DATE: 02-08-22
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: Minor Final Plat of Sturges Subdivision, First Addition
BACKGROUND:
Leroy and Sue Sturges (property owners), together with the Iowa Natural Heritage
Foundation (INHF), purchaser of Outlot A, are requesting approval of a Minor Final Plat
for 36.12 acres at 5019 Hyde Avenue in the Ames Urban Fringe (see Attachment A —
Location Map). The subdivision includes Lot 1 (approximately 4.56 acres), for the existing
Sturges home; Outlot A (approximately 30.18 acres), a natural area and flood plain that
cannot be developed without replating as a buildable lot; and Lot A (approximately 1 .38
acres), to be dedicated as street right-of-way for Hyde Avenue (see Attachment B —
Proposed Final Plat).
A minor subdivision includes three, or fewer, lots and does not require additional public
improvements other than sidewalks or a bike path. A Minor Subdivision does not require
a Preliminary Plat and may be approved by the City Council as a Final Plat, subject to
meeting the requirements of Chapter 23, Subdivisions in the Municipal Code.
The proposed subdivision is located adjacent to the current City limits of Ames in
the unincorporated area of Story County. The Ames Urban Fringe Plan designates
the land as "Urban Residential" (a subcategory of the Urban Service Area) (see
Attachment C — Excerpt of Land Use Framework Map of the Ames Urban Fringe Plan).
The 28E Agreement between the City of Ames, Story County and the City of Gilbert,
states that in areas designated Urban Services Area, the County agrees to waive the
exercise of its subdivision authority. This land use designation applies to areas reserved
for future city growth and development through subdivision is not permitted prior to
annexation into the City. The applicants request the City Council approve the Minor
Final Plat at this time, prior to the land be annexed to the City.
The deferral of annexation is due to the timing of the INHF's ability to acquire Outlot
A with funding from a specified donor. Although the current property abuts the City
and can be annexed, the timing of annexation would extend past the INHF's
deadline on their option to purchase the property and meet the donor's parameters.
This is a unique proposal to defer annexation for a property that abuts the City. The
applicant proposes to enter into an agreement for future annexation based upon
one of two conditions,whichever occurs first. Annexation would occur either when
1) Outlot A is replatted into a developable lot or 2) after March 1, 2024 at the City's
discretion. The agreement requires the owners to file the annexation application
with the City prior to recording the Final Plat so the City can act on the annexation
in the future.
Although the land is and will remain in the County at the time of Final Plat approval, the
division is subject to City of Ames subdivision standards. Since a new developable lot is
not created with the Final Plat, no new infrastructure is triggered with the division.

However, City subdivision standards require all divisions to provide for sidewalks across
a lot's frontage. In this case there is approximately 1041 linear feet of frontage on Hyde
Avenue subject to a 5-foot sidewalk improvement. The INHF is requesting waiver
(Attachment F) of the requirement to install sidewalk and post security for its
installation with the proposed subdivision. The request to waive the sidewalk
requirement is based upon the prior commitment by the developer of the Hayden's
Preserve (north of this site) to construct a 10-foot trail from 190th Street all the way to the
south side of this site within two-years of their first final plat. The developer of Hayden's
Preserve is in the process of seeking preliminary plat approval in March 2022.
Section 23.103(1),Waiver/Modification, of the Subdivision Ordinance states the following:
(1) "Where, in the case of a particular subdivision, it can be shown that strict
compliance with the requirements of the Regulations would result in
extraordinary hardship to the Applicant or would prove inconsistent with the
purpose of the Regulations because of unusual topography or other conditions,
the City Council may modify or waive the requirements of the Regulations so
that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured provided,
however that such modification or waiver shall not have the effect of nullifying
the intent and purpose of the Regulations. In so granting a modification or
waiver, the City Council may impose such additional conditions as are
necessary to secure substantially the objectives of the requirements so
modified or waived."
Section 23.403 Streets
14. Sidewalks and Walkway
(c) A deferment for the installation of sidewalks may be granted by the City
Council when topographic conditions exist that make the sidewalk installation
difficult or when the installation of the sidewalk is premature. 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 will be
accompanied by a cash escrow, letter of credit, or other form of acceptable
financial security to cover the cost of the installation of the sidewalk
Typically, a developer would have up to three years to make a required improvements
and provide financial security for its installation to be completed within three years. In this
case, staff does not prefer the installation of the 5-foot sidewalk as a 10-foot trail is actual
needed improvement and it is unlikely that constructing a 5-foot sidewalk now could be
matched up well with a second half of future path. If City Council believes this site needs
to fulfill the typical subdivision improvement requirement for a sidewalk, staff would prefer
to work with the owner to create a substitute improvement of a portion of a 10-foot trail
for approximately half of the site frontage in lieu of a complete sidewalk across the entire
frontage or to have cash in lieu for future trail improvements. If the requested waiver is
not approved, City Council will need to defer action on the Final Plat until a
sidewalk agreement and financial security or cash in lieu is provided with the Final
Plat.

