DATE: January 9, 2020
RE: Approve Specific Implementation Plan for a Light Manufacturing, Retail and
Educational Facility at 717 Oregon Street (Plan Commission Recommends
Approval)
BACKGROUND
The subject area consists of one 5,850 sq. ft. parcel located at the northwest corner of Oregon
Street and W. 8th Avenue. The subject site consists of a 5,760 sq. ft. building formerly used as
Kossel's appliance store. The surrounding area consists primarily of commercial and mixed
uses along with residential uses to the west. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan
recommends Center City use for the subject area.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to use the existing building for venom production (40% of building
area), laboratory processing (10%) and educational displays (50%). According to the applicant,
the venom from snakes and scorpions will be extracted to be used for pharmaceutical research,
antivenin and evolutionary research. The facility will also be used for school field trips and will
be open to the public and include minimal retail activities. The applicant is not proposing any
changes to the exterior of the site. The facility will have four staff members who will park on
W. 8th Avenue and school groups will be dropped off in buses which will be parked off-site.
The applicant plans to replace the sign faces on the existing "Kossel's" on-building sign. No
new signage is being proposed. There will also be no changes to the existing landscaping,
existing storm water management, existing site lighting and existing building facades.
A neighborhood meeting was held at the site on September 25th to inform neighboring property
owners of the proposed use. The neighbors who attended the meeting were in favor of the
proposal. The proposed use should not be detrimental to the surrounding area.

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this project should result in a small increase in assessed property value for the site
and should require no additional city service provision. The owner is anticipating spending
approximately $325,000 on the project.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the General Development Plan and Specific
Implementation Plan with findings and a condition at its December 3, 2019 meeting.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant/Owner: Nathaniel J Frank: M Toxins Venom Lab
Action(s) Requested:
The applicant requests a zone change from the existing Central Mixed Use District(CMU) to
Central Mixed Use District with a Planned Development Overlay (CMU-PD). The applicant also
requests approval of a General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan to establish
a light manufacturing, retail and educational facility at 717 Oregon Street.

principles. Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Property Location and Background Information:
The subject area consists of one 5,850 sq. ft. parcel located at the northwest corner of Oregon
Street and W. 81h Avenue. The subject site consists of a 5,760 sq. ft.building formerly used as

ANALYSIS
Zone Change
The applicant is requesting a zone change to add a Planned Development Overlay to the
existing Central Mixed Use district(CMU)base zoning to allow for the proposed land use,
which is not specifically included in the zoning ordinance.
A Base Standard Modification (BSM)is required to allow a light
manufacturing/educational/retail use as light manufacturing and educational uses are not
permitted in the CMU district. Staff is supportive of adding the Planned Development Overlay
for this purpose as the intent is to accommodate a unique land use (anti-venom production and
educational display).
Use/Site Design
The applicant is proposing to use the existing building for venom production (40% of building
area),laboratory processing(10%) and educational displays (50%). According to the applicant,
the venom from snakes and scorpions will be extracted to be used for pharma research,
antivenin, and evolutionary research. The facility will also be used for school field trips and will
be open to the public and include minimal retail activities.
The applicant is not proposing any changes to the exterior of the site. The facility will have four
staff members who will park on 81h Avenue and school groups will be dropped off in buses
which will be parked off-site. Staff does not have concerns with parking as off-street parking
requirements are exempt in the CMU district.
A neighborhood meeting was held at the site on September 25th to inform neighboring
property owners of the proposed use. The neighbors who attended the meeting were in favor
of the proposal. Staff is supportive of a BSM to allow the proposed use as it should not be
detrimental to the surrounding area.
Signage
The applicant plans to replace the sign faces on the existing"Kossel's" on-building sign. No
new signage is being proposed.
Landscaping
No change to the existing landscaping is being proposed with this request.

