COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: ABANDONING A UTILITY EASEMENT DESCRIBED AS THE EAST 10
FEET OF THE WEST 205 FEET OF LOT 2 O'ROURKE SUBDIVISION, AMES,
STORY COUNTY, IOWA
BACKGROUND:
Steve O'Rourke has requested that the City abandon the utility easement that exists
over the east 10 feet of the west 205 feet of Lot 2 O'Rourke Subdivision.
This easement was given to the City and other utility companies in 1995 in anticipation
that a water line and electric lines would be extended to mini-storage buildings Mr.
O'Rourke planned to construct on his property.
Mr. O'Rourke did not complete the mini-storage project and the City has no need for this
particular utility easement.
Staff has determined that there are no utilities located in the utility easement and does
not object to abandoning this utility easement.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Grant the request and abandon the utility easement in the east 10 feet of the
west 205 feet of Lot 2 O'Rourke Subdivision Ames, Story County, Iowa.
2. Reject the request.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council abandon the utility
easement in the east 10 feet of the west 205 feet of Lot 2 O'Rourke Subdivision Ames,
Story County, Iowa.
