Board approves Sugar Creek Acres Plat 4, abates mobile home taxes and adopts routine finance measures
At its June 30 meeting the Dallas County Board of Supervisors approved several formal resolutions recorded in the meeting packet.

The Board approved Resolution 2026‑0085, accepting the Final Plat of Sugar Creek Acres Plat 4 (parcel 1605326002) for petitioner Brandon Balekos. Planning staff reported the plat creates two lots (Lot 1 = 2.26 acres; Lot 2 = 2.52 acres), that Lot 2 will connect to Waukee city sewer, and that the Iowa DNR provided a base flood elevation of 919.8 feet. Planning recommended approval; the Board adopted the resolution with no conditions other than standard recording requirements.

The Board also adopted Resolution 2026‑0086 to vacate an older drainage easement shown on the 1986 plat of Sugar Creek Acres; the vacating resolution is explicitly conditioned to take effect only upon approval and recording of Plat 4.

The Board approved Resolution 2026‑0084 to abate mobile home taxes for specified parcels, following a Treasurer request that attached parcel, VIN and tax details; supporting correspondence in the packet confirmed that at least one home had been moved out of state and eligible for abatement under Iowa Code §435.25.
