DATE: November 6, 2008
RE: Approval of Map Amendment to the Floodplain Zoning Ordinance to change the
Base Flood Elevation at 459 North Washburn Street (Plan Commission
Recommends Approval)
BACKGROUND
In early 2008, the property owner finished construction of a bridge over Sawyer Creek to connect
both sides of his property at 459 North Washburn Street. To accomplish this he had to bring in
fill, which in turn changed the base flood elevation (referred to as the regional flood on the
attached diagram) within the floodplain. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
requires local units of government to adopt the national floodplain map so any changes to the
national floodplain maps, such as this change in base flood elevation, must be approved as a map
amendment.
ANALYSIS
Following the construction of the bridge on the property, the applicant/owner contracted an
engineering company to analyze the changes to the floodplain boundaries and the base flood
elevations. The analysis determined that the physical limits of the floodplain are not affected but
base flood elevations within the floodplain will see a maximum increase of 0.018 feet and a
maximum decrease of -0.025 feet. These flood profile changes are affecting only the petitioner's
property with no affect on neighboring properties up or downstream.
FISCAL IMPACT
None anticipated.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission approved of this request at its October 21, 2008 meeting.
Approved,
City Manager

The floodplain is that land which has been or may be covered by floodwater during the regional
flood. The floodplain includes the floodway and floodfringe areas.
The floodway is the channel of a river or stream, and those portions of the floodplain adjoining
the channel required to carry the regional flood discharge. The floodway is the most dangerous
part of the floodplain -- it is associated with moving water.
The floodfringe is the portion of the floodplain outside of the floodway, which is covered by
flood water during the regional flood. The term, " floodfrnge" is generally associated with
standing water rather than flowing water. It is also that part of the floodplain in which
development is allowed subject to the floodplain development standards.
The regional flood is the same as the 100 -year flood, the 1 %o chance flood, or the base flood
(FEMA).
The regional flood elevation is the elevation determined to be representative of large floods
known to have occurred in Wisconsin or which may be expected to occur on a particular lake,
river, or stream at a frequency of 1 %o during any given year.
The flood protection elevation is an elevation which is 2 feet above the regional flood elevation.
ITEM: FLOODPLAIN ZONING MAP AMENDMENT: 459 NORTH WASHBURN
STREET
Plan Commission meeting of October 21, 2008.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Petitioner /Owner: Arthur Pommerening
Action(s) Requested:
Amendment to the City's Floodplain Zoning Map changing base flood elevations.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Zoning Ordinance 30- 49(A)(4): Any fill or floodplain
encroachment that obstructs flow, increasing flood height by 0.01 foot or more.
Background Information:
A bridge structure was constructed over Sawyer Creek at 459 North Washburn Street to access the
western portion of the property. Prior to the construction of said bridge, the petitioner petitioned the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide a Conditional Letter of Map Revision
( CLOMR) to the Floodplain Zoning Map and the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) adjusting the base
flood elevations listed, based not only on the proposed bridge but also the removal of a corrugated
metal pipe culvert and the Naslund bridge.
The process for floodplain map amendments is the applicant first applying for a Conditional Letter of
Map Amendment or Revision (CLOMA/CLOMR) from FEMA. Following the issuance of the
CLOMA/CLOMR based on an intended action, the applicant conducts the activity for which the
amendment is requested and conducts research on the affects of said activity. Results are then
submitted to FEMA in order to have an official Letter of Map Amendment or Revision
(LOMA/LOMR) issued which officially adjusts the FEMA Floodplain and FIRM Maps. The local
floodplain map amendment action is required because local municipalities are required to adopt both
the model Floodplain Zoning Ordinance and Floodplain Zoning Map to allow its citizens to be eligible
to participate in the national flood insurance programs. Therefore, in order for the City of Oshkosh to
provide community acknowledgment of base flood elevation changes as described within the CLOMR
and required for submittal of the LOMR, the City's Plan Commission must make recommendation on
the change and the City Council must adopt the change.
ANALYSIS
Following the construction of the bridge on the property located at 459 North Washburn Street, the
applicant and property owner contracted Davel Engineering, Inc. to perform an analysis on the changes
to the characteristics of the floodplain and floodway boundaries and the base flood elevations. This
analysis was conducted and it was determined that the physical limits of the floodplain will not be
affected but that the base flood elevations within the floodplain following the bridge construction will
see a maximum increase of 0.018 feet and a maximum decrease of -0.025 feet. It is important to note
that these flood profile changes are happening only within the boundaries of the petitioner's property
and have been determined not to have any affect on neighboring properties up or downstream. A letter
of confirmation by the State of WI Department of Natural Resources stating compliance with NR 116
has been submitted with the application material.
