OF THE AMES CITY COUNCIL
AMES, IOWA JUNE 27, 2000
The Ames City Council met in regular session at 7:00 p.m. on the 27th day of June, 2000, 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: Cross, Goodhue, Hoffman, Quirmbach, and
Wirth. Council Member Campbell was absent.
CALL TO ORDER: 7:00 p.m.
PRESENTATION BY DESTINATION AMES CONCERNING INCREASING THE
HOTEL/MOTEL TAX FROM 5 TO 7%: Harry McMaken, 234 S. Franklin, Ames, representing
Destination Ames, gave a brief presentation on their proposal to increase the Hotel/Motel Tax
from 5 to 7%, and specifically, to split the additional tax monies with 1 cent going to the Ames
Convention & Visitors Bureau and 1 cent being distributed as matching funds for infrastructure
and program development. The projects must enhance the artistic, cultural, historical
presentation, and/or recreational assets of the Ames community and must demonstrate a potential
to attract audiences or participants from outside as well as from within the community.
Kevin Cook, 1403 Linden Drive, Ames, spoke on behalf of the ACVB Board of Directors. He
distributed a document citing the ACVB Board’s position on this matter and a pamphlet
outlining their Strategic Plan for 2001-05.
Mr. McMaken explained the process followed by Destination Ames to arrive at the point of
making this request. He pointed out three criteria that each project proposal must meet to be
eligible for funding: (1) must positively impact the tourism industry, (2) must have matching
contributions in place prior to receiving funds, (3) must undergo and pass a performance review
every year to continue receiving funds. They are also proposing that a seven-member board be
assigned the responsibility to recommend disbursement of the funds. Mr. McMaken distributed
calculations on revenues brought to this community, current and projected (when the Complex
is completed), relative to the AmesYouth Sports Complex.
Moved by Hoffman, seconded by Cross, that the issue of an increase to the Hotel/Motel Tax be
placed on the City Council’s agenda of July 11, 2000.

PUBLIC FORUM: Elaine Dunn, 703 Northwestern Avenue, Ames, representing the Human
Relations Commission, introduced two other members of the Commission present: Joyce
Samuels and Kathy Watson. Ms. Dunn informed the City Council that the Commission had
recently been awarded a grant of $3,000; these funds will be used to enhance Study Circles
(Dialogs) in the community.
Peter Sherman, 3213 Ross Road, Ames, spoke on the issue of liquor license renewals in Ames.
He is the owner of Boheme. Mr. Sherman talked about consistency and due process issues and
the damage he felt had been done to his establishment’s and/or the City Council’s reputation
caused by the recent denial of Boheme’s annual liquor license.
Met Szopinski, 4123 Phoenix, Ames, asked where the meeting will be held when the proposed
increase to the Hotel/Motel Tax will be discussed. Mayor Tedesco advised that the discussion
will occur at the City Council’s meeting of July 11, 2000, to be held in the City Council
Chambers, 515 Clark Avenue.
Timothy Radloff, 606 Luther Drive, #234; Ames, Iowa, read a letter on behalf of International
and American students concerning what Boheme means to them.
Adam Delaney, 1314 Idaho, Ames, Iowa, also voiced his support of the Boheme Bistro by
reading a letter, and distributing same, to the Council.
Cliff Larsen, former owner of 2900 West Street, expressed his concern and the concerns of the
current owners about the possibility of the lessee, Mr. Sherman, losing his liquor license. He
informed City Council that if that happened, the owners could not lease the premises to another
establishment that sells alcohol for a period of six months. It was Mr. Larsen’s understanding
that Boheme was a restaurant, and discussion ensued on how it was determined if an
establishment was classified as a bar or as a restaurant.

