(G) Presentations:
1) Iowa League of Cities 2017 legislative priorities – Presentation made by Iowa League of
Cities Government Affairs Manager Linsey McCune.
(H) Public Hearings:
1) On an ordinance to amend Chapter 301, Zoning Ordinance, City of Waukee, Iowa, by
rezoning and changing certain property therein from C-1 to R-3/PD-1, a property to be
referred to as Waukee Central Multi-Family – Mayor Peard opened the public hearing and
asked if any written correspondence had been received; City Clerk Schuett replied in the positive,
noting several letters in opposition to the rezoning application that were included in the agenda
packet or emailed to the mayor and council members. Development Services Director Deets
briefly reviewed the rezoning application, which would allow for the construction of two multi-
family buildings with a total of 114 units and three detached garage units. The apartments are
planned as rentals. The proposed planned development (PD-1) would allow for a greater
number of units; in exchange, the applicant has proposed a product with higher architectural
standards than would be required. Applicant Luke Jensen with The Jensen Group addressed the
council, stating that the proposed apartment buildings would contain mostly 1-bedroom units with
some 2-bedroom units. He believes the zoning is logical for the property, would provide a living
solution for a growing demographic, and would provide a high-quality product with long-term
maintenance benefits. Council Member Lyon asked about the target demographic and the rental
price point; Mr. Jensen replied that the demographic would serve a post-college work force
looking to live on their own and while he did not have a price point, he referenced a similar
product in Ankeny renting for $850/month for one bedroom and $1050/month for two bedrooms.
He added that the development proposed for Waukee would have fewer amenities than his
company’s Ankeny project, which could impact the price point. Council Member Bergman asked
if housing for this particular demographic was sustainable in the long-term; Mr. Jensen noted that
1-bedroom units have been neglected over the last 15 years and his company was looking to fill
that void. Council Member Hughes asked if higher-end finishes would be carried throughout the
interior; Mr. Jensen briefly reviewed some of the planned finishes, noting the intent of an urban
feel for the project. Council Member Hughes asked for clarification on the garages; Mr. Jensen
answered that there were 40 enclosed garage spaces planned. Council Member Peterson asked
if the units would be market rate; Mr. Jensen replied in the affirmative. Council Member Peterson
2
then asked if the developer had secured financing for the project; Mr. Jensen stated that the
financing could not be secured until the project was approved by the council. Council Member
Lyon requested a summary of the major points of contention made at the Planning & Zoning
Commission meeting; Mr. Deets answered that residents in attendance were concerned with the
use, increased traffic, and the fact that the units would be rentals.
Mayor Peard invited public comment on the matter: 1) Michael Austin, 110 SE Westgate Dr.,
introduced himself as a representative of the homeowners within the 200-foot notification
perimeter. He presented the council with a petition objecting to the rezoning application which,
along with the previously submitted letters of objection, includes 100% of the residents he
represents. Mr. Austin reviewed several concerns with the rezoning application, including
deficient parking for the number of units, higher density, and an understanding by the
surrounding residents that the property was and would remain commercially zoned. He
disagreed with a comment made at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting that the property
would be difficult to develop as commercial, citing a similar area off Hickman Rd. in Clive that
included commercial development. Mr. Austin stated that the applicant had received consenting
signatures from owners of 78% of the surrounding property, but that those signature were from
two large property owners and not from any of the area residents most impacted by the rezoning.
He requested that if the property must be rezoned to R-3, that it be strictly held to the
requirements of that zoning district and not include a PD-1 overlay. Council Member Bergman
restated that Mr. Austin’s first preference would be to maintain the current zoning, with a second
preference for a strict R-3 zoning; Mr. Austin responded in the affirmative. 2) Pam Root, 1005
Collins Dr., stated that she did not own her property in the mobile home park, but was concerned
about the proposed rezoning, specifically with the potential of people wandering into her yard.
She added that she understood the need for progress but that she liked the “old Waukee.” 3)
Martin Swartz, 555 SE Laurel St., Unit #15, thanked Mr. Austin for his work on the matter
because residents were not given much advance notice regarding the hearing. He shared Mr.
Austin’s concerns, adding that there would also be a negative impact on those residents outside
the 200-foot notification area, such as increased traffic. He noted that he purchased his property
10 years ago with the understanding that the subject property would be developed as commercial
and that he may not have made the purchase had he known the property would be developed
with high-density multi-family units. Mayor Peard asked about the notification requirements; Mr.
