TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services DATE: November 9, 2017 RE: Approve Amendment to Comprehensive Land Use Maps Changing the Land Use Designation for Properties Located on the South Side of State Highway 91 Between Clairville Road and State Highway 44 from Industrial to Commercial (Plan Commission recommends approval) BACKGROUND The City has received a request (Swiderski) to amend its Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map from Industrial to Residential to permit the development of multiple family homes on a 17 acre parcel of undeveloped land located on the south side of STH 91 between 4159 and 4097 STH 91. Due to the broader implications that a land use change to residential only would have for a "spot" area as proposed, Planning staff has proposed a broader land use amendment for the area from Industrial to Commercial which also includes the applicant's property. The subject area for the land use amendment is approximately 125 acres of generally undeveloped and agricultural lands located on the city's southwest side directly south of the Southwest Industrial Park. The subject area contains a small scattered number (7) of single family residential parcels with the largest concentration of 4 homes on the eastern end of the subject area and directly east of the applicant's subject property. There are some commercial businesses at the far eastern end of the subject area near the intersection of STH 91 and STH 44 that are zoned as Business Park and also included in the Universal Business Park and protected with covenants. Additionally, there are approximately 8 acres of undeveloped lands zoned as Business Park in this area where the future land use will be more commercial in nature due to the zoning and covenant restrictions. The entire subject area is shown on the City's Comprehensive Land Use Maps as being appropriate for future industrial development. The subject area is considered a future growth area of the community with past plans showing the Southwest Industrial Park expanding into the area. City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us The applicant (Swiderski) desires to construct a development of 144 apartment units located in a combination of ten 12 and 16 unit buildings with detached garages (see attached development concept map). The development will not proceed unless it is "attached" to the city with the proper zoning, which can be accomplished with either the Suburban Mixed Use (SMU) or Multiple Family Residential (MR 12) zoning districts. Given the mixed use nature of the subject area (residential, commercial) staff is recommending a land use change to Commercial with SMU zoning to accomplish this instead of an outright residential land use classification. The SMU district provides a bit more city and public review of any actual future development on the applicant's property through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. Additionally, staff would recommend the property is attached with a Planned Development Overlay to ensure appropriate landscaping, buffering and building placement to mitigate impacts on the adjacent residential uses as well as concerns over heavy traffic volumes on STH 91 and STH 44. ANAVYSTS The subject area has good commercial and mixed-use possibilities due to its proximity and visibility to the highways and the employment centers which is also advantageous for multiple family thus a change to Commercial would permit a good mix of land uses while preserving the ability of the city to conditionally permit any multiple family developments wanting to locate in the area. This would also give the neighbors opportunity for input on any multiple family development. Staff is proposing the change to Commercial for the area as shown on the attached maps from what would be Global Parkway extended south to STH 44 east all the way to the intersection of STH 91 and 44. The western boundary would permit Global Parkway to extend south and be a natural buffer between what could potentially be industrial to the west and commercial mixed use to the east. The mixed use could be accomplished through a Suburban Mixed Use (SMU) zone that wouldn't permit multiple family residential by right but through Conditional Use Permit. The amendment as proposed by staff is changing approximately 125 acres from Industrial to Commercial. This is in part due to a change in market demand in the area to include additional uses into the quadrant. Staff does not believe that this will hinder future industrial growth for the area because there are approximately 300 acres available of industrial lands available in the SW Industrial Park and another 1200 acres mapped in the area for industrial use. That being said there is concern that increased traffic coming into the industrial park or increased industrial activity could have an impact on residential uses in this area and any CUP brought forward in that regard will be evaluated and potentially conditioned to mitigate those impacts or denied altogether due to the concerns. Please see the Plan Commission staff report for a more detailed discussion on the land use situation in the area. City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact from changing the recommended land use on a Comprehensive Plan map. However, implementation of the final land use recommendation via future attachment, zoning, and development may have future fiscal implications that will be evaluated during those actions. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive Land Use Map amendment at its September 19, 2017 meeting. Submitted, Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services Approved: Mark A. Rohloff City Manager City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us ITEM: COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF STH 91 BETWEEN CLAIRVILLE ROAD AND STH 44 Plan Commission meeting of September 19, 2017 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: S.C. Swiderski LLC Owner: Michael Akins Action(s) Requested: The City has received a request from the applicant to amend its Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map from Industrial to Residential to permit the development of multiple family homes on a 17 acre parcel of undeveloped land located on the south side of STH 91 between 4159 and 4097 STH 91. Due to the broader implications that a land use change to residential only would have for a "spot" area as proposed, Planning staff is proposing a broader land use amendment for the area from Industrial to Commercial which includes the appl'icant's property. The attached maps illustrate the applicant request and the staff initiated proposal for context. Property Location and Background Information: The subject area for the land use amendment is approximately 125 acres of generally undeveloped and agricultural lands located on the city's southwest side directly south of the Southwest Industrial Park. The subject area contains a small scattered number (7) of single family residential parcels with the largest concentration of 4 homes on the eastern end of the subject area and directly east of the applicant's subject property. There are some commercial businesses at the far east end of the subject area near the intersection of STH 91 and STH 44 that are zoned as Business Park and also included in the Universal Business Park and protected with covenants. Additionally, there are approximately 8 acres of undeveloped lands zoned as Business Park in this area where the future land use will be more commercial in nature due to the zoning and covenant restrictions. The entire subject area is shown on the City's Comprehensive Land Use Maps as being appropriate for future industrial development. The subject area is considered a future growth area of the community with past plans showing the Southwest Industrial Park expanding into the area. The applicant (Swiderski) desires to construct a development of 144 apartment units located in a combination of ten 12 and 16 unit buildings with detached garages (see attached development concept map). The development will not proceed unless it is "attached" to the city with the proper zoning, which can be accomplished with either the Suburban Mixed Use (SMU) or Multiple Family Residential (MR 12) zoning districts.

The SMU district provides a bit more city and public review of any actual future development on the applicant's property through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. Additionally, staff would recommend the property is attached with a Planned Development Overlay to ensure appropriate landscaping, buffering and building placement to mitigate impacts on the adjacent residential uses as well as concerns over heavy traffic volumes on STH 91 and STH 44. CoHIP rehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Ilse 10 Year Land Use Recommendation Industrial 20 Year Land Use Recommendation Industrial ANALYSIS An analysis of any change to a Land Use Map needs to start with a discussion of why an area was classified for a particular purpose. In this case the Southwest Industrial Park had been experiencing a tremendous amount of growth and there was a concern that demand would exceed supply and Oshkosh would lose industrial growth opportunities and in 2001 the city had Foth and Van Dyke prepare an expansion study (see attached map titled Map 3 Development Area, Street, and Trail Layout). That Plan included the subject area and showed a potential street and parcel layout, which in part can be retained with the proposed land use amendment. Subsequently, in 2004 Foth prepared a report called the South Industrial Park Study Area Plan from which the current Comprehensive Plan Land Use map boundaries for the area were designated and is now the subject of this land use amendment request and staff proposal. In this quadrant of the city, there are approximately 2,447 acres of land designated for industrial land use. Of this 596 acres are developed lots within the SW Industrial Park with another 341.6 acres of undeveloped city owned land in the industrial park with approximately 260 acres being "development ready". For the mapped areas outside of the city, there are approximately 1,350 acres designated for industrial use that are located generally to the south and southwest of the industrial park (see attached map identified as Southwest Industrial Area). It should be noted that there are likely many acres of this total that are not developable due to wetland limitations so the actual developable acreage will be somewhat less. It should also be noted that overall within the city there are approximately 747 acres of vacant industrial lands encompassed in 84 parcels (see map titled Industrial -Zoned Land Inventory). Industrial Park Demand Over the period from 1992-2003 the average annual absorption rate of industrial park land was approximately 28.5 acres per year. At the time the Comprehensive Plan was being developed there were about 264 acres of city owned industrial park lands that would have been absorbed in 8 years at the 92-03 absorption rate and thus the city mapped out broadly on its Comprehensive Plan Land Use Maps areas of industrial growth. Additionally, per the Comprehensive Plan, the City should try and stay 5 years ahead of the market for industrial park land so there needs to be a "surplus" amount of land mapped for such purposes and in other areas of the community to respond to regional demands so as you look at various areas of the city's land use map you will see undeveloped areas mapped for industrial. The City has been selling industrial park lands since at least 1982 in four different industrial parks; Aviation, North, Southwest, and Northwest. The city has just recently created the Aviation Business Park that will have an industrial component but has not sold any land yet in that park. From the period of 1982 through 2016 the annual average acreage sold was 5.88 acres per year. From 2010 through 2016 no land was sold in the SW Industrial Park, however there is currently some interest in developing a transload facility in the newest expansion area that will result in some lands being developed for that purpose and likely will result in some other ancillary growth opportunities. Industrial Park Land Sales Takeaways 1. No city owned industrial park land sold 2011-2015. Sold 1.7 acres in NW Ind. Park in 2016 2. Have sold a total of 676.23 acres of city industrial park land since 1982 3. Average annual sales of parkland has been 5.88 acres. 4. 7 of 33 years have had no land sales including the last 6 years. 5. Largest amount of land sales was 90 acres in 1999 6. 313 acres of total land were sold in 1990s, 200 acres of which were sold in the SW Ind. Park 7. 201 acres of total land were sold in 2000s,121 acres of which were sold in the SW Ind. Park Industrial lob Growth The following information relates to the history of industrial employment growth: Historical Industrial Job Growth The takeaway here is that you have more employees working in a lesser number of establishments so one factor could be that the manufacturers are accommodating their growth on their existing sites or buying other facilities and utilizing existing infrastructure. From a land use perspective, based on the available supply of lands within the city, at the absorption rate there is about a 60 year supply of lands within the SW Industrial Park available for development and about 127 year supply citywide. For lands currently mapped industrial within the SW Industrial Park area there is an approximate 229 year supply of industrial park lands and that includes the subject land use amendment area, which if adjusted out due to the proposed Amendment would drop the supply to 208 years. Again these are raw numbers and not accounting for wetlands, future roads, and regional detention which will drop this number by at least 1/3. From an industrial growth standpoint it appears that there is an adequate supply of existing and future industrial lands to meet the city's growth needs for the foreseeable future. What is a reasonable amount of lands to protect for future growth for a particular use? There is not a lot of planning industry research on that subject but the City's Comprehensive Plan typically guides out two decades. Year % Change NAICS 1980 1990 2000 2002 2012 Manufacturing Jobs 6454 7313 7162 8176 11025 70.82 Number of Establishments % Change 2002 2012 180 115 -35.11% The takeaway here is that you have more employees working in a lesser number of establishments so one factor could be that the manufacturers are accommodating their growth on their existing sites or buying other facilities and utilizing existing infrastructure. From a land use perspective, based on the available supply of lands within the city, at the absorption rate there is about a 60 year supply of lands within the SW Industrial Park available for development and about 127 year supply citywide. For lands currently mapped industrial within the SW Industrial Park area there is an approximate 229 year supply of industrial park lands and that includes the subject land use amendment area, which if adjusted out due to the proposed Amendment would drop the supply to 208 years. Again these are raw numbers and not accounting for wetlands, future roads, and regional detention which will drop this number by at least 1/3. From an industrial growth standpoint it appears that there is an adequate supply of existing and future industrial lands to meet the city's growth needs for the foreseeable future. What is a reasonable amount of lands to protect for future growth for a particular use? There is not a lot of planning industry research on that subject but the City's Comprehensive Plan typically guides out two decades. Residential Land Use The land use amendment request was initiated by the applicant to facilitate development of their subject site for a multiple family development. In looking at the multiple family residential land inventory there are lands available just north of the SW Industrial Park along W. 201h Avenue and down just south of Waukau Avenue as shown on the attached map titled Multi -Family Residential. The majority of these multiple family zoned lands are owned by two parties (Midwest Properties and Gabert and Rusch) that generally develop their own properties. Looking at the Multi -Family Residential Land Inventory Map the parcels identified in green are vacant properties and per staff analysis comprise about 241 acres on 72 parcels in virtually all areas of the city which could be interpreted as having the capacity to meet the city's population growth needs. Additionally with the City's new SMU (Suburban Mixed Use) zoning, areas that weren't previously permissible for multiple family uses are now permitted via conditional use permit. While there appears to be enough land to develop within the existing city boundaries, this doesn't mean that these properties are available to develop and on the market or in the right location per consumer demand. During the Plan Commission workshop on this issue the applicant stated that they prefer to develop in locations such as the subject area that are near transportation routes, employment, and retail and commercial services which is in close proximity. In looking at land use and future development the city needs to have growth capacities to meet regional market demands to be able to respond to and capture those markets. In this case, staff is proposing to change the land use plan from Industrial to Commercial that could permit the development of multiple family uses through Conditional Use Permit. It would also permit other commercial and retail uses to develop in the area. From a population and growth standpoint the city is not reaching its 05 projection for 2016 of 70,080 persons. The city's 2016 population estimate was 66,717 persons which is 3,300 off the 05 estimate. A significant factor causing this was a recession that deadened the market especially for single family use that we are now emerging from. From the period from 2005 through 2016 a total of 1,719 dwelling units were developed in the city. This broke down as follows: Single Family 347 units 832 Persons Two -Family 84 units 189 Persons Multi -Family 1078 units 2263 Persons Conversions 210 units 441 Persons Using the census averages of 2.40 person per unit for owner occupied and 2.10 for renter occupied this translates to about 3,725 persons. However, looking at the 2016 population estimate of 66,717 just adding these units has not had an appreciable impact on population growth which indicates other things are going on in the residential market and whether that is less people per unit (there are a lot of single bedroom units being developed), higher vacancies, and gravitation towards the newer units. The most recent Department of Administration population forecasts show Oshkosh at: 2020 69,250 2025 71,250 2030 72,900 2035 73,650 2040 73,800 The existing housing supply cannot absorb that capacity, especially given the fact that households are getting smaller and areas must be redeveloped, infilled, or areas will be added to the community to accommodate this growth. Proposal and Recommendation In looking at the land use situation in this quadrant staff is recommending against a simple land use change to residential for the applicant (Swiderski) subject property to an outright residential land use due to the mixture of uses already in the area and the potential for the area to be a diverse mix of commercial and housing adjacent to a major employment area. It also would essentially be a "spot" land use change that ignores the manufacturing land use designation to the west in favor of creating a small area of residential that will include different land use categories to the west, east, and north. The subject area has good commercial possibilities due to its proximity and visibility to the highways and the employment centers which is also advantageous for multiple family thus a change to Commercial would permit a good mix of land uses while preserving the ability of the city to conditionally permit any multiple family developments wanting to locate in the area. This would also give the neighbors opportunity for input on any multiple family development. Staff is proposing the change to Commercial for the area as shown on the attached maps from what would be Global Parkway extended south to STH 44 east all the way to the intersection of STH 91 and 44. The western boundary would permit Global Parkway to extend south and be a natural buffer between what could potentially be industrial to the west and commercial mixed use to the east. The mixed use could be accomplished through a Suburban Mixed Use (SMU) zone that wouldn't permit multiple family residential by right but through Conditional Use Permit. The amendment as proposed by staff is changing approximately 125 acres from Industrial to Commercial. This is in part due to a change in market demand in the area to include additional uses into the quadrant. Staff does not believe that this will hinder future industrial growth for the area (1) because there are approximately 300 acres available of industrial lands available in the SW Industrial Park and another 1200 acres mapped in the area for industrial use. That being said there is concern that increased traffic coming into the industrial park or increased industrial activity could have an impact on residential uses in this area and any CUP brought forward in that regard will be evaluated and potentially conditioned to mitigate those impacts or denied altogether due to the concerns. Communications The City has received several communications on this issue which include a letter (attached) from the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Co. supporting the specific request to amend the land use for the applicant's (Swiderski) subject property but opposing any other land use amendment to the west. Planning staff also received an email from an adjacent residential property owner to the east opposing change to permit residential. Lastly, staff took a phone call from the owners of United Cooperative opposing a change to residential due to noise concerns about their operations with all the rail activity. United Cooperative is approximately 4,000 feet to the west of the applicant property and 1/2 mile to west of the extent of the staff initiated amendment area at the intersection of Clairville Road and STH 91. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends denial of the applicant's (Swiderski) request to amend the subject property land use designation from manufacturing to residential due to the residential only designation conflicting with land use recommendations to the west, east, and north. Staff recommends approval to amend the land use map from industrial to Commercial for the area as proposed due to the mixed use nature of the area. At its September 19, 2017 meeting the Plan Commission approved of changing the land use map designation from Industrial to Commercial as recommended by staff. Mr. Burich reviewed the background of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and how it was designated and explained the purpose for it. He discussed the zoning ordinance and how it coincides with the land use map and explained the process of amending the Comprehensive Plan and why it is done. He discussed the request received from the petitioner and the City request to initiate a broader land use change. He displayed on the map the area of the petitioner's request and the area of the City's proposal and that the petitioner was requesting a change from Industrial to Residential use whereas the City's proposal was to amend the larger area from Industrial to Commercial Mixed -Use. He discussed the current land uses in this area and that the Commercial Mixed -Use designation was a better land use classification for this area based on the current and potential future uses. He reviewed the map from the 2004 study completed by Doth and Van Dyke when the area was designated for industrial use. He reviewed the Southwest Industrial Park expansion plan map and discussed retaining the area on the western portion for industrial use. He also discussed the benefits of the Suburban Mixed Use District that is a new designation in the City's zoning ordinance and that residential use will be allowed in the Commercial Mixed -Use land use district with a conditional use permit. He reviewed the land inventory map for industrial -zoned property which reflects that the city has 747 acres of vacant industrial land available. He also reviewed the land inventory map for multi -family residential property which reflects that the city has 241 acres of vacant residential land available and stated that there is more residential development near industrial facilities. He also reviewed a map of the residential land inventory depicting the zoning, number of lots and acres as well as a map of the City recommendation for the Commercial Mixed -Use area and the existing land use designations in the current Comprehensive Plan. He explained that this land use amendment would allow for the set up for future annexations by creating a land use designation that would be conforming to potential uses and would also allow developments to be reviewed by the Commission. Mr. Borsuk questioned if the Ripple Avenue site that was recently approved for a residential multi- family development was already zoned for residential use. Mr. Burich responded that it was already residentially zoned and did not require a land use amendment. Mr. Borsuk then questioned the amount of wetlands in this area and how much was developable land. Mr. Burich replied that a lot of wetlands indicator soils are prevalent in this area and will impact the future development on these properties. Mr. Borsuk inquired if we approve a land use amendment, would we have to also approve the development plan. Mr. Burich responded negatively and stated that the development would require approval of a conditional use permit and the land use amendment was the only action being considered at this time. Mr. Borsuk stated that he was concerned with protecting the Industrial Park area and particularly the transload facility. He questioned if the hours of operation could be obtained and discussed noise issues in off hours and if someone could provide more details on what could be expected with this facility. He voiced his concerns with complaints from less intensive uses and negative impacts on residential properties if allowed to develop in this vicinity as the transload facility is a unique opportunity for the community. Mr. Burich indicated that the city still has a noise ordinance in effect and that the distance between the transload facility site and residential property uses is about a half mile. Allen Davis, Director of Community Development, stated that the amount of distance from the transload site to the area potentially to be affected by the land use amendment should not have a major impact on multi -family dwelling units. He felt that single-family residential uses would be more of a concern regarding noise issues created by industrial uses. Mr. Thorns commented that when the transload facility was approved, none of these issues were in play at that time and that he had concerns with the change in land use that would allow commercial and residential uses considering the products that may be transported by the railroad and may be dangerous. Mr. Davis indicated that he could follow-up with the railroad on details of what would be handled at this facility. Mr. Burich commented that established land uses to the north and west of the transload facility site are in the same proximity as the potential development site. Mr. Thorns stated that he would still like answers regarding the products that would be transported by the railroad. Mr. Borsuk questioned if time was of the essence for this request. Mr. Burich responded that it may be for the developer. Mr. Borsuk discussed the residential encroachment on the industrial area in this vicinity that was due to an agreement with previous city staff and questioned why the city would be less concerned with noise complaints from multi -family residential uses than with single-family uses. Mr. Davis replied that single-family occupants are more concerned with their neighborhood environment and the city does not receive as many complaints from occupants of multi -family residential uses. Ms. Propp discussed the new zoning designations included in the zoning ordinance such as the Commercial Mixed -Use District and what type of impact it may have on the area. She was mainly concerned with any negative impacts that would result from a mixed-use area. Mr. Burich indicated that the mixed-use designation would result in more activity and people in the area however the negative impacts could be more intense from industrial uses than commercial and residential. Ms. Propp questioned what other uses could potentially be there other than the proposed residential development. Mr. Burich listed off allowable uses in this district such as retail or office uses and stated that it would be similar to uses found along Highway 41 other than the added capability of allowing multi -family residential uses. Ms. Propp, requested to see on the map the location of the transload facility. Mr. Burich displayed on the map its location. Mr. Thoms questioned if with the Commercial Mixed -Use land designation, would a conditional use permit not be required if it was an approved use for this district. Mr. Burich responded affirmatively. Mr. Thoms then questioned if a multi -family residential development would require a conditional use permit. Mr. Burich responded affirmatively however commercial uses would not all need a conditional use permit. Mr. Thorns inquired if the land use amendment would create nonconforming uses. Mr. Burich responded negatively and stated that nonconforming uses will not exist at this time as this area is not within the city limits and any use would not be nonconforming until such a time that the land would be annexed into the city. Mr. Thoms then inquired if we would be creating issues for the existing uses already established in this area. Mr. Burich responded negatively and stated that this action would make the land use plan consistent with the current uses in this area. Mr. Lyons added that since this area is not in the city, any property would have to be rezoned at such a time that it is annexed into the city. Mr. Thoms also inquired if the area designated as Business Park zoning would change due to this action. Mr. Burich responded negatively and indicated that we would be lining up underlying zoning districts with the current uses. Mr. Thoms then asked if the multi -family development will have to be annexed with a zoning designation of SMU-PD. Mr. Burich responded affirmatively unless the development would be done within the town in which case it would be under town zoning designation however this will not happen as the development will not occur without the provisions of city services. Mr. Borsuk discussed the location of the transload facility and the effects of residential and commercial development in this area that could be negatively impacted. Jason White, Greater Oshkosh Economic Development Corporation, stated that the industrial development committee was asked to weigh in on the petitioner's request for support and concerns were expressed by the committee but no vote was taken on the matter. They discussed the possibilities of the industrial park land and had no objections to the residential use of that portion of land proposed by the petitioner but did not discuss the larger area proposed by the city. He further stated that this project does not impede anything in the industrial park and there was a need to expand the quality of life in the community by providing more multi -family and single-family housing units so people working in Oshkosh could also live in the community. He supported the petitioner's request for the land use amendment of the area they requested but will not weigh in on the larger area proposed by the city. Mr. Borsuk again questioned if the transload facility will have any negative impact on the mixed uses that could develop in this area if the land use designation was changed from industrial. Mr. White responded that he had concerns with the land use amendment going further to the west and discussed the wetlands in this vicinity that would hinder development in some areas and the wetlands that were located directly to the west of the proposed development site creating a barrier for Iand use of this portion of property. Mr. Thorns discussed the letter submitted by the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Company as he felt it was confusing however it appeared that they did not support any zone changes of land to the west. Mr. White indicated that he cannot speak for the railroad however it was his understanding that they desired to protect the industrial land without impacting the residential use. Andy Janke, 1031 W. 10th Avenue, stated that he was neutral on this issue as he did not see any problem with the proposed residential development however he was on the fence due to the residents in the vicinity that may be opposed to the change. He continued to discuss past developments in this area that had not had any negative impacts on the vicinity in the long term. Jacqui Miller, S.C. Swiderski, 407. Ranger Street, Mosinee, representing the petitioner for the request, stated that they supported the recommendation in the staff report for a broader land use amendment as it protects the area and land use and creates a good buffer area between the industrial use and the single-family uses. Mr. Borsuk questioned what the time line was for the proposed development. Ms. Miller responded that she has been in contact with the city and the real estate developer and discussed their company's development of multi -family housing projects in other communities that are located in close proximity to industrial uses. She continued the discussion regarding their methods of buffering noise issues that have been successful. Mr. Borsuk inquired if their intent was to be in the ground this season or next year. Ms. Miller replied that they were looking at spring of 2018 or by the end of that year however they cannot start the process of finalizing any development plans until the land use amendment issue has been resolved. Mr. Borsuk questioned if they would be able to provide additional sound proofing to prevent issues with the railroad use. Ms. Miller responded that they can work with the city on this matter. Mr. Hinz discussed the concerns regarding the sound proofing issues and that he lived in the city near the railroad yard as a child and the noise issues are not as bad as perceived. Mr. Thorns commented that the land use amendment is the only issue being considered at this time and he had no concerns with it and details related to future development projects will be reviewed at the time of submission. He did not see a down side to changing the land use in this area to commercial mixed-use as the city seems to have a surplus of industrial land. He discussed the statistics of residential and retail uses in this area and felt that it made sense and he would support the broader land use amendment proposed by the city. Mr. Borsuk stated that instead of using Global Parkway as delineation for the land use that we should use another line further to the east and reduce the proposed commercial mixed-use area that is currently proposed. He felt the land use to the west could be amended to commercial at a later date after we see what kind of potential development occurs. Mr. Thorns disagreed and stated that he does not see any reason to protect more area for industrial use as the city has an excessive amount of industrial land now. Board discussion continued on where the line should be drawn for the land use amendment and that the buffer area would be larger with the proposed city request. They further discussed the land to the west of the proposed development site which did not appear to be developable due to the presence of wetlands and how the barrier line was chosen. It was the consensus of the Commission that the road 10 created a natural barrier dividing the industrial designation from the commercial mixed-use designation. Motion by Kiefer to approve a Comprehensive Land Use Plan map amendment from industrial to commercial mixed -arse far property located on the south side of STH 91 between Clairville Road and STH 44.

This letter is in no way to be used or construed as global support for any other potential residential development or rezoning either adjacent or nearby the rail corridor that today is currently zoned as Industrial. Wisconsin & Southern Railroad is not in support of further potential rezoning of any kind west of the currently proposed development which is identified as the LAND USE AMENDMENT REQUEST AREA. (PETITIONER REQUEST) set forth within the LAND USE AMENDMENT prepared by the City of Oshkosh, WI with a print date of 712712017. To clarify we do not suppos.-t any rezoning of the area identified as die AREA. OF POTENTIAL LAND USE AMENDMENT (STAFF INITIATED) set .forth within before mentioned document, The document is attached for reference. We ask that the City of Oshkosh continue to preserve ALL remaining land zoned' as industrial along or nearby the railroad corridor for future industrial use only. Sincerely, t 1 Kathleen M.

IxBurich, Darryn na �ne000ionn omm�n ioimm From: Peggy Glebel <peggy_giebel@yahoo.com> Sent: Monday, August 28, 2017 4:06 PM To: BudGh, Darryn Subject: nekimi land rezoning Hi, I am touching base regarding rezoning of a parcel of land between Hwy 44 and Hwy 91, We currently live right next to the land in discussion and we would not be in favor of having multi -family housing next door. We chose to live whexe we live because we don't want a lot of neighbors. In ow little group of houses, we all keep to ourselves and respect the space and privacy of each other. There would also be concern about what something like this does to our land value. Assessing the quality of housing going in, where the driveways are, which direction the buildings are facing, etc. Then of course if this does happen it would become city property, and i am understanding we sit in the annex zone, so that leads me to ask when the city would make our land city as well. Our Iand would become a suburb instead of a couple houses out of town. We like where we live and don't look forward to change that would effect our land and home values in a negative manner.

