include). The C-3 commercial zoning appears
to be an unlimited "no-holds-barred" license to develop the property with no
regard for the neighborhood or the area surrounding the rezoned property.
This is definitely a negative situation for the neighborhood we live in since it could
easily allow unwanted or undesirable businesses to the area.
The PUD zoning makes much more sense to us because it allows neighborhood
input and open discussion of any business wanting to operate in the area.
We urge you to dis-allow the C-3 zoning and consider the PUD zoning
for this land.
The residential area in this annexation, planned to be R-3 (moderate density
multi-family residential), would also be seen as a negative to the residents of the
surrounding area. All of the sub-divisions in the area near us and Asbury are
single-family with maybe a very few two-family residences. Multi-family residences
would be far too urban and densely populated for the historically rural atmosphere along
Derby Grange. The road itself (Derby Grange - the westerly end) is not adequate to handle
the increased traffic load that high density housing will lead to; and certainly, not all the
residents will restrict their driving to the upgraded (eastern) section of Derby Grange. And
we don't anticipate any improvements on Derby Grange in the foreseeable future.
This is our point of view on the situation, so please consider our requests for the PUD and
R-2 zoning requirements for this annexed property. And we do thank: you for looking
at the situation and considering our position in the matter.

Honorable Mayor and City Council Members,
Dean 8:.. Angela. Capaul of 13486 Derby Grange Rd
Steve Fleshmann of 13498 Derby Grange Rd
William & Connie Clasen of 136\4 Derby Grange Rd
We are concerned about the development proposed for the areas just south of our houses that are on a
Ilillside next to the development. We are aware of the state-mandated precautions that must be taken while
building is going on to check run off and erosion.
We have a greater concern about 11eavy storms in the future when the houses are completed. Will the run
offfrom the roofs, roadways and yards be directed through our properties? We would like to see a 250 fool
wide green area with a brim along the property line put in to stop water run off i.n heavy storms. The water
that is running in the ditch along Derby Grange Rd is overflowing into the yards now when stonns pass
through with heavy rains. Will the added run off from the new development wash away our front yards too
with the rain? Has John Herrig or any city depar1ment had any study conducted to address this water issue?
Another concern of ours is the C-3 Commercial District. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) would give
neighbors and officials a public meeting for input on what kind of business went in there. Also, at the last
meeting R-J was changed to &-2. That was not printed on the map sent with the public hearing notice we
got. Is it R-2 or not?
Respectfully,
Willy & Co~}? Clasen

Applicant
Location:
Description:
John & Sally Jo Herrig
South of Derby Grange Road, Dubuque County
To rezone property from County A 1 Agricultural District to City AG
Agricultural District, R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential
District, and C-3 General Commercial District in conjunction with
annexation to the City of Dubuque.
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 conceptual layout of streets
and zoning, noting that future platting of the property will refine the street and lot
layouts. The applicant reviewed that an extension of Plaza Drive will serve the
property and be connected to Derby Grange Road.
Staff reviewed the requested rezoning, noting allowed uses for both R-3 and C-3
Districts. Staff reviewed utility extensions necessary to serve the subject property.
There were two public comments concerning the rezoning expressing reservations
regarding multi-family residences adjacent to existing single-family homes,
maintenance of existing fence lines and allowed commercial uses in C-3.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, noting that the R-3 District
allows a range of housing styles but that a blanket R-3 may not be advisable in this
location. The Commission also discussed concern for the proposed C-3 zoning
regarding the allowable uses and setbacks.
Recommendation
By a vote of 7 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City
Council approve the request subject to the following conditions:
Service
People
Integrity
Responsibility
Innovation
Teamwork
John and Sally Jo Herrig, south of Derby Grange Road
May 8, 2006
Page 2
a) That the area designated for residential be designated R-2 Two-Family
Residential District.
b) That the proposed C-3 General Commercial District utilize the rear yard
setback of 20 percent of lot depth regardless of zoning of adjacent
property.
A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request with the
conditions recommended by the Zoning Advisory Commission. The owner must also
agree in writing to the conditions. A super majority vote is needed for the City Council
to either eliminate or modify the conditions, and to approve the R-3/C-3 rezoning as
requested by the owners.
Respectfully submitted,
JdJc~~

