SUBJECT: Pre-Annexation Agreement — Corey J. Firzlaff

DATE: May 27, 2016
Planning Services Manager Laura Carstens is recommending City Council approval of a
Pre-Annexation Agreement with Corey Firzlaff, property owner of Lot 15 in Twin Ridge

serves the Twin Ridge Subdivision. As part of connecting with the City's water and

standard City rates.

INTRODUCTION
This memo transmits for City Council review and approval a pre-annexation agreement
with Corey Firzlaff, property owner, of Lot 15 of Twin Ridge Subdivision No. 2. The
vicinity map, agreement, resolution, and related materials are enclosed.
DISCUSSION
The City of Dubuque has acquired the water and sewer system that serves the Twin
Ridge Subdivision. The subdivision is in the Key West area south of the existing city of
Dubuque corporate limits. As a part of connecting with the City's water and sewer
system, a pre-annexation agreement must be signed to receive the utilities at standard
City rates. Without a pre-annexation agreement, the property owners would have to
pay one and a half times the standard City rates.
Legal staff has prepared the attached pre-annexation agreement with the standard 10-
year transition to the City's share of property taxes that would commence once the
property is annexed to the city at some point in the future. There is no plan to annex the
property at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend the City Council approve the Corey Firzlaff Pre-annexation Agreement for
Lot 15 of Twin Ridge Subdivision No. 2, and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement
on behalf of the City of Dubuque. Thank you.
