OF THE AMES CITY COUNCIL
AMES, IOWA DECEMBER 19, 2000
The Ames City Council met in regular session at 5:30 p.m. on the 19th day of December, 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: Campbell, Cross, Goodhue,
Quirmbach, and Wirth. Council Member Hoffman arrived at 5:50 p.m.
CALL TO ORDER: 5:30 p.m.
Mayor Tedesco announced that on January 9 at 5:30 p.m., the Council will receive public input on
three proposed Capital Improvements Plan projects: (1) Hallett’s Quarry, (2) aquatics/recreation
center, and (3) a third fire station.
HALLETT’S QUARRY: Steve Schainker, City Manager, reminded the Council that they had
requested additional information at their meeting of October 24, 2000, when three alternatives
for developing the Hallett’s Quarry area into an open space project had been presented to them.
They had asked for a cost breakdown for the components reflected in each alternative and for the
costs associated with attaining the water quality goals versus providing an open space experience
to be identified. He explained that six options are going to be presented to Council this evening,
and analyses detailing costs will be discussed. Mr. Schainker told the Council that no actual in-
lake water quality data from Hallett’s Quarry was used by consultants to establish the in-lake
water quality goal (60 parts per billion of phosphorus); they used computer modeling from lakes
in other parts of the region. He pointed out that the consultants have indicated that the level of
confidence for achieving that approved water quality goal would increase with the amount of
land included in the project.
Nancy Carroll, Director of Parks and Recreation, introduced Parks & Recreation Commission
members in attendance: Beth Cross, Chuck Glotfelty, Linda Emmerson, and Mike Hamilton. She
also introduced consultants Jim Patchett and Sara Utter with the Conservation Design Forum.
Ms. Carroll gave a review of each of the six options being presented to the City Council for
consideration. Each option showed the costs broken down between those associated only with
water quality and those associated with open space. Council Member Quirmbach pointed out that
the cost of the land should be shown as a joint cost; it should not be shown as being associated
only with water quality.
Ms. Carroll told the City Council that Story County is not able to provide financial assistance to
the project; however, the Conservation Board can provide expertise and in-kind labor for the
establishment of the prairie, wetland, woodland, and meadow areas. This assistance would result
in significant savings to the City.
Mr. Schainker summarized the capital costs, the estimated annual operating costs, and the
confidence levels to meet the water quality goal for each of the six options. He also detailed the
estimated tax impact on residential, commercial, and industrial properties based on 12-year and
20-year schedules.

Mr. Schainker advised that this decision is a policy issue for the City Council, and the staff has
no specific recommendation. He said, however, that some people have suggested that the City
should merely purchase the land needed to attain the water quality and develop the park features
at some later date. Mr. Schainker advised that staff does not support that strategy because it is
believed that the public will demand usage of this new recreational amenity, and secondly, in
order to develop the park-related components at a later date, it is likely that a second bond issue
would be required.
Ms. Carroll advised that the formal recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission
was to support Option Six. Option Six is to acquire 467 acres of land. The total cost for that
Option is estimated at $6,435,367(including Story County installing the woodland, prairie,
wetland, and meadow). That scaled-back alternative was supported because of a preference for
a passive environmentally sensitive experience with the greatest likelihood that the water quality
standards will be met.
Council Member Goodhue asked if the County’s offer of in-kind service and expertise had been
formalized. Steve Lekwa, Director of the Story County Conservation Board, explained that their
meeting, originally scheduled for last evening, needed to be rescheduled due to the weather. He
had hoped to come to tonight’s meeting with a signed resolution. Mr. Lekwa said with assurance
that the Conservation Board encourages this partnership with the City, and he looks forward to
bringing forth a more formalized agreement in the near future.
Jim Patchett, President of Conservation Design Forum, expressed appreciation to the community,
staff, Council, and Commission for working with his firm. He concurs with the direction given
by the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Moved by Hoffman, seconded by Wirth, to support Option Six.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

