TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Contract for Sale of Property Located at 2283 White Street
DATE: June 28, 2016
Housing and Community Development Department Alvin Nash recommends the City
Council set a public hearing for July 18 on the sale of property located at 2283 White
Street to Shawn and Christina Hanen, who currently own and occupy the property
located at 2286 Central Avenue, which adjoin each other at the rear of the properties.
On April 15, 2015, the Drug Task Force arrested individuals residing at 2283 White
Street for the manufacturing of illegal drugs. It was determined that dangerous
chemicals were used in the process of manufacturing of the illegal drugs and the
structure was posted as uninhabitable due to dangerous chemical exposure. To
eliminate a dangerous structure, the City petitioned the court for title with the desire to
demolish or de-construct the posted structure.
As part of the transaction the Hanens' 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 and the
deconstruction/demo of 2283 White Street.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

Introduction
The purpose of this memo is to propose the Contract for Sale of the property located at
2283 White to Shawn and Christina Hanen, who currently own and occupy the property
located at 2286 Central Avenue, which adjoin each other at the rear of the properties.
2283 White Street is a vacant/abandon property in which the City of Dubuque took
possession of in May 2016 through Court Order by filing for Petition of Title. This
property was used to manufacture illegal drugs.
Background
On April 15, 2015, the Drug Task Force arrested individuals residing at 2283 White
Street for the manufacturing of illegal drugs. It was determined that dangerous
chemicals were used in the process of manufacturing of the illegal drugs and the
structure was posted as uninhabitable due to dangerous chemical exposure. To
eliminate a dangerous structure, the City petitioned the court for title with the desire to
demolish or de-construct the posted structure.
Discussion:
As part of the transaction the Hanens' 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 and the
deconstruction/demo of 2283 White Street. Funding used to do perform this work will
be from the Downtown TIF (3601595).
The Hanens' would be responsible to combine the two parcels, install a paved driveway
and/or garage that meets current setback requirements and convert a graveled parking
area in their side yard to green space.
The abstract for 2283 White Street and 2286 Central Avenue will be re-platted
combining the two parcels with the Restrictive 21-year covenant being attached to the
parcel before deeding the property to Hanens'. 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 Shawn and Christina Hanen of 2286 Central Avenue
in accordance with the above discussion and attached Agreement.
