SUBJECT:HARRISON POINTE SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND
FINAL PLAT
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
Keystone Equity Group (KEG) has an Option Agreement (entered into with the City on May 27,
2025) to purchase the City-owned land at the intersection of Harrison and Welbeck, subject to
completing a Development Agreement and development entitlements including a Major
Subdivision Final Plat.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Major Subdivision Final Plat, Public Improvements
Agreement, and Development Agreement as the final steps in completing the requirements of
the Option Agreement in order to complete the purchase of the property and develop 12
workforce housing units.
At the January 27, 2026 City Council meeting, the Council approved a rezoning to Floating
Suburban – Residential Low Density (FS-RL) with a Planned Unit Development (PUD),
Preliminary Plat, and Major Site Development Plan for the development of 12 workforce
housing units. As with all subdivisions, Final Plat approval is needed to complete the
development approval process.
The Final Plat includes all 12 lots for the single-family attached homes, ranging between 0.04
and 0.06 acres, and an outlot containing the private street, open space, and stormwater
management areas (see attached). Reduced lot sizes and frontage were approved as
deviations as part of the PUD and allow for individual lots to be created, which in turn allows
for the units to be ownership housing.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS:
As the City still owns the subject property, public improvements including sidewalks
and extension of a sanitary sewer and water main on site and installation of a new
public sidewalk along Welbeck Drive have not occurred. Financial security in the
amount of $103,665 has been provided for these improvements.
City Council is being asked to accept the Improvement Agreement with financial
security for those improvements. Financial security can be reduced by the City Council as
the required infrastructure is installed, inspected, and accepted by the City.
The street within Harrison Pointe is a private street. It is not included in the financial
security for Public Improvements. Private streets and alleys are permitted if they are
designed and constructed to meet Iowa Statewide Urban Design and Specifications
(SUDAS) standards and the City’s supplemental design standard requirements
regarding pavement profile, base, and drainage. Maintenance and access agreements are
1
also required. A certificate from a professional engineer verifying the private streets meet the
design specifications is required after construction of the street and prior to occupancy of the
units.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT:
The Option Agreement between KEG and the City for purchase of the property is contingent
on execution of a Development Agreement prior to closing. City Council is being asked to
accept the Development Agreement, see attached. The Development Agreement includes
provisions based upon the original Memorandum of Understanding for the development,
approved on March 25, 2022. The agreement included three mandatory limitations on the
developer:
Enact a covenant requiring the units to be owner-occupied
A Covenant has been provided that the housing units must be the primary residence of
the owner. No rental of the homes is allowed. The covenant is in effect for 21 years.
Construct homes as all-electric with air source heat pump products approved by City
Staff
Planning and Ames Electric staff reviewed heating and cooling options for an all-electric
air source heat pump system with the developer. Staff ultimately accepted a Carrier
brand unit as being appropriate for both quality and efficiency. The model selected is in
the upper mid-tier of air source heat pump and air handler options. Although not a cold
climate rated unit, the overall design appears to perform well for our climate and will rely
upon electric back-up heat when needed in the winter. The developer had previously
used lower-tier equipment for other builds and this will be their first use of these systems.
The builder also intends to meet the whole home "net-zero ready" Ames Electric Rebate
requirements, including wiring in the garage to have a Level II charger installed by a
homeowner. A Net Zero Ready home rebate is worth $3,000.
Impose an initial sales price limit for each home not to exceed an average of $300,000
The developer is building two types of housing, six single-car garage attached units and
six double-car attached units. The agreement allows for a sales price maximum of
$279,999 for the single-car units and $319,999 for the two-car units. The average price
is $299,999 for all 12 units.
Initially the developer believed the sales prices individually may be below $300,000 for
all units, but the developer stated to staff that the higher grade heating and cooling
equipment, site design, and site improvement costs added unanticipated costs
compared to their March 2025 proposal. City Council can find the proposed average
sales price as being in compliance with MOU referenced in the Option Agreement.
2
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Based upon the findings that the Final Plat conforms to relevant and applicable design
standards, ordinances, policies, and plans, along with the Option Agreement provisions,
the City Council can approve the following:
a. Resolution approving the development agreement for Harrison Pointe Subdivision
b. Resolution approving the Final Plat of the Harrison Pointe Subdivision
c. Resolution accepting the Public Improvements Agreement for completion of public
improvements and Financial Security of $103,665.
2. Refer the development agreement back to staff with direction to modify the terms and
return for approval on April 14 and defer the final plat and improvement agreement to
that meeting. The developer would have to agree to extend the purchase agreement to
April 14 for a revised development agreement.
3. Deny the proposed development agreement and related Final Plat as not meeting City
requirements and subdivision standards.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The proposed Major Final Plat is consistent with the Major Site Development Plan and
Preliminary Plat approved by City Council as part of the rezoning with PUD. The Major
Final Plat conforms to the adopted ordinances and policies of the City as required by
Code and other agreements, including the allowance for financial security to complete
public improvements.
