Dubuque County Zoning
Plat Memorandum
TO: Dubuque County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ben Kober, Zoning Administrator, Ben.Kober@dubuquecountyiowa.gov, 563-589-7827
DATE: November 2nd, 2026
RE: Plat of Survey of Y-Camp Place No. 4 – Final Plat
BACKGROUND
Plat of Survey of Lot 1 and Lot 2 of Y-Camp Place No. 4 comprised of the W 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4, in Section 10 T89N, R2E, Dubuque Township, Dubuque County, Iowa.
The property is owned by the Young Men's Christian Association and is adjacent to the City of Dubuque along Kennedy Road with a total of 20.100 acres surveyed. The property is zoned A-1, Agricultural. The purpose of the plat is to allow Wanderwood Gardens to purchase land from the YMCA to construct a parking area for their volunteers.
The plat creates 2 lots. Lot 1 has a total of 19.621 acres surveyed a horse barn, pool and zipline towers and will remain in current ownership and agricultural use. Lot 2 has a total of 0.479 acres surveyed and will be sold to the Wanderwood Gardens to provide additional parking area for employees and volunteers.
Lot 1 will have access from an existing residential driveway off Kennedy Road. Lot 2 will use an existing access through the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens under a separate agreement.
On August 18th, the Dubuque County Zoning Commission recommended approval of the plat by a vote of 4-0, with two members abstaining.
MINOR SUBDIVISION REVIEW
2-31 Classification of Subdivisions
2-31.3 Minor Subdivision. Any subdivision in which no new streets, or other rights-of-way, public or private, are proposed and which does not require the construction of any public improvements and which does not qualify as a simple division, shall be classified as a minor subdivision.
Staff Comment: The Final Plat of Y-Camp Place No. 4 is a minor subdivision because previous plats of survey established lots being subdivided by this Final Plat. There is no rezoning
Page 13

Y-Camp Place No. 4
11/2/26
Page 2 of 3
connected to this Minor Subdivision plat. In A-1 Agricultural, subdivision plats are only allowed if the property qualifies for the Agricultural Exemption, per Iowa Code 335.2 and the Dubuque County Zoning Ordinance. The YMCA owns 77 acres more or less in unincorporated Dubuque County. Additionally, the parcels being created either have existing non-conforming uses on them, or will not be large enough or wide enough to accommodate non-farm residential development.
Chapter 2, Section 64.1 (c) “If the plat is found to substantially conform to the preliminary plat as approved, the final plat shall be forwarded to the Board for review. If the plat is found not to conform to the preliminary plat, it shall be corrected or referred to the Planning Commission for further review, prior to review by the Board. If the Board is referred to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission shall then review the plat and shall forward a written recommendation to the Board within forty-five (45) days of the filing of the plat with the Plats Officer. If the recommendation is to disapprove the plat, or to require modification of the plat, the reasons therefore shall be set forth in writing, and a copy of the recommendation shall be provided to the subdivider.”
Chapter 2, Section 64.1 (d) “Upon receipt of the plat and written reports, the Board shall review the plat and attachments. If the plat is found to conform to the ordinances, statutes and standards of the County and the Comprehensive Plan and other duly adopted plans, all as of the date of approval of the Preliminary Plat; and is found to substantially conform to the preliminary plat, the Board shall approve the plat and shall cause its approval to be entered on the plat.”
Chapter 2, Section 64.1 (e) “Action of the final plat, by the Board, shall be taken within sixty (60) days of the date of filing of the plat with the Zoning Administrator, unless such time period is extended by agreement between the subdivider and the County. However, such time limitation is notwithstanding, if any portion of the land to be subdivided lies within the City's area of review as described in the City Ordinance adopted under Chapter 354 of the Code of Iowa. The Board shall defer final action on the plat until action has been taken by the City. If the action is to disapprove the plat, the reasons therefore shall be set forth in the official records of the Board and such decisions shall be provided to the subdivider.”
Staff Comment: Y-Camp Place No. 4 conforms with the Subdivision and Platting Ordinance, as addressed previously. The properties involved are zoned A-1 Agricultural.
With respect to the Dubuque County Regional Comprehensive Plan, there is new development proposed on Lot 2. A parking area on Lot 2 will create new impermeable surface, or at least a less permeable surface with less vegetative cover to assist with stormwater retention. Buesing and Associates, the subdivider and Wanderwood Gardens are coordinating with the Watershed Department to determine Stormwater Management Ordinance conformance once the plat is approved. They are also working through the City of Dubuque's stormwater management requirements. Chapter 11 of the Comprehensive Plan (Watershed Management) applies to this plat, as increased stormwater runoff will drain to Union Park Hollow Creek, Coulter Valley Creek, Little Maquoketa River, and eventually the Mississippi River.
The Zoning Department has provided copies of their development site plan for the Board of Supervisors to review as a supplement to the subdivision plat. Based on this site plan, less than half of the .479 acres of the proposed Lot 2 will be used for parking or driveway space.

