Westfield Street extension which was to provide Oshkosh Corporation access to their global headquarters site. Since then the Army Corps of Engineers conducted a re-delineation of wetlands on the golf course property which removed and reduced some of the wetlands in the area. This caused the City to redesign the alignment of the unnamed street(now known as N. Koeller Street) to avoid the newly mapped wetlands. To simplify the process, the City is Item I—Street vacations—Go f Course Property&Rainbow Alennorial Park 2 recommending the vacation of the entire street segment to be followed by a new street dedication with the new alignment. On furie 12, 2018 the City approved a dedication to extend N. Westfield Street north of Oshkosh Avenue to provide street and utility access for Oshkosh Corporation and redevelopment areas along Oshkosh Avenue, The dedication included land forming a curve to the west which was mapped in case the Army Corps of Engineers wetland delineation did not alter the existing wetlands. The dedication was necessary to allow the Department of Public Works to begin design work for the N. Westfield Street extension and its intersection at Oshkosh Avenue. With the new delineation and the re-alignment of N. Koeller Street, this curve section is no longer needed and the City recommends its vacation. The land will be reverted back to H2Oshkosh Ave. LLC. The remainder of the vacations are located at the east end of the golf course property and Rainbow Memorial Park. The proposed vacations include all of Lake Butte des Morts, Shomin and Water Streets and two public alleys, and portions of N. Eagle Street,Rainbow Drive and Graham Street. During review of a preliminary Certified Survey Map for the golf course, research indicated that the aforementioned streets were not officially vacated, although the historic use of the lands were treated as if they were. This request is essentially a cleanup of the area by making the vacations official, Most of the land for the proposed vacations will be reverted back to the City's farmer golf course property and/or Rainbow Memorial Park, with a few remnants being reverted back to private properties in the area. According to the Public Warks Department, the alleys are no longer used or needed and can be vacated. Public Works is requesting,however, that the City and any other utility facilities have the right to maintain existing utilities within the proposed right-of-way vacations. Staff supports the right-of-way vacations request as proposed. The vacations will have no impact on adjacent properties as the land has been historically used as if the right-of-ways had been already vacated. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the proposed street right-of-way vacations as requested.
