ITEM # 15 & 16
DATE: 08-28-12
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: FOUNTAINVIEW SUBDIVISION, SECOND AND THIRD ADDITIONS
MINOR SUBDIVISION FINAL PLAT
BACKGROUND:
Dickson Jensen of The Ridge at Fountainview, LLC is requesting approval of two final
plats dividing existing parcels in the Fountainview Subdivision. The Final Plat for the
Second Addition divides Parcel B into two lots. The Final Plat for the Third Addition
divides Parcel C into three lots.. Attachment 1 shows the subject site in its current
configuration. The total area of both subdivisions is 9.8 acres. A copy of the plat is
included as Attachment 2.
All of the property is zoned Residential High Density (RH). Site plans have been
submitted for eight apartment buildings with a total of 204 units. The site is located in a
larger area with similar zoning and uses and represents the only remaining
undeveloped properties. A platted open space of 2.5 acres is east of these properties.
Full utilities exist to serve this site, so no public improvements are needed. These two
plats provide an easement across the front of these lots for private utility service
connections from the existing public utilities to the apartment buildings. The plats also
provide storm water flowage easements to accommodate surface flow in swales to
collection points, in addition to the existing storm water flowage easement on the west
end of the property. Stormwater throughout the Fountainview Subdivision is collected
and conveyed to a central detention area, a pond which is an amenity in the
neighborhood.
The sidewalk and street trees along the south side of Maricopa that were approved with
the Preliminary Plat will be competed with development of each lot in these Plats. The
Agreement specifically ties completion of the sidewalk along existing Outlot E to the
development of Lot 1 of the Second Addition. The proposed Final Plats comply with the
approved Preliminay Plat and all conditions of approval of the Preliminary Plat have
been met previously.
The City Council is asked to determine compliance with the applicable law found in
Attachment 3. Analysis of the proposed subdivision plat demonstrates compliance with
zoning and subdivision standards.
Based upon the analysis of City staff, the City Council may conclude that both
Final Plats conform to relevant and applicable design and improvement
standards of the Ames Municipal Code Chapter 23 (Subdivisions), to other City
ordinances and standards, to the City's Land Use Policy Plan, and to the City's
1
other duly adopted plans.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council must act separately on each Final Plat.
1. The City Council can approve the Final Plat for Fountainview Second Addition and
approve the Final Plat for Fountainview Third Addition.
2. The City Council can deny the Final Plat for Fountainview Second Addition and deny
the Final Plat for Fountainview Third Addition..
3. The City Council can refer this request back to staff or the applicant for additional
information to be returned not later than the City Council meeting of September 25,
2012.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The proposed Minor Final Plats for Fountainview Second and Third Additions are
consistent with the existing zoning, as well as the subdivision and zoning regulations.
The proposed plats would allow the completion of the development of the Fountainview
area according to the City Council's land use policies.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council accept
Alternative #1, thereby approving the Final Plat for Fountainview Second Addition and
approving the Final Plat for Fountainview Third Addition.

ATTACHMENT 3: APPLICABLE LAW
The laws applicable to this case file are as follows:
Code of Iowa, Chapter 354.8 states in part:
A proposed subdivision plat lying within the jurisdiction of a governing body shall
be submitted to that governing body for review and approval prior to recording.
Governing bodies shall apply reasonable standards and conditions in accordance
with applicable statutes and ordinances for the review and approval of
subdivisions. The governing body, within sixty days of application for final
approval of the subdivision plat, shall determine whether the subdivision
conforms to its comprehensive plan and shall give consideration to the possible
burden on public improvements and to a balance of interests between the
proprietor, future purchasers, and the public interest in the subdivision when
reviewing the proposed subdivision and when requiring the installation of public
improvements in conjunction with approval of a subdivision. The governing body
shall not issue final approval of a subdivision plat unless the subdivision plat
conforms to sections 354.6, 354.11, and 355.8.
Ames Municipal Code Section 23.303(3) states as follows:
(3) City Council Action on Final Plat for Minor Subdivision:

amended or superseded. Upon receipt of any Final Plat forwarded to it for review
and approval, the City Council shall examine the Application Form, the Final Plat,
any comments, recommendations or reports examined or made by the
Department of Planning and Housing, and such other information as it deems
necessary or reasonable to consider.
(b) Based upon such examination, the City Council shall ascertain whether the
Final Plat conforms to relevant and applicable design , and improvement
standards in these Regulations, to other City ordinances and standards, to the
City's Land Use Policy Plan and to the City's other duly adopted plans. If the City
Council determines that the proposed subdivision will require the installation or
upgrade of any public improvements to provide adequate facilities and services
to any lot in the proposed subdivision or to maintain adequate facilities and
services to any other lot, parcel or tract, the City Council shall deny the
Application for Final Plat Approval of a Minor Subdivision and require the
Applicant to file a Preliminary Plat for Major Subdivision.
