3. ZONING: The use of the property is subject to the provisions of the zoning
ordinances of the City of Ames.
4. GENERAL CONDITIONS: You are cautioned the adoption of a resolution of
necessity by a taxing authority for special assessments affecting the above property will
constitute a lien against the property from the date of filing in the office of the County
Treasurer but will not appear in the abstract until certified to the County Treasurer. No
liens of any kind upon the property under examination or demands against the property
are reported in the abstract except as mentioned herein. You are bound to take notice of
the rights of persons actually in possession of the real estate and the rights of materialmen
and laborers to file claims of mechanics' liens by reason of having furnished material or
labor in the improvement of the premises. Such claim of lien must be filed within ninety
days from the date on which the last of the material was furnished or the last of the labor
was performed. The correctness of lot area and boundary lines is not assured by this
opinion. This title opinion is rendered for platting purposes in accordance with the laws
of the State of Iowa and for no other purpose.
Very truly yours,
DAVIS, BROWN, KOEHN, SHORS & ROBERTS, P.C.
