ACTION ITEM/FINAL PLAT: Application of Carolyn Sandman to approve the Final Plat
of Sandman Homestead.
Kathy Canfield, 10080 Timothy Street, Dubuque, IA spoke on behalf of the applicant
and outlined the request to replat the existing lots to three lots. She stated that they are
replating the properties to allocate some property to family members and to consolidate
the remaining existing into one lot.
Staff Member Moon detailed the staff report, noting the submitted Plat of Survey of
Sandman Homestead is located in Dubuque County within the city's extraterritorial
jurisdiction area. She stated that the plat will reconfigure fifteen (15) existing lots into
three (3) lots and will align an existing roadway easement. She noted that two lots will
not have frontage on a public or private street which does require a waiver of the street
frontage requirements.
Chairperson Mulligan questioned when the property was originally platted, and Ms.
Canfield stated that it was platted sometime around 1976.
