Rottinghaus/Carr moved to approved Res# 05-26* for Purchase of Right-of-Way by Floyd County: The
Board has authorized the County Engineer to acquire the necessary right-of-way for construction and maintenance
on the Secondary Road System. To ensure uniform treatment of landowners, purchases will follow a set rate
schedule: Land acquisition: Compensation at 3.55 times the 100% valuation (as per the 2024 Land Values
document). Trees: Healthy trees in residential areas will either be relocated or replaced with 1” or 2” nursery stock
of similar wood type. Land values will be based on County Assessor figures, ensuring fairness, consistency, and a
protected right of appeal. Roll call: Ayes-Carr, Rottinghaus; motion carried 2-0.

bending rebar for upcoming projects. Miller plans to pursue a sign grant to get reimbursed for regulatory and
warning signs installed in 2026, including reflective post strips, and office staff are advancing design work on
multiple construction projects. Miller and the Board discussed closing both north–south and east–west routes for two
bridge replacements at Niles Corner. A landowner requested removal of five culverts on Ivory Avenue between
190th and 200th due to flooding; Miller suggested holding a public hearing to close the road at the culverts and
reuse the culverts elsewhere.
The Board discussed replacing the Nora Springs Secondary Road shop with a larger building to fit the new
motor grader, a truck, and utilities, or selling the site and building on a larger property that could also store
materials. Replacing the Marble Rock shop with a larger facility with water and sewer was also considered. The
Board asked Miller to provide itemized costs for both projects.
Jessy Willadsen, Zoning Administrator, submitted proposed updates to the Planning and Zoning fee
schedule, recommending a tiered structure based on property size and clarifying several fee categories.
The Board briefly discussed prioritizing amendments to Floyd County’s Zoning Ordinance related to
Battery Energy Storage Systems, Solar, and Data Centers/Crypto Mining and contracting for services. The Board
review John Robbins proposal but will continue this discussion when the full board is available.

requirements for bollards around wellheads or groundwater monitoring wells—setting a 3' minimum to 4' maximum
when scoring Master Matrix points for questions 7, 19, and 44. These standards apply to new confinement
construction or increases in animal numbers requiring a new or updated Construction Permit Application and Master
Matrix submitted to the Iowa DNR from this day forward. Roll call: Ayes – Carr, Rottinghaus; motion carried 2‑0.
Rottinghaus/Carr moved to approve the updated Door Entrance Access Card & Fob Policy. Motion carried

Zoning Fee schedule, and budgets.
