INTRODUCTION
The enclosed material provides for City Council acceptance of the public improvements
that the owner, St. Raphael's Cathedral, has recently completed across part of the Bluff
Street Right of Way between West 2nd Street and Emmett Street, in the City of
Dubuque, Iowa.
BACKGROUND
The property owners have recently made site improvements to their property at Bluff
and Third Street. The improvements included upgrades to the existing parking lot,
driveways, and storm water drainage. A public storm sewer was installed along Bluff
Street by the owners in order to accommodate the new parking lot drainage
improvements. The new storm sewer construction has been inspected and approved
by Public Works and Engineering Department staff. The City of Dubuque will own and
maintain the new public storm sewer utility.
DISCUSSION
The Subdivision Ordinance requires that upon completion of all the required public
improvements, the subdivider shall notify the City in writing of the completion of the
improvements, requesting that the City either approve or reject the acceptance of the
improvements, together with a statement of reasons for any rejection.
On January 14, 2022, the owners requested City's acceptance of the storm sewer
improvements across part of the Bluff Street Right of Way between West 2nd Street and
Emmett Street, in the City of Dubuque, Iowa, in the City of Dubuque, Iowa. Upon
inspection by the City, it has been determined that the public improvements required by
said agreement have been completed in accordance with plans approved by the City
Staff and in conformance with City specifications.
RECOMMENDATION
I would, therefore, recommend that the City Council accept the public improvements as
described above and as shown on the attached map. The City of Dubuque will be
responsible for maintenance of the public improvements as of the date of acceptance by
City Council.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution accepting the public
storm sewer improvements across part of the Bluff Street Right of Way between West
2nd Street and Emmett Street, in the City of Dubuque, Iowa.
