RE: Approve Conditional Use Permit for Construction of a Public Utility Structure /Storm
Water Pump Station by the City of Oshkosh in Menominee Park East of East Melvin
Avenue (Plan Commission Recommends Approval)
BACKGROUND
The subject 103 acre property is zoned R -1 Single - Family Residence District and is developed as a
community park with numerous recreational facilities. The park is located on the western shore of
Lake Winnebago and features approximately two miles of shoreline. The Department of Public Works
is seeking approval for construction of a storm water pump station in Menominee Park to provide
flooding relief for properties located in the Melvin Avenue Watershed. Historically this area has
experienced significant flooding in even moderate rainfall events.
ANALYSIS
The proposed storm water lift station structure will have an approximately 3,500 square foot building
footprint, which will house the mechanical equipment required for its operation. The building is
proposed to be located approximately 75 feet from the edge of water, 23 feet west of the existing
asphalt pedestrian path and 250 feet north of the boat launch parking area. Stormwater will enter the
facility from the west and discharge into Lake Winnebago via box culverts. Parking is proposed to be
provided by the installation of a grass paver driveway /parking stall along the north side of the building
that is accessed by the widening of the existing pedestrian path. The proposed utility structure will
have minimal impact on the function of the park and will help to alleviate flooding issues for
properties located in the Melvin Avenue Watershed. The Plan Commission recommended approval of
the Conditional Use Permit with conditions. The conditions are summarized below:
I . Building perimeter landscaping be installed to enhance the look of the pump station;
2. Investigation of the feasibility of relocating the pump station south to minimize the visual
impact to homes in the Melvin Ave. area and the Siewert Tr. /Lincoln Ave. area;
3. Inclusion of a park related amenity to the structure such as restrooms to make the structure a
functional element rather than an unrelated intrusion to the park; and
4. Installation of a green (vegetative) roof to mitigate the additional impervious area created.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds to construct the pump station were approved in the 2010 Capital Improvements Program.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission approved of this request at its February 16, 2010 meeting.
Approved,
City Manager

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: February 19, 2010
RE: Approve Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Construction of a Public Utility Structure /Storm
Water Pump Station by the City of Oshkosh in Menominee Park East of East Melvin Ave
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works (DPW) is requesting a CUP to place a pump station in Menominee Park.
In preparation for this project a neighborhood meeting was held at Webster Stanley School on December
14, 2009. The neighborhood overwhelming supported the pump station in the park. The neighborhood
requested the pump station be moved south from its proposed location, directly east of Melvin Ave., to
preserve a lake view from the end of the street. The DPW moved the station approximately 100' south,
adjacent to the existing ball diamond.
The Plan Commission approved the CUP with four conditions. Below is a summary of the DPW review of
these conditions.
MT1W&iI,
The DPW agrees with landscaping the area around the pump station. Upon completion of the station we
will work with Parks, Police and Community Development to review the site, develop and implement a
suitable landscape plan.
The second condition is to determine the feasibility of moving the pump station farther south. The
Department of Public Works along with .engineers from AECOM have worked diligently to allow for
construction of the pump station in 2010 in coordination with the reconstruction of Melvin Ave.
Construction scheduling was done in consideration of Webster Stanley School. The street reconstruction
adjacent to the school will be completed during summer break. The pump station is scheduled to be
completed August 31, 2010. Relocating the pump station will require additional design work, further
delaying the project. The engineers have estimated about 4 weeks of time will be needed to complete the
survey, geotechnical data, plan and specification revisions and resubmit the DNR permits. This delay will
result in a 6 to 8 week delay in the start of construction and completion. The estimated cost of the design
work is $23,000. Additional materials will be needed to construct the pump station farther south. The
estimated increased construction cost to move the pump station another 150' south are approximately
$85,000. Upon reviewing the new location with Parks Director Ray Maurer there is a concern that a
"pinch point" will be created along the pedestrian path. The area just south east of the new location is a
significant berm with heavy vegetation. If the pump station is situated near the bend of the pedestrian
trail it will create a narrow area with obstructed views from most angles, creating a genuine security risk.
The relocation of the pump station may come into direct conflict with the outfall of the adjoining
stormwater watershed to the south, which could mean unnecessarily connecting a second watershed to
this pump station. This will require additional time and may require the pump station to be enlarged to
accommodate the additional water.
