Neighborhood Planning Process
The neighborhood planning process is a component of the City of Oshkosh - Healthy
Neighborhood Initiative (OHNI). The process was developed to identify what resident’s value
most within their neighborhood and to outline a clear vision of needs and priorities. The process
is resident-led, resulting in a neighborhood plan that serves as a guide for investment in the
neighborhood. Healthy neighborhoods are essential to the overall well being of Oshkosh and
should be viewed as the strategic building blocks of the community. A neighborhood plan must
strive to both eliminate elements that erode character and enhance elements that improve the
quality of life for current and future residents. Architectural significance, pedestrian amenities,
diversity, affordability, and proximity to services are several examples of assets Oshkosh
neighborhoods possess. Preservation, stabilization, and revitalization strategies to protect these
assets have been developed to ensure that Oshkosh’s neighborhoods prosper. Below are the
steps taken to complete the neighborhood planning process:

Executive Summary
The Millers Bay Neighborhood Plan focuses on the area, bounded by East New York Avenue (north
side) on the south, Hazel Street (east side) on the west, East Murdock Avenue (south side) on the
north and Menominee Drive (both sides) on the east. Over the last few years the neighborhood
has begun to see signs of transition as long term residents move out and new homeowners move
in. Recent efforts by residents, the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association, City of Oshkosh and
partner organizations have centered on enhancing existing assets to provide stability and ensure
the Millers Bay neighborhood continues to be one of choice in Oshkosh.
Since 2012, the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association (MBNA) has served the neighborhood in
varying capacities, from social and cleanup events to formal planning activities in partnership with
the City of Oshkosh, NeighborWorks Badgerland and the Oshkosh Area School District. In 2012,
the City of Oshkosh approved the MBNA as a city recognized neighborhood association. In 2014,
the Millers Bay Planning Team was formed as a coalition of residents to support neighborhood
stabilization.
This plan is prepared for the MBNA with the intent to support their efforts, to maintain the
existing neighborhood character and ensure Millers Bay continues to be a neighborhood of choice.
Created during a six month resident-led planning effort, the plan may be used by the MBNA, City
of Oshkosh, and partner organizations to ensure neighborhood improvements and activities are
implemented to meet the needs of the residents who reside there.
The plan first offers a brief history, followed by a snapshot of the neighborhood’s current
demographic profile and a list of assets and opportunities identified throughout the planning
process. The plan then outlines eight priority areas: Community Building, Housing, Land Use,
Transportation, Economic Development, Utilities, Natural and Cultural Resources and
Intergovernmental Cooperation. Individual sections explore each focus area, assess current
conditions, and provide goals, objectives and specific action items to help achieve the intended
goals.
Planning for a neighborhood must always involve the most important stakeholders – its residents
and property owners. The plan was researched and drafted under the guidance of the MBNA
leadership, residents and city staff. Preliminary recommendations were shared at a public
participation event where the resulting conversations and comments were used to shape final
recommendations for the plan.
Once the neighborhood plan is approved, an implementation plan will be drafted by the
neighborhood association to ensure progress is made towards achieving the stated goals. The
implementation plan will outline specific and time-bound steps to be taken to ensure plan
elements are successfully carried out. Additionally, the implementation plan will provide
performance measures to track the progress of future efforts.

Introduction__________________________________________________________
In 2011, a core group of residents located in the area bounded by East New York Avenue, Hazel
Street, East Murdock Avenue and Menominee Drive, formed around the desire to preserve and
enhance their neighborhood. The first general membership meeting of the neighborhood
association was held in May, 2012 and approximately 80 residents attended. Those in attendance
agreed upon the neighborhood boundaries, name, purpose, and organizational bylaws.
Since 2012, the neighborhood association has coordinated bi-annual general membership
meetings which are noticed to all residents living within the neighborhood by email or flyer as well
as the neighborhood website, www.millersbayneighborhood.org. Multiple committees were
established including: Beautification, Communication, Grievance, Membership, Safety, and Social.
Additional subcommittees were created to begin working on neighborhood goals and activities.
The neighborhood association has organized
major social events that include participation
in Neighborhood Night Out (pictured on the
right), a city-wide block party event organized
by neighborhood groups. The neighborhood
association also began hosting Clean Sweep,
which has become an annual event to address
litter within the neighborhood and
Menominee Park. During the winter months,
the neighborhood association hosts a holiday
decorating contest, door-to-door caroling and
visit/caroling at a local nursing home.
Hibernation Happy Hour has also become a popular event to provide an opportunity for residents
to get together over the winter at a local restaurant.
In 2012, the Millers Bay Beautification Committee partnered with the Parks Department to
develop plans to beautify the George Washington monument, which is located on a small
triangular tract of land between Menominee Drive, Hazel Street and E. New York Avenue. The
Millers Bay Beautification Committee has also partnered with the Oshkosh Area School District,
Emmeline Cook PTO, NorthShore Neighborhood Association, City of Oshkosh, NeighborWorks
Badgerland and Oshkosh Area
Community Foundation to develop a
master plan (pictured on the left) for
the school campus to address years of
deferred maintenance in their pursuit
to
enhance
Emmeline
Cook
Elementary School. A timeline of
neighborhood association activities by
committee completed between May,
2014 and May, 2015 can be found in
Appendix A.

