STAFF REPORT ON INDEPENDENT HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS OF RIVERSIDE MANOR
AT 1209 S. 4 STREET: Planning and Housing Director Kelly Diekmann recalled that, at its TH
December 9, 2014, meeting, the City Council had deferred action on a Minor Final Plat for a
proposed two-lot subdivision at 1209 S. 4th Street (Prairie Village Subdivision located at
Riverside Manor). The Council had passed a motion referring this item back to staff asking for
a third-party evaluation of the hydraulic effects of the proposed project on the Oak-Riverside
Neighborhood north of the site and to explore what level of oversight is needed to ensure that
the project would be built as approved. It was anticipated that the staff would return to the City
Council with a report on who might do the requested analysis, how much it would cost, and who
would pay the cost for the analysis. In working on the referral, staff determined that relevant
flooding information was available from an analysis performed for the City’s Grand Avenue
Extension project. Director Diekmann said that staff needed to know if, after seeing the analysis,
the Council wanted an additional site-specific study performed in order to further understand
4
changes in potential flood impacts on the Oak Riverside Neighborhood.
Mr. Diekmann explained the options available to the Council:
1.It could find that the preliminary hydraulic modeling based on the 2D IDOT Model satisfies
its request for additional information and does not require a site-specific study.
Director Diekmann noted that, if the City Council wishes to have a more formal report, staff had
already obtained proposals from two firms that could provide an independent analysis and
prepare a written report for the Council.
2.HDR of Des Moines, Iowa, who performed the preliminary analysis can reconstruct the work
already done and add an explanatory technical report describing how the results were
obtained.
According to Mr. Diekmann, the cost for that option would be approximately $900 and
would take around two weeks to complete.
3.Snyder and Associates of Ankeny, Iowa, would perform the analysis by using the current
1999 1-D Hydraulic Model.
The fee would be $750 and would take about a week following receipt of the digital file of
the grading plan.
Council Member Gartin advised that he would not be participating in the discussion and would
be abstaining from the vote on this item due to a conflict of interest.
Council Member Orazem asked if the City already had a report from FOX Engineering on this
issue. Mr. Kuester advised that the City did not have an actual modeling report from FOX
Engineering; it had only done a visual analysis. Planner Kuester added, however, that a
professional engineer had reviewed the data and the City’s report and felt that it had satisfied
that it conveyed what the analysis had stated.
Council Member Goodman stated he was satisfied that the data accurately depicted a 100-year
event; his concern is what might happen in a larger event.
Ms. Betcher asked if there would be value in HDR visiting the site and taking photographs. Mr.
Kuester replied that that was probably in HDR’s standard scope of services. He felt that it would
merely verify that they were modeling the correct site.
Judy Lemish, 327 S. Maple, Ames, read an excerpt from the Ames Tribune dated September 14,
2010. She quoted comments from Erv Klaas about the flooding potential in Ames due to the
location of the juncture of Squaw Creek and the Skunk River. Ms. Lemish gave the history that
a creek actually flowed through where Downtown Ames currently exists. Parts of Ames were
actually swamp lands. She said she had always wondered why, when all the dirt is allowed to
be brought in, they thought that it would only make a small difference. Ms. Lemish noted that
500-year floods affect her property; 100-year floods do not. She stated her belief that Ames will
have to endure more 500-year floods due to global warming, and she does not believe that using
a 100-year flood for the modeling is sufficient. Ms. Lemish said that caution is in order and
5
asked the City Council to approve Option 2, i.e., hire HDR of Des Moines to reconstruct the
work already done and add an explanatory technical report describing how the results were
obtained. She also asked that a 500-year flood be used for the modeling.
Michael Peterson, 3302 Morningside Street, Ames, urged the Council to consider having a more
thorough and updated study of the area in question. He said that he was hopeful that the current
City Council could learn from past City Council’s mistakes in the overall philosophy when
unbridled development has been allowed to occur along the South Duff Corridor, along U. S.
Highway 30, and other areas around Squaw Creek and the Skunk River. Mr. Peterson gave his
opinion of what would happen around the area in question if more dirt was brought in in light
of the land already being built up higher. He urged the Council not to allow developers to elevate
land in order to develop it. Mr. Peterson asked the Council to listen to the experts, not those
hired by the developers, and to carefully consider the long-term effects to the residents and the
community.
