The proposed final plat includes one (1) lot which is to be the site of a new elementary school. FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request on October 1, 2019 and recommended approval: Approval of a Final Plat for Waukee Elementary #10 City Planner, Melissa DeBoer, introduced the request for the approval of a preliminary plat, final plat, and site plan for the development of an elementary school as proposed by the applicant, Waukee Community School District. The subject property is generally located north of Ashworth Road and west of R-22/ Ute Ave, and contains approximately 19.05 acres. Mrs. DeBoer advised that the project would include one lot that would contain an elementary school approximately 101,417 square feet in size. Additionally, the project would include a playground to the west of the school building, bicycle parking, a trash enclosure, and a muti-use enclosure, similar to other recently constructed elementary schools in the area. The construction is proposed to begin in Spring of 2020 with a completion and opening date of Fall 2022. Mrs. DeBoer advised that primary access to the site will be off of Ashworth Road with staff parking and school bus drop off zones off of a one way access on Serenity Drive. The site plan indicates 160 parking spaces across the site, and pedestrian walk ways installed through out the site. 10 foot wide trails will be installed along Ashworth Road and Serenity Drive. Utilities were provided to the site with the public improvements associated with Ashworth Acres Plat 1, and Stormwater will be routed to the southeast detention pond. All landscaping, open space, and lighting plans meet the requirements for the zoning district. At this time staff would recommend approval of the preliminary plat, final plat, and site plan for Waukee Elementary #10, subject to any remaining staff comments and review of the legal documents. J11 Director of Development, Brad Deets, added to the staff presentation that the paving in front of the school and adjacent residential plat is nearing completion, and that a hard overlay will be placed on Ashworth road to R-22 by the time the school opens. Mr. Deets also pointed out that this particular project is taking notes from previous projects and includes additional cueing space to allow for less road blockage during peak hours of operation.  Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if the entrance to the school would be lighted. Mr. Deets advised that it would be a good location for one in the future, but at the time of opening, it is not intended to be lighted. Mr. Deets sited maple grove elementary which was operational for several years before lights were installed at the intersection.  Commissioner Tietz questioned what the multi-use enclosure was. Mrs. DeBoer advised it was just green space, not an actual practice field.  Commissioner Koshy questioned if the extended sidewalks will be included to R-22 for pedestrian travel to the school. Mr. Deets advised that as the area gets built out, sidewalks or a trail will be built on the north side of Ashworth. Commissioner Koshy moved to approve a Final Plat for Waukee Elementary #10 Subject to any remaining staff comments and review of the legal documents. The motion was seconded by commissioner Broderick. Ayes: Tietz, Broderick, Hoifeldt, and Koshy. Nays: None. Motion Carries. STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff would recommend approval of the final plat.
