ACTION ITEM/FINAL PLAT: Application of Greg Adams to approve the Final Plat of
Country View Estates Plat 2.
Dave Schneider, Hales Mill Development LLC (4029 Pennsylvania Ave.), spoke on
behalf of Hales Mill Development LLC. Mr. Schneider stated they intended to split a
larger lot into smaller lots and noted the large scale of the project. He explained they
were working through Dubuque County for septic and well service. According to Mr.
Schneider, there is still work being done with the County on the storm water portion of
the design and they have also received a letter with comments which they will address
that by adding a 20' asphalt drive and 7 infiltration zones, which was consistent with the
preliminary plat submittal. He added that the plans had been submitted to the City for
review and there were no further comments or concerns.
Staff Member Moon detailed the staff report, noting the submitted Final Plat of Country
View Estates Plat 2 is a part of a larger 84-acre parcel of land. She identified that this is
a subdivision of lot 10 of the Country View Estates and would create 25 new residential
lots, thereby creating a total of 33 residential lots and 2 agricultural lots within the
subdivision. This would increase vehicular traffic in the area but this would not have a
significant impact on the trips for individuals in the area. She stated that the preliminary

plat for this subdivision was reviewed and approved by the Zoning Advisory
Commission and City Council. This case came before the board in January of 2022.
The Commission had no questions regarding the proposal.
Motion by Norton, seconded by Christ, to Approve the Final Plat of Country View
Estates Plat 2 as submitted. Motion carried by the following vote: Aye — Christ, Kemp,
Norton, Russell, Zuccaro, and Mulligan; Nay — none.
ACTION ITEM/FINAL PLAT: Application of Jenny Baez, Bowman Consulting Group,
LTD. to approve the Site Plan of 2541 Northwest Arterial (Asbury Plaza).
Jenny Baez, Bowman Consulting Group LTD (3708 West Swann Avenue, Tampa, FL),
spoke on behalf of New Potato Creek Holdings LLC (124 East Thompson St,
Thomaston, GA). Ms. Baez opened with noting the car wash is 3,600 sq. ft. and in a
Planned Commercial Zone within the Asbury Plaza planned district. She detailed the
plan explaining there is a total of 37 parking spots on the property comprised of 2 ADA
compliant spots, 3 employee spots, and 32 vacuum parking spots which could be used
by customers after getting a car wash. She also explained how the car wash would use
reclaimed water, recycling water on site making it more environmentally friendly. She
also explained how the landscaping on the site goes above and beyond the
requirements. She noted there will be no direct access to the business from the
Northwest Arterial, but it would utilize a private drive within the plaza. She included that
the site plan meets the fire department safety requirements and she described the traffic
flow through the property and how vehicles are self -driven therefore requiring a
maximum of three employees would be onsite at any given time and those employees
would mainly monitor and process payments.
Commissioner Russell questioned why the design had so many vacuums on the site.
Ms. Baez explained the business conducted a market analysis to determine the demand
which impacted the number of vacuums and noted the vacuums are free to customers.
Commissioner Russel asked how long the line would take to get through if the car wash
was backed up. Ms. Baez stated a standard operation provides 10 car stacking spaces
and takes about 10 minutes to wash a vehicle. This site would provide between 10 to
15 queuing spaces.
Staff Member Moon detailed the staff report, noting the Ordinance of Asbury Plaza
requires a review at this level is a unique item for the board, further explaining that all
development in this Planned Unit Development must come before the board for review
and approval. She also noted the applicant is going through development review, is still
working with the storm water, but, engineering and fire have already reviewed and
approved. She closed with affirming that the site is using a private street so it would not
impact travel and that the landscaping requirements will be met.
