Board approves resolution on voluntary annexation to Ames for 1-acre parcel under JT Real Estate Holdings
Summary
The Board approved Resolution 25-94 accepting the voluntary annexation of a roughly 1-acre parcel into the City of Ames; staff noted deed versus survey dimension differences and a change in recorded owner name.
Story County planning staff presented a voluntary annexation to the City of Ames for a roughly 1-acre rectangular parcel owned in county records by JT Real Estate Holdings LLC, noting the county must act within 30 days of the consultation meeting under state law.
Staff told the board that state code section 368.7 governs how annexations are processed and that the county audit office recommended that the city use survey dimensions (rather than deeded dimensions) in final documents and that the owner-of-record name (JT Real Estate Holdings LLC) be reflected rather than the proprietor listed in the annexation plat (Ophir Investments LLC). Staff recommended incorporating those clarifications into the annexation documents sent to the city.
A motion to approve Resolution 25-94 was moved and seconded. The roll-call was recorded in the transcript as: “Faisal? Aye. Merkin? Aye. Edens? Aye.” The board recorded the resolution as approved. The presentation and action were procedural; staff did not propose any additional county conditions beyond the auditor’s suggested clarifications.
