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 12 Download HTML

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.

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 Y-Camp Place No. 4. Zoning Department staff recommends approval.

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 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.

Page 32 Download HTML

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.”

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 Sherrill Place No. 4. Zoning Department staff recommends approval.

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.

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 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. The property is zoned B-2, Highway Business and M-1, Industrial. Lot 1 of Genesis Subdivision Plat 2 will be sold to another party. Lot 2 will remain with Genesis Two Holdings.

The plat creates two lots. Lot 1 has a total of 5.840 acres surveyed with an Auto Truck Stop, a scale, and an accessory building. Lot 2 has a total of 9.573 acres surveyed with a Waste Disposal operation and warehouse and distribution facility, and wastewater lagoon.

Lot 1 has access off North Cascade Road via an existing driveway, along with a 66' wide access easement for a future street. Lot 2 will use two existing driveways off North Cascade Road; one for the warehouse and one for the waste disposal operation.

On April 21st, 2026, the Dubuque County Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Final Plat of Genesis Subdivision Plat 2 by a vote of 6-0.

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.

Page 58 Download HTML

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

Dubuque County Treasurer

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce Supports Dubuque County Conservation Bond Referendum

October 29, 2026 — DUBUQUE, Iowa — The Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors announces its support for the upcoming Dubuque County Conservation Bond referendum. This vital initiative represents a forward-thinking investment in our region's parks, trails, outdoor recreation spaces, and natural resources, directly securing Dubuque County's long-term prosperity, economic vitality, and exceptional quality of life.

Quality of Life and Environmental Health as Economic Imperatives

In today's competitive landscape, economic development, community well-being, and natural resource stewardship are inextricably linked. For our local business community, robust workforce attraction and retention hinge on our region's ability to offer a vibrant, active, and engaging lifestyle paired with a healthy, sustainable environment. Employers across Dubuque County rely on world-class amenities to draw top-tier talent who are choosing not just a career, but a place to build a future and raise families.

Expanding Accessible Parks, Trails and Outdoor Recreation

Accessible parks expanded trail networks, and premier outdoor recreation assets directly enhance our region's appeal. By investing in our natural infrastructure, we create a thriving, dynamic environment where modern professionals and families demand—reinforcing the incredible career opportunities offered by our local businesses with an unmatched living experience.

Safeguarding Water Quality and Natural Infrastructure

Protecting our local watersheds, streams, and natural green spaces is fundamental to the health and resilience of Dubuque County. Investments funded by the conservation bond will help safeguard local water quality, prevent runoff, and preserve vital natural infrastructure. Clean water and protected waterways are not only essential for public health and recreational enjoyment, but they also form the bedrock of sustainable economic growth, agricultural strength, and long-term community value.

A Strategic Investment Backed by Business Leadership

Following the recommendation from its Business Advocacy Council, the Chamber’s official support underscores that conservation is a cornerstone of economic strength. World-class parks, outdoor recreation, and natural infrastructure are not merely lifestyle perks; they are essential economic drivers that generate tourism, support local commerce, encourage talent recruitment and retention thus making Dubuque County a premier destination to live, work, and grow a business.

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

Page 99 Download HTML

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

3

Page 100 Download HTML

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.

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.

With respect to the property included within the Thunder Valley Housing Urban Renewal Plan Area, the use of incremental property tax revenues or the “division of revenue,” as those words are used in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa, is limited to ten (10) years beginning with the second fiscal year following the year in which the City first certifies to the County Auditor the amount of any loans, advances, indebtedness, or bonds which qualify for payment from the incremental property tax revenues attributable to that property within the Thunder Valley Housing Urban Renewal Area. With consent of all other affected taxing bodies (by written agreement), the use of incremental property tax revenues under Iowa Code Section 403.19 can be extended for up to 5 years if necessary to adequately fund the housing project.

At all times, the use of tax increment financing revenues (including the amount of loans, advances, indebtedness or bonds which qualify for payment from the division of revenue provided in Section 403.19 of the Code of Iowa) by the City for activities carried out under the Thunder Valley Housing Urban Renewal Plan shall be limited as deemed appropriate by the City Council and consistent with all applicable provisions of law.

