Staff has requested the property owner provide an emergency vehicle access easement along the south property line for mid-block access to multiple properties. A copy of the proposed plat of survey is attached for Council consideration. Pursuant to Section 23.308(4)(c), a preliminary decision of approval for the proposed plat or survey has been rendered by the Planning & Housing Department that the proposed lots meet zoning standards, e.g. lot area, width, depth and access. The requested access easement meets the access needs articulated within the Zoning Code for development within Campustown Service Center. The easement would provide for emergency vehicle access off of Welch Avenue along the south property line for a distance of approximately 140 feet. The easement would not interfere with the potential addition of a parking deck accessed from Stanton. The requested easement is a condition of approval of the plat of survey that is to be provided to the City prior to recordation of the plat. The preliminary decision of approval requires all public improvements associated with and required for the proposed plat of survey be: ❑ Installed prior to creation and recordation of the official plat of survey and prior to issuance of zoning or building permits. ❑ Delayed, subject to an improvement guarantee as described in Section 23.409. ® Not Applicable. Under Section 23.308(5), the Council renders a final decision of approval if the Council agrees with the Planning & Housing Director's preliminary decision. ALTERNATIVES: 1 . The City Council can adopt the resolution approving the proposed plat of survey subject to receipt by the City of the signed easement for an emergency access. 2. The City Council can deny the proposed plat of survey if the City Council finds that the requirements for plats of survey as described in Section 23.308 have not been satisfied. 3. The City Council can refer this back to staff and/or the owner for additional information. MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Planning & Housing Department has determined that the proposed plat of survey satisfies all code requirements and has rendered a preliminary decision to approve the proposed plat of survey with the proposed condition of approval for the access easement. The easement ensures there is emergency access available to meet public safety needs for the subject site as well as to surrounding sites upon redevelopment of the subject site. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council accept 2 Alternative #1, thereby adopting the resolution approving the proposed plat of survey subject to receipt of the signed easement. Approval of the resolution will allow the applicant to prepare the official plat of survey, and the Planning & Housing Director to review and sign the plat of survey confirming that it fully conforms to all conditions of approval. Once signed by the Planning & Housing Director, the prepared plat of survey may then be signed by the surveyor, making it the official plat of survey, which may then be recorded in the office of the County Recorder. It should be noted that the official plat of survey is not recognized as a binding plat of survey for permitting purposes until a copy of the signed and recorded plat of survey is filed with the Ames City Clerk's office and a digital image in Adobe PDF format has been submitted to the Planning & Housing Department. 3 ATTACHMENT A Y LINCULMWAY LINCOLN WAY LINCOLN:W_' T4 ///i ` Subject ; PropertyFla 1 OR �. 1 _ + CHAMBERLAIN ST �, CHAMBERLAIN ST Z. rr UJI R ■ i j 5 a. f. -J a O LOCATION MAP 2400 Block Lincoln Way 4 ATTACHMENT B— EXISTING CONDITIONS fly sF i . u IFSP WELCH AVE (fib'mGHf-aF-WIr) r 4 • � , g �JA'� 8� 0 �49 0 � i-oNP �'e 4 5 0 d .
