Motion to Approve a Preliminary Plat for I-80 West Industrial Park
City Planner Andy Kass, introduced the request, made by applicant 117 Land Company, LLc, for
approval of a preliminary Plat for a commercial and light industrial subdivision. The area is question is
approximately 22.56 acres is size and is generally located south of I-80 and west of R-22/ Ute Avenue.
Mr. Kass advised that recently the Subject property was approved for rezoning from A-1 to M-1 and
C-1 in March. Currently the rezoning is pending the third reading of the City Council scheduled for
May 1st, having passed the last two readings.
Mr. Kass stated that a total of 6 lots have been identified for light industrial and commercial
development and range from 1.47 acres to 6.02 acres. The preliminary plat identifies one street,
Interstate parkway, that will be extended from R-22 to the west plat boundary with the intention of
continuing the street with further western development should it occur. The street will be 31 feet wide
with 8 inch thick pavement and a 70 foot right of way. The size is due to the zoning requirements and
the type of traffic expected in the area. A left turn lane is provided at the intersection of R-22 and a
deceleration lane will also be provided off of r-22 for southbound traffic into the development.
Mr. Kass stated that no trails are proposed as part of plat improvements, however 5 foot wide
sidewalks will be constructed on both sides of the street as individual lots develop. Parkland dedication
is not required for industrial or commercial developments.
Mr. Kass explained that utilities will be extended to service the proposed plat. Sanitary sewer is
proposed to be extended by a 6 inch force main bored under interstate 80 and a lift station constructed
south of the proposed development. A 12 inch water main will be bored under interstate 80 and run
along the west lot line of Lot 4 and then along the north side of Interstate parkway to provide water
service to the lots. Storm water detention will need to be provided for each lot as it develops. There are
potential detention locations identified on the preliminary plat for each lot as well as some temporary
detention and sediment base locations with the ultimate outlet for storm sewer in the south east corner
of lot 3.
At this time Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat for I-80 West Industrial Park subject
to remaining staff comments.
• Commissioner Stonebrooke questioned what the timing was on the street construction.
Applicant representative, Erin Ollendike, advised that construction of the public improvements
would start this year.
• Commissioner Stonebrooke commented that he had seen some of the ground being moved.
Mr. Kass advised that the City allows grading and site preparation at the Developers risk.
• Commissioner Schmidt questioned about the current business, Rube’s Steakhouse, and their
current utilities. Mr. Kass advised that more than likely, the current businesses used Septic
sanitary utilities and Xenia provided water. Commissioner Schmidt questioned if the
businesses would be required to connect to the new utilities. Mr. Kass advised that if they
were to come into the city limits, connection to city service would be required, and the WRA
would require grease trap installation.
• Commissioner Schmidt questioned about the annexations to the south. Mr. Kass advised there
is no plan to initiate the annexation of those properties into the city at this time.
• Commissioner Broderick questioned what was to the south of the proposed site. Mr. Kass
advised that there is a storage facility, a motel, and a single family residence located south of
the site.
• Commissioner Schmidt questioned if there would be street parting allowed. Mr. Kass advised
that no street parking would be allowed on Interstate Parkway.
• Commissioner Shanks questioned if the Lift station was in the City Limits. Mr. Kass advised
that it was technically south of the city limits. Commissioner Broderick questioned if it would
still need to conform to City Code. Mr. Kass advised that the City would be building the lift
station, and that the lift station itself does not need to be in the city, just the development that it
serves and is located in.
Commissioner Schmidt moved to approve a preliminary plat for I-80 West Industrial Park subject to
all remaining staff comments and review of legal documents. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Streit. Ayes: Stonebrook, Streit, Broderick, Shanks, and Schmidt. Nays: None. Motion
Carries.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
LOTS
The preliminary plat identifies a total of 6 lots for light industrial and commercial development. Lots 1 and 6 are
intended for commercial development and range in size from 1.47 acres to 2.75 acres. Lots 2, 3, 4, and 5 are intended
for light industrial development and range in size from 2.48 acres to 6.02 acres.
STREETS AND TRAIL
The preliminary plat identifies one street that will be extended as part of this project. Interstate Parkway will be
extended from R-22 to the west plat boundary. A temporary turnaround will be installed which will be removed once
the street is extended as part of future development to the west. Interstate Parkway is considered a minor collector
street. The preliminary plat identifies a 70 foot right-of-way and a 31 foot wide street with 8-inch thick pavement. At the
intersection with R-22 the pavement is 37 feet wide to allow for a left turn lane. A decel lane off of R-22 is provided for
incoming southbound traffic into the development – which is similar to what has been done for previous developments
further to the north off of R-22.

both sides of the street as the individual lots develop.

UTILITIES
Utilities will be extended to service the proposed plat as part of the plat improvements. In order to provide sanitary
sewer to the proposed development a 6-inch force main will be bored from the north under Interstate 80 and a lift
station will be constructed south of the proposed development. An 8-nch sanitary sewer will be extended through the
development and will gravity flow down to the lift station which will then pump the sewage to the north.
A 12-inch water main will be bored under Interstate 80 and extended to the property. An additional 12-inch water main
will connect to the water main that is being bored from the north under Interstate 80, this water main will run along the
west lot line of Lot 4, and then on the north side of Interstate Parkway to provide water service to the lots.
Storm water detention will need to be provided for each lot as each lot is developed. The preliminary plat identifies
potential detention locations for each lot. The preliminary plat does identify some temporary detention and sediment
basin locations on Lots 2, 3, 4, and 5. The ultimate outlet for the storm sewer system is the southeast corner of Lot 3.
PARKLAND:
Parkland dedication is not required for industrial or commercial developments.