A Development Agreement, as required by the Option Agreement with KEG to purchase
the site, and an Improvement Agreement have been provided. KEG is required to
provide executed copies prior to Council action on the plat and accepting these
documents. Staff believes the Development Agreement addresses all the requirements
of the Option Agreement, including owner occupied covenant, all electric home design,
and sale price caps.
Once approved, KEG and the City will close on the property. KEG plans to begin construction
this spring. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council
adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above.

Document prepared by:

Agreement, acceptable to the City, that imposed certain requirements, conditions and restrictions
upon the Developer and the Site to constitute good and valuable consideration; and
NOW THEREFORE, the Parties herein have agreed and do agree as follows:
I. DEVELOPER OBLIGATIONS
1. Developer shall impose a restrictive covenant upon the proposed subdivision, to be known
as Harrison Pointe Subdivision, which requires all housing to be the primary residence of
the titleholder (owner-occupied housing), which covenant shall not be modified,
terminated, or diminished without the written consent of the City of Ames. Said covenant
shall meet the approval of the City, in its sole discretion, and shall be recorded at
Developer’s expense. As a condition of issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any home
or unit, the City may require submission of (a) an Owner-Occupancy Affidavit signed by
the titleholder confirming intend to occupy the property as the primary residence within 60
days of closing, and (b) proof of homestead or equivalent filing withing 90 days after
occupancy.
2. Developer shall commence construction upon the Site no later than September 1, 2026.
3. Developer shall obey all laws affecting the development of the Site and shall develop the
project in accordance with City standards and requirements.
4. All homes and/or units constructed upon the Site shall be sold or marketed for sale to
original first-generation owner-occupants for a purchase price of less than (i) $279,900 for
single-car garage three-unit attached townhomes; (ii) $319,900 for double-car garage bi-
attached townhomes; or (iii) $300,000 for any other type of unit that may be constructed
(each the respective Sale Price Cap). It is not the Parties’ intention to create a covenant
capping the price or value of a property. As a condition of building permit final approval
or certificate of occupancy, the City may require, in its sole discretion, that the Developer
submit a City-approved closing disclosure or executed purchase agreement summary
demonstrating a price at or below the Sale Price Cap together with an attestation that no
side agreements, seller concessions, or related-party payments increase the effective
purchase price above the Sale Price Cap.
5. All homes and/or units constructed upon the Site shall be all electric with no natural gas
heating, appliances or fireplaces allowed. Developer shall be required to install and utilize
6
Carrier products as shown on Exhibit ‘A’ attached hereto, or their equivalent, as may be
allowed in writing by the Director of Planning & Housing in his sole discretion.
6. Upon written default, the Developer or applicable owner shall have 30 days to cure a non-
monetary default (or commence cure and diligently pursue to completion where cure
cannot reasonably be completed within 30 days), and 10 days to cure any monetary
default. The City may seek specific performance and injunctive relief to compel
compliance with the terms of this Agreement and prohibit continued or future violations,
without the necessity of demonstrating irreparable harm or posting bond. For each sale or
marketing above the Sale Price Cap, the Developer, or the party responsible for the
violation shall pay liquidated damages equal to the amount by which the sale/marketing
price exceeded the applicable Sales Price Cap plus the City’s reasonable costs of
enforcement. The Parties acknowledge that the foregoing amounts are a reasonable
estimate of damages that would be difficult to ascertain at the time of contracting and are
intended as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.
7. In the event of default, the City may withhold or revoke building permits, certificates of
occupancy, and inspections for the affected lot(s) or unit(s) and may suspend review
of subsequent phases of development until the default is cured. If a unit or owner is in
violation of the Covenants at any time prior to complete cure, that unit shall be ineligible
for any discretionary City incentives associated with the Project during the period of
noncompliance.
II. CITY REQUIREMENTS
1. The City shall maintain the opportunity for the Developer to apply for the Ames Municipal
Electric Net Zero Ready New Home Rebate. However, nothing herein shall obligate the
City to grant said rebate if Developer fails to apply or does not otherwise qualify for the
rebate, or if the Developer does not otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement,
nor shall the City be obligated to offer the program or extend the program.
2. The City shall make available the Citywide Ownership Housing Urban Revitalization Area
5-Year property tax abatement program to the owner-occupants under its existing terms.
Nothing herein shall require the City to grant tax abatement to an applicant for a home
completed after December 2027, or for an application that does not otherwise qualify for
tax abatement or that does not otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement.
