Written Responses 0 in Favor 0 in Opposition RECOMMENDATION TO THE P&Z COMMISSION Staff recommends approval of the submitted Preliminary Play subject to the following conditions: 1. Review and approval of any adjustments to the plat layout that are necessary to comply with the conditions of the Site Plan approval by the Planning Administrator. 2. Compliance with all administrative review comments of the City's Permit and Development Center. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COIV1MISSION I. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Purpose of Request: The proposed Site Plan would allow the construction of 34 rowhouse units. The preliminary plat facilitates the division of the site into rowhouse parcels and a commonly owned parcel. 2. Size of Site: 1 06,408 square feet or 2.44 acres. 3. Eisting Zoning (site): "R-3" Multiple Family Residential District, "D-0" Downtown Overlay District, "GGP" Gambling Games Prohibition Overlay District and "FSO" Freestanding Sign Overlay. 4. Eisting Land Use (site): Vacant. 5. Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: North - "R-3": Use is the Interstate 235 corridor. South - "Kum & Go PUD" & "M-1": Uses are commercial. East- "M-1": Uses are commercial and undeveloped land. West - "C-2"; Uses are commercial, multiple-family residential and vacant land. 6. General Neighborhood/Area Land Uses: The site is located at the northern periphery of downtown. The immediate area consists of a mi of commercial and residential uses. 7. Applicable Recognized Neighborhood(s): The subject property is not located in or within 250 feet of a recognized neighborhood association. All neighborhood associations were notified of the Commission meeting by mailing of the Preliminary Agenda on August 31, 2018 and the Final Agenda on September 14, 2018. Additionally, separate notifications of the hearing for the site plan were mailed on September 10, 2018 (10 days prior to the hearing) to the primary titleholder on file with the Poik County Assessor for every owner of property or condominium within 250 feet of the site.

8. Relevant Zoning History: On August 22, 2018, the Zoning Board of Adjustment granted the applicant an Eception of 15 feet less than the minimum required 30-foot of front yard setback and an Eception of 17 feet less than the minimum required 35-foot of rear yard setback. This relief is subject to the following conditions: a. Any building or site improvement constructed shall be in compliance with all applicable Site Plan policies, including the "D-0" Downtown Overlay District Design Guidelines. b. Any buildings constructed shall be in compliance with all applicable Building and Fire Codes, with issuance of all necessary permits by the Permit and Development Center. 9. PlanDSM Creating Our Tomorrow Future Land Use Plan Designation: Downtown Mied Use. 10. Applicable Regulations: The Commission shall determine if the preliminary plat conforms to the standards and requirements outlined in Chapter 354 of the Iowa Code and consider the criteria set forth in Chapter 18B of the Iowa Code. The Commission shall also determine if it conforms to the City Subdivision Ordinance and shall approve, conditionally approve or reject such plat within 45 days after the date of submission to the City Permit and Development Center. Unless the applicant agrees in writing to an etension of time, the preliminary plat shall be deemed approved if the Commission does not act within such 45-day period. The Commission's action for approval or conditional approval shall be null and void unless the final plat is submitted to the City Permit and Development Center within 270 days after the date of such action; provided, however, that the Permit and Development Administrator may grant, upon written request of the applicant, up to a 90-day etension for submittal of the final plat to the City Permit and Development Center. The Plan and Zoning Commission reviews and approves site plans for multiple family dwellings, boarding houses or rooming-houses in accordance with the design standards in section 82-213 of the City Code, which are in consideration of the criteria set forth in Chapter 18B of the Iowa Code. The decision to approve, approve subject to conditions, or disapprove a proposed site plan shall be based upon the conformance of the site plan with the following design standards. 1) Architectura! character. New developments and alterations to eisting development in or adjacent to eisting developed areas shall be compatible with the eisting architectural character of such areas by using a compatible design. Compatibility may be achieved through techniques such as the repetition of roof lines, the use of similar proportions in building mass and outdoor spaces, similar relationships to the street, similar window and door patterns, and/or the use of building materials that have color shades and tetures similar to those eisting in the immediate area of the proposed development. Brick and stone masonry shall be considered compatible with wood framing and other materials.

