CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION FOR COLLINS TRUCK STOP
NARRATIVE FOR PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE
L
Proposed Use of Prooerty. The historic use of the property has been as a
truck stop for the lost forty plus years. This included towing, repair of
autos/frucks, food service¡ sale of auio/truck ports, sale of gasoline, sale of
general merchandise, truck weighing and washing, sales of used autos/trucks,
and storage of trucks and trailers. Due to Highway 76 reconstruction, the
property has lost its frontage road access from the new Highway 45. As such,
the property'svalue as a full scale truck stop has diminished. A redevelopment
of the property focusing more on the repair and ports soles would be more
conducive to its now limited Highway 41 access; since gas and general auto
merchandise sales have significantly decreased due to traffic decrease.
The proposed future use of the property would be ii} a truck stop with fuel and
servic;e for autos and trucks, and all accessory uses as historically been offered
as itemized above, {ii} iwenfy four hour wrecker service for towing, (iii) used
auto and truck soles, and (iv) new and used auto and truck parts sales.
There would be no outdoor dismantling of any vehicles. Since towing facilities
often tow disabled and wreckeid cars, (including upon request of the City of
Oshkosh Police) Loren's would have to dispose of such unclaimed vehicles.
These vehicles would be dismantled inside the building, with salvageabl'e parts
inventory and stored inside, and the vehicle hull taken to the auto scraper. No
vehide hulls would be stored outside. There would be a fenced in area for
storage of towed in vehicles, and secured storage for vehicles awaiting repairs,
with unclaimed vehicles dismantled by Loren's as set forth above. Outdoor
storage of towed vehicles would be limited to 90 days until titles to vehicles
could be obtained if they are not claimed by the owners.
The City of Oshkosh has hundreds of disabled, wrecked and abandoned
vehicles v.rhich are towed every year and need to be disposed of. this is an
efficient method of such disposable. loren's is on the City of Oshkosh towing
rotation.
Existing Use of the Prooerty. The'property is currently used as a truck stop
business, (as described above) including, towing, and repair of trucks and
automobiles.
Identification of Strudures on the Property and Their Relation to the Project.
The property currently has gas pumps, scale with a, scale house, a restaurant
and sales area, and a truck wash and service facility. The current sales area
would be remodeled and expanded to include the restaurant area (which
would be discontinued, and the current repair area would be expanded with a

new 70 by 150 foot building attached to the west 5ide of the existing repair
area. The odditjon would be used for repair, port storage and the dismoot/jog
of any wrecked Or unclaimed vehicles. The property would be landscaped as
shown on the attached plans, which is a deviation from the current landscape
ordinances due to (i) existing blacktop, and (ii) existing rood right-oF-ways.
4.
Projected Number of Residents. Employees ond Doily Customers, The doily
customers would stay approximately the some as historical use has been.
Depending on the daYI customers could number five to fifty. The number of
employees would increase from the current two to no more than twelve.
5.
Proposed Amount of Dwelling Units, Floor Area. Landscape Area and Parking
Area Expressed in Square Feet and Ac:reaQe. The entire site owned by the
Collinses is currently opproximately 13.5 acres. The site to be purchased by
applicant is approximately 6 acres. A land division would be necessary by the
ColHnses.
There are no dwelling units. There would be a small amount of additional
paving odded for parking as shown on site plan. Most of the property is
currently paved. The londscaped area would be as set forth on the attached
plans.
The planned addition to the building would be steel construction, two.toned in
color, with the exiting building pointed to match. A deviation from the
ordinances on construction material standards is requested due to the fad that
the addition will be in the "back" of the building, and not highly visible, The
color scheme will be the same as the existing building. The existing building
does not meet the current construction material ordinance.
6.
Effeds on Adioinina Prooerties. The main hours of operation would be 7:00
a.m. to 7:00 p.m. There would be twenty four hour towing available. There
would be no increase in the noise, glare, order¡ fumes vibrations¡ etc. from
current use and historical use.
7.
SlJrroundina land Uses. To the east is Highwoy 41. To the west is vacant
land used as farming. To the south is vacant land used as forming. To the
north is vacant land used for forming.
Compatibility of the Proposed Use with Ad¡acent and Other Properties in the
Area. Since the property is surrounded by vacant land and highway,
compatibility is excellent, Allfhesurrounding land is zoned M-l .
Traffic Generation. Current traffic is off the Highway 41 frontage road
calfed Green Volley and the east/west rood called Fountain. There would be
no change in that traffic. There would be no additional tr~Hic generated since
19
the historical use as a truck stop will not be materially changed from a traffic
standpoint.
10.
Any Other Information Pertinent to Adequate Understanding of Intended~
and its Relation to Near-by Properties, Due to the reconstruction of Hwy 110
to Hwy 45 and the resulting cut-off of the frontoge rood access from Hwy 411
this property is in jeopardy of becoming blighted. Its desirability as Q truck stop
is greatly diminished. It needs to be redeveloped with new uses that do not
need the Hwy 41 on and off romp accessibility, The proposed uses would
reiain the property's general character as 0 truck stop, but would modernize its
uses given its now limited highway accessibility, The uses are very compatible
with the area, given the vacant properties surrounding the subject property,
and the historical use of the property as on automobile and truck related
services to Hwys 41 and 45,
