Home My WebLink AboutA010 - Council Action Form dated August 8, 2000 i 1 ITEM # / DATE 08/08/00 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT FOR GUGE SUBDIVISION, TO THE CITY OF AMES. ACTION FORM SUMMARY: The applicants, Eldon and Paula Guge, are requesting that pP 9 q 9 the City Council approve the Final Plat for the Guge Subdivision to the City of Ames, and are also requesting that the City Council approve a request to waive the sidewalk requirement. Staff is recommending that this Final Plat be approved and that the request to waive the sidewalks be denied. BACKGROUND: The applicants, Eldon and Paula Guge, are requesting that the City Council approve the Final Plat for the Guge Subdivision to the City of Ames. The applicants are also requesting that the sidewalk requirement be waived. This proposed plat includes the creation of two lots that are 10,114 and 11,636 square feet in size. The lots are sized to create four (4) dwelling units per net acre. The lots in question are zoned "RL", Residential Low Density. One of the proposed lots currently has a home located on it, the other lot would be created for the construction of an additional home. The lots currently have all required infrastructure available to the proposed lots, with the exception of sidewalk improvements. ANALYSIS: Staff has reviewed the Final Plat for the Guge Subdivision to the City of Ames and has determined that the plat meets the requirements of the City. The applicants have signed an agreement to install sidewalks, even though they are requesting that the sidewalk requirement be waived by the City Council. This agreement has been signed as a means to complete the processing of the request for Final Plat approval. Without the signed agreement, staff would have indicated that the request before the City Council is incomplete and thus should not be approved. STAFF COMMENT: All other infrastructure is in place and all other requirements of the subdivision regulations have been complied with, as long as the City Council does not waive the sidewalk requirement. As a result of this, staff is recommending that the Final Plat of Guge Subdivision to the City of Ames be approved and that the request to waive the sidewalk requirement be denied. (A copy of the plat is attached). ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City Council can deny approval of the request to waive the sidewalk requirement and approve the Final Plat for the Guge Subdivision to the City of Ames. 2. The City Council can approve the request to waive the sidewalk requirement and approve the Final Plat of the Guge Subdivision to the City of Ames. 3. The City Council can approve the Final Plat for Guge Subdivision with modifications. 4. The City Council can deny approval of the Final Plat of the Guge Subdivision to the City of Ames. MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1. This action will deny the request to waive the sidewalk requirement and approve the Final Plat for Guge Subdivision to the City of Ames. COUNCIL ACTION: Attachment 2 PREPARED BY: JOEL R.
