Tom,
I am sending this e-mail as a follow-up to our phone conversation this afternoon about public sidewalk
requirements for the proposed Aubry Subdivision at 1519 Top-O-Hollow Road. I understand that you
wish to request a deferment of the requirement for the installation of public sidewalk required for the
proposed subdivision. Where the installation of a sidewalk is deferred by the City Council, an agreement
will be executed between the property owner/developer and the City of Ames that will ensure the future
installation of the sidewalk. The deferment agreement is to be accompanied by a cash escrow, letter of
credit, or other form of acceptable financial security [see Section 23.403(14)(a)(i) of the Municipal Code].
Please submit the following items for consideration of your request for a sidewalk deferment from the
Ames City Council:
1. A letter addressed to the Mayor and City Council requesting the granting of a deferment of the
installation of sidewalk for the proposed Aubry Subdivision, including an explanation that installation of the
sidewalk is premature;
2. A written estimate of the cost of the installation of sidewalk in the public street right-of-way for
Top-O-Hollow Road, along the entire frontage of the subdivision, which is shown as 132.42 feet on the
proposed Final Plat; and,
3. A check for the total amount of the cost of the materials and installation of the sidewalk written to
the City of Ames (Please note that this check will be cashed by the City and held in escrow for the
sidewalk improvement.);
The City Attorney's Office will prepare the sidewalk deferment agreement for signature by the property
owners, prior to consideration of your request by the City Council. A copy of this agreement will be
provided to you for your review and signature in advance of the City Council meeting.
As we discussed, the sidewalk must be constructed of concrete, be a minimum width of 4 feet, and a
minimum thickness of 4 inches, except the portion of the sidewalk that crosses the paved driveway, which
must have a minimum thickness of 6 inches. A link to the"City of Ames Driveway/Curb Cut Application"is
included below for your information.
Please contact me with any questions. We look forward to working with you to process your request for
approval of the proposed subdivision and your request for deferment of the sidewalk installation.
Thank you.
Ray
