MEMORANDUM

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Vacating Petition -Portion of Raven Oaks Drive
In order to provide additional parking for a proposed 12-plex building that Kluck
Partnership is constructing, they are proposing to purchase a 10-foot wide strip of
Raven Oaks Drive abutting Lot 4 of Raven Oaks No. 2. The area proposed to be
vacated will be divided into one lot. This lot is a 10-foot portion of existing 50-foot wide
right-of-way on which public utilities currently exist. The existing 25-foot wide pavement
for Raven Oaks Drive at this location is constructed on the south half of the right-of-way.
This condition leaves between 24 and 26 feet of right-of-way north of the north curb of
Raven Oaks Drive. The south curb of Raven Oaks Drive is on or very near the south
right-of-way line. Engineering has determined that if Raven Oaks Drive was
reconstructed to a minimum of 27-feet wide, with allowance fora 4-foot sidewalk and
2-foot parking on both sides, adequate right-of-way would remain.
City Engineer Gus Psihoyos is recommending preliminary approval on the proposed
vacating prior to Kluck Partnership proceeding with the platting of the area. At that time,
he will be recommending sale of the property for $3,244, plus $100 for publication and
filing fees.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

MEMORANDUM
July 9, 2007
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Mana r
FROM: Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Vacating Petition -Portion of Raven Oaks Drive
INTRODUCTION
A request has been received from Kluck Construction for the vacating of a portion of
Raven Oaks Drive abutting Lot 4 of Raven Oaks No. 2.
DISCUSSION
The attached sketch shows the proposed portion of Raven Oaks Drive abutting Lot 4 of
Raven Oaks No. 2 to be vacated. The abutting property is owned by Kluck Partnership.
The area proposed to be vacated will be divided into one lot. This lot is a 10-foot
portion of existing 50-foot wide right-of-way on which public utilities currently exist. The
existing 25-foot wide pavement for Raven Oaks Drive at this location is constructed on
the south half of the right-of-way. This condition leaves between 24 and 26 feet of right-
of-way north of the north curb of Raven Oaks Drive. The south curb of Raven Oaks
Drive is on or very near the south right-of-way line. These distances vary, however, as
the pavement meanders through the right-of-way from John F. Kennedy Road to the
eastern terminus of the street.
In order to provide additional parking for a proposed 12-plex that Kluck Partnership is
constructing, they are proposing to purchase a 10-foot wide strip of Raven Oaks Drive
abutting Lot 4 of Raven Oaks No. 2. Engineering has determined that if Raven Oaks
Drive was reconstructed to a minimum of 27-foot wide, with allowance fora 4-foot
sidewalk and 2-foot parkway on both sides, adequate right-of-way would remain. The
City would reserve easement over the entire vacated area for existing utilities.
The property has been valued at $3.30 per square foot or $3,244.00, plus $100 for
publication and filing fees. The property owner will be responsible for the surveying and
platting fees associated with the vacating. Kluck Partnership has indicated they are
seeking the City Council's preliminary approval on the proposed vacating prior to
proceeding with the platting of the area.
RECOMMENDATION
The City has no plans for the utilization of the portion of Raven Oaks Drive abutting Lot
4 of Raven Oaks No. 2 to be vacated, except for utility easements as noted.
I would recommend that the area indicated by Raven Oaks Drive abutting Lot 4 of
Raven Oaks No. 2 in the City of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa, as shown on the
attached sketch be vacated, and that the property owner proceed with the platting
necessary for the formal vacate process.
would further recommend that the purchase price be established at $3,244.00, plus
platting, publication, and filing fees.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The recommendation of the City Manager should be approved and the owner be
directed to proceed with the formal vacate process.
