CONSENT AGENDA
ITEM I.G: GRANT ACCESS EASEMENT AT 885 & 905 W. 17TH AVENUE (PARCELS
1410020000 and 1410020800)
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Mark & Debra Baier
Owner: City of Oshkosh
Actions Requested:
The City of Oshkosh is requesting the granting of an access easement to allow the applicant
vehicular access through city-owned property on W 17th Avenue to a residential accessory
structure located on the applicant’s property at 1732 Knapp Street.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
N/A
Property Location and Background Information:
The proposed easement will be located on land recently acquired by the city to mitigate
methane gas emanating from the former Kienast landfill on the south side of W. 17th Avenue
east of Knapp Street. The subject sites (parcels 1410020000 and 1410020800) are vacant besides
for a few structures and piping required for methane remediation purposes.
The applicants own an unusually deep lot fronting on Knapp Street which is immediately to the
south of the city’s property. The applicants have a detached garage/accessory structure just
south of the city’s property. Due to the
layout of the applicants’ house and
attached garage along Knapp Street and
presence of neighboring structures,
vehicular access to the applicants’
detached garage in the rear yard is not
possible. The applicants approached
the city to request an easement to allow
vehicular access through the city’s
property which will connect to their
rear yard.

ANALYSIS
The proposed 12-foot by 306-foot, 3,679 square foot easement is located south of an existing
apron off W. 17th Avenue that once served a residential property. The easement runs through
two city-owned lots, abutting the applicants’ property to the south in close proximity to their
detached garage.
The easement will allow the applicants access over the city’s vacant property to allow limited
and occasional access by automobiles and light duty trucks. The city has installed grass
pavers/geogrids as a driving surface within the easement. No other driving surfaces can be
installed. The applicants will be responsible for any damage caused to the grass
pavers/geogrids due to their vehicle movements.
The City Attorney’s office has drafted the necessary easement documents. The Department of
Public Works does not have concerns with the proposed easement and is coordinating with the
grantees 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 access easement at on city-owned
parcels 1410020000 and 1410020800 as proposed.
