TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark Lyons, Planning Services Manager
DATE: October 21, 2021
RE: Approve Specific Implementation Plan Amendment for Signage at 1212 South
Main Street
BACKGROUND
The petitioner requests an amendment to the Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) approval for
signage modifications at 1212 South Main Street. On January 24, 2017, the Common Council
approved a Planned Development for the existing 3,500 seat mixed-use arena/event complex.
Various revisions to the approved SIP were approved by Common Council on August 22, 2017,
which included changes in the façade, signage, parking lot, pedestrian access, and lighting. An
SIP amendment was approved by Common Council on November 14, 2017 for signage at the
arena site.
The 7.74 acre development area includes the Oshkosh Arena and associated parking area located
along South Main Street between East South Park Avenue and East 11th Avenue. The
surrounding area contains a mix of industrial, commercial, and residential uses as well as
railroad right-of-way and Pioneer Marina to the east. The subject site is located near the southern
portion of the area identified as the “Sawdust District”.
ANALYSIS
Revised signage plans have been submitted which include removal of existing signage and
installation of new wall/window signage. Signage to be removed includes the “Menominee
Nation Area” wall signage and monument signage as well as the “Menominee Casino Resort”
and “Maple Pub” wall signage. According to the applicant, the sign revisions are needed as Fox
Valley Pro Basketball is pursuing a naming rights partner. The existing signage will be removed
and new signage will be displayed reflecting the temporary stadium name of Oshkosh Arena
until a naming rights sponsor is secured along with signage for current sponsorships.
The SIP Amendment approved on November 14, 2017 included a base standard modification
(BSM) to allow a total of 1,580 sq. ft. of sign area on the west façade. The proposed signage
revisions to the west façade are for vinyl window graphics and will result in an overall reduction
of 354 sq. ft. of wall signage versus what was previously approved. A revision to the previously
approved BSM for increased west façade signage area will be required. The applicant has noted
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us
that the proposed larger size of the “Oshkosh Arena” sign is necessary to provide increased
visibility as the sign is not illuminated.
The additional window graphic signage area on the north elevation will result in the wall
signage area exceeding the maximum (295 sq. ft.). A Base Standard Modification will be required
for the additional signage on the north elevation. The applicant has stated in their narrative that
the increased sign area allotment is needed to provide flexibility for changes in sponsorships.
The proposed signage revisions will result in an overall decrease in signage for the site of about
4%, compared to what was previously approved. As the proposed signage will be covering
existing window areas of the building, the approved architectural design of the building will be
impacted.
During the Plan Commission hearing the applicant indicated that “Oshkosh Arena” sign will
be removed when a future arena naming right agreement is finalized. Given that information,
the Plan Commission recommended a fourth condition be added granting the applicant the
ability to replace the former 166 sq. ft. “Menominee Nation Area” sign with a new wall sign
when the vinyl “Oshkosh Arena” sign is removed.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the Specific Implementation Plan Amendment
on October 19, 2021. Please see the attached staff report and meeting minutes for more
information.

Owners: Fox Valley Pro Basketball, Inc.
Action(s) Requested:
The petitioner requests an amendment to the Specific Implementation Plan approval for signage
modifications at 1212 South Main Street.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Background Information Property Location and Type:
On January 24, 2017, the Common Council approved a Planned Development for the existing

ANALYSIS
Use
No changes are being proposed to the existing arena land use.
Site Design & Access/Parking
No changes are proposed to the site design, access, or parking.
Lighting
No changes are proposed to the lighting plan.
Signage
A revised signage plan has been submitted. The revisions include removal of existing signage
and installation of new wall/window signage.
Signage to be removed includes the “Menominee Nation Area” wall signage and monument
signage as well as “Menominee Casino Resort” and “Maple Pub” wall signage. This will result in
a removal of 166 sq. ft. of wall signage on the west façade, 122.5 sq. ft. on the north façade, and
78.6 sq. ft. of ground signage (39.3 sq. ft. per monument sign side).
