Meeting of the Board of Supervisors at their office, 200 E. Bridge St., Elkader, IA.
Present: Robert Walke, Neil Meyer, Larry Gibbs
Renae McIntosh, Child Support Recovery Unit, presented an annual report of statistics regarding caseload (711), court ordered case percentage average (94%) and collections ($1,553,242) for Clayton County. Changes in procedures due to new legislation were also discussed.
A public hearing for the preliminary plat of River Bluffs Resort was held. Mike Oberbroeckling, Planning & Zoning Administrator, read the minutes of the July 12, 2005, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The updated preliminary plat was present. Tim Mason, submitted a letter from Wallace Taylor, attorney, regarding concerns about the application of the preliminary plat, ownership of the property, and agreeing with the conditions that the P & Z Commission had set out. Harlan Dettman, stated objections to fact that the construction has started and the preliminary plat has not yet been approved. His name is on the plat as an adjacent landowner. According to him, an enormous amount of trees are being logged off the property currently. Greg Koether, stated his concern over the proper names of the owners of being on the preliminary plat and the presence of the owners at the meeting. Jim Daughtry stated that he was present representing the owners of the property. Another concern of Greg Koether was the method of the meeting conducted by the P & Z Commission. Bob Walke asked about the conditions of the Planning & Zoning Commission motion to approve the preliminary plat. Steve Thompson, MSA engineer, explained the actions taken to address the conditions. Bob Walke expressed his concern of requiring fire hydrants in the subdivision as a very expensive requirement for all future developments. Dry hydrants may be feasible. The condition of the golf cart over/under crossing construction of Jasper Ave. if not feasible should not be required. Kayla Koether, spoke to safety concerns of golf carts crossing and the fire hydrants. The conditions if not met then the P & Z Commission approval is not met. Larry Gibbs explained that the P & Z Commission motion is only a recommendation and the Board of Supervisors makes its own decision regarding the preliminary plat. Harlan Dettman, expressed his concern regarding the length of the cul-de-sac. Mr. Thompson requested that the board waive the cul-de-sac length requirement as they have in the past subdivisions.
Motion by Walke to approve the preliminary plat as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission because conditions “a through f” have been met and remove conditions “g and h”. The motion died for lack of a second.
Motion by Gibbs, seconded by Walke, to approve the preliminary plat as approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission with the conditions of approval. Ayes: Walke, Meyer, Gibbs
