Code of Ordinances_Home-Based Business (Firearms Sales)Members of the Council & Honorable Mayor, Thank you for the opportunity to address you on the very important issue facing us today. My name is Rick Holman. I am the chairman of the Dubuque County Republicans, but today I come before you as a citizen of Dubuque and a father of 4. Among us today are Republicans, Democrats, and independents with deep concerns over the pending changes to our city's zoning code, and the dangerous consequences that may result from such action. I speak of the pending permanent ban on home based Federal Firearms Businesses. According to 2 T.H. Online polls dated August 31st 2013, 66% of respondents believed Firearms businesses should be allowed to operate from home. 77% of respondents believed the city of Dubuque should not regulate home businesses. These poll respondents have a legitimacy for their votes. 1. This ban does Nothing to protect the citizens of Dubuque. A permanent ban on FFL home -based businesses will only promote gun buyers to seek other less- regulated means of purchasing firearms. Private sales will NOT be registered or regulated by the Federal Government; thus promoting more unregulated sales and gun ownership throughout Dubuque putting our children at more risk. 2. These home based firearms dealers are heavily regulated by the United States Government, and they undergo a vigorous process for licensing that includes a Federal Background check, Finger Printing, and an In- person interview by a Federal Industry Operations Investigator. Firearms dealers are also subject to surprise audits of sales, and must maintain records of all sales for 5 years to assist federal authorities. 3. My family takes comfort knowing these home -based businesses follow Federal ATF regulations by conducting background checks and recording ALL firearms sales. I would like to address all four of the key arguments in favor of banning FFL HBB's in Dubuque: #1. Property Values - All of the realtor letters submitted to the council in previous arguments had zero facts, just opinion. Here are the facts concerning the property values of the three existing FFL HBB's: According to public records, 654 Kane street sold in 2004 for $115,000.00 It has re -sold twice since then. Once in 2010 for $145,000 and again 2 years later in 2012 for $148,500. In the 9 years since the last FFL HBB permit was issued in 2005, 654 Kane St. Sale value has increased $33,500.00 1867 Phyllrich Drive Has not been sold since 2005, but the neighboring home at 1862 Phyllrich drive was bought in 2006 for $105,000.00. It was then sold again in 2013 for $128,000.00 a gain of $23,000.00. No public records were available on sales of 2448 Windsor Ave., but the assessed value has increased #2.Increased Traffic - Assistant City Planner, Guy Hemmenway's official response: In general, it has been Planning Services staff's experience that a business of this nature tends to generate little traffic, demand on parking, noise or activity over and above that normally found in a residential neighborhood. There are a number of other permitted home -based businesses that may generate more traffic. I urge you to support the Dubuque City Planner's findings. #3.Safety and Security - A Memorandum to Dubuque Zoning Commission The applicant also states that based on the nature of the firearms there is the possibility there could be security issues a criminal element to be tempted to rob the home. This exists; however, to what degree and how it is different burglary is not clear. Again, staff can only base their experience with existing firearm sales and from Police reports. reports listed ZERO calls specific to the firearms business. I urge strongly consider the City's Memorandum when making your decision. states: business, and the potential for potential certainly from any other home assessment on (Police you to #4.Problems Caused by that type of business - Assistant City Planner, Guy Hemmenway's official response: Since the first firearm sales home -based business was approved in 2005, the City of Dubuque's Planning Services Department has received no complaints from the neighbors. The City of Dubuque Police Department has also listed no calls for service at these addresses specific to the firearms business. I urge you to consider the success of these previous approvals when you cast your votes. My final appeal to you, our elected representatives, is to maintain the current standards outlined in the Unified Development Code that will help us decide on a case -by -case basis which applications are approved and /or denied based on their merits. Maintaining our ability to decide these FFL HBB cases individually, will allow more background checks through internet sales, not less. It will allow more federal regulation by Federal experts, not less. It will allow more safe, transparent firearms sales, not less. And finally, it will allow all of us piece of mind that our children are at less risk of unscrupulous gun sales than they otherwise would be by banning home -based Federal Firearms Licensees in the city of Dubuque. For the safety of our children and our families, allow FFL HBB's to continue. Passing this permanent ban will only put our families and our children at more risk.

I have been trained to a level that may exceed local police. I am not a threat to anyone and my concern is for self defense. I don't want the city interfering with my rights under 2nd amendment. You should be proud of the fact that private citizens are protecting themselves and supporting the police. Plus you don't have to pay them to do it!

Since we will be unable to attend the council meeting, we are writing to voice our very strong objections to home -based gun businesses. These businesses belong in well lighted, well patrolled commercial areas. People buy a home in a residential area because of the nature of the area, quiet and peaceful. If someone sells Avon, or jewelry, or cupcakes, that does not change the character of the neighborhood. Guns, by their very nature, are not a "peaceful" entity. Residential areas are not as frequently patrolled, or as well lighted. Should I be afraid to come home alone at night because of the persons who might be lurking near the gun business next door or down the street? If I decide to sell my home, I will be required to "disclose" there is a gun business in the neighborhood. The resale value on my home will certainly be lower, due to this business. My backyard connects to a park, making my property advantageous for anyone with children. But when they find out there is a gun business in the neighborhood, they'll change their mind. I certainly would, in their position. Also, those persons who might apply for a license may not be as honest and upstanding as they pretend to be while pleading their case with the police or other officials. Persons with anger - management problems, or mental instability or other problems are quite often very good at "hiding or covering up" these traits. Would you want someone like this opening a gun business next door to your home? There's a place for this business, and it definitely is NOT in residential areas. Since the first gun based license in Dubuque was issued in 2005, gun violence has been erupting at a dangerous pace all over the country. Think Sandy Hook, think Aurora, CO, think Dubuque, IA. (Ten to fifteen years ago these were unheard of acts of violence.) Many people entering these business will be normal, average people, but some will certainly be the type you would not want in your neighborhood. The safety of those in close proximity must be considered. After someone is injured or killed, it will be too late to say "We shouldn't have allowed these businesses." We have no problem with people owning guns for their own protection or for hunting. But don't allow their sale in residential areas. I don't want to live in fear in my own home.

Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Request to Prohibit Firearm Sales as a Home -based Business DATE: January 27, 2014 This memorandum transmits follow -up information regarding an application for a zoning text amendment filed by Beverly Knoeckel to amend the City's Unified Development Code (UDC), to prohibit firearm sales as a home -based business. The City Council gave the request a first reading on August 19, 2013. On September 3, 2013, the City Council tabled the request and returned the item to staff for a work session to be scheduled at a future date. The Zoning Advisory Commission held a public hearing on the UDC text amendment on August 7, 2013. The Commission's recommendation in support of the request and accompanying documents submitted previously to the City Council are enclosed. Also enclosed are background memos from Planning Services staff regarding locations of federal firearms license holders in Dubuque, a comparison of zoning regulations for home -based businesses in Iowa cities, and a history of Dubuque's zoning regulations for home -based businesses. The enclosed memo from City Attorney Barry Lindahl provides some guidance on several legal issues that may apply to prohibiting firearm sales as a home occupation in certain zoning districts. At this time, the City Council can remove the item from the table, and then receive and file the enclosed materials from the Commission and staff, schedule a work session, and /or take other action as the City Council deems appropriate.

Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager SUBJECT: History of City of Dubuque Regulations for Horne-Based Businesses DATE: November 1, 2013 Introduction This memorandum provides a historical review of regulations for home occupations, now called home -based businesses, found in the City of Dubuque's zoning codes from the original 1934 Zoning Ordinance to the 2009 Unified Development Code (UDC). Discussion In the City's 1934 Zoning Ordinance, the Use Regulations for the Single Family Residential District allowed a professional office or studio of a physician, surgeon, doctor, dentist, architect, musician, lawyer or similar profession. No goods could be displayed publicly. No sign or advertisements were allowed beyond the person's name and profession. In the City's 1975 Zoning Ordinance, a section was created for Home Occupations. These were restricted to accessory uses in any residential or office residential district in accordance with seven (7) standards that are similar to the current UDC provisions. In the City's 1985 Zoning Ordinance, Home Occupations were allowed as accessory uses in principal residential dwellings, opening them up to any zoning district, in accordance with the regulations for that district and a set of standards that are similar to the current UDC provisions. Lists of permitted and prohibited home occupations were described. Home occupations not found on either list could be allowed if granted a conditional use permit by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. In the 2009 UDC, the City Council renamed the section on Home Occupations to Home - Based Businesses, and added four (4) businesses to the list of prohibited uses. The City Council retained most of the 1985 provisions, but increased the total floor area from 25% to 50% and allowed advertisement of an address. The regulations are enclosed for comparison. ARTICLE 7: SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS ❖ This Article includes home -based businesses (currently referred to as home occupations), telecommunication towers, wind energy conversion systems, and adult entertainment establishments. The lists of permitted and prohibited home -based businesses have been updated. At the May 27, 2009 work session, the City Council reviewed Articles 6 through 10 of the proposed UDC. Planning Services staff have reviewed the City Council's questions, and prepared the following responses regarding their UDC issues: 1. Allowing a home -based business to occupy more than 25% of a home. The City Council discussed allowing a home -based business to occupy more than 25% of total floor area. Council Members discussed raising this percentage to no more than 50% of total floor area. We discussed this request with Zoning Enforcement Officer Sue Brennan. Sue said that she did not have any concerns regarding the increased floor area for a home -based business up to 50 %; however, the home -based business, as an accessory use, must be clearly incidental and subordinate to the primary use of the premises for a dwelling unit. 2. Allowing a home -based business to advertise an address. The City Council discussed allowing a home -based business to advertise an address. We discussed this request with Zoning Enforcement Officer Sue Brennan. Sue said that she did not have any concerns regarding the elimination of the requirement that a home -based business not use its address to advertise. She said that often the addresses are listed in the phone book and, therefore, impossible for the resident to remove in a timely basis. She did request that we replace the existing language on advertising with a prohibition on advertising a home -based business with either an on- premise or off - premise sign. Masterpiece an the Mississippi 1 0-- L\ - I TO: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager Kyle Kritz, Associate Planner FROM: Guy Hemenway, Assistant Planner --- SUBJECT: Comparison of Home -Based Businesses in Iowa Cities Dubuque October 31, 2013 INTRODUCTION At the request of the City Manager, I have surveyed zoning regulations for home -based businesses in seven Iowa cities. I reviewed the zoning ordinances from the cities of Council Bluffs, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Ames, Davenport, Iowa City, and Waterloo. All of these cities specifically regulate what are termed either home -based businesses (HBBs) or home occupations. I have also provided additional information regarding HBB related activity that has historically been experienced by the Planning Services Department. BACKGROUND The zoning ordinances in the above - mentioned cities share a number of similarities in their approach to regulating HBBs. It is clearly the intent of these ordinances to permit HBBs to operate in a residential setting provided they do not generate impacts that disrupt the neighborhood, affect property values and diminish the neighbor's quality of life. Several ordinances note that HBBs should not be discernible from the street, or should be "invisible" to the neighborhood. DISCUSSION In the zoning ordinances reviewed, all list both the permitted and the prohibited HBBs. The ordinances' list of prohibited uses is very similar and has been developed over the years in response to those HBBs that have demonstrated that they are chronically disruptive and typically have negative impacts on the neighborhood. These businesses by their nature usually result in outside storage, are noisy and generate traffic and demand on parking that is visible in the neighborhood. All of the ordinances also provide a general set of regulations that HBBs must follow. Two of the cities' ordinances require prior approval through a special use or conditional use permit for every HBB. Comparison of home -based business in mid -sized Iowa cities Page 2 All of the ordinances require that a HBB be customarily incidental and subordinate to the principal residential use. They all apply restrictions to the operation of a HBB. Some of the restrictions common to all of the home -based business ordinances are: 1) Limit the business to 50% or less of the square footage of the home. 2) Limit or prohibit exterior signage. 3) Prohibit business - related exterior storage. 4) Prohibit equipment storage. 5) Prohibition of auto and small engine - related businesses. 6) Prohibit standard retail sales 7) Prohibit animal - related uses, such as kennels, stables, dog day care or training. 8) Limit who can be employed by home -based businesses. 9) Limit on -site customer contact. 10) Limit traffic generation. 11) Limit excessive on- street parking. 12) Require special regulations for day care. Many of the ordinances reviewed specifically list a home office as a permitted HBB. The general intent of the ordinances regulating home offices is to limit employees to only immediate family living in the residence, or to severely limit the number of non- resident employees. All of the ordinance language regarding home offices, whether it is an insurance or contractors office, limit on -site customer contact and prohibit on -site storage of equipment. Most cities prohibit beauty salons; however, some allow them with restrictions. Ames is the only one of the seven cities that specifically prohibits firearm sales. It appears that the HBB regulations outlined in the ordinances surveyed for the cities in Iowa were very similar, and are likely typical of HBB ordinances nationwide. Their intent is to allow businesses to operate in a residential setting while being sensitive to the residential character of the neighborhood. The cities that drafted these ordinances also recognize, I believe, that HBBs often: 1) Serve as a secondary income for a family; 2) Serve as a way to start business for those with limited resources; Comparison of home -based business in mid -sized Iowa cities Page 3 3) Allow businesses to establish themselves and grow with a limited initial expenditure; 4) Serve as an affordable home office for on- and off- premise businesses with customer contact by phone, fax or Internet as well as business related activity such as payroll, marketing and billing being permitted; 5) Serve as retirement income for individuals; and, 6) Are an important part of the local economy. The City of Dubuque's HBB regulations have been in place and have only changed slightly since 1985. The City's HBB regulations are typical and vary little from the other cities in Iowa that were reviewed. The City's code provides general guidelines and lists both permitted and prohibited HBBs. If a HBB is not listed, a citizen has the ability to apply for a Conditional Use Permit through the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA). This process requires that the applicant describe the business in detail and allows the neighbors to provide input at a public hearing. Notification of the proposed conditional use and the date and time of the ZBA public hearing are mailed to property owners within 200 feet of the subject property. The ZBA considers specific review criteria for conditional uses and has the ability to mandate additional restrictions to the proposed business. This process has worked well in the past, typically with a couple of applications a year. Most have been approved and none, that I am aware of have required follow -up enforcement. It is my opinion that the City's HBB regulations have worked well for both the home - based business person and their neighborhoods. Many of these businesses operate "under the radar" with little City oversight as they are essentially "invisible" to the neighborhood. When a HBB violates the established regulations, or begins to grow beyond its residential limits, City staff will hear from the neighbors and intervene on their behalf. This rarely occurs, and when it does staff can determine if the business is permitted, if it is operating in a compliant fashion and /or if it requires a Conditional Use Permit. Planning staff then informs the business owner of the measures needed to correct the problems. CONCLUSION All of the ordinances reviewed, including the City of Dubuque's code, recognize that HBBs, at their inception and as they evolve and grow, can generate commercial activity and resultant negative impacts that are not appropriate in a residential area. These impacts can affect the use, value and enjoyment of the adjacent residential properties and the neighborhood in general. All of the cities reviewed offer guidelines to help mitigate these impacts, while still encouraging HBBs and recognizing their importance to both the business owner and the local economy. Comparison of home -based business in mid -sized Iowa cities Page 4 It is staff's opinion that Dubuque's HBB regulations are typical of most cities ordinances in their attempt to balance the ability of home -based businesses to operate while allowing residential neighborhoods to remain mostly unaffected.

