property for a permitted purpose or would render conformity with such restrictions unnecessarily
burdensome." He did not feel there was anything that qualified as a hardship and could not support the
request.
Ms. Hentz indicated she wanted as much input from the board members as possible and was inclined to agree
with Mr. Wilusz but thought the property was unique in that the lot is small.
Mr. Cornell concurred with Mr. Wilusz and said the different between an 18 ft garage and a 19' 2' (14") was
not worth the time to discuss it.
Mr. Carpenter asked if there could not be a floor if the garage was 18 ft. high.
Mr. Muehrer said that was correct, no upper floor is allowed. The guideline is 18' and one story.
Mr. Carpenter referred to the applicant's reference to his low basement and the lack of workspace and
storage in the house. He asked what the dimensions of the garage would be.
Mr. Muehrer said 24 ft. X 17 ft.
Mr. Carpenter asked if the garage could be any bigger.
Mr. Muehrer said no, it would infringe on setback guidelines if it were larger.
Mr. Carpenter said 24 ft. x 17 ft. gives just barely enough room for 2 cars. He thought the small size of the
lot and the fact that there is no useable basement in the house constituted a hardship. He asked if the other
carriage house had a floor in it.
Mr. Muehrer presumed it did.
Mr. Carpenter asked if the other garages in the area were two-car garages.
Mr. Muehrer said yes.
Mr. Penney asked why two stories were not allowed.
Mr. Muehrer thought it was to prevent the owner from turning it into an apartment.
Mr. Wilusz asked if he had a two-story garage without a floor could he create access to the second area.
Mr. Muehrer said he would need to consult with the inspection department to answer that question.
Ms. Hentz mentioned if there were rafters in the garage he would potentially be able to store things without
even having to construct an access. He could just use a ladder. She asked Mr. Brayton what types of things
he wanted to store.
Mr. Brayton said, bicycles, seasonal items such as lawnmowers furniture, carpets, etc. He indicated that with
the bed and breakfast oftentimes they would be switching out furniture in the rooms. He went on to say that
the basement is damp and miserable to be in.

Ms. Hentz asked that because the last variance request was approved, this current request would be
considered the first request not the third as indicated on the staff report.
. Mr. Muehrer confirmed that he had consulted with other .staff and determined that was correct.
Mr. Muehrer presented the item.
Mr. Mark Showers, 3011 Mockingbird Way, Oshkosh, petitioner and owner, and Mr.Charles Showers, 619
W. 19th Ave, Oshkosh were present and passed out new drawings for the building. Mr. Charles Showers
indicated that the Public Works Department had concerns regarding parking lot drainage. The new code
requires the driveway to be 120 feet from the corner and it is only 68 feet away. That is why the entrance to
the parking area has been reduced from 24 feet to 12 fe~t. The size. of the handicapped parking stall was
standard width of 9 feet and needed to be 14 feet wide so the grassy area on 6th Avenue to the west was
reduced in depth from 14 feet to 9 feet. Also the building can be right up to the sidewalk but that includes
the overhands so the building needed to be moved 2' in from the sidewalk. Mr. Mark Showers indicated he
had already signed paperwork with the Public Works Dept. allowing the city access for the handicapped
sidewalk.
Mr. Charles Showers said the building is improved because of being 2 feet in from the sidewalk and they are
now able to have a basement under the building.
Mr. Carpenter said that he was bothered by the fact that the building was going to be right up against the
sidewalk. He is pleased that it is moved in by 2 feet.
Mr. Cornell commented tl;1at there had been much discussioJ;1 about the project at the previous presentations
and would move to accept the item.
Motion by Cornell to approve the request with the condition that property owner shall cooperate with
the Department of Public Works in providing additional area for the construction of sidewalk and
handicap ramps at the corner ofW 6th Avenue and Ohio St.
Seconded by Carpenter.
Motion approved 5-0. Ayes-Wilusz/Carpenter/Cornell/ Penney/ Hentz. Nays- None.
Finding of Facts:
There is no harm to the neighborhood
The property has limitations due to size and corner location.
Project will be aesthetically appealing and will enhance the area.
There will be improved safety with the handicapped sidewalk access.