REZONING STAFF REPORT
Zoning Agenda: May 3, 2006
Property Address: 13316 &13500 Derby Grange Road
Property Owner: John W. & Sally Jo Herrig
Applicant: John W. Herrig
Proposed Land Use: Residential/commercial
Proposed Zoning: R-3/C-3/AG
Existing Land Use: Agricultural
Existing Zoning: County A-1
Adjacent Land Use: North - Residential
East - Agricultural
South - Agricultural
West - Residential
Adjacent Zoning: North - County A-1
East - County A-1
South - County A-1
West - County A-1
Former Zoning: 1934 -N/A; 1975 - N/A;
1985 - County A-1
Total Area: 112 Acres
Property History: The subject property has been used for agricultural purposes since its
settlement.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is characterized by rolling topography
that drains primarily to the northwest.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The proposed rezoning involves the
Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Element: Goal 1.2, 1.5, 2.2, 2.3, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.2,
8.5, 10.2 and 10.6.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: City utilities will have to be extended to the subject property to serve the
proposed developments. City water will be extended along the right-of-way of
Plaza Drive through property owned by Motor City LLClWendell Corey. Sanitary
sewer will also have to be extended northward through the Motor City LLClWendell
Corey property and will have to utilize lift stations and force mains to bring the flow
back toward the City of Dubuque where the City's existing gravity sewer system
can accommodate the additional flows from the proposed development.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The proposed area for rezoning will be served by an
extension of Plaza Drive and also have access to Derby Grange Road. Based on
2001 IDOT counts, Derby Grange Road carries approximately 650 average daily
trips.
Rezoning Staff Report -13316 &13500 Derby Grange Road
Page 2
Public Services: Existing public services can serve the proposed site once it
develops.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment
provided adequate erosion control is provided during all phases of development
and storm water detention is provided in compliance with City of Dubuque
Ordinances and policies.
Adjacent Properties: The most likely impacts to adjacent properties will be
additional vehicle trips on surrounding roadways and higher ambient light level than
existing in the area.
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: The applicants are requesting rezoning of the subject property to a
combination of R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential District and C-3 General
Commercial District concurrent with annexation to the City of Dubuque. This project
encompasses 112 acres and includes approximately 37 acres that will remain zoned
agricultural upon annexation.
The applicants have included a schematic design of how the property may be laid out
for commercial and residential development. All the proposed streets would be public
streets and meet City requirements for right-of-way and construction standards. Access
to the street would be through an extension of Plaza Drive, which currently serves only
Asbury Plaza. Plaza Drive will be extended through the Motor City LLC/Wendell Corey
development to a point on the south side of the Herrig property and be extended to
Derby Grange Road. Derby Grange Road is a county roadway that carries
approximately 650 average daily trips based on 2001 lOOT counts. The extension of
Plaza Drive from the Northwest Arterial to Derby Grange Road has been contemplated
by the City for a number of years.
The area of the requested rezoning/annexation by the Herrigs and Motor City
LLC/Wendell Corey is commonly referred to as the northwest quadrant of the
community. This area is bounded by Asbury Road on the south, Hales Mill Road to the
west, Derby Grange Road to the north and John F. Kennedy Road to the east. The
Northwest Arterial cuts through the southeast portion of this quadrant, and with the
extension of Plaza Drive, will provide an important roadway to serve this area of the
community. Without Plaza Drive, all future development in this quadrant of the
community, whether it be in Dubuque County, the City of Asbury, or the City of
Dubuque, would have to use either Hales Mill Road, Derby Grange Road, or John F.
Kennedy Road to access the Northwest Arterial and Asbury Road.
City utilities will have to be extended to the Herrig property through the area proposed
for development by Motor City LLC/Wendell Corey. The City is working with both

FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager
RE: Rezoning Request Concurrent with Annexation -- Gary and Mary Beth Valentine
Gary and Mary Beth Valentine have requested voluntary annexation of 58.62 acres of
property east of Edval Lane and south of North Cascade Road, in conjunction with
rezoning the property to R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential. This item is
set for public hearing at the City Council's June 5, 2006 meeting.
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. Gary and
Mary Beth Valentine are working with Marty McNamer of NCR Developers, Inc. Mr.
McNamer indicated at the Commission meeting that R-3 zoning provides flexibility in
developing the property with a mixture of housing styles and range of prices.
At your request, I contacted Gary Valentine regarding his request for R-3 rezoning
versus the Commission's recommendation for R-2 rezoning. Mr. Valentine indicated
that R-3 is the zoning classification that he wants for this annexation territory. The
ordinance to be considered at the City Council's June 5, 2006 meeting is for the R-3
rezoning requested by Gary and Mary Beth Valentine.

Dear Mr. Buol,
Pursuant to the recommendation of the City Council, I have invited Mr. Herrig to a
meeting with the neighbors who object to his proposed development project. This
meeting is scheduled for Sunday, July 2.
Enclosed is a copy of the letter given to Mr. Herrig on June 30. He has accepted our
invitation and we look forward to the opportunity to share our concerns, and hear more
details about his plans.
As a result of this new dialogue between Mr. Herrig and the group who has opposed his
rezoning, I ask for the opportunity to address the City Council at the July 5th meeting.
We have followed your suggestions to engage Mr. Herrig in discussions, and we would
like to briefly comment back to the Council our results.

