FOR SOUTH FORK SUBDIVISION
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, the developer of South Fork Subdivision has requested that a revision to the
Preliminary Plat and Master Plan, and this amendment is to create two residential lots out of what
was initially planned to be an outlot for storm water detention; and,
WHEREAS,South Fork Subdivision is a residential development of approximately 56 acres,
and it was configured to allow for multi-family housing, single-family attached, and single-family
detached homes; and,
WHEREAS, three final plats have been finalized consistent with the approved Preliminary
Plat; and,
WHEREAS,this revision to the Preliminary Plat and Master Plan seeks to add two additional
residential lots to South Fork and to adjust the southern boundary of a third lot—specifically,Lots 85
and 86 are proposed to be created out of what was to be Outlot F; and,
WHEREAS, Outlot F contains a storm water detention pond at the south end, and even
though this Outlot designation will be eliminated to allow its division for additional building lots,
the storm water detention pond that Outlot F encompassed remains appropriately sized and will be
protected through a storm water easement when this particular area is developed and final platted;
and,
WHEREAS, a Memorandum of Agreement that was approved concurrent with the
Preliminary Plat and Master Plan in 2001 stated that Outlot F was to have been attached to land to
the west which, at the time, was Lot 2, Willow Creek Subdivision, 4th Addition; and,
WHEREAS, Lot 2 was eventually platted as Estates at Nature's Crossing without the
addition of Outlot F; and,
WHEREAS, the purpose of attaching Outlot F to the adjacent property was to ensure a
responsible party to cut vegetation and remove trash accumulations around the storm water detention
pond, since there is no homeowner's association proposed for maintenance of the lot; and,
WHEREAS,the developer is now indicating that the maintenance responsibility around the
storm water detention pond will be the owner of proposed Lot 86, and, by easement, the City will
be responsible for long-term functionality of the storm water facility.
