OF THE AMES CITY COUNCIL
AMES, IOWA MAY 11, 1999
The Ames City Council met in regular session at 6:30 p.m. on the 11th of May, 1999, 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, Hoffman, Parks, Quirmbach, and
Wirth. Council Member Cross arrived at 7:04 p.m.
JOINT MEETING WITH ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT(ZBA): Chairperson Steve
Goodhue introduced the other Board members present: Bonnie Homstad, Robin Habeger, and
Bob Hildebrand. Mr. Goodhue gave a summary of the cases heard by ZBA in 1997, 1998, and
1999. He expounded on four cases which had been appealed to District Court.
Mr. Goodhue pointed out that the proposed new Zoning Ordinance delegates many new Special
Use Permits to the authority of the ZBA, and there will be a workshop for ZBA members on the
new Ordinance on May 26. According to Mr. Goodhue, the Board would like to see ordinance
changes which would allow for administrative/staff approval for the following:
1.Conditional Use Permits for bike paths, bridges, and erosion control in floodway.
2.Special Permits for home occupations, particularly if there are no employees or customer
traffic associated with the business.
3.Requests for minor variances, perhaps a percentage of a minimum number of feet for a
side-yard or rear-yard setback.
Council Member Hoffman asked what the staff’s opinion was on the Board’s proposed ordinance
changes. Eden Schmitt, City Planner, stated that those dealing with home occupations have been
added to the revised Zoning Ordinance; those dealing with floodplain issues have requirements
from the state and may not be able to be handled by staff; and variance requirements, no matter
how minor, have standards prescribed by the Supreme Court.
Bob Hildebrand stated that one of the most difficult things that the Board is faced with is home
improvement projects done by the homeowners. Oftentimes the homeowner does not check
with the City before construction begins and the project may not be legal. He suggested that the
“City Side” publication received with the utility bill offer information on what is needed prior
to the homeowner commencing the project. Council Member Quirmbach suggested that
information on the City’s requirements for “do-it-yourself” home improvement projects be
placed on the City’s Web page and also distributed to local stores selling building materials.
The meeting recessed at 7:04 p.m., and reconvened at 7:07 p.m.
PROCLAMATIONS/PRESENTATIONS: Mayor Tedesco recognized the AAA School Safety
Patrols from Fellows, Sawyer, Edwards, and Crawford Elementary Schools and presented
certificates to each student. Karen Philips, sponsoring Fellows; Cheryl Jensen, sponsoring
Sawyer; Deb Ramey, sponsoring Edwards; and Karen Eggert, sponsoring Crawford, were also
recognized.

Rich Fellingham, Executive Director, and Lana Voga, Chairperson of the Special Olympics,
accepted the proclamation. Representing participating athletes were Sara Cummings, Dan
Billinghausen, and John Ross. Ms. Cummings thanked the community for their support.
May 1999 was proclaimed as National Mental Health Month by Mayor Tedesco. Accepting
the proclamation were members of the Richmond Center Board of Directors: Sandra
McJimsey, Mary Bernard, Martha Isaacson, Hannah Gradwohl, and Patty Whiteford.
Mayor Tedesco proclaimed May 9 - 15, 1999, as National Nursing Home Week. Judy Covey

4
Council Member Cross asked how many golf carts were anticipated for this event. Rich
Harter, Executive Director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, said that they were
estimating 100 golf carts. Council Member Parks asked if the City assumed any liability by
allowing golf carts on bike paths and City sidewalks. Assistant City Attorney Parks stated no
more so than bicycles, vehicles, or pedestrians. Mr. Parks feels that a sunset clause should be
included in the amendment to the ordinance.
Moved by Hoffman, seconded by Campbell, to amend the motion to approve the FMCA’s
request to use motorized golf carts on designated bicycle paths and sidewalks along Elwood
Drive, Beach Avenue, and S. 16th Street, but to not allow golf carts to use either the Lincoln
Way sidewalk or the Elwood/S. Fourth Street intersection (due to potential safety conflicts at
those locations) and to direct the City Attorney to prepare amendments to Section 4.8(4) and
26.42 of the Municipal Code to allow for City Council approve of the operation of golf carts
on City bicycle paths and sidewalks with the approved dates being specific to this Convention.
Vote on Amendment: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

ramps within 48 hours of the close of the FMCA Conference.
2.Payment by the FMCA for the installation and removal of the temporary curb ramps as
well as any damage caused to the street curbs and adjacent right-of-way.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Council Member Parks advised that when representatives of the ISU Research Park met with
the FMCA, they had recommended that the motor homes enter from the west entrance of South
Loop Drive due to the significant construction occurring on Lot 14. He also stated that a new
facility will be open on Lot 1 and employees will need to have access. Therefore, the
representatives of the ISU Research Park preferred not to close South Loop Drive. Council
Member Wirth asked Rich Harter, Executive Director of the Ames Convention and Visitors
Bureau, how much traffic could be expected. Mr. Harter stated that approximately 5-7,000
motor homes are expected. He said that letters were sent to every resident living in the
perimeter around the proposed parking area explaining the FMCA event.