Dear John & Sally Jo,
Pursuant to our meeting today, I would like to extend an invitation to you to meet with
your neighbors to discuss your proposed development.
We will be gathering Sunday, July 2, at 7:30 p.m., at the Derby Grange Golf Pavilion. At
this meeting we welcome the opportunity to learn more specifics about your project.
Attached is a list of our concerns. It is our sincere hope that by having an open dialogue
we can arrive at a compromise which will be accepted to all parties.
Please accept our invitation, and our sincere wishes to arrive at some common agreement
concerning the development of our neighbor and our community.
R fully,
~ Brei ach
List of concerns:
l) Storm water runoff. Specifically, we are concerned where the water collected by
the streets, and other hard surfaces on the northern slope of the development will
be discharged. If this area discharges along Derby Grange Road, we are
concerned about the potential destructive impact to existing residential property.
Additionally, we are concerned about the potential increase of water discharged
into the valley and stream which runs thru the northwest section of the
development. Storm water runoff from recent developments have already had a
negative impact to property owners affected, and we are concerned how the
proposed development will manage the potential negative impact to property
owners.
2) Increased traffic. Recognizing that any development, including the residential use
we currently support, has the potential to dramatically increase the traffic count
on Derby Grange Road. Weare concerned about the structural capabilities of the
road to handle the purposed impact of additional traffic. The current average
daily traffic count as of2005 is 610 vehicles. We have been informed by
Dubuque city staff that Derby Grange Road will remain in the jurisdiction of
Dubuque County, and is not the responsibility of the City of Dubuque.
Communication with Dubuque County Engineer, Mike Felderman, raises
concerns about whether the seal coat constructed surface can handle the potential
impact of a commercial zone, particularly ifheavy trucks are part of their daily
business operations. Additionally, considering the high likelihood that the
remaining properties east to John F. Kennedy Road will be annexed into the City
of Dubuque at some time, we have been led to believe that Dubuque County will
not be inclined to make any improvements to Derby Grange Road if needed. We
are concerned, if, the impact on Derby Grange Road causes structural
deterioration, will it be the City or County that provides the improvements needs.
The impact on property owners will differ significantly, depending if assessments
are levied on the adjacent properties.
3) Road Layout and Access. The proposed roadway layout includes no roadway
extensions to service or interconnect with future development of adjacent
properties. Weare concerned that the proposed plans reflect no consideration for
future development of adjacent properties. Weare also concerned about the
safety of the main collector street intersecting Derby Grange Road 300' from the
crest of the hill.
4) Commercial vs. Residential use. The City of Dubuque' Proposed Future Land
Use Map designates this entire property for residential use. This is the first
property that is being developed that borders Derby Grange Road, and how this
development proceeds will greatly affect the direction of the remaining properties.
The natural lay of the land, south of Derby Grange Road, extending east to John
F. Kennedy Road offers tremendous residential possibilities. We are concerned
that if a commercial development is allowed to connect with Derby Grange Road
it will negatively impact the potential for future residential development. We
view our neighborhood as rural residential presently, and welcome city or county
residential as our future.

