I. Appeal by James Lang, Agent for Lang Oil , Incorpora�ed,
�
owner of 305 Ohio Street , proposes to build an addition `
to an existing building at 305 Ohio, which would be located
0 ' from the south property line , whereas a 5 ' side yard
setback is required. -
Mr. Reimer explained that Mr. Lang wishes to construct a 40 `
X 100 ' structure. ;
Mr. Lang explained that the building would be used to house �
semi-trailers for bulk petrolium. Because of the existing block �
building and the location of a gas pump on the property, it is r
difficult to get another structure on the lot without a variance �
from the property line setback. The property is zoned M-1 F'
Light Industrial District . �
Mr. Reimer explained that because there is residential zoning `
adjacent to this M-1 property, a 5 ' side yard setback is required. `
He asked Mr. Lang what type of roof the new building would have. E
€
Mr. Lang answered that the roof would be flat �and slanted toward �
the rear of the building. He also stated that the metal building `
and trailer located on the property would be removed. There would �
also be some off ice and storage space in the proposed building.

Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes
August 1, 1979 Meeting
Page Three
Mr. Lang said that he could slant the building and parking so
that all run-off water ran toward 3rd Avenue and on to the storm
sewer in Ohio Street . He said that he is not planning on using
the new building for a liquor store,
� Mr. Fischer reminded the Board that if Mr. Lang built this building
5 ' from the side property line , he could build it without any
conditions to improve the drainage problem.
David Werner said that the neighbors would be willing to allow
this variance from the setback requirements if this drainage
problem could be met , and if the building were not unattractive.
Norman Miller made a motion to approve this variance with the
condition that the building and parking be constructed so that all
run-off water runs toward 3rd Avenue and on to the Ohio Street
storm sewer.
Mr. Fischer seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-l.
II. Appeal by Carlton Williams , Agent fo"r the City of Oshkosh,
owners of the property at the co .x��r. a£. the _a.ntersection
of High _Avenue and Congress Avenue. The proposed sign is
in addition to another sign on the property and is located
within the vision clearance area of the intersection.
Robert Hruska was present to represent Mr. Williams of the Oshkosh
Public Museum.
Mr. Reimer explained that there is an existing sign located on
the front of the Museum. The proposed sign would be l � from the
property line, and would be 3 1/2 ' above the vision clearance,
Mr. Hrusl:a explained that the sign would be located on the corner
of a three-street intersection. Because High Avenue is a one-way
street , there would be no reason for this sign to block vision,
since no one will be looking that way for traffic . The sign will
be attractive to enhance the Museum property.
� Mrs. Jeannette Hicks , 1224 Algoma Blvd. , said she has no objections
to this variance.
Mr. LaLond made a motion to approve this appeal.
Mr. Batzner seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0 .
