JOINT MEETING – TOWN BOARD AND PLAN COMMISSION

June 16, 2003

 

Chairman St. Thomas called the Joint meeting of June 16, 2003 to order at 7:00 p.m.

Present:  Chairman St. Thomas; Supervisors Napgezek, Baade, and Case; Hwy Dept. Superintendent Brown,

Attorney Chapman, Richard Mace from Waukesha County Parks and Land Use; Plan Commissioners Runyard, Heinrich, Garvey, Navin and Peregrine;

 

Brett Engelking, Director of Development from Bielinski Builders presented the site plan for Bay Pointe Condominiums, a 135-unit complex consisting of single unit buildings and duplex units.  The layout and road design is basically the same as that presented by former owner, Terry Van Lare.  There are 4 elevations for each model, which will give the units different exterior looks with basically the same floor plan. When Van Lare originally presented his plans, the conditional use stated that all the condo dwelling units would be no less than 1600 sq. ft. and no more than 3200 sq. ft.  Mr. Engelking requested an amendment to the conditional use to allow no less than 1500 sq. ft. and no more than 3400 sq. ft on a double.  This development is intended for the “empty nester”, therefore all units are ranch style (single floor) two bedroom units.  Mr. Peregrine said that originally, Van Lare was told that the units surrounding the entrance on the southwest corner should be designed as slightly larger single unit buildings to better “transition” from the $700,000.00 to $800,000.00 homes across the street.

 

The plans do include relocating Nelson Road, a walking trail, and remodeling the current Landscape Co. building into a clubhouse. Mr. Engelking was reminded of the cistern requirements for sub-divisions and this will be addressed at a later date.  Mr. Engelking asked about a “phasing carry-over” as it relates to sewer RECS.  There will be nothing ready to hook-up to sewer before 2004.  He’s thinking 45 units in year one, then 25 units each year.  Chairman St. Thomas indicated that if all negotiations with the City get finalized; we should have 1,150 RECS to use as the Town sees fit.  There was a brief discussion of whether the roads should be public or private. Mace said the County would have a problem with private and St. Thomas thought private might be good because of projected budget cuts.

 

The meeting adjourned at 7:47 p.m.

5.      The State of Wisconsin has announced that they will be ready to redo the Mill Street Bridge in 2004 (the project has been on hold for many years).  The Board was receptive to this project; therefore, St. Thomas will present the amendments for approval at the next board meeting.
