TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark Lyons, Planning Services Manager
DATE: November 18, 2021
RE: Approve Street Right-of-Way Dedication for a Cul-De-Sac at the Western Terminus of
Wilson Avenue
BACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh requests the approval of a street right-of-way dedication for a cul-de-sac at the
western terminus of Wilson Avenue. The City is requesting a right-of-way of two segments at the
westerly terminus of Wilson Avenue to complete a cul-de-sac bulb. This request originated from a recent
vacation of a portion of Wilson Avenue west of this site which connected to Algoma Boulevard.
Although the Wilson Avenue right-of-way was dedicated, a street had not been constructed, stopping
short of Algoma Boulevard by approximately 175 feet. To meet code, a cul-de-sac bulb is required to
provide a turnaround area for larger vehicles.
ANALYSIS
The proposed cul-de-sac dedication will have a radius of 37.50 feet which is smaller than the 50.00-foot
radii for cul-de-sacs typically requested. However, the Department of Public Works determined the
37.50-foot bulb is adequately sized to construct a vehicle turnaround at the expense of having a wider
terrace.
The first dedication is located on the north side of Wilson Avenue. It will be a 484 square-foot semi-circle
tying into the curve to the west. Similarly, a second 484 square-foot semi-circle will be dedicated on the
south side of Wilson Avenue, mirroring the dedication to the north. The dedications are included on a
draft Certified Survey Map (CSM) under review by staff. The owner of the properties are aware and
agreeable to dedicating the land to the public. Once city staff approves the CSM it will be recorded at the
Winnebago County Register of Deeds. The dedications will become official upon approval by the
Common Council.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the right-of-way dedication on November 16, 2021.
Please see the attached staff report and meeting minutes for more information.
