URBANDALE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES The Urbandale Planning and Zoning Commission met in regular session on Monday,, at the Urbandale City Hall, 3600 86th Street. Chairperson Joan Racki called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Commissioners present were Wayne Van Heuvelen, Bridget Montgomery, Julie Roethler, Kevin Gass, Jeff Hatfield, Paul Pick, Judy Ralston-Hansen, Joe Wallace, and Joan Racki. Staff members present were Kristi Bales, Community Development Manager/Chief Planner; Sheena Nuetzman, Planner I; Evy Tews, Administrative Technician; and Cheryl Vander Linden, Administrative Specialist. The first item on the agenda was approval of the minutes of the September 5, 2017 meeting. Mr. Pick moved, and it was seconded by Hatfield, to approve the September 5, 2017 minutes. On roll call; Ayes: Pick, Hatfield, Van Heuvelen, Montgomery, Gass, Ralston-Hansen, Wallace, Racki. Nays: none. Passes: Roethler. Motion carried. The next item on agenda was the public hearing on the Ziegler Property Amendment to the Planned Unit Development, Case No. 010-2005-02.01.02 (104 th Street and Hickman Road). Ms. Racki said, if there were no objections, she would dispense with reading the following official publication: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: OFFICIAL PUBLICATION Case No. 010-2005-02.01.02 Notice is hereby given that the Urbandale Planning & Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing in the Urbandale City Hall, 3600-86 th Street, Urbandale, Iowa at 6:00 p.m. on Monday,, to consider a petition from Ted Rapp, Development Director for DRA Properties, LLC, owner, to amend the Ziegler Property P.U.D. Master Plan for the following legally described property: PARCELS 'A' AND 'B' OF THE PLAT OF SURVEY RECORDED AT BOOK 10955 PAGE 21 IN THE OFFICE OF THE POLK COUNTY RECORDER, EXCEPT HICKMAN COMMERCIAL AND HICKMAN COMMERCIAL PLAT 2, OFFICIAL PLATS, URBANDALE, POLK COUNTY, IOWA. The property is located on the east side of 104 th Street, north of Hickman Road, and has an area of approximately 6.869 acres. The amendment to the P.U.D. Master Plan is proposed to increase the clear ceiling height to 25 feet; to allow pre-cast concrete panels to be a permitted building material; and to allow local trucking without outside storage to be a permitted use.
Page 2 More information on this proposed amendment to the Ziegler Property P.U.D. Master Plan can be obtained at the Department of Community Development, 3600-86 th Street, Urbandale, Iowa between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. All interested parties either for or against this proposed P.U.D. amendment will be heard at the time and place set forth above. There were no objections to the official notice as published. Ms. Bales said this request pertains to two properties located on the east side of 104 th Street, approximately 1,000 feet north of Hickman Road. The parcels have a combined acreage of 11.8 acres and a combined frontage of 845 feet on 104 th Street. The property is currently vacant. The City Council approved the rezoning to P.U.D. on February 1, 2005 and an amendment to the P.U.D. for lot widths on June 3, 2008. The petitioner is seeking approval of three amendments to the Ziegler Property P.U.D. Master Plan to increase the clear ceiling height, allow for an additional permitted use, and to amend certain other requirements for building materials. Maximum Height Amendment: Per the P.U.D. Master Plan, the maximum clear ceiling height is 16 feet unless utilized for retail or office use. The petitioner is requesting the clear ceiling height be increased to 25 feet in order to better accommodate flexible building space. The P.U.D. does require an increased building setback if the building exceeds a total height of 35 feet. Use Amendment: The petitioner is seeking to add an additional permitted use for Local trucking without outside storage (SIC 4212). This use would be defined as companies primarily engaged in providing truck or transfer services within the general metropolitan area and not include long-distance ( over-the-road ) trucking. Exterior Building Materials The petitioner states in their application that they are proposing a multi-tenant building using pre-cast concrete panels with details added utilizing acid etching, color staining, entry canopies, and other architectural elements. The building would use pre-cast concrete panels on all sides of the building. The existing Ziegler Property P.U.D. Master Plan states the following for the subject parcels (bold text for emphasis): Building Materials. The predominant building material shall be brick having a red or brown tonal coloration, and brick that is pink, yellow, orange, or light in color tone shall generally be limited to accent areas. Architectural block
