Vacating Petition - Kerper Boulevard
INTRODUCTION
This is in response to a request from Thomas Luksetich and Steve Smith
representing Talass, L.L.C., for the vacating of a portion of Kerper Boulevard.
DISCUSSION
The attached plat shows the proposed portion of Kerper Boulevard to be vacated.
The abutting properties are owned by Thomas Luksetich and Steve Smith.
The area to be vacated is divided into one lot numbered Lot lA of Block 13 of River
Front Subdivision No. 3 in the City of Dubuque, Iowa. Lot lA of Block 13 of River
Front Subdivision No. 3 is a portion of the existing 175-foot long, 20-foot wide
public right-of-way on which public utilities can exist. Perpetual easement rights
will be reserved on the entire Lot lA of Block 13 of River Front Subdivision No. 3
for maintenance of any existing and future public and private utilities.
With reservation of the entire lot for utility easements, the property has been valued
at $1.25 per square foot, for a total of $13,200. A credit for surveying and platting
of $450 established a purchase price of 912,750.
RECOMMENDATION
The City has no plans for the utilization of this portion of Kerper Boulevard to be
vacated, except for reserving the utility easements as noted.
I would recommend that the area indicated by Lot tA of Block 13 of River Front
Subdivision No. 3 on the attached plat be vacated, and that a public hearing be set
for the disposition of the City's interest in the subject area on February 19, 2001. I
would further recommend that the purchase price be established at 912,750, plus
platting, publication and filing fees.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The recommendation of the City Manager should be approved and a public hearing
should be scheduled on the disposal of the property through adoption of the
enclosed resolutions and ordinance.
