(7)Mayor's Report:The minutes of November 5,2001 did not reflect the Mayor's comments
on commercial permits,which are down 50%and are down substantially from the last two years.
The Mayor also asked if the City needs to develop a policy to follow the IA DOT's rules on curb
cuts and construction procedures for crossings such as the bike trail,which was shut down for a
week.In effect,the policy would set forth the City's expectation that a copy of the IA DOT
permit would be submitted before the City's permit for non IA DOT right-of-way construction
would be granted.John Gibson indicated that we inspect the construction of exits and entrances
off Highway 6 even in the IA DOT right-of-way so as to maintain the integrity ofthe highway.
The Mayor would like a policy to reflect our expectations in this area on the next council agenda.

Coons,Art.J.Coons,William B.&Carolyn Chase,Robert E.&Kathie R.Carey and Dr.

(9)Public Hearing:On changing the names of Third Street,Locust Street and Windfield
Parkway to one common name,Windfield Parkway,and changing the numbering of Third Street
to reflect the existing Waukee numbering system The Mayor opened the public hearing.No
written comments were received.Three individuals expressed opinions prior to the meeting:two
against and one for the change.The Mayor indicated that he had really no objection to changing
Locust Street to Windfield Parkway but he had a problem with changing Third Street to
Windfield Parkway because it would be somewhat confusing and a burden on the homeowners
there.He feels that Third Street because it runs north and south,lines up with the Third Street
south of the tracks and is numbered according to the Waukee numbering system and,therefore,
would not need to be changed.He understands from the information provided that there may
12
have been some difficulty in locating an address on Third Street but he is fairly confident that
our EMS and Fire Department are aware of where Third Street changes from the north of the
railroad tracks to the south of the railroad tracks.John Gibson indicated that the police chief and
the fire chief had both requested the change from Third Street and Locust Street to Windfield
Parkway.Mary McCoige,Hannah Wiles and Francis Forret entered comments for the record
against changing Third Street to Windfield Parkway.Jane Coon,135 Windfield Parkway,
inquired as to whether the numbers would be changed on Windfield Parkway.They will not be
changed.Further discussion included locations of potential problem sites throughout the older
and newer parts of Waukee,future sites selected for proposed changes,reason for starting the
process of changing the street names now,when and how Windfield Parkway received its name,
difficulties and inconveniences of changing addresses.Mike Watts indicated he supported the
change of street name from Locust to Windfield Parkway but not the change of Third to
Windfield Parkway.Wayne Johnson inquired as to whether we were requiring all of the
north/south streets to be numbered in the newer developments in the future.Mark Arentsen
indicated that we weren't currently.John Gibson indicated the Fire Chief was probably the
driving force for the review of current street names and the changes proposed.His volunteers
are unfamiliar with the streets and do not drive them frequently enough to learn where they are.
The proposed change excluding Third Street was requested by the Mayor at the behest of a
citizen of the community.Nick Gruber indicated that because of the growth of the City we
should stick with the four quadrants.We have a zero grid and should go with the NE,SW,NW,
SE and place that designation on the streets.The Mayor indicated that the staff has been directed
to follow that designation in the newer portions of the City.The Mayor indicated that when
closing the public hearing he would ask the Council to support changing Locust Street to
Windfield Parkway and leaving Third Street alone.At this time the Mayor closed the public
hearing.
(lO)Resolution:Approving the changing of the names of Third Street,Locust Street and
Windfield Parkway to one common name,Windfield Parkway,and changing the numbering of
Third Street to reflect the existing Waukee numbering system Mike Watts moved to approve the
change in street name from Locust Street to Windfield Parkway and not change Third Street to
Windfield Parkway and not change the numbering of Third Street.Wayne Johnson second.Roll

(13)Resolution:Accepting Reap Grant Wayne Johnson gave the history of how this project
developed.
"This issue came before the park board.It started out with an initial interest to
allow Waukee to purchase some land to become a park.So the Park Board took
that as an unexpected gift and told the City that it was ok to seek a REAP Grant so
that the City could make an offer to the interested party.This is part of the
process where we put together the funding package that is necessary to acquire
the land.This is different from a private situation where the funding package is
put together and presented behind closed doors.There have been several other
meetings as part of this proposal.Mike Watts and I met with a particular property
owner regarding another issue.During these conversations the proposal for the
property in the REAP Grant came up.Discussions with the property owner
occurred.Issues such as condenmation were discussed.Wayne Johnson's
response to the landowner is the same as then.The City applied for the REAP
Grant to purchase the property concerned.We received an approval for a portion
of the properties out there.The REAP process is such that you have to define the
parameters of where you're going to purchase this land based on the parameters
given to you for that REAP Grant.It has to be understood that the REAP Grant
does not apply to all the property that the City could/could not make an offer on.
