DATE: May 13, 2020
SUBJECT: May 20, 2020 RDA Agenda items
20-13 Approve Spot Blight Designation; Approve Acquisition of Property at 1014
Wisconsin Street ($37,000)
Background
The City has been pursuing repair orders on this property and the property was
presented as a possible acquisition and raze project. Code Enforcement has identified
numerous code violations and property is currently vacant.
Analysis
The current owner purchased the property with city repair orders on it. There is no
tenant and the parcel is surrounded by college rentals. The current owner approached
City staff with an interest in selling the property to the City for $80,000. The fair market
value of the property is $94,700. The condition of the structure no longer supports that
value. City staff has completed a field inspection and recommends acquisition and
eventual demolition. City staff settled on $37,000 for the purchase price. The long term
plan for the property would be to land bank the property for the future redevelopment as
a possible Oshkosh Housing Authority project designed for homeless college students.
Fiscal Impact
The RDA/City would use a portion of the CDBG central city blight elimination funds for
acquisition ($37,000) and demolition (estimated up to $10,000). If the site is not acquired,
the City will pursue a court order to raze the structure with City funds, and the owner
would continue to own the lot. The City could be reimbursed for the demolition costs by
a future lot buyer. On -going maintenance of the parcel would cost about $500/year for
grass cutting/snow removal.
Recommendation
The RDA approves the Spot Blight Designation and Approves the Acquisition of 1014
Wisconsin Street for $37,000.
