Mission Statement.
Minutes: August 14, 2012

Subdivision
LBM/Phelps Subdivision – Preliminary/Final Plat – A Replat of Lot 2 – A Subdivision of Parcels “C” & “D”- Off Hershey Avenue – LBM Storage, LLC. Gary Whitacre of Martin & Whitacre Surveyors & Engineers, Inc. has filed a combined Preliminary/Final Plat for the Replat of Lot 2 on behalf of LBM Storage, LLC. If approved, the Phelps Laundry intends to purchase lot 2B. Both Lots 2A & 2B will have their frontage on Hershey Avenue. The owners of lots 1, 2A & 2B will enter into an agreement for access and maintenance of the road named Newcomb Boulevard.

Alley Vacation
Vacate remaining portion of Alley #1 - Between Mulberry Avenue and a vacated portion of Orange Street - 2,992 Square Feet - HNI Corporation. HNI Corporation has filed a vacation plat for a portion of Alley #1 off of Mulberry in Block 16. HNI owns all the adjoining property to this portion of Alley #1, including a portion of Alley #1 previously vacated and sold to HNI. There is an ingress-egress easement that extends from this portion of Alley #1 to residences that front Mississippi Drive. The current utility and adjoining property access easements will remain in place, adjacent home owners will be ensured continued access to their properties. HNI intends to construct and then maintain the vacated alley as access to a parking lot.

Utility Easement Vacation
Utility Easement Vaction on Lots 21 and 22 of Riverbend Second Addition - Clermont Drive - Stacy Eberhard. Gary Whitacre of Martin & Whitacre Surveyors & Engineers Inc., acting on behalf of Stacy Eberhard has submitted an easement vacation plat that vacates a 10 feet wide utility easement, composed of two adjoining 5-foot utility easements located on Lot 21 and Lot 22 of the Riverbend Second Addition. The intent is to combine these two parcels, which makes these utility easements unnecessary as the resulting parcel will have all the necessary utility easements located along the perimeter.

Annexation
Voluntary Annexation – Ripley’s Mobile Home Park and Nearby Areas - 370.7 Acres. The City of Muscatine has entered into an agreement with Ripley’s Inc. to extend sanitary gravity sewer from Park Avenue West to Ripley’s Mobile Home Park. The mobile home park is under court order to modify their existing failing lagoon system to meet regulations established by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Options to extend this sanitary sewer were reviewed, including a pump station, but the recommendation from staff and engineers focused on utilizing gravity flow to the existing Mad Creek line. This agreement also included a voluntary annexation agreement. Voluntary annexation agreements have also been signed with four other property owners through which the new sewer line will flow or that could easily be served by it. This annexation would add approximately 370.7 acres, 22 parcels, and 865 people to the City of Muscatine.