made a portion of these minutes.
REQUEST FROM AMES BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR AN ANALYSIS TO
DETERMINE THE BEST METHOD OF PRESERVING LAND AT THE INTERSECTION
OF MORTENSEN ROAD AND STATE AVENUE FOR USE AS A SCHOOL SITE: Ray
Richardson, Deputy Superintendent of the Ames Community School District, requested that the
City take whatever efforts were possible to keep property near the intersection of Mortensen
Road and State Avenue zoned “Governmental.” The property is currently owned by Iowa State
University, but will be auctioned on June 30. The Ames School District had made attempts to
purchase the land from the University; however, their offers were not accepted. The School
District still hopes to acquire the land in question in order to construct a secondary education
facility and will be bidding on the property on June 30. Mr. Richardson explained that Ames’
Land Use Plan now designates the land to be eventually used as “suburban/village.” Mayor
Tedesco informed Mr. Richardson that the City has not received any formal request to rezone
the subject land. He said that it would be helpful if the Ames Community School District would
present any plans that they have for future growth to the City Council. Jim Chrisinger, 2612
Cleveland Drive, Ames, a member of the Ames School Board, stated that it was not the intent
of the School District to ask the City to place any regulatory restrictions on this land in order to
ensure that the School District acquires it. He explained that a search of land in this community
has gleaned no other parcels suitable for the construction of a secondary education facility. Mr.
5
Chrisinger asked the City Council to be sensitive to the needs of the School District
and provide support in whatever way they could to assist the District in finding a suitable site for
educational facilities.
Warren Madden, 1528 Oakwood Road, Ames, speaking as Vice President for Business and
Finance at Iowa State University (ISU), explained that they have offered to discuss this issue
again with Ames School District representatives; however, no such meeting has been arranged.
Mr. Madden said that the policy of the state of Iowa requires that land be sold at market value.
The University feels that it has fiduciary responsibility to carry out the auction to ensure that the
land is sold at market value.
Council Member Quirmbach suggested that the University use a different mode of analysis to
assess value. He explained that it is difficult for ISU to attract qualified faculty, and a real
drawing point to Ames is the quality of Ames’ schools. Therefore, Mr. Quirmbach feels that it
would be in the University’s best long-term interest to allow the Ames School District to
purchase the subject property at a fair price in order to construct a secondary education facility.
Mr. Richardson addressed Mr. Madden’s comments, stating that the Ames School District has
met with or attempted to meet with representatives from Iowa State University and/or the Board
of Regents many times. He explained that the School District got two land appraisals initially,
got re-appraisals at the request of the University, and have done everything asked of them by
ISU; however, they have not been successful in their attempts to purchase the land in question.
The meeting recessed at 9:05 and reconvened at 9:10 p.m.

DISCUSSION OF ELEVATOR REQUIREMENTS FOR APARTMENT BUILDINGS: City
Attorney John Klaus explained that there has been a recurrence of controversy over whether state
handicapped accessibility regulations require elevators in apartment buildings of three or more
stories.
Fire Chief Clint Petersen explained that this is particularly germane to Ames as local builders
have not been and will not be issued building permits or Certificates of Occupancy for three-
story apartment buildings without elevators until this issue is resolved.
Norm Rudi, 2012 Pinehurst Drive, Ames, informed the Council that adoption of the State of
Iowa Building Code is not mandatory for cities.
Chuck Winkleblack, 3206 Magnolia Circle, Ames, Iowa, who is affiliated with Hunziker &
Associates, advised that rent in a three-story apartment building needs to increase by
approximately $42/month/unit to account for the installation of an elevator. He feels there is
adequate housing in Ames for persons with disabilities.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Goodhue, to direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to
remove the blanket adoption by reference of the state handicapped accessibility rules and enact
specifically all the provisions of those rules with a specific exemption of three-story apartment
buildings from the elevator requirement.
Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

made a portion of these minutes.

explained that if the City Council approves this annexation at their meeting of July 11, the land
will come in as nonconforming (due to the passage of the Zoning Ordinance text amendments).

STAFF REPORT REGARDING RESIDENTIAL DENSITIES FOR SUBURBAN
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT (UTHE FARM): Brian O’Connell gave the background of
how the City Council arrived at their requirement of 3.75 dwelling units per acre. He explained
10
that the developers of the Uthe Farm are now in the process of designing a subdivision for this
property under the newly adopted Suburban Residential Floating Zone regulation. The
developers believe that it is not possible to provide a sufficient number of large lots and meet the
3.75 dwelling units/acre requirement. Discussion ensued on whether the minimum density
requirement should be limited to single-family and two-family housing or if other housing unit
types, e.g., single-family attached townhomes, could also be included among the dwelling types
that could contribute to meeting the density requirement.
Moved by Hoffman, seconded by Cross, to refer this issue to staff, recommending a change to
the Suburban Residential regulation to allow single-family attached dwellings in the Suburban
Residential Low-Density Zone to be a permitted use.
Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

City staff met with the Iowa Emergency Management Division (IEMD) to discuss possible
changes to the Program on June 20 and with the actively participating businesses in the Program
on June 21, 2000. He said that most of the businesses indicated a willingness to participate in
a modified Program.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Wirth , to authorize the Mayor to request an extension to the first
phase of the Floodwall Program for one year.
Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
