DATE: 05/13/14
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 300,306 &312 ABRAHAM DRIVE
BACKGROUND:
Subdivision regulations for the City of Ames are part of Chapter 23 of the Ames Municipal
Code. The Subdivision Code includes the process for creating or modifying property
boundaries and for determining if 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 proposed Plat of Survey adjusts the boundary lines between the three existing
platted lots. The subject properties are located at 300, 306 and 312 Abraham Drive
(See Attachment A - Location Map). The three properties are zoned as "RL"
(Residential Low Density). The boundary line that separates Lots 9 and 10, is shifted
16.37 feet to the north. The boundary line, that separates Lots 8 and 9, is shifted 9.18
feet to the south (See Attachment B — Sketch of Existing Parcels). This results in
changing the number of square feet of land area in each parcel (See Attachment C -
Proposed Plat of Survey). All three of the new parcels meet the minimum required
lot area of 6,000 square feet in the "RL" zone.
The subject lots front upon Abraham Drive, a paved residential street with curb and gutter.
There are no sidewalks present along Abraham Drive. In this instance, since there are no
partial sidewalk improvements along the frontage of the lots and there are no sidewalk
connections on the abutting lots. A Plat of Survey does not require new improvements to
be installed if there are not partially existing facilities on a site. Therefore, a request for
street improvements is not included with the Plat of Survey.
Approval of this plat of survey will allow the applicant to prepare the official plat of survey,
and the Planning and Housing Director to review and sign the plat of survey confirming
that it fully conforms to all conditions of approval. 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.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can adopt the resolution approving the proposed plat of survey.
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.
1
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 code requirements and
has made a preliminary decision of approval. No conditions are required. Therefore, it is
the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council accept Alternative #1,
thereby adopting the resolution approving the proposed plat of survey.

Surveyor's Report:
The owner of Lots 8,9 and 10,except the West 20 feet thereof,in Block 2 of H.C.
Nowlin's Subdivision,which make up all of the land included in Parcels A,B and C of
this survey,has given testimony that,at some point in the past,heavy equipment used
for moving in a house on Lot 7 disturbed the location of the comer monuments marking
the North line of Lot 8.Although it is best surveying practice to accept found monuments
where they lay,this surveyor felt that these monuments had been moved far enough to
disregard their current location relative to adjoining,undisturbed monuments.New
monuments were set in those locations in accord with best measurements to adjoining
corners.
The Ames City Council approved this Plat of Survey on 2014,with
Resolution No. . I certify that it conforms to all conditions for approval.
