RESOLUTION NO. 12-379
RESOLUTION APPROVING WAIVER OF SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENT FOR
FINANCIAL SECURITY FOR SIDEWALKS
IN NORTHRIDGE HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION, 15"H ADDITION
FOR THE CITY OF.AMES
WHEREAS, on June 28,2011,the City Council approved the most recent revised Preliminary
Plat for Northridge Heights Subdivision,and the property owner,Uthe Development Company,is now
requesting approval of a Final Plat for the Northridge Heights Subdivision, 15t'Addition; and,.
WHEREAS, there is no financial security on file with the City Clerk's Office for sidewalks or
street trees, and as an alternative to installing sidewalks before lots are platted and homes are
constructed,the Municipal Code allows deferment of sidewalks with financial securitywhen installation
is considered premature; and,
WHEREAS, the City's past practice has been to accept a signed, written Agreement for
Sidewalk and Street Trees from the owner specifying that,in lieu of financial security,occupancy of new
structures will not be permitted by the City until the sidewalks and street trees associated with the
individual lots are installed; therefore, consistent with this practice, this condition may be waived,
allowing sidewalks and street trees to be deferred until occupancy of the structures on the abutting sites;
and,
WHEREAS,in this case,the developer has signed an Agreement for Sidewalk and Street Trees
requiring the installation of these improvements prior to occupancy or within 24 months of issuance of
a building permit.
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,Iowa,that
waiver of the subdivision requirement for financial security for sidewalks in the Northridge Heights
Subdivision, 15a'Addition, is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 10`' day of July, 2012.
