COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARTIAL ABANDONMENT OF SANITARY SEWER, STORM SEWER,
AND SURFACE WATER FLOWAGE EASEMENT TO LOT 89 BENTWOOD
SUBDIVISION FIRST ADDITION.
BACKGROUND:
The property owner of Lot 89 Bentwood Subdivision First Addition (Lori M. Whitmer
5426 Frost Drive, Ames, Iowa) has requested permission to build a garage 6' into the
sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and surface flowage easement that exists over the west
15' of Lot 89.
Staff has viewed the existing contours of the drainage swale that is on this lot and the
adjoining lot and is satisfied that a reduction in the easement width and the construction
of a garage will not adversely affect surface water drainage.
The only utility in this easement is a City storm sewer and it is located on the property
line. The entire easement width for the storm sewer and surface water flowage is 30' of
which 15' is on either side of the common lot line between Lots 88 and 89.
With this action, the City would abandon the east 6' of the sanitary sewer, storm sewer,
and surface water flowage easement that exists over the west 15' of Lot 89 Bentwood
Subdivision First Addition. [Recorded in 94-10844(5)]
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council abandon the east 6'
of the sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and surface water flowage easement that exists
across the west 15' of Lot 89 Bentwood Subdivision First Addition.
