DATE 07/13/99
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT OF PARCELS `A' AND `B'
OF LOT 4, AMES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PARK, FIRST ADDITION
ACTION FORM SUMMARY: Ford Street Development Company has proposed to further
subdivide Lot 4 of the Ames Community Development Park into smaller lots. This
subdivision is occurring as a Minor Subdivision under the new subdivision regulations of
the City.
Staff recommends that the Final Plat be approved.
BACKGROUND: The applicant, Ford Street Development Company, is requesting the
approval of a two lot division of the existing Lot 4 of the Ames Community Development
Park, First Addition. Lot 4 is located on the west side of Bell Avenue, one lot south of the
intersection of Bell Avenue and Graham Street.
The two lots that have been proposed as a re-division of the existing lot 4 are .63 acres
and 1.21 acres in size. The property is zoned industrial and the proposed lot sizes meet
the requirements in the industrial zone with all utilities available to the proposed lots.
This is the first division of land since the new provision of the minor subdivision has been
put into effect. As stated earlier there is no infrastructure needed for this subdivision, as
this is a simple division of an existing platted lot.
The minor subdivision was first submitted to the City on June 29, 1999. Staff is able to
process this request in a short time frame due to the simplicity of the proposed division.
As of the time that this Action Form was prepared, there remains a question whether the
description of the two proposed lots should be parcels "A" and "B" or Lots 1 and 2. In
addition, there is a question as to the distinctiveness of the name of the proposed
subdivision. These questions are being raised by the County Auditor. These questions
are to be resolved prior to Action of the City Council on Tuesday, July 13, 1999.
A copy of the plat and attachments are included with the Action Form.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can approve the Final Plat of Parcel "A" and "B" of Lot 4 of the Ames
Community Development Park, First Addition.
2. The City Council can refer this request back to staff for additional information
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1.
This will approve the Final Plat of Parcel "A" and "B" of Lot 4 of the Ames Community
Development Park, First Addition. This is the first subdivision of land utilizing the new minor
subdivision provision in the newly adopted subdivision regulations.