Moved by Cross, seconded by Campbell, to deny the request of FMCA to close South Loop
Drive.

AMENDMENT TO LAND USE POLICY PLAN MAP FOR THE AREA AROUND
HALLETT’S QUARRY: Brian O’Connell, Director of the Planning and Housing Department,
described the proposal to change the Land Use Policy Plan Map for “Village Suburban
Residential” land use north of the current City limits, including the former Hallett’s Quarry
side and properties surrounding the Quarry to the north, south, and west. He explained that the
Council is also being asked to expand the Urban Growth Boundary for the “New Lands” to
6
include all of the subject properties. Mr. O’Connell discussed several benefits to the City if
these changes were allowed. Several known challenges which the community would face if
the development were to be allowed were also explained. According to Mr. O’Connell, staff
believes that this project represents unique attributes for the City of Ames that cannot be found
elsewhere in the County. Mr. O’Connell said that a Developer’s Agreement would be
necessary and a request to annex would be forthcoming if the development were approved.
If the challenges are not able to be worked out to the satisfaction of the City, then the
annexation would not occur.
Council Member Quirmbach said he felt that there is no particular urgency to move on this
issue per the Park Master Plan; that Plan indicates a time frame of 15 years for development
of a park around Hallett’s Quarry. It was pointed out that the Park Master Plan indicated a
time frame of 15 years for acquiring park land around the Quarry; however, this is an
opportunity for public access to Hallett’s Quarry without the City actually purchasing the land.
Council Member Campbell stated that if this development is allowed, she hoped that the City
would set stringent design criteria.
Scott Renaud, Fox Engineering, Ames, representing the developer, stated that the lake is the
focus of this proposed development. He said that the developer, Hubbell Realty, recognizes
that there are many issues which need to be worked out; however, they are confident that they
can be worked out to benefit both the City and the developer. Mr. Renaud explained the
different design elements which needed to be integrated to make the development workable.
He went on to explain the park land plan and proposed trail system.
Council Member Quirmbach said that he is willing to go along with this stage since there are
enough potential benefits to be realized by the City. He pointed out, however, that approving
a change to the LUPP Map does not commit the Council to grant approval of the annexation
or rezoning of Hallett’s Quarry.
Moved by Parks, seconded by Cross, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 99-161 approving an
amendment to the Land Use Policy Plan Map from “Environmentally Sensitive Land” and
“Agricultural/Farmstead” to “Environmentally Sensitive Land” and “Village/Suburban
Residential” for property generally located north of the Ames corporate limits, west of U. S.
Highway 69, east of Grant Avenue, and south of West 190th Street.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and
hereby made a portion of these minutes.
PHASE I ANNEXATION STUDY FOR THE WESTERN FRINGE AREA OF THE CITY OF
AMES: Brian O’Connell gave a synopsis of the actions taken by Council concerning the Phase I
Annexation Study for the Western Fringe Area. He stated that this is a study only at this time;
a decision to annex land has not been made. A summary was given of the four areas analyzed:
the Southwest Growth Area, the Northwest Growth Area, the Boundary Adjustment Area (all
of which are in Story County), and the West 2-Mile Area (which is in Boone County).
Glenda Bradshaw, 3104 S. 500th Avenue, Ames, Iowa, had furnished the Council with a map
depicting the boundaries of the United Community School District. She pointed out that a
large portion of the land being considered for annexation is in that School District and made
7
Council aware that the United Community School Board had signed a ten-year agreement with
the Boone School District that all junior- and senior-high students from United will attend
Boone Schools next fall. Ms. Bradshaw also presented maps showing landowners of the entire
section, many of whom have verbally stated an unwillingness to sell for development.
Speaking in opposition to development of the rural area around her property, Ms. Bradshaw
stated that there is only a total of 160 acres possible for development. She had originally
thought that her property was included in the boundaries for possible annexation; however, it
was pointed out that the initial report prepared by Snyder & Associates included an incorrect
graphic.
Mr. O’Connell reviewed the City’s annexation needs based on projected population growth.
He said that it had been determined by Snyder & Associates, who were employed by the City
to perform a study on potential areas for annexation, that the Southwest Growth Area and the
Boundary Adjustment Area (both in Story County) would be the most easily serviceable by the
City’s current infrastructure. Mr. O’Connell advised that these two areas would provide land
area that would support approximately 15 years of residential growth at the current trend.