Harley Pothoff, Chairperson Dubuque County Board of Supervisors Dubuque County Courthouse, 720 Central Avenue Dubuque, Iowa 52001

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.

Harley Pothoff, Chairperson Dubuque County Board of Supervisors Dubuque County Courthouse, 720 Central Avenue Dubuque, Iowa 52001

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.

Harley Pothoff, Chairperson Dubuque County Board of Supervisors Dubuque County Courthouse, 720 Central Avenue Dubuque, Iowa 52001

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.

Harley Pothoff, Chairperson Dubuque County Board of Supervisors Dubuque County Courthouse, 720 Central Avenue Dubuque, Iowa 52001

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.

RE: Lovers Lane and Spechts Ferry Road

Dear Mr. Manternach:

In your letter of August 15, 2007, you wanted to know the criteria for determining a county road. You also wanted to know how that criteria applied to support the county's ownership of two roads, called Lovers Lane and Spechts Ferry Road.

There are a number of ways by which a county road is established. The Iowa law on the establishment of county roads is located in caselaw dated back to the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.

These cases clearly establish roads and highways may come into existence by statute, dedication, and by prescription. See Dugan v. Zurmuehlen, 203 Iowa 1114, 211 N.W. 986 (1927); Murrane v. Clarke County, 440 N.W.2d 613, 615 (Iowa App. 1989). In formal dedication, a property owner formally dedicates property to the county under a particular method provided by statute. In outright acquisition, the county acquires property by purchase or condemnation.

Easement by prescription is created by "adverse possession, under claim of right or color of title, openly, notoriously, continuously, and hostilely asserted against defendants for ten years or more." Simonsen v. Todd, 261 Iowa 485, 489, 154 N.W.2d 730, 732 (1967) (quoting Webb v. Arterburn, 246 Iowa 363, 67 N.W.2d 504, 513 (1954); see also Iowa Code § 564.1 (1987). For the most part, before prescription will be found, the court must find these elements have been strictly adhered to. Id at 495, 154 N.W.2d at 736 However, an

easement by prescription may be established "where original entry upon lands of another is under oral agreement or express consent of servient owner and party claiming easement expends substantial money or labor to promote the claimed use in reliance upon consent or as a consideration for the agreement." Id. Murrane v. Clarke County, 440 N.W.2d 613, 615 (Iowa App.,1989).

In the case of the roads in question, it appears that both were dedicated before the turn of the twentieth century. A review of the records of the secondary roads department shows that Spechts Ferry Road may have been dedicated in the 1850's and resurveyed in 1864. The road called Lovers Lane was a road formerly designed at “Road Number 8” and was dedicated and ordered to be resurveyed by the Board of Supervisors in 1844 and 1860.

Neither road now exists exactly in the original dedicated location. However, it also appears that the county has performed maintenance work on these roads, and has behaved as if the roads were county roads, for at least ten years. It appears that the county's situation is similar to that of Clarke County in Murrane v. Clarke County, supra. In that case, property owner brought an action to establish the proper location of a road, and to require the county to either move the road or compensate him in the taking of his land. Ultimately the Iowa Supreme Court rejected the landowner's claim. The Court determined that the road was located by mistake and was not located in its original dedicated location in 1884. The Court also found that there was a prescriptive easement where the county had a clear agreement between it and the servient property owner and the county spent substantial sums of money on upgrading the road throughout its existence for over one hundred years.

If the county wants to establish that it owns the roads in the form of a prescriptive easement, the county must submit evidence that it has openly and hostilely owned the easement, has spend sums toward their maintenance, that it conveyed this ownership to the landowners in question, for a period of at least ten years. In this regard the county's most recent success in Simon v. Dubuque County Board of Supervisors, 2007 WL 2376736 is instructive, as to what evidence the court considers where the county wants to establish it owns a road

SACKETT, C.J.

