WHEREAS, City staff has been approached by the owner of 1101 Blackwood Circle about
vacating and conveying existing City-owned land that lies between two parcels owned by the same
owner; and,
WHEREAS, this area was platted in 1938 and an area was dedicated to the City with the
intention of providing a pedestrian connection to a future bridge over Squaw Creek; and,
WHEREAS, this area has not been used as intended and existing bridges over Squaw Creek
were placed each north and south of the original intended location; and,
WHEREAS, in coordination with staff from various City departments, it has been determined
that there is a need to expand the existing storm sewer easement located on Parcel D, adjacent to

easement is too narrow to get maintenance equipment onto the property, as the City needs to maintain
its infrastructure; and,

to the City an additional 10 feet of storm sewer easement near the existing storm sewer easement; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Iowa Code Section 364.7, the City Council has the authority, following
