HomeMy WebLinkAboutA001 - Letter from Owners Dayton Park dated August 31, 1978 August 31, 1978
Honorable Mayor Fellinger
City Council
City of Ames
Ames, IA 50010
Dear Mayor and Councilpersons:
RE: Dayton Park
The land in reference is approximately 70 acres in the NE corner of Dayton
Avenue and Southeast 16th Street. A few months ago this was rezoned for
industry and light business. At this time a Super Eight Motel and Happy
Chef Restaurant are under construction on lots five (5) and six (6) as
shorn on the attached proposed plat. We are now in a position where we
would like to proceed with a conceptual plan similar to the plat attached.
We have prospects for two 10 acre parcels and this has precipitated an
urgency in moving along faster than we had planned. We have visited
several times with the engineering and planning staff and have come up with
some questions for which they do not have the answers and they have suggested
we present this to you for a decision.
You will note that the Natural Resources Council has requested that we provide
a water retention area of 90.3 acre feet which requires approximately 17 acres
of retention area. It is our understanding that SE 16th Street from Dayton
Avenue east was a county road with a 66' right of way and when the city annexed
this area it then became a city street. It is our understanding if this
street is improved it will require an 801 right of way in lieu of 661. The
questions we need answers to are as follows:
I. Who installs water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and surfaces street on
SE 16th Street?
2. Who pays for installation of same?

3. Will the improvements be installed by assessment or if not, by what other
method?
4. Since we are only responsible for h of the street it would
that these appear to me
improvements would need to be put in by assessment unless a
voluntary arrangement can be worked out by adjacent ouners.
We are looking forward to receiving answers to the above questions.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
OWNERS DA PARK, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
