The City Council of Webster City will be asked this evening to approve a proposed residential development that would add 218 housing units over the next three years.

The council meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the council chambers of City Hall, 400 Second Street, Webster City.

The applicant, Kading Properties, of Urbandale, wants to construct a Planned Residential

Unit in the area west of Lynx Avenue and north of Wall Street.

The Webster City Planning and Zoning Commission approved the plan during a special meeting on December 18 at City Hall.

According to the council packet that accompanies the agenda, the construction would follow this proposed development schedule:

Phase 1: 2025-2026;

Phase 2: 2026-2027;

Phase 3: 2027-2028.

The planned development would include:

— Two-story six-plex townhomes: Two buildings (12 units)

— Single-story six-plex: 21 buildings (126 units)

— Single-story four-plex: 14 buildings (56 units)

— Single-story bi-attached: 12 buildings (24 units)

“The proposal adds 218 housing units through 2028 to help meet the housing needs identified in the 2021 Housing Study,” the council packet states.

“All infrastructure is proposed to be private other than water main, valves, and fire hydrants, and electric service. The Fire Department would like to see additional fire

hydrants located throughout the site.”

The packet also includes the following recommended conditions of approval:

“Public street and sidewalk access as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan.

“Consider including a larger public park area to align with recommendations in the

Comprehensive Plan for a neighborhood level park in the western growth area.”
