® rY J (p )

Legal Description: Attached on proposed plat of survey
Owner: Iowa Farm House Association
Enclosed is a copy of the proposed plat of survey which combines two tracts into one lot.
The existing parcel conforms to the lot size, width, and frontage requirements of the RH
zoning district. The parcels are being combined in order to facilitate the construction of a
garage. Street trees are incomplete for the frontage of this property. The boundary line
adjustment process allows the City to complete public improvements within the frontage of
the subject area. The applicant has agreed to planting one additional street tree north of
the two existing street tree in the Ash Avenue right-of-way.
Pursuant to Section 23.307(4)(c), a preliminary decision of approval for the proposed plat
of survey has been rendered by the Planning & Housing Department, subject to the
following condition:
1. That a street tree be planted in the Ash Avenue right-of-way, of a type approved
by the City of Ames Public Works Department.
1
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 23.307(5),the Council shall render by resolution 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 if the
Council agrees with the Planning & Housing Director's preliminary decision.
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 23.307 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 Director has determined that the proposed plat of survey satisfies
all code requirements, and has accordingly rendered a preliminary decision to approve the
proposed plat of survey.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council act in
accordance with Alternative#1,which is to adopt the resolution approving the proposed
plat of survey. Approval of the resolution will allow the applicant to prepare the official plat
of survey incorporating all conditions of approval specified in the resolution. It will further
allow the prepared plat of survey to be reviewed and signed by the Planning & Housing
Director 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 according to Section 23.307(10), the official plat of survey shall not
be 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.
