Supervisors approve SBT Subdivision final plat with floodplain and roadway conditions

The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors on June 9 adopted Resolution #2026-036 approving the Final Plat for SBT Subdivision, subject to conditions set by the county. The resolution cites Section 354.8 of the Code of Iowa and notes that the plat was reviewed by the county auditor, health department, secondary roads department and land use department before recommendation for approval.

The board recorded two explicit conditions: any new construction on Lots 1 and 2 must comply with the minimum requirements of the Des Moines County Floodplain Development Ordinance (enforced by the Land Use Administrator), and any new roadway entrance for Lot 2 must obtain formal approval from Des Moines County Secondary Roads prior to construction. The motion to approve was made by Jim Cary and seconded by Tom L. Broeker; minutes indicate the motion passed unanimously.

The resolution was approved and signed by the board on June 9, 2026, and attested by County Auditor Sara Doty. County staff noted the usual post-approval requirements for permitting and compliance; the land-use department will be the point of contact for enforcement and next steps.

There was no recorded public objection in the meeting minutes; questions about industrial zoning were raised later in public input but were not tied to the SBT Subdivision item.

The board's action establishes conditions intended to address floodplain and access concerns before development proceeds.
