Over the last few years the neighborhood has begun to see signs of transition as long term residents move out and new homeowners move in. Recent efforts by residents, the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association, City of Oshkosh and partner organizations have centered on enhancing existing assets to provide stability and ensure the Millers Bay neighborhood continues to be one of choice in Oshkosh. This plan is prepared for the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association with the intent to support their efforts in addressing neighborhood challenges and promoting reinvestment. Created during a yearlong resident led planning process; the plan may be used by the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association, the City of Oshkosh, and partner organizations to ensure neighborhood improvements and activities are implemented to meet the needs of residents. ANALYSIS The Plan offers a brief history, current conditions, and outlines eight priority areas and explores each area and provides goals, objectives, and specific action items to achieve the intended goals. The Plan serves the following purposes: • Educate both city government and neighborhood residents about each other's concerns and visions for the future. • Promote collaboration between the City, the neighborhood, and local public, private and non-profit organizations in order to achieve mutual goals to enhance the neighborhood. • Create "pride of place" within the community by identifying and developing the assets within each neighborhood. • Initiate change, rather than simply reacting to it, by addressing specific issues and opportunities. • Strengthen the city by improving the quality of life in neighborhoods. The goals and objectives have been reviewed and do not conflict with the City's Comprehensive Plan, official maps, or other planning objectives of the City. FISCAL IMPACT It is not anticipated that additional city services will need to be provided beyond existing service levels that would require additional staffing. The Plan does however identify various activities that may involve funding allocations through the Healthy Neighborhoods funds, CDBG, or Great Neighborhoods CIP funding to carry out such activities as property acquisition, homebuyer incentives and rehabilitation grants. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission approved of this request at its October 6, 2015 meeting. Approved : _ __ ��. ��- Cit M�er Y 9 ITEM: APPROVE THE MILLERS BAY NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN Plan Commission meeting of October 6, 2015 BACKGROUND Staff requests approval of the Millers Bay Neighborhood Plan, which focuses on the neighborhood bounded by East New York Avenue (north side) on the south, Hazel Street (east side) on the west, East Murdock Avenue (south side) on the north and Menominee Drive (both sides) on the east. Over the last few years the neighborhood has begun to see signs of transition as long term residents move out and new homeowners move in. Recent efforts by residents, the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association, City of Oshkosh and partner organizations have centered on enhancing existing assets to provide stability and ensure the Millers Bay neighborhood continues to be one of choice in Oshkosh. The purpose of this review is for the Plan Commission to make a determination that the proposed goals and objectives in the Millers Bay Neighborhood Plan are consistent with the City's 2005- 2025 Comprehensive Plan, official maps, or other planning objectives of the City. ANALYSIS The City of Oshkosh-Planning Services Division in partnership with the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association have worked together to develop the Millers Bay Neighborhood Plan. The Plan serves the following purposes: • Educate both city government and neighborhood residents about each other's concerns and visions for the future. • Promote collaboration between the City, the neighborhood, and local public, private and non-profit organizations in order to achieve mutual goals to enhance the neighborhood. • Create "pride of place" within the community by identifying and developing the assets within each neighborhood. • Initiate change, rather than simply reacting to it, by addressing specific issues and opportunities. • Strengthen the city by improving the quality of life in neighborhoods. This plan is prepared for the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association with the intent to support their efforts in addressing neighborhood challenges and promoting reinvestment. Created during a yearlong resident led planning process; the plan may be used by the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association, the City of Oshkosh, and partner organizations to ensure neighborhood improvements and activities are implemented to meet the needs of residents. The plan first offers a brief neighborhood histary, followed by a snapshot of current conditions, including both assets and concerns identified throughout the planning process. The plan then