RE: Plat of Survey of Sherrill Place No. 4 – Final Plat
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
