RESOLUTION APPROVING WAIVER OF
INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS FOR A
SINGLE-LOT SUBDIVISION WITHIN THE 2-MILE
JURISDICTION OUTSIDE THE CITY'S CORPORATE
LIMITS ON WEST RIVERSIDE ROAD
WHEREAS, Douglas Ward and Linda Glantz-Ward wish to construct a single-family
dwelling on a lot on West Riverside Road; and,
WHEREAS,they are in the process of purchasing a 4.43-acre parcel,which is being split off
of an 80-acre site; and,
WHEREAS, in order to meet the city's requirements for subdivision, the Wards would be
required to install City infrastructure(water main,sanitary sewer main,storm sewer,curb and gutter,
and sidewalk); and,
WHEREAS, in this situation, staff believes that installing these improvements now would
be ill-advised since the improvement plans for this infrastructure have not been completed and will
not be completed for some time in the future; and,
WHEREAS, the Wards propose to use rural water and install a septic system, which are
acceptable methods of water service and waste disposal for this situation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that a waiver to the Subdivision Ordinance for the installation of infrastructure for this 4.43-acre lot
on West Riverside Road is hereby granted.
ADOPTED THIS 8th day of May, 2001.
