TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Darryn Burich
Director of Planning Services
DATE: October 4, 2012
RE: Approve Granting Easement to Wisconsin Public Service on the WIOUWASH
Trail, North Side of River Mill Road (Plan Commission recommends approval)
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located in a low- density residential neighborhood east of the Fox
River and south of Riverside Cemetery. The proposed easement is 12 -foot wide by
approximately 237 feet long, located on the east side of City -owned property currently used
as the trail head for the WIOUWASH recreation trail. An existing gas main, scheduled to be
abandoned, is currently located within a 6 -foot wide easement located on the property.
ANALYSIS
Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) is proposing to replace an existing 12 -inch natural gas main
extending from W. New York Avenue proceeding along Summit Avenue, Arboretum Drive,
River Mill Road to Algoma Boulevard. The petitioner states that portions of the Fox River
seawall are in poor condition making repair and maintenance of the main difficult and that the
proposed relocation of the gas main will enable WPS easier access for long -term
maintenance and repair. Most of the project is occurring in public right -of -way however the
gas main north of River Mill Road is on private property requiring WPS to acquire appropriate
easements. The proposed construction will not have a negative impact on the surrounding
area and will not affect the current use of the property as the trail head for the WIOUWASH
trail and will not interfere with any City utilities. Appropriate easement documents will be
reviewed by the City Attorney and signed by both parties and recorded at the Winnebago
County Register of Deeds.
FISCAL IMPACT
None anticipated.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission approved of this request at its October 2, 2012 meeting.
Approved,
City Manager
ITEM: GRANT UTILITY EASEMENT FOR PRIVATE GAS MAIN LOCATED ON
WIOUWASH TRAIL PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF RIVER MILL
ROAD
Plan Commission meeting of October 2, 2012
GENERAL INFORMATION
Petitioner: Wisconsin Public Service Corporation
Owner: City of Oshkosh
Action Requested:
Wisconsin Public Service Corporation is requesting a utility casement on a City -owned
WIOUWASH recreation trail property located north of River Mill Road,
Applicable Ordinance Provisions: NIA
Property Location and Type /Analysis:
The subject property is located in a low - density residential neighborhood east of the Fox River and
south of Riverside Cemetery. The proposed easement is 12 -foot wide by approximately 237 feet
long, located on the cast side of City -owned property currently used as the trail head for the
WIOUWASH recreation trail. An existing gas main, scheduled to be abandoned, is currently
located within a 6 -foot wide easement located on the property.
Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) is proposing to replace an existing 12 -inch natural gas main
extending from W. New York Avenue, then north along Summit Avenue, Arboretum Drive and
River Mill Road, then continuing north along the subject City property, then finally east along
private property to Algoma Boulevard. The petitioner states in their narrative that portions of the
Fox River seawall are in poor condition which has lead to deteriorating soil conditions making
repair and maintenance of the main difficult. The proposed relocation of the gas main will enable
WPS easier access for long -term maintenance and repair. Most of the project is occurring in
public right -of -way in which WPS can locate their utilities by right; however, the proposed gas
main north of River Mill Road is located on private property requiring WPS to acquire appropriate
easements, one being from the City.
Staff does not have any concerns with the easement request as there is already a smaller existing
casement on the property and that WPS is seeking to update their infrastructure. The proposed
construction will not have a negative impact on the surrounding area and will not affect the current
use of the property as the trail head for the WIOUWASH Trail. The Department of Public Works
has been working with the petitioner to make sure that the proposed gas main will not interfere
with any City utilities. Appropriate easement documents will be reviewed by the City Attorney
and be signed by both parties. After review by the Plan Commission and approval by the
Common Council, the easement will be recorded at the Winnebago County Register of Deeds.
RECOMMENDATION /CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of the granting of the proposed private utility easement as requested.
The Plan Commission approved of the proposed easement as requested. The following is the Plan
Commission's discussion on this item.
Mr. Bowen stated the Trail in this area is used a lot and he would like to keep the trail open as
much as possible during construction.
Mr. Steve Gohde, Oshkosh Department of Public Works, stated staff has reviewed the request and
is recommending the easement location be moved to run 12 feet wide parallel to the northeast
property line to allow for future City utility installation in this area as well.
Motion by Bowen to approve granting a utility easement to TVisconsin Public Service with
the following conditions:
1) The easement run 12 feet wide parallel to the northeast property line.
2) Every effort be made to keep the WIOUWASH Trail open to the public dining
installation/construction of the gas line.

Wisconsin Public Service has learned that portions of the Fox River wall in the River Mill
subdivision area are in poor condition leading to soil conditions in the area that make repair and
maintenance of our pipeline difficult. Currently, a 12 -inch natural gas main runs through the area
near the river from New York Avenue to the north end River-Mill subdivision (see map).
Accordingly, for safety reasons, WPS will relocate the gas main which will make it easier for
landowner work near the river as well as future City. of Oshkosh road construction on New York
Avenue.
The new route will be within road right -of -way along Arboretum Drive and through the western
parts of-River Mill subdivision as indicated on the enclosed map. We are requesting an easement
along the WIOUWASH trail in the area indicated on the attached map.
