Belter called the meeting to order at 4:00pm. Roll call was taken and a quorum declared present.
Approve November 16, 2022 Minutes
Motion by Panek to approve the November 16, 2022 minutes.
Seconded by Hutchison.
Motion carried 4-0.
23-01 Approve Option to Purchase 302 Merritt Avenue; Neighborworks-Green Bay ($1.00)
Motion by Panek to approve 23-01.
Seconded by Hutchison.
Lyons stated they’ve been looking at options for increasing infill development and workforce
housing in the city as a result of the housing study. Staff have been working with Neighborworks-
Green Bay on some concept designs for this lot. They’ve reached the point where they’d like to
have an option on the property while finalizing designs for a new structure.
Hutchison asked if they have a buyer for the lot.
Lyons replied no, they will build and then market the structure.
Belter asked what type of residence will be on the lot.
Lyons replied a duplex. Another thing they’ve done as a result of the housing study is make it
easier to build duplexes on some of these harder to develop lots.
Belter asked if the address is 302 or 300.
Nieforth replied technically it doesn’t have an address because it’s vacant. They would have to
work through the driveway placement to determine what the newly assigned address would be.

Panek asked if they are ultimately planning to purchase the property for $10,000.
Lyons replied affirmatively, they are only seeking the option today. The City has to sell the
property for the fair market value due to the funds used to acquire the property.
Panek asked if they would then develop it and sell it.
Lyons replied affirmatively.
Panek stated she always thinks of children. She asked if there would be a yard to play in if they put
a duplex in.
Lyons replied it’s a two-story structure, so the footprint would be smaller to maintain some
greenspace.
Bellcorelli asked if the property will have a program or subsidy once acquired by Neighborworks.
Lyons replied the city might be able to provide some assistance. They won’t be able to identify
what that is or if there is a need until they bid it out and have it under their control.
Panek asked if there are other multi-family homes in this area.
Lyons replied there is a triplex across the street and several other non-single-residential-family in
the immediate area.
Panek asked if parking would be available on the lot or on the street.
Lyons replied on the lot.
Panek asked if this is the first venture for Neighborworks-Green Bay in Oshkosh and if they’re
excited.
David Erickson, Neighborworks-Green Bay replied they are excited and there are a few other sites
they are considering.
Motion carried 4-0.
