Mr. James Elza, Polk County Planner, 5885 NE 14th Street, Des Moines, Iowa, gave a presentation about the Polk County 2030 Comprehensive Plan update. Mr. Elza said that the update began in 2004, and the final draft will be printed in the next few weeks. Copies of the Comprehensive Plan will be made available at the City Center for the Mayor and Council Members. Mr. Elza highlighted the Land Use, Economic Development, Housing and Implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. He stressed that Polk County supports growth in Bondurant.
Mr. William J. Ludwig, AIA, APA, Ludwig & Associates, 1444 Northwest 124th Court, Des Moines, Iowa, and Mr. Jeff Schug, P.E., McClure Engineering Company, 400 Southeast Delaware Avenue, Ankeny, Iowa, presented the Action Development Planning Workbook and answered questions from the Mayor and Council Members. Mr. Ludwig stated the next step would be discussions with developers and property owners to determine if the ideas in the Action Plan are possible. Council Member Kromrie asked why two of the proposed development areas that Mr. Ludwig highlighted were areas that were known to be unavailable for sale. Council Member Adams questioned how the Action Plan tied in with the City’s current Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Schug stated the two documents are viewed separately. The Comprehensive Plan is a document where different land uses have been determined and the document basically is dormant until a developer purchases a piece of ground. The Action Plan focuses on areas that are not actively being developed now and the City could possibly initiate development. The City does not need to promote development in areas that have already been purchased by a developer. Infrastructure needs are addressed early to help facilitate something to happen. Mr. Schug said landowners should be shown the potential that their land has with a formal approach. Council Member Bailey said she appreciates the time put into developing the Action Plan from the committee members, Council Member Cordes, Mr. Ludwig and Mr. Schug. She said it shows different options for the City and it is a good basis to start with. Council Member Cordes said he thinks the Comprehensive Plan and the Action Plan should both be continually reviewed and updated.
Ms. Amy Bogaards, 707 Brick Street, Southeast, Bondurant, Iowa, questioned why commercial development is not being promoted as much as residential development is. Mayor McCoid said work is being done right now to bring sewer to the east diagonal corridor, which would allow development for possible strip mall activity. She said the rail spur is more appropriate for heavy industrial and there is an opening on the interstate for heavy commercial. Progress is being made with commercial development and listed 84 Lumber Company, an assisted living facility, a dentist office, a new business that will be located in the vicinity of Cenex-Ampride, and a commercial development in the area of Jerry’s Homes, as examples.
Motion made by Council Member Bailey, seconded by Council Member Cordes, to approve Resolution No. 06-37, a Resolution accepting the Action Development Planning Workbook, with the condition that a transportation infrastructure / corridor study be done before any part of the plan is implemented. Roll Call: Bailey-Yes, Cordes-Yes, Adams-Yes, Kromrie-Yes. Motion carried.
Motion made by Council Member Cordes, seconded by Council Member Bailey, to close the regular City Council meeting and open the Public Hearing to consider Applications for Voluntary
