Approval of a Preliminary Plat for the Reserve at Daybreak Plat 4
City Planner, Melissa DeBoer, introduced the request for approval of a preliminary plat
as submitted by the applicant, Element 119, llc. The subject property is located north of
Ashworth Road and west of Ute Avenue, containing approximately 5.44 acres. This
property was rezoned in May 2019 to allow Single Family Residential development.
Mrs. DeBoer explained that the request is to split what is currently lot 7 of the Reserve at
Daybreak Plat 4, into three separate lots for single family development. Two of the lots
will contain non-buildable outlots in the total square footage due to the location of a
floodplain. These outlots will be maintained by the owners of the corresponding lots.
Mrs. DeBoer advised that there is a private drive to serve lots 1 and 2 as lot 3 will be
accessed off of Century Circle. This private drive includes an ingress/egress easement
and will be privately maintained. A five foot sidewalk will be constructed on both sides
of Century Circle with individual lot development. All public utilities will be available to
the lots.
At this time staff would recommend approval of the preliminary plat for The Reserve at
Daybreak Plat 4, subject to any remaining staff comments.
Commissioner Streit questioned why the split was occurring. A representative of
the applicant, Jared Murray, advised that the developer was originally going to
D1
build a personal home on the large lot 7, however, they built on a different lot,
and the smaller lots are more market friendly.
Commissioner Broderick asked staff to verify if the floodplain fringe was
creeping onto lots 1 and 2 on the plat map. Senior City Planner, Andy Kass,
verified that the marker commissioner Broderick was looking at was for the
sanitary Sewer extension.
Commissioner Broderick moved to approve the Preliminary Plat for the Reserve at
Daybreak Plat 4, subject to any remaining staff comments. Commissioner Koshy
seconded the motion. Ayes: Streit, Broderick, Hoifeldt, and Koshy. Nays: None. Motion
Carries.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff’s position is that the proposed preliminary plat
meets the intent and the requirements of the R-1 (Single Family
Residential) Zoning District and that the applicant has successfully
addressed all of the requirements within the Waukee Subdivision
Ordinance with the submittal of this preliminary plat.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat for The Reserve at
Daybreak Plat 4