The October meeting of the Oshkosh Public Museum Board was held on Thursday,October 5,2017, in the Lecture Room of the Oshkosh Public Museum. President Hoffman called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m. Mr. Larson welcomed Barbara Herzog to the meeting. Ms. Herzog, Oshkosh School Board Vice President, will be standing in for Ms. Garner, School Board President. The roll was taken by Ms. Books. Present: Present: Excused: Mr. Randy Domer Ms.Jean Thierman, Secretary Ms. Connie Drexler, Alternate Ms. Carol Fenrich Ms. Barbara Herzog, School Ms. MariBeth Theusch,Alternate Mr.Jim Hoffman, President Board Vice President Mr. Gabe Loiacono Mr. Stan Mack, Superintendent Ms. Becky Matzke,Vice President of Schools Mr. Rick Rego Mr.John Dinegan, Leadership Oshkosh Representative Also in attendance: Museum Director Brad Larson, Auxiliary President Barb Shirtz, and Administrative Assistant Theresa Books recording the minutes. No Citizens were in attendance. Consent Agenda items included the following: A. Minutes of the September Board meeting B. October Bill List Mr. Rego moved that the Consent Agenda be approved. Second by Ms. Thierman. The vote went as follows: In Favor: In Favor: Against: Mr. Domer Mr. Rego None Ms. Fenrich Ms. Thierman Mr.Hoffman Ms. Herzog Mr. Loiacono Mr.Mack Ms. Matzke The vote was unanimous in favor and the Consent Agenda items were passed. Next on the agenda was discussion and vote on the Museum being closed Sunday, December 24, 2017. Mr. Larson noted that in any given year there is very little attendance on Christmas Eve. With Christmas Eve being on the Sunday, and the Museum is open just 3-1/2 hours anyway, he recommends the Museum be closed that day. Minutes of the October 2017 Museum Board Meeting Oshkosh Public Museum■1331 Algoma Boulevard■Oshkosh,Wisconsin 54901 Page 1 of 4 Mr.Domer moved that the Museum be closed Sunday, December 24, 2017. Second by Ms. Matzke.With no further questions the vote was taken. The vote went as follows: In Favor: In Favor: Against: Mr. Domer Mr. Rego None Ms. Fenrich Ms. Thierman Mr.Hoffman Ms. Herzog Mr. Loiacono Mr.Mack Ms. Matzke The vote was unanimous in favor that the Museum be closed Sunday, December 24, 2017. Next on the agenda was discussion and vote on increasing Museum admissions. The Board had previously received a table comparing admissions at other museums. The recommendation was to raise rates to the following: Adults$8.00, Seniors and College Students$6.00, Children 6 through 17, $4.00. Children under six still would receive free admission. Mr. Larson reviewed that admissions have been at the current rates for twelve years. He recommended the dollar increase for adults, seniors and college students, and a fifty-cent increase for children. He feels the small increase will not discourage people from attending, but it would make an increase of $15,000 - $20,000 for annual admissions revenue. Ms. Thierman moved that the Board approve the recommended Museum admission increases. Second by Ms. Fenrich. With no further questions the vote was taken. The vote went as follows: In Favor: In Favor: Against: Mr. Domer Mr. Rego None Ms. Fenrich Ms. Thierman Mr.Hoffman Ms. Herzog Mr. Loiacono Mr.Mack Ms. Matzke The vote was unanimous in favor to increase Museum admission rates to: Adults $8.00, Seniors and College Students$6.00, Children 6 through 17 to$4.00. Mr. Hoffman then requested that Mr. Larson present the Director's Report. Mr. Larson began with the information that the Museum's budget review is October 31. The Board will receive a copy of the budget after that review. As with previous operating budgets, the Museum's number one challenge is to increase revenue. He reviewed that the Museum generates revenue primarily through admissions and store sales.Increasing the dollars generated Minutes of the October 2017 Museum Board Meeting Oshkosh Public Museum■1331 Algoma Boulevard■Oshkosh,Wisconsin 54901 Page 2 of 4 from these two sources is paramount for the future of the Museum. Staff are doing this through the development of new exhibitions and ways of engaging the public, offering traveling exhibitions,expanding marketing efforts,and moving to online sales.These will remain priorities for many years. Mr. Loiacono interjected the recommendation to expand selections of Oshkosh related apparel in the Museum store and consider marketing to parents that the Museum is a great place to come with children to explore and play for a few hours on any day. He noted that his children were intrigued for hours in Grandma's Attic and the log cabin, and really enjoyed all that People of the Waters has to explore. Reviewing that the Museum has had some very encouraging revenue years, such as when Art of the Brick was presented,Mr.Larson noted that the Museum has been unable to maintain a strong, consistent baseline attendance.Positive change is happening, and staff continue to do everything possible to increase attendance. Looking toward the future and excluding any unforeseen windfalls, it seems likely that the Museum cannot expect the tax levy portion of the budget to expand beyond annual increases related to personnel. What that means in practical terms is that the income portion of the budget takes on growing significance. Next, Mr. Larson was pleased to report that the kick-off meeting with Split Rock Studios (SRS) on September 19 went very smoothly and was very productive with staff providing SRS with a great deal of material and ideas. He noted that if things go as planned, staff will have the initial look at the ideas for the entrance and second floor exhibitions on November 9, and the Board will have its first look at the draft concept at the December 7 meeting. Mr. Larson anticipates that the cost per square foot will be lower in these galleries than with People of the Waters because staff plan to do more of the work in-house and only contract for those elements that are beyond our capabilities. He explained SRS and staff also had a valuable discussion about how to approach the second floor projects.The proposed timetable would be to tackle the red gallery first,leaving Memories&Dreams untouched and available for Museum guests to enjoy. Staff intend to use 2018 for artifact selection and research and thus be well positioned when design development begins in 2019, which is also when design development starts on building modifications. He reviewed that neither project can go out for bid until the Museum has full funding; staff anticipate that will be in 2020. Mr. Larson further clarified that once the red galleries are completed, the aim is to commence work on the removal of Memories &Dreams.The ideal situation would be to do the removal at the same time as the "back of Museum" modifications, meaning the freight elevator and loading area. However, that phase is not yet in the capital improvement program. That concluded the Director's report. Mr. Hoffman then presented the President's Report. He gave the Board members a copy of the completed Board evaluation of Mr. Larson, requesting that they review it briefly and then hand it back to him to keep it confidential. Mr. Hoffman expressed congratulations to Matt Reinke on his receipt of the City Employee of the Month and City Employee of the Quarter Awards. They are much deserved. He noted that all of Mr. Reinke's work on People of the Waters and here at the Museum in general, is extremely valued. That concluded the President's Report. There were no Directors reports nor World War One Commemoration Committee report. Minutes of the October 2017 Museum Board Meeting Oshkosh Public Museum■1331 Algoma Boulevard■Oshkosh,Wisconsin 54901 Page 3 of 4 Mr. Hoffman then requested the Auxiliary Report. Ms. Shirtz began by expressing that the Museum Auxiliary was pleased to again support the Museum with a donation to cover the cost of Ancestry.com. Regarding the Gala, Ms. Shirtz reported that the Board will receive their invitations through the mail, and invitations are being sent to all Museum members who live in the area. She noted that plans for the Gala have been firmed up and Auxiliary members will soon sign up for the various jobs. In conclusion, Mr. Shirtz said she speaks for all the Auxiliary members that they are pleased to be back in the Lecture Room for their monthly meetings, and it will make it much easier for their food preparer, Faith. In addition, having the Lecture Room available will also help in the set up and staging for the Gala. That concluded the Auxiliary Report. With no other agenda items Mr. Hoffman asked for a motion to adjourn. Mr. Domer so moved and Ms. Thierman seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor and the motion was passed. The meeting adjourned at 4:35 p.m. Minutes of the October 2017 Museum Board Meeting Oshkosh Public Museum■1331 Algoma Boulevard■Oshkosh,Wisconsin 54901 Page 4 of 4 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL CITY OF OSHKOSH, WISCONSIN OCTOBER 10, 2017 REGULAR MEETING held Tuesday, October 10, 2017, at 6:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, City Hall Mayor Cummings presided. PRESENT: Council Members Steven Herman, Caroline Panske, Jake Krause, Tom Pech, Jr., Lori Palmeri and Mayor Steve Cummings EXCUSED: Council Member Deb Allison-Aasby ALSO PRESENT: Mark Rohloff, City Manager; Pamela Ubrig, City Clerk; Lynn Lorenson, City Attorney; and Allen Davis, Director of Community Development Council Member Herman read the Invocation. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Council Member Herman. PUBLIC HEARING Resolution 17-489 Approve Final Resolution for Special Assessments — Contract No. 17-31 Cold Mix Asphalt Paving: 1021 Bauman Street MOTION: ADOPT (Herman; second, Pech) CARRIED: Ayes (5) Herman, Krause, Pech, Palmeri, Mayor Cummings Noes (1) Panske Don Schettle, 1021 Bauman Street, provided photographs to Council. He stated he had received a letter indicating the City planned to redo the street in front of his house. He explained the road had been moved approximately 8-10 years ago, although they did not do any work to the middle of the road. He stated the photographs showed the condition of the road in the middle. He explained he had been told by Mr. Patek, the director of public works at the time, that the City did not have enough funds to complete the entire road and therefore just did the sides. He stated he had informed Mr. Patek it would cause problems in the future. He explained he did not feel as though he should be responsible PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 for the cost as it should have been taken care of by the City when they moved the road. He suggested the City complete a temporary repair down the middle, as it was not supposed to be a permanent fix due to the age of the sewer system. He stated if the City decided to complete the entire street, they should cover his costs as he was the only property owner adversely impacted. Council Member Panske questioned if he had been assessed for the previous work. Mr. Schettle stated no; the City had wanted to move the road and had not charged the property owners. Council Member Panske questioned when the work had been done. Mr. Schettle stated approximately 8-10 years ago. He stated the four properties on the east side had benefited as they had received additional footage from the right of way, and the road had been moved as far west as possible onto his property. He explained he was the only remaining property owner that would be adversely impacted. Council Member Pech questioned why this property was singled out when the material provided to Council indicated there were several properties on the street being assessed. James Rabe, Director of Public Works, explained there had been a public hearing for the other properties on the street, however, a notice had been missed to 1021 Bauman Street, which was why there was a public hearing for the sole property. Council Member Pech questioned if the other properties on Bauman Street would receive an assessment. Mr. Rabe stated yes, every property would be assessed in accordance with the policy. Council Member Pech questioned if the property owner was being treated any different than the other property owners on Bauman Street. Mr. Rabe stated no, it was a matter of the notice being missed that caused the need for the public hearing. Council Member Panske questioned why Council had not received any information regarding the pavement work 8-10 years ago; she explained the packet indicated the pavement had been placed on Bauman Street in 1925. 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 Mr. Rabe stated he was not certain. He explained if the GIS was not appropriately updated when the work was done it could explained why it was not properly documented. Council Member Palmeri questioned why the City would have not repaired the center section. She asked if it was a rare situation or if it was something that the City did in other locations. Mr. Rabe questioned if she meant at present time or in the past. Council Member Palmeri stated in the past. Mr. Rabe stated he was not certain why the decision was made in the past. Mr. Schettle explained he had been told by Mr. Patek that the reason it was not complete was that the City did not have enough money to do so. Council Member Herman stated based on the photographs, it appeared to be the center of the road that was in poor condition. He questioned if that's where the City would have put the storm sewers at the time. Mr. Rabe stated there would not be storm sewers running down the center on Bauman Street, they would run perpendicular at the cross streets towards the river. Council Member Herman stated due to the width of the road he would guess that most traffic drove down the center. He explained he thought it was notable that it was the center of the road that was in poor condition, which was in a sense the City's responsibility. He stated Council had approved the project aside from the single property being missed in the notice. Mr. Rohloff stated to clarify the policy did not state that the City would cover the middle third of the road. He explained the City covered 1/3 and each resident side covered 1/3. He stated the City owned property on the other side of the street and were covering approximately 2/3 of the cost of the street repair. Council Member Pech stated it was one thing to be frugal and another to be cheap. He explained this was a situation in which his predecessors had chosen to go the cheap route and did not take care of something when it should have been. He stated he understood the gentleman's concern, although the other properties were also being assessed. 3 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 Council Member Herman stated Mr. Schettle was not being singled out, the other property owners would be equally assessed. He explained he believed it would be a good way to extend the life of the road. PRESENTATIONS Professor David Fuller stated he had originally planned to speak on police, fire and rescues charges, and at the last minute he had been informed he was asked to speak about the impact of EAA. Mr. Rohloff stated he should present whatever Mr. Goelzer had asked him to speak about. Council Member Palmeri questioned if the agenda was being changed. Mr. Rohloff explained he believed it was relevant to the discussion. Council Member Panske stated the agenda listed 'impact of EAA on local economy'. Mr. Rohloff stated Dr. Fuller would be doing an economic analysis and he believed it would be appropriate to give him leeway. Dr. Fuller explained that Oshkosh was event City which had a positive impact through increased tourism and economic activity, as well as increased recognition and exposure. He explained there was a negative side to it as well, with a strain on City resources such as police, fire and rescue services (PRF). He stated the goal of his analysis was to help discover the best method for charging for PRF services at special events in the best interest of the City overall. He explained the stakes were high; although it may not seem important how charges were calculated as long as the budget balanced, special events were an important component of the local economy. He stated his perspective often varied from that of the City's. Council Member Pech questioned how the presentation would connect to EAA's impact on the local economy. Dr. Fuller stated this was what he had been asked to present. Council Member Pech questioned who had asked him to do so. 4 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 Dr. Fuller stated by David Goelzer. He explained he had received a copy of the agenda and noted that it listed 'economic impact of EAA' which was not what he had been asked to present. Mr. Rohloff stated he had forwarded the title to Mr. Goelzer, who did not get back to him with different wording, therefore he left the description as it was. Council Member Pech explained there was a perception in the community that the City was not being transparent or communicative about topics, therefore he believed it was important to adhere to what was listed on the agenda. Ms. Lorenson stated the presentation appeared to apply more to the item listed later on in the agenda related to special event fees. Mr. Rohloff stated he did not disagree. Council Member Herman requested Mr. Goelzer approach the podium. Dave Goelzer, EAA counsel, stated he had indicated to Mr. Rohloff and Council that they had requested that Dr. Fuller complete the analysis, which he had provided copies of. He explained he had told Mr. Rohloff he would like Dr. Fuller to present his report to the Council. He stated he had sent Mr. Rohloff a title, which was broader than the one listed on the agenda, and combined the study with economic impact. He explained there had been no attempt to hide anything and he would be happy to provide the email regarding the details of the presentation with Mr. Rohloff. Council Member Pech stated while he understood, he believed he presentation applied to the discussion that would be held later in the evening about special events. Mr. Goelzer explained he had requested that Dr. Fuller be permitted to present the first study, which was what he was trying to do. Council Member Pech stated perhaps Dr. Fuller should present the economic impact first, and speak a second time during the special events section. Mr. Goelzer stated Dr. Fuller's study dealt with a strategic view of how the City should look at and deal with special events. He explained it was broader than the 2018 charges that were listed on the agenda. 5 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 Council Member Pech stated Mr. Goelzer was referring to charges, when the item was listed as economic impact. Mr. Goelzer stated that had been a mistake; in his view there was no doubt that the presentation was supposed to have been the two-part study on determining charges for special events. He explained it had been forwarded to Council approximately 6 weeks ago. Council Member Pech questioned what the second part of the study was related to. Mr. Goelzer stated the second part was titled 'assessing the fiscal impact of EAA on the City of Oshkosh'. He explained it was not part of the study related to the $170 million that benefited the Fox Valley; it was specific to the City. He stated while the two studies sounded alike, they were different. Mr. Rohloff stated he had located Mr. Goelzer's email where he talked about the title. He apologized for the confusion. He explained it was up to Council how Dr. Fuller proceeded. Council Member Palmeri stated it sounded as though it had been a miscommunication. She explained because they did not have a presentation on the economic impact of EAA, the information from Dr. Fuller needed to come later in the meeting during the special events item. Council Member Herman stated he agreed, although he believed Dr. Fuller's presentation would pass the 5 minute time limit during the special events resolution. Council Member Panske questioned if Dr. Fuller had the second part of his study on the economic impact of EAA with him. Dr. Fuller stated no. Mr. Rohloff stated Council had been sent reports prior to the September 121h workshop, and he had mixed up the titles between the two different reports. The consensus of the Council was to reschedule the presentation. Mr. Rohloff apologized for the confusion. 6 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 Mayor Cummings stated he understood there was a number of individuals present to speak on the Lakeshore Municipal Golf Course topic. He explained there would be a presentation, followed by Council, and then citizen comments. Mr. Davis explained City staff had been receiving comments on the different concept plans that were displayed on the City website. He explained they had also held two public input sessions, and a summary of the information had been provided to Council in written form. He stated the concept plan was not a fixed document and was still being developed. He explained specifics to the concept plan, such as the different types of recreational opportunities that may be available at the site, they were not being proposed at this time as it would be up to the advisory parks board and parks department to help determine in the future. He stated it was not yet determined if Council would approve the proposal or if Oshkosh Corporation would accept the proposal; they remained in a competitive environment and the goal was to submit the proposal by November 1, 2017. Council Member Herman stated he did not understand how concepts could be proposed to citizens and Oshkosh Corporation and then later changed. He questioned who had decided to move forward in this direction. He stated he understood there was not enough greenspace for the size of the community. He explained he felt the City was moving in a direction he did not believe they could come back from. He stated that bothered him because Council had not had the opportunity to weigh in on any of it. Mr. Davis explained the parks advisory board and the parks department made it clear that they wanted time to create a master plan if there were to be 70 acres remaining. He stated they had not started work on a plan, they had concepts developed to present a non-binding proposal to Oshkosh Corporation. Mr. Rohloff stated concept plans, similar to the Sawdust District, were subject to final plans. He explained this was to provide the public an idea of what things could be possible at the site. He stated the parks board would play a major role in any redevelopment at the site and would ultimately be making a recommendation to Council. He explained the concept plans were to get the public thinking about different possibilities. He stated there were concept plans for the Sawdust District, although the only piece that had a master plan was the arena. He explained it was not unusual to begin with concept plans and further down the road solidify intents. Council Member Pech stated he had sent an email to Mr. Rohloff, Mr. Davis and Mr. Burich explaining that if the proposal were to be accepted by Oshkosh Corporation, the remaining acreage would remain community greenspace. He explained he did not support concept 2, as it would have significant additional development in the area that 7 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 was currently part of the golf course. He stated he wanted to make it clear that any land that did not go to Oshkosh Corporation would remain public greenspace. Mr. Rohloff stated he had been clear in his email. He explained the purpose of the public input sessions had been to see if there were any other ideas in the community, and they had received a number of suggestions. He suggested that everyone keep an open mind about the possibilities for the site. Council Member Palmeri stated she struggled with the fact that it seemed there was an assumption that the sale would happen, when Council had not had a discussion on whether the golf course would continue or if a proposal was a possibility. She explained she understood there was a compressed timeline, however, she felt the process was taking place out of order. She stated the decision making piece was missing from the timeline. Mayor Cummings stated a concept plan was just a concept; the idea needed to begin somewhere and City staff was not able to just keep verbalizing ideas. He explained they were in competition with other cities throughout the country. He stated the proposal would be for 30 acres to go to Oshkosh Corporation and the remainder to stay community greenspace. He explained the concept plans merely provided an idea of what the site could be; it was a beginning point. Council Member Palmeri stated the timeline listed 'November 1- draft proposal due to Oshkosh Corporation', and questioned if that would be a draft or final proposal. Mr. Davis stated it was listed on the timeline as the deadline to have a proposal drafted to provide to Oshkosh Corporation. He explained it would go before Council for approval at the November 141h Council meeting. Council Member Palmeri stated it would be the pre-Council final draft. Mr. Davis stated that was correct. Nik Davis, Principal Associate, Houseal & Lavigne Associates, explained the concept plans gave a visual interpretation of what would be possible at the site. He stated there could be many different versions of the concept plans and a master plan would need to be developed in the future. He presented visuals of the two different concept plans, the first which emphasized capitalizing on greenspace and did not include additional development on the golf course footprint; the second concept was similar to the first, 8 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 aside from an additional development area. He presented a 3D visualization of the first concept to give a sense of what the site could look like. Council Member Palmeri questioned if there was not going to be any additional development outside of the Oshkosh Corporation campus on the first concept, why a restaurant was depicted. Mr. Nik Davis stated there was a potential restaurant location that had been recommended by Oshkosh Corporation and was an item to consider as they moved forward. Council Member Palmeri questioned if Oshkosh Corporation had directed them to include the restaurant in the concept plan. Mr. Nik Davis stated they did not direct, they had explained that it was an amenity they were looking for. Mayor Cummings stated any development along Oshkosh Avenue would take place on private property, there was no City property. He explained he believed the City had been clear that whatever was developed in the area would need to be first class operations. He stated the area would become a gateway into the community, and the developments would need to reflect the high quality and caliber of the City. Council Member Pech stated it was his understanding that the restaurant was not included just for Oshkosh Corporation; that it could be a destination for community residents. Mr. Nik Davis stated that was correct. He explained they could see value in a restaurant being included at the site due to the number of people expected to utilize the area, although because it was a concept plan it may not be located exactly where it was currently situated on the visual aid. CITIZEN STATEMENTS Ann Marshall, 1120 Olson Avenue, explained the potential concepts for redevelopment of the golf course was one of the'hot topics' on the City's website. She stated she attended a public input session and thanked the City for the opportunity. She explained while she had biases, she tried to recognize them and not let them influence her decisions. She stated Oshkosh Corporation had a huge economic impact on the City and surrounding 9 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 area and it would have been inexcusable if GO-EDC and the City had not taken action when they learned that Oshkosh Corporation was looking at various locations. She agreed that greenspace was essential in the community and the golf course sat on approximately 100 acres. She explained that while many enjoyed the golf course, she doubted that even 10% of the City's population of 66,000 people used the course, and the two parks on the space were small. She stated if 30 acres were sold to Oshkosh Corporation it would leave 70 acres of greenspace that had potential to be developed into a lakeside park for the use of the community. She explained she understood there were additional suggestions to the two concept plans that had been presented. She stated she preferred the first concept of developing the space into a large park that the entire population of the City would have access to. She explained she did question where the money to make that development happen would come from, although she stated that was a conversation topic for another time. She stated she believed the City needed to make every effort to keep Oshkosh Corporation's executive offices here. She explained if Oshkosh Corporation were to leave, there would be significant negative consequence to the City's economic stability. Rachel Hansen, 344 Oak Manor Drive, stated she was present to represent Propel, which was Oshkosh's young professional organization. She explained one of their missions and goals was to attract young professionals aged 21-40 for local businesses in the Oshkosh area. She stated they accomplished this by hosting many business and social events throughout the year. She explained the City shared a similar goal,which was why Propel wished to speak in favor of Oshkosh Corporation attaining the lakeshore property. She stated Oshkosh Corporation was the single largest tool in recruiting and maintaining young professionals to the City. She explained they had conducted a survey amongst young professionals aged 34 and under. She stated of the 87 respondents, 72 young professionals responded that they wanted Oshkosh Corporation to stay in Oshkosh, even if it meant selling the golf course. She explained it would further economic development, maintain jobs, support local businesses and continue its philanthropic endeavors. She, on behalf of Propel, requested that Council vote to sell the golf course to Oshkosh Corporation to protect the integrity of the community and continue to enhance the future for young professionals. Kathleen Propp, 1936 Hazel Street, stated she was present to speak in favor of parks. She explained Lakeshore Municipal Golf Course was not just a golf course;it was a park. She stated parks were quality of life assets, and no water front park was an underutilized piece of land that should be sold for development, even to Oshkosh Corporation. She explained contrary to popular belief, the golf course was not struggling, it was popular. She stated the charge for golf basically covered operating expenses and there was no taxpayer levy. She explained the golf course enterprise fund owes$800,000 to the general 10 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 fund due to a huge 2009 balloon debt payment to cover the course's drainage improvement. She stated the drainage work should not be viewed solely as a golf course benefit; without that project the parcel would not be buildable today. She explained Oshkosh fell well below national standards for community parks, open space and recreation areas. She stated she believed the waterfront, public greenspace should either remain as a golf course or become a community park with its own master plan for recreation facilities. She explained in the event Council were to proceed with a sale to Oshkosh Corporation, she supported the first concept plan with maximum park acreage and zero commercial development on golf course land. She stated the City's price should be maximum market value, established with advice from outside professionals, not just the City assessor. She explained the proceeds should first go towards a river walk and park improvements. She stated it hurt to lose the lake front property, although Oshkosh Corporation paying for(through the sale price) the improvement of 70 acres of park space would help heal the division in the community. She explained she would not support any development by a different company should Oshkosh Corporation not proceed with the proposal. Council Member Pech requested Ms. Propp share the recommended acreage of park space. Ms. Propp stated it was 7-10 acres per 1,000 members of the population and Oshkosh had just over 5 acres per 1,000. She explained the statistics were from the 2011 parks and recreation plan. Council Member Pech stated there were two additional large greenspaces that were located within the City, however, because they were owned by another governmental entity, were not included in the data. Ms. Propp stated she did not believe County Park was included in the statistics,however, she explained Ray Maurer, Director of Parks, would be able to answer that question. Ray Maurer, Director of Parks, explained County Park was not included in those statistics, as they identified City owned properties. Council Member Pech stated County Park did fall within the City boundaries. Mr. Maurer stated agreed. Council Member Pech questioned if part of Asylum Bay fell within City boundaries. 11 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 Mr. Maurer stated he was not certain. Mayor Cummings questioned if the greenspaces at schools were incorporated into the statistics. Mr. Maurer stated no. David Borsuk, 1205 Washington Avenue, stated he was in favor of offering Lakeshore Golf Course to the Oshkosh Corporation so that they had the opportunity to choose to stay in the community. Jonathan Doemel, 455 Zarling Avenue, explained the biggest 'park' in the City was the river and the lake, and right now it was difficult to access. He stated while he could understand the love of the golf course, and had friends and family asking him to help save Lakeshore, he wanted Council to help save Oshkosh. He explained the issue was bigger than the golf course. He stated the NFL did 13 billion in sales last year and Oshkosh Corporation did 6.3 billion. He explained that had a large economic impact and their philanthropic donations were substantial. He recommended Council do everything possible to provide the community access to the waterfront and to keep Oshkosh Corporation here. He stated he did not blame Mr. Rohloff for initiating the conversation. Rob Hartley, 1711 Punhoqua Street, stated he proposed to incorporate the golf course into the present 70 acres that would be left. He explained he had obtained the free help of golf course designers including Mr. Detlaff, who stated he could take holes that were presently on the course and convert them while saving the greens and tee boxes for cost effectiveness. He stated many courses were combining the front 9 and the back 9 by offering alternative greens. He described the different course alternatives. He stated biking/hiking trails and fishing piers could be incorporated. He explained this would offer the best of both worlds. He stated he would keep Council updated via email. Matt Mugerauer, 2321 Golden Avenue, stated he believed that Mr. Rohloff was doing his job in reaching out to Oshkosh Corporation. He explained without a clear directive from Council to do or not to do something, he had the authority and duty to protect the community. He stated had Mr. Rohloff not reached out to Oshkosh Corporation, the City would not even be in the running for the site of their corporate headquarters. He explained the golf course was a business, not a park, and was meant to be self-sufficient. He stated due to poor management over many years they had not been able to pay down the debt associated with it, and they had not charged an appropriate rate to properly fund their operations. He explained the community could only access the property by paying 12 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 for a service. He stated in selling the course, the City would have the ability to open up the remaining 70 acres of land to the community. Sean Elliot, 2875 Fox Tail Lane, stated he was vice president of advocacy and safety at EAA and a longtime Oshkosh resident, and was present on behalf of EAA in support of the sale to Oshkosh Corporation. He stated in the 1950's and 1960's, the fly-in for EAA did not exist in Oshkosh; it was based in Rockford, Illinois. He explained in 1969, Rockford passed on an opportunity to maintain the fly-in, and leaders in Oshkosh sensed an opportunity and welcomed EAA to the community. He stated Oshkosh had become a mecca of the aviation industry while Rockford regretted their decision. He explained it was essential for the City to put its best foot forward in regards to keeping Oshkosh Corporation in the community. He stated there were many cities that were eager for the opportunity to have Oshkosh Corporation choose them for their corporate headquarters. He advised Council to be take the opportunity seriously. Tom Bauer, 1338 Winnebago Avenue, stated he struggled with the discussion on greenspace as he believed its value was overestimated. He explained he lived near Menominee Park and he did not believe it was heavily used, and was oftentimes empty. He stated it was one thing to talk about the need for greenspace, and another to discuss if people were actually using the greenspace that was available. He stated he believed Oshkosh Corporation had earned the property by their longtime presence and impact in the community. He explained the building they would construct would make an impression on those entering the City. He stated he wanted Oshkosh Corporation to feel valued. He explained the corporation had a lot of offers, and for them to choose to stay in a community of this size would be significant to the City. Bill Miller, 3322 Isaac Lane, explained he did not believe the golf course was a park; if you did not pay, you could not play. He stated it was a defunct business that did not make money. He explained 17 years ago,it had been promised that the golf course would repay its debt to the City, and that had not happened. He stated numerous significant manufacturing jobs had left the City. He explained the number of high paying jobs on the line was not something to be overlooked. Nicole Peterson, 1545 Arboretum Drive, explained she was in support of Oshkosh Corporation, especially due to the impact they have had on the youth in the community. She stated they came into the classroom and engaged students in unique opportunities, and opened the door for other community partners to do the same. She explained they had been welcoming and open to the community, and had inspired other companies to try and get involved with students and youth. She stated she was excited about the opportunities that were coming to Oshkosh. She explained the younger generations in 13 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 the community wanted to be able to have fun and do things right in Oshkosh, and not rely on Green Bay or Appleton for entertainment. She encouraged Council to invite Oshkosh Corporation to the Lakeshore site. Pat Weston, 2550 Lamplight Court, stated he believed it would be a win for the City to turn the golf course into a business and community park. He explained if they were able to retain Oshkosh Corporation, it would benefit the City immediately and into the foreseeable future. Matt Jameson, 431 Marion Road, stated he was speaking from the perspective of an Oshkosh resident, an Oshkosh Corporation supplier and a volunteer of a number of local non-profit organizations. He explained Oshkosh Corporation's headquarters, wherever it was located,was more than a building. He stated it was the epicenter of the company's ability to provide direct employment to thousands and the hub of their outreach to numerous supply chain partners. He explained it was the location in which corporate leaders decided on huge philanthropic endeavors that benefited the entire region. He stated the organization saved the lives of those in war, firefighters and many more. He explained it impacted the lives of nearly everyone in the community, and Lakeshore Golf Course,no matter how anyone felt about it, did not have that effect. He stated there were more than 145 suppliers just in the City that supported the work of Oshkosh Corporation. He explained their large employment base combined with the employment base of their numerous suppliers frequented retailers, service centers and restaurants in the City resulted in a huge economic benefit. He stated the City would be able to grow with the expanded presence of a premier Fortune 500 company having its world headquarters in Oshkosh. He explained 92% of all Fortune 500 companies were located in cities of more than 70,000 people and within a 45 mile radius of a city with more than 450,000 people. He stated Oshkosh would be one of only 8% that host a Fortune 500 company headquarters in a municipality below that threshold. He explained the Boys and Girls Club would not be able to be as effective or life changing without the help from Oshkosh Corporation. He stated the individuals making the decisions to help reside at the headquarters, and see the impact they have on the kids in the club. He explained he had golfed at Lakeshore and his son's team utilized the course as their home course. He appreciated the sentimental value, however, he believed in forward thinking. He stated golf courses to add to prosperity, although they did not create it. Brett Spangler, 841 Cherry Street, stated if it were true that Lakeshore was the only site in the City suitable for a headquarters, in 25-50 years when they needed a new headquarters, there would be nothing keeping them in Oshkosh. He explained future generations would be left with less land and the demolition costs for a building that was too large to house any other organization. He stated he believed the City was negotiating 14 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 from a place of weakness as the deadline kept changing. He explained good deals did not happen when you had no leverage. He stated the silence from Oshkosh Corporation was deafening as they have not responded or attended any meetings. He explained it appeared they were making every effort to leave while the City destroyed its future to appease them. Kirk Spaulding, 1456 Maricopa Drive, stated he was a lifelong resident and golfer at Lakeshore. He explained he believed the City could not afford to lose Oshkosh Corporation. He stated he understood that Lakeshore was the only viable site in Oshkosh, and if keeping the corporation in the City could be accomplished by offering the site, he would support that. He explained if the golf course were to disband, there were markers and memorials throughout the course that would need to be addressed. He stated if Oshkosh Corporation were to go in a different direction,he hoped the process would be different if the course were to be offered again. He explained he believed a referendum should take place. Laurence Carlin, 2803 Stoney Beach Street, stated he wished to express his support for Oshkosh Corporation and the sale/development of the property. He explained the overarching questions should be 'what was best for Oshkosh'. He stated to him, the answer was clear as Oshkosh Corporation employed thousands, brought considerable revenue to retailers,hotels and restaurants in the region and provided invaluable support to the community, which were things the golf course could not do. He explained if they let the opportunity go, it would be devastating for the City. He stated some had argued that Oshkosh Corporation should select a different site in the community or region, however, they would not build elsewhere and take a less desirable site when their goal was to attract and retain a talented workforce. He encouraged Council to join in the support of the development of Lakeshore and stated it was an exciting time for the community. Tim Schiessl, 4208 Shady Lane, stated there were several other sites within the City that would be suitable for Oshkosh Corporation. He explained the golf course should have never been recommended as a choice to a private company. He stated he believed Oshkosh Corporation was a gamble. He explained companies would come and go,while the park was an institution. He stated if Oshkosh Corporation kept threatening to move, the City should listen to them. He explained if the corporation left, another would replace it. He stated he was upset that private business would be able to select a jewel of the community. Gerald Anklam, 1402 Liberty Street, questioned the decision of Oshkosh Corporation to build a large, corporate headquarters on expensive land. He stated he thought the money 15 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 could be used for future product development. He explained he had training in lean manufacturing and had learned what you invest had to have a return. He stated he had heard they need a world class facility to attract people, however, he believed that pay was what attracted people. He explained he had read that the corporate headquarters would result in 200 more jobs, and hoped that they would have a product output matching that or they would become 'top-heavy'.

