DATE: June 17, 2010
RE: Approve Conditional Use Permit; Planned Development for Establishment of a
Vocational School in a Portion of the Existing Building at 1200 South Koeller Street
(Plan Commission Recommends Approval)
BACKGROUND
The approximate 6.3 acre property is the former home to the 60,000 square feet Copps Grocery Store,
which is now vacant. The property is located approximately 1,000 feet south of West 9 Avenue and
approximately 550 feet north of Menard Drive. Staples, Hobby Lobby, Starbucks and other retail
establishments are adjacent to the north and Shopko is adjacent to the south. Highway 41 is to the west
and multiple - family housing exists to the east.
ANALYSIS
This request involves the utilization of approximately 30,000 square feet of the existing building for a
vocational school for advanced manufacturing processing consisting of welding booths, computer
classrooms, research/development centers, laboratories, and a lunch room. It is anticipated to have
between 50 -100 occupants /visitors daily with the remaining area to be rented to a more traditional use.
The site has ample parking availability and the establishment of the school at this location is
advantageous as it helps to utilize an existing fully developed lot with a vacant structure. The
building's interior is to be modified but the exterior of the structure would remain as it exists with the
exception of an entrance canopy and a 60 foot tall pylon sign at the current pole sign location. No
modifications are proposed to the existing landscaping, lighting, or stormwater management facilities
and access and parking for the property will remain as -is.
FISCAL IMPACT
None anticipated.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission approved of this request at its June 15, 2010 meeting.
Approved,
City Manager
ITEM: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW FOR
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL AT 1200 SOUTH
KOELLER STREET
Plan Commission meeting of June 15, 2010
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant /Owner:
Actions Requested:
1200 South, LLC
The petitioner requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit and approval of a Development
Plan for the establishment of a vocational school in a portion of the former Copps Grocery Store
at 1200 South Koeller Street.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
Vocational schools are permitted only as a Conditional Use within the C -2 General Commercial
District and the site is governed by the Planned Development Overlay zoning designation
requiring Development Plan approval for site utilization. The Zoning Ordinance establishes
criteria and guidelines for the establishment and/or amendment of a PD overlay district in
Section 30 -33 and Conditional Use Permit in Section 30 -11.
Property Location and Type:
The approximate 6.3 acre property is the former home to the 60,000 square feet Copps Grocery
Store, which is now vacant. The property is located approximately 1,000 feet south of West 9th
Avenue and approximately 550 feet north of Menard Drive. Staples, Hobby Lobby, Starbucks
and other retail establishments are adjacent to the north and Shopko is adjacent to the south.
Highway 41 is to the west and multiple - family housing exists to the east.

ANALYSIS
This request involves the utilization of approximately 30,000 square feet of the existing building
for a vocational school for advanced manufacturing processing, which consists of welding
booths, computer classrooms, research/development centers, laboratories and a lunch room. It is
anticipated that the school will have between 50 -100 occupants /visitors daily. The remaining
27,600 square feet of the building is projected to be rented to a more traditional
office /service /retail use.
The proposed use of a vocational school may not be a traditional use found within the Highway
41 commercial corridor; however, that does not mean it is not a compatible and harmonious one.
As stated in the application, this location has good access to Highway 41 and is within walking
distance to a transit stop, a variety of restaurants, retail establishments and service businesses
located within the corridor. Additionally, this site has more than ample parking availability.
This proximity helps to foster a reciprocal relationship between the school use (students as
customers) and the businesses (product /service providers to students) so as to be compatible.
The establishment of the school at this location is also advantageous as it helps to utilize an
existing fully developed lot with a vacant structure within the Highway 41 Corridor, acting as an
infill development.
