COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY — NE '/4 SECTION 29-84-24
BACKGROUND:
Application for a proposed plat of survey has been submitted for:
® Conveyance parcel (per Section 23.307)
® Boundary line adjustment (per Section 23.309)
❑ Re-plat to correct error (per Section 23.310)
❑ Auditor's plat (per Code of Iowa Section 354.15)
The subject site is located at:
Street Address: 3601 and 3699 George Washington Carver Road (in
unincorporated Story County)
Assessor's Parcel #: 0529200460, 0529200410, 0529200210, 0529200305
Legal Description: Four parcels in the NE '/4 of Section 29, Township 84 North,
Range 24 West of the 5t" P.M., Story County
Owner: James Athen Revocable Trust I and Phyllis Athen Revocable Trust
A copy of the proposed plat of survey is attached for Council consideration. The
proposed plat combines three parcels into a single parcel and creates another
parcel from a conveyance parcel. On March 6, 2012, the City Council referred a
request to consider these parcels for an Urban Fringe Amendment that may lead
to annexation. This plat of survey is independent of that request.
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, subject to the
following conditions:
1. None
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.
1
❑ 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 will 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.