She stated it was her understanding that the University was no longer going to be offering Anthem, and questioned if that had been due to a performance issue or benefit concern. She asked if City staff had compared notes with staff from the University. John Fitzpatrick, Assistant City Manager, stated they had not consulted the University staff regarding Anthem. He explained City staff had operated independently and went through a request for proposal (RFP) process and had narrowed it down to Group Health Trust, Network Health and Anthem. He stated in addition to the cost savings, the employee participation committee had evaluated the RFPs and recommended Anthem. He explained selecting Anthem would result in the most savings and least disruptions to the City staff utilizing the benefit. Council Member Palmeri stated she understood it was a substantial savings. Mr. Fitzpatrick stated it was approximately$400,000. Mr. Rohloff stated although they had not discussed Anthem with University staff, Associated Benefits rated the various benefit options. He explained while Anthem had not received a high rating, City staff had presented that to the employee participation committee,who still recommended Anthem despite the rating. He stated if the City were to have concerns related to service in the future, City staff would work with Associated Benefits to resolve the issue. Council Member Herman stated he believed Group Health Trust had contributed towards the clinic. He questioned if there would be an impact on the clinic under the new plan. Mr. Fitzpatrick stated there would not be an impact to the clinic. He explained Group Health Trust had provided $200,000 annually towards the clinic and Anthem had agreed to provide the same amount. Council Member Herman questioned how the plan would impact the employees. 18 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 Mr. Fitzpatrick stated there would be a small decrease in premium and the plan design was similar to the existing plan. He stated there would be some disruption in service for some employees as Anthem would require employees to utilize Aurora, and some had been utilizing providers that would be outside of network. He explained that number was in the minority and a majority of employees would be able to keep their doctors. Resolution 17-503 Approve Charges for Extraordinary Services for Special Events — 2018 MOTION: ADOPT (Palmeri; second, Herman) CARRIED: Ayes (6) Herman, Panske, Krause, Pech, Palmeri, Mayor Cummings Ellen Schmidt, 4303 Swallow Banks Lane, stated Sawdust Days had struggled with the fee increase and the event would cost over$4,000 this year. She explained they would be charged for police vehicles, ATVs, trailers and trucks. She stated they had donated over $35,000 for permanent power, and had moved away from using that, which resulted in them being charged additional costs for generators. She explained she did not believe police officers received $79 per hour for straight time and $104 for overtime. She stated she understood the need to charge for police officers, however, she believed the charges were too much. She explained special events were important to Oshkosh and she did not believe the City was creating a friendly atmosphere for events. She stated she understood there was a deficit in 2015 and the City was trying to make it up, however, she did not believe it should be made up on the back of special events. She requested Council consider the fee schedule carefully; Oshkosh was considered Event City and she felt as though the City was trying to price them out of putting the events on. David Goelzer, 7307 N. Bridge Lane, Fox Point, stated he was EAA's legal counsel and had been a member of the special event fees working group. He explained the special events ordinance stated the cost for extraordinary services charged to event organizers would not exceed the actual cost of providing the service. He stated he objected to using Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) rates for equipment use. He explained FEMA rates were what was charged when the government rented equipment from local governments or others to use during a disaster that a local governing body could not deal with on its own. He stated the FEMA rates were not relevant to a City charging an event organizer for temporary use of existing equipment that the City provided for an event that in some way benefited the City and its quality of life. He explained FEMA rates were high; the charge for a police car that was idling by the side of the road was $15.69 a day. He stated he did not believe a special event should have to pay that high of a cost. He explained it had been stated that FEMA rates were widely accepted, which was true, 19 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 when they were implemented for their intended use. He stated he believed City staff was selecting FEMA rates because they were high and would result in a revenue source for the City. He explained the calculation for the charge for police/fire services had not been disclosed in the materials and he had to request the calculation from City staff. He stated the City had included a 10%multiplier in the calculation of the rates. He explained in the working group it had been decided that transparency would be a key factor in regards to charging for special events. He stated there had never been a mention of a 10%surcharge. He explained it had been part of the rates that were proposed at the beginning of the year, and it was his understanding that it should have been removed. He stated that he had a discussion with Trena Larson, Director of Finance, and she explained that the 10%he was referencing was intended as part of the budget for compensation of the special events coordinator. He explained he objected to the 10% additional charge that had been proposed in the beginning of the year, and the 10% that was included within the charge calculation. He stated he had not understood it was intended for an employee's salary, and felt it was a poor way to budget. He explained that he believed the rates should be rejected and any future proposals should be required to include a complete explanation of how the rates were determined. Council Member Herman asked for an explanation of how the fee schedule had been determined. Ray Maurer, Parks Director, explained it had been a long process of the working group. He stated they had met April through July, twice a month, and reported to the City manager at the end of the process. He explained they had explored a number of options related to calculating charges including researching how other municipalities throughout the country charged for special events. He stated they had proposed to charge for a number of items that had not been charged for in the past, including Community Service Officers, various fire services and straight time from various departments. He explained the 10% additional charge was not an administrative charge, which had been discussed earlier in the year, he stated it had been included on all invoices since the special events coordinator position had been created. He stated that information had been shared with the events working group; the 10% surcharge did not cover the cost of the position's salary, it only contributed to a portion, and the remainder of the position was paid for through the use of hotel room tax. Council Member Pech questioned what the increase in fees was for 2018 compared to 2017. Mr. Maurer explained across all events, the total increase would be approximately $65,000, which included $50,000 in City staff costs, a portion of which had not been 20 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 charged for in the past. He stated the increase was compared to 2016 rates because there had not been an increase in 2017. Council Member Pech stated it was his understanding that 2017 actual costs were not being recovered. Mr. Maurer stated that was correct. Council Member Pech questioned if there was an alternative to FEMA rates that City would be able to base the fee schedule off of. He asked for an explanation of why FEMA rates were used. Trena Larson, Director of Finance, explained the basis for the FEMA rates was that if the City were to develop its own equipment rates, and FEMA were to come in during a disaster, the City would have to utilize its lower rates. She stated the FEMA rates were calculated from research and analytics that include direct and indirect costs such as operating variables, annual use hours,maintenance and overhaul costs in addition to unit price information such as fuel price, labor rates and the cost of money. She explained FEMA's goal was to cover more than just the physical price of the police car; in owning a vehicle there were always charges outside of the initial purchase cost such as ongoing maintenance, fuel, tires and other items. She stated that was what FEMA had established their rates around. Council Member Palmeri questioned if the City had a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement with EAA. Ms. Larson stated the City did not have a PILOT agreement with EAA. Council Member Pech stated it was his understanding that there were opportunities for event organizers to reduce fees by taking alternative measures. He explained an example related to Sawdust Days would be moving locations to prevent tying up a park, or moving out of the boat landing area. He stated there were ways event organizers could work with City staff to minimize or mitigate costs. Ms. Larson explained there had been suggestions from the working group related to equipment in regards to thinking creatively and working in more of a partnership. She stated they had also discussed barricade rental and how it was not necessarily the City's role to act as a provider of barricades. She explained there were private businesses within the City that were geared towards that. She stated the City would like to see event 21 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 organizers partnering with more private sector businesses. She explained it was important to think creatively and utilize all the resources within the community. Council Member Herman stated it was his understanding that in order to help the special events, the City had built a four year incremental charge into the fees; it would not be a lump sum drastic increase. Mr. Maurer explained that was correct. He stated each year there would be a 25% increase, and after four years the fee schedule would be fully in effect. He explained this way event organizers would be able to plan and budget for future events. Council Member Herman stated there had been a question from an event holder regarding the salary of an officer. He requested an explanation of the compensation of police officers. Dean Smith, Chief of Police, stated that Ms. Larson would be best suited to answer that question. Council Member Herman stated he was asking for an average salary for a police officer. He explained it was included in the data provided to Council and asked if it was a correct representation. Ms. Larson stated it was correct. She explained the City had used methodology that had been modified as a result of the working group meetings, which included the hourly wage,benefits and comp time that police, fire and other department employees received. She stated there had been a modification as a result of the working group; the City had traditionally charged health insurance in the regular rate as well as the overtime/doubletime rate. She explained it had been brought up by a working group member that the health insurance rate did not increase if an individual worked more hours, therefore the current methodology that was proposed did not include health insurance costs for overtime/doubletime rates. Council Member Pech thanked the members of the working group and City staff for the time and effort they put in. He explained as a special events organizer, he did appreciate the services the City provided that allowed his organization to hold a safe event and contribute to the community. He stated budgets would need to be adjusted to accommodate the additional costs as it was a necessary part of keeping the event safe for the participants and the community. He explained he appreciated that the fee schedule was well thought out and contained verifiable data. 22 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 Council Member Palmeri stated Council had heard from many of the event organizers that they wanted more time prior to new fees being initiated because it was too much to absorb the entire increase at once. She explained she believed having 4 years to budget for the increases was more than fair and therefore she supported the fee schedule. Council Member Herman stated he believed there was a misunderstanding amongst special event organizers that the City did not want to have special events in the community or appreciate the economic impact that they have. He explained he disagreed; he recognized how the events benefited the hotels, restaurants, convenience stores and other retailers. He stated despite the benefit, there was a cost to having a police/fire departments, paramedics, auxiliary officers and community service officers. He explained they were services the event needed to keep the attendees and the community safe. He stated the City appreciated events, they needed to cover the costs of the City staff that supported them. He thanked the working group for their input. COUNCIL DISCUSSION, DIRECTION TO CITY MANAGER &FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Mayor Cummings reminded Council of the budget workshops on October 301h and 31s' from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. CITIZEN STATEMENTS TO COUNCIL There were no citizen statements to Council. CO UNCIL MEMBER ANNO UNCEMENTS & STATEMENTS There were no Council Member Announcements or statements. CITY MANAGER ANNO UNCEMENT AND STATEMENT Mr. Rohloff stated there were two new recognized neighborhood associations in the Sacred Heart and Congress Field neighborhoods. He explained related to the arena, the public improvements were going well aside from the railroad crossing at 141h Avenue. He stated Canadian National Railroad had not been very responsive. He explained he had brought it to the attention of Congressman Grothman as he believed the City may need to get federal intervention as they had experienced such a poor response from the railroad. He explained City staff was not concerned with the water loop, however, the 23 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 storm water piece needed to be addressed. He stated there were larger storm sewers leading to the sewer under the track, and if it was not resolved, could result in flooding. James Rabe, Director of Public Works, explained they had done extensive modeling for that area and there was a significant need to upgrade the storm sewers. He stated an old, corrugated metal pipe that had been installed in the 1950s had recently failed. He explained the Canadian National design team and engineering group had been less than cooperative and had been imposing additional permits primarily due to the fact that there had been a derailment in Illinois due to a boring contractor. He stated due to the actions of that contractor, the railroad was reacting very strongly and imposing significant changes that he believed would cause more problems than they were correcting. Council Member Panske questioned if there were any assistance Council would be able to provide in relation to the railroad. Mr. Rohloff explained there was no formal action that would need to be taken. He stated the best approach in dealing with the railroad was to get to the federal level as they were federally regulated. He explained he believed it would be appropriate to contact the offices of the area representatives and let them know that the City was not receiving cooperation. Council Member Panske questioned if that was something Council should take action on. Mr. Rohloff stated he would reach out, and encouraged Council to do the same. He explained additional contact never hurt. Ms. Lorenson stated her office had been assisting engineering with pushing the project forward. Mr. Rabe indicated that the City Attorney's office had been extensively involved and had been a great asset to his team. Council Member Palmeri questioned from a liability standpoint, what would happen if they did not get the agreement with the railroad and there was a flood, due to the connection not being the right size. Ms. Lorenson stated she would prefer not to answer the question in open session. Council Member Palmeri questioned how long they had been working with the railroad on the concern. 24 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 Mr. Rabe stated it had been at least three or four months. Mr. Rohloff explained draft TIF materials had been provided to Council, which included a process timeline to give an idea of how the process would work. He stated City staff had provided the application scoring criteria for the three different types of TIFs as well as a table on development agreements. Mr. Davis explained City staff would continue developing the process throughout October and would be bringing it before Council in November. He encouraged any Council Members with questions or suggestions to work with City staff. He stated the professional service agreement with AECOM was in preparation for 2018 capital improvements, and they had conducted similar geotechnical testing for the City in the past. He explained at a public input session, the question of the cost of Houseal & Lavigne's services related to the preparation of concept plans for Lakeshore Municipal Golf Course. He stated it was estimated at approximately$45,000. Council Member Herman stated he hoped City staff stressed to AECOM the importance of providing accurate information to City engineers. He explained there had been a number of change orders due to items that were found after the fact. He stated related to the golf course, that the decision was open and not etched in stone, however, Houseal & Lavigne had only been asked to complete the two concept plans and a 3D version. He explained that appeared as though the decision had been made. Mr. Rohloff stated the idea behind doing a conceptual plan was to receive feedback and share information. Council Member Herman explained he understood that, although City staff was putting a proposal together, and that was part of the proposal. Mr. Rohloff stated the conceptual plans were geared towards public information and not for Oshkosh Corporation. He explained there were additional details that would be discussed in closed session related to negotiations with Oshkosh Corporation. Council Member Palmeri stated there had been issues with Houseal & Lavigne on other projects, and she was surprised that City staff had decided to utilize their services for this project. She explained she agreed with Council Member Herman in regards to the change orders. She stated she believed there had been a number of errors that resulted in additional costs. She questioned if the investment in services with AECOM was solid, as the City was depending on the company. 25 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 Mr. Rohloff stated he believed it may be appropriate for Council to have a work session on how the change order process worked. He explained to get close to 100% accuracy, it could cost upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars. He stated a workshop may help alleviate some concerns. He explained there were some projects that had come in significantly under budget in 2017. He stated the unexpected changes were not due to bad engineering, they were due to bad soil. He explained unless a road was completely dug up prior to construction, there would always be an element of'guesswork . Council Member Palmeri stated there had been recent facilities analysis completed on City buildings. She explained it was her understanding that the City was contracting with AECOM to completed a similar assessment on a different type of facility. Mr. Rohloff stated that was correct. Council Member Palmeri stated she would expect that the analysis be more solidified, given the cost. Mr. Rabe explained one of the challenges with the environmental records review was that there was sometimes limited information in the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) database. He stated they did work with geotechnical drilling companies to test materials ahead of time, although there were times in which the data does not reveal everything and wrong estimates were made. He explained they had consultants who had owned their mistakes and paid for a portion of the cost. He stated AECOM had done so in the past. He explained when there was a professional error, the City would recover the cost. He stated when an error occurred because there was a lack of data, there was not any action that could be taken. He explained anytime the ground was opened, there was the possibility of something that was not anticipated, and City staff did the best they could to minimize that potential. Council Member Pech stated AECOM had a code of conduct and a code of ethics that should be upheld. He explained while cost overruns were concerning, he understood that there would always be unknowns. Tim Franz,Fire Chief,explained it was fire prevention week and his department had been out canvassing the neighborhoods and reminded the community to check their smoke detectors. Council Member Pech stated he had noticed signs regarding speeding on Jackson Street between Murdock Avenue and New York Avenue. 26 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 10, 2017 Dean Smith, Chief of Police, explained he had met with residents in the neighborhood where the signs were posted. He stated residents had also appeared before traffic review board to discuss utilizing grant money to purchase a radar sign that displays the speed limit and the speed of the approaching vehicles to call attention to the speed limit. He explained his department was also doing enforcement efforts in the area. Council Member Pech stated he drove that stretch of road daily and he agreed speeding was a concern. Council Member Palmeri questioned if the equipment that the Historic Jackson Street Neighborhood Association would purchase with the grant money would be used solely in that neighborhood or if it would be shared. Chief Smith stated it would be mounted on a pole and remain in place. He explained the police department did have a sign board that could be moved to various places. Council Member Herman commended the police department's task force for their great success in their first year. 27 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL- OCTOBER 10, 2017 MOTION: THE COUNCIL MAY CONVENE INTO CLOSED SESSION PURSUANT TO SECTION 19.85(1)(E) OF THE WISCONSIN STATE STATUTES TO DISCUSS BARGAINING OPTIONS, STRATEGY, PARAMETERS AND TERMS RELATED TO THE NEGOTIATION OF POSSIBLE AGREEMENT FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF LAKESHORE MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE, WHERE COMPETITIVE BARGAINING REASONS REQUIRED A CLOSED SESSION AND PURSUANT TO SECTION 19.85(1)(C) OF THE WISCONSIN STATE STATUTES TO DISCUSS THE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND COMPENSATION REGARDING THE CITY MANAGER AN EMPLOYEE OVER WHICH THE COMMON COUNCIL HAS JURISDICTION AND EXERCISES RESPONSIBILITY (Herman; second, Pech).

He stated in its present condition the golf course was not a park as it was off-limits to a significant amount of people who did not play golf, and no trespassing signs indicated entry was not permissible unless green-fees were paid. He explained retaining Oshkosh Corporation was vital to the community and would have significant economic impact. He urged Council to do all they could to keep Oshkosh Corporation's headquarters in the City. Diane Penzenstadler, 1123 Buchanan Avenue, stated as a golfer she understood there were a number of courses located in the area, which was one of the reasons she was in support of selling a portion of Lakeshore Municipal Golf Course. She explained while she loved golf, she believed it was more important to focus on the greater good of the community through keeping Oshkosh Corporation's headquarters in the City. She stated she was aware of the negative impacts that occur when a big corporation leaves and was concerned about what would happen should Oshkosh Corporation leave. She explained she understood there were some in the community who were opposed to the sale of the golf course, she believed there was a larger group who was excited about opening up the area for more public use. She stated there were numerous benefits to selling the course, including additional jobs, a positive impact on the housing market and more green space. She explained the community had elected Council to make these types of decisions and a referendum was not necessary. She urged Council to make a decision in the best interest of the entire community by working hard to keep Oshkosh Corporation. Colleen Stadler, 1736 Sanders Street, stated she had received a violation for having brush in her yard. She explained although she would pay the fine, she would like Ordinance 17-36B changed, as citizens were not notified and did not have an opportunity to correct prior to receiving a fine. She stated her neighborhood was being targeted by a disgruntled former City employee. She questioned what course of action she should take to get the ordinance changed. She stated she believed the citizens should receive notification and have an opportunity to correct when they were in violation of an ordinance, as many were not aware of each ordinance. Council Member Panske questioned if that would be something Ms. Lorenson would review. Ms. Lorenson explained it was a policy decision up to Council, and if Council provided direction she would review the ordinance. Mayor Cummings stated he believed it should be reviewed. 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 24, 2017 Council Member Herman explained she had not received a fine; the $20 charge was an administrative fee that was requested by City staff due to the time it takes when a citizen files a complaint or City staff notices a concern. He stated City staff needed to go to the site and take pictures as well as draft the letter informing the citizen of the violation. He explained she had not received a citation, which would have been approximately $150. He stated the $20 covered the time that City staff took to investigate the complaint. He explained while he agreed the ordinance could be reviewed, she had received a warning. Ms. Stadler stated she would like the ordinance changed to provide notice to citizens without a fee. She explained there was a member of her neighborhood that used to work for the City and was familiar with the ordinances who liked to target neighbors. Council Member Herman stated they would review the ordinance. Council Member Allison-Aasby apologized for not responding to Ms. Stadler's original email as it had been missed due to receiving a high volume of emails regarding other current City hot topics. Ms. Stadler explained she had been looking for direction and knew for the future not to include all of Council on emails. Council Member Allison-Aasby stated she was able to do so. Council Member Panske explained she believed Ms. Stadler had been provided a copy of the municipal code and an appeals form that would allow her to appeal the service fee. Ms. Stadler stated she had received a section of the code and was not sure how to complete the form. Council Member Panske questioned if she had someone in City Hall that she was working with. Ms. Stadler stated John Zarate, Chief Building Official, had been providing assistance to her through email. She explained she had asked for a copy of the procedure for complaints, and had been told it was up to the discretion of the inspectors. She stated she believed there should be a procedure. Mr. Rohloff stated Allen Davis,Director of Community Development,would be available to have a discussion with Ms. Stadler after the meeting regarding the administrative 3 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 24, 2017 portion of the concern. He explained Council would be able to review the ordinance from a policy perspective. Tom Castle, 2247 Ryff Road, stated he was present to discuss the City's relationship with the community. He explained Oshkosh Corporation was one of the City's customers, as was each of the citizens and businesses. He stated Oshkosh Corporation was seeking a piece of property and while he understood how emotional the topic was for many people it was ultimately an economic decision. He encouraged Council to explore each opportunity to give Oshkosh Corporation what they need to stay in the community. Clyde Williams, 619 W. 111h Avenue, stated he had received a code violation and had been receiving them for multiple reasons recently. He explained last year he spent $4,000 for a new gutter system for his house and a City inspector had noted that the drain by the front of the house was not correct. He stated because he had not corrected the drain fast enough he received a$50 fine. He explained he had been trying to sell a couple boats and had received a citation due to the boats not being stored in a correct location on his property. He stated his driveway was gravel and he had been parking his vehicles on the space. He explained he had been told because the gravel was not zoned as his driveway he was unable to park there. He explained the zoning department had informed him he would be unable to do so because of the gravel, it would need to be black top or concrete. He stated he had been told the gravel was not allowed as it may get into the street. He explained there were a number of dump trucks that travelled his road, leaving debris, and did not believe his small amount of gravel would cause a problem. He requested the City consider zoning his driveway without the black top or concrete being completed as he lived on a limited income. Mr. Rohloff recommended Mr. Williams contact Todd Muehrer, the City's zoning administrator. Mr. Williams stated he had contacted Mr. Meuhrer and had been told he needed to install black top or concrete in order to have it zoned as a driveway. He explained his driveway had been in its present condition for 20 years and had not caused any problems. He stated he did not have extra income to spend on replacing the gravel or the fines he continued to receive for moving items around in his driveway. Mr. Rohloff stated Mr. Williams would also be able to contact Allen Davis, Director of Community Development, or his office to discuss what his options were. He explained zoning variances were not approved by Council; they were approved by the zoning board of appeals. 4 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 24, 2017 Council Member Herman explained the zoning code had been recently approved by Council. He stated if the code required Mr. Willaims to black top the gravel, that was likely the action he would need to take. Mr. Williams stated he already had a gravel driveway. Council Member Herman stated he understood that, however, code did not vary from house to house, it was community wide. He explained Mr. Williams was able to appear before the board of appeals to see if they would grant a variance. Mr. Williams stated he believed the driveway should be 'grandfathered' in as it existed prior to the code updates. Council Member Herman stated that would be a request he would have to make to the board of appeals as City staff was required to follow the code. Mayor Cummings suggested Mr. Williams speak with Mr. Davis as it was not an issue that Council would be able to resolve. Mr. Williams stated he believed Oshkosh was headed in the right direction and appreciated all the improvements that had been done throughout the City. John Casper, 120 Jackson Street, explained he was present to speak on behalf of the Oshkosh Chamber, a business association that represented approximately 1,000 members in Oshkosh. He stated the chamber strongly supported the proposal that would retain Oshkosh Corporation in the community, as the City was fortunate to be home to a Fortune 500 company. He explained they were an economic engine for the community that provided good paying jobs, a business base for a significant local supply chain and brought global distinction to the region. He stated the City was competing with at least four other communities and consequently needed to be bold and competitive. He explained the loss of Oshkosh Corporation would be a blow that would be felt for decades. He stated Council needed to put forward an aggressive proposal to which Oshkosh Corporation could not say no, as now was the time for the community to work together to secure the future of the City. Stephanie Carlin, 2803 Stoney Beach Street, explained she had provided Council with a copy of a presentation that had been given to the members of the board of education. She stated the board of education would meet the following evening to vote on a resolution to support Oshkosh Corporation and the partnerships it has with the Oshkosh Area School District. She stated as an elected official, it was her job to do what was best for the 5 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 24, 2017 students, and keeping Oshkosh Corporation in the City was best. She explained Oshkosh Corporation supplied talented individuals to come to the classrooms to speak about careers in engineering and manufacturing. She stated they provided volunteers to assist students during STEM nights as well as serve as mentors for young engineers and allow them to participate in job shadow days. She explained the 'people first' culture of Oshkosh Corporation extended into the community. She stated the company also provided the school district with significant resources and funding. She explained the charitable donations from Oshkosh Corporation directly impacted students. She stated much of what the company did for the community went unnoticed, largely due to their modest corporate culture. She implored the Council to invest in Oshkosh Corporation by providing them a world-class headquarters site. She stated the children, the community and the future of Oshkosh would benefit. Ken Arneson, 1230 Welshhaven Drive, stated he was the president of Evergreen Retirement Community as well as a partner in a small business in Oshkosh. He explained it was not correct to believe that a corporation would stay simply due to a name or history. He stated Fond du Lac had nearly lost Mercury Marine. He explained the City was not in a position to have an organization such as Oshkosh Corporation leave the community. He stated the decision made by Council would affect many other businesses. He explained the project had the potential to spur significant growth in an area that had been deteriorating. He stated he appreciated Council taking the time to listen to different viewpoints, however, he believed it was now time for Council to take action and make a competitive offer that no other community would match. He explained in making such an offer, it would also extend a message to other organizations and citizens that Council was committed to both the present state of the community and a long term prosperity. Mark Lasky, 3190 Old Orchard Lane, stated he had grown up in Oshkosh and after returning as an adult was excited to see the progress the City had made. He believed one of the biggest disadvantages in Oshkosh was that the community suffered from low self- esteem. He stated the City had a lot to offer including the state's third largest university, a Fortune 500 company as well as beautiful waterways. He explained he had personal experience with the Oshkosh Corporation executives and had witnessed their dedication to the community. He stated he believed Oshkosh Corporation wanted to be here, and the City needed to make sure they remained here. He explained he believed the City needed to grant the corporation the land, provide them the infrastructure and create a TIF as part of the proposal if necessary. He stated the community would benefit. Bill Wyman, 1372 Waugoo Avenue, stated the opportunity to host the headquarters of a Fortune 500 company was not one the City could miss. He explained Council was faced 6 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 24, 2017 with an important decision and would need to take risks to achieve goals. He requested Council do everything possible to retain Oshkosh Corporation. CONSENT AGENDA Report of Bills by the Finance Director Receipt & Filing of Common Council Minutes from September 26, 2017 Receipt & Filing of Oshkosh Public Museum Board Minutes from September 7, 2017 Receipt of Claims filed with the City's Insurance Company: A) Susan Vander Grinten for alleged damages due to a fall on a City street Resolution 17-505 Approve Amendment #1 to Professional Service Agreement with AECOM for Construction & Environmental Oversight; Jeld-Wen Riverwalk West of Oregon Street ($164,250.00) Mayor Cummings asked for the explanation of the word 'oversight' in relation to the resolution. Mr. Rabe explained the term 'oversight' was used to describe watching over the construction contractor. He stated AECOM would function as the City's agent to make sure that the work that the contractor performed was in compliance with the specifications and plans. He explained the City did not have adequate staff to supervise the construction and completion of the project. Mayor Cummings stated he understood they would act as a project manager. He requested the word not be used in the future and additional descriptions be provided to explain what was happening. Mr. Rabe indicated he had worked with AECOM and requested they revise their verbiage. Council Member Herman stated he had noticed that the City had been using AECOM for a number of projects. He questioned when the City last bid out to companies who provided similar types of services. Mr. Rabe stated he was not certain. 7 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 24, 2017 Council Member Herman stated the reason he had brought it up was several Council Members had attended a conference for the Wisconsin League of Municipalities, and there were at least 5 similar companies present. He explained he believed it was time to do a competitive bid or put together a request for proposal. Resolution 17-506 Approve Revised Conditions of Specific Implementation Plan for a Vehicle Charging Station at 2415 Westowne Avenue (Plan Commission Recommends Approval) Resolution 17-507 Approve Conditional Use Permit to Establish an Outdoor Storage Use at 1850 W. Fernau Avenue (Plan Commission Recommends Approval) Resolution 17-508 Approve Conditional Use Permit for a Freight Terminal Development at 3010 Bradley Street (Plan Commission Recommends Approval) Council Member Herman questioned if there had been any City staff discussion about moving Bradley Street up in the CIP. He stated he was concerned that if the street was already in poor condition that the additional semi traffic may exacerbate conditions. Mr. Rabe stated he would need to work with City staff to evaluate the needs of the street. He stated there may be project funding that could be allocated. Council Member Herman stated they had heard from several community members how important businesses were to the community, and the transport company was a new business that would benefit from roads that could support their load. Resolution 17-509 Approve Phase II of 2017 Great Neighborhoods Capital Improvement Program Funding in the Amount of$7,000.00 Carmella Uptagraft, 75 Farmstead Lane, stated she was part of the North Park Neighborhood Association, which had been in existence for approximately a year. She explained they had embraced the idea of greater neighborhoods and had taken advantage of everything the City had to offer to improve the neighborhood. She stated they were utilizing grant funds to add landscaping to the median entrance that the neighbors would maintain, as well as blacktopping a section of path that leads from the neighborhood to the County Park. 8 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 24, 2017 Council Member Herman questioned if Winnebago County had been made aware that if approved by Council, the path leading to the park would be black topped. Steven Wiley, Assistant Planner, stated they had been in contact with County Park staff, who approved of the project. Council Member Herman stated he had several citizens question how neighborhoods were notified that a neighborhood association had been formed.

