Members of the Commission asked questions of both Developer Woods and Engineer Morlock
regarding street names, retention basins, sediment control, utility sign -offs on the plat, lot
numbering in the phase, and financial guarantees/draft Letter of Credit. Engineer Morlock shared
his experience from Bettendorf and advised that although Bettendorf utilizes assessment waivers as
a financial instrument, it's common practice for a P&Z Commission to recommend approval of a

plat with contingencies that must be met before the plat should be accepted by the City Council and
signed by the Mayor.
The Commission discussed Section 4o of the Subdivision Ordinance for the City of Riverdale. The
ordinance states in lieu of installing the required improvements, the Developer shall file a financial
instrument before the final plat shall be approved by the Commission. Concern was raised that the
Letter of Credit, which is an approved financial instrument, was not fully executed and did not meet
the requirements to approve.
Developer Woods agreed that he would provide a final, written Letter of Credit in advance of the
next Regular Meeting of the City Council when that body takes up consideration of approving the
Phase 2 plat.
A MOTION was made by Beran and seconded by Stickler that reads:
The Planning &Zoning Commission of Riverdale recommends approval of the final plat for
Woods Estates of Riverdale SecondAddition contingent upon the receipt of a fully -executed Letter
of Credit guaranteeing the completion of the identified public improvements provided that Letter
of Credit is received by the City Council in advance of consideration of plat approval for the
Second Additon.
All ayes. Motion carried.
Co -Chair Syverud also asked that the language of the Letter of Credit be more exact in its
identification of the project and work it is intended to guarantee. Mayor Bawden provided
assurances that the language would be changed to match the identification of the project as shown
on the drawings submitted to the Commission for their review and recommendation.
Developer Woods stated that he will move ahead with finalizing the Letter of Credit and having
everything ready to go for review by the City Council at its next meeting on April 14th at 7pm.
