expressed concerns about the following: 1)
projected cost of rental units and how they will affect property values of
nearby residences; 2) amount of green space; 3) population density; 4) size of
the single family lots compared to the current Town requirement of 15,000 sq.
ft.; 5) desire for Commission members to represent the people of the Town rather
than developers and 6) to preserve the rural character of the Town.
D. Herold moved to return to the regular agenda.
M. VanLanen seconded. All in
favor, motion carried.
Mr. Harrill asked for feedback from the Commission about the
direction they might wish the developer to take.
Commission members expressed the following: 1) concerns that
the condo area is too dense and single family lots are too small;
2) that there is a need for the Town to have a variety of housing to gain
village status; 3) since Brown County has 30% vacancy on multi-family, current
need for multi-family units in the Town is debatable; 4) concerns about the low
cost of the single family homes and the low rent on multi-family; 5) continuity
is lacking with neighboring developments; 6) readiness of the Town for 96
multifamily units (including police protection); 7) concern about placement of
multi-unit buildings and duplexes.
D. Cerny stated that the Subdivision Ordinance is the one
that relates to this development and it does allow flexibility to waive density
and lot size requirements. He reviewed density possibilities based on the
ordinance and stated the proposed development is considerably under the density
that would be allowed based on the ordinance.
He stated that this concept lines up with area development plan and
proposed trail plans, would have a 3-5 year phase-in development, and that roads
in the condo development will be private.
The consensus of the Commission was that developers should;
1) decrease total density, 2) increase green space, 3) keep lot size on single
family units to 15,000 square feet and on duplexes to 20,000 sq. ft. and 4)
reduce condo density.
8. Review/take
action on a proposal by Daanen & Janssen to partner with the Town of Scott
in the development of a 17 acre park and recreational area on a portion of
Parcels #454 & 454-1, located east of the D&J Quarry.
D. Cerny referred members to Staff Comments (Item 4,
Attachment 1, p. 3-5). Bill Daanen
representing Daanen & Janssen provided further details about the plan
including the written proposal, maps of the area, and a certificate of liability
insurance (Item 8, Attachment 1, pages 1-4).
He requested that the Town act as a “silent partner” in order for
Daanen & Janssen to apply for state funding to help with the plan.
L. Walschinski, moved and B. Fuhr seconded that the Town
should partner with Daanen & Janssen on the 17 acre park & recreational
area proposal. All in favor. Motion
carried.