MEMORANDUM
June 20, 2006
TO: Michael Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager ~
RE: Voluntary Annexation Request -- John and Sally Jo Herrig
INTRODUCTION
This memo transmits a resolution approving the voluntary annexation application from
John and Sally Jo Herrig for annexation of 112.10 acres of their property south of
Derby Grange Road, in conjunction with rezoning their property to R-3 Moderate
Density Multi-Family Residential, C-3 General Commercial, and AG Agricultural and
approval of a pre-annexation agreement. In addition, 0.647 acres of adjacent County
right-of-way to the centerline of Derby Grange Road would be annexed.
The City Council tabled the public hearings on the voluntary annexation application and
the rezoning at the June 19, 2006 meeting. City Attorney Barry Lindahl has requested
that a separate resolution for the Herrig annexation request be provided for the City
Council's consideration. A staff report, application materials, and the pre-agreement for
the Herrig annexation request also are enclosed.
BACKGROUND
After approval by the City Council, the State of Iowa's City Development Board must
approve the annexation for it to become final because the Herrig property lies within
two miles of the City of Asbury and the City of Sageville.
The Herrig property meets Iowa Code requirements for annexation when combined with
the Motor City/Corey annexation request that was approved at the June 19, 2006
meeting. It avoids the creation of an island of unincorporated territory when combined
with the Butler annexation.
State law requires that the City annex to the centerline of any adjoining County
secondary road, so 0.647 acres of adjacent public right-of-way for Derby Grange Road
is included in the Herrig annexation request.
Herrig Voluntary Annexation Request
Page 2 of 4
The Zoning Advisory Commission recommended rezoning to R-2 Two-Family
Residential zoning rather than the R-3 requested by the Herrigs. The Commission also
recommended that the C-3 District have a rear yard setback of 20% lot depth. At the
June 19, 2006 public hearing, John Herrig agreed verbally to the R-2 rezoning, but not
to the 20% setback in C-3.
DISCUSSION
The Herrigs have requested City financial assistance to facilitate future development,
and have signed the enclosed pre-annexation agreement. The agreement provides a
waiver of rezoning fees and a five-year transition on City property taxes the same as for
the Butler and Motor City annexations. City staff has recommended the enclosed
agreement with the Herrigs based on current City policy and financial resources,
subject to review and approval by the City Council with the following additional terms
and conditions:
~ The City will construct a sanitary sewer to serve the Herrig property. The fee for
sanitary sewer connection of lots to City's sewer system will be as follows:
For the portion of the Property designated as the A-1 District on the enclosed
Exhibit A, the fee for connection to the sewer system will be $5,000.00 provided that
the A-1 District is developed and used exclusively for the Herrigs' personal
residence. The fee will be paid to the City upon connection of their personal
residence to the City's sewer system. If the A-1 District is developed for any
purpose other than for their personal residence, the Herrigs must pay the
connection fee of $500.00 per acre for any property developed for any purpose
other than their personal residence. The $500.00 per acre fee must be paid within
twelve (12) months after final plat approval for each phase for any property
developed for any purpose other than their personal residence.
b. The Herrigs must pay the $500.00 per acre connection fee for any property
designated C-3 General Commercial District on the enclosed Exhibit A. The Herrigs
agree to pay the connection fee to the City for each lot they sell at the time of the
sale of each lot and based upon the acreage of the lot. There is a balloon payment
of any remaining balance by no later than five (5) years from the date of this
Agreement based on the total acreage of the C-3 General Commercial District.
c. The Herrigs must pay the $500.00 per acre connection fee for any property
designated R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential District on the enclosed
Exhibit A. The Herrigs agree to pay the connection fee to the City for each lot they
sell at the time of the sale of each lot and based upon the acreage of the lot. There
is a balloon payment of any remaining balance by no later than five (5) years from
Herrig Voluntary Annexation Request
Page 3 of 4
the date of this Agreement based on the total acreage of the R-3 Moderate Density
Multi-Family Residential District.
~ The City will provide an interest-free loan in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for
the construction of a sanitary sewer to serve Phase 1 of the R-3 District. To be
eligible for this loan, the work must be bid and contracted by City and is subject to
City bidding requirements.
a. The Herrigs must pay for by an Iowa licensed professional engineer to prepare
all plans, specifications, and construction documents for the sewer necessary for
City review and approval and to comply with the requirements of state law for public
improvement contracts so that the City can bid the project and award the contract
as a City project. If the cost of the selected bid exceeds the loan funds offered by
the City, the Herrigs have the option to contract separately for the improvements in
excess of the loan funds offered, or to pay the City's cost of the improvements in
excess of the loan funds prior to bid award, or to reduce the scope of the project to
match the loan funds offered by the City.
b. Upon completion of the construction of the sewer, all dwellings constructed in the
R-3 District must be connected to City's sewer.
c. The City will establish a loan repayment schedule of payments to be paid by
Herrigs at the time of the sale of each R-3 lot. Each such payment will be credited
toward the Herrigs' loan. Not later than five (5) years from the date of this
Agreement, the entire balance of the loan must be paid to the City.
d. As security for the loan by the City to the Herrigs, prior to the award of a contract
for the construction of the sewer, the Herrigs must execute a promissory note and
mortgage or other security encumbering the property.
~ The City will provide an interest-free loan to the Herrigs in an amount not to exceed
$50,000 for the construction of a water main to serve Phase 1 of the R-3 District. To
be eligible for this loan, the work must be bid and contracted by City and is subject
to City bidding requirements.
a. The Herrigs must pay for by an Iowa licensed professional engineer to prepare
all plans, specifications, and construction documents for the water main necessary
for City review and approval and to comply with the requirements of state law for
public improvement contracts so that the City can bid the project and award the
contract as a City project. If the cost of the selected bid exceeds the loan funds
offered by the City, the Herrigs have the option to contract separately for the
improvements in excess of the loan funds offered, or to pay the City's cost of the
improvements in excess of the loan funds prior to bid award, or to reduce the scope
Herrig Voluntary Annexation Request
Page 4 of 4
of the project to match the loan funds offered by the City.
b. Upon completion of the construction of the water main, all dwellings constructed
in the R-3 District must be connected to the water main.
c. The City will establish a loan repayment schedule of payments to be paid by
Herrigs at the time of the sale of each R-3 lot. Each such payment will be credited
toward the Herrigs' loan. Not later than five (5) years from the date of this
Agreement, the entire balance of the loan must be paid to the City.
d. As security for the loan by the City to the Herrigs, prior to the award of a contract
for the construction of the sewer, the Herrigs must execute a promissory note and
mortgage or other security encumbering the property.
e. The City will pay the difference between the material cost of 8-inch and 12-inch
water main for water main that the City Manager determines in the City Manager's
sole discretion is required by the City for future development.
~ The loans provided under this agreement are for services to principally residential
development. Any benefit to future commercial development is incidental only.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that City Council adopt the enclosed resolution approving the voluntary
annexation request of John and Sally Jo Herrig, and approve the pre-annexation
agreement signed by the Herrigs, and then direct staff to file the required
documentation with the State of Iowa's City Development Board.

