CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: January 2, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of approval of a resolution approving a final plat for Spring
Meadows Plat 1
FORMAT: Resolution
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: Waukee Partnership, LLC, requests approval of a final
plat for 9.28-acres of property located south of Hickman Road and west of Ute
Avenue. The plat includes a total of 37 lots for single-family residential
development. All lots meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the R-2
and R-2 / PD-1 zoning districts. Extensions of streets and utilities have been
completed by the developer. Three lots from the original final plat at time of
Planning and Zoning Commission review were removed and will be added to
a future Spring Meadows plat. This was due to a backup in mitigating the
delineated wetlands on the property. The applicant is awaiting confirmation
from the Army Corps of Engineers if the wetland is considered jurisdictional
based on a SCOTUS ruling.