Page 3 emulating stone products may be utilized as foundation elements and for detailing. Side and rear elevations shall be comprised of the same materials and reasonably similar in character and quality unless screened from substantially view from streets and residential areas by topographic differences, plant materials, or other screening devices, in which case building detailing may be reduced and architectural block can be used to a moderate extent. Colors shall be restricted to muted shades except for signage, and use of colors that provide identification for the tenant shall be defined as signage for the purposes of this Master Plan. Structures built after the initial structure shall repeat the building shapes, forms, materials, color, and architectural features found in nearby buildings, while at the same time allowing individual expression by the architect. Concrete block shall be architectural block with integral color or a burnished or textured surface. "Robertson" or similar architectural metal panels may be allowed if approved by the City Council. The requirement for brick as the predominant building material would remain the same. This amendment would allow for an additional option to be proposed in conjunction with the brick. In reviewing this project, the City s Engineering Department requested a 25 temporary construction easement along 104 th Street to accommodate future street work. Property adjacent to the south is part of the same P.U.D. Master Plan. To the east are parcels within the Menard Addition P.U.D., the Ashland Park Plat 3 P.U.D., and parcels zoned C-G General Commercial District. Adjacent to the north are parcels zoned M-2 Business Park Industrial District. Across 104 th Street to the west are parcels within the Westport P.U.D. The subject property is in the West Des Moines School District and drains to the south, eventually towards Walnut Creek. Ms. Bales said staff recommends approval of amendments to the Ziegler Property P.U.D. Master Plan for an increase in clear ceiling height to 25 feet, to allow local trucking without outside storage as a permitted use, and to amend certain other requirements for building materials with the additional condition for a 25 temporary construction easement. Mr. Ted Rapp, DRA Properties, and Keven Crawford, Cooper Crawford & Associates, were present to answer questions. Ms. Ralston-Hansen asked by approving this, the third recommendation, the exterior building materials, do we open ourselves up, without having knowledge of the site plan, saying yes, we ll approve this and then they come in and it s something that s really on the borderline, and they re under the regulations but really stretching it. Should I be concerned about that? Ms. Bales said I think the best thing to do is to look at how that language is written on page 7 of the P.U.D. As I mentioned, the predominant brick material still stays in as the
Page 4 requirement. Within this building material section of your P.U.D., it talks about the side and the rear elevations and how they shall continue with some of those predominately same materials. There s also a screening provision, which we ve seen before, where if it really isn t visible from the public or the street, maybe they can use that material. But, we have had the precast concrete panels as an option, as the accent to the predominately brick before. So I think you ll see that, but it s one of those things they can t incorporate into their design until it s approved as an option. But you will see it. You might ask the owner if they have any idea what that looks like, but we ve not seen it yet. Mr. Ted Rapp, DRA Properties, 1515 NE 36 th Street, Ankeny, said we have been working with a probable tenant, they re actually in the audience tonight, they re an existing Urbandale business that wishes to relocate within Urbandale. They would be part of this building. The building is not designed yet. As Ms. Bales stated, we re looking at options but really getting into the design is based on whether or not we can use some other materials other than brick. We plan to do precast as a predominant on all four sides of the building so it won t turn into a metal façade on the back side or the north or south. But at this point, we ll have punched openings, storefront, we hope that the flexibility of this building will allow not only for the current tenant possibility but some retail on the southern exposure because of its elevated exposure above Car Max. I guess I can t answer the question of what the building looks like, but any flexibility on that design will help us finalize that and it will again come back to you. Mr. Van Heuvelen asked so it will be predominantly brick? Mr. Rapp said no. What we re hoping for is the precast will be another solid surface, with acid washing, acid etching, acid washed stained painting, canopies. We even have seen some opportunities for precast to have an offset to create a shadow that, again, adds to the building s look. The question for the precast is to not forego the brick but to augment it with some other material. Mr. Van Heuvelen said maybe I m missing something here, but as I look at the building materials, it says the predominant building material shall be brick having a red, different colors. Mr. Rapp said yes, that was the existing. Mr. Van Heuvelen said so, we re going to forego this, right? Mr. Rapp said that was kind of the impression I had from Staff. Ms. Roethler said I think they ve updated this with what they wanted it to read, though. I think this also then includes the accent areas. I thought they were talking about this other piece as more of an accent.
