COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT FOR SOMERSET
SUBDIVISION,THIRD ADDITION
BACKGROUND:
The owners of the property north of 24th Street and east of George Washington Carver
Avenue have met the requirements of the City with respect to the subdivision ordinance.
You may recall that final plat approval for Somerset, Third Addition, had been pulled from
previous agendas due to two unresolved issues: 1) Utility easements for locations on the east
side of Stange Road to replace those the City had previously granted on the west side; and,
2) Homeowner's Association documents clearly stating the Association's responsibility for
snow and ice removal on the alleys. These documents have now been received. The City
Attorney and other Staff have reviewed them, and it is now recommended that the final plat
for Somerset Subdivision, Third Addition, be approved. The developers have filed guarantees
to assure completion of the remaining public improvements, which include streets, street
lights, and sidewalks.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can approve the final plat documents for Somerset Subdivision, Third
Addition.
2. The City Council can table action and refer this request back to Staff.
3. The City Council can deny approval of the final plat for Somerset Subdivision, Third
Addition.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council accept the final plat and
associated documents for Somerset Subdivision, Third Addition, in Ames, Iowa.
