TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark Lyons, Planning Services Manager
DATE: February 17, 2022
RE: Approve General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan for a
Commercial Development at the 200 Block of Ohio Street
BACKGROUND
The applicant requests approval of a General Development Plan and Specific Implementation
Plan to allow a drive-thru coffee shop development at the 200 block of Ohio Street. The subject
site is an irregularly shaped 0.85 acre vacant lot, with frontage on Ohio St., east of the Witzel
Ave. intersection. The property is zoned Riverfront Mixed Use District with a Planned
Development Overlay (RMU-PD). The surrounding area consists primarily of commercial uses
and the Fox River to the north. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends Center
City use for the subject area.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing development of a 605 sq. ft. drive-thru coffee shop with 10-stall
parking lot. The site will also include a patio and walk-up service window. Drive-thru and in-
vehicle sales or service is a conditional use in the RMU district. Staff is supportive of the
proposed use as it is compatible with the surrounding commercial land uses and consistent with
the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use recommendation of Center City for area.
A Plan Commission workshop was held on December 7, 2021. The Plan Commission voiced
support for the proposed use, but had concerns regarding the drive-thru lane along Ohio Street
and circulation of the drive-thru lane and parking lot. The applicant revised their plans to
address these concerns.
The applicant is requesting Base Standard Modifications (BSMs) related to front setback, drive-
thru stacking, a specific landscaping requirement, signage, and lighting. To offset these
requested code exceptions, the applicant has exceeded street frontage landscaping, overall
landscaping, and increased the side (north) and rear (east) setbacks. Staff is supportive of all but
one requested BSM. Staff is comfortable that the applicant has adequately offset most the
requested BSMs and the overall site is compatible with the surrounding area.
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us
Staff and Plan Commission did not support a request BSM to allow roof signage. Plan
Commission has not been supportive of roof signs on other projects and has been consistent in
its application of the code. Staff reviewed zoning codes in surrounding communities and found
they were also prohibited in Appleton, Neenah and Green Bay. Staff feels the applicant could
further utilize the wall sign area on the building to adequately identify the business.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this project should result in an increase in the assessed property value for the site.
The applicant is anticipating spending approximately $1,000,000 on improvements to this site.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the General Development Plan and Specific
Implementation Plan with conditions on February 15, 2022. Please see the attached staff report
and meeting minutes for more information.

ANALYSIS
Use
The applicant is proposing development of a 605 sq. ft. drive-thru coffee shop with 10-stall
parking lot. The site will also include a patio and walk-up service window.
Drive-thru & in-vehicle sales or service is a conditional use in the RMU district. Staff is
supportive of the proposed use as it is compatible surrounding commercial land uses as
consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use recommendation of Center City for area.
A Plan Commission workshop was held on December 7, 2021. Plan Commission voiced support
for the proposed use, but had concerns of the drive-thru lane along Ohio St. and circulation of the
drive-thru lane and parking lot. The applicant has revised their plans to address these concerns.
Site Design/Access
The site will utilize an existing shared access from Ohio Street. A cross access agreement will be
required for use of the shared driveway.
Required Provided
Parking Spaces Minimum: 3
Maximum: 25 10
Impervious Surface Maximum: 80% of lot 28.91% of lot
ITEM II: GDP.SIP 200 Block Ohio St. 3
Proposed parking and impervious surface for the site are compliant with standards for the RMU
District and drive-thru/in-vehicle sales uses.
Minimum Provided
Front Setback (Ohio St.) 10 ft. 7.9 ft. (pavement)
Side Setback (north) 10 ft. 57 ft.+/- (pavement)
Side Setback (south) 10 ft. 10.6 ft. (pavement)
Rear Setback (east) 25 ft. 39 ft.+/- (pavement)
The applicant is requesting a BSM to allow reduced front yard setback to 7.9 ft., where code
requires a 10 ft. setback. Staff is supportive of the requested BSM as a water easement runs
through the property, restricting the ability to move the drive-thru further east. To buffer the
view of the drive-thru lane along the street, the applicant has provided a combination of
evergreen shrubs and medium deciduous trees between the right-of-way and drive-thru lane.