This memorandum provides information on places in Dubuque where people can purchase firearms. DISCUSSION The list of federal firearm license holders includes large retail stores, Dick's, Theisen's and Wal -Mart, as well as specialty establishments such as Central Range, and individual federal firearm license holders who operate as a home -based business. The information provides the assessed valuation of the property for the license holder as well as the property tax paid by the license holder for the most recent calendar year available.

Part of the problem is businesses like Theisen's have a Dubuque HQ so you have to filter out all of their other stores around the Midwest. Then you get WalMart & Dicks that get their licenses from the state where their HQ is located, plus on a smaller scale where a licensee is in East Dubuque for a Dubuque business. So after sorting and filtering several ways I came up with the attached list of FFL's located in the City limits. There are 16 of them with 14 being type 1 dealers (Dealer in Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices - Includes Gunsmiths) and two being type two dealers (Pawnbroker in Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices). None of these are curio /relic FFL's by this list. Those are believed to be 1 year licenses as opposed to 3 year licenses which may explain the difference from Sheriff Vrotsos' application file.

Van Milligen City Manager DATE: January 3, 2014 RE: Home Occupation Zoning Regulations The purpose of this memorandum is to provide some guidance on several legal issues that may apply to a zoning classification prohibiting certain home occupations in certain zoning districts, including zoning regulations relating to gun sales. Legal Standards for Zoning Regulations The general standards for zoning regulations were summarized by the Iowa supreme court in Molo Oil Co. v. The City Of Dubuque, 692 N.W.2d 686 (Iowa 2005): • Zoning decisions are "an exercise of the police powers delegated by the State to municipalities." • Zoning regulations must be made in accordance with a comprehensive plan and designed to encourage efficient urban development patterns and to promote health and the general welfare. • Zoning regulations must be made with reasonable consideration, among other things, as to the character of the area of the district and the peculiar suitability of such area for particular uses, and with a view to conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout such city. • A zoning ordinance is valid if it has any real, substantial relation to the public health, comfort, safety, and welfare, including the maintenance of property values. • Zoning ordinances carry with them a strong presumption of validity. • The party asserting the invalidity of the zoning regulation has the burden of proving the zoning regulation is unreasonable, arbitrary, capricious, or discriminatory. If the reasonableness of a zoning ordinance is fairly debatable, the court will not substitute its judgment for that of the legislative body. The reasonableness of a zoning ordinance is fairly debatable when for any reason it is open to dispute or controversy on grounds that make sense or point to a logical deduction, and where reasonable minds may differ; or where the OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DUBUQUE, IOWA SUITE 330, HARBOR VIEW PLACE, 300 MAIN STREET DUBUQUE, IA 52001 -6944 TELEPHONE (563) 583 -4113 / FAX (563) 583 -1040 / EMAIL balesq @cityofdubuque.org evidence provides a basis for a fair difference of opinion as to its application to a particular property. A zoning regulation which creates different classifications of property, such as a regulating prohibiting gun sales in residential districts, also must meet equal protection requirements. Those requirements were discussed by the Iowa supreme court in Ames Rental PropertyAss'n v. City of Ames, 736 N.W.2d 255 (Iowa 2007): • The first step of an equal protection claim is to identify the classes of similarly situated persons singled out for differential treatment. • If the claimed dissimilar treatment does not involve a suspect class or a fundamental right, any classification made by the statute need only have a rational basis. • Under the rational basis test, the court must determine whether the ordinance in question is rationally related to a legitimate governmental interest. • Under this deferential standard, the zoning ordinance is valid unless the relationship between the classification and the purpose behind it is so weak the classification must be viewed as arbitrary or capricious. • A statute or ordinance is presumed constitutional and the challenging party has the burden to negate every reasonable basis that might support the disparate treatment. • The City is not required or expected to produce evidence to justify its legislative action. • A legislative judgment is presumed to be supported by facts known to the city council, unless facts judicially known or proved preclude that possibility. • In the context of zoning, legitimate government interests include promoting the health, safety, morals, or the general welfare of the community • Bases for a zoning ordinance include promoting a sense of community, sanctity of the family, quiet and peaceful neighborhoods, low population, limited congestion of motor vehicles and controlled transiency. • The police power is not confined to the elimination of filth, stench, and unhealthy places. It is ample to lay out zones where family values, youth values, and the blessings of quiet seclusion and clean air make the area a sanctuary for people. • Governing bodies have a legitimate interest in promoting and preserving neighborhoods that are conducive to families - particularly those with young children. Quiet neighborhoods with a stable population and low traffic are laudable goals. • It is the City's prerogative to fashion remedies to problems affecting its residents. If the ordinance proves to be ineffective, then the elected city council may change course and amend or repeal it. The court's power to declare a statute or ordinance unconstitutional is tempered by the court's respect for the legislative process. Under the rational basis test, we must generally defer to the city council's legislative judgment. • The courts will not overturn such a statute unless the varying treatment of different groups or persons is so unrelated to the achievement of any 2 combination of legitimate purposes that the court can only conclude that the legislature's actions were irrational. Zoning Regulations and Gun Sales A recent federal case considered the validity of zoning regulations prohibiting gun stores within 500 feet of any residentially zoned district. Teixeira v. County of Alameda, 2013 WL 4804756 (N.D.CaI. 2013). The opinion provides some general guidance on zoning regulations and gun sales. The opinion notes that the United States Supreme Court's recent Second Amendment decisions have cautioned that nothing in those opinions "should be taken to cast doubt on ... laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms." The United States Supreme Court has not recognized any constitutional right to sell or purchase guns. 2013 WL 4804756 *6. The opinion in County of Alameda also noted that the ordinance in question prohibiting gun stores within 500 feet of any residentially zoned district "is based on important governmental objectives:" Alameda County has an "interest in protecting public safety and preventing harm in populated, well - traveled, and sensitive areas such as residentially -zoned districts." Reply 6. It "has an interest in protecting against the potential secondary effects of gun stores" and "a substantial interest in preserving the character of residential zones." Id. The Supreme Court has held that "[t] he State's interest in protecting the well -being [and] tranquility ... of the home is certainly of the highest order." Frisby v. Schultz, 487 U.S. 474, 484 (1988). The Ninth Circuit also held that local governments "have a substantial interest in protecting the aesthetic appearance of their communities" and "in assuring safe [ ] circulation on their streets." Foti v. City of Menlo Park, 146 F.3d 629, 637 (9th Cir. 1998); see also Schneider v. State of N.J., Town of Irvington, 308 U.S. 147, 160 (1938) (holding that municipalities have an interest in "public safety, health, [and] welfare "). Second, there is a reasonable fit between the Ordinance and its objectives. Alameda County's Ordinance only regulates where a gun store may be located, restricting them from being within 500 feet of sensitive places. While keeping a gun store 500 feet away from a residential area does not guarantee that gun - related violence or crimes will not occur, the law does not require a perfect match between the Ordinance's means and objectives, nor does the law require the Ordinance to be foolproof. * * * * In response to the equal protection challenge to the ordinance, the court said: 3 The Ordinance passes the rational basis test. The plaintiffs have not "allege[d] facts sufficient to overcome the presumption of rationality that applies to government classifications." See Wroblewski v. City of Washburn, 965 F.2d 452, 460 (7th Cir. 1992) (applying the rational basis standard on a motion to dismiss). Under a section titled "Facts Relating to the '500 Foot Rule,' " the plaintiffs merely state in conclusory fashion that the Ordinance "is not reasonably related to any possible public safety concerns a retail gun store might raise ... [n]or does Alameda County articulate how the '500 Foot Rule' is narrowly tailored to achieve any legitimate government interest." FAC ¶ 63. Without pleading facts to support these conclusions, the plaintiffs have not sufficiently pleaded a cause of action. Nonetheless, the defendants explain that the 500 —feet rule is intended to "protect[ ] public safety and prevent[ ] harm in populated, well - traveled, and sensitive areas such as residentially -zoned districts," as well as to "protect[ ] against the potential secondary effects of gun stores" and to "preserv[e] the character of residential zones." Reply 6. They also justify their classification of gun stores separate from other retail stores based on "the many state and federal laws that regulate retail firearm sales." Br. 7 (citing FAC ¶¶ 17, 19 -25). As discussed above, these are legitimate aims and rationales for a local government to act upon. To establish the constitutionality of the Ordinance, the defendants do not have to demonstrate that treating gun stores differently from other retailers is the best way to achieve those goals. The Ordinance satisfies the rational basis test. Preemption It has been suggested that Iowa Code Sec. 724.28 preempts zoning regulations prohibiting gun sales as a home occupation in a residential district. That section provides as follows: Prohibition of regulation by political subdivisions. A political subdivision of the state shall not enact an ordinance regulating the ownership, possession, legal transfer, lawful transportation, registration, or licensing of firearms when the ownership, possession, transfer, or transportation is otherwise lawful under the laws of this state. An ordinance regulating firearms in violation of this section existing on or after April 5, 1990, is void. In our opinion, such a regulation only regulates where firearms may be sold, and not the "ownership, possession, legal transfer, lawful transportation, registration or licensing of firearms." Even if such a regulation arguably regulates "legal transfer ", it is only preempted if such transfer "is otherwise lawful under the laws of this state." The "laws of this state" include the law which allows cities to adopt zoning regulations, which would include regulations prohibiting gun sales as a home occupation in a residential district. 4 Finally, we would like to emphasize that nothing in this memorandum is intended to suggest that a regulation prohibiting gun sales as a home occupation in a residential district is or is not appropriate, but rather, only that, in the opinion of the City Attorney's Office, the foregoing authorities would support a regulation prohibiting gun sales as a home occupation in a residential district.

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 Beverly Knockel, spoke in favor of the request, reviewing how firearm sales are not an appropriate home -based business, citing concerns for neighborhood safety, potential for increased chance of burglaries, and negative impact on property values. The applicant reviewed a petition submitted in support of the proposed text amendment and email letters from realtors speaking to the impact on property value in relation to the presence of a firearm sales business in a neighborhood. The applicant indicated she supported that people have the right to bear arms but not the right to sell them commercially in a residential neighborhood. Staff reviewed the staff report, reviewing the current list of allowed and prohibited home occupations, and that home -based businesses not listed are reviewed by the Zoning Board of Adjustment as a conditional use. Staff reported that the Zoning Board of Adjustment has previously approved three existing home -based firearm sales business. Staff noted that the Police Department reports no calls for service to any of the three home -based firearm businesses addresses related to the firearm sales. There were several public comments in favor of the text amendment to prohibit home - based firearm sales as it is inappropriate in a residential neighborhood from a safety and property value perspective, and that there is sufficient space available in commercially -zoned areas of the community. Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request. Commissioner Smith asked if the proposed text amendment would impact existing home -based firearm sales businesses. Staff replied they would be grandfathered. Commissioner Hardie felt the applicant has made a measured request to only list firearm sales as a prohibited home - based business as there are opportunities for firearm sales to take place in commercial areas of the community. Recommendation By a vote of 5 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve the request. A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.

