Board approves final plat for Combs Subdivision in northeastern Des Moines County
Summary
The board approved the final plat for Combs Subdivision and waived the county's minimum lot-size requirement for a 0.25-acre parcel that will be transferred to an adjoining owner; planning staff said the lot is unbuildable and not intended for new development.
The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors on July 7 approved the final plat for Combs Subdivision, a small minor subdivision in the northeast part of the county along Hawkeye Creek.
Planning staff member Jared Laster told the board the proposal "is a pretty simple one here," explaining the parcel at issue is a 0.25-acre remnant that sits below the county's minimum lot-size requirement and will be transferred to an adjoining owner rather than developed. He said the resolution includes a condition waiving the standard 40,000-square-foot (about 0.92-acre) minimum in this single case because the lot is not intended for new construction.
The board moved and seconded the resolution and recorded votes on the floor. The action was presented by the land-use office as a cleanup measure to align recorded boundaries with on-the-ground maintenance near Hawkeye Creek.