Council Member Herman stated he supported these types of projects and believe the work that planning and the neighborhood associations had done improved the quality of the neighborhoods.

Council Member Herman presented a slide that illustrated the locations where public fishing was prohibited along the river walk. He explained the section had never been open to public fishing and the owners of the Morgan District had requested to retain the right of no fishing in the location so future developments would not be impacted. He stated the parks board was in favor of the ordinance. Council Member Panske questioned if it was an item that could be changed in the future if the land use agreements were to change. Council Member Herman stated that it could.

He stated there were several ways the City funded the projects and the plan gave the neighborhood a vision to work towards. Resolution 17-529 Approve Amendment to Tax Incremental District No. 31 Development Agreement & Ground Lease Agreement with Fox Valley Pro Basketball, Inc. MOTION: ADOPT (Pech; second, Krause) CARRIED: Ayes (5) Panske, Krause, Pech, Herman, Mayor Cummings Present (1) Allison-Aasby Greg Pierce, 115 Westwind Drive, Neenah, explained when they had first started the arena project, it was clear that it could not happen without City involvement. He stated the TIF had made it possible to remediate and build on the former Buckstaff property. He explained the amendment would change the language to allow for a special assessment and reduced the timeframe it would take to pay back the TIF. He stated the interest savings in reducing the timeframe by 7 years was substantial. Council Member Pech stated he believed Mr. Pierce explained the amendment well and asked if Mr. Rohloff had anything to add. 12 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 24, 2017 Mr. Rohloff explained the timeline on the project had been tight. He stated through the TIF, the City was assisting the developers in bringing the property up to the standard of other properties elsewhere in the City. He explained the TIF did not fund any portion of the building, it assisted in getting the property to a buildable state. He stated without the TIF funds, the developer would have extraordinary costs that would make the project cost prohibitive. Council Member Pech asked Mr. Rohloff to clarify that the City was not paying for the building. Mr. Rohloff stated there had been talk in the community that the City was paying for the arena building which was not the case. He explained due to the short timeframe of the project, the initial numbers had been fluid. Council Member Pech stated he understood the naming rights that were recently announced helped with the cost of the arena building, not with the cost of the infrastructure. Mr. Rohloff explained naming rights were typically used to help with operational costs. Council Member Pech stated he had been questioned on why the arena would need additional funding after they had signed the naming rights agreement. Mr. Pierce explained an arena was paid for by marketing and selling space; the naming rights was only one component to be used for operational costs and selling advertising. Council Member Allison-Aasby stated she would vote present as she had a business relationship with the president of Fox Valley Professional Basketball. Council Member Herman questioned what some of the items were that had added additional costs to the project. Mr. Rabe stated he was not aware of the site conditions and therefore unsure of what those items were. Council Member Herman questioned if there was a member of City staff that could provide that answer. He stated he would like the citizens to know what had been found that resulted in the change to the TIF. 13 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 24, 2017 Allen Davis, Director of Community Development, explained there was poor soil in the area and despite soil testing it was impossible to know the exact condition of the ground until digging began. Council Member Herman questioned if the size of the water main on 141h Avenue was related to the concern with the railroad. Mr. Rabe explained the water main was not an arena related cost, it was a water utility cost. Council Member Herman asked for an explanation of how the 'pay-go' TIF worked for the City and the developer. Mr. Rohloff stated with a'pay-go' the developer fronted the cost of the project instead of the City. He explained Fox Valley Professional Basketball was fronting the cost of everything on the site as well as a portion of public improvements. He stated as tax increment was generated, it would be used to pay off the money that had been fronted. He explained the City assumed much less risk. Council Member Herman stated Council had received numerous negative emails related to the arena project and wanted to make sure the public understood the details. He explained the arena would be an asset to the community. He stated he believed the Menominee Tribe would bring value to the community through the naming rights agreement and understood there would be a museum at the arena with their artifacts.

Steve Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works, explained the new lift station was intended to replace the small lift station that was located on the corner of Punhoqua Drive. He stated the need for the lift station had been driven by the Sawyer Creek dredging project. He explained a syphon had been installed after a dam was discovered within the Sawyer Creek water system, and it was not doing an adequate job of preventing backups. Council Member Herman questioned if the project would impact the potential future infrastructure of Oshkosh Corporation. Mr. Gohde stated he would anticipate that area would be drained via gravity to a sanitary sewer system at the intersection of Westfield Street and Oshkosh Avenue. Council Member Allison-Aasby clarified that the City was not building a $2.9 bathroom. COUNCIL DISCUSSION, DIRECTION TO CITY MANAGER &FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Mayor Cummings reminded Council of the budget workshops on October 301h and 31s' from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Mr. Rohloff explained City staff would be prepared to talk about their budget requests and any reductions Council requested. 15 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 24, 2017 Council Member Pech indicated he may be absent for a portion of the workshops due to his job. Mr. Rohloff explained Council had requested that a survey of City committee/board members, Council and City staff be completed to determine interest in the various options that had been presented to Council. He stated the results had been included in the Council packets. He explained there had been interest in consolidating the parking utility and the traffic review advisory boards. He stated there was also interest in folding the Grand Opera House advisory board into the landmarks commission. He explained he believed it would make sense to fold the equal housing opportunity commission into the rental housing committee. He stated the rental housing committee had generated a lot of interest in the community and there was ongoing activity, while the equal housing opportunity commission had not held a meeting in 15 years. He explained there had not been much interest in removing Council liaisons. He stated there had been positive response related to making the long range finance committee an ad-hoc committee, aside from Council's response. He explained in terms of changing membership criteria for local option committees by allowing non-resident participation, there had been moderate support. Council Member Herman asked what City staff would like from Council. Mr. Rohloff recommended the Council liaison bring the information back to their respective boards/commissions and gather input. Council Member Herman stated it would be beneficial to know how many times each group was not able to establish a quorum and when meetings were cancelled due to lack of subject matter. Mr. Rohloff stated that information had been part of the survey. Council Member Allison-Aasby stated she believed it was a good idea for Council liaisons to go back to their respective boards/commissions for further discussion. She explained while there were some members who had served for long periods of time because they enjoyed participating, there were others who served simply because they did not feel there was anyone else willing to do so. Mr. Rohloff explained he would direct City staff to put the topic on the various board/commission agendas. He stated he believed Council should lead the discussions as it was a policy issue. He requested Council provide him with feedback after the 16 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 24, 2017 discussions, and they would then determine how to move forward. He stated what had been done traditionally was that the group started large, and as terms ended, those individuals were not replaced. CITIZEN STATEMENTS TO COUNCIL There were no citizen statements. CO UNCIL MEMBER ANNO UNCEMENTS & STATEMENTS There were no Council Member announcements or statements. CITY MANAGER ANNO UNCEMENT AND STATEMENT Mr. Rohloff stated the outstanding issue with the arena project was dealing with the railroad. He explained he had reached out to Congressman Grothman's office as well as Senator Johnson's office to request assistance. He stated the while the water main component was not urgent, the storm sewer concern was. He explained that weather permitting, most of the areas surrounding the arena would be complete; it was the area near 141h Avenue that was delayed. Mr. Rabe stated he had been informed that City staff felt confident that the public infrastructure would be completed on time in the immediate vicinity of the arena. Council Member Pech questioned what the response had been from the representatives Mr. Rohloff had reached out to. Mr. Rohloff explained the response had been positive and they wanted to help. He stated he did not believe they could force the railroad into action, however, he believed they would be able to have an influence. Mr. Rabe stated he had a discussion with a representative from Congressman Grothman's office and learned that they had met with the Canadian National staff in Washington to address concerns. Council Member Pech asked for an explanation of the news coverage on the issue. 17 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— OCTOBER 24, 2017 Mr. Rabe stated a reporter from a Green Bay news station had reached out to the City Manager's office and had later visited City Hall to ask questions. Council Member Herman explained at the Wisconsin League of Municipalities conference there had been a break out session regarding railroads, and the session had been full; numerous municipalities were having issues, specifically with Canadian National Railroad. He stated it had been brought to his attention that the railroad did not like when resolutions were drafted, as it pushed them towards action. He explained he believed Council should draft a resolution asking the railroad to work with the public works department to complete the project. He stated he believed flooding was the primary concern. Mr. Rohloff stated he would discuss preparing a resolution with City staff. Council Member Pech questioned if the potential flooding could impact the railroad's crossing. Mr. Rabe stated yes; he explained although City staff had brought that to their attention, the response from the railroad had not improved. Mr. Rohloff stated the City had worked with Wisconsin and Southern Railroad for the transload site and they had been cooperative. He explained the collection office had historically opened at 7:30 a.m. to accommodate building inspections, however, payments could now be made in the inspections office via credit card and the number of individuals using the collections office between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. was low. He stated the collection office hours would be changed to 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,which would allow for better coverage during the day, beginning Monday, October 301H MOTION: THE COUNCIL MAY CONVENE INTO CLOSED SESSION PURSUANT TO SECTION 19.85(1)(E) OF THE WISCONSIN STATE STATUTES TO DISCUSS BARGAINING OPTIONS, STRATEGY, PARAMETERS AND TERMS RELATED TO THE NEGOTIATION OF POSSIBLE AGREEMENT FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF LAKESHORE MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE, WHERE COMPETITIVE BARGAINING REASONS REQUIRED A CLOSED SESSION (Herman; second, Pech).

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. City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O.

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.

She stated that they have bollards on the front of the building extending into the parking lot and the perimeter parking is also limited.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services DATE: November 9, 2017 RE: Approve Specific Implementation Plan Amendment for Mixed -Use Arena/Event Complex; 1212 South Main Street (Plan Commission recommends approval) BACKGROUND On January 24, 2017, the Common Council approved a Planned Development for redevelopment of the former Buckstaff Company site, which included construction of a proposed 3,500 seat mixed-use arena/event complex. The arena will also house a 157 seat sports bar and team store open to the public on non-event days. Since then, the applicants have decided to make revisions to the building facade, parking layout, lighting, refuse enclosures, signage and add a public plaza. On August 15th, 2017, the petitioner submitted an application for an amendment to the Planned Development which included changes in the facade, signage, parking lot, pedestrian access, and lighting that was approved by the Common Council on August 22nd, 2017. The applicants are now requesting additional changes related to signage at the site that is currently in excess of numbers and area allowed by the Zoning Ordinance and are requesting base standard modifications to place the additional signage per the attached staff report. ANALYSIS No changes are proposed to the previously approved use or the lighting, landscaping, storm water management or building plans however revised signage plans have been submitted. The revision includes the remaining wall signs and a free standing monument sign which includes a 56 square foot electronic message sign (EMC). A base standard modification (BSM) was previously approved to increase the "amount of free standing signage and a new BSM will be required to be granted to allow for the revised monument sign as well as the additional EMC and wall signage. An additional BSM is also required to allow the EMC to exceed the maximum allowed square footage for EMCs. Staff does have concerns with the proposed monument sign and its impact on the traffic signals for the intersection of S. Main Street and South Park Avenue and are proposing conditions related to the frequency and types of message display as well as City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1 130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us the sign location. Additional wall signage has been proposed for all facades for the team entrances, the restaurant and other specific entrances. The new proposal will require BSM's to exceed the maximum allowed for wall signage for the west facade and the free standing signage in addition to allowing two EMC's and for one to exceed the maximum allowed for square footage. FISCAL IMPACT There will be no fiscal impact by adding the additional signage as requested and the additional signage may actually add a small amount of additional property tax value to the property. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission recommended approval of the specific implementation plan and planned development amendment with conditions at its November 7, 2017 meeting. Res ctfully Submitted, 1 / / � Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services Approved: Mark A. Rohloff City Manager City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O.

Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 30-442 establishes criteria for right-of-way dedications. Background Information Property Location and Type: 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. Since then, the applicants have decided to make revisions to the building fagade, parking layout, Iighting, refuse enclosures, signage and add a public plaza. On August 15th, 2017, the petitioner submitted an application for an amendment to the Planned Development which included changes in the facade, signage, parking lot, pedestrian access, and lighting. This amendment was approved by the Common Council on August 22nd, 2017. The approximate 8.05 acre development area includes the former location of the Buckstaff Company located along South Main. Street between East South Park Avenue and East 111h Avenue. The surrounding area contains a mix of industrial, commercial and residential uses including Alro Steel and Kalmerton Welding Supplies to the north, Railroad right-of-way and Pioneer Marina to the east, Davis Painting to the south, and commercial and residential uses to the west across South Main Street. 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 1411 Avenue on the south and South Main Street on the west. Subject Site Existin Land Use Zoning Vacant Industrial (former Buckstaff Company) CMU -PD Adjacent Land Use and Zoning Existing uses Zonin North Industrial (Acro Steel & Kalmerton Weldin Su I) HI South Industrial (Davis Painting & Railroad Right -of -Way) HI East Railroad Right -of -Way HI West Commercial & Residential CMU -PD Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Use 10 Year Land Use Recommendation Mixed -Use Downtown 20 Year Land Use Recommendation Mixed -Use Downtown ANALYSIS Use The petitioner was previously approved for development of a 3,500 seat mixed-use arena/event complex on the subject site which will also house a 157 seat sports bar and team store open to the public on non-event days. The proposed use is consistent with the City's 2005-2025 Comprehensive Land Use Plan, as the area is identified as appropriate for mixed-use downtown development due to the subject site's proximity to the central city. Additionally, the proposed use is permitted within the underlying CMU Central Mixed -Use Zoning District. Approval of the proposed development plan will meet the requirements of the Planned Development Overlay District and is intended to satisfy the requirements of the General and Specific Implementation Plan. The proposed arena is advantageous to the city as it will help to attract visitors to the community and support economic development and revitalization of this area. Per the applicant's narrative, the arena is primarily proposed to be used daily by the Milwaukee Bucks Gatorade League (G -League) team, the Oshkosh Herd staff and players. During events there would be between 30 and 40 staff members employed to service the venue. On game days there would be approximately 40 players, 6 coaches, and 4 game officials. During the off-season the facility may also be used for other events including concerts, other sports, and gatherings. No changes to the previously approved use. Site Design & Access/Parking No substantial changes are proposed to the site design, access, or parking. Lighting No substantial changes are proposed to the lighting plan. SiSi_ gnag A revised signage plan has been submitted. The revision includes the remaining wall signs and a free standing monument sign. The proposed monument sign is 15' high and totals 180 sq. ft., including a 56 sq. ft. EMC. Several base standard modifications will be required to allow the proposed monument sign. Central Mixed Use (CMU) allows a maximum of 100 sq, ft, of free ITEM- Mired Use Arena/Event Complex —1212 S. Main St standing signage. The August 2017 Planned Development amendment included a base standard modification to increase that allotment to 128 sq. ft. With the inclusion of the revised monument sign, a new base standard modification will need to be approved for a total of 308 sq. ft. of free standing signage. Two other base standard modifications will also be required to allow the additional EMC. The zoning ordinance allows a maximum of one EMC per development and the August 2017 Planned Development amendment include the approval of a 700 sq. ft. video message display. An additional base standard modification will also be required to allow the monument sign EMC to exceed the maximum allowed 50 sq. ft. for EMCs. City staff does have concerns with the proposed monument sign and its impact on the traffic signals for the intersection of South Main Street and South Park Avenue. The staff is proposing two additional conditions be placed on the monument sign to help alleviate those concerns. The first is related the frequency and types of messages display. The City of Oshkosh zoning ordinance does not allow any type of animation on EMC signage and does not permit messages to change more than once every 10 seconds. The second condition is related to the sign location and minimizing any conflict with the traffic control devices. Additional wall signage has also been proposed. The east fagade will contain 26.5 sq. ft. of sign area. This includes the two team entrances. A set of channel letters for the visiting team entrance and a Herd team logo entrance for the home team. The north fagade wall contains 225 sq. ft. of sign area. This is comprised of a 120.4 sq. ft. restaurant identification sign, 74 sq. ft. north fan entrance sign and 30 sq. ft. VIP fan entrance sign. The south faced contains 20 sq. ft, of sign area; this is comprised of four 3.4 sq. ft. staff entrance signs and a 5.6 sq. ft. fan entrance sign. Finally, the west facade contains 1580 sq. ft. of sign area. This is comprised of the previously approved 700 sq. ft. video message display, 702 sq. ft. painted "The Herd" logo,166 sq. ft. main wall identification sign, 5.6 sq. ft. fan entrance sign and a 4.5 sq. ft. ticket booth sign. The August 2107 Planned Development amendment included a base standard modification to increase the allowed signage from the 200 sq. ft. allowed to 700 sq. ft. With the inclusion of the additional west fagade wall signage a new base standard modification will need to be approved for a total of 1,580 sq. ft. of wall signage on the west facade. Landscaping No substantial changes are proposed to the landscaping plan. Stormwater Management No substantial changes are proposed to the stormwater management plan. BuiIdin No substantial changes are proposed to the building plans. Right -of -Way Dedication The City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority is requesting 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 sidewalk along the frontage 1TEM- Mired Use Arena/Event Complex --1212 S. Main St 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. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff believes the proposed Planned Development reflects the City's development and planning policies, enhances the appearance of the area and is architecturally compatible with nearby and adjacent structures lending to a positive contribution to the physical appearance of land uses and buildings in the community. The proposed development, with conditions, will meet the standards as set forth in Section 30- 387: Planned Developments. Staff recommends approval of the Development Plan and right-of- way dedication as proposed with the following conditions: 1.

The Plan Commission approved an amendment to the Specific Implementation Plan approval for a mixed-use arena/event complex as requested with conditions noted. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item. 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 ITEM M yed Use Arena/Event Complex —1212 S. Main St renderings of the building depicting the areas for the additional signage. She further discussed the different signage being added to the west fagade 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. 111hAvenue 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. 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. ITEM Mired Use Arena/Event Complex —1212 S Main St 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.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services DATE: November 9, 2017 RE: Approve Specific Implementation Plan for a Dog Daycare and Overnight Boarding at 3792 Jackson Street (Plan Commission recommends approval) BACKGROUND The subject site consists of an approximate 1.44 acre parcel located on the east side of Jackson Street, approximately 250' north of Snell Road and has a zoning designation of SMU-PD Suburban Mixed Use with a Plan Development Overlay. The property contains a 32' x 70' pole building, a 42' x 38' garage and existing two-story single family home. The property was most recently used for manufacturing / light industrial with a non -conforming residential structure. The subject area is currently zoned SMU-PD Suburban Mixed -Use District with a Planned Development Overlay. The surrounding area has gas stations to the south and west, a vacant parcel to the north and multi -family uses to the east. The 10 and 20 Year Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends commercial use for the subject site as well as the area along Jackson Street. On September 26, 2017, Common Council approved a Conditional Use Permit and General Development Plan for the proposed use with conditions. ANALYSIS The petitioner is proposing to renovate the commercial storage structure into the ,primary building for a dog daycare facility with retail area, indoor daycare play area and grooming area with the garage structure renovated for kennels or storage as part of a future phase. The facility will require 3-5 employees with a maximum of 40 dogs per day and 30 dogs per night for overnight boarding. The existing single family home will be removed and eight parking spaces will be added as well as a pea gravel outdoor play area enclosed by a 6' chain link fence and wood fencing along the east property line. Access to the site will be provided by a single driveway along Jackson Street with the other existing driveway access to the site to be removed. Proposed signage includes a wall sign on the primary commercial building and a double sided monument sign along Jackson Street. Landscaping plans are required for parking screening and street frontage in addition to the existing shrubs and trees. Landscaping plans depict that requirements will not be met and will be addressed during the site plan review process. Storm City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1 130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us water management plans have been approved by the Department of Public Works pending final grading and paving plan approval. The refuse enclosure will be constructed of 6' tall wood fencing located at the southwest corner of the existing garage with landscaping along the south and west sides of the enclosure for screening purposes. FISCAL IMPACT As an infill redevelopment site no additional city services will be required to serve the site and the improvements proposed may eventually increase the overall value of the site. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission recommended approval of the specific implementation plan with conditions at its November 7, 2017 meeting. Resp tfully Submitted, Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services Approved: Mark A. Rohloff City Manager City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O.

Background Information Property Location and Type: The subject site consists of an approximate 1.44 acre parcel located on the east side of Jackson Street, approximately 250' north of Snell Road and has a zoning designation of SMU-PD Suburban Mixed Use with a Plan Development Overlay. The property contains a 32' x 70' pole building, a 42' x 38' garage and existing two-story single family home. The property was most recently used for manufacturing / light industrial with a non -conforming residential structure.

The petitioner will be removing the existing single family structure. The petitioner is proposing to renovate the existing 2240 sq. ft. commercial building into the primary building for the daycare. It would house a small retail area, indoor daycare play area and grooming area. The existing 2 stall garage may be renovated for kennels or storage as part of a future phase. The daycare and lodging will require 3-5 employees with an additional employee for grooming. Per CUP conditions, the daycare facility will have a maximum of 40 dogs per day and 30 dogs per night for overnight boarding. The proposed hours of operation are 6am-6pm Monday thru Friday, 8am-5pm on Saturdays and 11am-4pm on Sundays. Site Design The site currently consists of three (3) structures. A single family home and associated 2 stall garage, as well as one commercial building. The applicant is proposing to renovate the commercial structure and garage. The applicant intends to remove the existing single family home, as required by the CUP/GDP approval. The applicant is proposing to add eight (8) hard surfaced parking spaces to accommodate the facility's parking needs. A 77' x 87 pea gravel outdoor play area is being proposed. That area would be enclosed by a 6' black chain link fence. The site plan also indicates an additional 115' of dog eared wood fencing would be added to the existing perimeter fence along the east property line. Access/Parking The existing driveways and parking area is currently gravel with two accesses; one 11 -foot wide driveway for the house leading to the detached garage and the second 35 -foot +/- located approximately 139 feet to the north serving the pole building. Per Department of Public Works request and CUP/GDP approval, the southernmost drive will be removed. The single commercial access will be 30' wide at the right-of-way with a 40' wide curb cut opening along Jackson St., which is the maximum width for a class II driveway. Commercial Animal Boarding / Daycare requires 1 parking space per every 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. The revised site plan shows eight parking stalls including one handicap space, to be accessed from a 24' wide drive aisle. The proposed plan would be code compliant. Item — SIP for 3764 Jackson St Signage The proposed signage for the site includes a 32 sq. ft. wall sign on the primary commercial building as well as a 6' tall, 24 sq. ft. double -sided monument sign along Jackson Street. The signage plan meets the SMU district standards for signage area. The updated site plan shows a 19' setback for the ground sign. However, the petitioner has agreed to meet the 25' front yard setback requirement for the sign and will be working with staff on approval of the sign placement. Landscaping The proposed landscaping plan includes a variety of existing shrubs and trees. The existing landscaping is disbursed along the north, south and east sides of the property. The applicant is not proposing the expansion of the existing buildings. Therefore, the only required landscaping will be for parking screening and street frontage. Additional landscaping will be required around the perimeter of the parking area as the required landscaping points for shrubs are not being met. Additional landscaping is also required along the street frontage as the point requirement for street frontages is not being met. This can be addressed during the Site Plan Review process. Stormwater Management A storm water management plan has been submitted and has been approved by the Department of Public Works, pending final grading and paving plan that is being prepared by the contractor. Building The applicants have submitted a plan for modification of the front fagade of the primary building. The existing overhead door will be removed and replaced with a 42" wide X 7' tall entry door along with a 4' X 6' window on either side of the door. Refuse Enclosure The proposed 10' X 10' refuse enclosure will be constructed of 6' tall dog-eared wood fencing and located on the south end of the paved area, at the southwest corner of the existing garage. Staff feels that the proposed placement of the enclosure is appropriate as the refuse created by the site will be stored a sufficient distance from the neighboring multi -family residential properties to the east. A base standard modification will be required as the refuse enclosure will be located between the building and public street. It is the staffs opinion that the addition of landscaping along the south and west side of the enclosure, in conjunction with the fence should provide adequate screening. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the Planned Development for a Specific Implementation Plan for a dog daycare with overnight dog boarding as proposed with following conditions: 1. Base standard modification to permit a refuse enclosure between the building and public street. 2. Additional landscaping be provided along the south and west sides of the refuse enclosure as approved by the Department of Community Development. Item — SIP for 3764 Jackson St The Plan Commission approved the Planned Development for a Specific Implementation Plan for a dog daycare with overnight dog boarding as proposed with conditions noted. The following is the Plan Commissions discussion on this item. Mr. Slusarek presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land use and zoning classifications in this area. He reviewed the site plan and discussed the parking, access points and proposed signage for the site and reviewed renderings of the signage. He discussed the landscaping plans which will require additional plantings along the street frontage and parking area to meet code requirements which will be addressed during the site plan review process. Storm water management plans will need to be approved by the Department of Public Works which will also be part of the site plan review process. He reviewed building elevations as the existing structure will be renovated and discussed the location of the dumpster enclosure and the materials that will be utilized for its construction. He also reviewed the conditions recommended for this request. There was no discussion on this item.

If, SACL Enterprises 3792 Jackson Street Oshkosh, Wi 54901 Submittal Requirements (From page 2 of the conditional use permit) • We are proposing to use the existing structures and area at 3792 Jackson Street (Oshkosh, WI) for a doggie daycare, lodging, grooming facility and retail space. The property is currently vacant and therefore has no current/existing use. There is a 32'x70' building on the property that we will be renovating to serve as our main retail, daycare, lodging and grooming facility. We plan to "re -face" the building to make it more visually appealing/welcoming to our customers and the community. There is a detached garage that will be remodeled in the future to serve as additional boarding/lodging space. The other structure on the property is a 2 -story home which will not be used. We will be removing the house within 2 to 4 years from date of occupancy per the City's request. Doggy daycare and lodging will require anywhere from 3-5 employees depending on the day and time of day, and grooming will require one additional employee. Our inside daycare area will comfortably accommodate 30-40 dogs per day. initially, we will have boarding/lodging facilities for approximately 20 dogs per day/night, and 10 cats per day/night. Down the road, once the detached garage is remodeled to add boarding/lodging space, we will be able to accommodate approximately 40 dogs per day/night. There will be no person(s) living on this property. The floor area of current existing structures equals approximately 8,000 square feet. Our outside play area will be roughly 74x89. The outside play area will be completely fenced in with a black chain linked fence. Hours of operation will be Monday -Friday 6am-6pm, Saturday Sam -spm and Sunday 11am-4pm. We will have an employee check on and let any boarding dogs out after business hours. Any dog waste will be immediately picked up and tended to as there will always be staffing with the dogs. Dog and cat waste will be disposed of properly and garbage will be emptied each night before close of business day. The outside pervious pea gravel will be flushed on a regular basis which will prevent any potential issues with odors. The building(s) where dogs and cats will be (whether it is for daycare or boarding) will be insulated and have a sound barrier which will help keep any potential noises from dogs/cats inside versus outside and possibly disrupting any neighbors. We also plan to attach an additional 115' of wood fencing to the current wood fence that runs along the east property line between our property and the apartment complexes. In addition to adding on and finishing the existing wood fence, we plan to replace the areas that are currently damaged and/or missing. Surrounding land: To the north is a large lot (over 2 acres). To the South there is a gas station. To the East there are apartment units. Our neighbors have been notified of our plans for this property and everyone we have spoke with is supportive. We plan to keep an open and positive relationship with all residents close to the property to assure a very positive and copacetic relationship with the community. To the West is Jackson Street. 6 The city of Oshkosh does not have a nice dog daycare, lodging and grooming facility on the north side of town. Neighbors and members of the community (and surrounding areas) are very excited that we plan to bring a business (such as ours) to the north side of town. When asking members of the community where they take their dogs for these services, most replied with "Omro" or "Neenah" because there is nothing closer to where they live and work. There will absolutely be traffic generated from this business and the range of services we will provide. Submitted documents: • Plat of Survey (Showing coordinates, dimensions, layout of property/buildings, measurements and scale. This was provided by Herbert Associates, Inc.) • Easement Diagram (this shows that the easement is with Wisconsin Bell as well as its location in regard to the property and buildings) • Arial print off of property showing existing buildings, water, sewer, etc. This was printed off and provided to us by the City of Oshkosh. • Computer rendering of the property showing: o High point and low point for water runoff o Parking Stalls o Easement location o Existing buildings with their dimensions o Detailed information on asphalt and parking stalls • Winnebago County GIS map of the parcel address. This was provided by Frueh Consulting Services, LLC. • Signage information. This includes the company who we are working with to design our signs as well as the general concept/design. We plan to install a sign on front of the daycare building which will be 4 feet tali by 8 feet wide. In addition to the sign on the front of the daycare building, we also plan on having a free-standing ground sign with landscaping and lighting around it. The free-standing sign will be approximately 20 feet in from the road and between the telephone pole and the north entry way. This sign will measure 4 feet tall by 6 feet wide, look the same as the sign on the front of the building and be printed on both sides as to ensure traffic from both directions can see the sign. • Proposed layout of the inside of the large building on the north side of the property. a We will be getting sewer and water to the large building on the north side of the property in the very near future. We recently got the "go ahead" from the city of Oshkosh for our plumber to start his exploratory procedures. His findings will determine how water and sewer will be brought into the large building.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Oshkosh that a general and specific implementation plan amendment for the planned development of a 37,500 square foot gravel vehicle storage area, per the attached, is hereby approved with the following conditions: 1) Approval of final storm water management plans by the Department of Public Works. 2) Fence will be increased to 8' solid fence and be in compliance with City Standards for outdoor storage. 3) Light pole will be reduced to 25' and be in compliance with City standards. 4) A cross access easement being provided for the common lot line with property located at 1981 W.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services DATE: November 9, 2017 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 Approved: Mark A. Rohloff City Manager City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us ITEM: APPROVAL OF A GENERAL DEVELOPMENT AND SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT FOR OUTDOOR VEHICLE STORAGE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3596 STEARNS DRIVE Plan Commission meeting of November 7, 2017 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant/Owner: Daniel Dowling Actions Requested: The applicant requests approval of a General Development and Specific Implementation Plan and Planned Development amendment for outdoor vehicle storage for property located at 3596 Stearns Drive. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The subject development located at the northeast corner of Stearns Drive and Omni Drive consists of an approximately 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 with 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. Subject Site Existing Land Use Zonin Contractor's yard & manufactured housing display UI -PD Adjacent Land Use and Zoning Existing Uses Zoning North Vacant warehouse & a tavern (Town of Oshkosh) UI -PD West US Highway 45 South Vacant land UI -PD East Vacant land UI -PD Comprehensive Plan Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Use 10 Year Land Use Recommendation Commercial 20 Year Land Use Recommendation Commercial 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. Item- GDP, SIP, PD Amendment - 3596 Stearns Drive Motion by Vajgrt to approve a general development and specific implementation plan and planned development amendment for outdoor vehicle storage for property located at 3596 Stearns Drive with the following revised conditions: 1) Approval of final storm water management plans, by the Department of Public Works. 2) Fence will be increased to 8' solid fence and be in compliance with City Standards for outdoor storage. 3) Light pole will be reduced to 25' and be in compliance with City standards. 4) A cross access easement being provided for the common lot line with property located at 1981 W.