In June of 2014, the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association
became the second neighborhood to begin working with City
staff to develop a neighborhood plan. Over the course of a year,
residents worked with staff to identify goals and objectives that
would address current and future priorities of the neighborhood.
The purpose of a neighborhood plan is to develop strategies that
address priorities, and lay the foundation for collaborative efforts
between the public and private sectors to help implement plan
recommendations.
More specifically, neighborhood plans are intended to:
 Educate local agencies, city government and neighborhood residents about each other’s
concerns and visions for the future.
 Promote collaboration between the City, the neighborhood, and local public, private and
non-profit organizations in order to achieve mutual goals to enhance the neighborhood.
 Create “pride of place” within the community by identifying and developing the assets
within each neighborhood.
 Initiate change, rather than simply reacting to it, by addressing specific issues and
opportunities.
 Strengthen the city by improving the quality of life in its neighborhoods.
During the planning process, residents recognized
many locational advantages of the neighborhood,
such as the proximity to Lake Winnebago and
Menominee Park, an elementary and middle
school within walking distance and access to trails
and recreational amenities. Residents also
recognized the need to preserve and enhance
these assets to protect the equity in their
property and the desireablity of the
neighborhood. Continued efforts by the Millers
Bay Neighborhood Association will focus on resident connections and identified neighborhood
assets to reinforce a positive image and ensure the Millers Bay neighborhood continues to be one
of choice in Oshkosh.

Neighborhood History_________________________________________________
The Millers Bay neighborhood area began developing in the
1940’s. Until then most of the land, both north and south of
East Murdock, was owned by Harold Doemel, who operated a
large dairy farm. His home was located at what’s now the
northwest corner of Hickory and Murdock. The land he farmed
was mostly on the north side of Murdock, as the south side of
Murdock Avenue was predominately marshland.
In the 1940’s, rubble from the reconstruction of Jackson Street
was used to start filling in the marsh. Shortly after, the marsh,
which was still part of the Town of Oshkosh, was used as the
town dump for about three years. The photo on the right
depicts the time period. Note the town dump on the left side of
the picture.
Around 1950, Louie Graber bought the marsh from the Doemel
family and petitioned to have it annexed into the city. Graber’s
purchase combined with the annexation immediately led to
homes being built along the entire length of Menominee Drive
(pictured left), and rapid development on Doemel and
Northpoint Streets. Graber was also instrumental in developing
and platting out what became White Swan, Graber and
Cliffview Streets. Many of the early homes built along
Menominee and Northpoint initially had major flooding issues
every time it rained, due to the marshland the neighborhood
was built on. This problem was eventually resolved. The
proximity of what was then Mercy Hospital prompted many of
the doctors in Oshkosh, at that time, to build in this area.
Everyone who built or bought homes on the northeast side of
Oshkosh and had elementary school aged children at first had
only Longfellow as a public school option; Longfellow was
located behind the former Mercy Hospital. At that time,
Webster Stanley was strictly a junior high school. The areas
rapid development prompted the building of Emmeline Cook
Elementary School in 1954, which is visible in the photo on the
right.
White Swan built up rapidly in the 1960’s, but it wouldn’t be
until the mid-1980’s when Graber and Cliffview would become
fully developed.