Implementation Plan with findings and a condition noted. The following is the Plan
Commission's discussion on this item.
Site Inspections: Report: Mr. Hinz and Ms. Propp reported visiting the site.
Staff report accepted as part of the record.
The applicant requests a zone change from the existing Central Mixed Use District(CMU) to
Central Mixed Use District with a Planned Development Overlay (CMU-PD). The applicant also
requests approval of a General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan to establish
a light manufacturing, retail and educational facility at 717 Oregon Street.
Mr. Slusarek presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land
use and zoning classifications in this area. The applicant is proposing to use the existing
building for venom production,laboratory processing and educational displays. According to
the applicant, the venom from snakes and scorpions will be extracted to be used for pharma
research, antivenin, and evolutionary research. The facility will also be used for school field
trips and will be open to the public and include minimal retail activities. The applicant is not
proposing any changes to the exterior of the site. The facility will have four staff members who
will park on 8th Avenue and school groups will be dropped off in buses which will be parked
off-site. A neighborhood meeting was held at the site on September 25th to inform neighboring
property owners of the proposed use. The neighbors who attended the meeting were in favor
of the proposal. He noted that the UWO chancellor submitted a letter of support. He said staff
recommends approval of the rezone, General Development Plan and Specific Implementation
Plan with the findings and a condition as stated in the staff report.
Mr. Lyons added that the applicant has also been working with the Oshkosh Area School
District on some curriculum-based programs.
Mr. Fojtik opened up technical questions to staff.

ITEM. Rezone,GDP&SIP 717 Oregon St 5
There were no closing statements from the applicant.
Motion by Mitchell to adopt the findings and recommendation as stated in the staff report.
Condition:
1. Base Standard Modification to allow a light manufacturing, retail and educational
facility within the Central Mixed Use District (CMU).
Seconded by Hinz.
Mr. Fojtik asked if there was any discussion on the motion.
Mr. Mitchell stated the terrace along 81h Avenue is asphalt. He asked if it was city-owed. He
questioned if the area could be returned to grass if the applicant was supportive because it
looks much nicer than the unattractive non-beneficial asphalt. He said this would be a good
opportunity to make it greenspace.
Mr. Lyons said the terrace is in the public right-of-way and is under city jurisdiction.
Mr. Gierach explained they do like to get as much greenspace as possible on the terraces. He
said for this particular case,he did not think of it because the site is roughly 95%internal
construction. He said the terrace brings in all new sets of challenges including right-of-way
permitting. He reiterated that in general they do like to get as much greenspace as they can on
the terraces.
Mr. Mitchell clarified that he is not suggesting it as a condition of the applicant but as a separate
item for the city since there is activity at the site. He said the property owner may be fully
supportive of it.
Mr. Gierach said if the applicant is willing to do it, the city would help them get the necessary
permits to turn it from asphalt to grass.
Mr. Lyons pulled up the Google street view to show what Mr. Mitchell was referencing.
Mr. Mitchell commented it would be a good opportunity to change it to grass if both parties are
willing to. He said he is excited to see this building being utilized again. He said it is a unique
and interesting use. He stated it also adds quality value,educational value and potential health
value. He said he is excited to see this move forward.
Mr. Hinz agreed with Mr. Mitchell that this is exciting and a unique place. He said Oshkosh is
known for special and unique things and this is another one they can add to that list.
Motion carried 9-0.

SUMMARY OF PROCESS
The City of Oshkosh Plan Commission and Common Council act on all amendments to the Official Zoning Map.
The petitioner or owner should be present at both the Plan Commission and Common Council meetings to
discuss and answer questions regarding the request.
The application package is reviewed by Planning Services staff to determine conformance with adopted city
plans,zoning requirements and development standards.A staff recommendation is prepared for consideration
by the Plan Commission and Common Council.The petitioner will be provided with a copy of the staff report
and meeting notice several days prior to the Plan Commission meeting. The staff report and meeting notice will
also be available on the City's website. No notice is sent to the petitioner or owner regarding the Common
Council's consideration of the request. Petitioners and owners are encouraged to contact Planning Services
staff to find out when the request will be sent to the Common Council for review.
Neighborhood opinion is an important factor in the decision-making process.If the proposed development is
expected to have significant impact on other properties,the petitioner may be required to conduct a
neighborhood meeting to solicit public input prior to action by the Plan Commission and City Council.Planning
Services staff is available to offer assistance in compiling a mailing list for the neighborhood meeting. If deemed
appropriate,notification by mail informing the property owners within 100 feet of the subject property of the
proposal may substitute for the public meeting. Please note that a meeting notice will be mailed to all abutting
property owners regarding your request.
Within 90 days of filing a complete application,Plan Commission shall hold a public hearing to consider the
request.Within 60 days of the public hearing,the Plan Commission may make a written report to the Common

