FROM: Darryn Buric
Director of Planning Services
DATE: April 7, 2011
RE: Determination of Necessity; Establish Fair Market Value; Authorize Acquisition of
Vacant Property South of 1200 South Oakwood Road for Storm Water Detention
Purposes
BACKGROUND
The subject property is 1.26 acres, located on the east side of S. Oakwood Road, approximately' /4 mile
south of W. 9` Avenue. The parcel is adjacent to Westhaven Golf Course to the east and north of
Sawyer Creek, which flows directly to the south and east of the property. To the west, the land use is
primarily single - family residential development. The subject property is completely located within the
mapped floodway of Sawyer Creek, making the parcel undevelopable.
ANALYSIS
The Department of Public Works hired Strand Associates to complete a storm water management
study of the Sawyer Creek Watershed which resulted in findings that called for the creation of storm
water detention within the Westhaven Golf Course. The Common Council directed the Department of
Public Works not to pursue construction of storm water detention that involved the golf course and
they have since been continuing to seek other options to mitigate the impact of flooding within this
watershed. The city is seeking to acquire this property due to its close proximity to Sawyer Creek in
addition to the fact that the city purchased the land immediately to the north of this parcel which would
enable Public Works to construct a wet detention basin on the combined lots that will serve 13 acres of
residential development to the west.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available for this purpose in the Capital Improvement Program in Acct. 561- 2010 -1799-
00000 Storm Water Utility Work in Progress.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission approved of this request at its April 5, 2011 meeting.

ANALYSIS
The Department of Public Works hired Strand Associates of Madison to complete a storm water
management study of the Sawyer Creek Watershed. Strand's findings called for the creation of
storm water detention within Westhaven Golf Course. However, the Common Council directed
the Department of Public Works not to pursue construction of storm water detention that involved
the acquisition of the golf course. Since then, Public Works has continued to seek other options
and strategies to mitigate the impact of flooding within this watershed.
The city is seeking to acquire this property because of its proximity to Sawyer Creek. In addition,
the city purchased the 0.38 vacant parcel immediately north of the subject site in 2006. These two
lots together will enable the Department of Public Works to construct a wet detention basin that
will serve 13 acres of residential development to the west. At the time of the platting of the
development to the west, storm water facilities were not created because different regulations were
in place which did not require detention.
Staff feels this is a good opportunity to address flooding in the area. The Department of Public
Works is limited as to where storm water facilities can be located due to the lack of available land
in the area for these facilities.
RECOMMENDATION /CONDITIONS
Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed land acquisition as requested.
The Plan Commission approved of the land acquisition as requested. 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 zoning
classifications in said area. He explained that the property is entirely located within the floodway,
which is basically undevelopable by Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR)
standards and that the home on the lot to the north of the site has been removed and the property
acquired by the City in 2006. The City was approached by the land owner to acquire the site and
is intending to use the area for stormwater detention purposes. The detention pond would service
13 acres to the west of the site and would help to address flooding issues.
Mr. Fojtik commented that the property to the north of this area at 1150 S. Oakwood Road is not a
residential property but a storage facility for the golf course.
Mr. Thoms questioned why the lot was determined to be unbuildable.
Mr. Buck responded that the property was located in the floodway and the WDNR does not allow
construction in areas determined to be in floodways. Sawyer Creek runs through the south end of
this property.
Mr. Thoms also questioned if constructing a detention pond in this area would add to flooding
issues.
Item - Land Acquisition -1250 S. Oakwood Road
Steve Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works, responded that the construction of the detention
basin would not be adding any water to the area and the intent is to direct the water into the basin
rather than into Sawyer Creek. This would create a larger area for water to pool alleviating some
of the flooding issues in this neighborhood and improving quality of water discharged.
Gerald Jagodinski, 5590 County Road R, inquired if there is heavy rainfall, how the drainage for
this area would be handled as too much standing water could create problems with mosquitoes and
odors.
Mr. Gohde responded that the basin would be designed with certain features that would mitigate
these issues. The depth of the basin's safety shelf would be only one foot deep with emergent
plants on the shelf which would alleviate algae growth whereas the remaining portion of the pond
is deeper to deter mosquitoes and other vegetative and insect growths. It will be designed as a wet
basin and will have turnover in the water as well which also assists with these issues.
Motion by Nollenberger to approve the land acquisition of property located at 1250 S.
Oakwood Road.
Seconded by Propp. Motion carried 5 -0.
Item — Land Acquisition —1250 S. Oakwood Road
Acquisition of 1250 South Oakwood Road
Narrative
The Department of Public Works hired Strand Associates of Madison to complete a Storm Water
Management Study for the Sawyer Creek Watershed. One of the. recommendations of the study was to
create storm water detention within the Westhaven Golf Course adjacent to Sawyer Creek. The findings
of the study were presented to the Common Council. The Common Council has directed the
Department of Public Works to not pursue the construction of detention that involves the acquisition of
the Golf Course. Based upon this direction, the Department of Public Works continues to work on
strategies to minimize the impacts of flooding within the Sawyer Creek Watershed.
The City is seeking to acquire the property at 1250 South Oakwood Road because it is located adjacent
to the north side of Sawyer Creek and on the east side of South Oakwood Road. This property is located
immediately south of a vacant lot at 1200 South Oakwood Road, which the City purchased in 2006. The
property is completely within the mapped floodway of Sawyer Creek. The value of maintaining flood
storage within the flood way is critical to the management of storm water within the Sawyer Creek
Watershed.
The Department of Public Works intends to create a wet detention basin at this location. This detention
basin will handle storm water that originates from the residential subdivision that is located to the west
of Oakwood Road along Ruschfield Drive. The detention basin will provide stormwater management
for approximately 13 acres that did not have any storm water management facilities created at the time
the subdivision was platted.
