PUBLIC FORUM: Katherine Fromm, 3531 G. W. Carver, Ames, advised that “everything flows
through her property.” She explained that the development of Northridge Heights is sending
water into her creek with mud and silt. Ms. Fromm said that she has addressed this problem
before; she has had the developers fined by the Department of Natural Resources. She said
hopefully, they will be cooperative in dredging her creek and finding the appropriate bushes and
vegetation that will help her creek. There is a big cut in her creek that wasn’t there before
because the water forcefully flowed there as a result of the rain; this is due to the installation of
so much cement in Northridge Heights. Ms. Fromm said that, while progress may be important
to some, said progress comes with a price, and as a private land owner, she is not willing to pay
the price. She expects this price to be paid by others.
Also, in representing the Smart Growth Committee, Ms. Fromm expressed her dismay over
receiving notice on Monday concerning the creation of regulations for the East 13th Street
Gateway Overlay District. She does not believe that the City of Ames can “command” people
to come to meetings if they are not given sufficient notice. She has been informed that a number
of people who would like to attend cannot because they were notified late and have full agendas
and commitments. Ms. Fromm asked that the City be more considerate of other people’s
schedules in the future.
Gerald Johnson, Rural Route, Gilbert, owner of the land north of the proposed mall location,
stated that there is a mutual tile located in this vicinity. He advised that the rural water company
cut that tile several years ago while putting in the rural water line, however, they repaired it. Mr.
Johnson said that when the Barilla development occurred and the City water line was installed,
they also cut the tile, however, apparently did not repair the tile very well, and it has again
broken. No one has taken responsibility for repairing the broken tile. He feels that it is the
responsibility of the City’s Water Department to make the needed repairs.
“TUNE-IN TO MAIN STREET” REQUESTS: Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Cross, to
approve the Blanket Temporary Obstruction Permit from 8 AM to 6 PM from June 3 through
June 5, 2004.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Cross, to approve the Blanket Vending Permit every Thursday
from June 3 through September 30, 2004.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Cross, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 04-227 waiving
electricity costs for power used from outlets near and inside of Tom Evans Plaza from 4 - 7 PM
on Thursdays from June 3 through September 30, 2004.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these minutes.

subsequent Thursdays through September 30, 2004.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these minutes.
VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OF PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF 13TH
STREET AND INTERSTATE 35 (tabled from 5/11/04): Moved by Vegge, seconded by Cross,
to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 04-229 approving the voluntary annexation of property generally
located east of 13th Street and Interstate 35.
Council Member Vegge pointed out that this is a voluntary annexation. He recognized that the
City Council had received a letter from Jim Popken, representing the Smart Growth group,
requesting that the City Council move forward with an involuntary annexation; however, Mr.
Vegge believes that it is fitting to proceed with this as a voluntary annexation.
Council Member Cross pointed out that it is critically important for the City of Ames to control
what is developed on the land in question, and the means to do so is through voluntary
annexation. Council Member Goodhue concurred and encouraged Ames citizens to become
involved in the overlay creation process.
Council Member Goodman advised that he does not want to circumvent the representative
democracy style of government to get what he wants. He does not believe in changing the
method just to yield the result that is in his favor. Although he is not in favor of a new mall, he
does believe that it is important for the City to decide how that land is developed.
Council Member Wirth also feels that it is very important for the City to have a say in how the
land in question is developed. She pointed out that she is still in opposition to the new mall,
however, she does support the annexation of this land.
Council Member Mahayni stressed the importance of the creation of design guidelines. He is
concerned about the design of all of the City’s commercial areas.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted, signed by the Mayor, and hereby made a
portion of these minutes.
Council Member Wirth asked to discuss the public input process concerning the creation of
design regulations for the East 13th Street Gateway Overlay District. She noted that the input
sessions run from June 1 through June 3, 2004, but these are not the only dates when input will
be received. City Manager Steve Schainker indicated that there will be a number of public input
sessions after the Steering Committee has made its preliminary recommendations. The dates for
those sessions will be announced as soon as they are set, but most likely, will occur in July. The
Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council will meet to consider adopting the design
regulations, and those will be public meetings as well.
Moved by Goodman, seconded by Mahayni, to request staff to explore the possibility of having
one more meeting (an open forum) approximately two weeks after June 1 - 3 for those who may
not have been able to attend any of the first three meetings.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

INSTALLATION OF SIDEWALKS ON EAST SIDE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AVENUE:
Moved by Goodman, seconded by Cross, to direct City staff to contact the Amethyst Place
Homeowners Association with a request that they (the Homeowners Association) install
sidewalks on the east side of British Columbia Avenue between the north line of Lot 3 and the
south right-of-way line for Ontario Street.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared adopted unanimously.
