Special Use Permit Cover Letter
11/22/2011
Project Location: 2811 Hyatt Circle,Ames, IA 50010
We are asking for ZBA to approve a new set of architectural drawings for 2811 Hyatt Circle. The
original approved set was preliminary and not intended to be the final construction set of drawings. The
new architectural drawings still meet the requirements of the restrictive covenants for Ames
Community Development Park Subdivision,4th addition. All the other documents resubmitted today
have stayed the same as before.
In general,the building plan and exteriors have remained very similar to the original set. The
main entry on the West has been reconfigured to better separate the pets as they go in and out of the
facility. Four of the windows are now smaller to provide better energy efficiency. The high windows on
the North and South sides have been eliminated because of an interior ceiling height change. The
overhead door on the North side that leads to the outdoor dog play area has also been reduced in size
for better energy efficiency. A larger door is not needed for dogs to walk in and out of the building. The
overall height of the building is now approximately 5'shorter than before,due to shorter exterior walls
and a less steep roof pitch. Locations and quantities of brick and stone have been changed for design
and cost reasons. The metal siding has been changed from horizontal to vertical to better fit in with the
future buildings that will be in the subdivision.

Special Use Permit for 2811 Hyatt Circle
Supporting Information for a Proposed Use in a Zone other than Residential or
Commercial
"General Standards"
1. Be harmonious with and in accordance with the general
principals and proposals of the Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP)
In accordance with the goals set forth by the LUPP, Ames Pet Resort (APR) is
able to meet the following objectives and be well suited for operation at 2811 Hyatt
Circle.
GOAL 1: In regard to growth and services needed in the community, there currently is
no business in Ames similar to our vision.
Industry standards indentify our target market being within a 20 minute drive time of our
facility. As indicated in the attached drive time map, the market we will serve consists of
nearly all of Story County, a portion of east Boone County, and a small piece of north
Polk County. Our presence at this location will allow us to provide a needed service to
this entire region.
The proposed building and location will also allow for expansion if future needs in the
community exceed our capacity.
GOAL 2: APR's proposed site is on land currently set aside for development_ Being
located within the Ames Community Development Park, 4t' addition, will allow us to
provide a high-end pet care facility and ample space for high quality care with no
intrusion upon potential retail, service, or residential neighbors.
GOAL 3: Because APR is a service business rather than a manufacturer, environmental
impact will be minimal.
Aside from streets and utilities, this entire portion of Bell Ave. is undeveloped, has
weeds, and has minimal grass and other greenery; APR will landscape, plant trees, and
maintain a well groomed open space on the property.
In terms of energy use; water, electricity, waste created, and other necessary resources
will be minimal. The business of caring for small pets has a small impact on the
environment and this location will also minimize travel time for those within the target
market.
GOAL 4: Ames Pet Resort will not be an independent service, per say, but rather a
community business. We will work with local animal shelters concerning education of
the public, provide a service specifically aimed at easing residents' schedules, provide a
service that encourages good care of animals, and allow for an area where both pets and
pet owners may interact together.
GOAL 5: This property lies within an emerging area which Ames has set aside for
development and provided public improvements and infrastructure.
GOAL 7: This location will be convenient for our core customer base. Proximity to I-35
and Highway 30 is an ideal way point for travelers. Locating at 2811 Hyatt Circle allows
for more efficient use of personal automobiles for those in need of our service.
GOAL 9: Ames Pet Resort is a small business which will bring an immediate addition of
six jobs to our community. The types of jobs created will require some special training,
such as veterinary tech, pet care and grooming, and managerial/service business
experience.
Also, services solicited will require higher education, such as IT experts and veterinary
services. Our proximity to one of the finest veterinary schools in the country will more
easily allow for the future addition of services not currently offered.
GOAL 10: This location for APR will not intrude upon or require any buffering space
for historically/architecturally significant structures or areas.
2. Be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained so as to be
harmonious in appearance with the existing or intended character of the
general vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character
of the area in which it is proposed.
