GENERAL INFORMATION
Petitioner: City Administration & Habitat for Humanity
Owner: City of Oshkosh
Action Requested:
Land disposition of an approximate 39,500 square foot parcel of vacant land on the east side of
Grove Street, between Cleveland Avenue and Parkway Avenue.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
None
Property Location and Type:
The subject property is the former site of the Mercy Medical Center and Hospital. TIF 14 was
created in August 2002 on the site to promote the development of a mixed use commercial/
residential development. Most of the development has occurred on the site, but the frontage along
Grove Street was never undertaken. The City acquired the property from Winnebago County a few
years ago for non-payment of taxes.

ANALYSIS
Oshkosh Habitat for Humanity approached the City regarding acquiring the lot for construction of
affordable single family homes. Staff believes the development will continue to address the
community’s need for affordable housing while furthering neighborhood revitalization efforts in
Oshkosh. Staff believes this project proposal will provide many benefits including: create additional
affordable housing opportunities through home ownership, assist low-to-moderate income
individuals and/or families with asset development through home equity and leverage existing local
Item II – Land Disposition – 600 Block Grove St. 2
funding. The project is also consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the City’s Strategic
Plan.
The land area encompassed in this request is located on the entire east side of the 600 block of Grove
Street bordered by Cleveland Avenue on the north and Parkway Avenue on the south. The subject
area is a single parcel of land which has been vacant since the demolition of the former Mercy
Hospital generator/maintenance structure that had previously been on the center of the site.
The proposed development includes the construction of six single family affordable homes. Habitat
has provided a draft concept of what the development could look like. Community Development
staff will approve of final building elevations as each lot is developed. The proposal places the main
entry doors on the front, Grove Street façade, and includes front porches for each structure. The
proposed development is consistent with the neighborhood and other redevelopment projects
within the area.
It is believed the proposed land disposition and future redevelopment will not have an adverse
impact on the general health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding neighborhood. It is not
anticipated that the land disposition will increase or impede pedestrian and vehicle safety. There
are available public utilities which are able to service the proposed development and will not
generate unnecessary demand on the available services.
RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of the land disposition to Habitat for Humanity.
The Plan Commission approved of the land disposition as requested. The following is the Plan
Commission’s discussion on this item.
Site Inspections Report: Ms. Propp, Mr. Mitchell, and Mr. Ford reported visiting the site.
Staff report accepted as part of the record.
The applicants request the land disposition of an approximate 39,500 square foot parcel of vacant
land on the east side of Grove Street, between Cleveland Avenue and Parkway Avenue.
Ms. Brandt presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land use
and zoning classifications in this area. Oshkosh Habitat for Humanity approached the City

Item II – Land Disposition – 600 Block Grove St. 3
Ms. Propp opened technical questions to staff.
Mr. Ford asked if the community gardens would be able to remain there until construction begins.
Mr. Lyons replied that if approved, Habitat has already agreed that those community gardens could
remain through October 2021. He knows that Habitat has had some open discussions about
allowing them to continue as far as the development cycle would allow.
Mr. Mitchell asked if Ms. Brandt could talk a little bit about the neighborhood feedback or the
engagement of the neighborhood regarding this next section.
Ms. Brandt replied that the neighborhood association is not happy to be losing their community
garden area, but staff did offer to assist them in finding another location. Staff suggested
Menominee Park as an appropriate area because it is in close proximity to the neighborhood. They
also suggested possibly working with Bella Vista to place a community garden on some of their
property. The neighborhood association was interested in seeing the lot developed, but it’s been
vacant for so long. Nobody really likes to see development in their neighborhood if they’ve been
able to use that area, so that’s always a concern, but they were supportive of it to a degree.
Mr. Lyons added that staff did attend a neighborhood meeting in October 2019 to discuss
development of these properties.
Ms. Propp asked if there were any public comments.
Mr. Austin Frederick stated that he lives on the 600 block of Grove Street right across the street from
this lot and he is concerned about this. Part of him is excited to see a vacant lot developed, however
he is concerned about how this is just going to be turned into a low income subdivision, for lack of a
better term. Since the duplex has been put up, there has been increase of police activity on their
street. He knows he has had to contact police once and he believes a few of his neighbors have had
to call the police for some fighting and other activity going on at this development, so it’s a little
concerning to hear that there’s going to be six more for a total of eight low income houses put on
their block. That’s nothing against the people that are potentially going to be living there because
everybody does deserve the opportunity to own a home, but with that comes responsibility. He’s
lived in his home for seven years now and it’s a lot of work and a lot of money to maintain a home.
He knows a little bit about Habitat, but not as much as he should. He didn’t have enough time to
research how this all works, but he doesn’t know how maintenance works with the property. These
are low income families who may not have the means to maintain the properties. He’s seen
maintenance issues on the duplex that was built including siding that’s coming apart and one
resident doesn’t mow their lawn, so these are all things that are very concerning to him. He knows
this things are concerning to people in his neighborhood. He thinks a couple people on the block
have listed their homes because they’re worried about this. What’s concerning is the low income
part of this, the increased police activity they’ve had in the last few years from the duplex, and more
of a minor point, the loss of their community garden and green space, which he understands this is
an area to be developed to generate tax income for the city. He is wondering if it is excessive to have
this many Habitat homes on one block, essentially making it a low income block. If there were this
many sites on Washington Ave or another more prominent street, would eight Habitat homes be
Item II – Land Disposition – 600 Block Grove St. 4
going up? He is wondering if this will benefit the community and he is unsure. He is very concerned
about this and depending on how this goes, they might not be living on Grove Street anymore.
Ms. Amy Aschenbrenner stated that she is also resident of the 600 block of Grove Street. She would
like to understand more about how the homes will look because in the packet she received, they
appeared to have single car garages. She would like to have more detail about the look of the
housing units.
Mr. Tom Simon, the Executive Director of Habitat from Humanity, stated that they have built 39
homes in the City of Oshkosh. To those on Grove Street, he would like to note that several Habitat
homes already exist in their neighborhood. The situation with the twindo, they are working with the
owners and are meeting with them next week. They have been working with the City for quite some
time on Grove Street. This is something that will develop over time and not all at once. They are
single family homes and they are working right now on how to better integrate their families into
the neighborhood. The fact is they are building on Eastman Street right now and their program
director is walking door to door introducing the new homeowner to the neighbors. They have
worked with the City and the Rock the Block program. They are trying very hard to reach out to
neighborhood associations as the homes are built. They expect this will be a very attractive addition
and they will maintain the properties. In regards to the community garden, it will depend on which
lots the homeowners select. Homeowners build with them and do not have the homes given to
them. He believes there are other members of Plan Commission who are familiar and have
volunteered with Habitat and understand the program. They will be working really hard to make
sure the homeowners are welcomed and are an active part of the neighborhood association. They
will be single family homes, but a lot of how the actual homes will look depends on the size of the
family and many things that they will choose. It will be a good development for Oshkosh bringing
in a lot of people to the neighborhood. These are great solid families who will be an active part of
the neighborhood for years to come.
Mr. Mitchell stated that Mr. Frederick brought up some concerns about maybe behavior, or ability to
keep up a property, or to fit in maybe with the neighborhood expectations. He asked if Mr. Simon
could talk a little bit about the training and education the homeowners go through.
Mr. Simon replied that he took over as the Executive Director in November 2018. The twindos
occurred before he was part of the program. They are trying to copy a lot of what is done by Fox
Cities Habitat, which is a national leader. They are increasing the amount of homeowner education
with classes about being a good neighbor and maintaining a home. They are looking to integrate the
new homeowners into the neighborhood association so they are going to the meetings and being
active participants. They are doing more selection, more training, and working more with the
neighborhood associations. They realize that for their homeowners, they want to be part of the
neighborhood. They have to make that a mutual situation working back and forth between the
homeowner and the neighborhood association.
Ms. Propp asked what kind of role Habitat plays after the homeowner has purchased the home and
technically they’re independent. She asked if Habitat supervises or mentors or works with the
neighbors and the owners if there are problems after they’ve moved in and after they own it.
Item II – Land Disposition – 600 Block Grove St. 5
Mr. Simon replied that in the past the record was sometimes great and sometimes not so great. They
are working on that especially going forward and especially with this development because this is a
major thing for Habitat’s reputation as well. They have a strong obligation to work with the
neighborhood associations. With regard to the twindo, they’ve now been arranging meetings with
owners and they’re working hard with them to understand what it is to be a good neighbor. They
are also working with their board to go return to previous homeowners who they’ve worked with to
again reinforce the idea that homeownership is a responsibility and not just a right. Most people do
