TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Kelly Nieforth, Director of Community Development DATE: December 10, 2024 SUBJECT: Res 24-657 Accept Access Easement at 420 Division Street Adjacent to the 400 Block West Parking Lot Located Over Part of the Southeasterly Portion of Vacated Ivy Place West of Division Street from Stapel Properties LLC (Plan Commission Recommends Approval)

BACKGROUND

The subject area is the south ½ of Vacated Ivy Place located south and west of the City’s 400 Block West Parking Lot. In late 2023 the parking lot was resurfaced and the City deemed necessary to rectify a number of outstanding property-related issues. The 400 Block West Parking Lot was constructed to its current configuration in 1996 after vacation of a railroad corridor that ran north-south through the property. The parking lot provides public parking for businesses and visitors to the downtown. The surrounding area is part of Oshkosh’s Central City containing numerous services, retail, food, institutional and residential establishments.

ANALYSIS

Prior to the vacation of Ivy Place, the public right-of-way was part of and provided access to the parking lot. With the vacation, the southerly half of the vacation, per state statute, attached to 420 Division Street, thus becoming private property. The easement will allow continued legal ingress/egress through the property, providing access to and from the parking lot. A similar easement will be granted to Staple Properties LLC at 420 Division Street to provide vehicular access to the north side of their property.

RECOMMENDATION

The Plan Commission recommended approval of the requested easement on December 3, 2024. Please see the attached staff report and meeting minutes for more information.