Page 5 Mr. Rapp said if you read the request and then the report, I wasn t quite sure of if the predominant brick stays in? I don t quite know what we re gaining with precast. Ms. Ralston-Hansen asked if Ms. Bales could respond to that. Ms. Bales said the predominantly brick requirement stays in, and so the gaining with the precast is that it can be included as one of the materials into the development, because it wasn t in there before. That s the gain. The way the letter of request reads, it wasn t an elimination of brick as the predominant material, it was the addition of the precast concrete panels. Mr. Rapp said I think later on in the materials, it talks about other materials used for based or for accent, split block and other things. It s actually just asking for more flexibility in the exterior design of the building. Mr. Hatfield asked Ms. Bales would you say predominantly means 51% or more? Ms. Bales said Mr. Franklin says we don t put a number on that. Over half somehow, is the predominant part of the brick. Mr. Hatfield asked Mr. Rapp do you agree that about 51% would be brick? Mr. Rapp asked of the entire four-sided building? Or of the façade that faces 104 th Street? I understand the 104 th view, and even lapping around the south. But as far as the east elevation that backs up to the creek or the north that backs up to other flex space I have a hard time having to use a lot of brick. Ms. Bales said so, the way it reads is side and rear elevations shall be comprised of the same materials and reasonably similar in character and quality, unless substantially screened from streets and residential areas by topographic differences. So, the side that is the creek side may not have to be predominantly brick, that may be more precast concrete materials. But until we see where the building is and that sort of thing, we won t know. Because there is some topographic change on this site, and you have that creek that runs through part of it, as least some screening behind it. So we would anticipate not brick on all four sides because of that provision and the way it was written, to allow for some flexibility when we see the building elevations. Mr. Hatfield said right, this isn t site plan, this is just a change in the P.U.D. Ms. Ralston-Hansen asked what type of tenant will it be, the one you re looking at right now? Mr. Rapp said Two Men and A Truck, or actually a man, a woman and a truck. Ms. Ralston-Hansen said just curious. Thank you!
Page 6 Ms. Racki asked if there were any others present who wished to speak either in favor or opposed to this P.U.D. Amendment. Seeing no one, Mr. Gass moved and it was seconded by Wallace, to close the public hearing. On roll call; Ayes: Gass, Wallace, Van Heuvelen, Montgomery, Roethler, Hatfield, Pick, Ralston-Hansen, Racki; Nays: none. Passes: none. Mr. Van Heuvelen said, regarding the use, if Two Men and A Truck want to park their trucks inside, right? There will be nothing parked outside? Is that the essence of the building, or am I missing something? Ms. Bales said you mean because of the provision in the standards, without outside storage? I would anticipate their fleet would be outside, but not the stuff they haul. Mr. Hatfield said so it wouldn t be a fence with a bunch of boxes and metal and stuff. Ms. Bales said correct. I would anticipate seeing a site plan where their vehicles are parked outside, but no other stuff stored outside. Mr. Pick said I image it would very similar to where they re located now, where trucks are parked in behind the building, at the NW Urbandale Drive location. Mr. Hatfield said I don t have any heartburn about what s written down, as long as it s predominantly brick and they can put stuff where it s not visible to the public. Mr. Hatfield moved, and it was seconded by Gass, to approve the Ziegler Property Amendment to the Planned Unit Development, subject to Staff recommendations. On roll call; Ayes: Hatfield, Gass, Van Heuvelen, Montgomery, Roethler, Pick, Ralston- Hansen, Wallace, Racki. Nays: none. Passes: none. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was the New Hope Assembly of God Church Parking Lot Expansion Site Plan No. 012-2011-01.02 (4425 70 th Street). Ms. Bales said this site plan pertains to property located near the northeast corner of 70 th Street and Townsend Avenue, and known locally as the New Hope Assembly of God Church. The entire property has about 600 feet of frontage on 70 th Street and about 160 feet of frontage on Townsend Avenue, with a total area of approximately 8 acres. The site plan for the church has been amended over time, with the most recent amendment in 2015. The parcel is zoned R-1S Suburban Density Single Family District. This site plan proposes the removal of an internal landscaping island and the construction of 13 additional parking spaces. These spaces are located in the southern part of the parking lot, close Townsend Avenue entrance. The updated stormwater management plan was reviewed as part of this site plan.
