The plat consists of twelve lots intended for the development of apartment buildings. FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request on April 26, 2016 and recommended approval subject to remaining staff comments and review of the legal documents by the City Attorney. MOTION: APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR ALICE PATRICIA HOMES, APPROVAL OF A FINAL PLAT FOR ALICE PATRICIA HOMES, AND APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN FOR ALICE PATRICIA HOMES City Planner Melissa DeBoer advised that the three motions of the Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and Site Plan would be voted on as individual motions at the end of the Staff Report which summarized the information for all three motions. Mrs. DeBoer described that the project involves the construction of 12 apartment buildings with a total of 288 units for the entire site. Each apartment building will consist of 24 units. Each building is just over 10,000 square feet in size. Each building has 12 – two bedroom units at 990 square feet and 12 – three bedroom units at 1,225 square feet. The project also consists of a clubhouse building and pool as well as several garage buildings located throughout the site, for a total of 288 garage stalls with an additional 457 spaces for surface parking. Mrs. DeBoer advised that three access points to the site are proposed. One located off of NE Alice’s Road, one on the south side of the site off of NE Boston Parkway, and one on the north side of the site off of NE Dellwood Drive. There is a main access drive running from north to south through the entire site from NE Dellwood Drive to NE Boston Parkway. A 5 foot wide sidewalk along the south side of NE Dellwood Drive will be constructed as part of phase 1 of this project. A future 10’ wide shared use path is proposed on these plans on the north side of NE Boston Parkway. A 10’ wide trail will be installed along Alice’s Road in the future. There is also a network of sidewalks provided throughout the entire site to allow for pedestrian movement from building to building throughout the complex. Sanitary sewer will be extended to the site from NE Dellwood Drive. Water will be provided to the site by extending the 12” water main from the south side of the property located just south of the site, all the way to the north plat boundary along Alice’s Road. Storm water will be managed with several detention ponds. Ponds located on the north half of the site will outlet to the north and the detention ponds located on the south half of the site will outlet to the south within the storm sewer easement on MidAmerican’s property. Mrs. DeBoer explained that a 25 foot landscape buffer easement is being provided along Alice’s Road and all Landscape and open space requirements are met. The site plan also includes a detail identifying how ground mounted mechanical units are to be screened. The proposed apartment buildings will be constructed with vinyl siding, cultured stone, and asphalt shingles. The applicant has proposed six different color schemes for the elevations of the buildings. The colors proposed are variations of beiges, grays, and blues. • Commissioner Hoifeldt pointed out that the Preliminary Plat showed Phasing for the buildings and questioned if the roads would be constructed continually throughout the process. Mrs. DeBoer advised that all roads and sidewalks would be constructed in the first phase and only the buildings would be coming in at separate phases. • Commissioner Schmidt questioned if the storm water drainage would travel back through the property to Alice’s Road, or if it would travel to the west. A Representative of the developers advised that they had plans to connect to Douglas via Alice’s Road and the South side of the property draining into a preexisting swale. • Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned why the entrance to the site does not line up with 284th lane. Development Services Director Brad Deets advised 284th is a private drive and the access points line up with the major city access points for Clive. • Commissioner Broderick questioned where the trash enclosures would be located and the Representative advised that they were located near the garages. Commissioner Broderick continued to question if there was any foreseeable issues with trucks being able to enter and collect the refuse. The representative that there was not any issues they could see, there are some tight corners and the dumpsters may have to be rolled out depending on the type of waste hauler used, but it is no different in size than any other apartment complex in the area. Commissioner Schmidt questioned the staff if the Fire Department of Waukee had any concerns with the lay out and Senior Planner Andy Kass advised that they had no concerns with maneuvering any equipment. • Commissioner Broderick questioned about the required park land dedication. Mr. Deets advised that the city is working with the applicant as there are already 2 established parks; an 18 acre to the west, and 3 acres to the north. The applicant has offered a cash payment to be used to maintain and improve the current park lands in lieu of actual parkland dedication. • Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if there would be fencing around the detention ponds, Mrs. Representative advised that not at this time. • Commissioner Streit questioned if the plans for this property had changed since the original rezoning. Mrs. Representative advised that there had been a lot of changes. The initial plan had buildings stacked one on top of the other and we were asked to create something more visually appealing. • Upon request of Commissioner Schmidt, the applicants did produce samples of the stone facing, shingles and siding options that they planned on using, in lieu of a materials board. Commissioner Schmidt moved to approve in the case of the Approval of a Final Plat for Alice Patricia Homes subject to any remaining staff comments and review of all legal documents by the City Attorney, which was seconded by Commissioner Broderick.
