TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark Lyons, Planning Services Manager
DATE: June 3, 2021
RE: Approve and Execute Relocation Order; Approve Determination of Necessity to
Acquire; 616 Grand Street
BACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh Department of Public Works is requesting approval to acquire the property
located at 616 Grand Street. The property will be utilized to improve storm water management
within the Parkway Avenue Watershed. The subject property is an irregular “L”-shaped lot with
frontages on Grand Street and E. Parkway Avenue. The lot is sized at approximately 0.29 acres
and is developed with a single-family house fronting on Grand Street with other accessory
structures. Per City Assessor’s records, the 1,300 square foot two-story house was constructed
prior to 1920 and is classified as a farmhouse style of construction.
The site is located in the recently created Historic Fourth Ward Neighborhood Association as
well as the Near East Neighborhood Area. The Near East Neighborhood Area was created in
2006 per recommendations from the 2005 Comprehensive Plan to improve neighborhood and
housing issues and was part of the Great Neighborhoods Program. 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.
ANALYSIS
In preparation of the reconstruction of E. 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
only location for the emergency overflow of the detention basin and most logical location for the
storm sewer inlet into the detention basin is at the property located at 616 Grant Street.
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us
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.
FISCAL IMPACT
The land acquisition will result in approximately .29 acres of land being removed from the tax
roll estimated at approximately $71,700.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the land acquisition as requested on May 18,
2021. Please see the attached staff report and meeting minutes for more information.

RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of the proposed property acquisition of 616 Grand Street as
requested.
The Plan Commission approved of the acquisition of 616 Grand Street as requested on May 18,
2021. The following is Plan Commission’s discussion on the item.
Site Inspections Report: Ms. Propp and Ms. Davey reported visiting the site.
Staff report accepted as part of the record.
Item IV – Property Acquisition – 616 Grand Street 3
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.
Mr. Nau presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land use
and zoning classifications in this area. In preparation of the reconstruction of E. 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. Staff recommends approval of the proposed
property acquisition of 616 Grand Street as requested.

Item IV – Property Acquisition – 616 Grand Street 4
Motion by Coulibaly to adopt the findings and recommendation as stated in the staff report.
Seconded by Kiefer.
Ms. Propp asked if there was any discussion on the motion.
Ms. Davey asked if the intention was to take down the house or if they just need to acquire the
rest of the property.
Mr. Gierach said they will need to take down the house because the large storm sewer from
Grand Street will be where it enters the basin itself as well as the emergency overflow of the basin
is out through this property though Grand Street.
Motion carried 8-0.

RE: Parkway Avenue Watershed – 616 Grand Street
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Poulter,
In 2015, East Parkway Avenue was reconstructed. In preparation for that reconstruction, 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 currently
owned by you at 616 Grant Street.
This letter is being sent to make you aware that the City is starting the acquisition process for this
property. The first step in that process is to approve the “Necessity to Acquire Land” through the City’s
Plan Commission and Common Council. You will be receiving notice of these meetings in the near
future. Assuming the Plan Commission and Common Council approve this first step, the City will retain
an Acquisition Specialist to assist in the completion of the acquisition process. After the Acquisition
Specialist is retained, you will receive another letter introducing you to that individual. After that, all
correspondence will work through the Acquisition Specialist.
If you have any questions or want more information, please contact me at (920)236-5065.
Sincerely,
Justin Gierach, P.E.
Engineering Division Manager / City Engineer
