RE: 402 W. 9th Avenue
Dear Resident:
It has been brought to our attention that you are conducting a
rummage/garage sale use on an ongoing/reqular basis .
Please be advised that under the City's Zoning Ordinance sections 30-
15(A) , 30-16(A) , 30-17(A) , 30-18(A) , and 3(A) Permitted Uses of the R-1
thru R-5 Residential Zoning Districts commercial activities in a
residential zoning district are prohibited. However, the Zoning
Ordinance allows rummage/garage sales if the activity does not exceed 4
days in duration and/or occur more often than once per month. Any sales
activity which exceeds the above referenced quidelines is in violation
of the City's Zoning Ordinance and is prohibited.
Also be advised that section 134. 71 of the Wisconsin State Statutes `
requires a business that deals in the resale of any used articles must
obtain and hold a current second-hand dealers license. Application for `
a second-hand ciealers license can be made through the City Clerk's
office. But bear in mind that issuance of a second-hand dealers license
does not alleviate a property owner of the responsibility to comply with
all other applicable city codes such as the above referenced Zoning
Code.
In consideration of the above mentioned sections of the Oshkosh �
Municipal Code, and Wisconsin Statutes, we ask you to review your
current activities to make sure they comply with the required ordinances
and laws .
If you have any questions in regard to the City's zoning standards,
contact the Department of Community Development at 236-5059, or if you
have any questions in regard to the licensinq process, feel free to
contact my office at 236-5011 . r
Sincerely,
CITY OF OSHKOSH