I am Beverly Knockel.1 hope that you have had a chance to look over the packet I sent to you. The packet contained the materials my neighborhood used to convince the Zoning Board of Adjustment to turn down the request for a Conditional Use Permit to be granted in my neighborhood. Plus three additional items, the Sandy Hook Promise and an On -line and paper petition containing 370 signatures supporting the prohibition of fire arm businesses in residential neighborhoods. 1 would like to ask at this time for anyone here who signed one of these petitions or just supports prohibiting fire arm businesses in residential neighborhoods to raise their hand. In the neighborhood packet is the petition circulated through our neighborhood only. The results, 44 against and 1 in favor, more than show how much our neighborhood did not want this type of business, yes we proved that we did not want any business in our neighborhood but we also proved our point that this "type" of business should not be allowed. I felt that you needed to see how we argued the Sections of the Unified Development Code for business reasons and type of business reasons. The four letters from the realtors are self - explanatory and the web articles and the Sandy Hook Promise relate to the reasons why the nature of a fire arm business and residential neighborhoods do not go together. My neighborhood feels so strongly about this that they have taken up a collection to pay the Application Fee for this process. We do not want any neighborhood in Dubuque to have to fight this as we did, and strongly feel that preventing this type of business in a residential district is the way to protect ourselves and our community. I have talked to several Neighborhood Assdociation Presidents and several have gotten back to me to tell me their association wholeheartedly support this request. Dubuque has received many prestigious designations and awards throughout the years. • 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 100 Best Communities for Young People by America's Promise Alliance • 2010 LIVCOM BY LivCom Management a UK registered charity • 2010 Nation's Best Small Cities to Raise a Family by Forbes Magazine • 2007, 2012, 2013 All- America City by the National Civic League One of the five promises of the American Promise Alliance is "Safe Places." How can we, as a community make our children feel they live in a safe neighborhood when they may have to walk past a home that could be a Fire Arm Sales Business or even the adults who fear the type of people coming into their neighborhood. Two of the criteria for LivCom are "Best Practices and Improve our Quality of Life." I do understand that LivCom awards are more environmentally oriented BUT living in a residential neighborhood is the environment of those neighbors and I guarantee you that a gun business is neither a Best Practice or improves the quality of life for the people in that neighborhood. As far as the Forbes designation goes one of their criteria was "the rate of home ownership and housing affordability." I think the four letters from realtors more than adequately address all of the differences that could or would happen with these types of business in residential neighborhoods. Last but not least the National Civic League looks for cities with successful efforts to address pressing local challenges. The gun issue is rearing it's ugly head in Dubuque with what just happened last month with the shootings in the Jackson Park area. I think that the climate of this country toward firearms proves that this may not be resolved on the national level, yet, but we here in Dubuque know that we can resolve one area of it that will make our residential neighborhoods a safer and happier place to live. Without the fear of someone opening a firearm business next door. To quote Bob Dylan, "The Times They Are a Changing." 1 realize that there have been 3 Conditional Use Permits granted since 2005 in Dubuque for Internet Fire Arm Businesses. Since that time we have had Aurora, Colorado and Newtown. Both of these shooters used the internet to secure guns or ammunition. I am here tonight because when I mention that commercial fire arm businesses can open in residential neighborhoods, everyone 1 have talked to is shocked, that can't be they say to me. I say to them yes it can and someone tried to do it in my neighborhood. Please to keep the rest of Dubuque's neighborhoods safe and help curb the violence that is erupting in our city and country, make Fire Arm Businesses a prohibited business so it can't even be tried again. I want Dubuque to live up to the Sandy Hook Promise and we, be a community of change that does not allow the commercial sale of fire arms in residential neighborhoods. 1 realize that everyone has the right to bear arms in this country but not everyone has the right to commercially sell them in a residential neighborhood. Fire arm sales belong in a commercially zoned area. Because of traffic, safety and security, property values and the nature of firearm sales I am asking that you prohibit fire arm businesses in residential neighborhoods per Section 7.1.3 of the City of Dubuque's Unified Development Code. Do you have any questions regarding the packet or anything I have said. Thank you.

Thank you. Petition Material The following petition was signed exclusively by residents of Hawkeye Dr., Inwood Ave. and Buckeye Ct. It was solicited by people expressing their concerns over allowing an internet gun business to open at 910 Hawkeye Dr. The following concerns were discussed with the people who signed the petition: • Property Values • Increased Traffic • Safety and Security • Problems caused by the type of business Bev Knockel will be presenting the view of all people who signed the petition. As you will see, there was one person in favor of the business and everyone else who signed (44) against the business. The only reason that one person said he was in favor of the business is he thought it would make it easy for him to buy his guns next door. Now will this person use the Internet or just go next door to purchase his guns. To me that is off the street traffic not internet. Is it really fair to go against all the neighbors' feelings over the convenience and ease of one?

My reasoning used follows each section in bold and italic. Article 5: Zoning Districts Section 5 -2 R1 Single Family Residential The definition of a R -1 district: The R -1 District is the most restrictive residential district and is intended to protect low density residential areas from the encroachment of incompatible uses. The principal use of land in this district is for low density single- family dwellings and related recreational, religious and educational facilities Section 5 -2.2 Conditional Uses The following conditional uses may be permitted in the R -1 District, subject to the provisions of Section 8 -5: 1. Accessory dwelling unit 2. Bed and breakfast home 3. Keeping of horses or ponies 4. Keeping of hens 5. Licensed adult day services 6. Licensed child care center 7. Mortuary, funeral home, or crematorium 8. Off - street parking 9. Tour home 10. Tourist home 11. Wind energy conversion system This particular business is in no way similar to the above Permitted Conditional Uses. Article 8: Zoning Board of Adjustment Applications and Procedures Section 8 -5.4 Standards for Granting a Conditional Use Permit sub - sections F and H. F. The location and size of the conditional use, the nature and intensity of the activities to be involved or conducted in connection with it, the size of the site in relation thereto, and the location of the site with respect to streets giving access to the conditional use, shall be such that it will be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the district and neighborhood in which it is located. The nature and intensity of a gun business definitely is not in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the district and neighborhood in which it is located. As stated earlier our access is one way in and one way out. The code even uses the plural streets meaning more than one access point as I have stated we are only accessible by Peru Road and this is a major issue discussed amongst us. The business of selling guns does not belong in residential neighborhoods, it belongs in a neighborhood zoned for business not children walking to catch a school bus. H. The proposed conditional use will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located and will contribute to and promote the convenience and welfare of the public. I have presented documentation from realtors regarding property values and I really cannot see how it will contribute to and promote the convenience and welfare of the public, if anything I see a danger to the public because Internet guns sales is a major access point for a lot of the guns that have been used by sick people to kill a lot of innocent people. I also fear for the probability of break -ins both at their house and anyone else's in the neighborhood. I think that public interest should also be considered when you have a petition taken only in the affected area with only 1 in favor and all other residents against that type of business. This does not promote convenience with the way the residents want their neighborhood to be. If anything it promotes discord. Article 7: Supplemental Use Regulations Section 7 -1 Home Base Businesses 7 -1.1 General Provisions Sub- section C C. Services or sales conducted on the premises shall be by appointment only and shall not be oriented toward, or attract, off-the-street customer or client traffic. Just by the nature of this business I fear that people would be coming into our neighborhood to see where the business is located or if they can just buy a gun there. This is Dubuque and when word gets out on the Internet that someone on Hawkeye Dr. is selling guns out of their house we will have all kinds of looky loos besides the increased traffic created by the business. Also the people who like my one neighbor thinking it is a convenience to just go next door but why not drive up and see what he has! Because of the above mentioned Articles to the Code I feel that this business should not be allowed to be granted a Conditional Use for our Residential Neighborhood. I actually believe it should be listed as a Prohibited Business but that is another issue i will take up with the other Zoning Board. Again because of the likelihood of more traffic, negative property and resale values, and security and safety issues we please ask that you turn down this request. Thank you Realtor Letters Bev: I don't want to give a "shoot from the hip" type answer on this...but here's my thoughts... If someone has a gun (ie they are a hunter) and want to sell or buy a gun NOT as an on -going business, I think that should be okay. Looking at it from a "BUSINESS" point of view...is WAY different. It could make the "business" a target for less - than- desirable people who want guns. Even if it's "internet" buying and selling, the guns will be brought to and taken out of the business on more than a "regular" basis. I am not opposed to guns (we have a couple...a 12 gauge used for hunting and a pistol for target practice). I absolutely believe we should all have the right to bear arms...just not buy and sell them next door in a neighborhood "all the time ". "Residential" living should be about families enjoying their homes and their children being able to play safely without having concerns of less than desirables coming into the neighborhood. There's enough of that going on as it is. am sure, too, there would be a lot of decent people who travel in and out of the "business "...and probably most would be. But then there are the others that you wouldn't want to "attract" to your neighborhood. The sale of guns as a business should be done out of a business district and not in someone's backyard. In "my opinion "...if I brought clients into your neighborhood to buy a home and they found out the neighbor buys and sells guns for a living...they would probably move on to something else...I'd bet money on that. Another example of "what people look for when buying a home...they aren't usually attracted to "a busy street" if there is concern about child safety...common sense would tell you they wouldn't want to live next door to a "gun dealer" either. My last point...I doubt any gun business will be limited to "hunters "...so the type of some people coming to a gun dealer's door aren't going to be looking for a nice deer rifle! I wouldn't want to encourage "that type" to come to my neighborhood and most people wouldn't! Bev, I would prefer you kept my name anonymous and you could refer to me as a "local realtor" in your conversations. I am not afraid to voice my concerns, I just don't want to be miss quoted or get pulled into this at this point. I have enough to keep me busy. You may also check with Joe Leiser at the Board Office (he's the executive officer) to get his thoughts. I'm sure don't speak for every realtor, but I would guess the majority as to their experience with clients...no matter what they themselves might think. Good luck to you.

