TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Dream Center - Request to Alter Washington Street Neighborhood
Conservation District Boundaries
DATE: April 5, 2021
The purpose of this memo is to respectfully recommend that the Mayor and City Council
approve the request by the Dream Center to remove 1620 & 1628 White Street from the
Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District.
The Dream Center has been partnering with the City of Dubuque, Dubuque Racing
Association, Dubuque County, Dubuque Child Care Resource and Referral and Conlon
Construction to assist in establishing the Dream Center as a Licensed Child Care
Center. The Dream Center has been providing childcare services to the community but
has not been receiving childcare funding assistance because it is not licensed. If the
Dream Center updates its facilities to meet license childcare requirements, it would
provide a revenue stream to the Dream Center estimated to be $800,000 a year.
Over the last year, city staff inet with members of the Dream Center and their project
team members to talk about the location of an outdoor play area and renovation of their
building both state requirements for becoming a licensed childcare center. lowa
Administrative Code Chapter 109 requires a licensed childcare center to have;
"adequate indoor and outdoor program space that is adjacent to the center is
provided. Centers shall have a safe outdoor program area with at least sufficient
square footage to accommodate 30 percent of the enrollment capacity at any one
time at 75 square feet per child. The outdoor area shall include safe play
equipment and an area of shade."
The City has provided financial assistance for the Dream Center building renovations.
The City has also discussed plans for converting 16th Street to outdoor play area space.
Dream Center staff noted their goal is to have their daycare licensed as a childcare
center by September 2021. They also noted that they have grant funds that need to be
expended by July 2021 to make facility improvement to meet this goal. City Staff
discussed the many steps needed to have 16th Street converted to an outdoor play area
and with neighborhood meetings, reviews, approvals, and with construction dependent
on weather, it would most likely not be feasible to meet the July 2021 grant funding
deadline and will not meet the Dream Center's plan to be licensed by September 2021.
Timing is important because every week of delay costs the Dream Center $15,000 in
lost revenue.
The Dream Center staff proposed moving forward with acquiring the property to the
north of them, demolishing the buildings, and creating greenspace that would
accommodate the required outdoor play area. In addition to the outdoor play area, the
adjacent property would provide space for an external elevator addition to make the
Dream Center ADA accessible.
They discussed that this would be a temporary solution because of future plans for
construction of a gymnasium addition to the north. The Dream Center staff noted they
do not have funding for the gymnasium addition and did not have a set timeframe on
when they would acquire the funds for the addition. In addition, future expansion of the
Dream Center may necessitate closing of 16th Street for an outdoor play area.
Planning Staff informed the Dream Center and project team members that 1620 & 1628
White Street are located in the Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District
and the process for requesting approval of these building to be removed.
Amongst the many reasons for the conservation district was a concern that with all the
public funds being spent in this area, especially to eliminate flooding and to build the
Bee Branch Creek Linear Park that low-income residents would be displaced with high
income earners when developers bought affordable housing and tore it down to build
high end housing.
The boundaries of the Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District were
based off the boundaries of the Washington Neighborhood Association Boundary
excluding the following properties:
Heartland Financial/Dubuque Bank & Trust— 1300 Block of White Street
As part of the proposed expansion of the Washington Street Neighborhood
Conservation District, the City Council received a request from Heartland
Financial/Dubuque Bank & Trust to exclude the block bounded by 13tn
White, 14th and Jackson Streets from any extension of the Washington Street
Conservation District. They indicated they owned several buildings on the block
and had future development plans. They noted if the block is included in the
district, it may deter further economic development by their companies in
downtown Dubuque. The City Council approved the request to exclude these
properties.
Blum Elm Scrap Yard — 15th & Elm
As part of the proposed expansion of the Washington Street Neighborhood
Conservation District, it was discussed that the Blum Scrap Yard area would be
appropriate to exclude. It was noted that should this property ever be considered
for a change of use, the City would want the fewest obstacles to the achievement
of that goal. The City Council approved the request to exclude these properties.
2
The Dream Center with assistance from their project partners approached the property
owner of 1620 and 1628 White Street about seeking approval for a demolition permit.
The property owner, Nottingham Properties, applied to the Historic Preservation
Commission (HPC) to seek approval for a demolition permit.
Because the HPC denied the demolition permit application at their March 21, 2021
meeting, the next step for the Dream Center to pursue is a request to City Council for
alteration of the Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District Boundaries to
include removal of 1620 & 1628 White Street from the district.
There are no set criteria for the City Council to follow when making a determination on
alteration of a conservation district. This allows the City Council to weigh multiple factors
when determining whether to approve the alteration to the district boundaries.
During the August 2019 & August 2020 City Council Annual Goal Setting Sessions, the
City Council identified supporting the Dream Center a priority.
In the 2020 session, City Council identified the Dream Center Facilities and Programs:
Self-Sufficiency Additional Funding as a 2020-2022 Top Priority. At a March 1, 2021
City Council Work Session, the Dream Center presented on the organization's
programming and outcomes. The Dream Center has discussed that by being licensed
as a childcare center many of their families would then be able to receive Department of
Human Services assistance for childcare. This would provide a revenue stream to help
work towards the Dream Center becoming more self-sufficient.
The City Council identified the Equitable Poverty Prevention Plan Implementation:
Outcomes, Report with Options, City Role, Direction and City Actions as a 2020-2022
Top Priority. On March 1, 2021, the City Council adopted the Equitable Poverty
Reduction & Prevention Plan. The plan has several references to the Dream Center.
Most notably, located in the Chapter 3.3 Education & Skills Training where it states:
The Dream Center excels at providing mentoring to youth, socio-recreational
programs after school, educating and partnering with parents, and works directly
with teachers in Title 1 schools so students have seamless tutoring offered at the
Dream Center that can target specific skills to build for each student. A cadre of
volunteers from the community serve as tutors and mentors to children attending
the center.
The center a/so employs several School Connectors who work with teachers
from the Title 1 elementary schools to coordinate homework assignments and
address learning needs of students being tutored at the Center. The program is
in extremely high demand with a waiting list of 170 children from pre-K through
high school (2020).
A promising practice of the Equitable Poverty Reduction & Prevention Plan states;

5. Enhance Funding for& Build Upon Successful Strategies of Local Youth
Programs
A number of organizations in Dubuque are already succeeding at serving families
and meeting the needs of local children and youth: these efforts are invaluable
and must continue to be supported and built upon. These groups already doing
the work in the field and understanding what children and families need include
the Multicultural Family Center(MFC), Dream Center, St. Mark Youth
Enrichment, HEART(Housing Education and Rehabilitation Training) and the
Every Child Reads Collaborative, among others. The city of Dubuque boasts a
number of community organizations that effectively meet the needs of children
and youth: rather than starting from scratch, these efforts must be continually
reinforced, funded, and broadly supported.
The Equitable Poverty Reduction & Prevention Plan also refers to Childcare. Chapter
3.7 Child Care, Early Learning and Youth explains the need for quality affordable
childcare.
The plan identifies that there are shortages throughout Dubuque but that low-income
tracts (1 & 5) with the highest concentration of poverty and percentage of minority
residents have less access to childcare. The dividing line between Tracts 1 & 5 is
located one block north from the Dream Center at 17th Street. At this location, the
Dream Center has the ability to provide childcare to residents of both tracts.
The City Council identified Childcare Initiative: Outcomes, City Role, Partners,
Directions and City Actions as a 2020-2022 High Priority. At a December 7, 2020 City
Council Work Session, Economic Development Director Jill Connors and network
partners from Childcare Resource & Referral, Dubuque County Early Childhood,
Greater Dubuque Development Corporation, Northeast lowa Community College, and
Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque presented on childcare challenges and
collaboration efforts.
The presentation reaffirmed the demand for quality affordable childcare in the
community. The Dream Center was featured in the presentation as an organization that
is launching a licensed childcare center to help meet some of the demand.
In 2019, the City of Dubuque created a new 5-year Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing as required by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development to
receive Section 8 funds and Community Development Block Grant funds (CDBG).
This analysis was also prioritized to be completed as it was an equity priority for the
City.
As part of the City of Dubuque Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing, the lack of
access to childcare as a barrier to opportunity such as employment is listed as a
contributing factor. At the January 19, 2021 City Council meeting, Housing &
Community Development Director Alexis Steger forwarded the Housing, Human Rights
4
and Community Development Advisory Commissions recommendation for prioritization
of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Action Items. Lack of access to
childcare is a barrier to opportunity as employment was identified as a priority.
Under Social + Cultural Vibrancy Recommendations it states:
Work with community providers including non-profits, faith communities, and
Dubuque-area universities to expand childcare options and resources, whether
through on-site programs, clearinghouses for providers, or other means. The
plan also supports historic preservation.
The Washington Neighborhood Plan was designed to give residents and other
stakeholders the tools needed to enhance the quality of life within the neighborhood and
thereby strengthening its sense of pride. The goal of the plan is to inspire local
residents, business and property owners to collaborate with the City of Dubuque to
continue with neighborhood improvement efforts and revitalize the City's historic core.
The core issues identified in the plan are:
1.Economic Development
2.Families Youth & Education
3.Housing
The Washington Neighborhood Plan also identifies many other recommendations that
relate directly and indirectly to services being provided by the Dream Center and the
preservation of buildings. These include:
Expand youth activities that meet the interests and needs of children of all ages and
keep them engaged and active.
Encourage greater parent/adult involvement in the community, particularly with youth
activities.
Create a welcoming atmosphere to encourage community investment, foster
communication and project a new image as a hip neighborhood.
Provide a greater balance of housing by promoting homeownership and homeowner
maintenance.
The Washington Neighborhood Plan notes that the Washington Neighborhood offers a
range of activities and facilities geared towards youth and families. The many long-
standing churches are on the neighborhood's greatest assets, offering activities and
facilities for youth and family programs. In addition, other facilities or agencies like the
Boys and Girls Club, Project Concern, Multicultural Family Center, the City's Leisure
Services Department and Crescent Community Health Center off their own set of
programs for the community. There is a concern that more needs to be offered,
particularly in terms of offering programs that are affordable, providing guidance to
youth and encouraging youth to get involved in the community.

The Washington Neighborhood Plan supports the preservation assets in the
neighborhood.
Unfortunately, Demolition Approval of Historic Structures in Historic & Conservation
Districts are at times necessary. Planning Services Manager Wally Wernimont has
identified that there are over 2,000 buildings in these districts and since 1998 there have
been 26 demolitions of architecturally and historically significant buildings. Not every
building can or should be saved based on competing priorities.
The City of Dubuque has a substantial financial commitment to historic preservation.
The City's commitment to historic preservation began in the mid 1970's as the
community reacted to the wholesale clearance of downtown blocks through urban
renewal programs. As a result of the foresight of early leaders, Dubuque has one of the
largest collections of historic building stock in lowa. The community's commitment
continues today and into the future with our focus on sustainability and resiliency.
The City of Dubuque has a historic preservation ordinance and a variety of preservation
incentives that protect and enhance our community's historic resources and identity.
The City has designated 5 local historic preservation districts, 9 conservation districts,
11 local landmarks, 19 National Register Historic Districts and 3 conservation planning
areas supported by an active Historic Preservation Commission. There exists overlap
between many of the conservation and historic districts.
Illustrated design guidelines are available for historic districts as well as the Downtown,
Historic Millwork District, and older neighborhoods. The City has documented the
historical and architectural significance of nearly 5,700 properties in Dubuque.
Dubuque's historic preservation regulations, historic surveys, and architectural
guidelines are a resource to guide property owners, contractors, and design
professionals with preserving and enhancing the historic characteristics of a building, in
turn fostering neighborhood stability and community vitality.
The City's Financial Toolbox is extensive, with federal, state, and local incentives
available for qualifying projects providing new jobs and investment in Dubuque. New
and existing businesses are eligible for these economic development programs, which
provide assistance to areas that include all or part of the City's 5 historic districts and 9
conservation districts. The City also has created several financial incentives geared
specifically to locally designated historic properties.

Previous Five Years
In the past five years, the Economic Development has provided $12,212,640 in
incentives to properties located in historic and conservation districts, that have
leveraged $109,548,106.34 in funds. These properties received funding for interior &
exterior rehabilitation, farade renovation, and housing creation.
In the last five years, the Housing & Community Development Department has spent
$2,317,349 on rehabilitation of structures in the conservation district areas. All
properties rehabilitated went through the federally mandated Section 106 review to
ensure compliance to historic standards. In addition to rehabilitation of properties, the
Housing Department has spent $6.5 million in Bee Branch Healthy Homes funds to
keep structures viable and maintained after experiencing significant flooding in the
conservation districts. All 325 units have been through a Section 106 review.
Additionally, in the past five years, the Housing Department has spent $3.4 million in
Lead & Healthy Homes Program, assisting structures built prior to 1976 to remediate
lead hazards, which also helps maintain the structures and rehabilitate to historic
standards.
Next Five Years
In the 5-Year CIP Budget, the Economic Development Department is expected to
provide $2.7 million of incentives in these districts. In the next five years, the Housing &
Community Development Department expects to spend $1.5 million in Bee Branch
Healthy Homes Funds, $2.4 million in Lead & Healthy Homes Funds, and $2.1 million in
rehabilitation of homes.
If the City Council approves alteration of the district to remove 1620 & 1628 White
Street, because the decision will be based on supporting the Dream Center and
providing childcare, the ordinance should go into effect upon transfer of 1620 & 1628
White Street to Dream Center.
I respectfully recommend Mayor and City Council approval of the request from the
Dream Center to remove these two buildings from the conservation district.

provide $2.7 million of incentives in these districts. In the next five years, the Housing &
Community Development Department expects to spend $1.5 million in Bee Branch
Healthy Homes Funds, $2.4 million in Lead & Healthy Homes Funds, and $2.1 million in
rehabilitation of homes.
If the City Council approves alteration of the district to remove 1620 & 1628 White
Street, because the decision will be based on supporting the Dream Center and
providing childcare, the ordinance should go into effect upon transfer of 1620 & 1628
White Street to Dream Center.
I respectfully recommend Mayor and City Council approval of the request from the
Dream Center to remove these two buildings from the conservation district.

RE: Dream Center— Request to Alter Washington Street Neighborhood
Conservation District Boundaries
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to provide information to the City Council on the request by
the Dream Center to remove 1620 & 1628 White Street from the Washington Street
Neighborhood Conservation District. I apologize for the length of the memo but feel the
detailed information is necessary to address questions about the proposed request.
BACKGROUND
The Dream Center has been partnering with the City of Dubuque, Dubuque Racing
Association, Dubuque County, Dubuque Child Care Resource and Referral and Conlon
Construction to assist in establishing the Dream Center as a Licensed Child Care
Center. The Dream Center has been providing childcare services to the community but
has not been receiving childcare funding assistance because it is not licensed. If the
Dream Center updates it facilities to meet license childcare requirements, it would
provide a revenue stream to the Dream Center.
On January 7, 2021, city staff met with members of the Dream Center and their project
team members to talk about the location of outdoor play area, a state requirement for
becoming a licensed childcare center. lowa Administrative Code Chapter 109 requires
a licensed childcare center to have;
"adequate indoor and outdoor program space that is adjacent to the center is
provided. Centers shall have a safe outdoor program area with at least sufficient
square footage to accommodate 30 percent of the enrollment capacity at any one
time at 75 square feet per child. The outdoor area shall include safe play
equipment and an area of shade."
The discussion revolved around a concept plan for converting 16t" Street to outdoor
play area space. Dream Center staff noted their goal is to have their daycare licensed
as a childcare center by September 2021. They also noted that they have grant funds
that need to be expended by July 2021 to make facility improvement to meet this goal.
City Staff discussed the many steps needed to have 16t" Street converted to outdoor
Dream Center— Request to Alter Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District Boundaries

play area and with neighborhood meetings, reviews, approvals, and with construction
dependent on weather, it would most likely not be feasible to meet the July 2021 grant
funding deadline and will not meet the Dream Center's plan to be licensed by
September 2021.
The Dream Center staff proposed moving forward with acquiring the property to the
north of them, demolishing the buildings, and creating greenspace that would
accommodate the required outdoor play area. In addition to the outdoor play area, the
adjacent property would provide space for an external elevator addition to make the
Dream Center ADA accessible.
They discussed that this would be a temporary solution because of future plans for
construction of a gymnasium addition to the north. The Dream Center staff noted they
do not have funding for the gymnasium addition and did not have a set timeframe on
when they would acquire the funds for the addition. In addition, future expansion of the
Dream Center may necessitate closing of 16th Street for outdoor play area.
Planning Staff informed the Dream Center and project team members that 1620 & 1628
White Street are located in the Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District
and the process for requesting approval of these building to be removed.
DISCUSSION
The properties at 1620 and 1628 White Street are contributing structures to the National
Register Listed Washington Residential Historic District. The properties are also located
in the Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District.

