Supervisors approve Windstream fiber installation, set hearings on zoning and decommissioning, and hear an alley‑vacation request
Summary
On March 25 the board approved Windstream Iowa Communications LLC’s application to place 37,125 feet of fiber along several county streets, set April 15 hearings on an Article 4 essential‑service amendment and a decommissioning plan amendment, and heard a request to vacate an alley in Wapello.
The Louisa County Board of Supervisors approved Windstream Iowa Communications LLC’s application to construct 37,125 feet of fiber optic cable along I Avenue, 148th Street, H Avenue, 155th Street, Jefferson Street, S. Market Street and Monroe Street (motion by Kevin Hardin, seconded by Scot Hunt). County Engineer Adam Shutt gave a weekly update and later discussed his five‑year plan; the minutes summarize the update without itemized project budgets.
The board also scheduled two public hearings for April 15: one at 9:00 a.m. on an amendment to Article 4 (Regulations Applying to All Districts), section 110.10.2 on Essential Service, and a second at 9:15 a.m. on an amendment to the Decommissioning Plan (Item G, Item #6). These hearings will allow public comment on proposed regulatory changes affecting land use and project decommissioning requirements.
Separately, Carie and Rob Murray, joined by Brian Thye from Zoning, requested the board consider vacating the alley adjacent to their property at 13979 Locust St., Wapello. The minutes record the request; no final action on the alley vacation appears in these minutes.
