Council 2.11.25 Housing Workshop Information
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 www.oshkoshwi.gov
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Kelly Nieforth, Community Development Director
DATE: February 7, 2025
RE: Washington and Farmington Housing Projects Workshop
In anticipation of Tuesday’s workshop to discuss the city’s proposed housing programs,
staff would like to provide the following information to Council to review before the
workshop.
The Housing Study was completed in 2022 which identified a gap in available
workforce housing stock compared to the need within the community. During the annual
housing workshop in 2023, Council directed city staff to start exploring possible solutions to
increase single-family housing options for residents within 80%-120% of the Area’s Median
Income (considered part of the workforce income tier). In February of 2024, city staff outlined
two potential housing projects: the former Washington School site and Farmington Estates -
both of which Council supported.
City staff has reached out to developers, builders, and community partners to discuss
how a single-family workforce housing development could be constructed feasibly within a
decent cost margin, while keeping the prices low enough to be affordable to a resident or
family who earns 80%-120% of the Area Median Income. During that process, several possible
paths were outlined, with staff presenting the most feasible options for Oshkosh outlined in
more detail below.
Staff requested the upcoming Housing Workshop with Council to address questions
that arose when creating the housing program. Staff would like to ensure that the program
terms being proposed align with Council’s vision for the city’s single-family workforce
housing projects. Obtaining input from Council will provide staff with a clear outline for the
future development path of these two projects. Below is a list of questions for Council
following a brief history and update on each project. Staff will discuss each of these questions
in more detail during Tuesday’s workshop but wanted to provide a preview of the discussion
items that will take place.
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 www.oshkoshwi.gov
Washington School Lots History:
The Oshkosh Area School District (OASD) sent out an RFP to the public and developers
for the redevelopment or repurpose of the former school in 2023. No proposals were received
so the City and Habitat for Humanity started discussing the option of collaborating to
purchase the site with the intention of constructing single-family workforce housing.
There are eighteen lots expected from the development, with nine for Habitat and nine
for City development. Habitat would like to construct homes for their Home Buyer Program
on their lots and the City would facilitate single-family workforce housing on the remaining
lots. The new homes will blend in with the existing neighborhood by including basements,
porches, detached garages, and architectural features on the homes that are common within
the surrounding neighborhood. The completed Oshkosh Housing Design Book will serve as a
useful guide to both City and Habitat homes to match neighboring house designs. The homes
on the city parcels will be required to follow the designs in the city’s Housing Design Book
and the city is working with Habitat on opportunities to incorporate features of the Housing
Design Book into the Habitat homes.
Before the Washington School site could be developed, it required asbestos abatement
within the former school building which has been completed. The demolition of the standing
structure is expected to start the second week of February. Once the demolition has been
completed, final site preparation for development can begin including utility installation.
Farmington Estates History:
Over two years ago, Council approved a preliminary plat for a portion of this area for a
private developer to construct 18 homes, however the developer did not move forward with
the project. The initial developer had indicated that the cost to install public infrastructure did
not make the market price point feasible without City financial assistance. The property was
listed for sale and was on the market for a year before Council approved purchasing both lots
in the area. This property meets many of the needs due to the proximity to the interstate,
access to large employers, and near an existing neighborhood and the commercial corridor.
Farmington Estates is expected to have larger lots sizes and different home layouts
compared to Washington, based on the expectation of the housing development to blend into
the surrounding neighborhoods. A neighborhood meeting was held for residents to discuss
their concerns with the proposed housing development and an adjustment in lot sizes was
made to accommodate those concerns. A wetland delineation study will be completed this
spring, after which site preparation for development can begin.
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 www.oshkoshwi.gov
Question 1: Home Prices & Affordability
Before the homes can be built, lot preparation must occur. Both Farmington and
Washington will require right of way work that includes improvements such as curb cuts,
laterals installation, utility main installations, stormwater management, and grading of the lots
for example.
Each proposed housing development is intended for a different home buyer. The homes on
the Washington site are meant to be smaller, in-fill lot housing and the homes on the
Farmington site will be constructed on larger lots with an anticipated higher home value (but
still within the workforce income tier). Staff is requesting that Council provide direction as to
who is eligible to purchase the homes. Based on the figure below from the Housing Study
completed in 2022, housing stock is needed the most in the $200,000 to $249,999 and $250,000
to $399,000 range. Please note that the data below has been updated since the original Housing
Study was prepared.
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 www.oshkoshwi.gov
Question: Does the City want to enforce income eligibility requirements for individuals
purchasing the homes and if so, what formula to determine the income eligibility does the
City want to use?
Formula #1: HUD Area Median Income of $99,100. The Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) develops income limits based on Median Family Income estimates and
Fair Market Rent area definitions for each metropolitan area, parts of some metropolitan areas,
and each non-metropolitan county. For the City of Oshkosh, this includes all of Winnebago
County, as part of the Oshkosh-Neenah MSA. This formula is used to determine income
eligibility for all of the City’s Housing programs, city CDBG funding, and WHEDA uses it for
all their tax credit projects including the soon-to-be-constructed The Corridor by
Commonwealth. Habitat also uses HUD for their income eligibility determinations as part of
their Home Buyer Program. Staff has included the table below that outlines what would be a
possible home purchase price based on the home buyer’s income using the HUD Area Median
Income.
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 www.oshkoshwi.gov
Formula #2: U.S. Census Median Household Income of $61,929. The U.S. Census median
household income is the income level that divides households in half, with half of households
having incomes above and half below that level. The U.S. Census Bureau calculates this figure
using data from the Current Population Survey and the American Community Survey. Below
is a table that outlines what would be a possible home purchase price based on the home
buyer’s income.
Staff Recommendation: Staff would prefer to use HUD income threshold requirements, as it is
consistent with all other city programs and state programs. We would prefer the homes to be
purchased by the residents shown to be most in need of housing stock based on the updated
figure above from the Housing Study.
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 www.oshkoshwi.gov
Question 1A: Return on City Investment
Once these developments are complete, Council must determine if they wish to
continue similar projects to facilitate housing. If so, there are options for the City to attempt to
recoup some funds that could then be spent on future projects.
Option A: Fund Incentive - When lots are sold from the builder to home buyer, an additional
amount is added to the sale price, with those funds returned to the City at home closing to be
put into a future housing development fund.
Option B: The only income generated is property tax. City does not get any funds back and
will be required to budget in CIP as needed for possible future projects.
Staff Recommendation: Staff would recommend Option A as a way to continue future
projects. The amount returning to the City could be based on a percentage of the possible
appraised value.
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 www.oshkoshwi.gov
Question 2: Master Builder Responsibilities
Once the lot preparation is complete, a master builder will need to be chosen. The
master builder would be required to partner with a realtor to market and sell the properties,
with a title company to reduce closing costs and other elements as needed, all in an attempt to
keep the cost as low as possible for the home buyers.
Staff has identified the following questions based on research of other housing
programs in the country and what would be feasible for city staff to complete. The work
needed to be completed at this stage may differ depending on the location and what option
Council has chosen for Question 1.
Considerations for Council to determine at the Workshop that will have an impact:
1. Reduce or waive city permit fees?
a. Council could discuss the option of a reduction or waiving of permit fees that
would typically be required with the development as a way to reduce costs.
2. How will the City decide who is eligible to purchase the homes?
a. Options to who determines who can purchase the home could include having the
master builder decide, city staff creating an eligibility program similar to the
existing Home Rehab program, or a community organization administering the
program and selecting home buyers for the City and master builder.
3. What does the home buying process entail?
a. Build the homes on a speculative manner, or have the builders/buyers create the
plans and buyer chooses the finishes.
b. Application period similar to our other housing assistance programs.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends a reduction in permit fees in some manner or
requiring a lump sum to complete the projects. Staff also recommends that the City is involved
in the selection process to ensure the homes are being purchased by residents within the
income level that Council has selected. Staff would like guidance from Council on the level of
City staff involvement beyond the income verification.
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 www.oshkoshwi.gov
Question 3: City Protections
Based on the intent expressed by Council at previous workshops and additional research
completed by staff, there are several possible restrictive covenants the City may consider to
protect the City’s investment in these developments. If chosen to include any restrictive
covenants, City staff will have to verify annually that the covenants are being adhered to.
Possible options for restrictive covenants include the following:
1. No rentals (Owner Occupied Clause) the property must be owner-occupied and will be
verified by city staff for a period of 5 to 10 years.
2. No selling within 5 to 10 years, if so, City receives a percentage back (Repayment
Clause, with variety of options/amounts) due to the City’s initial investment in the site
preparation of both lots. This also serves as protections for flipping the home for profit.
a. 10 years - 10% per year- after 10 years buyer gets full equity - Habitat model
b. 5 years - 20% per year- after 5 years gets full equity - Sheboygan County EDC
Housing Program
c. If owner sells within 5 to 10 years of original purchase, they may only sell at
original purchase price + cost of inflation per year (TBD).
d. City has lien on property for cost/lot investment – lien is in 2nd position and
would be paid back if sold within 5 to 10 years.
Staff Recommendation: Based on staff research and what has been adopted in other
municipalities and housing organizations, if Council is interested in any of the covenants, staff
recommends five years.

SUB JEC T:SUB JEC T :2024 Donations Report
B a c k gr oundBackground
In April 2016, the Common Council revised its Gifts, Donations, Memorials, and Non-Commercial Naming
Policy via Resolution 16-199. The purpose of the donation policy is to provide a foundation of guidelines
and procedures for considering and receiving donations to the City of Oshkosh and to provide a process
for naming public property, structures, and facilities. The revised policy called for having annual donation
reports be provided to the Council.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
In an effort to provide additional background information, a donation form was developed.
Departments report gifts/donations received with the completion of the donation agreement form. This
form is required for all gifts/donations with a value of $100 or more. If the value of the gift/donation is less
than $100, departments establish a method for accurately tracking such donations and should report
such gifts/donations to the Director of Finance on a semi-annual basis. The Library and Museum were
exempted from the requirement to submit donation forms which limits the detail available for their
donations.
Donations received by the City can be budgeted, which makes the receipt of the donation budget
neutral. However, the City does receive donations which were not anticipated and staff does seek
budget amendment(s) for the proposed expenditure(s).

SUB JEC T:SUB JEC T :Res 25-46 Disallowance of Claim - Krause
B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
On or around January 14, 2025, Joseph J Kraus Jr. filed an "appeal B.O.R. assessment" with the City Clerk's
office. Mr. Kraus appeared at the Board of Review last summer to contest his property tax assessment.
The Board held a hearing in the matter and sustained Mr. Kraus's assessment.
Property taxpayers have several different options to pursue if they believe that the assessments on their
property are not correct. The property taxpayer begins by appeal of the valuation to the Board of
Review. A property taxpayer who is not satisfied with the determination of the Board of Review may then
appeal by certiorari review action to the circuit court, appeal through the Wisconsin Department of
Revenue, or file a claim for excessive assessment with the municipality by January 31st of the tax year in
which the taxes are due and then proceed to circuit court. The difference between a certiorari appeal
and the excessive tax appeal is that the certiorari appeal is limited to the record presented at the Board
of Review while the excessive claim appeal allows a taxpayer (and the City) to introduce additional
evidence in relation to the tax assessment. Claims for excessive assessment are presented to Council for
your review and determination as to allowance or disallowance in the same manner as all other claims
against the city.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
The City tendered the defense of this claim to its insurance provider, Statewide Services Inc. Attorney
Dan Lowndes the Managing Attorney for Municipal services for Statewide Services, Inc. has reviewed the
claim and has recommended formal disallowance of the claim at this time based upon the record from
the Board of Review proceedings.
Disallowance of the claim allows Mr. Kraus to proceed to court on this claim if he so chooses . If a court

SUB JEC T:SUB JEC T :Res 25-50 Approve Professional Services Agreement with Ramboll Americas Engineering
Solutions, Inc. for Stringham Creek Box Culvert Investigation in Relation to 7th Avenue
Reconstruction ($132,000)
B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
Residents on West 7th Avenue report increased groundwater levels and more frequent running of sump
pumps following the reconstruction of West 7th Avenue, which occurred during much of the summer of
2024. Residents have expressed concerns that the newly-installed box culvert may be leaking. In order
to evaluate the box culvert system, the Department of Public Works has requested a proposal from
Ramboll Americas Engineering Solutions, Inc. (Ramboll). Ramboll, and their sub-consultants, will conduct
an inspection and investigation of the box culvert system and will use their expertise to help determine if
the box culvert is leaking. This inspection will be conducted without isolating the system from the Fox River
and pumping it down.
Ramboll's services include contracting with Hibbard Inshore, LLC and Willowstick Technologies (Willowstick)
to inspect the Stringham Creek box culvert for possible cracks, joint separation, spalling, or other possible
avenues for leakage; coordinating the work activities; overseeing the field crew while performing the
work; and reviewing the results and Willowstick's report. This investigation is one part of an overall process
to attempt to discern where the reported increase in groundwater level may be originating from.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
The Department of Public Works requested a proposal from Ramboll due to their experience with this
type of work.
FI SC A L I M P A CTFISCAL I M P A C T
The cost of the proposal is $132,000. The cost for these services and will be funded through the Storm
Water section of the 2024 Capital Improvements Program (Account #03210410-6804-04415/Contract
Control-Storm Sewer-24-15 Iowa/Mich/5th/7th Recon).
REC O M M E N D A TI ONRECOMMENDATION
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of a
specialized nature, including engineering services, may be procured without the use of formal, sealed
quotes. I have reviewed the proposal and in accordance with Section 12-16 of the Municipal Code, I am
hereby recommending that the Common Council approve this professional services agreement.

The goals of the City of Oshkosh Sustainability Plan, as listed on
the City of Oshkosh website fit well with many of my personal
beliefs and lifestyle. As a homeowner, and someone who
engages in many outdoor recreational activities, I have a vested
interested in, and want to help maintain a clean, safe, and
environmentally friendly community. In both my personal and
professional life, I have always promoted frugal and wise use
resources. Finally, many of the goals listed in City of Oshkosh
Sustainability Plan were topics [called the Social Determinants
of Health] in the classes I am taking for the post graduate
course of study in which I am enrolled.
If selected, how would you work towards
bettering the community through service on the
Board/Commission?
Promote awareness within the community, and work to
improve access, to quiet recreational activities such as bicycling,
walking paths, and snowshoeing. Try to find ways to improve
access to more affordable quality housing for those with lower
incomes. And in general, do everything possible to help achieve
the listed goals in the City of Oshkosh Sustainability Plan.

Pertaining to Weed Cutting and Lawn Care and Native Landscaping Areas (Sustainability
Advisory Board Recommends Approval)
B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
In 2024, the Sustainability Advisory Board (SAB) had set an annual goal to increase native plantings within
the City of Oshkosh. Throughout the year, the SAB consulted with native plant experts, attempted to
increase public education and promotion of native plantings, and worked with City staff to update and
revise the Weed Cutting and Lawn Care Ordinance in Chapter 17 of the city's municipal code.
In Chapter 17, Section 44 and 44.2, language exists that allows residents to submit an annual plan and
obtain approval from the city to create a native landscaping area in their yard. City staff reviews the
plan to ensure compliance with the municipal code and inspects the area for compliance. The native
landscaping area is not allowed on terraces located in the right-of-way. The proposed amendments
change the title of these areas from Native Landscaping Areas to Native Plant Areas.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
In the summer of 2024, SAB members reviewed Chapter 17-44 and provided recommendations to better
clarify the Weed Cutting and Lawn Care Ordinance. The proposed amendments to the ordinance
include clarification on the exemptions from the requirements, and to better define what a Native Plant
Area is. City staff from the Parks Department, Community Development, and Attorney's Office worked to
revise the ordinance until a final draft was recommended for approval by all SAB members at their
January 6th, 2025 meeting.

the City’s current Weed Cutting and Lawn Ordinance to identify what is currently identified as a Native
Landscaping Area to Native Plant Area, to clarify that a Native Plant Area does not include gardens,

Sections 17-44 and 17-44.2 pertaining to weed cutting and lawn care and native landscaping areas. The
ordinance changes the verbiage so that existing references to "Native Landscaping Areas" within the
municipal code are updated to "Native Plant Areas" and clarifies what “Native Landscaping Areas” do not

The ordinance also removes the requirement that a dimensioned site plan showing setbacks from abutting
properties or exempt areas be provided. The full text of the ordinance may be obtained at the Office of the

ANALYSIS
Zone Change
The applicant is requesting a zone change from the Urban Mixed Use District (UMU) designation
to Urban Mixed Use District with a Planned Development Overlay (UMU-PD) for the subject
property. The requested Planned Development Overlay designation is intended to allow for
flexibility in the zoning ordinance to allow for a commercial use without on-site parking. The
applicant has submitted plans for re-use of the building, which will be addressed as a General
Development Plan (GDP) and Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) review to follow.
Staff is supportive of the proposed rezone as the Planned Development Overlay will
accommodate re-use of the existing built-out site. The UMU-PD zoning designation will remain
consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommendation of Center City for the
subject site.
Rezone to UMU-PD
Use
The applicant plans to convert the existing building to a photography studio. The proposed use
is permitted in the UMU district. A neighborhood meeting was held on January 6, 2025, with no
neighbors in attendance.
Site Design
The applicant plans to utilize the existing building, with no additional building or parking areas.
According to the applicant, there are no employees other than the owner of the photography
studio (applicant). The applicant also notes that this is a “boutique photography business”,
which does not have a high volume of customers at any given time.
Aerial View of Subject Site.
The subject site does not have any on-site parking. Code requires a minimum of one (1) parking
space per 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area for personal or professional service uses. This results in a
minimum parking requirement of 35 parking spaces. The applicant is requesting a base standard
modification (BSM) to allow the site to remain with zero (0) on-site parking spaces.
Staff is supportive of the BSM request to allow the proposed commercial use with zero (0) on-site
parking spaces as insufficient space is available on the site to install parking spaces. Although
code requires 35 parking stalls based on the overall floor area of the building, the proposed
photography studio is not expected to generate a significant parking demand. According to the
applicant, only 3-4 spaces are needed for the employee (owner) and clients. Approximately eight
(8) on-street parking stalls are available on Bay Street and Bay Shore Drive, immediately in front
of the subject site. Staff is comfortable that sufficient on-street parking is available to
accommodate the photography studio.
Signage
The exterior elevation plans show conceptual wall signage on the east and south elevations,
which appear to be within the maximum wall sign area of 1 sq. ft. of wall signage per linear foot
of building frontage for the UMU district. Final signage plans will be reviewed under a separate
building permit.
Site Lighting
The applicant has not provided a photometric plan. No lighting is required for the site as no
parking areas are being proposed. The exterior elevations show wall-mounted light fixtures on
the east and south elevations. Any new lighting will require a photometric plan to verify
compliance with maximum lighting levels at the property line (1.0 fc at public right-of-way) and
shielding from neighboring residentially-zoned properties. If light fixtures extend over the public
right-of-way, an encroachment agreement will be required.
Landscaping
No additional landscaping is being proposed on the site. Additional landscaping is not required
as no additional building or paved areas are being proposed.
Storm Water Management/Utilities
The Department of Public Works has not noted any concerns.
Building Facades
The applicant is not proposing any changes to the building exterior. However, the applicant will
be painting the exterior of the building and replacing windows. Staff feels that these updates will
improve the appearance of the building and serves to offset the requested BSM for off-street
parking reduction.
FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Zoning Map
amendment, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the
criteria established by Chapter 30-381 (D)(2):
(b) The proposed UMU-PD zoning designation is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan as the base zoning (UMU) is considered an appropriate zoning designation for
Center City land uses.
(c) The propose UMU-PD zoning designation maintains the desired overall consistency
of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts because the proposed zoning
designation will remain consistent with neighboring UMU zoning as well as the
Center City future land use plan recommendation for the area.
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 of
the Zoning Ordinance as the proposed personal/professional service use of the site will
not have a negative impact on the public because the use is permitted in the UMU district
and does not include site alterations that will have a negative impact on neighboring
properties.

Tara Rudy Photography, LLC
Dear Members of the City Council and City Departments,
I hope this letter brings a little brightness to your day! I’m reaching out with a
mix of excitement, determination, and a heartfelt plea for your support as I
embark on the biggest journey of my life—one that’s not just about bettering
my business but also about enriching our community.
After years of navigating challenges—like the loss of my studio at 217 North
Main Street due to the fiooding, and difficulties at my current downtown
location—I’ve decided it’s time to take a bold leap forward. I’ve found a
hidden gem at 536 Bay Shore Drive, an older industrial building brimming with
potential, just waiting to be transformed into something extraordinary. My
vision? A stunning, welcoming photography studio that not only elevates my
work but also becomes a space for other entrepreneurs to thrive.
This isn’t just a new chapter for me—it’s a chance to invest deeply in the
beauty and vibrancy of our community. My dream is to breathe new life into
this building, turning it into a clean, modern, and inspiring hub of creativity.
From new windows to a fresh coat of paint, every detail of the renovation will
refiect the care and intention I have for this project. Inside, I’ll create a
spacious, open layout with remodeled ADA-compliant bathroom, ensuring
the studio is accessible and inclusive for all.
As a photographer of nearly 25 years, I’ve learned that a studio is more than
just a workspace—it’s a place where connections happen, creativity
fiourishes, and memories are made. I envision this space not only as a haven
for my work but as a community hub for fellow artists and entrepreneurs; a
place where inspiration thrives and the arts become a central part of life in our
city.
But this dream is about more than aesthetics or business growth. It’s about
revitalization, collaboration, and giving back. By hiring local contractors and
artists, I aim to support the local economy during the renovation process.
Page 12
Once the studio is up and running, it will draw clients, visitors, and creatives
to the area, boosting the vibrancy of the neighborhood.
This is, without a doubt, the biggest professional and flnancial commitment of
my life, but I’m ready to take it on with all my heart. I promise to comply with
all zoning and building regulations and to work closely with you to make this
vision a reality.
I will be taking ownership on 12-13-24, and I would like to request approval to
keep using the on-street parking in the same manner it has been used.
At present, I do not have any employees, and the building does not have its
own parking lot. Typically, I would only need one parking space for myself and
my clients for their session. Occasionally, I may need two or three spaces for
clients, and in rare cases, I may need a few more spaces when working with
larger families. Sessions are no longer than two hours so it would not be for
long periods of time and this is normal day to day scenarios with my business.
I am a boutique photography business, not high volume photography involving
many people there.
I would greatly appreciate it if I could use the on-street parking. I assure you
that I will do my best to be respectful of the neighborhood and ensure that
there is minimal disruption. If there are any guidelines or conditions I should
follow, I would be more than happy to comply.
I’m asking for your support—not just for my dream but for what this project
could mean for the community we share. Let’s turn this old industrial building
into something we can all be proud of; a space that radiates creativity,
connection, and opportunity.
Thank you for considering this endeavor and for everything you do to make our
city a better place. I’d love the chance to discuss this further and share my
excitement with you in person.
With gratitude and hope,
Tara Rudy

