INTRODUCTION
Dubuque

All-America City
IIIIIF
2007
A request has been received from the City of Dubuque Economic Development
Department for vacating a portion of Innovation Drive at its northerly terminus.
BACKGROUND
City staff has worked with Greater Dubuque Development Corporation, Hunter Equity,
LLC, and Fischer & Company on the construction of a new distribution center at the
Dubuque Industrial Center West. Their site plan requires a 12- to 15 -acre parcel of
property.
In an effort to make this site plan fit into the Dubuque Industrial Center West, it will be
necessary to eliminate the temporary cul -de -sac at the north end of Innovation Drive
and to shift the extension of Innovation Drive slightly to the west. The shift in the street
location requires the City to vacate a portion of the previously platted street.
DISCUSSION
The attached plat of Lots 1 -B and 2 -B of Dubuque Industrial Center North First Addition
prepared by IIW, P.C. shows the division of the existing right -of -way of Innovation Drive.
Lot 2 -B is the area proposed to be vacated. All the abutting property is owned by the
City. The City will reserve a utility easement over the entire vacated area for existing
and future utilities.
The area proposed to be vacated (Lot 2 -B) will be combined with abutting City property
east of Innovation Drive for platting a 12.7 -acre lot proposed to be disposed of to the
Hunter Equity, LLC.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that area indicated as Lot 2 -B of Dubuque Industrial Center North
First Addition of the City of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa as shown on the attached
plat be vacated, and that a public hearing be held on March 5, 2012 for the vacation in
the subject area. I would further recommend that the vacated portion of Innovation
Drive (Lot 2 -B) be combined with City property to the east for final platting and that
easements for utilities be reserved over the entire vacated area.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The attached resolution vacating the property should be submitted to the City Council
for consideration and approval and that the vacated portion of Innovation Drive (Lot 2 -B)
be combined with City property to the east for final platting and that easements for
utilities be reserved over the entire vacated area.

All-America City
2007
On January 25, 2012, the Engineering Department received a request from City of
Dubuque Economic Development Department for vacating a portion of Innovation Drive

BACKGROUND
City staff has worked with Greater Dubuque Development Corporation, Hunter Equity,
LLC, and Fischer & Company on the construction of a new distribution center at the
Dubuque Industrial Center West. Their site plan requires a 12- to 15 -acre parcel of
property.
In an effort to make this site plan fit into the Dubuque Industrial Center West, it will be
necessary to eliminate the temporary cul -de -sac at the north end of Innovation Drive
and to shift the extension of Innovation Drive slightly to the west. The shift in the street
location requires the City to vacate a portion of the previously platted street, and to
acquire .02 acre back from Green Industrial Supply. Green Industrial Supply has
consented to sell this land back to the City for the same price he paid the City in 2011.

City. The City will reserve a utility easement over the entire vacated area for existing
and future utilities.
The area proposed to be vacated (Lot 2 -B) will be combined with abutting City property
east of Innovation Drive for platting a 12.7 -acre lot proposed to be disposed of to the
Hunter Equity, LLC.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that the plat of Lots 1 -B and 2 -B of Dubuque Industrial Center North
First Addition in the City of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa be approved and the area
indicated as Lot 2 -B of Dubuque Industrial Center North First Addition, be brought to
City Council for possible vacation, and that a public hearing be set for the possible
vacating of the subject area on March 5, 2012.
I would further recommend that the vacated portion of Innovation Drive (Lot 2 -B) be
combined with City property to the east for final platting and that easements for utilities
be reserved over the entire vacated area.
