The following Council members were present: Cross, Goodman, Mahayni, Vegge, and Wirth. Council Member Goodhue was absent. Present from the Commission were: Feilmeyer, Mercier, Knight, Larson, Aronson, and Barnes. Commission Member Jons was absent. URBAN FRINGE PLANNING: Planning and Housing Director Matt Flynn gave an update on the work that had been done on the Ames Urban Fringe Plan. He reviewed the principles that guided staff in the preparation of this document. Mr. Flynn also explained land use designations in the Rural Service and Agricultural Conservation Area, the Rural/Urban Transition Area, and the Urban Service Area. He also outlined the next steps that would be taken towards the implementation of this Plan. Doug McCay, 5500-240th Street, Ames, pointed out that the land classification map in the Plan needed to be updated; there were areas identified on the map as farmground that are no longer used as farmland. He again strongly recommended that, as the City annexed property, owners of land located in the two-mile fringe area be notified. Bill Whitman, representing owners of property along Sand Hill Trail (east of Interstate 35), asked how the use of the land in this area, now agricultural, would be factored into the Land Use Plan of Story County. Mayor Tedesco advised that intergovernmental agencies would work together to set regulations for the area. It was Mr. Whitman’s understanding that Story County had recommended that this land be kept agricultural; however, that was not well received by the City of Ames, which felt that it should be developed. Mr. Whitman was concerned that the entities make decisions among themselves, without input from affected property owners. Jim Pease, 3840 Stagecoach Road, Ames, pointed out that Story County, at their Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of January 29, 2005, indicated that they would notify property owners by placing the information on their Web page. He did not feel that that was an adequate notification process; landowners should receive individual notification and be included in the planning process. Terry Lewis, 2216 North Dakota Avenue, Ames, also recommended that the Plan maps be updated to indicate the current land classifications. Mr. Lewis said he was not looking for an update on a property-per-property basis. Jeff Benson advised that none of the four entities had made any changes to the Plan since its unveiling last July; none will make changes until directed to do so. Cindy Pease, 3840 Stagecoach Road, Ames, and several other attendees shared their concerns that the maps indicating land use were not current. Mr. Whitman inquired as to the timeline for adoption of the Plan. City Manager Steve Schainker advised that it was a priority of the City Council to adopt the Urban Fringe Plan by July 2005; however, that was dependent on agreements being reached by all four entities. Katherine Fromm, 3531 George Washington Carver Avenue, Ames, questioned how the 1,400 people were notified by Story County. She strongly objected to the notification process used by Story County (i.e., via their Web site). It was Ms. Fromm’s opinion that Story County was not interested in protecting any of the property owners’ interests. Tom Judge, 6820 George Washington Carver Avenue, Ames, asked why a buffer was needed between Ames and Gilbert. Council Member Cross advised that Gilbert City Council was extremely concerned that Ames would annex land right up to their city limits. He personally felt that this issue needed to be revisited. Mayor Tedesco pointed out that Gilbert wanted to maintain its own identity. Mr. Judge said that if Ames continued to grow, he felt that the area should be allowed to be filled-in; property owners should be allowed to develop their land if that is what they wanted. He felt that it was a poor idea to mandate that a certain stretch of land be left in between the two cities. Bob Friedrich, Jr., 6th and Duff, Ames, pointed out that there were limits to the gravity-flow sewer in the northern portion of Ames. This may restrict development in certain areas of the urban fringe, and the sewer capacity should be determined. Jim Bloedel, ISU Vice-Provost for Research, spoke about lot size. He felt that Ames was losing residents because the Zoning Ordinance required such small lot sizes (increased density). In his position with Iowa State University, Mr. Bloedel recognized that faculty members have located outside the city limits because of their desire for larger lots. Mr. Bloedel strongly urged that a certain percentage of residential development allow larger lots. Mayor Tedesco stated that there will be a round-table discussion concerning large-lot development at the May 10, 2005, City Council meeting. Leanne Harter, Director of Story County Planning & Zoning, indicated that due to budgetary constraints, they were not able to notify individual property owners about upcoming meetings. At Story County’s request, Rural Water Districts and School Districts have included notices about this Plan with their mailings. She indicated that Story County is ready to move forward and welcomed suggestions for notification. Herb Harmison, 2692 Meadow Glen Road, Ames, said he felt that the capitalistic system was not being taken into account; government should not dictate how land is developed. Alan Munson, 4001 Dartmoor Road, Ames, asked why so many multiple-housing units are being allowed in Southwest Ames. He said that he had asked this question many times, but never had been given an answer. Council Member Cross indicated that the Land Use Policy Plan indicated a certain number of housing units would be needed by the Year 2030, and citizens in the core of Ames indicated that they did not want intensification. An unidentified woman, speaking as a parent, complained that multiple-family housing was allowed adjacent to the new Middle School. She felt citizens had a right to question the types of development that are being allowed. Council Member Cross pointed out that the City’s Land Use Policy Plan indicated that the land in question was to be multiple-family, and the School District did participate in discussions prior to the adoption of the Land Use Policy Plan. Council Member Goodhue arrived at 6:54 p.m. The meeting recessed at 6:55 p.m. REGULAR MEETING OF THE AMES CITY COUNCIL The Ames City Council reconvened in regular session at 7:04 p.m. on the 26th day of April, 2005, in the City Council Chambers in City Hall, 515 Clark Avenue, pursuant to law with Mayor Tedesco presiding and the following Council members present: Cross, Goodhue, Goodman, Mahayni, Vegge, and Wirth.

