INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council approval of an agreement
with Dennis R. Walker (Walker) related to the vacation and sale of certain street right of
ways adjacent to the property at 3009 Burlington Street, Dubuque lowa.
BACKGROUND
The City of Dubuque has entered into an agreement (see agreement attached) with
Walker for the sale of City owned property to be used for proposed driveway
improvements for access to the rear yard of the adjacent property owned by Walker at
3009 Burlington Street. Walker would also utilize the space as a private yard. The
property to be conveyed to Walker includes a portion of the National street right of way
south of Burlington Street.
DISCUSSION
In working with Walker, City staff has prepared an agreement for the vacation and sale
of the properties described above. The agreed upon price for the vacation and sale of
the 6,000 square feet of National Street right of way area is $1.00. Walker will be
responsible for all surveying/platting costs, publication and filing fees. The City will
reserve a public utility easement over the entire National Street right of way area to
accommodate all existing utilities. The City will also reserve an access easement over
the easterly half of the 50' National Street right of way for maintenance of the property
and public utilities in the alley and street right of ways to the south of Burlington Street.
Within 60 days of approval of the right of way vacation by City Council, Walker is to
construct sidewalk along the Burlington Street frontage of the vacated area and after
constructed maintain said sidewalk in perpetuity according to current City codes. Within
60 days of approval of the right of way vacation by City Council, Walker is also required
construct curb and gutter along the Burlington Street frontage of the vacated area
according to current City standards. The City will reconstruct the existing non-compliant
curb ramp in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Burlington and National and
coordinate such construction with the Walker sidewalk construction.
A copy of the agreement executed by Walker is attached.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City approve the Agreement for the vacation and sale of certain
street right of way adjacent to the Walker property at 3009 Burlington Street, Dubuque
lowa per the terms of the attached Agreement.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
I respectfully request adoption of the attached resolution approving said Agreement and
authorizing the City Manager to execute said agreement.
