COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning Commission
reviewed this request on September 27, 2016 and recommended approval subject to remaining

Approval of a revised Preliminary Plat for the Shops at Kettlestone North Plat 1.
Senior City Planner Andy Kass introduced the request by the applicant, ARAC, llc, for a
revised preliminary Plat for The Shops at Kettlestone North Plat 1. Mr. Kass advised that the
revised Preliminary Plat would include a total of 13 lots and 5 outlots. Lots 1, 2, and 3 are
intended for commercial retail office development and Lots 4-13 are intended for single
family residential development. The commercial/retail lots will range in size from 2.03 to 2.54
acres and the lots intended for single-family residential will conform with the allotted
Kettlestone specific R-2 and Planned Development Overlay Districts to allow 60 foot wide lot
width and size ranging from 8,113 to 12,044 square feet. This is a change from the previously
approved preliminary plat for the property that showed 16 lots for commercial development.
Mr.Kass stated 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 and 5 foot sidewalks will be provided
along all streets. An existing 10 foot wide trail is located on the east and west sides of Grand
Prairie Parkway and a 10 foot wide trail will be constructed on the east side of SE Parkview
Crossing Drive to SE Esker Ridge Drive.
Mr. Kass advised that all utilities will be extended to all lots and are proposed to be public for
the entire plat. Lots off of Grand Prairie Parkway will be serviced by the existing 24 inch
main and lots 4-13 will be provided sanitary sewer and water from SE Tallgrass Lane. The
remaining outlots will be provided with sanitary sewer and water as they develop. 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 and additional detention will be
constructed as part of the plat improvements in the southwest corner of the subject property.
This pond will not be owned by the city, rather by an Association for the development.
At this time staff feels comfortable with the proposal and would recommend approval of the
revised preliminary plat for the shops at Kettlestone North Plat 1 subject to remaining staff
comments.
Commissioner Streit clarified that the big difference was the switch to part of the subject
property being used for Single- Family residential development. Mr. Kass agreed to that
statement.
Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if the small greenspace was for parkland dedication. Mr.
Kass advised that yes it was the required parkland dedication of 0.18 acre that would tie in to
other development offered parkland in the surrounding area to equal around 5 acres.
Commissioner Schmidt clarified that the park would be considered a neighborhood park and
not a regional park. Director of Development Services, Brad Deets, advised that was a correct
statement.
Commissioner Hoifeldt moved to approve the request for a revised Preliminary Plat for The
Shops at Kettlestone North Plat 1 subject to any remaining staff comments. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Schmidt. Ayes: Fontenot, Streit, Hoifeldt, Shanks, and Schmidt.
Nays: none. Motion Carries.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: At this time a majority of staff comments have been
addressed. Staff recommends approval subject to remaining staff comments.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution
