The City purchased eight properties for the Bee Branch project in the 2200 -2300 blocks
of Washington Street, due to the need to take a portion of the rear yards for the
realigned right -of -way. The houses are each being fully renovated, in preparation for
their re -sale to income - qualifying homebuyer families. Development of this property
was funded as part of the Bee Branch Creek Restoration Program and the Lead Paint
Hazard Reduction Program. No Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds were used
on this property. The sixth of these, located at 2218 Washington, has been completed
and an offer to purchase has been received.
Housing and Community Development Department Director Alvin Nash recommends
the City Council set a public hearing for August 19 to dispose of City -owned real
property located at 2318 Washington Street to Brian J. Nilles for the appraised value of
$102,000. The buyer will receive the "Washington Neighborhood" financing package,
including a $15,000 combination forgivable and deferred - payment loan to assist with the
downpayment; and a $25,000 City second mortgage. All properties must be sold to
income - qualifying buyers (earning less than 80% area median income) according to the
terms of the Iowa Finance Authority and the Lead Program funding.
Financing to Brian J. Nilles will be provided through a first mortgage from Dubuque
Bank and Trust and the Washington Neighborhood Incentives Program.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.