1
WHEREAS, as an incentive to Developers to voluntarily apply to City to annex
the Property, City is willing to enter into this Agreement, but only upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS
FOLLOWS:
1. This Agreement is subject to a final order of the City Development Board, after the
exhaustion of any and all appeals from the action of the Board or the expiration of the
time within which such appeals may be brought, approving the voluntary annexation of
the Property. In the event the City Development Board order approves such annexation
as to less than all of the Property, this Agreement shall be null and void with respect to
any of the Property not included in the Board's order.
2. Upon the filing of Developers' application for voluntary annexation, City shall
promptly consider the application and if the application is approved by the City Council,
transmit the application to the City Development Board as provided by law. Developers
agree not to withdraw the application or any part thereof after its filing with City.
3. City intends to construct a sanitary sewer which will be available to serve the
Property. The fee for sanitary sewer connection of lots in the Property to City's sewer
system shall be as follows:
a. For the portion of the Property designated as the A-1 District on Exhibit A
incorporated herein by reference, the fee for connection to the sewer system shall be
$5,000.00 provided that such A-1 District shall be developed and used exclusively for
Developers' personal residence. The fee shall be paid to City upon connection of
Developers' personal residence to City's sewer system. If the A-1 District is developed
for any purpose other than for Developers' personal residence, Developers shall pay the
connection fee of $500.00 per acre for any property developed for any purpose other
than the Developers' personal residence. The $500.00 per acre fee shall be paid within
twelve (12) months after final plat approval for each phase for any property developed
for any purpose other than the Developers' personal residence.
b. Developers shall pay the $500.00 per acre connection fee for any property
designated C-3 General Commercial District on Exhibit A incorporated herein by
reference. Developers agree to pay the connection fee to City for each lot sold by
Developers at the time of the sale of each lot and based upon the acreage of the lot.
City shall have no obligation to issue a permit for connection of any lot to the sanitary
system prior to the payment of the fee for such lot. Regardless of the number of lots
sold by Developers, if any, however, Developers shall pay to City by no later than five
(5) years from the date of this Agreement the entire balance of the connection fee
based on the total acreage of the C-3 General Commercial District.
c. Developers shall pay the $500.00 per acre connection fee for any property
designated R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential District on Exhibit A
2
incorporated herein by reference. Developers agree to pay the connection fee to City for
each lot sold by Developers at the time of the sale of each lot, based upon the acreage
of the lot sold. City shall have no obligation to issue a permit for connection of any lot to
the sanitary system prior to the payment of the fee for such lot. Regardless of the
number of lots sold by Developers, if any, however, Developers shall pay to City by no
later than five (5) years from the date of this Agreement the entire balance of the
connection fee based on the total acreage of the R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family
Residential District.
4. City shall provide an interest-free loan to Developers in an amount not to
exceed $150,000 for the construction of a sanitary sewer to serve Phase 1 of the R-3
District. To be eligible for this loan, the work must be bid and contracted by City and is
subject to City bidding requirements.
a. Developers shall cause to be prepared at their expense by an Iowa licensed
professional engineer and submit to City all plans, specifications, and construction
documents for the sewer necessary for City review and approval and to comply with the
requirements of state law for public improvement contracts so that City can bid the
project and award the contract as a City project. If the cost of the selected bid exceeds
the loan funds offered by City, the Developers shall have the option to contract
separately for the improvements in excess of the loan funds offered, or to pay City's
cost of the improvements in excess of the loan funds offered to City prior to bid award,
or to reduce the scope of the project to match the loan funds offered by City.
b. Upon completion of the construction of the sewer, all dwellings constructed in
the R-3 District shall be connected to City's sewer.
c. City shall establish a loan repayment schedule of payments to be paid by
Developers to City at the time of the sale of each R-3 lot. Each such payment shall be
credited toward Developers' loan. Not later than five (5) years from the date of this
Agreement, the entire balance of the loan shall be paid by Developers to City.
d. As security for the loan by City to Developers, Developers shall, prior to the
award of a contract for the construction of the sewer, execute and deliver to City, in a
form acceptable to City a promissory note and mortgage encumbering the Property or
such other security as may be acceptable to the City Manager in the City Manager's
sole discretion.
5. City shall provide an interest-free loan to Developers in an amount not to
exceed $50,000 for the construction of a water main to serve Phase 1 of the R-3
District. To be eligible for this loan, the work must be bid and contracted by City and is
subject to City bidding requirements.

professional engineer and submit to City all plans, specifications, and construction
documents necessary for the water main for City for City review and approval and to
3
comply with the requirements of state law for public improvement contracts so that City
can bid the project and award the contract as a City project. If the cost of the selected
bid exceeds the loan funds offered by City, the Developers shall have the option to
contract separately for the improvements in excess of the loan funds offered, or to pay
City's cost of the improvements in excess of the loan funds offered to City prior to bid
award, or to reduce the scope of the project to match the loan funds offered by City.
b. Upon completion of the construction of the water main, all dwellings
constructed in the R-3 District shall be connected to the water main.
c. City shall establish loan repayment schedule of payments to be paid by
Developers to City at the time of the sale of each R-3 lot identified in Phase I of this
development. Each such payment shall be credited toward Developers' loan. Not later
than five (5) years from the date of this Agreement, the entire balance of the loan shall
be paid by Developers to City.
d. As security for the loan by City to Developers, Developers shall, prior to the
award of a contract for the construction of the water main, execute and deliver to City, in
a form acceptable to City a promissory note and mortgage encumbering the Property or
such other security as may be acceptable to the City Manager in the City Manager's
sole discretion.
e. City shall pay to Developers the difference between the material cost of 8-inch
and 12-inch water main for water main that the City Manager determines in the City
Manager's sole discretion is required by City for future development, provided that City
shall have no obligation to pay Developers such difference in the material cost for water
main which the City Manager determines in the City Manager's sole discretion is
required by Developers to support the construction and the development of the
Property.
6. The loans provided under paragraphs 5 and 6 are being made for services to
principally residential development. Any benefit to future commercial development is
incidental only.
7. City agrees if Developers' annexation application is approved by the City
Council, the resolution approving the application shall provide for the transition for the
imposition of city taxes against the Property. The Property shall be entitled to the
following partial exemption from taxation for city taxes for a period of five years:
a. For the first year, seventy-five percent (75%).
b. For the second year, sixty percent (60%).
c. For the third year, forty-five percent (45%).
d. For the fourth year, thirty percent (30%).
e. For the fifth year, fifteen percent (15%).
4
The five-year period shall begin when the Property is placed on City tax rolls by
Dubuque County. Lots sold after that date shall receive the partial exemption
percentage only for the remaining years of the five-year period.
8. City agrees to waive the $1,000 rezoning fee.
9. Failure by Developer to pay any connection fee when due shall constitute a
material breach of this Agreement for which City may suspend further performance of its
obligations under this Agreement until such breach is remedied.
10. This Agreement shall apply to and bind the heirs, successors, and assigns of
the parties.
11. All understandings and agreements, if any, previously made between the
parties hereto are merged in this Agreement, which alone fully and completely
expresses their understanding with respect to the subject of this Agreement. This
Agreement may not be modified except by an amendment executed by both of the
parties.
12. Upon execution of this Agreement, City shall promptly record this Agreement
with the Dubuque County Recorder.