Expansion of Washinqton Street Neiqhborhood Conservation District
On February 22, 2011, the City Council approved the expansion of the Washington
Street Neighborhood Conservation District. The reason for expansion of the
conservation district was a recommendation of the Washington Neighborhood Strategic
Plan. The Safe Community Task Force's recommendations for Management of Physical
Environment include improving Dubuque neighborhoods by
2
Dream Center— Request to Alter Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District Boundaries
Page3of16
(a) encouraging home ownership;
(b) encouraging a mixed income approach to neighborhood development; and
(c) creating (or re- creating) a sense of place through good design.
Expansion of the Washington Neighborhood Conservation District addresses the Task
Force recommendations by encouraging homeownership and mixed -use opportunities,
while preserving the character and sense of place of the neighborhood. The
Washington Neighborhood is a mixed —use neighborhood with many single-family and
duplex units, scattered multi-family units, and major commercial zones in the
Central/White corridor and the Five Points area.
Washington Neighborhood Conservation District Boundaries
The boundaries of the Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District were
based off the boundaries of the Washington Neighborhood Association Boundary
excluding the following properties:
Heartland Financial/Dubuque Bank & Trust— 1300 Block of White Street
As part of the proposed expansion of the Washington Street Neighborhood
Conservation District, the City Council received a request from Heartland
Financial/Dubuque Bank & Trust to exclude the block bounded by 13th
White, 14t" and Jackson Streets from any extension of the Washington Street
Conservation District. They indicated they owned several buildings on the block
and had future development plans. They noted if the block is included in the
district, it may deter further economic development by their companies in
downtown Dubuque. The City Council approved the request to exclude these
properties.
Blum Elm Scrap Yard — 15th & Elm
As part of the proposed expansion of the Washington Street Neighborhood
Conservation District, it was discussed that the Blum Scrap Yard area would be
appropriate to exclude. It was noted that should this property ever be considered
for a change of use, the City would want the fewest obstacles to the achievement
of that goal. The City Council approved the request to exclude these properties.
Dream Center's Demolition Permit Review
The Unified Development Code defines a conservation district as:
CONSERVATION DISTRICT: An area designated by ordinances of the city
council which:
A. Has defined geographic boundaries;
B. Contains contiguous pieces of property under diverse ownership;
C. Encompasses areas of historically and architecturally significant buildings,
sites, structures, objects, or districts, including potential national or local
historic districts; and
D. Is important to maintain and preserve for its economic and social value and
as a neighborhood or area of affordable housing.
3
Dream Center— Request to Alter Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District Boundaries
Page 4 of 16
Demolition permits in conservation districts are reviewed by the Historic Preservation
Commission (HPC). Property owners submit an application to the HPC. The HPC then
reviews the application and documentation and makes a determination as to the
following:
1) Whether the building proposed for demolition has historic or architectural
significance to the community.
2) Whether denial of the proposed demolition permit would prevent the property
owner from earning a reasonable economic return on the property.
If the HPC finds that denial of the application would prevent the property owner
from earning a reasonable economic return on the property, or that the building
does not have any historical or architectural significance to the community, the
HPC will approve the application.
If the commission finds that denial of the application would not prevent the
property owner from earning a reasonable economic return on the property, and
that the building has historical or architectural significance to the community, the
HPC will deny the permit application.
The Dream Center with assistance from their project partners approached the property
owner of 1620 and 1628 White Street about seeking approval for a demolition permit.
The property owner, Nottingham Properties, applied to the HPC to seek approval for a
demolition permit (see attached demolition permit application).
At their March 2021 meeting, the HPC reviewed the demolition permit application. They
noted the property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing
structure to the National Register Listed Washington Residential Historic District.
At the meeting, the property owner explained the history of his approximately 10 years
of ownership and how it has been a struggle to maintain the property, keep it rented,
and receive a return on it. He stated he discussed donation or selling the property to the
True North initiative, but it ultimately wasn't the right fit for the program.
Tim Conlon, Chair of the Dream Center board, and owner of Conlon Construction
estimated the demolition and rebuilding cost to be $600,000 and note that such
expense could not be recouped with the rental prices of the area.
The HPC reviewed a letter from Heritage Works that proposed using historic tax credits
and other incentives to renovate the building and asked that the owner and City
consider that as a viable option. The letter suggested the City to use the Demolition by
Neglect section of the code to both prevent this situation and enforce upon the property
owner.
4
Dream Center— Request to Alter Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District Boundaries
Page 5 of 16
Conlon acknowledged that they had considered tax credits, but the project budget
would still have a $200,000 to $300,000 shortfall. Conlon expressed his value of
preserving historic buildings, but claimed it was difficult to make this project viable.
Commissioners stated that they value the Dream Center and the work that they do, but
the HPC noted it needs to ensure that every avenue to preserve this building is
pursued.
The HPC determined that denial of the application would not prevent the property owner
from earning a reasonable economic return on the property, and that the building has
historical or architectural significance to the community, and therefore, denied the
demolition permit application.
Because the HPC denied the demolition permit application, the next step for the Dream
Center to pursue removing of the buildings is to request to City Council alteration of the
Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District Boundaries to include removal
of 1620 & 1628 White Street from the district.
Under the Unified Development Code's Chapter 10 Historic Preservation Commission
Applications and Procedures, is the process for requesting an alteration of a
conservation district.
Process for Establishment, Expansion or Alteration of Conservation
District: Any person may request that the city council establish, expand or alter a
conservation district. The process for establishment, expansion or alteration of a
conservation district is as follows:
1. A written request for the establishment, expansion or alteration of a
conservation district must be submitted to the city clerk. At its next regular
meeting following receipt of the request by the city clerk, the city council
may:
a. approve or deny the request,
b. set the request for consideration at a subsequent meeting,
c. set the request for a public hearing, or
d. refer the request to the commission for a recommendation before
voting on the request.
2. At its next regular meeting, if a referral is made to it by the city council,
the commission will review the request, and make a recommendation to
the city council to:
a. approve or deny the request, or
b. to table the request for additional information for a specified period
not to exceed sixty (60) days.
Failure of the commission to act on the request within the sixty (60) day period,
unless the applicant requests and the commission grants an extension of such
5
Dream Center— Request to Alter Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District Boundaries
Page6of16
time, constitutes commission approval thereof. The recommendation of the
commission will be transmitted to the city clerk. The city clerk will promptly
transmit the recommendation and the application to the city council for its
consideration. In determining whether to recommend approval or denial of the
request, the commission will consider whether the proposed conservation district,
or the expansion or alteration of the district, has historic or architectural
significance to the community.
3. At its next regular meeting following receipt of the recommendation of the
commission by the city clerk, the city council will approve or deny the
request, or refer the nomination back to the commission for modification.
As you will notice, there is no set criteria for the City Council to follow when making a
determination on alteration of a conservation district. This allows the City Council to
weigh multiple factors when determining whether to approve the alteration to the district
boundaries.
Auqust 2019 & Auqust 2020 Citv Council Annual Goal Settinq Session
During the August 2019 & August 2020 City Council Annual Goal Setting Sessions, the
City Council identified supporting the Dream Center a priority.
Citv Council Goals & Priorities
2020— 2022 Top Priorities - Dream Center Facilities and Programs: Self-
Sufficiency Additional Funding
The City Council identified the Dream Center Facilities and Programs: Self-Sufficiency
Additional Funding as a 2020-2022 Top Priority. At a March 1, 2021 City Council Work
Session, the Dream Center presented on the organization's programming and
outcomes. The following is a link to the work session presentation.
https://citvofdubuque.granicus.com/MediaPlaver.php?view id=3&clip id=3736
As part of the work session, they provided a brochure on the Dubuque Dream Center
and City of Dubuque Operational Support (see attached). The Dream Center has
discussed that by being licensed as a childcare center many of their families would then
be able to receive Department of Human Services assistance for childcare. This would
provide a revenue stream to help work towards the Dream Center becoming more self-
sufficient.
2020— 2022 Top Priorities - Equitable Poverty Prevention Plan Implementation:
Outcomes, Report with Options, City Role, Direction, and City Acfions
The City Council identified the Equitable Poverty Prevention Plan Implementation:
Outcomes, Report with Options, City Role, Direction and City Actions as a 2020-2022
Top Priority. On March 1, 2021, the City Council adopted the Equitable Poverty
Reduction & Prevention Plan. The plan has several references to the Dream Center.
Most notably, located in the Chapter 3.3 Education & Skills Training where it states:
6
Dream Center— Request to Alter Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District Boundaries
Page7of16
The Dream Center excels at providing mentoring to youth, socio-recreational
programs after school, educating and partnering with parents, and works directly
with teachers in Title 1 schools so students have seam/ess tutoring offered at the
Dream Center that can target specific skills to build for each student. A cadre of
volunteers from the community serve as tutors and mentors to children attending
the center.
The center also employs several School Connectors who work with teachers
from the Title 1 elementary schools to coordinate homework assignments and
address learning needs of students being tutored at the Center. The program is
in extremely high demand with a waiting list of 170 children from pre-K through
high school (2020).
A promising practice of the Equitable Poverty Reduction & Prevention Plan states;
5. Enhance Funding for& Build Upon Successful Strategies of Local Youth
Programs
A number of organizations in Dubuque are already succeeding at serving families
and meeting the needs of local children and youth: these efforts are invaluable
and must continue to be supported and built upon. These groups already doing
the work in the field and understanding what children and families need include
the Multicultural Family Center(MFC), Dream Center, St. Mark Youth
Enrichment, HEART(Housing Education and Rehabilitation Training) and the
Every Child Reads Collaborative, among others. The city of Dubuque boasts a
number of community organizations that effectively meet the needs of children
and youth: rather than starting from scratch, these efforts must be
continually reinforced, funded, and broadly supported.
The Equitable Poverty Reduction & Prevention Plan also refers to Childcare. Chapter
3.7 Child Care, Early Learning and Youth explains the need for quality affordable
childcare.
The following table below illustrates that there are shortages throughout Dubuque but
that low-income tracts (1 & 5) with the highest concentration of poverty and percentage
of minority residents have less access to childcare. The dividing line between Tracts 1
& 5 is located one block north from the Dream Center at 17th Street. At this location, the
Dream Center has the ability to provide childcare to residents of both tracts.

The City Council identified Childcare Initiative: Outcomes, City Role, Partners,
Directions and City Actions as a 2020-2022 High Priority. At a December 7, 2020 City
Council Work Session, Economic Development Director Jill Connors and network
partners from Childcare Resource & Referral, Dubuque County Early Childhood,
Greater Dubuque Development Corporation, Northeast lowa Community College, and
Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque presented on childcare challenges and
collaboration efforts. The following is a link to the work session presentation.
https://citvofdubuque.granicus.com/MediaPlaver.php?view id=3&clip id=3684
The presentation reaffirmed the demand for quality affordable childcare in the
community. The Dream Center was featured in the presentation as an organization that
is launching a licensed childcare center to help meet some of the demand.

Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housinq
https://www.cityofdubuque.orq/DocumentCenter/View/44569/CityofDubuque 2019
Analysis of Impediments
In 2019, the City of Dubuque created a new 5-year Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing as required by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development to
receive Section 8 funds and Community Development Block Grant funds (CDBG).
This analysis was also prioritized to be completed as it was an equity priority for the
City.
The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing is meant to be an analysis of current
conditions, historic achievements and barriers, and a 5-year plan of action/goals.
Although the plan prioritizes actions by High, Medium and Low, it does not prioritize
within each category which items have a cost, which items have the largest
immediate impact, and what aligns with other City Council goals and priorities.
As part of the City of Dubuque Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing, the lack of
access to childcare as a barrier to opportunity such as employment is listed as a
contributing factor. At the January 19, 2021 City Council meeting, Housing &
Community Development Director Alexis Steger forwarded the Housing, Human Rights
and Community Development Advisory Commissions recommendation for prioritization
of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Action Items. Lack of access to
childcare is a barrier to opportunity as employment was identified as a priority.
Imaqine Dubuque Comprehensive Plan
https://www.cityofdubuque.orq/2432/Imaqine-Dubuque
There are several recommendations in the Imagine Dubuque Comprehensive Plan that
are related to the request.
Social + Cultural Vibrancy Recommendations
Education & Empowerment
Work with community providers including non-profits, faith communities, and
Dubuque-area universities to expand childcare options and resources, whether
through on-site programs, clearinghouses for providers, or other means.
Green Buildings + Historic Preservation
Recognizing the importance of historic preservation and adaptive reuse
Illustrate the tangible economic and sustainability benefits — direct, indirect, and
induced —to Dubuque's economy and community from the work done by the
City's historic preservation program and the City's private and public sector
partners.

Washinqton Neiqhborhood Plan
https://www.cityofdubuque.orq/DocumentCenter/View/26777/Washinqton-Neiqhborhood-
Plan?bidld=
The Washington Neighborhood Plan was designed to give residents and other
stakeholders (e.g. business owners, employees, residents, public officials, property
owners) the tools need to enhance the quality of live with in the neighborhood and
thereby strengthening its sense of pride. The goal of the plan is to inspire local
residents, business and property owners to collaborate with the City of Dubuque to
continue with neighborhood improvement efforts and revitalize the City's historic core.
The core issues identified in the plan are:
1.Economic Development
2.Families Youth & Education
3.Housing
As previously mentioned, the boundaries of the Washington Street Neighborhood
Conservation District were expanded as part of a recommendation of this plan. The
plan also identifies many other recommendations that relate directly and indirectly to
services being provided by the Dream Center and the preservation of buildings. These
include:
Expand youth activities that meet the interests and needs of children of all ages and
keep them engaged and active.
■ Develop a Washington Neighborhood Youth Collaborative that identifies needs
and concerns, plans regular activities for youth and children, and provided
leadership programming and opportunities in the Washington Neighborhood.
■ Create a feedback system that gather input from youth to define their needs and
interests.
■ Establish intramural sports programs that target youth ages 13-17.
■ Expand opportunities for youth activities in the neighborhood, examining
possibilities for a neighborhood little league team, a hip hop dance club, a drill
team, and other activities of interest.
Encourage greater parent/adult involvement in the community, particularly with youth
activities.
■ Develop a comprehensive after-school program that expands on existing
mentoring programs for school aged children (K-12) and utilize local companies
and individual (agencies, businesses, organizations and institutions) to provide
expanded mentoring activities for teens in allowing them to participate in
meaningful, experiential activities.
10
Dream Center— Request to Alter Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District Boundaries
Page 11 of 16
■ Work with schools and churches to promote an Open Gym program that is open
to families and develop a "Warm Summer Fun on Cold Winter Days" program to
foster connections between youth and parents.
Create a welcoming atmosphere to encourage community investment, foster
communication and project a new image as a hip neighborhood.
■ Consider designating the area as a Historic District to market the area and
access federal tax incentives.
Provide a greater balance of housing by promoting homeownership and homeowner
maintenance.
■ Continue and expand partnership with DB&T to purchase vacant buildings, target
acquisitions and provide low-interest loans.
Families, Youth & Education
The Washington Neighborhood Plan notes that the Washington Neighborhood offers a
range of activities and facilities geared towards youth and families. The many long-
standing churches are on the neighborhood's greatest assets, offering activities and
facilities for youth and family programs. In addition, other facilities or agencies like the
Boys and Girls Club, Project Concern, Multicultural Family Center, the City's Leisure
Services Department and Crescent Community Health Center off their own set of
programs for the community. There is a concern that more needs to be offered,
particularly in terms of offerinq programs that are affordable, providing quidance to
vouth and encouraginq vouth to get involved in the community.
Historic Assets
The Washington Plan notes the following:
"As one of the oldest and most established neighborhoods in Dubuque, other
structures within the Washington Neighborhood may have historic qualities worth
preserving. As illustrated on the map on page 51, many properties within the
Washington Neighborhood are eligible to be listed in the National Register of
Historic Places. Even if certain properties are ineligible or do not receive official
recognition for being historic, preservation of such properties is still important to
maintaining the character of the neighborhood. To assist in this regard, the intent
of the three conservation districts that extend into the Washington Neighborhood
provides the community with historic preservation precedent to help protect the
history and architecture of the neighborhood. The neighborhood could help
protect its historic character by extending coverage of conservation districts
throughout all of the Washington Neighborhood, and by considering the
establishment of an historic district."
Demolition Approval of Historic Structures in Historic & Conservation Districts
The following is a list of architectural and historically significant structures that were
demolished. The table is arranged to show date of demolition approval, address of

REQUESTED ACTION
The request before the City Council is to determine if the Washington Street
Neighborhood Conservation District boundaries should be altered to remove the
properties at 1620 & 1628 White Street. The City Council first needs to decide what
action they would like to take:

Dream Center— Request to Alter Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District Boundaries
Page 16 of 16
At the conclusion of the action taken, because there are no set criteria for the City
Council to follow, the council should weigh all interests and make a decision on whether
to alter the district boundaries to remove 1620 & 1628 White Street.
RECOMMENDATION
If the City Council approves alteration of the district to remove 1620 & 1628 White
Street, because the decision will be based on supporting the Dream Center and
providing childcare, the ordinance should go into effect upon transfer of 1620 & 1628
White Street to Dream Center.
Thank you.

