I� OfHK lH ON THE WATER TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services DATE: August 19, 2010 RE: Approve Disposition of Surplus Property to UW- Oshkosh Board of Regents, Former Deltox Property between Wisconsin Street and Osceola Street (Plan Commission Recommends Approval) BACKGROUND In 1983 the City acquired the former Deltox Rug Company property (7.8 acres) that resulted in the elimination of a number of blighted former manufacturing and warehouse structures and the creation of Carl E. Steiger Park (2.43 acres) along the river. The one remaining manufacturing building that was leased until 2007 was subsequently demolished and the subject site is now vacant. The irregular shaped property has almost 200 feet of frontage along Wisconsin Street by about 600 feet in depth terminating at Osceola Street (subject of right -of -way vacation). The current manufacturing zoning classification will be changed to R -5PD to be consistent with the rest of the campus if the proposed land disposition is approved. ANALYSIS The City has been working with the University for a number of years to dispose of lands in the immediate vicinity to the University for campus use in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan. The City's 2005 Comprehensive Plan adopted the University's Master Plan which identified the subject area for an Alumni & Friends Center and open space recreational field use. The University is updating its Master Plan and considering a new conference center and hotel as part of the alumni and welcome center and the reuse of the property will require additional City approvals through the Planned Development or Conditional Use Permit process. FISCAL IMPACT N/A RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission approved of this request at its August 17, 2010 meeting. Approved, City Manager ITEM: LAND DISPOSITION (Tax Parcel # 90103660000) — FORMER DELTOX PROPERTY ALONG WISCONSIN STREET ADJACENT TO CARL E. STEIGER PARK Plan Commission meeting of August 17, 2010 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: City of Oshkosh Administration Property Owner: City of Oshkosh Action(s) Requested: City of Oshkosh Administration is requesting to dispose of the 3.4 acre former Deltox Property along Wisconsin Street to the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh for inclusion into the campus. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: N/A Property Location and Background Information: In 1983 the City acquired the former Deltox Rug Company property (7.8 acres) that resulted in the elimination of a number of blighted former manufacturing and warehouse structures and the eventual creation of Carl E. Steiger Park (2.43 acres) along the river. The subject property, now vacant, retained one of the old manufacturing buildings that the City had leased out for a number of years ending in 2007 when the leased ended and the building was subsequently demolished in 2008 to provide additional room for the Wisconsin Street Bridge reconstruction. The irregular shaped subject property has almost 200 feet of frontage along Wisconsin Street by about 600 feet in depth terminating at Osceola Street (subject of right -of -way vacation). The subject property is zoned manufacturing due to the historical use of the area and for which the City will be initiating a zone change to R -5 PD to be consistent with the rest of the campus.

The City provided lands for the Student Recreation Center and vacated Woodland Avenue to provide additional parking to help meet that demand. The City's 2005 Comprehensive Plan adopted the University's Master Plan which identified the subject area for an Alumni & Friends Center and open space recreational field use. The University is currently updating its Master Plan and is studying whether a new conference center and hotel use is warranted as part of an alumni and welcome center. Regardless of what the University determines regarding the hotel /welcome center, the reuse of the lands will require additional City approvals through the Planned Development or Conditional Use Permit process. The proposed disposition of the subject property is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the area. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the land disposition as proposed. The Plan Commission approved of the land disposition as requested. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item. Mr. Burich presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area. He explained that the subject site is a portion of the former Deltox Rug Company property which the City acquired in 1983 and used a portion of to create Carl E. Steiger Park. The remaining area had retained one of the old manufacturing buildings which the City had leased out for a number of years ending in 2007 and the building was subsequently demolished and the land is now vacant. The City is proposing to sell the land to the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh to implement their Master Plan which is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the area. He reviewed the University's concept plan for the site and stated that any use will come back before the Plan Commission and Common Council for conditional use permit/planned development approval. Ms. Propp questioned if the land disposition was with the intent to sell the property to the University. Mr. Burich responded affirmatively and stated that the price was still being negotiated at this time. Motion by Borsuk to approve the proposed land disposition of property located along Wisconsin Street adjacent to Carl Steiger Park as requested. Seconded by Monte. Motion carried 6 -0 -1. (Fojtik abstained as he is employed by the University and involved with this project.)