Plan Development
In June of 2014, residents began meeting bi-monthly to start drafting elements of their
neighborhood plan. Using the neighborhood-wide survey results as a basis for making plan
recommendations, the Neighborhood Planning Team identified eight priority areas: Community
Building, Housing, Land Use, Transportation, Economic Development, Utilities, Natural and
Cultural Resources and Intergovernmental Cooperation. Next, residents were asked to identify
goals for each priority area that the Millers Bay Neighborhood Association, City of Oshkosh, and
future partners could work towards over the next three to five years. The eight goals that were
developed are listed below.
COMMUNITY BUIILDING
Build relationships within the neighborhood and community
HOUSING
Enhance individual and collective property value by maintaining unique character and identity of
the neighborhood
LAND USE
Ensure land use that remains consistent with existing pattern and character
TRANSPORTATION
Promote safe, efficient and diverse transportation system
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Promote Millers Bay as a neighborhood of choice
UTILITIES
Maintain and improve public and private utilities that meet the needs and desires of residents
NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES

Community Building
Social connections are an important component of quality of life. Knowing your neighbors
provides a sense of safety in your surroundings and makes it easier to determine when someone
or something is out of place. According to the neighborhood survey, 86% of respondents indicated
knowing their neighbor very well or somewhat well. Based on individual comments received in
the survey, there was a desire to preserve social connections as current residents move out and
new ones move in. The work of the association to date has helped to strenghten resident
connections within the neighborhood. Below are the strategies identified to help further
community building activities within the Millers Bay neighborhood moving forward.

Housing
Homes in the Millers Bay neighborhood were built mainly between 1940 and 1980 and reflect a
similar style, character and size. There are many examples of raised and split-level ranches which
were a popular architectural style during the
above time period. Prairie Style architecture
can also be found throughout the
neighborhood, including the design of
Emmeline Cook Elementary School.
Many of the homes within the neighborhood
are well maintained with landscaped yards
which are tended to with pride by existing
homeowners. Throughout the planning process residents agreed upon the importance of well
maintained housing and the influence it has on desirability of the neighborhood. Residents felt it
was important to maintain a high standard of maintenance and new construction within the
neighborhood to protect equity of existing and future homeowners.
Based on data obtained from ESRI Community Analyst
the neighborhood housing stock is 87.9% owner
occupied. It is important to note that not all homes
that are considered to be non-owner occupied are
actually rental housing. Properties considered to be
non-owner occupied also represent homes that are
currently vacant, listed on the market for sale, are not
the owner’s primary residence (i.e. vacation or
secondary home.

that quality streets and sidewalks were important assets to preserve and enhance moving
forward.
The City of Oshkosh Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Plan was approved in 2011 and
recommends strategies for improving bicycle and pedestrian transportation throughout the
Oshkosh area. Millers Bay residents indicated a strong desire for a safe, efficient and diverse
transportation network within the neighborhood to support the active residents that live there.
The Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Plan recommends East Murdock Avenue, Menominee
Drive, East Nevada Avenue and East New York Avenue as prefered bike routes in the
neighborhood. The recommended type of bike facility to be installed is indicated on the
Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan Recommended Facilities map in Appendix A.

Economic Development
The
City
of
Oshkosh’s
Healthy
Neighborhoods Initiative is organized
around a specific theory of neighborhood
change
known
as
the
Healthy
Neighborhoods approach. This approach
to revitalization is most closely associated
with neighborhood strategist David
Boehlke, who has made creating healthy
neighborhoods his life’s work. This theory
is also referred to as the market approach
to neighborhood revitalization, or a
process to create “Neighborhoods of
Choice.” A Healthy Neighborhood is
defined as a place where it makes
economic sense for people to invest time, money, and energy; and where neighbors successfully
manage day-to-day issues. Recent sales within the Millers Bay neighborhood indicate there is
demand in the real estate market. Homes within the neighborhood that were purchased between
2010 and 2015 on average sold for 98% of their assessed value. The map of the right shows the
location of homes sold in the neighborhood between 2010 and 2015. Future efforts identified
below will focus on promoting the Millers Bay neighborhood as one of choice.
GOAL #5
Promote Millers Bay as a neighborhood of choice
OBJECTIVE 5A: EDUCATE RESIDENTS REGARDING THE GOALS AND PRIORITIES OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD

our neighborhood on our website
Action 2: Encourage residents to apply for positions on City boards, committees, commissions
14
Utilities
The desire to provide a high level of both public and private utilities is consistant with the City of
Oshkosh Comprehensive Plan. The neighborhood-wide survey highlighted resident concern
related to flooding in the neighborhood. The Millers Bay neighborhood was developed on former
marsh land which has historically caused flooding issues within the neighborhood. The City of
Oshkosh Public Works Department contracted with Strand Associates, Inc. to develop strategies to
address flooding concerns througout the community. The goals for the City’s storm water
management approach are as follows:
 Reduce health and safety impacts due to street and property flooding
 Reduce the amount of clear water impact to sanitary sewer system
 Improve water quality
 Eliminate street surcharging for up to 10-year design storm
 Maintain street driveablity for up to 25-year design storm
 Contain street surcharging within right-of-way for up to 100 year design storm
Progress has been made to meet many of the goals of the City’s storm water management
approach; however, there is still work that can be done to ensure both private and public utilities
are well maintained and provide for the needs of residents. The objectives below were developed
to ensure residents are informed of flood mitigation strategies and available incentive programs to
address concerns.
GOAL #6
Maintain and improve public and private utilities that meet the needs
and desires of residents
OBJECTIVE 6A: PROMOTE A HIGH STANDARD OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE UTILITES THAT PROVIDE
FOR THE NEEDS OF RESIDENTS

pervious materials
OBJECTIVE 6C: ASSURE MILLERS BAY NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A UNIFORM LIGHTING DESIGN
Action 1: Implement lighting design recommended by a professional urban design firm (GOAL #3 –
Objective 3B)
15
Natural and Cultural Resources
Oshkosh is rich with natural and cultural resources and the Millers Bay neighborhood showcases
many. Cultural resources include historic buildings and monuments as well as ancient and historic
archeological sites. Cultural resources could also be viewed as stories of residents that have lived
in the neighborhood for many years. The Millers Bay neighborhood is boardered by Menominee
Park and Lake Winnebago on the east which are two examples of natural resources available to
residents. Lake Winnebago provides year round access to recreational opportunities and events.
Menominee Park is utilized for many of the neighborhood association’s social events and provides
residents access to miles of walking and biking trails.
In 2012, members of the Millers Bay Neighborhood
Association Beautification Committee partnered with
Parks Department staff to enhance the George
Washington Monument, located on a triangular tract
of land between East New York Avenue, Menominee
Drive, and Hazel Street. The project committee
enlisted the help of Rettler Corporation, a professional
design firm out of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, to develop
a concept plan for the site. Final improvements
including a new pathway, flag pole, lighting and landscaping beds, were completed during the
summer of 2015 as part of the City’s Great Neighborhood Program. Continued efforts to
encourage the preservation of natural and cultural resources have been identified below.
GOAL # 7
Promote and maintain our natural and cultural heritage
OBJECTIVE 7A: CONTINUE PARTICIPATION IN THE RENOVATION OF THE WASHINGTON TRIANGLE

Action 3: Interview long-time neighborhood residents and post their stories on our website
16
Intergovernmental Cooperation
There are many organizations that have an impact on the quality of life of a neighborhood and
future success of neighborhood efforts will require coordination to achieve identified goals.
Residents expressed a desire to ensure communication, collaboration and cooperation between
those organizations that influence the Millers Bay neighborhood. Developing strategies that
ensure collaboration will further success when implementing the neighborhood plan. The
development of a neighborhood plan helps the City of Oshkosh understand the vision and goals of
residents living in the Millers Bay neighborhood and show commitment to supporting the
neighborhood’s activities. Coordination with the Oshkosh Area School District to support
Emmeline Cook Elementary School should continue, as many residents recognize the impact a
quality school can have on property values and the desireablity of their neighborhood. Below are
the current strategies identified to help further cooperation between the Millers Bay
neighborhood and local organizations.

