JOINT REVIEW BOARD
TID #26 AVIATION BUSINESS PARK
MEETING MINUTES
March 18, 2013
10:00 a.m., City Hall Conference Room 404
Present: Allison Garner, Board of Education; Mark Rohloff, City of Oshkosh; Mark Harris,
Winnebago County; Melissa Kohn, Fox Valley Technical College; and Bill Castle;
public member.
Staff: Allen Davis, Director of Community Development; Darryn Burich, Director of Planning
Services; David Buck, Principal Planner; and Elizabeth Schultz, Planning Technician.
The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. by Mr. Harris.
Mr. Burich introduced Allison Garner, who filled in for Matthew Wiedenhoeft as the representative for
the Oshkosh School Board.
A motion was made by Mr. Castle and second by Ms. Kohn to move approval of Resolution 2013-01.
Mr. Davis provided a brief overview of TID # 26 explaining it will be a joint venture between
Winnebago County and the City of Oshkosh. The County will provide a -the-connection
agreement to provide direct access to Wittman Field from a taxiway, which will help market the
industrial park to aviation related businesses. Pending approval of an EDA grant, the City would like to
offset the costs associated with infrastructure and help fund a Business Accelerator that the University
of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, AeroInnovate and various other partners intend to develop in the next few
years. Mr. Davis mention a slight change to the layout of the industrial park based on concerns raised by
residents on Red Oak Court and additional funds were dedicated to berming and landscaping to buffer
the differing uses. He did indicate that no improvements would be made until the grant awards were
announced but anticipated that design of the industrial park would begin this Fall with infrastructure
starting some time in 2014.
Mr. Burich went over the Project Plan Summary and stated this would be an industrial TID with a 20
year lifespan. He went over the estimated base values, estimated value at closure and estimated
increment. Mr. Burich also touched upon the economic feasibility element of the TID which was
determined using conservative estimates based on land value within existing industrial parks within the
community.
Ms. Kohn inquired what the land purchase price was per acre.
Mr. Davis and Mr. Harris estimated the land acquisition to be $20,000 per acre, which was based on the
appraisal and what the land owner was willing to accept.
Mr. Castle started a discussion regarding the eventual lot configuration of the industrial park. Mr.
Davis explained that 45-50 acres would be dedicated to the west side of the road but before a final lot
configuration was determined the City would wait until a developer presented plans.
Mr. Rohloff questioned if Table 1 in the project plan reflects costs associated with development moving
forward without the EDA grant. Mr. Burich confirmed that Table 1 was intended to highlight the
known costs associated with the TID but the Business Accelerator costs were noted as a potential cost
should the EDA grant be awarded or future increment was available to support the project.
Mr. Harris asked if there were any more questions, seeing none he asked for those in favor of approving
Resolution 2013-01 TID #26. Motion carried 5-0.
Motion by Mr. Castle and second by Mr. Rohloff to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried.
Respectfully Submitted,
Elizabeth Schultz
