PUBLIC FORUM: No one spoke during this time.
HEARING ON ADAPTIVE REUSE FOR 2501 AND 2801 GRAND AVENUE AND 2801
FERNDALE AVENUE/MAJOR SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR NORTH GRAND
MALL: City Manager Schainker noted that, on September 13, 2011, when discussing the
2
proposed Adaptive Reuse Agreement, the City Council directed that he negotiate a date that was
acceptable to the owner that would trigger the calling of the Performance Bond and revert back
to the original requirement of the reconfiguration of Lot 2 if it were not met. Mr. Schainker
reported that he had met with Greg Kveton, who represented G. K. Development, on several
occasions. According to City Manager Schainker, after their most-recent meeting, Mr. Kveton
indicated that he was willing to agree to allow the City to examine and evaluate, by September
1, 2012, copies of (1) signed leases with two new tenants in “Retail A” and “Retail D,” and (2)
a financial investment in the form of a loan commitment in the amount not less than $8,000,000.
As requested by the Council, the Supplemental Agreement included a performance deadline for
specific desired actions on the part of the owner and a reversion provision that allows the City
to revoke the amended Adaptive Reuse Site Plan and other permits or approvals related to the
site plan. Because of those provisions, the existing Performance Bond would be maintained until
the required actions were accomplished. If they were not, the Performance Bond would be called
by the City and the proceeds used to reconfigure the parking on Lot 2 in accordance with the
existing Adaptive Reuse Plan. Mr. Schainker reported the Remote Parking Agreement had been
signed by G. K. Development.
City Manager Schainker advised the options available to the City Council: the City Council
could approve the Supplemental Agreement or decide not to approve the Supplemental
Agreement and send the matter back to City staff with further direction concerning what
modifications to the proposed agreement were needed before it could be supported. According
to Mr. Schainker, the City Council must decide if the provisions of the proposed Agreement
related to [1] the actions that need to be performed (signed leases/construction loan commitment)
and [2] the deadline to perform those actions (September 1, 2012) went far enough to provide
the desired level of protection.
Mayor Cam pbell opened the public heari ng.
Greg Kveton, G. K. Development, Barrington, Illinois, said that the two anchor tenants are not
allowing Mr. Kveton to announce their names at this point. He advised, however, that the anchor
that will be housed in the former Sears building (“Retail D”) had signed the lease and is ready
to begin re-construction of the space. According to Mr. Kveton, “Retail A” is moving forward
with the deal and is in negotiations with G. K. Development. It is anticipated that the lease will
be signed within th e nex t 30 d ays or sooner. According to Mr. Kveton, “Retail A” will be a
ground lease, which means that the retailer leases the building pad and constructs its own
building. Before it will commit to the lease, all zoning regulations must be in place. He also
stated that “Retail D” is contingent on “Retail A” opening on the site. Mr. Kveton said that the
developer has to demolish buildings, which will cost approximately $500,000, and get plans
approved before it closes on the construction loan. The lender will not close on the loan unless
there are signed leases with the two anchor tenants, the rezoning has been approved, the site plan
has been approved, all equity for the project is in place, and all the title clearances have been
satisfied.
Noting that the community wants something to happen at North Grand Mall, Council Member
Larson asked why September 1, 2012, was selected as the date to provide the leases to the City
Council. Mr. Kveton said that date was chosen to give them “room should something delay the
leases.” He noted that he is very hopeful and fairly confident that the leases will be signed
possibly before the end of the month. Mr. Kveton reported that the construction financing has
to occur no later than March 2012; construction is scheduled to begin on the site by April 2012.
3
At this time, “Retail D” plans to open in the fall of 2012. That tenant has the option, but not the
obligation, to open in Fall 2012. Mr. Larson said he had concerns about waiting until September;
he preferred to see the leases by May 2012. Mr. Kveton reported that the pad must be turned
over to “Retail A” by August 2012; however, the lease has not yet been finalized.