The applicant has stated that a majority of the buildings interior is to be modified to comply with
building code but that the exterior of the building would remain as it exists with the exception of
an entrance canopy and a new 60 foot tall pylon sign at the current pole sign location. The
Zoning Ordinance for this district will allow wall signage of up to a maximum of thirty percent
(30 %) of the wall area per fagade and ground signage would be permitted up to a maximum
amount of 1,600 square feet of area and a maximum height of 60 feet. All signage proposed for
the property will be governed by these regulations. No modification to the existing landscaping,
lighting or stormwater management facilities are proposed as the site is currently fully improved.
Access and parking for the property will remain as -is. Two full access entrances exist off
Koeller Street to the approximately 300 stall parking facility and the building entrances.
Circulation on the lot is dominantly on the west side of the building with interconnections to
properties on the south and the north. The application did not indicate if any maintenance such
as asphalt patch work and /or restriping of the parking lot was to take place but it was observed
during the site visit that the condition of the parking facility is questionable. There are many
wide cracks in the parking surface as well as large potholes and areas of depressed asphalt that
collect and hold water. It appears that the current construction of the restaurant on the site may
correct many of the parking facility deficiencies but others are clearly outside those construction
boundaries.
Staff is pleased to see interest in the reuse of the already improved site and existing building and
is not concerned with the school having a negative affect upon health, safety and general welfare;
feel it will be harmonious with the existing and intended character of the general vicinity; it will
not be disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; it will not be detrimental to property in
the immediate vicinity or community as a whole; and it will not create an interference with
traffic on surrounding streets.
Item- 1200SKoeller -FVTC CUP /PD
RECOMMENDATION /CONDITIONS
Staff believes that the proposed development will meet the standards as set forth in Section 30-
11: Conditional Use Permits as well as Section 30 -33: Planned Developments and not have a
negative impact on surrounding lands, will be harmonious with the intended character of the
general vicinity, and will not be detrimental to neighboring property or the community as a
whole.
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit/development plan as proposed.
The Plan Commission approved of the conditional use permit/planned development as requested.
The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item.
Mr. Buck presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area and the land use map for
said area. He stated that a portion of the existing structure would be utilized for the vocational
school with the remaining area still vacant projected to be rented to a more traditional
office /service /retail use. He further stated that this site had good access, was serviced by current
transit routes, and would utilize a vacant structure with a viable development that would also
promote additional use of services in the surrounding area. The development would utilize the
existing structure with modifications made to the interior of the building with no change to
existing stormwater, landscaping, or parking areas. He also mentioned that the parking lot is in a
questionable state and may require some maintenance.
Mr. Borsuk inquired if there was a reason that the entire site was not reviewed as a whole with
requirements that the parking lot be brought up to current ordinance standards.
Mr. Buck responded that it was an infill project and in that case the area of redevelopment was
addressed only and not the entire site.
Mr. Monte stated that the narrative included with this application from Rollie Winter &
Associates makes reference to if they were not the selected supplier in the request of proposal
process, they would withdraw their application for the conditional use permit. He questioned
since FVTC has already indicated that this proposal was not accepted and not being considered
as an alternative choice, should we continue to address this request.
Mr. Buck replied that the conditional use permit has not been requested to be withdrawn by the
petitioner at this time so we are required to proceed with this request.
Mr. St. Peter stated that if this request is for the same project as discussed in the last item, he
urged the Commission to approve it. He further stated that the Town supports FVTC but he felt
the annexation petition would not withstand a legal challenge.
Mr. Schwab commented that Mr. Winter's agency was not the chosen proposal for this
development and was not being considered as an alternate proposal either so he did not see the
reason to discuss this request. If their proposal did not receive approval for the Poberezny Road
site, it would be up to FVTC who has already indicated that they would be bidding out for new
proposals.
Item- 1200SKoe11er -FVTC CUP /PD
Grant Schwab, 601 Oregon Street, stated that Mr. Winter's narrative indicates that he would
withdraw his request if not the selected supplier which he is not so he also did not see any reason
to continue consideration of this item.
Mr. Nollenberger inquired if the staff had any direct communication with the petitioner regarding
withdrawing the request.
