Home My WebLink AboutA002 - Council Action Form dated August 22, 2017 1 9 ITEM # 26 DATE: 08-22-17 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 1414 FLORIDA AVENUE BACKGROUND: The City's subdivision regulations are found in Chapter 23 of the 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. The subject property was created by vacation of right-of-way in the past. It appears, based on documentation by the licensed land surveyor, that property corners (monuments) were established in the past for the conveyance parcel established in 1963. Additionally in 1971, 10-foot wide strips of land were also conveyed to the property owner along the east side of Florida Avenue and the south side of Toronto Street. Prior to ownership of the parcels by the City of Ames, this was unplatted land in the City of Ontario, which was then dedicated to the City of Ames as street right-of-way. It has been determined by the Director of Planning & Housing, in accordance with the authority granted by Section 23.307(4)(d) of the Municipal Code, that the original 1963 conveyance parcel is a pre-established conveyance parcel due to presence of survey monuments. As an established parcel, the property owner is requesting a boundary line adjustment to combine the previously conveyed right-of-way with the pre- established parcel and create new property lines as Parcel "B" for permitting purposes. The proposed "Parcel B" will include 9,076 square feet of lot area. There is an existing two-family conversion located on the property that was originally constructed as a single- family dwelling. Zoning for the property is "RH" (Residential High Density). There are no sidewalk improvements on either street frontage of the parcel. Boundary line adjustments do not trigger additional infrastructure improvements, unless partial infrastructure improvements exist and are required to be extended across a property. No public sidewalk exists on the subject properties and as an existing parcel rather than a conveyance parcel no improvements are required. 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 1 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. Adopt the resolution approving the proposed Plat of Survey. 2. 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. Refer this back to staff and/or the owner for additional information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff has determined that the original parcel meets the definition of a pre-established parcel and the combining of other property is permissible as a boundary line adjustment. The proposed Plat of Survey satisfies all code requirements for approval. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council accept Alternative No. 1, as noted above. 2 ADDENDUM PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 1414 FLORIDA AVENUE Application for a proposed Plat of Survey has been submitted for: ❑ Conveyance parcel (per Section 23.307) ® Boundary line adjustment (per Section 23.309) ❑ Re-plat to correct error (per Section 23.310) ❑ Auditor's plat (per Code of Iowa Section 354.15) The site is located at: Owner: Jacob D.
