Approve Plat of Survey of Hermsen Addition #2, in the City of Dyersville, Iowa. Ken Hermsen (450 S Grandview, Dubuque, Iowa) was present and stated that he purchased this land that his dad owned. Once the property was surveyed, they discovered the creek had changed course and Hermsen thought it was best to correct the ownership of the changed property now to allow for better maintenance of the land. The committee questioned what the difference was between this plat and the one a few months ago. City Administrator Mick Michel stated the previous plat changed the house and farmland property lines and fixed some easement and property access issues. Hermsen identified the property in question to the boards, which was the two small lots by the creek. Hermsen stated they would be added to Lot 3. The committee questioned what happens when the creek changes course again. Michel stated that stabilization of the creek bed will help and now there are GIS points which can verify property lines. The commission asked Hermsen if he owned those two small areas and Hermsen said not yet. He had to get the land surveyed and the plat approved before he could purchase them. He does have verbal agreements with the current owners to buy the land. City Administrator Mick Michel stated he does not have any issues with the plat. Michel said it makes sense to have the property lines follow the natural barriers of the creek. There were not further questions or comments. Motion to Approve Plat of Survey of Hermsen Addition #2, in the City of Dyersville, Iowa made by: Matt Tauke; seconded by Ryan Cahill.

Approve Final Plat of 20 West Industrial Center Seventh Addition in the City of Dyersville, Delaware County, Iowa. Jacque Rahe, with Dyersville Economic Development, was present and stated this plat is a split of the former Lot 7. They are separating the 9 acre lot into 2 parcels. The DEDC board decided to donate aproximately 3 acres for a Kid Project 2.0 in the industrial park. They will begin a capital campaign to raise money for the construction. A $1.7 million match grant has also been awarded for the project. Lot 1 will be the Kid Project area and Lot 2 is for future development. City Administrator Mick Michel stated he has no issues with the plat. The project falls within the development critera and is in line with the land use plan. Rahe stated the grant needed the project to fit with the need of the workforce. This Kid Project is not only for the workers in the industrial park but for everyone. Both centers will remain open. Motion to Approve Final Plat of 20 West Industrial Center Seventh Addition in the City of Dyersville, Delaware County, Iowa made by: Tim Nefzger; seconded by Bec Willenborg.
