I.A. EXTRATERRITORIAL TWO-LOT LAND DIVISION/CERTIFIED SURVEY MAP AT 2264
INDIAN POINT ROAD IN THE TOWN OF VINLAND
This item was withdrawn from the agenda at the request of the petitioner.
I.B. TWO-LOT LAND DIVISION/CERTIFIED SURVEY MAP AT 1550 HARRISON STREET
The petitioner is requesting a two-lot land division of a 310,861 square feet/7.14 acre parcel of land currently
contained within one existing parcel. The proposed division is as follows:
?
Lot 1 = 191,330 square feet/4.39 acres
?
Lot 2 = 119,531 square feet/2.74 acres
Mr. Nau presented the item and explained that the property currently is used as warehousing and light
manufacturing and the land division is being requested so the two operations can be managed or sold
independently of each other.
Ms. Mattox questioned if proposed Lot 2 would maintain a Harrison Street address or if it would be re-addressed
as Nevada Avenue. She also inquired if the cross access and easement agreements would remain in place after
one of the lots would be sold to a new owner.
Steve Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works, stated that if the proposed land division is approved, Lot 2
would be re-addressed as Nevada Avenue.
Mr. Nau stated that the cross access and easement agreements would remain in place after sale of one of the lots
for the protection of the property owners to maintain the functionality of the site.
Russell Reff, 217 Ceape Avenue, stated that he was present representing the current owners of the property. He
further stated that they have no objections to the proposed conditions and the surveyor is currently working on
preparing a revised CSM incorporating the cross access and easement conditions. He commented that the current
owner was requesting the land division to enable them to either sell or manage the properties as separate entities.
Motion by Propp to approve the land division/certified survey map for property located at 1550 Harrison
Street as requested with the following conditions:
1. Cross-access easement(s) be recorded at the Winnebago County Register of Deeds for existing parking
and truck maneuvering areas. Easement(s) shall be placed on C.S.M. prior to final approval.
2. An easement(s) be granted and recorded at the Winnebago County Register of Deeds for proposed Lot 1
for storm and sanitary sewers crossing proposed Lot 2. Easement(s) shall be placed on C.S.M. prior to
final approval.

II. DETERMINATION OF LAND USE CONSISTENCY WITH CITY OF OSHKOSH
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF 3910 FISK AVENUE IN
THE TOWN OF NEKIMI
This request is for a determination of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Lands within the City’s 3-mile
extraterritorial land division jurisdiction are required to be consistent with the City’s adopted land use plan and
therefore a finding that the proposed new truck storage business use is consistent with the plan is needed.
Mr. Buck presented the item and stated that Oshkosh Corporation is proposing to use the property for fenced-in
storage of trucks and trailers with future improvements that may include a structure for 5-10 employees. He
further stated that the County would need to change the existing zoning of A-1: Agri-Business District to allow
this use which requires the approval of the land use consistency from the City. The City’s Comprehensive Plan
has this area designated as appropriate for commercial use which does allow outdoor screened storage in the C-2:
General Commercial District and the use would not hinder redevelopment of the site in the future.
Ms. Propp questioned why the zoning district adjacent to the site was designated as M-1PD.
Mr. Buck responded that this zoning classification allows all uses in a commercial area.
Mr. Burich added that this area was zoned as M-1PD because it was located in a TIF district and this zoning
classification would have to remain in place for at least another couple years until the TIF was closed out.
Ms. Mattox commented that she would support this request as it appeared to be a part of the whole complex of
Oshkosh Corporation which is a unified business and industry of the community.
Motion by Borsuk to approve the determination of land use consistency with the City of Oshkosh
Comprehensive Plan for property located east of 3910 Fisk Avenue in the Town of Nekimi as requested.
Seconded by Esslinger. Motion carried 5-0.
OTHER BUSINESS
Mr. Burich distributed copies of the Comprehensive Plan “Top 13” Actions Implementation Report for 2007-2008
for the commissioners to review. The report outlines the top 13 elements that were designated as high priority
implementation actions and the progress City staff has made on these items. Mr. Burich stated that this report was
also available on the City’s website for review.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at approximately 4:32 pm. (Borsuk/Mattox)
