TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Darryn Burich
Director of Planning Services
DATE: July 5, 2018
RE: Approve Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Storage Area; 3300 Medalist Drive
(Plan Commission Recommends Approval)
BACKGROUND
The 8.92 acre site is located at the southeast corner of Medalist Drive and W. 33rd Avenue, north
of 34th Avenue and is accessed via entrances/exits from Medalist Drive and W. 33rd Avenue.
The site consists of a 134,130 square foot industrial building and associated parking area.
Currently, it is being leased by Oshkosh Defense for final inspection of vehicles and was
previously used by GE Power Systems for light manufacturing purposes.
ANALYSIS
The petitioner is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to use a portion of the
existing parking area to the north of the building (fronting W. 33rd Ave.) as a secured outdoor
storage area for government-owned vehicles. The proposed outdoor storage area will consist
of approximately 11,000 sq. ft. (14 parking spaces) of existing asphalt to be milled and
resurfaced. The outdoor storage area will exceed 500 sq. ft. in area and therefore will require a
conditional use permit. The enclosed storage area should not affect vehicle circulation on the
rest of the site as the storage area does not obstruct access to the remaining parking areas.
Staff is in support of the proposed outdoor storage use as the use should not be detrimental to
the surrounding area, provided the required solid (at least 90% opaque) 8' tall screening is
installed around the storage area. Staff is recommending a condition that additional
landscaping be installed in the grassed area fronting W. 33rd Avenue to "break up" the solid
fencing.
FISCAL IMPACT
No city services are required to be extended to service the project and there should be a nominal
increased in assessed improvement value due to construction of the new fence.

ANALYSIS
The petitioner is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to use a portion of the existing
parking area to the north of the building (fronting W. 33rd Ave.) as a secured outdoor storage
area for government-owned vehicles. The outdoor storage area will exceed 500 sq. ft. in area
and therefore will require a conditional use permit.
The proposed outdoor storage area will consist of approximately 11,000 sq. ft. (14 parking
spaces) of existing asphalt be to be milled and resurfaced. The area will be enclosed with 8' tall
"privacy link" fencing (approximately 98% opaque) with 3 strands of barbed wire above and 16'
wide sliding gates for access from both the north and west entrances. The enclosed storage area
should not affect vehicle circulation on the rest of the site as the storage area does not obstruct
access to the remaining parking areas.
Staff is in support of the proposed outdoor storage use as the use should not be detrimental to
the surrounding area, provided the required solid (at least 90% opaque) 8' tall screening is
installed around the storage area. However, staff is recommending a condition that additional
landscaping be installed in the grassed area fronting W. 33rd Avenue to "break up" the solid
fencing. The Department of Public Works reviewed the proposal and noted that trucks should
use Medalist Drive for access as the pavement on 33rd Avenue will likely deteriorate rapidly
with significant truck use.
RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Conditional
Use Permit, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the
criteria established by Chapter 30-382 (F)(3):
(1) Is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
(2) Would not result h -i a substantial or undue adverse impact on nearby property, the
character of the neighborhood, environmental factors, traffic factors, parking, public
improvements, public property or rights-of-way, or other matters affecting the public
health, safety, or general welfare.
(3) Maintains the desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use
impacts as related to the environs of the subject property.
(4) The conditional use is located in an area that will be adequately served by, and will not
impose an undue burden on, any of the improvements, facilities, utilities or services
provided by public or private agencies serving the subject property.
Item — CUP/Outdoor Storage — 3300 Medalist Dr
(5) The potential public benefits outweigh any potential adverse impacts of the proposed
conditional use, after taking into consideration the applicant's proposal and any
requirements recommended by the applicant to ameliorate such impacts.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit for an outdoor storage area
at 3300 Medalist Drive as proposed, with the findings listed above and the following conditions:
1. The outdoor storage area must be completely enclosed by 8 foot tall solid (at least 90%
opaque) fencing.
2. Additional landscaping be installed in grassed area fronting W. 33rd Avenue, as
approved by the Department of Community Development.
3. Truck traffic must use Medalist Drive for access.
The Plan Commission approved of the Conditional Use Permit as requested with findings and
conditions noted. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item.
Mr. Slusarek presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area. The petitioner is
requesting approval of a conditional use permit to use a portion of the existing parking area to
the north of the building as a secured outdoor storage area for government-owned vehicles.