SUB JEC T:SUB JEC T :Res 25-59 Approve General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan for a
Personal or Professional Service Use at 536 Bay Shore Drive (Plan Commission Recommends
Approval)
B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
The applicant requests a zone change from the existing Urban Mixed Use District (UMU) to Urban Mixed
Use District with a Planned Development Overlay (UMU-PD). The applicant also requests approval of a
General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan for a personal or professional service use.
The subject site consists of an irregularly-shaped, 0.29-acre parcel located at the northwest corner of Bay
Shore Drive and Bay Street. The site includes an existing 10,427 sq. ft. industrial building (former Wagner
Woodworks). The site is zoned Urban Mixed Use District (UMU) and the surrounding area consists primarily
of vacant and industrial sites to the south and west and residential uses to the north and east. The 2040
Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends Center City use for the subject area.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
The applicant has submitted plans for re-use of the building and plans to convert the existing building to a
photography studio. The proposed use is permitted in the UMU District.
The subject site does not have any on-site parking and does not have sufficient space for added
parking. Code requires a minimum of one (1) parking space per 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area for personal
or professional service uses. This results in a minimum parking requirement of 35 parking spaces. The
applicant is requesting a base standard modification (BSM) to allow the site to remain with zero (0) on-
site parking spaces. Although code requires 35 parking stalls based on the overall floor area of the
building, the proposed photography studio is not expected to generate a significant parking demand.
According to the applicant, only 3-4 spaces are needed for the employee (owner) and clients.
Approximately eight (8) on-street parking stalls are available on Bay Street and Bay Shore Drive,
immediately in front of the subject site. Staff is comfortable that sufficient on-street parking is available to
accommodate the photography studio.
A neighborhood meeting was held on January 6, 2025 to discuss the proposed project, with no neighbors
in attendance.
FI SC A L I M P A CTFISCAL I M P A C T
Approval of this may result in an increase in the assessed property value for the site. The applicant is
anticipating spending approximately $500,000 on the proposed project for updates to the building.
REC O M M E N D A TI ONRECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the requested General Development Plan Amendment
and Specific Implementation Plan with findings and one condition on January 21, 2025. Please see the

ANALYSIS
Zone Change
The applicant is requesting a zone change from the Urban Mixed Use District (UMU) designation
to Urban Mixed Use District with a Planned Development Overlay (UMU-PD) for the subject
property. The requested Planned Development Overlay designation is intended to allow for
flexibility in the zoning ordinance to allow for a commercial use without on-site parking. The
applicant has submitted plans for re-use of the building, which will be addressed as a General
Development Plan (GDP) and Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) review to follow.
Staff is supportive of the proposed rezone as the Planned Development Overlay will
accommodate re-use of the existing built-out site. The UMU-PD zoning designation will remain
consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommendation of Center City for the
subject site.
Rezone to UMU-PD
Use
The applicant plans to convert the existing building to a photography studio. The proposed use
is permitted in the UMU district. A neighborhood meeting was held on January 6, 2025, with no
neighbors in attendance.
Site Design
The applicant plans to utilize the existing building, with no additional building or parking areas.
According to the applicant, there are no employees other than the owner of the photography
studio (applicant). The applicant also notes that this is a “boutique photography business”,
which does not have a high volume of customers at any given time.
Aerial View of Subject Site.
The subject site does not have any on-site parking. Code requires a minimum of one (1) parking
space per 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area for personal or professional service uses. This results in a
minimum parking requirement of 35 parking spaces. The applicant is requesting a base standard
modification (BSM) to allow the site to remain with zero (0) on-site parking spaces.
Staff is supportive of the BSM request to allow the proposed commercial use with zero (0) on-site
parking spaces as insufficient space is available on the site to install parking spaces. Although
code requires 35 parking stalls based on the overall floor area of the building, the proposed
photography studio is not expected to generate a significant parking demand. According to the
applicant, only 3-4 spaces are needed for the employee (owner) and clients. Approximately eight
(8) on-street parking stalls are available on Bay Street and Bay Shore Drive, immediately in front
of the subject site. Staff is comfortable that sufficient on-street parking is available to
accommodate the photography studio.
Signage
The exterior elevation plans show conceptual wall signage on the east and south elevations,
which appear to be within the maximum wall sign area of 1 sq. ft. of wall signage per linear foot
of building frontage for the UMU district. Final signage plans will be reviewed under a separate
building permit.
Site Lighting
The applicant has not provided a photometric plan. No lighting is required for the site as no
parking areas are being proposed. The exterior elevations show wall-mounted light fixtures on
the east and south elevations. Any new lighting will require a photometric plan to verify
compliance with maximum lighting levels at the property line (1.0 fc at public right-of-way) and
shielding from neighboring residentially-zoned properties. If light fixtures extend over the public
right-of-way, an encroachment agreement will be required.
Landscaping
No additional landscaping is being proposed on the site. Additional landscaping is not required
as no additional building or paved areas are being proposed.
Storm Water Management/Utilities
The Department of Public Works has not noted any concerns.
Building Facades
The applicant is not proposing any changes to the building exterior. However, the applicant will
be painting the exterior of the building and replacing windows. Staff feels that these updates will
improve the appearance of the building and serves to offset the requested BSM for off-street
parking reduction.
FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Zoning Map
amendment, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the
criteria established by Chapter 30-381 (D)(2):
(b) The proposed UMU-PD zoning designation is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan as the base zoning (UMU) is considered an appropriate zoning designation for
Center City land uses.
(c) The propose UMU-PD zoning designation maintains the desired overall consistency
of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts because the proposed zoning
designation will remain consistent with neighboring UMU zoning as well as the
Center City future land use plan recommendation for the area.
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 of
the Zoning Ordinance as the proposed personal/professional service use of the site will
not have a negative impact on the public because the use is permitted in the UMU district
and does not include site alterations that will have a negative impact on neighboring
properties.
(b) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan as the proposed personal/professional use of the property is
consistent with the Center City land use recommendation.

the Planned Development project as sufficient public on-street parking is available for use
by the applicant.

detract from the physical appearance of the area as the proposed personal/professional
service use will include updates and improvements to the appearance of an existing
building.

addressing development performance and compensates for requested base standard
modifications of standards/regulations of the Zoning Ordinance as the proposed

Tara Rudy Photography, LLC
Dear Members of the City Council and City Departments,
I hope this letter brings a little brightness to your day! I’m reaching out with a
mix of excitement, determination, and a heartfelt plea for your support as I
embark on the biggest journey of my life—one that’s not just about bettering
my business but also about enriching our community.
After years of navigating challenges—like the loss of my studio at 217 North
Main Street due to the fiooding, and difficulties at my current downtown
location—I’ve decided it’s time to take a bold leap forward. I’ve found a
hidden gem at 536 Bay Shore Drive, an older industrial building brimming with
potential, just waiting to be transformed into something extraordinary. My
vision? A stunning, welcoming photography studio that not only elevates my
work but also becomes a space for other entrepreneurs to thrive.
This isn’t just a new chapter for me—it’s a chance to invest deeply in the
beauty and vibrancy of our community. My dream is to breathe new life into
this building, turning it into a clean, modern, and inspiring hub of creativity.
From new windows to a fresh coat of paint, every detail of the renovation will
refiect the care and intention I have for this project. Inside, I’ll create a
spacious, open layout with remodeled ADA-compliant bathroom, ensuring
the studio is accessible and inclusive for all.
As a photographer of nearly 25 years, I’ve learned that a studio is more than
just a workspace—it’s a place where connections happen, creativity
fiourishes, and memories are made. I envision this space not only as a haven
for my work but as a community hub for fellow artists and entrepreneurs; a
place where inspiration thrives and the arts become a central part of life in our
city.
But this dream is about more than aesthetics or business growth. It’s about
revitalization, collaboration, and giving back. By hiring local contractors and
artists, I aim to support the local economy during the renovation process.
Page 12
Once the studio is up and running, it will draw clients, visitors, and creatives
to the area, boosting the vibrancy of the neighborhood.
This is, without a doubt, the biggest professional and flnancial commitment of
my life, but I’m ready to take it on with all my heart. I promise to comply with
all zoning and building regulations and to work closely with you to make this
vision a reality.
I will be taking ownership on 12-13-24, and I would like to request approval to
keep using the on-street parking in the same manner it has been used.
At present, I do not have any employees, and the building does not have its
own parking lot. Typically, I would only need one parking space for myself and
my clients for their session. Occasionally, I may need two or three spaces for
clients, and in rare cases, I may need a few more spaces when working with
larger families. Sessions are no longer than two hours so it would not be for
long periods of time and this is normal day to day scenarios with my business.
I am a boutique photography business, not high volume photography involving
many people there.
I would greatly appreciate it if I could use the on-street parking. I assure you
that I will do my best to be respectful of the neighborhood and ensure that
there is minimal disruption. If there are any guidelines or conditions I should
follow, I would be more than happy to comply.
I’m asking for your support—not just for my dream but for what this project
could mean for the community we share. Let’s turn this old industrial building
into something we can all be proud of; a space that radiates creativity,
connection, and opportunity.
Thank you for considering this endeavor and for everything you do to make our
city a better place. I’d love the chance to discuss this further and share my
excitement with you in person.
With gratitude and hope,
Tara Rudy

