RE: Bowling & Beyond Dubuque, Inc.
Agreement to Terminate Leases and Approval of Payment for Agreement
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum presents for City Council consideration a resolution to set a public
hearing on October 15, 2012 to consider the proposed Agreement to Terminate Leases
(the "Agreement ") with Bowling & Beyond Dubuque, Inc. ( "Bowling & Beyond ").
The proposed Agreement would allow the City to regain control and possession of the
property located at 1860 Hawthorne Street, the location of Bowling & Beyond, for further
redevelopment and reinvestment.
BACKGROUND
On August 6, 2012, the City Council passed Resolution of Necessity No. 207 -12, finding
that areas adjacent to the existing Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District meet the
definition of an economic area under the Urban Renewal Law, Iowa Code Chapter 403,
and that development of these areas is necessary in the interest of the residents of the
City of Dubuque. The property where Bowling & Beyond is located (the "Property ") is
one of these adjacent areas.
•
A public hearing is set for October 1, 2012 on a proposed Amended and Restated
Urban Renewal Plan. If the City Council chooses to adopt the proposed Resolution
Approving the Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown
Urban Renewal District on October 1, 2012, the Property will be included in the newly
expanded Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District (the "District ").
The Property was originally leased on a long -term basis by the City of Dubuque through
its Board of Dock Commissioners to Riverside Bowl, Inc. on May 2, 1958. At that time,
the flood wall was not yet built, and the Property was constantly at risk of flooding. As
OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DUBUQUE, IOWA
SUITE 330, HARBOR VIEW PLACE, 300 MAIN STREET DUBUQUE, IA 52001 -6944
TELEPHONE (563) 589 -4381 / FAx (563) 583 -1040 / EMAIL mquann @cityofdubuque.org
the area in which the Property is located has been developed and protected by the
floodwall, this lease has become disadvantageous and much less profitable than
possible for the City.
City staff was approached by Bowling & Beyond about buying out or terminating its
leasehold interest in the Property. After lengthy negotiations, it was determined that the
consideration for terminating the leasehold interest would be $1,000,000.00 (the
"Purchase Price "), paid over the course of twenty (20) years, without interest, as follows:
$50,000.00 at closing and $50,000.00 annually on the anniversary of the closing until
the Purchase Price is paid in full. The City would execute a promissory note for the
remaining balance of the Purchase Price after the initial payment is made at closing.
Under Iowa Code Sections 384.24A, 384.24(3)(q), and 384.25, which are attached, it is
appropriate that the governing body hold a public hearing to discuss entering into this
Agreement, and that notice of the public hearing be published in the newspaper at least
ten (10) days prior to the public hearing.
DISCUSSION
Terminating Bowling & Beyond's leasehold interest and regaining possession and
control of the Property would be beneficial for the following reasons:
• According to an appraisal performed by Felderman Appraisals, the fair market
value of the land and building is $2,118,000.00. The City has been offered the
opportunity to buy out or terminate the leasehold interest, thus owning the land
and building outright, for $1,000,000.00, over $1,000,000.00 below fair market
value.
• The current Bowling & Beyond leases for the Property are long -term leases that
do not expire until 2058 and only generate annual rental for the City in the
amount of $5,174.44 for the leased area of 4.5634 acres. The City pays property
taxes for the Property in the amount of $3,542.00 per year. This results in a net
rental income of $1,632.44 per year — only $357.72 per acre per year.
Terminating the existing leases would allow the City to enter into a more
beneficial lease or leases that generate significantly greater rental income for the
City.
• The Property could be redeveloped for possible City use such as office space or
other uses.
• Currently the Property is not open for business and sits unused. Reclamation of
riverfront property for further redevelopment and reinvestment is consistent with
City Council goals and the goals of the District in which the Property is included.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Setting Date for Public
Hearing on October 15, 2012 for consideration of the Agreement between the City and
Bowling & Beyond.