� • Greetings Adrienne,
Thank you very much for your previous support of the Dubuque Dream Center,
� during your time at IBM through S.T.E.M. education! We are the Dream Center
have been impressed by the support of our community.
. . :.. .
' " '' Wally Wernimont suggested that I reach out to you and request to be placed on
, �� the AprilSth, 2021 City Council Meeting Agenda.
As you may be aware, the Dubuque Dream Center has partnered with the City of
� •- • Dubuque, Dubuque Racing Association, Dubuque County, Dubuque Child Care
Resource and Referral, and Conlon Construction to establish the Dream Center
�..- . -
as a Licensed Child Care Center.
� . �� During the process of assessing what the Dream Center needs to obtain our Child
Care License from Iowa Department of Human Services, we were informed by
Child Care Resource and Referral, that the first step for the Dream Center would
be to upgrade our facility to become ADA Accessible, and to secure between
2,000-4,000 SF of Outdoor or Green Space connected to our facility.
' ' �- �� We partnered with the above-mentioned organizations to begin this process and
` ' have raised $636,000 as result of these partnerships and $276,000 of these funds
•' • ' "" have been contributed through the support of the City Council and the City of
'• " Dubuque.
�.
' ••' As part of our ongoing assessment to determine a plan to add the required
'- • ' Outdoor Space, the Dubuque Dream Center, Conlon Construction, and City of
Dubuque staff from departments that included Engineering, Parks, and Planning,
had ongoing discussions, separate meetings and ultimately came together on
January 7t" to determine next steps.

It was determined at the January 7th meeting, that the next best plan of action
would be to seek a Demolition of the north side property next to the Dream
� ' . Center, 1620 & 1628 White Street, in order to add the required Outdoor Space
� � . � � required by DHS for the Dubuque Dream Center to become a Licensed Child
Care Center and to accommodate an exterior elevator tower addition to make the
� - • facility ADA accessible.
Because these properties are located in the Washington Neighborhood
� Conservation District, City representatives advised and recommended that
Dubuque Dream Center, Conlon Construction, 563 Design, and the present
' • �•• ' owner of 1620 and 1628 White Street(Nottingham Properties),partner to submit
' ' '' an application and request a meeting with the Historic Preservation Commission
, �� to receive a demolition permit and approval to demolish 1620 and 1628 White
Street properties.
' •- • On Thursday March 18th, the Historic Preservation Commission denied the
demolition permit requested officially by Nottingham Properties in partnership
with Conlon Construction, and 365 Design, for the purpose and support of the
�'� � Dubuque Dream Center.
.-
� � Wally Wernimont, Planning Services Manager noted`Because the HPC denied
the application, the next step is to send a letter to the City Clerk requesting that
the Washington Neighborhood Conservation District boundaries be modified to
removed 1620 & 1628 from the district."
� ' �- �� Therefore, I am graciously requesting to be placed on the April Sth, 2021 City
` ' Council Meeting Agenda to request that the properties of 1620 and 1628 White
'' ' ' "" Street be removed from the district boundaries, so that the Dream Center can
'• - purchase 1620 and 1628 White Street Properties and then proceed to demo the
'• " properties to add Outdoor Space as part of the DHS requirements to become a
' ••' Licensed Child Care Center.

Preparing the future workforce and supporting the present workforce
The Dream Center seeks to prepare the future workforce, by influencing the academic
outcomes and employment soft skills of school aged youth to prepare them for high school, college or career.
The Dream Center seeks to support the present workforce, by providing quality after school and summer care
to school aged children of working families. In particularly in areas of concentrated poverty where quality care for
children are in short supply.
�
By supporting the Dream Center, the City of Dubuque will be supporting an organization that is becoming
established and known in the community as a Quality After School and Summer Care Site for the children of
working families.
Although the Dream Center targets low-income families in need, families from diverse racial-social economic
backgrounds view the Dream Center as a quality option for after school and summer care for their children. The
Dream Center serves students from every local public school in Dubuque as well as private school students.
Childcare is a critical infrastructure that supports working families and drives economic growth. However,
Centers need the proper staff support to meet the ratio of the kids we serve.
lowa's labor shortage makes the need for childcare increasingly urgent. Access to quality early childhood
education is critical for attracting and retaining a quality workforce
Dubuque employers struggle to fill vacant positions. 28% report unfilled positions are increasing and Childcare
access is a primary barrier to workforce participation, especially for low-income households and women.
• Single parents making >$10.82/hr lose childcare assistance
• 70% of poor, nonworking adults w/young children are not working due to family responsibilities
• For each 10% increase in childcare expenses, employment rate of married mothers decreases 5-6%
• 83% of millennials would leave their jobs for one with more family-friendly benefits
Childcare boosts productivity and firm performance. �
• One Dubuque-area employer estimates that childcare issues cause 50% of absenteeism.
• Childcare-related absenteeism in the US costs businesses $4.4 billion a year.
• After providing childcare, 85% of employers report improved recruitment and 2/3 report reduced turnover.

At the outset of the pandemic, nearly two-thirds of child care providers said they could not survive a closure that
extended longer than one month. The Center for American Progress estimates that the country could lose half of
its licensed child care capacity without government intervention. Millions of American workers, hoping to get
back to their jobs once the public health risk has suciently decreased, will not be able to do so until they have
safe, reliable, and aordable child care. This has major consequences for the reopening of the economy but also
has important implications for income and educational inequality, racial equity, geographic equity, and a
potentially significant decline in the number of mothers in the labor force.
COVID-19 appears to have taken a greater toll on Hispanic and Black communities, both in terms of the public
health threat and the economic impact. Prior to the pandemic, most child care deserts were in low- and
middle-income communities, including many predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods, and were practically
ubiquitous across rural America.
Communities that already lacked sufficient child care before the coronavirus are likely to be especially affected
by the crisis as unemployment hits these communities harder and families are less likely to have savings to
weather the economic downturn.
Child care is essential for families and for the broader economy. This was true before the coronavirus crisis
and may be even more widely accepted now that millions of people are working from home or laid off or
furloughed until it is safe for most businesses to reopen. But the precarious state of the child care sector prior
to this disruption cannot be overstated. Even in a good economy, child care programs and families with
young children have a hard time financing high costs with little public funding

Although the Dubuque Dream Center is seeking to become a licensed childcare facility, our unique model as
an academic center and academy is designed to prepare students for college and career. Our long-term
model to serve students beginning in early childhood through 12th grade. Through the Dream Center Youth
Career Development and Employment Program, we focus on the future to impact generational poverty by
developing the future workforce.
Our Youth Career Development and Emp/oyment Program benefits from our early school age feeder
system: Youth enrolled in Dream Center programming are students who have been identified by school
teachers, counselors, or administrators based on academic, social and emotional development needs during
their elementary ages, K-5th.
Over 80% of students who enrolled in our Youth Career Development program in the summer of 2019 have
been participants in Dream Center programming since 2014, having discipline and character development
values instilled and are now middle or high school students. Students have the option to enroll in our Youth
Career Development and Employment program from grades 8th-12th at this time.
Students enrolled receive an individual career assessment, soft skills development, and job & career
readiness training in partnership with Northern lowa Community College (NICC). Students can earn
Employment opportunities and Stipend through a partnership with Dubuque Works and Private Donor.
Soft skills provide a critical foundation for success at school and work. Nationwide, 62% of business
decision-makers have more difficulty recruiting candidates with soft skills than technical skills.
55% of Dubuque-area employers consider work ethic a major skills gap; 50% cite communication skills.
Additionally, 90% of decision-makers believe soft skills are developed more easily in early childhood than
later in life.

Landon- Academic Improvements
Landon was a 3rd grader at Fulton Elementary School this past school year. When speaking to his coach and
teacher about his biggest improvement this school year they both said the same thing, his attitude and
effort. His teacher, Mrs. Molly Davis, said his biggest improvement was his attitude towards writing during his
independent work every day. She also said how proud she was for him meeting his Math MAP testing goal.
Coach Blake said Landon really came out of his shell this year and give a great effort when learning new
things, that may not always be easy, especially in reading. When looking at the data from the past two school
years it all aligns, Landon has moved from being at high reading risk in 2nd grade to some reading risk in
3rd grade. He has also improved his Reading MAP score from 161 at the beginning of 2nd grade to 193 in the
winter of 3rd grade. This is only 3 points below where he needs to be to be considered at reading
proficiency for in the winter of 3rd grade. He has also made big improvements on his Math MAP test by
going from a 179 at the beginning of 2nd grade to 198 during the winter of 3rd grade. This puts him at math
proficiency for his grade level! It is without a doubt that with Landon continuing to work hard he will meet his
reading proficiency goal next year and continue to excel above the expectation in both reading and math.
Nicholas- Behavior Improvements
Nicholas was an 8th grader at Jefferson Middle School this past school year. He ended the school year with
a 4.0 GPA. He also made great improvements in school office referrals, going from eight in 7th grade to only
one referral in 8th grade. Nicholas' mom said she is most impressed with his overall behavior and respect.
She is impressed how he addresses women as ma'am and men as sir. He has also improved on listening to
advise. She said he is a totally different kid from 4 years ago and none of this would be possible without the
Dream Center.

These 66 low income students are children K-5th grade who were most recently added from our waiting

our waiting list. The Dream Center is in need of temporary support to serve these students and their
families as we seek to become a Licensed Child Care Site and receive income from the State of lowa.
The Dream Center becoming a licensed childcare facility means access to affordable childcare
for working families. From the mid-1970s to 2012, workforce participation rates for mothers of
young children rose from 40% to 65%. In lowa, 3 out of 4 househo/ds with children under age 6 have all

Dream Maker Student Sponsor and Licensed Childcare Highlights
The Dream Maker Student Sponsorship Model was established in April 2019 to help connect donors' dollars
directly to student progress. Student sponsors support the costs associated with the benefits that students receive
from the Dubuque Dream Center's holistic "In Your Life Mentoring" Model.
Dream Center programming operates year round for students K-8th grade.All designated Dream Maker giving
levels from $150 to $4,000 are specifically centered around supporting or sponsoring a student for a full year,
school year, and/or summer session (see reverse side).
Complimentary to the Dream Maker Model, the Dream Team exists to provide a more long term option far
donars that would like to schedule an annual gift for multiple years to provide a student with the opportunity to
receive greater impact.
The Dream Center's goal for 2021 is to have 200 students full�ponsored for a FULL YEAR of
programming. We are fundraising for student sponsorships beginning October 2020.
The Dream Center's long term goal is to become a Licensed Childcare Center, which will generate revenue to
assist in covering students'program costs. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the timeline of this projec�has been
extended to 2022, however the building renovation and administrative process is eXpected to begin in 2021.
Once the Dream Center is functioning as a licensed childcare, in 2022, families that request support with Dream
Center program costs will be asked to complete the application for DHS State Child Care financial assistance
for their students in grades K-6th. Low-income families that apply for DHS assistance could receive full support
or partial support based on their household income and other state guidelines.
The Dream Center recognizes that some families may not meet the requirements to receive any DHS assistance,
but they may still need financial support towards Dream Center program costs due to various circumstances.
In the future, it is our desire and goal to utilize our Dream Maker Student Sponsarship System to support all
families who do not qualify for full or partial State Assistance but still need financial support to cover Dream
Center program costs.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT
(use additional pages as needed)
1) Does the property have historic or architectural significance? If not, please
explain and disregard questions 2 and 3.
This property is located in the Washington Neighborhood. Built in the1870's, it is a
2-story brick duplex residential dwelling with historical significance due to its age,
materials, and basic 20th Century architectural style. The building is an all-brick
structure with non-detailed limestone sills and arched lentils. The interior has
Victorian detailing in the trim, stair railing, solid wood doors and pocket doors.
2) Are you earning an economic return from the property or have you consid-
ered any other alternative opportunities to do so? Please explain.
The property is not earning an economic return and currently is not rentable. The
Owner has explored ways for the property to be economically viable, but it is not
feasible based on the significant rehabilitation costs needed for the building.
3) What incentives have you considered, including local, state and federal pro-
grams have you considered to assist in rehabilitation. The following link pro-
vides a list of some of the more frequently used resources in Dubuque:
www.cityofdubuque.org/2234/Financial-Toolbox.
See #14 on the Demolition Application Supporting Documentation Questions.
4) What is your timeline to demolish the building?
If approved, demolition would begin as soon as possible, weather permitting.
5) Please provide the name of contractor.
See Demolition Bid.

Re: 1620&1628 White Street-Structural evaluation of building(s)
Dear Scott:
On February 15th,2021563 Design visited the duplex building at 1620&1628 White street to evaluate the
structural soundness and suitabilityfor rehabilitation of the two-story structure.
Below are our findings:
The main building(s)appears to have been constructed circa.1870.The dates of construction are unknown for
the detached garage buildings along the alley.
The main two-story building(s)exteriors appear to be in an overall poor condition.The front fa�ade requires
brick repair and tuckpointing,window repair and replacement,structural improvements for the front porch,
sidewalk,and steps.Tin cornice requires minimal restoration.The north fa4ade requires brick repair and
tuckpointing.
The rear of the two-story building(s)along with the brick additions appear to have structural damage.There is
significant deterioration of the brick and mortar joints where the settlement cracks have opened the joints along
the rear wall.The exterior structural damage has also extended to the interior.
The two detached garage buildings at the alley are in a state of disrepair.The CMU wall structures are failing and
roofs are deteriorated.
The interiors of each building require extensive rehabilitation.Structural issues and roof leaks have resulted in
significant water damage.Many areas have loose/falling plaster,failing drywall walls and ceilings,mold/mildew
issues,and water damaged wood flooring.There is architectural detailing in the wood trim,stair railing,and
doors and it is our recommendation these items are to be salvaged.
Sincerely,
��

STATEMENT OF THE APPRAISAL PROBLEM
PURPOSE, TYPE OF VALUE, INTENDED USE, AND INTENDED USER:
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market value and feasibility of the property and
improvements located at 1620 & 1628 White Street, Dubuque, lowa. Tim Conlon & Michael
Hunt, of Conlon Construction have requested the appraisal, and are the intended users in
analyzing and evaluating the feasibility of the subject property, which is the intended use. The
appraisal report herein will include the following estimated values; the properties current
condition "As Is", after completion of proposed demolition "Land As Though Vacant", and after
rehabilitation of the existing property "Subject to Completion". The subject property is in very
poor condition and has been reportedly vacant for several years. This data will be analyzed to
provide an opinion with regard to the feasibility of rehabilitation or the consideration of
demolition. Any other user of use is unintended, and requires post report dated prior written
permission of the appraisers.
SCOPE OF THE APPRAISAL:
In preparing this appraisal, we have:
1. Inspected the site, as well as the interior and exterior of the building;
2. Researched public records to determine ownership and other pertinent information;
3. Identified and investigated appropriate market and cost data;
4. Developed an opinion on the estimated values; "As Is", "Land As Though Vacant", and
"Subject to Completion"
5. Reconciled the various findings into an opinion on the feasibility of the rehabilitation of
existing improvements or consideration of demolition.
Per the request of the client and requirements of local commissions, the following criteria will be
addressed.
a.) In the property's current condition; This analysis will include an estimated market value
of the subject property on and "As Is" basis, and the estimated cost of demolition,
provided by McDermott Excavating will be taken into consideration.
b.) After completion of the proposed demolition; This analysis will include a "Land As
Though Vacant" estimated value of site utilizing the Cost Approach to Value.
c.) After rehabilitation of the existing property for continued use; This analysis will estimate
the value of the subject property "Subject to Completion" by utilizing the Sales
Comparison Approach to value. The property will be compared to similar type Duplex
sales within the Dubuque market area. Rehabilitation costs have been provided by
Conlon Construction and will be given consideration throughout analysis herein.
d.) The subject property has been vacant for several years, and is in very poor condition
with significant physical deterioration. The property does not meet basic safe living
standards and utilities have been disconnected for many years. A hypothetical Income
Approach to Value was considered, yet not developed due to the subjective data
anticipated would not produce credible results. The property is not saleable.

poor condition with significant deferred maintenance. The property has reportedly been vacant
for several years and is deemed severely inadequate for living conditions. The subject property
is located along the east side of White Street in a mixed-use neighborhood in the downtown
district of Dubuque. The subject property address is 1620 & 1628 White Street, Dubuque, lowa.
SALES HISTORY:
The subject property has not been transferred or sold within the last 3 years. Nottingham
Properties LLC is the owner of public record. See deeds in addenda of this report.
DATE OF APPRAISAL:
Jon Kane & Tom Kane inspected the subject property on February 22nd, 2021, which is the
effective date of the appraisal. The date of the report is March 5�", 2021.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:
The value estimate herein is based upon the assumption that there are no hazardous materials
in the building or the site. The appraisers are not qualified to discern the presence or absence of
such materials (asbestos, underground tanks, etc.), but are aware that they can have a
significant negative effect upon the value of a property. No responsibility is assumed for any
such conditions, or for any expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them. At
time of walk through and inspection, the improvements appear to have mold. The appraisers are
not qualified to identify various mold, yet are aware of the dangers and negative effect on value.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT:
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. We have not
made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether it is in
conformity with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. As walk-up apartment buildings,
the property does not appear to be in conformity with the ADA. A detailed survey could reveal
that the property is not in compliance with more of the requirements of the ADA, which could
have a negative effect upon its value.