Moved by Orazem, seconded by Goodman, to approve Option 2: approve HDR of Des Moines,
who did the preliminary hydraulic modeling based on the 2D IDOT Model, can reconstruct the
work already done and add an explanatory technical report describing how the results were
obtained.
Council Member Goodman stated his concern that the City might be setting up a home(s) to
flood because it did not use the 500-year flood level as the model. Director Diekmann estimated
that using the 500-year flood model would cost an additional $3,500; however, he would have
to check with the engineers to determine if that estimate was correct.
Council Member Betcher noted that the neighborhood around 1204 S. 4 Street is one of Ames’th
core neighborhoods, and she believes that the lives and homes of the people living there are
worth more than $3,500. She would feel much more comfortable if a 500-year flood model
would be used. Mr. Orazem advised that he would agree with that if the additional cost was not
too prohibitive.
Moved by Betcher, seconded by Goodman, to amend the motion to direct that a 500-year flood
model be used if the cost of the additional work would not exceed $3,500.
Vote on Amendment: 5-0-1. Voting aye: Betcher, Corrieri, Goodman, Nelson, Orazem. Voting
nay: None. Abstaining due to a conflict of interest: Gartin. Motion declared carried.

PRESENTATION OF RESIDENTIAL HIGH-DENSITY EVALUATION TOOL: Planning and
Housing Director Diekmann recalled that the City Council had conducted a workshop on
November 18, 2014, to discuss general trends of residential development with a focus on
Residential High Density (RH) development. That discussion was initiated due to multiple active
requests for Council to consider rezoning of property or for Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP)
amendments to designate land for high density.
Mr. Diekmann noted that there currently were five active requests for rezoning or LUPP
amendments to allow High Density Residential. According to Mr. Diekmann, the estimated
development potential of all five combined requests ranges from 850 to 1,400 units, and that
number of new units would correlate roughly to 1,600 to 4,200 bedrooms. Development of all
6
of those multiple-family units would be a 10- 15% increase in multi-family housing units for the
City.
It was noted by Director Diekmann, that at its November 18, 2014, meeting, the Council had
reviewed the relevant LUPP goals and discussed their applicability to the review of RH requests.
Discussion included statements regarding the need for housing options for non-students,
conversion of commercial land to residential, CyRide access and capacity, architectural design,
affordable housing, location in the community, and access to services. Council then directed
staff to return to Council with a “tool” to evaluate the suitability of individual requests for RH
development. The basis of the tool would be the language of the LUPP that guides interests for
new residential development.
The Council was told by Director Diekmann that the proposed evaluation tool highlights six
primary subjects with explanatory sub-elements and is set up to act as a quick assessment tool
for sorting a proposal into relative tiers of LUPP consistency. The first tier would have attributes
of a high number of LUPP objectives; a second tier would have an average or neutral position
with some positive attributes, but not readily distinguishable from many sites across the City;
and a third tier position would be where a project lacks attributes of most LUPP objectives or
has some substantial negative attributes. Mr. Diekmann stated that staff had not weighted or
prioritized any one topic over another with the tool; however, if a decision were to be made to
use the tool, Council may want to discuss weighting and/or prioritizing components and how to
use the tool. The tool could be used to score projects or simply to highlight positives or negatives
of a proposed project. The six subject topics of the evaluation tool include: a) Location and
Surroundings; b) Site Features; c) Housing Types and Design; d) Transportation; e) Public
Utilities and Services; f) Investment/Catalyst. Each topic was further described by Director
Diekmann.
John Haila, 2408 Suncrest Drive, Ames, advised that he was present at this meeting in his
capacity as Chairman of the Ames Transit Board. He brought the Council’s attention to his
memo dated November 19, 2014, pertaining to the future of CyRide. He noted that, since FY
2005/06, CyRide ridership has increased by 70% (4.1 million to over 7 million) between Fiscal
Year (FY) 2005/06 and FY 2014/15. The increases were due primarily as the result of the
increase in student enrollment at Iowa State University (ISU). According to Mr. Haila, the
Transit Board has remained committed to maintaining the same level of service that had existed
prior to the significant growth in ridership. Mr. Haila said that one of the things that makes the
response to ridership demand so challenging is that most of the high-demand destinations are
high-density residential developments that are distributed throughout the community. He pointed
out that transit routes had not formerly existed in many of those areas or had required a minimal
service level to be provided.
