PUBLIC FORUM: Andrea Meier, 2922 West Street, Apt. 3, stated that she participates in the Iowa State Program, “Life in Iowa.” This program is designed to help young individuals realize all of the possibilities our state has to offer and to encourage them to stay in Iowa. Jim Popken, 920 Clark Avenue, referred to a letter sent to Council from Ames Smart Growth. He stated that the organization supports the construction of the community's sidewalk system, and he referred to some suggestions that may help mitigate some of the impact on property owners. Mr. Popken referenced another letter written by the group regarding the South Dakota Overlay Area. He expressed his disappointment that implementation has not yet begun for the process of public involvement for Neighborhood Commercial zoning regulations. Merlin Pfannkuch, 1424 Kellogg Avenue, apologized for his use of profanity at the Council's last meeting during the Sidewalk Program issue. He commented on The Tribune article regarding the lack of civility at Council meetings, and said he felt it is due to the mayor and council members' lack of ability to treat citizens fairly and reasonably. Mr. Pfannkuch asked the Council to repeal the Sidewalk Program at its July 27 meeting. Jonathan Chumus, 405 Tama Street, Slater, urged the Council to better understand and serve ISU students because the City is best-equipped to help them. HEARING ON DEMOLITION AND DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM OVERLAY DISTRICT IN THE UNIVERSITY-IMPACTED AREA: City Planner Jeff Benson explained that at their meeting on May 25, 2004, Council members had discussed the two issues that are now before them: 1) an ordinance that will allow more time for compatibility planning to occur in the University-Impacted Area, thereby delaying development, where warranted; and, 2) an ordinance that will apply an overlay zone for a temporary development moratorium on the subject properties within the Area with a sunset date of January 1, 2005. Council Member Cross questioned how the first ordinance might be applicable since no criteria has been defined, such as historical significance. Mr. Benson stated that the ordinance gives the Council broad latitude and that purposes can be worked out. He indicated that it is possible to add criteria to the ordinance once the council decides how to employ it. Council Member Goodhue asked if staff was moving head with the sub-area planning for the University- 2 Impacted Area. Mr. Benson said that it was moving forward, and staff is still crafting a vision for future standards and development of the area. He felt comfortable in recommending January 1, 2005, as the moratorium end date. Mayor Tedesco opened the public hearing. Gloria Betcher, 531 Hayward Avenue, appeared on behalf of the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). She reported that the HPC is unanimous in its support in the creation of the moratorium and application of the overlay in selected areas. Ms. Betcher stated that the Commission is currently investigating demolition delays for other areas of the City. The moratorium will allow HPC members additional time to design a suitable ordinance for the City. She requested that City staff provide assistance as they research ordinances from other cities. Fern Kupfer, 2320 Knapp Street, president of the South Campus Area Neighborhood (SCAN) Association, said that their neighborhood supports the moratorium. She indicated that they favored the preservation of low-density neighborhoods and landlords that care for their property. They are not against development, but they want it to be thoughtful and compatible. Ms. Kupfer asked that the Council be cognizant of certain ramifications, such as parking and traffic. Jean Thomas, 2220 Knapp Street, stated her support for the moratorium since it will preserve the quality of life within the entire Campustown area. She asked the Council to vote for this delay so that more time is allowed to preserve and develop the “village's” architectural uniqueness. David Maahs, 1007 Vermont Street, urged the Council to support the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, and oppose the application of a moratorium overlay district. He said that City staff is currently working on the Sub-Area Plan, and he sees no immediate need to impose the moratorium. Matt Randall, 420 South 17th Street, spoke against both of the ordinances. He indicated that this is halting development and squashing property owners' rights to develop their properties in a manner that they see fit. The City currently has stringent rules that developers are required to follow. Mr. Randall stated that it is a bad idea to send the message that development can not occur because someone else in the community doesn't like it. Russ McCullough, 200 Stanton Avenue, said he is representing Everett Cochrane & Associates and that they are currently developing in the Campustown area. He further stated that development is a long- term decision and assembly of properties takes years. Mr. McCullough reported that they started developing portions of Stanton in the early 1980's, and they have played by the rules that have been established by the City. He stated that no development will destroy the inherent nature of what is already in the area. Mr. McCullough indicated that he supports denial of both ordinances and said that the rights of the developers have to be protected. Council Member Cross explained that he views this deferment as a planning tool that will provide time to create revisions to the design standards and other planning mechanisms; the results will have long- term impacts. Bill Armstrong, 2238 Knapp Street, said that he has developed some properties in the Campustown area. He stated that zoning regulations currently encourage the destruction of the relationship between developers and residents, and he thinks this deferment tool will help with that relationship. Mr. Armstrong said that it is reasonable to apply this tool in this limited instance. 