RE: Approve Spot Blight Designation; Approve Acquisition of Property at 1202
Oshkosh Avenue ($175,000) and 1415 Rainbow Drive ($50,000)
BACKGROUND
The RDA has acquired properties around the Oshkosh Avenue and Sawyer Street intersection
for blight elimination and future reconstruction of the intersection. A Traffic Impact Analysis
for the Oshkosh Avenue Corridor has identified alternatives for the intersection improvements
at Oshkosh Avenue and Sawyer Street. Based on the alternatives, it appears 1202 Oshkosh
Avenue and 1415 Rainbow Drive are properties needed for the reconstruction of the intersection,
regardless of which option the City selects.
ANALYSIS
The property owner is a willing seller and there is no relocation needed for 1202 Oshkosh
Avenue or 1415 Rainbow Drive. Staff is proposing to allow the current tenant at 1415 Rainbow
Drive to continue to operate the Bait Shop until funds can be budgeted in a future capital
improvement program for the intersection reconstruction. 1202 Oshkosh Avenue can be
demolished any time after July 1 when the property owner has removed his personal property.
Once the Sawyer Street/ Oshkosh Avenue intersection is ready for reconstruction, 1415
Rainbow Drive will also be demolished.
1202 Oshkosh Avenue is assessed at $119,600 and 1415 Rainbow Drive is assessed at $34,900.
City CIP funds set aside for scattered site blight elimination could be used to acquire both
parcels.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the acquisition will be from the $300,000 previously approved by Council in the
2018 CIP for scattered site blight removal.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council approves the spot blight designation and acquisition of property at 1202 Oshkosh
Avenue ($175,000) and 1415 Rainbow Drive ($50,000).