I:\ Engineering \Correspondence\Steve Gohde\council memosWelvin pump station.doc
The Plan Commission also recommended the inclusion of a park feature, such as a rest room, with the
pump station. The proposed location of the pump station is less than 800' to the nearest public restrooms
located at the ball diamonds. Locating the restroom with the pump station will make the pump station
building larger and is difficult to attach to the building. The exterior of the pump station has multiple
penetrations for access, venting and utility connections. Placing a rest room in an area where patrolling
and monitoring will be difficult may provide a location for undesirable activities, and create an attractive
nuisance for vandalism. A cost estimate for the restroom is unavailable at this time, it is anticipated the
cost would be $100,000 to $150,000. The DPW does plan to install an information sign about the pump
station on site. This could be incorporated into a landscape area and bench to provide a park amenity. It
is the desire of the DPW to not make the pump station a destination point where people will want to
congregate to reduce the chances of vandalism. Additional pedestrian traffic entering the building will
create a conflict with utility maintenance operations.
The final condition is the installation of a vegetative green roof. The current plans and bidding documents
include a vegetative green roof and an alternative price for constructing the facility without the vegetative
green roof. Based on cost, a recommendation will be presented to council for approval with or without the
vegetative green roof at the time the bid is presented for award.
FISCAL IMPACT
Relocating the pump station has a minimum estimated increase in cost of $108,000, this assumes all
conditions on the south site are equal to the existing site, including soils, lake depth and no additional
stormwater is entering the system. Adding a restroom facility is anticipated to cost between $100,000
and $150,000. The amount for a restroom in not included in the Parks CIP. Such an expense does not
appear to warrant the use of stormwater funds for what would essentially be a park improvement.
Depending on the existing conditions at the new location, it is possible the pump station construction will
need to be delayed until 2011 if additional design work is necessary.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Department of Public Works recommends leaving the pump station in the current proposed location,
approximately 100' south of Melvin Ave. and without restroom facilities.
Respectfully Submitted,
Steven M. Gohde
Asst. Director of Public Works

ANALYSIS
East Melvin Avenue is scheduled for reconstruction in 2010. As part of the reconstruction, the
City will improve the storm water system. The Department of Public Works hired AECOM to
analyze the Melvin Avenue Watershed and make recommendations to prevent flooding of any
storm smaller than the 10 year storm event and reduce flooding of larger events. AECOM
presented two options: Option one recommended constructing a detention pond in the
neighborhood along with a small pump station located in Menominee Park. Option two is to
forego the detention pond and construct a larger capacity pump station in Menominee Park. The
Department of Public Works presented the options to citizens at a neighborhood meeting on
December 19, 2009. The overwhelming response was for the City to construct the larger pump
station with no detention pond.
The proposed storm water lift station structure will have an approximately 3,500 square foot
building footprint which will house the mechanical equipment required for operation. The
building is to be located approximately 75 feet from the edge of water, 23 feet west of the existing
asphalt pedestrian path and 250 feet north of the boat launch parking area. This area of
Menominee Park is more passive use with the exception of a softball diamond located west of the
proposed structure. The lift station will not affect the functionality of the softball area.
Plans show a four foot by eight foot box culvert entering the facility from the west. Storm water is
then pumped up, exiting to the east through a four foot by twelve foot box culvert, discharging into
Lake Winnebago.
Parking for City maintenance crews will be provided by the installation of a grass paver driveway
along the north side of the building. Grass pavers are a "honeycomb- like" structure allowing grass
to grow through and around the surface giving the appearance of full ground cover while still
being supportive of vehicle weights. Vehicle access to the parking area will be by use of the
existing pedestrian path which will be widened from 10 feet to 12 feet south of the proposed
structure to the boat launch parking area.
A landscape plan has not been submitted, but as a condition staff is recommending that substantial
building perimeter landscaping be provided and approved by the Department of Community
Development. The landscaping will help soften the visual impact of the building.
Building elevations were not available at the time of writing this staff report, however, the
Department of Public Works will have drawings available for the Plan Commission presentation.
Staff understands that there is the potential that a green roof may be installed to mitigate the
additional impervious area of the building structure and is supportive of such an amenity.
This project is just one of many projects the City has undertaken to address flooding issues. Staff
feels this project will have minimal impact on the function of the park and will help alleviate or
reduce flooding issues for properties located in the Melvin Avenue Watershed.
RECOMMENDATION /CONDITIONS
The Department of Community Development recommends approval of the CUP to allow the
construction and operation of the proposed storm water lift station with the following condition:
Item - MenomineePrkCUP /Public Utility
1. The Department of Public Works shall provide a landscape plan showing substantial
building perimeter landscaping to be approved by the Department of Community
Development.
The Plan Commission approved of the conditional use permit as requested with revised conditions.
The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item.
