Dubuque Zoning Board Rejects Landscaping Waiver for Middle School Expansion

The Dubuque Zoning Board has voted to deny a request for a landscaping waiver related to the planned expansion of Eleanor Roosevelt Middle School. The decision follows a review of the school district's proposed site plans, which aimed to adjust existing landscaping requirements. Board members indicated that the current standards were necessary for the project's compliance with municipal codes. The district will now need to revise its site plans or pursue further administrative options to move forward with the expansion under the current guidelines.
