Authority approves offer to purchase 42 Mill Street to house relocated, renovated home
Summary
The Redevelopment Authority approved Resolution 25-07, authorizing an offer to purchase parcel 0806110000 (42 Mill Street) by Kean Capital Management LLC; the company plans to relocate and remodel a previously displaced house and will accept rental vouchers, staff said.
The Redevelopment Authority of Oshkosh approved Resolution 25-07 to approve an offer to purchase parcel number 0806110000 (commonly listed as 42 Mill Street) by Kean Capital Management LLC.
RDA staff presented background: the lot has been vacant about 20 years and was purchased by the RDA around 2023. The applicant plans to relocate a house they acquired from another area, place it on a new foundation, remodel it and rent it. Jackson Keane, representing the applicant, described the process of moving and remodeling houses: “Basically, they cut the house off at the foundation ... it goes on to beams on a trailer, and they transport it by trailer,” he said, describing nighttime moves and coordination with law enforcement.
Staff said planning staff reviewed the relocated structure and determined it could meet code with one additional window on the front façade; the applicant agreed to that change and to align the garage and driveway with the neighborhood’s pattern. Staff also noted the company will accept rental vouchers and may offer the unit below market rate.
The board took a roll call on Resolution 25-07; the transcript records: Bill Crowley — Aye; Lasky — Aye; Chairman — Aye; Hutchinson — Aye; Panic — Aye; Felcher — Aye; Grover — Aye. The motion carried.
Staff cautioned that final building-plan review and any required adjustments to meet setbacks or code are handled through planning and inspection review after the offer-to-purchase phase; staff said an offer may later be released if a project cannot meet requirements. The authority asked staff to provide updates as the project advances; the applicant agreed to provide photos and videos of the moving and remodeling work.
The approved offer allows the applicant to proceed with the next steps of moving, placing and remodeling the house to meet city requirements and the RDA’s recently adopted housing specifications.
