OF THE AMES CITY COUNCIL
AMES, IOWA JULY 10, 2001
The Ames City Council met in regular session at 6:30 p.m. on the 10th day of July, 2001, in the City Council
Chambers in City Hall, 515 Clark Avenue, pursuant to law with Mayor Ted Tedesco presiding and the following
Council members present: Campbell, Cross, Hoffman, Quirmbach, and Wirth. Council Member Goodhue arrived
at 6:40 p.m.
CALL TO ORDER: 6:30 p.m.
Mayor Tedesco advised that under Item #30 on the Agenda pertaining to Hunt Street parking, 229 Welch Avenue
should be removed from consideration. This property had recently been sold, and the new owners did not wish to
be involved.
WORKSHOP WITH AMES COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL: Kathy Svec, a member of the
Cultural Planning Committee of the Ames Community Arts Council introduced the other members of the
Committee: Mike King, Phyllis Lepke, Bruce Martin, and Valerie Williams. Ms. Lepke gave a chronological
history of the “Ames Cultural Plan,” which was originally presented to the City Council on November 28. Kathy
Svec presented highlights of the citizen survey that had been conducted. Valerie Williams reviewed the
organization surveys, which indicated that various organizations annually give a total of at least 39,455 volunteer
hours to the arts. Mike King advised that when persons were asked on the survey to recommend how local
government funding should support the arts, festivals were the top mention followed by youth programs, art in
public places, and a Downtown Cultural District.
Bruce Martin made the following requests of the City Council, on behalf of the Cultural Planning Committee:
(1) To endorse the proposed “Ames Cultural Plan,” which would allow local organizations working within the
scope of the Plan eligibility to apply for funding through the National Endowment for the Arts; (2) To provide
general support by assigning Human Resource staff to assist with the Arts Coordinator job description and
recruitment; (3) To assist with development of a funding plan for an Arts Coordinator staff position; (4) To
appoint a City representative to an ad-hoc committee for review of arts funding sources and the role of the
Committee on The Arts; and, (5) To develop criteria for designing an Arts/Cultural/Historic District that would
extend from Bandshell Park to the City Auditorium.
Council Member Hoffman recommended that this Committee give a presentation to the Ames Convention and
Visitors Bureau (ACVB). Mayor Tedesco expressed his concern that contact had not been made with the ACVB,
the Chamber of Commerce, or businesses in the Downtown. Council Member Cross felt that it would be very
beneficial for this Committee to obtain the endorsement and support of the ACVB, Chamber, and the Main
Street District. He suggested that if that support is garnered, the Committee could again approach the Council.
Council Member Quirmbach recommended that those groups be approached, not necessarily for their
endorsement, but also to help in further refining some aspects of the Committee’s proposals and for input on
the Cultural Plan. Mayor Tedesco suggested that after the Committee has discussions with the above-named
groups, they update the City Council on the progress.

LAND USE POLICY PLAN MAP CHANGE FOR PROPERTIES GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF
HALLETT’S QUARRY, EAST OF STONE BROOKE SUBDIVISION, WEST OF DAWES DRIVE, AND
N O R T H O F T O P - O - H O L L O W R O A D : D i r e c t o r o f P l a n n i n g a n d
Housing Brian O’Connell explained that the applicant, Hubbell Realty, had requested to change the current land
use designation on the Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) Map from “Environmentally Sensitive Land” to
“Village/Suburban Residential.” He said this request is applicable to a 22.6-acre parcel of land generally located
adjacent to Hallett’s Quarry, east of Stone Brooke Subdivision, and west of Dawes Drive. Mr. O’Connell
reviewed land use, annexation, zoning, housing, transportation, utilities (sanitary sewer and water, storm sewer,
and electric), and fire response time relative to the land in question. He then reviewed the LUPP goals and
policies as they pertain to this request. Mr. O’Connell explained the results of discussions ensuing from two
public meetings held on this issue.
City Manager Steve Schainker reminded the Council that the City’s Vision Iowa grant application was still
pending. He said that citizens had indicated at the public meetings held on this issue that it would be preferable
for the City to decide on the Hubbell proposal after a referendum on a bond issue to acquire and improve
Hallett’s Quarry. Mr. Schainker explained that the City had made December 15, 2001, its deadline for its
conditions to be met for the Hubbell sale; however, Hubbell’s deadline for its condition, i.e., permission to build
a 44-unit housing development on the site in exchange for allowing the City to purchase Hallett’s Quarry at a
fair price, was September 30, 2001. Brian O’Connell recommended that this item be tabled so that the City
could talk to the developer (Hubbell Realty) and get the deadline for the subdivision approval changed from
September 30 to December 15. Mr. Schainker said that, by taking this action, it would address residents’
concerns that Hubbell’s requested subdivision would not be approved before the fate of the Quarry was known.
