The council approved preliminary plats and construction drawings for Kettlestone Lakes Plat 1 and Kettlestone Lakes Commercial Plat 1, including plans for street and utility extensions, trails and stormwater detention; approvals included preliminary plats, construction drawings and final plats or site plans where noted. Council members also approved the preliminary plat and construction drawings for Painted Woods Spectrum (Painted Woods Development LC) and the Edgeland Waukee Plat 1 development (Indie Run West LLC / Erickson Balmer Construction), which includes 24 townhome units and associated common-area outlots.

A multi-part consent agenda passed in two sections; one member announced an abstention on consent part 2 due to a professional conflict (the transcript did not specify which agenda item concerned the conflict). The council approved a resolution introducing an ordinance to amend chapter 27 (Sugar Creek Municipal Golf Course) to expand the prohibition on alcoholic beverages to the golf course premises, including the parking lot, and to revise listed concession offerings; that measure was introduced and passed on first reading.

The council also passed an ordinance to replace chapter 28 governing Triumph Park, taking second and third readings and placing the ordinance on final passage in the same meeting.

Other approvals included site-plan approval for 3150 Grand Prairie Parkway, construction drawings and site plans associated with the various Kettlestone Lakes developments, and approvals for parking, trail and right-of-way improvements referenced in multiple development presentations. The presentations identified public improvements such as a roundabout at the intersection of Southeast Kettlestone Boulevard and Southeast Parkview Crossing Drive, 10-foot-wide trails along key corridors, and stormwater basins to serve new developments.

The council then moved into a closed session under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(j) to discuss the purchase or sale of particular real estate where disclosure could affect the price; the meeting was muted for closed session and reopened later for adjournment.

Votes at a glance (items recorded on the March 4 agenda):
- Resolution approving plan specifications for Alice’s Road Improvements Phase 1A — approved (see separate article).
- Resolution concurring with Clive’s contract award to Concrete Technologies (Alice’s Road Phase 1A) — approved (see separate article).
- Consent Agenda Part 1 — approved (recorded yes votes listed in transcript).
- Consent Agenda Part 2 — approved with one abstention recorded due to a professional conflict (member not specified in the record).
- Ordinance (intro/first reading) to amend Chapter 27, Sugar Creek Municipal Golf Course (concession area and restrictions) — introduced and approved on first reading.
- Ordinance to repeal and replace Chapter 28 (Triumph Park) — second and third readings waived; placed on final passage and approved.
- Kettlestone Lakes Plat 1 — preliminary plat approved; construction drawings approved.

- Edgeland Waukee Plat 1 (Indie Run West LLC) — preliminary plat, final plat and site plan approved; project includes 24 townhome units and associated outlots.

Many items received little or no public comment at the meeting and passed on recorded roll-call votes following staff presentations. Presenters repeatedly recommended approval and staff answered routine questions about site layout, stormwater detention locations, landscaping, trail widths and utility ownership.

The meeting closed for a recorded, statutorily authorized closed session to discuss real-estate negotiations under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(j). The council reconvened briefly to adjourn in open session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Waukee City Council Meeting February 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its March 4 meeting the council approved multiple preliminary plats, construction drawings, final plats and site plans, moved ordinances for Sugar Creek Municipal Golf Course and Triumph Park, and placed several development items on final passage or approval.","taxTitle","Waukee City, Dallas County, Iowa","taxId",68499,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6316181,"Waukee council approves plans, concurs with low bid for Alice’s Road Phase 1A",217,162000,379000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2377402-fafae1d3ec59210ebecc5c8db857f67e&start=162&end=379","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2377402-fafae1d3ec59210ebecc5c8db857f67e/thumbnail_162000.jpg","/articles/6316181/Waukee-City/Dallas-County/Iowa/Waukee-council-approves-plans-concurs-with-low-bid-for-Alices-Road-Phase-1A","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6316181-0cdb467ed2edb742155045ce23363190/orig.mp4?Expires=1775711964&Signature=Q6E-oxwmKTjnzSTodKkSwMPNv~LwS16Q3zJtLJ4F~qQlDGS3-7prCqqYZ~GgQbByuQQJO3E-k2K7Q0~bk-jgSLiwPeirFVv4XgKFLgqK3Wb0KkAxJtGWCWO2Jy0x3DogLRWXvwPtqxvPsUIXJVwl788L5AJPk896TZpX-YXdhFhg~hwhayl-wsgwurYbEhEwbRYZqab6UpV6VIQl7g-WCwmbhCfhyIcS37Gte9IbXNXSWKBQheLNDIGPd3olbZgU3dPiI~EWzJ1nYL2BhNhXmJhbHNdSkD-G8rNGllP4m5xulRJJ71cMxqMrFFIh93IjO0x-k~K18m2ceOYysY3NbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waukee City Council on March 4 approved plan specifications and concurred with a contract award for the Alice’s Road Improvements Phase 1A project, a joint reconstruction project led by the city of Clive.

At a public hearing, Director Koester told the council the project would reconstruct Alice’s Road from Northeast Horizon Drive to just south of Northeast Yalwood Drive, expanding the roadway from a two-lane rural section to a four-lane boulevard and adding trail and sidewalk paving, a joint utility trench, storm sewer work, water main construction and pavement markings. Koester said the total project cost estimate is $6,000,000 and that Waukee’s share is approximately $3,000,000, which is included in the city’s draft capital improvement plan.

The project schedule presented at the hearing called for tree felling this spring and an opening to traffic targeted for October, with some restoration and turf establishment work likely extending into spring 2026, Koester said. He recommended the council hold the public hearing and approve the resolution establishing plan specifications, form of contract and estimate of cost.

Following the public hearing, the council approved the resolution establishing plan specifications and the estimate of cost. The council then voted to concur with Clive’s recommendation to award the construction contract to Concrete Technologies of Grimes, Iowa, the apparent low bidder. Staff reported Clive received 11 general contractor bids on Feb. 4; the city’s engineer estimate was $5,800,000 and the low bid from Concrete Technologies was $4,294,120.31, roughly 27% below the engineer’s estimate.

Council voting on the concurrence resolution was recorded as: Council member Sinclair — Yes; Council member Crone — Yes; Council member Battenberg — Yes; Council member Grove — Yes; Council member Pierce — No. Staff told the council that Clive had already recommended awarding the contract and that Waukee was being asked to concur with that award.

Director Koester and staff reiterated that construction, public-works and utility extensions are included in the contract scope; the council did not direct any amendment to the contract award. No written correspondence had been received by the city clerk on the public hearing item.

The council’s formal approval of the plan specifications and concurrence with Clive’s award clears the way for the contracted work to begin according to the Clive-Waukee project schedule. The timeline presented anticipates substantial completion and opening to traffic in October, with some restoration work into the following spring.","After a public hearing, the Waukee City Council approved plan specifications and concurred with Clive’s contract award to Concrete Technologies for reconstruction of Alice’s Road; the total project estimate is $6 million with Waukee’s draft CIP showing a $3 million share.","actionData","errors"]
