John Klaus
City Attorney
City of Ames
Dear John:
You said it would make your life easier if I wrote you an opinion concerning title to the real estate
and if I were to secure a certificate from the Story County Treasurer.
It is my opinion that title to the real estate is in the names of the entities who signed the Dedication
subject to easements and covenants of record, Articles and By-Laws of Northridge Parkway
Homeowners Association,Inc.and zoning ordinances of the City of Ames. There are no mortgages
against the real estate.
There are no delinquent real estate taxes;but it will take me a short time to secure a Certificate from
the Story County Treasurer.
In the mean time it would be beneficial to have the platting papers circulated among the members
of the City staff. I ought to be able to have the Certificate before the Resolution is presented to the
Council.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
NEWBROUGH, J STON, BREWER ADDUX & SOTAK, L.L.P.