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 President constructive solutions 6 (3) STRAND 5A0 014 AR-4rR1S T 4 U *YM. QTY. cor.

No. 100-0430-6466-12001 General Fund — Misc. Contractual Services cito� Oshkosh MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works SN"i DATE: November 9, 2017 RE: Agreement with Foust Excavating, Inc. for 2017/2018 Snow and Ice Removal BACKGROUND The City's Municipal Code, Section 25-68, requires residents to remove snow and ice from sidewalk and curb ramps abutting their property within 24 hours of cessation of snowfall. Municipal Code Section 25- 69 allows the City to remove the snow or ice and bill the property owner for the cost of removal. Each year, the Department of Public Works requests quotes for performing this work for the upcoming winter season. ANALYSIS The Department of Public Works requested quotes for performing 2017/2018 snow and ice removal services for the City of Oshkosh. Quotes were received from two firms. After review of both quotes, it was determined the lowest responsible quote was received from Foust Excavating, Inc. FISCAL IMPACT The fees that will be charged by the contractor for snow and ice removal for each property are billed to the individual property owner, resulting in no fiscal impact to the City. Property owners are charged for the work performed. The base price includes snow and ice removal for up to 100 feet. Additional fees are charged for longer distances, handicap ramps, and other special services. As a matter of reference, the charge for snow and ice removal for a lot with 100 feet of frontage will be $100. This includes an administrative fee. RECOMMENDATIONS The Department of Public Works recommends the Council award this agreement to Foust Excavating, Inc. Approved, Mark A.

Money for this purpose is hereby appropriated from: Acct. No. XXX-XXXX-6426-XXXXX Misc. Funds - Maintenance Machinery, Building, Equipment TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Jon G. Urben, General Services Manager DATE: November 7, 2017 RE: Award Bid and Approve 3 Year Agreement with Cintas Fire Protection for Fire Extinguisher Maintenance Services for Various Departments BACKGROUND The City contracts with a fire protection vendor for annual recharging, testing and replacement of fire extinguishers for required department facilities and vehicles. The current service agreement is set to expire December 31, 2017. ANALYSIS Purchasing prepared bid specifications for a three-year term for these services with the option for two, one-year term renewals. The evaluation criteria focused on the costs to provide annual maintenance checks, dry chemical stored pressure recharging, testing and replacement as these make up the majority of the needs required of this service. The bid was posted on Onvia DemandStar. Bids were due October 13, 2017. The bid tab is attached. Purchasing's review of the bids concluded the low bid from Cintas Fire Protection met all the minimum bid requirements. FISCAL IMPACT The annual estimated fiscal impact of these services across all required departments is approximately $11,177.45. Because the three-year anticipated total expenditure for these services is expected to exceed $25,000 with a projected cost of $33,532.35, this agreement requires Common Council approval. These services are budgeted annually within each required department's contractual services account (6426). RECOMMENDATION Purchasing recommends the Common Council award this three-year fire extinguisher maintenance service agreement to Cintas Fire Protection per the unit prices on the attached bid tab.

No. 504-1040-6450-00000 TIF #26 Aviation Business Park TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darlene Brandt Grants Coordinator DATE: November 8, 2017 RE: Approve Amendment #1 to Professional Service Agreement with Strand Associates Inc. for Engineering Construction Related Services; Aviation Business Park (+$36,211) BACKGROUND The City received a $2,000,000 grant from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) to offset costs associated with site preparation and installation of utilities in the Aviation Business Park adjacent to Wittman Airport on Ripple Avenue. Strand Associates was hired in 2016 to prepare bid specifications, plan drawings and provide engineering related services associated with construction of the Aviation Business Park. ANALYSIS The original request for engineering services proposals had estimated total construction would occur over five and one-half months. After Strand's proposal was accepted, changes were made to the construction project to include the proposed water main loop from Aviation Business Park to the frontage road. Staff and EDA representatives felt there was a chance the additional water mail loop work could be included. Those plans were submitted to EDA and after careful consideration, EDA indicated the water main loop could not be included under the existing grant since it was not included in the original application. Strand was then requested to revise the construction drawings and bid specifications to comply with EDA's decision. These changes also delayed the project by two months. FISCAL IMPACT The EDA grant application estimated construction costs to be in the neighborhood of $4.6 million. As noted above, the City received a $2,000,000 grant from EDA to offset construction costs associated with Aviation Business Park. The City borrowed $2.4 million in State Land Trust funds for its share of the construction costs. Strand's proposed $36,211 increase, and the $34,875 change order #2 increase to PTS Contractors Contract 15-09 (also on today's agenda), will bring the total project costs to approximately $3.4 million. Approval of both of these change orders will result in the project being completed about $1 million under budget. RECOMMENDATION Council approves Amendment #1 to Strand Associates agreement for engineering construction related services for the Aviation Business Park in the amount of $36,211.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Oshkosh to strongly encourage CN Railroad to cooperate with the City so that the critical storm water project may be completed at the Railroad's East 141h Avenue crossing; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution be forwarded by the City Clerk to the CN Railroad U.S. offices in Homewood, Illinois, as well as to the offices of Senator Ron Johnson and Congressman Glenn Grothman with the request that their federal offices review the situation and take any appropriate actions. NOVEMBER 14, 2017 (CARRIED PURPOSE INITIATED BY LOST 17-546 RESOLUTION LAID OVER WITHDRAWN ) REMOVE SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER CHAIRPERSON - SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD WHEREAS, Ryan Hamann was appointed to the Sustainability Advisory Board in September 2016 for a term expiring on June 1, 2018; and WHEREAS, Mr. Hamann has not attended meetings or been in contact with staff or the board chair since May 2017. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council that Ryan Hamann is hereby removed from the Sustainability Advisory Board. TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Steven Wiley, Assistant Planner DATE: November 9, 2017 RE: Remove Sustainability Advisory Board Member BACKGROUND Ryan Hamann was appointed to the Sustainability Advisory Board in September 2016. He attended a couple of SAB meetings and functions in 2016 after his appointment. He had a discussion after the February 6, 2017 SAB meeting with the SAB Chair about the possibility of moving within the year. Between that meeting and now, he has attended just one SAB meeting and/or event. Furthermore, he has not responded to multiple requests by the SAB Chair about his status. The board Chair has since identified another community member is interested in joining the board. ANALYSIS Vacancies and removals of board and commission members are governed by Wisconsin Statutes. Section 17.03 of the Wisconsin Statutes provides that vacancies are caused by death, resignation, removal or non -residency when residency is a requirement. Absences from meetings do not automatically create a vacancy. In this case, we are not certain whether Mr. Hamann has moved from the City creating a vacancy on the board or whether he is simply not attending meetings. Section 17.12 of the Wisconsin Statutes provides a method for the removal of an appointed city official such as a board member by the Common Council. In this case, because the appointment is made by the Council upon the recommendation of the Mayor, the Council may remove the person with or without cause. Cause is defined by the Statutes as inefficiency, neglect of duty, official misconduct or malfeasance in office. Because of Mr. Hamann's repeated failure to either attend meetings or notify the appropriate staff and/or board members of his status and his failure to respond to inquiries regarding his further interest in serving on the Sustainability Advisory Board, this behavior qualifies as neglect of duty which removal is warranted. Mr. Hamann s removal would create a vacancy upon the Board which is being filled by a separate resolution before the Council. Should the Council determine not to remove Mr. Hamann from the Board the vacancy resolution would need to be pulled. RECOMMENDATION The Oshkosh Sustainability Advisory Board Chair, in consultation with City staff, request that the City Council remove Ryan Hamann from the Sustainability Advisory Board to make room for a potential interested member.

Hammon Dr. P.O. Box 5555 Madison, WI 53705-0555 877-204-9712 Statewide Services, Inc. administers the claims for the League of Wisconsin Municipalities Mutual Insurance, which provides the insurance coverage for the City of Oshkosh. We are in receipt of the "Claim" documentation submitted by Ms. Vander Grinten in which she is asserting she sustained bodily injury(s) when she stepped into a "dip" in the road causing her to fall into her car at or near 837 N. Main Street. Our investigation has revealed that the City of Oshkosh was not negligent or liable for this incident as the City did not have prior notice of the condition which allegedly caused this incident. A municipality has no liability unless it knew, or should have known, of the existence of the condition and had reasonable amount of time to repair the condition. Therefore, in the absence of negligence and absence of notice of the condition on the part of the City, we recommend that the City of Oshkosh disallow this claim pursuant to the Wisconsin Statute for disallowance of claim 893.80(lg). The disallowance of the claim in this manner will allow us to shorten the statute of limitations period to six months. The City of Oshkosh does not carry the no-fault Premise Medpay coverage on their policy to pay for the claimant's medical expenses. Please send the disallowance, on your letterhead, directly to the claimant at the above listed address. This should be sent certified or registered (restricted) mail and must be received by the claimant within 120 days after you received the claim.

WESTFIELD STREET Remove Therefrom: No parking, east side, from 556 feet to 723 feet south of Oshkosh Avenue. Add Thereto: No parking, east side, from 612 feet to 672 feet south of Oshkosh Avenue.

This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage, publication and placement of the appropriate signage. SECTION 3. Publication Notice Please take notice that the City of Oshkosh enacted ordinance #17-525 (A GENERAL ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OSHKOSH AMENDING SECTION 27A-11 OF THE OSHKOSH MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING PARKING REGULATIONS ON DESIGNATED STREETS AND ALLEYS) on November 14, 2017. The ordinance modifies parking regulations on Leeward Court W., North Westfield Street, and West 61h Avenue.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Jim Collins, Director of Transportation DATE: October 12, 2017 RE: Modifying parking restrictions on Leeward Court W, Westfield Street and West 6th Avenue BACKGROUND This ordinance modifies parking restrictions on Leeward Court W., Westfield Street and West 6th Avenue. It changes the parking Leeward Court W. from unrestricted to no parking, both sides, from Bowen Street to its northern terminus. This request comes from the Swanson Wiper Company. The ordinance minimizes the no parking zone on the east side of Westfield Street from 556' to 723' to 612' to 672' south of Oshkosh Avenue. This request comes from Evergreen Retirement Community. The ordinance also changes the loading zone on West 61h Avenue, north side, from Nebraska Street to 30' east, to 2 -hour parking. This is a request from the developers of the former Granary Restaurant. The Traffic Review Advisory Board recommends approval of all these requests. (6-0) ANALYSIS The no parking on both sides of Leeward Court W. will allow trucks access to the loading docks at Swanson Wiper Company. Evergreen Retirement Community will have a few more on street parking spaces in front of their building while maintaining safety with clear lines of sight around their driveway (no parking 20' each side rather than the standard 4'). The loading zone on West 611, Avenue, from Nebraska Street to 30 ' east, is no longer needed. The developer requested this area be converted to 2 -hour parking which is consistent with parking regulations on the north side here. FISCAL IMPACT The fiscal impact of this ordinance is the cost of signage. The signage cost would come out of the Sign Department operational budget. RECOMMENDATION Section 27A-11 of the Municipal Code pertains to parking regulations on designated streets and alleys. I recommend that the Common Council approve this ordinance.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: John Zarate, Chief Building Official DATE: October 9, 2017 RE: Amend Chapter 16 Housing Code of the Municipal Code to Create Section 16-33(A)(10) Pertaining to Carbon Monoxide Detectors and Section 16-46(B) Pertaining to Carbon Monoxide Detectors Penalties BACKGROUND The City of Oshkosh Minimum Housing Code currently does not incorporate any code requirements for the installation of carbon monoxide detectors. The State of Wisconsin created statutory language requiring the installation of carbon monoxide detectors with effective dates in 2010 for multi -unit commercial structures and in 2011 for one and two family dwellings. City staff brought this issue to the attention of the Rental Housing Advisory Board and upon discussion, the Rental Housing Advisory Board is recommending the CO Ordinance update. ANALYSIS While the Inspection Services Division does issue code violation notices for violations of the State Statutes as they relate to carbon monoxide detectors in rental units, without incorporating the State Statutes by reference into the City Minimum Housing Code, enforcement options are limited. In cases where forced compliance is necessary, the Inspection services Division does not have citation capability. Any penalties would have to follow the State Statute and would fall under the authority of the Department of Safety and Professional Services or the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. By incorporating the statutory language into the City of Oshkosh Minimum Housing Code, the Inspection Services Division would have greater ability to ensure compliance and help to protect the safety of renters in the City of Oshkosh. FISCAL IMPACT There would be no fiscal impact to the City budget as a result of passage. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that City Council approves the amendment to the Minimum Housing Code.

Clerk's phone: 920/236-5011. r,A City Owl- Oshkosh fOshkosh TO: Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Timothy Franz, Fire Chief DATE: November 8, 2017 RE: Request to Amend City Ordinance Related to Fire Prevention BACKGROUND The City of Oshkosh Fire Prevention Ordinance (Section 13) adopts by reference the International Fire Code (IFC) and applicable Codes from the State of Wisconsin. The Intentional Fire Code has been updated along with the State of Wisconsin Codes which requires that we update our local ordinance to reflect these changes. In addition to these changes, the penalties for smoke detector violations are not consistent with the other penalties in this Chapter and other city ordinance violations. ANALYSIS The State Department of Safety and Professional Services (SPS) has updated Administrative Rule SBS 14 that includes the adoption of the 2015 International Fire Code. Section 13 currently references the 2009 IFC so to remain consistent with this rule and the companion building codes, this section needs to be updated. On reviewing this Chapter, we also determined that the penalties for violating smoke and carbon monoxide detector placement and maintenance ordinances started at $175.00 for the first offense. All other penalties in this section as well as other City ordinance violations start at $75.00 for the first violation. To be consistent with other codes, staff is proposing reducing the forfeiture for this offense to match other codes. FISCAL IMPACT There is minimal fiscal impact based on the low volume of ordinance violations cited under this Section. There is no fiscal impact by updating Fire Prevention Ordinance (Section 13) code reference to IFC 2015. RECCOMENDATION I recommend that the City amend the Fire Prevention Ordinance Section 13 as presented to reflect the updates in State of Wisconsin and IFC along with the changes in penalties for smoke and carbon monoxide detector violations. This will ensure our ability to enforce the Fire Prevention Codes for the continued safety of our residents and property owners. Please direct any question regarding this matter to the Fire Chief.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services DATE: November 9, 2017 RE: Approve Zone Change from I Institutional District to I -PD Institutional District with Planned Development Overlay; 425 Lake Shore Drive (Plan Commission recommends approval) BACKGROUND 425 Lake Shore Drive is currently the location of the City of Oshkosh Water Filtration Plant and Clearwells. The site is approximately 9.1 acres. The surrounding area is a mix of institutional, commercial and residential land uses. The applicant requests a zone change from the existing I Institutional District to I -PD Institutional District with a Planned Development Overlay. ANALYSIS The property consists of various features that comprise the City of Oshkosh Water Filtration Plant and Clearwells. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing clearwells and replace them with new at -grade reservoirs, a high lift station, and an addition to an existing building for an intermediate pump station. The proposed renovations will require base standard modifications for the reduction of the required front yard setbacks for accessory structures. The renovations will also require a base standard modification to allow the proposed reservoirs, lift station, and pump station to exceed the maximum allowed height for accessory structures. These base standard modifications require a zone change from the Institutional District to the Institutional District with a Planned Development Overlay to accommodate these allowances that do not meet zoning ordinance standards. FISCAL IMPACT Changing the zoning as requested will have no fiscal impact as the underlying zoning is not changing. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission recommended approval of the zone change at its November 7, 2017 meeting. City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O.

Applicable Ordinance Provisions: The Zoning Ordinance does not establish criteria relative to appropriateness of changing zoning from one classification to another but relies on the Comprehensive Plan and good planning principles. Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Type: 425 Lake Shore Drive is currently the location of the City of Oshkosh Water Filtration Plant and Clearwells. The site is approximately 9.1 acres. The surrounding area is a mix of institutional, commercial and residential land uses. Subject Site Existing Land Use Zoning Water filtration and clearwells I Adjacent Land Use and Zoning Comvrehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Use ategory 10 & 20 Year Land Use Recommendation Public Institutional ANALYSIS Use/Site Design The property currently consists of low lift pump stations, rapid mix channels, flocculation basins, sedimentation basins, dual media filters, ozone contactors, granular active carbon (GAC) contactors, a chlorine contact / backwash supply basin, a backwash recovery basin, three finished water clearwells and two high lift pump stations. Two of the clearwells were constructed prior to 1915; the third was constructed in 1961. The applicant is proposing to demolish the three existing clearwells. Replacing them with two new at -grade reservoirs and a new high lift station. They are also proposing an addition to an existing building for an intermediate lift station. The proposed reservoirs are 35.5' in total height. Maximum height for an accessory structure in the Institutional District is 18'. A base standard modification will be required to allow the reservoirs to exceed 18'. The new high lift station is proposed to be 30' in total height and the addition for the intermediate pump station is proposed to be 31' in total height. Again, a base standard modification will be required to allow the proposed structures. The proposed north reservoir is shown at approximately 10' from the east property line, the proposed high lift station is approximately 19' from the east property line and the proposed south reservoir is approximately 17' from the east property line and approximately 6' from the south property line. Accessory structures have a 60' front setback and must be a minimum of 5' behind the primary structure. Due to the site having four front yards, a base standard modification will be required to allow accessory structures within the front setbacks. A 6' chain link with 3 strands barb wire is proposed around the facility. Code does not allow barb wire fencing unless the fencing meets the required primary building setback. Base standard modifications will be required to permit the barb wire fence along the property line and to allow a 6' fence along the front yards. The chain link fence will need to be galvanized or coated. The proposed use is permitted use within the Institutional District and is consistent with the public institutional recommendation in the 10 and 20 -year Comprehensive Plan Land Use Maps. Access/Parking The site will continue to use the five existing access points. Two along Linde Street, one along Washington Avenue and two along Lake Shore Drive. Signage A signage package was not submitted but will be required as part of the Specific Implementation plan. Landscaping A conceptual landscaping plan has been provided. The plan as shown, does not meet the zoning ordinance's landscaping standards. A final landscaping plan will need to be submitted as part of the Specific Implementation Plan. The final plan will need to include; building foundation, street Item— 425 Lake Shore Rezone & GDP 2 frontage and yard landscaping in accordance with the landscaping section of the zoning ordinance. Storm Water Management Storm water management plans will need to be reviewed and approved by the Department of Public Works as part of the Specific Implementation Plan and Site Plan review process. Building Elevations Conceptual building elevations have been provided. The applicant is proposing that the intermediate and high lift stations be constructed to complement the existing buildings. The applicant has proposed several options for the reservoirs after receiving initial feedback from a public meeting they held on October 16, 2017. The final building elevations will be approved as part of the Architectural Review and Specific Implementation Plan. 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.) (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. Item— 425 Lake Shore Rezone & GDP 3 (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 believes the development 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 recommends approval of the zone change from Institutional to Institutional with a Planned Development Overlay and approval of the Planned Development for a General Development Plan, with the findings listed above for the development as proposed with the following conditions: 1. Base Standard Modification to allow the proposed reservoirs and high lift station to be located within the required 60' front yard setback for accessory structures to 10', 19', 17 and 6' respectively. 2. Base Standard Modification to allow the proposed reservoirs, high lift station and intermediate pump station to exceed the maximum allowed height for accessory structures to total heights of 35.5', 30' and 31' respectively. 3. Base Standard Modification to allow a 6' fence within the front yards. 4. Base Standard Modification to allow a barb wire fence within the primary building setbacks. The Plan Commission approved a zone change from the existing I Institutional District to I -PD Institutional District with a Planned Development Overlay and approval for a General Development Plan as requested with conditions noted. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item. Mr. Burich presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land use and zoning classifications in this area. He explained that the zone change to a planned development overlay was required to allow for base standard modifications necessary for this development. He reviewed the history of the site and the site plan and discussed the proposed renovations, use of the site for the water filtration plant, and the structures that will include a new lift station and water reservoirs. He also reviewed the fencing and height of the structures which a base standard modification would be required for the height and location of the accessory structures however meeting the required setbacks on this property would not be possible due to the fact that it has street frontage on all four sides of the site. A base standard modification is also necessary for the fencing in the front yards as well as the inclusion of barbed wire fencing within the primary building setbacks. The development will be required to come back through the process for approval of the landscaping plan during the specific implementation plan approval and the building elevations will be discussed at a workshop today following the meeting. He reviewed renderings of the site and the fencing and the conditions recommended for this request. Mr. Thorns questioned why the barbed wire was required on this project and why we are not requiring slates in the fencing for screening purposes. Item- 425 Lake Shore Rezone & GDP Steve Brand, Utility Manager, stated that there is no barbed wire proposed for the site and that the fencing will not be slated due to security issues as the facility needs to able to be seen from the outside. He further stated that a general landscaping plan for the site was provided with landscaping on Washington Avenue with additional landscaping to be included with the specific implementation plan. He also discussed the fencing which is proposed to be black coated fencing with no slates for visibility purposes. Linda Mohr, CH2M Hill Engineers, the petitioner for this request, stated that black coated chain link fencing was installed on the site in 2008/2009 and they are only proposing to replace a portion of fence east of the clear wells along the lake shore that is still the older fencing and that the replacement of this section would allow it to match the existing fencing on the remainder of the site. Mr. Thoms commented that if no barbed wire was proposed to be used, condition #4 for the base standard modification could be removed from this request. Mr. Bowen questioned if a neighborhood meeting was held to discuss this proposal. Mr. Burich responded affirmatively. Ms. Mohr added that the city sent out letters to 75 neighboring property owners for a public meeting held on October 16th where they had a Power Point presentation of an overview of the project and discussed alternatives and impacts to the neighbors both during the construction phase and the visual impacts of the renovated site. She stated that the structures for the water reservoirs were necessary as they can no longer store water in tanks underground. Mr. Bowen then questioned if the neighboring property owners had a positive reaction to this development. Ms. Mohr responded that the property owners understood the concept and that she would share their comments regarding the appearance of the development and their responses at the workshop for this project following the meeting. Mr. Thoms stated that condition #3 should be modified to include that the 6' fence will be coated chain link and condition #4 should be removed as there would be no barb wire fencing on the site. Motion by Thoms to approve a zone change from I -Institutional District to I -PD Institutional District with Planned Development Overlay and a general development plan for property located at 425 Lake Shore Drive with the following revised conditions for the general development plan: Base Standard Modification to allow the proposed reservoirs and high lift station to be located within the required 60' front yard setback for accessory structures to 10 ; 19'1 17' and 6' respectively. Item— 425 Lake Shore Rezone & GDP 2. Base Standard Modification to allow the proposed reservoirs, high lift station and intermediate pump station to exceed the maximum allowed height for accessory structures to total heights of 35.5 ; 30' and 31' respectively. 3. Base Standard Modification to allow a 6' coated chain link fence within the front yards. Seconded by Vajgrt. Motion carried 8-0.

Describe existing property development and land use., The Water Filtration Plant supplies potable water to the City of Oshkosh. Describe proposed development and/or proposed land use: The. Water Filtration Plant will be modified to potable water to the City of Oshkosh with facilities that comply with current state statutes.

The Water Filtration Plant will continue to supply potable water during and after construction. Zoning Adjacent to the Site: North: South'. SR9-LRO and UMU-PD East: I West: SR9-CRO Staff Date Recd U131i-, q City of Oshkosh Water Filtration Plant Clearwells Replacement Project Narrative Background The City of Oshkosh (City) owns and operates a 16 -million gallon per day (mgd) Water Filtration Plant (WFP). The WFP is located at 425 Lake Shore Drive. The surrounding land uses include institutional (public recreation), residential and commercial. The WFP property has served as the location for water supply and treatment facilities since the late 1800's. The WFP property will continue to be used to supply potable water to the City during and following construction of the Clearwells Replacement Project. The WFP treatment and conveyance facilities include low lift pump stations, rapid mix channels, flocculation basins, sedimentation basins, dual media filters, ozone contactors, granular activate carbon (GAC) contactors, a chlorine contact /backwash supply (CT/BWS) basin, a backwash recovery basin, three finished water clearwells, and two high lift pump stations. Two of the clearwells (buried potable water storage tanks) were constructed prior to 1915; the third, in 1961. fn 2007, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) conducted a sanitary survey of the City's water system and determined the WFP clearwells do not comply with several provisions of the current Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter NR 811, Requirements for the Operation and Design of Community Water Systems (NR 811). The clearwells were cited as a "deficiency" because they are located below groundwater level and do not have a sloped top or membrane cover. A "deficiency" is defined as a problem in the drinking water system that has the potential to cause serious health risks or to present long-term health risks to consumers. Corrective action must be taken to address a deficiency and the WDNR recommended the City plan to upgrade or replace the clearwells. Clearwells Replacement Project The purpose of the Clearwells Replacement Project is to address the following concerns: • Protection of public health. The clearwells and High Lift Pump Station (HLPS) wet wells do not comply with NR 811 and present a potential serious public health risk. • Maintain reliable customer service. Reliable finished water storage and conveyance facilities, supported by adequate emergency power generation and electrical power distribution, are essential for maintaining customer service. • Replacement of aging infrastructure. Two of the existing clearwells and some of the WFP buried finished water yard piping are over 100 years old and beyond their useful life. While they have been well maintained, they are beyond their useful life. The Clearwells Replacement Project is comprised of the following major components: • Demolition of three buried clearwells • Construction of two new at -grade 1 MG capacity reservoirs with former clearwell footprints • Construction of a new 16-mgd capacity intermediate lift station to fill the new reservoirs • Construction of a new 16-mgd capacity high -lift pump station to convey water from the new reservoirs to the distribution system • Demolition of the existing high -lift pumping systems 65 i Replacement of two existing 750 kilowatt (kM emergency generators with two new 1,000 kW generators; new electrical switchgear, transformers and automatic transfer switches • Sitework, buried yard piping and utilities, access roads, landscaping, and security fencing The project will be implemented in a single construction contract. The proposed project schedule is January 2018 through July 2020. There are 13 WFP employees, no daily customers, and no residents. The completed project will not change these WFP occupancy values. The completed project will not change the volume or pattern of vehicular traffic associated with operating and maintaining the WFP. During project construction, traffic will comply with City of Oshkosh -designated truck routes and will be managed to conform with City requirements and construction permits The completed project does not generate noise, glare, odors, or vibrations. However, the completed project will have a significant visual impact because new water storage and pumping facilities are located at grade and above 100 -year flood elevation to meet state statute. During project construction, environmental impacts will be controlled to levels allowed by City and state construction permits. q .L _ ' • ZONING: .

