Washburn Street (Plan Commission recommends approval) BACKGROUND The 1.90 acre subject site is located on the east side of S. Washburn Street, approximately 1,000 feet south of W. 20th Avenue. The parcel shares frontage with U.S. Highway 41 to the functional rear of the parcel. The parcel is currently undeveloped, mainly due to a drainage way that diagonally bisects the property, making it difficult or possibly impossible to develop. The site is surrounded by industrial uses to the north, south, and west, and U.S. Highway 41 to the east. ANALYSIS The property owner contacted the Department of Public Works to determine if it would be possible to divert the existing drainage way to make the site developable. The drainage way receives storm water runoff from 100 acres of land southwest of the subject site and the owner's consultant submitted plans to the City for review which the Department of Public Works found would be able to adequately handle the flowage. To ensure the operation and maintenance of the drainage way, the City needs to acquire an access and drainage easement to allow the City legal access to the site. The Department of Public Works and the City Attorney will work with the property owner to have the appropriate easement documents prepared, signed and recorded at the Winnebago County Register of Deeds. FISCAL IMPACT None anticipated. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission approved of this request at its February 19, 2013 meeting.