ANNEXATION STAFF REPORT
Council Agenda: June 19, 2006
Property Location:
South of Derby Grange Road
Legal Description:
John W. & Sally Jo Herrig
Lot 1 of Lot 2 of the SW 11. of the SW 11., Lot 1 of Butler's Hill 2nd
Addition, Lot 3 of Butler's Hill 2nd Addition, Lot 2 of the N % of the SW
11., and SW 11. of the SW 11. of Section 8, T89N, R2E of the 5th P.M. in
Dubuque County, Iowa, including 0.647 acres of adjacent public right-
of-way for Derby Grange Road
Property Owner:
Proposed Land Use: Residential/Commercial
Proposed Zoning: R-3/C-3/AG
Existing Land Use: Agricultural
Existing Zoning: County A-1 Agricultural
Adjacent Land Use: North - Residential
East - Agricultural
South - Agricultural
West - Residential
Adjacent Zoning: North - County A-1
East - County A-1
South - County A-1
West - County A-1
Flood Plain: Yes
Total Area: 112.10 acres
Water: No
Existing Street Access: Yes
Storm Sewer: No
Sanitary Sewer: No
Purpose: To rezone to R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential, C-3 General
Commercial, and AG Agricultural, in conjunction with annexation.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is located south of Derby Grange Road. The
property is characterized as 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 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, 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 residential development.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: City utilities can be extended to serve the subject property.
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
ANNEXATION STAFF REPORT - Herrig
Page 2
Dubuque corporate limits. Based on 2001 IDOT counts, Derby Grange Road carries
approximately 650 average daily trips.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the property as ifs
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 areas of the City of Asbury
and the City of Sageville. 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 when combined with the Motor City/Corey annexation
request. It avoids the creation of an island of unincorporated territory when combined with the
Butler annexation.
State law requires that the City annex to the centerline of any adjoining County secondary
road, so 0.647 acres of adjacent public right-of-way for Derby Grange Road is induded in the
Herrig annexation request.
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 R-2 Two-Family
Residential rezoning rather than the R-3 requested by the Herrigs. The Commission also
recommended that the proposed C-3 General Commercial District utilize the rear yard setback
of 20 percent of lot depth regardless of zoning of adjacent property.
Staff recommends approval of the annexation request.

MEMORANDUM
June 20, 2006
TO: Michael Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager ~
RE: Voluntary Annexation Request -- Dean and Patricia Butler
INTRODUCTION
This memo transmits a new resolution approving the voluntary annexation application of Dean
and Patricia Butler for annexation of 8 acres of their property south of Derby Grange Road, in
conjunction with rezoning their property, and approval of a pre-annexation agreement. The
staff report, application materials, and the pre-annexation agreement also are enclosed.
DISCUSSION
After approval by the City Council, the State of Iowa's City Development Board must approve
the annexation for it to become final because the Butler property lies within two miles of the
City of Asbury and the City of Sageville.
The Butler property meets Iowa Code requirements for annexation when combined with the
Herrig annexation request that is pending before the City Council and the Motor City/Corey
annexation request that was approved at the June 19, 2006 meeting.
The Zoning Advisory Commission recommended rezoning to R-2 Two-Family Residential
zoning rather than the R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential originally requested by
the Butlers. The Butlers agreed verbally to the R-2 rezoning recommendation through their
agent, John Herrig. The City Council approved R-2 rezoning at the June 19, 2006 meeting.
The Butlers have signed the enclosed pre-annexation agreement, which provides for a waiver
of rezoning fees and a five-year transition on City property taxes the same as in the Herrig
and Motor City agreements, subject to City Council review and approval.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that City Council adopt the enclosed resolution approving the voluntary
annexation request of Dean and Patricia Butler, and approve the pre-annexation agreement
signed by the Butlers, and then direct staff to file the required documents with the State of
Iowa's City Development Board.

ANNEXATION STAFF REPORT
Council Agenda: June 19, 2006
Property Location: South of Derby Grange Road
Property Owner: Dean and Patricia Butler
Legal Description: Lot 2 Butler's Hill 2nd Addition, Section 8, T89N, R2E of 5th P.M.
Proposed Land Use: Residential
Proposed Zoning: R-3
Existing Land Use: Residential
Existing Zoning: County A-1/ R-1 Single-Family
Adjacent Land Use: North - Residential
East - Agricultural
South - Agricultural
West - Residential
Adjacent Zoning: North - County A-1
East - County A-1
South - County A-1
West - County A-1
Flood Plain: No
Total Area: 8 acres
Water: No
Existing Street Access: Yes
Storm Sewer: No
Sanitary Sewer: No
Purpose: To rezone to R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential for existing
home consistent with proposed Herrig residential development surrounding this
property, in conjunction with annexation.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is located south of Derby Grange Road.
The property is characterized as 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 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, 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 residential development.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: City utilities can be extended to serve the subject property.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The subject property would be served by access to the
planned residential subdivision of the surrounding Herrig property. The Herrig
ANNEXATION STAFF REPORT - Butlers
Page 2
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.
Based on 2001 IDOT 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 areas of the City of
Asbury and the City of Sageville. 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 when combined with
the Herrig and Motor City/Corey annexation requests.
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 rezoning
to R-2 Two-Family Residential rather than the R-3 requested by the Butlers.
Staff recommends approval of the annexation request.

