(2)
CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN
AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST THE RELEASE OF A LIEN
REGARDING A RENTAL REHABILITATION LIEN FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 718 NORTH GILBERT STREET, IOWA CITY, IOWA.
Comment: The owners of the property located at 718 North Gilbert Street
received assistance through the City's Rental Rehabilitation Program for a
total of $8,000 on October 21, 1988. The financing was in the form of a
ten-year depreciation lien. The terms of the lien were satisfied on April 21,
1999; thus, the lien can now be released.
(3)
CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN AND THE
CITY CLERK TO ATTEST THE RELEASE OF A WATER MAIN, SANITARY
SEWER AND BLANKET UTILITY EASEMENT LOCATED OVER AND ACROSS
THE VACATED PORTION OF SECOND AVENUE COURT, IOWA CITY, IOWA.
Comment: During the vacation and redevelopment of Second Avenue Court,
Iowa City, Iowa, the City temporarily retained a water main, sanitary sewer,
and blanket utility easement over the vacated portion of Second Avenue
Court to facilitate the redevelopment of the subject site. The area has now
been redeveloped to the extent that it is clear that the easement will not be
used for the location of water main, sanitary sewer or other utilities, and, as
contemplated, the developer has requested the release of the easement to
remove the encumbrance and cloud on title created by said easement. This
Resolution authorizes release of the existing, inactive easements.
(4)
CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN
AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST A SIDEWALK FEE AGREEMENT
FOR SCOTT-SIX INDUSTRIAL PARK, IOWA CITY, IOWA.
Comment: Under the Subdivider's Agreement for Scott-Six Industrial Park,
the Subdivider is required to install sidewalk along the Scott Boulevard
frontage of Outlot A contemporaneously with the paving of Liberty Drive and
Freedom Court. The impending reconstruction of the U.S. Highway 6/Scott
Boulevard intersection would materially affect the location of the sidewalk
along the Scott Boulevard frontage of Outlot A. Thus, construction of this
sidewalk at this time is premature. This agreement allows the Subdivider to
discharge its obligation and remove that cloud to title by making an
equivalent payment to the City in lieu of installing the sidewalk, with said
payment to be used by the City for sidewalk installation upon reconstruction
of the intersection.
