chronology of events leading up to the recommendation of the Parks & Recreation Commission
to support the construction of a multi-use recreation center with an indoor/outdoor aquatic facility.
She also gave an overview of the results of a survey, the public meeting, and the 20 group
meetings. The Council was reminded that the FY 00/01 Capital Improvements Plan includes
$45,000 to retain architectural services to prepare preliminary designs, drawings, and cost
estimates for a new recreation center. Beth Cross and Chuck Glotfelty relayed comments aired
to them by the public, particularly the senior citizen population. Linda Emmerson expressed the
concerns told to her about the lack of gym space for youth activities.
Dianne Mumm, 1208 Clark, Ames, said that she and others hoped the new facility would provide
for lap swimming, have a warm-water pool, restrooms and shower areas, close-in parking area
for the physically impaired, and be open enough hours for maximum use. She also encouraged
retaining competitive swimming at the High School.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Goodhue, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 00-179 directing staff to
begin the process of retaining architectural services to prepare preliminary designs, conceptual
drawings, and cost estimates for a new multi-use recreation center with an indoor/outdoor aquatic
facility.

Moved by Quirmbach, seconded by Wirth, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 00-156 approving the
route for the Mayor’s Bike Ride on May 6, 2000, and waiver of fees for traffic control.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these minutes.
IDOT AGREEMENT FOR STP ENHANCEMENT FUNDING FOR PHASE I OF SOUTH
DUFF AVENUE TRAIL PLAN. Council Member Hoffman expressed her concerns over the
apparent delay of the second phase of this project (the portion of the Trail over the Squaw Creek
bridge). City Manager Steve Schainker explained that the City was informed that the IDOT was
planning a bridge-widening project that can also accommodate a bike trail, which is tentatively
scheduled for 2003/04. City staff felt that they should not construct the bike trail over the bridge
since it ultimately would be torn out during the bridge reconstruction. Paul Wiegand informed the
Council that the first phase of the Trail Project would extend a path along the east side of South
Duff Avenue from Airport Road north to S. 16th Street and along the west side from S. 16th
Street to Chestnut Drive. He stated that the Mayor and City staff will be meeting with the IDOT
in an attempt to persuade them to advance the bridge project schedule and complete the second
phase of the bike trail earlier than 2003/04.
Moved by Hoffman, seconded by Cross, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 00-161 approving the
IDOT Agreement for STP enhancement funding for Phase I of South Duff Avenue Trail Plan.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these minutes.
PUBLIC FORUM: Tom Kimberley, Collins, Iowa, stated that he owns property at 1018 Lincoln
Way and on S. Maple in Ames. He said he and his wife specifically bought that property because
4
it was zoned for high-density residential and they planned to develop it as a four- to six-plex.
Mr. Kimberley asked the City Council to retain the high-density residential zoning for the
properties located at 1018 Lincoln Way, 102 S. Maple, and 106 S. Maple. He asked the Council
to explain to him why the zoning designation of high-density residential that was recommended
by the Planning and Zoning Commission was not retained by the City Council. Mayor Tedesco
explained that the City Council did review this issue and felt that this was a neighborhood where
they felt lower density should be assigned. Mr. Kimberley pointed out that his wife, Donna
Kimberley, had presented to the City Council prior to the first reading of the Zoning Ordinance
a petition signed by several property owners on S. Maple. These property owners were requesting
that the high-density zoning designation be retained for their properties.
Betty Lartius, 1525 T Avenue, Boone, Iowa, presented a letter from James Merideth from Fox
Engineering that refuted that the IDNR can solve the pollution problems of College Creek. Ms.
Lartius feels that the City owes it to the owners of property in the new subdivision that the City
allowed to be created in this area to extend the City’s sanitary sewer system.
There being no one else wishing to speak, the Mayor closed public forum.
RECOGNITION OF EDWARDS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL: Mayor
Tedesco presented certificates to the 32 members of the 1999/2000 Edwards Elementary School
Safety Patrol. He also recognized Debbie Ramey, who coordinates the Patrol. She advised that
Edwards has also incorporated a bus patrol into this program, which has been very successful.
REQUEST FROM DON NEWBROUGH, AS PART OWNER OF SOUTHGATE SQUARE,
FOR ADDITIONAL ACCESS DRIVEWAY TO ELWOOD DRIVE: Paul Wiegand gave the
background leading up to this request for an additional driveway access to Elwood Drive from
property owned by the Sevde family. The request is being made by Don Newbrough, who is a
part owner of the Southgate Square development (immediately north of the Sevde property).
Brad Kuehl from Fox Engineering, Ames, serving as the engineer for the Sevde family, told the
City Council that they have been negotiating with the owners of Southgate Square concerning the
upgrading of the access drive. He stated that they still have not been able to reach an agreement
with the owners of Southgate Square; they have looked at several different alternatives for access
drives, but none have been approved by City staff.
