WORKSHOP:
Infill Residential RDA Lot Discussion
Request for Proposals
600 Block of Jefferson Street/ North Main Street
City of Oshkosh, WI
Date Due: June 30th, 2023
1. Introduction
The Redevelopment Authority of the City of Oshkosh (RDA) seeks proposals from qualified developers
regarding an urban multi-family residential project in Downtown Oshkosh. The area is part of the
Downtown Oshkosh Neighborhood Association.
http://developoshkosh.com/redevelopment.htm
2. Development Goals
The RDA encourages the submission of a plan for an urban multi-family residential development. All
development should encompass progressive living facilities and amenities compatible with a downtown
or urban setting. The project should complement the surrounding urban environment as well as
incorporate and utilize the entire site, including compatible first-floor land uses with the surrounding
non-residential North Main Street area. Incorporating adjacent sites currently not owned by the RDA is
highly desired to expand the project area and overall impact. The City of Oshkosh’s Housing Needs
Assessment and Strategy Plan encourages a mixture of diverse housing options, filling rental gaps at
lower rent levels, workforce housing, executive housing, and/or building alternative development types,
like owner-occupied duplexes and townhomes in the $200,000-$300,000 range.
https://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us/PlanningServices/housing_study_and_needs_assessment.aspx
3. Property Description
Located East of North Main Street, West of Jefferson Street, South of Irving Avenue, and North of
Parkway Avenue, the site consists of approximately one-third of the west side of the 600 block of
Jefferson Street. The total dimensions of the parcels of land are approximately 120.0’ by 396.0’ on
Jefferson Street and 30.0’ by 120.0’ on North Main Street. The area is made up of nine (9) vacant
parcels. The combined properties are approximately 1.17 acres in size. The redevelopment site is
located within a HUD Qualified Census Track 5.02.
4. Area Conditions
The properties are located within the Downtown Oshkosh Neighborhood Association boundaries and
Near East Redevelopment Area. The area generally contains a mix of older residential single-family
homes and is located adjacent to the North Main Street commercial corridor.
The areas immediately to the south and west are primarily commercial and residential. It is a short walk
to restaurants, retail establishments, entertainment venues, and service businesses. This area provides
an opportunity for residential or mixed-use development in a highly desirable area.
5. Existing Zoning and Land Use
The sites are zoned Two Flat Residential – Planned Development Overlay (TR-10-PD) and Urban Mixed
Use (UMU) which allows for an urban multi-family residential development. As indicated on Exhibit B
attached. A zoning change may be necessary to facilitate the redevelopment. Any proposal should be
compatible with the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan land use recommendation for Center City as
indicated on the attached Exhibit C.
6. Terms and Conditions
The price of the available parcels is approximately $1.75 per sq. ft. or $90,000. At the time of
conveyance, the developer would be expected to provide full payment of the value of the properties
unless a write-down is agreed upon by the RDA, the Oshkosh Common Council, and the selected
developer. However, the RDA and the City will work with interested developers on attractive disposition
terms to facilitate an urban multi-family residential development.
7. Proposal Requirements
• The proposed development must be compatible with the surrounding area, including
density, height, and exterior finishes.
• The proposed development must comply with the City of Oshkosh exterior design standards
or articulate why there would be any deviation from the standards.
• All parking areas must be on the proposed buildings’ rear facades or underground.
• Exterior lighting must be compatible with the style and scale of the structure(s) and
surrounding area.
• Any proposed site amenities including but not limited to; secure bicycle parking, a public
gathering space for guests and residents are encouraged, and/or sustainable practices
implemented as part of the development.
8. Proposal Content and Organization

organized in the following order and contain all of the following elements:
1. Title Page: Show the proposal title, name of firm, address, telephone number(s), name
of a contact person, and other relevant company information.
2. Developer Credentials: Provide a narrative describing the developer’s background,
history, and construction experience, including comparable projects successfully
completed by the developer. Provide names and contact information for three customer
references.
3. Team Members: State the names and titles of key members of your development team,
including proposed subcontractors (if possible, provide resumes for the identified
members).
4. Developer Legal Structure: Provide evidence of corporate status including, where
applicable, Articles of Incorporation or a partnership certificate or agreement. In
addition, identify by name and title entities holding an ownership interest of 20% or