RENEWAL OF LIQUOR LICENSES & BEER PERMITS: Council Member Quirmbach asked
for an explanation of the staff’s recommendation to renew the license for The Dean’s
List/Tazzles since that establishment had 29 alcohol-related offenses from January thru
November 2000, and the majority of those were “Under-Age on Premises.”
Police Chief Ballantine explained that the Police Department is monitoring that establishment
very closely. He said that the license-holders of The Dean’s List/Tazzle’s were part of the group
that met and developed the criteria that the City Council adopted. Since that time, the alcohol-
related offenses recorded at that establishment have decreased significantly.

PUBLIC FORUM: No one spoke during this time.
HEARING ON URBAN REVITALIZATION PLAN FOR SOMERSET VILLAGE
(Continued from 11/28/00): Mayor Tedesco opened the public hearing.
Chuck Winkleblack, 3206 Magnolia Circle, Ames, representing the developers of Somerset
Village, pointed out that, according to the City Council, the village concept is the preferred form
of development and is following the direction of the City’s Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP). He
said that housing sales in this Village are lagging behind the other subdivisions. The developers
feel that it is crucial that Somerset Village move forward. He pointed out that the developers
have pledged an additional million dollars out-of-pocket as sales incentives to make this project
work.
Council Member Cross asked what marketing measures have been used to promote the
development. Mr. Winkleblack said that they have held educational seminars, put their product
on the multiple-listing registry, and worked to dispel the myths being circulated about Somerset
4
Village. They have not done any market study per se. He said the developers are committed to
finishing what has been started; they cannot change the design guidelines or standards now, and
they cannot tell the persons who’ve purchased property in Somerset that the plan has changed.
The developers feel that the tax incentive will not be needed to entice people to live there after
it is built up; it will be a desired area. Mr. Winkleblack pointed out that neither the City nor the
developers know if the village concept is the desired model for the future because it is not built
up to the extent that it can be fairly determined if it is going to be successful.
Council Member Hoffman suggested that the marketing firm of Zimmerman/Volk be brought
to Ames to analyze the market potential and development strategies for Somerset Village. She
explained that the services of this firm had been requested to assist in analyzing what might be
contributing to the slow pace of single-family home sales. Zimmerman/Volk reviewed
subdivision maps, unit designs, unit pricing, photographs, and the City Assessor’s sales data, but
no one from the firm has visited Somerset Village personally. Mr. Winkleblack said the
developers are concerned about the time it would take for the analysis to be completed; they
cannot afford to skip a construction cycle.
Joe Lynch, 3700 Onion Creek Lane, Ames, stated that he agreed that village development is very
important to the future of Ames. It is well known that this type of development is quite
successful in other cities and states; he referenced Wisconsin, Colorado, Missouri, and recently,
in Iowa City, where they have retained the services of Zimmerman/Volk to assist them with a
village-style development. Mr. Lynch advised that he disagrees that tax abatement is necessary
to sell this concept. From research Mr. Lynch has conducted, he said he has concluded that a
well-staged, well-designed village can expect a premium price after the development is well
underway. Mr. Lynch suggested that Zimmerman/Volk be contacted to answer some of the
questions about Somerset left unanswered.
Erb Hunziker, 2619 Lindenwood Circle, Ames, said that it is his belief that if the developers are
able to build twice as many units in Somerset as what they are currently building, the City would
break even in five years and may possibly make money. Council Member Quirmbach doesn’t
believe that there is that much demand for housing. He believes that if Somerset is fully
occupied, other subdivisions would suffer. Mr. Hunziker believes that there is adequate demand;
the people will move here from nearby cities if Ames can provide a competitive market.
Roger Berger, 4121 Dawes Drive, Ames, spoke in opposition to granting a tax abatement for
Somerset Village. He is baffled by the fact that Somerset has not caught on; however, as a