SUB JEC T:SUB JEC T :Res 25-60 Approve Professional Services Agreement with Matrix Consulting Group for an
Inspections Codes, Permits & Fee Review and City Development Review Process Assessment
($133,940)
B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
The Oshkosh Common Council directed the Community Development Department to engage with
consultants to assess the city's current development review process and suggest updates to the city's
municipal code related to housing and building in order to support economic growth and investment in
the city.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
City staff released two Request for Proposal (RFP's) for each task and received multiple proposals from
consultants across the country. Matrix Consulting Group's proposals demonstrated that they have
extensive experience with reviewing codes, analyzing permits and fees for municipalities including
municipalities in Wisconsin. Matrix Consulting Group also had experience working in Oshkosh on other
plans for other City Departments and provided a very detailed response for each task listed in the RFP
which showed staff that they have a thorough understanding of what the city hopes to accomplish with
this project. Based on their experience, Staff chose Matrix Consulting Group for both proposals.
The Department of Community Development is requesting approval of a Professional Services Agreement
with Matrix Consulting Group to perform multiple reviews and assessments related to various processes
and municipal codes that the Community Development Department administers. A code audit of
Chapters 7 (Building) and 16 (Housing) within the municipal code will take place in order to identify
potential code amendments in order to facilitate growth in the city while still adhering to health and
safety requirements. Also included in this aspect of the project is a review of the structure of the required
permits and associated fees within the Inspections Division. The City's required permits and fees will be
compared to other municipalities to ensure Oshkosh has similar requirements and fees to other
communities.
The development review process improvement aspect of the project will include reviewing the city's
existing development process and recommend changes in order to improve service delivery to
developers, contractors, and residents within the City.
The consultants will be meeting with various stakeholders including elected officials, city staff, developers,
contractors and residents to learn more about their experiences going through the development process
in Oshkosh. Staff hopes this feedback will provide valuable insight that will be incorporated into the
eventual recommendations for changes. The consultants will start work in February and the
recommendations will be completed in July 2025.
FI SC A L I M P A CTFISCAL I M P A C T
Funding for the $133,940.00 cost will come from multiple accounts within the Community Development
Department and the city's APRA interest fund.
REC O M M E N D A TI ONRECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the professional services agreement with Matrix Consulting Group for a
building and housing code audit and development review process improvement project.

The City shall pay the Consultant within 30 calendar days after receipt of such

c. Additional Costs. Costs for additional services shall be negotiated and set forth in
a written amendment to this Agreement executed by both parties prior to
proceeding with the work covered under the subject amendment.
16. Hold Harmless. It is the intention of the parties that each party shall be solely responsible
for its own actions, inactions, and activities, including the actions and activities of its own
officers, employees and agents while acting within the scope of their employment.
a. The Consultant covenants and agrees to protect and hold the City of Oshkosh
harmless against all actions, claims, and demands which may arise related to this
Project. Consultant’s obligations will be to the proportionate extent caused by or
resulting from the intentional or negligent acts of the Consultant, its agents or
assigns, its employees, or any Sub-Consultant it has retained to assist with this
issue. The relevant acts are those which are related to the performance of this
Agreement or which are caused by or result from any violation of any law or
administrative regulation. Consultant shall indemnify or refund to the City all
sums expended including court costs, attorney fees, and punitive damages which
the City may be obliged or adjudged to pay. Claims or demands are due within
thirty (30) days of the date of the City’s written demand for indemnification or
refund for those actions, claim, and demands caused by or resulting from
intentional or negligent acts as specified in this paragraph.
b. Subject to any and all immunities and limitations contained in Wisconsin Statutes,
Sec. 893.80, and any applicable part of the Wisconsin Statutes, the City agrees to
hold Consultant harmless from liability, including claims, demands, losses, costs,
damages, and expenses of every kind and description (including death), to the
proportionate extent caused by or result from the intentional or negligent acts of
the City, its agents or assigns, its employees, or its Sub-Consultants related to the
performance of this Agreement or which may be caused or result from any
7
February 5, 2025
violation of any law or administrative regulation, where such liability is founded
upon or grows out of the acts or omission of any of the officers, employees or
agents of the City of Oshkosh while acting within the scope of their employment.
17. Insurance. The Consultant agrees to procure and retain in good standing policies which
in all respects comply with the attached Exhibit A City of Oshkosh Insurance Requirements
for Professional Services.
18. Whole Agreement / Amendment. This document and any attachments identified or
documents referenced contain all terms and conditions of the Agreement and any
additions, subtractions, or alterations to the resulting Agreement shall be invalid unless
made in writing, signed by both parties and incorporated as an amendment to this
Agreement.
19. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement gives no rights, benefits, or obligations to
anyone other than City and Consultant and therefore there are no third-party beneficiaries
of this Agreement.
20. Non-Discrimination. The Consultant will not discriminate in its actions related to this
Agreement on the basis of race, color, creed, age, and gender, or other protected classes
as otherwise prohibited by law. A breach of this term may be regarded as a material
breach of this Agreement. Consultant agrees that all hiring or employment related to this
Agreement will not involve any discrimination against any employee or applicant for
employment related to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity,
national origin, or other protected class as otherwise prohibited by law.
21. Public Records. The City is a governmental entity that is required to comply with
Wisconsin public records laws. Consultant acknowledges that Wisconsin Public Records
laws assume records are available for public viewing unless there are specific other laws
that prevent or limit release, and further acknowledges that documents provided to a
public entity such as the City are treated by the law differently than documents provided
to a private entity. Consultant also acknowledges that it is a contractor of the City and
therefore pursuant to Wisconsin law may be in possession of public records which are not
otherwise also in the possession of the City. Consultant agrees to cooperate with the City
and any public records requests. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement,
including component parts, the City will always be allowed to use documents in
8
February 5, 2025
conformity with all applicable laws, including public records laws. Any action the City
takes that is consistent with any applicable law shall not be considered a breach or
violation of this Agreement, regardless if this Agreement or any attachment or referenced
document includes terms or conditions that conflict with applicable law that the City is
following. Consultant may elect to challenge a public records decision by City, but must
do so at its own risk and own cost, regardless of the outcome of such challenge.
22. Confidentiality. City as a public body is required by law to maintain certain levels of
transparency of its activities, including those activities carried out through consultants.
Therefore, only those documents related to the Project that benefit from explicit statutory
protections may be redacted or withheld from release. Consultant’s designation of
documents or information as “confidential,” “proprietary,” or similar designation will not
prevent its public viewing or use unless it is otherwise protected by law. Similarly,
references to lawful protections of information and documents through intellectual
property rights, trade secrets, or similar designations, will be protected only to the extent
that they qualify for statutory or common law protections. As a general rule, in light of
the statutory definition and required chain of custody protocols, it is unlikely that
information disclosed to City would be considered a valid trade secret. Consultant may
elect to challenge a decision in this regard by the City, but will do so at its own risk, and
its own cost, regardless of the outcome of such challenge.
23. Agreement Not to Be Construed Against Any Party. This Agreement is the product of
negotiation between all parties and therefore no term, covenant or provision herein or the
failure to include a term, covenant or provision shall be construed against any party hereto
solely on the basis that one party or the other drafted this Agreement or any term,
covenant or condition contained herein.
24. No Waiver. Failure of either party to insist upon the strict performance of terms and
provisions of this Agreement, or any of them, shall not constitute or be construed as a
waiver or relinquishment of that party’s right to thereafter enforce such term or provision,
and that term of the provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
25. Severability. If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement shall be
adjudged invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of
this agreement shall not be affected thereby and the remainder of the agreement shall be
valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
9
February 5, 2025
26. Choice of Law, Venue, and Dispute Resolution. The laws of the State of Wisconsin shall
govern the interpretation and construction of this Agreement. Winnebago County shall
be the venue for all disputes arising under this Agreement. The parties agree that it may
be beneficial to undertake an initial mutually agreeable mediation to resolve a dispute.
However, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, all disputes shall be resolved by the
judiciary. Under no circumstance shall any dispute be subject to arbitration.
27. Signatures. By placing their signatures below, each individual affirms that the entity they
represent is authorized to enter into this Agreement, and further affirm that they are
authorized by the entity they are representing to bind their respective parties to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.

