TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Darryn Burich
Director of Planning Services
DATE: April 21, 2011
RE: Approve Planned Development for Temporary Parking Lot at 3665 South Washburn Street
(Plan Commission recommends approval)
BACKGROUND
The request involves a temporary use of two properties comprising approximately 35 acres of land owned by the
petitioner. They are located on the west side of S. Washburn Street, approximately 1,500 feet north of W.
Ripple Avenue. The properties contain a par three golf course, mini -golf, a two- family dwelling (former
farmhouse) with various accessory buildings and an approximately 50 -stall off - street paved parking area.
ANALYSIS
The petitioner is requesting approval for the continuation of a temporary parking lot at the Sunset Par 3 Golf
Course property for the general public for the purpose of three events scheduled at the Ford Festival Grounds. A
similar planned development was approved in 2010 for the Country USA event including a one year sunset
clause. This application is necessary to satisfy the sunset clause as well as to expand the request to include Rock
USA and the Waupaca Boatride Volleyball Tournament. The proposed parking lot will be located entirely on
the five acre parcel containing a 50 +/- stall paved off - street parking lot, two- family dwelling, driving range, and
various accessory structures. In addition to the paved parking lot, the petitioner proposes to utilize the driving
range as unpaved parking with an estimated 150 to 200 vehicles occupying the area. Vehicles will not be
allowed within the 75 -foot setback area of the navigable stream along the north lot line unless documentation is
provided that this stream is no longer deemed navigable by the DNR and the parking lot will have use of the
existing lighting on the driving range. Access to Ford Festival Grounds will be by use of the terrace area on the
west side of S. Washburn Street with ingress and egress of vehicles from the lot being consistent with traffic
movement on S. Washburn Street which becomes one -way during the event. The Police, Fire, Public Works,
and Transportation Departments are working together to develop a strategy to increase separation of pedestrian
and vehicular traffic but have not finalized a concept at this time. No overnight camping will be permitted.
FISCAL IMPACT
None anticipated.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission approved of this request at its April 19, 2011 meeting.
Approved,
City Manager
ITEM: DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW TO PERMIT A TEMPORARY PARKING
LOT AT 3665 S WASHBURN STREET (SUNSET PAR 3 GOL COURSE)
Plan Commission meeting of April 19, 2011
GENERAL INFORMATION
Petitioner /Owner: Robert Albright, Northern Real Estate Investments, LLC
Action(s) Requested:
The petitioner is requesting Development Plan approval for continuation of a temporary parking
lot located at Sunset Par 3 Golf Course at 3665 S. Washburn Street. The parking lot is proposed to
be available for compensated parking by the general public for the three events scheduled in 2011
at the Ford Festival Grounds.
A similar Planned Development for parking during the Country U.S.A. event was granted in April
2010, with conditions including a one year sunset clause. This application is necessary to satisfy
the sunset clause as well as to expand the request to include Rock USA and Waupaca Boatride
Volleyball Tournament, scheduled in 2011.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
Parking lots are permitted by right in the M -1 Zoning District. The Zoning Ordinance establishes
criteria and guidelines for the establishment of a PD overlay district in Section 30 -33 (A).
Property Location and Type:
The request involves the temporary use of two properties comprising approximately 35 acres of
land owned by the petitioner. They are located on the west side of S. Washburn Street,
approximately 1,500 feet north of W. Ripple Avenue. The properties contain a par three golf
course, mini -golf, a two - family dwelling (former farmhouse) with various accessory buildings and
an approximately 50 -stall off - street paved parking area.

ANALYSIS
The petitioner is requesting approval for a temporary parking lot at the Sunset Par 3 Golf Course
property. The site plan shows the proposed parking lot to be located entirely on the five acre
parcel containing a 50 +1- stall paved off - street parking lot, two - family dwelling, driving range, and
various accessory structures. In addition to the paved parking lot, the petitioner proposes to utilize
the driving range as unpaved parking. Although the petitioner did not indicate the number of
vehicles proposed to park on the driving range, staff estimates 150 to 200 vehicles could
potentially occupy the area. Since the proposed parking area is unimproved, a base standard
modification is required to allow the use of grass as a parking surface, which staff is supporting. A
navigable stream is located along the north lot line of the five acre parcel. Shoreland zoning
requires a minimum of a 75 -foot setback for any structure from the navigable stream; therefore
staff is placing a condition that no vehicles be parked closer than 75 feet from the edge of the
navigable stream.
The temporary parking lot will utilize the existing fixtures used for the driving range. Staff
believes the lighting is an appropriate amenity as it adds security and safety for event
goers /parkers. In addition, the applicant has indicated that an attendant(s) will be on site at all
times to provide information, direct traffic and provide additional security.
Visitors using the parking lot will access Ford Festival Grounds by use of the "terrace" area on the
west side of S. Washburn Street. The terrace area provides approximately 40 to 45 feet of walking
area from the edge of the road to the right -of -way line. The distance from the parking lot to the
main entrance of Ford Festival Park is approximately 3,800 feet or 2/3 of a mile. Police and Fire
Departments have expressed concerns regarding the safety of pedestrian traffic along the frontage
roads from satellite parking areas as there are currently no sidewalks or dedicated pedestrian ways.
The Police and Fire Departments, the Department of Public Works and the Transportation
Department are working together to develop a strategy to increase separation of pedestrian and
vehicular traffic on the frontage roads but have not finalized a concept at this time.
