# of Attachments: 1
SUBJECT: Request for vacate and sale of city -owned property — former
Westfield Avenue, abutting Winterbottom condominiums, for $1.00,
plus costs.
Submitted by: Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director
Recommended City Council Action: We ask that the Building & Grounds
Committee recommend the property sale be forwarded to full City Council.
Summary Statement: The Winterbottom Condominium Association is requesting
the City of Waterloo vacate, sell, and convey the portion of Westfield Avenue
abutting their site. With the relocation and reconstruction of the West Commercial
Street portion in this area, the main thoroughfare in this area was changed from the
portion they are requesting. It would appear the portion is no longer needed for
current or future city purposes, but would rather best be utilized by the association
as a parking area.
The association has documented costs of surveying, need for an easement to be
retained, repairs planned, and loss of past parking to meet the Sale of Property
Policy requirements for the reduction of the original asking price of $5,991.59. Staff
felt it best to go to Building & Grounds Committee first to discuss the reductions
being calculated, to ensure they all qualify prior to going to full City Council.
The reductions from original asking price of $5,991.59:
1. Easement over entire area — reduce by 50% ($2,995.80)
2. Cost of survey as staff was unable to write a legal description for site - $970
($2,025.80)
3. Loss of 12 parking stalls from former street frontage — new street does not allow
parking - $923.01 ($1,102.79)
4. Plans for improvements needed as street is reportedly in disrepair - $1,600
($1.00)

included in the above, such as — snow clearance from area for past 2 years,
landscaping plans, signage needs, etc. (see attached)
Expenditure Required: NA
Source of Funds: NA
Policy Issue: Sale of Property
Alternative: Not sell land
Background Information: The Winterbottom Condominium redevelopment has
been a great redevelopment for the City of Waterloo, and this portion of roadway
does not appear to be needed for present and/or future city needs. It would appear
best to vacate and sell the portion to the condominium association for a well
designed project at their site, as well as bring additional taxes to the City of Waterloo
by conveying this property into private ownership.

Request by Westfield Lofts Condominium Association to vacate a
12,618.9 SF of former Westfield Avenue right-of-way located
between West Jefferson and West Commercial Streets, directly
west and adjacent to 25 West Commercial Street.
Westfield Lofts Condominium Association, 25 West Commercial
Street, Waterloo, IA 50701
The applicant is requesting to vacate the 12,618.9 SF piece of
right-of-way in question for the purpose of incorporating the land in
question with the property they own at 25 West Commercial Street.
The City has requested that the entire portion of right-of-way be
vacated, and at this time, the City would retain ownership of the
smaller parcel of former Westfield Avenue right-of-way, and grant
the necessary easements to the abutting property owners.
The request would not appear to have a negative impact on the
surrounding neighborhood.
The request
vehicular or p
sidewalk that
Commercial
would not appear to have a negative impact on
edestrian traffic movements in the area. There is
extends south and west along the south side of West
Street towards Highway 218.
The Trolley Trail starts near the intersection of River Road and
West Commercial Street, directly north of the site in question. The
Sergeant Road Trail is located at the intersection of West Jefferson
Street and Westfield Avenue.
Approximately the southeasterly half of the piece of ground in
question abutting 25 West Commercial Street is zoned "C-2"
Commercial District, and it has been zoned as such since August
2000, when it was rezoned from "M-2" Heavy Industrial District.
The other half of the right-of-way facing towards closest to the
intersection of West Commercial/West Jefferson Streets and River
Road is zoned "M-2,P" Planned Industrial District, and was rezoned
as such in November 2006 from "M-2" Heavy Industrial District.
North — Cedar Valley Tech Works and Manatt's Concrete, zoned
"M-2,P" Planned Industrial District and "M-2" Heavy Industrial
District respectively.
South — US Bank, former Happy Chef restaurant and former Grand
Hotel, zoned "M-1" Light Industrial District.
East — Westfield Avenue Lofts, zoned "C-2" Commercial District.
West — Cedar Valley Tech Works, zoned "M-2,P" Planned Industrial
District.

