Dear Mr. Reib,
The Oshkosh Landmarks Commission is registering a statement regarding the placement of cell
phone towers and antennae near a historic district. Our mission is to safeguard the historic
integrity of the built structures and districts of Oshkosh and we respectfully submit our
explanation:
The Landmarks Commission reviewed the proposed antenna upgrades at the August 11th
Landmarks meeting. The Landmarks Commission considered the small physical size (11” long
by 8” wide by 4” deep) and proposed placement on the building. Due to the small size and
proposed placement of the new antennas, the Commission found that the proposed upgrades will
not have a substantial detrimental impact on any historic districts or structures. Therefore, the
Landmarks Commission does not object to the upgrades as proposed.
Please do not hesitate to contact Steven Wiley, City Staff Liaison to the Landmarks Commission
at 920.236.5062 if you have any questions or concerns regarding this letter.
Respectfully,
Shirley Brabender Mattox Steven D. Wiley, AICP
City of Oshkosh Landmarks Commission Staff Liaison, Planning Department