not realize that there are Habitat homes all over the City already with very few complaints. They see
this as an opportunity to educate people on Habitat and to get more great families into the
neighborhood.
Ms. Davey stated that having been a former employee of Habitat many years ago, she wanted to
address some of the concerns. There was mention of low income families, but she would
recommend checking into the Habitat philosophy a little bit. Families need to put in equity on their
own before they are able to purchase one. Having seen all of the applications as an employee,
something like 95% of them were because of an unplanned medical emergency, which could happen
to anyone. It doesn’t mean that they’re bad people. As far as the houses themselves go, Mr. Simon is
correct that there is another block in Oshkosh that is totally built up of Habitat homes and she
doubts very much that anyone would know where that is because it doesn’t look like a low income
area or anything of the kind. It was built back before Habitat was allowing building garages because
it started out as a southern organization that didn’t see the need for them. In the mid-80s, it was
explained to them quite clearly by one of the Oshkosh donors who donated money to put garages
on with the houses. It’s a very good organization, it’s a Christian organization. She doesn’t want it to
sound like that defines them, but it is a group of very good people and the volunteers are very
wonderful and considerate. She thinks the neighbors will want to be there and celebrate with them
to see the joy on their faces when they get into their new homes. She thinks the neighbors will find
that these are some of the best neighbors in the world. They work very hard to get a house and are
very dedicated. At least nine out of ten of the homeowners she has known have been exemplary. She
hopes that helps to alleviate some concerns and she thinks they will be pleasantly surprised.
Mr. Coulibaly stated that he agreed with Ms. Davey and that Mr. Simon has been doing a wonderful
job with Habitat in the Fox Valley and now in Oshkosh. He has only good things to say about
Habitat and the work they are providing for low income people in the area and the world. This is
something that the neighborhood could take pride in and the homeowners earn it. They put the
hours in and it is something that is a community effort. It is wonderful and sustainable way to
improve the community. He knows it often comes to people who are in need and he assumes
Habitat does a good job selecting people. He was wondering if there is some vetting or background
check during the selection process that could reassure the neighbors, not that he doubts the new
homeowners are going to be great because they will be coached as Mr. Simon said about taking care
of their place and having a good relationship with the neighbors. He is wondering if there is
something similar to a background check, whether formal or not, in the selection process.
Mr. Simon replied that these processes have always been part of the Habitat culture. He is recently
bringing down many of the Fox Cities processes. They have a family selection committee and there
is a set application period each time. There are background checks, credit checks, they look at
criminal background, and assess a variety of factors including their willingness to partner as well as
commitment to the neighborhood. They are really working more and more now to make sure that
Item II – Land Disposition – 600 Block Grove St. 6
people understand that this is an opportunity, especially with this location,. They have had
numerous people applying now for Habitat homeownership which has raised the quality of their
candidates over time. If they met the candidate who is currently finishing their house on Eastman,
they would be please because she is an incredible addition to the neighborhood and has been going
door to door and the neighbors really like her. This is an opportunity to bring more people who
really want this to be a great street into the neighborhood association. He really does think they can
make something that hopefully they can copy in other areas in Oshkosh moving forward. His final
comment is that he believes in the years to come, you will be able to drive down Grove Street and
not know that these are Habitat homes because they will fit into the neighborhood.
Mr. Frederick stated that he wanted to clarify his point. It is not an attack on Habitat. He thinks they
do great things. His father in-law has volunteered for them in Milwaukee. His main concern was the
excessive amount of homes on Grove Street and if that was going to be a problem. He asks the
commission when they cast their vote to think of it as though they’re voting for this in their own
neighborhood.
Ms. Propp closed public comments.
Motion by Mitchell to adopt the findings and recommendation as stated in the staff report.
Seconded by Coulibaly.
Ms. Propp asked if there was any discussion on the motion.
Mr. Mitchell stated that he wanted to acknowledge that the concerns brought forth by Mr. Frederick
are legitimate. The things he has experienced as a neighbor have caused frustration. Part of the
structure of this development moving forward may help with addressing those things, the twindo
project in particular. There’s no yard whatsoever there. Their life spills out into everyone else’s front
yard because there is no back yard, perhaps due to a lack of foresight in the planning of that project.
He sees that the layout of these homes as proposed has the front of the homes aligning with the
front of the twindo, which is very close to Grove Street, enabling a nice back yard and a place for
activity that isn’t spilling out into Mr. Frederick’s front yard. He did have some conversations with
Mr. Simon about the site and developments in general and he thinks one recommendation that he
would support is getting a specific list of concerns from neighbors and incorporating those into the
training that the participants go through. Their training exceeds ten hours of coursework related to
home ownership, excluding the 500 hours the family has to put into volunteering for the build or
related activities. He thinks that engaging the neighborhood association and the neighbors upfront
is something that is essential for a development like this and he is confident that Mr. Simon would
be eager to do that. He is himself a member of the Menominee South neighborhood association and
so while he does not live anywhere as close as Mr. Frederick, it is a development in his
neighborhood and he is very happy to see this. It addresses a gap in our community and provides
affordable home ownership opportunities for lower income families. It’s one of the very rare
avenues in which a low income family can develop long term wealth and Habitat homes are not
necessarily the end living site. It often allows the family to develop wealth so then they can move
into an unsubsidized standard market rate unit, which creates potentially another opportunity for
affordable housing and the cycle continues. He wants to say that the City’s willingness to provide
this land to Habitat speaks volumes for their confidence in the vision and capabilities and leadership
Item II – Land Disposition – 600 Block Grove St. 7
of Mr. Simon and Habitat. He wants to commend Ms. Brandt who has worked really hard on this
particular area.
Ms. Davey stated that she has already made it pretty clear how she feels about this project. She
thinks it is a great thing for Habitat and Grove Street, but she also wants to mention that it is very
sustainable. They do not have a lot of areas in Oshkosh for these projects. This is a perfect example
of using space that is already there instead of expanding more, so that’s part of the sustainability
plan and she appreciates that they’re fulfilling that. She wanted to say that she will definitely will be
voting yes for this because it’s a wonderful project.
Motion carried 8-0-1 (Perry present).

