Van Milligen "--- MCVM/jh Attachment cc: Barry Lindahl, Corporation Counsel Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Ken TeKippe, Finance Director Th'I~~JE ~ck~ Memorandum TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Ken TeKippe, Finance Director ~(j~ SUBJECT: Sale of City Lot 1, Clark's Sub 2, (966 Liberty St.) DATE: February 14, 2005 INTRODUCTION Roger and Ann Pickel, 944 Liberty St. have requested the purchase of Lot 1, Clark's Sub 2, (966 Liberty St.). The lot is located adjacent to their property on a dead end cul- de-sac. A copy of the Pickel's letter requesting the purchase is attached. DISCUSSION The attached vicinity map shows the proposed area to be disposed of. In June 1998, the City of Dubuque undertook demolition of structures and removal of construction materials, debris, trees and brush from property that was obtained via a forfeiture proceeding by the U.S. Attorney's office. The abutting property is owned by Roger and Ann Pickel. The existing parcel is not a city street or alley that needs to be vacated. The Pickel's have maintained the property for several years. The appraisal of the property was $10,000 less the cost to remove foundations (unknown amount). In addition, the purchaser would need to incur expense to cap wells if they plan to construct a home. I have visited with the other adjoining property owners, Stonehill Care and John and Betty Fitz who are not interested in the property, except for access easement along easterly 20 feet of said lot. RECOMMENDATION The City has no plans for the utilization of Lot 1, Clark's Sub 2, (966 Liberty St.) to be disposed of except for reseIVing the utility and access easements as noted. I would recommend that a public hearing be set for the disposition of the City's interest in Lot 1, Clark's Sub 2, (966 Liberty St.) on February 21,2005. I would further recommend that the purchase price be established at $2,500, plus publication and filing fees. ACTION TO BE TAKEN The recommendation of the City Manager should be approved and a public hearing should be scheduled on the sale of the property by adoption of the enclosed resolution. Thank you for your assistance. KT/jg Enclosures RESOLUTION NO. -05 RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO DISPOSE OF CITY INTEREST IN LOT 1 CLARK'S SUB 2 IN THE CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA (966 LIBERTY ST.)

Second, you mentioned in your letter to us that "you have maintained the property for a number of years similar to other citizens who maintain platted alleys and the area between property lines and streets," What we did to improve this property over the past 5 to 6 years amounted to much more than "maintenance", This property was a mess of weeds, broken glass, rocks and other debris that had worked through the soil from what they ended up burying here after everything of Sharkey's was torn down, It took years of cleaning, weeding, seeding and mowing this property to get this land to what it Is today. We don't feel this was simply "maintenance", It cost us time and money and hard work, not to mention saving the City some costs by not having to send a maintenance crew to this property the past 5 or 6 years, Lastly, you mentioned that the appraised value of the property was $10,000 ' minus the cost to remove the foundation (unknown). I talked to people from three separate excavating companies (Mark Fondell from FondeJl Excavating, Mike Besler from McClain Excavating and Dave Fondell from Dubuque Excavating) and they all gave me roughly the same information, The average cost to dig a foundation runs about $5,000 . and by what we described as being buried on this property, they believed the costs of running into such issues could double or even triple the cost of digging a foundation. This could easily make the feasibility of building on this property too costly for many people, And probably especially in this area of town which is not exactly a high growth or high property value area. We have no such intention to build so (hopefully), will never run into the costs of having to clean up what is buried on this property, In light of the above,mentioned circumstances, we Vlould like to extend an offer of $2,500 for the purchase of this propert>j, plus the recording and tiling costs you mentioned of about $100. Please feel free to call us at 582-8385 if you have any questions. Sincerely, ~ fZ ~i~ Roger Ann) Pickel 944 Liberty St Dubuque, IA 52001 (563)582-8385 cc: Michael C.