7. Financing Plan: Provide a description of anticipated general financing for the project.
Include the following details:
a. Required investment and expected level of City participation in the
project (if any).
b. State of developer’s financial ability and resources at the developer’s

c. Business concept including target market for the planned project and
how the completed project would be marketed.
d. Offer price for the property.
8. Approaches to addressing the City of Oshkosh’s Housing Needs Assessment and
Strategy Plan recommendations: Explain how the proposed development meets the
needs for a mixture of diverse housing options, fills the gaps at lower rent levels,
addresses workforce housing needs, and/or addresses alternative development types,
like owner-occupied duplexes and townhomes in the $200,000-$300,000 range.

FROM: Kelly Nieforth
Community Development Director
DATE: May 10, 2023
RE: Executive Director’s Report for May 17, 2023
SOUTH SHORE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
Pioneer Marina/Island Area
Mr. Art Dumke continues to work with City staff and other possible developers to explore
development options and funding scenarios. In the interim, Mr. Dumke has submitted a site
plan for a Temporary Use Permit for a seasonal tiki bar on the island. Minor modifications will
be made on the island to meet city and state building, zoning and health code to operate the bar.
Miles Kimball Building (Northwest corner of S. Main/9th Avenue)
The developers plan to open in late 2023. This is later than proposed due to a delay in receiving
the elevator and balconies.
9th Avenue extension to CN Railroad
The project has started construction and will be completed in the Summer of 2023.
Boatworks Property
The RDA awarded an Option to Chet Wesenberg and Tim Hess to construct multi-family units
on the property and will need to obtain an option for the City’s property to the west. The
developers received zoning approval and are bidding out the project. The developers hope to
start construction on the RDA property on the east side in 2023.
43 E. 7th Redevelopment Area
City staff are working with the T. Wall Enterprises team on their proposed development which
is set to start in Spring of 2023.
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us
MARION & PEARL REDEVELOPMENT AREA
Mercury Marine Parking Lot on RDA/City Land
RDA approved a site plan for a parking lot on multiple parcels owned by the City and RDA per
an agreement from 2006. City staff continues to work with Mercury Marine on the
contamination and fill that is located on site. These issues will need to be resolved before
construction of the parking lot can take place.
Merge Update
Construction for Phase I of Mackson Corner on Parcel J along the Fox River continues with plans
to open in mid-2023. City staff facilitated meetings with the Merge developers, Department of
Public Works, and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation regarding the alignment of the
Oregon/Jackson Street bridge reconstruction project so the Merge developers could consider the
location while designing the remainder of their site.
Morgan Crossing – Phase 2
Alexander and Bishop has proposed a multi-family building on the vacant parcel to the east of
the existing Morgan Crossing building. The Common Council approved the creation of TID#42
to help fund the remediation for the development but the developer has not approached the city
to create a Development Agreement.
ATC Easements
The City has been approached by the American Transmission Company (ATC) regarding
easements that they are requesting on City and RDA properties. The proposed easement
placements, widths, and language in the easement document are very restrictive and will
severely limit what the City and RDA could do with their properties in the future. City staff is
meeting with ATC representatives regularly to discuss our concerns with the proposed
easements. Any easements proposed on RDA property would need to be approved by RDA.
SAWYER STREET/OSHKOSH AVENUE
Sawyer Street/Oshkosh Avenue Intersection Reconstruction
The RDA continues to maintain the lots that are planned to be part of the Sawyer Street and
Oshkosh Avenue intersection reconstruction once there are enough funds in TID #35. City staff
continues to monitor grant opportunities as well to help offset these construction costs as well.
JEFFERSON STREET REDEVELOPMENT
Staff has drafted an RFP for the Jefferson Street properties due to the high volume of inquiries
from private developers.
Respectfully Submitted,
Kelly Nieforth
Community Development Director