Proposed new signage includes the following:
- Oshkosh Arena logo (west elevation): 11’ ¾” X 39’ 6”
- (2) Dr. Pepper logos (west elevation): 4’ 7 ½” X 5’ 8 ½”
- Dr. Pepper logo (west elevation): 6’ X 4’ 3/16”
- “1212 Sports Pub and Grill” (north elevation): 21’ X 22’ 1”

West elevation 1,580 sq. ft. 1,226 sq. ft.
Ground Signage 308 sq. ft. 229.4 sq. ft.
Total 2,159.5 sq. ft. 2,066.4 sq. ft.
According to the applicant, the sign revisions are needed as Fox Valley Pro Basketball is pursuing
a naming rights partner. The existing signage will be removed and signage displayed reflecting
the temporary stadium name (Oshkosh Arena) until a naming rights sponsor is secured along
with signage for current sponsorships. The applicant also notes that the proposed signage will be
vinyl-based window graphics which enable more flexibility for short-term deals with sponsors as
the graphics are easier to install than three-dimensional block, framed, and illuminated signage.
Window graphics would typically be considered a separate signage type from on-building
signage and limited to 33% of individual window pane area. As the proposed window graphics
will exceed this maximum, staff is contributing this signage area toward the overall wall signage
allotment.
The November 14, 2017 SIP Amendment included a BSM to allow a total of 1,580 sq. ft. of sign
area on the west facade. This included a 700 sq. ft. video message display, 702 sq. ft. painted “The
Herd” logo, 166 sq. ft. main wall identification sign, 5.6 sq. ft. fan entrance sign and a 4.5 sq. ft.
ticket booth sign. The 702 sq. ft. Herd logo was never installed and the applicant has noted that
they are willing to remove this sign from the approved plans to accommodate the proposed
signage. The proposed removal and addition of signage area on the west facade will result in an
overall reduction of 354 sq. ft. of wall signage versus what had been approved. A revision to the
previously approved BSM for increased west façade signage area will be required. The applicant
has noted that the proposed larger size of the “Oshkosh Arena” sign is necessary to provide
increased visibility as the sign is not illuminated.
The additional signage area on the north elevation will result in the wall signage area exceeding
the maximum of 1 sq. ft. per linear foot of frontage (295 sq. ft.). A Base Standard Modification will
be required for the additional signage on the north elevation. The applicant has stated in their
narrative that the increased sign area allotment is needed to provide flexibility for changes in
sponsorships.
The proposed signage removal and additions will result in an overall decrease in signage for the
site of about 4%, compared to what was previously approved. As the proposed signage will be
covering existing window areas of the building, the approved architectural design of the building
will be impacted. Staff did discuss with the application the possibility of reducing the size of the
Oshkosh Arena sign, the applicant decided to move forward with their original proposal.
5
The applicant is requesting modification of an existing BSM for signage on the west façade and
new BSM for increased signage on the north facade. The applicant has not included any site
improvements to “offset” the requested base standard modifications. Staff is recommending that
Plan Commission make the determination on whether or not the proposed signage modifications
are appropriate for the site.
Landscaping
No changes are proposed to the landscaping for the site.
Stormwater Management
No changes are proposed to the stormwater management plan.
Building
No changes are proposed to the existing building.
RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS

The Plan Commission recommended approval of the Specific Implementation Plan
Amendment with conditions on October 19, 2021. The following is Plan Commission’s
discussion on the item.
Site Inspections Report: Ms. Propp reported visiting the site.
Staff report accepted as part of the record.
The petitioner requests an amendment to the Specific Implementation Plan approval for signage
modifications at 1212 South Main Street.
Mr. Slusarek presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land
use and zoning classifications in this area. A revised signage plan has been submitted. The
revisions include removal of existing signage and installation of new wall/window signage.
Signage to be removed includes the “Menominee Nation Area” wall signage and monument
signage as well as “Menominee Casino Resort” and “Maple Pub” wall signage. This will result in
a removal of 166 sq. ft. of wall signage on the west façade, 122.5 sq. ft. on the north façade, and
78.6 sq. ft. of ground signage (39.3 sq. ft. per monument sign side).