Plat Memorandum
TO: Dubuque County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ben Kober, Zoning Administrator, Ben.Kober@dubuquecountyiowa.gov, 563-589-7827
DATE: November 2nd, 2026
RE: Plat of Survey of Sherrill Place No. 4 – Final Plat
BACKGROUND
Plat of Survey of Lot 1 & Lot 2 of Sherrill Place No. 4 comprised of Lots 1 & 2 of Sherrill Place No. 2, Section 19, T90N, R2E, Peru Township, Dubuque County, Iowa.
The property is owned by Richard Broessel and is located .04 miles east of the City of Sherrill along Sherrill Road with a total of 14.044 surveyed. The property is currently zoned R-1, Rural Residential. There was a previous plat, Sherrill Place No. 3, recorded and filed at the Dubuque County Recorder's office on August 4, 2026, to allow the owner to sell a lot to the Sherrill Fire Department. The Fire Department is now seeking to buy additional property from the owner and will combine it with the previous platted lot to allow the Fire Department more room to build their proposed facilities.
The plat creates 2 lots. Lot 1 has a total of 2.709 acres and will be sold to the Sherrill Fire Department.
Lot 2 has a total of 11.335 acres surveyed with a home, a barn, Lean-to (2), shed, cribs (2) and a machine
shed and will remain in current ownership and agricultural use.
Lot 1 will use an existing field entrance off Sherrill Road. Lot 2 will use an existing residential entrance off Sherrill Road.
On October 20th, 2026, the Dubuque County Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Final Plat of Sherrill Place No. 4 by a unanimous affirmative vote of all Commissioners present, 5-0.
MINOR SUBDIVISION REVIEW
2-31 Classification of Subdivisions
2-31.3 Minor Subdivision. Any subdivision in which no new streets, or other rights-of-way, public or private, are proposed and which does not require the construction of any public improvements and which does not qualify as a simple division, shall be classified as a minor subdivision.

Sherrill Place No. 4
11/2/26
Page 2 of 3
Staff Comment: Sherrill Place No. 4 is a minor subdivision because previous plats of survey established lots being subdivided by this Final Plat.
Chapter 2, Section 64.1 (c) “If the plat is found to substantially conform to the preliminary plat as approved, the final plat shall be forwarded to the Board for review. If the plat is found not to conform to the preliminary plat, it shall be corrected or referred to the Planning Commission for further review, prior to review by the Board. If the Board is referred to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission shall then review the plat and shall forward a written recommendation to the Board within forty-five (45) days of the filing of the plat with the Plats Officer. If the recommendation is to disapprove the plat, or to require modification of the plat, the reasons therefore shall be set forth in writing, and a copy of the recommendation shall be provided to the subdivider.”
Chapter 2, Section 64.1 (d) “Upon receipt of the plat and written reports, the Board shall review the plat and attachments. If the plat is found to conform to the ordinances, statutes and standards of the County and the Comprehensive Plan and other duly adopted plans, all as of the date of approval of the Preliminary Plat; and is found to substantially conform to the preliminary plat, the Board shall approve the plat and shall cause its approval to be entered on the plat.”
Chapter 2, Section 64.1 (e) “Action of the final plat, by the Board, shall be taken within sixty (60) days of the date of filing of the plat with the Zoning Administrator, unless such time period is extended by agreement between the subdivider and the County. However, such time limitation is notwithstanding, if any portion of the land to be subdivided lies within the City's area of review as described in the City Ordinance adopted under Chapter 354 of the Code of Iowa. The Board shall defer final action on the plat until action has been taken by the City. If the action is to disapprove the plat, the reasons therefore shall be set forth in the official records of the Board and such decisions shall be provided to the subdivider.”
Staff Comment: Sherrill Place No. 4 conforms with the Subdivision and Platting Ordinance. The lots created by the plat are zoned R-1 Rural Residential. With respect to the Dubuque County Zoning Ordinance, the new lots all conform to the minimum lot areas for the R-1 Rural Residential Zoning district. The new Lot 1 of Sherrill Place No. 4 will facilitate the construction of a new fire station to serve Dubuque County residents, and such public buildings are permitted use in the R-1 Rural Residential zoning district.
With respect to the Dubuque County Regional Comprehensive Plan, there is no rezoning connected to this Minor Subdivision. All lots are zoned R-1, so there is potential for residential development, meeting the goals and objectives of Chapter 8 “Housing.” However, there will be future access issues should the current or future owner seek to create lots for development down the road.
Facilitating the construction of new public buildings, including fire stations, also meets the goals and objectives of Chapter 4 “Community Facilities,” and Chapter 10 “Hazard Mitigation.”