I have attached the web addresses if you want to view the actual article. http: / /ames. patch. com /articles/ firearms - home - businesses- banned -in -ames Firearms Home Businesses = anned hl Ames Ames City Council approved the third reading of an ordinance adding firearms sales to the list of prohibited home businesses Tuesday. Ames City Council Tuesday unanimously approved adding firearms sales to the list of prohibited home businesses for the third time making it law. George Seaton, who applied for a permit to sell firearms in his home in April, was given a one year permit which will be valid until April 2013, despite the new prohibition, W01 reported. Seaton has a Federal Firearms License, which allows him to sell firearms as a business so long as zoning laws allow it. Residents in Seaton's neighborhood petitioned the council to add firearms to the list of prohibited businesses after learning of his home business earlier this year, saying that they believed it could affect their property values. At an Oct. 9 City Council meeting neighbors of other in -home firearms sales businesses including Suzi Howk, told the council that they have seen no impact on their neighborhood as the result of similar businesses. Representatives from the Iowa Firearms Coalition, Liberty Iowa PAC and Campaign for Liberty also collected more than 300 signatures from residents who said they weren't in favor of the home occupation ban and filed the petition Oct. 9. Council members approved the third reading unanimously without discussion at the time of the vote. Animal hospitals, dancing and exercise studios, private dubs, restaurants, stables and kennels, repair or painting of motor vehicles and motorcycles are already on the list of prohibited home occupations. The ban doesn't affect private gun sales or firearms possession. This one is pretty close to home. It looks like it was pretty easy to get it through to ban it in Ames. It sounds like there were even people in favor of allowing it but the City Council still approved the ban. http: / /pleasanthill. patch. com /blog_ posts /10- reasons -to -ban -home- gun - dealers goasons to Ban Homo mo Gun DeakM6 Posted on November 8, 2012 at 2:23 pm You don't have to live in Pleasant Hill to be concerned about the ramifications of allowing Home Gun Dealers to operate in residential neighborhoods. Guns don't stay where they are sold. And illegal guns all start out as legal guns. Sales of firearms and ammunition, two dangerous products, belong in a commercial business zone with proper security and oversight, not in a residential neighborhood. The Contra Costa Brady Campaign urges you to attend the following meeting and SUPPORT A BAN on home or kitchen table gun dealers. SPECIAL MEETING: CITY OF PLEASANT HILL CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP ON FIREARMS & AMMUNITION SALES IN RESIDENTIAL -ZONED AREAS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2012, 6:00 P.M. Pleasant Hill City Hall Community Rooms, 100 Gregory Lane Here are 10 good reasons why you should be concerned about having your next door neighbor (Federal Firearms License or FFL dealer) selling guns and ammunition out of his home: 1. The safety of residents in close proximity to home -based firearm and ammunition sales poses concerns about its negative influence on children, the possible increase in violence and /or criminals in city residential neighborhoods, trafficked firearms, and the infrequency of federal and state inspections to adequately regulate these business operations once established; 2. Fire and /or explosive hazard caused by potentially large quantities of stored firearms and ammunition in close proximity to the homes of neighboring residents; 3. Potential theft of firearms and ammunition through burglary or robbery; 4. Inability to safely and securely store such firearms and ammunition in a home -based business where children are commonly present; 5. No assurance that appropriate measures are being taken to prevent the accessibility of firearms /ammunition by individuals prevented by law from possessing them Increased vehicular and foot traffic in residential areas caused by a firearms and ammunition sales business that could change the neighborhood's character and harm the quality of life; Probable negative impact on neighboring property values and requirement to "disclose" presence of home gun dealer upon sale of neighbors' homes; 8. Increased demands on local law enforcement resources to monitor numerous home gun dealers, or lack of any oversight by local police department; 9. Lack of sufficient federal or state inspections due to limited resources. (ATF reported in 2007 that it inspects each FFL, on average, only once every 17years); 10. Home gun dealers selling over the Internet are difficult to monitor. According to ATF, home -based Internet FFL gun dealers typically operate by setting up a website offering a variety of firearms and ammunition. The dealer responds to requests by placing orders to the manufacturer, and the firearms are sent to the dealer's home. He then sells them out of his house or redistributes them through the mail to another FFL dealer out of the area. 6. 7 Because of these concerns, cities and counties throughout California have adopted laws prohibiting kitchen table gun dealers. Keep your neighborhood safe by making your voice heard on November 15th. http: / /goo.gi /xb7Nz This article says it all for our neighborhood. 1 certainly hope you understand it is just not our neighborhood but neighborhoods all over the country that are fighting this issue. I have hi- lighted the areas that we feel affect our neighborhood and are fighting this business on but all points need to be considered. Actually 1 iii - lighted only the five areas pertinent to the Unified LJeve/upment (:ode for that meeting, but all 10 tai a pertinent to this meeting. A point of fact is the person in our neighborhood did not even have an alarm system in his house and when asked by a board member if he was going to get one he replied yes sometime, but an alarm system isn't a requirement for a Conditional Use Permit and this certainly should be for this type of business. Please look closely at all 10 reasons. http: / /www.sltrib.com /sitri b /news /54688854- 78 /leigh- business- gun -pla nning.html.csp Daybreak resident hopes to sell firearms from home Custom guns » Neighbors worry about idea because the subdivision is full of children. By cathy mckitrick The Salt Lake Tribune First Published Aug 13 2012 05:49 pm • Last Updated Nov 30 2012 11:32 pm Joseph Leigh believed he'd found a way to beat the recession with a new business in his South Jordan home: assembling and selling specialty guns. Selling firearms from his Daybreak house would be the key to bringing in a salary after Leigh was laid off last year, planning documents filed with the city show. He'd already operated a gun business out of his home when he lived in Pleasant View in 2010 and wanted to retry the endeavor. But that plan hit a snag when a neighbor raised concerns about gun sales in a subdivision full of children, leading the South Jordan Planning Commission to reject Leigh's request for a business license to operate the firearms business. But Leigh isn't giving up yet, and on Tuesday, he'll appeal his denial to the commission in an effort to secure a license for his home to operate Leigh Custom Arms LLC. He insists his gun business won't be a safety hazard. Leigh has said he intends to sell standard factory firearms upon request, but does not plan to carry inventory. Should his business grow to that point, Leigh told city planners he would move assembly and sales to a regular storefront. "Pre- manufactured parts will be ordered from several outside vendors and those parts will be assembled into the firearm," Leigh told city planners in an appeal letter. Leigh has an active federal license that allows him to manufacture firearms, a process he likened to assembling bicycles, according to city documents. Leigh said he also plans to offer gun training, with classroom work and target shooting taking place off -site from his home as part of his business. Licenses like the one Leigh requested, however, can be a hard sell to the commission, which is required by a city ordinance to deny a license for a home occupation business if any neighbors voice objections, said South Jordan City Planner Jake Warner. Notices were sent out to all residents within 300 feet of Leigh's home, Warner said. The planning board denied Leigh's request last month based on a neighbor's letter of concern about locating such a "high- risk" business in a residential area teeming with children, "where the homes are at times not even 10 feet from door to door." Leigh's chance to get a business license for his home isn't over yet, though. City ordinance allows applicants to appeal, Warner said, which Leigh filed late last month. In his letter of appeal, Leigh pledged to install steel grates over basement window wells and key. He also said it would take three to six weeks to fill customer orders. and to keep all guns under lock "This waiting period, along with the cost of the gun, is not typical for someone who would want to purchase a gun to commit a crime," Leigh told planners. Warner said it's likely the planning board will grant Leigh's request if all impacts can be mitigated. That approval, however, could later be appealed to the City Council, where Leigh's request for a business license could again be shot down. In early July, Holladay's Planning Commission approved a similar home -based firearms business over robust objections from neighboring residents. However, they did not pursue recourse from the City Council within the allowed io -day period and any further appeal must be filed in court. In other action, South Jordan's planning board will also consider a conditional use permit Tuesday for the city's first indoor shooting range in a commercial zone at 1231 W. South Jordan Parkway. The new business, called "The Gun Vault," will also sell firearms. The high - lighted text shows excactly what ! DO NOT want to happen in our neighborhood. This is the gun dealers' solution to more security. Open your business in a commercial district where bars are not out of place!!! http: / /www.wkbw.com/ home /Buffalo- Man - Wants -to -Sell- Guns - Out -of- Home- 184196671.html WKBW) Howard Slaughter owns a home on the corner of Adams and Sycamore Streets in the city's Ellicott District. Slaughter teaches a pistol permit class and now wants the opportunity to sell guns to his clients -- out of his home. Slaughter made a request to city officials for permission to sell firearms out of his Adams Street home that request was denied Wednesday afternoon. His house is too close to the main street and school buses pick up children and drop children off and there is a city bus stop there. It wouldn't be feasible, "stated Norma Robinson, who has lived on Adams Street for 57 years. "The neighbors were concerned about delivery methods, they were concerned about people breaking into his home, to look for weapons on the premises," said Councilmember Darius Pridgen. Meanwhile, there have been more than two dozen violent 911 calls, including one gun call and robbery over the past year at various locations on Adams Street. None of those calls involved Slaughter's home. Slaughter could not be reached for comment for this story I wish we were in Buffalo. It seems a lot easier to have this stopped than here in Dubuque. These people didn't even have to fight that hard. http: / /www.mlive.com /news /grand - rapids /index.ssf /2013 /04 /post_372.html PORT SHELDON TOWNSHIP, MI -- Neighbors came armed with data ready to shoot down a special use request to operate a gun shop in a residential neighborhood. But the issue ended on Wednesday, April 24, without a bang when applicants Roger and Jill Miller asked by letter to withdraw their request from consideration by the township Planning Commission. "It has come to our attention that we might have some neighbors who have serious concerns about our request," wrote the Millers in a letter to planners read at the start of Wednesday's meeting. "Being a good neighbor is more important to us; it is our hope that this retraction might help alleviate those concerns." Neighbors along Lakeshore Drive began to organize against the special use permit after it was requested in March. One of the things that concerns us is the increase in home invasions and robberies that occur when people know there are guns," said neighbor Mary Nienhuis, who was one of about 30 homeowners to attend the meeting. "There are appropriate places to sell guns and residential neighborhoods is not one of them," she said. Other residents questioned whether gunpowder, ammunition and guns were being kept on the property. They also complained of gunshots being fired on the property in a residential area where children played outside. Building Official Wayne Oosterink said he visited the Miller property and found equipment and components for reloading bullets in an accessory building on the property. "There were no guns or powder on site but township requirements are that a home occupation has to be done in the home," said Oosterink, noting that the Millers had been sent a "cease and desist order" because of the accessory building violation. Commission Chairman Ken Souter said homeowners in the township by right" are allowed to run home occupations. Horne occupations involving guns though require approval of a special use permit from the Planning Commission. Souter said Port Sheldon is a rural township and individuals have the right to safely fire guns on their property. The only restriction is that if a gun is being used during hunting, it cannot be fired within 400 feet of a residents. Resident Jack Petroelje said he was pleased that the request for a gun business permit was withdrawn without a fight. "It was the right thing to do. We have lived in this area for 27 years and my wife and I decided that if the permit was approved we would have to move," he said. These people are lucky. Their gun business requesters cared enough about the neighborhood to do the right thing. 1 think our neighborhood will never be the same because of what this request has done to us. Sandy Hook Promise (SHP) is a non - profit corporation* created by members of the community of Newtown, Connecticut in response to the shooting on December 14, 2012, at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, which killed 20 children, four teachers and two administrators. A PROMISE IS BORN There was a gathering of people in Newton. It was in someone's kitchen, and it was filled with friends and neighbors who knew they needed to be together. Gradually, as they spoke, they also realized something else. They understood that they had a responsibility. To honor the kids and teachers they'd lost, as well as the survivors. They promised to do whatever they could to not let this tragedy stand as just another in our country's history. WITH EVERY HUG, A PROMISE The first mission of SHP is to support the families of the victims, the survivors, first responders and teachers and staff of the school as well as the community of Newtown, ( "our community ") by providing financial and service support and assistance whenever possible and for as long as it takes for each individual to heal. OikiiMd Asti Moving forward, the SHP mission is to work to identify and implement holistic, common sense solutions that will make our community and our country safer from similar acts of violence through education, outreach and grass -roots discussion. SHP believes the time has come to enter into these discussions with equal parts of Love, Compassion, and Common Sense. OUR APPROACH — Listen, Learn, Act Listen and Learn: SHP will promote open dialogue around the areas of gun responsibility, mental health and school safety. We will have ongoing discussions with experts, groups, communities and elected officials across the United States to better understand the nature of the challenges we confront and the most promising solutions — legislative and non - legislative. Sandy Hook families, survivors, parents of child survivors, first responders, teachers, staff, as they choose, will be part of our discussion and undertaking. Act: We will speak with one voice in support of those actions that will make our communities and country safer from similar acts of violence. We do not have an `all or nothing' approach and will focus our energy on those areas that we believe have the greatest impact. We do not believe that every solution requires a law. We are committed to local and national legislative and non - legislative change. THE PROMISE, THIS TIME, OF REAL CHANGE This is the time. The time to stand up and say that our society should not live under the threat of this kind of violence. Sandy Hook Promise is committed to making Newtown be remembered as the place where we came together both as a community...and as a nation, and decided that we must do everything we can to prevent tragedies like this from happening again. Let Newtown go down in history as the place where real change began. change.org Recipient: City Zoning Boards Letter: Greetings, Prohibit firearm sales in residential neighborhoods Signatures - i;ti Name Beverly Knockel Knockel Denice Bergfeld Diane Knockel Sue Dodd KATHY NOEL Alicia Batt Concerned Citizen Laura Saxon shedy berrios Edward Laurson Peggy Howard Katie Husband Julie Keck Amy Spiegelhalter Dave Keck Jennifer Lewis Karen Noel Anne Heinz Bill Stevens Dana Friedel Jeffrey Dodd Charles David Lora David David Spiegelhalter Jeff Dodd Location Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States DUBUQUE, IA, United States Minneapolis, MN, United States New City, NY, United States morriston, FL, United States jacksonvilie nc, NC, United States Denver, CO, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Fareham, DC, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States New York, NY, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States New York, NY, United States Date 2013 -06 -02 2013 -06 -02 2013 -06 -02 2013 -06 -03 2013 -06 -03 2013 -06 -03 2013 -06 -04 2013 -06 -04 2013 -06 -04 2013 -06 -05 2013 -06 -06 2013 -06 -11 2013 -06 -13 2013 -06 -14 2013 -06 -16 2013 -06 -16 2013 -06 -16 2013 -06 -16 2013 -06 -17 2013 -06 -17 2013 -06 -17 2013 -06 -20 2013 -06 -20 2013 -06 -22 2013 -06 -24 Name Martha Fuerste Pam Meehan Evelyn Nadeau daniel jaeger Barb Dieck Ruth Scharnau Sharon Thies Jo Grabow Debra Stephenson Richard Fischer Sue Wilson Mary Sawyer Dianne Koch Larry Miller Pam Sejkora Mona Sorenson John Sorenson Donna Miller Todd Lange Joy Peterson Dorothy Schwendinger Carolyn Pettit -Lange Mary Loney Bichell Paula Roling Marilyn Dansart Luke Lammer Diane Brotherton Location Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Bernard, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque , IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Date 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -25 2013 -06 -25 2013 -06 -25 2013 -06 -25 2013 -06 -25 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -27 2013 -06 -27 2013 -06 -27 2013 -06 -27 Name Sara McAlpin Pat Farrell, OSF Ron Coates David Becker Judy Nauman Gwen Hennessey Mike McFarland Thomas Johnson james snyde Lou Ann Kilburg Bertha Fox Davida Loosbrock,OSF Kevin Koch Marge Staudt Margreet Ryan Elvira Kelley Patricia Anderson Jane Wild Gary Knockel Joan Knockel Amy Knockel Kris Gallagher gina richman -

There are enough people in the world with guns; some in the wrong hands. 20 2013 -06- 24 no reason to have firearm sales or other businesses in neighborhoods. 2013 -06- Although the freedom to conceal and carry is a personal choice, there is no feasible reason to allow the business of sale of firearms in residential neighborhoods, how can we expect private citizens to have the ability to scrutinize whom should purchase? 24 2013 -06- 25 A Gun is not the Answer just as War is not the Answer. 2013 -06- Gun control works in Europe and Australia quite well. It deserves a chance here. 25 2013 -06- The purchase and resale of guns is very easy. I do not believe there should be more venues available for the purchase and resale of guns. 26 2013 -06- With guns available in so many locations, why would think a neighborhood business ought to be selling more guns! 26 2013 -06- The ready availablity of guns increases the chances of violence. Home based business are less apt to be monitored. 26 2013 -06- It does seem ridiculous that one cannot style hair or fix a car on their property...but they CAN sell guns? This business should absolutely be in a business rather than a residential district. 26 2013 -06- 27 Not Acceptable! 2013 -06- If a beautician cannot work from the home why on earth should a gun salesman? 27 2013 -06- Even after the seriousness of the Newtown tragedy and the national outcry in support of tighter gun control, there seems to be something of a stalemate in legislation to further protect life by restrictions on the purchase and use of firearms. That has been alarming and disappointing to me. However, we can do something more locally in our community and I think that prohibiting firearm business in residential neighborhoods would be an excellent place to start.

