The Plan Commission approved of the privilege in the street as requested with conditions noted.
The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item.
Mr. Buck presented the item and reviewed the subject site and the site plan. He explained that the
Department of Public Works has no concerns with the proposed privilege in street request and
recommends approval with the final design being coordinated and approved by their department to
avoid conflicts with existing underground utilities.
Mr. Bowen arrived at 4:05 pm.
Mr. McHugh stated that other various utilities are using all the space in the right -of -way for
installation of their facilities and questioned if we are precluding the ability to install city utilities
in these areas and voiced his concern with the City having to purchase additional right -of -way to
install facilities.
Mr. Buck responded that those issues are regulated by the Department of Public Works and the
Plan Commission's duty was to review the request on a basis of land use, consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan, and good planning practices.
Steve Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works, added that this installation of fiber optic cable
required approval from Plan Commission and the Common Council as it is a private network
installation. Companies such as Time Warner Cable or AT &T are not required to go through this
process as the City is mandated to allow them to place their utilities in the right -of -way. He
further commented that private lines can be required to relocate their facilities if they are in an area
that is necessary for City utility installation. The City can negotiate to pay to relocate facilities or
the utility company involved will absorb the costs to do so if deemed necessary in the future.
Motion by Thoms to approve the privilege in street at 3125 Medalist Drive as requested
with the following conditions:
1. Placement of the fiber optic cable shall be coordinated with the Department of Public Works to
prevent conflicts with existing underground utilities.
2. The fiber optic cable is installed in a manner that is approved by the Department of Public
Works with no modification or changes in construction procedure without prior approval by
the Department of Public Works.

with City standards and under the direction of the Department of Public Works.

TO: City of Oshkosh Planning Services Division
FROM: Multimedia Communications & Engineering, Inc. on behalf of Fox Valley Metrology.
RE: Privilege in the Right Of Way Narrative
Fox Valley Metrology intends to connect their facilities located at 3125 Medalist Dr and 495 Waukau
Avenue with a Fiber Optic Cable Network via a fiber optic cable inside a 2" HDPE duct that will cross
perpendicularly through the City of Oshkosh Medalist Street Right of Way. Please see the attached map
for route details.
This planned route has been shared with the City Department of Public Works. The final route has taken
into consideration any input from the Department regarding existing utilities, planned activities in the
area, and future adjustments to streets, sidewalks, and other City Owned utilities.
The construction method used to place the underground duct and fiber optic cable across the City's
Right of Way will be Directional Bore. This method creates minimal noise and vibration levels that do
not exceed the limits established in the municipal code. The benefit to the Directional Bore method is
that it minimizes the amount of surface excavation necessary for installation. Operation of this
equipment would be limited to normal working hours of 7:00 AM to S:OOPM and will take into
consideration any hours of work restrictions placed by the City.
It is expected that the work will be completed by June of 2011.
Any questions regarding this proposed project can be directed to Fox Valley Metrology's hired
engineering firm Multimedia Communications & Engineering Contact Person Dan Becker 920 - 676 -3496
or dbecker @mcae.biz.
