Approval of a Preliminary Plat for Fox Creek Meadows
Senior City Planner, Melissa DeBoer, introduced the request for approval of a preliminary plat for a
duplex and multi-family residential development as submitted by the applicant, Fox Creek meadows,
LLC. The subject property is generally located north of NW Douglas Parkway and west of NW 10th

third and final reading planned for the July 5th, 2022, City Council Meeting.
Mrs. DeBoer advised that the plat identifies a total of 64 lots ranging in size from 5,000 to 13,690
square feet intended for duplex residential development. Additionally, the preliminary plat identifies
Outlot W for future multi-family development, Outlots x and Y are identified for stormwater
detention, and outlot Z for parkland dedication. A landscape buffer will be provided as screening from
NW 10th Street. Streets, Trails, and sidewalks will be extended throughout the development for access

project to acquire the greenbelt that cuts through this area which would eventually become a
large area for parkland and open space.

EASEMENTS
All proposed easements have been indicated on the preliminary plat. Landscape buffer easements have been indicated
along the lots adjacent to NW 10th Street.
PARKLAND DEDICATION

parkland is 3.53-acres. The applicant intends to provide 0.88 acres of parkland along the north side of the development
within the floodplain (Outlot Z) and the remaining parkland required will be provided with a fee in lieu of.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Imagine Waukee 2040: Comprehensive Plan identifies the subject property as Single Family Residential. Single Family
Residential is defined as traditional forms of single-family housing with lot sizes ranging from 8,000 square feet to 0.50-
acres in area with an average density of 2 to 4 units per acre. The proposed density of the duplex lots within the
proposed R-2 zoning district are approximately 4 units per acre.
June 23, 2022
4 of 4
Although the proposed rezoning to R-3, Multi-Family Residential, is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, staff is
comfortable with the proposal as the proposed densities will be consistent with surrounding land uses. With the schools
nearby, it will provide a variety of housing options for the area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
All proposed lots meet the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, the preliminary plat is in general
conformance with the Subdivision Ordinance, and the proposed land use of the property is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat for Fox Creek Meadows subject to remaining
staff comments.
