DATE: May 3, 2017
RE: Approve Conditional Use Permit for Light Industrial Use at 541 West 10th
Avenue (Plan Commission recommends approval)
BACKGROUND
The subject site consists of an approximate 0.241 acre parcel located at the southeast corner of
W. 101h Avenue and a public alley and has a zoning designation of UMU Urban Mixed Use.
The property contains a 3100 square foot prefab metal structure built in 1963 with natural
stone veneer and glass windows encompassing most of the north (front) elevation. The
building was most recently used as a laundromat which closed in 2016. The petitioner is
proposing to reuse the building for a hydraulic cylinder repair facility classified as a light
industrial use. Light industrial uses require a Conditional Use Permit in the UMU District.
The property is surrounded by a wide range of uses including residential, commercial and
industrial all around.
ANALYSIS
The petitioner is proposing to relocate his existing business, Black Wolf Hydraulics, which has
been operating since 2008 to this site to allow for expansion. The business is operated by the
two owners with hours of operation from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday and
most weekends with minimal customer traffic. Operations will be conducted entirely within
the building with no anticipated adverse effects on surrounding properties such as noise,
fumes or vibrations. The proposed use is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and
is not out of character with the surrounding area. The site is currently developed with a 3,200
square foot building and paved surface and no changes are proposed to the site design. The
site possesses 20 parking spaces which will provide the adequate number of parking stalls for
the use. The building currently has a large legal nonconforming roof sign which the petitioner
intends to reuse with no structural changes which would allow it to remain. As there are no
proposed alterations to the building footprint or parking area, landscaping and storm water

management plans are not required. The front fagade of the structure consists of a glass
curtain wall, natural stone veneer and corrugated steel siding. The petitioner is proposing to
remove some of the windows to install one, or possibly two, overhead doors and finishing it
with vinyl siding to compliment the stone veneer. There has not been any plan submitted for a
refuse enclosure which will be required to meet code standards and would be addressed
during the site plan review process. There has also not been any plans submitted for outdoor
storage of equipment and materials, however the storage area must be properly screened to
meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance if such an area is established.
FISCAL IMPACT
Reuse of the existing light industrial space for a hydraulic cylinder repair use will have no
fiscal impact on city services.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit with conditions at
its May 2, 2017 meeting.
Respectfully Submitted,

GENERAL INFORMATION
Owner: Kaiser Management, LLC
Petitioner: Greg Powers, Black Wolf Hydraulics, LLC

ANALYSIS
Use
The petitioner is proposing to move his existing business, Black Wolf Hydraulics, located at 520
W. 14th Avenue to this location to allow for expansion. Black Wolf Hydraulics specializes in the
servicing and repair of hydraulic equipment and cylinder repair and has been in business since
2008. The business is run by the two owners with no additional employees. Hours of operation
will be from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and most weekends. The petitioner
states that customer traffic will be minimal, averaging two to three per day, much less than the
former laundromat.
Operations will be conducted entirely within the building with no anticipated adverse effects on
the surrounding properties such as noise, fumes or vibrations. The petitioner did contact the next
door resident at 533 W. 101h Avenue to inform him of his application request. The neighbor did
not express any concerns with the proposed use. The petitioner also noted in his narrative that
their current business location is between two residential uses and has not generated any
complaints.
The proposed use is consistent with the City's 2005-2025 Comprehensive Commercial Land -Use
Plan recommendation as light industrial uses are permitted through the Conditional Use process.
The proposed use is not out of character with the surrounding area as there are current light
industrial uses scattered around the immediate vicinity.
Site Design
The site is currently 100% developed with the 3,200 square foot building footprint and the
remaining 7,300 square feet as paved surface. The petitioner is not proposing any changes to the
site design at this time. Staff is unsure if any outdoor storage for equipment and materials is
planned for the proposed use. If so, the storage area must be properly screened to meet
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
Access/Parking
Light industrial uses require a minimum of 1 parking space for each employee at its largest work
shift. The site currently has 20 parking spaces which the petitioner states will remain intact at this
time. Although the petitioner states that there are only two employees (requiring a minimum of
two stalls and a maximum of three stalls), staff does not have concerns with the surplus parking
as the parking area is preexisting and extra parking stalls will be needed for customers and
delivery vehicles. Staff did notice that the parking stall lines are very faded and recommends that
they be repainted to better differentiate the stalls.
Ste
The building currently has a large legal nonconforming roof sign approximately 6 feet tall by 24
feet wide and 144 square feet in area. The petitioner states he intends to reuse the sign for their
business. Although roof signs are prohibited by the zoning ordinance, legal nonconforming signs
may continue to be used and updated, as long as no structural changes are made altering the size
or placement.
Item IV- CUP for 541 W. le Avenue
The submitted site plan also includes either a monument or pylon sign located at the northwest
corner of the property. Pylon or monument style signs are permitted in the UMU District with a
zero -foot setback; however it appears the sign is located within the required 10 -foot vision
triangle at the intersection of W. 101hAvenue and public alley. This was communicated to the
petitioner who responded that they have since changed their plans to construct any type of
ground signage at this time.
Landscaping
With there being no alterations to the existing building footprint or parking area, a landscape
plan is not required.
Stormwater Management
As there are no plans to disturb any of the existing parking area, a storm water management plan
is not required.
Buildm
The north (front) fagade consists of approximately 70% glass curtain wall, 15% natural stone
veneer and 15% corrugated steel siding. The petitioner states in the narrative that he is proposing
to remove some of the windows to install a 12 -foot wide overhead door. In later conversations
with the petitioner, he intends to install a second 10 -foot wide overhead door. The locations of
the doors will be west of the natural stone veneer to preserve it. The remainder of the front
fagade will be finished with vinyl siding with a color to compliment the stone.
The remaining three facades are 100% corrugated steel. At this time the petitioner has no plans to
modify these facades.
No plans have been included for a refuse enclosure. This will be addressed during site plan
review and the enclosure will be required to meet minimum code standards.
RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit for a light industrial use at 541 W. 10th
Avenue with the following conditions:
1. No outdoor storage of equipment, parts, materials or inoperable vehicles unless a
designated storage area is created and provides minimum screening requirements.
2. Parking stall striping be repainted within the off-street parking area.
The Plan Commission approved of the conditional use permit as requested with conditions noted.
The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item.
Mr. Nau presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land use
and zoning classifications in this area. He discussed the proposed use which would be a
hydraulic repair business which is relocating from their current site on W. 14th Avenue. He
discussed the number of employees and hours of operation and that the use would have a
ITEM -CUP 541 W 10" Av
minimal traffic generation compared to the previous use. The operations would be conducted
within the building with no adverse effects on the neighboring properties. The use is consistent
with commercial land use plans and the site is fully developed with no changes proposed to the
existing site design. He also discussed outdoor storage which is not proposed but would be
required to be screened appropriately if established. He reviewed the parking stalls for the site
and the access to the site and stated that the parking stalls were in need of being repainted. The
existing roof sign is going to be re -used and he reviewed the site plan and photos of the site. He
discussed the monument signage that the petitioner was considering however he has since
decided not to install one at this time. Landscaping and storm water management plans are not
required for the site as the existing conditions are not being altered. He discussed the removal of
some of the windows on the front elevation to enable the installation of overhead doors. He
stated that details for a refuse enclosure have not been submitted but will be addressed during
the site plan review process and he reviewed the conditions recommended for this request.
There was no discussion on this item.

area is created and provides minimum screening requirements.
2. Parking stall striping be repainted within the off-street parking area.

Conditional Use Permit Narrative — Greg & Becky Powers
March 29, 2017
Greg & Becky Powers, owners of Black Wolf Hydraulics, LLC are requesting the City of Oshkosh to
approve re -zoning for the property located at 541 W. 10th Avenue. This property currently consists of an
asphalt parking lot with a metal building that houses a commercial Laundromat. The current use is zoned
C-3; we request that it be re -zoned to a Light Industrial Use designation.
If the re -zoning request is granted, Greg & Becky Powers will pursue purchase of this property for the
purpose of relocating their hydraulic repair business, Black Wolf Hydraulics, LLC.
Proposed changes to the property include the following (subject to successful purchase):
Removal of all commercial washers and dryers from the property; existing building size to
remain unchanged
➢ Building remodel to include removal of windows from the front of the building and replace with
a 12' wide x 10' high garage door and wood framed wall
➢ Front exterior wall to be finished with vinyl siding and stone to match current exterior
➢ Signage to be installed on the existing structure on top of the building
➢ Current parking lot (20 spaces) is to be left intact with no additional landscaping planned now
➢ Interior to be remodeled for use as alight industrial shop
➢ Office, utility room, bathroom, and storage areas to be used as presently configured, with light
redecorating as needed
Projected use will be the hydraulic business run by the owners with no additional employees and an
average of two or three daily customers. Hours of operation will be lam to 4pm Monday through Friday,
and on most weekends.
Any noise will be contained within the building and unlikely to be noticeable by neighbors. Other effects
on the adjacent properties such as glare, odor, fumes, vibration, water, or other forms of environment
pollution are not anticipated. The business currently functions in a comparable building on 14th Avenue
with single family homes on two adjacent sides and has not generated any complaints or concerns.
Personal contact was made with Jason Newman, the neighbor to the east, on March 27, 2017. Mr.
Newman did not voice any objections or concerns at the time. Pedestrian and vehicular circulation and
safety may improve with this proposed change in business, since the Laundromat is likely to be
experiencing a higher rate of public traffic.
No negative or adverse impact is expected to affect the health, safety, and general welfare of occupants
of surrounding properties. There should be no impact on the demand for and availability of public
services and facilities.
It is our intention that the finished exterior of the building will be an attractive improvement to the
esthetics and character of the neighborhood. Since the light industrial use is very compatible with the
current C-3 zoning, this change is not expected to have any impact on future development of the area.
