Elliot, planning staff, said the applicant elected a wider building based on operational experience and to encourage walk-up traffic. Elliot summarized the change and how it related to a neighboring plat issue: “As part of our discussions with them, emphasizing the notion that walk up traffic might be a good thing to accommodate here, they've found that in their business operations, having the wider building is better for having walk up traffic ... The other part is kind of related to the previous item with the plat. ... this kind of a midpoint from where we wanted to end up based on, based on how how the, conversations went with with Hyper and with the adjacent property owner.”

Staff said the design change also resulted from efforts to limit curb cuts; however, because an ingress easement on the adjacent lot in Hughes Century Crossing Plat 10 was not secured, the project’s access is split by a median and the plan was adjusted accordingly. Elliot said city engineer Tony Belizzi gave sign-off on the revised access plan.

Commission discussion included pedestrian safety and sidewalk continuity near the site; one commissioner raised concern about children crossing the road to reach the site and asked whether sidewalk/bike-trail connections north of the site would be completed. Staff agreed to follow up with the city engineer and public works on sidewalk responsibilities and timing.

The motion to approve the site plan was seconded by Commissioner Samuelson; roll call recorded aye votes from Commissioners Forrest, Eaton, Samuelson and Reaganator and the site plan was approved. Staff said the approved plan will proceed to permitting and that construction timing will follow normal processes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Norwalk Planning & Zoning Commission 5.5.2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commission approved a revised site plan for a larger Hyper Energy Bar building (21-foot width) and changes to driveway alignment driven by adjacent plat easement constraints; city engineer signed off on vehicle access changes.","taxTitle","Norwalk City, Warren County, Iowa","taxId",64209,"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},6569051,"Commission approves amended final plat for Hughes Century Crossing Plat 10 to correct easement",440,1360000,1800000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3192683-96b49abf511e85f596f06bc4cf615f87&start=1360&end=1800","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3192683-96b49abf511e85f596f06bc4cf615f87/thumbnail_1360000.jpg","/articles/6569051/Norwalk-City/Warren-County/Iowa/Commission-approves-amended-final-plat-for-Hughes-Century-Crossing-Plat-10-to-correct-easement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6569051-4a5dadd74d4203ef9b96a3791f985138/orig.mp4?Expires=1771133727&Signature=oONiHXKiyuVqGKNaJ8-mJw0HWULnXTA1dhTuFjdARtx0Ngrag1xUMPASmCMifQk7c6tGRHHMxYfv-4hGeCsPul6O6nKzKWMLBwX6d7a5SaNUM-qDpecyX1lXYZr1FWFK6ADP-3jPDuJriL1v3bS-USTqMhcP5yKl6m4swIhZQFGoDW26-4YoiE7FTiw2QA-PexwhdW7HbL-oCVEiirKtOJumRlNpzP2Gj6kd2yiPXse5aNi5pJVlEksesenQhuAdmf3HcCGstBgO2nXkuyWDfb8UyFPsokMkq2rv9YKlXYSyC~8x05szdB8wQmsnV5IWcP4FsnTruzmWAMXfwCVhuA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Norwalk City Planning and Zoning Commission on March 5, 2025, approved an amended final plat for Hughes Century Crossing Plat 10 to address an easement the developer could not legally grant.

Elliot, planning staff, told the commission staff discovered after initial approval that the plat recorded at the county included an ingress easement on the south side of Lot 2 that the property owner did not have authority to grant. Staff sought to return the record to the commission for a corrective amended plat, saying the change is primarily procedural and would accommodate a forthcoming site plan.

An applicant representative present at the meeting said the applicant agreed with staff’s comments and did not oppose the amendment. Commissioners asked no substantive questions and moved to approve the amended final plat. The motion was made by Commissioner Shameless and seconded by Commissioner Morse; the roll call recorded yes votes by Commissioners Samuelson, Forrest, Eaton and Reaganator and the plat amendment passed.

Staff said the amended plat resolves the recorded easement issue and helps accommodate the site plan that follows on the commission’s agenda. The commission’s approval restores the record so the forthcoming site plan can proceed through review and permitting.","Planning commission approved an amended final plat to remove or adjust an easement that developers could not secure; staff called the change procedural and said it accommodates an upcoming site plan.",{"_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},6569055,"Planning commission approves DeJoseph mixed-use site plan on North Avenue",663,809000,1472000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3192683-96b49abf511e85f596f06bc4cf615f87&start=809&end=1472","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3192683-96b49abf511e85f596f06bc4cf615f87/thumbnail_809000.jpg","/articles/6569055/Norwalk-City/Warren-County/Iowa/Planning-commission-approves-DeJoseph-mixed-use-site-plan-on-North-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6569055-59e831b14cc3d7c33f780a1a4ad2e8e0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771133727&Signature=XQEX9KtJn8cak4JXz-h4Yj0V3yIAVsubod9VhoZMYJbFTCSIsCh0TiEwQ~H6GOfiGbHiHOyHNlCmTrMEDpETGSLE45w~vTq9QCGyJgTsBCbWCV9deMuFZM~Is6wSEKu86MZb2Yjf6vsoee4kN4iCsVU7tCt8ekHLf-LUb8Z50N0bsbXsmJK8yPOlnNAWj8uHYqhQYd1QW9k4Sj55XWSl4rnU8YkFLfwsezu4GuLsjfRk7yDTNARu92WyBJFX43lsPyqXmHwF3oceKUVWhCzXcFg3pRZmylP4Pl33VjjljGZxDBuFdgukrT8HIJQxo3kQWuU951ldM63bywERzFQozQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Norwalk City Planning and Zoning Commission approved the site plan for DeJoseph Mixed Use on March 5, 2025, a redevelopment that replaces a single-family lot on the southwest corner of North Avenue and Jackson Street with two ground-floor commercial suites and three apartments above.

Elliot, planning staff, described the project as a conversion of zoning from residential to a main-street mixed-use pattern, saying, “So this site plan is directly across the street from, from Newhall pretty much on the, Southwest Corner Of North Avenue in Jackson. And this is a redevelopment project we had with the zoning that we have to go through a a number of months ago, to go from RF Founders residential to C 4.”

The plan submitted by applicant Christy DeJoseph of NKCC Holdings LLC would locate one of DeJoseph’s businesses in the lower-left commercial suite and leave the other ground-floor suite available to be designed later. Architect Steve Wilke Shapiro of SQL Architecture said the design “genuinely represents a a sort of traditional mixed use development, helps to extend the walkable, walkable district.”

Commission discussion focused on parking, pedestrian access and accessibility. Elliot noted the staff submission included an analysis of nearby on-street parking, and said within a roughly 50-foot radius there are about eight on-street spaces adjacent to the site, including three on Jackson Street. The plan also shows accessible parking at the rear of the lot with an accessible route to the front entries.

Commissioners raised no objections and moved to approve. The motion to approve the site plan was seconded by Commissioner Samuelson; the roll call recorded votes of yes from Commissioners Samuelson, Forrest, Eaton and Reaganator. The motion carried and the site plan was approved.

The approved site plan requires right-of-way improvements: sidewalk installation along the property frontage and access points from the sidewalk to building entrances, as detailed in the staff report. The commission’s approval is for the site plan as presented; construction and any required permits or inspections will follow normal city review processes.","Norwalk City Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve a mixed-use site plan for a parcel on North Avenue that will convert a former single-family lot into two ground-floor commercial suites and three upstairs apartments, with sidewalk and right-of-way improvements.","actionData","errors"]