Page 7 No buildings are proposed with this site plan. Construction of the parking area will require the removal of four trees, which are required to be replaced. The subject property is adjacent on the north, east, south and west (across 70 th Street) to single-family residences all zoned R-1S. The property is located in the Urbandale School District. Staff recommends approval of the site plan, subject to requiring the developer to: 1. Show concrete washout location (location must be 50 from any storm intake). 2. Provide existing and final parking counts on Sheet 1 (included ADA parking spaces); show where four trees will be replaced; provide a schedule for replacing trees and shrubs as noted/required on the original site plan. Mr. Hatfield asked was this required originally, the grass and trees, and so they re changing that? So, the trees will be replaced, the grass area will not be replaced, obviously. Ms. Bales said the grass area will not be replaced. They have enough outdoor, that minimum open space requirement, that they re okay in that regard. So they re okay to lose this little part in order to put parking spaces there. Mr. Hatfield asked where would Staff recommend that they put the four trees? Ms. Bales said probably on the outside here. In looking at the old site plan, there are some shrubs and kind of some internal trees that have disappeared over time, for one reason or another. So I would start with the internal parking islands, and then make sure that that screening is established to the houses on the east. So there s plenty of room to put them. Mr. Vic Mitchell, Deacon from New Hope Church, 4720 78 th Place, Urbandale, said we re looking at con-color evergreens to replace the huge sycamores that were dying. The trees were dying and branches were falling on the cars. We had to get rid of them, it was a liability. The sycamores are gone. We had to take them out right away because we had time and ability to do that. One of the areas that we re looking at is right here. It s vacant, there s nothing there now, we d like to put two of the con-colored evergreens in that area. They re a real nice evergreen tree, they stay green yeararound. And then there s a space right in here that would allow for two more, and that would be replacing the four that were in here. And then there was a comment about the clean-out for the concrete. This area right here is where we can put a clean-out for the concrete trucks. And that s farther than 50 feet away from any intake that s in the parking lot or out in the street. And we ll take care of that.
Page 8 Mr. Gass said does anybody follow up on projects like this? I m just curious, how does the City know that they re going to plant these four trees? Ms. Bales said that part we ll follow up on, because we had a conversation a few months ago. They asked for permission early on to take the trees out because of the damage that it was causing. So we knew about those, and they said they would work on a site plan if they could take those out of there. Usually there s a building permit required, so it s added as one of the conditions. In this case, there won t be a building permit but it s on our radar screen of current cases, so we ll follow up with that. Mr. Gass said not that they wouldn t do it, but I m just kind of curious as to how that works. Ms. Bales said usually we do a final inspection to release a Certificate of Occupancy. There s no Certificate of Occupancy in this case, so we ll correspond with each other. He ll tell me when it s done, then I ll go out and check it. A little different for parking lots, when they re parking lots only. Ms. Ralston-Hansen moved, and it was seconded by Gass, to approve the New Hope Assembly of God Church Parking Lot Expansion site plan, subject to Staff recommendations. On roll call; Ayes: Ralston-Hansen, Gass, Van Heuvelen, Montgomery, Roethler, Hatfield, Pick, Wallace, Racki; Nays: none. Passes: none. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was the 7301 Hickman Road Box Culvert Extension Site Plan No. 012-2005-13.01 (7301 Hickman Road). Ms. Bales said this site plan pertains to property located at the northwest corner of 73 rd Street and Hickman Road, adjacent to the parking lot for Kmart. The entire property has about 270 feet of frontage on 73 rd Street and about 308 feet of frontage on Hickman Road, with a total area of approximately 1.6 acres. The property is currently vacant and no buildings are proposed with this site plan. The parcel is zoned C-N Neighborhood Convenience District. This site plan proposes the installation of a 300 long 10 x10 box culvert, along with associated grading and rip-rap. The culvert will be privately owned and maintained. The property is located within the FEMA flood boundary of Rocklyn Creek. Grading and construction will require issuance of a floodplain development permit. Any future construction will require the submittal of a new site plan for review and approval. Property adjacent to the north and west is also zoned C-N. Property to the east is regulated by the Charleston Court Planned Unit Development Master Plan. Across Hickman Road to the south are commercial uses within the City of Windsor Heights. The property is located in the West Des Moines School District.
