Home My WebLink AboutA002 - Council Action Form dated September 11, 2012 ITEM # 36 DATE: 09-11-12 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: ALLEY VACATION —AMES PUBLIC LIBRARY BACKGROUND: As part of the Ames Public Library expansion project, it was determined that the project needs an area at the south end of the north/south alley between Kellogg Avenue and Douglas Avenue on the west side of the library in order to construct a new Bookmobile facility. Public Works staff has contacted all registered right-of-way users to determine the extent of the utilities in the immediate area and has received responses back from all users. There are three known utilities in the area that will need to be relocated as a part of the project. The southern portion of the public alley must be vacated in order to accommodate the Bookmobile garage. With the vacation of this portion of the alley, there will be a need to maintain the flow of traffic, which entails creating a new portion of right-of-way. This need was anticipated as part of the Development Agreement with the First United Methodist Church, and the church has agreed to provide an access easement for public traffic to flow over a portion of their lot. Traffic will then continue south over a new parcel created from the existing lot that contains City Parking Lot S. The attached maps provide more information on the affected areas. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the proposal to vacate the south end of the north/south alley between Kellogg Avenue and Douglas Avenue and set the date of public hearing for September 25, 2012. 2. Direct staff to pursue other options. MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: By approving this alley vacation, the Library Expansion project will be allowed to remain on schedule for anticipated construction in 2013. Council will be asked to take action in the future on the additional right-of-way and the easement on the church property. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, thereby approving the alley vacation and setting the date of public hearing for September 25, 2012. 1 PREPARED BY-CLAPSADDLE-GARBER ASSOCIATES INC 16 EAST MAIN STREET P.O.BOX 754 MARSHALLTOWN IOWA 50158-PHONE 641-752-6701 ALLEY PLAT OF SURVEY 6TH STREET (66'ROW) (teo7 llea) i.-- peg ELEC EASEGIENTL-15' LOT f0 S _ LOT 1 __ n____ __________ (18a) (t8al 591 g` LOT 2 LOT 9 Op9 OD `� 0 6 011� --- ---------------- '�---------(iaaj 4 ------------------� (teal ~ ` FOUND MAO NAIL LOT 3 LOT 8 3 to ALLEY Q' O (teD1 ___te ---- o _____ _____` 1 :n U ---�----------------------------------- N O ~ i � i ti LOT 7 I^ 3 LOT 4 N08°53'46"E _ q ' CUT'W IN 1 B.00' CUr'x"OVER PAVER BRICK BROKEN PKNAIL (571 I ___��-____ ---� ------�-----r------- pia) ___fin—____.-_____________________ I I LOT 5 8 A LOT 6 m t CLIT W IN �PAVER sw Co ner Lal 6 Q IN � BIDtk 8,Original Town CUr •'(161 (501 ' (1�) (180.ea) AREA 0.029 AC(1,242 SF) S8W53'46"W J POINT OF BEOaJNINO 5TH STREET (70'ROW) 18.00' LEGEND: AL GOVERNMENT CORNER MONUMENT FOUND p GOVERNMENT CORNER MONUMENT SET 1/2"x 30'REBAR WORANGE PLASTIC ID CAP#17162 • PARCEL OR LOT CORNEA MONUMENT FOUND DESCRIPTION SEEATTACHED O SET 1IT x 30'REBAR w/ORANGE PLASTIC ID CAP#17162 OWNERS OF RECORD: CITY OF AMES i {) RECORDED AS SURVEY REQUESTED BY:AMES PUBLIC LIBRARY FIELD WORK COMPLETED:5/212012 ALLEY PLAT OF SURVEY IN BLOCK 8,ORIGINAL TOWN OF AMES N CITY OF AMES,STORY COUNTY,IOWA 1 hereby certify that this land surveying document was prepared \S R.
