COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: VACATING AND TRANSFERRING OUTLOT "Y" COUNTRY GABLES
5TH ADDITION
BACKGROUND:
Outlot "Y" in Country Gables 5th Addition was reserved for public access and bicycle
path construction. It has been discovered that the bicycle path was actually installed
partially on Outlot "Y" and partially on Lot 5 of Country Gables 5th Subdivision.
Rather than moving the bikepath, the developer has proposed that the City vacate
Outlot "Y" and give this property to the owner of Lot 5. This owner would then transfer
property to the City of Ames that would match the location of the existing bikepath.
The attached correspondence and plats explain the process in detail.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Reject the request and require the bikepath to'be reconstructed in the property
location.
2. Approve the request with the stipulation that all transfers be accomplished at no
cost to the City.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council accept alternative #2
and begin proceedings to vacate and transfer Outlot "Y" Country Gables 5th Addition to
Ames, Story County, Iowa to David A. Cole and Ruth E. Cole (owners of Lot 5 Country
Gables 5th Addition) subject to the City receiving the property that is under the existing
bicycle path.