PLAT OF SURVEY MEMORANDUM
TO: Dubuque County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ben Kober, Zoning Administrator., Ben.Kober@dubuquecountyiowa.gov, 563-589-7827
DATE: November 2nd, 2026
RE: Plat of Survey of Weber Dubuque Farm No. 2 – Final Plat
BACKGROUND
Plat of Survey of Lot 1 & Lot 2 of Plat of Survey of Lot 1 & Lot 2 of Weber Dubuque Farm No. 2 comprised of Lot 2 of Weber Dubuque Farm, Section 10, T87N, R1E, Prairie Creek Township, Dubuque County, Iowa.
The property is owned by Dollinc, LLC and is located approximately 2.97 miles north of the City of Bernard along Callahan Road with a total of 98.35 acres surveyed. The property is currently zoned A-1, Agricultural and A-2, Agricultural Residential on approved ZC#07-10-26, rezoning 3 acres to A-2, Agricultural Residential to allow them to sell that to a family member so they can build a new home and continue to assist in the farming operations.
The plat creates 2 lots. Lot 1 has a total of 3.22 acres surveyed and will be sold to a family member. Lot 2 has a total of 95.13 acres surveyed with several agricultural buildings and will remain in current ownership and agricultural use. Lot 1 will use an existing field entrance, with a pending residential entrance off Callahan Road. Lot 2 will use several existing field entrances along Callahan Road.
On October 20th, the Dubuque County Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Final Plat of Weber Dubuque Farm No. 2 by a unanimous affirmative vote of all members present, 5-0.
MINOR SUBDIVISION REVIEW
2-31 Classification of Subdivisions
2-31.3 Minor Subdivision. Any subdivision in which no new streets, or other rights-of-way, public or private, are proposed and which does not require the construction of any public improvements and which does not qualify as a simple division, shall be classified as a minor subdivision.
Staff Comment: The Final Plat of Weber Dubuque Farm No. 2 qualifies as a minor subdivision because previous plats of survey established lots in the original aliquot parts.

Chapter 2, Section 64.1 (c) “If the plat is found to substantially conform to the preliminary plat as approved, the final plat shall be forwarded to the Board for review. If the plat is found not to conform to the preliminary plat, it shall be corrected or referred to the Planning Commission for further review, prior to review by the Board. If the Board is referred to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission shall then review the plat and shall forward a written recommendation to the Board within forty-five (45) days of the filing of the plat with the Plats Officer. If the recommendation is to disapprove the plat, or to require modification of the plat, the reasons therefore shall be set forth in writing, and a copy of the recommendation shall be provided to the subdivider.”
Chapter 2, Section 64.1 (d) “Upon receipt of the plat and written reports, the Board shall review the plat and attachments. If the plat is found to conform to the ordinances, statutes and standards of the County and the Comprehensive Plan and other duly adopted plans, all as of the date of approval of the Preliminary Plat; and is found to substantially conform to the preliminary plat, the Board shall approve the plat and shall cause its approval to be entered on the plat.”
Chapter 2, Section 64.1 (e) “Action of the final plat, by the Board, shall be taken within sixty (60) days of the date of filing of the plat with the Zoning Administrator, unless such time period is extended by agreement between the subdivider and the County. However, such time limitation is notwithstanding, if any portion of the land to be subdivided lies within the City's area of review as described in the City Ordinance adopted under Chapter 354 of the Code of Iowa. The Board shall defer final action on the plat until action has been taken by the City. If the action is to disapprove the plat, the reasons therefore shall be set forth in the official records of the Board and such decisions shall be provided to the subdivider.”
Staff Comment: The Final Plat of Weber Dubuque Farm No. 2 conforms with the Subdivision and Platting Ordinance, as addressed previously. With respect to the Dubuque County Zoning Ordinance, the new lots all conform to the minimum lot areas and frontage widths for their respective zoning districts.
Considering objectives within the Dubuque County Regional Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 8 “Housing” addresses the need for housing opportunities in the rural areas where appropriate. Lot 1 is zoned A-2 Agricultural Residential, which will provide an additional housing opportunity. Lot 2 is zoned A-1 Agricultural, and preserves about 90 acres of farm ground, and can’t be subdivided again unless a portion is zoned for Residential use. Preserving this farm ground meets the County’s goal to preserve and protect as much farm ground as possible (Chapter 9, Agriculture and Natural Resources).
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED
Dubuque County Planning and Zoning Department has provided input regarding this minor subdivision plat, and the plat conforms to the relevant County Ordinances and Comprehensive Plan. Applicants request motion to approve the Final Plat of Weber Dubuque Farm No. 2. Zoning Department staff recommends approval of the plat.