Proposed new signage includes the following:
- Oshkosh Arena logo (west elevation): 11’ ¾” X 39’ 6”
- (2) Dr. Pepper logos (west elevation): 4’ 7 ½” X 5’ 8 ½”
- Dr. Pepper logo (west elevation): 6’ X 4’ 3/16”
- “1212 Sports Pub and Grill” (north elevation): 21’ X 22’ 1”
According to the applicant, the sign revisions are needed as Fox Valley Pro Basketball is pursuing

covering existing window areas of the building, the approved architectural design of the building
will be impacted. Staff did discuss with the application the possibility of reducing the size of the
Oshkosh Arena sign, the applicant decided to move forward with their original proposal. Staff is
recommending that Plan Commission make the determination on whether or not the proposed
signage modifications are appropriate for the site.
Ms. Propp opened up technical questions to staff.
Mr. Mitchell asked if they were just discussing the signage or if they were discussing the outdoor
usage.
Mr. Lyons said they are looking at the request for signage.
Mr. Mitchell stated that the glow sign they have, if there are any restrictions on the light level on
that during different times.
Mr. Lyons said that because it is the first of its kind in the area that there were restrictions placed
on it. There were some concerns from the neighbors over light colored backgrounds and items
like that. Even though they technically met the code requirements placed on it, it was still having
some impacts on the neighborhood and Mr. Fields and his teams worked with their sign vendor
to get it with some darker backgrounds. There are a number of restrictions like length of
messages, type of messages, and hours of operation.
Ms. Propp asked how this signage affects the desired window coverage on the two facades.
Mr. Lyons asked if it was in terms of lighting and ventilation requirement from a building code
standpoint or zoning requirements.
Mr. Propp clarified she was referring to Plan Commission requirement.
Mr. Lyons said that this was a planned development and it had very specific exterior design
requirement above and beyond our normal window percentage that is used a lot. This is a
primarily brick and glass building that had separate design standards we applied to it. It
wouldn’t have the traditional metric that is used.
Ms. Propp said that it doesn’t make it easy for Plan Commission to decide on if it’s appropriate
signage.
Mr. Lyons said the in the neighborhood of 50% are just under the glazing on the west elevation
looks like it’s being covered with the vinyl graphics. The west elevation it looks like there’s more
glazing to the east farther on the elevation than what is shown in the images we have. There is
more glazing off to the side but not sure on percentage.
Mr. Hinz asked if on the front of the building where it says Menominee Nation Arena, is that
where the proposed new signage will go.
8
Mr. Lyons said that they are proposing to remove the Menominee Nation Arena sign and replace
it with a vinyl Oshkosh Arena sign.
Ms. Davey asked if there is a timeframe this will be covered for. Since there is no sure way to
know when they would get a new sponsor, are there limits being put on it for it.
Mr. Lyons said that they want that area to be reserved indefinitely for vinyl graphics that if they
strike a deal for the naming rights and they can put up a new vinyl sign. If that deal expires the
old vinyl signage would be used.
Mr. Marshall asked if the signage is going to get change of a new sponsor, if the white color is
long lasting and can handle weathering or get dingy.
Mr. Lyons said that there have been similar graphics used for the mini murals and they have held
up well.
Jason Fields, Oshkosh Arena, said that these particular vinyls are a 20 year based vinyl so it can
take up to a specific amount of time in order for that to start fading. Reality of it is we will have a
new naming rights partner before you start to see any kind of deterioration or fading of that
white. We hope to have a new naming rights partner within the next 12 to 18 months. The reality
is naming rights can take six months up to a couple years depending on the scope of the potential
partners. The vinyl will not show any fading or discoloration.
They have no intention of putting up additional partner signage. The only other place they would
put it is on 1,2,3,4 on the west elevation space pointing out. Currently Dr. Pepper is a naming
rights sponsor which is why their image would be there. When there is a new naming rights
partner, there will be an entirely different packet of renderings with what they would like. The
applicant stated that they will attempt to try and have them follow suit with what is existing or
previously approved. The applicant stated that it doesn’t make sense for the arena to have other
signs made up when it is for a limited time. The Oshkosh Arena mockup allows them to keep the
cost minimal on a temporary situation. If it was going to be called Oshkosh Arena permanently
then they would be petitioning for something else. Sometimes sponsorship deals run for 12
months and then it has to come down. It requires them to have more flexibility for their partners
and opens up to larger partners outside this area.
Ms. Scheuermann asked if it was customary to have a blanket approval if they might not have a
partner for the next 12-18 months.
Mr. Lyons said that typically when dealing with signage, we deal in areas. A sign can be changed
up as much as they want within that given area. They don’t need additional approval as long as
the meet the same area requirements. This proposal would be similar with the flexibility to
change out as long as they stay within the confines of the area. If they wanted to go in a different
area of the building or increase size over what was previously approved, they would have to
come back.
9
Ms. Scheuermann asked how we know that the standards today are going to be the standards in
two years if they are unsuccessful in getting a naming rights partner.
Mr. Lyons said that Plan Commission could subset clause this and say these areas are approved
for signage for X amount of time and before that would expire and if the arena would want to
renew it they would have to come back.
Ms. Scheuermann asked how long we would give them.
Ms. Davey asked if the #1 area of glass where it says Oshkosh Arena will only be there for 12-18
months max but that areas #2, 3 & 4 that you hope to keep that way forever so they can continue
to host one year sponsors.
Mr. Fields said the 12-18 months is a reference to sometimes how long this takes. This is a post-
COVID situation and a lot of businesses are going through financial ups and downs so that is
weighing heavy on us being able to find an appropriate partner who can pay the price tag we
have for naming rights. When that sign comes down with whatever amount of time that may be,
we will not be putting any other vinyl in that space. Items #2, 3, & 4 is an indefinite and the
reason for that is because that belongs to that gate name. If you have been to the arena and have
seen the Signarama entrance and the Verve entrance, those are sponsors of those particular doors
and they are long term deals with those sponsors and its apart of that particular deal with them.
This gate would be the same thing. They are not looking to replace Oshkosh Arena will a bunch
of sponsors to clutter the space.
Mr. Lyons asked for clarification on the type of signage that will be used for the potential new
naming rights partner.
Mr. Fields said they are pushing traditional signage over having them put their brand on top of
the arena. The vinyl was meant as a temporary solution for us to allow the name to be up front.
Ms. Davey asked if once it comes down, that they are not planning to put anything else in that
space.
Mr. Fields said that is correct and it won’t even be offered to the new naming rights partner. The
intent of offering would be the existing asset spaces that are already in place. They’ll do their best
to retain that and sometimes the partners have big grandiose ideas.
Mr. Lyons said that they may want to consider an additional condition be placed on the approval
of the project if you move forward with this. The current structure of how it’s written the
Menominee Nation Arena sign comes down and Oshkosh Arena goes up. There’s no mechanism
or condition that would allow them to replace, like and kind the Menominee Nation Arena. If
they did reach a new naming sponsor six months from now, they would have to come back to this
body to put any signage for naming rights of the arena. You could condition it that a like size and
10
location sign as the current Menominee Nation Arena’s sign be permitted once the Oshkosh
Arena vinyl has been removed.
Mr. Lyons asked about the north façade and if they are seeking that area indefinitely should a
new restaurant or operator comes in.
Mr. Fields said that is correct and would like that space for continued use.
Mr. Coulibaly asked how the applicant feels about the max suggestions once the other signage
does expire.
Mr. Fields said they have no problem with the recommendation.
Mr. Lyons said it should help you move forward a little quicker with naming rights if you can fit
it within the 166 square feet area of the prior sign without having to come back.
Ms. Propp asked for any public comments and asked if the applicant wanted to make any
statements.
There were no statements from the applicant.
There were no other public comments on this item.
There were no public comments on this item.
Ms. Propp closed public comments and asked if the applicant wanted to make any closing
statements.
There were no closing statements from the applicant.
Motion by Davey to adopt the findings and recommendation as stated in the staff report.
Seconded by Marshall.
Ms. Propp asked if there was any discussion on the motion.
Mr. Mitchell said he will be supporting the arena and they have done a great job of limiting
extreme advertisements and in the future potentially limiting external signage and focusing on
what’s inside.
Motion by Davey to for allowance of 166 aq. Ft. wall sign to replace the prior Menominee Nation
Arena sign subject to the removal of the 453 sq. ft. Oshkosh Arena sign.
