HomeMy WebLinkAboutA005 - Council Action Form dated November 27, 2018 - Vacation of Water Main Easement at 2205 Green Hills Drive ITEM # 11
DATE: 11-27-18
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: VACATION OF WATER MAIN EASEMENT AT 2205 GREEN HILLS DRIVE
BACKGROUND:
A site plan for a building addition and other improvements at 2205 Green Hills Drive was
submitted and reviewed by City of Ames staff. According to the site plan, the proposed
building addition is to be constructed over an existing public water main. Standard City policy
is not to allow building construction over existing public utilities. Therefore, that section of
water main has been relocated prior to commencing building construction.
The corresponding water main easement that extends over 2205 Green Hills Drive
can, therefore, be vacated since the water main has been relocated. A new water main
easement over the relocated portion will be recorded prior to the public hearing to
vacate. If the new easement has not been recorded prior to the public hearing, then
the hearing will be continued to the next meeting.
Attachment A is an aerial map showing the location of the easement to be vacated and the
approximate location of the new easement over the relocated water main. Attachment B is
the vacation plat which includes the legal descriptions of the water main easement to be
vacated.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . Set the date of public hearing as December 11 , 2018 to approve the vacation of the
aforementioned easement at 2205 Green Hills Drive.
2. Reconsider the vacation of the aforementioned easement at 2205 Green Hills Drive.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
This water main easement can be vacated because it will no longer be needed. The water
main has been relocated ahead of the proposed building addition construction and a new
water main easement will be recorded.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1 as noted above.
