RESOLUTION APPROVING PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR 5120 TABOR DRIVE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, the 1.96-acre property at 5120 Tabor Drive is owned by Pinnacle
Properties Ames, LLC. On June 23, 2026, Council approved a rezoning of this property from
Agricultural (A) and a small portion of Floating Suburban – Residential Low Density (FS-
RL) to Floating Suburban – Residential Low Density (FS-RL) with a Master Plan. The
recently approved Master Plan limits the site to only single-family detached homes; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed Preliminary Plat subdivides the property into five lots,
intended for single-family development, with a 0.89-acre outlot (Outlot ZZ) for future
development; and,
WHEREAS, as an infill site, no public improvements are required for the five lots.
Water services and sewer services will occur from Tabor. Storm drainage is planned to be
accommodated on the Hope Lutheran Church site to the south per prior agreements; and,
WHEREAS, within FS-RL zoning, all development, regardless of size, must address
a 10% open space standard. The determination of appropriate open space was deferred
from the Master Plan approval to review of the preliminary plat. The developer intends to
satisfy the 10% open space requirement for FS-RL by joining the Sunset Ridge
Homeowners Association in lieu of setting aside area on this site; and,
WHEREAS, staff has reviewed the Preliminary Plat for Tabor Development. The
design and proposed improvements have been found to meet the City's minimum design
standards in Chapter 23, Subdivision Code, and the FS-RL zoning. The Plat was also
reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission, which unanimously supported the
proposal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the Preliminary Plat for 5120 Tabor Drive is hereby approved, conditioned upon
proof that the property is part of the Sunset Ridge HOA as dues-paying properties for the
purpose of meeting open space set-aside requirements.
ADOPTED THIS 14th day of July, 2026.
