PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT JANUARY 6, 2026
ITEM 7: Specific Implementation Plan Amendment for a Ground Sign at 1064
West 20th Avenue (Multi-family Development)
Applicant: Randy Schmiedel – Intrepid Investments, LLC
Property owner: Adam Hertel – American Architectural Group
Action Requested: The petitioner requests a Specific Implementation Plan (SIP)
Amendment approval for a ground sign.
Applicable Ordinance: Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of
the Zoning Ordinance.
Background Information and Property Location: The subject site consists of a recently
constructed multi-family development on a 1.52-acre lot on the north side of West 20th
Avenue, west of Knapp Street. The site is zoned Neighborhood Mixed Use District with
Planned Development Overlay (NMU-PD). An SIP was approved in 2024 for a multi-
family development with a total of 18 units on the subject site (Resolution 24-384).
Existing Land Use Zoning
Vacant NMU-PD
Adjacent Land Use and Zoning
Existing Uses Zoning
North Single-family residential SR-5
South Airport & Commercial I
East Multi-family residential NMU
West Multi-family residential NMU
Use/Site Design: There are no changes being proposed to the existing multi-family use.
The only proposed change to the site is a new ground sign along West 20th Avenue.
The applicant is proposing a 7-foot tall, 18 square foot dual post sign. The sign is within
the maximum height for a dual post sign of 10 foot and maximum area of 25 square feet
for the NMU District. As proposed, the sign will have a 10-foot front setback (West 20th
Avenue), where a 15 foot setback is required and 1.25 foot side setback (south), where a
7.5 foot setback is required. The sign will be placed outside of the 10’ X 10’ driveway
corner vision clearance triangle.

ITEM 7 - SIP Amendment – 1064 W. 20th Ave.
According to the applicant, the
proposed sign placement is necessary
to ensure clear identification for
emergency response and provide
required address signage at the
entrance of the development. Staff is
supportive of Base Standard
Modifications (BSM) to allow the
proposed setback reductions as it is
needed to provide visible
identification of the site from West 20th
Avenue. Specifically, the narrow right-of-way frontage (30 ft.) and existing driveway
limit available area for sign placement that meets setback requirements. The reduced
setback is also appropriate as neighboring properties to the east and west have reduced
front pavement setback to approximately 6’ – 7’ and the existing Oshkosh Housing
Authority sign is also placed within the side yard setback.

ITEM 7 - SIP Amendment – 1064 W. 20th Ave.
Staff has been made aware that the
proposed sign has been constructed
without permit approval. If this request
is approved, the applicant will be
charged a late permit fee. If this request
is denied, the applicant will be required
to remove the sign.
Landscaping: No additional landscaping
has been proposed with this request. To
offset the requested BSMs for reduced
setback, staff is recommending that the
applicant provide a minimum of 25
shrub landscaping points near the sign
(example: 5 medium evergreen shrubs).
Findings: 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 and intent of this Chapter as the proposed sign placement will provide
necessary identification of the site from the public right-of-way.
(c) The proposed Planned Development project would maintain the desired
relationships between land uses, land use densities and intensities, and land use
impacts in the environs of the subject site as the proposes sign placement is
compatible with reduced setbacks on neighboring properties.
Recommendation/Conditions: Staff recommends approval of the SIP Amendment as
proposed with the findings listed above and the following conditions:
1. Base Standard Modification (BSM) to allow reduced front yard sign setback to 10
feet.
2. BSM to allow reduced side yard sign setback to 1.25 feet.
3. A minimum of 25 landscaping points shall be provided near the ground sign.
4. Final landscaping plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Department of
Community Development.
5. Except as specifically modified by this SIP Amendment, the terms and conditions
of the original SIP dated July 9, 2024 (Resolution 24-384) remain in full force and
effect.

Project Narrative – Aviation Condominiums – 20th Avenue
This development consists of 18 owner-occupied townhouse-style homes arranged within three separate
buildings. Building A includes eight units, while Buildings B and C each include five units. The homes
feature a mix of two-bedroom, two-bathroom, and three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath layouts. Each
residence has a private entrance and an attached one- or two-car garage.
The property is located within a mixed-use neighborhood that includes commercial buildings, apartments,
condominiums, and single-family homes to the north.
Each townhouse has its own unique address, identified by building and unit number. To ensure clear
identification for emergency response, an address sign is required at the entrance of the development.
Because the property lines are located approximately 24 to 30 inches from the curb of the private drive,
an amendment is requested to allow the sign to be placed within the property setback. An additional
amendment is also requested to permit a larger sign that can display all 18 addresses in accordance with
Fire Department requirements for size and spacing.
Thank you for your consideration.
