yazd setback, whereas Section 30-35(B)(c) of the City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance requires a 19'3"
transitional yazd setback.
Boazd of Appeals Minutes -2- September 12, 2001
�'
Findings: Mr. Schorse stated that because of the uniqueness of the lot, it being bordered on 3 sides
by front yards, the use of the properiy, and the position of the structure, it is the minimum
needed to accomplish this purpose. Ms. Hentz further added that it has no adverse impact
on the neighborhood.
II: 911 Witzel Avenue �
Walter M. Tack, applicant and owner, requests the Board of Appeals, per Section 30-6(D)(3), to extend
a zoning district boundary line where the boundary line divides a lot held in single ownership.
Matt Tucker introduced the item and presented pictures.
Walter Tack, 324 Pheasant Court, Fond du Lac, owner and applicant, stated he had the property
appraised 3 years ago and at tl�at time was reminded that there is a small strip of land that is zoned
residential. It was recently brought to his attention again because he has an interest in refinancing and
the lender suggested having the entire property zoned as commercial.
Chairman Krueger asked if the area is combined into one lot.
Mr. Tucker said yes that it is assessed as one parcel. �
John Paulik, 921 Witzel Avenue, questioned the area involved and questioned when the subject pazcel
was purchased from the City of Oshkosh. He noted that he was against the request to extend the zoning
district boundary line from residential to commercial because he does not want to see all commercial
buildings around him.
Mr. Tucker responded that according to the assessment record the property was purchased in 1987. He
explained that this portion of the lot is a land locked piece and any plans to expand the property would
require that the owner obtain a Conditional Use Permit for the intended use. He added that this request is
essentially a tool to correct the zoning line on a property in split zoning.
Board discussion followed. Mr. Kluessendorf questioned why the Planning Commission recommended
denial of the rezoning of the subject property when on October 3, 1985 the Common Council rezoned
the parcels from R-2 to C-2. Mr. Tucker said he did not have the minutes from the Planning Commission
meeting at this time. He noted that the existing use is a conditional use. He added that at the time the
property was initially developed, the protective tools that currently exist were not in the zoning code.
Chairman Krueger noted that it is not unusual when lots aze combined for there to be zone line changes.
Motion by Schorse for approval to extend a zoning district boundary line. Seconded by Hentz.
Motion carried 4-0. Unanimous.
Findings: It was concluded that it was a matter of cleaning up zoning boundaries so the lot is not
split by two different restrictions.
STAFF REPORT BOARD OF APPEALS
SEPTEMBER 12,2001
ITEM II: 911 WITZEL AVENUE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Walter M. Tack, applicant and owner, requests the Board of Appeals, per Section 30-6(D)(3), to extend .
a zoning district boundary line where the boundary line divides a lot held in single ownership.
Residential use to the south and commercial and industrial uses to the north and east characterize the
general area. The subject lot is zoned C-2 General Commercial District and R-2 Single Family
Residence District. The business at the subject property is the Jet Stream Car Wash.
ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION
The property subject to this request is located on the south side of Witzel Avenue, between Knapp
Street and Idaho Street. The property is being used commercially, and has been used in its current
configuration since 1986. The majority of the property, including the portion of the lot containing all �
improvements, is zoned C-2 General Commercial District. The southwesterly portion of the lot,
approximately 9,800 Square feet, is Zoned R-2 Two Family Residence District. This portion of the lot •
was purchased from the City of Oshkosh in 1987. At that time,the two pieces of property were
combined, which results in the property being in two zoning districts.
The driveway on the west side of this development is nonconforming because it does not meet the
transitional standards of Section 30-35(B)(1)(c), but the proposed zoning extension will have no effect
on this nonconforming condition. Also, there does not appear to be any adverse impact that would
result from moving the zoning district line as the property has been used commercially for 15 years,
and this use is not being changed. In addition, any plans to expand the property would require that the
owner obtain a Conditional Use Permit for this use, which provides the city an opportunity to mitigate
any potential negative impact.
Staff recommends that the C-2 General Commercial zoning district boundary line be moved to the west
lot line of the parcel located at 911 Witzel Avenue.
