PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SEPTEMBER 6, 2022
ITEM VI: PUBLIC HEARING: PONTOONIN HOUSE ANNEXATION FROM THE TOWN OF
OSHKOSH, 2538 SHOREWOOD DRIVE AND PART OF 2534 SHOREWOOD
DRIVE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Petitioner/Property Owner: James & Michelle Work, Loyal & Kelly Straveler
Action(s) Requested:
The petitioners are requesting direct annexation (by unanimous approval) of approximately 0.383
acres of land currently located on Shorewood Drive in the Town of Oshkosh.
This item was first reviewed by Plan Commission on August 16, 2022. Proper notification was not sent to the
Town Clerk and Oshkosh Area School District so this request will be presented once again in accordance with
state statute.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
Procedures concerning annexations are located within Section 30-360 of the City of Oshkosh Zoning
Ordinance as well as within Section 66.0217 of the WI State Statutes.
Property Location and Background Information:
James & Michelle Work, Loyal & Kelly
Straveler are requesting approval of an
annexation of two lots totaling approximately
0.383 acres located at 2534 and 2538
Shorewood Drive in the Town of Oshkosh.
The site is located on the east side of
Shorewood Drive and fronts Lake Winnebago
to the east. The land includes all of Lot 8 of the
Replat of Oakwood Beach Plat (2538
Shorewood Drive) and the easterly portion of
Lot 7 (2534 Shorewood Drive)
In 1980, Frank Straveler petitioned the City of Oshkosh to annex Lot 7 of the Replat of Oakwood
Beach Plat. His original intent was to annex the entire lot, however annexing the entire parcel would
have created a town island (land not contiguous to the rest of the Town) with the properties to the
south which were still it the Town. Creating town islands is not allowed per state annexation law. As
a solution, the Common Council at that time approved to annex only the front 120 feet of Lot 7 which
maintained a Town connection to the south. Mr. Straveler signed an agreement which stated at such
time an adjacent property annexed to the City, the rear portion of Lot 7 would be required to annex to
the City. This condition was imposed on any future owners of the property.

dwelling. It is their wish to have the new house connected to city sanitary sewer and water which
prompted this request. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as appropriate for light density
residential use and the proposed zoning permits the existing single family use for the property by-
right.
Loyal & Kelly Straveler’s property is east of their house which is currently in the City. The land is
undeveloped and is used for yard space with their house property.
The petitioners request the property be annexed with a Single Family Residential-5 with Lakefront
Residential Overlay (SR-5-LRO) District zoning classification to match the adjacent SR-5-LRO City
zone district to the south and is comparable to the current Town’s Suburban Residential District
(Subdivided) (R-2) zoning. The proposed zoning is also consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
2040’s Light Density Residential recommendation.
The Department of Public Works has reviewed the request and reported that City sanitary sewer and
water main were constructed in front of the property in 1975. Sanitary sewer and water laterals have
been stubbed to the property line so the street will not need to be excavated for connections. The
Oshkosh Fire and Police Departments have reviewed the annexation request and do not have any
concerns with providing services to this property.
RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of the Pontoonin House Annexation with temporary and permanent
zonings of Single Family Residential-5 with Lakefront Residential Overlay (SR-5-LRO) District as
requested.
