Public Hearing: Spot Blight Designation 1218 Oshkosh Avenue Chairman Cummings opened the public hearing on the proposed spot blight designation for 1218 Oshkosh Avenue No one appeared and the public hearing was closed. Res. 16-04 Approve Spot Blight Designation; Approve Acquisition of Property at 1218 Oshkosh Avenue ($150,000) Motion by Belter to move Res. 16-04 Seconded by Stam Mr. Hintz inquired about the cost of the property. Mr. Davis responded that 1208 and 1212 Oshkosh Avenue were in much worse shape than this building,which is why the price of 1218 Oshkosh Avenue is greater. 1218 Oshkosh Avenue is the last piece needed on Oshkosh Avenue to make road improvements at the intersection of Sawyer Street and Oshkosh Avenue.The payment for 1218 Oshkosh Avenue will be made over the next 2 years. Mr. Belter inquired about other properties needed for the road improvements. Mr. Davis stated there may be a properties on the north side of the alley which would need to be acquired to extend Sawyer Street to Rainbow Avenue.The City will know more when a traffic study and design are completed. The item was called. Motion carried 4-0. RDA Minutes March 16, 2016 Page 2 Public Hearing: Spot Blight Designation 1017 Bowen Street Chairman Cummings opened the public hearing on the proposed spot blight designation for 1017 Bowen Street No one appeared and the public hearing was closed. Res. 16-05 Approve Spot Blight Designation; Approve Acquisition of Property at 1017 Bowen Street ($20,000) Motion by Belter to move Res. 16-05 Seconded by Hintz Mr. Hintz stated many properties in the City are in need of rehabilitation and he had no issues with the properties being blighted and acquired. He is unsure the direction the City is taking when selecting the properties to be acquired. He inquired if there were guidelines to be followed when selecting these homes and if they are concentrated to certain neighborhoods or scattered sites. Mr. Davis responded he does not know of specific guidelines since the properties acquired are ones offered to the City by property owners or Winnebago County. Staff goes through the list and determines if the properties are in Neighborhood Associations or part of redevelopment areas. In cases where there are scattered site acquisitions, the property is typically in a Neighborhood Association. Mr.Hintz inquired if the City receives HUD foreclosure listings. Ms. Brandt responded negatively. Mr. Hintz stated he has looked at homes on the HUD list and they seem to be a good bargain but in need of extensive rehabilitation. This might be something that is looked at systematically when considering acquiring houses. Mr. Hintz stated he would like to see some more set guidelines when selecting homes. Mr. Belter stated he would like to see a focus pattern where certain blocks or areas are worked on and the guidelines be defined and refined. Possibly a ranking of bad homes or blocks that need rehabilitation. Mr. Cummings stated that is the direction GO-HNI will going, once it is formed. He inquired if it is possible to make money on these homes. Ms. Brandt responded it is possible to make money on the property but it will have to follow certain regulations because it is federal money. Mr. Davis stated this property is the first project of its kind the City has taken on and feels it is a good candidate because of its potential resale value. Mr. Belter inquired who was managing the projects. RDA Minutes March 16, 2016 Page 3 Mr. Davis responded that Ken Gresser, Housing Rehabilitation Specialist for the City of Oshkosh, will oversee the projects and will bid out the work. Mr. Hintz stated he hopes to expand the list of properties and determine some geographic boundaries. Mr. Belter agreed that there needs to be some direction when selecting and rehabilitating homes. Mr. Stam stated he would like a report back to the RDA when the project concludes. Ms. Brandt stated the City hopes to hold an open house because it is the first project of its kind and to show residents what the City can do to help improve the neighborhoods. The item was called. Motion carried 4-0 Public Hearing: Spot Blight Designation 503 Waugoo Avenue Chairman Cummings opened the public hearing on the proposed spot blight designation for 503 Waugoo Avenue No one appeared and the public hearing was closed. Res. 16-06 Approve Spot Blight Designation; Approve Acquisition of Property at 503 Waugoo Avenue ($22,090.09 Plus Closing Costs) Motion by Belter to move Res. 16-06 Seconded by Hintz Mr. Cummings inquired about the demolition date for the property. Mr. Davis stated there is no set date for demolition. Once the City closes, the property will undergo asbestos abatement and then get bids for the demo. The item was called. Motion carried 4-0. Res. 16-07 Determination of Necessity; Establish Fair Market Value; Authorize Purchase of Property at 302 Merritt Avenue ($28,186.80 Plus Closing Costs) Motion by Belter to move Res. 16-07 Seconded by Stam Ms. Brandt stated the reason this property does not need to be spot blighted is because it is already in the approved Middle East Neighborhood which is a redevelopment area. The home is historic due to contributing factors, so the City will need to get approval from the state historical society to rehab or demo the property. Mr. Stam inquired how the property was determined historic. Ms. Brandt stated the house is one of the oldest in Oshkosh. RDA Minutes March 16, 2016 Page 4 Mr. Davis stated a historical review of the property will need to be done and determine if it meets section 4F of the historic preservation. Mr. Hintz inquired if the property was in sufficiently poor shape that it is a demolition candidate. Mr. Davis confirmed the property’s exterior is in bad shape but the City has not been inside yet to determine if it is salvageable. Mr. Hintz inquired if the property has been vacant for a while. Ms. Brandt responded the property has been vacant for about 2 years. There is a large hole in the roof and the exterior is in bad shape. It seems to be beyond repair. Mr. Hintz stated this brings up the issue of housing code.The property has sat like this for a while. Mr. Davis stated there have been code violations written up on the property however there was no property owner to make the corrections, which is why Winnebago County has it for back taxes. The item was called. Motion carried 4-0. Executive Director’s Report Mr. Davis stated the City submitted two grants totaling $300,000 for the Buckstaff property and have no word yet from WEDC. The City is anticipating a response in April and is optimistic about the grant. Mr. Belter inquired how WEDC scores the grants. Mr. Davis stated WEDC has not distributed any type of point value or scoring system. They look at the impact of the project on the community, economic potential and the leverage they are getting out of their grant.Mr. Davis believes the City has maximized those points when submitting the grants. Mr. Davis stated Greater Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative (GO-HNI) is a new 501c3 that has been created to work in concert with the City of Oshkosh and RDA when it comes to working on projects in neighborhoods. GO-HNI is the replacement for Neighborworks,who didn’t see Oshkosh as a good long term fit. Healthy Neighborhoods has been well received by the board and have started working on fundraising for the new 501c3. Mr.Belter inquired what the budget is for GO-HNI. Mr. Davis stated the budget was still in a state of flux because the number of staff is still unknown. The City will donate about 1/3 of funds for the first year. It is anticipated to be around $200,000 to $300,000 budget. Mr. Hintz inquired where GO-HNI is currently based. Mr. Davis stated GO-HNI is currently run out of the City because a staff member was hired to put together the 501c3. The City position ends in May and that position will have to move over to GO- HNI. GO-HNI is our version of Neighborworks. RDA Minutes March 16, 2016 Page 5 Mr. Cummings stated GO-HNI hopes to become Neighborworks Oshkosh in the future because of training and benefits that are available to Neighborworks employees. Mr. Hintz inquired outside of City funds, where is the money being raised to start GO-HNI and who is raising them. Mr. Davis stated funds will come from foundations in the area. A city staff member and the board is working on fundraising. Bill Wyman is the Chair of the GO-HNI board. Mr. Davis stated the kayak and canoe launch will be installed at Boatworks soon and a grand opening of Boatworks will be planned this spring. Mr. Belter stated he visited Boatworks Riverwalk and was impressed by the approach and bridge overlooking the river. He stated it is a good addition to the city. Mr. Davis stated the construction is continuing on the Riverwalk East of Oregon Street to Dockside Tavern. The next phase will take place this year starting at the end of the Boatworks Bridge to the lagoon at Morgan District.A grant was submitted on behalf of the Morgan District for private infrastructure improvements to the site. The grant is being reviewed by WEDC and has made it past the first phase in the grant review. Mr. Belter inquired if the City has pushed for private funding for the Riverwalk. Mr. Davis stated the City has not assessed for anything or raised private funds other than the land that has been donated. Mr. Belter stated putting in the few remaining riverwalk segments using private money versus waiting five years for public funding, might move up the timeline by a few years for completing the Riverwalk and be a really neat thing for Oshkosh. Mr. Davis stated the TIF application for Morgan District has been submitted and the TIF would be paying for the Riverwalk in that district. Another big project in the South Shore Redevelopment area is the Pioneer. Mr. Art Dumke is still working with the City on different funding options for development of the property. Mr. Andy Dumke has acquired the Granary and the City has recently adopted a Historic Building Code so he can rehab the building. Mr. Burns, the owner of the former Miles Kimball building will finish engineering on the building and bid out work this spring. Rivers 1.5 is under construction and should be open later this spring.Mr. Dumke also has an option on the site at Jackson Street and Marion Road and continues to develop more specific building and site plans. More information is being prepared on the final water tower design including alternative finishes and colors and a final site plan which will come back to the RDA for review. There was no further discussion.The meeting adjourned at approximately 4:35 PM.

TO:City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority FROM:Allen Davis, Community Development Director DATE:May 12, 2016 SUBJECT:Spot Blight/ Accept Donation of Property 458 W. 6th Avenue Public Hearing: Spot Blight Designation; 458 W. 6th Avenue BACKGROUND The old Walleye’s Pub has been closed and vacant for several years. Code Enforcement and Building Inspection staff has noted the decay and decline of the property over that time. In addition, the owner lost the liquor license for the property since the Pub was not operating. City staff has been in contact with theowner regarding the property maintenance issues, in and around the property, and the owner has offered to donate the property to the City for demolition rather than undertake extensive repairs. The City’s plan would be to demolish the structure and make it available for futureredevelopment. 16-08 Approve Spot Blight Designation; Accept Donation of Property at 458 W. 6th Avenue ANALYSIS/FISCAL IMPACT City staff estimates the demolition costs for the structure would be about $15,000 to $20,000. The cost could be reduced to only asbestos removal and landfill tipping fees of a few thousand dollars if City Public Works crews could demolish thestructure when they have time available later this year. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Spot Blight Designation and Accept the donationof property.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Oshkosh that the Authority hereby releases an existing utility easements at the 400 Blockof Marion Road between Lots 2 and 3, per the attached, and the proper Authority officials are authorized and directed to execute any and all documents necessary for purposes of same. TO:City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority FROM:Allen Davis, Community Development Director DATE:May 12, 2016 SUBJECT: Grant Utility Easement & Release Utility Easement; 400 Block Marion Road 16-09 Grant Utility Easement &Release Utility Easement; 400 Block of Marion Road BACKGROUND The subject properties consist of vacant and multi-family residential City-owned lots located on the south side of Marion Road, west of Jackson Street. The surrounding area includes commercial uses to the north and east and industrial and multi-family residential uses to the north and west. ANALYSIS The City is requesting the granting of two utility easements to allow for adequate service to future developments and the release of a storm sewer easement at the propertieslocated at the 400 block of Marion Road. As the south side of Marion Road continues to develop, private companies continue to request utility easements to serve the new residential and mixed use developments. The Redevelopment Authority is proposing a 10 foot wide utility easement on Lot 1 and a 12 foot wide utility easement on Lot 3 for this purpose. The storm sewer easement was granted to the City in 1963 however theexisting buildings have since been demolished and the storm sewer was disconnected and capped and no longer serves any purpose and should be released. The Department of Public Works has reviewed these items and does not have any concerns with these requests and is drafting the appropriate easement documents which will be recorded at the Winnebago County Register of Deeds. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact since the granting of the easements will allow the city to easily service the utilities should there be a problem and the release of the easement area willnow allow that previously used public easement area to be used for private uses. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission recommended approval of the granting of utility easements and the release of a storm sewer easement at its May 3, 2016 meeting.Staff recommendsRDA approves as well. ITEM:GRANT UTILITY EASEMENTS AND RELEASE STORM SEWER EASEMENT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 400 BLOCK MARION ROAD Plan Commission meeting of May 3, 2016 GENERAL INFORMATION Petitioner/Owner:City of Oshkosh Action Requested: The City of Oshkosh requests the granting of two utility easements to allow for adequate service to future developments and release of a storm sewer easement at the properties located at the 400 block of Marion Road. Applicable Ordinance Provisions:N/A Property Location and Type: The subject properties consist of vacant and multi-family residential City-owned lots located on the south side of Marion Road,west of Jackson Street.The surrounding area includes commercial uses to the north and east and industrial and multi-family residential uses to the north and west. Analysis: As the south side of Marion Road continues to develop, private companies continue to request utility easements to serve the new residential and mixed use developments.The Redevelopment Authority is proposing a 10 foot wide utility easement on Lot 1 and a 12 foot wide utility easement on Lot 3.These easements are necessary to allow private utilities to provide adequate service to the future developments on these lots.The Department of Public Works has reviewed this item and does not have any concerns with the granting of these easements. The subject storm sewer easement was granted to the City in 1963 from the then Cook & Brown Company.After the property was acquired by the City, the existing buildings were demolished and the storm sewer was disconnected and capped. The storm sewer no longer serves any purpose and therefore, the easement should be released.Public Works has reviewed this item and does not have any concerns with the release of this storm sewer easement. The Department of Public Works and City Attorney is drafting appropriate easement documents which will be signed and recorded at the Winnebago County Register of Deeds. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the granting of the proposed utility easements and release of the storm sewer easement as requested. The Plan Commission approved the granting of the proposed utility easements and release of the storm sewer easement as requested.The following is the Plan Commission’s discussion on this item. Item –Grant Easement/Release Easement 400 blk Marion Rd Mr. Slusarek presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land use and zoning classifications in this area. He explained the reason for the request to grant the two utility easements and discussed the release of the storm sewer easement which was granted to the City in 1963 and has since been disconnected and capped and no longer necessary. He reviewed the site plan depicting the easements on the subject property. Mr. Borsuk questioned if the pipe had been capped but that the storm sewer piping was still in place. Steve Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works, responded that the pipe had been abandoned. Mr. Borsuk then questioned who was responsible for the removal of the piping and if the easement should still be depicted on the property description. Mr. Gohde responded that the old records do show that the easement existed in that location and there was documentation to support its presence however some of it may have already been removed. Mr. Thoms inquired if the storm sewer was owned by the City. Mr. Gohde responded affirmatively. Mr. Thoms then inquired why it would be the responsibility for a developer to remove it. Mr. Gohde replied that the City only removes the piping if necessary and that there was no need to excavate to dig it up as it would be a great expense to remove a pipe that can just be filled. Mr. Thoms stated that he did not want to create an issue for a future developer of the site and questioned if this piping was located along the lot line between Lot 2 and 3 and within the setback area. Mr. Burich responded that the easement area was located along the side lot line of the parcels and would be in the setback area for any building placement to be constructed on the property. It would not be an issue for placement of other development features. Mr. Thoms inquired if the easement is left in place would it still be a City issue. Mr. Gohde explained that the pipe has been abandoned and no action was required on the City’s part other than to release the easement. He discussed any potential issues from this action. Mr. Thoms then inquired if there was no need for the easement if future development expands in this area. Mr. Gohde explained why there was no need for the City to possess an outfall in this location as the storm sewer needs for this area have been addressed by other methods. Item –Grant Easement/Release Easement 400 blk Marion Rd Motion by Vajgrt to grant utility easements and release a storm sewer easement at the 400 block of Marion Road. Seconded by Cummings.

ANALYSISThe City and RDA approved the redevelopment of a green space/pocket park immediately to the west. The small parcel in question could be retained as part of the public space. However, the adjoining neighbor to the east expressed interest in buying the property due to their lack of any yard space on their property. As the parcel map indicates, the small parcel appears to have been split from the parentparcel, and selling the small parcel to the neighbor would restore the lot to its original size, consistent with the rest of the lots on the block and in the neighborhood. FISCAL IMPACT The City Assessor placed a value on the small parcel of $4,375. The Loftons have offered to purchase the parcel for $4,375. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends disposing of the land to the Loftons for $4,375. 628 235 654 118603 606 627 621 238 639 642 636 630 624 618 612 608 602 515 322 318 302 212 683 667 659 651 645 223 537 538 639 627A 639A 645A 667A 639A 631A 637A 605 611 619 625 631 637 641 647 651 661 669 673 673A 679 685A 612 616 622A 622 619 613 683 677 673 667 665 659 655 649 645 680 676 670 668 660 654 650 644 638 673 677 655 644 648 658 666 670 674 680 680 676 670A 670 664 660 654 648 644 638 534 535 518 519 607 540 534 528 522 506 626 622 616 612 608 213 209 543 544 206A 611A 616A 628 622 616 612 218 212 629 621 617 611 206 202 544A 119 202A 642A 630A 612A 534A 528A 674A 515A 611A 612A 660A Subject Site Lofton'sIDA AVIDA AV FRANKLIN ST FRANKLIN ST CENTRAL ST CENTRAL ST FREDERICK ST FREDERICK ST W PARKWAY AVW PARKWAY AV CHURCH AV CHURCH AV CENTRAL ST CENTRAL ST J:\GIS\GIS_Base_Maps\Planning Base Map.mxd User: andreaf I d a A v e n u eIda A v e n u e The City of Oshkosh creates and maintains GIS maps and data for its own use.They may show the approximate relative location of property, boundaries and otherfeature from a variety of sources.
