Staff said the move is intended to relieve traffic congestion and address access concerns raised by the Oshkosh Police and Fire Departments; the commission adopted the recommendation by a 7-0 vote.

Staff said the subject lot is approximately 224 feet deep by 260 feet wide and that a recorded CSM previously reserved the south 66 feet of the parcel for future right-of-way; although the reservation has no independent legal effect, staff said the prior owner was aware a street could extend east. Once acquired, staff said the city will draft a certified survey map (CSM) to dedicate right-of-way, then divide the remaining north portion of the parcel into three single-family lots. Staff said the right-of-way dedication will allow city and private utilities to be extended and will create a street connection from the existing Mockingbird Way through Windsong Terrace to Clearville Road.

Staff told the commission that residential development east of the subject site comprises several subdivisions with more than 500 single-family lots but currently is served by only two connections to collector streets. Staff said a forthcoming preliminary plat for Casey’s Meadows South would add more than 90 single-family lots east of the subject site, reinforcing the city’s need for an additional collector connection to relieve congestion and improve emergency access.

The staff presentation said the city has an accepted offer on the lot (the parcel was listed for sale and the city submitted an offer that was accepted). Staff recommended approval of the proposed acquisition; commissioners who spoke in favor said the additional connection would improve neighborhood access and emergency egress.

Clarifying details recorded by staff included the lot dimensions, the planned south 66-foot right-of-way dedication shown on the original CSM, an approximate future subdivision of the north portion into three single-family lots (staff estimated those lots would be roughly 63 to 64 feet wide), and that a street-name change for the extended segment of Windsong Terrace would be requested from the Common Council as plans progress. No members of the public spoke on this agenda item during the meeting.

Speakers at the item included planning staff and Plan Commission members who questioned and supported acquisition.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Oshkosh Plan Commission 5/20/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Plan Commission recommended that the city acquire a vacant lot at the east terminus of Windsong Terrace to allow a future road connection to Mockingbird Way, easing local traffic and addressing public-safety access concerns; commission vote was 7-0.","taxTitle","Oshkosh City, Winnebago County, Wisconsin","taxId",5129,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6528256,"Oshkosh Plan Commission clears 2024 MS4 annual report for DNR submission",701,1380000,2081000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3411954-5bd43dfcec44b9a68141836116dc5435&start=1380&end=2081","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3411954-5bd43dfcec44b9a68141836116dc5435/thumbnail_1380000.jpg","/articles/6528256/Oshkosh-City/Winnebago-County/Wisconsin/Oshkosh-Plan-Commission-clears-2024-MS4-annual-report-for-DNR-submission","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6528256-945ef5a3ac91cd543c8b1a8ee940c656/orig.mp4?Expires=1773744211&Signature=LjPCVCtw2c29vptGsmPuET6C5sH-VvPbTXyqzsWQMfBtDhbAIfCnKXDvNIAA05CEYpm6bDN-fO9mVFDYPly0ZOMLNnOvWWLhWc45OFb9QeLvHtOebVa2Xfd626YJAB5LR-UVD~Bxu5ZRCm5fIychJQI8gLsHwtJ7AhYOK2RBpJax3OAgW~SMowKzvWfC6cC4IqhPfiid2wLxhLJODiQnkJ38B2KSuTLzFCdl1bu0h1G0VKUR~0aI7nZFLoPeR9pXF-hR0nWNYxTBbrp3sJGOoJrfMvmd9tyMEV75nn-DYpphCMozQh3RJfddolIHhoWT0FnnrdsYaQ1Nl26ZB3hRKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Oshkosh Plan Commission on May 20 voted 7-0 to approve and submit the city’s 2024 MS4 annual report to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, following a presentation by Alyssa Decker, the city’s civil engineering supervisor.

Decker told the commission that MS4 refers to the municipal separate storm sewer system and that the city, because its population exceeds 10,000, is required to maintain a DNR permit. She said the city is currently operating under the prior permit (an update expected from the DNR has not yet been released). Decker summarized the city’s control measures and 2024 activities, including public outreach through the Northeast Wisconsin Stormwater Consortium and city channels, illicit-discharge screening, construction-site erosion-control inspections, post-construction BMP oversight, pollution-prevention work and maintenance of the storm-sewer system map.

Decker said a consultant screened 94 outfalls in 2024 and identified 15 potential illicit discharges with chemical or physical indicators such as detergent or oil. She said staff performed 311 erosion-control inspections in 2024 (city and private construction sites) and noted that 13 new privately owned best-management practices (BMPs) were approved in the past year; the city also inspects 31 municipally owned BMPs annually. Streets division work included sweeping 882 tons of debris and removing about 441 tons of material from inlet sumps, Decker said. She said staff and contractors also carry out fall leaf collection and winter salt-management training for crews.

Commission members asked technical questions about operations. When asked whether street sweepers reach the curb line, Decker said they should sweep the flow line and that parked vehicles can limit curb-to-curb sweeping. A commissioner who described a drainage channel near Oregon Street asked whether a nearby vegetated swale was a city storm facility and said a neighbor was depositing grass clippings; Decker said she would investigate that specific location and report back.

