RE: Sustainability Plan Draft Comments
This memo shows the comments received since the August 30, 2011 Council workshop with the Plan
Commission, SAB and Sustainability Plan Steering Committee.
At that meeting, the Council directed staff to solicit additional comments from the public and other
advisory boards and to also take a look at how this plan can be reconciled with other City plans. During
the month of December, a public open house was held and the plan was reviewed by the Storm Water
Utility Board, Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee, Advisory Parks Board, Traffic
Review Board, Board of Health, Landmarks Commission and the Transit Advisory Board.
In addition to the meetings mentioned, staff spoke about the sustainability plan on WOSH and on a
segment on "Your City at Work", provided a presentation to the League of Women Voters and
provided a comment area on the "Hot Topics" portion of the City website.
Comments and recommended changes were reviewed by the Steering Committee on February 8th and
comments were accepted, revised or declined to produce the February, 2012 document. Comments
addressed by the Steering Committee are identified in bold after the comment.
As well as the Steering Committee addressing comments, the SAB has updated the Action Plan with
their 2012 goals.
Furthermore, regarding the comments about reconciling this plan with other plans, it is not the
intention of this plan to be a regulatory document. Instead, it is proposed that this is to be a guidance
document for the way things should be done in a sustainable community. As an alternative to
reconciling this plan with all city plans now, it is proposed that this plan be taken into consideration as
new plans are developed or existing plans are amended.

Thanks Robin
Being on the Plan Commission, I want to review the doc and compare against the Comp Plan as I know
there are some conflicts and there may be more that I am not aware of. This may take a bit so getting
back to you in two weeks is a bit of a push for me. I also know there are some conflicts with the
bike/ped plan (which I was also a part of) and even in the Sustainability Plan itself(i.e. narrower
streets but endorsing the bike/ped plan which in some cases needs wider streets. Seems like a little
deal until you need to deal with it at the plan commission or at the public works department level).
As it exists today, I am certainly not in favor of just making it a chapter of the Comp Plan through an
amendment. I do believe aspects of the plan should be integrated into the comp plan which should be
done in the next re-write. Problem is how do you get the good ideas from the sustainability plan that
were presented, and can begin now, moving forward. Guess no one said it would be easy.

December 8, 2011 I Storm Water Utility Board
Board commented on fiscal/implementation costs of a PAH ordinance.
Board also wanted clarification on pg. 20, Impervious Surfaces: Would this paragraph apply only to
new development? (Clarified that this applies to both new development and redevelopment)
Board mention there is no current TDML for Oshkosh (p. 21, first paragraph, last line) (addressed)
Board wanted clarification on pg. 22, A More Natural Look: "Ensure inclusion of such features as
sensitive areas, soils, and areas for possible reclamation, e.g., Vulcan Quarry and the waterfront.
The Board wanted to know what is meant by "sensitive areas, soils, and other areas...".
Public Works Director David Patek noted that Vulcan Quarry may not be a good example here for
reclamation due to the plan for future use as stormwater detention. (Vulcan Quarry reference
removed)
In addition:
December 16, 2011 email
I appreciated the opportunity to comment on this draft document. I would hope that before the
document is finalized the utility board has some opportunity to revisit the PAH stuff. I believe it would
be helpful to have at a minimum a back of the envelope calculation of the costs associated with this
change, have some understanding of its impact on future CIP stormwater plans and the impact this
effort would have on the stormwater rates. I believe as a City that we have been able to have strong
support for stormwater improvements because we have made concrete, kick the tires improvements.
I am not so sure that this PAH effort will foster continuing strong support. In the theory, I am
supportive but as one commissioner, I want to see some detailed, written discussion about costs and
benefits before I say OK. Please share this email as you see fit. (The PAH ordinance is currently being
looked at and this Board would see if before it was finalized).

December 12, 2011 Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee
General consensus: Committee did a good job and recognized the amount of work that went into plan.
Recognized need for the Plan and glad to see it.

Dear Robin,
Thank you for a wonderfully informative presentation to the Governmental Affairs Committee of the
Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce. I was impressed by the scope and the sincerity of the city's approach
to sustainability. It is very encouraging to see such indications of progress that help to highlight the
important work that unites the efforts of public and private organizations.
In many ways, the push for sustainability will become a driving force for economy and efficiency in all
large-scale operations, whether public or private. In the end, I suppose, the 'green revolution' will be
the color of money.

Hello Robin,
In the sustainability plan is there a recommendation for white roofs on municipal buildings and
encouraging the practice on other buildings also? (Yes)

Hello, my name is Dean Schider and I live at 1050 Greenfield Trail. I am commenting on the
sustainability plan, specifically, page 22 (Emerald Ash Borer).
I am a tree specialist and I work in the area. I trim and take down trees. I also have my pesticide
applicators lic. The company I currently work for is in favor of the Emerald Ash Borer, as it would
mean more work for them in the take down aspect of the tree. I, on the other hand, would rather
treat the tree and save it. I have done some research and found that there is a system that is far
superior to all others. That system is called: Arbor Jet. I have given all the information to Mr. Rob Way
at Winnebago Cty. Parks Please call him and see the info. for yourself. I believe this system would
work out well for the county. (There are special municipality prices also.)
Thank you for your time.