Mr. Nau presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area, the current land uses in
said area, and the history of the flooding issues experienced in this neighborhood. He further
stated that East Melvin Avenue is scheduled for reconstruction in 2010 and the City contracted
with AECOM for recommendations to reduce the flooding issues, which resulted in an option for a
dry detention pond and pump station or just a larger pump station. Both the Common Council and
neighbors supported the plan for a pump station only. Mr. Nau reviewed maps of the proposed
pump station as well as parking and access to the site, elevations for the structure, and conditions
recommended by staff. He also summarized correspondence from David Borsuk who could not be
present for the Plan Commission meeting today, but wanted his views shared with the other
commission members. He felt that the pump station was good politics but bad planning and that
the City needed to take steps to protect the ground water in the community. He also felt that the
detention basin was a more environmentally friendly practice to deal with the flooding issues and
the City is under permit requirements to reduce total suspended solids by 2013. He was asking for
a negative recommendation on this proposal as it is contrary to the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Nau
also summarized correspondence from Justin Mitchell, 652 Monroe Street, who opposes the pump
station as it has not included a water quality element, the project is not included in the City of
Oshkosh's Parks Plan or Comprehensive Plan, cost estimates do not account for the increase in
energy use, project details have not been distributed to all stakeholders including site design, noise
levels, and environmental impacts. He recommended the City complete a full cost analysis, the
roof be plant- based, the area be extensively landscaped, and energy efficiency standards be met.
Mr. Nau further commented that the Department of Public Works was attempting to address
flooding issues in the city, as directed.
Mr. McHugh suggested that toilets or other park type use be installed at the site and questioned
how the zoning ordinance would address this issue.
Mr. Nau responded that the addition of toilets at the site would be considered an accessory use to
the park use.
Mr. McHugh then questioned if the paving of Melvin Avenue was due to the installation of the
pump station or if it was because the road was scheduled to be reconstructed regardless.
Steve Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works, replied that the neighborhood had petitioned the
City to have the street reconstructed. The pump station was researched after that in an attempt to
keep the street dry.
Mr. McHugh then asked the age of Melvin Avenue.
Mr. Gohde responded that he did not have that information on hand but the street was near the end
of its time as demonstrated by paser rating and it required reconstruction.
Item - MenomineePrkCUP/Public Utility
Ms. Lohry inquired if it was possible to construct the pump station structure underground.
Mr. Gohde replied that the structure was already going 20 feet below grade and that the
mechanicals needed to be above ground to be protected from the elements and be able to be
maintained.
Ms. Lohry then inquired if the water would be discharged below the water level of the lake.
Mr. Gohde responded affirmatively.
Mr. Thorns stated that he understood the issue of the water in the neighborhood cannot be handled
by the current system in place but asked for further explanation of the pump station and how it
would reduce the flooding issues.
Mr. Gohde gave a detailed description of how the pump station would function.
Mr. Thorns asked if this system would address stormwater quantity issues only.
Mr. Gohde responded that the dry detention basin would have addressed more of the solids
however the pump station will prevent some of the solids from going into Lake Winnebago.
Mr. Thorns stated that some of the solids will find a way into the lake now, but questioned if a
filter could be placed in the system after the fact if necessary.
Mr. Gohde commented that the city will get some reduction from this proposed system but cannot
slow down the system too much or it will not reduce the flooding issues it is trying to address. He
further explained the pump station functions.
Ms. Propp questioned how this fit into the stormwater management plan on the east side of the
city.
Mr. Gohde stated that he did not have any maps available to view the entire stormwater plan for
the city and that the city has approximately 120 separate basins. He further stated that this
proposed pump station was meant to address the Melvin Avenue watershed.
Ms. Propp then questioned if Public Works has been able to analyze other watersheds on the east
side of the city and if these other watersheds would require pump stations.
Mr. Gohde explained that the design goal is to keep streets dry in a ten year storm event and they
do not want to build anymore pump station in the city if they can help it.
Ms. Propp commented that it appeared that this pump station was precipitated by the desire to have
the street rebuilt and questioned what the impact would be if this project was delayed until next
year.
Mr. Gohde responded that the impact would be that this basin would continue to flood and it
would have no impact on other basins in the city. There are no overall stormwater detention basins
for the city's east side and each basin has to be dealt with on its own.
Item - MenomineePrkCUP /Public Utility 4
Ms. Propp then questioned if the potential of a green roof mentioned in the staff report would be
realized.
Mr. Gohde stated that it was accounted for in the bid documents but it would depend on which
alternatives were selected when it went before the Common Council for review.
Ms. Propp inquired if there were any other slides depicting the location of the proposed pump
station that would better define its precise location. She also asked if the culvert would be placed
underground.
