ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to establish a community garden on the subject property. The garden is
intended to provide an opportunity for community building in the neighborhood, which is a goal
outlined by the Common Council for Oshkosh neighborhoods. The,proposed garden will also
provide an option to grow fresh produce for residents who may not have available garden space
and provide teaching opportunities for children in the area. Additionally,the use of the vacant lot
as a community garden is identified as a goal within the Middle Village Neighborhood Plan which
was approved by the Common Council on March 25, 2014 (Resolution 14-233).
The community garden, as proposed, would include raised garden beds, a paved brick pathway and
a greenhouse with an attached storage shed. The applicant is also requesting additional lighting
and neighborhood identification signage be placed on the site. The garden will have rain barrels as
a water source utilizing water runoff from the proposed green house/shed structure. Use of the lot
would be limited to daylight hours only and would be permitted any day of the week.
The proposed improvements meet all bulk and dimensional requirements with the exception of the
location of the green house structure and neighborhood identification signage. The proposed
signage location will be approximately 10 feet from the sidewalk and would encroach 15 feet into,
setback. The proposed green house structure will be 3 feet from the side and rear property and
would encroach 22 feet and 4.5 feet into the rear and side yard setbacks respectively. Based on the
small lot size and existing 8 foot setback of surrounding residential properties staff believes the
proposed green house/shed and signage locations are appropriate, are outside of the vision triangle,
and will not cause any vision obstructions.
The Middle Village Neighborhood Association recently held an event and received input from
residents regarding the community garden use with the majority of the persons in attendance from
the Middle Village Neighborhood. The group discussed proposed site design and potential issues
related to the garden and all in attendance were in favor of the concept. The neighborhood will
continue working with the landscape architect and Planning Services Division to finalize specific
site design details.
The garden and other areas not used for the garden will be maintained'by the Neighborhood
Association, Maintenance will include weeding, mowing, tri-iruning, snow removal and keeping
the site orderly. The Middle Village Neighborhood Association anticipates requesting funding
through the City's Great Neighborhoods Program to complete site improvements.

The use of the vacant parcel will be assessed and approved on a yearly basis by the RDA. If the
RDA, as the owner, feels the applicant is not maintaining the site in a fashion that is compatible
fF with the neighborhood„the garden project may be terminated by the RDA.
Staff agrees with the applicant that this would be a good use for the'vacant parcel and is consistent
with the Middle Village Neighborhood Plant, The City of Oshkosh Sustainability Plan encourages
the creation of community gardens and for residents to identify and convert vacant or city-owned
land for neighborhood food plots and gardens.
