Staff presented project details and recommended moving forward; council members voted to approve both the plans/specifications resolution and the contract award.

Staff described the project scope as construction of approximately 3,300 linear feet of sanitary sewer, primarily 24-inch diameter, including manholes, excavation, backfill, surface restoration and one directional boring under T Avenue. The project exhibit in council materials shows the work located west and east of T Avenue and south of 300 Eleventh Street. The project was included in the city’s capital improvement program with a total budget of $2,400,000, of which $400,000 was budgeted in the adopted FY25–29 CIP and the remaining $2,000,000 appears in the draft FY26–30 CIP.

Staff reported an interim completion milestone for sanitary installation, testing and operation by November (staff did not specify the year) and a final completion date for remaining work by May 2026. On March 11 the city received six bids; the engineer’s estimate had been $2,000,000 and the apparent low bid was $1,179,000 from SM Hentges and Sons Inc of Jordan, Minnesota. Staff and the city’s engineer reviewed the bid and recommended awarding the contract to SM Hentges and Sons Inc. Council approved the award.

The contract award and plans approval advance the project toward construction and will be followed by standard contract execution, bonding and permitting steps. Staff noted prior experience working with the contractor on earlier sewer projects.","The council approved plans and specifications for the West Area Trunk Sewer Extension Phase 3 and awarded the construction contract to SM Hentges and Sons Inc for $1,179,000; the project includes approximately 3,300 linear feet of mostly 24-inch sanitary sewer and one directional bore under T Avenue.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6114498,"Waukee council approves development agreement, TIF rebate and site plan for downtown 420–430 Sixth Street project",141,272000,413000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2743296-d52af56d8f7822f8af714739a9632954&start=272&end=413","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2743296-d52af56d8f7822f8af714739a9632954/thumbnail_272000.jpg","/articles/6114498/Waukee-City/Dallas-County/Iowa/Waukee-council-approves-development-agreement-TIF-rebate-and-site-plan-for-downtown-420430-Sixth-Street-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6114498-e3bf6ba88e5b4d0749f8fec3da75c5c3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770412834&Signature=AvZvd-~681rA0AD-c0Zb4~XH03P0N-PNpg75vSW~lyOu6-SI62LKZk653FUGj0S-K5~i0qkNRsVp8O6hTnblHqwzGYwGcJmKMGjNuHlZaV0HtPGsSZHgrHVdyYd7CblXnp0brtQyDhHMHouQDb5na~PEJQXe7AosA6lyIB1k~gT5XpTiwbqcmAhg-mXd4cTk05rkTw~RSGhSROblsrlTiNqCx6nlF6CxdF8WonuG1K8Fn1ldz13AajlWLucmwokMVkV5ErH2KOXkoIv1UOwRd8jFqrsIXrlKX4cAE4dFfjxbMioejuPQgtnauPxZg5CWnjNCf8pTc-pX6XvIYQZHsQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waukee City Council voted to approve a development agreement with SJC Properties LLC and related plat and site plan approvals for a proposed downtown project at 420 and 430 Sixth Street. Director Brown presented the project and staff recommended holding the public hearing and approving the agreement; the developer was not present.

Under the agreement, staff said the minimum required investment for the project is $3,000,000 and the property’s taxable valuation is expected to increase from approximately $151,000 to roughly $2,500,000. The proposed incentives include a 10-year annual property tax rebate equal to 70% of the tax increment generated, with a maximum total rebate not to exceed $475,000. The package also includes a $30,000 design and engineering grant that will be deducted from the rebate in years 1 and 2. Staff described additional terms intended to prioritize locally owned businesses and stable lease rates: at least 40% of leasable space must be allocated with priority given to independently owned businesses (the policy could apply to independently owned franchise operators), and at least 75% of leasable space must remain at or below Waukee’s current average retail lease rate.

