AMES CITY PLAN COMMISSION
NOVEMBER 10, 1971
REZONING REQUEST: From "A-l" and "R-1 " to "R-2" and "R-3."
LOCATION: Southwest corner of West Lincoln Way and South
Dakota Avenue.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: The North Half of the Northeast Quarter (N-1/2 NE-1/4)
of Section 7, Township 83 North, Tange 24 West of the
5th P.M. , Story County, Iowa, subject to roads and
highways.
BY: Erben A. Hunziker and Donald M. Furman.
HISTORY: The northeast fourteen acres were requested for
rezoning to "C-3," Highway Commercial District, by
James H. Anderson, at the July 16, 1971 , meeting;
the request was denied by both the Commission and
Council .
COMPREHENSIVE The Comprehensive Plan designates the area as a combin-
PLAN REFERENCE: ation of low-density and medium-density residential .
REPORT: The request for rezoning is as shown on the proposed
plat of the area. This reference is due to the fact
that the tract cannot be platted unless proper zoning
is obtained. The rezoning then is in relation to the
outlined streets and lot lines. Upon zoning approval , the developer would be
directed to proceed with platting.
The over-all layout is proper and has undergone many modifications since the
original was submitted to the Planning office.
The "protected waterway" transversing the tract is as approved in concept by
the Commission at a recent joint meeting with the Park Board. A letter from the
Park Board stating approval is attached.
It is the recommendation of the staff that the request as presented on the
proposed plat be approved and so recommended to City Council , and upon approval
the developer be directed to proceed with platting.