Rather than changing the intended appearance/character, Ames Pet Resort will
improve the existing area.
Infrastructure is in place but there presently is no commercial development. The land is
not maintained nor being utilized for commercial enterprise, therefore we intend to
improve the immediate area by locating an attractive building and valued service at this
site.
It is our goal to improve the area, both commercially and environmentally.
Commercially, we will provide a much needed service in a convenient location.
Environmental improvements will result from planting trees, grass, and flowers. We will
maintain well groomed landscaping surrounding the building and open space adjacent to
the building and parking lot.
3. Not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future uses in the
same general vicinity.
Our use (kennel) is currently an allowable use within this zone; however, APR's
use will exceed the current allowable square footage. There is no existing use in the
immediate area and we will have no impact on any current or future uses within the
vicinity. We are a service business with normal hours of operation.
4. - Be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police, fire protection, drainage structure,
refuse disposal, water and sewage facilities, and/or schools.
This location already has the essential utilities in place, including all facilities
listed.
5. Not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for
public facilities and services.
We do not anticipate any requirements in addition to infrastructure which is
already in place.
6. Not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, or
conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any person, property,
or general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise,
smoke, fumes, glare, or odors.
All services performed at APR will be no different than caring for an animal
within a home, except more efficient and environmentally friendly. The only potential
issues pertinent to our business will be noise and odors.
As opposed to a traditional kennel, animals will not have free access to the outside of the
building. Dogs outside will always be accompanied by an APR employee and be
supervised within a private and fenced area. In addition, the dogs' access to outdoor
areas will be limited by number of animals at one time, hours of operation, and duration
of outdoor sessions. Inside the building there will be adequate sound-proofing so as not
to disturb customers or neighboring businesses.
Animal waste, inside and outside, will be disposed of immediately by our aggressive
policies regarding a clean, safe environment with equipment in place to handle waste in a
clean, efficient manner. [Also,please reference attachment#2]
7. Be consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zone in which it
is proposed to locate such use.
A primary purpose of a GI zone, General Industrial Zone, is"to promote
economic viability of a type generally not appropriate for or compatible with retail sales
areas." We are confident our use and vision for the space, located at 2811 Hyatt Circle, is
compatible with the GI zone and less suited for retail sales areas currently available.
Kennels up to 3,000 sq' are already a permitted use in GI. Our proposed building is
6,888 sq' located on a 1.35 acre lot.
Commercial zones allow kennel usage without square foot restrictions. However, due to
the typical closeness of retail and service businesses within the Commercial zones, we
feel our use is better suited for the GI zone. Other zones allowing our use without size
restrictions are often bordered by residential zones. Locating our proposed facility in a
zone other than GI has the potential to create issues with neighbors.
Attachment #2
Special Use Permit for 2811 Hyatt Circle
Use Analysis
1. Ames Pet Resort will provide approximately 3-4 full time
jobs and 2-3 part time positions.
2. Approximate utility needs are as follows:
- Projected water demand; 312 GPD/9360 GPM
- Waste water generation; same as water demand
- Electricity demand; 5-10 KW
- Storm water increase; pre development 1.1.2 CFS
post development 0.25 CFS
- Solid waste generation; less than 1 ton/month
3. Possible nuisance factors and plans to alleviate are limited to
noise and/or odor.
Noise from dogs inside the building will be confined to the
boarding and play areas. Adequate sound proofing and
insulation materials will be used to dampen sounds from inside.
Outside areas for dogs are limited to one 2,460 sq' fenced and
private play area. Animals will not have access to this area
without staff supervision and hours of access will be limited.
Dogs will use this outside space for exercise, bathroom breaks,
and weather permitting, scheduled periods of socialization.
Animal waste, inside and outside, will be disposed of
immediately. We have a very aggressive policy regarding a
clean and safe environment. Solid waste will be bagged and
disposed of and all areas of the facility will be free of odors
from urine or feces with the use high pressure spray equipment
and environmentally friendly anti bacterial cleansers.
