Re: Request for C-5 Zoning by Iowa
Realty Company
Our File No. P-501, 2840
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
The attached site plan for Lincoln Manor Apartments and Lincoln Building, as
proposed by the Iowa Realty Company, are presented as specified by the C-5
rezoning requirements.
Lincoln Manor Apartments are existing structures on property zoned R-3. This
property has a large surplus of parking area and the entire site is nearly void of
landscaping. The owner proposes the following changes and additions to the
property as a condition to the C-5 zoning request.
1. Over 12,000 square feet of asphalt parking lot abutting
Lincoln Way will be removed and replaced with extensive
landscaping. In addition to the landscaping, 20' x 90' x 3'
and 20' x 130' x 3' earth berms will be constructed to
further screen the remaining parking lot from Lincoln
Way.
2. A 9,000 square foot office building containing Iowa Realty's
Ames office, in addition to other businesses, will be
constructed near Lincoln Way.
3. The remainder of the parking lot will be remarked with the
addition of landscaped traffic islands and additional lighting.
4. A considerable amount of additional landscaping will be
provided in and around the existing Lincoln Manor
Apartments.

5. Existing storm drainage will remain basically unchanged.
6. The proposed construction is designed to provide more
efficient use of the land while also providing a safer and
more aesthetic environment for the residents of Lincoln
Manor and surrounding areas.
A representative of Iowa Realty Company or I will be in attendance at your Public
Hearing to answer any questions you might have.
Respectfully submitted,