7
III. NON-INCLUSION OF OTHER IMPROVEMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is made and executed in contemplation
of Developer’s preparation of a plan for development, without review or approval of the
specific required plans for development of the Site. The intent of the Parties to this Agreement
is that the improvement obligations addressed above are not an exhaustive list of public
improvements that may be required by the City for the subject Site. The parties acknowledge
and agree this Agreement is not intended to anticipate or enumerate the infrastructure and code
requirements that may be imposed by the City for the development of the Site. The Parties
acknowledge, understand and agree that all work done by and on behalf of the Developer with
respect to other improvements, including but not limited to, building design, building
construction, and utilities, both on-site and off-site, shall be made in compliance with the Iowa
Code, SUDAS, and all other federal, state and local laws and policies of general application,
including but limited to building and zoning codes, whether or not such requirements are
specifically stated in this Agreement.
IV. COVENANT WITH THE LAND - MODIFICATION
This Agreement may not be modified without the written consent of all Parties thereto.
Developer shall not assign any of its obligations under this agreement without the written
consent of the City. The terms of this Development Agreement shall run with the land and shall
be binding upon successors and assigns of the Parties, unless expressly stated otherwise.
Any request by Developer or a successor owner to modify or terminate any covenant shall
be submitted in writing to the City with supporting documentation demonstrating: (a) the
specific relief requested; (b) the factual basis and good cause; (c) that the requested change is
consistent with the purposes of this Agreement; and (d) proposed alternative measures; if any,
to maintain the public benefits intended by the covenants. The City may approve, approve with
conditions, or deny such a request in its sole discretion where applicable under the Agreement
following such administrative review and public consideration as the City deems appropriate.
Any approval shall be in a written instrument executed by authorized City officials and
recorded against the affected property. If the City is required to file any action to enforce the
Covenants herein, it shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable costs to maintain said
action provided that the City prevails. The remedies herein are cumulative and in addition to
any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity. No delay or failure by the City to
enforce any covenant shall constitute a waiver or estoppel as to any past, present, or future
violation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this instrument to be executed
effective as of the date first above written.

HARRISON POINTE
(OFFICIAL REPLAT OF LOT J, BLOOMINGTON HEIGHTS WEST PLAT 3)
FINAL PLAT
17

Attachment C: Applicable Subdivision Law
The City’s subdivision regulations are included in Chapter 23 of the Ames Municipal Code. Once the
applicant has completed the necessary requirements, including provision of required public improvements
or provision of financial security for their completion, a “final plat application” may then be submitted for
City Council approval. After City Council approval of the final plat, it must then be recorded with the
County Recorder to become an officially recognized subdivision plat. The final plat must be found to
conform to the ordinances of the City and any conditions placed upon the preliminary plat approval.
Ames Municipal Code Chapter 23, Subdivisions, Division I, outlines the general provisions for subdivisions
within the City limits and within two miles of the City limits of Ames.
Ames Municipal Code Section 23.302(10):
(10) City Council Action on Final Plat for Major Subdivision:
(a) All proposed subdivision plats shall be submitted to the City Council for review and
approval. Upon receipt of any Final Plat forwarded to it for review and approval, the City
Council shall examine the Application Form, the Final Plat, any comments, recommendations
or reports examined or made by the Department of Planning and Housing, and such other
information as it deems necessary or reasonable to consider.
(b) Based upon such examination, the City Council shall ascertain whether the Final Plat
conforms to relevant and applicable design and improvement standards in these
Regulations, to other City ordinances and standards, to the City's Land Use Policy Plan and
to the City's other duly adopted plans.
(c) The City Council may:
(i) deny any subdivision where the reasonably anticipated impact of such subdivision
will create such a burden on existing public improvements or such a need for new public
improvements that the area of the City affected by such impact will be unable to
conform to level of service standards set forth in the Land Use Policy Plan or other
capital project or growth management plan of the City until such time that the City
upgrades such public improvements in accordance with schedules set forth in such plans;
or,
(ii) approve any subdivision subject to the condition that the Applicant contribute to so
much of such upgrade of public improvements as the need for such upgrade is
directly and proportionately attributable to such impact as determined at the sole
discretion of the City. The terms, conditions and amortization schedule for such
contribution may be incorporated within an Improvement Agreement as set forth in
Section 23.304 of the Regulations.
(d) Prior to granting approval of a major subdivision Final Plat, the City Council may permit
the plat to be divided into two or more sections and may impose such conditions upon
approval of each section as it deems necessary to assure orderly development of the
subdivision.
(e) Following such examination, and within 60 days of the Applicant's filing of the complete
Application for Final Plat Approval of a Major Subdivision with the Department of Planning
and Housing, the City Council shall approve, approve subject to conditions, or disapprove
the Application for Final Plat Approval of a Major Subdivision. The City Council shall set
forth its reasons for disapproving any Application or for conditioning its approval of any
Application in its official records and shall provide a written copy of such reasons to the
developer. The City Council shall pass a resolution accepting the Final Plat for any
Application that it approves.
