EXCUSED: Archie Stam
STAFF: Allen Davis, Executive Director/Community Development Director; Darlene

Chairperson Palmeri called the meeting to order at 4:00 pm. Roll call was taken and a quorum
declared present.
The minutes of January 15, 2020 and Closed Session January 15, 2020 were approved as
distributed. (Belter/Panek).
20-06 Determination of Necessity; Establish Fair Market Value; Authorize Purchase of
706 South Main Street ($908,000)
Motion by Belter to move Res. 20-06
Seconded by Lasky.
Ms. Panek asked if the lot would be reconfigured and combined with the rest of the properties
owned by the RDA.
Mr. Davis stated it would be reconfigured once a development would be proposed for the sites.
Ms. Panek questioned if the amount offered of $908,000 is the assessed or appraised value.
Mr. Davis stated the assessed value is around $250,000 and the appraised value is approximately
$450,000. The $908,000 is the appraised value, the relocation costs that Mr. Dumke incurred to
move Lueck's to a new location and any attorney fees and costs associated with the acquisition and
sale of the property. The acquisition and relocation costs would have been much higher for the
City than for a private developer.
Ms. Palmeri asked if there was a joint wall between Luecks and the bowling alley at 710 S. Main St.
Mr. Davis stated there is a joint wall which was an issue for demolition. Acquiring Lueck's now
would also save the City money on demolition that is already taking place at 43 E. 7t" Avenue. The
crew is already on site and could finish demolition of the entire block at once if the acquisition is
approved.
Mr. Hintz arrived at 4:05
RDA Minutes March 9, 2020 Page 1
Ms. Panek asked about the fair market value of the property.
Mr. Davis stated the price per square foot is similar to what the RDA has been paying for the
surrounding properties.
Ms. Palemri asked how much has been spent on acquisition for the 700 Block of S. Main St. since
this is the last piece.
Mr. Davis stated with this last piece acquisitions would be approximately $4 million for the 700
and 800 block of South Main St.
Mr. Belter asked at what point do we know this is a good economic development move for the
City.
Mr. Davis stated that conversation would likely take place at a future meeting with the RDA.
When the RDA releases the RFP for redevelopment of this site it will be important for the RDA to
discuss recovering costs.
Mr. Lasky asked how much value does staff think has been removed from the area between 6th and
1411, Avenue along Main Street. Is it $4 million out of $25 million in value? It is good to see these
sites redeveloped but it is also taking money away from the TIF.
Mr. Davis stated he did not have those numbers but could research. He stated a quick turn around
and time horizon is critical for this site so costs can be recouped as soon as possible.
Ms. Palmeri asked if there would be interest in the RFP.
Mr. Davis stated he believes there will be interest. There was still a lot of unknowns the last time
the RFP was released for this area. Now that the RDA is in control of Pioneer Drive and Decades
property there should be more interest.
Mr. Belter asked at what point will environmental work be completed.
Mr. Davis stated the City was awarded an EPA grant that can be used on Phase I and Phase 11
environmental. There will be limited Phase I1's done on 43 E. 71h Avenue, the rest will wait until
properties are developed.
The item zvas called. Motion carried 6-0.
There was no further discussion. The meeting adjourned at approximately 4:25 PM.

REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF OSHKOSH, WISCONSIN
MARCH 18, 2020 20-07 RESOLUTION
(APPROVED LOST LAID OVER WITHDRAWN )
PURPOSE: APPROVE SPOT BLIGHT DESIGNATION; APPROVE
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY AT 1004 SOUTH MAIN STREET
WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Oshkosh was created to
assist in the elimination and prevention of blight and blighting influences and to promote
urban renewal; and
WHEREAS, the property at 1004 S. Main St. exhibits conditions cited under Section
66.1333 (2m)3.(bm) of the Wisconsin Statutes that consider said property to be blighted;
and
WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Authority has conducted a public hearing to
obtain comments and determine if said property is blighted; and
WHEREAS, the owner has offered the property at 1004 S. Main Street to the
Redevelopment Authority in the amount of $119,000 plus closing costs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Redevelopment Authority of the
City of Oshkosh that:
1. Findings and Determinations. It has been found and determined and is
hereby declared that:
(a) conditions of blight exist at the Property; and
(b) the property is not within a designated redevelopment area but can
be acquired if spot blighted by the Redevelopment Authority to

within the Sawdust District; and
(c) the existing structure may be leased for storage as a short term use,

