Demolition of Historic Structure at 574 Loras Boulevard: � Caty Manager recommended approval of the demolition of 574 j I.�ras Boulevard as recommended by the Housing& Community I3�velopment Department and the Historic Preservation �, C�mmission due to the significant deterioration that no longer ; rr�akes this a viable structure. Council Member Cavanagh stated �' tbat he received calls from community members expressing � cc��cern over the demolition. Mr. Cavanagh stated that the !j I�storic Preservation Commission(HPC)voted to deny the �I d�xnolition request at their November 19, 2020 meeting, then �", voted in favor of the demolition at their recent meeting. Mr. �I C'�vanagh requested clarification on the process and the reason �� that the HPC changed their vote. Wally Wernimont, Planning ';; i1 S��vices Manager, provided information on the process for a { d�znolition application and the criteria used by the HPC when i ca�sidering a demolition application. At the HPC's November � l��h meeting, the commission identified the property to be i�l hi�torically sigrrificant. John McAndrews, a member of the HPC, j; s�bmitted a request to buy the property. The HPC decided to �� gi�?e Mr. McAndrews an opportunity to provide more detail. � Af�er the November 19th meeting, Mr. McAndrews withdrew his i re�uest. Due to the withdrawal of Mr. McAndrews request and no �{ ot�er viable options for the property, the HPC then approved �I tl��demolition based on political subdivision of state. Alexis � u Steger, Housing&Community Development Director, stated that �; the property was abandoned and deemed a safety hazard. The �I Department contacted 10 developers interested in Historic i Preservation to see if any were interested in purchasing the property. Six of the developers toured the property and all determined the property was not worth purchasing. Responding ta questions from City Council, Ms. Steger stated that the property has an imminent risk of danger and that the Housing Department has recently taken a proactive approach to try to monitor properties. Ms. Steger stated that the department reeently initiated drive-thru reviews of building exteriors to id�ntify potential issues, but the department is unable to f conduct interior inspections of privately owned buildings, � thus limiting the proactive approaches the department may take. Ms. Steger and Mr. Wernimont also responded to City � Council questions regarding what will happen to the lot if the demolition occurs. Ms. Steger stated that the City will need n to look at stabilizing the lot to know what type of property � could be built on it. Mr. Wernimont stated that the HPC would � review any designs of proposed new buildings on the lot and would review for compatibility with the neighborhood. Ciry Council expressed concern on the challenges of identifying i issues with historic properties before they become � unsalvageable and encouraged the community to come up with � � � � �reative ways for identifying potential issues with historic properties before the properties are deemed unsalvageable. Motion by Cavanagh to receive and file the documents and adopt Resolution No. 361-20 Approving the demolition of historic and City owned property at 574 Loras Boulevard due to tteterioration beyond repair.

Mr. Van Milligen added that the potential increase of alternating between remote and in-person work in the general �� workforce may lead to changes in the language of Development � Agreements. Rick Dickinson, President and CEO of Greater II Dubuque Development Corporation, stated that the capital !i investment of both companies combined with the number of �� employees will exceed the companies' obilgations in the ' Development Agreement. Mr. Dickinson also mentioned that the � Dubuque workforce consists of many people who work in Dubuque I but reside in the surrounding area.