Deets reviewed the requirements, stating that all deadlines were met as part of this particular
rezoning application and that staff does not mail out notices until after the council has approved
the public hearing date. Council Member Peterson asked about parkland dedication for the
property; Mr. Deets noted that the parkland dedication ordinance stands alone and that such
details are decided after the project moves forward. Council Member Peterson expressed
concern that there would not be play space for children living in the proposed units. 4) Tom
Neuser, 555 SE Laurel St., Unit #17, also echoed the concerns stated by others who had
addressed the council. He asked about the square footage proposed for the units; Mr. Jensen
answered that the 1-bedroom units would be approximately 625 square feet and the 2-bedroom
units around 850 square feet. Mr. Neuser voiced his concern about the number of people
allowed to occupy units of that size; Mr. Deets replied that the building code restricts the number
of occupants per unit based on bedroom size. Mr. Neuser wondered about landscaping along
SE Westgate Dr.; Mr. Deets reviewed the minimum landscape buffer requirements. Mr. Neuser
asked if the developer had conducted a traffic study; Mr. Deets replied in the negative, adding
that a traffic signal and other improvements were planned by the City for the SE Westgate Dr./SE
Hickman Rd. intersection. Mr. Neuser followed up his question by asking if the developer would
conduct a traffic study; Mr. Deets answered that the developer was not required to do so but that
the council has the authority to require a traffic study if they see fit to do so. 5) Larysa Fricke,
530 SE Westgate Dr., stated that she had purchased her home two months prior. She stated
that she had previously lived in an apartment in Altoona and it was a “disaster” due in part to loud
neighbors. She added that she would not have considered purchasing her home had she known
that apartments would be built on the subject property. 6) Ann Clinton, 115 SE Westgate Dr.,
asked if there were other areas in Waukee with this type of density; Mr. Deets cited the Autumn
Ridge development and several areas in the Kettlestone District that would allow such density.
Ms. Clinton noted that those projects were not in established neighborhoods and asked the
council to consider lowering the density of the proposed project if it were to move forward. She
3
added that although the hearing notices were sent legally, she did not believe they were sent
ethically because neighbors were not given enough opportunity to voice their concerns.
2) On an ordinance to amend Chapter 301, Zoning Ordinance, City of Waukee, Iowa, by
rezoning and changing certain property therein from A-1 to K-RC, a property known as
The Shops at Kettlestone North Plat 2 – Mayor Peard opened the public hearing and asked if
any written correspondence had been received; City Clerk Schuett replied in the negative.
Development Services Director Deets briefly reviewed the rezoning application, noting that the
property was under contract to be purchased by the property owner to the west. There is no
concept plan for the subject property, as the rezoning request relates to access management.
The current residential use of the subject property is inconsistent with long-range plans for the
area. No comments were made by the public present.
(I) Public Hearing Action Items:
1) Ordinance: Consideration of approval of an ordinance to amend Chapter 301, Zoning
Ordinance, City of Waukee, Iowa, by rezoning and changing certain property therein from
C-1 to R-3/PD-1, a property to be referred to as Waukee Central Multi-Family [introduction;
first reading] – Council Member Hughes introduced the ordinance and moved to approve the
first reading in title only; seconded by Council Member Harrison. Council Member Hughes stated
that she struggled with the rezoning request, as she believes multi-family residential fits the
property but does not agree with the proposed density. Referencing a comment made during the
public hearing regarding commercial zoning on similar lots in Clive, Council Member Hughes
noted that many of the units in that area are vacant. She understands there is a need for the
type of units proposed, but empathizes with the neighbors who believed the property would
develop as commercial. Applicant Luke Jensen with The Jensen Group addressed the council on
some concerns mentioned during the public hearing, stating that here are 207 parking spaces
proposed, but that number could be reduced to increase the amount of green space. Regarding
traffic, Mr. Jensen stated that commercial and multi-family traffic patterns are very similar, if not
slightly lower for multi-family development. He added that the proposed 1- and 2-bedroom units
are not especially dense for this project. Council Member Lyon disagreed that multi-family was a
good fit for this property. He stated that he would vote in favor of the first reading of the
ordinance, but that he would ask questions of City staff regarding the project and may not vote in
favor of the second or third readings. Council Member Harrison also voiced concern with the
proposed density, stating that there is a need for such a project but maybe not at the proposed
location. He noted that he would also vote in favor of the first reading, but also may not support
the application at subsequent readings. He agreed with a comment made during the public
hearing that the timing of notice to surrounding property owners was unethical when there were
two major holidays during that timeframe. Mayor Peard took offense to Council Member
Harrison’s use of the word “unethical”; Council Member Harrison replied that it was not thoughtful
that notices were mailed when they were. Council Member Peterson noted that it was not an
easy decision but that two more readings would take place. Notice was made in accordance with
the rules. He added that he would vote in favor of the first reading, as it would be shortsighted to
vote against it now without further research on the matter. Results of vote: Ayes: Bergman,
Harrison, Lyon, Peterson. Nays: Hughes. Motion carried 4 – 1.
