CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: November 5, 2018
AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of approval of a resolution approving the waiver of building
permit fees for Home Show Expo 2019.
FORMAT: Resolution
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: Earlier this year, it was announced that the 2019 Home
Show Expo will be located within the City of Waukee within the Reserve at
Daybreak Plat 1 development.
The developer has requested that the City Council consider a waiver related to
building permit costs for those homes that will be included in the Home Show
Expo. The developer is expecting a minimum of six homes and a maximum
of ten homes that will be featured within the show.
The proposed request is consistent with prior requests that were made and
granted by the City of Waukee for the 2004 Home Show Expo and the 2011
Hubbell Green Living Home Show. The proposed waiver would only apply
to the building permit fees. All connection fees and meter fees would still be
required to be paid.
It is staff’s position that the proposed Home Show Expo will benefit the City
of Waukee by virtue of the promotion of the Waukee community, related
traffic in the City which will benefit commercial and development sites as
well as advertising and event promotion which will promote the benefits and
opportunities offered within Waukee.
FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: $25,000. It is estimated that the
value of the building permit waiver is approximately $2,500 with a total
number of ten waivers provided.
COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT:
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff would recommend approval of the resolution.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution.
