SUBDIVISION STAFF REPORT Zoning Agenda: February 4, 2015
Project Name: Derby Grange Acres Preliminary Plat
Property Owner: Arboretum Development, LLC
Applicant: Greg Adams
Number of Lots: 14 Density Allowed: 1/5,000 sq. ft.
Acreage in R.O.W: None Commonly owned lots: None
Total Area: 18.5 Sanitary Sewer: Septic
In City: No Water: Well
In 2-Mile Area: Yes Storm Sewer: N/A
Flood Plain: No Existing Street Access: Yes
Proposed Land Use: Residential Proposed Zoning: R-3, County
Existing Land Use: Vacant Existing Zoning: R-3, County
Adjacent Land Use: North —Agricultural Adjacent Zoning: North — County
East — Residential East — County

West— Residential West — County
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is on the north side of Derby Grange
Road immediately west of the Derby Grange Recreational facility. The subject property
will be served by two private streets to be named Country View Drive and Country View
Court with direct access to Derby Grange Road. The topography generally drains to the
southwest.
Proposed Phasing: None.
Previous Conditions of Zoning or Plats: None.
Dedication of Open Space or Public Amenities: None.
Proposed Streets and Grades: Country View Drive — 3-12%; Country View Court— 1.75
-4%.
Recommended Motion: Motion to approve the submitted preliminary plat of Derby
Grange Acres subject to waiving street width standards for Country View Drive and
Country View Court, and waiving the lot frontage requirement for Lot 6. The submitted
preliminary plat is in all other respects compliant with the Unified Development Code.
Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: This subdivision meets the Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Element Goal 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 4.3, and 10.2.
Subdivision Staff Report — Preliminary Plat Derby Grange Acres Page 2
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: The proposed Derby Grange acres Subdivision will utilize individual septic
systems for each building lot and will have shared wells within the subdivision for
water service.
Traffic Patterns: Access to the proposed subdivision will be off of Derby Grange
Road. Based on 2009 IDOT vehicle counts, there were 1,420 average daily trips
on this portion of Derby Grange Road's intersection with John F. Kennedy Road.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment
provided there is compliance with the Dubuque County Erosion and Sediment
Control Manual.
Adjacent Properties: Staff anticipates the most noticeable impacts to adjacent
properties will be a change in the visual nature of this property with a change from
open space to residential housing, and an increase in vehicle trips on Derby
Grange Road. Staff estimates that the 14 new building lots, when fully built out with
single-family homes, will generate approximately 140 average daily trips.
Recommended Conditions on Plat: None.
Staff Analysis: The submitted preliminary plat of Derby Grange Acres is located on the
north side of Derby Grange Road immediately west of the Derby Grange Recreation
facility. The proposed subdivision will include 14 new single-family building lots and the
construction of two private streets. The subject subdivision is jointly reviewed by both
the City and County of Dubuque as it is within two miles of the city of Dubuque's
corporate limits.
The preliminary plat of Derby Grange Acres encompasses 18.5 acres. Access to this
proposed subdivision will be from a new private street to be named Country View Drive.
In addition, another street to be named Country View Court will create a T intersection
with cul-de-sacs at either end. The applicant's engineer has provided documentation
that the proposed intersection with Derby Grange Road will comply with SUDAS
standards for sight visibility.
The proposed private streets within Derby Grange Acres Subdivision will be built with
22 foot of paving within a 66-foot right-of-way easement. The proposed cross section
of road will have typical drainage swales to manage storm water. Both private streets
will be built with concrete.
The submitted preliminary plat includes one single-family building lot with a substandard
street frontage, Lot 6. The street frontage at the right-of-way easement is 25-foot,
Subdivision Staff Report— Preliminary Plat Derby Grange Acres Page 3
where the city standard is a 50-foot street frontage. Planning staff does not object to
this proposed layout given the size and layout of the subject lot.
Planning Services Department has reviewed the proposed preliminary plat for
compliance with the City's sustainability requirements. The submitted preliminary plat of
Derby Grange Acres proposed the following sustainable subdivision development tools.
Proposed Sustainable Development Tools:
1) The proposed Country View Drive and Country View Court will be built
with concrete (reduced heat island effect) — 5 points
2) The two proposed private roadways will be built to 22-foot wide reducing
storm water runoff— 5 points
3) The covenants for the subdivision will require minimum tree planting on
each lot— 5 points
4) The rating will be reduced to the minimum necessary to construct country
View Drive and country View court— 5 points.
5) Compliance with Dubuque County stormwater management ordinance—
10 points.
6) Bio-retention cells on each lot— 10 points
TOTAL: 40 points
Planning staff is willing to allow the 10 points for compliance with the County Ordinance
on a conditional basis. The submitted final plat and improvement plans will need to
specifically address Best Management Practices that will warrant 10 points. The
County Ordinance requires that the first 1.25 inches of rain be infiltrated on site. This
requirement is more stringent than current City requirements. At this time, the
developer is contemplating using bio-retention cells for each building lot. Under the
Unified Development Code, this already nets developers 10 points.
The developers of the proposed subdivision are required to sign a pre-annexation
agreement with the City. This agreement stipulates that when the City proposes to
annex the property, the property owners, existing and/or future, will agree to the
annexation. In return, the City portion of property taxes will be discounted on a sliding
scale for 10 years. The proposed subdivision also provides sufficient easements to
extend water and sewer into the subdivision without the need of acquiring individual
easements from each property owner in the future.
Planning staff recommends the Zoning Advisory Commission approve the submitted
preliminary plat of Derby Grange Acres subject to waiving the street width standard for
Country View Drive and Country View Court, and waiving the lot frontage requirement
for Lot 6.
