Dyersville City Council split on rezoning issue

After hearing arguments from both sides of the issue, the Dyersville City Council was split in its decision to rezone a lot located on the bank of the North Fork of the Maquoketa River and just across the street from Dyersville’s popular Legacy Square Park. The property owner expressed frustration with the city during a public hearing on the rezoning proposal. He intends to put a retail business in the existing building that previously had been a veterinary clinic, zoned A-1 agriculture. He requested a zoning change to C-1 commercial. He said he recognizes he should have researched the property’s zoning designation previously but has so far been dissatisfied with the city’s response when trying to find a remedy.
