RESOLUTION APPROVING CONDITIONAL WAIVER
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS FOR DAYTON RIDGE SUBDIVISION
LOCATED WITHIN RURAL STORY COUNTY
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, on September 10,2024,the City Council referred a request from Jeff Gibbons
regarding a rural 4-lot subdivision waiver. The property is 6.80 acres and is located west of Dayton
Avenue within the 2-mile subdivision jurisdiction of Ames. It is a wooded lot with a single-family
dwelling, outbuildings, and a pond. The property is located within an area of existing rural
residential development; and,
WHEREAS, the property has a Rural Character land use designation and Natural Area
under the Ames 2040 Comprehensive Plan land use map. Story County's land use map also
recognizes this land as Rural Residential. The property is proposed to be split into four lots from
the current single large lot; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed plat would create four lots which would qualify as a major
subdivision by the Ames Subdivision Code and requires conformance to City design and
infrastructure standards. This requires a Preliminary and a Final Plat approved by the City Council,
unless waived in whole or part as a rural subdivision; and,
WHEREAS, the development proposal has had the benefit of preliminary plat review by
the County to help define the details of the project, including road design, stormwater,natural area
protection, etc. to assist City staff in determining its relative conformance to City standards and
policies; and,
WHEREAS, given the nature of the surrounding area and the designated land use being for
rural character development with no intent of the City for annexation, the requested waiver for
installation of infrastructure can be found consistent with City policies for granting rural
development waivers.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the conditional waiver of preparing a preliminary plat meeting City design and infrastructure
standards, and retain approval authority of a Final Plat subsequent to receiving Preliminary Plat
approval from Story County is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 241h day of September, 2024.
