To: Mayor and Ames City Council Members
From: Steven L. Schainker, City Manager
Date: October 18, 2013
Subject: Agenda Item 23 on October 22, 2013 City Council Agenda
Item 23 on the October 22, 2013 Council Meeting Agenda involves a hearing on
the proposed zoning amendment to change the Campustown building step-back
requirement. You will recall that this change was requested by the Kingland
Systems representatives to facilitate their proposed redevelopment project.
The City staff and the Kingland team have been working diligently to complete
our assigned tasks in order to adhere to the desired schedule to begin the project
by the first of the year. Based on previous feedback from the Council, the
developer was to provide elevations and other related information prior to the
Council initiating a Zoning Code amendment. Initially, it was anticipated that this
information would be available for City Council review and,therefore, a public
hearing was set for the October 22 Council meeting.
Kingland representatives have been working very hard to satisfy the desires of
their major tenant and respond to suggestions from the City staff. As a result, the
proposed site plan, elevations, and other associated information will not be ready
for Council review until the next regular Council meeting. Therefore,the Council
is being asked to open the hearing for Item 23 and continue it until November 12th.
