COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT OF MECA SUBDIVISION.
ACTION FORM SUMMARY: The applicant, MECA L.L.C., is requesting that the City
Council approve a Final Plat of a minor subdivision of property located at the intersection
of Welch Avenue and Knapp Street. This plat consolidates a piece of property that was
included in a recent Plat of Survey with two other parcels that are pieces of previously
platted lots.
Staff recommends that the Final Plat of the MECA Subdivision be approved.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, MECA L.L.C. (Everett Cochrane), is proposing to consolidate several
parcels of property that are located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Welch
Avenue and Knapp Street. This is a minor subdivision and does not include the installation
of any infrastructure. All required infrastructure has already been installed in the adjacent
street right-of-way.
ANALYSIS:
The size of the parcel being consolidated is just over .5 acres and is currently zoned R-4.
It is anticipated that a new apartment building will be constructed on this property.
This plat has been reviewed and it has been determined that a public utility easement is
needed that is to be located along the easterly portion of the proposed lot. The property
owner is proposing to dedicate this easement. Based on this review, staff has determined
that this plat meets the requirement so the City is recommending the this plat be approved.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can approve the final plat of the MECA Subdivision to the City of
Ames.
2. The City Council can approve the final plat of the MECA Subdivision to the City of
Ames with modifications.
3. The City Council can deny approval of the final plat of the MECA 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 approve the Final Plat of the MECA Subdivision to the City of Ames as
submitted.
