DATE: 02-11-14
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 633 181" STREET, 1916 GRAND AVENUE, AND
1924 GRAND AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
The City's subdivision regulations are included in Chapter 23 of the Ames Municipal Code.
This Subdivision Code includes the process for creating or modifying property boundaries,
and specifies whether any improvements are required in conjunction with the platting of
property. The City also uses the Subdivision Code as means of reviewing the status of
conveyance parcels, which are non-conforming lots created through a private conveyance
of land, to determine if the lot is indeed a buildable lot. A Plat of Survey is a single-step
review within Section 23.308 for City Council approval of minor activities, such as
boundary line adjustments and conformance determination of conveyance parcels.
The properties at 633 18t" Street, 1916 Grand Avenue, and 1924 Grand Avenue were
originally platted as four lots for single-family homes (see Attachment A). In 2009, the
southern two lots were combined through a plat of survey. The proposed plat of survey
(see Attachment B) is adjusting the boundary line of the four original platted lots to
create three parcels of similar size. The northern parcel and the southern parcel contain
an existing single family home on each lot. The middle parcel is vacant and is being
marketed for sale for construction of a new single-family home. No public improvements
are required with the proposed plat of survey.
The proposed middle parcel contains an accessory structure. This will need to be
relocated to the southern or northern lot or removed prior to releasing the plat of survey for
recording. Zoning regulations do not allow an accessory structure without a principal
building on the lot.
Approval of the resolution will allow the applicant to prepare the official plat of survey, after
which the Planning and Housing Director can review and sign the plat, confirming that it
fully conforms to all conditions of approval. The prepared plat of survey may then be
signed by the surveyor and recorded in the office of the County Recorder.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can adopt a resolution approving the proposed plat of survey subject
to removal of the accessory building the middle parcel.
2. The City Council can deny the proposed plat of survey if 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:
Staff has determined that the proposed plat of survey satisfies all Subdivision Code
requirements and has rendered a preliminary approval.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council accept
Alternative #1, thereby adopting a resolution approving the proposed plat of survey subject
to removal of the accessory building the middle parcel.
