STORAGE AREA AT 2676 S. OAKWOOD ROAD
INITIATED BY: MUZA SHEET METAL CO. LLC
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approved
WHEREAS, the Plan Commission finds that the Conditional Use Permit to allow
an outdoor storage area at 2676 S. Oakwood Road, is consistent with the criteria
established in Section 30-382(F)(3) of the Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of
Oshkosh that a conditional use permit is hereby approved to allow an outdoor storage
area at 2676 S. Oakwood Road, per the attached.
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark Lyons
Planning Services Manager
DATE: May 21, 2020
RE: Approve Conditional Use Permit for an Outdoor Storage Area at 2676 S.
Oakwood Road (Plan Commission Recommends Approval)
BACKGROUND
The 16.49 acre site is located off of S. Oakwood Road and Badger Avenue and is accessed via an
entrance/exit from S. Oakwood Road. The site contains a 71,150 square foot industrial building
and associated parking area. It previously served as a Dynamic Drinkware facility. The Muza
Sheet Metal Company now plans to operate the property as a contractor office, shop and outdoor
storage area. The property is located within the Southwest Industrial Park and the surrounding
area consists predominately of industrial uses. The site currently consists of three adjacent
parcels which the owner will combine into a single parcel. Muza Sheet Metal Co. plans to
relocate its existing business from the current locations at 51 W. Fernau Avenue and 3200 N.
Main Street to the subject site at 2676 S. Oakwood Road.
ANALYSIS
The petitioner is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to create an outdoor
storage area on the subject parcel. Muza intends to create a secure, fenced -in area for the storage
of raw materials used for the production of sheet steel products. The storage area will also house
Muza's vehicle fleet. The storage area as proposed will include approximately 2.06 acres of
paved area. Muza also plans to add approximately 90 parking spaces to accommodate employee
parking. Muza will not make any changes to the existing building's footprint at this time. The
petitioner has stated in the narrative that the materials stored in the proposed outdoor storage
area will not be hazardous materials. Activities that occur outdoors would be limited to
shipping and receiving and everyday business and maintenance activities.
The owner must completely enclose all outdoor storage areas with an 8' tall solid fence per
ordinance. Staff recommends that a condition of approval be that the applicant submit fencing
specifications/details for Department of Community Development review during the Site Plan
Review process. Muza will add a second access drive leading into the site from Badger Avenue
to the north. Staff has examined the parking figures provided by the petitioner and the parking
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://w .ci.oshkosh.wi.us
counts appear to meet code. Additional landscaping is required for the expansions of the
outdoor storage areas as part of this CUP request. Staff reviewed the landscaping plan and
found that the petitioner has proposed street frontage and paved area landscaping. Staff
informed the petitioner that he will have to revise the landscaping plan and add or account for
the required number of yard landscaping points based on the amount of outdoor storage area
proposed for the site. Staff recommends a condition requiring a revised, code compliant
landscaping plan for Department of Community Development review during the Site Plan
Review process. The new outdoor storage area will not require additional lighting for that area.
The new parking lot and access drive from Badger Avenue will have to meet lighting standards
as detailed in the zoning ordinance and staff will require a code -compliant photometric plan as
part of the Site Plan Review process. Since the petitioner is adding areas of impervious surfacing
to the site the Department of Public Works will require a full storm water review through the
Site Plan Review process.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this project should result in an increase in assessed property value for the site and
should require no additional city service provision. The owner is anticipating spending
approximately $1.2 million on the improvements.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of a Conditional Use Permit with findings and
conditions at its May 19, 2020 meeting. Please see the attached staff report and meeting minutes
for more information.

ITEM: PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR AN
OUTDOOR STORAGE AREA AT 2676 S. OAKWOOD ROAD
Plan Commission meeting of May 19, 2020
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: McMahon Associates, Inc.
Owner: Muza Sheet Metal Co., LLC.
Action(s) Requested:
The petitioner requests a conditional use permit for an outdoor storage area at 2676 S. Oakwood
Road.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
Outdoor Storage land uses are permitted only through a conditional use permit in the Heavy
Industrial District (HI) as regulated in Section 30-62 (C) of the Zoning Ordinance. Criteria used
for Conditional Use Permits are located in Section 30-382 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Property Location and Background Information:
2018 aerial image of the subject site (outlined in red)
The 718,354 sq. ft. (16.49 acre) site is located off of S. Oakwood Road and Badger Avenue and is
accessed via an entrance/exit from S. Oakwood Road. The site contains a 71,150 square foot
industrial building and associated parking area. It previously served as a Dynamic Drinkware
facility. The Muza Sheet Metal Company now plans to operate the property as a contractor
office, shop and outdoor storage area. The property is located within the Southwest Industrial
Park and the surrounding area consists predominately of industrial uses. The site currently
consists of three adjacent parcels which the owner will combine into a single parcel.
Muza Sheet Metal Co. plans to relocate its existing business from the current locations at 51 W.
Fernau Avenue and 3200 N. Main Street to the subject site at 2676 S. Oakwood Road. Muza will
remodel the existing building to accommodate its operations. Muza does not currently have
plans to add onto the building. They plan to add an outdoor storage area to the east of the
existing building. Muza will use this area to store different types of raw materials used in the
production of sheet metal products. The storage area will also accommodate the parking of
their various fleet vehicles used for the delivery and installation of their sheet metal products.
The combined subject site will house Muza's office operations, the production and storage of
sheet metal products, and the hub of Muza's sheet metal installation operations including the
storage of Muza's vehicle fleet. The office and industrial land uses are compatible and
consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan land use recommendation and with the HI zoning
for the area. The outdoor storage land use requires a Conditional Use Permit.

Item - CUP/Outdoor Storage - 2676 S. Oakwood Rd. 2
The above plan shows the outline of the proposed subject site. The existing building is located on the
southwest portion of the site and the outdoor storage area to the east of the building. Additional parking
is proposed to the north of the existing parking.
ANALYSIS
The petitioner is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to create an outdoor
storage area on the subject parcel (see plan above). The scope of work proposed for the site
includes the following:
• Combination of three existing adjacent parcels into a single parcel as outlined above
• Remodel of the existing industrial building to suit Muza's needs
• Creation of an approximately 89,539 sq. ft. outdoor storage area to the east of the
building
• Creation of 90 additional stalls of surface parking to the north of the existing parking
• Creation of an access drive from Badger Avenue to the north
• Creation of a new detention pond to the north of the proposed storage area
Item - CUP/Outdoor Storage - 2676 S. Oakwood Rd.
Muza intends to create a secure, fenced -in area for the storage of raw materials used for the
production of sheet steel products. The storage area will also house Muza's vehicle fleet. The
storage area as proposed will include approximately 89,539 sq. ft. (2.06 acres) of paved area.
Outdoor storage areas exceeding 500 sq. ft. in area require a CUP. Muza plans to add
approximately 90 parking spaces to accommodate employee parking. The impervious surface
additions proposed for the site are as follows:
NEW IMPERVIOUS AREA - OAKWOOD SITE
New paved storage lot
89,539 sq. ft.
Additional employee parking
27,212 sq. ft.
New access drive
26,983 sq. ft.
Total New Impervious Area
143,734 sq. ft.
The storage lot expansions and new parking lot will increase the amount of impervious surface
area on the site to approximately 20% of the lot area. The proposed impervious surface
coverage falls below the 70% maximum impervious surface ratio permitted by the zoning
ordinance for Heavy Industrial zoned parcels. The proposed impervious surface ratio also falls
below the 60% maximum impervious ratio permitted under the Industrial Park Covenants.
Muza will not make any changes to the existing building's footprint at this time.
The petitioner has stated in the narrative that accompanied the CUP application that the
materials stored in the proposed outdoor storage area will not be hazardous materials. The
outdoor storage area will not have an impact on vehicle or pedestrian circulation within the site.
Manufacturing at the S. Oakwood Road facility would occur indoors. Activities that occur
outdoors would be limited to shipping and receiving and everyday business and maintenance
activities. The industrial park where the facility is located contains trucking/freight companies
and manufacturing facilities with similar hours of operation to the Muza facility. The noise
produced at the Muza site will not be atypical of other uses within the industrial park and will
not result in abnormal noise pollution.
Screenine
The owner must completely enclose all outdoor storage areas with an 8' tall solid fence per
ordinance. The applicant has not yet submitted fencing specifications or details. The current
site plan shows fencing around the storage areas and it appears that the petitioner will fence off
the storage areas completely from access/vehicle parking areas. Outdoor storage areas must be
completely fenced off and separate from access and parking areas. The intent is to avoid
"spillover" and storage of materials in areas not originally designated and approved as outdoor
storage. Staff recommends that a condition of approval be that the applicant submit fencing
specifications/details for Department of Community Development review during the Site Plan
Review process.
Access/Traffic/Vehicle Circulation
The enclosed storage areas should not greatly affect vehicle circulation for the publically-
accessed areas of the site as the storage areas do not obstruct access to the existing parking
areas. Muza will add a second access drive leading into the site from Badger Avenue to the
Item - CUP/Outdoor Storage - 2676 S. Oakwood Rd. 4
north. The location of the S. Oakwood Road access drive will stay the same and Muza does not
have plans to alter this access drive. Muza will add for employees 90 surface parking stalls to
the north of the existing on -site parking. Staff has examined the parking figures provided by
the petitioner and the parking counts appear to meet code (see below).

Paved area and street frontage landscaping proposed by the petitioner (above).
Item — CUP/Outdoor Storage — 2676 S. Oakwood Rd 5
Overall site landscaping plan submitted by the petitioner: currently the plan shows paved area and street
frontage landscaping. Yard landscaping will also be required.
Additional landscaping is required for the expansions of the outdoor storage areas as part of
this CUP request (see table below). Outdoor storage spaces are not subject to the same paved
area landscaping standards required of new and reconstructed parking areas. However, the
addition of outdoor storage area on the site is considered an addition to the site under the
Landscaping Requirements in the zoning ordinance. For every 1,000 square feet of building or
impervious surface area added, the petitioner must add 10 points of yard landscaping to a
Heavy Industrial -zoned site. With the addition of the 90 parking spaces off of the S. Oakwood
street frontage, additional street frontage landscaping is required. The proposed parking
addition will require landscaping islands and applicable paved area landscaping. The
Item - CUP/Outdoor Storage - 2676 S. Oakwood Rd. 6
petitioner submitted a landscaping plan for the parking area as part of the CUP application.
Staff reviewed the original landscaping plan and found that the petitioner has proposed street
frontage and paved area landscaping. Staff informed the petitioner that he will have to revise
the landscaping plan and add or account for the required number of yard landscaping points
based on the amount of outdoor storage area proposed for the site. Landscaping point totals
must meet the minimums prescribed in the ordinance for paved area, street frontage and yard
landscaping. Staff recommends a condition requiring a revised, code compliant landscaping
plan for Department of Community Development review during the Site Plan Review process.
2676 S. OAKWOOD LANDSCAPING CALCULATIONS
Building Foundations - No Additional Landscaping Required
Paved Areas - 30 Points per 10 stalls or 10,000 sq. ft.
90 spaces/10 x 30 points = 270 Points
Paved Area Points to be placed within 10' of paving
30% of points to be medium or tall trees = 81 points
40% of points to be shrubs = 108 points
Island Plantings - 2 medium trees or 1 tall deciduous tree for
each island
Street Frontages - 30 points per 100 linear feet of street frontage
147 linear feet/100 = 1.47 1.47 x 30 = 44.1 points
Yards - 10 points per 1,000 sq. ft. of buildings/storage area
proposed for the lot (89,539 sq. ft. /1000 = 89.5 x 10 = 895
points)
Bufferyards - None required
Lighting
The new outdoor storage area will not require additional lighting for that area. The new
parking lot and access drive from Badger Avenue to the north will have to meet lighting
standards as detailed in the zoning ordinance and staff will require a code -compliant
photometric plan as part of the Site Plan Review process.
Signage
No sign plans were submitted and the petitioner is not proposing any changes to the on -site
signage.
Building Facades
No changes are proposed to the existing building facades as part of this Conditional Use Permit.
Storm Water Management/Utilities
The petitioner has not submitted erosion and grading plans. Since the petitioner is planning to
add significant areas of impervious surfacing to the site the Department of Public Works will
require a full storm water review through the Site Plan Review process. The petitioner has
stated that the scope of work will include the construction of storm water management devices
to treat storm water runoff for sediment and phosphorus runoff. The storm water management
devices installed as part of the project will treat the runoff from the outdoor storage use.
Item - CUP/Outdoor Storage - 2676 S. Oakwood Rd.
Conclusion
Staff is in support of the proposed outdoor storage areas as the use should not be detrimental to
the surrounding area, provided that the storage area will not significantly alter any access
drives or traffic patterns around the site and is screened per code requirements.
RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Conditional
Use Permit, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the
criteria established by Chapter 30-382 (17)(3):
(1) Is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
(2) Would not result in a substantial or undue adverse impact on nearby property, the
character of the neighborhood, environmental factors, traffic factors, parking, public
improvements, public property or rights -of -way, or other matters affecting the public
health, safety, or general welfare.
(3) Maintains the desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use
impacts as related to the environs of the subject property.
(4) The conditional use is located in an area that will be adequately served by, and will not
impose an undue burden on, any of the improvements, facilities, utilities or services
provided by public or private agencies serving the subject property.
(5) The potential public benefits outweigh any potential adverse impacts of the proposed
conditional use, after taking into consideration the applicant's proposal and any
requirements recommended by the applicant to ameliorate such impacts.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit for an outdoor storage area
at 2676 S. Oakwood Road with the findings listed above and the following conditions:
1. All outdoor storage areas must be completely enclosed by 8 foot tall solid (at least 90%
opaque) fencing. Owner/Applicant shall submit fencing specifications/details to staff for

Conditional Use Permit Application for Muza Sheet Metal Co., LLC.
Narrative of the proposed conditional use and project:
Muza Sheet Metal Company is a business that specializes in the production and installation of sheet
metal products used primarily in the building construction industry. Muza Sheet Metal Company is
currently located at 51 W. Fernau Avenue and 3200 N. Main Street in the City of Oshkosh.
Muza Sheet Metal Company (Muza) has recently purchased the former Dynamic Drinkware facility
located at 2676 S. Oakwood Road, parcel 1329100000, and is planning to relocate their existing business
to this location. Prior to the relocation, Muza will be remodeling/retrofitting the existing 71,150 S.F.
building to make building modifications required for their operations. Muza will not be adding on to
the existing building at this time. In addition to required building modifications, Muza also needs to add
additional employee parking spaces and an area for additional outdoor storage. To accommodate these
additional outdoor areas, Muza has purchased two parcels that are adjacent to parcel 132910000,
parcels 1329100102 and 1329100200. Muza will be requesting that the three parcels be combined
through the City's "Request to Combine Tax Parcels". Please refer to the included preliminary site plan
which depicts the existing improvements on parcel 1329100000 as well as the proposed site
improvements on all three parcels.
The purpose of this Conditional Use Permit Application is to address the City's limitations on outdoor
storage areas that are accessory to the principal land use. As part of the proposed project Muza is
proposing to construct an outdoor storage area that will exceed 500 square feet. The proposed outdoor
storage area will be for the storage of different types of raw materials that Muza uses in their
production of sheet metal products. In addition to the storage of these materials, Muza will also require
an outdoor storage area for the parking of their various fleet vehicles used for the delivery and
installation of their sheet metal products.
The three parcels that Muza has purchased are currently zoned Heavy Industrial and are surrounded by
parcels that are also zoned Heavy Industrial. The former Dynamic Drinkware facility (parcel
1329100000) is currently vacant/idle. The two additional parcels that Muza purchased, parcels
1329100102 and 1329100200, are undeveloped parcels. Parcel 1329100102 is currently used for
agricultural crop farming and parcel 1329100200 is currently wooded idle land. The proposed use for
the three parcels will be for Muza's office operations, the production and storage of sheet metal
products, and the hub for Muza's sheet metal installation operations including the storage of Muza's
fleet of vehicles. Muza's proposed use on the three parcels is, in our opinion, compatible with uses on
adjacent properties and other properties in the area. The existing land uses are all heavy industrial uses
and consist of, facility for the distribution and service of electrical motors, door manufacturing facility,
freight handling and trucking facility, beverage distribution/warehousing facility, heavy truck
manufacturing facility, and several metal fabrication businesses.