Staff understands there is a need for parking for those wanting to attend events at the Ford Festival
Park including Country U.S.A. (June 21 -25), Waupaca Boatride Volleyball Tournament (July 6-
10) and Rock U.S.A. (July 14 -16). Parking is at a premium as the Country U.S.A. music
celebration has historically drawn a large regional crowd and it is assumed the other two events
will as well. The petitioner states that business at the golf course drops considerably because of
the traffic congestion brought about by Country U.S.A. and is attempting to recoup some of the
lost revenue by providing parking for visitors. This request is similar to temporary unimproved
parking lots created for the Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture. The main difference
is that the subject site is located within a Planned Development District requiring Plan
Commission review and Common Council approval per code, whereas other temporary parking
lots fall under staff review only.
Item -S Washburn CUP/ PD TempPLot
No other concerns from the Fire Department, Police Department, the Department of Public Works,
nor Transportation Department were raised at the interdepartmental review meeting other than
those addressed in this staff report.
RECOMMENDATION /CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit/development plan as proposed with the
following conditions:
1. Base standard modification for the use of grass as a parking surface.
2. Attendant is on -site while any vehicles are parked there.
3. Ingress and egress traffic movements will be coordinated and consistent with traffic
patterns on S. Washburn Street before, during and after events.
4. No parking permitted within 75 feet of navigable stream on the north side of the five acre
parcel.
The Plan Commission approved of the conditional use permit/development plan as requested with
conditions noted. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item.
Mr. Buck presented the item and discussed the previously approved development plan which had a
one year sunset clause placed on it by the Common Council last year. This request is being
reviewed again at this time to address the sunset clause and to extend the use from Country USA
exclusively to two other events being held at the Ford Festival Grounds in 2011. Mr. Buck
reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the zoning in said area. He also discussed the
number of cars that could potentially be parked on the site, the navigable stream on the north side
of the parcel, the lighting on the driving range that would be utilized, and the attendant that would
be present on -site during the use. He also explained that no overnight parking or camping would
be allowed and that issues with pedestrians walking to /from parking sites to the festival grounds
had occurred and the Police and Fire Departments were currently working on the matter. He also
reviewed the site plan and conditions recommended for this request.
Mr. Hinz questioned if the traffic would be restricted to one way when the event concludes or if
Washburn Street would still be a two way street.
Mr. Buck responded that Washburn Street has historically been restricted to one way during
Country USA; however the Police and Fire Departments were still working on a concept to
increase the separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic during these events.
Mr. Thorns asked for clarification if the sunset clause was being addressed as only allowing the
request for 2011 and with the expansion to three events from one event last year, questioned if all
requirements were being met. He also felt that a condition should be added to address that no
overnight parking or camping was allowed on the site.
Mr. Buck replied that the development plan approval was for 2011 only and although there were a
few incidents last year from all the satellite parking sites, they were not related to this site in
particular and all requirements of last years CUP were met. He further stated that a condition
could be added to address the overnight parking or camping issue with this request, if so desired.
Item -S Washburn CUPi PD TenWPLot
Mr. Borsuk inquired if a condition should be added relating to the traffic pattern as the Police and
Fire Departments have some concerns about it.
Mr. Burich responded that staff is still working on the concept at present and that the concerns
with the Police and Fire Departments are not related to this particular use but concerns with the
events as a whole.
Mr. Buck added that the ingress and egress traffic was to be coordinated with the outcome of the
meetings with the Police and Fire Departments concept when complete.
Robert Albright, 5711 Green Valley Road, petitioner for this request, stated that it was a nice
operation last year and the area was both lighted and safe. They did not park as many cars as
anticipated on the site but everything went well.
Mr. Thorns questioned if overnight parking or camping was permitted.
Mr. Albright responded that they do not allow overnight stays and he believed that was a condition
in his previously approved development plan.
Gerald Jagodinski, 5590 County Road R, stated that he felt the City, County, and State had messed
up the Highway 41 Corridor and also discussed that he felt railroad tracks should have been
located in the highway corridor.
Mr. Thorns commented that he felt that the no overnight parking issue needed to be clarified as the
property owner could not control this entirely as some people may not return to pick up their
vehicles when the event has ended.
Mr. Burich replied that staff could address this situation in one of two ways without adding a
condition to the request at this point. A correction notice could be issued to the property owner or
the development plan could be brought back to the Plan Commission and Common Council for
review and clarification if it is found to be in violation of what was approved. This would allow
more administrative flexibility and would not put the property owner in a position to be in
violation of the development plan approval due to things beyond his control.
Mr. Thorns commented that although the owner may not be able to control people not returning to
pick up their vehicles, he could control the issue of not allowing camping on the site.
Mr. Borsuk agreed that a condition should be added that no overnight camping was allowed.
Motion by Nollenberger to approve the development plan to permit a temporary parking
lot at 3665 S. Washburn Street with the following conditions:
1. Base standard modification for the use of grass as a parking surface.
2. Attendant is on -site while any vehicles are parked there.
3. Ingress and egress traffic movements will be coordinated and consistent with
traffic patterns on S. Washburn Street before, during and after events.
4. No parking permitted within 75 feet of navigable stream on the north side of the
five acre parcel.

Sunset Par 3 Golf Course
Northern Real Estate Development
3669 Washburn St.
Oshkosh, WI 54904
Sunset Par 3 is currently a struggling business in this economy, as
it is. During the Country USA Event, the golf course's income
decreases immensely due to traffic passing Par 3 traveling directly
to the event. By applying for the Conditional Use Permit we are
trying to recapture a portion of the lost income. We feel the
blacktopped driveway and lighted parking area might be inviting to
event goers. The walk to and from the event would involve using
the ditch well off the road and away from the traffic. We will
install right turn only sign at the driveway to facilitate a smooth
flow of traffic.