December 4, 2020
be subject to this Agreement, along with all easements, covenants and restrictions of record, City

Site Preparation Assistance. The City will provide Habitat with a no-interest loan in the amount
of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 dollars ($100,000.00) (Site Preparation Loan) per lot to
be utilized by Habitat for costs related to site preparation associated with constructing each
single family house on the Property. The Site Preparation Loan shall be used for
excavation/backfill costs, storm water management costs, landscaping, foundation, utility

(b) New Owner Down Payment Assistance. The City will provide a down payment
assistance loan (Down Payment Loan) in an amount of up to Ten Thousand and NO/100 dollars
($10,000.00) to each new low-income eligible family selected by Habitat as qualified

to the buyers and shall be secured with mortgage liens against each property, with the specific
terms of the loan and mortgage set forth in separate documents. The Down Payment Loans shall
be without interest or periodic payments, except that the loans shall be due and owning, and
repaid in full to the City in full at the time each initial low-income family purchaser conveys or
transfers some or all of the Property to any third party.
(c) Potential Unbuildable Lot. As described in paragraph 8, below, one or more of the
newly created parcels my result in which construction of any single family dwelling may not be
economically viable. For any such lot that after due diligence investigation results in a lot that is
not economically viable to build on, then the City will reimburse Habitat for its costs of due
diligence. Habitat will still agree to purchase the lot, but the cost of due diligence will be
deducted from the $15,000.00 agreed upon purchase price of the other lots, and the resulting
amount being the purchase price. If the due diligence costs exceed $15,000.00, then the
purchase price will be one dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration.
3. City Mortgages. The City anticipates the existence of at least two (2) mortgage liens that
will be held by the City and placed against the Property. Namely, mortgages associated with loans for
Site Preparation, and eventually New Owner Down Payment Assistance. There will also be other
mortgage liens placed against the Property by Habitat and others. It is the City’s expectation that the
first two mortgages, which will secure Building Construction and Site Preparation notes, will constitute
the initial liens on the Property and therefore will initially be in first and second “place” in terms of liens
on the Property. Upon completion of the Project and conveyance by Habitat to qualified buyers, the

shall be paid when due.
(c) The construction and maintenance of the Project will be in conformance and
compliance with, all applicable federal, state, local and other laws, rules, regulations and

and ordinances, all building codes and ordinances of the City, and all environmental laws, rules,

classification of all or any portion of the Property.
(h) All terms and requirements of the City’s loans shall be complied with.