Dear Ms. Nieforth:
Matrix Consulting Group, Ltd. is pleased to present our revised task plan to provide a
development review process, building code, and fee schedule assessment to the City of
Oshkosh development service operations. Our revised task plan is based on a
consolidated workplan for the two development review process assessment and
inspection codes, permits and fee proposals submitted on November 15, 2024, and our
follow-up conversation on January 15, 2025.
We propose to conduct this study over six months for a total, not -to-exceed price of
$133,940.
Please let me or Courtney Ramos know of any questions related to this consolidated task
plan. We look forward to working with you and the City of Oshkosh. I can be reached at
abaggarly@matrixcg.net or by phone at 803-622-9910.
Aaron Baggarly, AICP
Vice President, Matrix Consulting Group
Development Review Assessment and Fee Schedule Task Plan Oshkosh, WI
Matrix Consulting Group 2
1. Consolidated Task Plan
The following is the consolidated task plan that combines the two tasks plan into a single
scope of work.
1. Conduct Kickoff Meeting and Data Collection: Conduct an initial meeting between
the entire Matrix project team with the City project steering committee to discuss
the scope of the study and request initial data such as budget information,
workload, code sections, staffing, time tracking, fees, etc. and determine 5
comparative jurisdictions.
2. Conduct Interviews and Create Current State Profile: To evaluate the
development review operations and processes, we need to develop an in -depth
understanding of the key issues impacting and shaping service requirements. To
develop this perspective, we will conduct interviews with representatives from the
Community Development and Public Works Departments, members from each of
the relevant departments/divisions involved in the development review processes,
City management, and appointed/elected officials (if desired). These interviews
will focus on developing an understanding of the current provision of development
review services, staffing levels, workload, and technology utilization.
3. Diagram Primary Development Review Processes: In this task, the focus will be
the development of detailed process diagrams for the primary entitlement,
permitting, and inspection business processes. We will develop current state
workflows that show the existing processes with information detailing which
departments/divisions and staff are involved in each process, whether each step
is manual or automated, the handoffs between individuals and
departments/divisions, the data required from each step, and the timeframe for
completion. The process mapping will clearly display all applicable touch points
between the applicant and city staff and how technology is integrated into the
process.
4. Audit of Building and Housing Municipal Code Chapters and Propose
Amendments. The community development project team will conduct an audit of
the City’s municipal code chapters and the relevant State building codes.
Strengths and gaps will be identified and amendments to better align with State
requirements will be proposed. Amendments will be expanded following the next
task (peer jurisdiction comparative).
5. Host Prior Customer Focus Groups and Distribute Stakeholder Survey. Conduct
outreach to prior customers to obtain feedback on customer and/or staff
communications and perceptions of the development review services, fees,
Development Review Assessment and Fee Schedule Task Plan Oshkosh, WI
Matrix Consulting Group 3
necessary permits, and processes. This will be a combination of an online survey
and three focus groups of past customers and local professional organizations.
6. Best Practice Assessment: Evaluate the services provided by the departments in
regard to organization composition, roles/responsibilities, technology, staffing
approaches, and operational activities in the context of best management
practices in the profession. When conducting the best management practices
assessment, each operational area would be assessed against a unique set of
management practices. We will evaluate the programs and practices of the
various divisions in areas such as staffing, managemen t and strategic planning,
process, training, communication, timelines, technology, and funding sources.
The best practice assessment will include the identification of areas where the
City currently meets or exceeds the best practice and identification of
issues/opportunities for improvement.
7. Comparative Assessment: The project team will also conduct a comparative
assessment with five other similar municipal organization. We would compare the
service delivery model, organizational structure, supervisor ratios, performance
timelines, technology utilization, and other organizational characterist ics to
current operations in Oshkosh. Additional we will develop fee scenarios as part of
the comparative outreach The comparative survey would provide insight regarding
how the City compares to other city organizations and identify areas for further
inquiry for potential modification to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of
service delivery utilization. Comparative fee analysis based on select scenarios
will be completed.
8. Identify Current Fees and Service Levels: The financial services project team will
work with the Building Inspections Services Division staff to review the existing
building permit fee schedule to ensure that its structure of fees for building
inspection services is the best basis for recovering its costs.
9. Determine Time Estimates: Financial services will review the city’s current time
tracking information as well as conduct staff interviews to determine the time
spent reviewing and inspecting the different codes .
10. Evaluate Development Review, Permitting, and Inspection Operational Practices,
Processes, Technology, Customer Service, and Staffing Approaches.
Analysis that will be included in this task item includes the following:
• Analyze the various development related work processes and process
modifications. This will include any potential code modifications.
Development Review Assessment and Fee Schedule Task Plan Oshkosh, WI
Matrix Consulting Group 4
• Evaluate the adequacy of major work practices utilized by each function.
• Analyze response and review timeliness.
• Evaluate customer service including internal and external customers.
• Evaluate current technology systems.
• Evaluate the skill mix of current staff and determine staffing resource
needs.
11. Develop Draft Development Review Process Assessment: For the development
review assessment portion of the study, the project team will compile the draft
findings and recommendations into a single document. This will include an
executive summary, final analysis of the customer survey/focus groups, best
practices assessment, comparative assessment, draft analysis, findings, and
recommendations.
Upon review of the draft recommendations and findings, the Matrix project team
will work with the City to develop an implementation plan that prioritizes the
recommendations and assign a timeline for implementation.
12. Calculate Draft Fee Results: The project team will take the time estimate
information, and the budget information to calculate the full cost of services
associated with building code inspections activities.
13. Discuss Annual Revenue Impacts: Workload information coupled with the draft
per unit fee results will be used to project the annual revenue associated with these
activities.
14. Develop Draft and Final Fee Study Report: Incorporation of the methodology, per
unit results, annual results, and comparative survey into a draft codes review and
fee study assessment for discussion and review with department and project
steering committee. Based on any feedback the fee study report should be
finalized.
15. Final Report and Presentation: The final development review process
assessment, code review, and fee study analysis will be consolidated into a single
final report. The project team would attend and conduct up to two presentations
at City Council to ensure that there is appropriate buy-in for the process and code
review recommendations and fee study implementation.
Each of the task items above will include an interim deliverable.

OCTOBER 21, 2024
RE: City of Oshkosh - Request for Proposals – Development Review Process Assessment
A. OVERVIEW
The City of Oshkosh is interested in conducting a thorough assessment of its development
review process to improve internal processes, establish consistent outcomes, and identify
improvements to streamline the overall review process. The City last completed a
development review process update in 2010 but is looking to identify solutions to make
additional improvements to the process. Staff has made notable enhancements to
streamline the review process over the past fourteen (14) years including updating the plan
submittal process, establishing deadlines for internal staff to review plans, upgrading the
city’s permitting and plan review platform (Evolve), creating an online portal to submit
plans, improving communication with developers, obtaining certification to be a registered
agent in the state to review building, HVAC and plumbing plans and reaching out to
contractors for input on how the city can improve.
The Community Development Department, in concert with other City departments,
currently processes an average of 200 site plan applications per year, of which around ten
(10) percent would be considered large development applications. The Inspection Services
Division processes an average of 150 building, HVAC, and/or plumbing plans annually
which are reviewed by city staff or outsourced to a third-party reviewer.
Improvement to the development review process completed by city staff is a goal that the
Oshkosh Common Council has identified within their 2025-2026 City of Oshkosh Strategic
Plan; with overarching objectives focused on establishing consistent and effective review
processes, consistent application of the building and zoning codes, obtaining constructive
feedback from the city’s customers going through the development process and improving
internal processes to reduce unnecessary staff work.
The Community Development Department has the largest role in the development review
process through the Economic Development Division, Planning and Zoning Division and
the Inspection Services Division all within the Department.
Please note that there is another RFP that the City has released concurrently in addition to
this RFP for services to conduct a thorough assessment of the municipal codes that City’s
Inspection Services Division administers as well as analyzing permits required for
residential and commercial projects, associated plan application fees and permit fees in an
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 https://www.oshkoshwi.gov/

effort to ensure that the city is development-friendly yet protecting the health and safety of
the residents. The city will permit a consultant to submit a proposal in response to both
RFPs.
B. OBJECTIVES

procedures to gain efficiencies; 3) evaluate how City departments review processes and
task assignments are functioning and where efficiencies can be gained; 4) establish
implementation procedures for the agreed-upon changes; 5) determine if the City is using
best practices to communicate expectations and requirements to the private development
community during projects; and, 6) engage with internal and external stakeholders aligned
with the development review process.
Consultant recommendations should be supported by best practices or evidence-based
operational practices. See the Scope of Services below for a more detailed list of objectives.

