Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
Gus Psihoyos, Assistant City Engineer .9D-
TO:
SUBJECT: Vacating Petition - Utility Easement
INTRODUCTION
This is a request from the City of Dubuque Engineering Division for the vacating
of a utility easement in the area of the embankment for the Carter Road
Detention facility in the City of Dubuque, Iowa.
This 10-foot wide utility easement was originally platted as part of Lot 13 of West
Ridge 2nd Addition. A portion of Lot 13 of West Ridge 2nd Addition was
purchased for the Carter Road Detention Facility. The parcel was replatted into
Lots 1 and 2 of Whites Place, with the City purchasing Lot 2. Since the
previously platted easement area lies under the proposed embankment, the
vacating of the utility easement is necessary to ensure the structural integrity of
the embankment. Utility companies and other City departments have been
notified and have not objected to the vacating request.
RECOMMENDATION
The City does not have a need for the subject utility easement, and I recommend
approval of the request to vacate the easement as shown on the attached Exhibit
A.
