Agenda Item #1.
Addition of sidewalks on both sides of the street
Increase in the utility easement along the east lot line from five (5) feet to ten (10) feet
Increase the depth of concrete around the brick pavers from six (6) inches to seven (7) inches
Update the Subdivision name on the Preliminary Construction Drawings
Swafford felt the Commission intended to require the depth of proposed brick pavers be increased
from six (6) inches to seven (7) inches, in addition to the concrete curb and gutter area. Typically
pavers are not used for street projects. City Administrator Gifford agreed to talk to the City's engineer
and find out if it is necessary to have seven (7) inches pavers.
Christy was concerned that the Public Works Department would not be able to maintain the sanitary
sewer between the first two manholes due to the distance between them. City Clerk Fry will have
Public Works Director Brissey review the proposed manhole locations to ensure their equipment will
reach between the manholes for maintenance.

Moved by Dewey, seconded by Ruther, to approve the minutes as presented. Motion carried by the
following votes:
Ayes: Swafford, Christy, Ruther, Dewey, Conner, and Deen
Consider Final Plat for West Burlington Industrial Park Subdivision
City Administrator Gifford explained to Council that there had been interest in developing on the
former Raider Precast site at 205 N. Gear Ave. A company is interested in purchasing the existing
building that was formally occupied by Raider Precast Concrete. Before the property can be sold, the
building needs to be subdivided from the rest of the property. Lot 1 on the proposed West Burlington
Industrial Park Subdivision will have access to N. Gear Ave. from Lot A, which is reserved for road right-
of-way and public utilities. City Administrator Gifford explained that the City is in the process of
applying for an immediate need infrastructure grant from the Revitalize Iowa's Sound Economy (RISE)
program to construct a road on Lot A that will be dedicated to the City.
Swafford asked if the existing drive on Lot A would be adequate for the type of business interested in
purchasing Lot 1. City Administrator Gifford said the drive would be sufficient.