Mr. Buck responded that the petitioner has not contacted the office and indicated he wished to
withdraw the item from the agenda.
Mr. Palmeri commented that the Plan Commission had given approval to the previous item for
the vocational school however the official approval has yet to be granted by the Common
Council.
Mr. Buck stated that the conditional use permit for the use of the site still was required to be
reviewed by the Plan Commission regardless of the potential outcome of the project.
Mr. Palmeri stated that he felt this proposed development was good planning and that the facility
on this site could provide all necessary amenities to the students utilizing it and would be good
for all parties involved.
Mr. Thorns stated that he did not think this was a good site for the proposed use and that it was
more appropriate for commercial uses.
Mr. Hinz disagreed and commented that he has seen such a development in another city and it
was beneficial to the retail uses surrounding it as it spurred growth of their establishments
surrounding the site due to the students patronizing area businesses.
Mr. Borsuk stated that he agreed with this concept and supported the re -use of an existing site.
He further stated that although it was not being considered as a default site for this development
from what was discussed, he would be in support of this request.
Mr. Fojtik commented that he felt it was a very intriguing re -use of an existing vacant site.
Mr. Nollenberger also supported this request and commented that if he had a choice, he would go
with this request rather than the Poberezny Road location.
Motion by Monte to approve a conditional use permit /development plan for the
establishment of a vocational school at 1200 South Koeller Street as requested.
Seconded by Borsuk. Motion carried 8 -1. Ayes -

Dear Department of Community Development:
RE: 1200 SOUTH KOELLER STREET, OSHKOSH, WISCONSIN
Please find attached for your review a Conditional Use Permit Application for the above
referenced property. This building was owned and operated for many years by the Roundy's
Corporation as a grocery store. In 2007, we purchased the building from Roundy's and
continued leasing the store to them. Currently, the building is vacant and we are actively
pursuing replacement tenant(s). We are proposing this site as part of a Request for Proposal
process. If we are not the selected supplier, we will withdraw our application for the Conditional
Use Permit.
We are proposing to rent roughly half of the building to Fox Valley Technical College for an
Advanced Manufacturing Process Center. The center would house welding booths for training
and allow for advanced welding and fabrications process training. The center would also serve
as a research and development training center for companies to contract for technical assistance
and Lean Manufacturing simulations. It would include a flexible lab space to create production
cells with robotic welding and various fabrication processes. We anticipate renting the balance
of the space for more traditional office / retail uses.
Currently, the building is part of a 2 -unit condominium. Unit 2 consists of the Sonic Restaurant
currently under construction. Unit 1 consists of the former grocery store, an approximate 57,600
square foot building. The balance of the property is paved for parking. As part of the
redevelopment of this parcel, we plan to construct a new pylon sign near Koeller Street.

ROLLIE WINTER 8.
ASSOCIATES, LTD.
The demised space for the Technical College would be just under 30,000 square feet. The
facility would include 48 welding booths and classroom / lab spaces. We anticipate 50 —100
employees and customers using the facility on a daily basis. As you can see from the draft floor
plan, all welding and fabrication activities will occur in the rear of the building, resulting in no
noise, health, or safety issues that could affect neighboring properties.
Our building is located in a very convenient location with tremendous visibility to Highway 41,
and is surrounded by a variety of retail and service oriented business. The municipal bus service
makes a stop within 50 feet of the entrance to our facility, enhancing the accessibility of the site.
Given the many adjacent restaurants and retailers within walking distance to our building, this
corridor is very pedestrian friendly. Our existing parking lot contains just under 300 total stalls
providing ample parking for the building.
In summary, Fox Valley Technical College is a public 2 -year Technical College with
headquarters in Appleton and a student body of over 7,000 full time equivalent students. This
will be a first class facility that will attract people to the area and complement the surrounding
businesses in the area. We appreciate your considering this request and look forward to hearing
from you.
Please call us if you have any questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
ROLLIE WINTER & ASSOCIATES, LTD.
