Plan Commission - Regular Meeting

We should push it on all of our media sites. So yeah, that'll be fixed tomorrow. Okay. Make sure it's out there.

Is there any way, so when you're leaving the bypass, taking a right at Oakley, looking up left towards Woodman's, those stop markers are so far forward, you can't see around the cars that are parked there.

I wonder if I can press record.

Is that a DOT thing?

I don't know.

Is it on the local roads, or is it on the interchange? It's on the overpass, and it wouldn't.

They're horrible, right? What's worse is those people that come up to that line, they almost have their nose in that south lane. Yeah. I don't know.

They're going a foot too far forward. Anytime.

Exactly. At least look that far in advance.

Actually, my dog got pulled over for going too far over the line. It's like, what are you going to do? You got to see. Okay, we're on film now.

All right. Thanks, Bill.

Thank you.

Go ahead and call the plan commissioning for Tuesday, September 8th, to order. Roll call.

Okay. In the absence of Mayor Brendan Pratt, because he recused himself, we have Chairperson Matt Buren. Present. We have Nicholas Haug. Here. Dean Roth. Here. Bill Heppner. Here. We do have absent Ryan Lutie, and we do have absent at this time Sue Rowe as well. But we still have a quorum. And then we also have Taylor Greenwald, planning director, and Cindy Bauer, city clerk. We have a quorum.

Thank you. Citizens' participation period, no more than 20 minutes, unless extended by two-thirds. Vote.

Seeing none here, Heppner will move to close. Roth will second.

Motion to second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Discuss approval of the minutes for the August 4th regular plan Commission meeting Both would move to approve those have no second motion in second all in favor say aye aye motion carries New business, public hearing at 5.30 or soon thereafter regarding a proposed 30-lot preliminary plat. This is at 1710 White Tail Way. Parcel number is 1-8201-227-081-934-02003. This is known as the Villas and is submitted by Jeff Stockburger.

Thank you, Your Honor. Yeah, so we have a sort of an odd subdivision. It's basically going back to a lot that was already approved in White Tail Woods, which we're all familiar with. So basically, like I said, in the motion, 30 lots, preliminary plat, so 30 lots totals at Zoned R3. This is the lot that this subdivision would be taking place on. So this was White Toe Woods as a whole. This is lot four within White Toe Woods, and it was, and we actually, so the site plan for this lot was approved. Permits have been granted for all the buildings on there. Basically, what's happening is they're going back to add zero lot lines to the individual units so they can be sold and not just rented out like they are right now. Right now, they're apartments. It's all five buildings on one lot. So Zondar 3, the use was approved multifamily. They're opposing townhomes, which is, again, they're making them available for sale, not just for rent. It's a 3.4-acre site area. This is the first step in the entailment process. And then they would go to final plat and development agreement. They've already got permits pulled for all the buildings, like I said on here. This is really sort of an administrative subdivision measure. And the Planning Commission is recommending body-armed preliminary plats. So our 2022 comprehensive plan calls this plan neighborhood type A, which allows R3 in all types of housing. So it's compliant with our comprehensive plan. It meets our zoning requirements in R3. This is the entire site of Whitetail Woods as a whole. And this is where the actual subdivision area is. We've had approved site plans for basically this going all the way up. along this edge here for phase one of the subdivision. Phase two will encompass kind of the single family portion up here, but right now we're talking about the multifamily and hopefully eventually townhome development right here. So yeah, Northeastern Northeastern have single family. South is railroad and vacant land. You have multifamily and the county to the west. In the east, you have single family properties in the Eau Claire County and town of Washington. Here is the actual preliminary plat. So these are the five different buildings. All it's just adding are these individual lot lines so they can sell these. But nothing's actually changed about the site plan itself. So the site plan was approved. Permits were approved. Nothing about this would change anything about that. That's already just going back. Here's the approved site plan for the development. And these are all the permitted buildings. But right now they can only rent it out because it's all one single lot. Access to this was off of Nine Mile Creek. You have South Briarcliff Drive as the public street and then White's Hallway is the private drive that you used to navigate with the internal portion of the development here. Here are the approved elevations of the buildings on there. So kind of your more traditional aesthetic and style with these and then large scale townhomes, like larger sized units. As far as environmental review goes, so this went through the process for the Whitetail Woods subdivision, so they've already done environmental review. This was the original detailed site analysis, and all these issues were mitigated as part of the Whitetail Woods approval, so no additional review is required. Same with the parks dedication, so this is the approved parks dedication for Whitetail Woods as a whole, so they don't need any additional parkland requirements for this process. This was the approved park, and we actually have an updated design that will include a walking path around this wetland area. But everything's staying the same as far as the approved park dedication. So with that, we'd recommend approval of the preliminary plat as conditioned in the staff report. Here are the different conditions that were included within that report for your review.

All right, and this is a public hearing. If anyone would like to come up and speak on it, or else we can close and move to the considering recommendation. Do you want to just hang on to any comments so we can just close this one and move to the next one?

No, happy to move to close public hearing.

Thank you. I'll second. Thank you. Motion and second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? All right, so this is now moving on to discuss, consider, recommendation of council regarding that proposed 30-lot preliminary plat at 1710 Whitetail Way, parcel 1820122708193402003, known as the Villas, as submitted by Jeff Stockburger, to be discussed at the September 10th council meeting.

Any discussion, questions?

The buildings are not there yet.

No, they've been permitted under construction. Just that two of them are fully built? OK.

So when you go in, it's been a couple of months since I've been out there. But you go in, these are on the right-hand side of the road? Yep.

Why don't you two sit up by the table, because then it's the microphone in case there's questions.

If you've driven by there, you can see the light post. Just right there. They have solar panels on them. That's kind of the first thing that catches my eye over into that. It's your immediate right when you get in there.

Yeah, because on this side is where the big apartment-type buildings are, but these are the...

This road, private driveways, and this building, this building's already erected. This one's on...

Okay. Okay, I think this is what I'm picturing. But the road is here for...

It travels up to a point, yes.

Okay, thank you. These are the more senior-friendly units?

Yeah. Okay. Okay. These garages...

Zero entry, I think. Yeah. Yeah. kind of amenities for And yeah, and I think that's um it just it makes sense to Make that modification to the lot lines and for the record drove through the other day beautiful.

It's looking nice out there I love the different elements. You go out there. It looks really nice doing a good job, so thank you for that I'm gonna make a motion to put a council recommendation with conditions of my staff I

All right. Motion is second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Great. Recommendation carries. Is there any miscellaneous business communications?

Yeah. So we've initiated the parks plan update process, and we've completed the direction of the survey. The link is live. I'll be going in tomorrow and making sure it's on all of our social media and our website. But I'll send a link to you guys directly. But yeah, definitely take that survey. It'll be open from tomorrow through end of November. So hopefully we'll get a lot of feedback as part of that parks planning process.

It was really in-depth. It tried to capture all the different places and all the different types of uses and all the outdoor spaces that we have. I think it'll help get some good results, and hopefully we'll get some good take and good data from it.

Yep, very good feedback, good discussions during the kickoff meeting. So hopefully it'll – I think that reflects in the survey. But, yeah, I'll send links out to you guys directly and just tell your neighbors and friends to check that out on our social media. That's it. Thank you. Take a motion to adjourn.

So moved.

Second? We're off to a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. All right. Thanks again.

Can I ask a timeline on this? Have a good one.

Good to see you both.