Mr. Haila further stated that an obvious strategy to enable CyRide to continue providing the
same level of exceptional service would be to seek additional monies from the three funding
bodies. However, because the amounts needed are so significant as the City continues to expand,
the Transit Board was seeking other possibilities to address the projected growth in ridership.
It was noted by Mr. Haila that land use decisions that concentrate the high-density ridership
generators near the ISU Campus or along arterial streets on existing transit routes would assist
CyRide in providing its service in the most-efficient manner. He said that it would also be
helpful to CyRide if the Council would consider utilizing a contract rezoning mechanism when
responding to requests to rezone certain properties that include apartments. In those instances
7
when CyRide’s existing system cannot accommodate the increase in ridership demand resulting
from the new apartment development, the developer could agree to pay CyRide annually for the
additional costs to provide the level of bus service needed.
Council Member Goodman shared that he liked the idea of applying the tool to the community
in general. He suggested that long-term durability of the building(s) be included, and along with
that, perhaps addressing the quality of building materials and design. Another consideration
might be if the units were considered affordable housing, e.g., accepting Section 8 vouchers. Mr.
Goodman would like affordable housing to be included in the Investment/Catalyst topic. Council
Member Betcher noted that it was already included under Housing Type and Design. Mr.
Goodman stated that he would like it included in the Investment/Catalyst category in addition
to being under Housing Type and Design.
Council Member Orazem pointed out that others besides students rent apartments. He indicated
that it would be a good idea for the City to learn who is renting the units, where they are located,
and whether the demand is being met. However, he is unsure how that data could be captured.
Mr. Diekmann responded that that type of data is hard to capture.
Council Member Betcher stated that the City might need to look at its zoning laws more
creatively in order to accommodate more flexible mixed-use projects.
Council Member Gartin asked when the new tool, if approved by the City Council, would start
to be used, and in particular, would it be inclusive of the five requests. Mr. Diekmann stated that
the new tool is meant to address the pending requests. The three rezoning requests would
continue through the normal process. It should not be assumed, however, that the two LUPP
Amendment requests would be considered as highly rated potential sites that would be desirable
for allowing RH development.
It was noted by Mr. Gartin that there is a current demand for more high-density residential
housing; there might be multiple requests coming in simultaneously. Director Diekmann
clarified that the City Council would hear the merits of one request at a time; it would never be
used to leverage one project against another. He noted that Council would need to indicate some
parameters for studying the City in terms of the minimum size of sites, new, or redevelopment
opportunities. It was suggested by Mr. Diekmann that the five possible RH developments be put
on the same layer as the high and then make a relative geographical comparison of them.
Moved by Orazem, seconded by Goodman, to direct staff to consider how to apply the
evaluation tool to available lands within the community, using the six topics: (1) Location and
Surroundings, (2) Site Features, (3) Housing Types and Design, (4) Transportation, (5) Public
Utilities and Services, and (6) Investment/Catalyst.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Moved by Orazem, seconded by Gartin, to direct staff to evaluate the two pending LUPP
amendments on a future agenda to give direction on whether or not to proceed with either
project, and if so, in what manner.
Director Diekmann clarified that, with that motion, Council was directing staff to place those
on a future agenda, including information about other sites in the City.
8
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Council Member Goodman stated his opinion that there needs to be a discussion on CyRide’s
current philosophy on service. He noted his concern that, in light of the fact that Council has just
approved the evaluation tool, whether to include transit access and transit capacity needed to be
decided soon. Mr. Goodman said that it is important to protect the financial health of CyRide.
Council Member Orazem pointed out that a big issue for CyRide is that it was predicated by
federal funding, which has pretty much dried up.
Moved by Gartin, seconded by Betcher, to direct that staff use the tool to evaluate rezoning
applications.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
