DATE: 08-11-15
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 2811, 2817, AND 2823 WEST 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. 2811 West Street is the site of an
apartment constructed in 2009. 2817 and 2823 West Street are two older apartments
that are being demolished to allow for an expansion of 2811 West Street.
The applicant must demolish the existing structures on 2817 and 2823 West Street
prior to the release of this plat of survey for recording in order to avoid creating
non-conforming structures.
All three parcels are zoned High-Density Residential within the West University Impacted
Area Overlay. There are existing frontage improvements along both West Street and
Campus Avenue. The combined lot size will be 0.59 acres and will be addressed as 2811
West Street. The property owner seeks to add an addition to the existing apartment
building on the merged property.
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 and
delay its recording until demolition of the two older buildings.
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.
1
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.
The plat cannot be recorded until the demolition of the existing older buildings.
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.