outlines eight priority areas: Community Building, Housing, Land Use, Transportation, Economic Development, Utilities, Natural and Cultural Resources and Intergovernmental Cooperation. Individual sections explore each focus area, assess current conditions, and provide goals, objectives and specific action items to help achieve the intended goals. Prior to Council consideration, this plan is reviewed by the Plan Commission for consistency with the City's 2005-2025 Comprehensive Plan, official maps, and other planned activities of the City. Staff has reviewed all proposed goals and objectives and believes they do not conflict with the City of Oshkosh's Comprehensive Plan, official maps, ar other planning objectives of the City. RECOMMENDATIONS/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the Millers Bay Neighborhood Plan, together with a finding that the identified goals and objectives are not in conflict with the City of Oshkosh's Comprehensive Plan. The Plan Commission approved of the Millers Bay Neighborhood Plan as requested. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item. Ms. Williams presented the item and reviewed a map depicting the boundaries of the Millers Bay neighborhood and discussed the zoning classification for this area which is R-1 Single Family Residence District. She discussed the planning process for the development of this plan which started in 2014 including resident surveys and responses and resulted in staff presenting a draft plan to the neighborhood association in May of 2015. She also discussed how the plan was noticed and the public comment received and that in August of 2015 the final plan was reviewed and approved by the neighborhood association. She reviewed the eight elements of the plan which are community building, housing, land use, transportation, economic development, utilities, natural and cultural resources, and intergovernmental cooperation and gave a brief explanation of each element. Mr. Fojtik commented about flooding issues being a concern in this area and the proposal several years ago to remove a few homes to allow for the creation of a detention basin to serve this area and how these decisions by the city would affect the neighborhood plan. Ms. Williams responded that the purpose of the plan is to engage residents of the area when potential decisions are being made by the city and that the members of the neighborhood association would be notified when potential activities are planned giving them the opportunity to offer input. Mr. Gray questioned how the boundaries of the neighborhood were determined. Ms. Williams responded that the boundaries were determined by the residents of the neighborhood association and were voted on by the association at a meeting. Mr. Gray then questioned if the City was still working with NeighborWorks on neighborhood projects. Mr. Burich indicated that the local NeighborWorks office is currently not staffed so the City was not working with them at this time. Item - Review and Approval of the Millers Bay Nerghborhood Plan Mr. Gray commented that he was confused about the section of the plan relating to utilities. Ms. Williams explained that the residents have a strong desire to have the overhead utility wires placed underground at some point and would advocate to have this done when replacement was appropriate. Mr. Gray also noted that on page 17 of the plan that Action 1& 2listed was relating to interaction with the Police and Fire Departments and questioned how this would be addressed. Ms. Williams explained the formation of the association and its various committees and how they would address taking up action on items within the plan with these departments when necessary. She also explained the Board of Directors governing the association and how they intend to keep track of activities and accomplishments of the neighborhood association. Mr. Gray commented that he would like a description of what is considered a gateway to the city as it has been referenced a number of times in the past however he does not know what designates a gateway area. He also questioned Objective 1B on page 9 of the plan relating to the committee structure. Ms. Williams gave further explanation of how committees are formed and the process the neighborhood association utilizes in making decisions on behalf of the neighborhood residents. Mr. Gray stated that on page 11 of the plan that some of the actions look similar and that he would discuss this further with Ms. Williams after the meeting. Mr. Fojtik inquired if the City had developed a template for the neighborhood plans as the document appears to be very labor intensive. Ms. Williams responded that the City was attempting to streamline the process and the Plan Commission needed to make the determination if the elements contained in this plan as far as the goals and objectives were consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Motion by Nollenberger to approve the Millers Bay Neighborhood Plan with a finding that the proposed goals and objectives are not in conflict with the Ciry of Oshkosh's Comprehensive Plan.

The process was developed to identify what resident's value most within their neighborhood and to outline a clear vision of needs and priorities. The process is resident-led, resulting in a neighborhood plan that serves as a guide for investment in the neighborhood. Healthy neighborhoods are essential to the overall well being of Oshkosh and should be viewed as the strategic building blodcs of the oommunity. A neighborhood plan must strive to both eliminate elements that erode character and enhance elements that improve the quality of life for current and future residents. Architectural significance, pedestrian amenities, diversity, affordability, and proximity to services are several examples of assets Oshkosh neighborhoods possess. Preservation, stabilization, and revitalization strategies to protect these assets have been developed to ensure that Oshkosh's neighborhoods prosper. Below are the stepstaken to c�ompletethe neighborhood planning process: Survey Neighborhood Kick DfF E�ent Interest \� � . ,- Plan Visioning Plan Open House De�elopment �Qrkshops Working Group Plan Commission Plan and Cvmmvn Implementation Council Advption and Monitoring 1 E�ecutive �mmary The M illers Bay Neighborhood Plan focuses on the area, bounded by East New York Avenue (north side) on the south, Hazel �treet (east side) on the west, East MurdodcAvenue (south side) on the north and Menominee Drive (both sides) on the east. Over the last few years the neighborhood has begun to see signs of transition as long term residents move out and new homeowners move in. F�cent efforts by residents, the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association, City of Oshkosh and partner organizations have centered on enhancing existing assets to provide stability and ensure the Millers Bay neighborhood continuesto be one of choice in Oshkosh. �nce 2012, the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association (MBNA) has served the neighborhood in varying capacities, from social and cleanup events to formal planning activities in partnership with the CSty of Oshkosh, NeighborWorks Badgerland and the Oshkosh Area School District. In 2012, the CSty of Oshkosh approved the MBNA as a city reoognized neighborhood association. In 2014, the Millers Bay Planning Team was formed as a ooalition of residents to support neighborhood stabilization. This plan is prepared for the MBNA with the intent to support their efforts, to maintain the existing neighborhood character and ensure Millers Bay oontinuesto be a neighborhood of choice. Created during a six month resident-led planning effort, the plan may be used by the MBNA, C�ty of Oshkosh, and partner organizations to ensure neighborhood improvements and activities are implemented to meet the needsof the residentswho residethere. The plan first offers a brief history, followed by a snapshot of the neighborhood's current demographic profile and a list of assets and opportunities identified throughout the planning process. The plan then outlines eight priority areas: Community Building, Housing, Land Use, Transportation, Economic Development, Utilities, Natural and Q.�Itural F�sources and Intergovernmental Cooperation. Individual sections explore each focus area, assess current conditions, and provide goals, objectives and specific action items to help achieve the intended goals. Planning for a neighborhood must always involve the most important stakeholders — its residents and property owners. The plan was researched and drafted under the guidance of the MBNA leadership, residents and city staff. Preliminary recommendations were shared at a public participation event where the resulting oonversations and oomments were used to shape final recommendationsfor the plan. Once the neighborhood plan is approved, an implementation plan will be drafted by the neighborhood association to ensure progress is made towards achieving the stated goals. The implementation plan will outline specific and time-bound steps to be taken to ensure plan elements are sucxessfully carried out. Additionally, the implementation plan will provide performance measuresto trackthe progressof future efforts. � Introduction In 2011, a core group of residents located in the area bounded by East New York Avenue, Hazel �treet, Ea�t Murdodc Avenue and Menominee Drive, formed around the desire to preserve and enhance their neighborhood. The first general membership meeting of the neighborhood association was held in May, 2012 and approximately 80 residents attended. Those in attendance agreed upon the neighborhood boundaries, name, purpose, and organizational bylaws. �nce 2012, the neighborhood association has coordinated bi-annual general membership meetingswhich are noticed to all residents livingwithin the neighborhood by email or flyer aswell as the neighborhood website, www.millersbayneiqhborhood.orq. Multiple committees were established including: Beautification, Communication, Grievance, Membership, �fety, and Social. Additional suboommitteeswere created to begin working on neighborhood goalsand activities. The neighborhood association has organized � �- �� .`rqs :y x major social events that include participation �� - �� ' y► * - '��, �, �`� �� ` �' �� in Neighborhood Night Out (pictured on the , �� ;'�°�� 4��°��'� �� ;��:'� �' ` .�„�= �,�`� right), a city-wide blodc party event organized ��'' � ,: �� '� "' � ?� " ;�`' � ° ' � � a� by neighborhood groups. The neighborhood '° ''� "�� ""�� ' � ;.��,:k _ � � association also began hosting Clean 9�veep, � "'�•�=��=�� ; �;�,��- �� .. which has beoome an annual event to address �, � � ,, ,� � h -. ,� � � . �` �„' il �4 , �� y ! � .� i.a. litter within the neighborhood and .�`��, -� � � � " ' �_ �, � s Menominee Park. During the winter months, the neighborhood association hosts a holiday deoorating contest, door-to-door caroling and visit/caroling at a local nursing home. Hibernation Happy Hour has also beoome a popular event to provide an opportunity for residents to get together over thewinter at a local restaurant. In 2012, the Millers Bay Beautification Committee partnered with the Parks Department to develop plans to beautify the George Washington monument, which is located on a small triangular tract of land between Menominee Drive, Hazel �treet and E New York Avenue. The Millers Bay Beautification Committee has also partnered with the Oshkosh Area 9chool District, Emmeline Cook PTO, North9iore Neighborhood Association, C�ty of Oshkosh, NeighborWorks Badgerland and Oshkosh Area Community Foundation to develop a master plan (pictured on the left) for the school campus to address years of deferred maintenance in their pursuit to enhance Emmeline Cook Dementary 5chool. A timeline of neighborhood association activities by oommittee oompleted between May, 2014 and May, 2015 can be found in Appendix A. 3 In June of 2014, the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association became the second neighborhood to begin working with C�ty staff to develop a neighborhood plan. Over the oourse of a year, residents worked with staff to identify goals and objectives that would address current and future priorities of the neighborhood. The purpose of a neighborhood plan is to develop strategies that address priorities, and lay the foundation for oollaborative efforts between the public and private sectors to help implement plan recommendations. Morespecifically, neighborhood plansare intended to: • Educate local agencies, city government and neighborhood residents about each other's concerns and visionsfor the future. • Promote collaboration between the City, the neighborhood, and local public, private and non-profit organizations in order to achieve mutual goals to enhance the neighborhood. • Create "pride of place" within the oommunity by identifying and developing the assets within each neighborhood. • Initiate change, rather than simply reacting to it, by addressing specific issues and opportunities. •�trengthen the city by improving the quality of life in its neighborhoods. During the planning process, residents reoognized � ..� ��:' Y. many locational advantages of the neighborhood, .._,�,. ��. ��` such as the proximity to Lake Winnebago and ��- -�. _ � ,. �J �� a� Menominee Park, an elementary and middle � �:� �; � � ' � , �� .. :�. �.` - �� school within walking distance and acxess to trails n�~ �' ' 3`�� and recreational amenities. F�sidents also rec�ognized the need to preserve and enhance _.. these assets to protect the equity in their _- -! '- property and the desireablity of the neighborhood. Continued efforts by the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association will focus on resident oonnections and identified neighborhood assetsto reinforce a positive image and ensure the Millers Bay neighborhood continuesto be one of choice in Oshkosh. � Neiphborhood History The Millers Bay neighborhood area began developing in the 1940's. Until then most of the land, both north and south of East Murdodc, was owned by Harold Doemel, who operated a large dairy farm. His home was located at what's now the northwest oorner of Hidcory and M urdodc. The land he farmed was mostly on the north side of Murdodc, as the south side of M urdodc Avenue was predom inately marshland. In the 1940's, rubble from the rec�onstruction of Jadcson �treet was used to start filling in the marsh. 9�ortly after, the marsh, which was still part of the Town of Oshkosh, was used as the town dump for about three years. The photo on the right depictsthe time period. Note the town dump on the left side of the picture. Around 1950, Louie Graber bought the marsh from the Doemel family and petitioned to have it annexed into the city. Graber's purchase oombined with the annexation immediately led to homes being built along the entire length of Menominee Drive (pictured left), and rapid development on Doemel and Northpoint �treets. Graber was also instrumental in developing and platting out what became White 9�van, Graber and Cliffview �treets. Many of the early homes built along Menominee and Northpoint initially had major flooding issues every time it rained, due to the marshland the neighborhood was built on. This problem was eventually resolved. The proximity of what was then Mercy Hospital prompted many of the doctors in Oshkosh, at that time, to build in this area. Everyone who built or bought homes on the northeast side of Oshkosh and had elementary school aged children at first had only Longfellow as a public school option; Longfellow was located behind the former Mercy Hospital. At that time, Webster �tanley was strictly a junior high school. The areas rapid development prompted the building of Emmeline Cook Dementary School in 1954, which is visible in the photo on the right. White 9�van built up rapidly in the 1960's, but it wouldn't be until the mid-1980's when Graber and Cliffview would beoome fully developed. 5 E�istina Demoaraphic Pi-ofile Demographic data obtained from E�I Community Analyst is included below to better understand how the population living in the Millers Bay neighborhood oomparesto Oshkosh asawhole.

Next, residents were asked to identify goals for each priority area that the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association, C�ty of Oshkosh, and future partners oould work towards over the next three to five years. The eight goals that were developed are listed below.

The following pages provide a detailed overview. E:3 Community Building Social oonnections are an important component of quality of life. Knowing your neighbors provides a sense of safety in your surroundings and makes it easier to determine when someone or something is out of place. Acoording to the neighborhood survey, 86%of respondents indicated knowing their neighbor very well or somewhat well. Based on individual oomments received in the survey, there was a desire to preserve social connections as current residents move out and new ones move in.

There are many examples of raised and split-level ranches which were a popular architectural style during the above time period. Prairie �tyle architecture can also be found throughout the neighborhood, including the design of Emmeline Cook Bementary School. Many of the homes within the neighborhood are well maintained with landscaped yards which are tended to with pride by existing �� .. `� �- �' �:a� ��4.;�:F,:. homeowners. Throughout the planning process residents agreed upon the importance of well maintained housing and the influence it has on desirability of the neighborhood. F�sidents felt it was important to maintain a high standard of maintenance and new oonstruction within the neighborhood to protect equity of existing and future homeowners. Based on data obtained from E�I Community Analyst the neighborhood housing stodc is 87.9% owner occupied. It is important to note that not all homes that are oonsidered to be non-owner occx.�pied are actually rental housing. Properties oonsidered to be non-owner occupied also represent homes that are currently vacant, listed on the market for sale, are not the owner's primary residence (i.e. vacation or secondary home.

The C�ty of Oshkosh Pedestrian and Bicycle CSrculation Plan was approved in 2011 and rec�ommends strategies for improving bicycle and pedestrian transportation throughout the Oshkosh area. Millers Bay residents indicated a strong desire for a safe, efficient and diverse transportation network within the neighborhood to support the active residents that live there. The Pedestrian and Bicycle CSrculation Plan reoommends East Murdodc Avenue, Menominee Drive, East Nevada Avenue and East New York Avenue as prefered bike routes in the neighborhood. The reoommended type of bike facility to be installed is indicated on the P�destrian and Bicycle Plan F�oommended Facilitiesmap in AppendixA. �trategies below have been developed to ensure the Millers Bay neighborhood oontinues to promote safe, efficient and diverse modesof transportaion.

This approach to revitalization is most closely associated with neighborhood strategist David Boehlke, who has made creating healthy neighborhoods his life's work. This theory is also referred to as the market approach to neighborhood revitalization, or a process to create "Neighborhoods of Choice." A Healthy Neighborhood is defined as a place where it makes eoonomic sense for people to invest time, money, and energy; and where neighbors sucxessfully manage day-to-day issues. F�cent sales within the Millers Bay neighborhood indicate there is demand in the real estate market. Homeswithin the neighborhood that were purchased between 2010 and 2015 on average sold for 98%of their assessed value. The map of the right showsthe location of homes sold in the neighborhood between 2010 and 2015. Future efforts identified below wi II focus on promot ing the M illers Bay neighborhood as one of choice.

The neighborhood-wide survey highlighted resident ooncern related to flooding in the neighborhood. The M illers Bay neighborhood was developed on former marsh land which has historically caused flooding issues within the neighborhood. The C�ty of Oshkosh PublicWorks Department oontracted with �rand Associates, Inc. to develop strategiesto address flooding concerns througout the community. The goals for the City's storm water management approach are asfollows: • F�duce health and safety impactsdueto street and propertyflooding • F�duce the amount of clear water impact to sanitary sewer system • Improve water quality • Biminate street surcharging for up to 10-year design storm • Maintain street driveablity for up to 25-year design storm • Contain street surcharging within right-of-way for up to 100 year design storm Progress has been made to meet many of the goals of the City's storm water management approach; however, there is still work that can be done to ensure both private and public utilities are well maintained and provide for the needs of residents. The objectives below were developed to ensure residentsare informed of flood mitigation strategiesand available incentive programsto address concerns.

Q.�Itural resources include historic buildings and monuments aswell as ancient and historic archeological sites. Cultural resources could also be viewed as stories of residents that have lived in the neighborhood for many years. The Millers Bay neighborhood is boardered by Menominee Park and Lake Winnebago on the east which are two examples of natural resources available to residents. Lake Winnebago provides year round acxess to recreational opportunities and events. Menominee Park is utilized for many of the neighborhood association's social events and provides residentsacxessto milesof walkingand bikingtrails. In 2012, members of the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association Beautification Committee partnered with Parks Department staff to enhance the George Washington Monument, located on a triangular tract of land between East New York Avenue, Menominee Drive, and Hazel �treet. The project oommittee enlisted the help of F�ttler Corporation, a professional design firm out of �evens Pbint, Wisoonsin, to develop a ooncept plan for the site. Fnal improvements including a new pathway, flag pole, lighting and landscaping beds, were completed during the summer of 2015 as part of the City's Great Neighborhood Program. Continued efforts to enoourage the preservation of natural and cultural resources have been identified below.

F�sidents expressed a desire to ensure oommunication, c�ollaboration and 000peration between those organizationsthat influence the Millers Bay neighborhood. Developing strategiesthat ensure collaboration will further sucxesswhen implementing the neighborhood plan. The development of a neighborhood plan helpsthe CSty of Oshkosh understand the vision and goalsof residents living in the M illers Bay neighborhood and show oommitment to supporting the neighborhood's activities.

The survey asked residents to identify assets they valued and ooncerns they felt should be addressed within the neighborhood. Each property within the neighborhood received a letter with a link to an online version in addition to a oopy of the survey which oould be returned via a self addressed envelope. Atotal of 144 surveyswere oollected (48% response rate) and the following graphs provide an overview of the results. � � How long have you lived in Millers Bay? � ■ ��ss �n��, on� Y�ar ■ 1 to 5 ycars �� z � 5 Lo 10 yea rs ' ■ Morc fhan 10 yca rs How well do you know your neighbors? o �, �>>� i �VeryWell Talkorger �%� togeLher once a week or �,ot� ■SomewhatWell Talkor see each other occa slon a I I y Na�VeryWell We[alkor see cach oLher a couplc timesa ycar ■ �bLAt All I d� not know mynCighbor'S namc5 Are you familiar with the existing neighborhood association? R F 44, ■ Ycs ■ No Approximately 73%of respondents have lived in the neighborhood for over 10 years. Length of residencey is a key quality of life indicator when looking at stability of a neighborhood. There were multiple oomments throughout the survey noting the number of new residents moving into the neighborhood. Social oonnections are another important quality of life indicator when looking at the health of a neighborhood. 86% of respondents indicated knowing each other very well or somewhat well. Knowing your neighbors provides a sense of safety in your surroundings. It is also much easier to know when someone or something is out of place. The Millers Bay Neighborhood Association has developed a system of keeping residents informed including emails, door-to-door flyers and a neighborhood website. Acoording to survey respondents, 91% were aware of the existing neighborhood association. F�sident engagement is critical to sustaining efforts in the neighborhood.
