Muraski 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). Future use of this easement would allow underground conduit and wires, as well as an electric pull box. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: N/A Property Location and Background Information: Oregon Street is currently being reconstructed and as part of the future sidewalks planned for this area the City is making a number of changes to improve pedestrian, vehicular, and bicycle traffic. With these future improvements, the southeasterly corner of this property will be affected to allow the installation of an Americans with Disabilities-compliant sidewalk and ramp. The subject property is located to the northwest of the Oregon Street and W. Waukau Avenue intersection and is known as 3087 Oregon Street. The property contains a single-family home with associated amenities and two storm easements. ANALYSIS The proposed easement is a ten-foot by twelve-foot by fifteen-foot, 57 square foot triangular easement located at the southeast corner of the property. Due to the width of the Oregon Street pavement and narrow terrace, inadequate area is available to construct the proposed structures entirely within public right-of- way. Page 1 Item I-F – Accept Easement – 3087 Oregon St 2 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 and ADA compliant public sidewalk, 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 3087 Oregon Street as proposed.
