COUNTY ROAD Y GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant/Owner: Winnebago County Department of Parks and Recreation Action(s) Requested: The applicant requests a zone change from the existing Institutional District (1) to Institutional District with a Planned Development Overlay (I-PD). The applicant also requests approval of a General Development Plan for modifications to the Sunnyview Expo Center. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: The Zoning Ordinance does not establish criteria relative to appropriateness of changing zoning from one classification to another but relies on the Comprehensive Plan and good planning principles. Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The subject site consists of one 153.3 acre parcel located on the north side of County Road Y, east of Jackson Street. The subject site includes the Winnebago County Fairgrounds and Sunnyview Expo Center and has several buildings and parking areas. The surrounding area consists primarily of vacant/agricultural land and institutional land uses. Subject Site Existing Land Use Zonin Rec-open space I Adjacent Land Use and Zoning Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Use 2040 Land Use Recommendation Park Paqe 1 ANALYSIS Zone Change The applicant is requesting a zone change to add a Planned Development Overlay to the existing Institutional district (I) base zoning to allow for expansion to the expo center parking facilities that do not meet surfacing requirements. Staff is supportive of adding the Planned Development Overlay for this purpose as the intent is to accommodate a unique land use (expo center). Use/Site Design The applicant is proposing several improvements to the Sunnyview Expo Center with a two - phased approach. The intent of the project is to expand campground areas and install new electrical services for existing and new RV sites. A conceptual layout plan has been submitted for Phase I of the project, which is for expansion and improvement of the expo east campus and includes the following: - Expansion of graveled RV/Trailer Camping Lots #3 and #4 - Reshaping of graveled RV/Trailer Camping Lot #2 - Installation of perimeter lighting throughout - Re -contouring of drainage ways and installation of storm sewer - Installation of stormwater containment ponds - Construction of a 24' wide X 1,100' long access drive within the site - RV electrical services expansion and upgrade W- -t .'d r■rrrrf ti k4.� � MI V PHASE I �N 11IL F 21' YdDE r AAL WWL ACXMBS NTO N=R ARrA r ■ I I ■ ■ FANDEED ■ f C n4jCX M — � ■ 4�cee1 ■ �. ■ q eanyiri r i ROJ*W MUSTING t LU QAFtW-WAM U* LN& I I M ITEM IX: Rezone & GDP Sunnyview Expo Center Paqe 2 The applicant notes that Phase I of the improvements is anticipated to be begin in fall of 2020 and intend to follow with Phase II for improvements to the west campus parking lot areas to begin in fall of 2021. As the project will include expansion of legal nonconforming parking surfaces (gravel), a Base Standard Modification (BSM) will be required and will be addressed during the Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) phase. Signage No new signage is being proposed. Landscaping A landscaping plan was not included with this request. A full landscaping plan will be required to be submitted as part of the SIP application. Storm Water Management/Utilities A storm water management plan was not included with this request. A finalized storm water plan will need to be submitted as part of the SIP application and approved by the Department of Public Works. Site Lighting Installation of new perimeter lighting is being proposed as part of this project, but plans have not yet been submitted. Lighting plans will be required to be submitted as part of the SIP request. Building Facades No changes to the existing building facades is being proposed with this request.

REDLIN/Assistant Expo Manager Website: http://www.co.winnebago.wi.us Winnebago County Department of Parks and Recreation The Wave of the Future Mark Lyons Planning Services Manager 215 Floor, Room 201 Oshkosh, WI 54901 Dear Mark, JAMES P. COUGHLIN CENTER 625 E. County Road Y, STE 500 Oshkosh, WI 54901-8131 Oshkosh (920) 232-1960 Expo Office (920) 232-1962 Fox Cities (920) 727-8641 Fax (920) 424-1277 May 7, 2020 Last year representatives of the Winnebago County Parks Department appeared before the City of Oshkosh Planning and Zoning Commission in order to present a preliminary version of the 2020 - 2024 update of the Sunnyview Exposition Center Master Plan. At that time the main focus of the department's presentation was directed towards informing the Commission of the County's intentions to proceed with a phased approach in implementing grounds improvements at the Sunnyview Exposition Center during 2020 and 2021. The scope of the improvements included: • Addressing stormwater drainage issues throughout the grounds; • Engaging in numerous parking lot upgrades and expansions that also encompass installation of a lighting system; • A modification being made to the main entranceway that would employ use of a large centralized roundabout; • Installation of 2,500 linear feet of gravel road extending eastward into the 25-acre open field areas situated in the northeast section of the expo; and, • Performing campground upgrades including the addition of dozens of new campsites and improved electrical services throughout. Since last year's presentation a great deal has happened throughout society and the local community that has given the department pause to reassess the wisdom of engaging in what would, even under ordinary circumstances, be considered by County government standards a rather significant undertaking requiring a good portion of funding to complete. Given the new conditions that now apply, because it remains an unknown as to what effect the outcomes of the pandemic might eventually have on County finances, it has been decided that given the pressing timeline for addressing the upgrades needed to accommodate future horse shows and next year's Pyrotechnic Guild International (PGI) event, it would be prudent to scale down both the size and cost of the original Phase I Expo Grounds Improvements Project. In order to engage in this scaling down of the project, the Parks Department has determined that the campground facilities are the primary area of need in preparing the expo for the increasing number and size of horseshows being held, as well as the upcoming PGI event. Paqe 7 Although adjustments to drainage and retentions features will be included in the downsized project, the focus of the work will remain on the Parks Department's intent to expand campground areas and install new electrical services for both existing and new RV sites. To that end, the department has made modifications to the original materials presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission such that they now reflect only that portion of the project intended to improve the east campus area of the expo; the area used mainly for RV camping. In making this adjustment it must be noted that following the Planning and Zoning Commission's initial introduction to the improvements plan, other than revised cost estimates, no changes were introduced into the design plan of the east campus or the campground upgrades originally proposed (see attachments). As one final component of the Parks Department's goal in preparing the expo grounds to host next year's PGI event, the department must construct a 1100-foot long gravel roadway in a back portion of the newly purchased Netzer property. Said roadway is required in order to facilitate PGI's access into an isolated area that will meet the distancing standards set between fireworks displays and spectators. A summary of the elements to be included in the Parks Department's revised Phase I plans for expansion and improvement of the expo east campus includes the following: • Expansion of graveled RV/Trailer Camping Lots #3 and #4; • Reshaping of graveled RV/Trailer Camping Lot #2; • Install of perimeter lighting throughout; • Recontouring of drainageways and installation of storm sewer; • Installation of stormwater containment sites (ponds); • Construction of 24' wide X 1100' long access drive into Netzer area; and, • RV electrical services expansion and upgrades. If funding is approved for this project, the department would hope to perform some portion of the work yet in fall '20 and complete its efforts by mid-summer'21. Planning of improvements to be made to the west campus parking lot areas (Phase II) would not begin until late fall '21. In closing, I would appreciate your forwarding word of the aforementioned revision in the scope of the expo grounds improvement project on to members of the City of Oshkosh Planning and Zoning Commission and Common Council for their reference as they consider making the necessary change in designation of the expo property.