The proposed rowhouses would be 3-stories tall and would have masonry and cement fiberboard siding. The ground level of each unit would contain garage space. The units would have a parapet style roof. 2) Building height and mass. Buildings shall be either similar in size and height, or if larger, shall be articulated, setback or subdivided into massing that is proportional to the mass and scale of other structures on the same block and adjoining blocks. Articulation may be achieved through variation of roof lines, setbacks, patterns of door and window placement, and the use of characteristic entry features. To the maimum etent feasible, the height, setback and width of new buildings and alterations to eisting buildings should be similar to those of eisting buildings on the same block. Taller buildings or portions of buildings should be located interior to the site. Buildings at the ends of blocks should be of similar height to buildings on the adjoining blocks. The proposed rowhouses would be 3-stories tail and currently arranged in groups of 4 to 8 units. The ground floor of each unit would be partially below grade, giving the units a 21A-story appearance from certain views. The proposed massing of 4 units along Keosauqua Way does not represent an urban level of massing along the street The site has grade and shape challenges that make it not practical to!ine the entire street frontage with units. However, staff believes that 2 units could be added to the end of the group of 4 units along Keosauqua Way, This would require modification of the driveway into development and the planned storm water management facilities. This change would keep the total number of units the same by shifting the westernmost unit from the southern and northwest rows of buildings to the Keosauqua Way group. Staff believes that moving these two units to the street frontage will increase their desirabiiity, particularly for the northwest unit since st would otherwise be near the Interstate 235 interchange. 3) Building orientation. To the maimum etent feasible, primary facades and entries shall face the adjacent public street. A main entrance should face a connecting walkway with a direct pedestrian connection to the public street without requiring all pedestrians to walk through parking lots or across driveways. The development would have frontage on Keosauqua Way. Four (4) of the 34 units are currently proposed to front the street. The units would setback 15 feet from the front property line. Street side doors are not proposed for these units. The submitted site plan and building elevations do not comply with this guideline. Staff believes that entrances to each unit should be provided that face the street. 4) Garage access/iocation. If the prominent character of garage access and/or location is located to the rear of the properties in the surrounding neighborhood, then new construction should be compatible with such character. Ail garage doors would be oriented to a service drive.

5) Rooftop/second story additions. A rooftop or second floor addition, including but not limited to stairs and emergency egress, should not overhang the front or sidewalls of the eisting building. N/A. 6) Emergency egress. All stairs and means of emergency egress etending more than 15 feet above grade and visible from the adjoining street should be completely enclosed with materials compatible in color and teture with the balance of the building. All stairways and means of egress would be internal to the building. 7) Parking. Parking lots containing more than eight parking spaces should comply with the adopted landscape standards applicable to commercial development in the C-1 district. See subparagraph 4 of Section II for landscaping information. In acting upon any site plan application for development of property located within the Downtown Overlay District, the community development director (or plan and zoning commission if applicable) shall apply the regulations and design guidelines in Section 82-213 of the City Code, which are in consideration of the criteria set forth in Chapter 1 SB of the Iowa Code. The decision to approve, approve subject to conditions or disapprove a proposed site plan shall be based upon the confomnance of the site plan with such design regulations and the following guidelines. These guidelines shall be applied to the entire site when a new building is constructed or when an eisting building is cumulatively epanded by more than 50% of its gross floor area as of the time it became part of the downtown overlay district. If a building is cumulatively epanded by less than 50% of its gross floor area as of the time it became part of the downtown overlay district, then these guidelines shall apply only to the epansion of the building. A) Projects should demonstrate understanding of the micro and macro contet for the project by offering place specific solutions for materiality, massing, uses, fabric and climate that are consistent with the vision of the "What's Net Downtown Plan". In most cases, corporate prototype architecture may not be an acceptable design. The proposed rowhouses would be 3-stories tal! and are currently arranged in groups of 4 to 8 units. The ground level of each unit would contain garage space. The units would have a parapet style roof and have brick and fiber cement board siding. The ground floor of each unit would be partialiy below grade, giving the units a 21/2~story appearance from certain views. The development would have frontage on Keosauqua Way. Only four (4) of the 34 unit would front the street. The units would setback 15 feet from the front property line. Street side doors are not proposed for these units. Staff believes that entrances to each unit should be provided that face the street.

The proposed massing of 4 units along Keosauqua Way does not represent an urban level of massing along the street. The site has grade and shape challenges that make it not practical to iine the entire street frontage with units. However, staff believes that 2 units could be added to the end of the group of 4 units along Keosauqua Way. This would require modification of the driveway Into development and the planned storm water management facilities. This change would keep the total number of units the same by shifting the westernmost unit from the southern and northwest rows of buildings to the Keosauqua Way group. Staff believes that moving these two units to the street frontage will increase their desirability, particularly for the northwest unit since it woufd otherwise be near the Interstate 235 interchange. Underground utilities and black street light fitures and poles are the desired development pattern in the downtown. Development is epected to underground overhead lines and to upgrade street lights in adjoining rights-of-way. Staff recommends approval subject to the undergroundmg of a!! overhead uthlty fines and the replacement of all street lights with black fight fiture and poles. The site is located at a gateway into downtown. Staff believes that focal point landscaping should be provided at the northwest comer of the site along with at the entrance drive. Landscaping can also be used to offset the!ack ofbui!ding frontage along the street. Staff recommends approval subject to review and approval of the finalized landscaping pian by staff. B) Low impact development techniques should be utilized which implement site water quality control solutions, using materials which are locally available and creating projects which minimize energy consumption. Staff is not aware of any proposed low impact development techniques being utilized. Staff believes that native plantings should be used in the basin to provide a water quality benefit in addition to enhancing the aesthetic character of the basin area. C) Connectivity between adjacent properties should be provided or demonstrated for both pedestrian and vehicular circulation. Vehicu!ar access to the site would come from a single driveway to Keosauqua Way. A sidewalk would etend from the site to the public walk along the street. Internal pedestrian and vehicle connections with the adjacent parcels are not practical due to grade and the layout of those properties. D) The incorporation of'soft (green) spaces' on site is encouraged. The site would include a significant amount of green space for a downtown project due to the challenges created by the topography of the site and its irregular shape. E) Where feasible, projects should provide outdoor spaces for people gathering. Each unit would include a balcony and a driveway area that would provide outdoor space. A standalone community gathering space is not proposed. Staff believes that

