RE: Waiver of Sidewalk and Street Tree Requirement — Sturges Subdivision
Dear Mayor and City Council Members of Ames,
Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation is asking for a waiver of the required
sidewalk and street tree agreement and fee with regards to the Sturges
Subdivision, First Addition. Prior development plans have already accounted
for and agreed to future construction of a 10-foot-wide trail in the right-of-
way of Hyde Avenue along the eastern boundary of the Sturges Subdivision.
Furthermore, waiver of the fee will allow for additional resources to aid in the
protection and enhancement of the greenspace which is planned for Outlot A
in the Sturges Subdivision.
We appreciate your consideration and respectfully ask for waiver of the
sidewalk and tree requirement.
Sincerely,
Joseph A. McGovern
President
Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation
