5. PUBLIC INPUT - None 6. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR’S REPORT – AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. 7. PUBLIC HEARING #1 – REZONING (Z-01-17) REQUESTED BY JOSEPH E. BERKEN AND CARLA

J. BERKEN, TO REZONE 3325 E. FIRST AVENUE AND 9 VACANT PARCELS IDENTIFIED IN THE CLEM ROMENESKO PLAT FROM AGD GENERAL AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO IND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.

Chairman Schowalter opened Public Hearing #1 at 6:04 p.m. Tracy Ebben, 3217 E. First Avenue, stated that she is completely not in favor of the rezoning and especially not in favor of rezoning the lot with the building on it, which is directly to the east of her home. Mrs. Ebben questioned some of the correspondence she received, which identified the property to the south of Mr. Berken’s as being zoned commercial. She stated that her property is located to the south of Mr. Berken’s property and is zoned Agricultural. She also stated that if the notice was referring to property along CTH OO and French Rd., or south of that area, there are no homes located there and it is just vacant land/fields. Mrs. Ebben noted that she and her husband own 4 lots in the Romenesko Plat and that 2 other neighbors own separate lots in the same plat. She addressed concerns with the property at 3325 E. First Street, which is developed with a nonresidential building and is included in the rezoning request. She said it was her understanding that Town ordinance prohibits commercial vehicles from backing from a road into a property. She asked what the punishment was for breaking this ordinance, because Mr. Berken has commercial vehicles out there every day that back in. Mrs. Ebben stated that she would like to see this ordinance enforced on a daily basis and questioned who would take care of enforcing this. She reiterated that she did not want the rezoning to occur on any of the property, but especially not on the parcel with the existing building. Toni Hoh, 3117 N. French Road, stated that her understanding was that N. French Road would someday re-routed around the other side of the landfill property. She asked how that plan fit with creating business and industrial uses in the area proposed for rezoning. She stated her opinion that if that was the future plan for French Road, the area in question would be on a dead-end road. Mrs. Hoh asked for clarification

DRAFT PCM 4/6/2014

on those plans and how it might affect their property. She stated that the remaining residents in this area are being squeezed out and that there is little chance they will ever get to hookup to utilities. She stated the opinion that this is decreasing their property value, and adding industrial uses will make matters worse. Melba Dorn, 3111 N. French Road, stated that her property is directly across the street from the storage building owned by Mr. Berken. She noted the poor condition of French Road and First Avenue, and questioned who would have to pay to improve these roads. She stated her opinion that she will not pay for these road improvements, especially if the work is being done to help someone else run a business. Monica Whitehead, 3255 N. French Road, stated that she is not opposed to the industrial buildings or the rezoning. Attorney Bob Sweeney, spoke on behalf the applicant, Joseph Berken. Attorney Sweeny referenced the staff report and recommendation and stated that it was his understanding the recommendation came out of the Site Plan committee. Attorney Sweeney stated that Mr. Berken supports the staff recommendation on the rezoning request. Attorney Sweeney identified the lots in the Romenesko Plat that were included in the rezoning request, as follows: Lots 1-5, Block 2; Lots 4-7, Block 3; and Lot 5, Block 1. Attorney Sweeney stated that Mr. Berken was cognizant of residential uses for the 3 homes that are within the plat and he is not seeking to rezone all of the properties he owns in the plat. Essentially, Mr. Berken is creating a buffer around the homes that are located on Lot 9, Lot 10, and Lot 3. Lots 9 and 10 are just off French Road, and Mr. Ebben’s home is on Lot 3, Block 1. So between the existing buildings on Lot 5, Block 1, there is an existing lot that serves as a buffer and Mr. Berken proposes a buffer around all existing homes. Attorney Sweeney stated that there is a street vacation petition being proposed by the owner of the industrial land north of Mr. Berken. This owner, French Road LLC, is proposing vacation of some roads west of N. French Road, involving abutting lands owned by them and by Mr. Berken. Attorney Sweeney made reference to zoning and uses of lands to the north, east and south of Mr. Berken. Attorney Sweeney concurred with residents who noted that it is difficult to have sewer and water extended to this area. He noted his agreement with the staff report, which stated that any development would require holding tanks and private wells. He explained that this plat was created in the 1950’s. Since then, 3 homes have been built in this plat. He explained that under current zoning, single family homes are no longer allowed within the plat unless they are consistent with a farm usage. Attorney Sweeney stated that essentially Mr. Berken’s vacant lots have become orphaned parcels that will remain vacant because you can’t put single family residences on them. He stated his empathy for the neighbors and noted that Mr. Berken is attempting to create a buffer between business and residential uses. He also stated his opinion that no one knows exactly how land values may be affected, but that they may be affected positively because the rezoned land could then be put to its best and highest use. In response to a question from Attorney Sweeney, Director Buckingham confirmed that Grand Chute is in the service area of the East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission. Attorney Sweeney noted the Comprehensive Plan, which projects out to 2030, has the exact zoning that is being requested. He stated that change is hard, especially in areas that historically were just Ag and then saw development come in. He stated his opinion that what you can’t have is one use essentially controlling the whole area. Attorney Sweeney stated his opinion that he thinks the land is ideally suited for the staff recommendation, which stated uses such as mini-storage and light warehouses. Concerning the issue on restrictions for commercial vehicles backing on roads, he stated his opinion that it is not a commercial vehicle because the building is characterized as Ag storage and there is not an office at that location.

Tracy Ebben spoke again, noting that the rezoning request does not involve all of the properties Mr. Berken owns. She also asked what sort of stormwater pond would be required for new development and how many of Mr. Berken’s lots would be taken up by this facility. Ken Weber, 2120 Old Country Circle, Kaukauna, spoke on behalf of the owner of land directly north of the Berken property. This land is zoned industrial and the intended use is commercial storage and contractor shops. Development plans include a stormwater pond. It may be possible to build a shared pond with Mr. Berken’s development area. He noted that they are willing to share plans with the residents so everyone gets a better idea of how development will occur. He noted that their development will be a much more attractive use than the former trailer park that was at the site. Clint DeKeyser, 2909 N. French Road, stated that he is not opposed to the rezoning request. He asked for clarification on the future repairs to French Road and if residents would share in the cost of roadwork.

Motion (Huth/Hidde) to close Public Hearing #1 at 6:24 p.m. Motion carried, all voting aye.

Director Buckingham reviewed background information on the rezoning request, as provided in the staff report. He also provided responses to questions raised at the public hearing. He and Director Marquardt noted that the WiDOT has discussed some intersection design modifications at French Road and CTH OO, given concerns of its close proximity to the STH 441 interchange. It is expected that these roads would continue to intersect, but possibly in a redesigned location further to the east. Concerning costs for reconstructing French Road, the project is not in the Town’s 5-year plan and there is no timetable established for when the project would occur. Were it be reconstructed by the Town, project costs would be assessed in accordance with the Town’s special assessment policy in effect at that time. For roads like this one, residential properties generally are assessed a rate based on the cost of rebuilding a local residential street. Commercial properties generally are assessed a higher rate. In response to a question regarding restrictions on commercial vehicles backing from or onto a street, Director Buckingham advised that this restriction applies to commercial or industrial zoned properties. In the case of Mr. Berken’s property at 3325 E. First Avenue, enforcement of this restriction would begin from the point the property was rezoned and had received all approvals needed to be used and occupied as a commercial building and property. This requirement is found in the Zoning Code. Enforcement would be managed through Zoning Code enforcement processes. In response to questions about stormwater pond requirements, Director Buckingham explained that the size and type of facility required is dependent on the amount of impervious surface associated with a particular project. Director Buckingham noted resident concerns regarding future commercial or industrial development being adjacent to their homes, and the affect this development would have on their property values. He stated that change in zoning of a property does not, in and of itself, impact property values. Value is determined by the use of a property and how it is viewed relative to comparable properties in the same real estate market. He also noted there are properties owned by the applicant that were not included in this rezoning request. Those properties are adjacent to the existing homes and will create a physical buffer between residential lots and the lots that are proposed for Industrial zoning. He provided an overview of the zoning code requirements and performance standards that help minimize negative impacts when commercial or industrial properties are adjacent to residential properties. He concluded by noting that this neighborhood is transitioning from open agricultural fields and a small number of homes to light business uses, as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. The goal is to manage change and find effective ways to protect everyone’s interests during that transition. He noted that the Town has established a good track record at managing neighborhood change and minimizing negative impacts on any lawful uses during the transition to the future land use of the area.

