INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution and ordinance provide for the approval of the attached survey
plat and vacating of Wall Street, Tower Street, East 6th Street and adjacent alleys all
east of Bell Street, which provides for future platting required for the hotel, water park,
convention center, and the adjacent parking areas as outlined in the Development
Agreement with Platinum Hospitality Group, LLC.
DISCUSSION
To complete the agreements with Platinum Hospitality Group, LLC, a legal description
for the parcels of land to be leased and developed needs to be prepared.
The public streets and alley east of Bell Street need to be vacated in order to
consolidate those areas with surrounding lots to properly configure the lease areas.
The areas to be vacated are:
· Wall Street east of Bell Street
· East 6th Street east of Bell Street
· Tower Street from East 6th Street to Wall Street
· A 20-foot wide alley north of East 6th Street from Bell Street to Tower Street
· A 15-foot wide alley south of East 6th Street from Bell Street to Lot 1 of Riverwalk
3rd Addition
IIW Engineers & Surveyors, PC has prepared a Plat of Survey of the areas to be
vacated and assigned lot numbers thereto.
The City is the property owner of all abutting lands. Existing utilities in the street right-
of-way are being rerouted as part of the new development plans. As platting and
development occurs, new easements will be granted for utilities.
The Dubuque County Recorder requires an "Owner's Consent" certificate to be attached
to all plats recorded in Dubuque County.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that the attached Plat of Survey be approved and that the Mayor be
authorized and directed to sign the plat on behalf of the City.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the enclosed resolution and ordinance.