The applicant is also requesting a BSM to reduce the stacking length of the drive-thru lane from
100 ft. in front of the order station to 80 feet. The applicant states that stacking of 8 total vehicles
in the drive-thru, with 4 in front of the pick-up window, provides the proper onsite vehicle
stacking with the typical two and a half minute wait time. Staff is also supportive of this BSM
due to the site constraints related to the water main easement.
Staff received concerns from a tenant of the neighboring office park regarding safety of the shared
access to the site. Specifically, they noted that the existing shared driveway to access to the office
park currently has difficulties meeting the level of traffic entering from Ohio Street in the
morning and are concerned that a coffee shop with peak morning hours utilizing the same
driveway may result in further traffic/safety problems. Planning staff has forwarded these
concerns to Transportation Director, Jim Collins and Engineering Division Manager, Justin
Gierach, and are awaiting comment at the time of this report. A copy of the correspondence is
included in the staff report packet.
Storm Water Management/Utilities
The Department of Public Works has reviewed the plans and noted that finalized storm water
management plans will need to be submitted and approved as part of the Site Plan Review
processes.
Landscaping
The applicant has provided a landscaping plan including points for building foundation, paved
areas, street frontage, and yards.
ITEM II: GDP.SIP 200 Block Ohio St. 4
Points Required Points Provided
Building Foundation
86.4 (21.6 street side, 43.2 main
entrance side)
87.7 (0 street side, 58 main
entrance side)
Paved Area 50 (15 tall trees, 20 shrubs) 53.5 (33 tall trees, 20.5 shrubs)
Street Frontage 287 (143.5 medium trees) 400 (150 medium trees)
Yards 12.1 16.5
Total 435.5 498.7
Building Foundation
The plan meets the total point requirement of 80 points per 100 linear feet of building foundation.
The plan also meets the requirement that 50% of the required points shall be placed on the side of
the main entrance. The applicant is requesting a BSM to allow 0 points on the street facing side,
where code requires 25% of the points (21.6 points).
Staff is supportive the requested BSM as the patio area and on the front side of the building
restricts usable area and visibility of landscaping along the front building foundation. The
applicant has significantly exceeded street frontage landscaping and is also exceeding the
ITEM II: GDP.SIP 200 Block Ohio St. 5
landscaping point requirement for the main entrance side to compensate for the lack of building
foundation plantings on the front side of the building.
Paved Area
The paved area requirement of 50 landscaping points per 10 parking stalls or 10,000 sq. ft. of
paved area is being met. The code further specifies 30% of all points will be devoted to medium
or tall trees and 40% will be devoted to shrubs, which is also being met.
Street Frontage
Code requires 100 points per 100 feet of street frontage. The landscaping ordinance also specifies
that 50% of the required points must be devoted to medium trees. The proposed landscaping
significantly exceeds this requirement, providing 139% of the required point total, which will
serve to offset the BSM for reduced drive-thru setback. The plan also meets the medium tree
requirement.
Yards
Code requires 20 landscaping points per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The plan exceeds this
requirement.
Signage
Signage plans have been included with this request. The plan includes wall signage on the front
and rear facades and roof-mounted signage and wall logo on the side facades. There is an
existing shared ground sign on the site, which will continue to be utilized by several businesses
within the “Bridgeview Centre” office park and will include a tenant panel for the applicant.
ITEM II: GDP.SIP 200 Block Ohio St. 6
A BSM is required for the proposed roof signage on the side (north and south) building elevations
as roof signs are prohibited under the Signage ordinance. The applicant states that the proposed
roof signage is needed as the small building footprint limits available area for wall signage.
Although the building is relatively small in size, limiting available wall signage area, staff feels
that the applicant could further utilize the wall area (where the logo is shown) to identify the
business.
Code allows a maximim of 1 sq. ft. of signage per linear foot of building frontage for on-building
signs. The proposed signage on the front and rear (north and south) facades exceed the maximim
area with 20.8 sq. ft. of wall signage area on a 16.5 linear foot facade. The applicant is requesting
a BSM to allow the additional signage on both of these facades. The applicant notes that this
increase is necessary to increase visibility of the signage. Staff is supportive of the slight increase
in wall signage area on these facades due to the minimal linear footage. Also, the building
exceeds setback requirements, resulting in the building being further from the street and wall
signage being less visible.