Ms. Knockel is asking that firearm sales be added to the list of prohibited home -based businesses. DISCUSSION Section 7 -1 of the City of Dubuque's Unified Development Code (UDC) regulates home - based businesses that are by definition located in residentially zoned districts. This section outlines the general provisions regulating home -based businesses and also lists those home -based businesses that are permitted and those that are prohibited. Section 7 -1.4 of the UDC states that any proposed home -based business not specifically prohibited, or that employs up to two people who do not reside within the home herein, shall be considered a conditional use and can be granted or denied by the Zoning Board of Adjustment upon finding that the proposed home -based business can meet the provisions of this section. The general provisions in Section 7 -1.1 state that the home -based businesses may not: 1) Change the outside appearance of the dwelling or be visible from the street. 2) Generate traffic, parking, sewerage or water use in excess of what is normal in a residential neighborhood. 3) Create a hazard to person or property, result in electrical interference or become a nuisance. Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission Page 2 4) Result in outside storage or display of any kind. 5) Employ other than self or family members residing on the premise. 6) Occupy more than 50% of the total floor area of the dwelling unit. 7) Require deliveries of materials to and from the premises involving the use of vehicles over 2 ton capacity, except parcel post or similar parcel service vehicles. 8) Produce noise, vibration or smoke, odors, heat or glare as a result of the home - based business which would exceed that normally produced by a single residence as determined by the City Planner. 9) Advertise with a sign on -site or off - premise. The general provisions further note that customer or client contact shall be primarily by telephone, mail, fax, email or website and not on the premises of the home -based business, except those home -based businesses such as tutoring, teaching, child care or personal services which cannot be conducted without personal contact and that are listed as permitted. General provisions also note that service or sales conducted on the premises shall be by appointment only and shall not be oriented toward or attract off - street customer or client traffic. Section 7 -1.2 lists the following as permitted home -based business: 1) Adult day -care services 2) Art studio 3) Cake decorating 4) Ceramics 5) Computer programming 6) Consultant services 7) Child care (not included licensed child care center) 8) Dress making, sewing and tailoring 9) Film processing 10) Home cooking and preserving 11) Home crafts 12) Home office 13) Home products distributors 14) Income tax preparation 15) Insurance sales persons 16) Mailing services 17) On -line businesses 18) Painting, sculpting and writing 19) Teaching or tutoring limited to 4 persons at one time 20) Telephone answering 21) Typist or stenographer Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission Page 3 Section 7 -1.3 lists the following as prohibited home -based businesses: 1) Antique furniture refinishing for resale on the premise or as a service for the general public 2) Automotive repair, except that an individual residing on the premises may service such individual's own vehicle providing that the provisions of Section 7 -1.1 are met and that no repair shall take place between the hours of 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. 3) Barber and beauty shops 4) Contractor shop 5) Recycling or salvage operation 6) Small engine repair 7) Welding services All home -based businesses, whether specifically permitted or permitted as an approved conditional use, have to follow all of the general provisions as outlined in Section 7 -1.1 above. As an approved conditional use, the Zoning Board of Adjustment can stipulate any additional conditions they feel necessary to mitigate any perceived negative impacts that may be caused by the proposed home -based business. The Zoning Board of Adjustment has approved three home -based firearm sales businesses within the City since 2005. These were located on Windsor Avenue, Phyllrich Drive and Kane Street. The Zoning Board of Adjustment placed conditions on two of the three permits. One approval limited the business to one customer on the premises at a time and limited the hours of operation to between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The second approval limited the hours of operation for delivery and pick -up to between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. The third approval had no conditions. Since the first firearm sales home -based business was approved in 2005, the City of Dubuque's Planning Services Department has received no complaints from the neighbors. The City of Dubuque Police Department has also listed no calls for service at these addresses specific to the firearms business. Over this time there have been numerous calls for service at these locations. However, once the general calls such as fire alarms, ambulance calls and child welfare calls are eliminated, there were five calls regarding illegal parking that may or may not be attributed to the home -based businesses. In general, it has been Planning Services staffs experience that a business of this nature tends to generate little traffic, demand on parking, noise or activity over and above that normally found in a residential neighborhood. There are a number of other permitted home -based businesses that may generate more traffic, such as home day Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission Page 4 care, income tax preparation, insurance sales and teaching or tutoring. Home based firearms sales are generally web based and customer contact is required to be by appointment only. The contact would generally consist of customer pick -up of a firearm that had been ordered over the Internet. The applicant states that the home -based firearms business would have a negative impact on the value of adjacent properties. Planning Services staff has no evidence either supporting or dismissing this claim. The applicant also states that based on the nature of the firearms business, there is the possibility there could be security issues and the potential for criminal element to be tempted to rob the home. This potential certainly exists; however, to what degree and how it is different from any other home burglary is not clear. Again, staff can only base their assessment on experience with existing firearm sales and from Police reports. It is also important to note that a resident seeking a Federal Firearms License (FFL) undergoes an extensive background check and must meet all of the rules and regulations set forth by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission review the applicant's request in light of all the information provided, be prepared to discuss the information at the upcoming Zoning Advisory Commission meeting and to provide a recommendation to the City Council.

Each time we had met for the meeting there were never enough council there for us to receive a fair vote, we did table a few times, which allowed the neighborhood to gather more on their side. We had letters from FFL dealers , deputy Tom R. who just lives a few blocks away from Hawkeye, he has not had any issues, he also checked with police department and had no issues with the other approved FFL dealers home based. We had letter and proof that the property value around those that had the FFL had not gone down, in fact they had increased. I was told by Guy H. that the realtor letters would cancel each side out, that no matter how many signatures that were on the partition, the council board looks only at if we met the guidelines for CUP. We met all of the criteria of the home based and CUP guidelines, but still because there were more who feared and did not understand the nature of what a FFL really was and what we were going to be doing with our FFL. Our goal to having an FFL was to help insure that all firearms are legally registered to people. Not to open a store front to sell firearms in a residential or commercial area. We wanted to go to auctioneer companies and offer to call in and do the gun transfers for the sale of the guns that they auction off at the sales they conduct. There are many auctions where a person can purchase a long gun and have no background check or NICCS check done. Having an FFL is not just for the sale of firearms, you need one to do any type of gun smiting. That was to be part of our future plan. A person has to go to extensive train for fire arm repair and to be certified for companies like Remington and others. Opening a store front to sell firearms was not what we want to do, that is why the home based business was a great way for us to get started with a FFL. The cost of the FFL and repair training is a costly investment in our future, something that was manageable at this time and could have been done right from our home. It was taken away from us because of a small hand full of people who were uniformed and fearful. As well as people were paid to sign the petion. Our business plan never included an option to open a store front, not now, not in five years, not in ten years. We would have never had large amounts of inventory in our home like the neighbors lead the council to believe, firearm manufactures don't make a practice of letting the home based FFL dealers order more than one or two firearms at a time. That was told to me from several FFL dealers that have had home based FFL for over 30 years. It is a shame that we were denied, we would have been paying sales taxes, permits, and helping with the goal of registering sales of fire arms. Please don't take that right from others who want to have a home based business regardless if it is an FFL, Avon, Candles, Clothing, Craft shows, a quitter, dress maker, flea market seller, on line auction seller, purse seller or any other home based business. AFFIDAVIT STATE OF IOWA COUNTY OF DUBUQUE TAIT LUNCEFORD being duly sworn according to Iaw, deposes and attests under penalty of perjury to the following: 1, TAIT LUNCEFORD, of the City of Dubuque, State of lowa, being first duly sworn on oath, state that: 1. |am over 18 years of age and competent enough to testify of my own knowledge of the facts stated herein. 2. All the facts stated by me herein are true, correct and complete to the best of my knowledge and understanding. 3. The attached letter is a correct, true, and accurate description of the facts. TAIT LUNCEFO D "rad 910 Hawkeye Dr. Dubuque Iowa 52001 NOTARY CERTIFICATION - ~�. Sworn to me and subscribed before me, this the day of Notary Public My Commission Expires: KATHY J. KLOSTERMANN - Commission y Comm, Exp. 6~/�—/4-/ ,2013 CD > 0 My name is Tait Lunceford; I live at 910 Hawkeye Drive Dubuque Iowa. My wife and I were denied the CUP for a home based business. My neighbors did not want a store front in the neighborhood that sells guns. We met all of the guide lines for the condional use permit. But still was denied because of the neighborhood harmony would be upset. We were told by Guy H. that the council looks at the guide lines to determine the approval. All guide lines were met, and still denied because a hand full showed up at the many meetings to say they did not want guns and gun sales in the neighborhood. I say many meeting because there never was enough council on the board to give us a fair vote. The neighbors said it would cause traffic problems, more unlike types in the neighborhood. I feel that the council only looked at the fact that "sales" of firearms was the only thing that we would be doing. My wife tried to explain the other things OUR business plan was for, including transfers at auction and gun smiting. The council was more focused on pin pointing us down to how many gun sales we would have in a year. How many pickups we would have, what times people would be at our home. I feel that we were bullied and a denial was given to us because there were more people on their side then showed up for us. We were denied because of popularity not because we did not meet the CUP guide lines. Having people get paid for signing that petition against us was and is wrong.

Thank you, Bev file :///C :/lJsers/kfimsta!AppData/Local/Temp!XPgrpwise/5 213821 ADB Q... 8/20/2013 August 20, 2013 Esteemed Members of the City of Dubuque City Council Dear Sirs and Madams; After last night's Council Meeting I felt that I wanted you to know where I was coming from with this request to make Commercial Fire Arm Sales a prohibited business in the Unified Code. When my neighbor wanted to open a fire arm business in my neighborhood I went to the City Planning Office to find out how to stop this. 1 proceeded through the process of proving that my neighborhood did not want a Commercial Business to be located in it. I was told that we had to prove we did not want a commercial business not just a gun business. I went through the process by picking out the sections of the Unified Code that supported out stance that a commercial business was not a fit for our neighborhood. In reading the code I discovered that there were 7 "prohibited businesses" and I couldn't understand why a beauty or barber shop were prohibited and a gun business wasn't. I convinced the Zoning Board of Adjustment that yes, our neighborhood was not conducive to a commercial business and they turned down the request for a Conditional Use Permit by a 4 -1 vote. I then decided that if a beauty or barber shop was prohibited it seemed logical that a gun business should be too. I went through the process of the Zoning Advisory Commission and used the same arguments but also used the type of business and explained why gun business and residential neighborhoods did not go together. The Advisory board voted 5 -0 to recommend this amendment for approval to you as a council. Now the gun people come in and complain that this is Constitutional issue with their rights. This has nothing to do with their right to bear arms it has everything to do with my right to live in a residential neighborhood and someone trying to open a business in that neighborhood. Ms. Connors talked about how the council relies on their boards and commissions to feed the proper information onto them. Well I think the Board and Commission did just that because they realized this was not a Constitutional issue but a Zoning issue. Mr. Lynch, I understand your concern but this would not be a big issue if the word guns was not involved and I feel the people against this preached that this was all based on fear and that is not the point. First of all it is based on a commercial business in a residential neighborhood and the changes that are happening in this city and country concerning guns. Please read the Internet articles I provided in my packet as to how other cities have handled this issue if you have not already. This is not a fear issue it is safety, security, property values, and the nature of fire arm sales that have initiated this request. Do not let them stand behind the 2nd Amendment or intimidate you by stating this is trying to solve an issue where there is no problem. I am trying to be proactive and keep a problem from arising. Again all of these gun businesses were prior to 2009. Columbine was the only incident that happened and Internet sales were just beginning. Both Aurora and Newton were internet purchased sales. As these businesses increase I do believe we will have more problems and neighborhoods will not be as safe because these businesses give their addresses over the Internet and we all know that once an address is on the internet it is out there for the whole world to see, forever. I think I would rather see a billboard than know my neighborhood had an address out there on the internet for selling guns. That is where the changes have to be dealt with. The Unified Code states no billboards or traditional advertising, well Internet advertising of an address is more harmful to me than a billboard located in Dubuque. Thank you for your consideration and time you serve on the Council. Sincerely, Beverly Knockel 900 Hawkeye Dr. Page 1 of 1 Kevin Firnstahl - "Contact Us" inquiry from City of Dubuque website From: "Citizen Support Center" <dubuqueia @mycusthelp.com> To: <kfirnsta @cityofdubuque.org> Date: 8/21/2013 9:27 PM Subject: "Contact Us" inquiry from City of Dubuque website Contact Us Name: Kevin Koch Phone: 563 -556 -0850 Email: kevin.koch @loras.edu City Department: City Council Message: Dear City Council members: At the conclusion of the Monday, August 19, 2013, City Council's discussion of the proposal to add home -based firearms to the list of prohibited businesses, you invited attendees to submit further discussions, but requested that they be restricted to new information or topics. I would like to take this opportunity to respond to some of the objections and concerns raised by council members against the proposal. Council members Sutton and Lynch couched their concerns in terms of protecting the rights of gun owners. But there is nothing in the proposal that infringes on gun owners' rights. No one's guns will be taken away from them, no one's right to purchase a gun will be affected, and no one's right to sell a gun in a properly zoned commercial area will be infringed upon. The issue is about home firearms sale in a residential area, pure and simple. Council member Resnick argued that under current zoning law, persons seeking a variance to for home -based firearms sales must plead their case, meet certain requirements, etc., and that approval is not automatic. Thus Mr. Resnick argued that the current zoning law ought to remain in place. But citizens have a right to expect that exceptions to residential zoning laws ought to be rare. I don't know what the approval rate is for requests for home -based businesses of other types, but to my knowledge there have been four such requests for home -based firearms sales, and three of the four have been approved, a 75% approval rate. That the number is small and the approved businesses have been incident -free is largely irrelevant. Home owners should be reasonably assured when they purchase a home in a residentially - zoned area that that area will remain residential without home -based businesses other than those on the approved list. When variance - approval rates exceed denials, then the zoning means nothing at all. In such cases, the only way to insure that the zoning board will not approve a type of home -based business is to put that type of business on the prohibited list. If we have zoning laws, we ought to live up to them. I urge you to put firearms sales on the list of prohibited home -based businesses in residentially -zoned areas.

It is ridiculous to propose such an idea. What is this going to prevent? What is the goal here? To further alienate law abiding gun owners? It's sad and pathetic that you think you can infringe on the rights of others just because you don't like firearms. The rest of society doesn't have the luxury of 24 hour security, therefor we need to protect ourselves with firearms. You "progressives" like to preach "tolerance ", and "equality ", yet you try to restrict the rights of law abiding gun owners. I am absolutely positive that this e -mail won't even make it to the council members because it doesn't fit your agenda. That's fine. This anti -2nd amendment proposal will fail, and we will remember who voted for it at the next election.

Please see attachment. Thank you. file : / //C :/ Users /kfirnsta/AppData/ Local / Temp/XPgrpwise /5223125DDBQ_D... 9/3/2013 Dubuque City Council Members, Thank you for letting me address you at last Monday evening's meeting concerning Bev Knockel's request to add home -based gun dealerships to the zoning prohibitions for the city of Dubuque. I would like to add two additional points that, I believe, have not been discussed as of yet. First, in listening to the opposition at the August 19th hearing, they insist that we are coming from a position of "fear. " We view it as "concern." This goes beyond a semantics debate. This involves a mental health status of potential gun buyers. Several speakers noted that gun dealers who have federal licensure are very well trained in gun safety; no one denies that. However, federal licensure is not currently a requirement for home -based or internet -based sales. Therefore, no background checks are required for non - federal licensees. As a result, gun dealers without federal licenses can sell to anyone without a background check. While the gun dealer with or without a federal license may be trained and practice safe procedures, there is no guarantee that the clientele visiting the neighborhood would be as versed in the safety aspects of gun handling. The neighbors are concerned more about gun safety procedures and the mental health records of the clientele than that of the gun dealers, especially as mental health services funding is continually decreasing. Clientele who have not undergone background checks, driving into neighborhoods looking for dealers, to purchase a weapon does raise a legitimate concern for residents. Once again, this all boils down to a commercially -zoned issue to ensure safety for residents. Second, Zoning Commissioner Stephen Hardie voiced in his comments before the August 6th vote that Bev Knockel's request is "reasoned" and "prudent." He stated that no one, as some City Council members also observed, is being denied the chance to operate a business. Rather, he implied that the nature and potential of this particular type of business infringes on common sense and a greater good of a neighborhood's right to a safe residential area. Thank you for your time and thought towards this matter. Sincerely, Dianne Koch 285 S.

