feet and conform to the Kettlestone specific zoning districts other than lot width. A planned
development was adopted to allow the single family lots to be 60 feet wide in lieu of the minimum lot
width of 65 feet in the r-2 district. out lot x is 0.18 acres in area and will be dedicated to the City of
Waukee to satisfy parkland dedication requirements. The remaining out lots are individually platted
and intended for future commercial or office development.
Mr. Kass advised that, as part of the initial phase of development, SE Tallgrass Lane will be extended
from the west to provide access to the single family lots. This extension will stop at the intersection
with SE Parkview Crossing Drive. Mr. Kass also explained that SE Parkview Crossing Drive to SE
Westtown Parkway is anticipated to be constructed in spring 2017 as part of the Kettlestone Heights
project to the north. Five foot wide sidewalks will be constructed along se tallgrass Lane as each lot
develops.
Mr. Kass explained that a 25 foot landscape buffer easement will be required along the east side of Lot

extending sanitary sewer and water main to the proposed single family lots along se tallgrass lane.

for The Shops at Kettlestone North Plat 1 subject to remaining staff comments, completion of public
improvements, and review of the legal documents by the City Attorney.

extension in Spring of 2017.