taxpayer, he does not feel that he should have to pay taxes and others who live in Ames would
not.
Mark Hanson, 3212 Sumac Circle, Ames, explained that it was his understanding that the City
did mandate this type of development for Somerset Village. As a builder, Mr. Hanson believes
that there is potential in Somerset if there is some assistance provided by the City in the form of
tax abatement.
Bonnie Homstad, 2721 Burr Oak Circle, Ames, stated that she is in favor of tax abatement if it
has been proven that all other methods have been exhausted. She believes that Somerset Village
is developing at a reasonable pace. As a realtor, Ms. Homstad said that statistics she has prove
that the townhomes in Somerset have sold at a rate of 40 days faster than the rest of the market.
She said that single-family homes in Somerset are also selling faster than homes in some of the
5
other newer subdivisions. Ms. Homstad said she believes that marketing/promoting will play a
big part in how Somerset develops.
Chuck Winkleblack advised that information verified by the City Assessor and the Multiple-
Listing Service shows that the total market volume for Ames, Iowa, is up 18%. The number of
days on the market is difficult to determine because there is no unified starting time. Mr.
Winkleblack said that fair comparisons are not being made.
Richard Horn, City Assessor, clarified that the amount of the abatement would equate to $3.1
million over a period of five years if Somerset reached complete build-out. During the last five
years, Mr. Horn explained that ISU took approximately 1,000 beds from the market when
Pammel Court was removed. During that time frame, apartments were in demand, and it was not
necessary to discount rents to achieve full lease-up. Mr. Horn pointed out that those units have
been more than replaced, and the demand for apartments is not as high. He also advised that
attached-housing is a limited-market segment in Ames. Somerset added 53 units to the supply
in just three years, and he believes that this has created an oversupply of attached-housing
inventory; longer selling times are an inevitable result, in Mr. Horn’s opinion. Mr. Horn advised
that the City Council needs to understand that they would be setting a precedent by creating a tax
abatement for Somerset Subdivision. He feels that granting tax abatement for this Subdivision
could also create a problem for other subdivisions.
Council Member Campbell suggested that this issue be tabled until the first meeting in January
to allow the City Manager to get a report concerning the availability of Zimmerman/Volk and
a timeframe for the completion of a marketing analysis regarding Somerset.
Council Member Quirmbach said that he would like to see a scaled-back and more-targeted
approach, e.g., provide a three-year tax abatement to single-family residential and limit it to those
houses priced under $100,000.
Moved by Hoffman, seconded by Cross, to continue the hearing until January 9, 2001, in order
for staff to report back after contacting Zimmerman/Volk to see what services they can provide
to the City and their time frame regarding Somerset Village.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

(Continued from 11/28/00): Mayor Tedesco opened the public hearing.

REQUEST OF BUSINESS OWNERS TO PAVE A PORTION OF SE 16TH STREET: A
written request from Monte Parrish, Abrego Ames, Inc., to postpone this item until the Council
meeting of February 27, 2001, was received and placed around the dais.
Moved by Wirth, seconded by Quirmbach, to table this item until February 27, 2001.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

The meeting recessed at 8:35 p.m. and reconvened at 8:40 p.m.
TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN: Paul Wiegand, Public Works Director, reiterated the
importance of the Transportation Plan as it relates to the LUPP. He outlined the components of
the multimodal plan. The financial feasibility of the Plan was also addressed by Mr. Wiegand.
Council Member Campbell asked what impact the development of Harrison Road from Stange
Road to Grand Avenue would have on Hallett’s Quarry. Mr. Wiegand said that there would be
some impact.
Moved by Campbell, seconded by Hoffman, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 00-549 approving the
Transportation Plan with the following modifications: (1) removal of the recommendation to
reserve right-of-way for the extension of Grand Avenue south of South 16th Street, (2) inclusion
of the bikeway along the railroad tracks north of Bloomington Road going to Gilbert, and (3)