Seconded by Scheuermann.
11
Motion carried 9-0.
Ms. Davey asked how much a percentage of the pub sign is glass.
Mr. Lyons said it’s 50% of the far eastern glass area, just past that there’s about two and a half
story small glass section and then there is other glass on the front corner of the building. To the
nature of these signs they would be considered wall signs.
Mr. Slusarek said it’s 33% of a pane is by code.
Mr. Lyons said they are probably under 33% of overall glazing of the north side.
Motion carried 9-0.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at approximately 5:16 pm.

Proposed Amendment:
Fox Valley Pro Basketball, INC is looking to amend our SIP related to our parking lot and its current
zoning classification. The purpose of this request is to allow FVPB to operate a live programing space
outdoors that would operate during the months of April through October.
Property Use:
The main parking lot would be used for live concerts, sporting events, drive in’s and 3rd party rentals at
multiple times of the year during the proposed outdoor operational periods of April-October. Live
concerts would be set up as a general admission standing configuration with no vehicles as one
configuration. A second configuration would be a drive-in concert where patrons in their vehicles would
watch the concert from their vehicles. Sporting events as an example would be basketball (GusMacker),
Drone racing, BMX events, Skateboarding events etc. In addition, FVPB would offer the space as a rental
space to those looking to rent the parking lot.
Structure:
The primary structure will be the main arena parking lot located directly off South Main Street, with
multiple entrances located off the 11th Street side of the parking lot. During the concert period FVPB will
have a temporary stage and screen located at the West end of the parking lot alongside South Main
Street facing North towards the water away from residential housing. In addition, FVPB will have
multiple tents that will be set up during events that will service food and beverage as well as
merchandise, VIP offerings and first aid. These tents are temporary and would be removed after each
event. FVPB will also provide porta-toilets to meet local requirements if needed based on capacity. In
addition, FVPB will have temporary construction privacy fencing placed on the property during each
engagement that would be removed following each engagement.
Occupants:
The occupants for this space will be arena staff, performing artists, athletes, production company,
patrons and rental clients. Event days will have an adjusted capacity attendance of 1200-7000 fans or
attendees plus event staff. The number of event staff members will be based on the size of the event
taking place.
Property Use Impact:
The amendment to the parking lot will increase noise during the event and traffic before and directly
following the event. FVPB will have all outdoor events completed and closed down by 11pm at the latest
on the weekend and 10:30pm at the latest on weekday events. There should be no additional glares,
odors, fumes or additional vibration that will impact adjacent properties.
Compatibility:
The properties intended uses is consistent and complimentary with the Cities development plans for this
area of the city.
Traffic Generation:
The properties intended use will increase traffic during event days. The time of this increase will vary,
however will in most cases be after normal business hour or on a weekend. Traffic prior to events will
start to increase 1.5 to 2 hours before the event and peak immediately after the event is over. The
majority of peak traffic will occur after 8pm when local (non-event) traffic has diminished.
Community Impact:
The amendment to the parking lot will have an overall positive impact on this area and City by increasing
the diverse range of events taking place outdoors that normally would go to competing markets due to
the limited capacity indoors with the arena. By increasing the capacity availability outdoors, we are able
to offer our space to more touring events/programs looking for larger venue capacities or outdoor
spaces with larger capacities that have the ability and following to pull patrons from additional markets
outside of the Fox Valley. This of course drives additional tourism revenue by creating a unique offering
in the City of Oshkosh making the City a competitive market in the touring and live event business.
Parking Impact:
The properties intended use will increase the need for parking outside of the arena property. FVPB has
spoken with a number of businesses in the market about parking patrons remotely for engagements.
Any event that is over 4600 in estimated attendance, FVPB will provide a remote location for patrons
parking at the Extreme Customs parking lot located at 2175 S. Koeller St. FVPB will provide shuttle
service to and from the remote location dropping off at the Arena on the South Park Avenue side of the
building to ensure patrons are clear of traffic. Shuttle service would pick up and drop of from the same
locations. FVPB would also like to suggest to the City of Oshkosh potentially making properties that the
City owns available for paid parking per car which the City would retain 100% of said potential profit.
