A small area of additional land outside public right -of -way is required for construction of the ramps. Each triangular easement runs five feet along each street and approximately seven feet along the hypotenuse totaling 12.50 square feet. The easements will not have a negative impact on either property and are necessary for the placement of the wheelchair ramps. The Department of Public Works will work with the property owners to have appropriate easement documents signed and, if approved, will be recorded at the Winnebago County Register of Deeds.
