COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 313 LYNN 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 as a boundary line adjustment for the purpose of
consolidating parcels.
This plat of survey is for a proposed consolidation of two existing tracts for Iowa
State House Delta Gamma Fraternity, LLC for the purpose of a building addition to
the front and rear of the existing residential structure. The lot's location is shown on
Attachment A Location Map. 313 Lynn Avenue is the site of a residential building,
which is proposed to be converted into a Greek house (Delta Gamma sorority).
The parcel is zoned High-Density Residential (RH) with the West University Impacted Area
Overlay (O-UIW). The combined lot size will be 27,542 square feet (0.63 acres). There is
an existing building and parking on the site. The proposed boundary line adjustment
conforms to zoning standards. The frontage of the site is fully improved.
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:

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.