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Oshkosh that "Imagine Oshkosh", on file at the City Clerk's Office, is hereby approved and adopted. TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services DATE: November 9, 2017 RE: Approve Imagine Oshkosh -A Master Plan for Our Center City and Central City Investment Strategy (Plan Commission recommends approval) BACKGROUND Staff requests approval of the Imagine Oshkosh/Central City Investment Strategy (CCIS) plan which focuses on the broader area surrounding the "downtown' also including the S. Main and Oregon Street corridors and South Shore areas. Imagine Oshkosh is a policy guide and action framework to elevate the Center City and provides recommendations, strategies, and policies to maintain and improve this critical area of the community. One of the major themes of the Plan is how to promote or catalyze investment within the Center City. The Plan was prepared by Houseal Lavigne Associates in cooperation with City staff and an advisory committee. The Plan builds and expands upon the efforts and successes achieved with the Downtown Action Plan (2000) that was developed in partnership with the Chamber, and Community Foundation and focused heavily on the core downtown area. Imagine Oshkosh is broader in scope (covering more elements) and area by including much of the south shore area. During plan development a project website was hosted at Houseal Lavigne with information about the plan and planning process, several workshops, and public meetings were held, and staff/consultants made presentations at various forums including a segment on WOSH. ANALYSIS The Plan itself contains 10 chapters with the bulk of recommendations coming under the following major chapters: Land Use and Development Economic Development and Commercial Areas Housing and Residential Areas Transportation and Mobility Civic and Institutional Resources Arts and Cultural Resources Urban Design and Public Spaces City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1 130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us The Plan's area has been divided into nine distinct Functional Subareas with "supporting neighborhoods" added as a classification. Each functional area includes a description of desired conditions that the City should work towards and are broken into major categories of Desired Land Use, Design/Development Guidelines, and Relation to Surrounding Districts. The Plan includes various recommendations for each chapter and concludes with an Implementation Chapter. The Implementation Chapter contains a matrix that includes priority level, public cost estimate, ease of implementation, lead responsibility, and potential partnerships as well as 148 items to be implemented and a top 5 or 10 implementation list. The Plan will continue to elevate the Center City and promote continued investment in this special area of the community. It is staff's intent to incorporate the Imagine Oshkosh Plan as part of the Comprehensive Plan and will be doing that as part of the Comprehensive Plan update or as a standalone amendment. FISCAL IMPACT Approval of the Plan itself will not have a fiscal impact. Implementing various implementation items as identified in the Implementation Matrix (Chapter 10) may have fiscal implications that will be analyzed on a case by case basis. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission recommended approval of the Imagine Oshkosh master plan at its October 17, 2017 meeting. Res ctfully Submitted, Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services Approved: Mark A. Rohloff City Manager City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O.

Mr. Houseal gave a brief presentation on the criteria for location of development and the key components for choosing a location of which one of the greatest is the sense of place. He continued discussion with the size of the City's downtown area and the approaches into Oshkosh and the gateway corridors which are crucial. Mr. Lyons stated that a corridor plan may be brought forward on November 21St and the W. 91h Avenue and W. South Park Avenue would be the first to be discussed.

In 2000, the City partnered with the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce to develop a Downtown Action Plan. The Downtown Action Plan provided a framework and agenda that has successfully guided capital projects and private investment for more than 15 years, including Opera House Square, the Riverwalk and Leach Amphitheater, and streetscaping along North Main Street. Imagine Oshkosh provides an update to this previous planning effort, but further, it expands both its scope and geography. The Plan stands as a long-term vision and comprehensive investment strategy for the entire Center City, directing growth, development, and infrastructure investment. In addition to guiding the City's elected and appointed officials and staff, Imagine Oshkosh is a resource for businesses, not -for -profits, developers, and other important community stakeholders. WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY PLANNING PROCESPW Imagine Oshkosh is the product of an 8 -step planning process that initiated in October 2015. The process was desiffelIlLto create AN master plan that reflects the community's desires „;-aspirations and responds to the unique issues, opportunities, and conditions of Oshkosh's Center City. The planning process for Imagine' Oshkosh consisted of the following tasks: 11.11, ■ Task 1: Project initiation. In the Fall of 2015, the p nning process kicked off with meetingswith.. offi ', a tour of the city, and an initiation workshop with th City Advisory Committee/Core Group (CCAC/CG). ■ Task 2: Community Outreach. Residents and Center City stakeholders were engaged early in the process through a diverse variety of outreach methods, including public workshops, interviews and focus groups, and an interactive project website which featured sMap - an online community issues mapping tool. ■ Tash3: Existing Conditions Analysis. Near the project's halfway point, an Existing Conditions Report was prepared and presented to the CCAC/CG and the community.

The Existing Conditions Report is on file with the City. Tash,: Market Analysis. In close coordination with Step 3, a detailed assessment of the local market was undertaken. The market analysis provided a summary of potential uses within the Study Area, including defining the types of space each use requires and how these distinct spaces and uses can fit together successfully in the Central City area. ■ Task 5: Vision, Goals, d}- Objectives. A hands-on community visioning workshop tasked the Oshkosh community with articulating and illustrating their vision for the future of Center City. The results of the workshop along with the analysis of existing conditions provided direction for the vision and goals, objectives, and recommendations of Imagine Oshkosh. ■ Task 6: Framework Plans. Preliminary framework plans and recommendations were prepared to address all aspects of Center City, including land use, built form and development; retail; housing, transportation and parking; pedestrian and bicycle circulation; parks and open space; urban design and beautification; and, more. ■ Tash7: Implementation Strategy. Building onthe framework plans, a detailed implementation strategy was prepared to assist the City in implementing the recommendations within Imagine Oshkosh. ■ Tash8: Final Report R- Adoption.

Generally, participants felt strongly about making Center City a destination for families, with a variety of year-round activities and recreation spaces that provide entertainment for all members of the family. Developing higherendcondominiums and apartments were also a top priority, as were further activating the waterfront and ensuring pedestrian friendliness and connectivity. STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS In addition to public workshops, a series of one-on-one stakeholder interviews were conducted to gather greater detail about important issues and more accurately assess "on the ground" conditions and potentials. PROJECT WEBSITE An Imagine Oshkosh project website contained information and updates concerning the project, meeting notices, and project documents and reports. The project website also provided access questionnaires for both residents and businesses, and sMap, an interactive application that allowed visitors to create their own map of the Study Area. 2: Community Outreach 9 WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY KEY THEMES The following is a summary of the key themes, including priority issues, projects, and assets which were distilled through the outreach process. These highlight the major issues and point of interest which were consistently identified. HOUSING Capture unmet housing demand through new condos, multi -family units, and townhomes. Developing a Variety of Quality Housing Options ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Promo �cono ` diversity and enh,We the retal erience. Diversifying Retail Workshop participants like to see a more diverse mix of retail 411411111111h,Qtions than what is currently offered. Suggestions included the a n of a Oocery store, more businesses supporting day-to-day living, entertainment destinations, diverse restaurant options, and mixed-use developments. For Center City to thrive, participants would like to see more residential units downtown, including quality condom' s along, or proximate to, the waterfront. It was -noted th rrently the only product in the Center City area is eithertraditio' gle family homes on a residential block or rental multi ily u S. The community stated that it would dike housing op s such as townhomes and condominiums in a full -range of c and rents. Revitalizing Surrounding Residential borhoods The health and vitality of the residential neighborhoods surrounding Center City are seen as critical to its success. Participants noted that many of the nearby neighborhoods suffer from disinvestment and crime impacting the attractiveness of Center City. It was suggested that additional investment in these areas can not only stabilize the Downtown core but also provide a healthy consumer base for local businesses. Participants also noted that they would like housing standards for multi -family housing in the downtown area to be clear and directly applicable to ensure quality housing. Would You Live in Center City? The questionnaire asked residents if they would consider living in the Center City Study Area and to share either why they would or why they wouldn't. Respondents mostly stated that they would not move to Center City. Reasons given included too much density, lack of green space, noisiness, and need for larger housing units given familial size. Some did respond that they would move if higher quality housing was provided. Improving Retail Outreach participants expressed concern about retail within Center City. The concern was multi -faceted and included a need for destination shopping, and concern that some existing tenants may not be desirable in the long-term. It was argued that new tenants should be recruited that can improve the appearance and vibrancy of the district and help establish a more favorable retail experience. Tax Incentives �- Business Retention Roughly two-thirds of residents and three-fourths of businesses who responded to online questionnaires indicated they would support the use of tax incentives to attract and retain businesses. Tax incentives and other resources were also suggested by workshop participants. Factors Affecting Businesses Business owners were asked to rate how several different factors and issues affect their business. The top factors were: quality of their building, visibility and access to customers, proximity to public transportation, and character of the business district. Other responses included the lack of a full-service grocery store, vacant sites, presence of student housing, not enough traffic, and difficulty parking.

It was also noted that City should improve unattractive areas along these routes to help communicate a positive first impression of Oshkosh and to help draw visitors into Center City. Transportation Options It was expressed that there is a lack of alternative methods of transportation into, and throughout, Center City. More specifically, the community would like to see better pedestrian access, improved bus service on nights and weekends, and safe and well connected bike paths. Parking Although the City Center's parking supply was considered adequate, some felt that it was not well located or distributed. There was also concern that more conveniently located parking spaces are being used by employees, forcing Center City visitors to more remote parking. Some parking projects suggested by the community included reconfiguring existing public parking to yield more capacity, constructing additional parking behind Main Street businesses, and converting vacant sites into public parking lots. i of Oshhosh. twvrs.wuurr� vwa.wr[sw u�r[wwr-sr a.w.a Participants stated that they would like to see vacant structures either torn down or repurposed, based on the quality of the building and the stability of the block.

In addition to providing insight into historical development patterns, an accurate assessment of existing uses provides an accurate starting point for formulating a plan for Center City to help protect existing uses and promote desired future uses in suitable areas. To provide a clear understanding of how land is used within the study area, an inventory and assessment of every parcel and structure within Center City has conducted at the onset of the planning process. Parcels within the Center City Study Area can be classified in 13 distinct land use designations. DETACHED RESIDENTIAL This land use category consists of single-family detached homes, many of which feature detached garages. These uses are generally found in the fringe areas of Center City. ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL u1/:1:11110WI The Mixed -Use designation includes uses typically include multiple distinct uses in a single building. The most common form of mixed-use developments are ground floor commercial uses with residential or office uses located on upper floors.

DOWNTOWN CORE The historic, mixed-use heart o the Oshhosh Center City. The Downtown Core Subarea is the traditional entertainment, cultural, and social heart of Oshkosh. It is what everyone would typically agree is "downtown" or the "central business district," and is home to some of Oshkosh's most cherished destinations and businesses. Existing buildings in the Downtown Core are typically built to the property line, two or more stories in height, and mixed-use with commercial on the ground floor and residential or office uses on the upper floors. Sidewalk bump -outs, streetscaping, and pedestrian amenities create a walkable and inviting pedestrian environment, and have reduced the width of travel lanes helping reinforce the area's pedestrian orientation. The City should continue to encourage high-density, mixed- use development within the Downtown Core, consistentwith the existing land use and development pattern. The City should support redevelopment of underutilized properties and, should opportunities arise, work to consolidate parking facilities manner which will support the desired built form, including a consistent streetwall and building mass.

DOWNTOWN OUTER CORE A growth area for the historic core. The Outer Core Subarea exhibits similar characteristics of the Downtown Core, but with lower density and a less compact built form. The prominence of surface parking, setbacks, and larger buildings erodes the pedestrian friendly atmosphere present in the Downtown Core. The Outer Core contains many prominent destinations for the Oshkosh community, including the City Center complex, City Hall, The Police Department, the Oshkosh Community YMCA, the Best Western Premier Waterfront Hotel, and the Oshkosh Convention Center. The Outer Core is well positioned to benefit from "spill-over" investment and activity generated by the Downtown Core. In the long term, growth within both subareas should result in the incorporation of the Outer Core within the Downtown Core, creating a single, unified district at the heart of Center City.

NORTH COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR The northern gateway and approach to the Center City, supporting a gradual transition to the historic pedestrian -oriented core.. The North Main Commercial Corridor is primarily an auto -oriented corridor north of Parkway Avenue. Lot depths vary along the corridor, with some parcels extending the depth of the entire block while others are only half as deep and are backed by single- family detached homes. While the City's streetscaping project has 1^411k extended into the subarea, surface parking lots and pole signs are prominent along the corridor, reflecting an auto orientation. As a subarea of the Center City and approach to the Downtown Core, the City should encourage a less auto -oriented approach to land use and built form along the North Main Commercial Corridor. <4e While full-scale redevelopment as a pedestrian -oriented district is unlikely, a review and update of certain zoning regulations ma help encourage development which better balances pedestrian and automobile needs.

NORTHWEST TRANSITION The gateway and transitional area between the Center City and the adjacent University of Wisconsin — Oshhosh. The Northwest Transition Subarea serves as a transition area between the higher density Downtown Core and the University of Wisconsin — Oshkosh campus, containing a variety of uses. Auto - oriented commercial uses form the eastern and western boundaries along Jackson Street and Wisconsin Street, with single family residential blocks between the two roadways. Institutional uses such as the Winnebago County Courthouse and Most Blessed Sacrament Parish can also be found on the eastern border of the subarea. In addition, some properties in the northern -most tip of this subarea are included in the Irving -Church historic district. Generally, uses within the subarea are tailored towards college students, including fast food restaurants and pizza chains, fraternity and sorority hou� and single family homes converted into rentals. This subarea should serve as a transition between the Downtown \ Core and the University of Wisconsin — Oshkosh.

MARION ROAD WATERFRONT An urban neighborhood emphasizes waterfront investment and orientation, providing access to the various amenities of the Center City. The Marion Road Waterfront Subarea is predominantly residential and contains the largest concentration of multi -family units in the study area. A former industrial district, the subarea has undergone transformation with the addition of multi -family including Rivers Senior Living. Commercial frontage forms the western and eastern boundaries along Wisconsin Street and Jackson Street, and the Riverwalk forms the southern boundary along the Fox River. Mercury Marine motor boat testing facility and the vacant Lamico factory are the two industrial properties remaining in the subarea. Although in a more urban environment, the built form of this area is somewhat suburban. Buildings are set back from the road with large visible surface parking lots along the right-of-way, due to ti lot frontage being oriented to the Riverwalk. The City should support larger lot redevelopment withirrt subarea while requiring site design which fosters a more urban environment. The vacant Lamico factory site provides an opportunity to establish a new development at the center of the subarea which contributes to a more urban, walkaWirnnd pedestrian -oriented district. The City should cooperath Mercury Marine for the long-term relocation of their faci i In addition, the City should make improvements whi"' ill decease the impact of past industrial uses and establish am distinct character for the subarea.

SOUTH SHORE WEST A mixed-use, pedestrian -oriented district which defines future investment along the south shore. Unlike other subareas, the South Shore West Waterfront Subarea may be best described as a "blank slate". The subarea is defined by the vacant 27 -acre Morgan Door site, which has over 1,500 feet of frontage along the Fox River. As of the drafting of this document, plans are underway to redevelop the site into the "Morgan District" - a mixed-use area comprised of a grocery store, commercial uses, multi -family units, condominiums, and townhomes. The City should continue to work with developers promoting the construction of the Morgan District, which will have a significant impact on the character of the south shore, and Center City as a whole. Redevelopment within the subarea should consider pedestrian mobility and include pedestrian connections. The City should also explore extending the Riverwalk through this subarea, connecting to any new development, along with adjacenA neighborhoods.

The South Shore Central Subarea is located between the South Shore West and South Shore East Subareas. It contains an eclectic mix of light industrial, and commercial, and vacant properties which give the area an edge and gritty look and feel. Unlike its neighboring Subareas, the South Shore Central subarea is not expected to see large-scale development and redevelopment. The City should build upon this area's industrial past and draw from its 'Sawdust City' history by preserving the existing industrial feel and warehouse "vibe" by accommodating commercial and residential uses by adaptively reusing historic industrial complimented by thoughtful infill development.

SOUTH SHORE EAST A mixed-use, pedestrian -oriented district bringing together corporate tenants, entertainment venues, and regional hospitality. The South Shore East Subarea is largely industrial, with some auto -oriented commercial and single family detached homes. The subarea also includes several light industrial properties on the north shore of the Fox River, east of the Downtown Outer Core subarea. The existing industrial character of this subarea is out -of -place with its surrounding districts and uses are undesired. Two of the most notable sites within the subarea are underutilized and contain vacant structures: Pioneer Island and the Buckstaff Company site. Given the size and prominence of these properties, redevelopment will likely have a significant impact on the subarea.

OREGON STREET The south shore's "downtown," providing a similar character and range of uses as the Downtown Core. The Oregon Street Subarea is a linear neighborhood commercial district that functions almost like its own downtown. It is largely defined by commercial or mixed-use properties built to the property line. Uses along the corridor are mostly local businesses catering to Oshkosh residents. On -street parking exists throughout most of the corridor, with on-site parking typically located in surface lots located behind buildings. Single family residential uses can be found along the southern part of the Oregon Street corridor, as well as behind some of the commercial properties that front Oregon Street. Over the years, some traditional inline buildings have been demolished and replaced with surface parking lots or more auto -oriented developments; however, the streetwall remains largely intact. The City should reinforce the corridor's existing character and encourage mixed-use development. Maintenance and rehabilitati of existing structures should be encouraged, to keep the charm 1 and character of the area.

The Supporting Neighborhoods Subarea consists of residential blocks located alongside, or in the midst of, predominantly commercial or mixed-use districts on the fringe areas of Center ' City. While neighborhood character may vary slightly by location, generally these blocks are comprised of single-family detached homes, with some townhomes and multi -family development also present. A few properties within the Support Neighborhood district directly north of Church Avenue are included in the Irving — Church Historic District. The City should take steps to protect supporting neighborhoods from commercial encroachment and other negative impacts caused by adjacent high-intensity uses.

To provide focus, and with the aim of creating a "critical mass" of activity within concentrated areas, 20 sites were identified, mostly in areas with the greatest likelihood of development activity. Opportunity sites have been broken down into three categories: (1) Value -Add Sites, which include existing structures that should be preserved but activated with expansion, higher occupancy, repositioning, and/or adaptive reuse; (2)Redevelopment Priority Sites, which include development of vacant parcels or demolition of an existing structure for a new structure; and (3) Redevelopment Catalyst Sites, which include large, highly visible and prominent parcels, that if redeveloped would have a catalytic affect on adjacent and surrounding parcels, leading to additional investment.

These key redevelopment sites and projects i ■ The Morgan Company Site (formerly a door manufacturer) ■ The Lamico Mobility Products Site (formerly a crutch manufacturer) ■ The Buckstaff Edwards Company Site (formerly a casket and furniture manufacturer) ■ Pioneer Island (formerly a resort) The City should take a very active role in the future use, site design, and overall planning of these redevelopment sites. This will include final review of a development proposal; however, the City should become involved as early as possible in the process. Given the importance and impact of these projects, the City should provide regulatory assistance and work collaboratively with potential developers and property owners. This will help ensure that the final product marries City and developer priorities in a way which will benefit the Center City for decades to come. preferred role within the study area and the desired style of development. Several broad elements should be encourage across all key redevelopment sites and future opportunities sites within tine Center City, including: ��■ Have an "urban" site design and architecture that fits into the existing fabric of the center city. ■ Include residential units that can meet pent up residential demand and increase density. ■ Provide amenities or experiences that are currently lacking in the Center City and do not detract from existing uses and businesses. ■ Include quality office space that could support new office tenants and accommodate expansion of existing businesses. ■ Have an engaging relationship with the waterfront, including open spaces and attractive vista and view corridors to and from the water. Pioneer Island (Q) Pioneer Island is located east of Pioneer Drive, south of the confluence of the Fox River and Lake Winnebago, within the South Shore East subarea. Previously a resort, operations have since ceased and the facilities remain vacant. Moving forward, the City should use the Sawdust District Redevelopment Plan as a guide for redeveloping Pioneer Island as a new resort or entertainment -based facility, possibly including boat slips, restaurants, lodging, entertainment, residential units, and more. Given the unique location and high visibility of this site, it should be developed as a pinnacle development and focal point for the Center City, providing beautiful views of the lake and welcoming individuals traveling into the community from the water. 36 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY The Morgan Company Site (K) As of the drafting of this document, the Morgan Company Site is being used by Oshkosh Corporation for vehicle storage, however, plans are underway to redevelop the site. The new development, called the Morgan District, would be a mixed-use district comprised of a grocery store, commercial uses, multi -family units, condominiums, and townhomes. The City should continue to seek execufr'bn of this development utilizing best practices to create a4fikestrian-oriented, mixes use district. Completion of the project dramatically alter the Center City and place a significant emphasis onthe south sh' re. As such, the City should carefully review all proposed site gns to ensure final construction results in an attractive, hig; : ity, and inviting development along the river. In particular, the verwalk should be thoughtfully integrated to the development as an example of riverfront development in the future. The Lamico Mobility Products Site (1) The Lamico Mobility Products Site is located at the center of the Marion Road Waterfront functional subarea. Previously home to Lamico Mobility Products, a crutch manufacturer, operations have since ceased and the facility remains vacant. Given its location, the redevelopment of this site will have a significant impact on the surrounding area and should set a standard for future development within the Marion Road Waterfront subarea. As of the drafting of this Plan, the City has recieved a development proposal for this site. New investment should be pedestrian -oriented, mixed-use, and include some form of public space. The City should work with potential developers to explore options for a public plaza, pocket park, or other form of public space to be included as part of redevelopment. Additionally, this should include a connection 4 dW Riverwalk and other adjacent residential elo ts. This would help create a public gather space at the enter of the subarea which contributes to a more neighborhood iendly environment. Adaptive reuse of the existing facility is got recommended for this site given the nature of uses in the urrounding area. The Buckstaff Company Site (P) The Buckstaff Company Site is located just east of Main Street between I Ith Avenue and South Park Avenue, within the South Shore East subarea. Previously home to the Buckstaff Company, a casket and furniture manufacturer, operations have since ceased and the facilities remain vacant. As of the drafting of this Plan, the City has received a development proposal for part of this site, which is reflective of visualizations included in the Sawdust District Redevelopment Plan. This development is now under construction. Moving forward, the City should continue to utilize the Sawdust District Redevelopment Plan for this site to guide redevelopment, either individually or as part of a larger redevelopment project. This site is large enough to accommodate a range of large-scale development not accommodated in most parts of the Center City. As such consideration should be given to larger uses that require a greater land area, such as corporate/office complexes, large entertainment venues, and more. New investment should be pedestrian -oriented, provide a mix of uses, and help to bridge the gap between residential neighborhoods and the Lake Winnebago waterfront. In addition, new development should be considerate of existing uses, including residences, on the west side of Main Street. Development on this site will have a significant impact on the appearance of the south shore and provide an example for future development within the subarea. 3: Land Use � Development 37 $AWU IFnFu 01kol10 •10 D]II __. 12�� { + lU_ w R� IL �- — —11w_ ZL� �. . wimp rl� a res IFAP� KAJ- �a ,A 29 30,; . ... 3 27 R+ l 28 14 r l L .25 ~ 22 = 26 �. 21 20 1 L v 1.

In 2016, Center City Oshkosh contained 130 retail businesses, including 51 bars and restaurants, and annual retail sales were estimated at roughly $62 million dollars. The character, scale, and type of retail varies throughout the study area, with more auto -oriented retailers on the northern fringe of the study area and boutique retail and restaurants mostly concentrated within the Downtown Core and Oregon Street functional subareas. Today, the growth of online shopping through retailers such as Amazon has impacted local shopping habits and reduced reliance on physical stores. The retail opportunity within Center City Oshkosh lies in the ability to provide (a) much needed day-to- day services for residents and employees and (b) unique products, experiences, and atmospheres that cannot be obtained online or in big -box locations.

As such, Center City Oshkosh serves several target groups of patrons. ■ Within a 5 -minute drive of the core of the Center City (primary market area), there is virtually no retail and dining competition, making the Center City the primary day-to-day retail option for the population within the core. ■ Within a 15 -minute drive (secondary market area), retail and dining competition is robust along the 1-41 corridor between exits 116 and 119, with chain businesses such as, Best Buy, Buffalo Wild Wings, Walmart, and Target. UNDERSTANDING THE GAP Simply put, a gap analysis compares retail sales ("supply") with what consumers spend ("demand") within a market area. When consumers spend more than businesses earn (demand > supply) in the market area, consumers are spending dollars outside of the area. This is referred to as "leakage". Typically, market are&&with leakage are potential opportunities for growth, as local for for these goods and services already exists but is un y existing supply. Conversely, when retail sales are more than nsum spend (supply > demand) in a market area, the njW is saturated with customers from both within and outside the area. This is r4kWed to as a "surplus". As the market is OV@&Dplied with s ing, retail category with surplus is challenginglIk new retail d opment..6 M Primary Market Area: Undersupplied by $6 illion It is estimated that there is unmet demand 4*6ail goods and services totaling approximately $62.6 million. The primary market area (5 minute drive time) contains 8,727 households in 2016 and total retail demand is estimated at $226 million. Many categories are experiencing some level of leakage, including Grocery Stores, Health & Personal Care Stores, and General Merchandising Stores. Secondary Market Area: Oversupplied by $70.9 Million It is estimated that there is an oversupply of retail goods and services totaling $70.9 million. The secondary market area (15 minute drive time) contains 30,844 households in 2016 and total retail demand is estimated at $988 million. Relative to the primary market area, it is more oversupplied, albeit there are retail groupings that are undersupplied, including Furniture and Home Furnishings, Electronics and Appliance Stores, Health and Personal Care Stores, and Other General Merchandise Stores. DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL Annual sales -per -square foot can be utilized to translate leakage dollars into development potential. While sales per square foot vary by individual retailer and industry, general assumptions of supportable square footage can be made by using an industry benchmark of $200 to $400 per square foot. For purposes of this analysis, $400 was utilized for a more conservative approach that does not overstate retail demand.

This will help to limit the visual impact of vacancy within the study area and contribute to greater critical mass. Within the Center City, only 12.5% of parcels are vacant and only 2.3% of buildings are fully vacant. Roughly one in ten buildings are either fully vacant, partially vacant, or underutilized, based upon field reconnaissance and assessment data provided by the City. From a perception standpoint, vacancy can often seem more acute due to the concentration of vacancy within a few areas and several very prominent sites being vacant or underutilized. The conversion of vacancies into new development can help improve resident's impressions of the Center City, demonstrating the City's dedication to the area and the potential for new investment. In general, infill development should be guided to properties south of the Fox River where the largest clusters of vacant properties and buildings are found. However, the completio of major development projects, such as the Morgan Doorte, will greatly decrease the appearance of vacancy south of the River and should help attract further investment.

To limit this visual impact, the City should explore opportunities for short-term uses to occupy vacant properties by creating activity on otherwise underutilized properties. Temporary uses could include urban farms, pocket gardens, pop-up markets, public plazas, or public art installations. Further, these spaces can be seen as'workshops' to test new ideas on a short-term basis and determine if more permanent development is viable. For example, the City could set up a temporary park on a vacant property and measure activity and fire,j&ncy of uses s would help to determine the feasibility of d ping a perman og park in the Center City prior to anen'ILdevelopmen'Whe City should coordinate with rty owWs to seeks these types of temporary uses which will contribute to critical mass within the Center City.

These areas indicate where future development and investment will have the greatest impact and support increased activity. The City should work with developers to encourage investment within these areas. This can include new construction as well as infill projects, renovation, or adaptive reuse. It is important to note that the City should not discourage development outside of these areas. Rather, critical mass priority areas should be emphasized as preferable for development. The City should consider offering incentives which will encourage development within the critical mass priority areas, such as regulatory assistance or a'fast-track' approval process. Critical mass priority areas include the following: SOUTH SHORE CENTRAL The South Shore Central area acts as a gateway from districts south of the Fox River into the heart of the Center City. As such, investment here will have a significant impact on the appearance of the Center City and can serve as a transition to the higher density development north of the river. Further, the area is sandwiched between the South Shore West and South Shore East functional subareas, which could be the site of major development projects in the next 5-10 years. Critical mass within the South Shore Central subarea will help t k these development projects through a unique and exislffdistrict.

DOWNTOWN CORE 1W Overall, the Downtown Core already has the greatest concentration of critical mass within the Center City. However, this area functions as the heart of the Oshkosh community. As such, the City should continue to encourage development within this area and build on the existing critical mass. Over time, investment within the Downtown Core should expand outward, helping to generate greater critical mass in the surrounding districts, in particular the Downtown Outer Core. 4: Economic Development � Commercial Areas 47 WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY e' o� CENTER CITY New York Ave CRITICAL MAWASS Baldwin Ave PRIORITYAREAS Prospect Ave dthAve !E O 5th St 6th Ave sn C� s 7th Aue Ali o am Scott Ave v1 0 Q I IrvingAve 0451 EPA Downtown Core South Shore Central o. it Downtown Outer Core 1zchAve _ South Shore East South Shore West �1 South ParhAve 441 Union Ave 14th Ave s V)v1 Z s LO z ■ r�ni�s o.z - 9th Ave W 0' m - A{ia,,o� sj LochAve EPA Downtown Core South Shore Central o. it Downtown Outer Core 1zchAve _ South Shore East South Shore West �1 South ParhAve r 14th Ave s V)v1 Z s z ■ r�ni�s o.z - 9th Ave W 0' m - O Li Z LochAve r: — �� n.

These will help to contribute to creating a retail district with a unique sense of place and shopping experience. ■ Businesses which provide a variety of services, such as beauty salons, barber shops, dry cleaners, tailors, or day spas.

The on-going Morgan District development may include a grocery store to fulfill this need. ■ Hotel and lodging`uses to provide additional options for short- term and long-term stays for visitors to Oshkosh.

Total employment also grew in both the City of Oshkosh (33,549 to 37,341) and the five -county region (355,178 to 381,109) during the same time period. Six of Oshkosh's fifteen largest employers have a presence in the Center City, including Winnebago County (1,018 jobs), 41mprint (729 jobs), Silver Star Brands (650 jobs), the City of Oshkosh (569 jobs), and Clarity Care (569 jobs). Employment growth in the Center City over the past ten years has outpaced the rest of the City, demonstrating the attractiveness of opening or expanding a business within the Downtown area. Most business leaders interviewed during the planning process believe that the Center City is a desirable location for additional job growth, with ready access to a regional talent pool and favorable business climate at both the local and state level. Proximity to Oshkosh Center City is also increasingly attractive for employers seeking to recruit and retain younger talent.

Source: Menasha Development Corporation and Appleton Post Crescent Oshkosh's Center City is in direct competition with other downtowns across the region. Only 2.4% of Center City employees live in the study area, while 42.5% of these workers are traveling from other communities in the region. As of June 2016, there was roughly 450,000 square feet of commercial space for lease and 424,161 square feet for sale collectively in the downtowns of Appleton, Fond du lac, Neenah, Menasha, and Oshkosh. The abili of the Center City to compete will depend on pricing, amenities, the location requirements of the tenant, housing availability for employees, and more. Based upon both projected trends and the current economy 4 the study area, the City should aim to attract 21 st Century employers to the Center City through the following recommendations. , ■ Actively recruit new businesses and a rs to move to the Center City. The City should work c ively with Chamber of Commerce, the Do wn BID, Greater Os h Economic Development Corp o n, and other organlzatlons to seek out opportunities to brin variety of employers, businesses, and industries to the CenACity. Foster the development of additional office space, with a particular focus on "Class A" product. Employers and stakeholders often cited the lack of quality office space as a limiting factor for the Center City. While there has been considerable residential development in recent years, office development has been modest and the majority of commercial buildings are dated, lack modern amenities, and do not offer the necessary floor plans or square footage for larger tenants. The City should encourage the development of a variety of office space products, including the potential for high quality office towers, such as those in Neenah (Neenah Towers, Gateway Tower) and Menasha (One Menasha Center). The greatest emphasis should be placed on development of office spaces which are sizable, class A product, and provide high quality, modern amenities. ■ Incorporate office spaces within mixed-use redevelopment projects of considerable size. This should include, in particular, the Morgan Door Site.

Though this should be encouraged throughout the study area, the South Shore Central subarea is the most appropriate locations for these kinds of conversions. Renovations should result in high-quality, viable office spaces which are competitive in the modern economy. All conversions should feature a mix of uses beyond just office space, including retail, restaurant, and services uses on the ground floor. Develop an inventory of all vacant and available office spaces within the Center City to encourage infill and attract new businesses. This should include vacant upper floor spaces, vacant buildings, vacant ' parcels, and an evaluation of the current state and necessary repairs for use as an office space. This inventory can be used to promote business growth in the Center City and help with businesses looking to move or expand to the Center City. A focus should be placed on filling vacancies in the City's three largest office buildings (111 N. Main Street, 217 N. Main Street, and 404 N. Main Street) which collectively account for 90,000 square feet of available space. ■ Assist property owners and developers with making necessary improvements to existing office spaces. These improvements should seek to update dilapidated or outdated spaces to be competitive within the current economy. This can be accomplished through loans and grants that support necessary maintenance, regulatory assistance, and help with applying for state or national funding. 54 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY Oshkosh, should be a partner in this project, and other tech - based companies should be consulted in development of the innovation district.

These spaces are often found within historic structures of buildings with unique architectural elements which contribute to overall character. As previously discussed, the City should promote mixed-use within the Center City, not just through new development, but also through the utilization of vacant upper floors spaces. As an application of this strategy, the City should look to activate existing upper floor spaces as residential units. Given that many of these spaces are currently unoccupied, this allows the City to grow the Center City population and provide a variety of housing options without pursuing new construction or costlier development scenarios. Many of the existing upper floor spaces, while available, are obsolete and do not meet market standards for residential use. These spaces are often older and utilize outdated construction materials and designs which do not support modern utilities or appliances. In addition, many upper floor spaces do not offer available parking, ADA accessibility, or other features commonly offered today. However, when modernized, older or historic spaces are ofte highly competitive on the residential market. UniquAIIIIIIIIIII elements, such as exposed brick wall in en uncommon in today's market and are highly sou Nereir character and sense of history. Th should wor erty owners to emphasize the potential is of activ g upper floor spaces and provide assistance where possible is can include regulatory assistance with permitting an , oject approval, as well as other creative ideas to best positio se spaces for success. In particular, the City should work collaboratively to identify options for properties without available parking and ensure ADA accessibility where applicable. 5- Housing � Residential Areas NEW MULTI -FAMILY DEVELOPMENT In recent years, multi -family development is driving an increase in building permits in the greater residential market area. Of all permits issues in the market area, 74.6% were for multi -family units, demonstrating the strength and desirability of multi- family construction. However, while multi -family development is increasing, multi -f y development has been very limited within area downtXt in Center City Oshkosh, however, there has N CONSTRUCT ERMITS - TOTAL UNITS (2011- 2015) RKET AREA y 622 6Of Soo 421 Itpoltv 182 149 100 o n ctural 18 3u 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 oeSingle Family jiieTwo Family OeMulti Family been no development of condominium buildings during the last several years. Throughout the outreach process, residents, developers, and local stakeholders expressed interest in high-quality condominium development within the Center City, particularly on vacant or underutilized land near the waterfront. It is believed that such development could set Oshkosh apart from other communities because the market inventory for high quality waterfront condominiums in an urban setting is very limited. The typical condominium unit available in 2016 is a two-bedroom, two -bathroom property with 1,788 square feet of space and a price of $191,358. However, as one expects, prices vary based upon location, size, and quality. New condominium developments can list as high as $350,000 due to scenic views, high quality finishes, and generous square footage-, examples include the Banta CourtTownhomes in Appleton. Market support for higher end condominium pricing is reflected in the Tax Increment Financing Application for the new mixed-use Morgan District, submitted by the developer in December 2015. The developer proposes 24 waterfront condominiums on the former Jeld Wen site will sell for an average of $375,000 per unit. 61 WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY RESIDENTIAL DEMAND & MARKET SHARE Put simply, the demand for housing will be determined by the lease rates or sales price of residential units and the types of product offered. Traditionally, young professionals (age under 35) and empty nesters (age over 55) are the predominant occupants of multi- family units, while families (aged 35-54) are the predominant buyer of single family homes. By examining how many householders fall into various age and income cohorts, the demand for units of a given housing type can be estimated.

Based on recent development activity and the potential for new investment, Center City Oshkosh is extremely well-positioned for further residential growth, particularly in the condominium market, which is likely currently undersupplied. Continued residential density will facilitate spin-off retail spending as well as increase the attractiveness for new retail development. While there is demand for condominium and apartment units in Oshkosh, several items must be noted: ■ First, the estimated demand numbers do not necessarily justify new construction; demand could also be absorbed by turnover of existing units and activation of the upper floors of existing mixed-use buildings. However, few quality residential units are located within or near the Center City or along the waterfron New units that are well-positioned, well -marketed, and well- built have an excellent chance of capturing potential demand. ■ Second, the estimated demand numbers are city-wideh-d not unique to the Center City. However, it is believed that the nter City is the best positioned neighborhood within Oshkos r the type of multi -family development desired 0111111111100 ■ Thirdly, new residential development in Center City Oshkosh will have to compete with new res' "a[ developrri at occurs elsewhere in the marke , such as A tond du Lac, Menasha, and Neenah. To in competitI shkosh's units must be better positioned a er greate lue to the prospective tenants or home buyers. ■ Lastly, one additional opportunity for res7Wal growth could be to market Oshkosh homes as vacation properties. Condominiums on or near the waterfront could be attractive summer properties for home buyers in other markets, such as Chicago.

In early 2016, a Downtown Parking Study was authored by Walker Parking Consultants that provides parking and operating strategies for Downtown Oshkosh. It is intended that this separate study serve as the parking strategy for the Downtown, complementing Imagine Oshkosh. The following is a brief summary of the central findings of the report: ■ The current downtown parking supply includes 4,860 parking spaces: 37% are publicly owned and operated with public access, 31 % are publicly owned and operated but with limited public access, 20% are privately owned and operated with limited public access, and 12% are located on -street. ■ Roughly 1 in 3 parking spots within downtown is controlled by the City Center Mall, with limited public access (31 %). ■ The current peak weekday parking demand in downtown Oshkosh does not exceed the current supply. Approximately 49% of the current parking supply is occupied during -peak weekday conditions (2,414 parked vehicles).

The Parking Fund, under current policies and practices, would be unable to support the annual debt service payment, operating expenses, and capital repair and maintenance associated with the public parking ramp Given the recentness of this dedicated parking study, recommendations for parking include strategies identified within Downtown Parking Study as well as those developed through the Imagine Oshkosh planning process. PARKING RECOMMENDATIONS ■ No Structure - Development of a new public parking structure in downtown Oshkosh is not recommended at this time. Awareness - Invest in methods to inform the community of public parking options within the Center City through the development and implementation of a signage and wayfinding program, community outreach efforts, and a public parking branding strategy. Fee Parking - Impl6ment an on -street paid parking system in the DowrjAZvn Core subarea to more effectively manage the use of c parking resources. By value pricing the core et on streSupp y and offering free off-street and peripheral on -street parking the City can use price as a tool to redistribute parking demand and maximize the use of existing resources. This syst offers access to Center City destinations and events w ile ding a range of parking products to choose from that b n with personal preferences. ■ Cooi ingSupply- Encourage the long-term consolidation both lic and private parking facilities in a manner which ort desired built forms within specific subareas. ■ Regulatory Updates - Update zoning regulations to encourage and incentivize site design which places parking on the rear of a property.

Even visitors that arrive by automobile become pedestrians the moment they park and exit their cars. Unlike suburban commercial corridors, which are primarily oriented toward the automobile, downtown areas she orient toward the pedestrian. The movement of pedestrians between stores, employment areas, dwelling units, theatres, restaurants, parking areas, and the riverfront are critica e and attractive pedestrian environment can sigmficOrandherrp� co to the overall character and appeal of the Center catalyze additional investment.

A%JlIii, X STREET GRID The street grid of any area impacts its Vinter ility, and pedestrian -friendliness. Smaller blocks able and accessible and are the preferred block tycity. When blocksare'walkable', pedestrian comfort and friendliness are achieved. A visitor can park in one spot and make multiple stops in the Center City by walking from business to business. While much of Oshkosh's street grid remains intact, there are many "super blocks" that reduce walkability, such as along N. Main Street, Church Avenue, Algoma Boulevard, and Marion Road. The City should take an active approach to ensuring "super blocks" contain pedestrian amenities, visual interest, and other forms of activity. As redevelopment occurs within the study area, the City should look for opportunities to make new pedestrian connections where possible. For example, redevelopment projects south of the Fox River should incorporate on-site pathways and other pedestrian connections to avoid the creation of "super block" developments.

A key recommendation in Vision Oshkosh Plan as t repare and adopt a "complete streets" plan. Me City should seek the development of complete streets throughout the Center City study area, in accordance with a Dtential complete streets plan. The development of complete reets will require context specific roadway treatments which are dependent upon a variety of factors, such as right-of-way width, traffic counts, or roadway jurisdiction. While the City should incorporate complete streets improvements as opportunities arise throughout the Downtown, a few specific complete street projects have been identified based on past planning efforts. These have been included on the accompanying Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility Map. SIDEWALKS The City of Oshkosh has an extensive, well-connected sidewalk network, which includes provisions for pedestrian access between parking lots, building entrances, and street sidewalks (City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance, Section 30-36.E.9). It should be noted; however, that not all pedestrian facilities provide the same experience. The width, placement, and design of sidewalks, as well as their use on different roadway classifications, can have a significant impact on pedestrian comfort and overall use. As opportunities arise, the City should utilize sidewalk best practices which take into consideration the specific needs of individual roadways within the city. These should be incorporated within streetscaping, general maintenance, and other public works projects to gradually update sidewalks across the Center City. While the City's sidewalk network and best practices are presented within the 2011 Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Plan, the following recommendations should be taken into consideration. 76 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY it opportunities to establish tree canop7%L, Where the right-of-way width exists, the CityWould widen sidewalks and pedestrian amenities appropriately by reducing traffic or parking lanes.

These projects will include bike lanes and sharrows (shared -lane routes) within the Center City, marked by necessary signage, striping, and pavement markings. All bicycle routes should be clearly designated with signage, which can be incorporated within a broader wayfinding program as well as streetscaping enhancement projects. Bicycle Parking- The City should also develop additional bicycle parking to encourage bicycle usage within the study area and attract students from the University of Wisconsin — Oshkosh into the Center City. While a few bicycle racks do exist, they are largely concentrated within the Downtown Core functional subarea. Additional racks should be added along designated bicycle route and at key destinations within the Center City. Bicycle racks and parking should be incorporated within any streetscaping enhancement projects. BICYCLE EDUCATION While communities across the country have rus o ad infrastructure and develop more bicycle -friendly tr ation networks, this has not always resulted in incre .ed bi traffic This is often because residents are uneducate ut Ee bicycle facilities exist and how to erly use the infrru re and facilities and remain safe. To b dapitalize on bi - improvements, the City should match them with a bi cle education program. This should include sar information about the bicycle network, designated ro telqWy, and how to use the system. Further, this program should nT only educate but also promote bicycle usage and the benefits of automobile transportation alternatives. RIVER CROSSINGS Although the new Wisconsin Street Bridge has accommodations for pedestrians and cyclists, the other two bridges serving the heart of the area are less welcoming routes for non -motorized travel. Improvements should be made to expand the pedestrian right-of- way and provider barriers between pedestrians and automobiles. However, making these improvements would require a considerable renovation or potentially reconstruction of the Main Street and Jackson/Oregon Str& bridges. Given the difficulty and high costs of these kinds of pMlects, the City should complete a study of the existing bridges and potential improvements to determine the best course of action.NRiverstem d also consider developing dedicated pedestrian bridgethe existing bridges and integrated within the overall and design. ftBLIC TRANSIT Public transportation is provided through GO Transit, which offers 10 fixe*us routes, 7 of which serve the project area. Buses typically run between 6:15 am and 6:45 pm. The University of Wisconsin -Oshkosh runs two fixed route bus routes during its 14 -week semesters. These bus lines provide an extended and late- night transit option, supplementing GO Transit regular hours. All bus routes operate through the Downtown Transit Center, located at the intersection of Pearl Avenue and Market Street. Transit stops are marked by signage and some feature covered rest areas; however, other improvement could benefit patrons and encourage greater ridership. Overall, the existing transit routes provide comprehensive coverage for the Center City and all functional subareas are well served. TRANSIT RECOMMENDATIONS ■ System Improvements - Improve all transit stops with benches, shelters, lighting, informational signage, and other pedestrian amenities. These improvements could be included with a branding effort to contribute to the image of the Center City. ■ Coordinate with Development - Review new development projects to identify potential changes to existing routes and new transit stops which should be added based on investment within the Center City, particularly projects within the South Shore West and South Shore East subareas. ■ User Feedback -Conduct an annual or biennial community survey to identify potential service extensions, concerns, or opportunities to improve public transit. 78 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY NMYcOAve CENTER CITY PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY �aiinA PrvspecLAve •± McMinAve SMIEAve Ste&gAve Yn s 1JncoinAve TY OF v MIL: - 0.2 9-t At •± OSHKOSH 4� Z :71bi/me Multi -Use TraiI s � Bike Lane - ��•� • l�ih Ate Sharrow Union Ave Ida Ave o* F— Q SS arhAve v) z u W 04ccl• 04 Lu • ti w aammyave • �e • 167hAx �`" Merr2Ave Wasningkon Aw U J„ �� "XterAte 7th Aug v N O -5 O.1 Planned Multi -Use Trail Planned Signed Striped Bike Route loe Planned Signed S Shared Bike Route • ce^, ,4 E • *9000000**009960* • v 6: Transportation Si Mobility 79 • MIL: - 0.2 9-t At •± :71bi/me Multi -Use TraiI s � Bike Lane - ��•� • l�ih Ate Sharrow 4• • cn � o* F— Q SS arhAve v) z u W 04ccl• 04 Lu • 74th Ave �45j w • 15[h Ave • 167hAx 6: Transportation Si Mobility 79 WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY RAILROADS An active Canadian National (CN) rail line runs through the eastern portion of the study area in a north -south direction. Roughly 26-30 trains per day utilize the rail line. It extends from Fond du Lac through Oshkosh, heading north to Neenah, Menasha, and Appleton. The rail line and switching lines form a physical barrier between Pioneer Island and the properties to the west along S. Main. North of the Fox River, the rail line runs at grade along Broad Street, forming the eastern boundary of the study area and cutting off properties along Bay Shore Drive from the rest of the Center City. With no grade -separated railroad crossings, the rail line threatens connectivity between adjacent neighborhoods, Pioneer Island, and the Center City. The height of the railroad bridge over the Fox River creates an additional barrier which disrupts boat travel and blocks extension of the Riverwalk further east to Lake Winnebago. In addition, the rail line acts as a major barrier to lakefront development and investment to the south of the Center City stud area. While the feasibility and cost of grade separations, new brid€ construction, and other projects can be prohibitive, the City shout still consider projects of various sizes which could help overcome the physical barrier created by the railroad. MITIGATING RAIL IMPACT Grade Separated Crossings - The City should coordinate with Canadian National to install various grade -separated automobile and pedestrian crossings along the railroad right-of-way. These crossings will act as short-term solutions which complement the long-term goals described. Regardless of whether the railroad will be relocated or not, grade -separated crossings will support continued investment and greater connectivity that is essential to the short- and long-term success of Oshkosh's Center City. Improvements shoinclude, at a minimum: automobile crossings both north and south of ns of the Riverwalk on both sides of parated pedestrian crossings along Broad Street rated�and Streetscaping-The City should also complete a i g project along the railroad where it runs parallel to Broad ` reet. This project should aim to better define railroad, automobile, and pedestrian rights-of-way and increase overall safety within the area. The streetscaping project should include the �)llowing improvements: Update all crossings with pedestrian amenities including marked crosswalks, pedestrian railroad gates, and pedestrian refuge islands between the roadway and rail lines. Repave Broad Street and all railroad crossings to smooth out elevation changes and replace rough timbers with durable rubber or concrete surfaces. Construct a continuous curb and install a fence or barrier between the railroad and roadway to clearly mark rights-of-way and discourage pedestrians from crossing the tracks mid -block. Incorporate beautification elements, such as landscaping, decorative streetlights, or new railroad gates, to decrease the relatively industrial character and improve the overall appearance of the corridor. 80 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy CFI. -FR CITY PUBLIC TRANSIT WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY u, P o� �h 0 Baldwin Ave Prospect Ave Maim Ave Scott Ave StedingAve 0 Q UncolnAve a, MerrittAve ashingon Ave Sch�iAve e �° krogve of e Ceopeq e ti e� 6, Transportation � Mobility 81 y I 4 'dam /� rxt Y vi st Sr %, Ilk' y g + f 1 1 14 rr , -T WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY CIVIC & INST"TIONAL Successful downtowns often have a significant civic and serve as the focal point for civic activity, facilitie Oshkosh Center City is home to several civic uses Hall, Oshkosh Public Library, Winnebago Count US Post Office, Convention Center, and more.

While communities across the country have seen civic institutions move outside of the city center to accommodate growing facility needs, Oshkosh has retained its civic core, and this is a great thing. government entities with Center City facilities, and work creatively and diligently to retain the uses and facilities in the core of the community. A strong civic core helps to anchor and establish the Center City as a vital part of every Oshkosh resident's experience and community identification, further solidifying the importance of the Center City. The most significant challenge of having a large civic component in a downtown is that it is not a revenue generating land use, in terms of property tax. However, due to the size and economic strength of the Oshkosh Center City, the civic uses serve as an appropriately scaled tax-exempt use within the overall matrix of tax -generating uses and activities located in the Center City. Further, the civic uses more than offset their tax exempt status by bringing in hundreds of employees and visitors a day into the Center City to shop, dine, and recreate. 84 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS Understanding both the positive impacts and challenges of a large civic presence in downtown, the City should work to retain civic buildings and facilities within the Center City. ■ Maintain open communication wi ve t departments and agencies regarding their futu plans and S. ■ Work cooperatively with governrnt departmen r agencies to retain government agencies within the Cent ty and address specific facility issues as they ■ In the event that a department or agency eds to downsize or minimize costs, work collaboratively to analyze the potential for facility consolidation which would keep that body within the Center City. ■ In the event that consolidation or relocation outside the Center City is necessary, seek adaptive reuse of historic structures and facilities, possibly for use by other government bodies in need of facility expansion. 7: Civic � Institutional Resources 85 WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY CIVIC & INSTITUTIONAL RESOURCES GOAL BALANCE THE PRESENCE OF THE UNIVERSITY _ The Center City is directly neighbored by the University of Wisconsi Oshhosh on the west, which employs roughly 1,300 people and enrolls over 13,000 studentsN%eClty ough the University's campus is not located within the study area, western portio thcater to the student population, including fraternities and sororities, student ing, fasblishments, and numerous pizza delivery restaurants.

While these uses are not exclusive to students, when grouped together they can challenge the character and perceived nature of an area. Over time, many college towns develop a "campustown," that is, a neighborhood or commercial area that is understood to be student -oriented, and generally not catering to or accommodating of other groups, particularly young children, teenagers, and families. Understanding the relationship between these two separate areas, the City should take a careful and balanced approach to the University of Wisconsin — Oshkosh. This should include efforts to incorporate the University within the Center City and capitalize on the activity generated by the institution, while protecting against potential negative impacts. Primary to this direction should be close communication and coordination with the University itself. This will help ensure that new strategies or improvements are in the best interest of both the University and the Center City. khe Northwest Transition and Marion Road Waterfront functional Gbareas are located directly between the Downtown Core and the University of Wisconsin — Oshkosh. The City should treat these two subareas as a transitional zone, which supports both the University and Center City. These two subareas differ considerably from development found elsewhere in the Center City, which can be partially contributed to the presence of the University. Over time, student -oriented residential and commercial options have developed within both sub -areas. The Waterfront subarea has proven to be more prone to development, and the Northwest Transition subarea has a more traditional neighborhood setting. While student -oriented uses will remain a reality of these subareas, the City should take steps to maintain and enhance the overall appearance and character of the area. Property maintenance and upkeep of student housing should be a priority so as not to let the area suffer from deferred maintenance and dilapidation. Commercial uses in these areas should be held to the same design and aesthetic standards and upkeep as other commercial uses in the Center City. Student -oriented uses should be encouraged to locate within these two subareas, rather than other parts of the Center City. That said, many uses in the Center City appeal to students and non -students alike. The trick is finding the balance so as to prevent the greater Center City area from being known as a college bar scene. 86 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY STREETSCAPING REC.#414ENDATIONS & WAYFINDING • Reg-*CommunNtheeraction Maintain close communication with the University regiority issues and opportunities, with a Both the Northwest Transition and Marion Road Waterfront subareas particularcus obetween the Center City and would benefit from streetscaping enhancements along High Un iversityK campus.

For example, streetscaping improvements can be tied to other public works and maintenance projects or completed collaboratively with new developments or renovations. In general, streetscaping enhancements should mimic the style of those recently completed along N. Main Street in order to create a unified and collective appearance to the Center City. However; the intensity of streetscaping must be responsive to the context of distinct roadways, taking into account traffic counts, right-of-way width, roadway jurisdiction, adjacent uses, and other contributing factors. Further, long-term projects may be affected by issues or changes that arise in the future. Thus, the completed streetscaping along N. Main Street should be utilized as a set of best practices which can be applied throughout the study area as appropriate. n the study area.

Streetscaping appearance of Center City in a significant nerating positive momentum for future n convey a sense of community pride. The highest intensity streetscaping should focus on creating enhanced pedestrian environments. Sidewalks should be as wide as possible per right-of-way widths to provide an enlarged pedestrian realm and allow opportunities for outdoor dining. To make walking more pleasant for pedestrians, visually interesting details such as landscaping, water features, wayfinding and gateway signage, and street -level retail should be incorporated. Sidewalks should be buffered from the automobile right-of-way using on -street parking, landscaping, bump -outs, and other amenities. By featuring various pedestrian -friendly elements, these roadways should be inviting and provide a unique environment for individuals to spend their time in the Center City. Lower intensity streetscaping enhancements should focus on balancing the pedestrian realm and automobile right-of-way to ensure that all modes of transportation are managed safely and efficiently. These improvements should be adapted to specific roadways with regard to scale and types of amenities included. For example, as a higher traffic roadway located on the periphery of the Center City, Wisconsin 44 should not feature the same intensity of pedestrian amenities as N. Main Street. 116 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY STREETSCAPING PRIORITIZATION Roadways within the study area have been categorized as part of a streetscaping prioritization, intended to provide the City with a guide as to where streetscaping projects will yield greatest impact. These kinds of improvements require careful scheduling, coordination of funding, and cooperation with other jurisdictional bodies. Thus, it is highly important that the City knows where available funding and effort should be spent with regard to short - and long-term streetscaping projects. Roadways have been categorized as follows based upon traffic counts and patterns, visibility, and their role within the existing transportation network. PRIORITY 4 (RESIDENTIAL STREETS) Streets designated as Priority 4 are largely residential in nature and as such, should not be cited for dedicated streetscaping enhancement projects. However, the appearance of these roadways will contribute to the overall character of the Center City. As such, the City should regularly review these roadways and complete regular maintenance to avoid deterioration. This should include roadway and sidewalk repairs, street cleaning, repaving, and other basic upkeep. If opportunities arise, smaller streetscaping enhancements may be implemented, such as landscaping, decorative lighting fi tures, or introduction of street trees SIDEWALK ZONES & FUNCTION PRIORITY 1 (HIGH PRIORITY) Sidewalks with}nthe core o he study area generally fall in line Streets designated as Priority 1 should receive first consideration with sidewalk zone best practices. Well-functioning sidewalks for streetscape improvements and be the focus of a dedicated consist of four distinct "zones" of activity that provide for a safe and enhancement projects within the next 2-3 years. These roadway comfortable pedestrian experience. The zones include a frontage are highly visible and often accommodate the highest volume of e to buffer the building from pedestrians and allow space for automobile and pedestrian traffic within the Center City. Priority er andise displays; a pedestrian zone that is free of 1 streetscape enhancements will have the highest impac n the ac r people to travel; a furniture/utility zone for trees, character and appearance of the Center City. lanters, and light and utility poles; and a curb zone that serves as a transition area between the sidewalk and road. PRIORITY 2 (MEDIUM PRIORITY) Streets designated as Priority 2 should receive second con ideratio OTH ER STREETSCAPE for streetscape improvements and be the focus of a dedicated enhancement projects within the next 4-5 years. These roadways IMPROVEMENTS provide support for many of the highest visibility areas of the Center City but do not have the same visual impact or traffic counts as Priority 1 roadways. Priority 2 stree e enhance ents will contribute to an improved pedestrian ex nce ' e Center City and support future growth and investment. PRIORITY 3 (LOW PRIORITY) Streets designated as Priority 3 should receive third consideration for streetscape improvements and be the focus of a dedicated enhancement projects within the next 6-10 years. These roadways experience less frequent traffic and have low visibility compared to higher priority roadways. Priority 3 roadways comprise many of the central roadways for functional subareas outside of the Downtown Core. Priority 3 streetscape enhancements will help to elevate the appearance of individual subareas and allow for improvements to the character of distinct areas of the Center City. Given the success of the recently completed streetscaping along N. Main Street, additional projects should include similar improvements and aim to expand the distinct character and atmosphere. While other streetscaping improvements have been made in the past, the enhancements made along N. Main Street should be utilized as an example of best practices. Further, the City should seek opportunities to improve upon the existing and future streetscaping by incorporating best practices and new innovations which will enhance the pedestrian realm and contribute to a distinct sense of place. 9: Urban Design � Public Spaces 117 WORKING DRAFT =0t �'-V -Vn/ 0\ Y CFI.-F- STREETSCAPE PRIORITIZATION ,_ti' yt iuY, r`A.V, Prospect Ave Mdwn Ave ScottAve r SCedingAve I mcnin AvP Ave 5th St 6th Ave I 7th Ave V) 118 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy z g o N O O.OS O.1 0.2 9th Ave. O co 10th ave Priorty 1 Wl� Previously Enhanced nth Ave Streetscape _ 0 Priority2 Priority3 12th Ave 0 Priority 4 South ParhAve 14th Ave 15th Ave 16th Ave V) 118 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY BEST PRACTICES & NEW INNOVATIONS OUTDOOR DINING & ACTIVITIES Oshkosh Center City should promote opportunities for restaurants to feature outdoor patios and rooftop decks. Outdoor dining should be designed in a way that doesn't impact pedestrian circulation., The character and materials used should be in line with the character of its principal structure. Outdoor activities do not need to be limited to dining. The Center City can provide opportunities for community events and festivals. Live music, art fairs, farmers markets, and more will attract to people the Center City and continually promote the area on a local and regional level. BUMP OUTS Bump outs are curb extensions th mp out" int e right-of- way to reduce the distance that pede s have to ss, increase visibility for both vehicles and pedestria ame p , ng lanes, and slow vehicular traffic. Bump outs should be considered for all primary and secondary intersections, where right-of-way widths and traffic patterns allow. UTILITY BURIAL/RELOCATED Above -ground utilities can be unsightly and contribute to an unattractive or industrialized appearance. As appropriate, the City should take advantage of opportunities to bury utilities or relocate them to the rear of sites as an alternative. Understanding the high cost of burying utilities, these improvements may not be feasible in some areas and should be considered a long-term project. PARKLETS Parklets armporary extensions of the sidewalk into the parking lane al the street. They create spaces for people to sit and enj eir surroundings. They can also be used by restaurants for ai(i dini opportunities or to support specific events and s. GATEWAY & WAYFINDING SIGNAGE In an effort to announce one's arrival into the Center City, gateway features should be employed in key locations. Gateway features can be achieved through signage at the ground level or through unique architectural elements. Attractive landscaping, lighting, and other vertical design features should complement the signage and architectural elements. Wayfinding signage assists people in finding important community landmarks, while enhancing the streetscape. Similar to gateway features, wayfinding should consist of signage complemented by landscaping and lighting. Wayfinding features should be in key locations to direct people to destinations in the Center City such as the Riverwalk or Opera House Square. 9: Urban Design � Public Spaces 119 WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY PAINTED CROSSWALKS Colorfully painted crosswalks can be a fun alte The vibrant geometric shapes are easily visible pedestrian safety.