Council Member Goodman asked if there could be two dates; the lease for “Retail D” could be
provided prior to September 2012 and the lease for “Retail A” could be provided by September
2012. Mr. Kveton informed the Council that the retailers have the right to decide when they will
open; although G. K. Development would like to collect rent on the space as soon as possible,
that date is not up to G. K. Development. Delays occur sometimes, and the developer wants to
allow for that.
Council Member Davis asked how long after the leases are executed would the developer notify
the City. Mr. Kveton said it would be a few days to a week. He reported that it is crucial to the
lenders that the zoning contingency be eliminated; the key element is that the rezoning be in
place so the loan can close.
Council Member Orazem said that he was not in favor of challenging the dates. He believes that
the developer has incentives to act as quickly as possible; therefore, he is fine with the proposed
September 2012 date.
Adaptive Reuse Plan/Major Site Development Plan. Planner Charlie Kuester noted that, in 2007,
the City Council approved an Adaptive Reuse Plan for North Grand Mall; that approval was for
the entire mall site from 24th Street to 30th Street, including a small parcel on the west side of
Ferndale Avenue west of the mall. Since that site plan had been approved, only the Walgreens
store had been built, the KFC restaurant had been demolished, and the Wells Fargo and Furman
buildings are now vacant. Mr. Kuester advised that the owners (Grand Center Partners and North
Grand Mall Partners) are now requesting changes to the Adaptive Reuse Plan in response to the
changing economic environment since 2007 and to meet the space needs of their new potential
tenants. The Sears building and buildings south of that will be demolished as will the Wells
Fargo and Furman buildings. The owner proposes to renovate the former Sears store, build new
retail space, improve landscaping, and change traffic flow into and within the site. Mr. Kuester
described the proposed site development in more detail. He noted that the proposed revisions to
the Adaptive Reuse Plan include a new entrance along the west edge of the mall proper ty. It
consists of two exit lanes that allow for left and right turns onto 24th Street and a single entry
lane; that is intended to be the main entrance off of 24th Street for the new retail spaces.
Mr. Kuester advised that two restaurant sites were proposed for which no specific building
footprint had been submitted. The “Restaurant F” site sits within the mall parking area in Lot 2
and is set back 50 feet from property lines. The “Restaurant G” site sits on a grassy area where
the former KFC building was located on Lot 1. The mall owner intends to market these sites for
tenants and then build to suit.
Pertaining to landscaping, Mr. Kuester advised that, as part of the Adaptive Reuse Plan that was
approved in 2007, landscaping along the perimeter of the site was to increase and include some
site landscaping in the adjacent rights-of-way. He reported that the Adaptive Reuse provisions
of the Code allow discretion by the City Council in meeting the development standards of the
Zoning Ordinance. In 2007, the City Council waived some of the interior landscaping in return
for in creased perim eter land scaping in t he rights -of-way and more color and texture in the
4
pavement design. On September 13, 2011, the Council allowed lesser landscaping; however, it
was not explicit in its discussion on what level of landscaping would be appropriate for Lot 2.
The landscaping plan that was recently submitted includes both Lots 1 and 2. The landscaping
shown on Lot 1 is consistent with the plan presented to the City Council on September 13, 2011.
On Lot 2, the plan is similar to Lot 1 on the east side along Grand Avenue; however, on the west
side, there are no additional landscaping features. According to Mr. Kuester, it remains
consistent with the or iginal landscape plan of 1970, which is a reduction from what was
approved in the 2007 plan.
Also according to Mr. Kuester, the City Council has the authority to decide that the landscaping
shown on the submitted site plan was adequate under the provisions of the Adaptive Reuse
standards or to require a greater or lesser degree of landscaping. The specific waivers being
requested by the owners were explained by Mr. Kuester, as follows:
1.Waiver of minimum building setback requirement. The proposed “Retail E” does not meet
the required 50-foot setback fro m the pu bl ic ri ght-of-w ay.
