COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 413 NORTHWESTERN AVENUE, AND 910 &
914 FIFTH STREET
BACKGROUND:
The City's subdivision regulations are found in Chapter 23 of the Ames Municipal Code.
These regulations include the process for creating or modifying property boundaries and
for determining if any improvements are required in conjunction with the platting of
property. The regulations also describe the process for combining existing platted lots or
conveyance parcels in order to create a parcel for development purposes. A plat of survey
is allowed by Section 23.309 for the consolidation of conveyance parcels.
This particular plat of survey is for a proposed consolidation of three existing
parcels, as shown on Attachment A Location Map. 413 Northwestern Avenue is the
site of Wheatsfield grocery, which is proposing an expansion of their parking lot as
well as other improvements. 910 and 914 Fifth Street are single-family homes to be
demolished for the parking lot expansion. The applicant must demolish the existing
structures prior to the approval of this plat of survey to meet zoning requirements
that restrict multiple residential buildings on individual lots. The properties all have
adequate existing infrastructure along Fifth Street and no additional improvements
are required at this time.
All three parcels are zoned Highway-Oriented Commercial. The combined lot size will be
2.16 acres.
Approval of this plat of survey will allow the applicant to prepare the official plat of survey
and submit it to the Planning and Housing Director for review. The Director will 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, who will submit it for recording 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 and/or the owner for additional information
or continue the item to a later date if the existing structures have not been demolished.
l
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff has determined that the proposed plat of survey satisfies all code requirements for a
boundary line adjustment of existing lots 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.
