ITEM 13: Final Plat for the Creation of a 30-Lot Single-Family Residential Subdivision
West of Mockingbird Way and East of Windsong Terrace (Fifth Addition to
Casey’s Meadow South)
Applicant: Chet Wesenberg
Owner: Casey’s Meadow, LLC
Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Requirements governing platting are located within Article
XIII, Subdivisions; Sections 30-441 through 30-446 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Property Location and Background Information:
The subject site is situated east of Clairville Road
and west of the current boundaries of Casey’s
Meadow South, initially developed in 2005. On
August 12, 2025, the Council approved a 91-lot
preliminary plat for the Fifth Addition to Casey’s
Meadow South (Res 25-433). This preliminary plat
will be developed in three phases, each containing
approximately 30 lots. The Fifth Addition
encompasses portions of two lots, totaling 8.655
acres, both currently vacant or used for agricultural
purposes.
The lots are zoned as Single Family Residential-5
(SR-5), aligning with the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan’s recommendation for light density land use.
The surrounding area is mostly undeveloped or
agricultural with exception of Casey’s Meadow South development to the east. There are several
rural-style, single-family uses along Clairville Road and a cable service provider facility on the
west side of Clairville Road.

Land Use Recommendation Land Use
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Recommendation Light Density Residential
The final plat focuses on the northern third of the pre-platted area, proposing the creation of 30
single-family lots. These lots range in size from 7,320 square feet (0.168 acres) to 15,770 square feet
(0.362 acres). Lot widths vary between 61 feet and approximately 95 feet, with depths ranging
from 120 feet to around 197 feet. All proposed lots comply with SR-5 minimum code
requirements regarding width (minimum 60 feet), depth (minimum 100 feet), and area (minimum
7,200 square feet), aligning with the character of previously developed lots to the east. With a
proposed total of 30 dwelling units on the 8.655-acre site, the development exhibits a low density
of approximately 3.5 units per acre (one unit per 12,567 square feet). The SR-5 zoning district
allows a maximum density of five units per acre, or one unit per 8,712 square feet.
Street Connection
The plat includes new right-of-way dedications, featuring the extension of Mockingbird Way
approximately 580 feet westward. This extension will connect to a proposed 225-foot extension of
Windsong Terrace, which is to be constructed by the city. Once connected, Windsong Terrace will
be renamed Mockingbird Way. This extension will establish a crucial connection to Clairville
Road, enhancing access to a collector-functioning street and reducing traffic through the
neighborhood to the east.
Two new north-south streets are shown on the plat. The first, Autumn Lane, will run from
Mockingbird Way south 525 feet. A connection will be made to Casey Trail in future phases. The
second north-south street, named Lyla Lane, will start from Mockingbird Way heading south 252
feet connecting to Casey Trail in a future phase.
Engineering & Storm Water Management
The Department of Public Works has evaluated the availability of city utilities to support the
development. It was reported that city water and sanitary sewer services can be extended from all
adjacent streets. The water main will be further extended along Mockingbird Way and Windsong
Terrace to connect with a new water main on Clairville Road, scheduled for construction by the
city in 2026. This extension will create a crucial water loop, ensuring continuous water service for
the entire Casey’s Meadow South development. Preliminary civil designs for utilities, street
construction, and stormwater management have been submitted and are currently under review.
Approved plans will be required for each phase of the final plat development.
Police and Fire Departments and the Oshkosh Area School District
The City Police and Fire Departments have reviewed the final plat and reported no issues with
servicing the proposed development. The Oshkosh Area School District has been informed of the
proposed subdivision and has not expressed concerns regarding the capacity to accommodate the
potential increase in student population.

Parkland Dedication
Parkland dedication for Casey’s Meadow South was fulfilled in the first phase, resulting in the
creation of Rusch Park. Rusch Park encompasses 42.31 acres, significantly exceeding the land
dedication requirement of 5.18 acres (225,500 square feet) as stipulated by the Subdivision
Regulations. These regulations require 1,100 square feet of parkland per lot. The entirety of
Casey’s Meadow South contains 205 single-family lots which equates to 225,500 square feet or
5.18 aces.
Street Lighting: The applicant submitted
a street lighting plan reviewed by the
Department of Public Works and the
Electrical Division. The plan proposes
five additional streetlights along newly
created streets. The plan conforms to City
standards for spacing, illumination
levels, and fixture type.
Terrace Trees: The applicant submitted a
terrace tree plan reviewed by the
Department of Public Works and the
Forestry Division. The plan identifies 40
terrace trees, providing a minimum of
one tree per lot as required by the Subdivision Regulations. Final tree placement may shift to
avoid conflicts with driveway aprons and utilities. The City Forester will coordinate with the
developer on final species selection consistent with the approved species list and site conditions.
Recommendation/Conditions: Staff recommends approval of the 30-lot Fifth Addition to Casey’s
Meadow South final plat with the following conditions:
1. All water, grading and drainage, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and paving plans shall be
approved by the Department of Public Works prior to Common Council Approval.
2. Final street terrace tree planting locations and species will be determined by the City
Forester.
