The Kalona City Council unanimously approved changes to the city’s subdivision ordinance at Monday’s meeting.
The council voted to waive the second reading of the ordinance and pass it on its third reading.
City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh said he had received no public comments regarding the changes to the ordinance.
“We were thinking maybe we had some public who wanted to comment on this, but evidently, nobody has reached out to anybody,” Mayor Mark Robe said. “Maybe we can just finish this up tonight.”
Some of the changes to the subdivision ordinance include:
• “Open space dedication: Ability for P&Z and City Council to utilize trails plans and comprehensive plans for future land dedications for open spaces, neighborhood parks and trail connectivity.”
• “Improvements required: Sidewalks are a critical part to our community and P&Z has worked hard to make sure that in new developments that undeveloped lots after seven years of 75% of the lots have been developed that sidewalks at a minimum of one side of each street within the development are completed with a minimum of 2-inch layer of Portland concrete cement.”