*1 Plaintiffs brought this action seeking to quiet title to a road that passes through their property. The defendants, Dubuque County and other residents living along the road, contend the road is owned by the county. The district court held the county had acquired a prescriptive easement to use the road. It found the easement spanned the roadway surface width of twenty-two feet and an additional five feet on each side of the roadway. The court held the county's prescriptive easement right includes the right to maintain the easement. The plaintiffs appeal each of these findings. We affirm as modified.

BACKGROUND. The road at issue traverses approximately two miles through a rural area of Dubuque County and provides ingress and egress to residents who live along the road. It was most likely constructed in the late 1800s. The public has used the road from the 1930s to present. The road was originally known as Simon Road. In the 1990s, the county named the road "Dry Hollow Road" as it was establishing its 911 emergency dispatch system. At that time, the county posted a sign at the road identifying it as "Dry Hollow Road."

The road passes through several parcels of property and varies in width. At its northwest intersection with Heisler Road, it passes through plaintiffs', Leo and Deann Simons' property. To the south and east, the road travels through parcels owned by defendants, Margaret Lehmann, Charles and Irene McDermott, and Peter and Laurie Simon. These defendants contend that the county owns the road and has historically provided maintenance such as laying gravel, blading, snow removal, and mowing along the road. In June of 1998, the defendants petitioned the county to classify a portion of the road as Class C. This classification allows the county to gate off the road, restrict public access, and provide minimal maintenance. The residents sought this classification out of concern that people were

damaging the roadway by driving "mudders" through the area and illegally dumping material along Dry Hollow Road. In response to the petition, the county classified most of the road through the McDermott and Peter and Laurie Simon properties as Class C. However, the county continued to provide gravel and standard maintenance to the rest of Dry Hollow Road, including the portion that crosses plaintiffs' property.

Plaintiffs acquired their property in September of 1998 with knowledge of the roadway and the public's use of Dry Hollow Road. Between 1999 and 2002, Leo Simon sought four right-of-way permits from the county to do work that would affect or disturb the roadway, such as digging a waterline or shaping ditches and culverts. Each permit was granted. In 2004, a land survey revealed that the actual path of Dry Hollow Road varies from its platted route and therefore, the county does not own the property containing the roadway. At some point after the survey, plaintiffs laid sod to narrow the road, began demanding the county cease maintenance of the road, and filed suit to establish their fee simple ownership of the road free of any easements or claims of right by defendants. The county and neighboring resident defendants contend that even if the county does not own the property, the road remains a public road because the county acquired a prescriptive easement to use the road. The district court held the county had acquired a prescriptive easement to twenty-two feet of the graveled roadway surface and five feet on each side of the road. The court concluded that rights to this easement included the county's right to perform regular maintenance on the roadway. The plaintiffs appeal the findings. We affirm as modified.

*2 SCOPE OF REVIEW. Actions to quiet title are equitable proceedings. Iowa Code § 649.6 (2005). Our scope of review of actions in equity is de novo. Iowa R.App. P. 6.4. We examine the law and facts anew although we give weight to the trial court's fact findings and deference to their credibility assessments. Johnson v. Kaster, 637 N.W.2d 174, 177-78 (Iowa 2001); Iowa R.App. P. 6.14(6)(g). We are not bound by the trial court's factual determinations on our de novo review. Id.

PRESCRIPTIVE EASEMENT. The plaintiff-appellants claim the district court erred in finding the county acquired an easement to use the road as a public thoroughfare through prescription. An easement by prescription is established "when a person uses another's land under a claim of right or color of title, openly, notoriously, continuously, and hostilely for ten years or more." Collins Trust v. Allamakee County Bd. of Supervisors, 599 N.W.2d 460, 463 (Iowa 1999). The fact the party used the land for the statutory period is not sufficient proof they had the requisite claim of right or color of title purpose behind their use. Iowa Code § 564.1; Collins Trust, 599 N.W.2d at 464 ("mere use of land does not, by lapse of time, ripen into an easement"). A party must provide independent evidence to establish his or her use was under a claim of right. Iowa Code § 564.1.