5
Kay Berger, 4121 Dawes Drive, Ames, expressed her appreciation to City staff for listening to the citizens at
the open meetings held on this matter. Ms. Berger expressed her dismay over the possibility of Hubbell building
an upscale housing development on part of the property. She also is not pleased with the situation that the City
has been placed in by Hubbell.
Bill Black, 533-193rd Street, Ames, asked if development could occur given the current zoning of the land. Mr.
O’Connell advised that the land is still under the jurisdiction of the County; however, the City of Ames has
subdivision authority. Mr. Black feels that there may be other ways of accomplishing what the City desires
without changing the LUPP Map designation. He also questioned whether the proposed development really
would improve the quality of life in Ames.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Goodhue, to table this issue until the July 24, 2001, agenda.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
CHANGE IN BOUNDARY FOR SUB-AREA PLANNING IN THE URBAN CORE AREA SOUTH OF
LINCOLN WAY: J eff Be ns o n , Pl a n n e r , s u mm a r iz e d th e c o n te xt f o r the sub-ar ea
planning process in the south portion of the Urban Core area and defined the expanded
boundaries of the sub-area. He proposed a tentative process and schedule for the planning activity.
Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Wirth, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 01-307 approving a change in the
boundary for Sub-Area Planning in the Urban Core Area south of Lincoln Way to run south to Squaw Creek,
east to Duff Avenue, and west to Grandwood Drive.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby made a portion
of these minutes
STAFF REPORT ON URBAN REVITALIZATION FOR CAMPUSTOWN: Mark Reinig,
Economic Development Coordinator, explained that this report was in response to a letter from Jensen Design
Build requesting the establishment of an Urban Revitalization Area (URA) for 132 Hayward Avenue and 2517
Chamberlain Street and a letter from Ev Cochrane and Associates concerning a project at the southeast corner
of Chamberlain and Stanton. The requests indicated that they would like to see the City allow development in
the Campustown area to be considered for the URA Program on a case-by-case basis.
Mr. Reinig gave the history on the creation of the Downtown URA; no action has been taken on the possibility
of creating a Campustown URA. He advised the direction given by the LUPP and discussed the options for City
Council’s consideration on the possibility of including the Campustown Service Center into the Urban
Revitalization Program.
Dean Jensen, 5818 Alta Vista Road, Ames, representing Jensen Design Build, said that he recognizes that
Campustown has very unique features that need to be considered in a Criteria Matrix. He requested that the City
consider the request of the developers since they have worked diligently to design a plan that fits with the City’s
standards. He said that the developers acquired the property at 132 Hayward Avenue in December, have spent
a great deal of time addressing design issues of the City, and are requesting a timely decision by the City
Council.
Russ McCullough, 2054 Cessna, Ames, representing Ev Cochrane and Associates, advised that they estimate
structured parking to cost between $7,000 - $12,000/parking stall versus grade-level parking at $1,000/stall.
6
He said that he had calculated the difference in tax revenue resulting from the structure, as proposed, with tax
abatement versus a smaller, less-expensive structure, and he believes that the City would benefit from granting
the tax abatement so the developer could build the more-expensive structure. They hoped to start demolition
of the site in September 2001 and have the structure completed by August 2002.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Goodhue, to refer to staff for the development of a Criteria Matrix for the
Campustown Service Center based in part on the High-Density Residential Matrix, moving the shared parking
or structured parking to the “required” column, and considering design standards with regard to height,
landscaping requirements, and signage requirements; and to report back to City Council within 30 to 45 days.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
The meeting recessed at 9:23 and reconvened at 9:30 p.m.
INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN THE RENTAL HOUSING CODE AND THE ZONING CODE: Council
Member Quirmbac h re i t er at ed h i s p re fe re n ce t h at ro o m er s b e al lowed in an owner-
occupied single-family home. He feels that the revenue generated may help some residents be able to afford a
home.
Moved by Campbell, seconded by Wirth, to direct the City Attorney to draft a change to the Housing Code
limiting occupancy in dwelling units to that proposed in the attached table and previously approved by the City
Council at their April 17, 2001, work session.
Moved by Quirmbach to amend the motion to allow, under “New and Existing Single-Family,” an Owner-
Occupied family, as narrowly defined in 62A, to rent to no more than two roomers.
