TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services DATE: August 7, 2018 RE: Accept Historic Marker Easement at 234 Church Avenue (Plan Commission recommends approval) BACKGROUND The Oshkosh Landmarks Commission with the collaboration of City staff and the Winnebago County Historical Society have initiated a project to install and maintain a 24" x 36" double - sided bronze marker to be displayed at the subject site and an easement is needed to place the historical marker. The subject property is located on the northeast corner of Church Avenue and Franklin Street. The site is developed with the Historic Morgan House with a detached garage and parking area. ANALYSIS The bronze marker contains information on the Morgan House and Irving -Church Historic District and would be pole mounted and replace the current Morgan House sign on the property. The petitioner is requesting acceptance of a 3' x 10' easement at the south edge of the subject property for display and maintenance of the historical marker. Planning staff does not have concerns with the proposed easement and feels that display of the historic marker will help preserve neighborhood history. FISCAL IMPACT There should be very little or no ongoing maintenance required for the sign as these bronze markers are relatively durable and the area around the marker will be maintained by the Winnebago County Historical Society.
