WHEREAS, Iowa State University(ISU) is making plans to construct a gateway feature along
Elwood Drive that will be located partially within the City right-of-way; and,
WHEREAS,the University is requesting that the City Council approve an encroachment permit,
which allows a structure to extend into the limits of a City street, alley, or sidewalk; and,
WHEREAS, this project is part of a larger corridor plan to improve the image of this major
entryway to the portion of the community in which ISU is located; and,
WHEREAS, the Ames Land Use Policy Plan identifies Elwood Drive interchange with U.S.
Highway 30 as a primary access to the University and describes City policies to identify and enhance
access to this and other community entries; and,
WHEREAS,the project must be built according to the design plans attached to the encroachment
permit and the Minor Site Development Plan documents; and,
WHEREAS,the University is requesting that the City waive the usual fee for the encroachment
permit, which is consistent with past practice for City and University fees; and,

to $2,041.
