Summary
At its March 10 meeting the Oshkosh Common Council carried Resolution 26‑100 (Eichstead Road right‑of‑way vacation), adopted Ordinances 26‑15, 26‑13 and 26‑16 (land‑use, alley one‑way, zone change) and approved resolutions on UW‑Oshkosh special events and a liquor license transfer; votes recorded on the floor were unanimous where noted.
The Oshkosh Common Council voted on multiple land‑use, traffic and administrative items at its March 10 meeting.
A public hearing on Resolution 26‑100 — a partial right‑of‑way vacation for Eichstead Road (135 feet south of Freedom Ave) — had no public speakers; after closing the hearing council put the resolution on the floor and recorded the action as carried.
Council adopted Ordinance 26‑15, a comprehensive plan map amendment changing properties near Whitsall Avenue and Meriden Road from low‑density residential to medium and high density residential on the Planning Commission’s recommendation.
Transportation and planning items included Ordinance 26‑13 to designate the alley between 9th Avenue and 10th Avenue as a one‑way to address safety concerns raised by transportation staff and the Transportation Committee, and Ordinance 26‑16 approving a zone change to central mixed use with a planned development overlay for properties at 14 and 20 West 10th Avenue; council members noted the project will produce a net gain in housing and leverages a state Vacancy‑to‑Vitality program.
The council also approved Resolution 26‑122 permitting UW‑Oshkosh to hold spring and mid‑year commencement ceremonies and approved the surrender and reissuance of a combination Class B beer/liquor license for 216 North Main Street (Water City Pub → Fox and Crow Bistro) via Resolution 26‑119.
Where roll calls were recorded on the floor, the council’s votes were recorded as unanimous or as indicated by the clerk; staff said Planning Commission and Transportation Committee recommended approval for the respective items. Implementation tasks (signage, plan outreach, license paperwork) were assigned to the relevant departments for follow‑up.
