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

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 final 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.
