RESOLUTION APPROVING CONVEYANCE OF THE VACATED ALLEY LOCATED
AT 325 ASH AVENUE TO ALPHA IOTA ASSOCIATION OF PHI GAMMA DELTA
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, in 1917, the Ames City Council passed Ordinance No. 294, which
vacated a north-south alley located within Lot 4 of Parker’s Addition to Ames. The
ordinance annulled the City’s interest in the alley but did not result in the formal transfer
of the vacated land to the adjoining property owners; and,
WHEREAS, a Plat of Survey recorded on February 12, 2025 , Instrument No. 25-
00967, shows the subject alley as part of Parcel “F” which is the parcel occupied by Alpha
Iota Association of Phi Gamma Delta. However, no quit claim deed has been executed to
formally transfer title of the vacated alley portion of the parcel to the Alpha Iota Association
of Phi Gamma Delta; and,
WHEREAS, conveyance of the City’s remaining interest will formalize the title and
follow past practices for similar alley vacations. The City will retain all necessary public
utility easements as documented in the recorded Plat of Survey or as otherwise required.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the conveyance of the vacated alley located within Lot 4 of Parker’s Addition
to the Alpha Iota Association of Phi Gamma Delta at no additional consideration, and
authorization of the execution of the Quit Claim Deed, with recordation by the City Clerk
contingent upon receipt of an overhead electrical easement acceptable to the City from
the property owner, are hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 18th day of November, 2025.