At that time all of this was unknown.We did receive an approval of the REAP
Grant for $100,000.The Park Board met last night.A lengthy discussion
occurred,in which the Board members had lots of opportunity to discuss with the
land owner his desire to not sell the property right now.Discussion also included
the repercussions,if any,of returning the REAP Grant without accepting it and
what direction the City is looking for park or bike trail expansion.The discussion
was not centered around condenmation.It was on the REAP Grant.During the
course ofthe discussion there was a serious allegation made by one of the board
members that two of the Board members had a conflict of interest regarding this.
That allegation was that two of the park board members live on Park View;
therefore,they have a conflict of interest because they are trying to get a bike trail
in the 25 foot right-of-way that would be between their property and where
University Avenue falls and that,therefore,they want to go after the Conn
property for that particular interest and that that is a conflict.If in fact this
allegation is true,I would ask the Mayor to remove me from the Park Board
because I am one of those individuals who lives on Parkview.During the
discussion it was suggested that the Board table the item.I as the Chairman
called for the vote because I did not feel the Board was a legislative board with
the power to withhold items from the Council but rather a recommending board
for issues submitted to the Council.The Board did take a vote.As the Chairman
of the Board I cannot vote and,therefore,did not vote on this issue.The other
15
person living on Parkview was not present and,therefore,did not vote on the
issue.The vote was to accept the REAP Grant Five members voted for the
acceptance of the REAP Grant.Two voted against.I hope that negotiations will
proceed.I do not feel that condenmation is the way to acquire the land unless the
use of that land is going to be gone forever and it is the City's last chance to take
a stab at it.But,the ability to negotiate is something I feel the City should pursue,
if at all possible."
The Mayor had two questions,one of which had to do with where University Avenue would lie,
if extended through to Sixth Street.Mik Briedis,Jolin Gibson and Wayne Johnson addressed
that question.It would lie approximately 50%on Kurt Schade's property and 50%on the
property to the south.It could be developed and meet all of the requirements necessary for its
construction.The second question dealt with the bike trail.Mr.Johnson indicated that he did
not want the REAP Grant associated with the Bike Trail.The Bike Trail can be negotiated with
the current owner or with any future owner and built on the existing sewer easement regardless
of whether the REAP Grant is accepted.The Mayor went on record as being concerned with
the acceptance of this grant because he foresees the possibility of using City funds on top of
State funds to pursue the purchase of this land and development of the park area when the
biggest area of need seems to be land for soccer,baseball,softball fields.The expenditure for
the above property might preclude or postpone the purchase of land for these recreational
activities.Jay Oxenford requested that this issue be returned to the Park Board because the
Board members were under the erroneous assumption that to decline this REAP Grant would
hinder the approval of any City request for funds in the future.Jay contacted a grant
administrator in the State to find out if turning down the REAP Grant at this time would effect
future awarding to the City.She indicated that future funding approval does not effect the
City's chances from year to year.She based her comment somewhat on there being different
people reviewing the grant applications each year.Mr.Johnson indicated that even after the
vote,Board members questioned if the funds could be turned down.Chad Weaver stated that
the funds can be returned to the State at any time because negotiations can fall through at any
time.Mr.Oxenford also indicated that Mr.Conn was at the Park Board meeting and at four
different times said he was not interested in selling his property.Mr.Johnson explained that in
his mind the issues of the REAP Grant and Mr.Conn selling his property are separate.Mr.
Johnson went on to say that the acceptance of the REAP Grant maintains the opportunity to
pursue the purchase of the property."If the City can't come to an agreement with Mr.Conn,it
never comes before the City Council to have a vote on whether to purchase his property.That
hasn't even started to occur yet much less anything nearing a condenmation proceeding."Mr.
Johnson stressed the need for the City to pursue all funding available to them so as not to absorb
the total cost of any project.Application and acceptance of the REAP Grant had to occur before
proceeding with further discussion of the acquisition ofland from Mr.Conn.Mike Watts
questioned whether the grant could be applied to any other piece of property.Mr.Johnson said
it was specific to this property and could only be changed in size or number of acres purchased.
Mr.Watts also inquired ofMr.Conn,ifhe stated at any time that he wanted to sell his property.
Mr.Conn said that he would sell all of his property but would not sell a portion of that property.
