Home My WebLink AboutA001 - Council Action Form dated February 23, 2021 ITEM # 26 DATE: 02-23-21 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY (BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENT) FOR 2805 AND 2809 GREEN HILLS DRIVE BACKGROUND: The subdivision regulations 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. As part of the recent Domani PRD approval, the developer was directed to completed boundary line adjustments to accommodate the approved setbacks within the PRD plan. This proposed plat of survey (see Attachment B) is for a boundary line adjustment between two existing lots (Lots 1 & 2, Domani Subdivision, First Addition) and to establish Parcels J and K. These lots are located at 2805 and 2809 Green Hills Drive and are each intended for a single-family home though they are presently vacant (see Attachment A). The property is zoned PRD (Planned Residence District). The two lots were established as part of Domani Subdivision, First Addition. Both properties have the same owner. Access will be taken from Green Hills Drive. The owner proposes adjusting the boundary line by moving it 1.5 feet south to adjust for future development. The proposed adjustment parallel to the current boundary between Lots 1 and 2. Both new parcels will meet minimum lot standards. 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 plat of survey may then be signed by the surveyor, who will submit it for recording in the office of the Story County Recorder. 1 ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the proposed plat of survey. 2. Deny the proposed plat of survey on the basis that the City Council finds that the requirements for plats of survey as described in Section 23.309 have not been satisfied. 3. Refer this request 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 lots and has made a preliminary decision of approval. No conflict exists with the existing PRD zoning standards as a result of the boundary line adjustment. The boundary line adjustment does not trigger any additional infrastructure improvements. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1, thereby approving the proposed plat of survey. 2 ADDENDUM Plat of Survey for 2805 & 2809 Green Hills Drive 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) Site Information: Owner: Pinnacle Properties Ames, LLC (Keith Arneson) Existing Street Addresses: 2805 Green Hills Drive 2809 Green Hills Drive Assessor's Parcel #: 0916460270 0916460260 Legal Description: See Attachment C.
