Kritz, Associate Planner'x~~~ SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment to Medical Associates Planned Unit Development District INTRODUCTION The Zoning Advisory Commission is being asked to review a new proposed amendment to the Planned Unit Development District for the Medical Associates west side campus known as Associates Park. The proposed amendment is to change the land use designation of a portion of Lot 9, which is currently designated as a greenway buffer, to business. The Zoning Advisory Commission reviewed a similar request at their September 5, 2007 meeting. The previous request involved the entire greenway buffer (Lot 9); the present request is to only designate a portion of the greenway buffer for business use. The existing PUD Ordinance for Associates Park allows C-3 uses and setbacks for lots designated as business in the PUD Ordinance. The applicant is requesting an amendment to facilitate construction of a new building on the subject parcel. DISCUSSION The Medical Associates Planned Unit Development District was established in 1994. The PUD was amended in 1996 to revise the conceptual plan and allowed aright- in/right-out access to the Northwest Arterial. The PUD District was amended again in 1999 to allow the two freestanding signs at the entrances to Associates Park. The proposed amendment would change the land use classification of a portion of Lot 9 from greenway buffer to business, as shown in the diagram (Exhibit A) submitted by the applicant. Attached to this memo a copy of the Associates Park PUD ordinance adopted in 1996 that business parcels are to be developed under the C-3 General Commercial regulations of the City's Zoning Ordinance. The existing greenway buffer is approximately three acres in size and is located between the existing and future Medical Associates Clinic parking areas and residential dwellings along Cora Drive. The subject property slopes from the existing and future Proposed Amendment to Medical Associates Planned Unit Development October 29, 2007 Page 2 parking areas down to the dwellings on Cora Drive. The parcel is approximately 180 foot in width for most of its length, except for the east and west ends, which are somewhat wider. The portion of the greenway to be re-designated is approximately half of the three-acre parcel. If the property is designated for business use, the setbacks for a new structure would be the same as the C-3 General Commercial District bulk standards. Front yard setback is 20 feet, side yard setback is 6 feet, and rear yard setback is 20% of lot depth. The subject parcel is 180-foot deep for most of the area adjacent to the residences on Cora Drive. The applicant, Bob Hartig, has provided a diagram (Exhibit A) that shows the likely position of a future commercial structure. A portion of the structure is shown on the area designated for future parking for Medical Associates Clinic, and the remainder on the designated greenway. The sloped nature of the property would allow for convenient vehicle access to the lower level without eliminating a significant amount of future parking spaces for the next phase of the Medical Associates Clinic. Planning staff would note that if the proposed amendment is approved, the conceptual plan for Associates Park will also be amended by allowing for construction of the proposed building where previously only parking was indicated. Attached to this memorandum are copies of the previously approved conceptual development plans in 1994 and 1996. A draft PUD Ordinance that reflects the proposed changes is included for the Commission's review. RECOMMENDATION Planning staff recommends that Zoning Advisory Commission review Section 3-5.5 of the Zoning Ordinance that establishes criteria for the review of Planned Unit Development Districts.

Kelley 3836 Cora Drive Dubuque,lA 52002 This letter is in reference to the Zoning Advisory Commission meeting held on November 7, 2007 at the City Council Chamber. The proposal for this meeting is to amend existing Associates Park Planned Unit Development District to designate a portion of the existing greenway buffer for business use. I will not be able to attend this meeting with my neighbors but would like to address my concerns below. My name is Kathleen Kelley and I live at 3836 Cora Drive, Dubuque, Iowa. I have been a resident here on Cora Drive since September 1993. I love living here! My first impression of the house was the size was perfect for my son, daughter and I. Cora Drive was a new development then and my house was, approximately, the third townhouse built on that street. What sold me on the house was the privacy of the backyard. Medical Associates is planning on using the green space for a building. I have attached a few pictures showing a picture of my backyard without the building and one that could possibly look like, with a building. It will be so unnecessary to do so. Medical Associates has so many other places for opportunities to build on their land. Do not take this beautiful green space away. It WIII be Ilke looking at a wall. My neighbors have fought so hard to win this green space. We are all 100% against the building for good reasons. We wont' about water runoff from the building and driveway area. My sump pump runs constantly during heavy down pours as it is, not to mention water from the neighbors west of me. I am in my retirement years now and I enjoy sitting on my back deck, overlooking the green space and the beautiful sky. Miss Munson, please take a good look at that picture with the building on it. Would you be happy having that in your backyard?? Please vote NO! Thank you for your time and consideration! Sincerely, ~~. Kathleen R. Kelley krk cc: Kyle L. Kritz, Associate Planner Attachment October 31, 2007 Dear Members of the Zoning Advisory Commission, ~ ~C~~DUC~_.