BACKGROUND:
In 1953, the City acquired a water main easement described as "beginning at the SW
corner of Lot 10, Block 4, Kingsbury Addition to Ames, Iowa, thence north 15'; thence
east 280'; thence south 15'; thence west 280' to the point of beginning. This easement
and water main exists under the proposed new car wash building that is being
constructed north of Jiffy Lube. In order to construct the building, the water main is
being relocated to an area between the car wash and Jiffy Lube by the developer. A
new easement has been acquired covering the water main's new location.
The owner has requested that the City vacate the original easement and staff agrees
that the east 270' of the easement can be released. The west 10' of the easement has
to remain for City crews to maintain a fire hydrant that is being installed.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve the vacation
of the east 270' of the water main easement that crosses Lots 9 and 10 of Block 4,
Kingsbury Addition, Ames, Iowa.