2.Waiver of landscaping in setbacks abutting a residentially zoned lot requirement. The area
abutting the apartment building on 24th Street is screened with shrubs and trees, but is only
12 feet in width, not the required 20 feet. The applicant proposes to install a six-foot wooden
fence at the property line in addition to the six-foot shrubs.
3.Waiver of minimum landscape area requirement. The zoning standards require a 15%
minimum landscape area on the development. Currently, the entire site comprises 4.42% of
lands capin g. The proposed site plan increases the landscaping area to 6.99%, which is a 58%
increase in what is there now.
Planner Kuester noted that, since the site is a redeveloped site, non-conformities are not
required to be brought up to current standards unless th ey are removed entirely. In this case,
much of the parking lot will remain.
4.Waiver of setback and perimeter landscaping requirements. Standards require shrubs to be
spaced four feet apart between the trees. The spacing shown on the proposed site plan
indicates that shrubs will be spaced eight to ten feet apart. Also, shrubs are shown only along
the south, east, and a portion of the north property lines.
According to Mr. Kuester, what is shown is consistent with what the City Council saw in
September 2011, to which it gave tacit approval.
5.Waiver of surface parking area interior landscaping requirements. Parking lots of the size
of this redevelopment require a 9'x16' landscape island for every 20 interior parking spaces
and a 15-foot-wide landscaped median for every three contiguous double-loaded drive aisles.
The owner proposes landscaped islands at each end of the parking rows.
It was pointed out by Mr. Kuester that, if the owner were to install all the required islands
and medians, it would reduce the available parking to below the tenants’ needs or City
requirements.
5
6.Waiver of surface parking lot landscape plan requirements. Parking areas of more than 16
spaces must have landscaped areas equal to ten percent of the parking lot surface area within
and surrounding the parking lot. The total area of the parking area is 868.482 square feet,
requiring 86,948 square feet of landscaping within or adjacent to the parking area. The total
landscaping on Lots 1 and 2 is 78,890 square feet.
7.Waiver of driveway widths. One driveway on Ferndale Avenue exceeds the maximum
followed by the Statewide Urban Design and Specifications (SUDAS) Manual. In this
instance, the applicant has provided turning movement information that supports the need
for the 52-foot driveway to accommodate the expected 67-foot wheelbase semi-trailer trucks
that will serve the retail space.
According to Mr. Kuester, the City Traffic Engineer supports the proposed waiver.
Planner Kuester advised that the Adaptive Reuse/Major Site Development Plan reflects the
existing lots that were created in 2007 as the Streets of North Grand Subdivision; however, the
owner has indicated that, at some future time, “Retail A” will want to be on its own separately
platted lot. Platting will be needed by the tenant of “Retail A” for leasing and tax purposes,
which will require the submittal of a subdivision plat for review and action by the City Council.
Upon being questioned by Council Member Larson, Mr. Kuester stated that screening of
mechanical un it s wil l be necessary.
Mr. Kuester advised that staff had received all required submittals needed to approve
development for “Retail A, B, C, and D.”
Council Member Larson asked staff to look at the “fence” in front of Walgreen’s on the west side
of Grand where there is a drop-off down to the parking lot. He had gotten a call from a
constituent alleging that the fence was not safe and is disrepair. Mr. Larson had gone to the site
and verified that the fence appeared to be unsafe. Mr. Kuester said that he believed that fence
belonged to Walgreens, but had been built on City right-of-way. He will follow up on the
concern.
There b eing no one el se wishing to speak, the Mayor clo sed th e heari ng.
Moved by Goodman, seconded by Orazem, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 12-009 approving the
Supplemental Development Agreement for Streets of North Grand Subdivision.
Alth ough he said he would not be voting against approving the Agreement, Council M ember
Larson stated that he disagreed with Co uncil M ember O razem suggesting that there w ould be no
ramifications to leav ing the d ate as September 2012 for identifying the lessees. The developer
has incentives to get the project accomplished as soon as possible; h owev er, the propo sed tenan ts
can op t to de lay.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these minutes.