STATEMENT OF THE APPRAISAL PROBLEM
REASONABLE EXPOSURE AND MARKETING TIMES:
The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice require the estimation of a
reasonable exposure time for the subject property, when appropriate. Considering the age,
condition, and quality of the subject addition, it is not deemed appropriate for a exposure of
marketing time to be estimated. The subject property is in very poor condition and has
significant deferred maintenance and physical depreciation that would be deemed inappropriate
for marketing. The subject property has been vacant for the several and is not suitable for
occupancy as of the effective date of this appraisal.
DEFINTIONS:
Fee Simple Interest is defined in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, published by the
Appraisal Institute (6th Edition, 2015, Page 90), as: "absolute ownership unencumbered by
any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental
powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat"
Market Value is defined by federal regulatory agencies pursuant to Title XI of the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) of 1989 and in The Appraisal of
Real Estate, published by the Appraisal Institute (14th Edition, 2013, Page 692), as "the most
probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all
conditions, requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently,
knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this
definition is consummation of a sale as of a specific date and passing title from seller to
buyer under conditions whereby:
1. buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. both parties are well informed or well advised and each acting in what he
considers his own best interest;
3. a reasonab/e time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
4. payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial
arrangements comparable thereto; and
5. the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by
special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated
with the sale."
Extraordinary Assumption is defined The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, published by the
Appraisal Institute (6th Edition, 2015, Page 83 & 84) as: "An assumption, directly related to a
specific assignment, which, if found to be fa/se, could alter the appraiser's opinion's or
conclusions."
2-C.
STATEMENT OF THE APPRAISAL PROBLEM (CONTINUED)
DEFINTIONS (Continued):
Hypothetical Condition is defined in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal published by the
Appraisal Institute (6th Edition, 2015, Page 113) as
1. A condition that is presumed to be true when it is known to be false. (SVP) 2.
2. A condition directly related to a specific assignment, which is contrary to what is
known by the appraiser to exist on the effective date of the assignment results,
but is used for the purpose of the analysis.

Lighting: None
CONCLUSION:
The subject property is deemed to be in very poor condition. The exterior and interior of the
subject addition exhibit significant amounts of physical deterioration and deferred maintenance.
All building components appear to have significant deterioration. The structural integrity of the
property is raises concerns. The interior is in very poor condition and has unfinished flooring,
walls, and ceiling. The windows and roof are 30+ years old, and exhibit significant physical
deterioration and. The apartments have been vacant for several years according to property
manager and all utilities have been turned off. The interior of the property does exhibit mold,
which significantly affects the safety and value of property.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS
DEFINITION:
Highest and Best Use is defined by the Appraisal Institute in The Dictionary of Real Estate
Appraisal, 6th Edition, c. 2015, Page 109, as: "the reasonably probable use of property that
results in the highest value. The four criteria that the highest and best use must meet are
legally permissible, physically possib/e, financially feasible and maximum productivity."
Therefore, when estimating the highest and best use of a property, four basic questions must be
addressed. Is the use physically possible, is it legal, is it financially feasible, and is it maximally
productive? The analysis must include consideration of the highest and best use as if vacant,
and as improved.
Phvsical Analvsis — "AS IF VACANT":
The subject property consists of(2) nearly rectangular shaped parcels with a combined reported
area of 3,900 sq. ft. The subject site is relatively small in size and would have minimal
development uses based on location, frontage, access, site size, and topography. The subject
property has a reported frontage area to White Street of 40'. The site does have access to all
public utilities and there is an Extraordinary Assumption that the soil would be suitable for
development.
Leqal Analysis— "AS IF VACANT":
The subject property is zoned R-2A (Alternative Two-Family Residential) by City of Dubuque
Officials. The district is intended to provide for protection of certain older areas of the community
developed principally as single-family and two-family uses. Characteristics of the R-2A District
are: smaller than average lot widths and area, established building lines much closer to the
public right of way and required setback lines, and or greater lot coverage than allowed in the
more recent developing areas where such requirements can be provided. A copy of the zoning
permitted and conditional uses in included in the addenda of the report.
Feasibilitv— "AS IF VACANT":
Based upon my analysis of the market in the area, demand for well-located parcels is typically
average in the neighborhood, which is an established neighborhood area that is nearly 100%
built-up with continued real estate activity. There are many some properties being acquired for a
change in use to further attract the ever-growing tourism business. The property is relatively
small in site size, yet has adequate access to White Street and a public alley. The access,
frontage, visibility and typical traffic count is deemed average for neighborhood. The subject
property is located in the downtown business district, with a high demand for parking, which
could be the feasible for the subject property "As If Vacant". Consideration of a park or
playground area for the neighborhood is also given consideration
Maximallv Productive— "AS IF VACANT":
As indicated in the Physical, Legal and Financially Feasible sections of the Highest and Best
Use, it is our opinion the maximally productive use of the subject property is a parking area,
park, or playground for nearby neighbors.
8-A.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
Phvsical Analvsis — "AS IMPROVED":
The subject property is improved with a 2-story brick duplex that was built in 1870. The building
has 3,411 sq. ft. above grade, with a full basement. The improvements are deemed to be in very
poor condition with significant physical deterioration. The property has been reportedly vacant
for several years, and all utilities have been disconnected. The property has frontage along
White Street, as well to a public alley.
Leqal Analysis— "AS IMPROVED":
The subject property is zoned R-2A (Alternative Two-Family Residential) by City of Dubuque
Officials. The district is intended to provide for protection of certain older areas of the community
developed principally as single-family and two-family uses. Characteristics of the R-2A District
are: smaller than average lot widths and area, established building lines much closer to the
public right of way and required setback lines, and or greater lot coverage than allowed in the
more recent developing areas where such requirements can be provided. A copy of the zoning
permitted and conditional uses in included in the addenda of the report.
Feasibilitv— "AS IMPROVED":
Based upon the preceding analysis of the subject property and pertinent market factors, the
rehabilitation of the property is not deemed financially feasible based upon the estimated cost to
cure. The property is in very poor condition and disarray, and the provided cost to cure far would
far exceeds the value range of the property as completed. It is our opinion that demolition of the
subject property is the deemed the most feasible option for the subject property. The estimated
rehabilitation cost and demolition estimates are included in addenda of report.
Maximally Productive— "AS IMPROVED":
The subject property is located along the east side of White Street with (2) nearly rectangular
shaped parcels. The property is improved with a 2-story duplex that is in very poor condition
with significant physical deterioration of all building components. Based upon our cost and
market analysis, as well as provided estimates for rehabilitation and demolition, it is our opinion
that demolition of the subject property is deemed the maximally productive use of the subject
property. Rehabilitation of the property was taken into consideration, yet the cost to cure far
outweighs the estimated value range and therefore is not deemed feasible. The estimated
rehabilitation cost and demolition estimated are included in addenda of report.

"AS IS" ANALYSIS OF SUBJECT PROPERTY
METHODOLOGY:
The Sa/es Comparison Approach to Value presumes that no prudent buyer would pay more
for the subject than an amount necessary to acquire an equal substitute, assuming no
undue delay. Thus, sales of similar properties are pertinent in the valuation process. The
estimated value herein will be based on a value range of comparable market sa/es and the
consideration of the estimated cost of demolition. The subject property has been vacant
for several years and has significant physical deterioration of all building components.
With the condition of the building and the apparent mold infestation throughout, raises
concerns. Based upon our viewing of the property and analysis of market data, we feel
that it is not appropriate to directly compare the subject property to other recent sales, as
this would not produce credible data or results on the estimated "As Is" value. Thus, the
following analysis will include a market analysis of duplex sa/es within the downtown
district of Dubuque, lowa. The sa/es found are deemed to be in below average condition,
yet none of them are within the range of quality and condition of the subject property,
therefore there was no Sa/es Comparison Grid deemed necessary. The estimated cost of
demolition, provided by McDermott Excavating, will be taken into consideration.
COMPARABLE SALES ANALYSIS:
On the following page is a market analysis of duplex sales in the downtown district in Dubuque,
lowa. The first set of data was taken from the East Central lowa Multiple Listing Service, and the
second set of data was taken from the Dubuque County Assessor(Beacon). The market analysis
included sales that have transferred within the past 12 months. The sales range in sale price from
$18,000 to $45,000. As stated in the methodology, the sales identified are all deemed to be in
below average condition with significant deferred maintenance at time of sale. The subject
property is deemed to be in far less favorable condition as the sales indicated in the market
analysis due to the physical deterioration, quality, condition, consideration of long-term vacancy,
mechanical systems, and the disconnection of utilities to property
All of the sales were reportedly cash or conventionally financed transactions and no adjustments
for cash equivalency are necessary. Consideration was be considered for size, zoning, condition,
quality of construction, land size, amenities and location.

"AS IS" ANALYSIS OF SUBJECT PROPERTY
After an analysis of the market and consideration of the "As Is" condition, demolition of the
subject improvements will be given strong consideration. Below is the estimated cost to
demolish the improvements on-site. The estimated cost was provided by McDerrmott
Excavating. The conclusions throughout the appraisal herein are subject to the provided
estimated demolition being a market competitive cost estimate. Based on a good working
knowledge of the Dubuque area typical, the represented costs appear reasonable.

"AS IS" ANALYSIS OF SUBJECT PROPERTY
Reconciliation "As Is"
As stated throughout the report and pictures, the subject property is in very poor condition with
significant physical deterioration of all building components. On the previous pages, an analysis
of the downtown market area was done. The analysis included duplex sales that have
transferred within the past 12 months, and are all considered to be in below normal condition
with deferred maintenance. Based upon the far less favorable quality, condition, observation of
mold, structural integrity concerns, and utility disconnection; it is our opinion that a Sales
Comparison Grid would not produce credible results. Based on the "As Is" condition of the
property and research on market, it is our opinion that the estimated cost of demolition far
exceeds the anticipated value of the subject property. Also, the estimated cost to cure far
exceeds the "As Completed" market value. Due to the "As Is" condition of the property, the
property is not deemed saleable. Therefore, the "As Is" estimated value is as follows.
ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE "AS IS"

ZERO DOLLARS

"LAND AS THOUGH VACANT" ANALYSIS
METHODOLOGY:
The Cost Approach to Value presumes that no prudent buyer will pay more for the subject
than an amount necessary to secure equally desirab/e land and build a substitute facility
new. Generally, he will pay somewhat less than Cost New depending upon the estimated
"accrued depreciation" as of the date of his inspection (the date of the appraisal). Due to
the "As Is" condition of the subject property, the Cost Approach to Value will not be full
developed due the significant physical depreciation.Any necessary adjustments would be
completely subjective and would not produce credible results. The decision is also
supported by the fact that typical buyers would not consider the Cost Approach in
evaluating a purchase of a property with o/der improvements. Herein, there is an
Extraordinary Assumption that there are no environment hazards of any kind, and the soil
is suitable for development.
Therefore, the first step in the Cost Approach to Value is to estimate "Land As Though Vacant",
and this result will be the extent of the analysis. The neighborhood is nearly 100% built up with
very limited comparable land sale data. Due to the limited amount of comparable sales data, the
search was expanded in time to include adequate data to estimate market value of "Land As
Though Vacant". Typically, any new construction would be the result of razing existing
improvements.
"LAND AS THOUGH VACANT" ANALYSIS:
The subject property is located in a neighborhood that is nearly 100% built up, with very limited
comparable land sale data. On the following page is a summary of(6) comparable land sales that
have transferred within a reasonable proximity to the subject in the downtown district of Dubuque,
lowa. The Comparable Sales search was expanded in time to include similar land sales to provide
adequate data to estimate a market value. The comparable land sales range in sale price from
$10,000 to $242,862 with site size ranging from 2,574 sq. ft. to 15,376 sq. ft. The unit of value
considered most applicable is the price/sq. ft. of the land area, which is the common denominator
most often used for these types of properties. On a per square foot basis, the indicated range is
$3.88/sq. ft. to $17.22/sq. ft.

"LAND AS THOUGH VACANT" RECONCILIATION
On the preceding pages are (6) comparable land sales that have transferred within the
downtown district of Dubuque. The downtown district is nearly 100°/o built up, with very limited
sales data. On the previous page is a comparable grid analyzing the (6) land sales. The
adjusted price per square foot has a moderate range of$7.56/sq. ft. to $14.64/sq. ft.
Comparable Sale #1 is given the least amount of weight in the final reconciliation, and all other
sales considered. Based on the subject site size, access, and topography; we estimate the prce
per square foot to be near the middle of the adjusted range, which results in "Land As Though
VacanY' to be as follows;
ESTIMATED "LAND AS THOUGH VACANT"
3,900 sq. ft. x $9.75/sq. ft = $38,025

"SUBJECT TO COMPLETION" ANALYSIS
METHODOLOGY:
This analysis will include an estimated value of the subject property "Subject To
Completion"after full rehabilitation of the property. Conlon Construction has provided
cost estimates for the rehabilitation. The conclusions throughout the appraisal herein are
subject to the provided renovation cost and cost to cure being a market competitive cost
estimate. Based on a good working knowledge of the Dubuque area typical construction
costs and a review of the Marshall & Swift Cost Manual, the represented costs appear
reasonab/e. Following the approach to a value and reconciliation are the cost to cure
estimates provided to appraisers.

