RESOLUTION APPROVING ESTABLISHMENT OF 5-FOOT PUBLIC UTILITY
EASEMENT ON THE EASTERLY PROPERTY LINE OF
LOT ‘J’ OF BLOOMINGTON HEIGHTS WEST PLAT 3
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, Lot ‘J’ remains in City ownership, but is recorded as public street right-
of-way. This designation has prevented the Story County Auditor from assigning a Parcel
ID, limiting the City's ability to dispose of or develop the property; and,
WHEREAS, on May 27, 2025, the City Council approved an Option Agreement
with Keystone Equity Group for the development of 12 ownership housing units on this
parcel. In order to proceed, the parcel must first be vacated as right-of-way; and,
WHEREAS, a Public Utility Easement (PUE) will be established over the easterly
5 feet of Lot ‘J’, as indicated on the attached exhibit, to accommodate existing public
utilities present on the lot and to match existing PUEs on the adjacent parcels.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the establishment a 5-foot public utility easement on the easterly property line
of said parcel is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 8th day of July, 2025.