RE: City of Oshkosh - Request for Proposals –Inspections Codes, Permits and Fees Review
A. OVERVIEW
The City of Oshkosh is interested in conducting a thorough assessment of various aspects
of the City’s Inspection Services Division codes and tasks including reviewing the existing
city codes that the Division enforces, permit fees, and permit requirements. The Inspection
Services Division is located within the City’s Community Development Department along
with the Economic Development Division, Planning and Zoning Division and the
Assessment Services Division. The Inspections Division administers the Building, HVAC,
Electrical, and Plumbing permits needed for construction projects for both commercial and
residential properties. Among permit administration, the Inspections Services Division also
administers code enforcement and the city’s Weights and Measures program. A staff of ten
(10) people perform the plan reviews, issue permits, and conduct the inspections.
The City of Oshkosh reviewed 176 building plans for compliance, processed 4,788 permit
applications and conducted 5,991 inspections in 2023. The City works with a third-party
reviewer who assists the city with plan review as well. Permit fees for permits were last
updated in 2013.
The City desires to retain the services of a consultant to prepare various recommendations
to update the fee schedule for permits required by the City, compare the City’s required
permits with the permits that other municipalities require and review the City’s codes that
the Inspection Division administers.
The City last completed a development review process update in 2010 that included the
Inspections Services Division, but is looking to identify fees, codes, or requirements that the
City of Oshkosh currently requires but other municipalities do not, which may be
perceived by developers, contractors, architects, residents, etc. as cumbersome to
development in the Oshkosh Community. Staff has made notable enhancements to
streamline the review process over the past 14 years including updating the plan submittal
process, establishing deadlines for internal staff to review plans, upgrading the city’s
permitting and plan review platform (Evolve), creating an online portal to submit plans
and permits, improving communication with developers, obtaining certification to be a
registered agent in the state to review building, HVAC and plumbing plans and reaching
out to contractors for input on how the city can improve.

Improvement to the development review process is a goal that the Oshkosh Common
Council has identified within their 2025-2026 City of Oshkosh Strategic Plan; with
overarching objectives focused on establishing consistent and effective review processes,
consistent application of the building and zoning codes, obtaining constructive feedback
from the city’s customers going through the development process and improving internal
processes to reduce unnecessary staff work.
The Community Development Department has the largest role in the development review
process through the Economic Development Division, Planning and Zoning Division and
the Inspection Services Division all within the Community Development Department.

City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 https://www.oshkoshwi.gov/

Construction, replacement or expansion of a fence, patio or driveway.
Moving of constructed buildings in or outside of the City of Oshkosh.
Permits are not required for:
Interior painting or wallpapering.
Pouring of a concrete sidewalk (maximum 4 feet in width).

Replacement of a faucet.
Municipal Codes Administered by the Inspections Services Division:
The City’s Building Inspections Services Division administers multiple codes within the City’s
Municipal Code. Building Inspections is primarily responsible for Chapter 7- Building, Chapter
16- Housing, Chapter 29- Weights and Measures but also enforces aspects of Chapter 11-
Electrical Code, Chapter 17- Morals and Conduct for code enforcement items and Chapter 20-
Plumbing for plumbing approvals. The building codes have many restrictions on how and when
those codes can be updated or amended.
The State of Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) administers the
building codes that municipalities are required to adopt and follow. DSPS has two Code
Councils made up of private contractors, building inspectors, trades representatives, engineers,
etc. who are appointed by the Governor to advise DSPS on matters related to dwelling codes
(residential) and commercial building codes. These two councils are tasked with reviewing
codes and making recommendations on code language for the State to adopt. The
recommendations are passed along to State Committees for consideration and then passed on
to the State Legislature for adoption. Municipalities do not have the option of adopting or
enforcing a code that is either less or more restrictive than the State’s adopted codes. The State’s
codes are included in Chapter 101 of the Wisconsin State Statutes. In addition to Chapter 101,
the city has also adopted SS 145.02 for Plumbing.
The City of Oshkosh is one of a handful of municipalities in the State of Wisconsin who have
been appointed as a “Delegated Agent” of the State to perform additional plan review,
permitting and inspections that other municipalities are not able to offer. This designation is
beneficial to business owners, developers and contractors who develop in Oshkosh as it reduces
the amount of time it may take business owners, developers and contractors to obtain approvals
as the contractor can come to the City for approval instead of the State. This designation also
requires that the city adopt additional state statutes for Commercial Building Code and One-
and Two-Family Dwellings within Chapter 7 of the Municipal Code, Electrical Code in Chapter
11 and Plumbing in Chapter 20.

Please note that there is another RFP that the City has released concurrently in addition to this
RFP for services to conduct a thorough assessment of its development review process to
improve internal processes, establish consistent outcomes, and identify improvements to
streamline the overall review process. The city will permit a consultant to submit a proposal in
response to both RFPs.
B. OBJECTIVES
The City seeks proposals from qualified individuals or firms to provide professional
services to conduct a thorough review and evaluation of the Inspections Division required
permits, fee structure, municipal building codes, and establish on-going procedures to
facilitate implementation and improve service delivery. The selected Consultant shall work
closely with City staff to: 1) evaluate the City’s existing permit fee structure and
recommend improvements; 2) audit the municipal code chapters that are administered by
Inspections Division staff and provide recommendations for improvements; 3) evaluate the
permits that the City requires compared to permits that other municipalities may or may
not require which may put the City at a disadvantage of attracting investment; 4) establish
implementation procedures for the agreed-upon changes; 5) determine if the City is using
best practices to communicate expectations and requirements to the private development
community during projects; and, 6) engage with internal and external stakeholders aligned
with the permitting process.
Consultant recommendations should be supported by best practices or evidence-based
operational practices. See the Scope of Services below for a more detailed list of objectives.
C. PROJECT TEAM
City staff members from various city departments, with participation from private
developers, contractors, engineers, architects and/or community economic development

B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
By statute, the city has limited Combination "Class B" liquor licenses that may be issued. Currently, no
remaining combination "Class B" licenses are available under the city's statutory quota. In addition to
quota licenses, the statute provides for certain classes of "reserve" licenses. A municipality gains reserve
licenses by increases in population and may be eligible for certain other types of reserve licenses under
specific sections of the Statutes. The City of Oshkosh has gained approximately ten (10) reserve licenses
available at $10,000 for increases in population since 1997 when the state quota came into effect. The
City also has two other reserve licenses available in an area known as the premier economic
development district (PEDD). The PEDD licenses have a cost of $30,000.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
Recently, El Komedero Mexican Grill, LLC, located at the former Los Jaripeos building on North Main
Street, completed the application, completed the required inspections, and paid all the appropriate
fees for a Reserve Combination "Class B" Liquor License.
Attached is the application for the license. Please contact City Clerk Bartlett if you have any questions.