TO: Dubuque County Board of Supervisors

DATE: November 2nd, 2026
RE: Plat of Survey of Genesis Subdivision Plat 2 – Final Plat
BACKGROUND
Plat of Survey of Lot 1 and Lot 2 of Genesis Subdivision Plat 2 comprised of Lot 1 of Genesis Subdivision, Section 12, T88N, R1E, Vernon Township and Section 7, T88N, R2E, Table Mound Township, all in Dubuque County, Iowa.
The property is owned by Genesis Two Holdings LLC & Genesis Three Holdings LLC and is located under a mile from and to the south of the City of Dubuque along North Cascade Road with a total of 15.413 acres surveyed.

MINOR SUBDIVISION REVIEW
2-31 Classification of Subdivisions
2-31.3 Minor Subdivision. Any subdivision in which no new streets, or other rights-of-way, public or private, are proposed and which does not require the construction of any public improvements and which does not qualify as a simple division, shall be classified as a minor subdivision.

Genesis Subdivision Plat 2
11/2/26
Page 2 of 3
Staff Comment: Genesis Subdivision Plat 2 qualifies as a minor subdivision because previous plats of survey created the parcels to be subdivided on the proposed Final Plat.
Chapter 2, Section 64.1 (c) “If the plat is found to substantially conform to the preliminary plat as approved, the final plat shall be forwarded to the Board for review. If the plat is found not to conform to the preliminary plat, it shall be corrected or referred to the Planning Commission for further review, prior to review by the Board. If the Board is referred to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission shall then review the plat and shall forward a written recommendation to the Board within forty-five (45) days of the filing of the plat with the Plats Officer. If the recommendation is to disapprove the plat, or to require modification of the plat, the reasons therefore shall be set forth in writing, and a copy of the recommendation shall be provided to the subdivider.”
Chapter 2, Section 64.1 (d) “Upon receipt of the plat and written reports, the Board shall review the plat and attachments. If the plat is found to conform to the ordinances, statutes and standards of the County and the Comprehensive Plan and other duly adopted plans, all as of the date of approval of the Preliminary Plat; and is found to substantially conform to the preliminary plat, the Board shall approve the plat and shall cause its approval to be entered on the plat.”
Chapter 2, Section 64.1 (e) “Action of the final plat, by the Board, shall be taken within sixty (60) days of the date of filing of the plat with the Zoning Administrator, unless such time period is extended by agreement between the subdivider and the County. However, such time limitation is notwithstanding, if any portion of the land to be subdivided lies within the City's area of review as described in the City Ordinance adopted under Chapter 354 of the Code of Iowa. The Board shall defer final action on the plat until action has been taken by the City. If the action is to disapprove the plat, the reasons therefore shall be set forth in the official records of the Board and such decisions shall be provided to the subdivider.”
Staff Comment: Genesis Subdivision Plat 2 conforms with the Subdivision and Platting Ordinance, as addressed previously. Lot 1 and Lot 2 have clear access from North Cascade Road identified on the plat.
With respect to the Dubuque County Zoning Ordinance, the new lots all conform to the minimum lot areas for their respective zoning districts.
With respect to the Dubuque County Regional Comprehensive Plan, there is no rezoning connected to this Minor Subdivision. Chapter 7 “Economic Development” outlines the following objective:
To provide an adequate supply of vacant, development-ready land for commercial and industrial use.
Protect development potential of commercial and industrial sites
The Final Plat of Genesis Subdivision Plat 2 is creating a separate lot for the truck stop operation so that it may be sold to a different party. Lot 2 separates two existing businesses from Lot 1.

Memorandum
10/28/2026
RE: Property Tax Abatement
To: Board of Supervisors
In accordance with Iowa Code Section 445.63, I am requesting the abatement of delinquent property taxes for several parcels currently owned by municipalities or other political subdivisions.
The enclosed list identifies parcels with either delinquent taxes or active tax balances still showing in the system. Notice of the delinquency was previously provided to the appropriate governing bodies through either standard property tax statements or delinquency notices, fulfilling the statutory requirement for notification under this Code section.
Abating these amounts will:
Eliminate uncollectible delinquencies on government-owned parcels.
Prevent unnecessary future delinquency notices, and
Ensure that no future taxes are assessed while the parcels remain in public ownership.
Please let me know if any further information is needed to proceed.
Sincerely,
Michael Clasen

