Ames , Iowa 50010
July 19, 1990
Dear Commission Members ,
We understand there is a request to rezone the land south of
Ontario Street between Georgia Avenue and Florida Avenue for
apartments . We have been told it is standard procedure to
include a buffer zone between apartments and residential
areas . We trust you will assure that there is such a
transitional area included in the approval of any such plans
for an apartment complex adjacent to the Spring Valley
Housing Addition.
We would appreciate any notification regarding hearings for
the rezoning/planning proposals effecting this area.
Thank you for your time and attention to this concern.
Sincerely,
The Spring Valley Homeowner's Association
Carole Otteman Mary Ann Simpson Barbara L . Gano

Wyndham Heights Development
July 13, 1990
Wyndham Heights is a medium density housing community, unique
to Ames, with 10 to 12 units per acre. The design concept
aims at an untapped market of people with comfortable incomes
and desire to avoid individual family home ownership for a
variety of reasons.
The concept is materialized into a neighborhood community by
the use of unique site features, building scale and
individual unit design. The unique character of the site is
accentuated by preserving most mature trees and gentle
sloping hills, landscaping and building placement. The
building layout and scale provides vast open spaces for
social activity centers and easy building access. Eight unit
buildings compose the majority of building types on the site
with only 4 of 11 buildings being 15 units and none of the
buildings being over two stories.
The building design provides sidewalks, front yards, private
outside entries, attached garages, decks and spacious high
style dwelling units and more.
Both building setting and the individual building character
are important to produce a secure and unified environment,
similar to a single family community.
The building configuration produces a central activity park
which includes: volleyball, Basketball, Jogging, SwimmiHg,
Club House Activities, and more.
The site, building design, and park activities are important
to create an exciting and fulfilling rental community for
Ames .