Mr.Arentsen said he had asked Mr.Conn about the sale of his property in two separate
instances.In both ofthose instances Mr.Conn indicated he would sell all of his property and
not a portion of it.Mr.Arentsen also asked for the price and was never given a price for the
property.In addition Mr.Conn indicated that at this time,he was not interested in selling any
16
of the property.Mr.Arentsen wanted to be sure the Council realized that in the comprehensive
plan the area between the library and St.Boniface is designated as a park.Mr.Watts indicated
that he felt future grants ofthis type should require a formal agreement between buyer and seller
prior to the submission of the grant application.Mr.Gunderson indicated that that might
require a real estate appraisal of the property meaning an investment of several thousand dollars
before submission of the grant where there isn't a guarantee that the grant would be awarded.
Mr.Gruber interjected that the grant should be accepted now and Mr.Peard moved to approve
the acceptance ofthe REAP Grant with no attachments.Before the Mayor asked for a second to
this motion,he indicated that Kurt Schade wanted to address the Council concerning his
property,which lies adjacent to Mr.Conn's property.Kurt Schade indicated that he came
before the Council as a very frustrated land owner and future potential developer trying to deal
with the City of Waukee.In 1994 Mr.Conn and his wife purchased13 acres ofland at the
comer of Ashworth and Warrior Lane and were planning to build a home on the acreage.At the
time the City administration had indicated that there wouldn't be any problem with sewer and
well inspection.Five years later when they were close to paying off the five year contract on
the property,they inquired of the current City administration to apply for the well and septic
permits and was told by the City that what he and his wife envisioned was not good long term
use of the land,which Mr.Schade indicated he does recognize now.Mr.Schade continued by
reading a letter to the Council explaining his unhappiness with the City of Waukee and the
reasons for that unhappiness.
Mr.Schade indicated that (I)he had sold the land to the Library at a reduced rate in a good faith
effort to benefit the City even though he hadn't any real intention to sell the land.He also
forgave an additional $12,500 at the time of closing;(2)In 1997 a contractor burying a sewer
line went through his property creating a clay hard pan area,which is eroding into the creek.He
asked the City to contact the contractor to correct the problem and was told the contractor and
the city had already signed off on the property.He was disappointed that lhe City had not'·
notified him to make sure everything was ok before the money was released;(3)Not able to
build on that land as per the City's request,Mr.Schade began to look at other ways to develop
this piece of property.His original goal was to create something that he could give to his three
sons in remembrance of him.In the Spring of2001,he formalized plans for the property and
presented those to the City.He and two other individuals,one an architect,visited with Mark
Arentsen and J ody Gunderson.Even though they sensed resistance on the part of the City to the
changes that were envisioned,they presented their plans to the Planning and Zoning Committee.
After receiving a favorable response from the committee and outside the door of the Council
Chambers they were met by J ody Gunderson who assured the three of them that to spend money
and time anticipating a change of zoning on this property was in his opinion a waste of money;
(4)In late spring as a result of water problems in the basement of the Catholic Church,water
was diverted down the ditch.Doing so has eroded the approach to Mr.Schade's property.Mr.
Schade asked John Gibson about the situation and was told that the City would put in a larger
tile to correct the problem.This has not been done.In September,when Mr.Gibson was
approached about this problem again he indicated that the City was going to make major
improvements to Warrior Lane and would be deferring the correction of the approach so that it
could be part of that project;(5)Mr.Schade was not notifed of the Park Board meeting even
though the meeting had a major impact on him because he owns some of the land being
discussed;(6)In addition after visiting with John Gibson about a hydrant on his ground,he was
told he would need a meter and should contact Bob McKinney to take care of it.According to
17
Mr.Schade,Mr.McKinney said that he was told that the installation of a hydrant on Mr.
Schade's property would now require a "fancy building with a light on it;"(7)Friday oflast
week,he was informed by Mark Arentsen that the City had received approval from the DNR to
pursue acquisition ofthe back part of his land.He informed Mr.Arentsen that perhaps he
should contact an attorney and was told that to do so was his prerogative;(8)He was not
informed that the Catholic Church was being built south of his property.He has since found out
that he couldn't do anything about the church being built next to him;however,the church once
built restricts what he can do with his property.He is very disheartened by the City's actions
and feels he can no longer trust the City.However,in closing if the City wants the back portion
of his property he wants to know if they are willing to pay what he feels the value of his
property is.He doesn't have any plans for the back portion of his grounds.
David Conn also indicated that he contacted the DNR about the grant and John Gibson's
statement that there would be no way the City could get a grant once they turned down this one.
