Subdivision Staff Report - Preliminary Plat, Forest Grange Subdivision #3
Page 2
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: None. The existing subdivision will have private wells and septic systems
to serve individual homes while the area is served with existing utilities for
electricity and gas.
Traffic Patterns: Based on IDOT counts from 2001, there are 3,460 average daily
trips on John F. Kennedy Road.
Public Services: Existing public services to serve the subdivision.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment
provided adequate erosion control is provided during all phases of development of
the property.
Adjacent Properties: The platting and development of six additional single-family
lots in this area will have a negligible impact to adjacent properties.
Recommended Conditions on Plat: None.
Staff Analysis: The submitted preliminary plat of Lots 1-6, Inclusive, of Forest Grange
Subdivision #3 is a continuation of the Forest Grange Subdivision on the south side of
John F. Kennedy Road. The original preliminary plat for this property was approved in
October 1990 and included this area.
The submitted preliminary plat provides for the construction of a private street with a 50-
foot right-of-way and 31 feet of paving. The proposed private street would serve six
homes that would take their access directly from the proposed Forest Glen Court. The
proposed lots are a minimum of one-acre in size and each would be served by its own
well and septic system.
The submitted preliminary plat of Lots 1-6, Inclusive, of Forest Grange Subdivision #3 is
in substantial compliance with City of Dubuque Subdivision regulations, and Planning
staff would recommend approval of the plat as submitted.
