INSTALLATION OF SIDEWALK AT 407 GARDEN ROAD
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS, the developer is requesting that the Council waive the requirement for the
installation of a sidewalk at 407 Garden Road; and,
WHEREAS, approximately 250 feet of sidewalk is required along Garden Road and
approximately 283 feet of sidewalk along Willowbrook Circle; and,
WHEREAS,the developer proposes to divide the property into two parcels,and this requires
subdivision approval by the Council; and,
WHEREAS,this is an established residential area, and sidewalks in this neighborhood are
limited; and,
WHEREAS,sidewalk does exist to the east on both sides of Garden Road,and the developer
believes that a sidewalk is not necessary for the proposed subdivision since no sidewalk presently

subdivisions, but provide for the "deferment" of the installation of sidewalk in new subdivisions
where installation is premature.
