Additional Property Attributes

The asbestos contamination was confined to the building debris and not in any environmental media. 6/5/09 Supplemental Assessment was a Phase I update. On May 20, 2010, field cleanup activities, backfilling, and initial seeding were complete. The City later determined initial seeding to be insufficient, and following negotiations with the subcontractor, the City completed the seeding on September 30, 2011. Environmental Professional's documentation that on-property cleanup work is finished (cleanup report) was completed July 10, 2012.

Former Use: The project area included 129, 133, 137, and 141 South Main Street. The entirety of the project site was originally deeded to John Goodenow in 1848. Mr. Goodenow divided the property into blocks as recorded in the original plat of the City of Maquoketa, Iowa. The four structures that make up the Redevelopment Site were all built in the late-nineteenth century. The first structure on the site to be built was 141 South Main Street which formerly occupied two addresses, both 141 and 143 South Main, which was constructed in 1879. Originally referred to as the �J.E. Squires Block,� the structure housed primarily dry goods and clothing stores, including its last occupant, Jackson County Home Furnishings. The other two structures, 133 South Main Street which formerly occupied the addresses of both 133 Main and 135 South Main, and was known as the Morris & Griffin Block building and 137 South Main Street which formerly occupied the address of both 137 Main and 139 South Main, and was known as the Job Reynolds Block building were both built in 1881. The 135 South Main building was first occupied by Morris & Griffin Agricultural Implements, although its primary use over the years was a caf�r restaurant. At the time of the fire, the occupant was Breitbach Floor Covering. The 137 South Main building was first occupied by Rice and Williams Clothing and Dry Goods, although its primary use was a dry goods and clothing store. At the time of the fire, Jackson County Home Furnishings was occupying this structure as well. The last of the buildings in the South Main Redevelopment Site to be built was 129 South Main, which was built in 1882. It was a shoe and clothing store from 1901 to 1983, when it was turned into Sue�s Hallmark, which was the occupant in the 2008 fire. In June of 2009, the City of Maquoketa purchased all four properties with the purposes of gaining control of the site and cleaning up the asbestos.
