Plan Commission approves land transfers to resolve century-old lot-line discrepancies downtown
Summary
The Plan Commission approved several companion land disposition and acquisition actions Dec. 3 that transfer triangular parcels between the City and adjacent property owners to straighten lot lines created by historical platting and to regularize parking-lot property boundaries.
The Oshkosh Plan Commission on Dec. 3 approved companion land-disposition and land-acquisition actions that transfer small triangular parcels between the city and adjacent property owners to resolve lot-line inconsistencies dating to 19th-century plats and to formalize parking-lot boundaries in the 400 block of North Main Street.
Staff said the Algoma Building at 110 Algoma Boulevard was platted on a line in 1865 that did not match subsequent building construction and a later map correction. Deeds were never updated to reflect the corrected lot line, producing overlapping descriptions with the city-owned parking lot behind the 400 block. The city proposed a disposition of a triangular piece of the 400 block west parking lot to 110 Algoma Boulevard (Item 5) and companion acquisitions from 110 Algoma Boulevard and 138 Algoma Boulevard to consolidate the corrected lines and clean up records (Item 6). The transfers also formalize prior tenant/lease arrangements tied to stalls paved over private property when the lot was reconfigured in 1996.
Staff recommended approval of the disposition and both acquisitions; no public speakers testified. The commissions voted 7-0 on both agenda items to adopt the staff recommendations. Staff said the recording exhibits will be used to document the transfers.
The actions will result in updated deed records and require staff to record the provided exhibits and revised legal descriptions.