FLOOD AND EROSION CONTROL, §161E.14
161E.14 Allocation.
Sixty-five percent of any such payments or payment received from the federal government shall be distributed to the general fund of the school districts of the county after the county auditor has determined the districts which are principally affected by the federal flood control project involved in an amount deemed to be the equitable share of each such district and the amount allocated to each school district shall be paid over to the treasurer of such school district.
The county auditor shall certify to the executive council of the state the amounts allocated to each school district in the previous year, on January 2 of each year. The remaining ten percent of a payment received by the county treasurer from the federal government, or as much thereof as is deemed necessary by the board of supervisors, shall be allocated to the local fire departments of the unincorporated villages, townships, and cities of the county which are principally affected by the federal flood control project involved, to be paid and prorated among them as determined by the board of supervisors. If the funds prorated to local fire departments in a county are less than ten percent of the total county share of such federal payments for a year, the amount which exceeds the prorations shall revert back to and be divided equally between the secondary road fund and the local school district fund.

CITY OF PEOSTA, IOWA
URBAN RENEWAL PLAN AMENDMENT
PEOSTA URBAN RENEWAL AREA
November, 2026
The Urban Renewal Plan (the “Plan”) for the Peosta Urban Renewal Area (the “Urban Renewal Area”) is being amended for the purpose of identifying new urban renewal projects to be undertaken therein.
Identification of Projects. By virtue of this amendment, the list of authorized urban renewal projects in the Plan is hereby amended to include the following projects:
A.
Name of Project: Industrial Park Infrastructure Project
Date of Council Approval of Project: November 10, 2026
Description of Project: The Commercial/Industrial Infrastructure Project (the "Project") will consist of the installation of public infrastructure improvements, including street, municipal sanitary sewer system, and waterworks system improvements, on and along Kapp Drive, beginning at and including its intersection with Peosta Street on the east and continuing west through the industrial park in the Urban Renewal Area necessary for future commercial and/or industrial development thereon.
It is expected that the completed Project will cause increased and improved ability of the City to provide adequate transportation and public infrastructure for the growth and retention of commercial and industrial enterprises in the Urban Renewal Area.
Description of Properties to be Acquired in Connection with the Project: The City will acquire such easement territory and right-of-way as are necessary to successfully undertake the Project.
Description of Use of TIF: It is anticipated that the City will pay for the Project with either borrowed funds and/or the proceeds of an internal advance of City funds on hand. In any case, the City's obligations (the "Obligations") will be repaid with incremental property tax revenues derived from the Urban Renewal Area. It is anticipated that the City's use of incremental property tax revenues for the Project will not exceed $8,000,000, plus any interest expense incurred by the City on the Obligations.

Name of Project: Well House/Public Works Building Project
Date of Council Approval of Project: November 10, 2026
Description of Project and Project Site: The City will undertake the construction, furnishing, and equipping of a new well house/public works building (the “Public Works Building Project”) on certain real property (the “Public Works Building Property”) owned by the City and situated on certain real property bearing Dubuque County Property Tax Parcel Identification Number 1415326002. The completed Public Works Building Project will have a direct, positive impact on increased and improved commerce and development in the Urban Renewal Area through the provision of enhanced public works facilities.
Description of Use of TIF: It is anticipated that the City will pay for the Public Works Building Project with borrowed funds and/or the proceeds of internal advances of City funds on hand. In any case, a portion of the City's obligations (the "Obligations") may be repaid with incremental property tax revenues derived from the Urban Renewal Area. It is anticipated that the City's use of incremental property tax revenues for the Public Works Building Project will not exceed $5,000,000, plus any interest expense incurred on the Obligations.
Analysis of Use of TIF: In accordance with the requirement of Section 403.5(2)(b)(1) of the Code of Iowa, the City has analyzed its proposed use of incremental property tax revenues for the funding of the Public Works Building Project and alternative development and funding options for the Public Works Building Project. The results of that analysis are summarized as follows:
Alternate Development Options: The City Council has determined that a need exists for the provision of new and improved public works facilities in the Urban Renewal Area. The City's ability to fulfill its role in the maintenance of public infrastructure, city parks and public property is diminished by inadequate, outdated and undersized facilities. There is no conceivable way for the City to outsource or privatize services provided by the public works department, and the use of the Public Works Building Property as the site for the Public Works Building Project is an optimal use for this land because it is owned by the City. Promoting other types of development on the Public Works Building Property will not meet the public need being addressed by the Public Works Building Project.
Alternate Financing Options:
Local Option Sales and Services Tax Revenues: Local Option Sales and Services Tax Revenues are unavailable to assist with the Public Works Building Project because such Revenues have been allocated to other projects in the City.
General Fund: The City's General Fund reserves are fully committed to
2

