COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 535 S 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 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
conveyance parcel, as shown on Attachment A. The parcel (a consolidation of one
platted lot and a portion of an adjacent platted lot) has been existing in its present
configuration since a deed was recorded in 1953.
This 1 .01-acre parcel is zoned Highway-Oriented Commercial (HOC). The site is almost
entirely within the Floodway Fringe, although a small portion at the southwest corner falls
within the Floodway. The placement of fill on the site has been approved in anticipation of
future development that has not yet been submitted for site development plan approval.
The site has access to all city utilities and no additional easements or improvements are
required in conjunction with the proposed plat of survey. Staff notes that the subject site
only has a sidewalk present at this time and not a shared use path as exists to the
south of the site. Despite the lack of a shared use path along the frontage, installation of
a shared use path is not required as the Subdivision Code has not been updated to require
bikeway improvements in coordination with the Ames Area MPO Transportation Plan.
However, upon redevelopment of the site the property owner will be responsible for
constructing an 8-foot shared use path to replace the existing sidewalk as required
under Chapter 22 for missing infrastructure.
Approval of this plat of survey (Attachment B) 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
1
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.
