Mr. Cummings inquired if there was a contact person if the property needed maintenance. Ms. Brandt stated Ms. Palmeri is the contact person for Middle Village Neighborhood. Mr. Cummings inquired how we are ensuring the neighborhood is maintaining the property. Mr. Davis stated the property is checked often and stated he has been satisfied with the maintenance. Mr. Hintz stated the RDA could be looking at an infinite amount of one year renewals if no development occurs. Mr. Davis stated it is important to look at this annually to make sure it is being maintained properly through the years. RDA Minutes July 31, 2017 Page 3 Mr. Hintz inquired if the annual renewal is meant for maintenance not for possibility of development. Mr. Davis stated in the short term, the renewal will be used for maintenance, but long term it could be looked at for potential development in the neighborhood. The effects of removing the blighted properties has caused many of the surrounding properties to make improvements to their homes. Mr. Lasky inquired if there was a development proposed for the site would the developer be able to propose mid-year or would they have to wait for the annual renewal. Mr. Davis responded a proposal could be made at any time. Mr. Cummings stated he preferred to keep the annual renewal to look back at what is going on in the neighborhood and property maintenance.

Discussion: 700 and 800 Block South Main Street Regarding Environmental Testing and Possible Disposition Mr. Davis stated the topic for discussion has been brought to the RDA as a result of more development occurring in the area. The last time environmental testing was done on these sites was about 10 years ago. Testing indicated there would need to be remediation of the site if it were to be developed.There is no current information on how bid the plumes are or if they have migrated to other areas of the site. In order for developers to consider the site, these unknowns would need to be answered.The cost for remediation on each site could cost between $800,000- $1,000,000. Paul Timm from AECOM provided background information on the sites. Further testing on the sites would give the RDA and future developers a better idea of where they are able to build and show that the potential risks of the site are manageable.Like in past projects, the City would work with the DNR to obtain a Certificate of Completion for the site. The RDA agreed that further environmental testing of the site would help developers in deciding how to develop the property. Executive Director’s Report The Oshkosh Arena project will be completed by the end of November. No offers have been made on 1017 Bowen Street. At this time staff is considering listing with a real estate agent. The RDA agreed to list the property with an agent. Final design and bidding is being prepared for the riverwalk section west of Oregon Street. City staff also submitted another riverwalk grant application to WisDNR for the section from Boatworks to the lagoon. Ms. Brandt stated Mr. Burns, the developer of the former Miles Kimball building has contractors lined up and hopes to get permits in a few weeks to start interior work. Mr. Stam inquired if there was a timeline for him to get work done. Mr. Davis stated when the property was sold to Mr. Burns the RDA did not require a performance report. Staff provided a map of RDA owned properties in the South Shore. RDA Minutes July 31, 2017 Page 6 Mr. Lasky stated the map would be a good visual when looking at acquiring future properties. There was no further discussion.The meeting adjourned at approximately 5:05 PM.

Staff would like the RDA's input on whether they feel this is something they want to do, lease terms, rent amount, etc. If the RDA would like to pursue this, an item can be placed on the next RDA agenda.

TO:City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority FROM:Allen Davis, Community Development Director DATE:September 28, 2017 SUBJECT:PUBLIC HEARING/ SPOT BLIGHT DESIGNATION /17-20 Approve Spot Blight Designation; Approve Acquisition of Property at 87 Frankfort Street in the Amount of $22,000. BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS The RDA will hold a public hearing to hear comments on the proposed spot blight designation of the property at 87 Frankfort Street. The property is currently listed for sale.The property is not within a designated redevelopment area and must be spot blighted in order for the RDA to acquire it. However, the property is within the Stevens Park Neighborhood. One of the goals of the Stevens Park Neighborhood Plan is to improve housing conditions throughout the neighborhood.Acquisition and demolition of this structure would be beneficial to the neighborhood. Based on lot configurations in this area, at some point in the past, this parcel was split off from the two properties fronting on Ceape Avenue. If the RDA appro ves of the acquisition, staff proposes to split this parcel in half and work with the two property owners on Ceape Avenue to attach a portion to each of their parcels, which would re- establish the original lot configurations. Asbestos removal and demolition would likely cost another $15,000 to $25,000. CDBG funds are available and programmed for this type of blight removal/redevelopment project. RECOMMENDATION The RDA approves the spot blight designation and approves acquisition of 87 Frankfort Street for $22,000.
