Approval of a Rezoning Related to a Change from A-1 (Agricultural District) to R-1 (Single
Family Residential District) [The Reserve at Daybreak]
Waukee city planner, Melissa DeBoer, introduced the request for a rezoning made by the
applicant, Element 119. The subject property is located west of Ute Avenue and North of
Ashworth Road. The comprehensive plan identifies this property as neighborhood Residential
and the applicant has submitted the necessary petition and consent to the rezoning.
Mrs. DeBoer advised that a concept plan has been submitted, and staff is still working with the
applicant in regards to the park location. Under the R-1 zoning, the proposed lots will meet or
exceed the minimum requirements of 10,000 square feet with 80 foot widths. Sunflower Drive
will be extended from daybreak Plat 2, with the creation of 4 other streets with in the
development.
At this time staff would recommend approval of the rezoning.

Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned in regards to a cul-de-sac that didn’t have distinct
mark outs. Mrs. DeBoer advised they were very feint but that there is an access drive
between the two lots at the end of the cul-de-sac.
Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if a cul-de-sac was truly wanted as there was still the
possibility for western expansion. An engineering representative of the applicant advised
that it was to preserve the landscape, there are a lot of trees in that region of the
development and the whole west side drops from south to north.
Joe Kazor of 31475 Ute Avenue brought forward his concerns regarding storm water
runoff from the development. He advised that the slope from the south leads to his
property as does the drop in grade from the west. With the development the topography
of the land will be changed and he is concerned the excess water will overflow the
current farm pond and creek tributary that are located on his land, eventually washing out
the area and causing damage to his property.
Jared Murray of CDA 3405 crossroads drive, grimes, advised that there is an existing
gully between the properties, the design plan is to widen that gully to accommodate
possible storm water so that it doesn’t alter what already flows into the property.
Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if there will be an increase in the slope for the homes
to be built. Mr. Murry advised that the back of the properties are proposed to be level and
a berm constructed on the east side of the development to retain any water runoff.
Mr. Kazor advised that the previous development creates a heavy run off across the front
of his property. The pond getting bigger isn’t going to satisfy his current concerns.
Director of development services, Brad Deets, advised that regardless of what is built, the
developer is required by City Ordinance to detain their own run off. This approval is just
for the land use, when a preliminary plan and site plan are provided more specific
calculations and elevations are provided to ensure proper water management. City Staff is
more than willing to go over and explain any of these documents when they arrive.
Commissioner Broderick moved to approve the rezoning related to a change from A-1
(agricultural District) to R-1 (Single Family Residential District) [Reserve at Daybreak]. The
motion was seconded by commissioner Streit. Ayes: Ward, Streit, Broderick, Hoifeldt, Tietz, and
Martin. Nays: None. Motion Carries.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff would recommend holding the public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION: Hold the Public Hearing

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

land uses in the area. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning.
