Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Sale of City-Owned Property at 396 West Locust Street DATE: August 10, 2015 Housing & Community Development Department Director Alvin Nash recommends the City Council approve the sale of 396 W. Locust Street to Weaver Castle LLC for $37,180. Weaver Castle will rehabilitate the property in accordance with State Historic Tax Credit program guidelines and specifications. As an incentive, the City would offer a $20,000 10-year forgivable loan, provided Weaver Castle signs a Restrictive Covenant Agreement that states the property must remain a single family home, either owner- occupied or rental for 21 years. The City normally requires the property be owner- occupied and not rental; however, based on the significant investment of the developer in this neighborhood rehabbing troubled properties into attractive historic rentals, an exception in this case seems to be warranted. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. Micliael C.

Masterpiece on the Mississippi 2007.2012.2013 TO: Michael Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Alvin Nash, Housing & Community Development SUBJECT: Sale of City-owned property at 396 West Locust Street DATE: August 6, 2015 Introduction The purpose of this memorandum is to request approval of the attached resolution and Special Warranty Deed for the sale of City owned property at 396 West Locust Street. Discussion On August 3, 2015, the City Council, passed Resolution No. 265-15, declaring its intent to dispose of City-owned property at 396 West Locust. This home was acquired by the Housing Department using the new CIP C.H.A.N.G.E. Program with the intentions to renovate the property. As staff worked to put together preliminary costs, it was apparent that the total investment would total approximately $222,289 and sell for no more than $130,000. A locally-known developer, Weaver Castle LLC, approached the Housing Department with interest in this property. This developer has great experience in rehabilitating historic properties. The Developer would pay the City the cost the City paid for acquisition of $37,180. As an incentive to rehabilitate the property in accordance with State Historic Tax Credit program guidelines and specifications, staff would like to offer a $20,000 10-year forgivable loan, providing the Developer agrees to sign the Restrictive Covenant Agreement that will state "The property must remain a single family home, either owner- occupied or rental for 21-years", which means it cannot be converted into a multi-family unit. Based on the significant investment of this developer in this neighborhood in rehabbing troubled properties into attractive, historic rentals, I believe this exception is warranted. By disposing of this property to Weaver Castle LLC, the City investment would only be $57,180 rather than $222,289, yet still contributing to the housing stock of Dubuque and putting a property back on the tax roll. This property has been vacant for several years. Weaver Castle LLC owns other historic properties in this neighbor, such as: 407/409 Loras, 324 W. Locust, 346 W. Locust, 1576 Locust, and 75 W. 17th Street. These properties have combined assessed values of$339,070.00. Upon completion of the renovations of these properties, it is estimated that the value of the properties will be approximately $571107000.00. Action Step I request that the City Council passes, approves, and adopts the attached resolution approving purchase agreement and deed for the sale of 396 West Locust Street RESOLUTION NO. 285-15 ATTACHING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE RESTRICTIVE COVENANT, WHETHER OWNER OCCUPIED OR SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL, TO 396 W.
