Discussion took place on the matter that the eight lots are landlocked and do not have access to a public street. To quote from the attached staff report: "This subdivision conforms to the overall proposed layout for the land owned by CM-Co. Land Builders Company and is basically a portion of Southdale Third. ' Due to its .con formity to the proposed plat, the preliminary plat must be processed in the normal procedure. However, the sub- division is landlocked with no access and no public util- ities available to it. It is not anticipated that they will be available in the immediate or foreseeable future. What would be the future right-of-way of Jewel Drive for access to the subdivision is owned by- the Ames Community School District on the west and by two individuals on the east. None of the owners have any interest in dedicating right-of-way and putting in.the improvements." Combining Education and Industry with Hospitality Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council June 233, 1977 Page Two. Following the discussion, by a vote of 6-0 the Commission adopted the following motion: That we approve the preliminary plat contingent upon the provision of improved access and utilities to the area, and also upon meeting the normal engineering and techni- cal requirements.
