RE: Vacate City Property
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
This letter is written to inquire about the possibility of purchasing a portion of a city alley
abutting our property between Lots 44 & 45 of Yates's Subdivision ofOutlots 780 and 713. Lot
44 is bordered on its south by West 16th Street and the alley mentioned above to its north. Lot 45
is bordered on its north by West 17TH Street and by said alley on its' south. Both lots, 44 & 45
are located just east of the Loras College tennis courts on 17th Street. Lots 44 & 45 both have
structures on them which are scheduled for demolition to accommodate a parking lot for the
proposed Athletic and Wellness Center. The area ofthe alley mentioned herein falls between
lots 44 & 45 and is needed for the proposed parking area.
The City Engineering Department has been contacted and they have indicated a favorable
condition for the vacating but may need easements reserved for utilities. We understand that the
vacated area would need to be surveyed and platted at our expense and a fee paid for the parcel,
plus publication and filing fees. Please call me at 588-7011 if you have any questions.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
