MEMORANDUM
January 25, 2007
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Vacating Petition -Portion of Union Street South of Rush Street
INTRODUCTION
A request has been received from David L. Clemens, representing Robert
McClain of 790 Rush Street, for the vacating of a portion of Union Street south of
Rush Street.
DISCUSSION
The attached plat shows the proposed portion of Union Street south of South
Rush Street to be vacated. The abutting properties are owned by Meghan M.
Brauhn and Robert McClain.
This portion of Union Street (referred to as Union Avenue on the Plat of Quinn
Street) was intended to be vacated as a condition of the plat approving the
dedication of Quinn Street in July, 1896. The City Council accepted the award of
the jury for the opening of Quinn Street and declared it a public highway on
August 3, 1896. Since no further written documentation of the transfer of the
vacated portion of Union Street is recorded, Mr. McClain's attorney is requesting
City Council action to formally vacate the area and transfer the property.
The area to be vacated is 60 feet wide and abuts Lots 209 and 210 of Union
Addition. The owner of Lot 210, Meghan M. Brauhn, has indicated she was not
interested in any portion of the proposed area to be vacated.
Mr. Robert McClain will be responsible for the surveying, platting, publication,
and filing fees.
RECOMMENDATION
The City has no plans for the utilization of the portion of Union Street south of
Rush Street proposed to be vacated.
I would recommend that the area indicated by Lot 209A of Union Addition 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 February 20, 2007. I would further recommend that the
purchase price be established for the cost of 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 resolution.
Prepared by Ronald J. Turner, PLS
RESOLUTION NO. 59-07
