Approval of a Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and Site Plan for Hickman West Industrial Park Plat
4 [1110 SE Westbrooke Drive]
Waukee City Planner, Andy Kass, introduced the request by the applicant, Storage Space, LLC, for
approval of a Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and Site Plan for Hickman West Industrial Park Plat 4. Mr.
Kass advised that the subject property was platted as an out lot in 2015. Mr. Kass described the
proposed project which includes the construction of two, single story, self-storage buildings. The
building on the west side of the site is indicated as 8000 square feet in area and building on the east
side is indicated as being 12,120 square feet in area. Both buildings would be intended for vehicle and
boat storage.
Mr. Kass advised that the proposed buildings will be accessed via a shared access with the property to
the north off of SE Westbrooke Drive. A shared access easement between the two properties has been
provided on the Final Plat. Parking requirements for vehicle and boat storage is 1 space for every
50,000 square feet and the site plan proposes a total of 5 parking spaces.
Mr. Kass advised that a 5 foot sidewalk was previously extended along SE Westbrooke Drive when
the adjacent property was developed. Utilities are available on the site to service the proposed
buildings and storm water detention will be provided in a pond that will be located on the adjacent
property. Mr. Kass also stated that a 40 foot landscape buffer easement is provided on the south side
of the property.
At this time staff is comfortable with the site plan and would recommend approval of the preliminary
plat, final plat, and site plan.
• Commissioner Broderick questioned where the trash enclosure was located. Mr. Kass
advised that the trash for this project could be provided by the adjacent property as it
is owned and operated by the same company.
• Commissioner Nigro raised a question regarding the reason for this project to attach to
the trail. Dave Holmes, a representative for the applicant, advised that originally the
fire hydrant was proposed to be on the back of the property and that paved access was
required by the fire department. He also advised that the hydrant had been moved to
be proposed closer to the front of the project so the connection was not a necessity.
• Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if the area would be fenced and Mr. Holmes
advised that no fencing was proposed, but that a large berm did exist along the south
side of the property.
• Mr. Holmes also advised that, due to some structural aspects, he had a proposed
change to the elevation to run the light colored paneling to the base of the building
instead of having the accent color along the bottom edge. Commissioner Hoifeldt
questioned Mr. Kass if staff would be comfortable with that change. Mr. Kass advised
that as long as the accent color remained to break up the expanse of the building he
would be fine with the change. Mr. Holmes and Mr. Kass agreed to extend the accent
paneling color on the ends to match the size of the middle section and not have the
accent color along the bottom of the building.
• Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if project would be climate controlled. Mr. Holmes
advised not at this time.
• Commissioner Broderick raised a concern with the location of the parking spots in
relation to the access point. Mr. Holmes advised that the applicant had actually
widened the access to a 40 foot access to allow space for 2 fire trucks should the need
arise. Commissioner Broderick advised that would address his concern about the
ability to drive past the parking spots.
• Commissioner Nigro questioned if Mr. Holmes anticipated any overflow parking
issues with the sports complex on the adjacent property. Mr. Homes advised that he
did not have an issue with the over flow using the 5 spaces. Commissioner Hoifeldt
advised that he should anticipate that it wouldn’t be in just the spaces and suggested
that the applicant think about utilizing some signage to dictate private parking to avoid
any issues. Mr. Homes advised that he would take that into consideration.
• Commissioner Nigro clarified that the applicant did not wish to have the trail access
included. Another applicant from the joint owner of the sports complex advised that
they would like the access as they had a lot of bike traffic.
• Commissioner Broderick questioned Mr. Kass about the future bike path being
updated with the widening of Alice’s Road. Mr. Kass advised that with the widening
project a trail extension and connection would be added including a pedestrian
underpass for safety purposes.
• Mr. Kass addressed the Commission to advise if they would or would not be opposed
to the applicant removing the proposed trail access. Commissioner Nigro stated that he
strongly recommended that they removed the access. Commissioner Broderick agreed
with the statement that from a liability standpoint he would not want the public
convening at a storage unit especially with the berm that exists already.
A motion to approve the site plan for Hickman West Industrial Park Plat 4 with the recommendation
that the property not have a trail connection and subject to staff comments was made by Commissioner
Streit and seconded by Commissioner Hoifeldt. Ayes: Nigro, Streit, Broderick, Hoifeldt, and Shanks.
Nays: none. Motion Carries.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff recommends approval subject to remaining staff
comments.
