Easements
INTRODUCTION
This is in response to a request from Brian J. Kane, representing John P.
and Letha A. Mithalakis and Richard L. and Cindy Billmeyer, for the vacating
of various easements in regard to the sate of property at Kerper Boulevard
and Kerper Court to the U.S. Postal Service.
DISCUSSION
The attached releases affect property proposed to be purchased by the U.S,
Postal Service legally described as Lot 5 of Kerper Industrial Park and Lot 2
of FDL Second Addition all in the City of Dubuque, Iowa. This area lies west
of Kerper Boulevard and north of 16th Street and has recently been filled to
provide development.
This )roperty is currently owned by John P. and Letha A. Mihalakis and
Richard L. and Cindy Billmeyer. When portions of this property were
originally sold to Dubuque Packing Company, certain easement rights were
reserved for storage of surface water, storm water, overflow sewage,
utilities, power lines, storm and sanitary services, temporary dumping
grounds and embankment slopes as indicated on the attached easements. A
portion of these easements Encumber said Lots 2 and 5.
Current platting in the area has defined specific areas for easements
necessary for storm and sanitary sewers and utilities. Other easements for
storage of surface water, storm water, overflow sewage, and temporary
dumping grounds are no longer required due to development of the area.
The easements to b~ reteased are as follows:
Resolution No. 775-52 filed as Instrument No. 3132-72 and modified
by Resolution Nos. 208-72 and 175-72 filed as Instrument Nos. 5001-
72 and 5000-72 respectively, concerning:
Temporary or permanent storage of surface water, storm water,
or overflow sewage.
Right-of-way for utilities or power lines.
Construct or maintain storm and sanitary sewers.
Right to use for temporary dumping grounds.
Grant of easement to construct and maintain embankment slopes and
to flow water across said lands as may be necessary for dredging
operations filed in Book 159TL, Page 550, and modified by Resolution
208-72 and 175-72 and filed as Instrument No. 5001-72.
The request to release a "Flood Control Easement" over the southerly 1,300
feet of Lot 2 of 2 of River Front Subdivision No. 4 dated September 21,
1972 and filed as Instrument No. 7298-72 cannot be released since storm
sewer piping currently exists at this location and is of vital importance to the
operation of the floodwall control structure.
In conjunction with the release of the above easements, the U.S. Postal
Service requests written confirmation that the City intends to maintain its
existing flood control program with respect to the real estate proposed to be
purchased.
The City has not previously committed to such an agreement or letter.
Affording the U.S. Postal Service a level of guarantee over and above the
other property owners in the area may cause the City undue liability. The
City will continue to operate and maintain floodwall property to prevent
damages to private property as it has done in the past.
RECOIVIIViENDATION
The City does not have a need for the above easements, and I would
recommend approval of the request to vacate the easements as indicated on
the attached releases. I would recommend that the vacating of the
easements be set for public hearing on April 16, 2001.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The recommendation of the City Manager should be approved and a public
hearing should be scheduled on the disposal of the property through adoption
of the enclosed resolutions.

Dear Barry:
We have now received confirmation from the U.S. Postal Service
that, in conjunction with the above transaction, the Postal Service
desires the release of all of the easements identified in title
commitment exceptions 14, 15, and 28. We previously forwarded to
you proposed Releases of Easement related to these items. We
attach copies of those items for your reference.
We want these releases to be placed on the city council agenda
for the March 19 council meeting to set a public hearing thereon
for the next council meeting.
The Postal Service also wants to receive a letter from the
City indicating that the City intends to maintain its existing
flood control program, at least with respect to the real estate to
be sold to the Postal Service. We attach draft language related to
such a letter for your consideration. ~_
We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Best regards,