Thank you, Bev file : / / /C:/Users/kfirnsta/AppData /Local /Temp/XPgrpwise /5221 D2F6DBQD... 9/3/2013 10 Reasons to Ban Home Gun Dealers Posted on November 8, 2012 at 2:23 pm You don't have to live in Pleasant Hill to be concerned about the ramifications of allowing Home Gun Dealers to operate in residential neighborhoods. Guns don't stay where they are sold. And illegal guns all start out as legal guns. Sales of firearms and ammunition, two dangerous products, belong in a commercial business zone with proper security and oversight, not in a residential neighborhood. The Contra Costa Brady Campaign urges you to attend the following meeting and SUPPORT A BAN on home or kitchen table gun dealers. SPECIAL MEETING: CITY OF PLEASANT HILL CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP ON FIREARMS & AMMUNITION SALES IN RESIDENTIAL -ZONED AREAS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2012, 6:00 P.M. Pleasant Hill City Hall Community Rooms, 100 Gregory Lane Here are 10 good reasons why you should be concerned about having your next door neighbor (Federal Firearms License or FFL dealer) selling guns and ammunition out of his home: 1. The safety of residents in close proximity to home -based firearm and ammunition sales poses concerns about its negative influence on children, the possible increase in violence and /or criminals in city residential neighborhoods, trafficked firearms, and the infrequency of federal and state inspections to adequately regulate these business operations once established; 2. Fire and /or explosive hazard caused by potentially large quantities of stored firearms and ammunition in close proximity to the homes of neighboring residents; 3. Potential theft of firearms and ammunition through burglary or robbery; 4. Inability to safely and securely store such firearms and ammunition in a home -based business where children are commonly present; 5. No assurance that appropriate measures are being taken to prevent the accessibility of firearms /ammunition by individuals prevented by law from possessing them 6. Increased vehicular and foot traffic in residential areas caused by a firearms and ammunition sales business that could change the neighborhood's character and harm the quality of life; 7. Probable negative impact on neighboring property values and requirement to "disclose" presence of home gun dealer upon sale of neighbors' homes; 8. Increased demands on local law enforcement resources to monitor numerous home gun dealers, or lack of any oversight by local police department; 9. Lack of sufficient federal or state inspections due to limited resources. (ATF reported in 2007 that it inspects each FFL, on average, only once every 17years);Home gun dealers selling over the Internet are difficult to monitor. 10. According to ATF, home -based Internet FFL gun dealers typically operate by setting up a website offering a variety of firearms and ammunition. The dealer responds to requests by placing orders to the manufacturer, and the firearms are sent to the dealer's home. He then sells them out of his house or redistributes them through the mail to another FFL dealer out of the area Page 1 of 1 Kevin Firnstahl - "Contact Us" inquiry from City of Dubuque website From: "Citizen Support Center" <dubuqueia @mycusthelp.com> To: <kfirnsta @cityofdubuque.org> Date: 8/31/2013 10:19 AM Subject: "Contact Us" inquiry from City of Dubuque website Contact Us Name: Lynn Beauchamp Phone: 563 -583 -4527 Email: jodlyn41 @aol.com City Department: City Council Message: Dear Mayor & Council Members I'm very concerned about your majority stand against allowing licensed "in home" firearm sales.

Thank you. file: / / /C:/Userslkrnsta/AppData /Local /Temp/XPgrpwise /5221 A05 5DBQ_D... 9/3/2013 http: / /fflgundealers.net /search results.php ?keyword= &location =52004 &zip miles =10 &submit = Search &shortcut =1 &pa ge =2 Dear Council Members, Here I am back again. The article in the paper got me thinking about the arguments they were using regarding no problems with gun businesses in over 30 years. I have known John Kemp for over thirty years and I know he is a reputable and safety minded person. Here is the problem we have with what people are saying about home based businesses. Most of these long running businesses have been operating by word of mouth in Dubuque. I do remember somewhere in the Unified Code that it mentioned that Home Based Business would not be allowed to use billboards and any outdoor signage they would want to use on their home would have to be minimal. Well guess what I found just by sitting at my keyboard on Google and typing in Internet Gun Dealers Dubuque, la. The above Zink. There are several businesses located in residential neighborhoods, Mr. Kemps included. Please cut and paste this link and open it I think it will surprise you it did me months ago when I started this fight. I do understand that they may feel safe and secure because they have guns in their homes, but this doesn't make their neighbors feel that way. I would rather have a billboard on Kennedy and Hwy. 20 stating that there is an Internet Gun Business at 910 Hawkeye Dr. By having these addresses given on the Internet the whole world has access to them and it is not just for a limited time but forever. The Internet has done a lot of good but it has been proven that it can do a lot of harm also. Internet gun business is in its early development and we are already seeing problems arising. My beliefs that these restrictions for advertising were put in the Unified code to keep traffic down but how do you do this when the whole world has access to your neighbor's address and they know he is selling guns there. I mentioned looky loos in my arguments before the Board of Adjustment but what is even worse is the people from outside the area that could come to Dubuque thinking they have an easy target. Please do not be swayed by their arguments, always the same ones. Think how safe you would feel in this world today, not thirty years ago, even ten years ago, knowing there was an Internet gun business in your neighborhood and even more so how would your children feel about walking past that house to catch the school bus. Sincerely, Beverly Knockel 910 Hawkeye.

These transactions are already regulated with the business owner having to have a Federal Firearm License (FFL). The justification that operating a home based FFL has "concerns for neighborhood safety ", and "potential for increased chance of burglaries" can be vaguely applied to most any home business. I do not see any reason gun sales are being singled out in this amendment other than someones dislike of these businesses. Please do not support this amendment, it will have little impact on the community other than restricting any new business to be started in a home. I myself do not operate a home business, and would likely not even be impacted by this change, other than lost respect for a community that shouldn't be limiting entrepreneurs in this economic environment.

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 Beverly Knockel, spoke in favor of the request, reviewing how firearm sales are not an appropriate home -based business, citing concerns for neighborhood safety, potential for increased chance of burglaries, and negative impact on property values. The applicant reviewed a petition submitted in support of the proposed text amendment and email letters from realtors speaking to the impact on property value in relation to the presence of a firearm sales business in a neighborhood. The applicant indicated she supported that people have the right to bear arms but not the right to sell them commercially in a residential neighborhood. Staff reviewed the staff report, reviewing the current list of allowed and prohibited home occupations, and that home -based businesses not listed are reviewed by the Zoning Board of Adjustment as a conditional use. Staff reported that the Zoning Board of Adjustment has previously approved three existing home -based firearm sales business. Staff noted that the Police Department reports no calls for service to any of the three home -based firearm businesses addresses related to the firearm sales. There were several public comments in favor of the text amendment to prohibit home - based firearm sales as it is inappropriate in a residential neighborhood from a safety and property value perspective, and that there is sufficient space available in commercially -zoned areas of the community. Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request. Commissioner Smith asked if the proposed text amendment would impact existing home -based firearm sales businesses. Staff replied they would be grandfathered. Commissioner Hardie felt the applicant has made a measured request to only list firearm sales as a prohibited home - based business as there are opportunities for firearm sales to take place in commercial areas of the community. Recommendation By a vote of 5 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve the request. A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.

The packet contained the materials my neighborhood used to convince the Zoning Board of Adjustment to turn down the request for a Conditional Use Permit to be granted in my neighborhood. Plus three additional items, the Sandy Hook Promise and an On -line and paper petition containing 370 signatures supporting the prohibition of fire arm businesses in residential neighborhoods. I would like to ask at this time for anyone here who signed one of these petitions or just supports prohibiting fire arm businesses in residential neighborhoods to raise their hand. In the neighborhood packet is the petition circulated through our neighborhood only. The results, 44 against and 1 in favor, more than show how much our neighborhood did not want this type of business, yes we proved that we did not want any business in our neighborhood but we also proved our point that this "type" of business should not be allowed. I felt that you needed to see how we argued the Sections of the Unified Development Code for business reasons and type of business reasons. The four letters from the realtors are self - explanatory and the web articles and the Sandy Hook Promise relate to the reasons why the nature of a fire arm business and residential neighborhoods do not go together. My neighborhood feels so strongly about this that they have taken up a collection to pay the Application Fee for this process. We do not want any neighborhood in Dubuque to have to fight this as we did, and strongly feel that preventing this type of business in a residential district is the way to protect ourselves and our community. I have talked to several Neighborhood Assdociation Presidents and several have gotten back to me to tell me their association wholeheartedly support this request. Dubuque has received many prestigious designations and awards throughout the years. • 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 100 Best Communities for Young People by America's Promise Alliance • 2010 LIVCOM BY LivCom Management a UK registered charity • 2010 Nation's Best Small Cities to Raise a Family by Forbes Magazine • 2007, 2012, 2013 All- America City by the National Civic League One of the five promises of the American Promise Alliance is "Safe Places." How can we, as a community make our children feel they live in a safe neighborhood when they may have to walk past a home that could be a Fire Arm Sales Business or even the adults who fear the type of people coming into their neighborhood. Two of the criteria for LivCom are "Best Practices and Improve our Quality of Life." I do understand that LivCom awards are more environmentally oriented BUT living in a residential neighborhood is the environment of those neighbors and I guarantee you that a gun business is neither a Best Practice or improves the quality of life for the people in that neighborhood. As far as the Forbes designation goes one of their criteria was "the rate of home ownership and housing affordability." I think the four letters from realtors more than adequately address all of the differences that could or would happen with these types of business in residential neighborhoods. Last but not least the National Civic League looks for cities with successful efforts to address pressing local challenges. The gun issue is rearing it's ugly head in Dubuque with what just happened last month with the shootings in the Jackson Park area. I think that the climate of this country toward firearms proves that this may not be resolved on the national level, yet, but we here in Dubuque know that we can resolve one area of it that will make our residential neighborhoods a safer and happier place to live. Without the fear of someone opening a firearm business next door. To quote Bob Dylan, "The Times They Are a Changing." I realize that there have been 3 Conditional Use Permits granted since 2005 in Dubuque for Internet Fire Arm Businesses. Since that time we have had Aurora, Colorado and Newtown. Both of these shooters used the Internet to secure guns or ammunition. I am here tonight because when I mention that commercial fire arm businesses can open in residential neighborhoods, everyone I have talked to is shocked, that can't be they say to me. I say to them yes it can and someone tried to do it in my neighborhood. Please to keep the rest of Dubuque's neighborhoods safe and help curb the violence that is erupting in our city and country, make Fire Arm Businesses a prohibited business so it can't even be tried again. I want Dubuque to live up to the Sandy Hook Promise and we, be a community of change that does not allow the commercial sale of fire arms in residential neighborhoods. I realize that everyone has the right to bear arms in this country but not everyone has the right to commercially sell them in a residential neighborhood. Fire arm sales belong in a commercially zoned area. Because of traffic, safety and security, property values and the nature of firearm sales 1 am asking that you prohibit fire arm businesses in residential neighborhoods per Section 7.1.3 of the City of Dubuque's Unified Development Code. Do you have any questions regarding the packet or anything I have said. Thank you.

Thank you. Petition Material The following petition was signed exclusively by residents of Hawkeye Dr., Inwood Ave. and Buckeye Ct. It was solicited by people expressing their concerns over allowing an Internet gun business to open at 910 Hawkeye Dr. The following concerns were discussed with the people who signed the petition: • Property Values • Increased Traffic • Safety and Security • Problems caused by the type of business Bev Knockel will be presenting the view of all people who signed the petition. As you will see, there was one person in favor of the business and everyone else who signed (44) against the business. The only reason that one person said he was in favor of the business is he thought it would make it easy for him to buy his guns next door. Now will this person use the internet or just go next door to purchase his guns. To me that is off the street traffic not internet. Is it really fair to go against all the neighbors' feelings over the convenience and ease of one?

