TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services DATE: May 18, 2017 RE: Approve Specific Implementation Plan for Planned Development of 50 West 6th Avenue and Parking Lot East of 40 W. 6th Avenue (The Granary) (Plan Commission recommends approval) BACKGROUND The subject area consists of two parcels totaling approximately 0.33 acres located at 50 W. 61h Avenue (The Granary) and directly east of 40 W. 6th Avenue (parking lot). The proposed project is intended to allow for rehabilitation and conservation of the former H.P. Schmidt Mill building, which also includes an adjacent non -original building addition to the east for a total building area of about 9,500 square feet. The existing structure has sat vacant for approximately 10 years since the closure of a night club (Club Element). In 2015, the Common Council approved a Landmark Designation for "The Granary' and the site is one of only two structures in Oshkosh with such a designation. Even though the structure is historically well- known as an Oshkosh icon to a number of residents, its present unoccupied condition is deteriorating. The subject area is currently zoned RMU-PD Riverfront Mixed Use District with a Planned Development Overlay. The surrounding area is primarily light industrial, warehousing and some commercial and residential uses. The 10 and 20 Year Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends mixed downtown development in the area. ANA YCTc. The proposed redevelopment for the existing structure at 50 W. 6th Avenue will allow for the establishment of office space on the first and second floor of the west portion of the building and a restaurant/brew pub on the one-story east portion of the structure. Both uses are permitted within the zoning district and are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed uses would require 33 on-site parking stalls; however the site is fully developed with the existing structure. Therefore the petitioner is proposing off-site parking by refurbishing the parking lot east of 40 W. 6th Avenue with mill and overlay and the addition of curbing resulting in 15 surface parking stalls. The proposed parking area would require a City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us variance from the access control ordinance to permit vehicles to back into W. 5ti, Avenue and an encroachment agreement for the curbing improvements within the right-of-way. The petitioner is also making improvements to the W. 5th Avenue right-of-way to accommodate angle parking on the north and south side of the street requiring an easement for public parking along the south portion because a portion of the parking is being provided by the properties along the south side of W. 5th Avenue. Development and Maintenance Agreements will be required for these proposed improvements. The owner has an option to purchase the vacant parcel at the southwest corner of W. 6th Avenue and Nebraska Street to convert to off- street parking which would provide an additional 21 stalls. Pedestrian accesses included connect the building entrances and patio area to the right-of-way and future Riverwalk connections are accommodated as well as a seven foot public sidewalk along Nebraska Street and W. 61h Avenue to allow for streetscaping improvements such as terrace trees. Building modifications were approved by the Oshkosh Landmarks Commission and the petitioner received the required certificate of compliance relating to the local landmark designation. The petitioner plans to rejuvenate the building exterior largely maintaining the building's original materials with improvements planned to the non -historic eastern portion such as the addition of an awning, siding and window replacement and a new roofing system on the entire structure. An addition of a handicap accessible ramp, new concrete steps, and a patio area are included in the plans which will require an encroachment agreement for their placement in the right-of-ways. Solar panels are proposed on the roof of the two-story portion of the building with the intention of the panels laid flat to blend in with the roof materials. The Landmarks Commission approved the use of the solar panels but recommended a metal roof system rather than asphalt shingles to prevent deterioration. FISCAL IMPACT The property has been a blighting influence in the area and property values have fallen off as the property has sat vacant and deteriorating for a number of years. The improvements as proposed will significantly increase the overall value of the property for the future and activate this unused space with an office and brew pub that will draw more people into the area on a daily basis. Public improvements such as W. 51h Avenue and the sidewalk/riverwalk proximate to the subject property will be improved because of this development and additional public parking will be created to enhance the usability of this area. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission recommended approval of the general development plan and specific implementation plan with conditions at its May 16, 2017 meeting.

Redevelopment of "The Granary" building at 50 W. 61h Avenue B. Parking lot improvements located directly east of 40 W. 6th Avenue Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The subject area consists of two parcels totaling approximately 0.33 acres located at 50 W. 6th Avenue (The Granary) and directly east of 40 W. 6th Avenue (parking lot). The proposed project is intended to allow for rehabilitation and conservation of the former H.P. Schmidt Mill building, which also includes an adjacent non -original building addition to the east for a total building area of about 9,500 square feet. The existing structure has sat vacant for approximately 10 years since the closure of a night club (Club Element). In 2015, the Common Council approved a Landmark Designation for "The Granary" and the site is one of only two structures in Oshkosh with such a designation. Even though the structure is historically well-known as an Oshkosh icon to a number of residents, its present unoccupied condition is deteriorating. The subject area is currently zoned RMU-PD Riverfront Mixed Use District with a Planned Development Overlay. The surrounding area is primarily light industrial, warehousing and some commercial and residential uses. The 10 and 20 Year Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends mixed downtown development in the area.

