(W 190TH STREET)
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, Hidden Creek Farms, LLC, requested approval of a Final Plat for Hidden
Creek Farms Plat One, proposed as a rural subdivision within the two-mile fringe of the City of
Ames. The proposed subdivision includes a Development Agreement and request for waiver of
certain City improvement requirements in order to be approved as a minor subdivision that would
create two lots. The Plat must also be approved by Story County per the terms of the current Ames
Urban Fringe Plan(AUFP); and,
WHEREAS, City staff has met with the property owner's representative and Story County
Planning staff over the course of several months to work through any potential conflicts related to
future site development due to its proximity to existing City developments and its designation as
an Urban Reserve Area within Ames Plan 2040. The development review process led to
preparation of a Development Agreement between the City and developer to address the proposed
waivers of City standards; and,
WHEREAS, the Development Agreement addresses conditional waivers of standards and
retains City review of a future traffic analysis, access, and stormwater. It also includes providing
for a future sidewalk connection, dedication of easements and right-of-way, and consent to
annexation.In addition,it limits development of the Lot 1 to one single-family dwelling,a religious
use, or agricultural uses allowed by Story County; and,
WHEREAS, a traffic study that includes the review of turning movements on 190th Street
will be required to be submitted prior to development of Lot 1. Access will be required to meet
spacing requirements of Story County and the City of Ames. If Outlot A were to be developed in
the future, the width would allow for a future access to align with McFarland Avenue; and,
WHEREAS, the site will not be served with city sewer or water. The site is within the
territory where service by Xenia would be allowed and required to conform to City and SUDAS
standards for water service.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
