Home My WebLink AboutItem II PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT JULY 2,2019 ITEM II: RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION OF RATH LANE EAST OF N. KOELLER STREET GENERAL INFORMATION Applicants: Mach IV Engineering&Surveying LLC, William Steiner Property Owner: City of Oshkosh Actions Requested: The petitioner is requesting the vacation of a 60 foot wide, 216 foot long segment of Rath Lane that runs east of N. Koeller Street and terminates at a cul-de-sac. This street segment runs behind properties at 1844 and 1820 Oshkosh Avenue. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: WI State Stats. 66.1003 regulate the discontinuance of a public right-of-way. Property Location and Background Information: The area in this request involves approximately 17,433 sq. ft. of right-of-way that was acquired by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) in 2008 in anticipation of the Interstate 41/roundabout project on Oshkosh Avenue. The DOT reconfigured portions of Oshkosh Avenue to install roundabouts. Properties located along Oshkosh Avenue on the north side of the street would lose their driveway access from Oshkosh Avenue due to their proximities to the roundabout. The Rath Lane right-of-way was acquired and the street segment and cul-de-sac were created to allow driveway access to the properties that lost their Oshkosh Avenue access due to the roundabout installation. Subject Site Existing Land Use Zoning Public Right-of-Way—Paved street segment and cul-de-sac CBP-PD/I Adjacent Land Use and Zoning Existing Uses Zonin North Lakeshore Park I South Vacant Parcel/Single-family Residential CPB-PD East Vacant/Undeveloped CPB-PD West Rath Lane CPB-PD/I Com rehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Use 2040 Land Use Recommendation Interstate Commercial Page 1 ANALYSIS The subject is a 60 foot wide right-of-way segment and 75 foot wide cul-de-sac running west to east from N. Koeller Street along the north of three lots fronting the 1800 block of Oshkosh Avenue. Prime Space, LLC owns the lots to the south of the right-of-way. The property to the north of the right-of-way in question is owned by the City of Oshkosh. This is an atypical vacation in that the vacation is not split down the middle of the right-of-way and disposed to the adjacent property owners. In this case, the underlying lands will revert back to the original owners the right-of-way was acquired from in 2008. As shown on the accompanying map, this vacation consists of three sections. The eastern 60 feet (approximately 7,000 sq. ft.) will revert back to the property at 1820 Oshkosh Avenue. The bulk of the street segment(approximately 10,400 sq. ft. from the cul-de-sac to N. Koeller Street) will revert back to the City of Oshkosh parcel to the north and a small triangular section(approximately 88 sq. ft.) at the southeast corner of Rath Lane and N. Koeller Street will revert back to the vacant property just east of N. Koeller Street. Official mapping was recently completed by the city to widen N. Koeller Street between Oshkosh Avenue and Rath Lane from a 60 foot wide right-of-way to an 80 foot wide right-of-way, with ten feet mapped on both sides of N. Koeller Street. The proposed vacation will stop ten feet east of the southerly section of N. Koeller Street to ensure consistent width between this segment of right-of-way and the right-of-way north of Rath Lane. The city was approached by representatives of Prime Space, LLC to possibly acquire the city's portion of the vacation and possibly the city-owned outlot north of Rath Lane. This will provide a larger redevelopment site for Prime Space, LLC and the city would no longer be required to maintain the otherwise undevelopable land. Any proposed land disposition by the city will need Plan Commission Review and approval by the Common Council. According to the Public Works Department, the right-of-way has served its purpose and is no longer needed. Public Works notes,however, that the City and any other utility facilities have the right to maintain existing utilities within the vacated right-of-way in accordance with state statutes. Staff supports the right-of-way vacation request as proposed. Traffic in the area will not be impacted as the subject right-of-way sees very little vehicle traffic. Additionally, this right-of-way vacation will provide additional area for consolidation and future redevelopment of a number of properties located along Oshkosh Avenue. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the right-of-way vacation of Rath Lane east of N. Koeller Street as requested.