The applicant is also requesting a BSM to allow a pre-menu board sign in addition to the menu
board, as code allows a maximum of one daily notice sign per business. According to the
applicant, the pre-menu board is a 11.5 sq. ft., 7.3’ tall, freestanding menu sign that is intended to
display seasonal or special menu options for the customer before they reach the full menu to
place their order.
The proposed primary menu board sign will exceed be 32 sq. ft. in area, exceeding the maximum
size of 24 sq. ft. According to the applicant, this BSM for additional drive-thru sign area is needed
to effectively display Caribou’s products.
Staff is supportive of the second drive-thru sign (pre-menu board) as it is needed to accommodate
the full menu and support efficient use of the drive thru. Staff is also supportive of the increased
drive-thru sign area as both the menu board and pre-menu board will be facing east, away from
the public right-of-way, and will also have shrubs around them to further break up the view from
Ohio St.
Lighting
ITEM II: GDP.SIP 200 Block Ohio St. 7
The applicant submitted a photometric plan for the site. The lighting levels meet the .4 foot-
candle minimum requirement for parking areas, with no more than .5 foot-candles of light
trespass at the property lines, with the exception of along the right-of-way line. Staff is
supportive a BSM as the increased lighting level (0.8 fc) will only slightly exceed the maximum
and only at one relatively small area along the public sidewalk. The proposed light fixtures will
be full cut-offs and the light poles will be 23’ tall, which is the maximum light fixture mounting
height (including base) in the RMU district.
Building Facades
Building Materials
Section 30-243 of the zoning ordinance requires commercial buildings to be clad in 50% Class I
materials, with the exception of rear facades not facing a public street. The petitioner has
provided elevations for the building as well as a material list and material breakdown for the
building for each building facade. The specific elevations breakdown is as follows:
North (side): Class I – 50.3% Class III – 49.7%
South (side): Class I – 50.3% Class III – 49.7%
East (rear): Class I – 14.3% Class III – 85.7%
ITEM II: GDP.SIP 200 Block Ohio St. 8
West (front): Class I – 51% Class III – 49%
The proposed building elevations meet the 50% Class I requirement for the front and side facades,
meeting design standard requirements for commercial buildings.
Overall Site
The applicant is requesting BSMs related to front setback, drive-thru stacking, a specific
landscaping requirement, signage, and lighting. To offset these requested code exceptions, the
applicant has exceeded street frontage landscaping, overall landscaping, and increased the side
(north) and rear (east) setbacks. Staff is comfortable that the applicant has adequately offset the
requested BSMs and the overall site is compatible with the surrounding area.
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.
(b) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan and other area plans. (It is the responsibility of the City to determine
such consistency.)
(c) The proposed Planned Development project would maintain the desired relationships
between land uses, land use densities and intensities, and land use impacts in the environs
of the subject site.
(d) Adequate public infrastructure is or will be available to accommodate the range of
uses being proposed for the Planned Development project, including but not limited to
public sewer and water and public roads.
(e) The proposed Planned Development project will incorporate appropriate and adequate
buffers and transitions between areas of different land uses and development
densities/intensities.
(g) The proposed architecture and character of the proposed Planned Development
project is compatible with adjacent/nearby development.
(h) The proposed Planned Development project will positively contribute to and not
detract from the physical appearance and functional arrangement of development in the
area.
(i) The proposed Planned Development project will produce significant benefits in terms
of environmental design and significant alternative approaches to addressing
development performance that relate to and more than compensate for any requested
exceptions/base standard modifications variation of any standard or regulation of this
Chapter.
Staff recommends approval of the General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan
with the findings listed above and the proposed following conditions:
ITEM II: GDP.SIP 200 Block Ohio St. 9
1. Cross access agreement for shared driveway shall be filed with the Winnebago County
Register of Deeds.
2. BSM to allow reduced front yard setback 7.9 ft., where code requires a minimum 10’ front
yard setback.
3. BSM to allow decreased drive-thru length in front of order station to 80 ft., where code
requires a minimum of 100 ft.