MARCH 18, 2020 20-07 RESOLUTION

TO: City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director
DATE: March 12, 2020
SUBJECT: 20-07 Approve Spot Blight Designation; Approve Acquisition of Property at 1004
South Main Street ($119,000)
Background
The City was recently offered a vacant building at 1004 South Main Street. The recently
adopted Sawdust District Plan identifies the Main Street corridor as a high -priority
redevelopment site, with right of way widening and mixed use development goals. The
property at 1004 South Main Street meets those criteria.
Analysis
The current owner does not occupy the building, nor is there any tenant. The current
owner approached City staff with an interest in selling the property to the City for the
assessed value of the property. City staff has completed a field inspection and
recommends acquisition and eventual demolition. The roof is leaking in many locations,
but storage could be considered as a short-term use. The long term plan for the property
would be to land bank the property for the future redevelopment of the Main Street
Corridor. The vacant building would remain with limited storage until the demolition of
the property could be combined with other demolition of structures in the neighborhood.
Fiscal Impact
The RDA/City can use a portion of the $300,000 in 2020 Scattered -Site CIP funds for the
acquisition. On -going maintenance of the parcel would cost about $500/year for snow
removal.
Recommendation
The RDA approves the Spot Blight Designation and Approves the Acquisition of 1004
South Main Street for $119,000.

(APPROVED LOST LAID OVER WITHDRAWN )
PURPOSE: APPROVE SPOT BLIGHT DESIGNATION; APPROVE
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY AT 1628 LIBERTY STREET ($26,500)
WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Oshkosh was created to

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Redevelopment Authority of the
City of Oshkosh that:
1. Findings and Determinations. It has been found and determined and is
hereby declared that:
(a) conditions of blight exist at the Property due to dilapidation and
deterioration; and
(b) the property is under raze orders by the City of Oshkosh due to
property maintenance and code violations; and
(c) the property is not within a designated redevelopment area but can

TO: City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director
DATE: March 10, 2020
SUBJECT: 20-08 Approve Spot Blight Designation; Approve Acquisition of Property
at 1628 Liberty Street ($26,500)
Background
The property at 1628 Liberty Street is under raze orders by the City. The property is
currently vacant and the owner is willing to sell to the RDA for $26,500 plus closing
costs. The property is one block outside of the Congress Field Neighborhood
Association
Analysis
The house at 1628 Liberty Street is blighted and should be demolished. The lot is 50'x
132' and would allow for the construction of a new affordable single family home. The
Fair Market Value for the property is $47,000.
This block area is ranked mid -low on the Quality of Life Map. Demolition of the
existing house and construction of a new affordable single family home would improve
the neighborhood.
Fiscal Impact
CDBG funds will be used for the acquisition and demolition tipping fees. There are
adequate funds available for this type of blight removal project.
Recommendation
The RDA approves the Spot Blight Designation and approves the Acquisition of
Property at 1628 Liberty Street for ($26,500)

WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Oshkosh was created to
assist in the elimination and prevention of blight and blighting influences and to promote

hereby declared that:
(a) conditions of blight exist at the Property due to dilapidation and
deterioration; and
(b) the property is under orders from the City for housing maintenance
code violations; and
(c) the property is not within a designated redevelopment area but can

2. Spot Blight Designation._ The Authority hereby finds that the Property is
blighted in need of rehabilitation and blight elimination under the meaning
in Section 66.1333 (2m)3.(bm) of Wisconsin Statutes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the proper officials are hereby authorized and

TO: City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director
DATE: March 10, 2020
SUBJECT: 20-09 Approve Spot Blight Designation; Approve Acquisition of Property
at 422 Otter Avenue ($15,000)
Background
The property at 422 Otter Avenue is under property maintenance raze orders by the
City. The property is currently vacant and has not been maintained on the interior or
exterior of the house for several years. The owner is willing to sell to the RDA for back
taxes and special assessments which amounts to $15,000 plus closing costs. The
property is in the River East Neighborhood Association.
Analysis
The house at 422 Otter Street is blighted and should be demolished. The Fair Market
Value for the property is $99,000.
The house is located in one of the lowest scoring blocks on the Quality of Life Map. The
property and block score below average for condition, police calls and foreclosures.
The house condition could be a contributing factor to the low score for the block.
Removing the house will increase the block and neighborhood score.
Fiscal Impact
CDBG funds will be used for the acquisition and demolition tipping fees. There are
adequate funds available for this type of blight removal project.
Recommendation
The RDA approves the Spot Blight Designation and approves the Acquisition of
Property at 422 Otter Avenue for $15,000.

MARCH 18, 2020 20-10 RESOLUTION
CONT'D
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Redevelopment Authority of the
City of Oshkosh, that the City of Oshkosh 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, 2020 Annual
Action Plan, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice plan and the Citizens
Participation Plan, all on file in the Community Development office, are hereby accepted;
and the Redevelopment Authority requests that the Oshkosh Common Council support
and approve of these Plans.
ITEM: REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE OF 2020-2024 CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2020
ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AND CITIZENS PARTICIPATION PLAN
ITEM: ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO FAIR HOUSING CHOICE
BACKGROUND
The RDA is being asked to review and accept the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, 2020 CDBG
Annual Action Plan, Citizens Participation Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
Choice for the City's Community Development Block Grant Program.
The City requested proposals and Urban Design Ventures from Pennsylvania was selected to
assist in the development of these Plans. During the development of these Plans, numerous
stakeholders were consulted through individual meetings, roundtable discussions, and phone
calls. Additionally, the City developed an online resident survey on Survey Monkey and Polco,
as well as a mailing campaign including a paper questionnaire in the City's water bills. There
was a total of 1,159 responses, with a response rate just under 2%.
ANALYSIS
2020-2024 Consolidated Plan
Every five years, the City is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) to prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan to assess our affordable housing,
community development, economic development and strategic planning needs. These needs
and priorities are then addressed annually through the submittal of the Annual Action Plan,
which presents specific activities the City will accomplish with Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds.
Basic comments received from the on-line surveys and questionnaires, included:
• Need for affordable housing
• Need for living wage employment
• Need for integrated housing and supportive service network
• Need for improvements on fair housing reporting
• Need for infrastructure improvements
• Need for transportation improvements
• Need for additional recreation facilities
Based on all comments received to date, the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan proposes the
following six strategies to address priority needs of low- to moderate -income persons and
households in the community:
1) Housing Strategy: need for decent, safe, and sanitary housing that is affordable and
accessible to homebuyers, homeowners and renters.
2) Homeless Strategy: need for housing, services and facilities for homeless persons and
persons at -risk of becoming homeless.
3) Other Special Needs Strategy: need for housing, services and facilities for persons with
special needs.
4) Community Development Strategy: need to improve community facilities,
infrastructure, public services and quality of life in Oshkosh.
5) Economic Development Strategy: need to encourage employment and to promote
economic opportunities in Oshkosh.
6) Administration, Planning and Management Strategy: need for planning, administration,
management and oversight of federal, state, and local funded programs.
Funding will be provided on a community wide basis but directed primarily to low and
moderate income (LMI) populations, as well as within LMI census tracts and block groups. The
City will use the Consolidated Plan's goals and strategies to allocate CDBG funds over the next
5 years as well as provide direction to partners collaborating on addressing the needs of LMI
persons.
2015 Annual Action Plan
Annually, the CDBG Action Plan is prepared to demonstrate how federal funds from HUD will
be spent. Please refer to page 104 of the Consolidated Plan document for the 2020 Annual
Action Plan. The 2020 Program Year runs from May 1 thru April 30. The 2020 CDBG
entitlement allocation is $841,094 (see attached proposed budget). HUD regulations require that
at least 70% of CDBG funds benefit LMI persons over a one to three year certification period. As
proposed, over 70% of the 2020 CDBG funds subject to LMI benefit calculations will be
expended on activities that benefit LMI persons.
Staff is recommending that the City allocate $118,000 for public service activities and programs
that will benefit LMI persons/households in the community. The Public Service allocation
cannot represent no more than 15% of the total annual allocation, including previous years
contract payments made after the end of the previous program year.
Owner occupied housing improvement applications (non-public service) are due to the
Community Development Department on March 16. These applications do not include first
time homebuyer's assistance, emergency repairs or rehabilitation of rental properties. Non -
Public Service allocations are included in the 70% of CDBG funds spent for LMI persons. Staff is
recommending that the City allocate $205,094 for the owner occupied Housing Rehabilitation
Program. A new housing code violation program recently approved by Council will allocate
$50,000, and $200,000 is being allocated for the creation of new affordable rental units by a
private developer.
Remaining funding is recommended for Central City Redevelopment for removal of slum and
blight ($150,000), Neighborhood Initiatives ($25,000) to make improvements to infrastructure in
the public right-of-way, Fair Housing Activities ($19,000), and Administration ($74,000).
CITIZENS PARTICIPATION PLAN
As part of the development of a Consolidated Plan and Fair Housing Plan, HUD regulations 24
CFR Part 91.105, requires adoption of an updated citizen participation plan that at a minimum
includes the following broad elements:
• Description of the public participation process, including public hearings and public
comment periods
• Ensured opportunities for involvement of affected persons and other concerned citizens
in the planning process
• Transparency of the planning process and freedom of access to draft Plans
• Instructions to guide the public's submission of comments and the standards for the
grantee's response
• Procedures for continuity of participation throughout all stages of the appropriate Plan's
development
The Citizen Participation Plan is a pathway for all citizens to exercise their voice and influence
decisions that affect their community, neighborhoods and way of life. The Citizens Participation