maintain the operational integrity of the City. The City cannot access its General Fund reserves to aid in funding the Public Works Building Project without risking unsound fiscal practice.
Capital Improvements Levy: The City does not have a Capital Improvements Levy available, and the imposition of such additional levy would require a successful referendum, which is not feasible at this time.
Debt Service Levy: The City may issue general obligation bonds (the “Bonds”) to finance a portion of the Public Works Building Project. The use of tax increment financing to pay a portion of the debt service payments on the Bonds will lessen the burden on individual taxpayers that would result from a spike in the debt service levy rate and will shift that burden onto valuation increases resulting from the City’s successful economic development initiatives in the Urban Renewal Area.
Waterworks Utility to aid in paying a portion of the cost of the Public Works Building Project.
* Utility Surpluses: The City will use surplus funds from the Municipal Waterworks Utility to aid in paying a portion of the cost of the Public Works Building Project.
Grants: The City will pay for a portion of the costs of the Public Works Building Project with the proceeds of a $1,500,000 community project funding grant secured by U.S. Representative Ashley Hinson.
C.
Name of Project: 2027-2029 Peosta Business and Community Alliance Support Program
Date of Council Approval of Project: November 10, 2026
Declaration of Support Program as an Urban Renewal Project: The City Council acknowledges the importance of Peosta Business and Community Alliance (the “Alliance”) in the ongoing promotion of economic development in the Urban Renewal Area. The City intends to provide economic development support payments to the Alliance for a period of three (3) fiscal years. In return for said support payments, the Alliance will commit to continuing its efforts to carry out economic development support programs, promotional events, initiatives and activities within the Urban Renewal Area.
Description of Use of TIF for the Support Program: It is anticipated that the City will pay for the Peosta Business and Community Alliance Support Program with a combination of proceeds of internal advances of City funds on-hand and/or through an economic development agreement with negotiated annual appropriation payments. In any case, the City's obligations will be repaid with incremental property tax revenues derived from the Urban Renewal Area. The amount of incremental property tax revenues to be expended by the City in connection with the Peosta Business and Community Alliance Support Program will not exceed $50,000 over the course of the City's 2027

through 2029 fiscal years, and the City's annual contributions will be determined from year to year.
D.
Name of Project: Medical Clinic Development Project
Date of Council Approval of the Project: November 10, 2026
Description of the Project and Project Site: Burds Family Practice PLLC (“Burds”) has proposed to undertake the construction of a new building (the “Clinic Project”) on certain real property (the “Clinic Property”) bearing Dubuque County Property Tax Parcel Identification Number 1410454003 in the Urban Renewal Area for use in the business operations of a medical clinic.
It has been requested that the City provide tax increment financing assistance to Burds in support of the efforts to complete the Clinic Project.
The costs incurred by the City in providing tax increment financing assistance to Burds will include legal and administrative fees (the “Admin Fees”) in an amount not to exceed $8,000.
Description of Use of TIF for the Project: The City intends to enter into a development agreement (the “Agreement”) with Burds with respect to the Clinic Project and to provide annual appropriation economic development payments (the “Payments”) to Burds thereunder. The Payments will be funded with incremental property tax revenues to be derived from the Clinic Property. It is anticipated that the City’s total commitment of incremental property tax revenues with respect to the Clinic Project will not exceed $200,000, plus the Admin Fees.

RE: Consultation with Affected Taxing Bodies for the Proposed Thunder Valley Housing Urban Renewal Area Plan – Version 2026.1
Dear Harley:
The City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa has directed the preparation of the enclosed Urban Renewal Plan for the proposed Thunder Valley Housing Urban Renewal Area. In accordance with the requirements set forth in Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code, Urban Renewal Law, affected taxing entities shall be mailed the proposed plan, along with notification of a consultation to be held between the municipality and the affected taxing entities, prior to a public hearing on the plan. That public hearing has been set for November 16, 2026 in the City Council Chambers at the Historic Federal Building at 6:30 p.m. A copy of the proposed Urban Renewal Plan is attached. The Public Notice of the City Council hearing is also attached.
The proposed Plan, if approved, would create a new housing urban renewal area overtop an existing urban revitalization area on Radford Road. Iowa law requires urban revitalization areas utilizing a different tax exemption schedule than those outlined in 404.3(1, 2, 3, or 4) be designated as both an urban revitalization area and an urban renewal area. The Plan does not include the use of tax increment financing at this time. The Plan provides project details and the area to be included.
The consultation process affords the taxing bodies an opportunity to question the City about the plans. Each taxing body may appoint a representative to attend the consultation. The designated representative of the affected taxing entity may make written recommendations for modification to the division of revenue presented in the plan no later than seven days following the date of the consultation.

