RESOLUTION APPROVING PRELIMINARY PLAT
FOR 525 & 901 SE 16TH STREET
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, East Meadows Subdivision is a proposed 76.15-acre development located on
the north side of SE 16th Street, east of the Meadow Lanes Estates Mobile Home Park and north
across the street from Menards; and,
WHEREAS, the development site is zoned Highway Oriented Commercial (HOC) with an
Environmentally Sensitive Overlay due to the location of the floodway within the project
boundaries. Outlot C has Agricultural zoning with the Overlay; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed preliminary plat seeks approval of creating six buildable lots
and three outlots. Approximately 22.1 acres of the overall site are available for development with
the six buildable lots; and,
WHEREAS, the west portion of the proposed subdivision is located within the boundaries
of the 100-year flood plain for the Ioway Creek. Development in the floodway fringe is allowed if
the elevation of the building site is a minimum of three feet above the 100 -year base flood
elevation. Filling of the site to raise the elevation has been occurring in recent months in
preparation of future development, although no specific development is proposed at this time; and,
WHEREAS, the east portion of the proposed subdivision is located within the boundaries
of the 100-year flood plain for the Ioway Creek and the Skunk River. No development is proposed
in this area since it is within the floodway portion of the flood plain, which is reserved for the
flowage of storm water; and,
WHEREAS, City staff has reviewed the proposed plat and find it conforms to the
requirements of the Ames Subdivision Regulations in meeting infrastructure requirements with
appropriately designed lots for commercial use. Prior to final plat approval, the applicant will seek
additional permits for flood plain improvements and each site development permit will also require
individual flood plain permits.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the Preliminary Plat for 525 & 901 SE 16th Street is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 26th day of November, 2024.
