COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR "DAYTON
INDUSTRIAL PARK SUBDIVISION", INCLUDING APPROXIMATELY 15.55 ACRES,
GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF SOUTH DAYTON AVENUE,AND APPROXIMATELY
ONE-QUARTER MILE SOUTH OF EAST LINCOLN WAY.
BACKGROUND:
Subdivision Proposal. The Developer is requesting approval of a Preliminary Plat for
"Dayton Industrial Park Subdivision", including approximately 15.55 acres, of which 0.69
acres is part of the existing public right-of-way for South Dayton Avenue.
The Developer is proposing to subdivide the subject property into 13 lots for industrial land
use, ranging in size from 0.68 acres to 1.81 acres. Three outlots (Outlots A, B, and C)will
be established for the street right-of-way of Armstrong Street, Glidden Avenue, and
Southeast 5th Street.
The Developer intends to develop the property for general industrial land use with access
provided to the subdivision from South Dayton Avenue and from Southeast 5th Street.
Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP). The Preliminary Plat is consistent with the Land Use
Policy Plan Map designation of "General Industrial".
The proposed subdivision is located inside the boundaries for the"New Lands—All Other"
development area. This development site is part of an industrial expansion area located
adjacent to the west boundary of the Ames Industrial Park. The location is important in
meeting the community's near-term industrial land use needs.
Zoning. The subject property is zoned as"GI"(General Industrial). Surrounding properties
in all directions are zoned as "GI" for industrial land use. There is no minimum lot area.
The minimum frontage is 25 feet and the maximum building coverage is 85%. Land uses
proposed for the lots in this subdivision must receive approval of a site plan. The process
for approval of a site plan involves the review and approval of a Minor Site Development
Plan by City staff, or review and recommendation of a Special Use Permit by the Planning
and Zoning Commission, followed by review and approval by the Zoning Board of
Adjustment. The type of land use proposed will determine which of the two approval
procedures is required.
Existing Land Uses. The subject property includes agricultural land. The surrounding land
use to the north, east, and west is a non-conforming residential structure, vacant land area,
and developed land area with industrial land uses. The land to the south is occupied by
non-conforming single-family residential dwellings and an auto salvage operation, all of
which began prior to annexing the properties into Ames.
Utilities. The municipal utilities in the area are adequate, and can be extended to serve the
proposed subdivision.
Electric. This site is inside the service area for the Ames Municipal Electric Utility.
The necessary electric capacity is in place to serve the industrial land uses proposed
for this subdivision.
Water Distribution. An eight-inch water main is planned in all proposed street
right-of-ways for the subdivision, including Armstrong Street, Glidden Avenue, and
Southeast 5th Street. The proposed water main will connect to existing water mains in
the South Dayton Avenue right-of-way and in the Southeast 5th Street right-of-way to
the east. This will establish a looped system in this industrial part of the community.
The Developer is responsible for all costs associated with the water main
improvements, with the exception of the water main to be constructed in the right-of-
way for Southeast 5th Street. The Developer will be responsible for one-half of the
water main improvements in the Southeast 5th Street right-of-way. Water connection
fees along South Dayton Avenue must be paid prior to, or as part of the submittal of
the Final Plat documents.
Sanitary Sewer. An eight-inch sanitary sewer main is proposed in the street
right-of-way for Armstrong Street and Glidden Avenue in the subdivision. All costs
associated these sanitary sewer improvements are the responsibility of the
Developer.
• Developer Proposal for Sanitary Sewer Main in S. Dayton Avenue. The
Developer proposes to extend an 8-inch sanitary sewer main in the
right-of-way for South Dayton Avenue from the south boundary of the
subdivision only to the proposed right-of-way forArmstrong Street, a distance
of 383.0 feet.
• Staff Proposal for Sanitary Sewer Main in South Dayton Avenue. City
staff believes it is necessary that the sanitary sewer in Dayton Avenue be
extended along the entire west boundary of the proposed subdivision, a
total distance of 663.90 feet, to serve development of the proposed
subdivision and properties north and west of this subdivision.

• Responsibility for the Cost of Sanitary Sewer Main in South Dayton
Avenue. It is the Developers responsibility to pay 100 percent of the cost of
extending sanitary sewer in the Dayton Avenue right-of-way from a point on
the south boundary of the proposed subdivision, north for a distance of 383.0
feet.
