Approve Preliminary Plat/Site Plan for Park View Commons.Tom Wittman of Civil
Engineering Consultants presented the preliminary plat and site plan for Park View Commons.
There was much discussion regarding the necessity of installing a concrete flume along the
Booth Avenue edge of the property.City Administrator Mark Arentsen,in the absence of Public
Works Director John Gibson,stated the City's position that the concrete flume is necessary for
proper drainage,to discourage litter build-up and possible animal habitats,and to be more
esthetically pleasing.There was also much discussion on the amount of hard surfaces included
on the exterior plan of the buildings,including garages.Mr.Wittman stated that he believed the
other aspects of the plan (gable roofs,set-backs,entryway columns and dual-colored siding)
made the design interesting enough not to add more brick.Motion by Commissioner Hoifeldt,
seconded by Commissioner Willits,to "Approve Preliminary Plat for Park View Commons with
the following stipulations:
1.add a minimum of four (4)feet of face brick up to the first floor plate on the east
elevation ofthe east units and the west elevation of the west units;
2.add a minimum of two (2)feet of face brick on east elevation of the east garages;

Approve Site Plan for Budget Storage.Doug Saltsgaver of Engineering Resource Group,
Inc.,presented the site plan for Budget Storage.Also in attendance was a Mr.Sharpe,
Construction Manager for Budget Storage.The site plan for Budget Storage had originally been
approved in 1996,but had expired before completion of all buildings on site.Approval is being
requested for Building D.There was much discussion as to the pole sign currently on site,which
is out of compliance with current City code.Mr.Saltsgaver stated that,because the pole sign
was constructed prior to the code change and is on a portion ofthe property that is already
developed,they hoped the sign could stay as is.Another concern of the Commission was the
lack of a fire protection review by the Waukee Fire Chief.Motion by Commissioner Hoifeldt,
seconded by Commissioner Korpanty,to "Approve the Site Plan for Budget Storage with the
following stipulations:
1.split-face CMU used on the north-and south-facing exteriors to match existing exteriors
on other buildings on site;

improvements the Fire Chief deems necessary;