REGULATIONS FOR UNIVERSITY-IMPACTED OVERLAY DISTRICT: Planner Jeff
Benson gave a presentation on alternative concepts and interim development regulations for the
University-Impacted Overlay District. The purpose of these regulations is to allow the City the
opportunity to determine how the land should develop. He pointed out key issues and
characteristics to be considered. Mr. Benson said that the basic policy from the Land Use Policy
Plan for this area is intensification, but with compatibility. Presently, there are no standards for
compatibility.
The meeting recessed at 7:45 p.m. and reconvened at 7:50 p.m.
Mr. Benson reminded the Council that they had approved the vision and scope for sub-area
planning for the University-Impacted Overlay District on May 28, 2002. He stated that staff is
requesting direction from the City Council on a number of issues before moving to the next
planning step. It was pointed out by Mr. Benson that intensification has begun to change the
character of the University-Impacted Area. Staff will look to the City Council for guidance on
how intensification should continue.
Mr. Benson reviewed three alternative concepts, specifically describing the basic approach and
detailing the intensification strategy, parking, scale and appearance, and the historic resources
for each concept.
Council Member Mahayni suggested that a visual image be created first and then specify what
is going to be going in the various sections. Mr. Benson said that the City has never taken that
approach, but it is possible. He said the City starts with density and works it way up to the
visual image. Mr. Mahayni expressed concern about moving from the lot level to the block
level, as each block will be different from the next block. He does not want to lose the historic
character of the Campus area. Mayor Tedesco advised that he believes the University is
interested in the development of this area, and staff should work with University officials as this
progresses. Council Member Cross suggested that, if an historic preservation area is created for
College Heights, 1st and 2nd Addition, which encompasses the fraternities and sororities, the City
should work with representatives of the Office of Greek Affairs, residence halls, the Office of
Student Affairs, and the Office of Business and Finance.
Council Member Wirth believes that knowing the number of bedrooms per block is very
important; this is a very significant factor as it impacts a number of other areas.
It was also pointed out by Mr. Benson that the City had received a letter from the South Campus
Area Neighborhood requesting a temporary halt in the intensification in the
Downtown/Campustown Service Center (DCSC) zoning district until zoning ordinances are
changed in accordance with the City’s Land Use Policy Plan.
Council Member Goodhue pointed out that the City adopted a Land Use Policy Plan that calls
4
for intensification of this area. Mr. Benson said that staff wants to be proactive and make sure
it has a plan for managing the intensification.
Council Member Mahayni believes that a preliminary meeting between City staff and the
developer, especially on major projects, would be of benefit to both parties. According to Jeff
Benson, after the basic standards are decided upon, the process to make it work would be
established.
Jim Zehr, Delaware Avenue, Ames, advised that his company is in the planning stages of the
development of a $12 - $15 million mixed-use facility in the heart of Campustown. He said it
is his firm belief that adequate parking is critical to any facility. They have invested
considerable time and money into the planning of this development, and he urged that the City
Council not implement any building moratorium in Campustown, but instead, work with
developers and slowly phase-in any regulation changes. Mr. Zehr also recommended that an
association of developers be organized and consulted whenever any intense measures, such as
a moratorium or suspension of urban revitalization incentives, are being considered.
Gloria Betcher, 531 Hayward Avenue, Ames, spoke as the Chairperson of the City’s Historic
Preservation Commission. She said that the Commission is concerned over the speed of
development within the University-Impacted Area (UIA). Ms. Betcher pointed out that no
comprehensive survey of historic resources has been carried out within the UIA. She advised
that the South Campus Area Neighborhood (SCAN) is conducting a large-scale survey, which
includes some part of the UIA. Through an examination of the Iowa State Historical Society’s
Historic Preservation Site Inventory, Ms. Betcher advised that there are at least194 properties
in the UIA that have had site inventory forms submitted. Of those 194 properties, 64 of those
properties have already been demolished, mostly between 1998 and 2004. Ms. Betcher said that
without the implementation of a demolition ordinance, Ames may lose many of the historic
resources of the Campustown neighborhoods She said that the Commission would like time to
investigate demolition ordinances in other cities where historic preservation is important to
community identity. They would also like time to begin surveys of potential historic districts
in the UIA. According to Ms. Betcher, the Commission wants to promote the adaptive reuse
of existing structures within Campustown as a viable means to preserve and revitalize the area;
the current Urban Revitalization Program may be at odds with such historic preservation. They
would like the City to investigate means in which the Urban Revitalization Program may be
better used to further the preservation of historic resources within the UIA. Ms. Betcher advised
that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the City Council approve zoning
regulations that would delay and defer development in the University-Impacted Area until
January 1, 2005, to allow sub-area planning to be completed and its implementation measures
to be approved.
