Approval of a Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and Site Plan for Ferrees Addition Plat 2 [Kum and Go #1202, 650 W Hickman Road] Senior Planner Andy Kass introduced the request for approval of a Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and site plan made by applicants Kum & Go, L.C. and Heartland Co-Op, in order to construct a Kum & Go convenience store. The subject property is 3.82 acres and is located south of Hickman Road and west of 6th Street and is currently owned and utilized by Heartland Co-op for grain and material storage. Mr. Kass advised that the proposed site would include Lot 1 consisting of 2 acres and is the proposed site for the development of the Convenience store, and an Outlot Z which will be intended for future commercial development. The Development would include a 6,210 square foot Kum and Go convenience store and fueling area with a canopy and 6 fuel pumps. An outdoor seating area is proposed on the east side of the building and the trash enclosure for the site is located just west of the building. All existing buildings on the property will be demolished as part of the site improvement with the exception of several grain bins on the south side of the site which will remain on a temporary basis until Heartland Co-op no longer requires the storage. Mr. Kass advised that access to the site will be provided off of Hickman road and Elm Street. The two access points off of Hickman Road are subject to approval by the Iowa Department of Transportation. The far west access is a proposed full access and the east access is a proposed right-in/ right out access. The access off of Elm Street will be a full access. Elm Street will also be paved for a short extension with extended paving as Outlot Z develops. The site plan identified a total of 32 parking spaces and bicycle parking is proposed on the east side of the building. Mr. Kass explained that a 5 foot wide side walk will be constructed along 6th street. A connection into the site from the public side walk has been provided as well. All utilities are available to the site and storm water detention will be provided by the dry bottom detention pond proposed to be located on the west side of the development. Mr. Kass advised that all open space and landscaping meets ordinance and Staff requirements. At this time staff is comfortable with the site plan and would recommend approval of the preliminary plat, and final plat for Ferrees Addition Plat 2 and the site plan for Kum and Go #1202, subject to remaining staff comments. • Commissioner Streit questioned where Elm Street currently goes. Mr. Kass advised that Elm Street is currently a dead end, it is a public street because there are areas that need access, and future plans would keep it a dead end street. Commissioner Streit questioned if access would just be from Elm Street for the Outlot. Mr. Kass advised that there would be a secondary access with western development. • Commissioner Shanks questioned what the diagonal cut through was. Development services director Brad Deets, advised that it is a railway easement, but that currently the City owns the property. There are stipulations that the railroad could place tracks in that easement if they were to ever have the need, however the current plan is to extend the trail up to the trail head with western expansion. • Commissioner Hoifeldt stated that he was disappointed that there were no architectural elements that hinted to the history of the area. Mr. Deets advised that Staff is working with the applicant to incorporate joint signage to bring visibility to downtown Waukee off of Hickman Road. Commissioner Hoifeldt moved to approve the final plat for Ferrees Addition Plat 2 subject to any remaining staff comments. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Shanks. Ayes: Stonebrook, Streit, Hoifeldt, and Shanks. Nays: None. Motion Carries. STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: At this time all staff comments have been addressed related to the final plat.