Mr. Gohde replied that the pump station was essentially adjacent to the ball diamond and the slide
currently displayed was accurate. He further stated that the culvert would be located underground.
Ms. Propp questioned how the parking of boat trailers would be affected and how much traffic
there would be for maintenance to the pump station.
Mr. Gohde responded that they would need access 1 -2 times a year for cleaning and monthly
maintenance would need to be performed however the site should still be able to be used the same
as it is today.
Ms. Propp then inquired about the impact to the pedestrian trail.
Mr. Gohde replied that it would be minimal.
Ms. Lohry asked if the pump station could be moved south to not be in view of homes near the
park, north of the school.
Mr. Gohde responded that they had already adjusted the plans to move it further south than Melvin
Avenue and to move it farther south again would require taking out more trees and landscaping
from the park and will place it in view of more homes as it is currently located in front of the
school property.
Mr. Thorns questioned if the DNR approved the plans to discharge the stormwater into the lake
and inquired about the references made in Mr. Mitchell's correspondence regarding the "disturbed
water system" in Miller's Bay.
Mr. Gohde replied that the current stormwater runoff goes into the lake but the City is currently
working with the DNR on the Chapter 30 process for this installation. He further explained the
permitting process with the DNR.
Mr. Bowen inquired about how the capacity of the current system compared to the pump station
system.
Mr. Gohde responded that the pump station system had a much larger capacity.
Mr. McHugh asked if the pedestrian trail was going to be used by vehicles, what type of vehicles
would be accessing the trail.
Item - MenomineePrkCUP /Public Utility
Mr. Gohde replied that either vacuum or pickup trucks would be accessing the trail and it would be
for maintenance purposes only so the use would be minimal.
Mr. McHugh stated that he understood that the pump station would have the capacity to handle
81,000 gallons per minute and questioned if this would be sufficient to alleviate the flooding issues
and what area would be covered by this.
Mr. Gohde responded that they anticipated it would be sufficient to handle regular flooding issues
and proceeded to explain the boundaries of the Melvin Avenue watershed.
Mr. McHugh commented that he felt if the pump station could be moved to the south as discussed,
it should be done.
Mr. Gohde stated that it could result in the loss of more established trees and may significantly
increase costs.
Mr. Hinz commented that if the culverts could not handle the runoff as they currently exist, the
most optimal plan for water removal should be utilized.
Mr. Gohde stated that the two alternatives were a pump station with a detention basin or a larger
pump station only. In the event that water is coming in faster, the pump station will perform better
to remove it from the streets.
Mr. Hinz questioned if there were any anticipated problems with the pump station alternative.
Mr. Gohde responded that maintenance must be done to the system on a regular basis and that the
pumps had a cycle for servicing. He gave further explanation on how the pumps maintenance
cycle operates.
Mr. Hinz then questioned if the pump station would always be on -line and if it had a backup
generator to ensure the system would always be operational.
Mr. Gohde responded affirmatively.
Mr. McHugh commented that the lagoon at South Park was an asset to the park and questioned
why a detention basin could not be constructed in Menominee Park to deal with the flooding
issues.
Mr. Gohde replied that even with a detention pond in the park, the pump station would still be
necessary to empty the pond.
Ms. Propp inquired how many of the water basins in the city have been reviewed.
Mr. Gohde responded that he did not have exact figures on how many have been reviewed thus far,
but they were attempting to deal with the worst basins first.
Item - MenomineePrkCUP /Public Utility
Joanne Pollock, 1105 Baldwin Avenue, stated that they have lived in their home for 37 years and
also own the property at 1005 Hazel Street. She felt that it was good news that the city is dealing
with the flooding issue and that they had attended the neighborhood meeting held recently
regarding the alternatives. She further stated that when they had purchased their property many
years ago, they were told that no structure would ever be built in the park area and she disagreed
with the fact that the pump station could not be moved farther south of its proposed location. She
felt that it would be better for the citizens living on Hazel Street to have it relocated to the south as
it would be less visible.
Roland Woodruff, 1117 Baldwin Avenue, stated that he also was in support of moving the pump
station further south.
Helen Herlache, 1029 Hazel Street, also agreed with the other neighbor's statements regarding
relocating the pump station. She commented that the berms in that location were not practical
anyway and that they create drainage problems as they cause water to run back into the park.
Ms. Propp stated that she felt the pump station will have a huge impact on the park and at a huge
cost as well and she was mostly concerned that it does not fit into an overall stormwater
management plan for the city. It appears that it is more related to the street reconstruction for
Melvin Avenue and there are too many negative components to the plan. She further stated that
this could lead to more pump stations being installed in the park in the future and she felt a full
stormwater management plan should be addressed prior to moving forward with this installation.
Ms. Lohry commented that she could live with the installation of the pump station in the park if it
could be moved farther south and possibly enhanced with some trees surrounding the structure.
Mr. Thoms stated that the city does not have overall plans for all stormwater management at this
time but the flooding issues need to be dealt with. It seems that no one wants it on their property
but to locate it in the park may be more acceptable if moved further south as suggested. This is
just one of many issues that need to be dealt with as far as flooding problems in the city. He
further commented that he felt it was a good idea to add toilets as well to service this area of the
park.
Mr. Bowen commented that we need to look at the issue of the green roof as not a potential but as
a condition of approval instead. A dry detention pond would have better regulated the suspended
solids which are not being addressed with the current plans submitted. He further stated that this
was more of an engineering issue than planning, but if it is possible to outfit the facility to filter
solids; this should also be added as a condition.
Mr. Gohde stated that a filter could be retrofitted at a later date when technology is improved and
cost effective measures become available.
Mr. Buck commented that the retrofitting of the filter could be done at a later date and it would not
necessarily be required to be added as a condition of approval.
Mr. Thoms inquired if this pump station was contrary to the Comprehensive Plan as Mr. Borsuk
implied.
Item - MenomineePrkCUP/Publie Utility
Mr. Buck responded that it was not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan as the plan states that both
quantity and quality need to be dealt with. Mr. Gohde added that quality cannot be dealt with at
every location and at every basin.
Mr. Fojtik stated that there are areas on the west side with flooding issues but there is more open
space to deal with the situation and on the east side of the city there is no room for this. Given that
we are dealing with an existing neighborhood and the concerns for flooding are real, we have to
make the best of a bad situation.
Mr. McHugh stated that there have been complaints in the past that Menominee Park is being
ruined because the view is not as good as it used to be however the addition of structures is
inevitable. Other than installing the pump station the only other alternative is to do nothing and
buying homes to be demolished to build a pond is worse than putting a structure in the park. He
did not feel there was any other hope to resolve this situation.
Mr. Thorns felt that conditions should be added to require the inclusion of a green roof and to
examine the feasibility of moving the structure to the south closer to the tree line.
Mr. Hinz stated that the neighbors want the street issues addressed and it seems that the only
options here are to do something or to do nothing and from a planning perspective, the city needs
to do something about the flooding situation. After hearing all sides of the matter, it appears that
there will be some solids reduction with the proposed pump station. He proceeded to further
discuss how it compared to the directives in the Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Lohry inquired if it was feasible to move the pump station further south as discussed.
Mr. Gohde replied that it was feasible however it would be more costly as there would be
additional piping at a cost of $600 -$800 per foot, the pump station will have to be dug deeper, the
structure will have to be larger, and the pumps themselves may have to be larger.
Mr. Hinz stated that based on the discussion of where it should be located, he estimated that the
additional cost for piping alone would be around $140,000.
Mr. McHugh suggested that Mr. Gohde calculate the total additional costs and provide the
Common Council with an estimate for their consideration.
Ms. Propp stated that she felt the project should be delayed for one year to give staff time to look
into an overall stormwater management plan for the east side.
Motion by Thoms to approve the conditional use permit for a public utility structure in
Menominee Park east of E. Melvin Avenue as requested with the following conditions:
1. The Department of Public Works shall provide a landscape plan showing substantial
building perimeter landscaping to be approved by the Department of Community
Development.
2. The Department of Public Works shall investigate the feasibility of relocating the pump
station south along the walk/trail west of the tree line.
3. The inclusion of a park related amenity to the structure, such as restrooms.
Item - MenomineePrkCUP/Public Utility

Melvin Ave. Watershed Pump Station CUP
The Melvin Ave. watershed has historically experienced significant flooding in
even moderate rainfall events. Melvin Ave. is scheduled for reconstruction in
2010, as part of the reconstruction the storm sewer system needs to be
improved. The Department of Public works hired AECOM to analyze the
watershed and make recommendations to prevent the street from flooding in any
storm smaller than the 10 year design storm and reduce flooding in larger events.
Option one was a smaller pump station in Menominee Park and a detention
basin located in the neighborhood. The second option was a larger pump station
in the park and no detention basin. There was not an option available to prevent
flooding in a 10 year storm without the use of a pump station.
The two options were presented to the neighborhood at a public meeting on
December 14, 2009. The overwhelming response was for the larger pump
station in the park and no detention basin in the neighborhood. The Department
of Public Works is seeking a conditional use permit to place the pump station in
the park.