Proof that a party used the land under a claim of right also tends to prove the hostility element. Collins Trust, 599 N.W.2d at 464. "Hostility of possession does not imply ill will, but only an assertion of ownership by declarations or acts showing a claim of exclusive right to the land." Johnson, 637 N.W.2d at 178. Thus, "[a]lthough mere use does not constitute hostility or claim of right, some specific acts or conduct associated with the use will give rise to a claim of right." Collins Trust, 599 N.W.2d at 464. Acts of maintaining and improving the land may prove the claim of right and hostile elements. Id.

The open and notorious elements required to establish a prescriptive easement are designed to give the true owner notice that the claimant's use is adverse rather than permissive. Id. at 465. Iowa law requires express notice to the owner. Iowa Code § 564.1. Express notice is proved by evidence showing the claimant gave actual notice of the adverse use to the owner or by "known facts of such [a] nature as to impose a duty to make inquiry which would reveal [the] existence of an easement." Brede v. Koop, 706 N.W.2d 824, 828 (Iowa 2005). Buyers of property are expected to inspect for easements prior to purchase. "The law imputes to a purchaser such knowledge as he would have acquired by the exercise of ordinary diligence. Thus, where the easement is open and visible, the purchaser of the servient tenement will be charged with notice." Johnson, 637 N.W.2d at 180.

In applying these principles to the facts, we find the district court did not err in finding the county acquired a prescriptive easement to Dry Hollow Road. Dubuque County has maintained and the public has used the road for decades under claim of right and color of title. Residents along the road,

Page 3 of 4

familiar with the area for forty-five years, testified they have always believed the road was a public right-of-way. Residents made complaints regarding obstructions or disturbances on the road directly to the county. In the 1990s, the county officially named the road "Dry Hollow Road" and posted a street name sign at the road's northwest corner. The county has also posted a stop sign, speed limit warning, and dead end notice on the roadway in dispute. Some of the signs were posted over twenty-five years ago. Past the disputed section of Dry Hollow Road appear other warning signs and gates posted by the county. The posting of public traffic signs are specific acts directed to warn road users that the county controls the right-of-way. The county's conduct goes beyond mere use of the roadway. Decades of maintaining the surface, renaming the roadway, and responding to plaintiffs' and other area residents' complaints about the road's condition or hazardous drivers, prove the county's use was under claim of right and hostile to any private ownership claims to Dry Hollow Road.

*3 The plaintiffs were also provided actual notice of the county's adverse use. The plaintiffs appear to be closely acquainted with the area since family members have owned land along the road since the sixties. The plaintiffs had been on the road prior to buying the property, saw the signs, and understood that the county maintained the road. Indeed, the plaintiffs acknowledged the county's right to the roadway was superior. On four occasions since the plaintiffs purchased the property in 1998, plaintiff Leo Simon has sought permission from the county to do work on or near Dry Hollow Road. Each permit was granted. In one letter accompanying the permit, the county engineer warned the plaintiff to, "please remember that no matter what work you do in the right-of-way, you need to get a permit from our office."

The Iowa Supreme Court has previously found that an owner is charged with notice that the public has a claim of ownership when the owner knows that public expenditures are being used to repair or maintain a road. Collins Trust, 599 N.W.2d 406, 465. This is because it is generally known that public bodies do not have authority to use public funds toward private property. Id. The county's use of Dry Hollow Road has been under claim of right, hostile, open, notorious, and continuous for much longer than the requisite ten-year statutory period. Although the plaintiffs acquired the property less than ten years ago, the county's adverse use established the prescriptive easement against plaintiffs' predecessors in title. See Schwenker v. Sagers, 230 N.W.2d 525, 528 (Iowa 1975) (finding transfer of servient estate within statutory period does not bar prescriptive easement when claimant asserted adverse use for statutory period against prior owners). We affirm the district court's finding Dubuque County acquired a prescriptive easement to Dry Hollow Road through the Simon property.