ITEM II: 601 W. 6m AVENUE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
It should be noted this is the third hearing for this application. The most recent hearing
occurred on June 13, 2007 and was approved 5-0. Mark Showers-applicant has altered
his proposal and is requesting the third hearing.
Mark Showers-applicant/owner, requests the following variances to permit the creation of
a new single-story office building with off-street parking:
Required (Section 30-35 (B)(I)(c))

The subject 0.14 acre (approx. 6,155 sq. ft.) property is zoned C-3 Central Commercial
District and is located on the southwest corner at the intersection of W. 6th Avenue and
Ohio Street. The lot is rectangular in shape (approximately 68'x 90') and the general area
can be characterized as mixed commercial-residential.
ANALYSIS
. In reviewing a variance request, the following questions should be addressed:
When considering an area variance, the question of whether unnecessary hardship
or practical difficulty exists is best explained as "whether compliance with
the strict letter of the restrictions governing area, setbacks, frontage, height,
bulk or density would unreasonably prevent the owner. from using the
property for a permitted purpose or would render conformity with such
restrictions unnecessarily burdensome."
Are there any unusual or unique physical limitations of the property, which create
a hardship?
Will granting of a variance result in harm to the public interest?
The applicant is requesting variances from the Zoning Ordinance to allow the
development of a new single-story office building with off-street parking as well as an
attached storage/garage facility. The applicant's proposed plans are to raze the existing
buildings located at 601 W. 6th Avenue because of their dilapidated condition. According
to City Records, the existing two-story, 2,000 sq. ft. principal structure was built in 1894
and the existing utility shed (176 sq. ft.) and detached garage (484 sq. ft.) were
constructed in 1950.
According to the applicant, the variance requests will not have an adverse effect on
surrounding properties because the existing build and garages are in very poor condition.
The existing garages and principal structure are located up to the property's lot lines.
Conversely, the proposed garage and principal structure will be setback farther away
from the lot line. The applicant is also proposing a new maintenance free fence (details
such as materials and design have not been submitted) along the entire west and south lot

ITEM II

lines to enhance surrounding properties and mitigate the visual impact of the commercial
structure on abutting residential properties.
In the applicant's opinion, the special conditions related to the subject lot that do not
apply to surrounding lots are the conflicting R-2 and C-3 districts. The applicant believes
hardships will be imposed if the variances are not granted because the existing building
will need to be razed eventually due to the major structural problems.
The proposed new single-story building would be setback 14' from the north lot line, 10'
from the south lot line, 2' from the east lot line, and feature approximatelyl,584 sq. ft. of
office space with an additional 780 sq. ft. of attached garage/storage area. Vehicular
access to the property would occur off of W. 6th Avenue. A four stall off street parking
area is proposed to the west of the office building, which would be setback 9' from the
north lot line and 2.8' from the west property line. A large asphalt driveway/platform
area would be used to access the garage and storage facility. The applicant is also
proposing a new fence along the south and west property lines to mitigate the visual
impact of the commercial use on the abutting residential properties. A 17'3"open
space/side yard area is proposed in the southwest portion of the property as well. The
most recent adjustments/changes to the variance requests are needed for two reasons.
First, the applicant must move the proposed building 2' off the east lot line to provide
room for eaves, soffit, and gutters. By moving the building 2' to the west, the proposed
garage/storage facility and off-street parking area are now two feet closer to the property
line and require further variance. The second reason for the modified plan is the
applicant must provide one (14'x 18') handicap accessible parking space for the
development. The additional 5' needed for this parking space would reduce the
transitional yard setback from the north lot line to 9'.
Staff does not object to the most recent requests. Ample side yard (west) still exists on
the property and the proposed 6' high fence along the west lot line will reduce the visual
impact of the commercial development. Likewise, the sightline along W. 6th Avenue will
not be interrupted as substandard setbacks are alfeady welfestabIlshed.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the information provided within this report, staff recommends approval of the
variances requested with the following condition:
a) The property owner shall cooperate with the Department of Public Works in
providing additional area for the construction of sidewalk and handicap ramps at
the comer ofW. 6th Avenue and Ohio Street.

