COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: ABANDONMENT OF STORM SEWER EASEMENT ACROSS ASGROW
SEEDS
BACKGROUND:
A storm sewer easement was acquired across Asgrow Seeds for the South Duff Area
Storm Sewer. This easement was on South Borne Avenue alignment from Squaw
Creek to South Second Street.
Staff became aware of a commercial development proposal that may occur just west of
Asgrow Seeds. Staff realized there were advantages to relocating the South Duff Area
Storm Sewer west of Asgrow Seeds and approached the other area property owners,
Asgrow Seeds, and developers about the advantages of moving the storm sewer.
A map is attached showing the original route and the actual route of the relocated storm
sewer. Asgrow Seeds is very happy that the storm sewer could be moved and the
other owners desired that the storm sewer be placed across their properties. Staff has
acquired new easements from Asgrow Seeds and the other property owners for the
relocated storm sewer.
Since the original easement following the alignment of South Borne Avenue extended is
no longer needed, it is appropriate to abandon this easement. This easement is
recorded as instrument #96-11161 and 96-11161(2) at the Story County Recorders
Office. The easement to be abandoned is described as follows:
Th,e west twenty-five (25) feet of the east half (E1/2) of the northeast quarter (NEIA),
except the north 429.5 feet thereof, in Section 11, T83N R24W of the 5th P.M., and
except a tract in the southeast quarter (SE'/4) of the northeast quarter (NEIA) of said
Section 11, owned by the City of Ames and recorded in the Story County Recorder's
Office on March 4, 1986, in Book 227, Page 38; and the west twenty-five (25) feet of
the northeast quarter (NE'/4) of the southeast quarter (SE'/4), lying north of Squaw
Creek, in said Section 11, all in Story County, Iowa.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council abandon the storm
sewer easement across Asgrow Seeds recorded as instrument #96-11161 and 96-
11161(2) in the Story County Recorder's Office.
