Annexation Near Research Park
The Ames City Council begins at 7:00 PM March 24th. The agenda includes:
-
Item 40 -- Motion referring to Planning and Zoning Commission the Voluntary Annexation Petition for 3535 - 530th Avenue. This annexation request is in the targeted growth priority area of Ames. It is close to existing infrastructure and is within the current Fire service territory. In addition, it will be near the ISU Research Park future phases and is very close to Highway 30. Such an annexation is very efficient and will leverage many existing city services.
-
Item 41 -- Resolution approving Final Plat for Pfeffer Subdivision in Boone County. Such subdivisions could impede future growth, but very small subdivisions such as this one, can usually be accommodated without appreciable issues with future growth.
-
Item 42 -- Motion approving Advanced Analytical Technology, Inc.s (AATI) request to relocate.
-
Item 43 -- Requests from Ames Chamber of Commerce for Ames Main Street Farmers Market on Saturdays from May 2 to October 17, 2015. Another request for closing of streets for an entire summer. Council has received some feedback that for some businesses, this has been deleterious to their sales. It seems important that council be confident that this event is supported by many of businesses on Main Street.
-
Item 47 -- Discussion of City Council meeting times. Looking to make the meetings end earlier, by starting them earlier.
