September 5, 1933 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At the special Council meeting of August 28th the letter from Mr. Herbert A. Kennison, dated August 17th, addressed to the Coun- cil was referred to the City Man- ager for investigation and report back to the Council. The original request for Mt. Ver- non Court was made May 5, 1933, by Mr. Herbert Kennison. The re- quest was that the Council approve the laying out and to perform grad- ing of the street shown on the plats attached and indicated as "Mt. Ver- non Court." It was mentioned that the Zoning Board had given this pro- position study and approval as a pre- liminary measure until final appro- val by the City Council. It was also mentioned in the original appli- cation that the final grades were to be submitted and approved by the City Engineer. The City Council viewed this pro- posed allotment June 6, 1933, and discussed somewhat some of the fea- tures with Mr. Kennison on the ground. No actual decision of accept- ance was made on this date. Mr. Kennison's letter of August 17th asks that the letter of May 5th be disregarded and he now asks that the plan be approved, with no men- tion of the City doing the grading on said plan. The City Engineer and the writer have studied this plan and we have the following criticisms and sugges- tions to make thereon: — In connection with the improve- ment assessments for paving and sanitary sewerage of Mt. Vernon Court, the entire costs of said im- provement are to be borne by the lots owned by Mr. Kennison and be- ing in the Mt. Vernon Court Addi- tion. No improvement assessments are to be levied on the Country Club property, the lot immediately north on the west side of Grandview Av6- nue, or the lots in the Jones Addi- tion in Overview Court. Mr. Kenni- son agrees that his property shall assume all improvement assess- ments. The question was discussed with Mr. Kennison as to what authority he had for showing a portion of Mt. Vernon Court being platted on Coun- try Club property at a point approx- imately 145 feet west of the Grand- view Avenue property line at the intersection of the 15 -foot public al- ley. This portion shown on Country Club property is a triangle approx- imately 10' x 23'. Mr. Kennison was advised that it was up to him to try to secure from the Country Club this above mentioned triangle and if pro- per arrangements could not be made to secure this triangle, that the Mt. Vernon Court south line would have to be moved toward the south appo- site this point at least 5 feet in order to provide a court width of at least 25 feet. On the original plat Mr. Kennison had shown a new 15 -foot wide public alley approximately 150 feet west of Grandview Avenue and running in a general direction parallel to Grand- view Avenue, but said alley did not extend to the rear of the Jones al- lotment on Overview Court to the extent of 4 feet. The City Council discussed this question with Mr. Kennison on the ground June 6th. He then agreed, and has confirmed his decision since, that the alley can be shown platted clear to his south property line or to the line of the Jones allotment. At this time the alley will not be a benefit to the Jones allotment as it will end at a rear line of one private lot, but the purpose of the City Council in de- manding that this alley extend clear through this Kennison property was to prevent some serious action in the future. On Lots 3 and 4 of the Mt. Vernon Court Addition, designated "Ken Sub," the 12 -foot easement for pri- vate drive at the south end of these two lots is questioned. The proposed Zoning Ordinance requires that the minimum for a single family lot shall he 6000 sq. ft. Lot 4 is shown as 6175 sq. ft., but the 12 -foot easement at the south end, which was originally intended to remain in Mr. Kennison's name, would decrease the size of this area so that Lot 4 could not be used for building purposes. It is suggest- ed that rather than an easement be- ing mentioned here and the property remaining under Mr. Kennison's name, that the easement be re- moved, with the provision that "pri- vate drive" be inserted and the en- tire lot be sold to one person. Mr. Kennison has consented to this. In connection with the 4 -foot wide easement around the south side of Lots 5 and 6 and the west side of Lots 6, 7 and 8 and the north side of Lots 8, 9 and 10, we also ques- tion the advisability of Mr. Kennison retaining a 4 -foot strip between his present property and the edges of the lots to be sold in the future. Mr. Kennison would be required to pay taxes on this 4 -foot strip over an ex- tent of some 700 or 800 feet, which is not practical and it is strongly recommended that the allotment plan be not accepted with such ease- ment complications. Mr. Kennison has agreed to remove this 4 -foot easement strip on all of the above mentioned Lots 6 to 10 inclusive. Another question that has been raised is the right for Mr. Kennison to designate an established building line on the north side of Mt. Vernon Court through property of the Du- buque Golf Club. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Thompson moved to refer the communication of City Manager Evans to the City Solicitor. Seconded by Councilman McEvoy. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Andelfinger, McEvoy, Schuckert and Thompson. Nays —None. September 1st, 1933. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In connection with the letter of August 22nd from Jo- seph C. Gehrig, insurance service, of Dubuque, Iowa, to the City Council of Dubuque and referred to the wri- ter for investigation and report at the special meeting of Council Au- gust 28th, please be advised as follows: Mr. Gehrig desires that the City Council of Dubuque authorize the cancellation of the $2,000 surety bond for a Class "B" permit to sell beer issued to Mr. Milton Steiner of 165 West 4th Street, Dubuque, Iowa. This location is on the north side of West 4th Street 'underneath the present street floor occupied by Sam Swift's Barber Shop. Chief Giellis and the writer inves- tigated from several sources and we find today that this beer parlor was closed about August 15, 1933. Mr. Steiner was asked to come to this office today and gave the infor- mation that he can no longer oper- ate a Class •'B" beer parlor and de- sires that Council do everything pos- sible to relieve him of costs already obligated, including the cancellation of the bond and the permit fee for sale of beer if possible. I assured him that there was no rebate on the yearly license for a Class "13" parlor. Yours very truly, R. M; EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: In connection with the alternate proposals taken on the Kaufmann Avenue Water Works Re- servoir improvements which have been held up since receipt of bids for two days, please be advised that no word has been received that the requested 30% Federal Aid has been granted. Inasmuch as the reservoir work needs immediate attention and can be finished this fall only in case of start at the very earliest date, it is the writer's recommendation that the request for 30% Federal Aid for the Kaufmann Avenue Reservoir and the Eagle Point Smoke Stack, which were both estimated at $13,000, be cancelled: that Federal authorities be advised that local funds can be raised for this construction and the work will be started at once, to be paid for by this city. Accordingly, it is my further recommendation that the work for the Kaufmann Avenue Reservoir be awarded to the low bidder, namely Wm. Yokom, on the basis of 40% minimum common labor and that the prevailing Dubuque wage scale shall apply for skilled labor as outlined Special Session, September 15th, 1933 211 RESOLUTION NO, 97 -33.
