PUBLIC FORUM: Douglas Nix, General Manager of AT&T Cable Service, appeared before
Council to update it on the company’s progress with its recently upgraded cable system.
Met Szopinski, 4123 Phoenix, questioned the Council about three issues: 1) when a City Council
member actively participates in the organization of an election proposal, is it a conflict of interest
when that member votes in favor of placing that issue on a ballot?; 2) how is it possible the
Council can vote on an item when it just receives the information during a meeting?; and, 3)
3
could the Council see that the taxi service use meters in its cabs? Mayor Tedesco advised that
many times information distributed during the Council meeting has been handed out to each
member previously. It might also be distributed during the meeting for public record purposes.
He further advised that the City did not regulate the taxi service as it is a privately-owned
business.
Sue Weiss, 215 Howard Avenue, said she previously appeared before Council regarding zoning
issues for property on Howard Avenue owned by Max Porter. Mr. Porter had been asked to work
with the neighborhood regarding design considerations, however, he has since sold the property
to Chuck Winkleblack. Ms. Weiss expressed concern for her children’s safety because the site
plan for the apartment building showed the driveway directly across from her property. In
reference to a memorandum to the Council from Randy Lueth regarding corner lot setbacks, she
stated she was in favor of that zoning change.
George Belitsos, 5508 West Lincoln Way, spoke on behalf of Youth and Shelter Services. He
urged the Council to consider banning smoking in restaurants. He thanked the Council for
passing the new ordinance pertaining to the selling of tobacco to minors.
Andrew Goedeken, 917 Ridgewood, member of the YSS Board of Directors, stated the board
has endorsed the concept of banning smoking in restaurants.
Rachel Henderson, Nevada, representing YSS’s “Few Do” Committee, said the committee
wanted to convey to youth that it is not popular to smoke, and it supported the banning of
smoking in restaurants.

INSTALLATION OF MID-BLOCK PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON 24TH STREET

that while the installation of a mid-block pedestrian signal did not meet traffic control industry
standards, he indicated the City could establish local standards for these types of signals on major
arterial streets. He reviewed the evaluation criteria.
4
Discussion was held regarding the Ames School District installing a sidewalk along its property
on the north side of 24th Street.
City Attorney John Klaus reviewed his correspondence pertaining to the issue of a sidewalk
assessment against the Ames School District. He indicated the Council could go through the
process for a special assessment program.
Moved by Quirmbach, seconded by Wirth, to approve the proposed criteria for installing
a mid-block pedestrian signal, with the addition of defining mid-block as 2,400 feet; and to
direct the installation of a mid-block pedestrian signal on 24th Street between Prairie View
West and Prairie View East, utilizing $20,000 of unobligated Road Use Tax Funds.
Clay Gurganus, 2620 Somerset, explained the course he will have to take to and from work
utilizing different Cy-Ride bus routes. On the way home, he will have to walk two-tenths of a
mile in the street along Bristol because there are currently no sidewalks.
Mr. Wiegand stated that the developers of Somerset Subdivision have not begun construction
of apartment buildings along Bristol, therefore, no sidewalk is required at this time. He would
work with the developers and request construction of the missing section of sidewalks.
Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Moved by Campbell, seconded by Hoffman, to direct the Mayor to write a letter to the
Ames School Board requesting that the School District install sidewalks along its property
that front 24th Street.

Map from the designation of “Village/Suburban Residential” and “Environmentally-Sensitive
Land” to “Agricultural/Farmstead” and “Environmentally-Sensitive Land” for properties
including and adjacent to Hallett’s Quarry.
Mimi Wagner, 1106 Harding Avenue, co-taught an ISU class on conservation and resource
management at Hallett’s Quarry. She said it was a rich experience for her class members,

Erv Klaas, 1405 Grand Avenue, indicated his support for the change to the Land Use Policy
Map for properties in and including Hallett’s Quarry.
Jim Dinsmore, 4024 Arkansas Drive, stated that he is in favor of redesignating the land use
for the Hallett’s Quarry area and that he wants to see the land developed into open space for
all the community’s citizens.
Glenn Wiedenhoeft, 211 S. Riverside Drive, said the community would reap great rewards
by protecting is watershed. He is a proponent of changing the Land Use Policy Plan Map.
Council Member Campbell referenced two letters in opposition which questioned the City’s
authority to change land designations outside the City’s corporate limits.
City Attorney Klaus explained that while the City does not have regulatory jurisdiction
outside the corporate limits, it can plan in and around its city limits. It is not wrong for the
Council to approve a comprehensive plan to guide it in planning where urban development
may occur.

m ade a portion of the se m inu tes.

