INTRODUCTION
The enclosed material provides for City Council acceptance of public sanitary sewer
main improvements that the developer, Geisler Family Realty Company (dba Geisler
Brothers Company), have recently completed across Part of Lot 1 of Dubuque Industrial
Center 14t" Addition, in the City of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa.
BACKGROUND
In 2002 MAR Holdings (Medical Associates) purchased property from Dubuque
Initiatives in Dubuque Industrial Center at the northwest corner of the Northwest Arterial
and Chavenelle Road. Medical Associates proposed plans to do preliminary grading on
the property to prepare for the development of the land for office/medical buildings and
parking lots. The grading plans showed that a significant volume of soil would need to
be removed from the site. In order to save on material hauling costs, Medical
Associates (MA), Dubuque Initiatives (DI), and Geisler Brothers Company (GBC)
agreed that MA could haul the fill to the DI property behind the GBC property at 1500
Radford Road. GBC and DI have been discussing a possible sale of DI land to GBC for
an easterly expansion of the existing GBC building. The fill from the MA site would
accommodate the proposed eastward building expansion.
Because the proposed fill on the DI property would cause the existing public sanitary
sewer on the DI property to be greater than the City's maximum allowable depth, the
City required that the existing public sanitary sewer and associated easement be
relocated outside of the proposed fill area (to the east of the fill area but still on DI
property).
In the Fall of 2021, the City of Dubuque, Dubuque Initiatives, Medical Associates, and
Geisler Brothers Company, entered into an agreement for the relocation of the existing
public sanitary sewer. The agreement provided for the engineering design and
relocation of the public sanitary sewer (by GBC), the platting (by GBC) and granting of a
new sanitary sewer easement (by DI) to accommodate the new sewer alignment, the
abandonment of the old sewer (by GBC), and the vacation of the old sewer easement
(by City).
The public sanitary sewer was recently relocated by the owners as per the agreement.
The new sanitary sewer construction has been inspected and approved by Engineering
Department staff. The City of Dubuque will own and maintain the relocated public
sanitary 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.
The owners have requested City's acceptance of the improvements across Part of Lot 1
of Dubuque Industrial Center 14t" Addition, in the City of Dubuque, Dubuque County,
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.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution accepting the public
sanitary sewer improvements across Part of Lot 1 of Dubuque Industrial Center 1411
Addition, in the City of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa.