As the affects of the bridge construction can be considered negligible and are limited to minimal flood
profile changes on -site as referenced and documented in the CLOMR and statement of the DNR, staff
supports the floodplain amendment request.
RE COMMENDATION /CONDITIONS
The Department of Community Development recommends approval of the floodplain zoning map
amendment as requested.
The Plan Commission approved of the floodplain zoning map amendment as requested. The following
is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item.
Mr. Buck presented the request and explained the government process to initiate and complete a
floodplain map change. He further explained that the map change was not affecting the physical
boundaries of the floodplain, but were changing the base flood elevations on the petitioner's property
only and would not have any affect on neighboring properties up or downstream.
Motion by Propp to approve the floodplain zoning map amendment for property located at 459
North Washburn Street as requested.
Seconded by Fojtik. Motion carried 7 -0.

459 N. Washburn Street Floodplain Map Revision
Proiect Description
A bridge structure was constructed at 459 N. Washburn Street, owned by Mr. Art
Pommerening, to access the western portion of said property. The purpose of this
floodway map revision request is to obtain community acknowledgement for completion
of the FEMA letter of map revision (LOMR) process as part of the conditional LOMR
dated November 30, 2006. The LOMR is required to follow the conditional LOMA
based on as-built conditions of the bridge structure and any changes in base flood
elevations (BFE) associated with Mr. Pommerening's property (no changes occur beyond
the Pommerening property boundaries). These BFE changes are discussed in the
conditional LOMR letter. Accordingly, the bridge has negligible on -site ( Pommerening
Property) effects and no effects outside the limits of the Pommerening property to the
hydraulics of Sawyer Creek. This is confirmed with Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources approval of the hydraulic model. Enclosed are the floodplain map and as -built
map of the bridge.
The site development doesn't pertain to the application request such that the development
is to occur out of the floodplain. However, a short brief in accordance with the
application checklist is provided below.
Brief of Site Development
This undeveloped site, owned by Art Pommerening, has the proposed use for private
storage. Currently, two single story building structures (shed storage facilities) are being
constructed with associated driveway and storm water pond in accordance with City and
State approvals. The building footprints are 6,864 (0.16 acres) and 6,240 (0.14 acres)
square feet with driveway access. This private drive will have infrequent traffic with no
considerable effects on adjoining property owners. The development has been approved
by the City of Oshkosh.

Subject: Pommerening LOMR
David,
I spoke with Ken Hinterlong (FEMA) to discuss the Pommerening COOMR. After explaining the situation, he stated that a
CLOMR conditions are required to be completed if you are increasing the flood profile, which we are. The flood profile max
increase will be 0.018' and max decrease will be - 0.025' (on Art's property). The map change is not the controlling factor but
the change in base flood profile is ... thus requiring the CLOMR. However, I don't know how this would tie into the City's
ordinance for approval of a flood map revision as the floodplain map itself is not being revised.
Ken suggested that you may what to call Eric Kuklewski (312- 408 -5230) to hear what he has to say concerning municipal
requirements. I can call him if you wish, but it may be advantageous for you to get info in terms of the City's responsibilities.
Let me know.
Thanks

CERTIFIED MAIL
RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
The Honorable William Castle, Jr.
Mayor, City of Oshkosh
P.O. Box 1130
Oshkosh, WI 54903
Dear Mayor Castle:
IN REPLY REFER TO:
Case No.: 05- 05 -2241R
Community: City of Oshkosh, WI
Community No.: 550511
104
This responds to a request that the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) comment on the effects that a proposed project would have on the effective Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRRI) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community, in accordance
with Part 65 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations. In a letter dated February 23,
2005, Mr. John R. Davel, President, Davel Engineering, Inc, requested that FEMA evaluate the effects that
a proposed bridge and removal of an existing culvert on Mr. Arthur Pommerening's property, placement of
fill, evaluation of an existing private driveway bridge, revised hydraulic analysis, and updated
cross - sectional data, would have on the flood hazard information shown on the effective FIRM and FIS
report along Sawyer Creek.
The proposed bridge on Mr. Pommerening's property (proposed bridge) is a 42 -feet wide single clear span
brid and is located approximately 900 feet upstream of U.S. Highway 41 (U.S. 41). The existing culvert
to be removed from Mr. Pommerening's property is a double 24 -inch corrugated metal pipe culvert
(existing CMP culvert) and is located 1,200 feet upstream of U.S. 41. The private driveway bridge is
located on the Naslund property (Naslund bridge) approximately 600 feet upstream of U.S. 41.
