RESOLUTION APPROVING EASEMENT CREATING LEGAL ACCESS FOR
ALLIANT ENERGY TO CONSTRUCT AND MAINTAIN THE PROPOSED GAS MAIN
ON CITY OF AMES PROPERTY AT 601 S. MAPLE AVENUE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, Alliant Energy owns a gas main that crosses Ioway Creek at South 4th
Street. The main is attached to the existing roadway bridge at this location. The proposed
construction of a new pedestrian bridge directly adjacent the roadway bridge has created
a need for Alliant Energy to relocate the gas main from the bridge ; and,
WHEREAS, Alliant has proposed a new alignment for the gas main, which extends
south down South Maple Avenue, west through City of Ames owned property at 601 S
Maple Avenue, underneath Ioway Creek, and into privately owned property at 1400 S 4 th
Street. The new alignment will require an easement to facilitate the access to construct
and maintain the gas main running through 601 S Maple Avenue ; and,
WHEREAS, the approval of the easement will resolve the conflict caused by the
proposed construction on the South 4th Street pedestrian bridge. The re-alignment of the
main will make it so any future bridge construction will not conflict with the gas main.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the easement creating legal access for Alliant Energy to construct and maintain
the proposed gas main through 601 S Maple Avenue is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 26th day of August, 2025.
