Home My WebLink AboutItem V PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT OCTOBER 19, 2021 ITEM V: SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AMENDMENT FOR ROOFTOP ADDITION AT SOUTHWEST CORNER OF JACKSON STREET & MARION ROAD GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Merge, LLC / Merge Urban Development Property Owner: Mackson Corners Waterfront LLC Action(s) Requested: The applicant requests approval of a Specific Implementation Plan amendment to allow for a rooftop addition for a multi-family residential development located at Merge redevelopment site J, at the southwest corner of Jackson Street and Marion Road. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Type: The subject site is a 2.62 acre irregularly shaped vacant lot, located at the southwest corner of Jackson Street and Marion Road. The property is zoned Riverfront Mixed Use with a Planned Development Overlay and Riverfront Overlay (RMU-PD-RFO) and the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends City Center use for the subject site. The surrounding area consists primarily of commercial uses as well as a multi-family use to the west along with the Riverwalk and the Fox River to the south. On July 13, 2021, Common Council approved a General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan for a multi-family development at the subject site.

No changes are being proposed to the approved use of the site. Site Design The only proposed changes to the site are for a rooftop terrace with canopy and stair/elevator addition. There are no changes to the being proposed to the site layout as the additions will be entirely within the existing approved building footprint. The elevator/canopy additions will result in an increased building height of approximately 15’ to an overall height of 67’ 9”. Staff does not have concerns with the increased building height as there is no maximum building height in the RMU district and the overall height is well under the maximum airport zoning height of 165’. Approved Site Plan According to the applicant, the roof terrace is intended to provide a space with a view of the river for all tenants regardless of the location of their unit within the building. Lighting No changes have been proposed to exterior lighting plan for the site. ITEM V- SIP Amendment – SW Corner Jackson St./Marion Rd. 3 Signage This request does not include changes to signage for the site. Landscaping No changes have been made to the approved landscape plan. Storm Water Management No changes to the storm water management plan are being proposed. Building Facades The applicant had submitted revised elevations and noted that the proposed stair/elevator will match the exterior materials of the rest of the building (Ceraclad, black framed window systems) along with “wood-looking” slats for the shade pergola. Staff does not have concerns with the rooftop additions as the materials are consistent with the previously approved building design and will not negatively impact the appearance of the facades. ITEM V- SIP Amendment – SW Corner Jackson St./Marion Rd. 4 FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Planned Development district, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-387 (C)(6): (a) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the overall purpose and intent of this Chapter. (c) The proposed architecture and character of the proposed Planned Development project is compatible with adjacent/nearby development. (d) The proposed Planned Development project will positively contribute to and not detract from the physical appearance and functional arrangement of development in the area. Staff recommends approval of the Specific Implementation Plan amendment as proposed with the findings listed above and the following condition: 1. Except as specifically modified by this Specific Implementation Plan Amendment, the terms and conditions of the original Specific Implementation Plan dated July 13, 2021 remains in full force and effect. September 20, 2021 Oshkosh Plan Commission, I am writing on behalf of Merge Urban Development Group, to advocate for the addition of a roof terrace at the Mackson Corners Waterfront multifamily development on Site J (west of Jackson Street on the north side of the Fox River). During the SIP approval process, we stated that one of the reasons that we didn’t have a balcony for every unit that faced the river was that we would like to add a roof terrace that would be accessible to all residents of this building, whether their unit faced the river or not. We believe this amenity will not only increase the aesthetic appeal of the building but hope that it increases the feeling of community among the residents. I have included the revised elevations and roof plan showing this shaded roof terrace and extended stair and elevator. The materials will be the same as the rest of the building (Ceraclad Yakisugi cladding, black- framed window systems and wood-looking slats for the shade pergola). Please let me know if you have any questions.