3 There being no else wishing to speak, the hearing was closed. Moved by Cross, seconded by Goodhue, to pass on first reading an ordinance making text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance for the Demolition and Development Deferral Overlay District in the University-Impacted Area with an end date of January 1, 2005. Council Member Cross stated that he is very uncomfortable establishing a moratorium indefinitely with the lack of a defined process, criteria, etc., but that it would be appropriate to use it temporarily in this case. Moved by Wirth, seconded by Mahayni, to table this item until the July 27, 2004, meeting when the full City Council will be present. Council Member Cross indicated that he would not be at the July 27 meeting. Vote on Motion: 2-2. Voting aye: Mahayni, Wirth. Voting nay: Cross, Goodhue. Mayor Tedesco voted nay to break the tie. Motion failed. Council Member Goodhue said that he is concerned about imposing the moratorium. By the time the process is completed and goes into effect, it will be very short-lived. Roll Call Vote: 3-1. Voting aye: Cross, Mahayni, Wirth. Voting nay: Goodhue. Motion failed. Mayor Tedesco explained that there was no need to proceed to the next ordinance which amends the Zoning Map. Moved by Mahayni, seconded by Wirth, to reconsider this item at the July 27, 2004, Council meeting. City Attorney John Klaus explained that since the ordinance failed, the process will need to begin again. Council Member Goodhue said he would rather see the time and energy spent on the sub-area planning process. He felt that the moratorium is counter-productive to that process, and it isolates rather than involves those directly affected. Vote on Motion: 3-1. Voting aye: Cross, Mahayni, Wirth. Voting nay: Goodhue. Motion carried. At this time, City Attorney Klaus said that the ordinance failed, therefore the reconsideration can not occur as the prevailing side would need to make that motion. After more discussion, it was determined that the motion may be reconsidered as previously made. The motion to reconsider may be made by any of those council members voting in the majority. Moved by Mahayni, seconded by Wirth, to reconsider this item at the August 10, 2004, City Council meeting. Vote on Motion: 4-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. HEARING ON SOUTHEAST GATEWAY OVERLAY DISTRICT: City Planner Jeff Benson stated that the Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) calls for Ames to have gateways that are attractive and distinctive as people enter our city. This area encompasses the I-35/U.S. Highway 30 and the U.S. Highway 30/Dayton Avenue interchanges. He presented pictures of the certain types of buildings and materials 4 that would/would not be allowed in the gateway overlay area. Mr. Benson explained that one of prohibited uses in the overlay district is the sale and use of manufactured housing. There is such an existing business currently located in the district. He further explained that the business would operate as a legal, non-conforming use. However, if it discontinued its operations for a year's time, this use would no longer be allowed; or, if the business was destroyed, the property would have to be converted to a use consistent with the zone. Mayor Tedesco opened the public hearing. Monte Parrish, 1511 Stone Brooke Road, appeared before Council representing the South Ames Business Neighborhood Association. He stated that members of the association supported the passage of the two ordinances for the Southeast Entryway Gateway Overlay District. The public hearing was closed. Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Wirth, to pass on first reading an ordinance making text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance for the Southeast Gateway Overlay District (O-GSE). Roll Call Vote: 4-0.

Vote on Motion: 4-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. REQUEST OF AMES COUNTRY CLUB FOR WAIVER OF SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR LAND OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS (tabled from June 22, 2004): Planning and Housing Director Matt Flynn reported that the Ames Golf and Country Club is requesting that the City waive its subdivision requirements for a proposed residential development approximately one-half mile outside the city limits. He further reported that there are three areas that pose problems for this development to occur: the proposed land use is inconsistent with the Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) and the Urban Fringe Plan, and the site is located within a designated Watershed Protection Area. Mr. Flynn explained that the land lies outside the City's priority growth area, therefore costs for all infrastructure and community facilities would be the responsibility of the developer. A draft of the Urban Fringe Plan has been developed, and it indicates the proposed development lies within a Priority Residential Transitional Area. This means that the area should be developed in a manner than can seamlessly transition into the City. Mr. Flynn stated that the area is located within the Watershed Protection Area for Ada Hayden Heritage Park. He pointed out that storm water run-off and sewage infiltration could pose problems since it is uncertain what impact this would have in the park area. Mr. Flynn said that staff is recommending that the waiver request be denied. Larry Curtis, 2042 Cessna Street, appeared on behalf of the Ames Golf and Country Club (AGCC). Mr. Curtis reported that in 1983, the Story County Board of Supervisors granted the Club's request to be rezoned to an R-3 District, therefore the AGCC is proposing to develop its property under the county zoning and subdivision regulations. Mr. Curtis referred to a map indicating the location of the two areas planned for housing units. He explained that county regulations are fairly demanding, but compatible with their desire to build 50 condominiums and townhouses on the property. With regard to the concern over the sanitary sewer or septic system, Mr. Curtis said that they propose to use a mound septic treatment system which appears to be compatible with this type of development. Discussion ensued regarding the issues of staff's concern. Mr. Curtis explained where the mound septic treatment system would be located on the subject property. He further explained how watershed issues have been dealt with on the golf course for the last 30 years. Mr. Curtis stated that he feels comfortable that the county regulations would require the AGCC to build compatibly and consistently with the City's regulations. When questioned, Mr. Curtis responded that the board of directors began discussing this type of residential development on the Ames Golf and Country Club property about two years ago. He said that while the club does not ever intend to become a part of the City, the board is requesting a waiver of the 7 subdivision requirements just in case. Council Member Wirth stated that she was not comfortable moving ahead with this issue since staff has not had the chance to evaluate any of the new information pertaining to mound septic systems. Moved by Wirth, seconded by Cross, to refer back to staff for further evaluation the request for a waiver of the Subdivision Ordinance for a residential subdivision located east of George Washington Carver Avenue and south of 190th Street. Vote on Motion: 4-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. REVISION TO PARKING REGULATIONS ON HUNT STREET: Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Wirth, to approve a lease for installation of six parking meters adjacent to 223 Welch Avenue, and to direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance creating a “Commercial Vehicle Loading Zone” adjacent to 223 Welch Avenue and 2513 Hunt Street. Vote on Motion: 4-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
