Per section 306.19(5) of the Iowa Code, the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) is providing

Peosta Interchange easterly to hear the intersection with the Northwest Arterial in Dubuque, Iowa.
Corridor preservation width varies depending upon location within the corridor. Please be advised
that each city and county is required to notify the IDOT in writing of a receipt of an application for
building permit for construction valued at $25,000 or more, of the submission of a subdivision plat,
or prior to a zoning change. Written notification shall include all pertinent information regarding the
proposed permit, plat, or zoning change.

affecting the area, the city or county shall not issue the building permit, approve the subdivision plat,
or change the zoning. The IDOT will begin the process of acquiring property or property rights from
the affected persons within ten days of the IDOT's written notification of intent to the city or county.
The city or county notice to the IDOT of receipt of a building permit, subdivision plat, or proposed