Richard Steffen, Suite 1800, Financial Center, Des Moines, attorney for the Sevde family,
explained that they have been attempting to reach an agreement with the owners of Southgate
Square concerning the shared access driveway since November, 1999. He told the Council of the
many frustrations associated with attempts to reach a cross-easement agreement with all the
property owners involved. Mr. Steffen stated that the Sevde family and the developer for the
motel feel that the best solution is to create an additional access driveway.
5
Bob Shirk, 3201 Bayberry Road, Ames, representing the Southgate Square Association, pointed
out that there have been a lot of changes in the development of this area since 1980 when the
original PC Plan was approved. They are concerned about the long-term maintenance of the
access driveway should the Sevdes sell their property to other developers.
Karin Sevde, 1021 Airport Road, Ames, highlighted points contained in her letter that had been
distributed to the Council around the dais this evening. She stated that the Sevde family has
always wanted a separate access driveway for their nine-acre development. She explained how
the Sevdes acquired the property approximately 20 years ago and reviewed the development in
this area that has occurred since that time.
Mr. Wiegand explained that the geometric requirements for the joint drive turn lane and the
southbound to eastbound turn lane at the intersection of Elwood/Oakwood/Airport Road do not
allow another drive access to be located for Lots 5 and 6 without violating accepted design
standards for the volumes and speeds involved.
Jeff Harms, representing Comfort Suites, Ames, explained his involvement in this project during
the past year and one-half. He stated that his company has already invested over $300,000 and
still has not received a commitment on the access driveway issue.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Quirmbach, to reject the request to add another full movement
access point for Lot 5 and Lot 6 of Oakwood, 2nd Addition, and direct staff to rescind the
building permit if the joint access agreement is not executed by May 18, 2000.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
REQUEST FROM HUBBELL REALTY CORPORATION FOR PARKING AMENDMENTS
AT MAIN STREET STATION: Moved by Wirth, seconded by Hoffman, to adopt RESOLUTION
NO. 00-177 approving up to 50 spaces in Lots U, V, and Y to be designated as reserved parking
at a rate of $35/space/month on a first-come first-served basis.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these minutes.
REQUEST FROM THE AMES TRIBUNE TO CHANGE PARKING METER DURATIONS
ALONG FIFTH STREET FROM BURNETT AVENUE TO KELLOGG AVENUE: Moved
by Hoffman, seconded by Goodhue, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 00-178 allowing 15 parking
meters with 4-hour durations to be converted to 2-hour durations along the north side of Fifth
Street from Burnett Avenue to Kellogg Avenue.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these minutes.
FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT STUDY: Peggy Murdock, 823 Carroll Avenue, Ames,
expressed her appreciation of the City’s response to the floods of 1993 and 1996; however, since
6
that time, she has been dismayed at seeing development of properties back in the floodplain. She
feels that the Study prepared by Snyder & Associates did not take into account weather cycles.
Ms. Murdock asked that this issue be tabled until studies from local experts, specifically
precipitation and flooding expectations and other ecological studies suggested by Erv Klaas, can
be obtained. She also asked the Council to look into what can be done to mitigate the hardships
that would be
felt by 28 business owners affected by flooding. She referenced the success enjoyed by
Cherokee, Iowa, from their floodplain management.
Steven Gasteyer, 528 Crawford Avenue, also requested that the City table this issue. He talked
about the social impacts of not taking appropriate action to avoid flooding and suggested that
persons involved in Community and Regional Planning and similar areas of study at Iowa State
University with expertise in this matter be invited to participate in discussions on this issue.
David Maahs, Ames Chamber of Commerce, 213 Duff, expressed the support of the Chamber for
using the 1.0-foot surcharge and the regulations requiring a protection level standard that will be
set at 3.0 feet above the 100-year base-flood elevation.
Adrian Bennett, 2936 Ross Road, Ames, reiterated concerns expressed by Ms. Murdock and Mr.
Gasteyer. He also requested that the Council table this issue; he feels this is a very serious matter
that needs to be thought out very carefully.
Paul Wiegand said the next step would be for the staff to take a very detailed look at where the
line would be and make sure that the designation of that location would pass the regulatory 100-
year storm. He said the City is not under any kind of an order to take action immediately;
however, if a new ordinance is not in place, the old ordinance would be followed if any requests
for development were received.
Lisa Hein, 212 E. Seventh Street, Ames, stated that she works for the Iowa Natural Heritage
Foundation, and they are due to take possession of the greenbelt plan for Iowa tomorrow. She
suggested that the City take that plan into consideration when making their decision on this
matter.
Marlene Ehresman, 3123 Story Street, Ames, urged the Council not to allow further development
in the floodplain. She asked that Council look at ways to clean up Ames’ waterways. Ms.
Ehresman requested that this matter be tabled until further studies can be completed.
