PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT AUGUST 17, 2021
CONSENT AGENDA
ITEM I-F: ACCEPT SIDEWALK EASEMENT AT 3087 OREGON STREET
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: City of Oshkosh Department of Public Works
Owners: Thomas A. 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.

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.
