Item 4 – Accept Sidewalk Easement – 723 Scott Avenue
Analysis:
The sidewalk ramps that will be constructed with the Scott Avenue reconstruction project need
to follow ADA compliance for wheelchair and handicap access and use. The easement would
allow for appropriate slopes so the handicap ramps may be installed in compliance with such
guidelines.
The easement will span six feet from the northwestern property corner, in both directions, along
the property lines and then close to form a triangular easement.
The City Attorney’s Office has drafted the easement document. Upon approval by the Common
Council, the signed easement agreement will be recorded with the Winnebago County Register
of Deeds.
Recommendation/Conditions:
Staff recommends approval to accept the Sidewalk Easement within 723 Scott Avenue.
