COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT:
Resolution Approving a Revised Conceptual Development Plan (CDP) for
the Third Addition o"xSgkuaw V, ; �gSuthS�rhdrris�m
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting approval of a 17-lot-single-family residential
subdivision, which is located in Story County, approximately 1-3/4 miles
north of the corporate limits of the City of Ames on .the north side of
Cameron School Road. This subdivision contains 32.6576 acres of land.
The developer is requesting approval of a revised Conceptual Development
Plan to' obtain approval of the proposed Administrative Plat for the Third
.Addition to Squaw Valley South Subdivision. The proposed "Third Addi-
tion" is inconsistent with the original intent of the Squaw 'Valley Prelimi-
nary Plat approved by the City -in 1977. Therefore, approval of a revised
CDP is necessary before the Administrative Plat for the "Third Addition"
can be approved.
The Preliminary Plat approved by the City in 1977 shows Pleasant View
Road and Mathews Road extending to the east boundary of the subdivision,
see attached. The Revised Conceptual Development Plan shows Pleasant
View Road ending approximately 475 feet west of the original location.
Mathews Road is also shown as ending approximately 475 feet west of its
original location. A sixty (60) foot wide right-of-way easement is planned
for the eventual extension of Mathews Road to the east.
On July 30, 1990, the Story County Planning and Zoning Commission
approved the preliminary plat for the Third Addition to Squaw Valley
South Subdivision, and they recommended approval of the Conceptual
Development Plan to the City of Ames.
ANALYSIS:
Land Use Policy Plan. The Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) Map designates
this property as suitable for Low-Density Residential development at a
density of 1-9 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density in the
"Third Addition" is 1.92 dwelling units per acre.
Zoning History. This property is zoned R-1 (Residential) under Story
County zoning. This zoning district is intended for single-family residen-,
tial development.

Utilities. No City utilities are available since this subdivision is located
outside the Municipal Urban Service Area (M.U.S.A.) beyond the corporate
limits of Ames in Story County.
The M.U.S.A. is the area which includes land that is presently served 'by
public utilities and the area where extensions of existing utilities are
planned in the future.
Privately owned and maintained package plants in this subdivision provide
for sewage treatment and water utilities for this subdivision. The pro-
posed Third Addition will connect to these private utility systems.
Streets and Vehicular Access. Lots 1. through 16 will be provided with
access to private streets within the subdivision, to be maintained by the
homeowners association in this subdivision. Lot 17 will have access
directly onto Cameron School Road, a County road south of the subdivi-
sion.
A sixty (60) foot wide street right-of-way easement is shown on Lots 4
and 5 to assure future access to future divisions of Lot 17, east of Lots 4
and 5.

Zoning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting of August 15,
1990, and recommended that it be approved.

Plan (CDP) for the Third Addition to Squaw Valley South Subdivi-
sion.