4. BSM to allow reduced street facing building foundation landscaping to 0 points, where
code requires 21.6 points
5. BSM to allow increased wall signage area on the north and south facades to 20.8 sq. ft.,

8. BSM to allow increased lighting level at west property line to 0.8 fc, where code allows a
maximum of 0.5 fc.
9. Final landscaping plans shall be approved by the Department of Community
Development.
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the General Development Plan and Specific
Implementation Plan with conditions. The following is their discussion on the item.
Site Inspections Report: Mr. Perry, Ms. Propp and Ms. Davey all reported visiting the site.
Staff report accepted as part of the record.
The applicant requests approval of a General Development Plan and Specific Implementation
Plan to allow a drive-thru coffee shop development at the 200 block Ohio Street.
Mr. Slusarek presented the item. The applicant is proposing development of a 605 sq. ft. drive-
thru coffee shop with 10-stall parking lot. The site will also include a patio and walk-up service
window.
Drive-thru & in-vehicle sales or service is a conditional use in the RMU district. Staff is
supportive of the proposed use as it is compatible surrounding commercial land uses as
consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use recommendation of Center City for area.
A Plan Commission workshop was held on December 7, 2021. Plan Commission voiced support
for the proposed use, but had concerns of the drive-thru lane along Ohio St. and circulation of the
drive-thru lane and parking lot. The applicant has revised their plans to address these concerns.
Staff recommends approval with the findings and conditions as listed in the staff report.
Mr. Perry opened up technical questions to staff.
Mr. Mitchell asked for clarification on why the project can’t go into the easement.
ITEM II: GDP.SIP 200 Block Ohio St. 10
Mr. Gierach said that if there is work that needs to be done on the sanitary sewer interceptor,
which is the largest in the city, it would stop access to the drive thru of the business.
Mr. Perry asked for any public comments and asked if the applicant wanted to make any
statements.
Mark Johnson, Forward Real Estate Services, said that the easement was a constraint of the
property. It is .88 acres but we are only able to develop a portion of it. The primary business of the
building is reliant on the drive-thru and there are ten car parks with patio bike racks. Caribou has
25 of these open primarily in Minnesota. It’s a great location in the business park and it fits the lot
nicely. We are hoping to start construction in late May with opening by end of September or early
October.
Mr. Perry asked for any public comments and asked if the applicant wanted to make any
statements.
Dr. David Harry, 226 Ohio St, said he objects to the project. He stated that a coffee shop in the
office park goes against the covenant in place. This project would also decimate the flow of traffic
on the Witzel and Ohio intersection.
Mr. Perry closed public comments and asked if the applicant wanted to make any closing
statements.
There were no closing statements from the applicant.
Mr. Nordahl thanked the commission for considering their application.
Motion by Propp to adopt the findings and recommendation as stated in the staff report.
Seconded by Kiefer.
Ms. Propp said that the covenant is an issue and asked for suggestions on how the Plan
Commission proceed with this information.
Mr. Lyons said if there are private covenants they are not party to the city, and would need to be
privately enforced. The city could still proceed. It would be for the owner of the building and the
tenants to figure out.
Mr. Marshall said that it seems like a good use of space. His concern is about the traffic flow since
he does use that parking lot frequently.
Mr. Lyons said there are two access drives into the parking lot. There is about a 9600 daily trip
average on Ohio and the traffic generated by the coffee should would not see a significant
increase of traffic. Staff doesn’t see it as a potential issue.
ITEM II: GDP.SIP 200 Block Ohio St. 11
Mr. Marshall asked if there would be consideration to show the other entry way for those who
don’t know or as an alternative entry way.
Mr. Lyons said they would work with the property owner for signage.
Council Member Ford asked if the developer has had conversations with the business park in
regards to the covenant.
Mr. Johnson said they have had conversations with the lawyer for the business park. The
declaration has since been terminated and not be enforced for some time.
Ms. Scheuermann asked how much more traffic is this proposed project estimated to bring in and
at what point is it a problem.
Mr. Lyons said that they can do statistical analysis but the small size of the building isn’t going to
generate a volume to get exact numbers. We use our best judgement and gauge the situation.