Thanks folks!
And good info.
It’s good to see that the numbers Kelly and Mark and I discussed were actually pretty close to correct.
Per Tony’s email below, it looks like 60% of cases were initiated by SCF either directly or indirectly (as I
know inspectors often look for other nearby violations on every call). If 14% of those 60% are not actual
violations…that is a lot! I wonder though, what is the metric (and not looking to direct staff…I’ll ask in
person so no need for Tony to look into it now)…I’d venture in that 86% are the ‘violation corrected’
responses as well (which is the vast majority of complaints). Most of those are parking or trash…and
most of those appear to both harmless, and in the cases that I’ve spoken to the folks involved,
retaliatory.
As I said last night, I don’t think we need to get rid of scf necessarily…just that it wastes a ton of $ and
we should work to fix that part.
Can you confirm this will be on 2/11 agenda?
Again, appreciate!
thanks,

Hi Kris (and other Council Members via Bcc to provide background),
As I mentioned to you last night after the meeting, I believe your heart is
in the right place by trying to eliminate the abuse that staff sometimes
experience with a small number of these software users, but I believe that
the positives this tool provides far outweigh the negatives.
As Tony explains in this attached email, SeeClickFix (SCF) is valuable
software that staff use daily, in a variety of departments, to interface with
our citizenry in an efficient and transparent manner.
I know that you took the time to speak to him which is very much
appreciated. I also know that he is very proud of his work and the work
we do here for the community which is evidenced by his thorough
response to my request to summarize your discussion.
With all this in mind, if you have a chance before this is discussed at the
2/11 Council meeting during Council Member statements, please review
his summary as well as the links he provided that illustrate the dialogue
held with the Council when it was implemented.
I hope this is helpful.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions and thank you
for your consideration.

Subject: FW: Future agenda items.
Fitz,
Per your request this summarizes our discussion, the information I also
shared with Council Member Larson on Monday, January 13th, and my
thoughts regarding this matter.
As you know, this all is in response to Council Member Larson’s desire to
discontinue the city’s use of SeeClickFix (SCF) software.
In my call to Council Member Larson, I described how and why we began
subscribing to SCF in April of 2017 in an effort for our organization to
more efficiently and effectively respond to citizen requests (especially
when multiple departments may be involved) and also based on the
Council’s desire for our organization to better engage the citizenry, while
also improving the transparency of our actions. Past meeting discussions
regarding SCF can be found here:
1. Introduced to Council (discussion only) at April 11, 2017
meeting
(1:24:58 Meeting Time Stamp)
2. SCF Workshop held on April 25, 2017
I also described that in conjunction with our implementation of the SCF
mobile app, we rebranded it’s functionality as “ConnectOshkosh” in order
to incorporate other city services onto a mobile platform. Examples
include: NoMowMay, POLCO, Volunteer applications, registration to
speak at Common Council meetings, Special Event information, and
access to various city web sites.
As described at the April 2017 meeting and workshop previously listed,
the app enables city residents to view, report, comment, and vote on a
variety of city issues. Residents can choose to receive notifications about
issues located in their neighborhood and / or their area of interest. This
app also provides for non-emergency city issue reporting 24 hours a day /
7 days a week.
Council Member Larson expressed concerns regarding complaints
forwarded to Inspections, the misuse of SCF by citizens, and his belief that
4
the direct communication via phone or email would eliminate
unnecessary investigations. As a result of these concerns, I checked with
Community Development Director Kelly Nieforth regarding SCF
Inspections volume. The number of 2024 complaints generated by SCF
accounted for approximately 25% of the total Inspections violations.
Another 35% of the violations recorded were a result of inspector initiated
cases. Approximately 86% of the SCF complaints were confirmed as
violations.
In speaking with Kelly, she indicated that many of the inspector initiated
complaints, actually resulted from investigating an initial SCF issue
nearby. If an inspector sees a violation at the house next door, they
address that as well. Kelly also added that another feature of SCF that has
been complimented on by our citizenry related to complaints Inspections
receives involve the ability for tenants to report issues anonymously,
without fear of potential retribution from their landlords.
As you know the purpose of SCF was to streamline issue tracking from
identification to resolution. It assigns tasks directly to the relevant
department(s), minimizing response times and ensuring accountability
through automated status updates for residents. SCF provides valuable
analytics and insights, allowing us to identify recurrent issue and
prioritize resource allocation effectively. Data dashboards facilitate
informed decision making processes to address and anticipate community
needs. Community usage (2,478 complaints in 2024) indicates high
satisfaction with SCF, enhancing our reputation as a responsive and tech-
savvy municipality dedicated to public service excellence. We have seen
significant growth in the platform usage year after year since its inception.
According to the SCF Daily Cities Performance Dashboard, the City of
Oshkosh currently ranks 239th out of 627 participating cities nationwide,
ahead of such cites as Chula Vista, CA, Raleigh, NC, Wichita, KS, Salt
Lake City, UT, Los Angeles, CA, and New York, NY. This metric is
designed to demonstrate performance and effectiveness by illustrating
issues resolved in a timely manner. The City of Oshkosh ranked 180 th for #
of users, watch areas, reports and comments among all participating cities
nationwide.
In summary, continuing our relationship with SCF promotes the
expectation of operational efficiency at a high degree and strengthens our
commitment to community centric service delivery. I am confident that
retaining this platform aligns with both our strategic goals and our
ongoing efforts to harness technology for improved civic interaction.

Good morning Councilor Larson,
I will share your request to add this
item to the next Council agenda
with Kami in the City Manager’s
office.
For the amount of money that we
spend on See, Click, Fix complaints,
I will need to work with staff to
figure out an average amount of
time that we spend per complaint
but it will be a very rough estimate
as all complaints are different. I may
not be able to provide the
information until after the new year
due to staff vacations over the
holidays.
Thanks and have a Merry
Christmas!

Hi folks!
Seems like a good time of year to
address a couple issues while there
aren’t a million other things pending.
10
Feel free to add to agenda as future
item and I can address as needed:
See Click Fix!
Kelly and I have already discussed this,
as did Mark and I for a bit. I believe it is
time for it to go.
Kelly I am sure you will recall our
conversation about the way this
’service’ is being misused. I was blown
away when I learned that our
inspectors are spending tax payer
dollars investigating low tire pressure in
vehicles in driveways just because a
neighbor reported it. I fully understand
that there is no choice in that matter, as
reports need to be looked at, but the
way SCF is designed there is
unfortunately no way for the inspector
to explain to folks that they cannot deal
with that sort of issue. Further, the fact
that pics need to be taken, and reports
filed for every incident makes this a
massive waste of resources. Kelly I
believe you told me that there are
about 2000 ‘complaints’ filed per year,
and more than half are now via SCF
(and there would be no reason to
presume that if we do nothing this
number would not continue to go up).
I think time to go back to phone or
email for complaints, so inspectors can
then have a line of communication and
not use funds for items that do not
involve inspections.
If you’d like to help in the interim, it
would be beneficial to know for this
conversation how much money we
spend annually on investigating
complaints so we know how much
might be saved by going back to doing
this in a more reasonable way.
Holler with any questions, Merry
Christmas to you both, and thanks for
all you do!

SUB JEC T:SUB JEC T :Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers for Sampling Plan and Sewer Use
Ordinance Update ($47,522)
B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) operates under Wisconsin Pollution Discharge
Elimination System Permit No. WI-0025038-09-1 issued by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Wastewater coming into the WWTP incudes discharges from 27 significant industrial users and 6 sanitary
districts located in 3 neighboring townships. The City has an approved industrial pretreatment program,
which includes the requirement to establish legal authority in its Sewer Use Ordinance.
The City last revised its Sewer Use Ordinance in 2022, but ongoing negotiations with its surrounding sanitary
districts have prompted City staff to want a full review of its Sewer Use Ordinance and bring it to current
standards. One of the changes the City intends to make is establishing an updated definition of its
residential waste strength.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
The Department of Public Works requested a proposal from Carollo Engineers (Carollo) to provide
assistance in developing a sampling plan and recommended updates to the City's Sewer Use
Ordinance. Carollo will develop sampling plan that will help the City implement a sampling program in
residential and commercial sectors within its sewer system. Data collected during the sampling program
will allow the City to establish typical background concentrations of parameters of concern in the City's
wastewater. These definitions can then be codified in the City's Sewer Use Ordinance. Carollo will also
develop recommended updates to bring it up to date and in line with current standards.

Carollo was chosen for these services due to their vast experience with this type of work. The cost of
these services is estimated not to exceed $47,522 and will be funded through the Wastewater Utility
Operating Budget (Account #05511940-6401/Disposal Plant-PS - Engineer/Survey/Appraisal.
