TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services DATE: November 9, 2017 RE: Approve Dedication of Street Right of Way; 1212 South Main Street (Plan Commission recommends approval) BACKGROUND On January 24, 2017, the Common Council approved a Planned Development for the redevelopment of the former Buckstaff Company site, which included construction of a proposed 3,500 seat mixed-use arena/event complex. It will also house a 157 seat sports bar and team store open to the public on non-event days. The approximate 8.05 acre development area is located along South Main Street between East South Park Avenue and East 111" Avenue. The surrounding area contains a mix of industrial, commercial and residential uses. The subject site is located near the southern portion of the area being identified as the "Sawdust District" which is bounded by the Fox River on the north, Lake Winnebago on the east, East 14th Avenue on the south and South Main Street on the west. ANALYSIS The City of Oshkosh is requesting of the Redevelopment Authority a right-of-way dedication of a 20 -foot by 661.73 -foot strip of land along S. Main Street. As proposed, this will increase the right-of-way width of the 1200 block of S. Main Street from 60 feet to 80 feet. The purpose of the dedication is to accommodate street improvements and wider public sidewalks along the frontage of the arena property. Staff does not have any concerns with the proposed dedication as it will provide for a safer environment for visitors attending events at the nearly constructed arena. FISCAL IMPACT Dedication of the additional right-of-way as proposed should not have any fiscal impact because the additional area will be used primarily for sidewalk purposes that will be maintained by the arena.

RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends accepting the additional right-of-way for South Main Street. ITEM- kfiYed Use Arena/Event Complex —1212 S. Main St The Plan Commission approved the dedication of additional right-of-way for South Main Street adjacent to 1212 South Main Street. This request was part of a request by the Oshkosh Arena developer for an amendment to the specific implementation plan approval. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on both the amendment to the specific implementation plan and the street dedication. Kelly Nieforth, Economic Development Services Manager, presented the item and stated that the amendment was necessary for the additional signage proposed for the arena/event complex. She discussed the history of the previous approvals and stated that this would be the third amendment to the specific implementation plan. She discussed the new signage for the site and the right-of-way dedication on Main Street in further detail and reviewed the site plan depicting the right-of-way dedication area on S. Main Street which was to widen the sidewalk as the existing sidewalk abuts the street with no terrace area which could be a safety issue for pedestrians. She discussed the base standard modification for the wall signage and reviewed renderings of the building depicting the areas for the additional signage. She further discussed the different signage being added to the west facade requiring a base standard modification for the amount of square footage allowed for wall signs. She also reviewed the monument sign proposed and discussed the conditions recommended for this request to address safety issues for the electronic message center (EMC) sign. She indicated that condition #5 and #6 related to this were both part of the zoning code but were being added as a reminder and reviewed the conditions recommended for this request. Mr. Burich discussed the arena and its unique use and explained that the amount of signage proposed for the site was not unusual for this type of facility. Mr. Thoms discussed the dedication of the 20 feet of right-of-way along S. Main Street and questioned if staff had given any thought to placing vehicle barriers by the walkway in front of the court yard to protect people on the other side from potential attacks as have occurred in other communities recently. Ms. Nieforth responded that the city does not have bollards on the sidewalk however the Police Department did recommend this feature for the sidewalk by the pedestrian plaza area. Mr. Thoms commented that the city needs to be diligent and on the cautious side with large gatherings of people and recent events should be considered. He felt that the city should work with the developer on placing bollards for the protection of visitors to the complex. Mr. Kiefer questioned if Mr. Thoms was suggesting that the bollards be placed just along S. Main Street or if he was intending that they be extended through to W. 11f Avenue as well. Mr. Thoms responded that he did not know what was necessary as far as placing it on the item as a condition of approval or just working with the developer and Police Department later to discuss the issue. ITEM- Mixed Use Arena/Event Complex —1212 S. Main St 2 Ms. Nieforth commented that the question could be directed to the representative here from the developer or it could be discussed at a later date when further planning is done for the area. Ms. Propp questioned where the monument sign would be located. Mr. Burich responded that it would be located at the corner of W. South Park Avenue and S. Main Street and is depicted as sign #1 on the site plan. Ms. Nieforth added that the sign placement meets code requirements for setbacks and staff will work with the developer to ensure that it is placed in the correct location. Wendy Hielsberg, representing Fox Valley Pro Basketball, discussed security issues for the arena and the standards for the building approved by the NBA which are very intensive. She stated that they have bollards on the front of the building extending into the parking lot and the perimeter parking is also limited. Mr. Thorns questioned if the bollards were outside the front gathering area before the sidewalk. Ms. Hielsberg responded that they were in front of the arena to prevent vehicles from going through that area and that the security measures for this facility were very extensive. Motion by Vajgrt to approve an amendment to the specific implementation plan for a mixed-use arena/event complex and right-of-way dedication for property located at 1212 South Main Street with the following conditions: 1.