providing one is not necessary given the number of units and the ample open space that would be provided. F) If feasible, connections to adjoining bike paths or on-street bike facilities and on-site bike racks should be provided in close proimity to building entrances. Bike racks are not noted on the site plan. Staff recommends that providing racks be a condition of approval G) Building heights. Minimum height for all uses should be the lesser of 36 feet or three stories. The units would be 3-stories tail with a total height of 33.34 feet. The site slopes downward from north to south substantially. As a result, some portions of the ground level of each building would be partialty below grade. The proposal complies with this standard. H) Bulk standards, building setbacks, orientation, frontage and residential access: 1. All buildings with river frontage should orient towards the river and have building entrances that are oriented to the river and primary street(s). 2. All buildings without river frontage should have entrances oriented toward primary street(s). 3. Al! buildings should have frontage on principal street(s) of not less than 70 percent of the lot. The subject property has 490 feet of frontage along Keosauqua Way. The proposed development would occupy 19% of that frontage, which does not comply with this standard. The site has grade and shape challenges that make it not practical to line the entire street frontage with units. In addition, there is an access easement and sewer line at the southwest comer of the property that limit use of this portion of the site. Staff believes that 2 units could be moved to the end of the group of 4 units along Keosauqua Way. This would increase the percent offrontage occupy by a building to 28%. This is substantiaily short of the 70% standard, but staff believes this is a reasonable solution given site constraints. Staff's proposal would require modification of the driveway Into development and the planned storm water management facilities, This change would keep the number of units the same by shifting the westernmost unit from the southern and northwest rows of buildings to the Keosauqua Way group. Staff believes that moving these two units to the street frontage will increase their desirability, particularly for the northwest unit since it would otherwise be near the Interstate 235 interchange. 4. For commercial and mied-use buildings, at least 70 percent of the building frontage should be within one foot of the property line.

N/A. 5. At ieast one building entrance for residential uses should directly access the street when a residential use is located above street-ievel retail or commercial uses. N/A. 6. For residential buildings, a maimum setback of 15 feet from the public right-ofway is permitted unless superseded by bulk regulations of the underlying zoning district (i.e. R-HD Residential Historic District, R1-60 Low Density Residential District, etc.). The units that front Keosauqua Way would setback 15 feet from the right-of-way. 1) Storage of all materials and equipment should take place within completely enclosed buildings. No outdoor storage of materials and equipment is proposed. J) All refuse collection containers and dumpsters should be enclosed on all sides by the use of a permanent wall of wood, brick or masonry and steel gates which are compatible in design with the principal structure. Trash enclosures are not proposed. K) All open areas not used for off-street loading or parking should be landscaped in accordance with the Des Moines Landscape Standards for C-3 districts. See subparagraph 4 of Section II for landscaping information. L) Access doors for any warehouse use and any loading docks should not front on any public street. N/A. M) Gas stations/convenience stores should be limited to no more than si pumps and allow no more than 12 vehicles to be fueled at one time. N/A. N) Gas station / convenience stores and canopies, drive-thm facilities for restaurants, banks, parking garages and other auto-dominant uses should not front or have vehicular access on or to a pedestrian corridor as designated in the downtown pedestrian corridor map on fiie in the office of the city clerk as approved by city council resolution. N/A.