West Warehousing RMU-PD Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Use Category 10 Year Land Use Recommendation Mixed Downtown 20 Year Land Use Recommendation Mixed Downtown ANALYSIS Use The proposed redevelopment plan for the existing structure located at 50 W. 6th Avenue will allow for the establishment of a 5,459 square foot office space on the first and second floor of the west portion of the building and a 4,059 square foot restaurant/brew pub in the one-story east portion of the building. Both uses are permitted by right within the RMU Riverfront Mixed Use District and are consistent with the mixed downtown development recommended by the 10 and 20 -year Comprehensive Plan Land Use Maps. Additionally, the proposed plans depict modifications to the existing parking lot located east of 40 W. 61h Avenue to help define the private parking area from the adjacent right of way of W. 5th Avenue. Access/Parking Based on the proposed uses, a total of 33 on-site parking stalls would be required. 50 W. 611, Avenue is fully developed with the existing structure and does not allow for on-site parking. With that being said, the petitioner is proposing off-site parking and plans to mill and overlay the parking lot located east of 40 W. 6th Avenue to add curbing and define the area. The proposed parking lot would contain a total of 15 surface parking stalls. A variance from the access control ordinance will be required to permit vehicles to back into W. 5th Avenue. An encroachment agreement will also be required for the curbing improvements that are proposed within the right of way of W. 5th Avenue. Staff is supportive of the two prior conditions because the curbing will help to delineate the public right of way from the private parking lot. A Development Agreement and Maintenance Agreement will be required for proposed improvements. Additionally, the petitioner is planning to make improvements to the W. 511, Avenue right of way to accommodate angle parking on the north and south side of the street. An easement will be required for the use of public parking along the south portion of W. 5th Avenue as proposed. Maintenance and development standards of the proposed improvements will be included within the aforementioned Development and Maintenance Agreements. Finally, the owner has an option to purchase the vacant parcel located at the southwest corner of W. 61h Avenue and Nebraska Street which they will convert to off-street parking to service the proposed development. The petitioner has indicated that once completed the off-street parking lot would provide an additional 21 surface parking stalls. Item — Granary PD Pedestrian access walks are included within the development plan and connect the building entrances and outdoor patio area to the right of way. The applicant is proposing to reconstruct the public sidewalks along W. 6th Avenue and Nebraska Street. The petitioner has worked with City staff to accommodate future Riverwalk connections and is proposing a seven (7) foot public sidewalk along Nebraska Street and W. 61h Avenue. These improvements will also allow for streetscaping improvements such as terrace trees. As proposed, the Common Council will need to grant a variance to the Sidewalk Ordinance to permit the sidewalk to be located at the back of curb for a portion of W. 61h avenue rather than adjacent to the public right of way. Staff is supportive of the proposed variance because it would allow for the installation of an outdoor dining patio which will help to activate the Riverwalk. Signage Detailed signage plans have not been submitted at this time and will be required to meet code requirements. Landscaping Formal landscape plans have not been submitted at this time. Due to 50 W. 61h Avenue being fully occupied with the existing structure and the fact that the project consists of redevelopment of an existing site, a landscape plan is not required. With that being said, the proposed plans will allow for the installation of terrace trees along W. 6th Avenue and Nebraska Street. Additionally, the applicant is proposing a landscape bed adjacent to the building along Nebraska Street. The applicant has also indicated that they intend to add decorative landscaping on the handicap accessible ramp and/or patio area. Storm water Management Based on the proposed redevelopment, the petitioner will collect and convey drainage from the parking lot improvements to the existing City storm system. The proposed plans show a new storm inlet located at the southeast corner of the parking lot which would be connect to an existing public storm sewer located in W. 6th Avenue. Formal erosion control, drainage and storm water management plans will be reviewed and approved by the Department of Public Works during the Site Plan Review process. Building Elevations The proposed exterior building modifications were reviewed and approved by the Oshkosh Landmarks Commission and the petitioner received a certificate of compliance which is a requirement of the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance which applies to properties that have a local landmark designation. The petitioner proposes to rejuvenate the building exterior and will largely maintain the bulk of the building's original materials. The non -historic eastern portion of the existing building will be updated with a new steel awning to match the existing historic awning and replace the existing vinyl siding with horizontal and vertical metal siding. Existing windows will be replaced with Marvin Historical series windows with metal clad exterior and the original openings and glazing patterns will be maintained. The third -story non -heated attic and cupola will also be sided with vertical metal siding to carry the industrial aesthetic of the former mill use forward for years to come. The proposed improvements will include installation of a Item — Granary PD 3 new asphalt roofing system and existing soffits and fascia will be painted if the condition of the wood allows otherwise metal wrapping will be used. In order to provide ADA compliant access to the existing building the petitioner is proposing to construct a handicap accessible ramp in the W. 61h Avenue right of way. Additionally new concrete steps will be constructed to provide access to the restaurant/brewpub and office space. The plans also propose patio areas to accommodate outside dining along W. 6f Avenue. An encroachment agreement will be required for the placement of the handicap accessible ramp, concrete stairs, and patio area prior to their installation within the W. 6f Avenue and Nebraska Street right of ways. Refuse Enclosure/Mechanical Equipment The proposed development plan depicts a refuse enclosure located north of the existing structure along W. 51h Avenue. The proposed dumpster enclosure is technically located in the front yard which is not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. Given that the subject area is fronted by public right-of-way on all sides, staff is supportive of a base standard modification to permit the dumpster enclosure as proposed because W. 5th Avenue will predominately be accessed by those visiting the subject area. Staff is recommending the existing HVAC units located along W. 51h Avenue be screened with materials similar to the proposed refuse enclosure. The petitioner is proposing to install solar panels on the roof of the two-story portion of the building to help offset heating and cooling expenses for future tenants. The applicant has stated that they are in the early stages of planning but it is their intention that the panels would lay flat against the roof and would be black with aluminum frames to blend in with the proposed roof materials. Based on the height of the existing building and its proximity to the right-of-way, the panels would likely not be visible from the right-of-way directly adjacent to the building but would be visible as you travel to and from the site. With that being said, staff is recommending final rooftop mechanical equipment and placement be reviewed and approved by the Department of Community Development to ensure the intent of the mechanical screening ordinance is met. The Landmarks Commission also reviewed the proposed use of solar panels and were comfortable with the use of solar panels but did note that the petitioner may want to consider utilizing a metal roof system as asphalt shingles may deteriorate quickly with the potential of rain, snow, and ice pooling under the proposed solar panels. FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Planned Development district, staff recommends that Plan Commission make the following findings based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-387 (C)(6): (a) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the overall purpose and intent of this Chapter. (b) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and other area plans. (It is the responsibility of the City to determine such consistency.) Item — Granary PD 4 (c) The proposed Planned Development project would maintain the desired relationships between land uses, land use densities and intensities, and land use impacts in the environs of the subject site. (d) Adequate public infrastructure is or will be available to accommodate the range of uses being proposed for the Planned Development project, including but not limited to public sewer and water and public roads. (e) The proposed Planned Development project will incorporate appropriate and adequate buffers and transitions between areas of different land uses and development densities/intensities. (f) The proposed Planned Development project design does not detract from areas of natural beauty surrounding the site. (g) The proposed architecture and character of the proposed Planned Development project is compatible with adjacent/nearby development. (h) The proposed Planned Development project will positively contribute to and not detract from the physical appearance and functional arrangement of development in the area. (i) The proposed Planned Development project will produce significant benefits in terms of environmental design and significant alternative approaches to addressing development performance that relate to and more than compensate for any requested exceptions/base standard modifications variation of any standard or regulation of this Chapter. (j) For Planned Development projects that are proposed to be developed in phases, the applicant can provide a timeline for development and can demonstrate that the project would be successful even if all phases were not or could not be completed. Staff recommends approval of the Planned Development for a General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan and the findings listed above with the proposed following conditions: 1. Access control variance to permit vehicles to back into W. 5th Avenue. 2. Encroachment agreement for the curbing improvements proposed within the right of way of W. 5th Avenue. 3. Encroachment agreement for the placement of the handicap accessible ramp, concrete stairs, and patio area proposed within the W. 6th Avenue and Nebraska Street right of ways. 4. A Development Agreement and Maintenance Agreement will be required for proposed improvements. 5. An easement for proposed public parking along portions of W. 5th Avenue, as proposed. 6. Variance from the sidewalk ordinance to permit the sidewalk to be located at the back of curb for a portion of W. 61h Avenue rather than adjacent to the public right of way. 7. Base standard modification to permit the dumpster enclosure in the front yard, as proposed. 8. Existing HVAC units located along W. 51h Avenue be screened with materials similar to the proposed refuse enclosure. Item — Granary PD 9. Final rooftop mechanical equipment and placement be reviewed and approved by the Department of Community Development to ensure the intent of the mechanical screening ordinance is met. The Plan Commission approved of the general development plan and specific implementation plan as requested with conditions noted. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item. Ms. Williams presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land use and zoning classifications in this area. She discussed the history of the structure and that the Common Council approved a Landmark Designation for the site in 2015. The proposed use is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and she reviewed the site plan and discussed the proposed use of the site. She also discussed the parking lot reconstruction to the east of the subject site and the layout of the parking stalls as well as the improvements to W. 51h Avenue which will create additional public parking stalls. She also reviewed the vacant site on Nebraska Street and W. 6th Avenue which the owner has an option to purchase for the purpose of creating additional parking. She discussed the pedestrian accesses, the Riverwalk connections, and the streetscaping improvements included in the plans. Signage plans have not yet been submitted but will need to meet code requirements and landscape plans are not required as the site is fully developed with the existing structure however the installation of terrace trees and decorative landscaping is planned for various areas of the site. Storm water management plans were discussed which will require the approval by the Department of Public Works during the site plan review process. She reviewed the building elevations which were also reviewed by the Landmarks Commission and received a recommendation of approval. She discussed the modifications proposed to the structure and discussed the handicapped ramp to be installed as well as new concrete steps and outdoor patio area. She reviewed the location of the dumpster enclosure and the HVAC mechanical equipment which will be required to be screened. She also discussed the solar panels for rooftop installation which were also reviewed by the Landmarks Commission and received approval with the recommendation that they utilize a metal roof system instead of asphalt shingles. She also reviewed the conditions recommended for this request. Ms. Propp questioned if the riverwalk would be located on the west side of the structure and would essentially be sidewalk. Ms. Williams responded affirmatively. Ms. Propp then questioned the layout of the angle parking on W. 51h Avenue as boats from the adjacent site are currently parked in this area. Ms. Williams replied that the boats currently in that area will have to be relocated as they are in the city right-of-way and the owner of the marina has been contacted regarding this matter. Kurt Koeppler, 1726 Rivermill Road, stated that the developer was turning this site into something nice and that he owns the property adjacent to it at 40 W. 6th Avenue. He further Item — Granary PD 6 stated that he has an area behind his building that is currently utilized for parking and questioned what it is going to be when this development plan is implemented as it appears that this parking area will be removed. Ms. Williams responded that the area will remain the same other than there will be curbing added to delineate the public right-of-way from the private parking lot. Steve Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works, added that the area behind the curb will be filled with turf grass and the remaining area on private property would remain as it currently exists. Mr. Koeppler commented that we were giving up parking to turn the spaces into a grassy area without any easement agreement and he had a deed restriction on his property at the time of purchase to allow 16 parking spaces. There will be 15 parking spaces in the adjacent lot and the removal of the 3 parking stalls behind the building. He further stated that the angle parking extended up to his area and then ceased and parking is critical in this area. They have a parking easement on the east side of the building which has been reduced to six stalls and removing the parking behind his building does not work for him. He passed out a rendering of the parking area depicting his parking stalls and stated that he could grant an easement and have restricted parking for his business which would only change the grass area behind his building. He stated that he could not come to an agreement on an easement with the developer and he assumed that the parking arrangements that currently exist would continue and the easement he had for the 16 parking stalls that he currently has is being reduced to 15 stalls. He did not understand the need to create a grassy area behind his business as that was adding to the parking issue. Ms. Propp inquired if he had spoken with the owner and architect regarding this matter and could not come to an agreement on the issue. Mr. Koeppler responded affirmatively and stated that the developer wanted to turn it into public parking if he agreed to grant an easement and he wants it dedicated to his business. He wanted the three stalls behind his business to be designated for his business only. Chet Wesenberg, 240 Algoma Boulevard, architect for the project, stated that he would defer to city staff on the parking issue. Mr. Burich indicated that the parking stalls were never legally established and the parking stalls behind his building are partially on city right-of-way and that the city cannot designate public parking stalls for a specific use. He explained the easement granted for the proposed development which would allow the angle parking on the south side of W. 5th Avenue to be located partially on private property and partially within the city right-of-way but it is designated as public parking. Mr. Gohde added that Mr. Koeppler's parking behind his building is encroaching into the city right-of-way for the three parking stalls and without an easement area, this portion of the parking Item — Granary PD stalls have been closed off for parking purposes. He further explained that the city cannot designate public right-of-way for private parking purposes. Mr. Hinz questioned what the plans were for W. 511, Avenue as it is not a street that is currently accessed. Mr. Gohde stated that W. 51h Avenue is public right-of-way at this time and the proposed improvements will improve navigation and aesthetics, make the area more usable and define the right-of-way more clearly. Additional funding may be available for more improvements to this area. Mr. Hinz then questioned if W. 5th Avenue is involved with the development of the Morgan District. Mr. Gohde responded negatively and stated that W. 51h Avenue terminates at Nebraska Street and the area is currently in disarray due to previous conditions. Mr. Burich added that the vacation of the street was not feasible due to the location of businesses in this area that require access and no public parking would be available if the street was vacated. Mr. Gohde commented that there were also storm sewer facilities in this area for drainage and possibly other utilities. Mr. Koeppler stated that he was willing to grant an easement to the city for parking in the area behind the building if the grass island in this area could be eliminated. Mr. Burich explained the arrangement for an easement to be granted to the city to allow a portion of the parking stalls behind the building to be located in the city right-of-way. This would add parking behind 40 W. 6f Avenue instead of the grass area depicted on the site plan and would be comparable to the easement arrangement already agreed upon between the city and the owner of 50 W. 6f Avenue. The site plan will be amended to reflect this change with the easement agreement between Mr. Koeppler and the city. Mr. Koeppler was agreeable to an easement arrangement between himself and the city to resolve this issue. Mr. Gohde indicated that the parking stalls are feasible in this area however the easement discussions broke down with Mr. Koeppler which therefore changed the plans for this area. Ms. Williams stated that a minor adjustment to condition #5 to change the wording from "an easement" to "easements" and the removal of "as proposed" should address this change. The site plan could be modified during the site plan review process for this development. Mr. Burich reiterated the reason that an easement is necessary for the parking stalls on the south side of W. 5t'' Avenue as they are partially extending into the public right-of-way. Item — Granary PD Motion by Vajgrt to approve a general development plan and specific implementation plan approval for redevelopment of property located at 50 W. 6tn Avenue and parking lot east of 40 W. 611, Avenue with the following revised conditions: 1.

Health, safety, and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands. The existing building is presently vacant. Potenlial health risks which are not uncommon in abandoned, unattended and nmonitored buildings will be eliminated if the building is occupied. Renovation will remedy any deterioration which occurred to date. 2. Pedestrian and vehicular circulation and safety. Proposed building function will have less occupants than building's previous function. Proposed additional off-street parking and angled parking at W. 5th Avenue will diminish pedestrian length of travel and thus the pedestrian traffic load will be educed. Sidewalk upgrades are also proposed to remedy existing fluctuations and damage at sidewalks, 3. Noise, air, water, or other forms of environmental pollution. The building is presently vacant. Renovation and reoccupancy will reduce potential for water and air contamination which ften develops in abandoned buildings. The proposed function of the building will generate less noise than its former night lub function. 4. The demand for and availability of public services and facilities. he proposed development is not expected to have any negative impact to the demand for public services and/or facilities. 5. Character and future development of the area. Renovation and occupancy of the building as opposed to either its current vacant state, or its former night club function will improve on the area's character and contribute to encouraging quality future development.

While originally serving as the local granary, subsequent repurposing converted it to a well-known destination restaurant. The building has most recently functioned as a night club, but has been vacant for the last decade. Even though this structure is historically well-known as an Oshkosh icon to a number of residents, it's present unoccupied condition is deteriorating. Renovations would establish an office space on the first and second floor of the west portion of the building, and a restaurant/ brew pub in the one-story east portion of the building. Identification of all structures on the property and discussion of their relation to the project: The Building: The building, located on parcel #0300100000, consists of a combination of masonry, stone and wood -framed exterior wails with wood framed floor and roof construction. The west portion is a two-story mass with an additional one story un -heated attic and cupola above. The east portion is one-story. 50 W. 60' St, LLC is proposing to rejuvenate the building interior, exterior and adjacent city street and sidewalks. Exterior fagade work will largely maintain the bulk of the building's exposed concrete masonry units on the two-story west portion of the building, while updating the finishes on the east portion with corrugated metal siding. The cupola will receive new batt and board style wood siding. Building Entrance: Additional site structures will include an a.d.a. accessible ramp/entry at the south side of the building. The new entry area will include three sets of stairways. Parking/ Paving: Existing asphalt paving is scheduled to be overlayed to create upgraded off-street parking at a portion of previously vacated W. 5th Avenue east of the building property. The paving of W. 5'" Avenue to the north is scheduled to receive a mill and overlay upgrade as well. Part of the W. 51' Avenue upgrade includes reconfiguration to allow angled parking at each side. Also, Parcel #0300190000, at the southwest corner of W.61h Avenue and Nebraska Street, is proposed to be developed to allow additional off-street parking. eJ Projected number of Residents, Employees and/or daily customers: The office area of the building will have a maximum occupant load of 54, while the maxirnum occupant load for the restaurant will be 141 occupants. Proposed amount of dwelling units, floor area, landscape area, and parking area: Floor Area.- Second rea:Second floor Office space = 2248 sf First Floor Office Space = 3057 sf Restaurant / Brew Pub = 3398 sf Parking Areas: Off -Street Parking: East lot: 5255 sf / (18) stalls Southeast lot, Parcel #0300190000: 6043 sf / (21) stalls Proposed Additional street parking: W. 51h Avenue angled parking: (27) stalls Effects on adjoining properties: With the renovation and occupancy of an existing vacant building, this development will be an upgrade to the adjacent environment in and diminish health safety issues that can occur with abandoned vacant buildings. Potential noise and order from the restaurant/brew pub will be negligible in comparison to the building's former night club function. While the occupant load of the former night club is estimated to have been in excess of 400, the proposed office and restaurant will have a maximum of 195. The lower occupant load, combined with additional proposed parking to the area will create a safer environment to occupants and adjacent pedestrians. 10 Compatability with the proposed use with adjacent and other properties in the area: Both of the building's proposed functions, office and restaurant, are already existing in the immediate vicinity. A business/ office building is located immediately to the east, as well as immediately to the south. There is a restaurant located to the north. Traffic generation: Even though the building's maximum occupant load will be 195, peak occupancy of the office and restaurant are not expected to be simultaneous; thereby distributing traffic throughout the day. Even at maximum capacity, affects to traffic is expected to be greatly diminished in comparison to the former night club function of the building. ) ,0000 000000/ | ' � . � | � � § § § 2�sVNS qe* 7 12 � R. d.. m' _,*_,ma»m _ . ,m | O Q | BGS M § / !/ § _ e__ __a § ] _ . ) ,0000 000000/ | ' � . � | � � § § § 2�sVNS qe* 7 12 HIM liiI IJJIIII ill I I a �i1i1111iiiili a all 1 0 a I■I a NJ I IS III mill IN u ��i,�al1■1 i r1/111K 1 I a■2,% 5 Ant. 111 ■a�'ii1�111iliiihlililllii am mc PD-OFFICE/COMMERCIAL USE REDEVELOPMENT AUTH CITY OF 50 WEST 6TH STREET LLC 50 W 6T" AV OSHKOSH 200 OHIO ST 230 PC; 05-16-17 PO BOX 1130 OSHKOSH WI 54902-5884 OSHKOSH WI 54903-1130 KURT A KOEPPLER ETAL 40 W 6TH AVE OSHKOSH WI 54902-6036 6TH WARD LLC 15 STERLING AVE OSHKOSH WI 54901--4569 RIVERFRONT DEVELOPMENT LLC 55 E JACKSON BLVD 500 CHICAGO IL 60604-4101 CHET WESENBERG ARCHITECT 240 ALGOMA BLVD STE A OSHKOSH WI 54901 RIVERFRONT DEVELOPMENT II LLC 55 E JACKSON BLVD 500 CHICAGO IL 60604-4101 14 1 in = 0.02 miral .�.� 4, _ __ _ _ , -a=v:. tom• z:=". — 1 90 - - _ - r.1 The City of Oshkosh creates and maintains GIS maps and data for its awn use.
