TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Kelly Nieforth, Director of Community Development DATE: August 14, 2024 SUBJECT: Ord 24-465 Approve Request to Attach to the City from Town of Nekimi / Zellner Voluntary Attachment: 3669 Oregon Street

BACKGROUND

This is a voluntary attachment of approximately 1.062 acres of privately-owned land and public right-of-way located on the west side of Oregon Street, ¼ mile south of West 35th Avenue in the Town of Nekimi. The subject site contains a single-family home and typical residential accessory structures. The purpose of the attachment is to allow for City sanitary sewer and water main to be connected to the petitioner’s house.

ANALYSIS

The property is proposed to be attached with a zoning classification of Single Family Residential-5 (SR-5) District, which is appropriate for the current use of the property. The City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends the subject site, as well as the west side of Oregon Street to the north and south, suitable for industrial uses, however, the existing residential use will remain until market conditions warrant reuse of the property for industrial development. The proposed attachment is compliant with the terms of the intergovernmental agreement between the City and the Town of Nekimi, which has been fully implemented with a Cooperative Plan approved by the State of Wisconsin. The agreement provides for attachments only through unanimous consent of the property owners. Surrounding uses on the east side of Oregon Street are primarily agricultural with associated single-family farmsteads and agricultural accessory buildings. The west side of Oregon Street contains Fox Valley Technical College and Wittman Regional Airport as well as pockets of single-family uses. City sanitary sewer and water main is readily available from Oregon Street and is easily accessible. This stretch of Oregon Street is currently being reconstructed by Winnebago County, and it is an opportune time for the petitioner to connect to City services. Other City services, including police and fire protection and trash collection, will not be an issue as most of the area surrounding the subject site is already within the Oshkosh corporate limits.

FISCAL IMPACT

This attachment will add approximately $150,000 in assessed property value to the City. Connection charges will be collected from the petitioner for the original construction of sanitary sewer and water main within Oregon Street.

RECOMMENDATION

It appears that the Zellner Voluntary Attachment is in the best interest of the City and Staff recommends approval as requested.
