Approve Final Plat Lake View Estates in the City of Dyersville, Delaware County, Iowa. Plat submitted by Bill Hermsen / Hermsen Construction. Recording Secretary Lori Panton stated that a revised plat and additional reports were on the table before the commission members. Chairperson Roger Gibbs stated that at the last meeting there were some issues that needed to be resolved regarding the plat. He asked if those issues had been resolved. Bill Hermsen, developer, was present and stated there are no issues because all his runoff will remain on his property. City Administrator Mick Michel stated that he and the Public Works Director met with Buesing staff and supplied recommendations for storm sewer and water runoff. Michel stated that it appears those recommendations were met on the revised plat. Michel also stated that they are still evaluating the water runoff reports as this is part of the development agreement. Michel said things are moving along they just need to finalize the reports. Michel stated he also spoke with Koch’s legal counsel and there will be no runoff going into the drainage ditch. The outlet will probably go to Lot B or 332nd Avenue. Michel said the sewer easements were being negotiated with both parties. There are two options they are looking at, with one being gravity flow or possibly a lift station. Michel also stated the land to the south of this subdivision (FarmTek) is slated for commercial development. Michel would like to see something in the covenants addressing this to prevent future homeowners from trying to stop the development. Overall, the development agreement will be the final governing body. Chairperson Gibbs asked where the Planning & Zoning Commission falls within this process. Michel stated that like in any previous subdivision items, they provide their recommendation to the city council. This can happen now, or it can wait until the development agreement is completed, but that has not been the normal process in the past. Commission Member Tim Nefzger wanted to confirm that the runoff and tile issues from the last meeting were handled. Michel stated the tile issue was already there and taken care of. The runoff is waiting for the study to determine if it is increasing or not and where it will drain to. As previously stated, the sanitary sewer has two options and they are working on that. Gibbs asked if Jeanine Koch would like to address the commission. Koch stated her attorney met with Michel and the mayor. Her attorney has been busy, and she has not heard back from him so she could not comment. Gibbs stated that he did have a conversation with Koch last week to provide him with a progress report. Michel stated that based on the concept design previously submitted by Koch, this subdivision fits in with that, and does not have a problem with this plat being approved. Koch stated the lot sizes may change from the original concept design. Michel said that would not be a problem, but the street structure would need to remain the same. Nefzger wanted to confirm that if this final plat is approved that there were more safeguards in place to handle the runoff issues. Michel stated the council will need to approve the final plat and the development agreement lays out in more detail what needs to take place.

There were no further questions or comments.