The site is currently served by Xenia Rural Water. The owner can continue to stay on
rural water service for as long as they choose. The City has an agreement with Xenia for
transfer of the property as water service territory to the City at such time as the owner
wants to end service by Xenia and the land is annexed. The owner would be subject to
whatever terms Xenia has for continuing or discontinuing water service. No new rural
water services would be allowed. The proposed agreement addresses requirements for
future water and sewer connections.
Future connection to the City water system following annexation, is subject to a
connection district charge. The water connection fee as of July 1, 2022, is $1,524/acre,
with a 5% annual increase.
The site is served by a septic system which would remain under the authority of Story
County, even upon annexation. The septic system use may continue consistent with Story
County and state requirements, annexation would not trigger a requirement to connect to
City sanitary sewer. Following future annexation, the owner may choose to connect to the
City's sanitary sewer upon payment of required connection fees. According to state law,
if at any time the home is within two hundred (200) feet of a sanitary sewer system a new
or replacement septic system is not permissible, and the owner would have to connect to
the sanitary sewer. Currently, there is no sanitary sewer line within two hundred (200)
feet of the home. The sanitary sewer connection fee as of July 1, 2022, is $2,305/acre,
with a 5% annual increase.
No connection fees for water and sanitary sewer would be due with the proposed Minor
Subdivision Plat to create Lot 1 for the existing Sturges home and Outlot `A' in Sturges
Subdivision, First Addition as no new connections are made to the system.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 .The City Council may:
a. Approve the Annexation Agreement,
b. Approve the waiver of sidewalk installation requirements, and
c. Approve the Final Plat of Sturges Subdivision, First Addition, based upon the
findings and conclusions stated above.
2.The City Council may table consideration of the Final Plat of Sturges Subdivision,
First Addition, and the Annexation Agreement, until such time that the property
owners have signed a Sidewalk Agreement, or a Deferment Agreement, for the
installation of sidewalk, and provided financial security for the estimated cost of
sidewalk installation or provided cash in lieu for future sidewalk/trail construction.
3. The City Council may deny the Final Plat of Sturges Subdivision, First Addition, and
find that the proposed subdivision does not comply with applicable ordinances,
standards, or plans; and direct the property owner to apply for annexation prior to
consideration of a subdivision.
4. Refer this request back to staff or the applicant for additional information.
3
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
City staff has evaluated the proposed Final Plat and determined that the proposal is
consistent with the requirements of the Municipal Code. The applicant has signed an
Annexation Agreement for the future annexation of the proposed subdivision. Future
installation of sidewalks will occur as stated in the June 8, 2021, Addendum to the Pre-
Annexation Agreement for Hayden's Preserve (formerly Rose Prairie). Therefore, it is
the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1
as described above.

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,
c.