ZONING
ORDINANCE:
January 4, 2010
The surrounding area is comprised of heavy industrial uses, with
John Deere's Westfield Avenue site being located directly to the
west. Also, the Cedar Valley Tech Works is located directly to the
west, and work is currently ongoing at that location as additional
redevelopment occurs at that site.
No buffers or additional screening is needed with this request.
Vacation of the right-of-way would not appear to have a negative
impact on drainage in the area.
The property is located within the Zone-B, 500-year floodplain as
indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood
Insurance Rate Map 190025 0004, dated July 3, 1985.
The RiverLoop Exposition area is located approximately % mile to
the southeast at the intersection of Jefferson Street and West Park
Avenue. The Cedar River is approximately 300 yards north of the
site in question.
There is a 12" water main located within the center of the right-of-
way in question. A 30" storm sewer line is located near the west
property line that abuts Tract "G" of Tech Works Addition. An 8"
sanitary sewer line is located within the eastern half of the right-of-
way. If the right-of-way is vacated, the Engineering Department is
recommending that an easement be retained over, under and upon
the entire area.
The Future Land Use Map (February 3, 2003) designates the area
as Industrial. The proposed vacate would be consistent with that
designation. The site is located within the Primary Growth Area.
The applicant is requesting to vacate all of the former Westfield
Avenue right-of-way between West Jefferson and West
Commercial Streets, however, only convey approximately 0.29
acres located next to 25 West Commercial Street. The applicant
owns the condominiums directly next to the right-of-way in question
at 25 West Commercial Street. Vacation of the right-of-way would
not appear to have a negative impact upon the surrounding area,
as it would appear that the area would not be needed for any future
public right-of-way purposes. Westfield Avenue previously traveled
over the right-of-way in question before West Jefferson Street,
West Commercial Street and River Road were reconfigured as a
part of the Cedar Valley Tech Works project. Currently, Westfield
Avenue ends at West Jefferson Street, whereas previously,
Westfield Avenue used to wrap around the north side of 25 West
Commercial Street and connect into former River Road near the
Manatt's Concrete Plant.
The submitted vacate plat shows a 12" water main near the center
of the ground in question, running from West Jefferson Street to
West Commercial Street. A 12" water main also runs along the far
Vacate Westfield Ave RoW — 25 W Commercial Page 2 of 4 28
STAFF ANALYSIS —
SUBDIVISION
ORDINANCE:
January 4, 2010
north portion of the right-of-way abutting West Commercial Street.
The plat shows 20' wide water/utility easements being retained
over these water lines. There is also a 30" storm sewer that runs
near the west line of the right-of-way, near Tract "G" of Tech Works
Addition. An 8" sanitary sewer line runs near the east line of the
right-of-way in question near 25 West Commercial Street. The
Engineering Department has reviewed the vacate plat and has
noted that they would prefer to have an easement retained over the
entire piece of right-of-way after it was vacated rather than having
multiple easements upon the lot. Staff has contacted the
applicant's surveyor to make them aware of the situation, and the
surveyor has indicated that he would make contact with the condo
association's chairperson in regards to the full easement request
by the City. Also, before the vacate request would be forwarded to
the City Council, the applicant would need to an "Intent to Vacate"
form signed by the abutting property owner that owns Tract "G" of
Techworks Addition. The Sale of City Property Policy does allow
for abutting property owners to claim right-of-way that abuts their
land if a vacate process is initiated, or, they could decline.
The City has also requested that the remaining right-of-way
between West Jefferson Street and the parcel of ground the
applicant is requesting to vacate also be vacated. It has been a
standard policy by the City that when right-of-way is vacated, that
the entire portion be vacated so that small stubs or portions of
right-of-way are not remaining, and the right-of-way has a
consistent width. This additional area is also not needed for public
road purposes, and is only needed for private access of the
adjoining property owners, which includes the applicant and Cedar
Valley Tech Works. Vacating will ensure that the City will not be
responsible for future maintenance of a private drive. The City
could retain ownership and grant access easements to the 2
abutting property owners, or convey the land to 1 of the 2 abutting
property owners, and with an agreement on access and
maintenance of the piece of property between the 2 abutting
property owners.
The applicants intend to use the piece of ground after it is vacated
for parking purposes, as there is a very limited amount of space for
parking on the site.
There is no platting required for this request.

STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request to vacate all of
RECOMMENDATION: former Westfield Avenue right-of-way between West Jefferson and
West Commercial Streets, and convey the 12,618.9 SF area of
right-of-way west of 25 West Commercial Street be approved for
the following reasons:
1. The request would not appear to have a negative impact on
the surrounding area.
2. The request would not appear to have a negative impact
upon pedestrian or vehicular traffic conditions within the
surrounding area.
3. It would appear that the right-of-way is no longer needed for
any current or future right-of-way purposes.
Subject to the following condition(s):
1. That an easement be retained over, under and upon the
entire area to be vacated.
2. That the applicant obtain a signed "Intent to Vacate" form
from the abutting property owner to the north and west,
indicating if they have do or do not have an interest in
purchasing the right-of-way abutting their property.

RE: Offer to Vacate and Purchase Public Right of Way Application to
City of Waterloo, Black Hawk County, State of Iowa
Noel Anderson, City Planner:
Reviewing the study and Plat completed by Kirk D. Eschliman, P.L.S. on January 6, 2011, a total
land value of $2,995.80 has been assessed to the combined parcels C and M, for which the offer
to vacate has been requested.
The Westfield Condo Association would like to propose purchase price of $1 for parcels C & M
in question, due to the following concerns:
- The asphalt surface was left in a state of disrepair during road construction, and is broken
and incomplete. This will require attention. Quotes to repair this are being collected,
now that the snow has cleared, but will be in excess of the value of the land.
The association had access to 6 or 7 parking spaces along the original road configuration,
which are no longer available for our use.
- The main lobby and buzzer system to the building is no longer easily accessible from any
parking, making directions to access the building difficult. Modifications or signage will
be required to direct visitors to the front lobby.
- The condo association has been maintaining and clearing the snow from this area for the
past 2 years, and will continue to maintain this area in the future.
The association has plans to landscape adjoining areas to help improve the overall region.
The survey work required to complete this request.
Based on the circumstances listed above, the association has chosen to make such a request so
that the funds that would be used to purchase the land in question would be used to invest into
the property, and improve the area.
Please review this proposal and let me know if additional information is required.

Westfield Condominium Association

Subject: Westfield portion vacate
Marc, Teri -
Sorry for delay in getting this back to you, I wanted to explore all of the options we had discussed in your
work to vacate and acquire the portion of street that would be best used as a parking lot for the
condominium association.
On your submitted form to vacate , sell and convey:
The asking price, as determined by the average assessed value of land of abutting and/or adjacent land,
is $5,991.59. This was determined by an average price per square foot from the other abutting parcels of
$0.4748 per square foot, for a the approximate 12,618.9 sq. ft. parcel (0.28969 acres).
The area to be vacated will need an easement over it due to water and other potential infrastructure
underneath, so it is reduced by 50%, to put a new price of $2,995.80.
The cost of survey, $970.00, is an eligible deduction as well, as it was needed to legally describe the area
for sale purposes, further reducing the asking price to $2,025.80.
We had been asked to review the loss of parking that was previously available to the condominium
association, but lost through the new street configuration and reconstruction. This was asked to be
included primarily because the main reason for the association to want to vacate and acquire the parcel
described was to "gain back" parking lost as a part of the street project.
We have determined that approximately 12 parking spaces were lost due to the new street alignment and
layout. A typical parking space is 9' by 18' (per the Waterloo Zoning Ordinance requirements), and thus if
we agree that those are allowed to be included as a deduction, that would be an amount -- at $0.4748 per
square foot -- of $923.01 (9' by 18' equals 162 sq. ft., times 12, equals 1,944 sq. ft., times $0.4748, equals
$923.01). This would further reduce the asking price last calculated of $2,025.80 by the $923.01 number
to $1,102.79.
Please let me know how you wish to proceed. I recommend we go to the Building & Grounds Committee
first, to determine they approve of all the deductions as described, so we can go to full Council with a
recommendation of approval.
thanks,
Noel

Marc - the Sale of Property Policy does allow you to count improvements towards the land purchase price
as well. Based on the information below and in your previous email (I had seen the previous email before
but needed some hard figures to be able to put against the policy requirements) the additional $1,600
alone would put you at the requested amount of $1.00.
I would recommend we forward to Building & Grounds with the attachment and explanations from these
emails.
Please confirm and we will forward to Building & Grounds for the June 6th meeting, so we can move onto

Marc,
Was nice meeting with you again this noon.
Have talked with Dennis Gentz, P.E., Asst. City Eng. regarding work on the parking area.
The City would like to review the plans, but sees noe real issue with redoing the surface as we discussed.
One of those fine lines, a little bit of work is ok, but if we go to far, then redesign the whole thing.
Personally I think we will be fine. As discussed.
Site plan with grades, and elevations to dress up the current surface (Improve the appearance of the

Looks like we need a site plan in order to get quotes to complete the parking area.

Thanks,
