DATE: 06-23-15
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 307 ASH AVENUE
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 an existing parcel
and adjacent vacated alley. The lot's location is shown on Attachment A Location
Map. 307 Ash Avenue is the site of a 12-unit apartment building, which is
proposed to be converted into a Greek house (Alpha Phi sorority).
The parcel is zoned High-Density Residential (RH) with the East University Impacted
Area Overlay (O-UIE). The combined lot size will be 22,266 square feet (0.51 acres).
Approval of this plat of survey will allow the applicant to prepare the official plat of
survey, 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.

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.