2) Ordinance: Consideration of approval of an ordinance to amend Chapter 301, Zoning
Ordinance, City of Waukee, Iowa, by rezoning and changing certain property therein from
A-1 to K-RC, a property known as The Shops at Kettlestone North Plat 2 [introduction; first
reading] – Council Member Lyon introduced the ordinance and moved to approve the first
reading in title only; seconded by Council Member Bergman. Results of vote: Ayes: Bergman,
Harrison, Hughes, Lyon, Peterson. Nays: None. Motion carried 5 – 0.
(J) Action Items

by Council Member Lyon. Results of vote: Ayes: Bergman, Harrison, Hughes, Lyon, Peterson.

January 11, 2017
A. Call to Order – The special meeting of the Waukee City Council was called to order by City
Administrator Moerman at 5:00 p.m. at Waukee City Hall, 230 W. Hickman Rd.

of the mayor and mayor pro tem; seconded by Council Member Bergman. Results of vote: Ayes:
Bergman, Harrison, Lyon. Nays: None. Absent: Hughes. Motion carried 3 – 0 – 1.
B. Roll Call – The following members were present: Council Members Anna Bergman, Brian Harrison,
Larry R. Lyon. Absent: Mayor William F. Peard, Council Member Shelly Hughes. (Council Member
Hughes arrived at 5:03 p.m. Council Member Bergman left at 6:00 p.m.)
Also in attendance: City Administrator Tim Moerman, Finance Director Linda Burkhart, Development
Services Director Brad Deets, Public Works Director John Gibson, Assistant Public Works Director of
Engineering Rudy Koester, Community and Economic Development Director Dan Dutcher, Parks and
Recreation Director Matt Jermier, Human Resource Director Patty Holden, Marketing and
Communications Director Summer Evans, Police Sgt. Jeremy Long, City Clerk Rebecca D. Schuett.
C. Agenda Approval – Council Member Lyon moved to approve the agenda, tabling items D3 and D4
until the January 16, 2017, regular meeting; seconded by Council Member Bergman. Results of vote:
Ayes: Bergman, Harrison, Lyon. Nays: None. Absent: Hughes. Motion carried 3 – 0 – 1.
D. Action Items:
1) Motion: Consideration of receipt and file of letter from Rick Peterson resigning from the
Waukee City Council effective January 6, 2017 – Council Member Lyon moved to receive and
file the letter; seconded by Council Member Bergman. Results of vote: Ayes: Bergman, Harrison,
Lyon. Nays: None. Absent: Hughes. Motion carried 3 – 0 – 1.
2) Motion: Consideration of a motion directing City staff to proceed with either election or
appointment process to fill a vacant seat on the Waukee City Council – Council Member Lyon
moved to approve; seconded by Council Member Bergman. (Council Member Hughes arrived at
5:03 p.m.) Council Member Lyon expressed the hope that the council could accomplish interviews
relatively quickly, at a minimum inviting those residents who had applied in 2016 for a different
vacant council position. Council Member Bergman agreed to invite the previous applicants to
interview, with the option to make the appointment at that same meeting in order to make any
decision quickly but thoughfully. She supported keeping open the possibility of inviting additional
residents to interview, but noted that the list of previous applicants was a good starting point.
Council Member Hughes stated that, while the list was a good starting point, she did not want to
discourage anyone new from applying. Council Member Bergman responded that the council
could interview those on the list first, then have an additional meeting to consider other candidates,
if needed. Council Member Hughes expressed concern with limiting the pool of potential
candidates to the list of previous applicants; Council Member Bergman suggested using the time
before interviews to see if there are any other interested residents. Council Member Hughes
suggested the previous applicants resubmit a letter of interest. Council Member Harrison
wondered if there was a person on the list that the council could agree upon without holding
interviews. Council Member Lyon asked if the council priority was speed or appointing someone
who was interested in the position; Council Member Hughes replied that another important
consideration was appointing someone who will make good decisions. City Administrator
Moerman reminded the council that there was less than a year remaining on the unexpired term
and that other interested residents would have the opportunity to run for council during regular city
elections. Council Member Harrison stated that he was comfortable selecting someone from the
list of previous applicants without going through the application process used in 2016. The council
directed City staff to contact the previous applicants to see if they are interested in being
considered for appointment; that information will help the council to decide the process. Council
2
Member Lyon amended the motion to direct staff to proceed with the appointment process to fill
the vacant seat; Council Member Bergman amended the second. Results of vote: Ayes: Bergman,
Harrison, Hughes, Lyon. Nays: None. Motion carried 4 – 0.