SCOPE OF THE EASEMENT. The plaintiffs contend the district court erred in finding the scope of the county's easement extended twenty-two feet for roadway surface plus five additional feet on each side for keeping the roadway clear. The scope of an easement is only that which "is reasonably necessary and convenient for the purpose for which it was created." Flynn v. Michigan-Wisconsin Pipeline Co., 161 N.W.2d 56, 61 (Iowa 1968). When a highway is acquired by prescriptive easement the actual use defines the easement boundaries. Bangert v. Osceola County, 456 N.W.2d 183, 188 (Iowa 1990) (citing Davis v. Town of Bonaparte, 137 Iowa 196, 204, 114 N.W. 896, 899 (1908)).

The relative rights of the parties affect the scope of a prescriptive easement as well. Under Iowa law,

The easement holder has the right to use the [easement] in the manner and for the purposes it was intended to serve. He cannot use it in a way which imposes additional burdens on the owner of the land through which it runs. The easement holder's rights are not exclusive, and servient owners may use the easement strip for any purpose not inconsistent with the easement. Neither may use the [easement] in violation of the rights of the other.

*4 Schwenker, 230 N.W.2d at 527 (quoting Schwartz v. Grossman, 173 N.W.2d 57, 59-60 (Iowa 1969)). The servient owner's rights may be used to prevent expansion of a prescriptive easement but are not to be used "to erase or erode rights to such uses after they have been established by prescription." Schwenker, 230 N.W.2d at 527.

The parties at hand dispute the boundaries of Dry Hollow Road through the Simon property. Dry Hollow Road varies in width along its path. Testimony regarding the width of the road surface through

Page 209 Download HTML

Page 4 of 4

the Simon property was inconsistent. Plaintiff Deann Simon testified that when she took possession of the property in 1998 the width was fifteen to sixteen feet. She testified that the road's current width varies between thirteen and sixteen feet. The county claimed it tries to maintain a width of twenty feet. The county engineer's recent measurements show the width varies between fourteen and nineteen feet. He also testified that the county also mows and maintains a ten foot strip on either side of roadways to keep a clear zone. There was also testimony that the road has narrowed in recent years. Witnesses testified that plaintiff Leo Simon laid sod near the road and demanded the county stop performing maintenance through his property, which allowed weeds and grass to grow onto the graveled surface.

The district court held the county's prescriptive easement consisted of twenty-two feet of road surface and five feet on each side for a clear zone. On our de novo review of the facts and applicable law, we find the twenty-two foot road surface easement exceeds what is necessary and actually used by the public. A sufficient amount is needed to permit dairy trucks and large farm equipment to safely pass as they are frequent users of the roadway. We believe the neighboring residents and county engineer testimony that the Simons have purposely narrowed the roadway by three to four feet. Considering the actual use of the road and relative rights of the parties, we find an eighteen-foot road surface easement will allow large vehicles enough to enable the Simons' narrowing of the road. We agree that a five-foot clear zone easement on each side of the surface was also acquired by prescription. The county regularly maintained this zone on an as needed basis until this litigation began.

RIGHT TO MAINTAIN THE EASEMENT. The plaintiffs last contend, contrary to the district court's holding, the county does not have the authority to do maintenance on the roadway even it has an easement. Easement holders have all rights necessary to ensure the reasonable enjoyment of the easement. Koenigs v. Mitchell County Bd. of Supervisors, 659 N.W.2d 589, 594 (Iowa 2003). In addition, "easement holders not only have the right but an obligation to repair and maintain their easement as necessary." Id. The district court correctly held the county has a right to maintain the prescriptive easement.

*5 CONCLUSION. We affirm the finding Dubuque County has a prescriptive easement over Dry Hollow Road which includes the right to maintain the road. We modify the scope of the easement to eighteen feet of road surface and five feet on each side of the surface for maintaining a clear zone. Plaintiffs have challenged the admission of an exhibit showing road width. We have not considered this evidence in our de novo review; therefore, we need not address this issue.

AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.
