MAJOR FINAL PLAT FOR TABOR RIDGE
BACKGROUND:
The 1.96-acre property at 5120 Tabor Drive (Attachment A) is owned by Pinnacle Properties
Ames, LLC. On July 14, 2026, Council approved the Preliminary Plat for this property
(Attachment C). It divides the property into five lots, intended for single-family development,
with a 0.89-acre outlot (Outlot ZZ) for future development. Each of the five single family lots is
at least 9,200 square feet and has at least 77 feet of frontage.
Outlot ZZ is proposed with only 45 feet of frontage to support future development. Staff has
discussed a variety of configurations with the applicant and noted access is a limiting factor for
the future development of this outlot. The outlot is not designated for any specific conservation
or tree protection requirements by the approved Master Plan or the approved preliminary plat.
At the time of the preliminary plat approval, no open space set aside was identified for
the subdivision. The developer indicated that the property would be incorporated into
the Sunset Ridge HOA and had preliminary approval for including the site in the HOA.
As of the time of this writing, no written confirmation of this agreement had been
received by staff. Staff will continue to communicate with the applicant prior to the
meeting to receive this information.
The Final Plat includes public improvements for service lines to the properties from existing
main lines. Security of $17,745 is provided for these improvements along with street trees and
sidewalks. A standard sidewalk and street tree deferral agreement is included with the Final
Plat.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the Final Plat with acceptance of the Sidewalk Deferral Agreement and
accepting the public improvements agreement and financial security.
2. Deny the Final Plat for Tabor Ridge on the basis that the Council finds that the plat does
not comply with the Master Plan, or creates a burden on existing public improvements or
creates a need for new public improvements that have not yet been installed.
3. Refer this request back to staff or the applicant for additional information.

Regulations in Ch. 23, Ames Plan 2040, other adopted City plans, ordinances and
standards. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council
approve Alternative 1, as described above.
