ITEM V: STREET NAME CHANGE—EMMERS LANE CHANGED TO NORTH
WESTHAVEN DRIVE FROM HIGHWAY 21 TO OMRO ROAD
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Choice Bank—William Kahl
Action(s) Requested:
The applicant is requesting that the north-south segment of Emmers Lane be changed to North
Westhaven Drive.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions: N/A
Property Location and Background:
The subject consist of a 900-foot segment runs perpendicular from Omro Road south to
Highway 21. One of the property owners along this segment approached the city and proposed
changing the street name so that Emmers Lane would simply become an extension of North
Westhaven Drive. The applicant states that the current naming causes confusion for visitors
and emergency services. The north-south street has three different names(North Westhaven
Drive, Emmers Lane, and Kewaunee Street) within a quarter mile distance. The entire length of
North Westhaven Drive and the Emmers Lane segment in question are located within the City
of Oshkosh. Kewaunee Street is located within the Town of Algoma. According to the
petitioner,more visitors are aware of the name North Westhaven Drive than of Emmers Lane.
ANALYSIS
The street name change will have the benefit of simplifying the current street naming along the
segment. The change would eliminate one name(Emmers Lane) and simply extend North
Westhaven Drive from Highway 21 to the intersection of Omro Road and Kewaunee Street.
This change would affect approximately 4 properties along the Emmers Lane segment.
The name change from Emmers Lane to North Westhaven Drive makes logical sense as the
street will have a homogeneous name from Witzel Avenue up to Omro Road. The name change
will affect four city properties. Choice Bank (1041 Emmers Lane) is petitioning the City of
Oshkosh for the renaming. The property owners along the segment primarily consist of retail
businesses such as Walgreens and a retail center with several small businesses. Choice Bank
will relocate its main office to 1041 Emmers Lane and begin operations on July 9, 2018.
The petition is based on the concern that Emmers Lane is not a familiar street name to the
greater Oshkosh community and the petitioner's current and potential customer base. The
ITEM V—Emmers Lane Street Renaming
petitioner believes that renaming the short segment to North Westhaven Drive would provide
more clarity for directing customers to their business. The petitioner also believes that this
renaming will benefit emergency services.
City staff reached out to Winnebago County and David Levine at the County. Mr. Levine stated
that the County has no concern with the street renaming because the address range along the
segment will remain the same. Additionally, Choice Bank created a petition with a narrative
explaining the renaming proposal and distributed it to the adjacent property owners. All
property owners except for one signed the petition and no property owners were against the
proposal. The City's Fire and Addressing departments have approved the proposal. The City's
Police Department has not commented on the proposal.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the street name change as requested.

APPLICANT:
Choice Bank
1041 Emmers Lane
Oshkosh,WI 54904
Choice Bank is petitioning the City of Oshkosh to rename the street named Emmers Lane that runs north
and south between highway 21 and Omro Road. This single street is primarily occupied by retail
businesses including a Walgreens store and a retail strip location that is occupied by a number of small
businesses. Choice Bank is relocating its main office to 1041 Emmers lane to begin operations on July 9,
2018.
Our petition is based on our concern that the Emmers Lane street name is not familiar to the greater
Oshkosh community and our current and prospective customer base. We believe that renaming this short
stretch of road to "North Westhaven Dr." would provide more clarity for directing customers to our
business. The renaming would be consistent with the continuation of North Westhaven Dr.that presently
ends at the intersection of highway 21 before crossing over highway 21 onto Emmers Lane. The renaming
would provide more consistency with the continuation of North Westhaven Dr.further north to intersect
with Omro Rd.
