RE:
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
Darryn Burich
Director of Planning Services
December 5, 2013
Set Public Hearing Date to Vacate Portion of 1300 Block of Oshkosh Avenue (Plan
Commission recommends approval)
BACKGROUND
Council is being asked to set a public hearing date for a proposed vacation of the north side of the
1300 block of Oshkosh Avenue. The area in this request involves approximately 3,500 square feet of
right -of -way that formerly was used as the pavement location of Oshkosh Avenue prior to the U.S.
Highway 41/State Highway 21 reconstruction. The surrounding area has a mix of various uses
including single family and commercial along the north side of Oshkosh Avenue, and residential uses
along the south side of Oshkosh Avenue /N. Koeller Street. State Statutes require that the public
hearing be held no less than 40 days after the introductory resolution which would set the public
hearing date for this request no earlier than the Council's January 28 meeting.
ANALYSIS
Since the Wisconsin Department of Transportation began work on U.S. Highway 41 /State Highway 21
interchange, the construction of the highway overpass and roundabouts realigned Oshkosh Avenue
from its original centerline location leaving a large remnant of land that serves no practical use to the
public. The petitioner approached the city to request vacation of the unused land area to increase the
land area of his three adjacent parcels for eventual marketing and commercial redevelopment. The
City feels it would be advantageous to retain a 15 -foot wide strip along the back of the sidewalk as
right -of -way for possible expansion of a multi -use trail connection as well as the city utilities located
within the proposed vacated area which would limit development in this area to green space or off -
street parking. Upon vacation, the adjoining property owners will receive the north half of the vacated
right -of -way which will lessen the impact of setback requirements for future redevelopment.
FISCAL IMPACT
No impact is anticipated other than placing the vacated portion of right -of -way back onto the tax roll
when it becomes part of the adjoining properties.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission approved of this request at its November 19, 2013 meeting
Approved,
Cit anager

ANALYSIS
Beginning in 2011, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation began work on U.S. Highway
41 /State Highway 21 interchange. The work included a flipping of the highway overpass and
construction of roundabouts serving the highways and adjacent frontage roads. The approach
leading into the eastern -most roundabout realigned Oshkosh Avenue to a southwesterly orientation
from its original centerline location along a public land survey section line. After the street
reconstruction and installation of public sidewalk, a large remnant area of land was created that
serves no practical use to the public.
The petitioner approached the city to request vacation of the unused lands up to the sidewalk to
increase the land area of his three adjacent parcels for eventual marketing and commercial
redevelopment of the properties. Staff reviewed his request and agreed that most of the land is not
needed to be retained by the city. However, the city feels it would be advantageous to retain a 15-
foot wide strip along the back of the sidewalk as right -of -way for possible expansion of a multi -use
trail connecting the recently completed Heritage Crossing of the WIOUWASH State Trail.
Currently the Bike and Pedestrian Plan does not identify a connection from the east side to the
west side of the city along State Highway 21 /Oshkosh Avenue. The plan only shows a trail along
the shoreline of Lake Butte des Morts on the Municipal Golf Course property and it is thought that
another route is needed along Oshkosh Avenue to serve more commuter traffic.
The Department of Public Works has reviewed the request and does not have any concerns with
the vacation retaining the 15 -foot right -of -way strip. There are city utilities located within the
proposed vacated area and therefore, any development on the vacated area will be limited to green
space or possibly off - street parking.
Upon vacation, the three adjoining property owners will receive the north half of the vacated right-
of-way adjacent to their property with the city taking ownership of the south half. At a later date,
it is anticipated the city will dispose of its half to the petitioner.
Staff feels the right-of-way is no longer needed by the City and supports the vacation. The
removal of the right-of-way will lessen the impact of setback requirements for future
redevelopment of the petitioner's properties.
RECOMMENDATION /CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of the partial vacation of the 1800 block of Oshkosh Avenue as
requested.
The Plan Commission approved of the partial street vacation of the 1800 block of Oshkosh
Avenue as requested. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item.
Mr. Buck presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as an aerial view
of the site and explained the reasoning for the vacation request, which was due to the
reconfiguration of Oshkosh Avenue with the reconstruction of the Highway 41 /State Highway 21
interchange. After the realignment of Oshkosh Avenue, a remnant area of land was created that
serves no practical use to the public with the exception of the City's desire to retain a 15 -foot wide
strip along the back of the sidewalk as right -of -way for potential future trail purposes and the
presence of city utilities within the proposed vacated area.
Mr. Thorns questioned if an easement was necessary in the vacated area for the utilities present.
Item — .Partial Street Vacation of the 1800 Block of Oshkosh Avenue
Mr. Burich responded that the easement was not necessary in this case as it is provided for in the
state statutes as standard protocol with a street vacation.
Mr, Bowen inquired about the process that the city has to follow with road reconstruction projects
as he felt that partial street vacations due to reconstruction should have some mechanism to allow
for the vacations of areas no longer necessary without having to go through the process of Plan
Commission and Common Council vacation actions.
Mr. Burich replied that the process can be initiated by either the petitioner or staff as it is not built
into the road reconstruction process and, in this case, the request was by the petitioner. The city
will review the area at a future date to see if any other areas can be vacated due to unusable
remnants left from the reconstruction of the highway and installation of the roundabouts.
Mr. Thorns questioned if the area to the east of the subject site was also going to be vacated.
Mr. Burich indicated that this area will be maintained as right- of-way until such a time that the
adjacent property owner is interested in acquiring the land.
Norm Mueller, 437 Hazel Street, petitioner for the request, stated that he has owned properties in
this area for a number of years and the piece of land that is remaining from the realignment of the
road is too small to be developable and he would maintain the parcel with his property, He also
thanked Mr. Burich for his cooperation and guidance in this matter.
Motion by Thoms to approve the partial street vacation of the north side of the 1800 block
of Oshkosh Avenue.
Seconded by Borsuk Motion carried 7 -0.
