QIHKOlH ON THE WATER TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Buric� Director of Planning Services DATE: November 4, 2010 RE: Approve Conditional Use Permit for a Mixed Commercial /Residential Use at 441 North Main Street (Plan Commission Recommends Approval) BACKGROUND The subject property is a 2,300 square foot parcel of land and is located mid -block of the 400 block of North Main Street. The two -story building was built in 1874 and is a contributing structure within the North Main Street Historic District and considered eligible for the National Register as a local historic building. It is currently used as commercial space on the first floor and unused office /storage space on the second. ANALYSIS The petitioner proposes to convert the existing vacant office space into a 1,855 square foot living unit on the second floor above the existing salon. The office space will be completely renovated to create a two bedroom living unit that will contain such amenities as one and a half baths, skylights, washer /dryer /dishwasher, ample closet /pantry space and a deck. The conversion will not alter the external appearance of the structure with the exception of a deck for use by the residential unit on the west side /rear of the building facing the municipal parking lot. Staff had some initial concerns regarding the materials to be used for the deck as it was felt that the proposed wood would not be consistent with the character of the structures in the downtown area and the petitioner has indicated that she would work with staff on an alternative to exposed wood. A City owned parking lot abuts the subject site and the Director of Transportation has indicated that parking is available in the lot to supply the two required parking stalls for the living unit. The proposed upper floor residential renovation project is consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan to aid in the stabilization of the downtown/central city business district. FISCAL IMPACT None anticipated. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission approved of this request at its November 2, 2010 meeting.

The office space will be completely renovated to create a two bedroom living unit that will contain such amenities as one and a half baths, skylights, washer /dryer /dishwasher, ample closet /pantry space and a deck. The conversion will not alter the external appearance of the structure with the exception of a deck for use by the residential unit on the west side /rear of the building facing the municipal parking lot. Staff had some concerns regarding the materials to be used for the deck as it was felt that wood would not be consistent with the character of the structures in this downtown area. Staff met with the petitioner /owner, who stated that she was not interested in using a wooden deck but was unsure of the exact materials to be used at this time. A City owned parking lot abuts the subject property to the rear and Chris Strong, Director of Transportation has indicated that parking is available within to supply the two parking stalls required for the living unit. The proposed upper floor residential renovation project is consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan that call for the creation of such residential units in the downtown and central city area and aids in stabilization of these business districts. The unit itself appears to be of exceptional quality and staff believes will be a positive addition to the downtown. RECOMMENDATION /CONDITIO Staff recommends a finding that the proposed conditional use permit request is consistent with Sections 30 -11(D) of the Zoning Ordinance and be approved with the following conditions: 1. No outdoor storage unless enclosed at ground floor. 2. Deck shall not be constructed of exposed wood. The Plan Commission approved of the conditional use permit as requested with conditions noted. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item. Mr. Buck presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the existing land uses and zoning in said area. He discussed details of the proposed residential living unit on the second floor and explained staff s concerns with the possibility of a wooden deck being constructed as it would not be consistent with the character of the other structures in the downtown area. He further commented that the architect for the project had contacted staff regarding the materials to be used for the deck and indicated that it would be constructed of steel and vinyl wrapped decking so there would be no exposed wood surfaces. Mr. Buck also commented that the City owned parking lot has the capacity to accommodate the two required parking stalls for the residential unit and that the project is consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. He also reviewed the conditions recommended for this request. Mr. Bowen inquired if the deck could not be constructed with wood. Mr. Buck responded that it could be constructed with wood materials providing that it was wrapped so as not to have exposed wooden surfaces. Item - 441 N Main Street -CUP mixed use Mr. Thorns questioned if the parking stalls in the City lot would be leased to the owner. Mr. Buck replied that the stalls could be used on an overnight basis or the owner could obtain a monthly parking permit from the City. Ms. Lohry inquired about who would be responsible for the outdoor storage mentioned in the recommended conditions. Mr. Buck responded that the condition was related to any outdoor storage being required to be enclosed at the ground floor level as a safeguard condition to prevent unsightly storage in the downtown area. He added that the owner has not requested any outdoor storage use. Mr. Fojtik questioned how garbage would be handled for the site. Mr. Buck replied that there was a shared dumpster on the site that would be utilized for refuse collection. Mr. Palmeri commented that the staff report made reference to the structure being eligible for the National Register as a local historic building and inquired how the second floor residential unit would impact its eligibility. Mr. Buck responded that the structure would still be eligible for the National Register. Rick Fisher, Fisher & Associates, LLC, 215 Peterlynn Drive, Wrightstown, architect for the project, stated that he had a meeting with Wisconsin Public Service Corporation representatives regarding the utilities for the proposed project and all requirements would be met. He also distributed copies of revised site plans for the project displaying the decking as being constructed with steel posts and with vinyl or aluminum covering. Ms. Propp questioned if the deck would be sympathetic to the adjacent structures in the area. Mr. Fisher responded affirmatively. Motion by Thoms to approve the conditional use permit for a mixed use development including upper floor residential use at 441 North Main Street as requested with the following conditions: 1.

The plan calls for the entire interior space to be completely removed and reconstructed. The new 1855 square foot apartment will have new energy efficient appliances and heating equipment. Low water use fixtures and natural day lighting via the use of skylights. This unit will fit in well with the surrounding other buildings since it will match the uses of the buildings to the north and the south. The exterior of the building will be unchanged except for the patio to be added to the west. This project should have a positive impact on the surrounding area by reducing the possible use of public utilities and parking demand by reducing the number of allowable occupants from 18 for an office use to 4 for residential.
