DATE: March 9, 2026
INTRODUCTION
This memo provides information regarding the platting and reservation of right of way
(fee ownership) along portions of West 5th Street, West 6th Street, Main Street, and the
City Alley just West of Main St., as part of the Gronen Development, Inc. Mixed -use
Building Project at the corner of West 5th and Main Streets.
BACKGROUND
The City executed a Development Agreement with Gronen Development, Inc. last year
on March 17, 2025 for the development of a mixed -use building at the corner of 5th and
Main Streets. The project will provide 8,000 square feet of first -floor commercial space
and at least eighty (80) rental residential units at an investment of approximately
$24,000,000.
DISCUSSION
Since the execution of the Development Agreement, the Gronen team has worked with
City staff and identified an additional small area of land (which we are referring to as the
"Notch") that is required to "square off" the northeast corner of the property. In order for
the City to convey that property, a First Amendment to the Development Agreement is
required. The Amendment has been prepared in order to allow for the following:
• Adding new land to the project (the "Notch").
• Establishing easement areas and revocable and irrevocable license areas.
• Imposing new infrastructure, utility, and permitting obligations.
• Establishing required bonding, inspections, and platting procedures.
• Creating mechanisms for early site access.
Page 162 of 811
All other terms and conditions of the original Development Agreement remain
unchanged.
In this area of the original City of Dubuque, the adjacent lot owners own to the
centerline of the street and the City holds only a right of way easement. The City of
Dubuque will dedicate and reserve the subject right of way areas unto itself prior to the
vacation and disposal of the "Notch" property to Gronen.
Origin Design has prepared a plat of survey for right of way dedication (also known as
an acquisition plat) to provide the City's reservation of right of way areas. The areas
being platted will be dedicated and reserved by the City for street right of way and public
utility purposes. This is being done in anticipation of the First Amendment to
Development Agreement which is scheduled to be reviewed and approved at public
hearing by the City Council on the March 23, 2026. This is the first step in the process
for the fee title land conveyance and vacation for the "Notch" property to Gronen. A
public hearing for the street vacation and subsequent disposal of the "Notch" property
will follow. The attached Exhibit A shows the right of way dedication/reservation areas
and the "Notch" property.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council approve the Plat of Survey for Right of Way
Dedication (Acquisition Plat) of City Lot 62A and City Lot 6213, in the City Of Dubuque,
Iowa, by the adoption of the attached resolution.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
I respectfully request approval of the Plat of Survey for Right of Way Dedication
(Acquisition Plat) of City Lot 62A and City Lot 62B, in the City Of Dubuque, Iowa, and
acceptance of the dedication and reservation of said lots for street right of way and
public utility purposes, through the adoption of the enclosed resolution.
