TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of Planning Services DATE: October 17, 2018 RE: Approve Specific Implementation Plan Amendment for a Fencing Addition at 1130 N. Westfield Street (Plan Commission Recommends Approval) BACKGROUND The subject site is a multi -family property (Evergreen Retirement Community) located south of Oshkosh Avenue with frontage on the west side of N. Eagle Street and east side of N. Westfield Street. Evergreen Retirement Community (originally Evergreen Manor) was established in the 1960's and designated as a conditional use in 1983. Over the past 30+ years, the site has had several expansions and additions which required multiple additions/amendments to their Conditional Use Permit as well as several variances leading to its current site design/layout. Evergreen Retirement Community includes the primary uses of independent living units, assisted living units and skilled nursing care within approximately 30 separate structures spread out over the 37 acre campus. ANALYSIS The only change being proposed for the site is an extension of an existing section of 6 ft. tall solid wood fencing. According to the site plan, the existing fencing runs along the north side of the northernmost parking area fronting N. Eagle Street. The proposed additional fencing will be 6 ft. tall cedar shadowbox fencing, extending 15 ft. (northeast) toward N. Eagle Street, ending 18 ft. from the front property line. A base standard modification is required for the proposed fencing as the zoning ordinance limits front yard fencing to a maximum height of 4 ft. and maximum opacity of 50%. According to the applicant, the purpose of the fencing extension is to improve views for prospective residents by further shielding the parking lot from view. A landscaping plan should be submitted to include existing and additional (if necessary) trees/shrubs to "break up" the solid fencing extending into the front yard. There will be no other changes to the rest of the site except for the proposed request. City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1 130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us FISCAL IMPACT Approving the request to extend the existing fence line will have no fiscal impact on city services. Furthermore, because the property is tax exempt it will not add assessed improvement value to the parcel. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission recommended approval of the Specific Implementation Plan Amendment with conditions at its October 16, 2018 meeting.

As part of constructing 62 apartments, a portion of the views are towards a parking lot resulting in these units being harder to market to prospective residents. The extension of the existing six foot tall fence along with improvements to landscaping will allow this area to be more attractive. The driveway entrance near the fence is not heavily utilized and will still have 22 feet of visibility between the end of the fence and sidewalk with the extension. Vegetation will also be kept low to ensure drivers have maximum visibility. 5 Independel, L ivl ---- ------ ------------ ----------- ----------------------- ------- �m i3 Story, 40 U - --- - ----- 48 Ulidergroavd pa".4 19, 49s �Fh;7se Independel L ivi, 3 Storv,21 U 22 /-Phase ------------------------------------------------ --------------- 71 --------------------------------------------- — ------------- a - G de n B u ild/n c 1 16 Entry CanoPi m t f m G SIP AMENDMT ALAN J KOHFELDT ANTHONY FERYAN 1130 N WESTFIELD ST 1018 HAWK ST 1214 N EAGLE ST PC: 10-16-18 OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 ARNOLD J GUNTLISBERGEN BERNARD W PITZ ETAL CHARLES A/MARILYN J PERRY 932 HAWK ST ,617 W iRVING AVE LIVING TRUST 1360 GREENWAY TER OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54901 ELM GROVE WI 53122 CITY OF OSHKOSH DAVID W MCCLAIN III DJLW PROPERTIES MANAGEMENT LLC PO BOX 1130 2485 SHORELINE DR 318 6634 LASLEY SHORE DR OSHKOSH WI 54903 ALAMEDA CA 94501 WINNECONNE WI 54986 ELIZ B DAVIS CHILDRENS HOME ERIC HAWKINS/STEPHANIE KROMM GARY J/JULIE A ADER PO BOX 2448 1205 N WESTFIELD ST 924 BROOKWOOD CT OSHKOSH WI 54903 OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 GARY L LEMIESZ GARY R/ANN MARIE LAU JAMES E ZELHOFER 916 HAWK ST 903 BROOKWOOD CT 1529 BUCHANAN AVE OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 JAMES J MOLASH JOHN/MARSHA HIELSBERG LIVING TRUST JOSEPH P/CATHERINE A NICHOLS 1006 HAWK ST 1215 N WESTFIELD ST 1155 N WESTFIELD ST OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 KATHERINE A JACKSON KATHERINE L HUMPHREY LAWRENCE HETZER LIFE ESTATE 1255 N WESTFIELD ST 555 SW CERESCO ST 909 BROOKWOOD CT OSHKOSH WI 54902 BERLIN WI 54923 OSHKOSH WI 54902 LEROY R/JANICE A BEHLMAN WILLIAM/LOIS MANSKE MARGARET GULDAN 1515 BUCHANAN AVE 927 BROOKWOOD CT 452 W SOUTH PARK AVE OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 ORALIA A LAFERTY PATRICIA A WEBER LIFE ESTATE PHILLIS M ALECOS MARITAL TRUST 1020 HAWK ST 1511 BUCHANAN AVE 917 BROOKWOOD CT OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 RALPH G/SHARON L HAWKINS ROBERT J KELLEY ROBERTIBETSY FOX JR REV 'TRUST 936 HAWK ST 1245 N WESTFIELD ST 1235 N WESTFIELD ST OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 10 RONALD R LEWELLYN ETAL STEVEN E/SUSANNA S DUBINSI I THOMAS M ROSSITER 927 N LARK ST 1135 N WESTFIELD ST 1530 ADAMS AVE OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 OSHKOSH WI 54902 WARREN/JOANNE HERWIG 1515 COOLIDGE AVE OSHKOSH WI 54902 EVERGREEN RETIREMENT COMMUNITY INC 1130 N WESTFIELD ST OSHKOSH WI 54902 WAYNE G/JEANNE M TOLLARD 1148 N EAGLE ST OSHKOSH WI 54902 KEN ARNESON 1130 N WESTFIELD ST OSHKOSH WI 54902 WENDY JO SPANBAUER 1208 N EAGLE ST OSHKOSH WI 54902 11 PAP WIN WE II WE `4 I I INE NEW �Sl1BJECT � j N )' r 1 in = 0.05 mi 1 in= 270 ft City of Oshkosh maps and data are intended to be used for general identification purposes only, and; :fid the City of Oshkosh assumes no liability for the accuracy of the information.