0) Eisting curb cuts should be consolidated to the minimum number necessary and be located as directed by the city traffic engineer and community development director. Staff believes that the proposed curb cut is the msnimum number necessary to adequately se/ve the development. P) Parcels proposed for development that are greater than two acres should be rezoned to a planned unit development (PUD) zoning classification. The site measures 2.44 acres. The proposal is subject to several sets of design guidelines ("D-0" District and Muit!p!e-Family Residential) that provide a level of review similar to "PUD" zoning. Q) Auto-dominant uses as described in guideline "N" above should be located in a mied use commercial center and with buildings possessing a unified commercial design. N/A. R) Parking ramps should either include ground floor retail or commercial space, be designed for conversion to retail or commercial space, or have significant architectural detail. N/A. II. ADDITIONAL APPLICABLE INFORMATION 1. Natural Site Features: Development of the site shall be in compliance with the City's Tree Removal and Mitigation Ordinance (Section 42-550 of the City Code). 2. Drainage/Grading: Ali grading is subject to an approved grading permit and soil erosion control plan. The applicant is required to demonstrate compliance with the City's Stonnwater Management requirements to the satisfaction of the City's Permit and Development Center. The submitted site plan and plat include a storm water basin in the southern portion of the site. The unit layout modifications proposed by staff will require the storm water management plan to be altered and may require the use of underground detention in addition to or in place of a basin. 3. Parking: The "R-3" District requires 1 off-street parking space per row dwelling unit. At least one space would be provided in the driveway for each unit. Additionally, each unit would have a two-car garage. 4. Landscaping: The landscaping standards typically applicable to a project of this nature include the following: 1 overstory street tree per 30 lineal feet of frontage. 1 overstory tree and 10 shrubs per 40 lineal feet of parking lot perimeter. 1 overstory tree and 3 shrubs per 25 parking stalls of parking lot interior. 1 overstory tree, 1 evergreen tree and 1 shrub per 2,500 square feet of required open space.

In addition to these standards, plantings are necessary along Keosauqua Way as discussed in Section I of the report for the project to comply with the Downtown Overlay District Design Guideiines. The planting of street trees would require Iowa Department of Transportation approval given the proimity of the site to Interstate 235. Tree plantings on the property that mimic a street tree shall be considered if street trees in the right-of-way are not possible. Staff recommends that approval be subject to review of the finalize landscaping plan by the Planning Administrator to allow staff to work with the applicant on appropriate landscaping. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION Erik Lundv presented the revised site plan, staff report and recommendation. Mike Ludwiq stated that one unit has been added (35 total) and greater lineal feet of frontage along Keo Way is now proposed. Greci Wattier stated he was trying to figure out what they are planning to do with grading. Erik Lundv stated the solution is to have a sidewalk mn in front of the units at a higher grade and a retaining wall along the Keo Way sidewalk. Greq Wattier stated it appear that all connectivity that staff asked for is now lost. Nick Jensen 720 S. 68th St. stated the uniqueness to this product is the 3rd story living, kitchen and dining area, along with a balcony. This site works out very well for this concept, giving each unit a good city view. He does agree with all staff recommendation ecept proposed condition #10 which would require all utility lines on the property or in the adjoining right-of-way to be located underground. Mike Simonson asked if he agrees to underground the utilities to his site? Nick Jensen stated yes. Mike Simonson asked if he was open to overstory trees? Nick Jensen stated he would be open to landscaping that improves the site. David Courard-Hauri asked if the overstory tress would affect the goal of having views into the city. Nick Jensen stated depending on how tall they get, it potentially could. John "Jack" Hilmes clarified what portion of condition #10 the applicant disagreed with. Nick Jensen stated specifically the 3 poles and overhead line along the north edge of the property abutting the 1-235 right-of-way. GreQ Wattier stated it would be a mistake to have so much paving in front of the garages.

Nick Jensen stated there will be green space between driveways. This site will have more green space and guest parking than other sites located downtown. Greg Wattier stated he is ok with striking condition #1 0 but feels it's important to build connections/stairs to units along Keo Way, not creating a raised separation along Keo Way. Nick Jensen stated it could be a beautification element due to Keo Way being so busy and having separation from the street wouldn't be as inviting to just anyone walking down to the street. Mike Simonson asked how high the internal sidewalk is compared to the City sidewalk. Nick Jensen stated on the far noorthwest unit from garage floor to the sidewalk in front of the units would be elevated 8 Vi feet. Grea Wattier stated these units should have stairs from Keo Way. Mike Ludwia stated staff suggested an idea of adding ivy along the retaining wall to soften the walk along Keo Way. Most of the traffic from this site will be traveling south. Interstate 235 creates a barrier for pedestrians trying to go north so the idea of the sidewalk coming down to the South is something staff was willing to consider. Greq Wattier asked the applicant if he was willing to work with staff on connectivity. Mike Jensen stated yes, he doesn't have a preference either way. CHAIRPERSON OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING There was nobody present to speak in favor or opposed to the project. CHAIRPERSON CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING COMMISSION ACTION: Grea Wattier made a motion for approval of the submitted Preliminary Plat subject to the following conditions: 1. Review and approval of any adjustments to the plat layout that are necessary to comply with the conditions of the Site Plan approval by the Planning Administrator. 2. Compliance with all administrative review comments of the City's Pemnit and Development Center. Motion passed 12-0
