Introduction
The purpose of this memo is to propose the Contract for Sale of the property located at
321 Valeria Street to Dawn M. Redfern a/k/a Dawn M. Adams, who currently own and
occupy the property located at 154 W. 23rd Street, which adjoin each other on the east
side.
321 Valeria Street is a vacant/abandon property in which the City of Dubuque took
possession of in October 2015 through Court Order by filing for Petition of Title.
Background
The City of Dubuque took possession of 321 Valeria Street in October of 2015 through
Court Order by filing for Petition for Title. Upon taking possession in late October the
Housing staff performed an interior inspection. The inspection revealed a major roof
leak that has done extensive structural damage and produced significant mold growth.
The cost of mitigation for mold and asbestos would increase the overall cost for
deconstruction. The deconstruction cost total would be $20,000 - $30,000 and the value
of the lot would only be $5,000 - $6,000 because of its size, shape and location.
Discussion
As part of the transaction Adams' will have the two properties platted into a single
parcel. A 21-year single family owner-occupied restrictive covenant will be placed on
the consolidated property.
The City of Dubuque will pay for asbestos testing and mitigation of any hazardous
materials, removal/disconnection of sewer/water connections at the mains.
Adams' would be responsible to combine the two parcels and to demolish 321 Valeria
Street.
The abstract for 321 Valeria Street and 154 W. 23rd Street will be re-platted combining
the two parcels with the Restrictive 21-year covenant being attached to the parcel
before deeding the property to Adams'. The Real Estate will be restricted for residential
use of no more than one single-family owner-occupied property. Rental of the real
estate is not allowed. No portion of the real estate can be rented as an apartment.
Action Step
The action requested of the City Council is to approve the attached resolution, declaring
the City's intent to dispose of the property and set the date for the public hearing to
receive comments on the proposed sale and recommend the City Council approve the
Contract for Sale of the property to Dawn M. Redfern a/k/a Dawn M. Adams of 154 W.
23rd Street in accordance with the above discussion and attached Agreement.
