COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: VACATION OF AN ACCESS EASEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY. OF
AMES AND SCOTT E. RANDALL AND JANE S. RANDALL ON THE
WEST 20 FEET OF OUTLOT B, ASPEN BUSINESS PARK
SUBDIVISION, FIRST ADDITION.
BACKGROUND:
In 1994 the property owner of Outlot B, Aspen Business Park Subdivision granted an
access easement to the City along the entire length of Outot B, to allow the City to
maintain a billboard if the property owner failed to do so. This site in now proposed for
development. The lot layout and proposed development for Aspen Business Park
Subdivision, Third Addition no longer requires an easement of such size. The property
owner will have access to the billboard from the proposed Lot 2, Aspen Business Park
Subdivision, Third Addition.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Set the date of public hearing as April 25, 2017, to approve the vacation of the
accesses easement on the west 20 feet of Outlot B, Aspen Business Park
Subdivision, First Addition.
2. Choose not purse the vacation of the accesses easement on the west 20 feet of
Outlot B, Aspen Business Park Subdivision, First Addition.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Vacation of the existing access easement will allow the proposed development to occur
without encroachment into the easement. The City does not have a need to continue
this access easement as billboard maintenance is not the responsibility of the City.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, thereby setting the date of public hearing as April 25, 2017, to
approve the vacation of the accesses easement on the west 20 feet of Outlot B, Aspen
Business Park Subdivision, First Addition.