"SUBJECT TO COMPLETION" ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
Sales Comparison Analvsis —Summary of Sales Comparison Approach
The anticipated subject property is compared to 3 similar type duplex sales within a reasonable
proximity to the subject property. A$20/sq. ft. size adjustment was made based on market data.
Estimated Anticipated Market Value herein of$230,000 calculated to $67.42/sq. ft., which is
above the actual price per square foot of the comparable sales yet deemed reasonable based
on anticipated quality and condition. Due to the limited number of comparable sales within the
immediate subject neighborhood, the search was expanded in proximity and time to include
adequate data to estimate market value. Due to the limited amount of comparable data, some
adjustments are larger than typical, yet deemed necessary for anticipated quality and condition.
Due to the limited number of duplex sales in the subject market area, the anticipated market
value was not bracketed by actual sale price of comparable sales. Comparable Sale #1 is
deemed most like the anticipated subject property and given the most weight in the final
reconciliation, and all other sales considered and given weight.
Upward adjustments are applied/shown when the subject is deemed more favorable than the
comparable sale and conversely downward adjustments are applied/shown when the subject is
deemed less favorable than the comparable sale.All adjustments are based on appraiser's experience
and reflected as a dollar amount for contributory value based on market data and market value.
Therefore, based upon the preceding analysis, the adjusted sale price of the comparable sales
is moderate. The anticipated estimated market value of the subject property "Subject to
Completion" is as follows;
ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE "SUBJECT TO COMPLETION"
$230,000
TWO HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND

CORRELATION AND FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE
Reconciliation
Throughout the appraisal report, there were three opinions of estimated values; "As Is",
"Land As Though Vacant", and "Subject to Completion". The subject property was viewed, and
pertinent market data and estimated costs were evaluated. Provided to the appraisers were
estimated costs to rehabilitate the property and to demolish the property. The conclusions
throughout the appraisal herein are subject to the provided renovation cost and estimated
demolition being a market competitive cost estimate. Based on a good working knowledge of
the Dubuque area typical construction costs and a review of the Marshall & Swift Cost Manual,
the represented costs appear reasonable. Based upon the preceding analysis, it is our opinion
that rehabilitation of the subject property is not feasible. The estimated costs to cure, provided
by Conlon Construction, far exceed the estimated "Subject to Completion" value range. Duplex
properties or income producing properties typically presume that no prudent buyer will pay more
for the subject than the capitalized rental value of the property (net present value), based upon
the buyer's analysis of the recent income and expense history, as it should relate to the future
benefits of ownership. Buyers would typically only be willing to pay the present value of what
she or he perceives those benefits to be. Based upon the estimated cost to cure of
approximately $688,000; the future inherent benefits of ownership are far from feasible based
on market conditions.
An estimated cost for demolition was provided to the appraisers by McDerrmott Excavating,
which was $46,542. After analyzing the "As Is", "Land As Though Vacant", and "Subject to
Completion"; it is our opinion that demolition of the As Is improvements is the most feasible
option for the subject property. Due to the subject property being in very poor condition with
significant physical deterioration, the cost to cure far exceeds the anticipated as completed
value range of subject property. As a result of the preceding analysis, it is our opinion that the
most feasible and maximally productive use of the subject property is demolition. In our opinion,
a typical real estate investor/entrepreneur would not accept the subject property as a gift,
considering the demolition cost. The estimated "Land As Though Vacant" limits the uses of the
subject land, and the cost to renovate the existing building far exceeds the as completed value
range.
Therefore, based upon the preceding analysis, it is our opinion that the Market Value of the Fee
Simple Interest in the subject property, as of February 22nd, 2021 is as follows:
ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE "AS IS" $0
ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE "LAND AS THOUGH VACANT" $39,000
ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE "SUBJECT TO COMPLETION" $230,000

DEMOLITION PERMIT STAFF REPORT Meeting Date: March 18, 2021
Property Address: 1620-1628 White Street
Property Owner: Nottingham Properties
Applicant: Scott Neuwoehner
Project: Demolish the building
Conservation District: Washington Neighborhood Landmark: No
Style: Italianate/vernacular Funding: No Present Land Use: Vacant
Date Built: pre-1884 for 1628; 1892-1908 for 1620 Existing Zoning: R-2A
Level of Siqnificance: Level of Rehabilitation:
Individual form — lowa Site Field Survey 1973 Demolition
Neighborhood — Kriviskey 1978/79
Contributing to a NR District— Jacobsen 2015, listed on the National Register
Phvsical Characteristics: This side-by-side brick duplex appears consistently built, but
was constructed over a 10-25 year period, with the north side pre-dating the 1884
Sanborn Fire Insurance Map and the south side falling between 1891 and 1909,
according to the same maps. The structures are a loose Italianate style and have been
stripped of details on the porch and cornice over the years, but retain curved limestone
arches over the second story elongated windows. The north section first floor
fenestration under the porch has been enlarged. The units have symmetrically placed
side entrances and the south structure shares a party wall with the Dream Center,
formerly the St. Mary's Parish Casino. A full-width, shallow-roofed front porch is shared
across the first floor. Each structure has a concrete block garage at the alley, with the
1628 unit having a early 20t" Century block and the 1620 unit with a middle 20t" Century
block. 1620 has an early two-story brick addition and 1628 has a one-story brick
addition with a recent balcony atop. All the structures have flat roofs.
Ownership, Interest and the Request for Demolition: The Dream Center seeks to
enlarge its footprint to allow for greenspace to allow them to apply for funding to cover
services they are already providing to the community. Because the structure is in a City
designated conservation district, the demolition request comes before the Historic
Preservation Commission. Because the owner and Dream Center have been told this is
a building that is listed and contributing building within the Washington Neighborhood
National Register District, they are presenting an Economic Non-Viability argument
along with their request for demolition.

Staff Analvsis: The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a
contributing building in the Washington Neighborhood National Register Historic District.
Although it is further deteriorated since the latest 2003 survey, it is not less contributing.
Because the applicant is aware of the status, they moved on to the second step of the
application, with an economic non-viability argument.
Should the Commission concur that the structure has historic or architectural
significance, then the commission shall review the portion of the application that outlines
an argument for Economic Non-Viability.
Role of the Commission: The Role of the Historic Preservation Commission is to
review the information and decide as to the following:
STAFF REPORT- Demolition — 1620-1628 White Street Page 7
1. Whether the building proposed for demolition has historic or architectural
significance to the community; if so
2. Whether denial of the proposed demolition permit would prevent the property
owner from earning a reasonable economic return on the property.
Standards for Demolition Review: The city of Dubuque's historic property inventory
and any subsequent official architectural/historical surveys/evaluations and nominations
to the National Register of Historic Places serves as the standard for review.
Economic Guidelines and Review Criteria:
The following guidelines and criteria is from Section 16-10-5 of the City of Dubuque
Unified Development Code:
F. Economic Guidelines And Review Criteria:
1. In determining whether to approve or deny the application, the commission may consider the
information set forth in this subsection. The commission may also investigate strategies which would
allow the property owner to earn a reasonable economic return on the property, may solicit expert
testimony, and may require that the applicant make submissions concerning any or all of the
following information:
a. A bid from a qualified contractor showing the cost of the proposed demolition.
b. A report from a licensed engineer, architect or contractor with experience in rehabilitation as to
the structural integrity of the structure(s) that the applicant proposes to demolish.
c. The appraised value of the property by a licensed appraiser for the following conditions:
(1) In the property's current condition;
(2)After completion of the proposed demolition;
(3)After rehabilitation of the existing property for continued use by providing sales for the
previous six (6) months for at least three (3) comparable properties. If there are not sales for the
previous six (6) months at comparable properties, sales for the previous year at comparable
properties may be used; and
(4) If the property is an income producing property, such valuation must include the rent
scheduled and anticipated income after such rehabilitation, and the same for at least three
comparable properties to substantiate the information provided for the property in question.
d. An estimate from an architect, developer, contractor, or appraiser experienced in rehabilitation
as to the cost to rehabilitate the building to the point of which a reasonable use or a reasonable
profit can be realized from the property, including, but not limited to, bringing a building up to code
so it can be occupied, not necessarily its "highest and best use", preferred use, or a restoration
project.
e. The amount paid for the property, the date of purchase, and the person from whom the property
was purchased, a description of the relationship, if any, if any between the owner of record, the
applicant and the person from whom the property was purchased or is being purchased, and the
terms of the purchase or proposed purchase, including financing.
f. If the property is income producing, copies of the 1040 schedule E or other appropriate forms
and/or schedules filed with the IRS for the previous two (2) years. Such forms must include
operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation deduction and annual cash flow before and
after debt service, if any. Such forms must be signed by the current property owner to certify their
STAFF REPORT- Demolition — 1620-1628 White Street Page 8
authenticity. If such forms/statements are not available, income statements from a certified public
accountant or licensed public accountant on letterhead and signed may be substituted.
g. The name of all mortgagees and the balance of all mortgages or other financing secured by the
property and annual debt service, if any, for the previous two (2) years. Debt service is the amount
of principal and interest payments paid annually on the property.
h. All appraisals obtained within the previous two (2)years by the owner or applicant in connection
with the purchase, financing and ownership of the property.
i. Any listing of the property for sale or rent, the price asked and offers received for sale or rent, if
any, within the previous five (5) years.
j. The assessed value of the property for the previous two (2) assessment years.
k. The amount of real estate taxes assessed for the previous two (2) assessment years and
whether or not they have been paid.
I. The form of ownership or operation of the property, whether sole proprietorship, for profit or not
for profit corporation, limited partnership,joint venture or other.
m. Any other information considered necessary by the commission to determine whether the
property yields or may yield a reasonable economic return to the property owner(s). A"reasonable
economic return" is defined as the cost to rehabilitate the building to the point at which a
reasonable use or a reasonable profit can be realized from the property. This may mean bringing a
building up to code to the point at which it can be occupied, not necessarily to its "highest and best
use", preferred use or a restoration project.
n. Proof of the applicant's efforts to obtain financing, tax incentives, preservation grants and other
incentives to allow the applicant to earn a reasonable economic return from the property.
o. Documents detailing the applicant's efforts in ongoing maintenance and repair. This may
include, but is not limited to, tax statements and/or copies of invoices.
End of Code Section 16-10-5
Requested Action: The Commission's role is to review the attached application for
demolition and supporting documentation for an Economic Non-Viability argument.
If the Commission finds the building proposed for demolition does not have historic or
architectural significance the Commission should approve the application. If the
Commission finds the building proposed for demolition has historic or architectural
significance the Commission should deny the application.
Because the applicant has provided a subsequent application for a certificate of
Economic Non-Viability, the Commission has the ability to review that information at this
meeting, to determine whether a reasonable economic return can be earned on the
property. If a reasonable economic return cannot be earned, the Commission should
approve the application for demolition.

RE: City of Dubuque's Commitment to Historic Preservation
INTRODUCTION
Dubuque, lowa is a community well known for its natural beauty and its historic
architecture that makes up much of the downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. As
lowa's oldest city, Dubuque's strong historic preservation ethic goes back decades.
The City of Dubuque is committed to identifying and conserving its cultural resources.
We recognize that the historic, architectural and archeological resources of Dubuque
are a key to our economic success and quality of life. These resources, like the
Mississippi River, help form Dubuque's unique identity.
Historic preservation is the poster child of sustainability—with its economic,
environmental, and cultural benefits. Preservation enhances the vibrancy of
neighborhoods and cities, instilling pride and value through increased property values,
as well as enhanced quality of life, sense of place and neighborhood pride. Preservation
translates into economic prosperity through creation of new jobs, retention of existing
jobs — especially in construction trades, stimulation of private investment, tourism and
business growth, and financial investment in property improvements in Dubuque.
Dubuque's rise from its renown economic troubles of the 1980s was in part due to its
recognition of and dedication to the notion that what makes us unique can be our
source of strength. Instead of mimicking other communities or trying to reinvent
ourselves, we turned to our foundation of our strong building stock and environmental
and culture heritage. We set out to preserve what we have, make it functional for the
21 St Century and enhance the community with sensitive and relevant infill development
when warranted.
Dubuque has been continually in the forefront of historic preservation in lowa and has
received national recognition. With the City's commitment to education and training, the
Planning Services Department and the Historic Preservation Commission can help
identify treatment approaches, potential financial incentives, and other resources
available to assist property owners.
BACKGROUND
The City's commitment to historic preservation began in the mid 1970's as the
community reacted to the wholesale clearance of downtown blocks through urban
renewal programs. As a result of the foresight of early leaders, Dubuque has one of the
largest collections of historic building stock in lowa. The community's commitment
continues today and into the future with our focus on sustainability and resiliency.
The City of Dubuque has a historic preservation ordinance and a variety of preservation
incentives that protect and enhance our community's historic resources and identity.
The City has designated 5 local historic preservation districts, 9 conservation districts,
11 local landmarks, 19 National Register Historic Districts and 3 conservation planning
areas supported by an active Historic Preservation Commission. There exists overlap
between many of the conservation and historic districts.
Illustrated design guidelines are available for historic districts as well as the Downtown,
Historic Millwork District, and older neighborhoods. The City has documented the
historical and architectural significance of nearly 5,700 properties in Dubuque.
Dubuque's historic preservation regulations, historic surveys, and architectural
guidelines are a resource to guide property owners, contractors, and design
professionals with preserving and enhancing the historic characteristics of a building, in
turn fostering neighborhood stability and community vitality.
HISTORIC RESOURCES
In 1976, the Dubuque Architectural Survey was completed, and conservation districts
were established as precursors to historic districts. The City Council adopted a Historic
Preservation Ordinance in 1977, and then established the Historic Preservation
Commission (HPC) in 1979 to assist in the review, retention and promotion of
historically significant properties and districts in the city of Dubuque.
Survey/Evaluation Program
The City Council designated 5 local historic districts, 8 conservation districts, and 8 local
landmarks from 1979 to 1984 based on the 1976 Architectural Survey. This inventory
was bolstered after Dubuque's many architectural themes and historic contexts were
recorded in the 1999 Comprehensive Survey and the 2000 Community Assessment
funded in part by the State of lowa. This documentation is the foundation for phased
historical/architectural surveys/ evaluations of our older residential and commercial
neighborhoods. The City has retained consultants to survey and evaluate 5,653
structures using local, state and federal funds.