Vote on Motion: 5-0-1. Voting aye: Cross, Goodhue, Goodman, Vegge, Wirth. Voting nay: None. Abstaining: Mahayni. Motion declared carried. Mayor Tedesco introduced Tony Borich, the newly appointed ex officio member from the GSB. Mr. Borich joined the Mayor and City Council members around the dais. PUBLIC FORUM: David Massarini, Postmaster, 525 Kellogg Avenue, Ames, explained that it had been determined that the existing postal facility located at 210 Welch Avenue would no longer be able to service the community’s future postal needs due to overcrowding. He said that the proposed facility would need to contain approximately 3,323 square feet of net interior space on a site of approximately 17,000 to 27,000 square feet. The Postal Service had three options: (1) to expand at their current location, (2) to lease another building in the area, or (3) to build a new building in West Ames. Mr. Massarini advised that comments from the public on this matter should be directed to: Mike Ward, Project Manager, Western Facilities Service Office,160 Inverness Drive, West; Suite 400, Englewood, Colorado, 80112-5005. Written comments must be postmarked within 15 days of this date. SOUTHEAST 16TH PAVING PROJECT (Tabled from 4/12/05): Acting Public Works Director John Joiner advised that HWS Consulting had completed an analysis of potential future projects for the Long-Range Transportation Plan update, specifically addressing the Southeast 16th Street project. He pointed out that, if no upgrades to Southeast 16th Street were made, the travel demand model forecasted an average daily traffic volume of 1,000 vehicles/day in the Year 2030. By contrast, if the proposed improvements were made, the model forecasted approximately 6,600 vehicles/day in 2030. The preliminary conclusion was that Southeast 16th Street would likely appear as a recommended project in the LRTP and Southeast 5th may be dropped. Discussion ensued about possible changes to the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), including the timeline for the project in question as well as those that might be pushed back if this project were moved up; conflicting cost estimates for the Southeast 16th Street Paving project; and re- prioritization of this project, the Southeast 5th Street, and the South 4th Street projects. If this project were to be approved, Mr. Schainker advised that a change in the funding sources would be necessitated, and the S. Fourth Rehabilitation project and the South Duff Improvement project would be moved back, and thus, be eliminated from this five-year Plan. Monte Parish, 1511 Stone Brooke Road, Ames, stated that the paving of Southeast 16th Street would significantly increase Ames’ tax base; there are currently 300 undeveloped commercial acres. The South Ames Business Neighborhood would continue to work with the area landowners to get the assessment arrangements worked out. Catherine Scott, 1510 Roosevelt, Ames, stated that she was not in favor of the Southeast 16th Street Paving and Bridge project. She preferred that the City fund the sidewalks on South Duff Avenue. Ms. Scott indicated that she thought the Southeast 16th Street area should be well- planned for; a road should just not be paved to solicit more commercial development at that location. Moved by Cross, seconded by Vegge, to amend the CIP to remove the South Fourth Rehabilitation project from the Five-Year Capital Improvements Plan (in order to reduce the impact on General Obligation Bond funding) and allow construction for the Southeast 16th Paving and Bridge project beginning with the bridge in 2006-07 and the road in 2007-08. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. TRAFFIC CONTROL AT CESSNA STREET AND COUNTRY CLUB BOULEVARD: Mr. Joiner gave the history behind the petition of area residents for traffic control at Cessna Street and Country Club Boulevard. He had presented four alternatives to the affected residents: (1) install stop signs, (2) reconstruct eastbound return, (3) realign the intersection, and (4) make no changes. Paul Moore, 2114 Country Club Boulevard, Ames, advised that he supported the staff’s recommendation to make it a four-way stop at Country Club Boulevard and Cessna Street. He cited incidents of near-misses and detailed safety concerns due to the lack of traffic control at this location. Robert Harvey, 2002 Cessna, Ames, stated that 6,500 cars pass by his house, and he is very concerned about the safety of children in this area. He requested that a dashed line be marked down the middle of the street to delineate lanes. Robert Parsons, 2018 Cessna, Ames, voiced his support of the four-way stop at the location in question. Moved by Vegge, seconded by Mahayni, to direct staff to install an all-way stop condition at Cessna Street and Country Club Boulevard. