DATE: 12-10-13
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 505 SOUTH DUFF AVENUE
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 site is located at:
Owner: Nancy S. Bundy
Street Address: 505 S. Duff Avenue (See Attachment A)
Assessor's Parcel #: 0911176005; 0911176020; and 0911176055
Legal Description: Lots 14, Cayler's Second Addition; Parcel "AW"; and an
unplatted parcel.
This plat of survey consolidates three parcels into a single parcel (Parcel AX). One
of the existing parcels contains the Texas Roadhouse. The combined lot will likely
be the home of future commercial development in addition to the Texas Roadhouse.
A copy of the proposed plat of survey is attached for Council consideration. (See
Attachment B, Proposed Plat of Survey)
The plat also creates two new easements: a 6-foot pedestrian easement along the north
lot line and a 10-foot electric easement along the east property line.
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 that the proposed
lots meet zoning standards, e.g. lot area, width, depth and access.
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 23.308(5), the Council renders 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,
subject to receipt of the signed pedestrian and electrical easements to the City.
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 23.308 have not been
satisfied.
3. The City Council can refer this back to staff and/or the owner for additional information.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Planning & Housing Department has determined that the proposed plat of survey
satisfies all code requirements and has rendered a preliminary decision to approve the
proposed plat of survey. The easements have been requested to serve specific needs of
the City. The 6-foot pedestrian easement is needed to accommodate a future
sidewalk when the additional lane of S. 5t" Street is constructed. The 10-foot electric
easement protects the existing overhead line on the west side of S. Duff Avenue.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council accept
Alternative #1, thereby adopting the resolutions approving the proposed plat of
survey subject to receipt of the signed pedestrian and electrical easements.
Approval of the resolution will allow the applicant to prepare the official plat of survey, and
the Planning & Housing Director to review and sign the plat of survey 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 the official plat of survey is not 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.