My reasoning used follows each section in bold and italic. Article 5: Zoning Districts Section 5 -2 R1 Single Family Residential The definition of a R -1 district: The R -1 District is the most restrictive residential district and is intended to protect low density residential areas from the encroachment of incompatible uses. The principal use of land in this district is for low density single - family dwellings and related recreational, religious and educational facilities Section 5 -2.2 Conditional Uses The following conditional uses may be permitted in the R -1 District, subject to the provisions of Section 8 -5: 1. Accessory dwelling unit 2. Bed and breakfast home 3. Keeping of horses or ponies 4. Keeping of hens 5. Licensed adult day services 6. Licensed child care center 7. Mortuary, funeral home, or crematorium 8. Off - street parking 9. Tour home 10. Tourist home 11. Wind energy conversion system This particular business is in no way similar to the above Permitted Conditional Uses. Article 8: Zoning Board of Adjustment Applications and Procedures Section 8 -5.4 Standards for Granting a Conditional Use Permit sub - sections F and H. F. The location and size of the conditional use, the nature and intensity of the activities to be involved or conducted in connection with it, the size of the site in relation thereto, and the location of the site with respect to streets giving access to the conditional use, shall be such that it will be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the district and neighborhood in which it is located. The nature and intensity of a gun business definitely is not in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the district and neighborhood in which it is located. As stated earlier our (access is one way in and one way out. The code even uses the plural streets meaning more than one access point as I have stated we are only accessible by Peru Road and this is a major issue discussed (amongst us. The business of selling guns does not belong in residential neighborhoods, it belongs in a neighborhood zoned for business not children walking to catch a school bus. H. The proposed conditional use will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located and will contribute to and promote the convenience and welfare of the public. I have presented documentation from realtors regarding property values and I really cannot see how it will contribute to and promote the convenience and welfare of the public, if anything I see a danger to the public because internet guns sales is a major access point for a lot of the guns that have been used by sick people to kill a lot of innocent people. I also fear or the probability of break -ins both at their house and anyone else's in the neighborhood. ! think that public interest should also be considered when you have a petition taken only in the affected area with only 1 in favor and all other residents against that type of business. This does not promote convenience with the way the residents want their neighborhood to be. If anything it promotes discord. Article 7: Supplemental Use Regulations Section 7 -1 Home Base Businesses 7 -1.1 General Provisions Sub - section C C. Services or sales conducted on the premises shall be by appointment only and shall not be oriented toward, or attract, off-the-street customer or client traffic. Just by the nature of this business I fear that people would be coming into our neighborhood to see where the business is located or if they can just buy a gun there. This is Dubuque and when word gets out on the internet that someone on Hawkeye Dr. is selling guns out of their house we will have all kinds of looky loos besides the increased traffic created by the business. Also the people who like my one neighbor thinking it is a convenience to just go next door but why not drive up and see what he has! Because of the above mentioned Articles to the Code I feel that this business should not be allowed to be granted a Conditional Use for our Residential Neighborhood. I actually believe it should be listed as a Prohibited Business but that is another issue I will take up with the other Zoning Board. Again because of the likelihood of more traffic, negative property and resale values, and security and safety issues we please ask that you turn down this request. Thank you Realtor Letters Bev: I don't want to give a "shoot from the hip" type answer on this...but here's my thoughts... If someone has a gun (ie they are a hunter) and want to sell or buy a gun NOT as an on -going business, I think that should be okay. Looking at it from a "BUSINESS" point of view...is WAY different. It could make the "business" a target for less - than- desirable people who want guns. Even if it's "internet" buying and selling, the guns will be brought to and taken out of the business on more than a "regular" basis. I am not opposed to guns (we have a couple...a 12 gauge used for hunting and a pistol for target practice). I absolutely believe we should all have the right to bear arms...just not buy and sell them next door in a neighborhood "all the time ". "Residential" living should be about families enjoying their homes and their children being able to play safely without having concerns of less than desirables coming into the neighborhood. There's enough of that going on as it is. am sure, too, there would be a lot of decent people who travel in and out of the "business "...and probably most would be. But then there are the others that you wouldn't want to "attract" to your neighborhood. The sale of guns as a business should be done out of a business district and not in someone's backyard. In "my opinion "...if I brought clients into your neighborhood to buy a home and they found out the neighbor buys and sells guns for a living...they would probably move on to something else...l'd bet money on that. Another example of "what people look for when buying a home...they aren't usually attracted to "a busy street" if there is concern about child safety...common sense would tell you they wouldn't want to live next door to a "gun dealer" either. My last point...I doubt any gun business will be limited to "hunters "...so the type of some people coming to a gun dealer's door aren't going to be looking for a nice deer rifle! I wouldn't want to encourage "that type" to come to my neighborhood and most people wouldn't! Bev, I would prefer you kept my name anonymous and you could refer to me as a "local realtor" in your conversations. I am not afraid to voice my concerns, I just don't want to be miss quoted or get pulled into this at this point. I have enough to keep me busy. You may also check with Joe Leiser at the Board Office (he's the executive officer) to get his thoughts. I'm sure don't speak for every realtor, but I would guess the majority as to their experience with clients...no matter what they themselves might think. Good luck to you.

By allowing a gun business in a residential neighborhood, would greatly decrease home values, and make it very difficult to bring new families to the neighborhood.

Ames City Council Tuesday unanimously approved adding firearms sales to the list of prohibited home businesses for the third time making it law. George Seaton, who applied for a permit to sell firearms in his home in April, was given a one year permit which will be valid until April 2013, despite the new prohibition, WOI reported. Seaton has a Federal Firearms License, which allows him to sell firearms as a business so long as zoning laws allow it. Residents in Seaton's neighborhood petitioned the council to add firearms to the list of prohibited businesses after learning of his home business earlier this year, saying that they believed it could affect their property values. At an Oct. 9 City Council meeting neighbors of other in -home firearms sales businesses including Suzi Howk, told the council that they have seen no impact on their neighborhood as the result of similar businesses. Representatives from the Iowa Firearms Coalition, Liberty Iowa PAC and Campaign for Liberty also collected more than 300 signatures from residents who said they weren't in favor of the home occupation ban and filed the petition Oct. 9. Council members approved the third reading unanimously without discussion at the time of the vote. Animal hospitals, dancing and exercise studios, private clubs, restaurants, stables and kennels, repair or painting of motor vehicles and motorcycles are already on the list of prohibited home occupations. The ban doesn't affect private gun sales or firearms possession. This one is pretty close to home. It looks like it was pretty easy to get it through to ban it in Ames. It sounds like there were even people in favor of allowing it but the City Council still approved the ban. http: / /pleasanthill.patch.com /blog_posts /10- reasons -to -ban- home - gun - dealers 10 Reasons to Ban Home Gun Dealers Posted on November 8, 2012 at 2:23 pm You don't have to live in Pleasant Hill to be concerned about the ramifications of allowing Home Gun Dealers to operate in residential neighborhoods. Guns don't stay where they are sold. And illegal guns all start out as legal guns. Sales of firearms and ammunition, two dangerous products, belong in a commercial business zone with proper security and oversight, not in a residential neighborhood. The Contra Costa Brady Campaign urges you to attend the following meeting and SUPPORT A BAN on home or kitchen table gun dealers, SPECIAL MEETING: CITY OF PLEASANT HILL CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP ON FIREARMS & AMMUNITION SALES IN RESIDENTIAL -ZONED AREAS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2012, 6:00 P.M. Pleasant Hill City Hall Community Rooms, 100 Gregory Lane Here are 10 good reasons why you should be concerned about having your next door neighbor (Federal Firearms License or FFL dealer) selling guns and ammunition out of his home: 1 The safety of residents in close proximity to home -based firearm and ammunition sales poses concerns about its negative influence on children, the possible increase in violence and /or criminals in city residential neighborhoods, trafficked firearms, and the infrequency of federal and state inspections to adequately regulate these business operations once established; 2. Fire and /or explosive hazard caused by potentially large quantities of stored firearms and ammunition in close proximity to the homes of neighboring residents; 3. Potential theft of firearms and ammunition through burglary or robbery; 4. Inability to safely and securely store such firearms and ammunition in a home -based business where children are commonly present; 5. No assurance that appropriate measures are being taken to prevent the accessibility of firearms /ammunition by individuals prevented by law from possessing them 6. Increased vehicular and foot traffic in residential areas caused by a firearms and ammunition sales business that could change the neighborhood's character and harm the quality of life; 7. Probable negative impact on neighboring property values and requirement to "disclose" presence of home gun dealer upon sale of neighbors' homes; 8. Increased demands on local law enforcement resources to monitor numerous home gun dealers, or lack of any oversight by local police department; 9. Lack of sufficient federal or state inspections due to limited resources. (ATF reported in 2007 that it inspects each FFL, on average, only once every 17years); 10. Home gun dealers selling over the Internet are difficult to monitor. According to ATF, home -based Internet FFL gun dealers typically operate by setting up a website offering a variety of firearms and ammunition. The dealer responds to requests by placing orders to the manufacturer, and the firearms are sent to the dealer's home. He then sells them out of his house or redistributes them through the mail to another FFL dealer out of the area. Because of these concerns, cities and counties throughout California have adopted laws prohibiting kitchen table gun dealers. Keep your neighborhood safe by making your voice heard on November 15th. http: / /goo.gl /xb7Nz This article says it all for our neighborhood. I certainly hope you understand it is just not our neighborhood but neighborhoods all over the country that are fighting this issue. i have hi- lighted the areas that we feel affect our neighborhood and are fighting this business on but all points need to be considered. Actually I hi- lighted only the five areas pertinent to the Unified Development Code for that meeting, but all 10 are pertinent to this meeting. A point of fact is the person in our neighborhood did not even have an alarm system in his house and when asked by a board member if he was going to get one he replied yes sometime, but an alarm system isn't a requirement for a Conditional Use Permit and this certainly should be for this type of business. Please look closely at all 10 reasons. http: / /www.sltrib.com /sltri b /news /54688854 -78/I eigh- business - gun- planni ng.html.csp Daybreak resident hopes to sell firearms from home Custom guns » Neighbors worry about idea because the subdivision is full of children. By cathy mckitrick The Salt Lake Tribune First Published Aug 13 2012 05:49 pm • Last Updated Nov 30 2012 11:32 pm Joseph Leigh believed he'd found a way to beat the recession with a new business in his South Jordan home: assembling and selling specialty guns. Selling firearms from his Daybreak house would be the key to bringing in a salary after Leigh was laid off last year, planning documents filed with the city show. He'd already operated a gun business out of his home when he lived in Pleasant View in 2010 and wanted to retry the endeavor. But that plan hit a snag when a neighbor raised concerns about gun sales in a subdivision full of children, leading the South Jordan Planning Commission to reject Leigh's request for a business license to operate the firearms business. But Leigh isn't giving up yet, and on Tuesday, he'll appeal his denial to the commission in an effort to secure a license for his home to operate Leigh Custom Arms LLC. He insists his gun business won't be a safety hazard. Leigh has said he intends to sell standard factory firearms upon request, but does not plan to carry inventory. Should his business grow to that point, Leigh told city planners he would move assembly and sales to a regular storefront. "Pre- manufactured parts will be ordered from several outside vendors and those parts will be assembled into the firearm," Leigh told city planners in an appeal letter. Leigh has an active federal license that allows him to manufacture firearms, a process he likened to assembling bicycles, according to city documents. Leigh said he also plans to offer gun training, with classroom work and target shooting taking place off -site from his home as part of his business. Licenses like the one Leigh requested, however, can be a hard sell to the commission, which is required by a city ordinance to deny a license for a home occupation business if any neighbors voice objections, said South Jordan City Planner Jake Warner. Notices were sent out to all residents within 300 feet of Leigh's home, Warner said. The planning board denied Leigh's request last month based on a neighbor's letter of concern about locating such a "high- risk" business in a residential area teeming with children, "where the homes are at times not even 10 feet from door to door." Leigh's chance to get a business license for his home isn't over yet, though. City ordinance allows applicants to appeal, Warner said, which Leigh filed late last month. In his letter of appeal, Leigh pledged to install steel grates over basement window wells and to keep all guns under lock and key. He also said it would take three to six weeks to fill customer orders. "This waiting period, along with the cost of the gun, is not typical for someone who would want to purchase a gun to commit a crime," Leigh told planners. Warner said it's likely the planning board will grant Leigh's request if all impacts can be mitigated. That approval, however, could later be appealed to the City Council, where Leigh's request for a business license could again be shot down. In early July, Holladay's Planning Commission approved a similar home -based firearms business over robust objections from neighboring residents. However, they did not pursue recourse from the City Council within the allowed io-clay period and any further appeal must be filed in court. In other action, South Jordan's planning board will also consider a conditional use permit Tuesday for the city's first indoor shooting range in a commercial zone at 1231 W. South Jordan Parkway. The new business, called "The Gun Vault," will also sell firearms. The high - lighted text shows excactly what 1 DO NOT want to happen in our neighborhood. This is the gun dealers' solution to more security. Open your business in a commercial district where bars are not out of place!!! http: / /www.wkbw.com /home /Buffalo- Man - Wants -to- Sell -Gu ns- Out -of- Home- 184196671.html WKBW) Howard Slaughter owns a home on the corner of Adams and Sycamore Streets in the city's Ellicott District. Slaughter teaches a pistol permit class and now wants the opportunity to sell guns to his clients -- out of his home. Slaughter made a request to city officials for permission to sell firearms out of his Adams Street home that request was denied Wednesday afternoon. "His house is too close to the main street and school buses pick up children and drop children off and there is a city bus stop there. It wouldn't be feasible, "stated Norma Robinson, who has lived on Adams Street for 57 years. "The neighbors were concerned about delivery methods, they were concerned about people breaking into his home, to look for weapons on the premises," said Councilmember Darius Pridgen. Meanwhile, there have been more than two dozen violent 911 calls, including one gun call and robbery over the past year at various locations on Adams Street. None of those calls involved Slaughter's home. Slaughter could not be reached for comment for this story I wish we were in Buffalo. It seems a lot easier to have this stopped than here in Dubuque. These people didn't even have to fight that hard. http: / /www.mlive.com/ news /grand- rapids /index.ssf /2013 /04 /post_372.html PORT SHELDON TOWNSHIP, MI -- Neighbors came armed with data ready to shoot down a special use request to operate a gun shop in a residential neighborhood. But the issue ended on Wednesday, April 24, without a bang when applicants Roger and Jill Miller asked by letter to withdraw their request from consideration by the township Planning Commission. "It has come to our attention that we might have some neighbors who have serious concerns about our request," wrote the Millers in a letter to planners read at the start of Wednesday's meeting. "Being a good neighbor is more important to us; it is our hope that this retraction might help alleviate those concerns." Neighbors along Lakeshore Drive began to organize against the special use permit after it was requested in March. One of the things that concerns us is the increase in home invasions and robberies that occur when people know there are guns," said neighbor Mary Nienhuis, who was one of about 30 homeowners to attend the meeting. "There are appropriate places to sell guns and residential neighborhoods is not one of them," she said. Other residents questioned whether gunpowder, ammunition and guns were being kept on the property. They also complained of gunshots being fired on the property in a residential area where children played outside. Building Official Wayne Oosterink said he visited the Miller property and found equipment and components for reloading bullets in an accessory building on the property. "There were no guns or powder on site but township requirements are that a home occupation has to be done in the home," said Oosterink, noting that the Millers had been sent a "cease and desist order" because of the accessory building violation. Commission Chairman Ken Souter said homeowners in the township "by right" are allowed to run home occupations. Home occupations involving guns though require approval of a special use permit from the Planning Commission. Souter said Port Sheldon is a rural township and individuals have the right to safely fire guns on their property. The only restriction is that if a gun is being used during hunting, it cannot be fired within 400 feet of a residents. Resident Jack Petroelje said he was pleased that the request for a gun business permit was withdrawn without a fight. "It was the right thing to do. We have lived in this area for 27 years and my wife and I decided that if the permit was approved we would have to move," he said. These people are lucky. Their gun business requesters cared enough about the neighborhood to do the right thing. I think our neighborhood will never be the same because of what this request has done to us. SANDY HOOK PROMISF Sandy Hook Promise (SHP) is a non - profit corporation* created by members of the community of Newtown, Connecticut in response to the shooting on December 14, 2012, at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, which killed 20 children, four teachers and two administrators. A FRKUiVIISE iS BORikf There was a gathering of people in Newton. It was in someone's kitchen, and it was filled with friends and neighbors who knew they needed to be together. Gradually, as they spoke, they also realized something else. They understood that they had a responsibility. To honor the kids and teachers they'd lost, as well as the survivors. They promised to do whatever they could to not let this tragedy stand as just another in our country's history. WITH EVERY HUG, A PROMISE The first mission of SHP is to support the families of the victims, the survivors, first responders and teachers and staff of the school as well as the community of Newtown, ( "our community ') by providing financial and service support and assistance whenever possible and for as long as it takes for each individual to heal. THE PROMISE QF COMMON SENSE Moving forward, the SHP mission is to work to identify and implement holistic, common sense solutions that will make our community and our country safer from similar acts of violence through education, outreach and grass -roots discussion. SHP believes the time has come to enter into these discussions with equal parts of Love, Compassion, and Common Sense. OUR APPROACH -- List u, Learn, NCi Listen and Learn: SHP will promote open dialogue around the areas of gun responsibility, mental health and school safety. We will have ongoing discussions with experts, groups, communities and elected officials across the United States to better understand the nature of the challenges we confront and the most promising solutions — legislative and non - legislative. Sandy Hook families, survivors, parents of child survivors, first responders, teachers, staff, as they choose, will be part of our discussion and undertaking. Act: We will speak with one voice in support of those actions that will make our communities and country safer from similar acts of violence. We do not have an `all or nothing' approach and will focus our energy on those areas that we believe have the greatest impact. We do not believe that every solution requires a law. We are committed to local and national legislative and non - legislative change. THE PROMISE, THIS TIME, OF REAL CHANGE This is the time. The time to stand up and say that our society should not live under the threat of this kind of violence. Sandy Hook Promise is committed to making Newtown be remembered as the place where we came together both as a community...and as a nation, and decided that we must do everything we can to prevent tragedies like this from happening again. Let Newtown go down in history as the place where real change began. change.org Recipient: Letter: City Zoning Boards Greetings, Prohibit firearm sales in residential neighborhoods Signatures - 19) Name Beverly Knockel Knockel Denice Bergfeld Diane Knockel Sue Dodd KATHY NOEL Alicia Batt Concerned Citizen Laura Saxon shedy berrios Edward Laurson Peggy Howard Katie Husband Julie Keck Amy Spiegelhalter Dave Keck Jennifer Lewis Karen Noel Anne Heinz Bill Stevens Dana Friedel Jeffrey Dodd Charles David Lora David David Spiegelhalter Jeff Dodd Location Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States DUBUQUE, IA, United States Minneapolis, MN, United States New City, NY, United States morriston, FL, United States jacksonville nc, NC, United States Denver, CO, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Fareham, DC, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States New York, NY, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States New York, NY, United States Date 2013 -06 -02 2013 -06 -02 2013 -06 -02 2013 -06 -03 2013 -06 -03 2013 -06 -03 2013 -06 -04 2013 -06 -04 2013 -06 -04 2013 -06 -05 2013 -06 -06 2013 -06 -11 2013 -06 -13 2013 -06 -14 2013 -06 -16 2013 -06 -16 2013 -06 -16 2013 -06 -16 2013 -06 -17 2013 -06 -17 2013 -06 -17 2013 -06 -20 2013 -06 -20 2013 -06 -22 2013 -06 -24 Name Martha Fuerste Pam Meehan Evelyn Nadeau daniel jaeger Barb Dieck Ruth Scharnau Sharon Thies Jo Grabow Debra Stephenson Richard Fischer Sue Wilson Mary Sawyer Dianne Koch Larry Miller Pam Sejkora Mona Sorenson John Sorenson Donna Miller Todd Lange Joy Peterson Dorothy Schwendinger Carolyn Pettit -Lange Mary Loney Bichell Paula Roling Marilyn Dansart Luke Lammer Diane Brotherton Location Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Bernard, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque , IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Dubuque, IA, United States Date 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -24 2013 -06 -25 2013 -06 -25 2013 -06 -25 2013 -06 -25 2013 -06 -25 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -26 2013 -06 -27 2013 -06 -27 2013 -06 -27 2013 -06 -27 Name Sara McAlpin Pat Farrell, OSF Ron Coates David Becker Judy Nauman Gwen Hennessey Mike McFarland Thomas Johnson james snyde Lou Ann Kilburg Bertha Fox Davida Loosbrock,OSF Kevin Koch Marge Staudt Margreet Ryan Elvira Kelley Patricia Anderson Jane Wild Gary Knockel Joan Knockel Amy Knockel Kris Gallagher gina richman -

