TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Justin Gierach, Engineering Division Manager/City Engineer DATE: January 14, 2025 SUBJECT: Res 25-22 Determination of Necessity to Acquire and Approve and Execute Relocation Order for Partial Land Acquisitions of 3277 and 3290 Meadowbrook Road

BACKGROUND

The City of Oshkosh Department of Public Works is requesting approval to officially file a relocation order for portion of two (2) properties on Meadowbrook Road.  The Relocation Order is the next step in the process to obtaining the Right-of-Way from these properties. The purpose of this relocation order is to connect both sections of Meadowbrook Road to make a through street.  The street extension of Meadowbrook Road was first identified on Certified Survey Map No. 492 recorded in 1978, which reserved the south 33-foot portion of 3290 Meadowbrook Road for street purposes.  In 2005, the Second Addition to Pheasant Creek Farm Subdivision was recorded, which included a segment of Meadowbrook Road purposely located where the two (2) segments would be able to connect and provide the subdivision additional access to an arterial street (West 9th Avenue).  At the November 26, 2024 Common Council (Council) meeting, the Council approved partial land acquisitions for the above properties.

ANALYSIS

The two (2) proposed land acquisitions will extend the 66-foot right-of-way from the west to the west end of the east segment of Meadowbrook Road, connecting to its 60-foot right-of-way. Once the land acquisitions are complete, the City will dedicate the land as public right-of-way. This will enable the City to extend the water main, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and street to serve former town properties along Meadowbrook Road.  The street connection will also provide the subdivision an additional access to West 9th Avenue. This review and subsequent approval by the Common Council is the next step for the City to acquire these properties.  The City is required to follow the acquisition process as required by State Statute.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact to the City at this time.  As the Department of Public Works and their real estate consultant move forward with the process, the acquisition will be on a future Council Agenda, which will include the fiscal impact.

RECOMMENDATION

The Council, based on the recommendation of the Plan Commission, previously approved the determination of necessity to acquire on November 26, 2024.  This action approves the official filing of the relocation order.
