Subject: Paine Center Allyn, One more note, The program as stated in the zoning approval lists max. class time as 2 1/2 hours. An outdoor play area is not required. If kids are there for more than 3-hours, HHS will require an enclosed outdoor play area. This area would be to the west of the classrooms and would be fenced in. The building would still be within the fire department 150' requirement, but the fenced enclosure would prevent direct access to the west face of the building unless they can get through the fence. Is this something you would like addressed in the letter? Kenneth J. Koziczkowski Architect Ganther Construction Office: 920.426.4774 x27 Cell: 920.216.3711 8/22/2007 Page 1 of3 Dannhoff, Allyn J.

From: Aaron Sherer, Paine Art Center and Gardens [mailto:Aaron@thepaine.org] Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 9:30 AM To: Ken Koziczkowski Subject: FW: Educational Program at the Paine Hi Ken, Thanks for all of your work on sorting this out. The Paine has a conditional use permit to operate the 1313 Elmwood property as an "Arts Center" and this program falls within that use. I was told by the City Planning Department that our ability to operate this program is the same as a church's ability to operate a day care. This gets a little confusing, though, but we're not really operating a day care. The program will be an arts-based educational program for 4-year-olds with 2 1/2 hour sessions (not "day" care). However, the school district/state funding requires that the facilities running the programs be licensed as day cares. The letter below confirms the City Planning Department's allowance of the program. So, we should be all set from this standpoint. Thanks, Aaron From: Buck, David [mailto:dbuck@cLoshkosh.wi.us] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 10:20 AM To: Aaron Sherer, Paine Art Center and Gardens Cc: Burich, Darryn Subject: Educational Program at the Paine Dear Mr. Sherer, This e-mail shall act as a written statement regarding the ability to establish an arts-based educational program, as described within the e-mail string below at the Paine Art Center and Gardens at 1410 Algoma Blvd and 1313 Elmwood Avenue. The properties (#s 12-0068-0000 & 12-0180-0000) is currently zoned R-1C: Single Family Central Residence District that allows, with conditional use approval, an art center. Resolution 91-399: Conditional Use Permit allows the art center use and accessory uses customarily incidental and accessory to that use. Please See Section 30-18 in the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code (website www.ci.oshkosh.wLus)forfulllist of uses permitted and conditional within the R-!C District. 8/22/2007 Page 2 of3 The "arts-based educational program" is anticipated to be managed in collaboration with Arts for Kids and includes instruction and education of a limited number of children within the existing Paine Art Center campus. The City of Oshkosh Community Development Department considers this use and the associated space within the Paine Art Center campus as accessory and incidental to the principal Art Center uses on the site. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this e-mail, please do not hesitate to contact me. David L. Buck Principal Planner City of Oshkosh 215 Church Avenue PO Box 1130 Oshkosh, Wisconsin 54901 Phone: 920.236.5062 Fax: 920.236.5053 dbuck(a}ci.oshkosh. wi. us -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Sherer, Paine Art Center and Gardens [mailto:Aaron@thepaine.org] Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 9: 13 AM To: dbuck@cLoshkosh.wLus Subject: Letter About New Program Attn: David Buck City of Oshkosh Dear David: I am writing to inform you about a new educational program at the Paine Art Center and Gardens and to request your assurance that the program is acceptable in relation to the organization's Conditional Use Permit to operate as an Arts Center. In August of2007, the Paine will launch a new arts-based educational program for 4-year-old children. The program will be operated in our facility at 1313 Elmwood. This building has an existing large parking lot and an existing 2,000 sq. ft. educational center to readily accommodate the program. The Paine does not intend to make any changes to the exterior of the building or surrounding property to accommodate the program. The program will serve a maximum of twenty (20) children per two-and-a-halfhour session with a maximum of two (2) sessions per weekday; for a maximum of five (5) hours of instruction and forty (40) children served per day. The program is incidental to and consistent with the purpose of the Paine Art Center and Gardens as established by founders Nathan and Jessie Paine in 1946. The Paine's Deed of Gift states that the organization operate "as a charitable foundation of the highest educational and cultural value for the benefit not only of the people of the City of Oshkosh, Wisconsin and its educational institutions - but also for all interested persons and educational institutions." This program is also consistent with the organization's incorporation in 1946 as 501(c)(3) non-profit educational institution. The Paine seeks to maximize its distinctive combination of resources to inspire a wide range of innovative educational programs creating multiple opportunities for exploration and learning. This program will serve 4-year-old children and engage them in educational activities related to the art, architecture, and gardens of the Paine. The program will be operated by Arts for Kids, a 8/22/2007 Page 3 of3 specialty child care center with expertise in arts instruction for preschool age children. Funding is provided by the State of Wisconsin and administered by the Oshkosh Area School District. Importantly, this collaboration enables the Paine to offer this high-quality arts educational experience to four-year-old children for free. The children will not have to pay any fees to participate. The Paine Art Center and Gardens believes this program is consistent with the organization's Conditional Use Permit from the City of Oshkosh to operate as an Arts Center. As the Paine's building at 1313 Elmwood has already existed as an educational center and the size of the facility and amenities can easily accommodate this program, we believe that the operation of this program will not significantly change our activity and impact with the neighborhood. If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to contact me directly at asherer@thepaine.org (920) 235-6903 ext. 26. Sincerely, Aaron Sherer Executive Director Paine Art Center and Gardens 1410 Algoma Blvd. Oshkosh, WI 54901 8/22/2007 .,' Page 1 of 1 Dannhoff, Allyn J. From: Burich, Darryn Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 11 :02 AM To: Dannhoff, Allyn J.; Buck, David Cc: Kinney, Jackson Subject: Paine Arts Based on our conversation this morning with the Paine Director and the person that will be running the program, I feel there is enough involvement with the Paine to qualify as an accessory use to meet the existing CUP. David will be issuing a zoning occupancy permit for this use. That's it, my word is final and there will be no more discussion on this topic. Darryn 8/15/2007
