Matt Rasmussen explained this is a 100% voluntary annexation for the City of Ames consisting of 156.56 acres. The City of Ames received voluntary annexation petitions from eleven property owners representing eighteen parcels that comprise of the annexation territory. The parcels are located south of the current city limits between University Boulevard/530th Avenue and Cedar Lane. The annexation area includes land used for agricultural purposes and land developed with single-family homes. The City has a policy that annexations be consistent with the LUPP and the Ames Urban Fringe Plan. The Ames Urban Fringe Plan designates the land area as "Urban Residential". Land within the "Urban Residential" designation is planned for future annexation into the City with development of urban densities and design standards. If approved for annexation, the LUPP designation would be "Village/Suburban Residential", allowing for a broad range of residential development types. City infrastructure, consisting of water and sanitary sewer mains, have been constructed for properties currently within the City boundaries adjacent to the north, east and west boundaries of the proposed annexation territory. Extension of infrastructure to serve all properties within the annexation area will be necessary as development occurs, and as individual properties choose to hook-up to public water and sanitary sewer. |

Staff Reports |
Matt Rasmussen reported that he’s had a few discussions with folks about potential annexations coming to Board in future, but there is nothing on the table as of today. The other litigation matter is a declaratory judgement action that a group of residents filed against the plaintiffs in the defamation case and the City Development Board. Emily filed a motion to dismiss the Board from that second action and the Board did get dismissed so we are not a party to that case anymore, but we are still following it. |