The towers provide WiFi, phone calls, device ch"rging,. d a tablet for access to city services, maps, and directions. The City should consider the development of similar WiFi pillars within the Center City. These could be developed in cooperation with an Innovation District or Amplify Oshkosh,. MTERACTIVE ART Streetscaping projects provide a significant opportunity to corporate public art within the pedestrian realm. The City should explore opportunities to incorporate interactive art displays which invite residents to become involved with the environment around them, such as the Lucerne Shrine project. For more information on integrating art and interactive displays within the Center City, see Arts & Cultural Resources (Page 89). LUCERNE SHRINE The Lucerne Shrine project in Lucerne, Switzerland was aimed and discouraging residents from littering the streets and sidewalks with t sh. Mazes, hopscotch boxes, and three point lines were painted around trash receptacles to make the act of throwing out trash more fun. 120 Imagine Oshkosh j Center City Reinvestment Strategy WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE Green Infrastructure is an approach to infrastructure design with an emphasis on stormwater management that attempts to mimic the natural hydrological cycle within the built environment. Green® infrastructure aims to reduce the travel time, volume, pollutant load of the water by treating the water at its source. A range of green infrastructure strategies exist that can be incorporated into future streetscape improvements,.,include: Tree Boxes The tree box is comprised of an undergrVanative, storage chamber containing engineered soil menon-invasive trees or shrubs. The filter media mixture immobilizes pollutants and treated water is allowed to infiltrate or enter an underdrain system. Tree boxes can be installed in the right-of-way between the curb and sidewalk, in curb bump outs, and medians. A variety of surfaces permit water to pass through while trapping Inspended solids and filtering pollutants. Permeable pavers can be corporated into walkways and areas where vegetation might not thrive or be appropriate. They can be used to distinguish bike lanes from motorized travel lanes and replace parking areas, alleyways, driveways, sidewalks, and crosswalks. Bioretention Areas Bioretention areas are depressed vegetated areas that collect runoff from impervious surfaces, filter water through plant roots, and slowly infiltrate to subgrade or underdrain. This can include bioswales and rain gardens. Water enters bioretention areas via curb cuts or at grade. Sections existing of impermeable surfaces along streetscape can be removed to create a depressed, vegetated area able to receive and filter stormwater. 9: Urban Design � Public Spaces 121 WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY URBAN DESIGN & PUBLIC SPACES GOAL IMPROVE AND ACTIVATE CENTER CITY' Center City Oshhosh is fortunate to have several public spaces, in Riverside Park Leach Amphitheater, Pioneer Drive Porh, and the Library. Together with the Fox River and Lahe Winnebago, on n walk from an attractive public gathering place. These typ spc the success of a downtown district and its position as t4 spaces, plazas, waterfronts, and other public spaces provi activities, and opportunities for residents to meets and PARKS AND OPEN SPACES The City should conduct a review of properties in the Center "---q City and establish a plan that identifies potential new parks and open spaces by functional subarea. This should include a prioritization schedule based on feasibility>nd availability of land and incorporate potential programming to create recreational opportunities. Further, prioritization should be based on contribution to an overall public space network and ` essibility both within the study area and to adjacent residerAW areas. SOUTHSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK Top prioritization should be given to developing a neighborhood park within a functional subarea south of the Fox River. These subareas lack public spaces and have poor access to existing parks and open space. Further, development of a park space will encourage greater residential growth and assist with efforts to revitalize previously industrial sites. PARKLAND DEDICATION IN THE CENTER CITY The City should provide incentives to incorporate public space as part of future development in the Center City. This could also be accomplished through development regulations that require a certain square footage of public space. This public space can be comprised of parks, open space, plazas, or other forms of public space, and should be specific to the size of the development property. Smaller properties should be allowed to pay a fee in lieu of including public space; however, larger properties should be required to include a minimum square footage. C SPACES Roe Parh, Opera House Square, 'oss from the Oshhosh Public than a few minutes' ices are elWmely important to �it of a community. Parhs, open ition for community events and me, and enjoy the outdoors. WRWRK e City s ouldd actively seek the development of a dedicated dog park within the Center City. A dog park could be included either as sown, separate park or as an improvement to an existing park cility. Depending on the success of an initial dog park on the north side of the river, the City should consider adding a second dog park within a functional subarea south of the Fox River, such as in the South Shore East or Oregon Street subareas. PUBLIC PLAZAS & POCKET PARKS While parks and open spaces provider greater versatility and more dedicated recreational spaces, they can be difficult to site and develop within a dense urban center. To ensure that the Center City still has ample public spaces, parks and open spaces can be complimented by public plazas and pocket parks. Public plazas constitute any publicly accessible open area that provides outdoor public space, often including a water feature, art display, benches, or landscaping. Pocket parks are green spaces located on very small lots, often located between buildings on formerly vacant lots. These serve as an oasis within an urban environment. The City should work with property owners, developers, and existing businesses to identify opportunities for public plazas, pocket parks, and other smaller public spaces. They should incorporate thoughtful design, public art, water features, and other programming improvements as appropriate. As previously discussed, the City should provide incentives to incorporate public space as part of future development in the Center City. This could also be accomplished through development regulations that require a certain square footage of public space. 122 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY e' o� (ENTER CITY � PARKS & New York Ave OPEN SPACES Baldwin Ave Prosp&- Ave Melvon Ave Scott Ave I StedingAve in 0 Q Lincoln Ave — /45 IrvingAve UNIVERSITY OF v WISCONSIN, OSHKOSH Z ��o, Union Ave Ida Ave Zi y que ". 0��`-J ParhwayAvuve A� P c��LF Q9, d� , LY MemttAve L - V) q Z Washington Ave � U in � in d � LLI L __- 3,dSP K E Ln k V Qt "Avr- O L �L 4MAve 2LL O L'LLLLL L LLk-LLLL�� L CeopeAo � e � • - , 5th St L L LLL LL 6th Ave � ��V,LLL s � 7th Aue(4� LL .

While many other downtowns in the region are located on or near water, Oshkosh's waterfront allows anyone to walk right up to the waterfront and relax, hop into a boat, or launch a kayak. For example, in Downtown Appleton, steep bluffs separate the waterfront from Downtown, and portions of Neenah's Downtown waterfront remain private residential or industrial properties, and are not accessible to the public. The City should continue to activate local waterfronts aique assets and extensions of the existing public spaces within the Center City. Further, improvements along the watyfiront should help to connect the north and south shores. Cu ntly, the established subareas are largely separated by the river as.a natural barrier. This can create a feeling of disconnect betwe e north and south shore and create the impre at the Ce It is actually two distinct areas. Impro ents to the riverfro including both public spaces and e developmInill help place greater emphasis on the river importaet of the Center City. In turn, this will convert the Iver fr dividing barrier into a link which brings the north and south shore together into a single, unified district. COMPLETING THE RIVERWALK The Oshkosh Riverwalk is one of the community's most cherished amenities and a world class asset. When completed, the Riverwalk will be a nearly continuous loop along both sides of the Fox River from Wisconsin Street in the west to Lake Winnebago in the east, connecting with the University of Wisconsin -Oshkosh and the Wiouwash Trail. At present, the northern shore of the project is complete while the south shore portion remains mostly incomplete. The City should continue to complete segments of the Riverwalk as funding becomes available, particularly eastward where it can provide access to Lake Winnebago. The City should consider planning an extension of the north shore Riverwalk east beyond the railroad to connect to Lake Winnebago and adjacent neighborhoods. In addition, the Riverwalk should include north and south extensions to adjacent developments where appropriate. n Potential extensions could connect the route to the Downtown Core, Pion - lain` e Morgan District development, or other riverfro evelopme iews and access to the Riverwalk should be ized and enha whenever and wherever possible. °KENNEBAGO While the river plays a more prominent role in the Center City, the study area does border Lake Winnebago, which is a considerable lkiLt for tty of Oshkosh. However, lakefront properties C ter City are currently comprised of a marina and F ac ioneer Island. The City should take advantage of any ortunities to further promote water-based recreation, should � ey arise. Potential redevelopment of the Pioneer Island property ould include some form of public space to be tied in with the planned Riverwalk extensions; however, this will depend largely on development details. WATERFRONT PARK Just east of the railroad on the north side of the Fox River is a currently vacant waterfront property. The City should explore opportunities to purchase this property and develop an additional waterfront park. This facility could link to an eastern extension of the Riverwalk and help to create a network of waterfront green spaces. In addition, the position of the property would help to connect adjacent residential neighborhood to the Center City. The size of the property could support a variety of programming improvements, such as a beach volleyball court, skate park, or tennis courts. "PULLING" THE WATERFRONT INLAND A key approach to developing the waterfront areas is to not wall off the waterfront with adjacent development. It is important that the waterfront presence be felt and seen as far inland as possible. Appropriate spacing between building and the maintaining and enhancing of view corridors to the water is essential, in order to maximize the waterfront for the entire Center City and not just the inhabitants of the development adjacent to the water's edge. 124 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy M� WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY WATER TRAFFIC IMPROVED The Fox River connects Lake Winnebago to Lake Butte des Morts.

In addition, the City should develop waterfront signage and gateway elements specifically for boats entering the Center City. Oshkosh's ties to boating and water-based recreation should be kept in mind for all elements of the Center City's image, such as promotional materials, branding, wayfinding and gateway signage, or public art. Incorporating this theme to the Center City, particularly close to the riverfront, will help promote Oshkosh as a "boat -friendly" community. Existing spaces, such as this small plaza (William Waters Plaza) across from the Oshkosh Public Library, could be improved with public art, landscaping, a checkers/chess table, or other interactive pieces. Planned improvements are underway. 9: Urban Design � Public Spaces 125 WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY IMPLEMENTATION This final chapter of Imagine Oshkosh presents two fundamental components to assist with the City in implementing the plan: Incentives and Tools & Center City Partners. Drawing on these essential resources the as an implementation framework the City can begin to initiate and undertake key recommendations of Imagine Oshkosh For Imagine Oshkosh to be successful, it must be based on support and participation between the City, other public agencies, varioA neighborhood groups and organizations, the local business community, property owners, developers, and residents. TheCity should be the leader in promoting cooperation and collafcxation with these and other community stakeholders to implement Imagine Oshkosh. INCkfeeES & TOOLS The Cit ate, governements offer various incentives to enc e economic development and improvements to existing 4p ies. Tsection details some of the available incentives and that could be used to generate desired the redevelopment and development scenarios recommended in Imagine Oshkosh. DEOPMENT DISTRICTS (CITY) Okosh, based on recommendations in the reurthprre sive Plan, created several redevelopment districts to pre efforts and align resources and funding. �The main source of public funding has been through the use of x Increment Financing (TIF) for the purpose of enhancing the economic conditions required for private investment. There are eight designated Redevelopment Areas within the project study area, depicted on the accompanying map. Imagine Oshkosh will determine whether or not these existing districts need to be updated in terms of geography or whether new districts should be created to guide recommendations. 10: Implementation 127 WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY TAX INCREMENTAL FINANCING (CITY) TIF is the most common economic development tool utilized by Wisconsin cities to spur development. Authorized by the state legislature in 1975, TIF allows municipalities to fund infrastructure and other improvements within a designated area by capturing increased property tax revenue. Approval of TIF districts falls to a Joint Review Board consisting of the City, County, School District, and Fox Valley Technical College. For a TIF to be approved, among other factors, the developer must meet the "but for" test (i.e., the new development would not be feasible if not for the use of a TIF. TIF districts must fall under one of four district types: Blighted District, Rehabilitation or Conservation District, Industrial District, and Mixed -Use District. This classification is based on which of tr four land uses is predominant in the Tax Increment Di tT,ID) area.

The HTC provides an un ed, 20 pert edit for qualified rehabilitation experi7s. Eligible buildinpWst be recommended by the State Historic Presedation Officer SHPO) as a certified historic property. P ties that are not eligible because they are not certified hist c buildings may also quality for the credit if the building was placed in service before 1936 and has not been relocated. IC PRESERVATION AX REDITS (FEDERAL) The U.S. government offers two federal income tax credits that an facilitate restoration and rehabilitation of historic and older uildings. The credits include: 20% Federal Tax Credit A 20 percent income tax credit is available for the rehabilitation of historic, income -generating buildings that are determined by the Secretary of the Interior, through the National Park Service, to be "certified historic structures." The State Historic Preservation Office and the National Park Service review the rehabilitation work to ensure that it complies with the Secretary's Standards for Rehabilitation. The Internal Revenue Service defines qualified rehabilitation expenses on which the credit may be taken. Owner -occupied residential properties do not qualify for the federal rehabilitation tax credit. 10% Federal Tax Credit. The 10 percent tax credit is available for the rehabilitation of non -historic buildings placed in service before 1936. The building must be rehabilitated for non- residential use. To qualify for the tax credit, the rehabilitation must meet three criteria: at least 50 percent of the existing external walls must remain in place as external walls; at least 75 percent of the existing external walls must remain in place as either external or internal walls; and at least 75 percent of the internal structural framework must remain in place. There is no formal review process for rehabilitations of non -historic buildings. 128 Imagine Oshkosh I Center City Reinvestment Strategy WORKING DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY REVOLVING LOAN FUND ENTERPRISE ZONE TAX PROGRAM (CITY/EDC) CREDIT (STATE) In 2014, the City established the Revolving Loan Fund Program Enterprise Zone Tax Credits are available through the Wisconsin in partnership with Greater Oshkosh Economic Development Economic De ent Corporation to assist Wisconsin businesses Corporation.

As Imagine Oshkosh is being developed, it is expected that the organizations reviewed in this section will have a role in plan implementation. Please no that this chapter is a working list that is evolving and should not considered exhaustive. "WHO'S OUR LEADER & CHAMPION?" During the outreach process, it was communicated, particularly in stakeholder interviews, that economic development leadership within the Center City is divided between different organizations, and that the Center City lacks a central " mpion" with dicated resources. Referencing the success o h ntown Neena, interviewee asked: "Who is our Jo , ergstrom?' Ano er ex mple cited was the not-for-profit Downtoppleton, In . This does not mean that progress is not*g m or that organizations do not work well together, but y suggests that greater efficiency and progress could be achieved through better cohesion, clearer roles, and an aligning of resources. The most prominent groups for economic development within Center City are the Business Improvement District (this jurisdiction only covers a portion of the study area), City of Oshkosh, Greater Oshkosh EDC, and Chamber of Commerce. Imagine Oshkosh's Implementation Action Matrix (pages 126-135) should help clarify existing roles and establish a framework for clear leadership roles and responsibilities within the Center City, starting with existing resources that are already available.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Jeffrey Nau — Associate Planner DATE: November 8, 2017 SUBJECT: Approval 2018 Downtown Oshkosh Business Improvement District Operating Plan and Budget BACKGROUND The Downtown Oshkosh Business Improvement District (BID) Board is required to develop an annual Operating Plan which includes a budget and calculation of assessment according to the statutory formula. The contents of the Plan are mandated by Statute and have been approved by the City Attorney as consistent with statutory requirements. The BID is a self -assessing entity and receives no direct City funding for their operating budget. The Common Council's role is to review and approve or deny the plan/budget as presented. Any suggested changes or alterations to the plan or budget must be referred back to the BID Board for their consideration. ANALYSIS The BID Board approved their 2017 Operating Plan and Budget at a special meeting on October 31st. The proposed assessment for the BID is $132,860, which represents a decrease of $3,050 (-2.24%) from the 2017 assessment. With the implementation of the $400 minimum and $8,000 maximum special assessments in 2016, results of the city-wide reevaluation and mechanics of the assessment formula, ten of the 114 assessable properties will see increases to their assessment, 67 properties will see decreases and 37 properties will remain unchanged. One change to note is the BID Board included the Frontenac apartment building located at 132 High Avenue to the assessment roll. The property has not been assessed from the inception of the BID in 1987 due to its use being residential and classed commercial from an assessment standpoint. The BID will continue its efforts of enhancing and promoting the Downtown through its beatification and advertising/marketing programs as well to assist new and existing BID businesses with its Recruitment and Retention Fund Grant programs. The BID will also maintain support of key downtown events including the Saturdays Farmers Market, Waterfest, Live at Lunch, Chalk Walk and Holiday events. Starting this year, the BID has taken over the City Hall • 215 Church Avenue • P.O. Box 1 130 • Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us organization and planning of the Downtown Holiday Parade from the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce. In 2017 the BID Board committed $20,000 towards implementation of Walker's Parking Consultant's Phase I recommendations approved by Council. Phase I includes new parking lot signage, website enhancements, marketing downtown parking and creation of a residential parking program. To date, all of the downtown public parking lots have been renamed and designs for the parking lot signage have been completed. Construction of the signs will be conducted in-house by the Sign Division and are expected to be installed by late November. As Walker's Plan is further implemented and policies/regulations evolve, the BID Board requires continued collaboration between the City and BID pertaining to future changes to parking regulations and policies within the Downtown area. For 2018, the BID Board has approved $15,000 to support the City's Parking Utility. The BID Board has indicated that this amount is from their reserves and that the City can expect no additional BID support for the Parking Utility in the future. As a whole, the assessed property value of the BID is currently $59,968,700 which is an increase of $2,178,900 (3.6%) over 2017. Property improvements to the Washington Building and inclusion of the Frontenac Building are the biggest contributors to this increase. FISCAL IMPACT The BID is a self -assessing entity and receives no direct City funding for their operating budget. In terms of fiscal impact on BID property owners, most assessable properties will have minor varying increases or decreases to their assessments. As part of the downtown beautification efforts, the BID will continue annual maintenance of the planters and landscaping located throughout the BID including public parking lots. RECOMMENDATION The BID Board approved their 2018 Operating Plan and Budget at its Special October 31, 2017 meeting.

The Plan recommended increasing organizational efforts between the public and private sectors as well as establishing a voluntary special assessment district. A follow-up study, Planning Report - Central City Oshkosh, approved by the Common Council in 1987, expanded various elements of the previous plan and in particular recommended the creation of a management vehicle and funding base to serve the downtown area. The management tool recommended was a Business Improvement District. The Downtown Oshkosh Business Improvement District -(BID) is an essential entity to the Central Business District of Oshkosh. The BID, created in 1987, has maintained its initial premise to retain available free parking in the downtown, as well as proactively support revitalization efforts. Through the BID, property owners assess themselves to pay for activities to enhance and improve the downtown and to bring customers to the area. The downtown continues to change as the mix of residential, commercial and professional occupants fill the district. The BID welcomes these changes as opportunities to continue economic development in our central city. On April 6, 1984, the State of Wisconsin passed a law (Act 184), which allows for the creation of Business Improvement Districts. The law authorizes cities, villages, and towns to create one or more business improvement districts to allow businesses within those districts to develop, manage, maintain, and promote their districts and to establish an assessment method to fund these activities. A BID must be a geographic area within a municipality consisting of contiguous parcels that are subject to real estate taxes. The formation of a Business Improvement District allows downtown business people, property owners, merchants, City officials and others to work together to determine what needs to be done to upgrade and strengthen the downtown and to pay the cost of those efforts, in whole or in part. It is a way for downtown stakeholders to decide what they want and to finance it. A BID is the best available method for business people to organize, coordinate marketing and promotion efforts, provide management and maintenance programs, and encourage business development. It affords property owners and business people a viable role in directing those affairs within the district. It also ensures that all beneficiaries of District programs participate in the funding of the programs. Appendix C is a copy of the Wisconsin Statutes Section 66.1109, regarding business improvement districts. 2 DOWfiTOWA OSHKOSH DOWNTOWN OSHKOSH BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT 2018 OPERATING PLAN AND ASSESSMENT The Downtown Oshkosh BID has established allocations for the 2018 Operating Plan for each program category after reviewing previously supported activities and soliciting proposals for events.

In addition, Board members represent different areas within the District, including large and small businesses. As a City entity, the Board will conduct its affairs under the open meetings law and public record requirements. The Director of Community Development or designee serves as the Secretary of the Board. Board meetings are held the third Tuesday of the month, starting at 8:00am, at Becket's Restaurant. A roster of the 2017 BID Board members is included as Appendix E. The Board is responsible for the management of the Business Improvement District. Responsibilities of the Board include implementing the Operating Plan and preparing annual reports on the District. The Board will also annually consider and make changes to the Operating Plan and submit the Operating Plan to the Common Council for approval. RELATIONSHIP TO DOWNTOWN PLANNING Creation of the business improvement district promotes the orderly development of the municipality by implementing recommendations of the City Comprehensive Plan and Downtown Action Plan'that contain various elements related to downtown design and development with prominent focus on. beautification in BID areas as well as the promotion of downtown tourism. In 2000, the Common Council adopted the Downtown Action Plan, which contains various elements related to downtown design and development with prominent focus on redevelopment and beautification in BID areas. The Downtown Oshkosh Business Improvement District is consistent with and critical to the continued successful implementation_ of these downtown plans. The BID enables the private sector to undertake promotion, management, marketing, and other programs essential to a prosperous downtown. DOWNTOWN OSHKOSH BID ASSESSMENT METHOD The new Downtown Oshkosh Business Improvement District special assessment method utilizes assessed value information and property street footage data, both of which are available from the City Assessor's Office. As the absolute values of assessed value and footage cannot be combined, the values are calculated as a percentage of the total assessed value and a percentage of the street footage. The two percentages are added with the sum divided by 200 percent, which results in a proportionate value of the total district. Started in 2016, the BID will implement a minimum special assessment of $400.00 and a maximum special assessment of $8,000.00. Properties with a proportionate value between 0.0000% and 0.24196% are assessed the minimum special assessment of $400.00. Properties with a proportionate value. greater than 4.83917% are assessed the maximum special assessment of $8,000.00. For properties with a proportionate value between 0.24196% and 4.83917% - The property's proportionate value is multiplied by $1,653.177, resulting in the special assessment for the property, 6 j DOUJfi wn OSHKOSH For example, 101 Algoma Blvd. has a Proportionate Value of 0.25221%. When multiplied by $1,653.177, the special assessment is $416.95. 0.25221% x $1,653.177 = $416.95. The raw, data, assessment calculations, and proposed District assessment for each property in the Downtown Oshkosh Business Improvement District are presented in Appendix B. The data for the assessment method have been obtained from the files of the City Assessor and are subject to final tabulation by the City. To account for street front foofages, the frontage of the property's primary address as identified by the City Assessor is used. Properties with more than one street. frontage are not combined. Only property used for commercial and manufacturing purposes, including real property used exclusively for manufacturing purposes, in the District will be assessed. Real property used exclusively for residential purposes will not be assessed. 7 OownTOwn OSHKOSH APPENDIX A 2018 BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BUDGET REVENUE - 2018 ASSESSMENT $132,860.00 EXPENSES' $132,860.00 Leadership $60,000.00 Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce Service Contract (BID Manager) $60,000.00 Recruitment & Retention Grant Programs $10,000.00 Recruitment Fund Grant Retention Grant Program $10,000.00 Events $5,500.00 Waterfest $2,000.00 Live at Lunch $500.00 unWINEd-Wine Walk $500.00 Holiday Parade $2,500.00 Advertising (plus rollover of any amount left from 2017) $15,000.00 $15,000.00 Gift Card Program $1,050.00 $1,050.00 Marketing Consortium $3,000.00 Membership Fees Additional Activities & Marketing Materials $850.00 Holiday $2000.00 Chalk Walk $150.00 Beautification $37,650.00 Contracted Services $24,300.00 Holiday $6,250.00 Planter Maintenance $7,100.00 Parking $0.00 ($15,000 out of reserves/capital improvements) Storage Unit $660.00 Reserves/Capital Improvements $660.00 ($55,000.00 roughly to start with in 2018) 8 AR oownrown OSHKOSH R;rpt-16S-a 0 2018 DOWNTOWN OSHKOSH BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ASSESSMENT ROLL BUDGET OF S132.HAMM S4nn nn MINIMUM %A nnn nn MAYIMUM eCCPCCMPAIT* PARCEL NO.

Stats., which calls for a legal opinion that certain requirements are met in the operating plan. It is my opinion that requirements as set forth in Section 66.1109(1)(f) have been met. The operating plan includes a provision indicating the special assessment method applicable to the BID. Real property used exclusively for manufacturing purposes will be assessed under the plan. A description of the kind, number, and location of the proposed expenditures within the BID is included as well as a description of the methods of financing to be used. The Plan specifies that all costs will be incurred during calendar year 2018. Finally, the operating plan contains the required description of how the BID promotes the orderly development of the municipality, including its relationship to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Downtown Action Plan.

The operating grant will cover approximately 30% of the 2018 projected expenses. GO Transit is applying for 2018 federal capital assistance in the amount of $1,200,000. The capital grant will cover 80% of capital expenses. The capital project is the purchase of three replacement diesel buses. 2) Wisconsin Department of Transportation Operating Grant GO Transit is applying for $1,232,676 in operating assistance from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. The proposed funding level is approximately 24.25% of operating expenses for calendar year 2018. 3) Winnebago County and Other Transportation Assistance Programs GO Transit will apply for $451,900 from Winnebago County. The programs funded are shown below: • ADA - Ambulatory Paratransit • ADA — Non -Ambulatory Paratransit City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us • Senior Paratransit • Rural Senior and Disabled Paratransit • Route 10 (Oshkosh to Neenah Bus Route) ANALYSIS East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission included this program of projects in their public participation process and their public notice for the Transportation Improvement Plan. The public was able to make comments on the social, economic and environmental aspects of the grant applications. No public comments were received. FISCAL IMPACT The 2018 City Budget assumed that the City would secure this grant funding. Without applying for this grant funding, the City will not be able to maintain existing service levels. Applying for these grants does not obligate the City to spend any money beyond what was designated in the 2018 City Budget. RECOMMENDATION The Transportation Department recommends the Common Council approve this resolution to submit these grant applications as presented. Please contact me if you have any questions. Respectfully Submitted, Jim Collins Transportation Director Approved: Mark Rohloff City Manager ITEM # 30 THERE ARE NO ATTACHMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ITEM r4 Cly r, f Oshkosh TO: Honorable Mayor & Members of the Common Council Mark Rohloff, City Manager FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director DATE: November 9, 2017 RE: Arena Construction, Public Improvements, Tax Increment Finance Plan, Timeline Buckstaff Demolition Complete with no changes. The City had rented equipment for $30,867 to date. Additional costs including repairs, supplies, erosion control, security fencing, and stone totaled $27,800. The cost for grinding the Buckstaff foundations into gravel for re -use came in at $53,000, under the $60,000 budgeted. Arena Construction The building is erected and enclosed. Interior work continues to be completed and the majority of the parking lot is installed. City Inspections Services staff have been on site multiple times a week completing inspections. Public Improvements The public infrastructure around the Arena is nearing completion. All concrete/asphalt pavement, sidewalks, and driveways are generally complete on E. 11th Ave, E. South Park Ave, E. 14th Ave, and the east side of S. Main Street. Landscaping and electrical work along S. Main St. will be completed in the next two weeks. The storm sewer outfall work on E. 14th Ave is complete up to the railroad as the city has not yet received approval from Canadian National to bore the storm sewer under the railroad yet. The water line was bore under the railroad and is complete. WEDC provided a grant for $250,000 to partially pay for planned public improvements around the arena. Lastly, the E. 11th Ave. and E. South Park Ave. projects included assessments to adjoining property owners and the developers of the arena. Tax Increment Finance Plan Staff and Ehlers finished work on a Pay -go - Tax Increment Finance Plan which will be needed to reimburse the developer for the public improvements the developer finances up front that are needed for the redevelopment of the Buckstaff/Arena site. In addition to the public improvement costs, the Arena designer/builder has identified some extraordinary private development costs for the site, due to the condition of the soils and fill material on the site: • $825,000 Remediation - Required by Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, including soil removal and land filling and/or encapsulating contaminates. • $760,000 Geo pier installation - necessary to support the Arena structure weight due to the poor soils; and Geo grid installation - necessary to support concrete and asphalt surfaces on the site due to the poor soils. • $234,000 Stormwater management measures - necessary due to the high groundwater levels. The above referenced extraordinary private development costs are estimated to be $1,819,000 and have been added to the TIF #31 Plan. Development Agreement Due to higher than anticipated construction costs, the developer requested that the existing Development Agreement approved in March 17, 2017 be amended to allow for the TIF reimbursement cap to be raised by $1.2 million and to not exceed $5,549,450. Council approved an amendment to the existing Development Agreement on October 24, 2017 allowing the developer to receive additional payments from the TIF provided sufficient funds are generated by the TIF to support such payments. Council also approved allowing future special assessments to be charged to the development for the paving and sidewalk work that will take place on the Arena property. This amount is estimated to be $215,532. Timeline Since the decision to locate the Bucks Developmental League Team in Oshkosh has been announced, we can establish a final timeline based on an Arena construction start date of February 27, 2017: January 12, 2017: Redevelopment Authority approves acquisition of the Buckstaff property(ies).

Mark Rohloff, City Manager FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Dii DATE: November 9, 2017 RE: TIF Policy Changes The Common Council conducted two workshops on TIF policy and implementation issues this past summer. Based on the comments that council members have provided, staff drafted three updates to critical elements of the TIF Plan: 1) Timeline, 2) Application scoring, and 3) Development Agreement parameters. These updates were provided to Common Council at the October 10th, 2017 Council meeting in draft form for review and comment. Based on Common Council input, staff has drafted new policies and are now updating the application to reflect those changes. Staff will bring the new application for Council approval as a next step. Below is a summary of the changes. Staff has incorporated the following changes to the TIF Timeline: • City Council input and direction on Development Agreement terms from the beginning. • Council updates throughout the process. • Council closed sessions regarding the proposed Development Agreement from the beginning, with additional opportunities throughout, as needed. • Council action on the TIF Plan first, then a subsequent meeting for action on the Development Agreement. • TIF Team review throughout the process. Staff has incorporated the following changes into the application scoring sheets: • More specific range of points for performance in the categories- based on the CIP scoring sheet model. • The Mixed -Use TIF scoring sheet has been created. Staff has created a Development Agreement outline for all TIF applications: • Clearly identifies proposed Development Agreement parameters such as pay -go dollar amounts, funding limits, and interest rates. • Sets expectations for look back clause for all TIFs, with two look backs for TIFs exceeding 20 years.
