PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT AUGUST 17, 2021
CONSENT AGENDA
ITEM I-E: ACCEPT SIDEWALK EASEMENT AT 1403 JACKSON STREET
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: City of Oshkosh Department of Public Works
Owners: Ka Chang Yang & Dao Chang
Actions Requested:
The City of Oshkosh is requesting acceptance of an easement to allow construction of sidewalk
and wheelchair ramp compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and
installation of a pole with overhead arm at the northwest corner of Jackson Street and Congress
Avenue.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
N/A
Property Location and Background Information:
The City has begun to implement recommendations from the recently adopted Jackson Street
Corridor and Safety Study. As part of the approved plan, the City is making a number of
changes and upgrades to traffic over and along Jackson Street, including transportation modes
such as pedestrian, vehicular, and bicycle. The part of the approved plan that affects this
Property on the northwest corner of Jackson Street and Congress Avenue is to allow the
installation of an Americans with Disabilities-compliant sidewalk and ramp, and to allow the
installation of a pole with overhead arm for an upgraded pedestrian crossing.
The subject property is Lot 1 of Block 3 of Masterson’s Park Plat, also known as 1403 Jackson
Street. The property contains a single-family home with associated amenities.
ANALYSIS
The proposed easement is a ten-foot
by ten-foot, 50 square foot triangular
easement located at the southeast
corner of the property. Due to the
width of the Jackson Street
pavement and narrow terrace,
inadequate area is available to
construct the proposed structures
entirely within public right-of-way.

The purpose of the easement is to allow the City to construct ADA-compliant sidewalk and
wheelchair easement partially on the subject property. The easement will allow the city to
access, survey, lay, construct, use, operate, maintain, repair, replace, relocate, and/or remove
public sidewalk as well as accessory sidewalk uses including signage, all of which may be over,
under, and through the property. The initial use of the easement would be for curb, ADA
compliant public sidewalk, a pole with arm overhanging the street, wireless electric pedestrian
push button, appropriate pedestrian and vehicular signals and signage. The City would be
allowed in the future to install underground conduit and wires as well as an electric pull box if
the City’s system warrants such additions.
The City Attorney’s office has drafted the necessary easement documents. The Department of
Public Works does not have concerns with the proposal and is coordinating with the property
owners to have the appropriate easement documents signed and recorded at the Winnebago
County Register of Deeds upon Common Council approval.
RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of the acceptance of the proposed easement located at 1403 Jackson
Street as proposed.
