RESOLUTION APPROVING VACATION OF ELECTRIC UTILITY EASEMENT
AT 2214 LINCOLN WAY FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, there is an electric utility easement obtained in 2022 on the property located
at 2214 Lincoln Way; and,
WHEREAS, the property owner made a request to vacate the easement. During the
installation of a buried electric line across the property in June 2023, it was determined by Electric
Services engineering staff that the location of the buried electric line needed to be changed to
prevent possible damage to a retaining wall on the Memorial Lutheran Church property. The
change was made, and the line was installed in an alternative alignment. A new electric utility
easement was obtained from Memorial Lutheran Church over the actual location of the buried
electric line. The electric utility easement obtained in 2022 is no longer valid and should therefore
be vacated; and,
WHEREAS,pursuant to Iowa Code Section 364.7, notice was given on August 22, 2023,
and a public hearing is being held regarding the proposal of the City to vacate the easement; and,
WHEREAS,vacation of the easement is in the best interest of the City.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AMES, IOWA THAT:
1. Pursuant to Iowa Code Section 364.7,publication of notice regarding the proposed
vacation of the public utility easement and establishing a public hearing date regarding the