I do not believe there should be more venues available for the purchase and resale of guns. 26 2013 -06- With guns available in so many locations, why would think a neighborhood business ought to be selling more guns! 26 2013 -06- The ready availablity of guns increases the chances of violence. Home based business are less apt to be monitored. 26 2013 -06- It does seem ridiculous that one cannot style hair or fix a car on their 26 property...but they CAN sell guns? This business should absolutely be in a business rather than a residential district. 20t3 -06- 27 Not Acceptable! 2013 -06- IF a beautician cannot work from the home why on earth should a gun salesman? 27 2013 -06- Even after the seriousness of the Newtown tragedy and the national outcry in 27 support of tighter gun control, there seems to be something of a stalemate in legislation to further protect life by restrictions on the purchase and use of firearms. That has been alarming and disappointing to me. However, we can do something more locally in our community and I think that prohibiting firearm business in residential neighborhoods would be an excellent place to start. I am in full support of this effort! 2013 -06- Neighborhood Safety and Crime prevention 27 2013 -06- 27 Judy Nauman Name Location Date Comment Mike McFarland Dubuque, IA Joan Knockel Gurnee, IL Anita Hayes Dubuque, IA Mary Katoski Dubuque, IA Teresa Hadro Dubuque, IA Barbra Ilten Holy Cross, IA Kay Gaul Iowa, IA Marci Blum Dubuque, IA Kathleen Carr Dubuque, IA Gwen Nilles Dubuque, IA Carolyn Farrell Dubuque, IA scow Theisen dubuque, IA Renee Hohensee Dubuque, IA Brad Langan dubuque, IA Catherine Hendel Dubuque, IA Donard Collins Dubuque, IA Judy Haley Giesen Dubuque, IA Julia Theisen Dubuque, IA Rick Mihm Dubuque, IA 2013 -06- There are a number of gun dealers in the Downtown neighborhood.

Stores can follow the law easier of background checks, etc. They shouldn't be sold out of homes. 08 2013 -07- 08 This is a common -sense approach to retarding the tide of rising gun violence. 2013 -07- More education, less guns. Makes sense..... 08 2013 -07- Peace is achieved by education not easy access to weapons Let's dialogue with kind words not weapons. 08 2013 -07- 08 2013 -07- I am firmly against the sale of guns in residential neighborhoods. ..too dangerous. 09 2013 -07- 09 2013 -07- 10 2013 -07- 10 Dubuque will be a safer city with less guns!!!

If more guns are available to this business, they are more available to residents, and more likely to be used in domestic disputes & local illegal drug deals. 2013 -07- I want my neighborhood to be a safe place at all times, the more guns the more chance of someone getting killed. 18 19 2013 -07- Residential areas should be a sate place to raise families. Keep businesses separate to improve safety. 19 Paper Petitions —10 pages 250 Signatures PETITION REGARDING PROHIBITING HOME -BASED COMMERCIAL SALE OF FIREARMS IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS We the undersigned support prohibiting the commercial sale of firearms in residential neighborhoods for the following reasons in the Unified Code of Development for the City of Dubuque: Traffic, Negative Property Values and Resale, Safety, Security and Nature of the Business 34' Page 1 r) Name Ad�drreess 1 f L M /71 _ 0 `" %' tarn_ 2 3 1 -D I.tee03toM 9.30favp -I 6-/t4v4VILw pga, S'2ao3 ed t , . . 1 /U fl 7ti -1• Si Cl` S -Zr%c/ 5 �/ , 6 ORMalr / •. 17 a Ilrill � - 8>T..,. 10 4. 1ff_ ., r k t , 11 E_. -- j a s 12 1 ow%. -- a ,` 6 .5-3 'ism vt DOG? 3 ( 13 _� c i .A . 0 C 14 4 „ A ► 3 -!

Ms. Knockel is asking that firearm sales be added to the list of prohibited home -based businesses. DISCUSSION Section 7 -1 of the City of Dubuque's Unified Development Code (UDC) regulates home - based businesses that are by definition located in residentially zoned districts. This section outlines the general provisions regulating home -based businesses and also lists those home -based businesses that are permitted and those that are prohibited. Section 7 -1.4 of the UDC states that any proposed home -based business not specifically prohibited, or that employs up to two people who do not reside within the home herein, shall be considered a conditional use and can be granted or denied by the Zoning Board of Adjustment upon finding that the proposed home -based business can meet the provisions of this section. The general provisions in Section 7 -1.1 state that the home -based businesses may not: 1) Change the outside appearance of the dwelling or be visible from the street. 2) Generate traffic, parking, sewerage or water use in excess of what is normal in a residential neighborhood. 3) Create a hazard to person or property, result in electrical interference or become a nuisance. Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission Page 2 4) Result in outside storage or display of any kind. 5) Employ other than self or family members residing on the premise. 6) Occupy more than 50% of the total floor area of the dwelling unit. 7) Require deliveries of materials to and from the premises involving the use of vehicles over 2 ton capacity, except parcel post or similar parcel service vehicles. 8) Produce noise, vibration or smoke, odors, heat or glare as a result of the home - based business which would exceed that normally produced by a single residence as determined by the City Planner. 9) Advertise with a sign on -site or off - premise. The general provisions further note that customer or client contact shall be primarily by telephone, mail, fax, email or website and not on the premises of the home -based business, except those home -based businesses such as tutoring, teaching, child care or personal services which cannot be conducted without personal contact and that are listed as permitted. General provisions also note that service or sales conducted on the premises shall be by appointment only and shall not be oriented toward or attract off - street customer or client traffic. Section 7 -1.2 lists the following as permitted home -based business: 1) Adult day -care services 2) Art studio 3) Cake decorating 4) Ceramics 5) Computer programming 6) Consultant services 7) Child care (not included licensed child care center) 8) Dress making, sewing and tailoring 9) Film processing 10) Home cooking and preserving 11) Home crafts 12) Home office 13) Home products distributors 14) Income tax preparation 15) Insurance sales persons 16) Mailing services 17) On -line businesses 18) Painting, sculpting and writing 19) Teaching or tutoring limited to 4 persons at one time 20) Telephone answering 21) Typist or stenographer Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission Page 3 Section 7 -1.3 lists the following as prohibited home -based businesses: 1) Antique furniture refinishing for resale on the premise or as a service for the general public 2) Automotive repair, except that an individual residing on the premises may service such individual's own vehicle providing that the provisions of Section 7 -1.1 are met and that no repair shall take place between the hours of 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. 3) Barber and beauty shops 4) Contractor shop 5) Recycling or salvage operation 6) Small engine repair 7) Welding services All home -based businesses, whether specifically permitted or permitted as an approved conditional use, have to follow all of the general provisions as outlined in Section 7 -1.1 above. As an approved conditional use, the Zoning Board of Adjustment can stipulate any additional conditions they feel necessary to mitigate any perceived negative impacts that may be caused by the proposed home -based business. The Zoning Board of Adjustment has approved three home -based firearm sales businesses within the City since 2005. These were located on Windsor Avenue, Phyllrich Drive and Kane Street. The Zoning Board of Adjustment placed conditions on two of the three permits. One approval limited the business to one customer on the premises at a time and limited the hours of operation to between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The second approval limited the hours of operation for delivery and pick -up to between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. The third approval had no conditions. Since the first firearm sales home -based business was approved in 2005, the City of Dubuque's Planning Services Department has received no complaints from the neighbors. The City of Dubuque Police Department has also listed no calls for service at these addresses specific to the firearms business. Over this time there have been numerous calls for service at these locations. However, once the general calls such as fire alarms, ambulance calls and child welfare calls are eliminated, there were five calls regarding illegal parking that may or may not be attributed to the home -based businesses. In general, it has been Planning Services staff's experience that a business of this nature tends to generate little traffic, demand on parking, noise or activity over and above that normally found in a residential neighborhood. There are a number of other permitted home -based businesses that may generate more traffic, such as home day Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission Page 4 care, income tax preparation, insurance sales and teaching or tutoring. Home based firearms sales are generally web based and customer contact is required to be by appointment only. The contact would generally consist of customer pick -up of a firearm that had been ordered over the internet. The applicant states that the home -based firearms business would have a negative impact on the value of adjacent properties. Planning Services staff has no evidence either supporting or dismissing this claim. The applicant also states that based on the nature of the firearms business, there is the possibility there could be security issues and the potential for criminal element to be tempted to rob the home. This potential certainly exists; however, to what degree and how it is different from any other home burglary is not clear. Again, staff can only base their assessment on experience with existing firearm sales and from Police reports. It is also important to note that a resident seeking a Federal Firearms License (FFL) undergoes an extensive background check and must meet all of the rules and regulations set forth by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission review the applicant's request in light of all the information provided, be prepared to discuss the information at the upcoming Zoning Advisory Commission meeting and to provide a recommendation to the City Council.
