MEMORANDUM
August 26, 2002
TO:Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM:Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Vacating Petition - Alley Between Iowa Street and Central Avenue
from 13th Street to 14th Street
INTRODUCTION
This is in response to a request from Dubuque Bank & Trust for the vacating of
the alley between Iowa Street and Central Avenue from 13th Street to 14th Street.
DISCUSSION
The attached plat shows the proposed alley between Iowa Street and Central
Avenue from 13th Street to 14th Street to be vacated. The abutting properties are
owned by Dubuque Bank & Trust. The alley will be utilized to connect their
proposed parking lot at 13th and Iowa Street to their building across the alley.
The area to be vacated is divided into one (1) lot numbered City Lot 449A. City
Lot 449A is an existing 20-foot wide alley on which public utilities exist.
Perpetual easement rights will be reserved on the entire Lot City Lot 449A for
maintenance of the existing sanitary sewer, watermain, and other utilities.
The property has been valued at $1.82 per square foot. Allowing credit to
Dubuque Bank & Trust for surveying and platting, a purchase price of $8,400.00
was established.
RECOMMENDATION
The City has no plans for the utilization of the alley between Iowa Street and
Central Avenue from 13th Street to 14th Street to be vacated, except for reserving
the utility easements as noted.
I would recommend that the area indicated by City Lot 449A 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 September 16, 2002. I would further recommend
that the purchase price be established at $8,400.00 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.