A. INTRODUCTION
This Urban Renewal Plan for the Thunder Valley Housing Urban Renewal Area ("Plan" or "Urban Renewal Plan") has been developed to help local officials promote economic development in the City of Dubuque ("City"). The primary goal of the Plan is to stimulate, through public involvement and commitment, private investment in new housing and residential development as defined by the Iowa Code Section 403.17(12).
In order to achieve this objective, the City intends to undertake urban renewal activities pursuant to the powers granted to it under Chapter 403 and Chapter 15A of the Code of Iowa, as amended.
B. DESCRIPTION OF THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA
The Thunder Valley Housing Urban Renewal Area ("Area" or "Urban Renewal Area") is illustrated in Attachments A, B-1, and B-2 and described in Attachment D.
The City reserves the right to modify the boundaries of the Area at some future date.
C. AREA DESIGNATION
With the adoption of this Plan, the City of Dubuque designates this Urban Renewal Area as an economic development area that is appropriate for the provision of public improvements related to housing and residential development.
D. BASE VALUE
If the Thunder Valley Housing Urban Renewal Area is legally established and debt is certified prior to December 1, 2027, the taxable valuation within the Urban Renewal Area as of January 1, 2026, will be considered the “base valuation.” If debt is not certified until a later date, the “base value” will be the assessed value of the taxable property in the Urban Renewal Area as of January 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the City first certifies the amount of any debt.

RE: Consultation with Affected Taxing Bodies for the Proposed Eastgate Court Housing Urban Renewal Area Plan – Version 2026.1
Dear Harley:
The City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa has directed the preparation of the enclosed Urban Renewal Plan for the proposed Eastgate Court Housing Urban Renewal Area. In accordance with the requirements set forth in Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code, Urban Renewal Law, affected taxing entities shall be mailed the proposed plan, along with notification of a consultation to be held between the municipality and the affected taxing entities, prior to a public hearing on the plan. That public hearing has been set for November 16, 2026 in the City Council Chambers at the Historic Federal Building at 6:30 p.m. A copy of the proposed Urban Renewal Plan is attached. The Public Notice of the City Council hearing is also attached.
The proposed Plan, if approved, would create a new housing urban renewal area overtop an existing urban revitalization area on Eastgate Court. Iowa law requires urban revitalization areas utilizing a different tax exemption schedule than those outlined in 404.3(1, 2, 3, or 4) be designated as both an urban revitalization area and an urban renewal area. The Plan does not include the use of tax increment financing at this time. The Plan provides project details and the area to be included.
The consultation process affords the taxing bodies an opportunity to question the City about the plans. Each taxing body may appoint a representative to attend the consultation. The designated representative of the affected taxing entity may make written recommendations for modification to the division of revenue presented in the plan no later than seven days following the date of the consultation.

RE: Consultation with Affected Taxing Bodies for the Proposed Lake Ridge Apartments Housing Urban Renewal Area Plan – Version 2026.1
Dear Harley:
The City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa has directed the preparation of the enclosed Urban Renewal Plan for the proposed Lake Ridge Apartments Housing Urban Renewal Area. In accordance with the requirements set forth in Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code, Urban Renewal Law, affected taxing entities shall be mailed the proposed plan, along with notification of a consultation to be held between the municipality and the affected taxing entities, prior to a public hearing on the plan. That public hearing has been set for November 16, 2026 in the City Council Chambers at the Historic Federal Building at 6:30 p.m. A copy of the proposed Urban Renewal Plan is attached. The Public Notice of the City Council hearing is also attached.
The proposed Plan, if approved, would create a new housing urban renewal area overtop an existing urban revitalization area on Lake Ridge Drive. Iowa law requires urban revitalization areas utilizing a different tax exemption schedule than those outlined in 404.3(1, 2, 3, or 4) be designated as both an urban revitalization area and an urban renewal area. The Plan does not include the use of tax increment financing at this time. The Plan provides project details and the area to be included.
The consultation process affords the taxing bodies an opportunity to question the City about the plans. Each taxing body may appoint a representative to attend the consultation. The designated representative of the affected taxing entity may make written recommendations for modification to the division of revenue presented in the plan no later than seven days following the date of the consultation.

