DATE: 10-27-15
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 115 91h STREET, 913 DUFF AVENUE, AND 915
DUFF 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 establishing a recognized property
description of official parcels, through approval of a plat of survey, for the purpose of
obtaining building permits
This particular plat of survey is to establish official "parcel" letters for each of the
three existing pre-established conveyance parcels, for the purpose of clarifying the
legal description and parcel boundaries, prior to seeking building permits. (see
Attachment B — Proposed Plat of Survey). All three proposed parcels (see Attachment A
— Location Map) are zoned as "RM" (Residential Medium Density) within the "O-SFC"
(Single Family Conservation Overlay District). Proposed Parcel "C", with frontage on 9th
Street, is also in the "O-H" (Historical Preservation Overlay District), known in Ames as the
Old Town Historic District. There are existing frontage improvements along Duff Avenue
and 9th Street, and no new improvements are required with the plat of survey.
The parcels at 913 and 915 Duff Avenue, were previously occupied by apartment buildings
(one building on each lot), which were conversions of structures originally constructed as
single-family dwellings. These structures were demolished by the current owners in 2011.
The property owners desire to establish these legal parcels, in preparation for site plan
approval and for the issuance of building permits at some point in the future. Timing for
the redevelopment of the two properties is yet to be determined by the owners. The third
parcel, at 115 9th Street, could function as vehicular access to the other two parcels, and at
a width of eight feet is one-half the width of a former alley.
Once a proposed plat of survey has been approved by the City Council by resolution, and
once conditions of approval have been met, if required, the official plat of survey may be
prepared for signature by a licensed surveyor. The plat of survey prepared for official
signatures shall be submitted to the Planning & Housing Department for the Director's
review and signature, 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 for the
three parcels located at 115 9th Street, 913 Duff Avenue, and 915 Duff Avenue.
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.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The retracement of the current lots and creating parcel legal descriptions conforms to the
lot line boundary requirements of the O-SFC zoning and satisfies all code requirements for
the platting of conveyance parcels. Staff 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.
