Northend Wrecking Enforcement Update (2) Th;~~E ~~~ MEMORANDUM ,"'""', ~~--:! June 1,2005 - , I !'" .~ TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members I' ", FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Update on North End Wrecking Enforcement The City of Dubuque began receiving complaints about North End Wrecking in January 2004. For the last 17 months, the City has been trying to get City ordinance violations corrected at North End Wrecking with only minimal success. On September 20, 2004, the City Council denied a rezoning request from Mr. Roger Kunde of North End Wrecking. This was agriculturally-zoned and residentially-zoned property which the North End Wrecking industrial use had encroached upon. Nine months later this encroachment still exists, as documented by a survey the City completed on May 13, 2005. The Zoning Code also requires this salvage operation to be screened from adjoining properties, and this has not been completed. The North End Wrecking industrial operation also encroaches on City-owned land adjacent to the salvage operation. At the May 2,2005 City Council meeting, Roger Kunde asked to purchase City property, and the City Council referred that request to the City Manager. I have toured the North End Wrecking site with City staff and Mr. Kunde. A letter dated May 18, 2005 was delivered to Mr. Kunde on May 26, 2005, advising that the City would negotiate a lease with Mr. Kunde for the City-owned land with the following conditions: 1. A storm water erosion control plan be submitted for the entire parcel. 2. A site plan be submitted showing current operations and proposed expansion, driveways, screening, etc. 3. An easement be provided at the northwest corner of the parcel to provide access from Olympic Heights Road to the adjacent private property. 4. Olympic Heights Road right-of-way should be platted and dedicated to the City. (It is currently only an easement on portions of the roadway). 5. Comply with all zoning and screening requirements. On May 31, 2005, I sent a letter to Mr. Kunde advising him that these issues would be on the June 6 City Council meeting agenda. Mr. Kunde has a current deadline of July 14, 2005, to remove materials from the improperly-zoned property, to provide proper screening and to negotiate a lease for City-owned property or remove his materials from that City-owned property. /l1v( [~7 ;l;,l!L Mic~ael C.

You stated that the purchase of City property would not expand your business but would incorporate the City parcel encroached upon by previous business operations. However, another part of your letter discusses building a safer road on current City property, which appears to be outside the area of current operations. After further review of this situation by Planning Services, Engineering and the City Manager's office, it is our recommendation that the City negotiate a lease with you for the use of this City property. Conditions of the lease agreement include: 1. A storm water erosion control plan be submitted for the entire parcel. 2. A site plan be submitted showing current operations and proposed expansion, driveways, screening, etc. 3. An easement be provided at the northwest corner of the parcel to provide access from Olympic Heights Road to the adjacent private property. 4. Olympic Heights Road right of way should be platted and dedicated to the City. (It is currently only an easement on portions of the roadway). 5. Comply with all zoning and screening requirements. Please submit a scaled drawing of the desired lease area so the City may obtain an appraisal to determine fair market value and develop a lease agreement for your review. If you have any questions please call me at 589-4275. :9JD~ Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer ... .... cc: Michael C. Van Milligen.
