Plan commission backs Naslund annexation to connect property to city services
Summary
The commission recommended approval (8‑0) of a unanimous petition to annex roughly 1.857 acres at 2606 Jackson Street so the owner can connect to city sanitary sewer and water; staff noted the house will become legally nonconforming under SMU zoning but may remain in use.
Planning staff presented a petition for direct annexation by unanimous approval of approximately 1.857 acres at 2606 Jackson Street. Staff said the petition would allow the property owner to connect to city sanitary sewer and water mains, and that the site consists of a single‑family house (currently occupied by two tenants) and an accessory structure. The staff report recommended approval and proposed temporary and permanent suburban mixed use (SMU) zoning following annexation.
Staff explained that after annexation the single‑family house would be legal nonconforming under the SMU district and could remain in use or be rebuilt after a loss, but the nonconforming status would be lost if the structure is vacant for 12 months or more. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval by roll call, motion carried 8‑0.
The staff report noted engineering and utilities review found city sewer and water are readily available in the right‑of‑way and Oshkosh Fire and Police had no concerns about providing services. The Department of Administration's municipal boundary review had determined the annexation to be in the public interest, and staff recommended forwarding the petition with the requested zoning.
