The purpose of this request is to divide our existing farm property into two separate lots. One lot will be established for the construction of our future residence and will serve as our homestead. The second lot will remain agricultural land and will continue to be actively farmed by us as part of our ongoing farming operation. The proposed division will not result in additional development beyond our single residential homesite. We were raised on farms in the Midwest and want to provide the same opportunities to our three young children. We intend to use this homestead as a place for our family to learn and grow, and to become active members of the local community. Access to the property will be provided through an existing driveway owned by the neighboring landowner. We have obtained a formal easement for the use of this driveway. The entrance to the driveway is shared, and a shared driveway agreement is being finalized in parallel with this application. For utilities, the proposed residential lot will include the installation of a new private well and a new septic system. The property will not be connected to city water or sewer services. No shared well or septic systems are planned between the lots. We appreciate the Commission’s consideration of this request and look forward to working with county staff throughout the review process. Please let us know if any additional information is needed to assist in reviewing this application. Sincerely, Aaron and Amanda Geffre Page 4  FINAL PLAT GEFFRE HOMESTEAD No. 2 A SUBDIVISION LOCATED IN PART OF THE NORTHWEST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF SECTION 26, TOWNSHIP 81 NORTH, RANGE 3 EAST OF THE 5TH P.M., CLINTON COUNTY, IOWA.
