Home My WebLink AboutA002 - Council Action Form dated October 10, 2017 ITEM # 18 DATE: 10-10-17 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY (BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENT) FOR 2021 AUDUBON DRIVE & 2104 LEOPOLD DRIVE 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 and for boundary line adjustments. This proposed plat of survey is for a boundary line adjustment of existing lot 19 in the Hayden's Crossing Subdivision First Addition and Lot 2 in Hayden's Crossing Subdivision Second Addition. The parcels have been in their present configuration since Hayden's Crossing Subdivisiori First and Second Addition were platted. The sites are zoned FS-RL and are currently unbuilt lots proposed to have single-family detached homes. The proposed change shifts the common rear property line at a maximum of approximately 18 feet at the rear of the two sites. The current common rear property line has a sharp right angle design. The proposed boundary line adjustment straightens the line to create a more uniform boundary between the lots. Approximately 210 square feet of land will be affected by the change. The easement along the rear property line is unaffected by the proposed boundary line change. 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 23.309 have not been satisfied. 3. The City Council can refer this back to staff and/or the owner for additional information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION: 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. The resulting two lots are designed to be conforming to underlying design standards and building setbacks of RL zoning. 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.
