Home My WebLink AboutA005 - Council Action Form dated December 13, 2022 ITEM # 42 DATE: 12-13-22 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: MINOR SUBDIVISION FINAL PLAT FOR COMPASS SUBDIVISION PLAT 2 BACKGROUND: Randy R Mumm & Teresa S. Mumm, Trustees of a Revocable Trust are requesting approval of a Final Plat for Compass Subdivision Plat 2, a minor subdivision that would divide Lot 1 into two lots. Compass Subdivision was recorded as Instrument No. 2021- 12005, containing 0.78 acres (see Attachment B — Proposed Final Plat). A minor subdivision includes three, or fewer, lots and does not require additional public improvements. A minor subdivision does not require a Preliminary Plat and may be approved by the City Council as a Final Plat, only, subject to the applicant completing the necessary requirements. Following City Council approval, the Final Plat must then be recorded with the County Recorder to become an officially recognized subdivision plat. Lot 1 is bounded by S. Kellogg Avenue and S. 16th Street and is addressed as 200 S. 16th Street. Lot 1 includes approximately 33,888.46 square feet (.78 acres) and is addressed as 200 S. 16th Street. The eastern side of Lot 1 is occupied by Scooters Coffee; the western side is vacant. The proposed division into two lots will include Lots 1 & 2 of Compass Subdivision Plat 2 with Lot 1 (Scooters) having 19,831.97 square feet (.46 acres) and Lot 2 having 19,831.97 square feet (.46 acres). Lot 1 will continue to have frontage on S. 16th Street. Lot 2 will have frontage on both S. 16th Street and S. Kellogg Avenue. Lot 1 includes access from an "L" shaped cross-access easement that extends to both S. 16th Street and S. Kellogg Avenue. Lot 2 is accessed through Lot 1 via a proposed ingress/egress easement that connects to the "L" shaped cross-access easement. Associated with the Plat is an Easements document which describes the location of all easements including all utility easements as well as the proposed ingress/egress easement. The proposed subdivision is located within the "HOC" (Highway-Oriented Commercial) zoning district. The proposed subdivision alters the development requirements, as each of the lots must meet zoning requirements for the occupancy and use of its site. As a result, both Lot 1 and Lot 2 were evaluated to determine that each lot as proposed is in full compliance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the Highway Oriented Commercial District as well as the Subdivision Ordinance. No adjustments were needed to maintain compliance with the prior site plan approval. Development upon the new vacant lot will be subject to conformance with development requirement at that time. 1 Public utilities serve both parcels. Sidewalks were required as part of the approved plans for Northwest Bank. The sidewalk has been constructed along Kellogg. The sidewalk planned along South 16t" Street is deferred and incorporated into the City's improvement project. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City Council can approve the final plat for Compass Subdivision Plat 2, based upon the findings and conclusions stated above. 2. The City Council can deny the final plat for Compass Subdivision Plat 2, if the City Council finds that the proposed subdivision does not comply with applicable ordinances, standards or plans. 3. The City Council can refer this request back to staff or the applicant for additional information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION: The proposed final plat for Compass Subdivision Plat 2 is consistent with the City's existing subdivision and zoning regulations. The provision of the 24-foot ingress/egress easement ensures the site meets access requirements upon recording of the final plat and easement document. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council accept Alternative #1. 2 Attachment A Location & Zoning Map E m m It SUBJECT PROPERTY 4-!� S 16TH S7 S 16TH; rT ;��' — F—r !T PAS 16TH STT a% r' TT 200 WWI C HOCWAS w, � R v LLL r dl o � i 1g :�-Ipcpp A r I total 1604 S K Bogg Ave Compass Subdivision Plat 2 Zoning & Location Map N 3 Attachment B Proposed Final Plat of Compass Subdivision Plat 2 FINAL PLAT COMPASS SUBDIVISION, PLAT 2 LOCATION: LOT I COMPASS SUBDIVISION R CY bF AMES,STORY COUNTY,IOWA PROPRIETOR: RANDY R.MUMM AND TERESA S.MUMM REVOCABLE TRUST DEVELOPER: RANDY MUMM SURVEYOR: R.BRADLEY STUMBO,PLS#17161 FOX STRAND AMES,IA 50010 515-233-0000 S.16TH STREET(ROW VARIES) NE COR.LOT 1 NW COMPASS SUED.

The governing body, within sixty days of application for final approval of the subdivision plat, shall determine whether the subdivision conforms to its comprehensive plan and shall give consideration to the possible burden on public improvements and to a balance of interests between the proprietor, future purchasers, and the public interest in the subdivision when reviewing the proposed subdivision and when requiring the installation of public improvements in conjunction with approval of a subdivision. The governing body shall not issue final approval of a subdivision plat unless the subdivision plat conforms to sections 354.6, 354.11, and 355.8.

(b) Based upon such examination, the City Council shall ascertain whether the Final Plat conforms to relevant and applicable design and improvement standards in these Regulations, to other City ordinances and standards, to the City's Land Use Policy Plan and to the City's other duly adopted plans. If the City Council determines that the proposed subdivision will require the installation or upgrade of any public improvements to provide adequate facilities and services to any lot in the proposed subdivision or to maintain adequate facilities and services to any other lot, parcel or tract, the City Council shall deny the Application for Final Plat Approval of a Minor Subdivision and require the Applicant to file a Preliminary Plat for Major Subdivision. 5