-. l~ i NOV - 2 2Q07 d ~' CITY of cu~ucuE PLANNING SERVICES DEPART~trENT As the owners and residents of 3828 Cora Drive, we are writing to you to express our concern regarding the proposal to amend the existing Associates Park Planned Unit Development District to designate a portion of the existing greenway buffer for business use. We purchased our property in July of 2007. However, we were renters at the adjacent property at 3822 Cora Drive from October of 2003 until July of 2007. The window in our living room at 3822 Cora Drive faces the green space in question and we enjoyed looking out and watching the wildlife-from birds to rabbits-enjoying its natural habitat. This is one of the many reasons that were excited to have the opportunity to invest in a property in the same neighborhood. We have always considered Medical Associates to be good neighbors-quiet and unobtrusive. However, we feel that the passage of this proposal would make Medical Associates a much more intrusive neighbor. In addition, we find it disheartening that a month after both the Zoning Commission and the City Council denied Medical Associates' original proposal, that we find ourselves facing a similar one. In our opinion, Medical Associates' revised proposal fails to address the concerns that caused the Zoning Commission to vote against it in September. The green space was established for a reason thirteen years ago-to serve as a buffer between residential and business zones. Medical Associates, by their own admission, have only completed Phase I of the original 3-phase building plan for their property. We recognize the fact that Medical Associates needs additional space-we are just concerned that they are not considering using space they already have zoned for business use. Because other options exist, in the words of your commission in September of 2007, there is no "compelling" reason to eliminate the green space altogether, or in our opinion, any portion of it. In recent years, the city of Dubuque has prided itself on improving its overall appearance-in projects like America's River Project and the revitalization of Main Street. Efforts like these have earned our city recognition as anAll-America City. In this day and age of growing environmental awareness, we would hope that a so-designated city would pride itself on increasing green space-not reducing it unnecessarily. Although we are saddened by Medical Associates' largely unchanged proposal resurfacing so quickly, we would be more disheartened if this commission would not stand by its September decision. Medical Associates has other options that they need to consider that would not involve the elimination or reduction of the existing greenway buffer. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Emily K. Bush and Marcus J. Albers 3828 Cora Drive Dubuque, IA 52002 ~~~o~~ ~ tJ? r,ov - ~ zoos Dear Zoning Advisory Commission, OF C3UQ S DE PLAP~NI~M1JG SERVILE This situation reminds me of trying to reason with my four year old. Medical Associates previous request to use the designated Green Space to place a building instead of using one of the many other options they have and placing the building on the acreage that is currently zoned for this purpose. It was rejected by 100% of the population of the residential neighborhood, unanimously denied by City Zoning, and then denied again by City Council. Medical Associates in Less than two months has made basically the same request. No means no. The reasons for denying the first request have not changed. I could go through the laundry list of reasons but I believe these are the three main issues. Medical Associates has other options and acreage to build on that is currently zoned for this purpose. Building in the Green Space seems to be the first option when it should be the last option. Even as the last option the Green Space does not need to be used. City Zoning has acknowledged that the presence of the Green Space at its current distance contributes to the success of the development and the neighborhood. People purchased homes with the understanding this designated green space would remain as it is. City Council has recognized this promise and agreed that Green Space was important and the current green space would remain. At this point I believe the neighborhood has reached a level of fiustration with this issue that I believe should be shared by City Zoning and our City Council, no means no. It does not mean ask mom then ask dad, it does not mean ask the same question only slightly different, it does not mean ask me the same question 2 minutes later in hopes the answer will change. No means no.

We are still well aware that the size of the greenway buffer between us and Medical Associates was put there to protect the neighborhood. It was stated by zoning members at the last attempt to rezone this property that they remember this PUD and that buffer was put there to protect us. It was also stated at the last meeting, and at the city council meeting, that Medicai Associates has plenty of room to expand on other parts of their PUD. Our city council stated that we need to protect our "green", and they noted that Medical Associates was against a rezoning request of another business to the south of their property for many of the same reasons we oppose this request. We are not any different in our concerns about them building closer to us, as was stated to them, "the shoe is on the other foot"! NONE of the neighbors concerns that were presented by the first petition have been addressed. The only thing guaranteed by this new rezoning plan is that they will stay 50 feet away from our homes instead of the original 32 feet mandated by zoning. We wilt still have the water run off, values of homes decreasing, fighting, noise, and safety issue problems, just to name a few. Their attempt to divert some of the water run off was washed out in the first rain. A culvert dumping water into the back yards is still unexplained. Nothing has changed, or has been accomplished, in these past 50 days to warrant reconsidering this proposal Guaranteeing us only a 50 foot buffer is not going to solve ar change the problems that building a huge building and driveway is going to do. Also important to remember is that this building plan and driveway is very vague. Changing the zoning opens a whole can of warms on what can be built there and what size it can be and where the driveway will go. Not to mention that they can easily sell this property to many business's that will not be compatible with a residential neighborhood only 50 feet away. They have sold all the property along the Northwest Arterial that became businesses. What is to stop them from doing the same here. It is not right that they have prospered from selling off their. excess property al! around them and now cry "not enough space" to enlarge their facility. Look at the maps, they have a lot of space to build on, they do not need to encroach onto the green space. Again, 4ve are asking you to listen to the..amount of homeowners who are against this zoning change and vote NO to the proposed change. It is a shame that you can no longer view the area personally. if you stood at our homes you vrould have no doubts to vote no and keep our area the way it is. It's the way that past zoning members planned the area, and the way the area was when we built and purchased our homes here. The way it should stay.