Council Member Quirmbach said that perhaps a study of the potential of development in the
West 2-Mile Area should be pursued so as to alleviate inheriting problems of development if
Ames were to grow in that area in the future. Council Member Parks disagreed, saying that
it was not logical to study land that is not in the City’s 30-Year Plan.
Council Member Cross asked what would be included in the Phase II Study. Brian O’Connell
advised that the City will be working much more closely with the property owners to see what
effects will be felt by them. In addition, Phase II will be much more detailed and extensive
regarding water and sewer corridors, cost benefits, and benefits versus ramifications.
Kim Christiansen, who lives along R38, requested that the City not continue with the Phase
II Study for the Southwest Growth Area. He thinks that the majority of the property owners
in that area do not want to be annexed to the City of Ames. The issue of involuntary
annexation develops a lot of hard feelings between the property owners and the city. Mr.
Christenson feels that the Council would be permitting urban sprawl if they chose to pursue
annexing the land in the Southwest Growth Area.
Alan Munson, 4001 Dartmoor Road, Ames, spoke against the annexation of land around his
property. He feels that most of the property owners are not in favor of their land being annexed
to the City of Ames and that it would be a real battle for the City to pursue involuntary
annexation. He also expressed dismay over the lack of information known by the developer
concerning school district boundaries and the annexation process.
Council Member Wirth stated that it was important to realize that pursuit of the Phase II Study
did not mean that the land will be annexed; it provides more information to the Council on
whether that action would be cost-beneficial or logical.
Council Member Parks reiterated his opinion that a very significant area that has been excluded
from the initial Study is the land to the north of Ames, specifically the areas around Hallett’s
Quarry and the Uthe Farm. He believes those would be the most logical areas to pursue for
annexation and should be included in the Study.
8
Council Member Cross stated that he would like the Study to include marketability. City
Manager Steve Schainker said that cost-benefit analysis could be done, however, the
consultants do not assess marketability.
Council Member Wirth asked why the northern area wasn’t considered throughout the process
of reviewing the Land Use Policy Plan. Brian O’Connell stated that he believed it was due to
the inavailability of the road infrastructure.
Moved by Quirmbach, seconded by Wirth, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 99-160 approving
Phase I of the Annexation Study of the Western Fringe Area of the City of Ames and directing
that the Phase II Study of the Southwest Growth Area and the Boundary Adjustment Area
proceed immediately.
Moved by Parks, seconded by Cross, to amend the motion to include the area from Grand
Avenue west to George Washington Carver and bordered on the north by Moose Road (to
include Phase I and Phase II). Vote on Amendment: 4-2. Voting aye: Campbell, Cross,
Hoffman, Parks. Voting nay: Wirth, Quirmbach. Motion declared carried.
Roll Call Vote on Amended Motion: 5-1. Voting aye: Campbell, Cross, Hoffman, Parks,
Quirmbach. Voting nay: Wirth. Resolution declared adopted, signed by the Mayor, and
hereby made a portion of these minutes.
P-C PLAN TO ALLOW 12-UNIT APARTMENT BUILDING AT 608 DOUGLAS AVENUE:
Council Member Cross asked what type of siding will be installed on the building. Mike
Despard from Jensen Design Build stated that the siding will be steel with brick. The report
given to Council had stated that the siding would be vinyl, however, that has been changed to
steel.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Parks, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 99-162 approving the P-C
Plan for 608 Douglas Avenue to allow the construction of a 12-unit apartment building with
the following stipulations:
1.In each of the garages, adequate area shall be maintained for parking; the garages shall not
be used extensively for storage.
2.The siding on the 12-unit apartment building will be steel with brick.

AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE POWER FROM MUSCATINE POWER & WATER
MUNICIPAL SYSTEM: Council Member Quirmbach asked what the source of increased need by
Iowa State University was due to from 1999 to 2000. Merlin Hove, Director of the Electric
Department, stated that in 1999, the MW demand for ISU will be satisfied by their purchase
of power from the City of Ames. In 2000, their needs will be 7.0, which will mean freeing up
9 MW for the City’s own use; therefore ISU’s need actually will be reduced to 7.0 from 9.0
MW.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Hoffman, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 99-166 approving the
Participation Power Interchange Agreement between the City of Ames Municipal Electric
System and Muscatine Power & Water Municipal System contingent upon authorization by
the Board of Regents of the proposed revisions to the existing Ames/ISU Transmission Service
Agreement.