parcel, provided such terms of use are consistent with and comply with all local, state, and
federal laws and regulations.
7. Stormwater Management. The Property must comply with storm water requirements as
identified in the Oshkosh Municipal Code, or other local, state, or federal rules, regulations, or laws.
These requirements shall remain in place regardless of whether this Agreement remains in effect. The
requirements may include a Storm Water Management Plan, grading and drainage plans, and operating
and maintenance agreements which will be available through the Oshkosh Department of Public Works.
A complete, current version of the storm water requirements will at all times be available through the
Department of Public Works, or through other documents recorded with the Winnebago County Register

8. Site / Environmental Issues. The Property is part of the former Mercy Medical Center
campus and, more specifically, is located near or on the location of Mercy’s boiler building which was
razed a number of years ago. The City believes that some or all of the foundation was collapsed into the
ground and as a result, may remain under some or all of the Property. The City has undertaken some
initial borings on the property to assess its condition. The City is unaware of any conditions on the
Property that would result in the applicability of environmental rules, regulations, and laws. The City
has shared with Habitat its findings regarding the property, and Habitat affirmatively states that it is
comfortable with its knowledge of the Property condition and accepts it in its condition upon
conveyance.
9. Damage; Destruction.

Habitat shall, at its cost and expense, rebuild, repair and replace the Project in the condition it

(b) If the Project is required to be rebuilt or repaired or replaced, then the Project
shall be rebuilt, repaired or replaced in accordance with plans and specifications prepared and
approved by the City for Habitat’s use. Habitat agrees to apply any necessary portion of the
insurance proceeds to rebuild, repair and replace the Project. The proceeds of insurance shall be
used for the replacement, rebuilding or repair of the Project. Any amount required in excess of
insurance proceeds for rebuilding, repair and/or replacement of the Project shall be paid by
Habitat.

insurance, or to pay any fees, assessments, charges or taxes arising with respect to the Project or to
comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other document, contract or agreement
effecting the Project, the City shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to effect such insurance or
pay such fees, assessments, charges or taxes or take such action as is necessary to remedy the failure of

event, the cost thereof shall be payable by Habitat to the City.

Property under the applicable special assessment laws, rules, regulations, ordinances and rates in effect
at the time said special assessments are assessed or levied.

restrictions within the deed and transfer documents at the time of conveyance to Habitat.

discrimination or restriction on the basis of race, creed, ethnic origin or identity, color, gender, religion,
marital status, age, handicap or national origin, and Habitat shall construct and operate the Project in
compliance with all laws, rules, regulations and ordinances relating to discrimination or any of the
foregoing.

default of this Agreement:

by any kind by the City, the City may, at its option, pursue any one or more of the following remedies
concurrently or successively:

describes their respective obligations to perform the tasks described in this Development
Agreement and to thereafter receive the benefits for performing these tasks. The City remains
only interested in the appropriate and lawful use of public funds, the development of the
Property, and the timely completion of the Project. Therefore, the Parties agree that Habitat is
responsible to the City for all terms, conditions, warranties, and covenants described herein,
regardless of whether any description uses the connector “and,” “or,” or “and/or.” The City may
take any enforcement action against either or both at its sole discretion.
(c) Except as may be otherwise specifically set forth herein, no remedy herein

December 4, 2020
instruments, and/or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No failure or delay on the part
of the City in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any

any other right or remedy. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing authorizations, the City shall
have no duty or obligation whatsoever with respect to any of the matters so authorized.
16. Liability.
(a) No Personal Liability. Under no circumstances shall any council member,
official, director, attorney, employee, or agent of a party have any personal liability arising out of
this Agreement, and no party shall seek or claim any such personal liability.
(b) Indemnification. While the City is providing funding through loans and other
support for the Project, it remains a Habitat project and Habitat is responsible for the Property
and activities related to the Property and Project after the City conveys it to Habitat. Therefore,
Habitat covenants and agrees to protect and hold the City of Oshkosh harmless against all
actions, claims, and demands which may result from the intentional or negligent actions of
Habitat, its partners, agents, and assigns, its employees, volunteers, contractors, or subcontractors
related however remotely to the performance of this Agreement or be caused or result from any
violation of any law or administrative regulation and shall indemnify and reimburse to the City
all sums, including court costs, attorneys fees, and punitive damages which the City may be
