Council approves Project Tiger general development plan for 23-acre annexed tract
Summary
Stewartville City Council voted to approve the revised general development plan (GDP) for “Project Tiger,” a 23-acre area annexed to the city on Jan. 14, 2025, after the planning commission recommended approval subject to the city engineer’s review letter.
Stewartville City Council voted to approve the revised general development plan for Project Tiger, a 23.0-acre parcel annexed into the city on Jan. 14, 2025. The planning commission held a public hearing on Feb. 4 and recommended approval subject to the city engineer’s review letter; council approved the GDP after a motion and second and a voice vote in favor.
The GDP covers Block 1 (Lot 1) and an Outlot A that will serve as a stormwater pond the city expects to accept in the future. The council record notes that the rest of the land surrounding the primary lots is designated as right-of-way or otherwise not developable under the current plan.
City staff described the proposal as consistent with the city’s subdivision ordinance, contingent on the engineer’s remaining technical comments. The planning commission’s recommendation and the engineer’s review were summarized in staff materials presented to council; council asked clarifying questions about lot layout and the pond outlot’s future ownership before voting.
No specific conditions beyond the engineer’s review letter were placed on the approval in the meeting record. The motion carried by a voice vote; no roll-call tally or named votes were recorded in the public transcript.
The project record provided to council included illustrative site plans and photo exhibits. Council discussion in the meeting focused on parcel boundaries, access, and the city’s future responsibility for Outlot A as a pond, rather than on changes to uses or densities.