Since 2000, based on the phased survey/evaluation program, the City Council has
locally designated these additional resources: 1 new conservation district, 1 expanded
conservation district, 3 local landmarks, 4 individual historic properties, and 3
conservation planning areas. In addition, the HPC was able to use the phased
survey/evaluation program results for preparation of five NRHP historic district
nominations that were approved in 2015.
Historical Resources Inventory
The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is a program led by the National
Park Service to designate, coordinate and support public and private effort to identify,
evaluate, and protect our country's historic and archeological resources. Many of
Dubuque County's nationally recognized cultural resources are found in the City of
Dubuque, including: 2 of 3 National Historic Landmarks, 1 of 5 archeological districts, 19
of 21 historic districts, and 48 of 61 structures individually listed in the NHRP.
https://www.cityofdubuque.orq/2156/National-Reqister-Properties
Approximately 2,500 National Historic Landmarks are designated by the National Park
Service as exceptional places of national significance. There are 25 in lowa. Two of
Dubuque County's 3 National Historic Landmarks are in the city of Dubuque: Old
Dubuque County Jail and William M. Black steamboat.
The City Council has preserved 696 structures in 5 local historic districts: Cathedral,
Jackson Park, Langworthy, West 11t" Street, and Old Main. In 2005, all 5 local historic
districts were listed in the National Register and designated as Urban Revitalization
Areas for tax abatement. https://www.cityofdubuque.orq/387/Local-Historic-Districts
The City Council has designated 11 local landmarks and landmark sites: City Hall,
Dubuque County Courthouse, Old Dubuque County Jail, William M. Black steamboat,
Shot Tower, Mathias Ham House, Julien Dubuque Monument, Four Mounds Estate,
Eagle Point Park, Carnegie-Stout Public Library and Dubuque-Dunlieth Bridge. All 11
local landmarks also are listed in the National Register.
https://www.cityofdubuque.orq/341/City-Designated-Landmarks
The City Council has designated 4 individual historic properties. These properties
are not of a landmark status or located within a historic district, but they do have
prehistoric, historic, architectural, archeological and/or cultural significance. Two are
also listed in the NRHP.
The HPC reviews demolition requests in the 9 conservation districts designated by
the City Council that protect 1,204 structures in the downtown and surrounding older
neighborhoods outside of locally designated historic districts.
https://www.cityofdubuque.orq/1461/Conservation-Districts
Design Review
In the locally-designated historic districts, landmarks, and individual historic properties,
the HPC has design review authority for exterior alterations that require a building
permit, are visible from the public right-of-way, and represent a material change in
appearance. The HPC also reviews demolition requests for these sites. For exterior
alterations that are not a material change or clearly conform with the established
Architectural Guidelines, Planning Services staff can sign-off on the permit. These sites
also are eligible for historic preservation funding.
Properties in a conservation district are subject to HPC review of demolition requests
only and may be eligible for this funding. The Housing and Community Development
Department reviews potential housing loss with demolition requests in the historic and
conservation districts.
RESPONDING TO CHALLENGES
In the 1990's, historic preservation faced many challenges in Dubuque. Residents in
two historic districts petitioned the City Council to be removed from these areas. The
Historic Preservation Commission was overturned on appeal to the City Council for the
demolition of two downtown commercial structures anchoring prominent corners in two
other historic districts. Historic district property owners appealed to the City Council on
the Commission's prohibition to install vinyl siding to abate lead-based paint.
As a result of this series of events, the City Council determined that a renewed focus on
historic preservation was needed and re-assigned the program to the Planning Services
Department. In April 1999, the City Council directed the HPC to review and update the
Historic Preservation Ordinance, and to identify solutions to the problems and
deficiencies that caused the conflicts.
The HPC and Planning Services staff worked with historic district property owners,
contractors, and representatives from the Dubuque Area Board of Realtors, Dubuque
County Historical Society, and Dubuque Main Street. Based on the HPC's
recommendations, the City Council adopted numerous measures in 2001 to encourage
preservation over demolition -- using a "carrot and stick" approach of expanded
incentives and stronger regulations.
Expanded Historic Preservation Incentives:
• Established Architectural and Streetscape/Landscape Design Guidelines.
• Created a Historic Preservation Homeowner Grant Program for low to moderate
income households.
• Created a Historic Preservation Revolving Loan Fund for exterior improvements
for property owners at any income level in the 5 historic districts.
• Expanded the Urban Revitalization Program, a 10-year city property tax
exemption for qualified improvements to residential properties, to all 5 historic
districts.
• Created the Historic District Public Improvement Program to provide matching
grants for streetscape improvements in the 5 local historic districts and at
landmarks.
Stronger Historic Preservation Regulations:
• Added a Preservation Alternatives step to the design review process, which
requires a property owner to attempt to obtain financial incentives and restoration
alternatives sufficient for the owner to earn a reasonable economic return.
• Prohibited Demolition by Neglect, to require owners of historic property to keep
their real estate in good repair, to stop a small problem before it becomes a large
problem, and to offer information and assistance on preventative maintenance
with historically appropriate methods and materials.
• Initiated the Boarded-Up Windows and Doors Ordinance which prohibits
boarded-up windows and doors on any building facade facing the street side of a
property. The ordinance requires windows be maintained on street sides of
buildings to combat the blighting influence boarded-up windows and doors have
on buildings and neighborhoods.
Since these Historic Preservation Ordinance amendments and historic preservation
incentives were implemented, the HPC has not been challenged by appeals to the City
Council to waive standards for exterior alterations. Using this "carrot and stick"
approach of expanded incentives and stronger regulations has helped create a positive
image for historic preservation efforts and spurred other local initiatives in support of
historic preservation in Dubuque and elsewhere.
PRESERVATION-RELATED PLANNING
The City of Dubuque takes pride in our success through "People, Planning, and
Partnerships". Historic preservation is a key component of these initiatives.
➢ The City Council set long-range goals and objectives for historic preservation in
the City's 1995 Comprehensive Plan, reaffirming them in the 2002, 2008, 2012
and 2017 updates of the Plan.
➢ In 2002, the City Council adopted the Port of Dubuque Master Plan. The Port is
home to several National Register properties and the America's River project.
The Master Plan provides for a dense urban development pattern reflective of
Downtown Dubuque and supports a riverFront revitalization effort that includes
cultural and heritage tourism as well as design standards that reflect Dubuque's
historic downtown architecture.
➢ The City Council recognized the importance of the historic, architectural and
cultural resources of downtown and surrounding neighborhoods with the
adoption of the Downtown Dubuque Master Plan in 2004. The Plan evaluates
current conditions, catalyst opportunities, and barriers to investment for
Downtown's historic features. It also describes priority actions for protecting and
encouraging redevelopment of historic resources in Downtown.
➢ In 2009, the City Council adopted the Washington Neighborhood Strategic
Plan to directly address identified issues and to plan for an improved future for
the neighborhood through a broad range of strategies. The Plan includes
strategies for preservation and conservation of historic resources in Dubuque's
oldest neighborhood.
➢ The Historic Millwork District Master Plan adopted by the City Council in 2009
is intended to foster opportunities to retain, recruit and expand businesses,
transforming over one million square feet of vacant and/or underutilized space
into a "live, work, and play" community. The growing mix of office, commercial,
entertainment, and residential uses is supported by the Plan's unique melding of
market opportunities, sustainable and architectural design, historic preservation,
and sound planning principles.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Design guidelines are in place for Dubuque's historic districts, downtown, and older
neighborhoods to protect and enhance their historic, cultural and aesthetic resources.
Architectural Guidelines
In 2001, the City Council adopted Streetscape/Landscape and Architectural Design
Guidelines for the 5 local historic districts. In 2009, the City Council adopted a
Downtown Design Guidelines Manual for both exterior architectural design and
streetscape/landscape design.
In 2014, the City Council adopted Architectural Guidelines that updated and combined
these earlier Design Guidelines for Historic Districts and the Downtown into one user-
friendly manual. This manual was expanded to include sustainability and accessibility
guidelines.
The 2014 Architectural Guidelines seek to balance objectivity with flexibility; i.e., to
manage change so the traditional character of the area is respected while
accommodating compatible improvements. They reflect our sustainability-oriented goals
to promote economic development, enhance the image of the area, and reuse historic
resources.
Old Town Neighborhood Site Design Guide
Adopted in 2009 as part of the Unified Development Code, these design guidelines for
development in Dubuque's older neighborhoods provide form-based site design
guidelines where strict application of "suburban-style" site design standards for new
commercial, industrial and residential development are difficult to apply due to the
dense development patterns of these older urban areas. They are intended to
encourage new development that is compatible with historic districts, downtown, and
older neighborhoods in conservation planning areas.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION INCENTIVES
Due to the commitment to historic preservation by the City Council, HPC, City staff, and
neighborhood associations, Dubuque has one of lowa's best preservation programs,
with many financial tools available to help finance rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of
historic structures.
Financial Toolbox
The City's Financial Toolbox is extensive, with federal, state, and local incentives
available for qualifying projects providing new jobs and investment in Dubuque. New
and existing businesses are eligible for these economic development programs, which
provide assistance to areas that include all or part of the City's 5 historic districts and 9
conservation districts. The City also has created several financial incentives geared
specifically to locally-designated historic properties.
The Historic Preservation Revolving Loan Fund provides 3% loans for 10 years for
HPC-approved exterior changes in the historic districts and individually-designated
historic properties, and to correct demolition by neglect violations in conservation
districts. The program provides loans up to $25,000 to property owners at any income
level on a competitive and qualifying basis. Priority is given to projects that save,
restore or reconstruct original building elements.
The Fa�ade Grant Program is available for qualified fa�ade renovations in the Greater
Downtown Urban Renewal District. The grants are used to eliminate inappropriate
additions or alterations, to repair facades to their historic appearance, to rehabilitate the
farade to improve the overall appearance, and to install signage that meets the
Architectural Guidelines.
The Historic Property Tax Rebate Program encourage property owners to preserve,
rehabilitate, restore, and reconstruct historic properties in the Greater powntown Urban
Renewal District with rebates on new taxable valuation for ten years.
The City of Dubuque joined its local partners to support the retention of Historic Tax
Credits on the state and federal levels, knowing the importance of these two tools to
help local citizens and developers take on tough projects, restoring and revitalizing
Dubuque's built environment.
Expansion of the Urban Revitalization District Program
The Housing & Community Development Department evaluated the Urban
Revitalization District Program that provides property tax exemption on improvements
made to properties. These districts were expanded to cover all Community
Development Block Group eligible areas located downtown. The expansion
encompassed the city's historic and conservation districts as well.
https://www.cityofdubuque.org/828/Urban-Revitalization-Proqram
City Commitment to Funding Structures in Historic & Conservation Districts
The City has been committed to funding structures located in the historic and
conservation districts.
Previous Five Years
In the past five years, the Economic Development has provided $12,212,640 in
incentives to properties located in historic and conservation districts, that have
leveraged $109,548,106.34 in funds. These properties received funding for interior &
exterior rehabilitation, farade renovation, and housing creation.
In the last five years, the Housing & Community Development Department has spent
$2,317,349 on rehabilitation of structures in the conservation district areas. All
properties rehabilitated went through the federally mandated Section 106 review to
ensure compliance to historic standards. In addition to rehabilitation of properties, the
Housing Department has spent $6.5 million in Bee Branch Healthy Homes funds to
keep structures viable and maintained after experiencing significant flooding in the
conservation districts. All 325 units have been through a Section 106 review.
Additionally, in the past five years, the Housing Department has spent $3.4 million in
Lead & Healthy Homes Program, assisting structures built prior to 1976 to remediate
lead hazards, which also helps maintain the structures and rehabilitate to historic
standards.
Next Five Years
In the 5-Year CIP Budget, the Economic Development Department is expected to
provide $2.7 million of incentives in these districts. In the next five years, the Housing &
Community Development Department expects to spend $1.5 million in Bee Branch
Healthy Homes Funds, $2.4 million in Lead & Healthy Homes Funds, and $2.1 million in
rehabilitation of homes.
BUILDING CODE OPTIONS
The City Council has adopted the Uniform Code for Building Conservation, the
International Building Code, and the Dubuque Historic Building Code, created in 2003.
The adoption of three building codes gives owners, contractors, architects and the
Building Services staff alternatives when working with existing buildings. It also reduces
the barrier (real and/or perceived) of codes when property owners are contemplating
renovation of their downtown buildings.
PRESERVATION PARTNERSHIPS
The City of Dubuque prides itself on our community partnerships, and historic
preservation is no exception. The HPC has found good community support and a strong
funding commitment from the City Council and other partners at the local, regional and
state levels for growing list of preservation tools and incentives.
The City of Dubuque participates in the Certified Local Government (CLG) program of
the State Historic Preservation Office. As a CLG, the City is eligible for grants to
conduct a variety of historic preservation activities. These have included development of
design guidelines and the phased survey/evaluation program. The 2015 CLG grant
partly funded an archeological survey/evaluation and NRHP nomination for Eagle Point
Park, matched with an in-kind donation of professional services by a local preservation
consultant. Generally, the City utilizes local support coupled with CLG Grants annually
to support surveys, preservation plans and preservation education, like the example of
co-hosting the Preserve lowa Summit in 2020.
The City of Dubuque is a long-standing, award-winning Main Street Community
working in partnership with the lowa Main Street Office and Dubuque Main Street. In
1985 Dubuque was chosen by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, founder of
the Main Street Program, to be one of the pilot cities for the new Urban Demonstration
Program. Dubuque was one of the first five communities in the nation to receive the
"Great American Main Street" award.
Dubuque Main Street is dedicated to the development and ongoing support of a vibrant
downtown and serves seven downtown districts. Public/private partnerships and City
investments have been key in the redevelopment of downtown. In recent years
Dubuque has seen record amounts invested in building rehabilitation and fa�ade
improvements through our Main Street program, creating thousands of full-time jobs
and enabling hundreds of new businesses starts and expansions. The HPC partners
with Dubuque Main Street during "Architecture Days" with presentation of the annual
Ken Kringle Historic Preservations Awards.
In 2004, Dubuque was one of 8 cities with a Cultural and Entertainment District
designated by the State of lowa. The Cultural and Entertainment District has fast
tracked downtown revitalization projects that used State tax credits.
Preservation lowa was organized in 1991 as the statewide preservation organization to
build partnerships that enhance our economic and cultural future through preservation
of lowa's historic resources. The City of Dubuque is an active member.
The National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NAPC) is the only organization
devoted solely to representing the nation's preservation design review commissions.
NAPC provides technical support and manages an information network to help local
commissions accomplish their preservation objectives. The City of Dubuque is an active
member and hosted NAPC regional training workshops in 2008 and 2010.
In 2004, Dubuque was designated as lowa's first Preserve America Community.
Preserve America is a White House initiative in cooperation with the Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation, the U.S. Department of the Interior, and the U.S. Department
of Commerce. Designation recognizes communities that: protect and celebrate their
heritage; use their historic assets for economic development and community
revitalization; and encourage people to experience and appreciate local historic
resources through education and heritage tourism.
In 2005, Dubuque was named as one of America's Dozen Distinctive Destinations
by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the country's largest private, nonprofit
preservation organization. This is an annual list of unique and lovingly preserved
communities. Dubuque was selected from nearly 80 destinations in 44 states. In 2018,
the National Trust featured Dubuque as the cover story in Preservation Magazine,
entitled Finding Dubuque.
The HEART (Housing Education and Rehabilitation Training) Program is a
public/private partnership that provides at-risk students with vocational construction
training and education through the complete rehabilitation of blighted properties in
Dubuque. HEART helps revitalize older neighborhoods, creating quality, affordable,
historic homes for families that follow architectural guidelines for historic preservation.
Heritage Works, a preservation non-profit founded in 2015, facilitates collaboration for
catalytic preservation and restoration projects; provides advocacy for historic
preservation; and educates about Dubuque's rich historic and architectural heritage.
FACILITATORS FOR SUCCESS
For many years, the Planning Services Department has served as a facilitator more
than a regulator by striving to reach a win-win-win for the property owner/developer, the
neighborhood, and the community for historic preservation and development services.
Since 1990, Planning Services staff has coordinated and facilitated the Development
Review Team with staff representing the Fire, Water, Engineering and Building Services
Departments. These staff meet weekly with developers to discuss projects. Getting
everyone in the same place (one stop shop) and engaged in open dialogue is extremely
beneficial. This is the formula for Dubuque's redevelopment success, which in large part
involves the adaptive reuse of Downtown buildings and sites.
In 2009, the City adopted the Unified Development Code (UDC) that updates and
merges zoning, subdivision, historic preservation, and sign regulations into a user-
friendly format that recognizes the diverse physical characteristics of Dubuque's
neighborhoods, encourages planned and managed growth, reduces obstacles, and
incorporates sustainable design and best management practices. The flexible parking
standards help preserve the built environment and also help facilitate adaptive reuse
projects. Dubuque also has a historic building code that offers flexibility from modern
building codes.
The UDC incorporates by reference architectural and site design guidelines for
development in older walkable neighborhoods where strict application of "suburban-
style" site design standards for new development are difficult to apply due to the dense
development patterns of these older urban areas. We want to encourage new
development that is compatible with the "True Urbanism" of these neighborhoods.
The success of the City's historic preservation program, however, lies more in our
people than the codes or guidelines. In general, our approach is not to simply inform,
but to facilitate and be a part of the project. Planning Services staff works hard to
connect people to resources and incentives. We help facilitate federally mandated
Section 106 reviews for potential impacts to historic properties for City projects. Staff
works closely and efficiently with property owners and developers and we invest a
tremendous effort in our historic preservation program. We prioritize our survey and
registration program which helps connect developers to historic tax credits.
FROM REGULATOR TO EDUCATOR
In 2010, the HPC recognized the importance of re-introducing an education and
outreach component to their regulatory duties. At that time, it was understood by all that
public outreach through education, promotion, and awareness was desperately needed
to reconnect preservation with the public and advance the City's preservation program.
Shortly thereafter, the HPC formed an Education Task Force. By 2013, the Task Force
successfully created a promotional brochure, worked with the City Assessor to label
historic district buildings on their website, and hosted educational events on researching
property history and available financial resources. The Task Force leveraged private
and state grants to convert historic city directories to digital format in 2013 and helped
sponsor a series of historic wood windows workshops in 2014, led by non-profit
partners.
In 2014, the City Council adopted new demolition regulations recommended by the HPC
that have a two-part test: 1) Is the structure significant or not; and 2) If yes, is there a
reasonable economic return based on uniform demolition review criteria. Decisions are
made by the HPC.
In 2014, the City Council also adopted new Architectural Guidelines that offer a
combination of preferred approach and acceptable approach. The "stoplight" format is
intended to facilitate the planning, review and approval process:
o Green Liqht — the appropriate or preferred approach
o Yellow Liqht — may be an acceptable or alternative approach; however, further
research and consultation with Planning Services Staff is needed
o Red Liqht - an inappropriate approach that can detract from a structure's
architectural integrity or may cause damage to a building or architectural feature.

HPC Work Plan
In 2014, the HPC voted in favor of transitioning the Commission from a role focused on
design review to a role focused on education and outreach. The role is more reflective
of all the duties and responsibilities of the HPC set forth in the Historic Preservation
Ordinance. The transition also provides for design review at the Staff level which in turn
better serves our residents.
The workplan identifies projects and goals under two broad categories: Outreach &
Education and Survey & Registration Projects.
CONCLUSION
Historic Preservation is one of the most important tools for economic prosperity,
environmental integrity, and social/cultural vibrancy. The greenest building is the one
that is already built. As it does in other cities across the country, for decades historic
preservation in Dubuque has served as a means for community education; downtown
revitalization and neighborhood stabilization; attraction for tourism, job creation, film
industry production; affordable, workforce and luxury housing; walkable neighborhoods
and other contributions to community and economic development.
Dubuque is a tremendous example of "leading edge" preservation efforts that can be
accomplished through leveraging funds and forming partnerships. The City of
Dubuque's array of historic preservation regulations, guidelines and incentives are not
found in many communities. Dubuque's programs can serve as a model for historic
preservation commissions from across the country and are especially relevant for small
to medium-sized cities.
Last, but certainly not least, nobody does it alone...People, Planning and Partnerships.
Dubuque does partnerships perhaps better than any other community we know. The
City's commitment to historic preservation through regulations, guidelines, and
incentives, and our active partnerships with local, state, and national preservation
organizations, has created one of the strongest historic preservation programs in lowa,
the region, and maybe the country.

