Council Member McGee,to approve the resolution.Brad Deets presented the site plan,
giving a brief overview of the project.The addition will match the architecture,brick and
glass of the existing building,and no additional roof-mounted HV AC units are planned.

required by ordinance.The developer has also posted a bond for future University
Avenue improvements.In response to a question asked by Council Member Stanton,Joe
Kobes of Frevert Ramsey Kobes,architect for the project,addressed the Council,stating
that the proposed parking meets the ordinance.He had suggested to the school district
10
that they consider purchasing more property to the east of the existing site to allow for
any necessary future building and parking expansion.Council Member Stanton asked if
the number of trees on the site met ordinance requirements;Mr.Deets stated that trees
were added after the Planning &Zoning Commission meeting and that the number met
the minimum requirements.Council Member Watts amended the motion to approve the

10)Resolution:Consideration of approval of the site plan for Stivers Ford Used Car
Facility -Motion by Council Member Watts,seconded by Council Member Bailey,to
approve the resolution.Brad Deets presented the site plan,giving a brief overview of the
project.The structure is proposed with split-faced block and EIFS to mimic the design of
the existing building.The structure is located within the Arterial Corridor Overlay
District,which requires the structure to be constructed with 70%brick or stone;the hard
surface materials as proposed meet the 70%requirement,but the developer asks that the
split-faced block and EIFS be allowed in place of brick or stone.Council Member Watts
stated his preference for brick or stone as stated in the ordinance,and that the structure
could be designed to blend in with the existing building.At this point,Rich Ayers of
Environmental Design Group addressed the Council,stating that the split-faced block
was the same as had been used on the existing building and that the EIFS would only be
used above the windows and as part of the tower element.Mr.Ayers also stated that the
proposed split-faced block is pre-colored,and not painted.Planning &Zoning
Commissioner Joe Schmidt next addressed the Council,stating that the Commission's
motion for approval of the site plan included language that explained the reasoning for
their approval of the split-faced block and EIFS;he recommended the City Council do
the same in their motion.Council Member McGee stated that he had no issues with the
building as presented,and that the building might look out-of-place if it did not mirror the
look of the existing building.Council Member Bailey asked if the brick and stone
requirement in the ordinance conflicted with the use of consistent architectural styles.He
then expressed the opinion that,in this case,the architecture of the existing building
overrides the brick and stone requirement.Roll call:Ayes:Bailey,McGee,Stanton,
Mertz.Nays:Watts.Motion carried 4 -l.

Commission had discussed the materials proposed for the eastern elevation;at City staff s
request,the developer has agreed to wrap the precast panels used for the front elevation
onto the east elevation for a length of 20 feet.Council Member Bailey asked questions
about the proposed expansion on Lot 20;Mr.Deets explained that the driveway would be
located on the lot line between Lots 19 and 20 to mitigate any access issues for either lot.
Council Member McGee voiced the concern of neighboring residential property owners
about the visibility of garage doors facing Alice's Rd.;Mr.Deets answered that the
garage doors would face Olson Dr.,not Alice's Rd.,and that the doors would be screened
11
more effectively when the property adjacent to the north of Lots 19 and 20 was
developed.At this time,Clark Snyder of Simonson and Associates addressed the I
Council,stating that the building included the relocation of Summit Structured )
Settlements from Urbandale,as well as two bays for flexible lease space.Council
Member Mertz asked if the front elevation included canopies;Mr.Snyder replied in the

landscaping as screening elements.The original owner of the property had posted a bond
with the City for water improvements to the site;City staff had contacted the original
owner,who has agreed to construct the necessary improvements.The proposed structure
meets the requirements of the Arterial Corridor Overlay District in which it is located.A
parapet wall will screen all rooftop HV AC units.The developer has also agreed to
remove certain proposed menu board signage from the eastern elevation.Steve Gray of
SVP A Architects next addressed the Council,explaining that the proposed structure
would be built by a franchisee.Council Member McGee asked how the Grill and Chill
concept differed from other Dairy Queen franchises;Mr.Gray replied that the proposed
Grill and Chill would emphasize more dine-in space and an expanded food menu.1

Eric Gjersvik ofMSA Professional Services addressed the question,stating that the berm
as proposed and the elevation ofthe site would provide adequate screening.Council

14)Resolution:Consideration of approval of discounted greens fees at Sugar Creek
Municipal Golf Course for full-time and part-time City employees,board members and
elected officials -Motion by Council Member Watts,seconded by Council Member
Bailey,to approve the resolution.Council Member Watts explained that he had
requested this item be reconsidered by the Council,and that he advocated free greens fees
instead of a discount.He stated that the waiver of greens fees was a small thing to be
done for City employees,and that those employees may bring paying customers with
them to the golf course.Council Member Stanton referred to a report prepared by City I
staff of the net profits and losses for the golf course,stating that the course is funded by
taxpayers,and expressing the opinion that the course should be fully paid for prior to any
12
discount program being implemented.She suggested some other monetary perks for
employees and that the fees for the course should be kept as low as possible for all users.
Council Member McGee responded that retaining employees was not always done with
salaries alone,that the golf course could make money by employees bringing other
paying customers with them to the course,and that discounted greens fees would be a
good will gesture toward the employees.Council Member Bailey stated that he had not
initially supported the discount,but felt that relatively few employees would take
advantage of the discount and that the golf course could still make money.Council
Member Mertz questioned the legality of elected officials such as the Council approving
a discount for themselves;City Attorney Steve Brick stated that he would research the
matter.Joe Schmidt,1490 SE Primrose Ln.and a Planning &Zoning Commissioner,
stated that he volunteered for the Commission and was not looking for any compensation
or perks.Mayor Peard expressed the opinion that a discount would be a nice gesture of
appreciation to City employees and board members.Council Member Stanton again
stated her opposition to any discount,and suggested a one-year trial period for the policy.
John Gibson replied that the golf course could track employee and board member use of
the course,as well as the number of paying patrons those employees bring with them.
Council Member Mertz stated that he had also initially opposed the discount until certain
other fiscal matters were resolved;however,in light of recent funding sources for both
the library and police department,he now was willing to support the golf course discount.
Council Member Watts amended the motion to approve the resolution,changing
discounted greens fees to free greens fees,and striking elected officials from the
resolution;Council Member Bailey amended the second.Roll call:Ayes:Watts,Bailey,
McGee,Mertz.Nays:Stanton.Motion carried 4 -I.
