Subject: Release of Financial Security for Amy and Corey Schmidt Sidewalk, 4004
and 4008 Cochrane Parkway
On November 14, 2023, in conjunction with a Boundary Line Adjustment, Council
granted a deferral of sidewalk installation at 4004 and 4008 Cochrane Parkway. Ames
Municipal Code Chapter 23 Subdivisions requires the extension of a sidewalk when
only partial frontage improvements exist prior to approval of a Boundary Line
Adjustment. As an alternative to constructing an improvement prior to platting, deferral
can be requested to postpone the sidewalk installation until after approval of a plat.
Cash security covering the estimated cost is to be provided.
As part of the initial deferral, the sidewalkâs installation was to be completed within 13
months of the Planning Director's approval of the plat (by December 28, 2024).
Construction was to occur concurrently with the construction of a pool.
Due to construction delays, the owners requested an additional nine-month deferral
until August 28, 2025. This request was granted by Council on December 10, 2024.
The sidewalk has been completed and the installation approved. Please process the
release of $3,073 to:
Amy Schmidt
4008 Cochrane Parkway
Ames, Iowa, 50014
Please let me know if I can provide additional information or assistance.