Mr.Conn thinks the Park Board was swayed by that.Chad Weaver indicated that he had talked
with the same DNR representative after Mr.Conn had talked with him and found that you can
return the grant;however,it can negatively influence future grant applications in that
individuals are only human and view the return of a grant as a negative response rather than a
positive one.Mark Arentsen was asked what he thought the City should do and indicated that
the City should accept the grant.As a final question,Mayor Bailey asked whether the purchase
of the 80 acres for baseball/softball diamonds,soccer fields could replace the purchase ofthe
area for the park and bike trail.Chad Weaver indicated that the REAP Grant is from the
Resource Enhancement Protection program.The purpose of this program does not cover
athletic fields or improvements to grounds.It is meant to maintain the environment,to preserve
what is already present naturally and to enhance the natural surronndings for recreational
purposes.Turning in the $100,000 from this application would not benefit our chances to get a
grant for athletic fields because REAP does not fund those kinds of improvements.Mr.
Johnson described other grant applications for park and recreation improvements that Mr.
Weaver and Mr.Gunderson have pursued.Mr.Gruber indicated that he would prefer to be
cautious and discuss this issue further and seconded the motion made by Bill Peard to accept the
REAP Grant.Roll call:Ayes:Peard,Gruber,Johnson,Berger,Watts Nays:None.Motion
carried 5 -O.

(14)Resolution:Approving Concept Plan/or Triangle Redevelopment Mik Briedis gave an
update of the progress on Sixth Street and the Triangle Park Redevelopment.We have met with
the downtown property owners a couple of times and have expanded the scope of work to
include everything from Ashworth Drive to Locust Street as a single project and to do the area in
parts.The concept presented to the Council would have angle parking on the west side ofthe
roadway,parallel parking on the east side of the roadway and expanding Triangle Park by
approximately 80%.Currently there are about 6,300 sq.feet of park but by coming to the west
into Sixth Street and to the south,the square footage increases to 11,700 sq.feet.As part ofthe
initial project,the outlines of the park would be defined and reconstruction of Sixth Street would
take place.It would not include a major redevelopment of the park.The bump outs and the
intersections would be brick.The light standards for the downtown would enhance the theme of
the area.The center line of Sixth Street would bump over a little bit to the east in order to make
everything work.Whatever we do,the two blocks downtown would be consistent.Water and
electrical hook-ups would be included in the Park area for different events.Mr.Briedis indicated
that it would be good to begin discussing what the City would like to do within the park such as
location of flower beds,walkways,buildings.Development of the park itself would help give
direction as to where to lay a sprinkler system,ifthat were wanted.Joe Schmidt asked about the
sewer and water lines in terms of capacity and condition.Mr.Briedis indicated that review of
those pipes revealed that they were in good condition.Improvements would be mostly in
increasing the number of drainage areas and replacing a water main.Construction will take the.
better part of a season.The project will be split into a phased construction so that half of the
parking would be maintained at anyone time and access would be reduced to one side or the
other.It would be possible to include a no excuses early completion date incentive.This would
include liquidated damages $500 per day beyond the completion date.Mike Watts suggested
talking with the Co-op to determine if parking could take place east of their building during the
summer months.If so,this would help to alleviate some of the parking shortage in the
downtown area during construction.Mark Arentsen indicated the City would pursue his
suggestion.Mik Briedis said they would anticipate how a contractor would work on the project
and construct the time frame around that so as to avoid setting an unrealistic completion date.
Ron Olson asked about improving Walnut Street.That street is not included in this project;but
will be reviewed for future projects.Mr.Paul Huscher requested that the angle of parking in
Adel be checked because it is easier and safer to pull out of a parking space in Adel than
currently in Waukee.Lynn Schafer of Classic Florists interjected that the concern ofthe vast
majority of business owners in the Triangle Park downtown area was the number of parking
spaces that would be lost in the reconstruction.Parking is at a premium in the area and must be
maintained as much as possible.The current plan has a net loss of eight parking spaces
compared to the current number.Jerry Crow questioned the value and purpose of changing the
downtown triangle area,the cost,the funding sources.Mik Briedis indicated the budget was
$650,000.Funding came from TIF Funds.Mr.Briedis also indicated this project by itself will
not make the businesses successful.It will,however,enhance the area and invite people into the
area.The business owners will have to improve their properties and provide goods and services
which invite people to come in.Lynn Shafer,Mike Watts and Bill Peard responded to Mr.
Crow's concerns.Lynn Shafer attended a Mainstreet Program and indicated that she felt very
good about what was happening in the downtown area in Waukee.Mik Briedis indicated that
the downtown business owners would like a "significant"sign on Highway six directing traffic
to the downtown business areas.Mike Watts indicated that the City also needs to inspect the
19
buildings prior to construction so that the City can record before and after construction damage
to the foundations of buildings.Mik Briedis said that with business owners permission,the City
Inspector would go in with a video camera to verify the current cracks and also structural
abnormalities.Mike Watts moved to approve the concept plan for the Triangle redevelopment.