Bill Armstrong, 2238 Knapp Street, Ames, spoke as a board member of the South Campus Area
Neighborhood. He said that when developers began to take advantage of the opportunities
available in the commercial district to build apartments over commercial uses, it brought to the
SCAN’s attention the fact that the development is allowed to occur without what they consider
to be adequate parking. There are stark contrasts in the ordinance pertaining to parking between
the UIA and the commercial district in Campustown that need to be addressed. Another stark
contrast is the difference in zoning in the residential low-density area south of Knapp and the
high-density area on the north side of Knapp. The SCAN encourages amendments to the
ordinances to deal with these issues. They feel owner-occupancy is essential for the vitality of
the neighborhood. They would like to see incentives that encourage the maintenance and
5
improvement of those properties as well as the incentives that are available for redevelopment.
Also, they would prefer that the parking standard for the entire UIA, including the commercial
area, be set at 1.25 places per bedroom.
Russ McCullough, 200 Stanton, Ames, spoke on behalf of Ev Cochrane & Associates. He urged
the City Council not to implement a moratorium on development in Campustown. Mr.
McCullough said he does not feel that there is a crisis in density at the current time that would
warrant a moratorium on building. He outlined three possible interpretations for calculating a
density threshold. Mr. McCullough feels that if parking is the issue, then parking should be
addressed through enforcement of current parking rules or a zoning change. He feels that it is
important for the City to provide a stable policy environment for development.
Patrick Bailey, 2334 Baker, Ames, representing the Campustown Action Association, advised
that they are not in favor of a building ban in this area. The Association does not feel that a
moratorium is the best alternative. If Council decides to do so, however, he suggested that it be
in place only in certain areas, such as the 2400 Block of Lincoln Way, the 2500 Block of
Lincoln, and the 100 Block of Welch, because there a lot of historic buildings in those locations.
However, to take away the growth and redevelopment in Campustown would be detrimental. Mr.
Bailey pointed out that additional housing development is important to the vitality of the
business community of Campustown.
Matt Randall, 420 S. 17th Street, Ames, stated that he feels it would be a bad idea to suspend the
Campustown Urban Revitalization Program. He pointed out that developers who are
constructing buildings in this area have followed the rules that have been set by the City
Council. Mr. Randall said that providing adequate parking in Campustown is critical; however,
parking in parking garages is not going to occur without tax abatement. He advised that it costs
$10,000 - $15,000/parking stall to build a parking garage; it is not feasible for developers to
incur that type of expense. Mr. Randall does not believe the City Council should pass a
demolition ordinance; some buildings are not structurally safe.
David Maahs, 1007 Vermont, Ames, spoke against enacting a building moratorium, but
suggested that a pre-review process be implemented for staff and developers to address
compatibility and parking issues.
Dickson Jensen, Jensen Design Build, 235 Alexander Avenue, Ames, said that he is confused
why these issues are now being brought up; the Land Use Policy Plan outlines the requirements,
and those are being followed. Mr. Jensen stated that the City Council is always willing to listen
and react to concerns of anyone who has any problems with what has already been reviewed and
approved according to regulations. He said that developers are following the rules, and he urged
that the City Council not make any changes. Mr. Jensen said that planning and zoning should
be in place to take the uncertainty out of development. He feels that in the City of Ames,
Planning & Zoning and the City Council have added the uncertainty to development. Mr. Jensen
advised that two businesses that everyone would like to have in West Ames walked out the door
because two weeks ago, the Planning and Zoning Commission decided to talk about not
allowing any further development and changing the rules. He asked who is going to invest in a
community where the rules change overnight. Mr. Jensen said that developers have invested in
this community for 75 years under a set of rules where everything they did was not dictated by
some meeting and everyone in the community having input as to whether the building is going
to be red or green. He takes issue with the allegation that developers have taken advantage of
the laws; if the rules say you can build, why are they now being accused of taking advantage.

keep the tax abatement in place.