8. REZONING (Z-01-17) – REQUESTED BY JOSEPH E. BERKEN AND CARLA J. BERKEN, TO REZONE 3325 E. FIRST AVENUE AND 9 VACANT PARCELS INDENTIFIED IN THE CLEM ROMENESKO PLAT FROM AGD GENERAL AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO IND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT. (ORDINANCE NO. O-04-2017)

Commission Sherman stated that while he could support rezoning of the 9 vacant lots, he has concern for rezoning the lot that has a building on it already. In response to a question from Commissioner Sherman, Director Buckingham recommended that since a single rezoning application was submitted for all 10 parcels, the request be considered on that basis. He also provided additional information about the property containing the existing building and explained the process for converting that building to a commercial use. Motion (Stadel/Hidde) to recommend approval of the rezoning (Z-01-17) requested by Joseph E. Berken and Carla J. Berken, to rezone 3325 E. First Avenue and 9 vacant parcels identified in the Clem Romenesko Plat from AGD General Agricultural District to IND Industrial District. Motion carried on a vote of 6-1, with Commissioner Sherman voting no.

DEVELOPMENT LLC AND VERIZON WIRELESS, FOR CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A MOBILE SERVICE SUPPORT STRUCTURE (TOWER), AND MOBILE SERVICE FACILITY (COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT) AT 5555 W. WISCONSIN AVENUE.

Chairman Schowalter opened Public Hearing #2 at 6:45 p.m. David Schroth, N993 Mayflower Road, stated that he does not like the idea of a cell tower being built in that area. He expressed the opinion that it would be better if an existing structure could be used, like the Grand Chute water tower.

MEMORANDUM

To: Chairman Schowalter and Plan Commission members From: Michael Patza, Town Planner Date: April 13, 2017 Subject: Public Participation Plan for the update of the Town’s Bicycle & Pedestrian Strategy BACKGROUND

The Grand Chute Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategy, adopted in 2012, was established to enhance the bicycle and pedestrian network within the Town. A copy of the Strategy can be found on the Town of Grand Chute website at the following location: http://www.grandchute.net/departments/community-development/general/pedestrian-and-bicycle-strategy/. Since the adoption of the Strategy, a great deal of progress has been made to enhance the network of facilities throughout the community. These efforts have been supported by staff, elected officials, developers, and residents. The Town recognizes that even with the recent progress and improvements to bicycle and pedestrian network, opportunities exist to enhance that network and create a community that is even more bicycle and pedestrian friendly. The update process will provide the opportunity for staff and elected officials to refocus efforts to enhance the bicycle and pedestrian network within the Town. ANALYSIS

Grand Chute Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategy

Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update

Public Participation Plan

Background Information – Grand Chute Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategy

The Grand Chute Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategy, adopted in 2012, was established to enhance

the bicycle and pedestrian network by addressing four focus areas:

1. Creating Connections

2. Broadening Access

3. Enhancing Safety

4. Increasing Capacity

Through the four focus areas, the Strategy identifies and prioritizes key bicycle and pedestrian corri-

dors in the community, and identifies key destinations that would receive the greatest benefit from

connectivity to the bicycle and pedestrian network. The Strategy also analyzes and highlights the

types of facilities that would be most suitable in different areas throughout the Town. Since the

adoption of the Strategy, a great deal of progress has been made to enhance the network of facili-

ties throughout the community. These efforts have been supported by staff, elected officials, devel-

opers, and residents.

Update to the Grand Chute Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategy

The update process will evaluate progress that has been made over the past five years regarding

implementation of the Strategy. The Town recognizes that even with the recent progress and im-

provements to bicycle and pedestrian network, opportunities exist to enhance that network and cre-

ate a community that is even more bicycle and pedestrian friendly. The update process will provide

the opportunity for staff and elected officials to refocus efforts to enhance the bicycle and pedestrian

network within the Town. Below is a list of key priorities that will be targeted through the update pro-

cess:

Update the inventory of existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities within the Town.

Reevaluate the future bicycle and pedestrian network.

Identify bicycle and pedestrian facilities best suited for implementation in the Town.

Identify areas where bicycle and pedestrian safety concerns exist.

Prioritize the implementation of future bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

Ensure future bicycle and pedestrian facilities connect to facilities in neighboring commu-

nities, creating a cohesive regional network.

Public Participation Process

The public participation process will engage a wide range of stakeholders to provide input on the up-

date to the Grand Chute Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategy. The process will allow participation

through a variety of outreach techniques that aim to reach residents from all demographic groups

within the Town. Additional efforts will engage stakeholders from the business and educational sec-

tors to collect input from their prospective. An evaluation component will help to evaluate efforts the

Town has taken to enhance the bicycle and pedestrian network within the community over the past 5

years. The evaluation component will also identify areas of the community that lack sufficient bicycle

and pedestrian facilities. The public participation process will help prioritize upcoming projects within

the Town and prioritize corridors that are in need of bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
