COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT OF THE 6T" ADDITION TO
THE SOMERSET SUBDIVISION.
ACTION FORM SUMMARY: The developer of the Somerset subdivision is requesting
approval of the Final Plat of the 6" addition to the Somerset subdivision. This addition
includes 18 Country House lots and 57 Village Cottage lots that will be combined into
larger lots for the construction of Village Cottages. A review of this final plat by staff
indicates that the subdivision meets the requirements of the subdivision regulations and
the zoning change agreement.
Staff is recommending that this Final Plat be approved.
BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting that the City approve the Final Plat of the 6tn
addition to the Somerset subdivision. This addition proposes to create 17 Country House
lots and 57 Village Cottage lots. This proposed addition is located along the easterly
portion of the Somerset Subdivision and includes an extension of Somerset Drive north of
Bristol Drive.
ANALYSIS: The Country House lots range in size from approximately 7,000 square feet
to as large as approximately 8,500 square feet. The Village Cottage lots are being
proposed in a series of 10 foot wide lot slivers that enables the combination of these lots
slivers into larger parcels that will provide for the construction of Village Cottages on lots
that will range in size from 30' to 50' in width. Access to the Village Cottage lots are
restricted to alley access, which is located between the Village Cottages and the Garden
Apartment lots to the west of this addition, which have been recently approved.
The Country House lots are zoned R1-6 and the Village Cottage lots are zoned R-2. All
lots in Somerset are governed by the Agreement Pertaining to the Rezoning Subdivision
Platting and Development of Land in the City of Ames Called Somerset Subdivision
(Zoning Change Agreement).
Staff has reviewed the Final Plat for the 6"Addition of Somerset and has determined that
the Final Plat complies with the requirements of the subdivision regulations along with the
Zoning Change Agreement.
At the time of the approval of this Final Plat, none of the required subdivision improvements
have been installed. These improvements include street, sidewalk, curb and gutter
improvements, water and sewer infrastructure, storm sewer facilities, street lights, and all
other required improvements. The responsibility to install these improvements is
documented in a Public Improvement agreement that has been signed by the developer
and is to be approved by the City Council as part of this Final Plat. The installation of these
improvements is secured by a "Letter of Credit" in the amount of $368,000 to insure
installation.

1. The City Council can approve the Final Plat of the 6th Addition to the Somerset
subdivision.
2. The City Council can deny approval of the Final Plat of the 61h Addition to the Somerset
subdivision.
3. The City Council can refer this request back to staff for additional information.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1.
