SUBJECT: Dedication of Right-of-Way and Easement Agreement for Public Utilities with
Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley along Owasco Avenue in Elgin
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with
information to consider the acceptance of a dedication of right-of-way and an easement
agreement with Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley for public utilities serving
• proposed residential property located along the north side of Owasco Avenue in Elgin.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council accept the dedication of right-of-way and easement
agreement and authorize staff to execute and record the documents.
BACKGROUND
Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley is proposing to extend the sanitary sewer along
Owasco Avenue to service five (5) buildable lots on the north side of the roadway. An easement
is needed along north edge of the right-of-way for Owasco Avenue to allow for the installation
and maintenance of the sanitary sewer. The easement area encompasses a rectangular area 10' in
width, across lots 10, 11 and 12 of Sadler's Addition to Elgin Illinois. Recording of the easement
is a condition for approval of the site development.
A dedication of right-of-way is being provided in order to incorporate existing street area in the
Owasco Avenue and Steel Street intersection into the public right-of-way. The dedication area is
a triangular shaped area with sides along Owasco Avenue and Steel Street being 12.90 feet and
13.20 feet respectively. The dedication and easement are depicted on the attached location map.
Upon approval by the City Council, the dedication and easement agreement will be recorded by
the City at Kane County.

None.
ALTERNATIVES
I
• 1. The City Council may approve the dedication and agreement.

maintenance of public utilities very difficult and existing pavement of a public street will
encroach into-lot 10 without proper authorization.
Respectfully submitted for Council consideration.
