COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 2810 & 2824 WAKEFIELD CIRCLE
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.
This particular Plat of Survey is for a proposed boundary line adjustment of two
existing platted lots in Ames Community Industrial Park, 4th Addition, southeast of
the intersection of Wakefield Circle and S. Bell Avenue. (See Attachment A, Location
Map) The properties are currently owned by Dayton Park, LLC. In this instance, the owner
seeks to combine the two lots into a single parcel for future industrial development. The
Plat of Survey eliminates the boundary line between existing Lots 8 and 13 of Ames
Community Development Park, 4t" Addition (See Attachment B, Existing Conditions, and
Attachment C, Plat of Survey). A vacation of easements was approved by City Council at
its last meeting.
Public improvement requirements were incorporated into the original final plat approval of
the overall subdivision, which includes sidewalk along the boundaries of the new parcel
that abut Wakefield Circle and S. Bell Avenue. Staff also notes this site is within the
South Bell TIF Developer's Agreement area. The site will be subject to large lot
requirements of the agreement and its other development provisions.
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.

3. The City Council can refer this back to staff an
d/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.
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.
