City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: November 23, 1998 To: City Council From: John Yapp, Associate Planner FIe; VAC98-0005, Ordinance vacating the Madison Street right-of-way south of Prentiss Street, the Des Moines Street right-of-way west of Capitol Street and the 20-foot wide alley south of Prentiss Street and west of Capitol Street. Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of VAC98-0005, subject to The University of Iowa submitting proof of ownership of all adjacent properties. The University has acquired all the properties except for lots 5 and 6 of Block 13, both owned by Thomas Alberhasky. The University requests that the City proceed with vacating the northern 160 feet of the alley south of Prentiss Street and west of Capital Street, and vacate the remainder of the rights-of-way when they acquire the Alberhasky property (see attached plats). The University has leased the Alberhasky property for a number of years, and expects to reach an agreement with Mr, Alberhasky on the acquisition of the property early this spring, The University owns all the property adjacent to the northern 160 feet of the alley. Mr. Alberhasky has submitted a letter that he does not object to the City vacating the alley. The University desires to have the City proceed with vacating and conveying the northern 160 feet of the alley so they can get started on their construction project, which is to build an office building to house administrative functions. Staff sees no problem with the City vacating the northern 160 feet of the alley now, and the remainder of the rights-of-way when The University acquires the AIberhasky property. Staff has prepared a separate item and comment for each portion of right-of-way to be vacated and conveyed, I jonb P: \PROJECTS\lg8281*0\dwg\VP-B1-01.DWCI Scale = hl I DATE: 10/14/1998I Time: 10:50I VACATION EXHIBIT PORTION OF ALLEY IN BLOCK 13, COUNTY SEAT ADDITION TO IOWA CITY, IOWA LEGEND e U11UTY POLl [] IELEPHONE PEDISTAL O[ OVERt.

Please do not pass this ordinance! If neighbors do not complain for fear of reprisal - as some say - has anyone considered setting up a 'party hot line' that would be publicized with the assurance that the identities of persons calling in complaints about loud parties would be kept confidential? </excerpt>- Caroline Dieterle -- 1 -- Fri, 20 Nov 1998 07:47:19 Prepared by: Chuck Schmadeke, Public Works Dir., 410 E.