Plan, as proposed, meets or exceeds the requirements of 24 CFR 91.105.
ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO FAIR HOUSING
As an entitlement community receiving CDBG funds, Oshkosh must demonstrate it is
affirmatively furthering fair housing by conducting a Fair Housing Analysis which identifies
any impediments to fair housing choice and what steps the city will take to address those
impediments. The Fair Housing Act was originally passed in 1968 to protect buyers and renters
from discrimination based on their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or familial
status from sellers and landlords by making it unlawful to refuse the sale or rental of a property
to persons included under the category of a protected class.
The City's current Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice plan was approved in
2013 by the Plan Commission, Common Council and HUD. The proposed Al will outline
progress made since the 2013 Plan, explore the continuation of impediments where necessary,
and identify any new impediments to fair housing choice. This new AI Plan is designed to act
as a planning tool, providing Oshkosh with the necessary framework to strategically reduce any
identified impediments to fair housing choice over the next 5 years and continue to make
modifications based on events and activities in the community during this time period.
In the preparation of the proposed Fair Housing Plan, staff and the City's consultant reviewed
the most recent demographic data for the area from the US Census Bureau, US Department of
Housing and Urban Development, the Housing Authority's Five Year and Annual Public
Housing Action Plan, and conducted one on one interviews and round table discussions with
various City and County Departments, the Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority,
community, social service and advocacy agencies, and included fair housing questions on the
SurveyMonkey and Polco citizens surveys.
Based on available data, public input and research, the consultant identified four impediments
to Fair Housing Choice in Oshkosh, as well as defined specific goals and strategies to address
each impediment.
Impediment 1• Need for fair housing education and outreach.
Goal: Improve the public's knowledge and awareness of the Fair Housing Act, related laws,
regulations and requirements.
Strategies to address: a) educate residents; b) educate realtors, bankers, housing providers, and
others of their responsibilities under the Fair Housing Act and Americans with Disabilities Act;
c) educate policy makers and city staff; d) support fair housing organizations and legal
advocacy groups to assist persons who may be victims of housing discrimination; e) identify the
language and communication needs of LEP persons; f) continue to partner with regional
jurisdictions and housing providers to encourage fair housing choices.
Impediment 2: Need for affordable housing
Goal: Increase supply of decent, safe, and sanitary housing that is affordable and accessible
through new construction and rehabilitation of various types of housing, especially for LMI
households.
Strategies to address: a) support and encourage private developers and non-profit housing
providers to construct or rehab affordable and mixed -income housing; b) support and
encourage rehabilitation of existing renter occupied and owner occupied housing units for
households below 80% AMI; c) support homebuyer education, training programs and down
payment assistance to increase number of owner occupied housing units; d) provide federal,
state and local funding in response to HMDA data discrimination patterns to support higher
loan to value ratios for minority homebuyers; e) create data base of decent, safe and sanitary
housing that is affordable and accessible for households below 80% AMI.
Impediment 3: Need for accessible housing
Goal: Increase supply of accessible housing through new construction and rehabilitation for
persons with disabilities.
Strategies to address: a) promote need for accessible and visitable housing by support and
encouraging private develop0ers to develop, construct, or rehab housing that is accessible to
persons with disabilities; b) provide financial assistance for accessibility improvements to renter -
occupied and owner -occupied housing units to enable seniors and persons with disabilities to
remain in their homes; c) promote and enforce ADA and Fair Housing requirements for
landlords to make 'reasonable accommodations' to their rental properties so units are accessible
to tenants.
Impediment 4: Public Policy
Goal: Revise the City Zoning Ordinance to promote the development of various types of
affordable housing throughout the City.
Strategies to address: a) revise the Zoning Ordinance to include additional definitions,
statements and revisions; b) Adopt a written Reasonable Accommodation Policy for housing
developers and the Planning/Commission Commissions to follow when reasonable
accommodation requests are made concerning zoning and land use as it applies to protected
classes under the Fair Housing Act; c) develop financial incentives to encourage developers and
housing providers to offer more affordable housing options in the City; d) encourage LMI,
minorities and protect class resident participation in various City Boards/Commissions.
Final Step
The City is accepting public comments on these Plans until April 6, 2020. A summary of all
comments received by the City will be included with each respective Plan as an exhibit.
Comments can be mailed to Darlene Brandt, Oshkosh City Hall, 215 Church Avenue, Room 201,
Oshkosh, WI 54901 or email dbrandt@ci.oshkosh.wi.us. Questions can be directed to Ms. Brandt
at 920.236.5029.
Prior to Council consideration, these plans are reviewed by the Plan Commission for consistency
with the City's Comprehensive Plan, as amended, official maps, and other planned activities of
the City. The RDA's review will accept and support the Plans and Programs/Activities
proposed in providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding
economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate -income, and recommend
their approval by the Common Council.
In this regard, staff has reviewed all proposed projects and activities and none have been
identified as being contrary to the Comprehensive Plan, official maps, or other planned activities
of the City and applicable Federal regulations.
RECOMMENDATIONS/CONDITIONS
Staff recommends acceptance of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and 2020 Annual Action Plan,
Citizens Participation Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice plan for the
Community Development Block Grant Program, and requests that Council approve the Plans.