The proposed outdoor storage area will consist of approximately 11,000 sq. ft. (14 parking
spaces) of existing asphalt to be milled and resurfaced. The enclosed storage area should not
affect vehicle circulation on the rest of the site as the storage area does not obstruct access to the
remaining parking areas. Staff is in support of the proposed outdoor storage use as the use
should not be detrimental to the surrounding area, provided the required solid (at least 90%
opaque) 8' tall screening is installed around the storage area. Staff is recommending a condition
that additional landscaping be installed in the grassed area fronting W. 33rd Avenue to "break
up" the solid fencing. The Department of Public Works reviewed the proposal and noted that
trucks should use Medalist Drive for access as the pavement on 33rd Avenue'will likely
deteriorate rapidly with significant truck use.
Mr. Borsuk stated 33rd Avenue should have been designed to allow heavy truck traffic being in
an industrial park.
Rick Fisher with Fischer and Associates Architecture, 916 Cedar Street De Pere, WI stated this is
a satellite location for Oshkosh Corporation. The reason the vehicles are not pulled directly into
the building is because they require a CDL to transport the trucks between properties. After the
vehicles are dropped off at this location for testing and maneuvering they are controlled by the
federal government and need to be in a secured area. It is anticipated the turnover of the cars
would be a few per day. He stated he is not in favor of restricting the access to 33rd Avenue
which would force the trucks to have to drive through the office parking lot. He stated there are
plans to fix a portion of the curb and road on 33rd Avenue because there is a lot of truck traffic
that comes in and out of the facility.
Item — CUP/Outdoor Storage — 3300 Medalist Dr
Ms. Propp confirmed with the applicant they are not comfortable with the condition to restrict
access to W. 33rd Avenue.
Mr. Fischer replied that is correct. The goal is to keep truck traffic away from the cars in the
office parking space.
Mr. Gohde stated W. 33rd Avenue is nearing the end of its life and restricting truck traffic would
help to extend it. He stated at the time of review he was not sure what the outdoor storage was
going to be used for and can understand the need of keeping truck traffic away from cars in the
office parking.
Ms. Propp inquired if it would be acceptable to remove the condition that states truck traffic
must use Medalist Drive for access.
Mr. Gohde responded yes.
Mr. Ford stated he would motion to approve the request with the removal of the last condition
restricting truck traffic to Medalist Drive.
Motion by Ford to approve the conditional use permit to establish an outdoor storage use located at
3300 Medalist Drive as amended with the following conditions:
The outdoor storage area must be completely enclosed by 8 foot tall solid (at least 90% opaque)
fencing.
2. Additional landscaping be installed in grassed area fronting W 33rd Avenue, as approved by the
Department of Community Development.
Seconded by Vajgart. Motion carried 7-0.

Attention: Community Development Department
RE: Conditional use application for 3300 Medalist drive City of Oshkosh WI Oshkosh defense
parking lot.
To whom it may concern:
This facility is being leased by Oshkosh Defense LLC for final inspection of vehicles prior to shipment.
The conditional use permit is to convert a portion of the existing parking lotto be a secured outdoor
storage area. The current planned use is to secure parking space for vehicles that are owned by the
federal government. The area is required by contract with the federal government to be secured with a
fence. The fencing will be 8'-0" "privacy link" fencing (approx. 98% opaque) with 3 strands of barbed wire
above. This area will also be repaved by having the surface milled off and top coated per the attached
proposal from NEA North East Asphalt.
This property is currently an industrial site that was last used by GE for manufacturing Compressors.
The property is zoned HI heavy industrial with all other surrounding properties being HI heavy industrial
as well.
The property is owned by owned by:
Smet Investments LLC
800 Okeef Road
De Pere, WI 54115
The proposed use will not affect the surrounding negatively
1. Health, safety, and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands.
This will reduce the frequency of use and the number of vehicles this parking area.
2. Pedestrian and vehicular circulation and safety.
The pedestrian and vehicle circulation will not be changed
3. Noise, air, water, or other forms of environmental pollution.
The intensity of use will be less because it is short term storage vs daily use parking. The overall noise
and other pollutions will be reduced.
4. The demand for and availability of public services and facilities.
The area and surface is not changed so there will be no impact on public services
5. Character and future development of the area.
This area is located on the side of the building and within the property setbacks. It is consistent with other
vehicle storage areas in this industrial area.
If you need additional information, please contact me or Ryan Meyers of Oshkosh Defense at 920-420-
2802
Sincerely,
7V11�
