Approve the Application of Charles Wells -115 N.Warrior Ln.A variance was requested by
Charles Wells,owner of property at 115 N.Warrior Ln.,to allow the present number of parking spaces
on the property.Mr.Wells wishes to lease the entire building to a restaurant,which would require 6
more parking spaces according to Waukee Municipal Code §301.27.B.13.Mr.Wells stated that he
believed the 6 extra parking spaces were unnecessary,excessive and expensive.City staff clarified for
the Board that the original approved concept for building was partial restaurant and retail,for which
the current parking is adequate;however,when more of the building is devoted to restaurant,the
minimum parking requirements increase.Mark Arentsen suggested that Mr.Wells could be given a
specific timeframe in which to build the additional parking,and that Mr.Wells provide the City with
some form of security (a bond,credit statement,etc.)to guarantee that the work would be completed
by the due date.The Board asked Mr.Wells what the cost would be to add the parking spaces,but Mr.
Wells had no figures.The question arose as to the legality of bonding fOTa project that is not
considered a public improvement,and the City agreed to consult the City attorney on the issue.
