MEMORANDUM
November 13, 2007
TO: Michael C. Van Milligan, City Manager
FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager `¢o'
RE: Voluntary Annexation Request of Kress Industrial Facility
Introduction
This memo transmits a request from Kress Industrial Facility for voluntary annexation of
80 acres of property south of Old Highway Road and west of the railroad line, in
conjunction with rezoning the property to LI Light Industrial District. A staff report,
vicinity map, and the application for voluntary annexation are enclosed.
Discussion
On December 5, 2007, the Zoning Advisory Commission is scheduled to consider the
rezoning request at a public hearing.
The City Council's public hearing on the rezoning request should be held concurrently
with the public hearing on the annexation. Staff recommends that a public hearing be
held at the City Council's December 17, 2007 meeting to meet State Code notification
requirements for annexations within an urbanized area.
For annexation of this property, 16.17 acres of railroad right-of--way must be included.
Recommendation
I recommend that a public hearing on the voluntary annexation request of Kress
Industrial Facility be set for the City Council's December 17, 2007 meeting.

ANNEXATION STAFF REPORT
Council Agenda: December 17, 2007
Property Location: South of Old Highway Road and west of railroad line
Property Owner: Kress Industrial Facility
Legal Description: Kunde Place #2 -Lot 3
Proposed Land Use: Light Industrial Proposed Zoning: LI
Existing Land Use: Agricultural Existing Zoning: County R-1 Single-Family
Adjacent Land Use: North -Residential/AG Adjacent Zoning: North -County R-1
East -Industrial/AG East -City Hic and LI; County R-1
South -Agricultural South -County R-1
West -Agricultural West -County R-1
Flood Plain: No Total Area: 80 acres
Water: Yes Existing Street Access: Yes
Storm Sewer: No Sanitary Sewer: No
Purpose/Reason for Annexation: To rezone to LI Light Industrial District for property
to be developed for industrial uses, in conjunction with annexation.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is farmland located south of Old
Highway Road and west of the railroad line.
Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: Goal 8.4 of the Economic Development
Element of the 2002 Comprehensive Plan states: Annex additional land, as necessary
and as possible to accommodate projected commercial and industrial expansion. The
2030 Future Land Use Map designates this parcel for rural density residential
development.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: The property can be adequately served by City water main along Old
Highway Road. City sanitary sewer service is approximately one mile away and
terminates on the south side of the landfill property.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The subject property is west of the intersection of
Seippel Road and Old Highway Road. Based on IDOT 2005 vehicle counts,
Annexation Staff Report -Kress Industrial Facility
Seippel Road carries approximately 1,520 ADT (average daily traffic) and Old
Highway Road carries approximately 1,450 ADT.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the property as
it's developed for industrial purposes.
Environment: No adverse impacts provided erosion control and stormwater
management are implemented.
Adjacent Properties: The impact to adjacent properties most likely will be through
an increased volume of traffic and an increase in the ambient light level and noise
levels, depending on the nature of any future industrial uses on the subject
property.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: The property requested for annexation
contingent on rezoning lies with the urbanized area (i.e., within two miles) of the City of
Asbury and the City of Centralia. Iowa Code allows for these types of voluntary
annexation requests be approved first by the City Council, and then by the State of
Iowa's City Development Board. The property meets Iowa Code requirements for 50
feet of adjacent boundary for annexation to the City of Dubuque provided that 16.17
acres of railroad right-of-way is also annexed. Because the subject property is adjacent
to Old Highway Road, the City must annex to the center line of this County road to
comply with Iowa Code. The property is adjacent to existing industrial uses in the
County and industrial zoning in the City.
The property is included in the City's 2006 Annexation Study Update in Area P, which is
located westerly of the City of Dubuque. Area P is part of the South Catfish Creek
basin and land forms generally slope easterly and northeasterly. The topography in
Area P is considered moderate to moderately rough. There is a limited amount of
commercial and residential development along Old Highway Road in the northern part
of Area P. The majority of Area P is undeveloped and used for agricultural use.
Development of Area P will require the construction of water main improvements and
sanitary sewer improvements.
Staff recommends approval of the annexation request.