Bonnie Homstad, Ames, asked that the Council table this matter until City staff can meet with Erv
Klaas to discuss his recommendations for further study on this issue. Ms. Homstad, explaining
that she had served on the Zoning Board of Adjustment from 1995-2000, distributed a memo to
the City Council outlining examples of the City’s current practices in floodway and floodway
development, specifically citing cases occurring in 1995, 1997, and 1997/98.
7
Council Member Quirmbach stated that he would like to have a determination on how much
restricting development along Squaw Creek would impact commercial land and other land uses
and where the City would make up the difference.
Council Member Wirth asked if staff had any information about the Cherokee, Iowa, flood plan.
City Planning and Housing staff indicated that they did not. Ms. Wirth also referenced an APA
Journal article on water quality she had recently read and encouraged City staff to look at water
quality as well as quantity.
Council Member Cross asked Dale Herrington from Snyder & Associates if they had taken into
account any of the issues raised this evening. Mr. Herrington stated that they did look at a number
of these issues. He addressed water quality, discharge relating to rainfall and runoff, and
protection for the 22 properties located in the floodway fringe.
A letter had been placed around the dais this evening from Michael C. Meetz, 20267-580th
Avenue, Nevada, Iowa, requesting that the City Council obtain more information on long-range
weather forecasts and better watershed management practices before making a decision on this
issue.
Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Campbell, to direct staff to develop the detailed mapping for
the floodway using a 1.0-foot surcharge and the regulations requiring a protection level standard
that will be set at 3.0 feet above the 100-year base-flood elevation.
Goodhue withdrew motion.
Moved by Quirmbach, seconded by Hoffman, to table this matter and refer back to staff to arrange
a meeting with Erv Klaas to determine the area to be studied, the number of acres to be lost, and
the environment aspects.
Quirmbach withdrew motion.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Hoffman, to refer this issue to staff to set up a workshop with Erv
Klaas and other local experts to determine the environmental aspects.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Meeting recessed at 8:52 p.m. and reconvened at 8:57 p.m.
LAND USE POLICY PLAN MAP CHANGE FROM A DESIGNATION OF “RESIDENTIAL
LOW-DENSITY” TO “VILLAGE/SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL” FOR PROPERTIES
GENERALLY LOCATED IN SOUTHWEST AMES, EAST OF SOUTH DAKOTA, SOUTH
OF LINCOLN WAY, NORTH OF COLLEGE CREEK, AND WEST OF STATE AVENUE
(DOTSON FARM AND COCHRANE HOMESTEAD): Brian O’Connell, Director of Planning
and Housing, explained the request for a change to the Land Use Policy Plan being made by the
property owners of the Dotson Farm and Cochrane Homestead (approximately 71 acres). He told
8
the Council of the results of the meeting with neighborhood residents held approximately a week
ago.
Randy Lueth, Engineering Plus, Ames, said that the real issue becomes the area immediately
south of HyVee. He said they have a developer who is interested in constructing an independent-
living complex for elderly residents in that area. Citing the size of building necessary for that type
of project, Mr. Lueth stated that they needed the LUPP changed to allow for such a high-density-
type unit.
Milton Moyer, 201 Dotson Drive, Ames, asked that the LUPP not be changed from Residential
Low-Density for this project. He explained how the area had been developed; he feels it is already
quite dense.
Barb Duffelmeyer, 217 Dotson Drive, Ames, explained that she and her family do not approve
of the northern portion of the Dotson Farm (8-1/2 acres) being developed as high-density
residential; they would like it to remain as low-density. She stated that the developer is offering
no guarantee that an independent-living complex would be constructed on that land. Ms.
Duffelmeyer pointed out that this land is bounded on three sides by single-family residences.
Gholamreza Khosravi , 416 Jeffrey Lane, Ames, Iowa, pointed out that there are already 10 to 12
duplexes on Harris Avenue, which he feels are poorly managed and maintained. He asked that
high-density zoning not be allowed for this area as it is already very dense.
Contract zoning was explained by City Attorney John Klaus. He stated that an agreement may be
entered into by the developers and the City when approving a rezoning request that restricts,
among other things, size and occupancy. The City has had no legal experience with contract
zoning, and it would have to be determined what recourse the City would have if the developers
deviated from the agreement.
Larry Curtis, 323 Sixth Street, Ames, attorney for the applicants, stated that they are willing to
consider contract zoning, but that step is not necessary at this point; they are not requesting a
rezoning, but are requesting a change to the LUPP.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Goodhue, to deny the request to change the LUPP and encourage
staff to work with the developers to come back with a plan for contract zoning including specific
elements in the contract concerning building height, use, building materials, and landscaping,
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

this matter to May 9.

CONTRACT WITH DELOITTE & TOUCHE FOR AUDIT SERVICES: Duane Pitcher,
Finance Director, explained that there is value in rotating firms for audit services. He feels,
however, that in reviewing the submitted proposals, Deloitte & Touche’s proposal was more
complete and clearly better.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Wirth, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 00-181 approving a contract
with Deloitte & Touche to provide audit services for the City of Ames for 2000/01 thru 2002/03.
