RESOLUTION APPROVING WAIVER OF STANDARDS FOR A PLAT OF SURVEY
TO CREATE A NEW PARCEL FOR AN EXISTING HOME SITE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, Brian Foltz, on behalf of Dave Lowman of Lowman Bros. Inc. and Walnut
Creek Ltd. Partnership in Story County, submitted a request to waive the Rural Subdivision Policy
in order to subdivide two existing sites into parcels smaller than 35 acres; and,
WHEREAS, any division of land within two miles of the City of Ames is subject to review
for conformance to the City’s Subdivision Code or for consideration of a waiver of City standards;
and,
WHEREAS, the subject properties are located south of the City of Ames at the southern
edge of the two-mile jurisdictional boundary; and,
WHEREAS, as it is unlikely the subject properties will be incorporated into the City of
Ames in the near future, staff supports the waiver of the subdivision standards and minimum lot
size for the proposed 14.8-acrea parcel with an agricultural restriction on the portion of the land
not designated for the proposed farmstead.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the waiver of standards for a Plat of Survey to create a new parcel for an existing home site is
hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 25th day of February, 2025.
