Planning and Zoning recommends approval of Parkview Terrace Addition third filing; council reviews final plat

The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the final plat for Parkview Terrace Addition third filing on July 10, 2025, and city administration recommended that the Le Mars City Council approve the final plat at the meeting.

Wayne Schofield of Schofield Engineering presented the final plat and described the layout: the filing contains 10 lots and a private street, with most work intended to be filled above the flood plain where it intrudes. Schofield said the third filing is parallel to Highway 3 and that a planned fourth filing to the north was omitted from the final plat to allow coordination with future road work and development.

Schofield explained that sewer and water will be tapped from an existing alley to the north and that the developer will provide a short extension of main and a fire hydrant at the end of the new street. The plan includes paving to the end of the proposed lots and a gravel turnaround to accommodate fire apparatus, garbage trucks and similar vehicles; the temporary turnaround mirrors approaches used in earlier Parkview developments.

The presentation emphasized coordination of fill, infrastructure and pavement staging with future northward extension of the road.
