of ideas broadcast on public access speaks well for our community.

REQUEST TO AMEND LAND USE POLICY PLAN FOR PROPERTY GENERALLY
LOCATED NORTH OF 13TH STREET, WEST OF DAYTON AVENUE (MAX BAILEY
ANNEXATION): Moved by Wirth, seconded by Hoffman, to adopt a RESOLUTION denying
request to amend Land Use Policy Plan.
Planning and Housing Director Brian O’Connell reviewed the staff report. He said Staff felt
annexation and development of the property with residential or commercial land uses was not
consistent with many of the goals and policies of the LUPP, such as the goal of providing a
second medical area to accommodate future medical growth.
Brian VandeWater, 1217 Grand, President of the Izaak Walton League, discussed several
concerns the League had regarding this request. He said they feel development in this area will
be detrimental to the natural habitat and wildlife corridor. He showed slides of deer herds in the
area, and said at this time, there was no clear distinction as to where development will start and
stop, and where designated natural areas would be.
Mr. VandeWater said the League also had concerns that high-density residential housing may
not be compatible with noise from the Izaak Walton shooting range.
Dean Hunziker, 105 South 16th St., said he was present representing Max Bailey, the property
owner. He reviewed the Planning and Zoning Commission’s response to the request. He said
the developers had met with the Izaak Walton Board members. He said they ask that the Land
Use Policy Plan amendment as it pertained to Parcel B, the northern 40 acres, to be rezoned as
Residential, be tabled until further study of the area could take place.
Mr. Hunziker said the highest and best use of the remainder of this land was commercial, as it
had traffic, visibility, and accessibility. He said there was no other area in Ames to allow for a
large commercial development.
Mr. Hunziker said medical use can still occur in a commercially zoned area. He said it had taken
over 100 years to create the existing 28-acre H-M District, and it is still not totally used. He said
recent medical businesses, i.e., Iowa Physician’s Clinic, have chosen to locate in a Commercial
zone.
Mr. Hunziker said he did not feel the issue of providing sanitary sewer infrastructure was as
great as Staff had suggested.
Mr. Hunziker said the wildlife corridor had been addressed many times, but had not been an
issue when the Ames Youth Sports Complex was proposed. He said he hoped that didn’t
represent a double standard.
There being no one present wishing to testify further, the public hearing was declared closed.
Roll Call Vote: 2-4. Voting Aye: Hoffman, Wirth. Voting Nay: Brown, Campbell, Parks,
Tedesco. Motion declared failed.
5
Moved by Tedesco, seconded by Brown, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 95-431 approving an

Density) for property generally located northwest of the intersection of East 13th Street and
Dayton Avenue.
Roll Call Vote: 4-2. Voting Aye: Brown, Campbell, Parks, Tedesco. Voting Nay: Hoffman,
Wirth. Resolution declared adopted, signed by the Mayor, and hereby made a portion of these
minutes.
CEBA APPLICATION FOR UNIVERSITY SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, INC.: Moved by
Parks, seconded by Campbell, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 95-432 approving submittal of

made a portion of these minutes.
REPORT REGARDING UTILIZATION OF REMAINING FUNDS FROM CENTER FOR

Housing Program, be sent out.
There was discussion regarding whether taking RFP’s at this time might not be premature.
Coun. Campbell withdrew the motion.
Moved by Campbell, seconded by Parks, that the remaining $38,891.00 be accepted so the issue
with CPD could be closed, with the City accepting no liability for the CPD or its Board
members.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

SOFTWARE UPGRADE: Moved by Tedesco, seconded by Hoffman, to adopt RESOLUTION
