Approval of the Rezoning of Parkview Crossing Plat 6 Lot 112 from R-3 Rental Multi-Family
Residential District to R-2 One and Two Family Residential District.Director of Development
Services,Brad Deets,explained the rezoning proposal and identified the applicant's general intent in
developing the property as single family lots.The property is within the overall Parkview Crossing
development south of the main Waukee School District Campus.The property is located in the northeast
comer of the SE Parkview Crossing Drive and SE Pleasant View Drive intersection and was zoned and
platted as a part of Parkview Crossing Plat 6,identified as Lot 112.The Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council reviewed the R-3 zoning proposal for the property in the spring of 2004.
Notification of the rezoning reqnest was mailed to property owners within 200 feet of the property on
Tuesday,May 18,2010 and a notification sign had been erected on site on the same date.Mr.Deets
noted that the applicant had received consent from over 71 percent of the property owners within 200 feet
of the site.
Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned how the streets indicated on the concept plan were intended to be
integrated with Alice's Road Corridor to the east.Mr.Deets explained that SE Pleasant View Drive had
already been planned to extend further east to intersect with SE Alice's Road,but indicated that staff was
still working to determine if SE Prairie Park Lane would extend beyond the property in question based
upon the intended spacing of street connections on SE Alice's Road.He further noted that it would be
possible,given the spacing between SE Pleasant View Drive and SE Prairie Park Lane,that SE Prairie
Park Lane could end up being a right-in light-out connection to SE Alice's Road.Chairman Schmidt
questioned how the storm water management of the property would tie in with properties down stream.
Tom Wittman of Civil Engineering Consultants,2400 86tl'Street,Des Moines,IA,explained that his firm
had worked with Veenstra and Kimm,the City's engineer to identify the best methods of addressing the
storm water management of the property.He indicated that the property was designed to accommodate
flows from the north and east and overflow from the site is sent west.Chairman Schmidt asked if the
water ended up in the Brighton Park detention pond as he noted previous siltation from plats in the
Parkview Crossing area had reduced the storage capacity of the detention pond.Mr.Deets indicated that
the water did eventually end up going through the Brighton Park detention pond,but noted that the storm
water management requirements of development are currently much stricter than had previously been in
place.The Commission discussed how the proposed transition in land use and density translated from the
property in question to the north and east.Commissioner Mook noted that he felt the existing zoning of
the property provided a much better transition from single family homes into the commercial corridor
planned for Alice's Road.The Commission agreed that it would be in the City'S best interest to make the
potential homeowners as aware of the surrounding commercial zoning as possible.Mr.Deets indicated
that Jerry's Homes had come to an agreement with the property owner east of the property in question
regarding a specific covenant that would be identified on each property within the development indicating
that there is commercial zoning adjacent to the individual lots.
