COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: MINOR SUBDIVISION FINAL PLAT FOR SAFLY SUBDIVISION
BACKGROUND:
Jody McCaskey is,requesting approval of a final plat for Safly Subdivision within the two
mile fringe area. The proposed subdivision is located at 1512 XAvenue, approximately two
miles southwest of Ames in rural Boone County. A location map is found in Attachment 1.
At the March 1, 2011, meeting the City Council approved Mr. McCaskey's request for a
waiver of the design and improvement standards (Division IV) of the Ames's Subdivision
Regulations (Chapter 23). That approval contained the conditions that an application for a
final plat and the signed covenants be submitted within six months of approval of the
waiver.
Since the City Council waived the design and improvement standards,the City retains only
its interest in ensuring the terms of the Ames Urban Fringe Plan are met. The proposed
subdivision is located in an area designated as Agriculture/Farm Services. The Plan
describes Agriculture/Farm Service as follows:
The designation encompasses large areas of highly valuable farmland, with farming
and agricultural production as the primary activity. This designation also includes
areas where the landowner has chosen not to use the land for agricultural
production. The vegetative cover of this land may be native (either original or re-
established) or introduced, but not part of the Natural Areas land use designation.
Policy 4 specifically addresses residential development within this area.
AFS Policy 4: Limit non-agricultural residences in the Agriculture and Farm
Service designation to homes existing at the time of this Plan or remaining scattered
building sites where farmstead homes once existed orhomes on very large parcels
of ground typical of the agricultural setting. Otherwise,subdivision for the creation of
new residential development lots is not supported within the Agriculture and Farm
Service designation.
Since the proposed lot is the site of a farmstead,the division of the quarter-quarter section
is consistent with the Plan. The remaining 33.5-acre lot will remain in agricultural
production as noted by its Outlot designation and the note that states this lot is "reserved
for agricultural purposes."Therefore,the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Ames
Urban Fringe Plan.
1
The applicant has signed and submitted the standard three covenants which bind the
current and future owners to: request annexation when the City asks them to, pay for any
buyout of rural water upon annexation, and agree not to contest any assessment
necessary for the installation of public improvements installed by the City.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can approve the Minor Final Plat known as Safly Subdivision.
2. The City Council can deny the Minor Final Plat known as Safly,Subdivision, based on
its own determinations.
2. The City Council can refer this back to staff and/or the property owner for additional
information.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The proposed Minor Final Plat for Safly Subdivision is consistent with the Ames Urban
Fringe Plan.'The proposed plat will allow an existing single family home to be sold
separately from the remainder of the 40-acre parcel with the stipulation that the remainder
remain as agricultural land. The terms that the City Council applied in granting the waiver
from the subdivision standards earlier this month have been met.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve
Alternative#1. Approval of the resolution will allow the Final Plat for Safly Subdivision and
accompanying documents to be recorded in the office of the County Recorder.
