RE: Submission of Documents for Approval of Final Plat -
Third Addition to Country Estates Subdivision
Dear Madam Clerk:
Please find enclosed with this letter the following documents
related to submission of the above-referenced final plat:
1. Sixteen (16) copies of the final plat.
2 . Three (3) copies of the signed easements for utility
and other purposes.
3 . Four (4) copies of a proposed resolution to be adopted
by the City Council approving the final plat.
4 . One (1) copy of a document of consent and dedication.
You will please note that no signed copies of an agreement for
required public improvements as described under Section 23 . 17 of
the City Ordinances has been submitted. This relates to the
public improvements required as a condition of approval of the
plat and related surety bonding. As was the case with the
previous plat (Second Addition) , Story County is the governing
body who will require the completion of specified work on the
public improvements and determine the appropriate amount of
surety bond.
In addition, the improvements relate to only construction of the
roadway in this addition, which will be dedicated to public use
in favor of Story County. The City of Ames is not accepting any
dedicated public improvements under this plat because the

property lies outside of the city limits, though within the two-
mile limit. As such, it is my understanding that the agreement
for required public improvements noted under the City ordinances
is not required or appropriate. Similarly, neither the enclosed
proposed resolution nor the consent and dedication provide for
acceptance by the City of such improvements dedicated to public
use.
We are submitting these documents for approval of the final plat
at the City Council meeting which I believe is scheduled for July
11, 1995. If, after the submission has found its way through
staffing, it appears that there is any possibility that the
submission will not be considered at that meeting, I ask that the
City contact me as soon as possible.
I thank you and the other officials at the City of Ames for your
cooperation and assistance in this matter. If you have any
questions or comments with respect to any of the above, I hope
that you will feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
�&? a"qq�
