INTRODUCTION
A request has been received from Brian Goranson for the vacating of a portion of a
public alley abutting 1902, 1912, 1946, 1952, and 1956 Garfield Avenue in the City of
Dubuque.
DISCUSSION
The attached plat shows the area proposed to be vacated. The abutting properties are
owned by Vicki Dolter, Brandon Bass, Joseph & Debra Miller and William & Monica
Meissner. The area proposed to be vacated has never been open to traffic and has
been utilized as yards and maintained by the abutting property owners for many years.
The remainder of the alley right -of -way north of the proposed vacating will remain public
right -of -way since it is used as access to the abutting properties.
The area proposed to be vacated currently separates lots owned on both sides of the
alley by the above property owners. The City will not reserve the vacated area for
easements since no utilities lie within the area except for each owner's sanitary sewer
lateral.
The City has no plans for the utilization of the public alley abutting 1902, 1912, 1946,
1952, and 1956 Garfield Avenue proposed to be vacated. The abutting property owners
have agreed to purchase their portion of the alley abutting their lots and share in the
cost of surveying and platting.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that the public alley abutting 1902, 1912, 1946, 1952, and 1956
Garfield Avenue in the City of Dubuque, Iowa, as shown on the attached plat, be
vacated, and that a public hearing be held on September 6, 2011. I would further
recommend that the fee be established as follows for each party to cover the cost of
processing, publication and filing fees:
Brian A. Goranson
Vicki Ann Dolter
Brandon J. Bass
Joseph W. & Debra A. Miller
William D. & Monica S. Meissner
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
1956 Garfield Avenue
1952 Garfield Avenue
1946 Garfield Avenue
1912 Garfield Avenue
1902 Garfield Avenue
$200.00
$100.00
$200.00
$200.00
$200.00
The recommendation of the City Manager should be approved and a public hearing be
set on the disposal of property through the adoption of the enclosed resolutions.

Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council,
U 4

Mr. & Mrs. Brian Goranson
1956 Garfield Ave
Dubuque, IA 52001
I am writing to request the city vacate the alley behind the east side of the 1900 block of
Garfield Avenue. The addresses involve include: 1956, 1952, 1946, 1912 and 1902 Garfield
Avenue. All property owners affected have consented to the vacating of the alley.
We wish to have the city vacate the alley because the alley is no longer in use. We would
like to utilize the space as part of our yard. We bought the house three years ago with a fence
already in place. We, however, have been notified the fence must be taken down if no action is
taken to vacate the alley. We believe the fence serves many purposes. The main purpose is to
keep our young children safe when playing in the backyard.
Sincerely,
Brian Goranson