The project proposes a roughly 6,250-square-foot, two-story building with ground-floor retail and upper-floor service/office space in the downtown village district; the site would combine three lots into one 0.23-acre lot with limited on-site parking and alley access. Staff stated the project would create new taxable valuation and could be transformational for downtown. Planning staff and council members voted to approve the development agreement, preliminary and final plats, and the site plan.

The council record shows no written correspondence received by the clerk’s office before the hearing and that the developer expressed gratitude for council consideration in a written note but did not attend the meeting. The agreement and site plan approvals will proceed to implementation steps, including execution of the development agreement and any building and permitting approvals required by the city.","The council approved a development agreement with SJC Properties LLC for a two-story, mixed-use downtown project at 420–430 Sixth Street including a 10-year, 70% tax-increment rebate capped at $475,000 and a $30,000 design grant to be deducted from the rebate.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6114503,"Waukee council approves long-range civic campus master plan including 30-acre recreational lake",246,1417000,1663000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2743296-d52af56d8f7822f8af714739a9632954&start=1417&end=1663","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2743296-d52af56d8f7822f8af714739a9632954/thumbnail_1417000.jpg","/articles/6114503/Waukee-City/Dallas-County/Iowa/Waukee-council-approves-long-range-civic-campus-master-plan-including-30-acre-recreational-lake","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6114503-9f662f33f33dd4d9e92127007c2bb90d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770412834&Signature=OByEU5dBmGjXtmadfhWz9~XCRbwBm2hh7CcYFRXKl-7v6rBm3F6Owvjfjd-VFoiHd81YCzUtDHfMTh4iyf-mzXniMsFqAIZFilo1fMLgKftrDCsvSKtj53lnL67ELrtWh9wh1qSzFgVwsP3nthGfoeEtq-65O92DQH9g~kJFA-AXA25~R1nKe3iD-4YRpVafMStRr2km4Fl3KF4MyPDYZSthVSVWMBNMFIRNY3~DmscrJiFhbhUDYbdfg12kWS-jJ~5RgT~-oGzjDssUxxsaYNk8Y~GJN7i4CtL2t4-k5FlYr215mjDQhSAq9icVnS4ljzjQGd5y11oR56UM2hiyuA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waukee City Council approved a resolution adopting a civic campus master plan that lays out a 20-to-30-year vision for city-owned property south of the Public Works building and west of Sugar Creek Municipal Golf Course. Brad, a city staff presenter, described the plan and staff recommended approval.

The plan provides a long-term framework for public amenities, private development, and infrastructure intended to support future growth. Council members voted in favor of the resolution.

According to staff, the plan’s public amenities include a roughly 30-acre recreational lake intended for activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing, large park and open space areas, a covered pavilion, and two building pads identified for possible future public buildings (described as potential sites for a city hall and a library). The plan also shows potential expansion of Sugar Creek Municipal Golf Course and a long-term concept for a competition-recreation facility at the property’s southwest corner. Street extensions shown on the plan include an extension of University Avenue along the north end of the site and an extension of Tenth Street that would ultimately connect to the Interstate 80 interchange.

Staff and consultants told council the plan is intended as a vision rather than a guaranteed build-out; implementation would be phased and tied to funding and other priorities. City staff said several roadway projects associated with the plan are already in the capital improvements program and could begin in the next three to five years; staff also said the lake portion of the project is estimated to be built in about three years as part of one of those road projects. The presentation noted private development on the property could create additional tax base and help fund public amenities.

Planning and Zoning Commission review and a staff recommendation preceded the council vote. Council members present voted to approve the master plan; the minutes record four affirmative votes from the members present.

The plan will guide future budgeting and project-specific approvals; the council and staff emphasized it is a long-range vision that will be refined as projects move into design and funding phases.","The Waukee City Council approved a 20–30 year civic campus master plan that envisions a roughly 30-acre recreational lake, public building pads for a city hall and library, expanded park space and road extensions; staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval.","actionData","errors"]
