Title: To authorize the Director of the Public Service Department to execute those documents required to grant an encroachment easement for a ramp that will provide ADA compliant access to the building located at 2439 North High Street.
Explanation

As a part of the continuing effort to bring City sidewalks into compliance with ADA standards, the Public Service Department, Transportation Division, recently installed an ADA compliant ramp at the southwest corner of Blake Avenue and North High Street. As a result of the installation of the compliant ramp the sidewalk adjacent to the building located at 2439 North High Street was lowered and the building was no longer ADA accessible. The proprietor of the business located in this building is physically challenged and requires ADA compliant access to this building. To provide the necessary access the City installed a fully compliant ramp into this building and would now like to grant an encroachment easement for this ramp to George Margetis.
