College professor.Ms.Mueller,who with her husband has been a long time Waukee

Zoning Ordinance of the City of Waukee,Iowa,by re-zoning and changing certain
property therein from A-I (Agricultural District)to R-2 (One and Two Family
Residential District)Hemingway Property Mayor Oberman opened the public hearing.

(9)Ordinance:On an amendment to Chapter 301,Waukee Municipal Code,Zoning

ordinance.Jeff Mertz moved to have the first reading in title only.Darlene Stanton
second.Roll call:Ayes:Mertz,Stanton,Bailey,Gruber.Nays:None.Absent:Peard.
Motion carried 4 -0 -1.
(10)Resolution:Approving Site Plan for Warrior Plaza,Phase 3 Mr.Ed Arp of Civil
Engineering Consultants was present to discuss the project.This project is the [mal
phase of Warrior Plaza and will be located south ofJ.C.'s Comer and west ofFareway.
The developer is hoping to finalize site work during the fall and winter.However,much
5
discussion occurred in a recent P&Z meeting where approval of the Site Plan passed
contingent on a number of items being corrected or finished prior to approval by Council.
Some ofthose items are yet to be finalized.Council member Bailey thought this item
should not have been placed on the agenda until issues concerning this item had been
addressed.After several comments by council members and staff,Council member Nick
Gruber moved to approve the Site Plan including split face or solid brick on the east end,
a parapet extending around the east end to the NE comer and screening on all sides of the
rooftop.There was no second to this motion.Council member Darlene Stanton moved
to have this item on Monday,November 22,2004 at 6:30 PM.A second by Jeff Mertz
apparently was not heard.Council member Nick Gruber moved that several conditions
be part of this motion.There was no second.City Attorney Paul Huscher recommended
not taking any action and placing the item on the next agenda,if the developer and City
staff have worked through existing problem areas,No action was taken on this item.
(11)Resolution:Approving Preliminary Plat for Hemingway Property Don Bailey,Jr.
moved to approve the Preliminary Plat for Hemingway Property.Nick Gruber second.
Council member Stanton asked whether the Park Land issue had been resolved.City
Administrator Mark Arentsen indicated that although the decision concerning park land
had not been finalized,the City staff and developer are in agreement that the developer
will provide funds for the development of parkland in the general area of Hemingway
Property.Council member Bailey inquired as to why the Preliminary Plat for
Hemingway Property was being presented to the Council for approval prior to approving
the ordinance re-zoning the property from A-I to R-2.City staff indicated they were
trying to accommodate the developer of Hemingway Property;so site work could be
completed this fall and early winter.Community Development Director J ody Gunderson
stated that attempts to work with this developer were delayed due to the annexation issues
along L.A.Grant Parkway.The Hemingway property was not in the corporate limits of
the city when discussion concerning its development first began.Roll call:Ayes:Bailey,
Gruber,Mertz,Stanton.Nays:None.Absent:Peard.Motion carried 4 -0 -1.
(12)Resolution:This Item was removed from the agenda prior to the meeting.
(13)Resolution:Approving Grace Woods Development Agreement Darlene Stanton
moved to approve.Jeff Mertz second.Includes an agreement with the developer that he
will pave a country cross section consisting of 325 feet of gravel roadway that lies south
of Grace Woods Development and bill the city for those improvements to the 325 feet.
Because the developer is also paving the portion of Warrior Lane adjacent to his
development,the agreement allows the City to piggy-back on the developer's project and
pave an area of Warrior Lane that was not paved when Sunrise Meadows Plat 1 was
developed.Council member Bailey thinks that an improvement such as this one,which
will cost $62,000 to $64,000 ofTIF Rebate Funds,should be a project bid and let by the
City and for that reason will vote against this resolution,City Administrator Mark
Arentsen stated if the project were bid,the cost of the 325 feet of paving would increase
beyond what is proposed.Council member Bailey also raised the issue ofthe crest at the
north end ofthe improvement.He suggested that this portion of the road be knocked
down.However,the surrounding land would also need to be lowered,which is not part
of the developer's plan.Council member Mertz stated he supported the proposal.Jim
Hermann of 3111 V Avenue asked if this proposal was similar to his situation during
annexation discussions.After some discussion,Mayor Oberman suggested that City staff
]
6
and Mr.Hermann discnss this further so that all of Mr.Hermann's questions and
concerns might be addressed.Roll call:Ayes:Stanton,Mertz,Gruber.Nays:Bailey.
Absent:Peard.Motion carried 3 -1 -1.
(14)Resolution:Approving 12/20/04 as the date for public hearing on consolidation of
urban renewal area Darlene Stanton moved to approve the resolution.Nick Gruber
second.Council member Bailey stated he felt the resolution should have been part of the
packet before Monday evening and he wasn't convinced that the consolidation was
necessary.For those reasons he was voting against this resolution.City Administrator
Mark Arentsen explained the consolidation was intended to increase the flexibility for use
of funds available from the three TIP areas.Roll call:Ayes:Stanton,Gruber,Mertz.
Nays:Bailey.Absent:Peard.Motion carried 3 -1 -1.