The proposed use will not be a significant generator of traffic within the industrial park. Muza employs a
total of approximately 100 people all of which will travel to and from the facility daily. Traffic that will be
generated by the facility will include daily employee commutes to and from the facility, incoming daily
deliveries of raw metal product, outgoing shipments of product and trips of fleet vehicles traveling to
and from off -site job sites. The number of trips that are anticipated are as follows:
• Trips for 100 employees traveling to/from the facility = 200 trips per day
• Trips for the delivery of raw materials = 4 trips (2 incoming shipments a day)
• Trips for the shipment of product = 16 trips (8 outgoing shipments a day)
• Trips for employees traveling to/from construction sites = 80 trips per day (40 vehicles)
Briefly Explain how the proposed conditional use will not have a negative effect on the issues below.
1. Health, safety, and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands.
The proposed conditional use is for an outdoor storage area that exceeds 500 square feet.
Muza Sheet Metal Company is proposing an outdoor storage area that is larger than 500 square
feet for the storage of raw metal materials that are used in their production of sheet metal. The
approximate area of the proposed storage area is 10,800 SF. The materials that will stored
within the outdoor storage area will not be hazardous materials. The proposed conditional use
will not have a negative effect on the health, safety and general welfare of the occupants of
surrounding lands.
2. Pedestrian and vehicular circulation and safety.
The proposed conditional use is for an outdoor storage area that exceeds 500 square feet. The
proposed outdoor storage area will be in a secure fenced in area located in the rear yard area of
the existing building. The outdoor storage area will have no impact on the amount of vehicular
traffic and will have no effect on vehicular circulation and safety. The industrial park that the
subject parcels are located within does not have provisions for pedestrians, i.e. sidewalks or
trails. The outdoor storage area will have no impact pedestrian circulation and safety.
3. Noise, air, water, or other forms of environmental pollution.
The proposed conditional use is for an outdoor storage area that exceeds 500 square feet. The
conditional use will not have a negative effect on noise. Muza Sheet Metal's hours of operation
are between the hours of 5:30am and 10:00pm Monday through Friday.
• The office hours are from 7:00am to 3:30pm.
• The first shift of the production area is from 7:00am to 3:30pm
• The second shift of the production area is from 5:00pm to 10:00pm.
• Employees that work at off -site job sites will arrive at Muza at 5:30am and leave to job
sites shortly thereafter. These employees will return to Muza at 5:00pm.
Manufacturing at the proposed Muza facility will occur indoors. Activities that occur outdoors
will be limited to shipping and receiving and everyday business and maintenance activities. The
proposed use is in an industrial park and heavy industrial zoning district. The industrial park
contains trucking/freight companies and manufacturing facilities that have similar hours of
operation. The noise that will be produced from the proposed use will not be atypical of other
uses within the industrial park and will not result in abnormal noise pollution.
The proposed conditional use is for an outdoor storage area and will not contribute to air or
groundwater pollution. The proposed use is the relocation of an existing business into an
existing building. The relocation of the business and the construction of the new parking lots
and storage area outlined earlier will not contribute to additional air or groundwater pollution.
The proposed project will include the construction of stormwater management devices to treat
stormwater runoff for sediment and phosphorous runoff. Runoff from the outdoor storage area
will be treated by the stormwater management devices. Therefore, the proposed conditional
use will not contribute to surface water pollution.
4. The demand for and availability of public services and facilities.
The proposed conditional use is for an outdoor storage area that exceeds 500 square feet. The
larger outdoor storage area, anticipated to be approximately 10,800 SF, will have no effect on
the demand for and availability of public services and facilities.
5. Character and future development of the area.
The proposed conditional use is for an outdoor storage area that exceeds 500 square feet. The
proposed conditional use is located within an industrial park and is surrounded by parcels that
are zoned heavy industrial and that have uses that are compatible with Muza's proposed use.
Several of the businesses that are located within the industrial park have large outdoor storage
areas for the storage of their materials. The proposed conditional use will not have a negative
effect on the character and future development of the area.
