DATE: 10-24-17
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 502 AND 512 DOUGLAS 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
adjusting the boundary lines of existing tracts. Section 23.308 allows the use of a plat of
survey for a boundary line adjustment.
This plat of survey combines two tax parcels (three platted lots) into a single parcel.
One tax parcel, 502 Douglas Avenue, is two lots that were informally combined when the
existing building was built (in 1900 according to the City Assessor files). The residence on
the other platted lot, 512 Douglas Avenue, was demolished recently. Adams Funeral
Home seeks to combine the two tracts in order to construct an off-street parking lot
to the north of their building. The Zoning Board of Adjustment approved the Special
Use Permit and site plan at their meeting on September 27. In order to maintain
consistency with zoning standards in the Downtown Service Center zoning district,
the Board placed a condition that the two tracts need to be combined into a single
parcel.
The plat of survey does not trigger any new infrastructure or frontage improvements.
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 approve the proposed plat of survey consistent with the boundary
line adjustment standards of Chapter 23.
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.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff has determined that the proposed plat of survey satisfies all Code requirements for
the consolidation of the properties for the boundary line adjustment and has made a
1
preliminary decision of approval. Staff has also determined that the proposed plat of
survey for a boundary line adjustment does not trigger City infrastructure requirements as
defined within the Subdivision Code.
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.
