RESOLUTION APPROVING DOMANI I SUPPLEMENTAL DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT FOR COTTONWOOD ROAD EXTENSION
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, the Domani I Subdivision is located along Green Hills Drive south of
Oakwood Road. The first two phases are nearly completed and the developer desires to
proceed with the Final Platting of the 3rd Addition. The Phasing Plan for Domani requires
the extension of Cottonwood Road as part of the third phase; and,
WHEREAS, as part of the City Council efforts from December 2025 to incentivize
additional residential development, the City Council agreed on February 10 to take on the
obligation of the construction of Cottonwood Road with the final platting of the remaining
23 lots within the final phase; and,
WHEREAS, the agreement relieves the developer of the requirement to construct
the Cottonwood extension with the 3rd Addition subject to the following:
1. The Developer completes the construction of Green Hills Drive and
Lunetta Drive within the 3rd Addition by August 11, 2029 at their sole cost.
2. The Developer provides to the City complete improvement plans with
plans and specifications for the City to bid the paving of Cottonwood Road,
including the extension of utilities as specified, by January 1, 2027. The
agreement includes an exhibit identifying the scope of work; and,
WHEREAS, if the Developer meets these requirements, they do not have to incur
the cost of constructing of Cottonwood Road. The City of Ames will have the responsibility
to construct Cottonwood once the Green Hills extension is complete. The City is
additionally responsible for the cost of streetlights within the Domani Third Addition to
help balance out the developer incentive value because of the cost of the Green Hills
intersection improvement; and,
WHEREAS, the City will have the responsibility for the improvement regardless of
the final cost of the project. The exact timing of constructing the extension is subject to
the discretion of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the Domani I Supplemental Development Agreement for the Cottonwood Road
Extension is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 11th day of August, 2026.
