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, 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. The proposed project qualifies as a minor subdivision,as the property is located within Story County and no City utility public improvements will be required pending approval of the requested waiver with the accompanying Development Agreement; and, WHEREAS, the proposed subdivision lies outside the city limits of Ames. It is currently within the Story County Study Area Overlay, which lies between 190th and 1801h Streets in the Ames Urban Fringe Plan. The site is designated as Ag and Farm Services. Per the terms of the AUFP and accompanying 28E agreement with Story County, when subdivisions in the county occur within the study area each city retains their review authority of subdivisions under state code. Additionally, as an Ag and Farm services designation, no new developable lots are to be created. With the proposed plat, there is no net increase in developable lots. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa, that the partial waiver of Subdivision Standards for Hidden Creek Farm, Plat 1 (W 190th Street) is hereby approved subject to the provisions of the accompanying Development Agreement.
