RESOLUTION APPROVING PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR
4098 E 13TH STREET
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, the subject site is owned equally by Todd Reuter along with Jordan Elwell
Properties,LLC,who request approval of a two lot Preliminary Plat for 55.18 acres located at 4098
East 13th Street. A rezoning with Master Plan was approved in July, which rezoned the property
from Planned Industrial (PI) with the Northeast Gateway Overlay (O-GNE) to General Industrial
(GI)with a Master Plan and no overlay; and,
WHEREAS, utilities will be extended into the subdivision along East 13th Street including
water and sanitary sewer to serve both lots. Water service already exists along the west boundary
of the site. The developer proposes to utilize a planned City extension of a sewer line along E 13th
Street from Dayton Avenue to 570th Street adjacent to this site. The proposed extension is currently
out for bid, with bids due September 20. The developer would be required to make any extension
of infrastructure needed if the City project does not match the preliminary plat; and,
WHEREAS,the preliminary plat includes a proposed grading plan for building areas upon
each lot and for conveyance of storm water runoff to treatment areas. A stormwater detention
facility is planned at the southwest corner of the site that will serve both lots of the development.
The stormwater management plan complies with City design requirements subject to the property
owner providing confirmation of federal Army Corps of Engineers concurrence that there are no
jurisdictional waters of the United States present on the site. Site improvements,including grading,
will be limited until there is confirmation by the Army Corps; and,
WHEREAS, the site is part of rural water territory buyout agreement with the Iowa
Regional Utilities Association for service by the City from 2016. The Ames Municipal Code
23.404 states the City Council may require proof of buyout and a territory transfer prior to
preliminary plat approval. The applicant has not yet completed this step and requests the
preliminary plat be approved with outstanding buyout terms to be resolved prior to final plat. Staff
supports deferring this territory transfer requirement due to the existing water buyout agreement
that is already in place for this property; and,
WHEREAS, on September 6, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to
recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat at 4098 East 13th Street to the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the preliminary plat for 4098 E 13th Street is hereby approved, subject to future City Council
approval of the extension of the offsite sanitary sewer to the site with the following conditions:
A. Defer rural water territory buyout and transfer requirements to final plat approval.
B. That the E 13th Street Sewer Extension Project for extension of the trunk line to 5701h Street
is approved by the City Council prior to approval of Final Plat with a condition that any
length of sanitary sewer trunk extension that is not included in the City's approved
extension will be the requirement of the property owner to connect to the City's extension
and then extend across its property frontage.
C. Grading and site improvements are subject to conformance to the final storm water plan as
approved by the City's Municipal Engineer.
ADOPTED THIS 12th day of September, 2023.