RE: Consultation with Affected Taxing Bodies for the Proposed Plaza Drive Housing Urban Renewal Area Plan – Version 2026.1
Dear Harley:
The City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa has directed the preparation of the enclosed Urban Renewal Plan for the proposed Plaza Drive Housing Urban Renewal Area. In accordance with the requirements set forth in Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code, Urban Renewal Law, affected taxing entities shall be mailed the proposed plan, along with notification of a consultation to be held between the municipality and the affected taxing entities, prior to a public hearing on the plan. That public hearing has been set for November 16, 2026 in the City Council Chambers at the Historic Federal Building at 6:30 p.m. A copy of the proposed Urban Renewal Plan is attached. The Public Notice of the City Council hearing is also attached.
The proposed Plan, if approved, would create a new housing urban renewal area overtop an existing urban revitalization area on Plaza Drive. Iowa law requires urban revitalization areas utilizing a different tax exemption schedule than those outlined in 404.3(1, 2, 3, or 4) be designated as both an urban revitalization area and an urban renewal area. The Plan does not include the use of tax increment financing at this time. The Plan provides project details and the area to be included.
The consultation process affords the taxing bodies an opportunity to question the City about the plans. Each taxing body may appoint a representative to attend the consultation. The designated representative of the affected taxing entity may make written recommendations for modification to the division of revenue presented in the plan no later than seven days following the date of the consultation.

RE: Consultation with Affected Taxing Bodies for the Proposed Bies Drive Housing Urban Renewal Area Plan – Version 2026.1
Dear Harley:
The City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa has directed the preparation of the enclosed Urban Renewal Plan for the proposed Bies Drive Housing Urban Renewal Area. In accordance with the requirements set forth in Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code, Urban Renewal Law, affected taxing entities shall be mailed the proposed plan, along with notification of a consultation to be held between the municipality and the affected taxing entities, prior to a public hearing on the plan. That public hearing has been set for November 16, 2026 in the City Council Chambers at the Historic Federal Building at 6:30 p.m. A copy of the proposed Urban Renewal Plan is attached. The Public Notice of the City Council hearing is also attached.
The proposed Plan, if approved, would create a new housing urban renewal area overtop an existing urban revitalization area on Bies Drive. Iowa law requires urban revitalization areas utilizing a different tax exemption schedule than those outlined in 404.3(1, 2, 3, or 4) be designated as both an urban revitalization area and an urban renewal area. The Plan does not include the use of tax increment financing at this time. The Plan provides project details and the area to be included.
The consultation process affords the taxing bodies an opportunity to question the City about the plans. Each taxing body may appoint a representative to attend the consultation. The designated representative of the affected taxing entity may make written recommendations for modification to the division of revenue presented in the plan no later than seven days following the date of the consultation.

5.4 Certificate of Completion. Upon completion of all items on the final punch list, County Engineer shall issue a Certificate of Completion to Developer certifying the date on which all final punch list items were completed.
5.5 Continuing Obligations of Developer.
Notwithstanding the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, and acknowledging that certain damage to the Designated Roads caused by the Project may not be discovered or manifest itself until after completion of the Project's construction activities, Developer hereby agrees that for a period of six (6) months from and after the date of the Certificate of Completion, it shall be responsible to repair any damage to the Designated Roads or associated facilities identified in Section 3.1 caused by Developer Parties' construction activities prior to issuance of the Certificate of Completion; provided that ordinary course road deterioration shall not be deemed to be caused by Developer Parties' construction. In the event during such period County Engineer identifies damage to any Designated Roads that he believes is a result of Developer Parties' construction activities, County shall notify Developer of such damage. If Developer acknowledges that the damage was the result of Developer Parties' construction of the Project, it shall remedy the same pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. If the Parties cannot agree on the extent of the damage, a "Post-Construction Evaluation" shall be completed to the same scope of the Initial Evaluation described in Section 1.3 to compare the preconstruction and post-construction road conditions (excluding ordinary course road deterioration that would be expected to have occurred absent construction of the Project). The Post-Construction Evaluation will consist of the same testing and studies provided in the Initial Evaluation, only at the conclusion of the Project. If the Parties cannot agree on the extent of the damage after review of the Post-Construction Evaluation, Developer shall retain, at its own expense, a qualified independent engineer acceptable to both Parties to make a determination of whether the damage was a result of Developer Parties' construction of the Project and the scope of repair necessary to remedy the same. The determination of the independent engineer shall be conclusive and binding on both Parties.
In order to secure its obligations under this Agreement, Developer agrees to provide County with any of the following forms of security selected by Developer: a cash security deposit, a guarantee, a security bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or other form of security reasonably acceptable to County. Such security for payment shall be in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). The proposed form shall be provided promptly following the execution of this Agreement and shall be in effect (30) days prior to the notice set forth in Section 2.1. Six (6) months following the date of the Project's Certification of Completion, County will return the foregoing security to Developer.
Developer shall also be responsible for reimbursing County for repairs to the County roadways caused by Developer Parties arising from the operation, maintenance, or repair of the Project from and after the date of the Certificate of Completion. This obligation shall be ongoing for so long as the Project remains in operation.