It should be noted this is the second hearing for this application. The original hearing occurred on May 9,
2007 and was denied 0-5. Charles Showers-applicant has altered his proposal and is requesting the second
hearing.
Charles Showers-applicant, Kelly J. Burnett-owner, request tne following variances to permit the
creation of a new single-story office building with off-street parking:
Required (Section 30-35 (B)(l)(c))

The subject 0.14 acre (approx. 6,155 sq. ft.) property is zoned C-3 Central Commercial District and is
located on the southwest corner at the intersection of W. 6th Avenue and Ohio Street. The lot is
rectangular in shape (approximately 68'x 90') and the general area can be characterized as mixed
commercial- residential.
Mr. Muehrer presented the item.
Mr. Charles Showers, 619 W. 19th Ave., applicant said the previous drawing for the building was torn
up. He had met with Todd Muehrer and David Buck, Planners with the City of Oshkosh and together
they had created something even better than what had been previously proposed. All the asphalt that
was not going to be used for driveway/parking was eliminated and turned into grass. He feels they
addressed all the concerns that the board had.
Mr. Carpenter asked if Mr. Showers was now the owner.
Mr. Showers said his son Mark, is actually the owner.
Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes
June 13, 2007

Mr. Muehrer asked if Kelly Burnett was still the owner.
Mr. Showers said, no, they closed on the property the previous Friday because they were concerned
that Mr. Burnett would decide to increase the price.
Mr. Penney asked what is the existing property's use.
Mr. Showers said it is an old building. Someone used to live upstairs but there was no business
downstairs due to the lack of plumbing on the first floor. A renovator did take a look at the building
but he said it could not be saved. A meeting with an architect is scheduled for next week to create the
actual plans.
Mr. Nielsen reviewed the old design versus the new design. He commented that moving the garage to
the backside improved the view by adding more green space. The office space is now 66' x 24',
making it longer than the previously submitted plan of26' x 52' and the garage was 26'x32' but is now
26'x 30'. It fits into the area well. The Ohio Street area needs revitalization and this would be a good
kick-start. It is laid out very well.
Mr. Cornell commented that the area is definitely improved with the added green space on all four
corners. It is always better to be able to get away from asphalt.
Mr. Carpenter agreed that the result is greatly improved. He was pleased that Mr. Showers worked
with City staff to create something that could be recommended to them. He asked staff if there was a
reason why one side has 4'8" setback and Ohio Street has none.
Mr. Muehrer said there is no setback requirement on Ohio St.
Mr. Carpenter said he is always concerned about blind corners.
Mr. Muehrer explained that the corner is a controlled intersection so there is not a problem with
vision for drivers. If it were not a controlled intersection there would be an issue.
Mr. Carpenter commented that he could see that it is better to have grass on other sides than on Ohio
St.
Mr. Muehrer said reducing the number of variance requests was a major concern. Since there is no
setback requirement on the Ohio Street side it was decided to move the building closest to Ohio St. so
that more green space could be on the west side of the building.
Mr. Nielsen asked if Mr. Showerswas only planning on one door.
Mr. Showers said there will only be one door for business traffic but there will be a second door
coming out of the office in the back.
Mr. Penney asked if there would be an entry on Ohio St.

Mr. Showers said no. He commented further that there will be construction to widen Ohio St and the
sidewalk size will be reduced. Sixth St will also be under construction up to 30 feet from the corner.
We know we will be in a bad spot because of the construction but we want that corner.
Ms. Hentz said she will support the request and thanked the applicant for his persistence to get the
project approved and for working closely with city staff. Ms. Hentz thanked staff as well for putting
in the time with the applicant necessary to have a positive result. Often, people are turned down by
the board and leave disgruntled and don't pursue solving the issues as Mr. Showers did.
Mr. Showers said he was very impressed with Todd Muehrer and David Buck for their hard work and
commented on how they had worked through their lunch hour. He extended a personal thanks to .
them.
Mr. Penney moved to approve the request as presented.
Seconded by Mr. Carpenter.

2. Describe how the variance would not have an adverse effect on surrounding properties:
2. The variances will not have any adverse effect to the surrounding properties
because the. The proposed new <;>ffice building will enhance and improve the
surrounding properties. A new maintenance free fence will also be installed
along the south & west lot lines to further enhance the surrounding
properties.
3. Describe the special conditions that apply to your lot or structure that do not apply to surrounding lots or
structures:
3. The surrounding lots are of mixed zoning, fl.'om C-3 Central Commercial
District to R-2 Two Family Residential District. The properties existing
structures andlot and including the surrounding structures and lots do not
meet any of today' s new standards and existing codes. Any of the existing
structures and lots in the surrounding areas which need to be razed or
renovated will need variances. Our proposed plan, have kept the variances to
the very minimum and have improved the existing conditions.
4. Describe the hardship that would result if your variance were not granted:
4. The city planners have reviewed our approved vari$1ces and are making
these new recOlTIlnendations to further enhance the property. The hardship is
since the approval of the new variances we have razed the building.