REPORT ON IOWA WATER QUALITY STANDARDS WATER USE DESIGNATIONS:
John Dunn, Assistant Director of Water and Pollution Control, gave an overview of surface
water classifications which range from General Use to Classes A, B, and C. He indicated that
College Creek does not fall within any of the existing classifications. It is staff’s belief that
adoption of a new stream classification or minimum treatment requirement would be more
appropriate. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is currently reviewing its rules,
and this would be an ideal time to work with it to develop changes in addressing urban streams.
REPORT ON URBAN STREAM SAMPLING OPTIONS: Assistant Director of Water and
Pollution Control John Dunn stated that Council previously suggested that a routine sampling
plan might be implemented for streams or creeks coming into and within the City. He reviewed
five potential options and the pros and cons of each. Some of these options would require
additional staff and resources. Mr. Dunn further reviewed the estimated annual monitoring costs
for each of the options.
Discussion ensued regarding the usage of volunteers from the IOWATER Program. These
individuals are trained to perform samplings and could be very useful in the implementation of
a monitoring program.
Steve Veysay, 919 Murray, stated that the purpose of a sampling plan is a public health issue.
6
He indicated that he, along with about 20 other IOWATER trained volunteers in Ames, would
be willing to assist in samplings. However, stream-side testing for fecal coliform can not be
done. Mr. Veysay further indicated that Iowa is the only state that does not have a designation
value for secondary contact recreation streams. He said that it would be a great asset to have a
municipality sit at the table on the environmental issues side during discussions with the IDNR.
Dale Brentnall, 429 25th Street, urged the Council to work with the Iowa League of Cities to
lobby the State in efforts to protect Iowa’s streams and water courses. He felt that as a “cohesive
group”, we could step forward and work for the entire State of Iowa.
Moved by Hoffman, seconded by Campbell, to direct staff to work with the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources on stream classifications.
Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Moved by Campbell, seconded by Goodhue, to direct staff to pursue Option 1 of the Report:
Visual stream observations and field-testing (volunteers receiving training similar to the
IOWATER Program sponsored by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources could conduct
visual observations).
Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

REPORT O N CLG GRANT FUNDING FO R OLD TOW N HISTORIC DISTRICT SURVEY:
7
City Planner Ray Anderson explained that Council had budgeted $36,000 to conduct a survey
of Old Town Historic District and to identify/evaluate properties for National Register of
Historic Places nominations. He reviewed the two different grant programs which the City
investigated. Staff found that if it pursued either of the two grants, this project would not be
completed until at least three or four years into the future. In the interest of completing the
project in a timely manner, the City could hire a consultant to perform the survey, and the work
should be completed within a year, if not less.

HEARING ON ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT CHANGES: Planning and Housing Director
Brian O’Connell reviewed the proposal to allow Mixed Senior Housing Complexes in
Residential Medium Density Zones. In recent discussions with Newberry Development,
developer of the Dotson Property, it was found that the developer is intending to purchase only
a portion of the land at this time. Therefore, Newberry Development would not be seeking a
Special Use Permit for the combination of uses as provided in the text changes definition.
Discussion was held regarding whether the text changes as stated for the Zoning Ordinance
would have a positive impact for the entire City in Residential Medium Density Zones or
whether these changes were to solve a specific issue for the developer of the Dotson Property.
Mayor Tedesco declared the public hearing open.
Barb Duffelmeyer, 217 Dotson Drive, said that she had written a letter in support of the Mixed
Senior Housing Complex; however, since the situation has changed, she was unsure if she was
in support of the project at this time.
Denise Denton, member of the Historic Old Town board, distributed a letter to the Council. She
encouraged the City Council to evaluate the changes pertaining to Residential Medium Density
Zones carefully due to the impact it would have on neighborhoods.
The hearing was closed.
Moved by Quirmbach, seconded by Goodhue, to pass on first reading an ordinance
amending text to the Zoning Ordinance to allow for a Mixed Senior Housing Complex, or
a combination of Independent Senior Living Facilities with Assisted Living Facilities, in a
