February 1, 2007
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Alley Vacating Petition
INTRODUCTION
A request has been received from Loras College for the vacating of alleys
between Alta Vista Street and North Booth Street from Loras Boulevard to
Vernon Street. Loras is planning a redevelopment of the existing parking area
adjacent to the proposed vacating.
DISCUSSION
The area to be vacated is platted as Lot 30A of Levens' Addition in the City of
Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa. Said Lot 30A is an existing 25-foot wide alley
on which no public utilities exist. No easement rights for utilities will be reserved
on the area being vacated.
The property has been valued at $2.13 per square foot, for a total of $30,112.00.
The City has no plans for the utilization of the alleys between Alta Vista Street
and North Booth Street from Loras Boulevard to Vernon Street to be vacated.
Rettenmaier Flooring Co. will continue to have access from North Booth Street
immediately west of the proposed vacated alley. Mr. William Blum at 1084
Vernon Street has agreed to an easement over a portion of the vacated alley for
access to a garage from North Booth Street.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that the alleys between Alta Vista Street and North Booth
Street from Loras Boulevard to Vernon Street 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
March 5, 2007. I would further recommend that the purchase price be
established at $30,112.00, plus 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.

RE: Vacate City Property
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
This letter is written to inquire about the possibility of purchasing the city alley abutting ow
property as shown on attached Exhibit "A" & `B". As can be seen from the exhibits, the alleys
are generally surrounded by our parking areas except for that area shown as owned by others.
The City Engineering Department has been contacted and they have indicated 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 yow consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Stephen . Schmall
Vice President for Finance & Administrative Services