Page 9 Staff recommends approval of the site plan, subject to requiring the developer to: 1. Acknowledge the culvert will be privately owned and maintained. 2. SWPPP Layout: show silt fence layout and other controls necessary to keep sediment out of Rocklyn Creek; provide calculations for rip-rap at culvert outlet; verify if an NPDES Permit is required. If so, provide copy of NPDES Permit and SWPPP to stormwater@urbandale.org prior to any grading work. Weekly inspection reports will also need to be submitted to this email address. 3. No comments on the preliminary flood analysis. Provide hydraulic report when complete; provide overland flow route as recommended by preliminary flood analysis; provide copies of permits when received from the Iowa DNR and the USACE; provide City of Urbandale Floodplain Development permit application. Mr. Hatfield asked are they essentially doing this so they can build more property on this? Ms. Bales said yes. Mr. Hatfield said this is the first time I ve ever seen a request for a box culvert extension and no building with it, so this is making it more marketable to sell or use. Mr. Gass said nothing has been on there since Shakey s left. Mr. Chuck Bishop, Bishop Engineering, 3501 104 th Street, said the owner is just trying to expand the area to be developed. I think they have some inklings that K-Mart might not be long for this world, either, so they might split that lot up some more too. I think they re looking at a bigger parcel. We are kind of limited by the DNR saying that we only can affect up to 300 feet of the channel, so that s why we couldn t connect the two culverts together. So we had to leave it open. Otherwise we had to go all the way through, submitted to the Corps of Engineer and the DNR just to get approval of this, so we re still going through that approval process, as well. But basically they re just trying to get this done this year so they can have a lot that they can maybe try to develop in the future. Mr. Pick asked who is the current owner? Mr. Bishop said it s Signature Real Estate. Mr. Van Heuvelen asked so they d be putting a parking lot over top the culvert? They wouldn t build over top the culvert? Mr. Bishop said no, they d put a parking lot on top of the culvert and probably a building to the west of it, up in the parking lot for the K-Mart facility, basically.
Page 10 Mr. Hatfield asked do you agree with the Staff recommendations? Mr. Bishop said yes. Mr. Pick moved, and it was seconded by Montgomery, to approve the 7301 Hickman Road Box Culvert Extension, subject to Staff recommendations. On roll call; Ayes: Pick, Montgomery, Van Heuvelen, Roethler, Gass, Hatfield, Ralston-Hansen, Wallace, Racki; Nays: none. Passes: none. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was the Van Meter Parking Lot Addition (4040 121 st Street) Site Plan No. 012-2012-05.02. Ms. Nuetzman said this site plan pertains to the Van Meter property located to the west of 121 st Street in the vicinity of the intersection at Ridgemont Drive. The parcel is 10.37 acres in size with approximately 709 feet of frontage along 121 st Street. The property is zoned P.U.D. Planned Unit Development and is regulated by the Crossroads Business Park P.U.D. Master Plan. The original site plan was approved in July of 2012 with a recent site plan approved on February 14, 2017 for the west building addition. This site plan proposes the addition of 25 parking spaces along the east side of the property near 121 st Street. This will increase the parking to 127 spaces on the site. No new buildings are proposed with this site plan. Stormwater detention is currently being provided along the southeast boundary of the property. The original landscaping plan was approved in 2012 with a row of trees and shrubs along the eastern parking boundary. Some of the trees and shrubs have not been replaced accordingly and will need to be planted with this revised site plan. All of the surrounding nonresidential properties are included in the Crossroads Business Park P.U.D. and located in the Dallas Center-Grimes School District, and all are developed with the exception of the property adjoining to the south. A site plan has been approved for the south adjoining property for a gymnasium and basketball instruction school. There are existing single-family residences adjoining to the west that are also zoned P.U.D., but are regulated by a different P.U.D. Master Plan and located in the Urbandale School District. There is a drainageway running along the property s frontage that drains to the south through Living History Farms, and eventually into Walnut Creek. Staff recommends approval of the site plan, subject to the following requirements: 1. Refer to the original landscaping plan approved in 2012 to ensure plantings are replaced as accordingly along the eastern parking boundary; verify that 5 handicapped accessible parking spaces are being provided; 2. Provide a hold harmless agreement for paving within the easement; a
