SUBDIVISION
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
An existing 10 foot public utility easement (PUE) is located within Discovery Place 2nd
Addition Subdivision. The PUE was created along with the original platting of Iowa State
University Research Park Third Addition. It was created to facilitate utility access to the lots in
the area. Discovery Place 2nd Addition created new PUEs to facilitate different alignments of
utility access. The new PUEs provide the same utility access to the area that the original PUE
provided. City staff have reviewed the existing PUE and concur that it is now no longer
necessary and does not have any utilities located within it.
The purpose of this resolution is to set the date of hearing to vacate the existing public
utility easement located within Discovery Place 2nd Addition.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Set July 28, 2026, as the date of public hearing for vacation of the easement.
2. Direct staff to make further changes to the easement area.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
A new public utility easement, with a different alignment, has been created to facilitate
utility access. No existing utilities are known to exist within the existing easement.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative
No. 1, as described above.