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. REQUEST FOR RESERVED PARKING IN DEPOT LOT U FOR UNITED WAY OF STORY COUNTY: Mr. Schainker advised that Hubbell Realty, owner of Main Street Station, had requested that four parking spaces for the United Way staff be reserved in Depot Lot U at no charge. He explained the policy of the City in regards to reserving parking spaces and charging therefor. The fees collected support the Parking Fund, which pays for maintenance and enforcement of the City’s parking system. Mr. Schainker stated that fees had not been waived for other entities requesting reserved spaces. Council Member Mahayni suggested that the fees be reduced, if not waived in their entirety for this non-profit agency. Council Member Goodhue pointed out that United Way had made the decision to relocate their offices to Downtown. He suggested that they be charged for one or two spaces, but not all four. Council Member Cross reminded the Council that United Way had entered into a lease for the office space, knowing the parking arrangements. Council Member Goodman advised that he would not support a waiver of the parking fees because he felt that it would not be consistent with the City’s policy; other agencies are not relieved of fees for leased parking. Ex officio Member Borich pointed out that there are other non-profit agencies located Downtown, and the City would be setting a precedent if they waived fees for United Way. Mayor Tedesco advised that there is free parking available in this location; however, United Way was requesting a higher level of service in that the four spaces would be reserved for their use 24 hours/day. Moved by Vegge, seconded by Goodman, to approve the request from Hubbell Realty to reserve four parking spaces in Lot U for the United Way staff and direct the City Attorney to draft the necessary changes to the Parking Meter Map, but not approve the request to waive the monthly rental fee. Vote on Motion: 5-1. Voting aye: Cross, Goodhue, Goodman, Vegge, Wirth. Voting nay: Mahayni. Motion declared carried. Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Mahayni, to direct staff to consider a non-profit fee for designated leased spaces. Vote on Motion: 2-4. Voting aye: Goodhue, Mahayni. Voting nay: Cross, Goodman, Vegge, Wirth. Motion failed. 161-kV TIE LINE PROJECT/EASEMENT ACQUISITIONS: Electrical Engineer Jerry Borland gave a presentation on the161-kV Transmission Line Route. He explained the components of this project: 161-kV modifications at Boone Junction and Northeast Ankeny substations, new 161-/69-kV substations near Stange Road and the Ames Plant 69-kV Switchyard, 69-kV to 161-kV conversion on existing Stange Road to Boone Junction Transmission Line, and new 161-kV lines from Stange Road to the Ames Plant and the Ames Plant to Northeast Ankeny. The process used to select the route was summarized. He advised that the Ames route would be Stange Road to Haber Road to the Power Plant. This uses the existing line route, and the majority of construction will use existing easements. The majority of the preferred route from the Power Plant to Northeast Ankeny will follow the I-35 corridor, which will lessen the effect on private land owners and utilizes more publicly owned property. This also provides easier access for maintenance. Mr. Borland also gave the timeline for this project, indicating that the transmission line would be energized in late October 2006. Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Wirth, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 05-179 approving the 161-kV Tie Line Project and authorizing the acquisition of all needed easements, first through good faith negotiations, and/or finally, by condemnation. Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby made a portion of these minutes.
