Applicable Ordinance Provisions: N/A Property Location and Background Information: The subject site is located at 2240 Westowne Avenue and contains a Shell fuel station with car wash and a McDonald’s restaurant. The 2.88 acre property is irregular-shaped and triple-fronted with right-of-way access with Westowne Avenue, N. Koeller Street and Omro Road. The area proposed to be acquired is located on the east side of the property and consumes an existing storm water detention pond serving the development (Figure 1).

The area contains an existing storm water basin used to serve the Shell Station/McDonald’s site as well as ground signage. Just to the south is a city-owned storm water basin constructed when N. Washburn Street was realigned around 2007. It is the City’s intent to create a single larger basin by utilizing the two existing ponds. This will provide additional storm water management relief to the area. The Engineering Division is in the early stages of updating the city-wide Storm Water Management Plan. Construction of this basin will aid in the development of the plan and help determine future storm water mitigation needs in the area. This approval is the first step for the City to acquire this property. The City is required to follow the acquisition process as required by state statute. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the proposed partial land acquisition of 2240 Westowne Avenue as requested.

The acquisition of this property will approximately double the size of the existing City owned wet detention basin. The larger basin would increase flood protection and water quality improvements to a level that is in line with the City’s stormwater management goals. In 2015 the City of Oshkosh received a $94,000 construction grant to expand the City's wet basin. The grant should cover approximately half or the cost of engineering and construction of the expanded basin. The Westowne watershed is the 4th highest generator of pollutants (TSS/acre) in the City. The expanded basin will make a significant contribution toward the City reaching the pollutant reduction target mandated by the DNR through the City's MS4 Storm Water Permit by increasing the removal of pollutants (TSS) from 12 percent (with the existing basin) to 73 percent.