THE CITY OF Dubuque

DUB E '�1e1,���

Masterpiece on the Mississippi
�
2007
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Proposed Expansion of Washington Neighborhood Conservation District
DATE: February 17, 2011
There have been requests to exclude certain properties from the Conservation District
being considered in the Washington Neighborhood. I believe two of those requests
have merit.
The Blum Scrap Yard area woufd be appropriate to exclude. Should this property ever
be considered for a change of use, the City would want the fewest obstacles to the
achievement of that goal.
Heartland Financial/Dubuque Bank and Trust have a long history of creating jobs in
downtown and rehabilitating historic properties. They have rehabilitated both their
original banfc building at 1398 Central Avenue and the former Walsh Store at 1301
Central Avenue, at a cost of millions of dollars. They are responsible for hundreds of
jobs in the downtown.
Heartland Financial/Dubuque Bank and Trust owns several properties along the east
side of White Street from 14th Street up to Brannon Monument. They are also
interested in acquiring more property, to take in the entire blocks to Jackson Street.
The intent of Heartland Financial/Dubuque Bank and Trust, within the next five years, is
to build a new downtown office facility and create jobs. They have examined reusing
the existing structures, as they did with the Walsh Store, but they do not meet their
needs.
Their intent would be to move the buildings, if it proved feasible.
I respectFully recommend the exclusion of the Blum property from 16th Street to 15tn
Street along Elm Street and the property between 14th and 13th Street from White Street
to Jackson Street, from the Conservation District.

Re: Request to Exempt Praperty Owned by Dubuque Bank and Trust Company
on White Street from the Washington Street Conservation District
Dubuque Bank and Trust Company presently owns property on the east side of White
Street between 13�'and 14'h Streets and may own additional property on that hlock in the
future.
Heartland Financial USA, Inc. and Dubuque Bank and Trust Company have invested
heavily in economic development in the City of Dubuque. We have interest in further
economic development in downtown Dubuque and the Washington Neighborhood.
To foster our future efforts we ask the City Council to exempt the block bounded by 13�',
White, 14th and Jackson Streets from any extension of the Washington Street
Conservation District. Should that block be included in the district, it may deter further
economic development by our companies in downtown Dubuque.
We appreciate the City of Dubuque's considerable efforts in the rejuvenation of the city
and the economic benefits as well as jobs that have foliowed. We are asking for this
exemption in order for us to further collaborate with the City of Dubuque in our
collective development efforts.

SU�JECT: Expansion of Washington Neighborhood Conservation District
DAl'E: January 13, 2011
IN1'RODl1CTION
This memorandum transmits for Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) review and
recommendation, an ordinance for expansion of the Washington Neighborhood
Conservation District to encompass the entire neighborhood. An HPC public hearing on
the proposal is scheduled for January 20, 2011. Maps and other materials are enclosed.
�ACKGROUND
Conservation districts provide for an HPC review process for demolition permits and
access to low-interest loans for correcting Demolition by Neglect deficiencies.
Expansion of the Washington Neighborhood Conservation District is an implementation
step of the Washington Neighborhood Strategic Plan. City staff will provide a brief
overview of the Strategic Plan and the proposal at the HPC's public hearing. The
Strategic Plan's Executive Summary is enclosed.
Before making a decision on this proposal, the City Council has asked the HPC to hold
a public hearing, and then send a recommendation back to the City Council. The City
Council has approved a six-month demolition permit moratorium for the Washington
Neighborhood through June 22, 2011 to allow the HPC an opportunity to study the
expansion of the District, and to hold a public hearing on the proposed expansion.
Enclosed are a letter to property owners, a flyer with questions and answers about
conservation districts, a map of the proposed expansion of the Washington
Neighborhood Conservation Districf, and a notice about th� Commi�sion's public
hearing that was mailed fo fihe 466 property owners in the proposed district.

DISCUSSIOI� ,
Expansion of the Washington Neighborhood Conservation District is an implementation '
step in the Economic Development and Housing Strategies sections of the Washington
Neighborhood Strategic Plan. Expansion of the Conservation District also responds to ';
recommendations of the Safe Community Task Force. '
�
Washington Neighborhood Strategic Plan '
On April 20, 2009, the City Council reviewed and accepted the Washington
Neighborhood Strategic Plan. The Plan has three core strategic issues: 1. Economic
Development; 2. Families, Youth and Education; and 3. Housing.
The Strategic Plan lists 68 separate recommendations under these categories, covering
a broad range of strategies to directly address identified issues and to plan for an ;
improved future for the neighborhood. The enclosed Neighborhood Strategies Maps
that highlight the recommended Economic Development and Housing action steps.
�
A major focus of the Strategic Plan concerns preservation, conservation, land use �
control, and rezoning portions of the Washington Neighborhood. Major strategies in the
E�onomic Development and Housing categories related to preservation are: '
;
• Preserve vacant storefronts to reserve an inventory of available, good quality
space for expansion and new business opportunities.
• Maintain and preserve the existing historic buildings and urban fabric of the �
Central Avenue business district as a special part of the neighborhood's brand. �
,
• Expand�xis#ing conse�vafion dis�►-icts to the neigh�borhood�boundaries.
;
• Consider designating the area as a historic district to market the area and access
federal and state tax incentives and City historic preservation incentives. '�
• Retract commercial zoning that extends into residential areas, particularly south
of 14t" Street. I
;
• Phase out industrial areas in the south end of the neighborhood, particularly in ,
light of the planned redevelopment of the Historic Millwork District. ;
;
Like all planning documents, the Washington Strategic Plan will prove useful only to the ;
extent that a sustained implementafion effort is maintained and achieved. The City �
already has focused many of its neighborhood stabilization programs in the Washington '
Rleighborhood. The Washington Neighborhood Development Corporation has been ',
created (see enclosure). Expansion of the Washington Neighborhood Conservation j
District is an important action step for neighborhood stabilizafiion that will in furn foster '
the above action steps. Distric� expansion also supporfs the substantial Cifiy investment ,
in fhe neighborhood's revitalization. '

Safe Corr�munity Task Force
The Safe Community Task Force's recommendations for Management of Physical
Environment include improving Dubuque neighborhoods by:
(a) encouraging home ownership;
(b) encouraging a mixed income approach to neighborhood development; and
(c) creating (or re-creating) a sense of place through good design.
Expansion of the.Washington Neighborhood Conservation District responds to the Task
Force recommendations by encouraging homeownership and mixed-use opportunities,
while preserving the character and sense of place of the neighborhood. As shown on
the Existing Land Use map, the Washington Neighborhood is a mixed —use
neighborhood with many single-family and duplex units, scattered multi-family units, and
major commercial zones in the Central/White corridor and the Five Points area.
Defining a Conservation District
UDC Section 10-11 defines a Conservation District as an area which:
• Encompasses historically and architecturally significant buildings, sites,
structures, or districts, including potential national or local historic districts; and
� Is important to maintain and preserve for its economic and social value and as a
neighborhood or area of affordable housing.
The 1Nashington Neighborhood meets the definition of a Conservation District. The area
has a substantial collection of historically and architecturally significant residential and
commercial structures. The �eighborhood encompasses one of the o(dest, most
established, and most diverse residential areas of Dubuque. Many buildings are eligible
for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The area offers a walkable, mixed-
use neighborhood with affordable housing and commercial businesses.
Dubuque has five historic districts, nine conservation districts, and three conservation
planning areas. A Conservation Planning Area has defined geographic boundaries;
contains areas within a historical, architectural or archeological survey; has a history of
good overall maintenance and where architectural interest is high; and the City of
Dubuque has undertaken the study of the area.
As shown on the Relationships to Historic Surveys map, the 1Nashington Neighborhood
includes a portion of all three conservation planning areas. As shown on the Historically
Significant Properties map, there are 426 significant properties identified to date by
historic/architectural surveys, Section 106 reviews, or preservation tax credit projects in
the Washington Neighborhood.
As shown on the Age of Building Stock map, most of the structures in the Washingtan
Neighborhood were built prior to the 1920's. Pofenfially, a number of structures not
evaluated in the existing surveys could have historic or neighborhood significance due
to their construction dates and building styles.

Establishment of a Cons�rvation District
UDC Section 10-11 of the Unified Development Code describes the process for
expanding a conservation district, which is as follows. A written request is submitted to
the City Clerk. Any person may make a,request to the City Council for creation of a
conservation district. !
i
At its next regular meeting following receipt of the request, the City Council may: ;
approve or deny the request, set the request for consideration at a subsequent meeting, �
set the request for a public hearing, or refer the request to the HPC for a
recommendation before voting on the request. �
;
Demolition Permit Review in Conservation Districfs
UDC Section 10-11 B describes the process for HPC review of demolition permits in a '
conservation district. The process may take approximately 30-90 days from the date a �
complete application is filed with the Planning Services Department. i
The HPC must determine: 1) whether the building proposed for demolition has historic ,
or architectural significance to the community; and 2) whether denial of the demolition �
permit would prevent the property owner from earning a reasonable economic return on ;
the property according to economic review criteria specified by City Code. ';
If the HPC finds the building does not have historic or architectural significance, or that
;
denial would prevent a reasonable economic return, the HPC must approve the permit.
If the HPC finds the building has historic or architectural significance, or that denial
would not prevent a reasonable econamic return, the HPC must deny the application. '
Exterior changes to property in conservation districts are not mandated or reviewed by
e s are reviewed b the HPC in conservation districts.

In conservation districts, Demolition by Neglect is prohibited (which is similar to the �,
Building Code provisions for dangerous buildings citywide). Designation as a I
conservation district, however, does not mandate that property owners undertake
repairs. Orders for exterior repairs to comply with City Housing or Building Codes result �
from code enforcement, not from conservation district designation.
In conservation districts, property owners have an additional City loan program to help
with exterior repairs to their buildings. The historic preservation revolving loan fund is !
available to home owners, landlords, institutions, and commercial businesses in j
conservation districts to correct exterior code violations. Loans are for up to $25,000 for
10 years at 3% interest. The HPC reviews and approves all loans, subject to ,,
underwriting criteria of the Housing and Community Development Program. i,

Expansion of Washington Neighborhood Conservation District Page 5
District. The neighborhood has many historically and architecturally significant buildings.
Its mix of commercial and residential structures creafies a traditianal, walkable, and
affordable neighborhood, which supports a safe community and sustainability principles.
City staff also recommends expansion of the Washington Neighborhood Conservation
District because there are many benefits to property owners, the neighborhood, and the
community with expansion of the Washington Neighborhood Conservation District.
The City of Dubuque recognizes the importance of protecting architecturally and
historically significant structures located in conservation districts which are threatened
by continuous neglect. The City prohibits Demolition by Neglect in conservation districts
to protect the integrity of threatened buildings, stabilize property values, and promote
the long term economic health of these districts.
Conservation districts provide a review process for the issuance of demolition permits
and access to low-interest loans for correcting Demolition by Neglect deficiencies. In
doing so, conservation districts stabilize neighborhoods and improve property values,
retain their historic and architectural character and sense of place, and foster civic pride.
Conservation districts offer other benefits. While the residents, property owners,
businesses, and institutions give a neighborhood its character, the buildings and streets
give a neighborhood its sense of place. Expansion of the Conservation District responds
to the Safe Community Task Force recommendations by encouraging homeownership
and mixed-use opportunities, while preserving the historic and architectural character—
the sense of place -- of the Washington Neighborhood.
Conservation District expansion also implements Economic Development and Housing
action steps of the Washington Neighborhood Strategic Plan. A major focus of the
Strategic Plan concerns preservation and conservation of existing historic buildings and
storefronts for expansion and new business opportunities, and as a special part of the
neighborhood's identity. Expansion of the Conservation District is an important action
step for neighborhood stabilization that will in turn foster additional revitalization.
Another benefit of the expanded Conservation District is maintaining one of Dubuque's
most unique neighborhoods. The area has a substantial collection of historically and
architecturally significant residential and commercial structures. The number of brick
structures from the late 1800's and early 1900's rivals downtown and the historic
districts. The neighborhood encompasses one of the oldest, most established, and most
diverse residential areas of Dubuque. Many buildings are eligible for listing in the
National Register of Historic Places. These buildings help tell the story of Dubuque.

Corrimur�ity Rssessment&Revitalizatiar�5trategies
The Washingtan NeighbQrhood Pfan is designed ta give residents and other loeal stakeholders �e.g.
husiness owners, em�loyees, residents, public offlcials, property owners) the tools needed to enhance
the quality, of life within the neighborhood and thereby strengthening its sense of pride. The goal of this
Plan is to inspire local res'sdents, business and praperty owners ta collaborate with the City of�uhuque
to cvntinue with ne':gh6orhood improvement efforts and revitalize the City's historic core. In 2a44, the
City of D�6uque and the neigh�orhaad initiated the "Washington: RevitQlize!" improvement pragram.
Local neighborhood organizations, not-fvr-prolit agencies and City departments have already taken
steps towards addressing issues identified and further developed in the 2fl�7 visioning report.
The Washi�gtvn Neighhorhoad established se�eral brvad goals ta guide this phase af the planning
prvicess. T�e purpose of this Plan is to establish a more formal set ❑f recommendations that identify
shvrt and long term strategies (policies} and specific actio�s {pragrams and projects} for wF�ich
resources, timeiines and respansi6le parties can be ider�tified. In addition, this Plan is guided by an
act+an-oriented document that translates the �ision intv projects and prograrr�s that �an he implemented
over time ta ensure the Washington Neighborhood achieves the established�ision.
Yhis Plan addresses bot� physital impro�ements to create a better en�ironment for economic
in�estment, and programs neressary to pravide [ess-advantaged �it':xens with the capacity to "accQss the
ladder of economic vpportunity that Eeads out of pvverty," This process is in#ended ta encourage,
equip and expand local leadership to address local eon�erns and advance priority programs and prajects.

patronixe retailers and service providers close to home that cater to their every-day
con�enien�e needs,
■ An adequate number of stores serve the neighborhood, in�luding general rnerchandise a�d
electranielappliance stores 6eing the only two major retai! categories with potential far
expansipn. Gaps in the retail mix in the Washington Neighborhood area pro�ide pPportunities ,
for limited retail, such as ele�tranics, video games,autv parts, and car rental.
■ �'he 3acic af retaif sales lealcage presents an oppvrtunity to encaurage expansion of existing retaif
dusters.
■ The strongest intersectian far retail is at �Im 5treet and East 2Dth Street with the �agle Country
Marl�et, rec�ntly-renavated Pixza Hut, and new Walgreens, not.to mention its prvximity ta the
Pa�k Site and potential to benef'tt from that future rede�elopment. The second strangest
intersection for r•etail in the Washingtan Neighb�t-hoad is the one at Central Avenue and 20�h
Street,anrhored by the Family[7ollar.
■ The Washington Neighhorh�od's cu�-rent retail ni�he is ane that focuses on the �on�enience-
oriented needs af the trade area's residents.
■ There is np ob�ivus entity to deliver suppart services (e.g. tec�nical assistanee, proper-ty
maintenan�e, design and rehab serwices, etc.) to Io�al businesses in the Washington
Neighborhoad.
Key Fte�amrrsendations
■ Focus a re-marlceting campaign at changing ti�e per�eptivn af the neighbarhood, perhaps led by
the neighborhood stakehalder•s and the City as �hie# amhassadors. Elements of this campaign
tnight include the messages that middle incame 1�ousehoEds are present and increasing, t[�at

businesses are sucreeding, and that people fram around the comrnunity patranixe these
businesses.
■ Cr•eate and marl�et a suppart infrastructure-- in terms af smal�-6usiness fnancing and t�chnical-
assistance prograsns, pvtentially in partnership with area �o[leges and uni�ersities—to foster the
suc�ess of independently-owned businesses within the neigh6or�ood and along Central A�enue.
Creation and marketing of a support infrastructure is dependent on City in�estment.
■ Upgrade ar expand current busir�esses to hetter fit the lacal �ustomer base and meet Ivcal
needs. Eff�rts that focus on in�estments and pragramming to retain existing businesses are
more important than attracting new husinesses.
■ Identify a unique position within the competitive marketplace for the Washington
Neighborhood to achie�e a larger draw. Howe�er, nat every neighborhood ar husiness district
has ta 6e a destination. Indeed, some are only meant to serve the e�eryday needs af the people
wh❑ [ive there.
� Consider �lustering resta�rants and bars as this is mast lilcely to breed success when they are
clustered fogether and can collectively pufl as a larger destinativn.
� 6uild upon the potential presence of a larger retail an�hor on the Pack site, which in turn may
build the potential to attract another general-merchandise aperator not yet in the region, lil�e
Big Lots, as well as additional sit-dvwn fatnily restaurants and mvderatefy-priced clothing and
shoe stores. An�, just like the redevelopment of the ri�erfrant played a majar rvle in the
re�i�al of lower Main 5ti•eet, new stores at the Pa�lc site could aet as an�hors for the nearhy
commercial node at Elm and East ZOth$treet.
■ Positian afder storefronts along Cencral A�enue far Iow-cost incuhatar space for early-stage
entrepreneurs [e.g. pre�iously The Dark Slide} and ni�he husinesses [e.g. E! Paisano) until they
rehvund in va[ue.
■ fn�est in the �reation and rnarlceting of a support infrastr�cture for local, small-scale
entreprer�eurs, both in terrns of small-husiness financing and technicai-assistance program.
■ �rganize 6usiness owners along Central Avenue to �reate a merchants ❑rganiiation tv hetter
ernpower them to worl�vn their awn hehalf and provide peer-ta-peer sup�ort.
■ Expand the City-s�onsored program af cosmeti� enhantement (e.g. fa�ade impro�ementsy and
provide generous funding for more attracti�e signage, down-lighting, et�. �hese steps woufd,
just 6y enf�ancing the �isuals, send a very different message a6vut Washington Neighbarhovd
and induce.others ta treat it less d�smissi�ely. Also, the neighhorhvod's br-and wauld also 6e