With this large of a traffic volume, the increase is very minimal. We will look at common
practices, number of entrances, configuration of roadway, crash history, and try to make those
decisions the best we can.
Mr. Mitchell said that the site plan shows 8 cars in the driveway. He asked if that was based on
standard business practices or other locations. The thought is that if cars are backed into the road
it would become a safety concern and if there is data on that.
Mr. Slusarek said the service time is 2 ½ minutes so the 8 vehicle stacking in the drive-thru is a
sufficient number for the drive-thru.
Mr. Mitchell said that comparing to some of the Starbucks in the city with maybe similar service
times, have sometimes 15 cars backed into the turn lanes. If it’s not a concern here what is the
reason.
Mr. Lyons said that from a roadway transportation side of things if this driveway was directly
backing out into the roadway, it would create more concerns. With an internal access, it tends to
be less problematic.
Mr. Mitchell asked if there’s a way for this to be developed that in case traffic is a concern and
there are always cars backed up, that there can be some sort of expectation that something like a
second lane is created. If we don’t know what traffic is going to look like and we made a mistake,
what does the recourse look like.
Mr. Lyons said that would have to be a decision for public works to decide if they could encroach
on the easement.
Mr. Mitchell said that if a second drive-thru can’t be created, what is done is there is a car backup.
ITEM II: GDP.SIP 200 Block Ohio St. 12
Mr. Lyons said that give the limited site constraints, there not much we could do. There could be
a positional to straighten out that drive-thru to head more south east, but then you get multiple
pinch points.
Mr. Mitchell asked if there has been any discussion in turning part of the property to the north
where the easements are into a micro-park.
Mr. Lyons said it would be up to Public Works if they would allow any type of improvements in
that area.
Mr. Coulibaly asked if because of a green space turning into paved surface if there has been any
studies on the issue of run-off.
Mr. Gierach said that this area of this disturbance does not elevate to the requirements of
including storm water management on site. They will have to collect and convey water to the
right of way but as far as storm water quantity and quality, the area of development does not
reach the threshold required by code.
Mr. Perry said the presentation indicates that they are not going to allow the roof sign on the
north and south but instead moving it down into the siding area. Is that a problem for the
developer.
Mr. Johnson said the preference is to have it above the eve line of the roof. It’s a lot more
prominent with the background. There are some examples in the city that have that, but they
might not have the same zoning but their signage is above the eve line which is not much
different than what’s being proposed.
Mr. Perry asked if these are vertical letters held up by an A frame attached to the ceiling and not
flat to the roof line.
Mr. Johnson said that is correct.
Mr. Perry said he doesn’t have a problem with it and helps break up the brown metal.
Mr. Mitchell asked if there is a significant traffic issue, what options or solutions are there.
Mr. Johnson said it’s a good question but they are comfortable with the performance of the other
25 locations and have not had stacking issues like being voiced currently.
Motion carried 9-0.

Hello Planning Commission!
I will not be available for the Tuesday 4:00pm meeting regarding this plan so I would like to offer my 2 cents in this
email. I support the sale of this land and a successful business such as Caribou Coffee ( I have many relatives in
Minnesota). My concern however involves the traffic on Ohio street and the inadequate entrance.
Cars from the north turning left from Ohio street into the parking lot line up already in the morning and cars entering
from the south turning right into the parking lot have only 1 lane to enter. The parking lot for Health Waves and
Midwest Dental are separated by a curb but there have been accidents and near misses there as patrons often fail to
recognize that the entrance there has incoming traffic. There is only ONE entrance (and exit) from Ohio street into/out
of the north side of this large professional park. The left hand turning lane on Ohio street can hold an absolute
maximum of 3 cars. How many cars can wait in the left lane before blocking the busy intersection of Ohio and
Witzel? As I’m sure you know between 7:30am and 8:00am the traffic there is busiest, which unfortunately will also be
a peak time for Caribou Coffee customers. The foot traffic and bicycle traffic also is heavy on the sidewalk all summer
long and that intersection has already been questionably safe. I strongly recommend the City look at the safety of that
entrance and it’s capacity to safely navigate the increase of traffic Caribou Coffee will bring.
