Koeller Street. Although the site does have a S. Koeller Street address, the property does not have any right -of -way frontage on Koeller Street. The property fronts on Osborn Avenue setback approximately 210 feet from S. Koeller Street and has limited visibility due to the shopping center located at 1684 -1694 S. Koeller Street. ANALYSIS The petitioner is requesting development site approval for off - premise signage to be co- located with the existing two -pole pylon sign located at the WG &R property (1600 S. Koeller Street). The sign currently has faces for WG &R and the Basic Bookstore and is located at what could be considered the main entrance to the three existing structures off S. Koeller Street. The existing sign with the proposed addition would increase the total size to 1,296 square feet where 1,600 square feet is allowed by code. The additional cabinet space will not reduce ground clearance as the existing cabinets will be condensed to fit within the existing sign area and will not interfere with traffic vision or negatively impact the commercial neighboring properties. Historically, the City has promoted the use of multi - tenant signage as they reduce the clutter of numerous signs along corridors. FISCAL IMPACT N/A RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission approved of this request at its August 17, 2010 meeting. Approved, � y *nagle2r� ITEM: DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW FOR OFF - PREMISE SIGNAGE AT 1600 S. KOELLER STREET FOR AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL SITE AT 1640 S. KOELLER STREET Plan Commission meeting of August 17, 2010 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Timothy Hess — Habitat for Humanity of Oshkosh Property Owner: Rollie Winter & Associates LTD Action(s) Requested: The applicant is requesting a development plan review and approval to allow signage on an existing off - premise two -pole pylon sign. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: The Zoning Ordinance establishes criteria and guidelines for the establishment and/or amendment of a PD overlay district in Section 30 -33 (A)(1). Property Location and Background Information: Habitat for Humanity of Oshkosh is proposing to open a Habitat Restore and move their affiliate offices to the former Ben Franklin Crafts store located at 1640 S. Koeller Street. Although the site does have a S. Koeller Street address, the property does not have any right -of -way frontage on Koeller Street. The property fronts on Osborn Avenue setback approximately 210 feet from S. Koeller Street and has limited visibility due to the shopping center located at 1684 -1694 S. Koeller Street.

Koeller Street). The sign currently has faces for WG &R furniture, its Sleepshop and Clearance Center as well as Basic Bookstore (an approved off - premise sign). The existing sign is located at what could be considered the main entrance to the three existing structures off S. Koeller Street. The existing sign contains 1,008 square feet of signage where 1,600 square feet is allowed by code. The applicant is proposing to add another 288 square foot cabinet increasing the total size to 1,296 square feet. The additional cabinet space will not reduce ground clearance as the existing cabinets will be "condensed" to fit within the existing sign area and will not interfere with traffic vision. Historically, the City has promoted the use of multi - tenant signage as they reduce the "clutter" of numerous signs along corridors. Also, when looking at the commercial nature of the area, especially the intensity of uses along the highway commercial corridor, staff believes permitting the additional signage will not impact the commercial neighbors and will have a minimal impact on the surrounding properties. RECOMMENDATION /CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the proposed development plan for off - premise signage as requested. The Plan Commission approved of the development plan for off - premise signage as requested. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item. Mr. Nau presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area. He explained that Habitat for Humanity of Oshkosh is proposing to open a Habitat Restore and move their affiliate offices to 1640 S. Koeller Street. They are requesting off - premise signage to be co- located with the existing two -pole pylon sign located at the WG &R property at 1600 S. Koeller as their site possesses no right -of -way frontage and a sign placed on the site would not be visible. The proposed sign would be added to the existing cabinet and will not reduce ground clearance as the existing cabinets will be condensed to fit within the existing sign area and WG &R is supportive of this request. He further stated that the City promotes the use of multi- tenant signage as they reduce the clutter of numerous signs along corridors. Chet Wesenberg, 3265 Casey Trail, Vice President for Habitat for Humanity, stated he was present if Commission members had any questions regarding this request. There was no discussion on this item. Motion by Nollenberger to approve the development plan for off - premise signage at 1600 S. Koeller Street as requested. Seconded by Borsuk. Motion carried 7 -0. Item —1600 S.

Health, safety, and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands. We propose adding a sign cabinet to an existing shared structure. 2. Pedestrian and vehicular circulation and safety. Signage will be installed above Basic Books Sign. This sign will not impede on any vehicular lines of site. Existing structure doesn't block any traffic circulation. 3. Noise, air, water, or other forms of environmental pollution. Signage will will not make noise or cause any form of polution 4. The demand for and availability of public services and facilities. Signage will not change any demand for public service or facilities. 5. Character and future development of the area. Signage is similar to many other shared signs on large retail centers along Hwy 41 corridor, thus the character is unchanged.

Planned Review Narrative Habitat for Humanity of Oshkosh is a non - for -profit 501(c)3 charity whose mission is to build simple, decent and affordable housing for deserving low to moderate income families. We accomplish this mission by inviting the community to help build our houses in partnership with our families. We then sell the houses to our families at no profit and with a zero - interest mortgage. Payments on these mortgages are then used to help build future homes in Oshkosh. As part of our ongoing efforts to raise funds to build more homes, Habitat Oshkosh intends to open a Habitat ReStore and move our affiliate offices to 1640 S. Koeller St. A Restore accepts new and used building supplies as donations.and then sells them to the public at drastically discounted prices. Not only will this raise money for future houses; but also keeps a large amount of usable materials out of the landfill w score: We anticipate having approximately 12 employees /volunteers working on site with approximately 70 customer visits per day. The buildtng.is'approximately 18,000 square feet on a 2.22 acre site. While the site's address`is on Koeller. St, the main entrance on Koeller St. is shared with both Basic Books and WG &R furniture: This is likely to cause confusion for our patrons, donors, volunteers and partner families, alike. Therefore we' eek approval to have built and install an exterior signage cabinet on the "existing multi- tenant pylon sign located on the main entrance to the site. This existing sign is owned and,located entirely on the WG &R property.,WG &R has given us approval to install anew cabinet on their sign that would match the existing WG &R'and Basic Books cabinets in size and materials. The new sign will be 24 feet in length and 6.feet tall. 1640 S. Koeller St. - Oshkosh, wl - 54903 - Ph (920) 235 -3535 - Fx (920) 303 -2912 5 a i :illy ': SITE LAYOUT 1640 S.