service providers and other government entities

Action 2: Invite Police and Fire representatives to attend neighborhood meetings

Appendix C
Neighborhood Assessment
During the summer of 2014, Planning Services Division staff completed a neighborhood-wide
assessment to better understand existing conditions within the Millers Bay neighborhood. Blight
indicators such as peeling paint, presence of junk and debris, overgrown landscaping, vehicles
parking on lawns, rutted up lawns and boarded up windows were documented on a parcel by
parcel basis. The neighborhood assessment is an important baseline inventory that will be
completed again in three to five years to measure the success of programming in the
neighborhood. Below are multiple maps showing available data on existing conditions within the
Millers Bay neighborhood.
Number of Housing
Units by Parcel
Homes located within the Millers
Bay neighborhood are single
family and only contain one
housing unit per property which
is consistent
with the
zoning and
land use
designation
for the area.
Architectural Style by
Parcel
Architectural styles in the Millers
Bay neighborhood are primarily
classified as
“Ranch” which
is likely due to
the time period
the area was
developed.
Colonial
architecture is
also found
throughout the
neighborhood.
CDU by Parcel
CDU stands for “Condition –
Desirability – Utility”. The code
denotes a composite rating of
the overall condition, desirability
and usefulness of a property. A
property’s rating is established by
the City Assessor Division and is
one of the factors used to
determine
the
assessed
value of a
property.
Grade by Parcel
Grade describes the cumulative
effects of workmanship, the
costliness of materials and the
individuality of design used in
constructing a home. The grade
of a home rarely changes unless
elements from the original
construction are
removed or
deteriorate beyond
repair. The grade is
established by the
City Assessor
Division.
Appendix D
Neighborhood Survey
Neighborhood Survey
In July of 2014, members of the Millers Bay Planning Team worked with city staff to survey
residents living in the neighborhood. The survey asked residents to identify assets they valued
and concerns they felt should be addressed within the neighborhood. Each property within the
neighborhood received a letter with a link to an online version in addition to a copy of the survey
which could be returned via a self addressed envelope. A total of 144 surveys were collected (48%
response rate) and the following graphs provide an overview of the results.
Approximately 73% of respondents have lived
in the neighborhood for over 10 years.
Length of residencey is a key quality of life
indicator when looking at stability of a
neighborhood.
There
were
multiple
comments throughout the survey noting the
number of new residents moving into the
neighborhood.
Social connections are another important
quality of life indicator when looking at the
health of a neighborhood. 86% of
respondents indicated knowing each other
very well or somewhat well. Knowing your
neighbors provides a sense of safety in your
surroundings. It is also much easier to know
when someone or something is out of place.
The Millers Bay Neighborhood Association has
developed a system of keeping residents
informed including emails, door-to-door flyers
and a neighborhood website. According to
survey respondents, 91% were aware of the
existing neighborhood association. Resident
engagement is critical to sustaining efforts in
the neighborhood.
The feeling of safety is another quality of
life indicator that can be tracked in the
neighborhood over time. In Millers Bay,
approximately 98% of survey respondents
answered they felt safe in their
neighborhood. Existing crime data does
echo this response, there is very little
criminal activity occuring within the
neighborhood.
When asked about the market value of their
home over the last five years, 27.2% of
respondents felt the value has increased
while 46.3% thought it had stayed the
same. Assessed values in the neighborhood
can be tracked to understand trends in
value as a result of efforts in the
neighborhood.
The existing housing stock in the
neighborhood was considered to be good
according to 42.9% of respondents. 35.7%
of respondents felt the neighborhood
housing stock was very good and 7.1% felt
the housing stock was excellent.
Appendix E
Neighborhood Crime Data
Between January of 2010 and November of 2014 there was minimal change in police calls for
service within the Millers Bay neighborhood (includes both field initiated and dispatched calls).
There was a slight spike in calls during 2012, which is consistent with the city’s overall crime rate
trend. Also, 2012 was the year the neighborhood association formed and the slight spike in calls
for service could be attributed to the awareness of residents living in the neighborhood.
A summary of calls by event type between January of 2010 and November of 2014 is included
below. The data suggests that there were more general assist calls and what is classified as crime
prevention calls (suspicious person/vehicle/situation, building checks, open doors, etc) than
person vs. person crimes (battery, domestics, robbery, sex offenses, harassment, etc) and
property crimes (damage to property, theft, auto theft, burglary) combined. General assist and
crime prevention calls are likely a result of proactive crime watch efforts and resident’s willingness
to report suspicious activity. The neighborhood-wide survey results confirmed this by finding that
92.9% of respondents felt they could rely on their neighbor to watch their home while they were
away.
The number of calls linked to traffic
violations also supports resident
concern relating to speeding in the
neighborhood. Neighborhood-wide
survey results found that 58% of
respondents felt speeding in the
neighborhood was very or somewhat
concerning. With that being said, the
Oshkosh
Police
Department
completed a traffic study in 2014 and
found that 75% of individuals in
violation of the speed limit lived
within the Millers Bay neighborhood. Trends in crime data for each event type can be found on
the pages that follow.