Common Council will make the final decision regarding all zone change requests. The Plan Commission may lay
over requests to subsequent meetings if incomplete information is provided or additional questions or concerns
are raised at the meeting.
After the Plan Commission makes its recommendation,the request will be forwarded to the Common Council for
consideration. This generally occurs three weeks after the Plan Commission meeting depending on the date the
Council meeting is scheduled (the Council meets on the 2nd and 41h Tuesday of every month) and on the
availability of a legal description for the zone change. Wisconsin State Statutes require a zone change to be
published as Class II notice in the local newspaper,the City takes care of this publication requirement prior to
the Council meeting.
The Common Council may approve the Official Zoning Map amendment as originally proposed,may approve
the proposed amendment with modifications,or may deny approval of the proposed amendment.If the
Official Zoning Map amendment is approved,the Ordinance is published in the newspaper on the following
Saturday and will be effective on Sunday. City administrative offices are notified of the effective date of the
Ordinance and will make changes to the Official Zoning Map accordingly.

Dear Plan.Commission members,
I write today to share the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh's support for MToxins Venom Lab,
which proposes to renovate and relocate to 717 Oregon St., Oshkosh.
I had the opportunity to meet with MToxins Founder and Owner Nathaniel Frank this fall and
learn about the company's origins, international reputation and plans for the new.site.
MToxins' planned proximity to UWO and the scientific foundation of the company's work
suggest there are outstanding collaborative opportunities for students and faculty. It is rare to
have this kind of operation and laboratory as a university neighbor,and it is encouraging to
know that MToxins' leader wishes to nurture a symbiosis between the company and UWO. I
appreciate Mr. Frank's spirit of partnership,focused on learning and research.
After our initial meeting, it is clear that there is strong potential for UWO biology and chemistry
students and faculty to engage in unique work and research experiences connected to their
studies and fields.These would likely involve high-impact practices that we know support
students'success and hone our faculty members'teaching and research.
I realize the Plan Commission's responsibilities and deliberations center on the safety,zoning
and compliance of proposed developments in the city.As administrator of an entity that would
be both neighbor to, and likely academic collaborator with, MToxins,.I feel it is important to
reach out and express our support for the company's plans and potential.
Thank you for your consideration and service to this great city.
Sincerely,

Subject: MToxins Introduction/Project overview
MToxins venom lab is a worldwide supplier of snake and scorpion venoms for the
manufacture of life saving antivenoms around the globe since 2011.
We are one of 9 venom laboratories in the world.
MToxins products have and are used in cutting edge scientific, pharmaceutical research
including but not limited to: cancer, epilepsy, and non-addictive pain medications.
We hold licenses from the Wisconsin DNR and FDA as well as working with NATO and the
WHO.
We have a strict safety protocol and are held to all Zoological standards for care and safety.
We currently take on interns from UWSP to earn 3 credits per semester for assisting in our
operation, helping to influence the next generation of scientists.
I am an Oshkosh native born and raised and my business plan has always been to move into
the city and open my facility as an educational centre for all ages.
Attached is our plan for 717 Oregon street, which will be used as follows:
40%Venom production
10% Laboratory processing
50% Educational displays
MToxins has met with the head of educational development for OASD and will be
incorporated into their lesson plans and field trip schedules.
Curriculum will begin drafting in November 2019.
MToxins held a public forum on September 25th, which was met with no opposition.
MToxins meets with the chancellor of UWO on Thursday October 3rd to discuss internship
opportunities.
Timeline for the project is as follows:
October 28th 2019: Closing on building
October 29-January 1: Build non loadbearing assemblies for operations.
Jan 1 Begin operating but closed to public.
