Zoning Advisory Commission approves Summers Place final plat allowing three lots

The Zoning Advisory Commission on June 4, 2025 in Dubuque approved the final plat for Summers Place, a minor subdivision that divides an existing property at the end of Meadowl Lane into three lots.

The change restructures property lines for 45, 49 and 65 Meadowl Lane to create three separate lots and retain two accessory buildings on what will be Lot 3. Terry Kelker of Beezing and Associates, representing property owners Carl and Mary Summers, told the commission, “we've now got 2 accessory buildings that are on Lot 3, which has a residential home on that lot.”

Associate planner Sheena Moon said the replat follows a special‑exception review by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. “This did go through a special exception review by the Zoning Board of Adjustment, and that was approved,” she said, adding that the new lots comply with bulk regulations including setbacks, frontage and required parking.

Commissioner Forstad moved to approve the final plat “as proposed.” The motion passed on a roll call vote with Forstad, Lorman, Norton, Zuccaro and Chair Russell recording aye votes (Zuccaro recorded an abstention earlier in a separate vote during the meeting; the Summers Place motion passed as recorded). The commission noted the lots are currently under common ownership and that the owners intend to offer the parcels for sale in the future.

The approved plat retains access for 49 Meadowl Lane via a shared driveway with 65 Meadowl Lane and confirms required off‑street parking for single‑family residences on all three lots. The commission did not attach additional conditions to the subdivision approval.

The file on Summers Place will be processed per city subdivision procedures following the commission's approval.
