RE: Final Plat in Dubuque County
Applicant: Jim Gantz
Location: John F. Kennedy Road and Forest Gate Road
Description: Final Plat of Lots 1-3, Inclusive, of Forest Grange Subdivision
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
The City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission has reviewed the above-cited request.
The application, staff report and related materials are attached for your review.
Discussion
The applicant spoke in favor of the request, noting the plat actually reduces the number of
building lots when compared to the previously approved preliminary plat.
Staff reviewed lot sizes and street frontages that provide access to the new lots. Staff
recommended approval of the final plat, with a waiver of design standards since the
subdivision is in the County.
There were no public comments.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, noting that the plat does not
adversely impact adjacent property.
Recommendation
By a vote of 6 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council
approve the request, subject to waiving Article IV, Design and Improvement Standards,
except for Section 42-19(b) Lots and Blocks.
A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.
Respectfully submitte/d~ .
Eugene (gird, Jr., Chairperson
Zoning Advisory Commission
