INTRODUCTION
Joseph G. Feltes, 2616 Stafford has requested the purchase of Lot 4A of Mineral Lot

Linwood Cemetery and abuts Dubuque Community School District and Stafford Street.

organization is interested in the property.

The City has no plans for the utilization of Lot 4A of Mineral Lot 472 to be disposed of

purchase price be established at $1, plus publication and filing fees.

Honorable Mayor Terry Duggan and City Council
50 West 13th St.
Dubuque, lA. 52001
Honorable Mayor Terry Duggan and City Council,
I would like to see if I COuld acquire a portion of city property in accordance with the
City of Dubuque vacating procedures.
I have spoken with Ron Turner at the City Engineem office to have the area checked for
sewer and utilities. Ron stated that there are no sewer or utililies in that area and that the
vacating of this piece of land was favorable. The property is located on Stafford Aveoue.
See attaehad diagram. It runs adjacent to property that I own, It is Lot 4A of Minerai Lot
472. It is 22 feet by 267.811 feet and is located between Linwood Cemetery and my
property.
The reason for my wanting to acquire this piece of property is because I would like to
enhance the land with shrub life and maintain already existing trees and grass. I have
done my best to maintain this land so that my property appearance is acceptable and
welcoming. I have done this for the past 2.5 years.
If this is possible, T will work closely with the City Engineer's Office to obtain writtea
consent of the contiguous property ownem.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If fl~ere is any fresher infommtion I can
provide, please contact me at the above address or phone.
Req~ectfully Suhmitted,
Joseph G, Feltes
Home Owner