MEMORANDUM
July 12, 2006
TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Voluntary Annexation Requests of John and Sally Jo Herrig, and Dean
and Patricia Butler
Planning Services Manager Laura Carstens is recommending approval of an
annexation agreement and a request for annexation of 120.747 acres of territory on the
northwest side of Dubuque, north of Asbury Plaza Shopping Center and south of Derby
Grange Road, and including 0.647 acres of County right-of-way in Derby Grange Road.
The request includes:
~ An application from John and Sally Jo Herrig for annexation of 112.10 acres of
their property south of Derby Grange Road, in conjunction with rezoning their
property to R-2 Two-Family Residential, C-3 General Commercial, and AG
Agricultural. In addition, 0.647 acres of adjacent County right-of-way to the
centerline of Derby Grange Road would be annexed.
~ An application from Dean and Patricia Butler for annexation of 8 acres of their
property south of Derby Grange Road, in conjunction with rezoning their property
to R-2 Two-Family Residential.
The annexation territory 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 Comprehensive Plan includes goals and objectives supporting annexation
of land for residential and commercial development that is readily served by City
infrastructure and utilities. This request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's
Land Use Element. The 2002 Proposed Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan
designated this area for commercial and residential development.
The Herrigs have requested City financial assistance to facilitate future development,
and pre-annexation agreements have been prepared for and signed by both the Herrigs
and the Butlers. The Butlers did not request City financial assistance; however, they
have signed a pre-annexation agreement providing a waiver of rezoning fees and a five-
year transition on City property taxes, the same as the Herrigs, as shown below:
The City agrees to provide for the transition for the imposition of City taxes against
the property for a period of five years;
a. For the first year, seventy-five percent (75%).
b. For the second year, sixty percent (60%).
c. For the third year, forty-five percent (45%).
d. For the fourth year, thirty percent (30%).
e. For the fifth year, fifteen percent (15%).
City staff has recommended the enclosed agreements with the Herrigs based on current
City policy and financial resources, with the following additional terms and conditions.
Herrig Agreement:
~ The City will construct a sanitary sewer to serve the Herrig property. The fee for
sanitary sewer connection of lots to City's sewer system will be as follows:
a. For the portion of the property designated as the A-1 District, the fee for
connection to the sewer system will be $5,000.00 provided that the A-1
District is developed and used exclusively for the Herrig's personal
residence. The fee will be paid to the City upon connection of their
personal residence to the City's sewer system.
b. The Herrigs must pay the $500.00 per acre connection fee for any
property designated C-3 General Commercial District. The Herrigs agree
to pay the connection fee to the City for each lot they sell at the time of the
sale of each lot and based upon the acreage of the lot. There is a balloon
payment of any remaining balance by no later than five (5) years from the
date of this Agreement based on the total acreage of the C-3 General
Commercial District.
c. The Herrigs must pay the $500.00 per acre connection fee for any
property designated R-2 Two-Family Residential District. The Herrigs
agree to pay the connection fee to the City for each lot they sell at the time
of the sale of each lot and based upon the acreage of the lot. There is a
balloon payment of any remaining balance by no later than five (5) years
from the date of this Agreement based on the total acreage of the R-2
Two-Family Residential District.
~ The City will provide an interest-free loan in an amount not to exceed $150,000
for the construction of a sanitary sewer to serve Phase 1 of the R-2 District. To
be eligible for this loan, the work must be bid and contracted by City and is
subject to City bidding requirements.
~ The City will establish a loan repayment schedule of payments to be paid by
Herrigs at the time of the sale of each R-2 lot. Each such payment will be
credited toward the Herrigs' loan. Not later than five (5) years from the date of
this agreement, the entire balance of the loan must be paid to the City.
~ The City will provide an interest-free loan to the Herrigs in an amount not to
exceed $50,000 for the construction of a water main to serve Phase 1 of the R-2
District.
~ The City will establish a loan repayment schedule of payments to be paid by
Herrigs at the time of the sale of each R-2 lot. Each such payment will be
credited toward the Herrigs' loan. Not later than five (5) years from the date of
this agreement, the entire balance of the loan must be paid to the City.
~ The loans provided under this agreement are being made for services to
principally residential development. Any benefit to future commercial
development is incidental only.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

a form acceptable to City a promissory note and mortgage encumbering the Property or
such other security as may be acceptable to the City Manager in the City Manager's
sole discretion.
e. City shall pay to Developers the difference between the material cost of 8-inch
and 12-inch water main for water main that the City Manager determines in the City
Manager's sole discretion is required by City for future development, provided that City

