CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: June 18, 2018
AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of approval of a resolution approving a final plat for Spring
Crest Townhomes
FORMAT: Resolution
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: Spring Crest Townhomes I, LLC, request approval of a
final plat for 6.38 acres of property located south of Hickman Road and east
of 10th Street. The plat consists of 48 lots and one (1) outlot intended for
townhome development. The lots ranges in size from 1,575 square feet to
1,670 square feet. All utilities and streets within the development will be
privately owned and maintained.
FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning Commission
reviewed this request on May 22, 2018, and recommended approval subject to remaining
staff comments.
Approval of a Final Plat for Spring Crest Townhomes
Senior City Planner, Andy Kass, introduced the request made by the applicant Spring Crest Partners,
LLC. The subject property is generally located north of Cedar Street and east of 10th street containing
approximately 6.38 acres. The area was annexed in 2016, and is the only piece of development that has
not been re-platted to change the zoning.
Mr. Kass stated that the project identifies 48 townhomes divided between 12 buildings completed over
the course of 2 phases. Each unit will be platted as its own lot and is intended for sale. The units are
shown as being 1400 total square feet in size, two stories with 800 square feet on the main level. All
utilities have been expended to the site and storm water detention is provided in a pond on the north
side of the development and an existing pond to the southwest of the property. All utilities and ponds
will be owned privately and maintained by a homeowners association. All landscaping, parking, open
space, and lighting ordinances have been met.
At this time Staff recommends approval subject to remaining staff comments and review of the legal
documents.
Commissioner Streit questioned if there were any changes from the original proposal. Mr.
Kass advised that the commission was now looking over detailed architecture and site plans
instead of potential elevations and lay out, but there had been no changes.
Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned about the location of sidewalks and if there would be walks
to the front doors. Mr. Kass advised that there were interior sidewalks along both sides of 10th
J12
street, a 5 foot sidewalk on the north side of Cedar Street, and a Trail to the west of 10th street.
Cory Marsh, a representative of Snyder and associates, advised that there is a sidewalk from
the private drive to the sidewalks between each building for access to the front of the projects.
Jenny and Daryl Foulke, residents of 890 Cedar Street, advised that their property was the only
home that was situated with a side facing the development instead of a backyard. They stated
that when this project went through zoning it was stated that 10th street would have to be
constructed first, before any development. They also advised that the construction traffic
coming down Cedar Street is dangerous for their family, and has caused constant damage to
their property. The Foulke Family advised that there was a meeting with the original developer
that ended with the intention that a 4 foot berm with a fence would be provided to minimize
the impact of development on their home, and deter others from trespassing on their property.
Mr. Kass showed a close up of the grading submittal, under further inspection it does show
that the berm does continue past the property at 890 Cedar Street. He addressed the issue of
the additional fence, stating that the submittal did meet the required landscape buffer and
shows 55 feet from the joint property line to the development entries. He advised the
commission that the ordinance does not require a fence, but that doesn’t mean the commission
can’t make a recommendation or a stipulation to approval.
Mr. Kass continued that when the construction plans for Phases 3 and 4 of Spring Crest, it was
with the understanding that no houses can be built on those lots prior to 10th street being
constructed. City Staff is aware of the issues with construction traffic and try to mitigate as
best as possible. The Development agreement does contain a stipulation that the road is
complete by the end of October so both Spring Crest and the Deery Brothers Development are
highly motivated to complete this as soon as possible.
Commissioner Hoifeldt suggested a few ways to help mitigate the issues. Having the police
department crack down on the speeding vehicles in the area and talking with the developer to
wrangle in the trash.
Commissioner Streit questioned if there was a way to provide a temporary access to take the
traffic off of Cedar Street. Mr. Kass advised that the developer did not own the property to the
south so it was highly unlikely to be allowed.
Mr. Marsh advised that he would be willing to work to extend the landscaping provided to
deter new residents from trespassing and providing that buffer for the Foulkes.
Commissioner Streit made a motion to approve the Final Plat for Spring Crest Townhomes conditional
to developer working with staff to provide adequate east buffer. Commissioner Broderick seconded the
motion. Ayes: Ward, Streit, Broderick, Hoifeldt, and Martin. Nays: None. Motion Carries.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: all comments have been addressed. Staff recommends
approval.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution
