RE: Approve Specific Implementation Plan Amendment for Outdoor Vehicle Storage
at 3596 Stearns Drive (Plan Commission recommends approval)
BACKGROUND
The subject development located at the northeast corner of Stearns Drive and Omni Drive
consists of an approximate 4.55 acres parcel. The subject site is currently developed as a
contractor's yard/contractor's office and manufactured housing sales/display. The development
was approved by a Planned Development amendment in 2014 (Resolution 14-152) when the
expansion of an existing planned development was amended to include manufactured housing
sales and outdoor display. The property has a UI -PD Urban Industrial District zoning
designation with a Planned Development Overlay. The 10 and 20 year Comprehensive Land
Use Plans recommend commercial development for the subject site. The development is
bounded by a vacant warehouse and tavern (Town of Oshkosh) to the north, vacant land east &
south and US Highway 45 to the west.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing the addition of a 37,500 square foot gravel vehicle storage area for
final vehicle delivery operations for Oshkosh Defense. The storage area will be fenced in and
used in conjunction with the vacant building at 1981 W. Snell Road which abuts the subject site
with cross access easements between the properties. The fencing as proposed does not meet city
requirements for outdoor storage and will need to be modified to include an 8 foot tall solid
fence per the Zoning Ordinance. No new access points are proposed and the use will utilize a
shared access point from the storage area to the adjacent lot to the north. Lighting plans are in
compliance with ordinance requirements other than the height of the poles which will be
required to meet code prior to site plan review. Signage has not yet been submitted but will be
required to meet code requirements and the landscaping plans appear to be deficient and will
need to have additional landscaping prior to the site plan review process. Storm water
management plans have been submitted which require revisions and final plans will need to be
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1 130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us
approved by the Department of Public Works.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the new storage area will not have a fiscal impact or require additional city services
as this is a small infill development already provided with city services and may result in some
nominal increase in assessed value due to the new improvements proposed.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the specific implementation plan and planned
development amendment with conditions at its November 7, 2017 meeting.
Respectfully Submitted,
Darryn Burich
Director of Planning Services

ANALYSIS
Use
The applicant is proposing the addition of a 37,500 sq. ft. gravel vehicle storage area. The area
would be fenced in and used in conjunction with the currently vacant building at 1981 W. Snell
Road (abuts 3596 Stearns Drive). The proposed use is for final vehicle delivery operations for
Oshkosh Defense, LLC. The applicant is proposing 0' setback between the proposed site and
adjacent property with cross access easements between them.
Site Design
The applicant is proposing to construct a 37,500 sq. ft. gravel vehicle shortage area. The storage
area would be located 10' from the east property line and adjacent to the northern property line.
The vehicle storage area would be accessed by two rolling gate entrances and enclosed with a
proposed 6' slated chain link fence with barb wire. The fence as proposed does not meet the city
requirements for outdoor storage. The fence will need to be modified to meet the code
requirements of an 8' solid fence. Slating does not constitute a solid fence in the zoning
ordinance.
A portion of the property may be located within a wetland. The applicant has conducted a
wetland delineation, however we will still need a copy of the Department of Natural Resources
concurrence for the delineation.
The site also has an ANR pipeline easement running through the proposed storage area.
Approval from ANR will be required prior to any construction taking place.
Access and Circulation
No new access points are being proposed as part of this development. The site plan indicates a
shared access point from the proposed storage area to the adjacent lot to the north. A new cross
access easement will be required with the adjacent lot to the north.
Parking
No additional parking is proposed.
Signage and Lighting
The submittal included a lighting/photometric plan and is in compliance with the City of
Oshkosh ordinance. The site plan indicates 30' lot light poles. Maximum allowed height in the
UI District is 25'. The plans will need to be modified to meet code prior to Site Plan review.
A signage package was not submitted but all signage on the site will be required to meet Zoning
Code requirements and will be analyzed during the Site Plan Review process.
Item— GDP, SIP, PD Amendment — 3596 Stearns Drive
Landscaping
A landscaping plan has been submitted with the application and includes a variety of shrubs and
trees along the south side of the vehicle storage area. The zoning ordinance requires yard
landscaping at a ratio of 10 points per 1,000 sq. ft. of developed area. The proposed storage area
totals 37,500 sq. ft., per the code 375 landscaping points are required. The proposed landscaping
plan indicates 149 point. The applicant will need to add the additional landscaping prior to Site
Plan Review.
Storm water Management
A storm water management plan has been submitted and reviewed by the Department of Public
Works. At this time the Department of Public Works has not approved the provided plan and
additional revisions are required. The final storm water management plan will need to be
approved by the Department of Public Works during the Site Plan Review process.
RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
Staff believes that the development meets the standards set forth in Section 30-387 of the Zoning
Ordinance and will be harmonious with the intended character of the general vicinity and will
not be detrimental to neighboring properties or the community as a whole. Staff also feels that
the proposal reflects the city's development and planning policies and is compatible with nearby
and adjacent uses.
Staff recommends approval of the General Development Plan, Specific Implementation Plan and
Plan Development Amendment with the following conditions:
1) Submittal of the Department of Natural Resources concurrence for the wetland
delineation.
2) Approval of final storm water management plans by the Department of Public Works.
3) Fence will be increased to 8' solid fence and be in compliance with City Standards for
outdoor storage.
4) Light pole will be reduced to 25' and be in compliance with City standards.
5) A cross access easement being provided for the common lot line with property located at
1981 W. Snell (Parcel ID: 91278800200)
6) Base Standard Modification to allow a 0' setback along the north property line.
The Plan Commission approved the General Development Plan, Specific Implementation Plan
and Plan Development Amendment 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 history of the site and the proposed
additional use which was consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. He reviewed the site
plan which entails development of a gravel vehicle storage area for use by Oshkosh Defense for
final vehicle delivery operations. He discussed proposed fencing which does not meet code
requirements and will need to be modified during the site plan review process for compliance.
He also discussed the possible wetland delineation required from the Wisconsin Department of
Item— GDP, SIP, PD Amendment — 3596 Stearns Drive 3
Natural Resources (DNR) which is a condition for this request. He explained that a copy has
since been received from the DNR regarding the concurrence for the wetland delineation and the
plans may have to be changed or modified during the site plan review process due to their
findings. He discussed the lighting, parking, and access points which the lighting plans will need
to be modified for the height of the poles to meet code requirements. Signage plans have not yet
been submitted but will need to meet code requirements and be reviewed along with landscaping
plans which do not meet code standards and will need to be modified. Storm water management
plans are being reviewed by the Department of Public Works and he reviewed the conditions
recommended for this request and noted that condition #1 related to the wetland delineation
should be removed as it has already been satisfied.
Mr. Thorns questioned if a condition should be added that the landscaping plans would have to
be code compliant as they did not meet zoning ordinance standards at this time.
Mr. Nau responded negatively.
Mr. Thorns then discussed the fencing for the site and asked to confirm that the new zoning
ordinance allows barb wire as it is indicated that it would be utilized on the fencing and if it is
included in the 8' height requirement.
Mr. Nau responded that the zoning ordinance allows for barb wire for this type of use and it does
not count toward the 8' height requirement as the solid fence is required to be 8' tall for screening
purposes.
Mr. Bowen questioned if the easement area extending through the site is the ANR pipeline as it is
restricted as to what can be done in those easement areas.
Mr. Nau responded that the easement was the ANR pipeline and that the petitioner would need
to obtain approval from ANR for the use on the site.
Howard Floeter, Fond du Lac, representing the owner/petitioner, stated that ANR has given full
compliance agreements to work in this area with limitations required for excavation purposes.
He further stated that ANR has copies of the site plans and have signed off on them. He has
received two letters from the DNR with one a concurrence and another non -concurrence letter for
the portion of the site that could not be verified at this time. He described that a portion of the
site needs to be better evaluated and 75% of the area has been cleared by the DNR at this point
and the development would need to happen in two phases. New storm water management and
grading plans will be submitted and phase two of the development would be done after receiving
the necessary DNR clearance for the one portion of the site that needed further review. He
questioned the condition related to the 8' tall solid fence and if he would be given the opportunity
to work with staff to come up with alternatives to their original proposal which did not meet code
requirements.
Mr. Nau responded affirmatively.

Zoning Administrator
City of Oshkosh
215 Church Avenue
Oshkosh, WI 54903
RE: New Gravel Storage Lot
3596 Steams Drive
Oshkosh, WI 54904
Dear Mr. Muehrer,
The proposed project at the above -noted location will entail the construction of a 37,500 square
foot fenced gravel storage and staging yard (with lighting) to support final vehicle delivery
operations of Oshkosh Defense, LLC. Oshkosh Defense is intending to lease the vacant building at
1981 W. Snell Road (which abuts 3596 Stearns Drive and was originally part of that property), for
those functions.
The gravel lot will be surface drained to a new detention pond (size to be determined), with the
new grades to be kept as close to existing topography as possible. The area beyond the proposed
gravel lot will be maintained in existing turf grass.
The proposed gravel lot is to be positioned at the interior lot lines of all involved and adjacent
properties. The setback requirement for the north side of the proposed gravel lot needs to be zero
feet to enhance the usability to both properties.
Cross easement agreements will be arranged between the properties, since both are owned (through
corporate structure) by the sante person.
The entire location is zoned as LTI-PD and no change is requested.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Iloward floeter