(22)Resolution:Approving Final Plat for Brighton Park Townhomes Rick Ross,830 Highway
6,Waukee representing Jerry's Homes.This project is located directly south of the Public
Safety Bldg and contains approximately 3 acres.There will be 22 townhome units.It is a
continuation of the same kind of units that are built on the east side of the pond and are now on
the west side.The two existing streets Rosenkrantz and Booth will be used for a five unit
building on Booth and a six unit building on Rosenkrantz.Additional units would be inside the
area on a private drive from L.A.Grant Parkway.This site plan was approved many years ago
but was never finalized.Now Mr.Ross wants to finalize the plat so construction of the units can
take place.Questions concerning the covenants or bonds for sidewalks were addressed.Mik
Briedis indicated that in previous developments the City has found that it is easier to work with
25
one developer in the construction of the sidewalks rather than many different home owners.In
other words when the proj ect is completed there should be a sidewalk on all appropriate sides of
the proj ect or in this development all the way around the proj ect.Sidewalks can be completed or
bonded for completion later.Paul Huscher indicated the City engineer determines what bond is
to be posted by the linear feet of the sidewalk and the estimated cost per linear foot.This bond is
to be posted prior to finalizing the plat.Because Mr.Ross brought this request to the City late
last week,the City has not had an opportunity to review the request appropriately.In order to
work out an agreement Mr.Huscher requests that the City be given time to review what has been
committed in terms of the bond for sidewalks already.Mr.Huscher also indicated that the
developer who is asking for the approval of the final plat should place something on the plat for
this lot that makes him responsible for the sidewalks or if he sells it to whomever the grantee is
that that person will be responsible.That should also be noted in our approval.If someone were
to purchase the property looking at just the plat,they're not going to have any knowledge that
they have the responsibility to put in sidewalks in that area.Rick Ross would agree that if a
bond is not in place to cover those two areas -Rosenkrantz and Booth -they will get them.In
addition to the notice in the plat of homeowner responsibility,the City Attorney recommends
bonding for the sidewalks.There is an additional issue of the water pipes and sewer.The water
and sewer pipes are already in.However,the water loop coming off a main at L.A.Grant
Parkway needs to be completed and is the responsibility of the developer and should be covered
in the covenant or the abstract as a private line maintained by the people who live there.Further
discussion concerned L.A.Grant Parkway,which is currently a 24 foot street.When the site
plan was approved 4 to 5 years ago L.A.Grant Parkway was developed as a street with 24 feet of
roadway surface.Traffic and growth have altered the current usage and the proposed plans for
development within the City.The Municipal Code indicates that streets,which are collectors for
traffic flowing into and through the City,must have a minimum width of 70 feet right-of-way
and be 31 feet curb to curb.L.A.Grant Parkway is such a street.The argument was raised by
Rick Ross that this wasn't an issue and hadn't been required when the site plan was approved.
Mark Arentsen indicated that the site plan and the final plat are two different procedures and are
reviewed each independently.Bill Peard indicated that regardless of what was done 4 or 5 years
ago,the City has changed and the requirements for developing sites have changed for the better.
Nick Gruber moved to approve the final plat with a 31 ft.BIB roadway surface on L.A.Grant
Parkway.Further discussion included the P &Z approval to bond for the improvement until the
street was widened further down the street.The City Engineer,Mik Briedis,indicated that the
bond would be $42,000 for the 3.5 foot of curb,storm sewer,intakes and associated excavation.
Bill Peard second.City Attorney Paul Huscher indicated that the motion should be stated to
include the requirements previously mentioned by him.The motion to approve the Final Plat for
Brighton Park Townhomes includes (1)a 31 foot BIB roadway surface at L.A.Grant Parkway
(2)sidewalks all around the project or bonding for the sidewalks not currently in place,(3)notice
in covenant or as part of the abstract that the property owner is responsible for the sidewalks on
their property and the private water line known as the "loop,"if it borders their property.Roll

Warrior Lane Project where we have the box culvert extension and the earth work required to
construct the roadway,we will need an easement from Mr.Conn.Wayne Johnson indicated Mr.
Conn's main concern is that he maintains an access to the south side of his property.Mr.Briedis
indicated that there are several ways to handle an easement.One of those would be to get a
perpetual easement or right-of-way acquisition.We are looking for the land acquisition to
permit the construction of an embankment.We could negotiate part of an easement where Mr.
Conn still retains the fee title of the property.From an engineering perspective that would be
satisfactory.
