PARKWAY AVENUE AND E. IRVING AVENUE GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: City of Oshkosh-Department of Public Works Property Owners: Canadian National Railroad Action(s) Requested: The City of Oshkosh Department of Public Works is requesting approval to acquire a portion of the Canadian National (CN) property located between E. Parkway Avenue and E. Irving Avenue west of the north-south main line. The property will be utilized to improve storm water management within the Parkway Avenue Watershed. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: N/A Property Location and Background Information: The subject area is part of a long, narrow lot approximately 950 feet long by 115 feet wide and 1.99 acres in area. The lot is triple fronted, with frontages on E. Parkway Avenue to the south, E. Irving Avenue to the north and Broad Street to the east. The property is adjacent to CN main line just to the east. Historically, the lot never was developed as evidenced by an aerial image from 1937 (Image 1) and Sanborn maps dating to 1903. The portion of the property identified for acquisition is sized at 601.1 feet by 84.8 feet located along the rear lot lines of the residences along Grand Street. There is also a 5’5-foot wide by 173.1-foot deep strip which serves as a connection to E. Parkway Avenue. The total size of the acquisition is approximately 51,925 square feet or 1.19 acres. The site is located in the Near East Neighborhood Area created in 2006. The Near East Neighborhood Area was created per recommendations from the 2005 Comprehensive Plan to improve neighborhood and housing issues and was part of the Great Neighborhoods Program. Page 1 Item IV – Property Acquisition – 616 Grand Street 2 The surrounding area consists of a mix of uses with the Canadian National Main Line located east of the property, single family uses to north, south and west, and also a commercial use to the south. The 2040 Comprehensive plan identifies the area suitable for light density residential development.

Parkway Avenue in 2015, the Engineering Division developed a Storm Water Management Plan for the Parkway Avenue Watershed that included a detention basin along the Canadian National (CN) railroad on property owned by CN. Since that time, the City of Oshkosh (City) and CN have been negotiating to sell some CN property to the City for the construction of the detention basin. This detention basin is necessary to reduce flooding in the area and to help drain Grand Street. Grand Street is scheduled for full reconstruction after the detention basin is constructed. Given the topography of the area, the most logical location for the storm sewer inlet into the detention basin and the emergency overflow out from the detention basin is at the property located at 616 Grand Street. 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. Staff is of the opinion that the intended use of the property is not in conflict with the light density residential land use recommendation from the Comprehensive Plan. Storm water management facilities such as the one being proposed at this site is not unlike infrastructure needed for the development of new residential subdivisions. 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 property acquisition of 616 Grand Street as requested. Page 2 DALE STREET IRVING STREET PARKWAY AVE.
