RESOLUTION APPROVING ELECTRIC UTILITY
EASEMENTS FOR SERVICE TO CY-TOWN
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, Iowa State University(ISU) is developing a mixed-use entertainment district
called CY-Town,located between Jack Trice Stadium and the Iowa State Center facilities adjacent
Lincoln Way. Most of the existing facilities within this area are retail customers of the City's
electric utility. It is anticipated that the developments that are constructed in the CY-Town project
will also become retail customers of the City's electric utility; and,
WHEREAS, it is planned that four separate electric distribution routes will serve this area.
Two of the lines will connect to CY-Town from the Vet Med Substation, and two will connect
from the Mortensen Road Substation. This redundancy provides for the area to be served even in
the event of a fault or maintenance at either substation or on either of the lines connecting each
substation to CY-Town; and,
WHEREAS, several of the electric lines that will serve CY-Town are already in place,
although portions of them that cross ISU property are not in recorded easements. Following
discussions with ISU staff, easement documents have been prepared that address five specific
locations: east of University Boulevard, between S. 4th Street and Vet Med Substation; south side
of S. 41h Street,between Beach Avenue and University Boulevard;Mortensen Road,between State
Avenue and Welch Avenue; Vet Med Substation; and north side of US Highway 30, between
University Boulevard and Vet Med Substation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that Electric Utility Easements on State of Iowa property in order to provide normal and backup
service to CY-Town as well as other ISU electric load in the vicinity are hereby approved.
