TO TRAFFIC IMPACT OF
WEST TOWNE APARTMENTS ON
MORTENSEN ROAD
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS, Section 29.1502 of the Municipal Code provides the City with the authority to
require a traffic impact study prior to approval of a site plan for development; and,
WHEREAS, a traffic study was submitted for the mixed-use development (West Towne
Apartments) currently under construction at 4720 Mortensen Road; and,
WHEREAS,the results of said study concluded that the proposed uses would generate more
traffic than originally contemplated for this site; and,

retail uses to 25%of the total commercial space on the site would keep the traffic generation in line
with the original estimates of the previous traffic study; and,
WHEREAS, an Agreement has been prepared and signed by the developers, Premier
Contractors, Inc., that addresses action to be taken if retail uses of the site exceed 25% of the
commercial uses on the entire site and/or traffic levels and congestion is increased at the intersection
