SUBJECT: Vacating Petition - A Portion of Kerper Boulevard in Block 6 of
River Front Subdivision NO.3
INTRODUCTION
A request has been received from K. C. Jones, representing Airgas North
Central, Inc. (Airgas), for the vacating of a portion of Kerper Boulevard that abuts
the existing Airgas facility at 2240 Kerper Boulevard.
BACKGROUND
Airgas North Central, Inc. has recently purchased the property and will utilize the
area for additional employee parking.
DISCUSSION
Because of space restrictions between the Airgas building and the existing right-
of-way, Airgas is requesting the vacate of approximately 5,200 square feet along
Kerper Boulevard. The vacated area would be paved and landscaped to
accommodate additional parking spaces.
The City has no plans for the utilization of this portion of Kerper Boulevard to be
vacated, except for a utility easement 10 feet behind the proposed right-of-way
line as shown on the plat thereof.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that a portion of Kerper Boulevard in Block 6 of River Front
Subdivision NO.3 in the City of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa, as shown on
the attached plat be vacated, and that a public hearing be held for the disposition
of the City's interest in the subject area on October 16, 2006. I would further
recommend that the purchase price be established at $13,447.00, plus
surveying, platting, publication and filing fees.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The recommendation of the City Manager should be approved and a public
hearing should be held on the disposal of the property through the adoption of
the enclosed resolutions.

FROM:
INTRODUCTION
A request has been received from K. C. Jones, representing Airgas North
Central, Inc. (Airgas), for the vacating of a portion of Kerper Boulevard that abuts
the existing Airgas facility at 2240 Kerper Boulevard.
BACKGROUND
Airgas North Central, Inc. has recently purchased the property and will utilize the
area for additional employee parking.
DISCUSSION
Because of space restrictions between the Airgas building and the existing right-
of-way, Airgas is requesting the vacate of approximately 5,200 square feet along
Kerper Boulevard. The vacated area would be paved and landscaped to
accommodate additional parking spaces.
The City has no plans for the utilization of this portion of Kerper Boulevard to be
vacated, except for a utility easement 10 feet behind the proposed right-of-way
line as shown on the plat.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that a portion of Kerper Boulevard in Block 6 of River Front
Subdivision NO.3 in the City of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa as shown on
the attached plat be vacated, and that a public hearing be set for the disposition
of the City's interest in the subject area on October 16, 2006. I would further
recommend that the purchase price be established at $13,447.00, plus
surveying, platting, publication and filing fees.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The recommendation of the City Manager should be approved and a public
hearing should be set on the disposal of the property through the adoption of the
enclosed resolutions.
