Home My WebLink AboutA009 - Council Action Form dated December 20, 2022 ITEM#: 7 DATE: 12-20-22 DEPT: P&H COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: MAJOR FINAL PLAT FOR QUARRY ESTATES SUBDIVISION, SIXTH ADDITION BACKGROUND: The City's subdivision regulations are included in Chapter 23 of the Ames Municipal Code. Once the applicant has completed the necessary requirements, including provision of required public improvements or provision of financial security for their completion, an application for a "Final Plat" may then be made for City Council approval. After City Council approval of the Final Plat, it must then be recorded with the County Recorder to become an officially recognized subdivision plat. The Final Plat must be found to conform to the ordinances of the City and any conditions placed upon the Preliminary Plat approval, Quarry Estates LLC, represented by Kurt Friedrich, has submitted a final major subdivision plat for Quarry Estates Subdivision, Sixth Addition. Quarry Estates is a Conservation Subdivision that lies north of Ada Hayden Heritage Park as shown on the location map in Attachments A & B. The most recent final plat, Fifth Addition, was approved in October 2021. This is the final addition of Quarry Estates. The Sixth Addition includes 26 single-family detached lots and 1 outlot totaling .79 acres (Outlot A) as open space with utility and conservation easements. (Attachment C). The Sixth Addition includes the construction of the remainder of Ketelsen Drive between McFarland Avenue and Ada Hayden Road, All of the proposed 26 single family lots in the sixth addition will be accessed from Ketelsen Drive. Many of the required improvements in the Sixth addition including a portion of the street paving and foundation, sanitary sewer, public water, and storm sewer system, have been completed and inspected. Financial security in the amount of$89,880 has been provided for the remaining public improvements to still be completed, which include the remaining street pavement, sidewalks, conservation management and streetlights within this phase. The City Council is being asked to accept the signed Improvement Agreement with financial security for those improvements. Financial security can be reduced by the City Council as the required infrastructure is installed, inspected, and accepted by the City Council. A Conservation Management Plan update is a requirement of the Subdivision Code for this Addition. The Conservation Management Plan (CMP), prepared by Inger Lamb of Prairie Landscapes of Iowa, details the installation, long-term maintenance, public outreach and education, and lawn care coordination of the prairie and woodland areas. 1 An updated CMP reflecting the Sixth Addition was required and has been accepted by the Municipal Engineer. The developer is required to comply with a Pre-Annexation Development Agreement that requires payment of costs for sewer and water connection districts for each lot in the Addition. The estimated payment for this addition is $36,778.38. The developer will provide the funds to the City prior to December 20. Payment is required prior to approval of the Final Plat. As the final addition of the subdivision, there are not additional infrastructure improvements required. Note that the part of the street assessment related to Hyde Avenue construction is continued to be paid on an annual basis as it has an assigned value to an outlot in the subdivision. The subdivision is in compliance with the conditions of the preliminary plat and annexation agreement. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the Final Plat of Quarry Estates Subdivision, Sixth Addition, based upon the staff's findings that the Final Plat conforms to relevant and applicable design standards, ordinances, policies, and plans with a Public Improvement Agreement, sidewalk deferral, and financial security, subject to receipt of the connection fees prior to December 20. i 2. Deny the Final Plat for Quarry Estates Subdivision, Sixth Addition by finding that the development creates a burden on existing public improvements or creates a need for new public improvements that have not yet been installed. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: City staff has evaluated the proposed final major subdivision plat and determined that the proposal is consistent with the master plan and preliminary plat approved by City Council and that the plat conforms to the adopted ordinances and policies of the City as required by Code and other agreements i ! Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above.
