The cemetery has a recorded boundary and layout for plots, but the eastern side of the property where the maintenance area is located is a remainder area that was created through the deed transfer process long ago and a survey is needed at this time to establish boundaries due to proposed improvements; and, WHEREAS, there was approximately 400 feet of frontage along E 13th Street identified for the conveyance area. The Parks and Recreation Department requested a full waiver of the 400 feet of frontage or for a partial waiver of a segment of sidewalk; and, WHEREAS, the City's subdivision code is designed to ensure gaps in infrastructure are resolved with new development, the proposed sidewalk would not connect well to any existing sidewalk system and enhance access to the property. Additionally, staff believed that due to the topography and the unusual conditions of a planned trail to eventually be undertaken by the City, a full waiver can be approved. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa, that a full waiver of sidewalk installation requirements for 400 feet of frontage along East 13th Street due to topographic and unusual condition, thereby authorizing the Planning and Housing Director to approve the final Plat of Survey is hereby approved. ADOPTED THIS 13th day of May, 2025. _________________________________ ___________________________________ Renee Hall, City Clerk John A.