TO: City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director
DATE: March 10, 2020
SUBJECT: 20-11 Approve Sawdust District Master Plan
BACKGROUND
The Community Development Department is requesting approval of the Sawdust
District Master Plan, which describes the future goals and objectives for land use,
development and transportation in the district. The plan focuses on the area south of the
Fox River bound by Lake Winnebago to W. 17th Avenue running along S. Main Street
with some sections going as far west as Nebraska Street.
ANALYSIS
The Sawdust District Master Plan was developed in collaboration with consultant
Houseal Lavigne Associates, city staff and the Sawdust District Advisory Group. The
area was originally identified in the Imagine Oshkosh Master Plan as an opportunity
area on the south side of the Fox River. The Sawdust District Advisory Group was
established to offer input and guidance throughout the process. Additional public
input was received through individual stakeholder interviews. Staff hosted a public
open house on January 29th, 2020, which included approximately 30 attendees from the
public.
The purpose of the plan is to provide guidance for the district as redevelopment
opportunities present themselves.
The plan includes:
A. Existing Conditions
B. District History
C. Visual Vision for the district
D. Sub -Area Goals
E. Transportation Element
F. Placemaking Element
The district is divided into six sub -areas each with their own unique character and land
use plan recommendations. Each sub -area includes a description of desired conditions
that the City should work towards and are organized into several categories including
desired land uses, transportations, placemaking and design and development. The
Sawdust District Master Plan will assist in planning and implementing the future
development in the area.
Approval of the plan will continue the commitment to elevating the center city and
promote high level development and design in this special area of the community.
FISCAL'IMPACT
Approval of the Plan itself will not have a fiscal impact. Implementing various
implementation items as identified in the plan may have fiscal implications that will be
analyzed on a case by case basis.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the Sawdust District Master Plan as
requested at its February 18, 2020 meeting and Common Council approved the Plan at
the February 25, 2020 meeting.
