DATE: 03-21-18
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY (BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENT)
FOR 317 S 17T" STREET AND 1615 S KELLOGG AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
The City's subdivision regulations found in Chapter 23 of the Ames Municipal Code
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 Lots 6
and 7of Southtown Subdivision, 317 S 17th Street and 1615 S Kellogg Avenue,
respectively. The west 75 feet of Lot 6 was previously deeded to another owner
at 319 S. 17th Street. The two subject lots are currently undeveloped. The sites are
zoned Highway Oriented Commercial zone (HOC). The proposed new parcel is
labeled Parcel C.
The site was reviewed to ensure that proposed lot dimensions complied with
requirements found in the zone development standards of the Highway Oriented
Commercial District (HOC). Staff also reviewed the prior subdivision conditions and
found it to conform. The site has no existing sidewalks and none are required as
through a boundary line adjustment approval in this circumstance. All other public
improvements are present. Sidewalks are required at the time of development of the
property. Consolidating the two lots will allow for development of the site as a single
property.
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 RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff has determined that the proposed plat of survey satisfies all Subdivision Code
requirements for a boundary line adjustment of existing parcels and has made a
preliminary decision of approval. The resulting parcel is designed to be conforming to
underlying design standards and building setbacks of HOC zoning. The boundary line
adjustment does not trigger infrastructure requirements unless there is a gap in
completion of existing infrastructure. Sidewalks are required to be constructed along all
frontages at the time of development and not as part of the Plat of Survey 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.
