HEARING ON VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OF PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF 13TH STREET AND INTERSTATE 35: Planner Joe Pietruszynski described the property under consideration, which is generally located along East 13th Street adjacent to the Interstate 35/East 13th Street interchange. He said the annexation request totals 273.56 acres. Mr. Pietruszynski advised that the proposed annexation area is voluntary; it does not include any non-consenting property. He described the current land uses and existing zoning of the area. It was pointed out that there are uses being allowed by Story County in this area that are not allowed by the City of Ames Land Use Policy Plan. 3 Mr. Pietruszynski advised that annexation can be used as a protective measure to ensure that any development occurring will be consistent with the City’s Land Use Policy Plan; it gives the City of Ames jurisdictional control over the land. He advised that City staff believes annexation is prudent because it is consistent with the Regional Commercial designation on the Future Land Use Policy Plan Map, would further Council’s direction to establish an overlay district, and would preserve the area as an agricultural use until the community gains additional perspective on how the area should develop. Mr. Pietruszynski explained that the land in question, if annexed, would come into the City of Ames zoned Agricultural. Mayor Tedesco opened the public hearing. Von Kaster, 245 Todd Circle, Ames, spoke in opposition to the proposed annexation. He voiced his concern that the activity surrounding the proposed regional mall is detracting from commercial land use policies. Mr. Kaster stated that he is very concerned about what is happening in the Southwest Growth Priority Area. He questions whether the City Council is intent on keeping with their policy to develop the Southwest Growth Priority Area. Mr. Kaster pointed out that a developer recently advised during a City Council meeting that he is having trouble leasing his commercial property in the Southwest Growth Priority Area due to the possibility of a mall being built at E. 13th Street/I-35. Patricia Negreros, 3425 Ross Road, Ames, cited her reasons for believing that Ames does not need a new mall. She feels that the decision whether or not to allow the construction of a new mall is one of the most important decisions that this City Council will ever make. Ms. Negreros does not believe that seven persons, i.e., the Mayor and City Council, should make that decision and would like the citizens of Ames to decide. Gerald Johnson, Rural Route, Gilbert, Iowa, advised that he is an adjoining property owner to the subject site. He has been farming the area for many years and pointed out that dust will be created when the farmers work the soil. In his opinion, a mall and farmers do not make good neighbors. Mr. Johnson urged the City Council to vote against the annexation. Jack Troeger, 1009-16th Street, Ames, feels that the “pro-mallers” case is bogus and filled with inaccurate information. He urged the City Council to stop this “travesty.” Noting that none of those present at this meeting who had chosen to speak indicated that they were proponents of a new mall, Mr. Troeger inquired as to the whereabouts of the “pro-mallers.” Anne Kinzel, 720 Duff Avenue, Ames, stated that she moved to Ames from Fresno, California. She feels that the mall issue is a “corruption of the intellect.” Ms. Kinzel believes it is cynical and unethical of the City Council to rely on inaccurate data, which she believes has been presented. Sue Ravenscroft, 455 Westwood, Ames, pointed out that the Planning & Zoning Commission voted against the Land Use Policy Plan Map change. In her opinion, they made the right decision. Ms. Ravenscroft believes that the City Council avoided answering the questions of why “a mall of this size at this time in this town.” She feels that the City Council is ignoring the citizens’ concerns. Ms. Ravenscroft asked that the people of Ames be allowed to have a real dialogue. Before going any further, she asked that Mr. Wolford be required to submit a business 4 plan. Joe Rippetoe, 419 Pearson Avenue, Ames, pointed out that there is not a full Council at this meeting. He urged this issue to be rescheduled when all City Council members were present. Jim Popken, 920 Park Avenue, Ames, encouraged the City Council to vote against this annexation. He voiced his concerns about the public input process being proposed pertaining to the creation of an overlay district at E. 13th Street and I-35, specifically, that public forums are being scheduled during the summer months when many citizens and students are not in town. Mr. Popken would like the public forums to be delayed until the fall. Planner Ray Anderson explained the public input process planned for discussion on the creation of an overlay district for the area at E. 13th and Interstate 35. There being no one else wishing to speak, the Mayor closed the hearing. Moved by Goodman, seconded by Vegge, to table this issue until May 25, 2004. Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. HEARING ON REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON NORTH SIDE OF SOUTH 16TH STREET WEST OF BUCKEYE AVENUE AND SOUTH OF COLDWATER LINKS GOLF COURSE: The Mayor opened the hearing.

REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF SIDEWALK REQUIREMENT ON EAST SIDE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AVENUE IN THE AMETHYST SUBDIVISION: Holly Fuchs, 806 Brookridge Avenue, Ames, encouraged the City Council to require sidewalks in this area. 7 Al Lange, 1100 British Columbia Avenue, spoke as President of the Amethyst Place Subdivision Association. He said an important distinction between this Subdivision and others is that this development only has the potential of consisting of six lots. Mr. Lange advised that will not increase the size of the City; the topography of this land is hilly and treed with significant slopes; and other subdivisions have through-streets, however, this subdivision only consists of one street. Mr. Lange pointed out that this development consists of a private street. It is similar to rural subdivisions without curb and gutter, sidewalks, or streetlights. He pointed out that there is no potential for extending the street in the future. Ray Anderson explained that financial security was filed with the City in August 2003 to ensure the installation of sidewalks. That financial security was necessary before building permits could be issued. He said that City staff believes sidewalks should be installed for safety purposes; that was the intent when the Subdivision was approved. Dave Delagardelle, 5014 Ontario Street, Ames, prefers that sidewalks not be required in this area. He cited reasons relative to the uniqueness of this Subdivision. Moved by Cross, seconded by Vegge, to deny the request by the Amethyst Place Subdivision Association and the owners of property located at 5014 Ontario Street to waive the requirement for the installation of sidewalks along British Columbia Avenue. Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. Moved by Cross, seconded by Goodman, to refer to staff for determining the best method to require the installation of sidewalks on Outlot C and to request that this issue be placed on the City Council’s May 25th agenda. Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. OVERLAY DISTRICT AT THE SOUTH DAKOTA AND U.S. HIGHWAY 30 INTERSECTION: Planning Director Matt Flynn explained that the decisions before the City Council are: (1) should the gateway overlay technique be pursued, (2) should a different public input approach to developing an entryway overlay be supported, and (3) should residential uses above the first floor in Community Commercial Notices, Neighborhood Commercial, and Downtown/Campustown Service Center areas. He advised that the Planning & Housing Department staff has many projects/activities that have already been directed by the City Council. If directed to create this overlay, Mr. Schainker explained that staff would not be able to begin this process until June. John Klaus explained the process needing to be followed if the City Council desired to impose a moratorium on any further development within the boundaries of the entryway until the overlay is created. Mr. Schainker stated that this has not been discussed with the owners of property in the entryway area. Joe Pietruszynski advised that there are no pending rezoning applications for this area at this time. Council Member Goodman said that he does not feel it is fair to the property owners to impose a moratorium. Council Member Goodhue concurred. He said he is also uncomfortable removing 8 the possibility of residential uses being allowed above first floors in commercial areas until more information is received. Council Member Mahayni reiterated his concern that the Zoning Ordinance does not specify minimums for commercial development; it only specifies maximums. Mr. Pietruszynski advised that the ordinance could be amended to require a Major Site Development for any development in this area; thus, the decision to allow the development would have to come before the City Council. Moved by Goodman, seconded by Goodhue, to direct that an entryway overlay be created, but take no action to prevent any further developments to occur within the boundaries of the entryway prior to the adoption and application of design standards by the City Council. Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Cross, to direct staff to explain why residential uses should not be allowed over first-floor commercial uses. Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

Moved by Vegge, seconded by Goodhue, to refer to staff the letter from CopyWorks dated May 6, 2004, regarding their awning. Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
