Lctt zct,LTse 10 Year Land Use Recommendation Residential 20 Year Land Use Recommendation Residential ANAIE,YSIS The applicant is proposing to establish an urban green space intended to provide a"park-like" environment on the subject property. The urban green space will allow for:additional community building opportunities in the neighborhood, which is a goal outlined by the Coininon Council for Oshkosh neighborhoods. The proposed use will also provide a safe space for children to play and a location to host neighborhood gatherings. Additionally, the use of the vacant lot as a neighborhood green space 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 urban green space, as proposed,would consist of an open lawn play area,paved brick seating area, a small play equipment structure, landscape beds and informational kiosk. Use of the lot would be limited to daylight hours only and would be permitted any day of the week. y The proposed improvements meet all bulls and dimensional requirements with the exception of the informational kiosk and play equipment area. The informationalkiosk would be located approximately 3 feet from the property line, house information relevant to residents in the neighborhood and is intended to be used by pedestrians on the sidewalk and visitors to the green space. Staff recommends the proposed kiosk.be no more than 6 feet ligh and 3 feet wide and is supportive of the proposed location based on its intended use, location outside of the vision triangle, and that it would not cause any vision obstructions. The proposed play equipment area would be located approximately 5 feet from the rear property line and 7.5 feet from the side property line. As proposed, the play equipment would encroach 20 feet into the rear yard setback and would require a base standard modification. Based on the size of the lot and the desire to maximize the lawn play area, staff feels the proposed location of the play equipment is appropriate. The urban green space will be maintained by the Neighborhood Association. Maintenance will. include weeding,mowing, trimming, 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 with the neighborhood, the urban green space may be terminated by the RDA.
