Ankeny Developer Asks Lake View To Annex Property Before They Consider Building

The City of Lake View has started making preparation to annex a portion of land near the east shore of Black Hawk Lake. Mayor, John Westergaard, says the area being looked at is already owned by a developer.

An R-3 zoning classifies the plot as a residential area to allow for the new home construction. Bob Terrell Homes Co., based out of Ankeny, is the entity considering development of the area and indicated to the city council those amenities would need to be provided before moving forward. Westergaard says they are very early in the process, and there are many steps that need to be navigated.

The land is essentially lakefront property with only Shore Drive separating it from the water. Westergaard says it is highly unlikely any work could begin this year, and next summer is the earliest possible time any construction could begin.
