RESOLUTION DEFERRING INSTALLATION OF SIDEWALK
ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF SOUTH HIGH AVENUE
AS PART OF A TWO-LOT SUBDIVISION AT 212 SE 16TH STREET
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS,the property owner owns the subject lot that was originally platted in 1978 as Lots 2,
6, and 7 of Camelot Subdivision; and,
WHEREAS, at some point since the original plat, the property owner combined Lots 2, 6, and 7,
through a Plat of Survey, and the site was given a new parcel designation: Parcel B; and,
WHEREAS, at this time, the property owner is wishing to sell the western half, or basically the
original Lot 2, of the subject property; and,
WHEREAS,the subject property must be subdivided in order for part of the parcel to be sold; and,
WHEREAS,the proposed Subdivision would create an eastern parcel(original Lots 6 and&7)with
205 feet of frontage along South High Avenue and also along Southeast 16d'Street; and,
WHEREAS,the frontage along Southeast 16t1i Street is only 35 feet wide and is comprised entirely
of a paved drive aisle; and,
WHEREAS,the property owner is requesting that the City Council waive the requirement to install
the sidewalk, citing that the existing area does not currently have sidewalks and installation would be
difficult and expensive due to existing building placement,narrow right-of-way, and steep slopes; and,
WHEREAS, Section 23.403(14)of the Municipal Code requires the installation of sidewalks with
the subdivision of property, but it does allow for waivers or modifications to the requirements in certain
instances.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,Iowa, that the
deferment of the installation of the sidewalk until such time as sidewalks are installed elsewhere on South
High Avenue is hereby approved pending receipt of a signed agreement and a letter of credit, or other
acceptable security,to ensure the installation of the deferred sidewalk.