Decker said the MS4 annual report materials and the storm-sewer map are submitted through the DNR’s e-permitting system. The commission voted to approve submission of the 2024 report to the DNR, 7-0.

Clarifying details from the presentation included: the city’s history with the MS4 permitting program (initial permit 2007; update 2014; pending state update), the number of outfalls screened (94) and potential illicit discharges identified (15), the number of erosion-control inspections in 2024 (311), the number of new private BMP approvals (13) and the amount of material removed by street sweeping (882 tons) and inlet cleaning (approximately 441 tons). Decker said all identified illicit discharges had been cleaned up.

The property owner and applicant is General Contacting Service LLC. The commission approved the staff recommendation by a 7-0 roll call vote.

Staff said the proposed duplexes are consistent with a GDP approved in 2018 and that a neighborhood meeting held in April drew generally favorable responses from nearby residents. The proposal would use an existing driveway from West 17th Avenue and provide two-car attached garages for each unit plus six surface parking stalls. Staff said the project includes a required outdoor recreation area in the southwest corner of the site; final landscaping and fencing will be verified during site-plan review.

Staff noted one site-specific landscape deviation request: a landscape island along the northeast building would be narrower than the standard seven-foot width and would not include the required deciduous tree because of proximity to an existing stormwater pond. Staff said the applicant is requesting a BSM to allow the reduced-width island without the tree; staff supported the request because the project exceeds the overall landscape point requirements and proposes replacement trees elsewhere on the site.

During public comment, Sue Volgren (who identified herself as the parent of a nearby resident) asked what would be provided in the outdoor recreation area and whether the rear yard depths would be sufficient for neighboring properties. Staff replied that the recreation area is shown as open space to meet multifamily site requirements and that the rear yards slightly exceed the code minimum (staff said the minimum is 25 feet). Staff also said buffer yards would be required along property lines and that the developer proposes landscaping (Arborvitae) and a 6-foot solid fence on portions of the northeast buffer; the final configuration will be set during site-plan review.

Staff recommended approval of the GDP amendment and SIP with findings and conditions in the staff report, and the commission adopted the recommendation, 7-0.

Clarifying details recorded by staff included: the property zoning (Neighborhood Mixed Use with a planned development overlay), the presence of an existing eight-unit building and garage, the proposed four duplexes to the rear, required buffer yards and fencing, and that final site landscaping and any minor encroachments (for example, a driveway bump-out) will be addressed during site-plan review.

The City of Oshkosh is the owner and applicant, and the commission voted 7-0 to adopt the staff findings and recommendations.

Staff told the commission the proposal would divide the combined tract into 31 single-family lots, three outlots and right-of-way dedications. The development would result in about 2.78 units per acre, which staff characterized as a low density compared with the SR-5 zoning district maximum of roughly five units per acre. Staff said lot widths would generally range from 60 to 75 feet for interior lots and 81 to 92 feet for corner lots; staff said at least one proposed lot would have an area of just over 14,000 square feet.

The commission was told the city purchased the two vacant tracts as part of efforts generated by A Place in Oshkosh, the city’s 2022 housing needs assessment and strategy, which identified shortages of affordable housing. Staff said the plat design responds to neighborhood comments received earlier this year: after residents complained proposed lots were too narrow, the city revised the plat to increase minimum lot widths to 60 feet to align with nearby subdivisions.

The plat includes a 0.8-acre outlot proposed for dedication to the city as a neighborhood park; staff said the city’s outdoor recreation plan identifies a lack of park service in the area. Two additional outlots would be used for stormwater management. Staff said the city’s police and fire departments reviewed the plan and indicated no concerns about service to the proposed development. The Oshkosh Area School District was notified and did not submit concerns, staff said.

Staff told the commission the city will submit a final plat after preliminary approval; the city expects to begin utility construction in late 2025. Staff recommended approval of the preliminary plat, and the commission adopted the recommendation by roll call vote, 7-0.

Clarifying details noted in the staff presentation included: the combined site area (11.169 acres); the proposed lot-count (31 residential lots); minimum interior lot width (60 feet); the proposed park outlot size (0.8 acre); proposed new or extended rights-of-way (extensions to Farmington Avenue and Christian Drive and a new north–south connecting street approximately 300 feet long); and a 30-foot easement along a ditch on the east property line that would limit buildable area on an adjacent lot. Staff said the city will solicit requests for proposals from builders after preliminary and final plat steps, but that the city’s immediate construction program is prioritizing Washington School work and an RFP timeline was not confirmed.

Speakers at the item included planning staff who presented the report and commission members who asked technical questions about addressing, post office notification, and lot-use details. No members of the public spoke during the public comment period on this item.

The commission adopted the staff findings and recommendations, with a recorded outcome of 7-0 in favor.","The City of Oshkosh Plan Commission on May 20 approved a preliminary plat creating 31 single-family lots on about 11.17 acres east of Farmington Avenue and Christian Drive; the plan includes a 0.8-acre park outlot and multiple stormwater outlots.