Moved by Goodman, seconded by Larson, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 12-010 approving the
Adaptive Reuse/Major Site Development Plan for North Grand Mall, with the specific waivers
requested, with the following conditions:
1.That a Remote Parking Agreement be submitted and approved by the City Council allowing
the excess parking spaces on Lot 1 to make up the deficit on Lot 2;
2.That approval of the Adaptive Reuse/Major Site Development Plan be subject to approval
of a Supplemental Development Agreement pertaining to the Streets of North Grand
Subdivision by the City and the owner;
3.That the Agreement for the 45-foot access easement be submitted for review by the City prior
to seeking authorization for “Alternative A” for “Retail E.” (If not submitted for review, the
“Retail E” layout as shown on Sheet C3.0 is approved);
4.That the entire area of all landscaped traffic islands be excavated to a depth one foot below
the bottom of the root ball of the proposed trees and that clean soil be installed; which also
includes the explicit authorization of the City Council to allow the Planning and Housing
Director to approve the development of “Retail E” and “Restaurant F” upon review and
submittal of a Minor Site Development Plan that meets the following conditions:
a.The Minor Site Development Plan for “Retail E” must be consistent with the approved
Adaptive Reuse Plan for North Grand Mall and comply with the specific waivers granted.
b.The Minor Site Development Plan for “Retail E” must include elevation drawi ngs that
indicate that the finish materials and architectural features are consistent on all four sides
of the structure. Window and door patterns (or equivalent design features) will also need
to be carried around the building in a manner that ensures the design of the rear of the
structure is appropriate for such a prominent public exposure.
c.The Minor Site Development Plan for “Restaurant F” must be consistent with the
approved Adaptive Reuse Plan for North Grand Mall and comply with the specific
waivers granted.
d.The Minor Site Development Plan for “Restaurants F” and “G” must not allow for a
deficit of parking to occur on Lots 1 and 2 combined.
e.The Minor Site Development Plan for “Restaurant F” must contain a minimum of 960
square feet of landscape. This is equivalent to a three-foot border of landscaping around
the proposed building although this landscaping can be placed anywhere within the 0.45
-acre “Restaurant F” site.

REQUEST FOR LAND USE POL ICY PLAN (LUPP) MAP CHANGE FOR 516 SOUTH 17TH
STREET: City Manager Schainker noted that staff had been directed by the City Council to provide
a report with background information and history on the area and the reason for the request; that
report had been prepared and provided to the Council. Mr. Schainker explained that if the City
Council wished additional action on this request, it needed to provide that direction to staff. He
further informed the Council that it needed to decide whether or not to authorize a formal application
of a Land Use Policy Plan Map Amendment. He cautioned that Council should not deliberate on the
merits of a Map Amendment at this time; that action would occur at a later date should the matter
be referred.
Council Member Orazem asked if there had been any increase in traffic in this area. Mr.
Schainker advised that, due to the density of apartments in the area, CyRide had increased the
number of buses routed to the area. Council Member Wacha, who serves as the City Council
representative to Transit Board, noted that the route frequency was the same; however, more
buses had been added.
Council Member Goodman said that he understood the frustration of the owner in that the land
does not provide access to any arterial. Mr. Larson noted that he preferred not to remove the
Highway-Oriented Commercial uses from the area in question due to the density of residential
development; he foresees a need to provide goods and services to the residents.
At the inquiry of Council Member Szopinski, Council Member Davis noted that an email had
been receiv ed from Warren Ma dde n, Vice-Presi den t for Bu sines s and Fi nan ce at Iowa State
University, advis ing that the current Board of Regents Institutional Road Program had not
allocated any funds or included any plan to widen South 16th Street, which would be impacted
8
by higher-density housing in the area in question. It was noted that the institutional road being
referenced in the email is to the west of 517 South 17th Street.
Mayor Campbell noted that if the Council took no action on the request, it, in effect, was denying
the request for a Land Use Policy Plan Map change for this area.
