Date: April 8, 1997
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: ABANDONING STORM SEWER EASEMENT ACROSS LOT 3
COOPERS SECOND SUBDIVISION
BACKGROUND:
This storm sewer easement is over the east 40' of Lot 3 of Coopers Second
Subdivision. The easement was retained for an underground storm sewer and for an
overland flow drainage channel that exists from South Fourth Street to the Stonehaven
Complex driveway.
The developer of this property has redesigned the overland flow channel so that his
apartment building can occupy some of the 40' wide easement.
Staff was concerned about damages that may occur to the building due to storm water
flowage. Because of this concern, staff requested a new easement document be
executed that described the actual easement with a clause that saves the City harmless
from damages caused by drainage to the apartment building.
This new easement has been executed by the owner and is acceptable to the City of
Ames. It is now appropriate for the City to vacate the original storm sewer easement
described as the east 40 feet of Lot 3 Coopers Second Subdivision, Ames, Iowa
recorded in the office of the Story County Recorder at Book 313, Page 142.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council abandon the storm
sewer easement described as the east 40 feet of Lot 3 Coopers Second Subdivision,
Ames, Iowa.