main which the City Manager determines in the City Manager's sole discretion is
required by Developers to support the construction and the development of the
Property.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS
FOLLOWS:
1. This Agreement is subject to the approval of the Secretary of State, after the
exhaustion of any and all appeals from the action of the Secretary of State or the
expiration of the time within which such appeals may be brought, approving the
voluntary annexation of the Property. In the event the Secretary of State approves such
annexation as to less than all of the Property, this Agreement shall be null and void with
respect to any of the Property not included by the Secretary of State.
2. Upon the filing of Developers' application for voluntary annexation, City shall
promptly consider the application and if the application is approved by the City Council,
transmit the application to the Secretary of State, Dubuque County Board of
Supervisors, each affected public utility, and the Iowa Department of Transportation as
provided by law. Developers agree not to withdraw the application or any part thereof
after its filing with City.
3. City agrees to design improvements to the two curves between the bridge on
North Cascade Road and Edval Lane within two (2) years of the execution of this
agreement and to construct said improvements no later than the end of the construction
season in 2012, and earlier if funding is available at the sole discretion of City.
Developer agrees to provide City with such portion of the Property as City determines is
necessary for public right-of-way to accommodate said improvements, at appraised
value determined as follows: City and Developers shall have prepared an appraisal of
the portion of the Property needed for public right-of-way by a certified appraiser
2
experienced in appraising similar types of properties in the Dubuque area mutually
selected by City and Developers. If either party is dissatisfied with the appraisal or the
parties cannot agree on an appraiser, each shall appoint its own appraiser, each of
which shall be experienced in appraising similar types of properties in the Dubuque area
and the two appointed by the parties shall select a third experienced appraiser to
appraise the property. The average appraised values of the three appraisers shall be
the appraised value of the portion of the Property needed for public right-of-way for the
purposes of this section 3. In accordance with Iowa Code, if City vacates any portion of
the Property purchased from Developer as public right-of-way, said excess right-of-way
shall be offered to the Developer as original owner first. The price at which the excess
right-of way will be offered to Developer will be the price paid by the City to Developer
for said public right-of-way and surveying, platting, publication and filing fees for
vacating said public right-of-way shall be the City's cost.
4. City and Developers agree that the following terms and conditions of this
Agreement as stated in Sections 5 - 11 below shall not apply to that portion of the
Property legally described as Lot 2 of Valentine Place No.3, containing 9.457 acres, as
said lot is under contract for purchase by NCR Developers and shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of the Agreement between City and NCR Developers. City and
Developers further agree that the following terms and conditions of this Agreement as
stated in Sections 5 - 11 below shall apply to that portion of the Property legally
described as Parcel A of Valentine Place No.3, containing 49.165 acres.

of the City of Dubuque for the Property and the commencement of construction by
Developer of the public improvements required by the resolution approving such plat:
a. City shall not later than twelve (12) months after the commencement of
such construction at City's sole expense extend a sanitary sewer collector
through the abutting property to the boundary line of the Property, and City
agrees to acquire any easements needed from the abutting property for
extension of said collector.
b. Developers agree to pay the City for the cost of the construction of a
collector from the boundary line to a developable point. Upon sale of each
lot, Developer shall pay to City an amount determined by dividing the cost
of construction of said collector by the number of lots served by the
collector. A balloon payment for any remaining balance shall be paid to
City not later than five (5) years from the date the collector is accepted by
the City Council. This cost will be calculated based on the actual
construction cost of that portion of the collector line.
c. Developers acknowledge that the fee for connection of lots in the Property
to City's sanitary sewer interceptor shall be $500.00 per acre excluding
areas delineated as flood plain on the FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map).

the Property that the Developers shall connect to said collector and shall
pay the interceptor connection charge established by City in the amount of
3
$500.00 per acre the entire subdivision excluding areas delineated as
flood plain on the FIRM pro rated on a per lot basis, at the time of
connection of the lots to City's sanitary sewer system.
e. City shall have no obligation to issue a permit for connection of any lot to
the sanitary system prior to the payment of the fee for such lot.
f. Developers shall, prior to the award of a contract for the construction of
the collector lines, execute and deliver to City, in a form acceptable to City
a promissory note and such other non-mortgage security as may be
acceptable to the City Manager in the City Manager's reasonable
discretion.
6. City agrees that upon final approval of a final subdivision plat by the City Council
of the City of Dubuque for the Property and the commencement of construction by
Developers of the public improvements required by the resolution approving such plat:
a. City shall not later than twelve (12) months after the commencement of
such construction at City's sole expense extend a water main along North
Cascade Road, beginning at the new proposed entrance to NCR
development currently identified as Phase II of said development and
continuing south along North Cascade Road to Edval Lane approximately
1,630 feet, as shown on attached Exhibit B-3.
b. Developer shall pay a water connection fee for this development. This fee
is calculated based on $11.00 per lineal foot of property street footage
along North Cascade Road. This current connection fee is estimated to
be $17,930. This fee shall be paid prior to connection to the city water
system.
c. Individual water service tap fees per lot must be paid prior to the actual
water tap being installed. This fee is based on the size of the service line
and is subject to change annually.
d. Upon completion of the construction of the water main, all dwellings
constructed shall be connected to the water main.
7. City agrees to waive the $1,000 rezoning fee for the Property.

suspend further performance of its obligations under this Agreement until such breach is
remedied.

parties.
