II: BUEHRING ANNEXATION/4296 JACKSON STREET Corrine Buehring, petitioner/owner requests Plan Commission review and approval of the Buehring Annexation for a property located at 4296 Jackson Street. Temporary and permanent zoning of R-2 Two Family Residence District has been requested. The .74 + acre subject property contains a single family dwelling. Dennis Schwab, 601-B Oregon Street, stated that he was the owner of Kope Avenue, a private road. He questioned if the sewer connection would come through Kope Avenue or Jackson Street. He stated that he understood the City was shorted on the payment for the sanitary sewer and they would have to recover the cost from Mr. Kope before he would be able to participate in the current costs. Mr. Burich stated he would have to check with the Department of Public Works to confirm if the laterals would be coming in from Kope Avenue or Jackson Street. Mr. Kinney stated a public easement will be included for the sanitary sewer, and suggested the petitioner work with the Department of Public Works regarding any fees for lateral connections. Mr. Schwab stated that once the City recovers the money and the sewer is paid for he believed he would be entitled to 50% of the remainder of those funds, because Kope Avenue was a private road. Mr. Kinney stated all fee issues should be resolved before the petitioner is able to get any permits. Mr. Kinney also stated that the Plan Commission could not take action on the financial aspects of this Annexation.

The subject property is currently being used as an automobile service facility. Jayne Boyce, 1106 Arthur Avenue, questioned if the parking lot on Knapp Street could remain open for employee parking only, since this would actually be the back entrance to the building. She stated they would like a couple stalls for their employee’s and would use appropriate signage, and grass the rest of the area. Mr. Burich stated the recommendation to eliminate the parking area on Knapp Street was made because of the danger of having to back out of the parking lot onto an arterial street with heavy traffic.

Mr. Kinney stated future development plans would be illustrated in the next item which should answer Mr. Cook’s questions.

V: PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED CREATION OF TAX INCREMENTAL FINANCING DISTRICT # 18 SOUTHWEST INDUSTRIAL PARK EXPANSION: DESIGNATION OF BOUNDARIES AND APPROVAL OF PROJECT PLAN Prior to taking action on Tax Incremental District (TID) # 18 and the designation of boundaries for said Tax Incremental Financing District, the Plan Commission is to hold a public hearing and take comments concerning the proposed creation of the TID. This public hearing is required as part of the formal process the City must follow in the creation of a TID. Chairman Borsuk opened the public hearing at this time to take any comments concerning the proposed creation of the TID. There was no discussion from the public concerning this item. Mr. Burich introduced the item noting that out of the 161+ acres being annexed, there would be approximately 148 developable acres. Mr. Burich also stated the cost of public improvements and other project costs including financing associated with implementing this Project Plan were estimated at approximately 7.6 million. He explained the costs would include sanitary sewer, water, streets, storm sewers and stormwater management, site preparation, landscaping, streetscaping and wayfinding, pedestrian trails, and administrative, engineering, and planning costs. Mr. Burich also stated some costs would include improvements outside of the district such as the cost of bringing sanitary sewer to the district from 20th Avenue, and infrastructure costs along the proposed east west street south of the Mercury Marine site just off of Oakwood Road as well as some stormwater management costs that include the construction of a detention pond. Mr. Burich stated the value of a developed acre in the industrial park would average approximately $225,000. Mr. Kinney continued the presentation noting that Foth and Van Dyke had been hired in 2000 to look at the area to the west of the existing Southwest Industrial Park for expansion and layout for industrial use. He displayed maps which pointed out the expansion area. He also explained the City owns land to the north of the proposed annexation site, including 40 acres to the south of the YMCA, which will also be utilized for industrial park. Mr. Kinney explained this area is not an expansion of TIF #7, but a new TIF District. He stated improvements would be made in the next 2-3 years in TIF District #18. He stated the City would next take a look at expanding the area north of the railroad tracks, which would be an expansion of TIF District #18, and then look at further expansion between State Road 91 and State Road 44. Mr. Gehling questioned what the green areas on the map signified. Mr. Kinney explained those were wetland areas containing hydric soils which have been identified by Foth and Van Dyke for use in creating the required detention and retention ponds in the development. Mr. Ruppenthal asked why there weren’t any costs for gas and electric extensions listed in the report. Mr. Kinney stated Foth and Van Dyke had not supplied those costs, and the staff would be discussing that further with the Department of Public Works. Mr. Kinney made reference to the adjacent property owners stating they will try to work around them, following the zoning regulation requirements to provide a buffer from residential properties, or the land may be purchased. Mr. Gehling questioned how long it took to develop TIF District #7. Mr. Kinney stated that TIF District #3 and TIF District #7 make up the Southwest Industrial Park, which began development in the early 1980’s. He stated that the average land sale is 23 acres a year, however, the last 2-3 years they have been selling 50 – 60 acres per year. Motion by Pressley for approval of Tax Incremental Financing District #18, the Tax Incremental Financing District #18 Project Plan and designation of boundaries for the Southwest Industrial Park Expansion. Seconded by Reschenberg. Mr. Pressley questioned the “Total Costs to be Financed” and the “Financing Cost” in Table 1 “Detailed Estimate and Timing of Project Costs” on page 5 of the Project Plan. Mr. Kinney stated the costs appeared to be flip/flopped and would be modified before going to the Common Council for approval. Motion carried 8-0. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:35 p.m.(Krueger/Pressley). Unanimous. Respectfully submitted, DARRYN L. BURICH Principal Planner DLB/vlr