Page 11 LOMR will be required once the new floodplain maps are effective (new parking is within the limits of the preliminary map); email updated SWPPP layout to stormwater@urbandale.org as the project will need to be included on the existing project s NPDES permit. Mr. Doug Saltsgaver, Engineering Resource Group, 2413 Grand Avenue, # 2, Des Moines, was present to represent this site plan. Mr. Hatfield said Doug gave a thumb up on the staff recommendations, so let the record so reflect. Mr. Gass moved, and it was seconded by Roethler, to approve the Van Meter Parking Lot Addition site plan, subject to Staff recommendations. On roll call; Ayes; Gass, Roethler, Van Heuvelen, Montgomery, Hatfield, Pick, Ralston-Hansen, Wallace, Racki; Nays: none. Passes: none. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was Silkwood Crossing Plat 2 Final Plat (142 nd Street and Catalpa Drive). Ms. Nuetzman said this final plat pertains to a parcel formerly known as the Skeers property. The entire property is 76 acres in size and lies approximately 1,400 feet north of Meredith Drive on the west side of 142 nd Street. On August 16, 2016, the City Council approved a rezoning of the property from A-1 Agricultural Reserve District to R-1S Suburban Density Single-Family District requiring a minimum lot width of 70 feet. On September 27, 2016, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for 173 singlefamily residential lots and on April 25, 2017, approved 42 single-family lots in Plat 1. Plat 2 and will consist of 40 single-family residential lots on 14.39 acres, located on the southwest side of the development and north of Plat 1. The lots generally have widths of 75 to 80 feet, with the corner lots being wider as required. The minimum lot size for all lots is 8,750 square feet per the R-1S zoning district criteria. The lots range in size from 10,500 square feet to 21,566 square feet. Lots in Plat 2 will access 142 nd Street via Sutton Drive and Catalpa Drive. Water service will be provided by an existing 16 water main along 142 nd Street. Sanitary sewer will be provided from an 8 line from the west end of the development. Stormwater detention will be provided in an Outlot to the north in a regional detention basin. Property to the east, across 142 nd Street is zoned A-1 and is currently used for agricultural purposes. The properties to the north, west and south are zoned R-1S. Bent Creek Estates is adjacent to the west and Calvert Meadows, Meredith Heights, and Kuehl Estates are adjacent to the south all of which have been developed as single-family detached dwellings.
Page 12 The property is located in the Waukee School District and drains primarily to the west into a drainageway, eventually into Walnut Creek. Ms. Nuetzman said Staff recommends approval of the final plat, subject to requiring the developer to: 1. Submit an Attorney s Opinion and all other plat documents as found to be necessary for approval; pay street sign fee of $500; provide surety in the amount of $11,227.26 for internal sidewalks; verify all inspection fees are paid before the final plat is recorded; add addresses to each lot (provided by Community Development Department); comply with requirements of the Parkland Ordinance with dedication of the parkland in Lot P in a future plat of Silkwood Crossing; provide dimensions where easements are not directly off the rear property line; submit a site plan showing proposed locations of fire hydrants; label Outlot Z north of the Plat in Sheet 2; 2. Provide a temporary easement at the east end of Catalpa Drive for turnaround only; provide permanent easements for the Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer and Water Main; provide easement descriptions for sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water main easement at the east end of Catalpa Drive; verify location of water main hydrant at the southwest corner of Lot 20 (it doesn t match what is shown on the Construction Drawings); revise the ROW transition to cul-de-sac to a minimum radius of 80 per City Code; revise Note #3 to state that all future driveways shall be located so as not to conflict with manhole and intake structures (this is a change from previous wording); provide an 11x17 Tile Map layout of found field tiles; submit a Stormwater Facility Maintenance Agreement per the Post Construction Stormwater Ordinance; submit an as-built survey per the City Subdivision Ordinance; provide a bond to ensure the detention area is cleaned out prior to it being turned over to the Homeowner s Association. Mr. Doug Saltsgaver, Engineering Resource Group, 2413 Grand Avenue, # 2, Des Moines, was present to represent this site plan. Mr. Hatfield said there s one thumb up, again. Ms. Roethler asked do you know the acreage that s just to the north of there, are there any plans for that? Ms. Nuetzman said there s still another plat that will follow, north of this entire plat, you mean? Ms. Roethler said yes, north of this plat, there s some buildings there. Ms. Nuetzman said that s a farm. No plans for that.
Page 13 Mr. Pick moved, and it was seconded by Gass, to approve the Silkwood Crossing Plat 2 final plat, subject to Staff recommendations. On roll call; Ayes: Pick, Gass, Van Heuvelen, Montgomery, Roethler, Hatfield, Ralston-Hansen, Wallace, Racki; Nays: none. Passes: none. Motion carried. Regarding Staff reports, Ms. Bales said we will not have your meeting on October 16, although we will have your meeting on October 30, which I understand is Beggar s Night. Let me know as soon as possible if you have a problem with that night. Mr. Gass asked what happened with 100 th and Meredith, the piece of property where they wanted to build the townhomes, that was supposed to go to City Council? Ms. Bales said it was approved last week. The meeting adjourned at 6:38 p.m.