FEMA HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT PROGRAM: Municipal Engineer Tracy Warner
recalled that, as a follow-up to the 2010 flooding, Public Works staff submitted 11 projects for
consideration under FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). The Iowa Homeland
Security and Emergency Management Division (HSEMD) completed its preliminary review of
two of the projects, and Clapsaddle-Garber Associates had completed the project application for
(1) Waterbury Court and (2) Castlewood Place.
At the inquiry of Council Member Goodman, Ms. Warner acknowledged that waiting for FEMA
to make a decision and the process required for that funding has taken a long time. She believed
that, if City funds had been allocated, the projects would have been designed and accomplished
by this time.
According to Ms. Warner, engineering analyses of the other four flood mitigation projects is
continuing with the hope they will be before the Council for approval to submit grant
applications within the next two months. City Manager Schainker advised that five of the flood
mitigation projects had been withdrawn from further HMGP funding consideration, and during
the upcoming budget hearings, the City Council will need to determine if the City should proceed
with those projects ab sent any federal funding.
Moved by Davis, seconded by Goodman, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 12-013 approving a
modified resolution as part of HMGP application through Iowa HSEMD to FEMA for local
match funding being a minimum of 15 percent for the Waterbury Court project with a total
project estim ated co st of $88,70 0; app rove a r esolution as part of HMGP appl ication through
Iowa HSEMD to FEMA for local match funding being a minimum of 15 percent for the
Castlewood Place project with an estimated cost of $77,000; and to designate Tracy Warner,
Municipal Engineer, as the applicant’s Authorized Representative for both HMGP projects.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these minutes.
PROCESS FOR ADOPTING BUILDING CODES: Fire Chief Clint Petersen told the Council
that staff had recently started the process to adopt the newest version of the National Electric
Code (NEC), and it was important that Council feel comfortable with how national minimum
safety standards are recommended for adoption and the process used in Ames to adopt new
versions. He reported that the Council could choose to direct staff to modify past adoption
processes or add to the current plan before staff presented the NEC for adoption. He also
informed the Council that next year a larger slate of currently adopted national code standards
will be revised and brought to Council for approval.
Chief Petersen explained that international organizations of professionals in specific branches
of building and building systems design, construction, products manufacturing, and
governmental regulatory specialties develop detailed minimum standards, by consensus, for all
building disciplines. Those standards are published, distributed, and widely used by
9
governmental jurisdictions, public and private institutions, corporations, and other entities
throughout the world. Jurisdictions adopt codes “by reference” instead of copying several
thousand pages of detailed technical standards into their respective state or municipal codes.
According to Chief Petersen, the City has historically followed the State of Iowa by adopting
model code updates within six months of the State’s action. He said that, within the next few
weeks, staff will bring an item forward recommending adoption of the 2011 NEC into Chapter
5 of the Ames Municipal Code to bring the City’s local standards into alignment with the State’s
adopted standards. Chief Petersen also advised that, in Fall 2012, staff will begin working on the
process to bring adoption of the 2012 International Codes forward for Council action in the late
spring of 2013.
It was explained by Chief Petersen that International Codes are promulgated by the International
Code Council and are the most widely adopted building construction standards now commonly
in use internationally. He named the model codes adopted by reference by the State of Iowa,
the City of Ames, and other Iowa communities. The model codes are revised at regular three-year
cycles to eliminate outdated text , to add new tex t, and to change current te xt fo r impro ve d c la rity.
At each cycle, summaries of code changes are published by the organizations and reviewed by
the adopting jurisdictions. All International Codes and Uniform Codes are revised on the same
cycle: 2006, 2009, 2012, etc. The National Electrical Code (NEC) is revised on a different cycle:
2005, 2008, 2011.
Chief Petersen explained that the Building Board of Appeals was comprised of general
contractors, architects, engineers, plumbers and electricians. Its purpose is to lead the public
process to analyze Code revisions and make recommendations to the Council for Code adoption
or Code adoption with local amendments. He also explained that the process for reviewing the
proposed changes to the National Electric Code was representative of how the City typically
obtain public input regarding code modifications. The public input process was described in
more detail.
