TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Proposed Downtown Rehabilitation Grant Award for 2900 Central Avenue
DATE: September 14, 2021
Economic Development Director Jill Connors recommends City Council approval of a
Downtown Rehabilitation Loan Program Grant Award to Dub Jones Real Estate, LLC for
rehabilitation of 2900 Central Avenue in the maximum amount of $10,000 for facade
improvement and Planning & Design grant at $10,000 maximum.
Dub Jones Real Estate, LLC has acquired the building at 2900 Central Avenue. Their
intent, in addition to returning the facade to its original condition is to transform the first -
floor vacant restaurant space into a community kitchen. This kitchen will be rented to
the public, provide a free weekly meal to those in need, and offer a pop-up restaurant
space for emerging food industry entrepreneurs and chefs when needed.
The Good Neighbor inquiry on this property produced one issue — there is no rental
license for the second -floor residential space on file with the City. Leslie Chalabi,
Director of Dub Jones Real Estate, LLC intends to comply with all inspection
requirements and obtain the necessary licensing before renting the space.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
This memo presents for your approval a project selected for a rehabilitation grant
award.
BACKGROUND
The Downtown Rehabilitation Loan Program provides for several grant opportunities for
the rehabilitation of historic buildings and the creation of quality rental residential units in
the downtown area. Since 2007, the City Council has awarded at least one of these
grants to 49 different projects. In 2009, the City Council approved the creation of a
funding pool to encourage new residential housing units in downtown Dubuque, which
complements the rehabilitation grants. The program to date has assisted in the creation
of over 340 quality apartments in our downtown.
Together, these grants, along with Tax Increment Financing funds, have incentivized
the rehabilitation of the Historic Millwork District, multiple buildings in nearly every block
along Main Street and many other downtown properties. Some examples are: Caradco,
Novelty Iron Works, Linseed, and Dupaco/Voices Buildings in the Millwork District; the
Roshek Building; mixed -use buildings in nearly every block of Main Street; multiple
buildings along the Central Avenue Corridor; and many others from 1 st Street to 32nd
Street.
This program has had a positive impact in the appearance and livability of our
downtown, which leads to a more attractive business and residential environment. As
such, the Economic Development Department finds the program to be a great tool for
attracting and retaining a quality workforce for our businesses.
DISCUSSION
For the property listed, I have performed a "Good Neighbor Inquiry" (with Building
Services, Engineering, Finance, Health, Housing, Legal, Planning, Police, Public Works,
and Utility Billing) for any concerns based on these or other properties owned by the
applicants.
2900 Central Avenue
Application received July 7, 2021 for a fagade grant and a planning & design grant.
The building at 2900 Central Avenue was formerly Uncle Timmy's - a sandwich and
pizza restaurant on the first floor with a 20-seat capacity. The first -floor restaurant space
has not been a licensed food venue since 2015. The second -floor space has historically
been residential.
Dub Jones Real Estate, LLC is owned by the same community leaders as Convivium
Urban Farmstead (Convivium). Convivium is a community -oriented organization
dedicated to growing and preparing locally sourced produce with a successful history of
addressing food insecurity. Convivium offers cooking and gardening classes as well as
neighborhood events with an emphasis on creating community around food. This
organization also strives to provide access and education about healthy food choices to
children and others who are struggling with food access and the adverse health effects
of eating a diet of highly processed food.
Dub Jones Real Estate, LLC has acquired the building at 2900 Central Avenue. Their
intent, in addition to returning the fagade to its original condition is to transform the first -
floor vacant restaurant space into a community kitchen. This kitchen will be rented to
the public, provide a free weekly meal to those in need, and offer a pop-up restaurant
space for emerging food industry entrepreneurs and chefs when needed.
This stretch of Central Avenue has very few food options for residents. This project
could serve as a pilot program for similar redevelopment efforts. The restoration and
unique use will hopefully spur additional investment in the area. The project may also
provide a successful model to address other food deserts within Dubuque.
The Good Neighbor Inquiry on this property produced one issue — there is no rental
license for the second -floor residential space on file with the City. Leslie Shalabi,
Director of Dub Jones Real Estate, LLC intends to comply with all inspection
requirements and obtain the necessary licensing before renting the space.
I recommend funding the Fagade Grant at $10,000 maximum and the Planning &
Design Grant at $10,000 maximum, both from CIP 3602436.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jill Connors, Economic Development Director
FROM: Chris Happ Olson, Assistant Planner C,(D
SUBJECT: Fagade Grant: 2900 Central Ave.; Applicant Leslie Shalabi
DATE: September 3, 2021
Introduction
This memorandum forwards the requested design review for work funded with a Fagade
Grant for the property located at 2900 Central Avenue.
Background
The City of Dubuque Architectural Guidelines, the Secretary of the Interior Standards for
Rehabilitation and applicable Technical Preservation Services Preservation Briefs
published by the National Park Service (NPS) apply to this project. The collection can
be found at the NPS website.
Discussion
The scope of work depicted and described in the drawings, application, and subsequent
answers to questions during review meet the Architectural Guidelines and the project is
recommended for approval as submitted and conditioned.
See attached plans for the site. Items discussed while onsite include:
• Restoration of limestone columns (at entrance and edges of window spandrels)
• Retention of the prism glass at the transom and bulkhead levels
• Restoration or replacement of tile floor at entrance stoop
• Restoration of copper storefront framing system
• Restoration of door systems
• Any masonry work follow the recommendations in NPS Preservation Brief #2
It is exciting to see Convivium make great, community use of this space, expanding the
work of their mission. As well, the retention of tile flooring, tin ceiling and light fixtures,
among other features is commendable. Although historic review does not cover the
interior, I remain available as a resource as they move forward if they have questions.
Please note that all work completed must have relevant permitting and permission,
working with the Inspection and Construction Services Division (formerly Building
Department) and Engineering Department as necessary.
Requirements
The project, if done in accordance with the described scope of work and drawings will
meet the applicable guidelines and standards and is recommended for approval in
terms of design review. Any deviation from the approved scope of work must be
reviewed and approved by the Economic Development and Planning Services
Departments prior to initiation. It is the property owner's responsibility to read and
understand the terms of approval as well as ensure compliance with the project
requirements. It is the property owner's responsibility to obtain the necessary
building permits prior to starting work. It is the property owner's responsibility to
ensure all contractors understand and properly execute all expectation of the
project. Failure to comply with the approved scope of work will result in forfeiture
of all funding.
