RESOLUTION APPROVING WAIVER OF SUBDIVISION STREET CONNECTION
REQUIREMENTS ALONG GW CARVER AVENUE IN THE BLUFFS SUBDIVISION
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, staff reviewed the request from Dover Development for a waiver to
the Subdivision standards in Section 23.403(9)(b) to allow an access from their property
to GW Carver Avenue which is an arterial street; and,
WHEREAS, new access points on arterials are prohibited to discourage private
access on busy streets. In this case, however, the proposed access will be the only
access from a larger property along GW Carver Avenue and will comply with all SUDAS
regulations for spacing from other access points and intersections in the area; and,
WHEREAS, staff is supportive of allowing the waiver with final design to be
determined prior to Final Plat approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the waiver request for arterial street access standards in Section 23.403(9)(b)
from Dover Development to allow an access on GW Carver Avenue from their property
with final design of the connection being approved prior to Final Plat approval is hereby
approved, conditioned developer paying for all roadway improvements necessitated by a
traffic study and on-site stop control.
ADOPTED THIS 24th day of March, 2026.
