All -America City Masterpiece on the Mississippi � pp zoo�•*o 13 zoi720zoi9 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Public Hearing - Purchase Agreement Approval for Partial Sale of Hendricks Site Property to Dubuque County and City Purchase of Dubuque County Owned Parking Lot DATE: November 1, 2023 Project Manager Steve Sampson Brown is recommending City Council adopt a resolution to dispose of the described interest in real property by deed to Dubuque County, Iowa and approve the acquisition of real property owned by Dubuque County, Iowa by the City of Dubuque and approve any other related steps necessary to carry out the terms of the Offer through the adoption of the enclosed resolution. The December 16, 2019, Development Agreement by and among the City of Dubuque, Roshek Property, LLC, Cottingham & Butler, Inc. and Heartland Financial USA, Inc. requires the City to build a parking structure of no less than five hundred (500) parking spaces within a certain area of downtown in the City of Dubuque. In November 2022, City of Dubuque, Roshek Property, LLC, Cottingham & Butler, Inc. and Heartland Financial USA, signed a fourth amendment to the Development Agreement which required that when a Roshek Building parking shortage occurred, the City shall construct a parking structure of not less than 500 parking spaces. The Roshek Building parking shortage is defined as the date when 85% of the physical parking spots in the Iowa Street, 5th Street, Locust Street, and Central Avenue Ramps are leased/permitted by the City. After an investigation by City staff of potential sites for the parking structure that met the requirements of the Development Agreement, the Hendricks Feed & Seed Co., Inc. property at 880-890 Central Avenue was selected. On May 20, 2021, the City Council approved the Offer to Buy Real Estate for the Hendricks Feed & Seed Co. Inc, located at 880 and 898 Central Ave, for these properties to be used for a future Downtown Parking Ramp. Based on the recent work of Walker Consulting as part of the Smart Parking and Mobility Management Plan a Roshek Building parking shortage does not currently exist and therefore plans to construct a 500 space parking ramp at the Hendricks site have been indefinitely paused and funds redirected to renovate Five Flags Center. Dubuque County has recently expressed interest in purchasing the brick commercial buildings located on the former Hendricks site which are located at 880 and 898 Central Avenue. City staff have worked with the Hendricks site parking garage consultant Desman Design Management of Chicago, IL to determine that the ground space taken up by the brick buildings located at 880 and 898 Central Avenue is not required in order to build a 500 space parking ramp at some point in the future. The City will retain ownership of the warehouse building located adjacent to White Street and the vacated alley because that land will be needed for constructing a parking ramp in the future. As part of the condition of sale for 880 Central and 898 Central Avenue to Dubuque County, Dubuque County at the same time will be transferring ownership to the City of their 22-space parking lot located at the northwest corner of the intersection of White and 8t" Streets. The land being used by the County parking lot is required for construction of the future parking ramp so that the ramp can run north to south across the eastern half of the block. The proposed ramp would have a capacity for 531 vehicles on 6 parking levels with a maximum roof height of 73 feet. To accomplish the transfer of properties between the City and County the attached Purchase Agreement has been drafted. The purchase agreement requires the following: • Purchase price for the 22-space County parking lot is $1.00 • The agreement for the existing billboard located on the County parking lot will transfer to the City. • After purchase, the City agrees to maintain the 22-space parking. • County will be allowed exclusive use of the 22-space parking, but only at times when County employees are working. Outside of times when the County employees are working, the 22 spaces shall be available to City as part of its parking system. • Purchase price for the buildings at 880 & 898 Central Avenue is $1.00 • The utilities laterals that currently serve both the brick buildings and the warehouse building will be separated by the City. Until such a time, the utility bill costs will be shared proportionally between the City and County. • City maintains an easement along the back 17 feet of the lots that are being sold to the County. In the future when a parking ramp will be constructed, the back 17-foot easement will convert to a sale of land to the City, and the City will pay for removing the portion of the existing building and loading dock within the easement area. • City shall provide County 2-years advanced notice of intent to construct a parking facility. Deconstruction of the brick building must happen in an odd numbered year because the buildings will be used for voting in elections. . • City and County agree to share access to the existing parking lot abutting Central Avenue that is being sold to the County so that the City may maintain access to its warehouse loading dock bays. • City shall pay for replatting of the lots at the time of future sale for converting the future parking structure easement to a land sale to the City. City will have access to the existing parking lot abutting Central Avenue for use as a temporary construction staging area to facilitate construction of the future parking ramp. Right of First Refusal for each entity to purchase each other's property. If the County seeks purchasers for the lots they are purchasing from the City, the City shall have right of first refusal to purchase back the lots at their appraised value. If the City seeks purchasers for the lots, it is maintaining ownership of in order to construct a future parking ramp, the County shall have a right of first refusal to purchase at their appraised value. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. v Mic ael C.
