The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat at their meeting on

Motion to approve a preliminary plat for The Shops at Kettlestone North
Senior City Planner Andy Kass introduced the applicant, Arac llc, who is requesting the approval
of a preliminary plat for the 83 acres located to the East and West of Grand Prairie Parkway.
Mr.Kass recollected the Recent Commission recommendation for the rezoning of the area from
A-1 and PD/C-4 to K-RC (Kettlestone Retail Community District) and K-OF ( Kettlestone Office
District). The City Council has approved the first and second reading of the request with the third
and final reading slotted for the next regularly scheduled Council meeting.
Mr. Kass explained that the preliminary plat includes 16 lots and 2 out lots. Lots 1-13 and 16 are
intended for commercial/retail development and Lots 14 and 16 are intended for office
development. All proposed lots are in conformance with the Kettlestone specific zoning districts.
Mr. Kass described that a number of streets will be extended throughout the plat from adjacent
subdivisions. SE Esker Ridge Drive will be extended from the west plat boundary to Grand
Prairie Parkway and across to the east plat boundary. SE Parkview Crossing Drive will be
extended from the north down to Ashworth Road. SE Tallgrass Lane will be extended from the
west plat boundary to Grand Prairie Parkway. All streets are collector streets with pavement
widths of 29 feet and 31 feet. Street trees will be provided along all streets. Five foot wide
sidewalks will be constructed on both sides of all streets. An existing 10 foot wide trail is located
on the east and west sides of Grand Prairie Parkway.
Mr. Kass advised that several easements are proposed within the plat based upon the location of
proposed utilities. In addition, to easements for utilities the preliminary plat identifies proposed
ingress/egress easements to provide access to the proposed lots. A 25 foot landscape buffer
easement will be required along the west plat boundary to provide screening from the adjacent
residential development.
Mr. Kass explained that utilities will be extended to all lots. All utilities within the plat are
proposed to be public. Lots on the east side of Grand Prairie Parkway will utilize the existing 24-
inch sanitary sewer. The remaining lots will provided with sanitary sewer that will be extended by
the applicant. Storm water in this plat will be detained in the existing regional detention pond that
was constructed by the City of Waukee located on the northeast side of the site. Additional
detention will be constructed as part of the plat improvements in the southwest corner of the site.
This pond will not be owned and maintained by the City, but rather by an association for the
development.
• Commissioner Schmidt asked for a description of improvements done to Ashworth
provided with this project. Senior Planner Andy Kass advised that there would not be any
significant improvements. A turn lane will be provided. Director of Development
Services Brad Deets added that no one had identified when Ashworth Road will be seeing
improvements, as there are some other street maintenance that is taking up the budget at
the moment. The developers will be required to sign a waiver and petition to provide
benefits and assessments and will have to pay their share when Ashworth Road is
widened by the City.
• In response to Commissioner Schmidt’s question regarding the size of the pond on lot 16,
Developer Chris Thompson, a representative of the applicant, advised that the pond is no
more than 3 acres in size and is viewed as a wet bottomed, full retention pond.
• Commissioner Nigro voiced a concern about the traffic of Ashworth Road, questioning
what would be the limit before hitting capacity for the roads current size. Mr. Deets
advised that it is in the capital improvements and will eventually be placed at the top of
the list, however, budget and other major projects, such as Alice’s Road, are taking
precedence at the current moment. He advised that West Des Moines is starting to widen
their part of Ashworth and that the city is going to pick up the project for their own part,
but that right now there is not a time frame for that particular project.
• Commissioner Shanks verified that everything west to the Preliminary plan was zoned for
a Single Family Residence. Mr. Kass advised that, for the most part, the area west of the
proposal was all single family residence. Commissioner Shanks continued to question as
to what would be the most likely access point used to enter Lot 16. Mr. Kass advised that
Willowbrook Drive would be extended down through the Kettlestone Ridge Phase, a
return would be placed for access. With it being visible from Ashworth, the visibility and
access is something that has been acknowledged as a small hindrance.
• Commissioner Streit questioned what was planned to be built on the rest of Lot 16. Mr.
Kass advised that it would be some type of medium density but that at the moment it was
resident occupied.
• Commissioner Schmidt questioned if Grand Prairie Parkway would cross Ashworth and
Mr. Kass advised that eventually the two would connect.
With no other questions Commissioner Schmidt moved to approve the Preliminary Plat for The
Shops at Kettlestone North subject to remaining staff comments and review of all legal
documents by the City Attorney. Commissioner Streit seconded the motion. Ayes: Nigro, Streit,
Broderick, Hoifeldt, Shanks, and Schmidt. Nays: none. Motion carried.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: A majority of staff comments have been addressed and
staff is confident that the remaining comments will be addressed prior to
the Council meeting. Staff would recommend approval of the
preliminary plat for The Shops at Kettlestone North subject to remaining
staff comments.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution.

67. Please note that the City of Waukee Standard Specifications requires a maximum of 400’ spacing
between intakes. Please revise plans to comply with this requirement.
Engineers Response:
68. Provide sanitary service for lots 1 & 4. Sanitary services should be provided off of manholes.
Manholes were oversized to allow for inside drop connections. Please revise. The 24-inch
sanitary sewer along Grand Prairie Parkway is over 20 feet deep in some areas. The
manholes for the sewer were oversized to allow for internal drop connections. The
intention is to have all sewer services connect to a shallower main that would ten drop
into the oversized manholes to avoid excavating great depths near the road and
connecting services to a 24-inch sanitary main. The City will require that services be
provided off of the manholes.