All data required to complete our review of this request for a Conditional Letter of Map Revision
( CLOMR) were submitted with letters from Ms. Kristy Rogers, Department of Natural Resources, State of
Wisconsin; and Mr. Davel.
We reviewed the submitted data and the data used to prepare the effective FIRM for your community and
determined that the proposed project meets the minimum floodplain management criteria of the NFIP. The
submitted corrected effective HEC -RAS hydraulic computer model, dated June 28, 2005, was used as the
base conditions in our review of the proposed conditions model for this CLOMR request. We believe that,
if the proposed project is constructed as shown on the topographic work map entitled "Flood Plain Map,"
prepared by Davel Engineering, Inc, dated June 23, 2002, and the data listed below are received, a revision
of the FIRM would be warranted.
The revised hydraulic analyses for this submittal were based on the HEC -2 hydraulic computer model.
The duplicate effective computer model was developed from the available effective HEC -2 computer
models, including models used in previous Letters of Map Revision for the affected flooding source. The
HEC -2 models were converted to a duplicate effective HEC -RAS computer model. The elevations of the
flood having a. l - percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) in the
duplicate effective model matched the effective Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) within 0.1 foot.
A
2
Corrected effective HEC -RAS computer models were created from the duplicate effective model by
including additional cross section information and adding the Naslund bridge to reflect conditions that
existed at the time the original study was completed. Our review of the corrected effective model revealed
that the BFEs both increased and decreased compared to the BFEs in the duplicate effective model. The
maximum increase in BFE, 0.2 foot, occurred approximately 3,400 feet upstream of U.S. 41. The
maximum decrease in BFE, 0.2 foot, occurred approximately 4,800 feet upstream of U.S. 41.
An existing conditions model (model A) was created by adding updated cross - sectional data to the
duplicate effective model. Our review of the existing conditions model A revealed that the BFEs both
increased and decreased compared to the BFEs in the corrected effective HEC -RAS model The maximum
increase in BFE, 1.3 feet, occurred approximately 4,800 feet upstream of U.S. 41. The maximum decrease
in BFE, 0.4 foot, occurred approximately 5,000 feet upstream of U.S. 41. A second existing conditions
model (model B) was created by adding the existing CMP culvert to the existing conditions model A to
show the impact of this existing CMP culvert. Our review of the existing conditions model B revealed that
the BFEs both increased and decreased compared to the BFEs in the existing conditions model A. The
maximum increase in BFE, 0.03 foot, occurred approximately 1,750 feet upstream of U.S. 41. The
maximum decrease in BFE, 0.01 foot, occurred approximately 1,200 feet upstream of U.S. 41. These
comparisons show that the major impact to BFEs when comparing the existing conditions to the corrected
effective model results from the updated cross - sectional data, which more accurately depicted the existing
flooding conditions.
The proposed conditions model was created by adding the proposed bridge and removing the existing
CMP culvert. Our review of the proposed conditions model revealed that the BFEs will both increase and
decrease compared to the BFEs in the existing condition model (comparisons are to existing conditions
model B). The maximum increase in BFE, 0.01 foot, will occur just upstream of the proposed bridge. The
maximum decrease in BFE, 0.03 foot, will occur at the upstream entrance of the proposed bridge.
Our review of the proposed conditions model revealed that the BFEs, will both increase and decrease
compared to the BFEs in the corrected effective EEC -RAS model. The maximum increase in BFE,
1.3 feet, will occur approximately 4,800 feet upstream of U.S. 41. The maximum decrease in BFE, 0.4
foot, will occur approximately 5,000 feet upstream of U.S. 41.
As a result of the updated cross - sectional data, the addition of the Naslund bridge, the removal of the
existing CMP culvert, and the proposed bridge, the width of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the
area that would be inundated by the base flood, will decrease in some areas compared to the effective
SFHA width along Sawyer Creek. The maximum decrease in SFHA width, approximately 170 feet, will
occur approximately 4,000 feet upstream of U.S. 41.
As a result of the updated cross - sectional data, the addition of the Naslund bridge, the removal of the
existing CMP culvert, and the proposed bridge, the width of the regulatory floodway will increase in some
areas and decrease in other areas compared to the effective floodway width along Sawyer Creek. The
maximum increase in floodway width, approximately 60 feet, will occur approximately 4,000 feet
upstream of U.S. 41. The maximum decrease in floodway width, approximately 70 feet, will occur
approximately 3,500 feet upstream of U,S. 41.
Upon completion of the project, your community may submit the data listed below and request that we
make a final determination on revising the effective FIRM and FIS report.
