COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT FOR HACH SUBDIVISION
SECOND ADDITION.
BACKGROUND:
The property owners are requesting that the Final Plat for Hach Subdivision Second
Addition be approved.
The property in question includes one existing lot at the northwest corner of Bell Avenue
and East Lincoln Way. The entire area of the Hach Subdivision Second Addition includes
9.54 acres. The property is currently zoned "GI" (General Industrial District).
The applicants are proposing to subdivide the 9.54-acre site into two lots(see attached plat
drawing). Lot 1 will be 6.29 acres and will contain a detention pond for utilization as an
area-wide detention facility. Lot 2 will be 3.25 acres and will be available for future
industrial development.
With this Final Plat, the property owners are granting an easement to the City of Ames to
allow for the maintenance of the shorelines, storm sewer outlets, and emergency spillway
for erosion control only, within the detention pond on Lot 1. The property owner will be
responsible for mowing and any other maintenance of Lot 1.
Vehicular access to both lots will be provided from Bell Avenue. Lot 2 has frontage and
access along Bell Avenue. Lot 1 has frontage along East Lincoln Way, however, no
vehicular access will be permitted to Lot 1 from East Lincoln Way. Access to Lot 1 will be
provided from Bell Avenue, across Lot 2,via a cross-access easement. The applicant has
submitted the required cross-access easement documents.
There are no public improvements to be installed with this Final Plat, as public sewer and
water are already installed, Bell Avenue and East Lincoln Way are existing streets, and the
City Council has previously granted a waiver to the requirement for the construction of
sidewalks along Bell Avenue and East Lincoln Way with the approval of the Hach
Subdivision First Addition.
As a result of this review, staff has determined that the Final Plat for Hach Subdivision
Second Addition should be approved.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can approve the Final Plat for Hach Subdivision Second Addition.
2. The City Council can approve the Final Plat for Hach Subdivision Second Addition,
with modifications.
3. The City Council can deny approval of the Final Plat for Hach Subdivision Second
Addition.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative#1.
This will approve the Final Plat for Hach Subdivision Second Addition.