Staff's recommendation is that the responsibility for the cost of extending
sanitary sewer along the north 280.9 feet of the South Dayton Avenue
right-of-way, adjacent to the west boundary of the subdivision, would be
divided evenly (50/50) between the Developer and the City of Ames. The
reason for the cost sharing of this section of the sanitary sewer is because
this section of the sanitary sewer would serve additional properties west and
north of the proposed subdivision.
Storm Sewer. Twelve-inch and 18-inch storm sewer mains are planned in the
proposed street right-of-ways for the subdivision to control the storm water runoff
generated by the proposed development.
Stormwater Management. The run-off control for this subdivision will be designed and
implemented within each proposed lot. Runoff will be controlled through on-site detention
at intakes, or in detention areas within each lot and conveyed to the street and storm sewer
system. The rate of runoff from the development is not allowed to increase above the
pre-development level of runoff.
Erosion Control. The Developers have submitted an erosion control plan for the
proposed subdivision, as described on sheet Number 1 of the Preliminary Plat. These
erosion control measures meet the minimum requirements of the City.
Streets and Vehicular Access. Access to the subdivision will be from South Dayton
Avenue and from Southeast 5 to Street. The section of Southeast 5 toStreet that will
connect to the internal streets for this subdivision is planned for construction as part of this
development. The north one-half of the street right-of-way is located inside the subdivision
boundaries. The south one-half of Southeast 5th Street is located on land owned by
property owners outside the proposed subdivision. The City of Ames intends to negotiate
with the property owners to purchase the land necessary to construct the south one-half of
h
the right-of-way for Southeast 5 tStreet. The new section of Southeast 5th Street will
connect to the existing section of Southeast 5 to Street located directly to the east.
Southeast 5th Street will be extended west to connect to South Dayton Avenue as
development occurs on adjacent parcels of land, or as traffic demands warrant. Southeast
to
5 Street is a minor arterial street in the Transportation Master Plan, and is planned for
extension to South Duff Avenue, as part of future transportation improvements in the
community.
3
A RISE grant application to pay for fifty(50) percent of the cost of street construction in the
subdivision has been awarded by the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT). The total
estimated project cost is $365,547.00, with the local match being $182,774.00 to be paid
by the Armstrong Family Trust.
Access to Lots 1, 2, and 3 will be restricted on the Final Plat. A temporary access to Lot 1
will be granted from South Dayton Avenue, until such time that Southeast 5th Street, east of
South Dayton Avenue, is constructed to connect with South Dayton Avenue.
A note must be included on the Final Plat that states that access to Lots 2 and 3 is
restricted to Armstrong Street.
Armstrong Street and Glidden Avenue are the two internal public streets proposed for the
subdivision. Each street will have a right-of-way width of 66 feet and a paving width of 31
feet back-to- back of curb. The section of Southeast 5t" Street to be constructed will have
a right-of-way width of 80 feet and a paving width of 31 feet. These right-of-way and
paving widths meet the minimum subdivision standards for public streets. On-street
parking will not be permitted in this subdivision.
Subdivision regulations require sidewalks to be installed on both sides of all streets. The
Developers are requesting that this requirement be waived by the City Council. Section
23.103(1) "Waiver/Modification", of the Subdivision Regulations reads as follows:
(1) Where, in the case of a particular subdivision, it can be shown that strict
compliance with the requirements of the Regulations would result in
extraordinary hardship to the Applicant or would prove inconsistent with the
purpose of the Regulations because of unusual topography or other conditions,
the City Council may modify or waive the requirements of the Regulations so
that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured. Provided,
however, that such modification or waiver shall not have the effect of nullifying
the intent and purpose of the Regulations. In no case shall any modification or
waiver be more than necessary to eliminate the hardship or conform to the
purpose of the Regulations. In so granting a modification or waiver, the City
Council may impose such additional conditions as are necessary to secure
substantially the objectives of the requirements so modified or waived.
Staff believes the conditions necessary to approve a waiver of the requirement for
sidewalks, have not been met, and the waiver should not be granted by the City Council.
A bicycle path, 10 feet wide, is planned along the west side of the proposed subdivision, in
the right-of-way for South Dayton Avenue. The developer is responsible for the installation
of this bicycle path.

Fire. It is the City Council's goal to have a minimum of 85% of the land area in Ames
within a maximum fire department response time of five (5) minutes. The proposed
subdivision is located in the 15% of land area that is beyond a fire department response
time of five (5) minutes.
Stipulations. The following stipulations should be placed on the approval of the
Preliminary Plat for Dayton Industrial Park Subdivision to assure that it will be developed
consistent with the intent of the Subdivision Ordinance and other ordinances, adopted
plans, and policies of the City of Ames.
