Storage space in Westgate Business Park goes back to the drawing board
The Waukee Planning and Zoning Commission rejected a site plan for 12,500 square feet of storage space at Westgate Business Park on April 22.
The plan called for two storage buildings at the corner of Southeast Olson Drive and Alice’s Road, one encompassing 7,500 square feet and the other 5,000 square feet. The commission requested the owner to revisit the exterior appearance of the building and said that it needs more information on how the units will be leased.
Jeff Davis of Davis Realty LLC, owner of the project, said he hopes to attract customers who want to store recreational vehicles, boats, car collections or other high-end items. Together, the two buildings will offer nine bays varying in size from 1,250 to 1,750 square feet. Davis said if the site plan is approved by the city, the project will be completed by this fall.
The two buildings will cost an estimated $1 million.
