TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members CD cNn
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Sale of Portion of City Lots in Lenox Addition
A request has been received from Richard Plowman to purchase a portion of Lots 314
and 315 of Lenox Addition owned by the City of Dubuque. Since existing sanitary and
storm sewer lines are located on these lots, the platted property line was established 15
feet west of any sewer lines. Therefore, no sewer easements will be required on the
parcel proposed to be disposed of.
City Engineer Gus Psihoyos recommends that a public hearing be set for April 2, 2007,
on the sale of a portion of Lots 314 and 315 of Lenox Addition, that the purchase price
be established at $5,000, plus publication and filing fees, and that Richard Plowman pay
the costs to survey and plat the lot.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

DuB E MEMORANDUM
~-~-~
March 12, 2007
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Sale of Portion of City Lots in Lenox Addition
INTRODUCTION
Richard Plowman has requested the purchase of part of Lots 314 and 315 of
Lenox Addition owned by the City of Dubuque. The proposed purchase area is
0.07 acres just west of the intersection of Van Buren Avenue and Drexel Avenue
adjacent to 2815 Van Buren Avenue.
DISCUSSION
The proposed area to be purchased will be platted as Lot 1 of Lenox Addition No.
3. The adjoining property east of Lot 1 is utilized for City of Dubuque storm and
sanitary sewers, while the area west of Lot 1 is property owned by Richard
Plowman. Richard Plowman plans to build a garage on the area to be
purchased.
Since existing sanitary and storm sewer lines are located on Lots 314 and 315 of
Lenox Addition, the platted property line was established 15 feet west of any
sewer lines. Therefore, no sewer easements will be required on the parcel
proposed to be disposed of. The balance of the City-owned lots are not buildable
and will be retained for sewer maintenance purposes.
As agreed upon, the purchase price of $5,000 was established, with Richard
Plowman paying for all platting, publication, and filing fees.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend a public hearing be held for the disposition of the City's interest in
Lot 1 of Lenox Addition No. 3. I would further recommend that the purchase
price be established at $5,000, plus publication and filing fees and that Richard
Plowman pay the costs to survey and plat the lot.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The recommendation of the City Manager should be approved and a public
hearing should be set for April 2, 2007, on the disposal of the property through
the adoption of the enclosed resolution.
Prepared by Ronald J. Turner, PLS
cc: Don Vogt, Public Works Director

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
street/alley abutting my property at 2815 Van Buren. We plan to use the vacated
property for a garage.
We have contacted the City Engineering Department 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 563-213-
0187 if you have questions.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Richard Plowman