Community Assessment&Revitalization Strategies
■ While housing is generally affordable in the Washington Neighborhood, the housing stock is
aging with many homes needing rehabilitation; however, some property owners and the City are
undertaking rehab projects to help improve properties.
■ Based on data on new home purchases, the community investment climate in the neighborhood
is less active than in the entire City and metro area. However, new purchase loans have been on
the rise in the Washington Neighborhood,which could indicate that investment is on the rise.
Key Recommendations
■ Create a welcoming atmosphere to encourage community investment, foster communication,
and project a new image as a hip neighborhood.
■ Provide a greater balance of housing by promoting homeownership and homeowner
maintenance.
■ Improve the quality, maintenance,and appearance of rental properties.
■ Encourage public and private investments to improve the appearance of the neighborhood to
attract reinvestment.
Work Program
A Work Program is outlined in detail in Section IV of this Plan. Guided by principal strategies organized
by the three core issues areas, the Work Plan is comprised of a series of programs and projects
designed to encourage the community to mobilize for action in an organized manner as well as with a
clear and attainable goal in mind. Each program/project is assigned a timeframe{I year, 2-3 years, or 4-
5 years) to indicate the general amount of time needed to complete the program/project. Also, each
program/project is assigned a lead organization and, in many cases, partner organizations that will take
responsibility for putting the program/project into action.
One of the organizations recommended to take responsibility of (or be a partner for) many of the
programs/projects is a proposed new organization called the Washington nleigh6orhood
Deve►opment Cor�ioration (WNDC). As a community development corporation for the Washington
Neighborhood, the WNDC would manage a variety of tasks, including (but not limited to) promoting
and facilitating economic development (jobs and business activity), developing programs, fundraising,
advocating for neighborhood issues and activities, and organizing residents, businesses and community
groups. The WNDC would be separate from the Washington Neighborhood Association (WNA) but
would work in collaboration with the WNA, the City, and other local community groups, schools,
churches, and businesses to address the needs of the neighborhood, particularly as they pertain to the
programs and projects outlined in the Work Program.

Dear Washington Neighborhood Property Owner,
The City Council is considering expansion of the Washington Neighborhood Conservation
District. Before making a decision,the City Council has asked the Historic Preservation
Commission to hold a public hearing, and then send a recominendation back to the City Council.
While the Historic Preservation Commissioil studies the proposal,the City Council has
prohibited new demolition permits from being issued for six months. �
What is a conservation district?
A conservation district is an area with architecturally and historically significant.structures where
the City believes demolition permits should be reviewed before they are approved. The Historic
Preservation Commission reviews demolition requests in conservation districts.
In conservation districts,property owners have an additional City loan program to help with
exterior repairs to their buildings. The loan program is available to homeowriers,landlords,
institutions,and commercial businesses in conservation districts to correct exterior code
violations. Loans are available for up to $25,000 for 10 years at 3%interest.
�Why is the City considering an expansion of the conservation district?
While the residents,property owners,businesses, and institutions give a neighborhood its
character,the buildings and streets give a neighborhood its sense of place. Expansion of the
Washington Neighborhood Conservation District responds to the Safe Community Task Force
recommendations by encouraging more homeownership and mixed-use opportunities,while at
the same time preserving the architectural character and sense of place of the neighborhood. �
Expansion of the Conservation District also implements Economic Development and Housing
action steps of the Washington Neighborhood Strategic Plan. A major focus of the Strategic Plan
is preservation and conservation of existing historic buildings and storefronts for expansion and
new business opportunities, and as a special part of the neighborhood's identity. Expansion of
the Conservation District is an important action step for neighborhood stabilization. �
V�here ean I�nd out�nore about this proposal?
Enclosed you will find a flyer with questions and answers about conservation disfiricts, a map of
the proposed expansion of the Washington Neighborhood Conservation District,and a notice
about the Historic Preservation Commission's public hearing. You can also contact the Planning
Services Department at City Hall,by phone at 563-589-4210,by fax at 563-589-4221, or by
email at plannin�a,cityofdubuqe.org. Or stop by the open house from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. before
the public hearing on January 20, 2011 in the City Council Chambers,Historic Federal Building.

City of Dubuque Conservation Distracts.
Wha#ns a Conservation I2i�trict? �
A conservation district is an area designated by the City Council that has defined geographic boundaries and contains
properties that have historical or architectural value.Not all structures located in conservation districts have architectural
or historical significance. The City has 9 conservation districts. Demolition requests must be reviewed by the Aistoric
Preservation Commission.Appeals of Commission decisions can be made to the City Council.
�
Who is the Historic Preservatiori Commission? � � � �
The Historic Preservation Commission is a volunteer group of 9 citizens from the community who are appointed by the
City Council to make decisions on exterior alterations and demolition requests.in historic districts. The Commission only
reviews demolition requests in conservation districts. The Commissioners have various backgrounds and expertise and
share interest in historic preservation.IVlost of them live in a district. �
What isthe difference between a Historic District and a Conservation District? �
i
In historic districts, the Historic Preservation Commission is required to review any exterior changes to property that
require a building permit and are visible from the public right-of-way (street, alley, public steps, etc). In conservation �
districts,the Historic Preservation Commission reviews demolition permits only !
When do I need a Demolition Permit? I
You may need to apply for.a demolition permit from the City's Building Services Department if you are proposing to '
demolish all or part of a building or structure. �
�Iow long does the application process take? �
The Building Services Deparhnent will refer you to the Planning Services Department to begin the review process after '
you apply for the demolition permit. The demolition review process usually takes approximately 30-60 days from the
application deadline for the Historic Preservation Commission to complete their review. �
VVhat criteria are considered when reviewing a Demolition 12equest?
When reviewing a demolition request, the Histaric Preservation Commission must make a determination as to: (1) �
whether the building has historic or arcliiteciural significance to the community; and (2) whether denial of the proposed i
demolition permit would prevent the property owner from earning a reasonable economic return on the property. �
If the Historic Preservation Commission finds that deniai of the application would prevent the property owner from
earning a reasonable economic return on the property, or that the building does not have any historical or architectural
significance to the community, the Commission must approve the permit application. If the Historic Preservation ;
Commission finds that denial of the application would not prevent the property owner from earning a reasonable �
economic return on the properiy and that the building has historical or architectural significance to the community, the
Commission must deny the permit application.
What funding does the City have for Conservation Districts? -
The City has an additional low-interest rehabilitation loan program to help with exterior repairs in conservation districts.
Loans are available for up to$25,000 for 10 years at 3%interest per building.The loan program is available to home ,,
owners,landlords,institutions,and commercial businesses in conservatiou districts to correct exterior cod�violations. '
,Informatian is available from the Planning Services Department.

Re: Request to remove 1620-1628 White Street from the Washington Street
Neighborhood Conservation District
Dear Mayor and City Council Members,
We are writing in regards to the item on the April 5, 2021 City Council meeting agenda
that relates to the request to remove 1620-1628 White Street (the "Properties") from the
Washington Street Neighborhood Conservation District. Heritage Works is a local
501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to promote Dubuque's historic and architectural
character for its cultural value and its community development and neighborhood
revitalization potential. Dubuque's iconic, unique sense of place is irrevocably bound to
its historic neighborhoods and the diverse residents that live in them. When these
neighborhoods and places lose that historic fabric, the value to the City and its residents
starts to erode.
On March 18, 2021, Nottingham Properties, the owner of the Property (the "Owner"),
petitioned the Dubuque Historic Preservation Commission (the "HPC") for a permit to
demolish the buildings on the Properties. That permit application was denied by the
HPC by a vote of 4-1. In an effort to evade the ruling of the HPC and to avoid the
process and regulations of the Dubuque Historic Preservation Ordinance, the Owner of
the Property now petitions the City to remove the Property from the Washington Street
Neighborhood Conservation District (the "Conservation District") so that the buildings on
the Properties can be demolished without HPC review.
We understand that the stated purpose of the requested demolition is to ultimately
transfer ownership of the Properties in a vacant state to the Dream Center, a community
outreach nonprofit located at 1600 White Street. The Dream Center intends to use the
Properties for the purpose of providing additional space to expand programming that
they currently have, although we are not aware of their specific plans. We want to make
clear that we support the mission and work of the Dream Center and would be glad to
489 W. 4th Street � Dubuque, IA 52001 � 563.564.4080
www.heritageworksdbq.com
assist them in their planning and consideration of all alternatives for accomplishing their
programming goals. The Dream Center provides vital programming and services to the
community and the Washington Neighborhood in particular. We want to see the Dream
Center continue its important work in Dubuque.
We write this letter not to oppose the Dream Center's planning and work, but to outline
why the Owner's request could potentially do great long-term harm to the Washington
Neighborhood and other downtown neighborhoods because it bypasses processes that
have been established by City of Dubuque ordinances specifically to protect Dubuque's
historic neighborhoods. By extension, these ordinances that protect Dubuque's historic
neighborhoods also benefit the residents in those neighborhoods by fostering conditions
that maximize access to high quality, affordable housing, jobs that pay a living wage
and proximity to necessary shopping and services. Strong, well-maintained
neighborhoods are the building blocks for quality living conditions.
The Dubuque City government recognizes the value these historic districts and
neighborhoods bring to Dubuque, and has established Conservation Districts that cover
much of downtown Dubuque. The main function of the Conservation Districts is to
minimize demolitions by prohibiting demolition by neglect of properties in Conservation
Districts and requiring a high bar before allowing properties in Conservation Districts to
be awarded a demolition permit.
The City of Dubuque has made substantial public investments in the revitalization of its
historic neighborhoods in which some of the most economically disadvantaged
residents reside. These investments have catalyzed additional substantial private
investment in those revitalization efforts as well. Over the last 20 years, organizations
like Community Housing Initiatives, Four Mounds HEART Program, Gronen, True North
and other stakeholders have rehabilitated over 100 houses that allow residents of north
side neighborhoods to continue living affordably in those neighborhoods. Projects in the
Historic Millwork District, Steeple Square, the Metz Building and Washington Court have
brought additional affordable housing, jobs, vital services, retail and restaurants into
these once blighted neighborhoods. Much of the investment in these neighborhoods is
funded through a combination of private investment and historic tax credits that are
available only for historic buildings and neighborhoods. Eroding the historic integrity of
these historic neighborhoods and the individual buildings contained in these
neighborhoods threatens future investment in these neighborhoods.
The purpose of the Conservation District Ordinance is to protect the valuable historic
integrity of Dubuque's downtown neighborhoods that help foster investments in
affordable housing, job creation and other vital economic activity within those
neighborhoods. The Conservation District Ordinance is also meant to prevent real
estate developers from demolishing buildings and replacing them with expensive
housing that neighborhood residents cannot afford, thus forcing low income residents
out of neighborhoods. The ordinance contains two provisions meant to provide those
protections. First, the ordinance prohibits "Demolition by Neglect." The ordinance states:
2
Demolition Bv Neqlect Prohibited: The owner of a building or structure in
any conservation district shall preserve and keep in good repair all of the
exterior portions of such buildings and structures and all interior portions
thereof whose maintenance is necessary to prevent deterioration and
decay of any exterior portion. This shall be in addition to all other
provisions of law requiring property and improvements to be kept in good
repair.
The purpose of the Demolition by Neglect provision is to assure that property owners
keep properties in good condition and repair primarily so that they are quality buildings
available for affordable housing, retail, neighborhood services, etc.
The second protection in the ordinance requires that properties in Conservation Districts
cannot be demolished without a demolition permit approved by the HPC. This protection
prevents historically significant properties from being demolished unless the owner can
show that there is no economically viable use for the property. This prevents historic
properties from being replaced with newer properties that destroy the neighborhood's
historic character and increases the cost of living in those neighborhoods.
The Owner of the Properties asks the City Council to remove the Properties from the
protections of Conservation District so it can demolish the historic brick side-by-side
duplexes located on the Properties without getting HPC approval. In addition to the
Properties being located in the Conservation District, they are also contributing
properties in the Washington Residential Historic National Register Historic District
added to the National Register on October 13, 2015. The Owner purchased the
Properties in 2010 for a total of $25,000 according to the Dubuque County Assessor.
Since then the Owner has not made any identifiable investment in the Properties. By its
actions and by the definition of the ordinance, the applicant has been engaged in
Demolition by Neglect with respect to these Properties for the last 11 years. It is likely
that for these reasons, the HPC denied the Owners application for a demolition permit.
Allowing someone who has contributed to the deterioration of property to the point
where there is no economically viable use for the property to obtain a demolition permit
under the ordinance would render the Demolition by Neglect provisions of the ordinance
useless.
By requesting that the Properties be removed from the Conservation District, the Owner
is essentially asking the City Council to give it a pass for neglecting its Properties for
over 10 years. It creates a precedent that will encourage other delinquent property
owners to evade and violate the provisions of the Conservation District ordinance.
Removing the Properties essentially amounts to spot zoning and will lead other property
owners to petition to City Council to be removed from Conservation Districts throughout
the City. Conservation Districts will potentially become "swiss cheese" districts that have
properties similarly situated, and in many cases contiguous, subject to different rules
and regulations, rendering the Conservation District ordinance meaningless.
3
The City of Dubuque has the obligation to enforce all provisions of its ordinances and
should deviate only in extremely rare situations. In the case of the Conservation District
ordinance, it should not allow a delinquent property owner to essentially opt out of the
ordinance by requesting the City Council to remove its properties from the Conservation
District. Hundreds of residents who own and utilize historic properties in Conservation
Districts in Dubuque keep their properties in good condition and repair and follow the
City ordinances. They contribute to the unique sense of place that all in Dubuque can
enjoy. A few selected individuals should not be arbitrarily and capriciously allowed to
skirt the provisions of the ordinance because they let things get too far.
If the Owner cannot responsibly rehabilitate the Properties, someone more responsible
should be given the opportunity to rehabilitate this property, thereby keeping it part of
the fabric of historic Dubuque. A City Council vote to remove the Properties from the
Conservation District sets a bad precedent and could lead to the erosion of the
effectiveness of Conservation Districts as a tool for fostering revitalization, affordable
housing, job creation and economic development.
We would welcome a conversation with the Dream Center, the City and other partners
to learn more about the Dream Center's plans and to talk about alternatives in the
neighborhood that might be available to them that would allow them to continue and
expand their vital programming.
Please let me know if you have questions.
Best regards,
�� � �

Message: I was part of a group that met with the Dream Center on Friday to discuss a proposal related to demolition of property
north of the Dream Center,as well as the closing of a portion of 16th Street between White and Jackson Streets.Steeple Square
recognizes the valuable services the Dream Center brings to the Washington Street neighborhood,and I also support their initiatives
through personal donations. However, I am concerned about the agenda item being brought to the City Council tonight, believing
there is more time needed for both residential and business neighbors to understand the impact that proposed actions might have
on the neighborhood and beyond. I left the meeting Friday thinking that action would be delayed until all options could be reviewed
with all those impacted. I ask that the Council table this agenda item to first provide an opportunity for all involved to develop
solutions that will be mutually beneficial.Thank you for your consideration.Judy Wolf,Treasurer,Steeple Square-President, Marita
