WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:02.000
To order, this is a meeting of the

00:02.000 --> 00:05.640
Poor Washington Planning Commission on May 21st, 2026.

00:05.640 --> 00:07.880
Happy birthday to Barb Matera and Tom Nitsky.

00:07.880 --> 00:10.440
Roll call, all members are here.

00:10.440 --> 00:12.080
And I'm looking for someone to approve

00:12.080 --> 00:13.980
the previous meeting minutes.

00:13.980 --> 00:15.120
Second.

00:15.120 --> 00:16.280
There's a motion and a second.

00:16.280 --> 00:18.600
Any questions or concerns on the motion?

00:18.600 --> 00:21.120
Seeing none, all in favor signify by saying aye.

00:21.120 --> 00:21.960
Aye.

00:21.960 --> 00:22.800
Opposed?

00:22.800 --> 00:23.840
Okay, motion carries.

00:23.840 --> 00:25.960
I'm gonna move up agenda item five,

00:25.960 --> 00:29.720
which was added later to right after

00:29.720 --> 00:30.560
the public comments.

00:30.560 --> 00:32.720
Is there anyone here to make public comments tonight?

00:34.200 --> 00:36.760
Okay, there are no public comments.

00:36.760 --> 00:39.680
So that brings us into agenda item five.

00:39.680 --> 00:43.480
I'm gonna skip over four and end on the Sony Code Rewrite.

00:43.480 --> 00:45.080
Agenda item number five is consideration

00:45.080 --> 00:47.840
and possible action on a proposed public sculpture piece

00:47.840 --> 00:51.080
for Coldock Park at 190 South Wisconsin Street.

00:51.080 --> 00:54.400
The project is being asked to provide a recommendation

00:54.400 --> 00:57.720
of the common council on proposal and install a Coldock Park.

00:57.720 --> 01:01.040
The project is fully funded and ready to go.

01:01.040 --> 01:02.480
And the staff is recommending approval

01:02.480 --> 01:04.920
of the proposed sculpture at Coldock Park.

01:04.920 --> 01:05.760
Mr. Harris.

01:15.640 --> 01:16.960
No, but.

01:23.360 --> 01:24.760
Never been muted before.

01:25.760 --> 01:27.080
So.

01:27.080 --> 01:29.280
Do I have that, do I have that power from here?

01:34.600 --> 01:37.720
So the city has received a donation

01:37.720 --> 01:40.000
in the amount of $100,000.

01:40.000 --> 01:43.120
And that donation is for the creation

01:43.120 --> 01:46.360
and the installation of a sculpture

01:46.360 --> 01:50.200
to be placed at Coldock Park.

01:50.200 --> 01:51.920
And actually that's consistent

01:51.920 --> 01:55.920
with the 2009 Coldock Park master plan.

01:57.120 --> 01:59.200
And this is kind of an initiative

01:59.200 --> 02:01.200
that I know the mayor has been working on

02:01.200 --> 02:03.240
for a few years now.

02:03.240 --> 02:07.680
And along with the friends of the park and rec

02:07.680 --> 02:11.040
and now with this donation,

02:11.040 --> 02:14.440
there's the proposal and that will take the $100,000

02:14.440 --> 02:16.840
both for the creation of the sculpture

02:16.840 --> 02:20.240
and also the remaining funds about $20,000

02:20.280 --> 02:24.000
will be placed in an account for its maintenance.

02:24.000 --> 02:29.160
And so I'm just going to show the commission real quick.

02:29.160 --> 02:32.840
The location and what the sculpture will look like.

02:32.840 --> 02:36.760
So here is the 2009 Coldock Park plan.

02:36.760 --> 02:40.400
And in the highlighted in red is the first,

02:40.400 --> 02:42.560
the idea that there was a sculpture garden

02:42.560 --> 02:47.160
always kind of thought of or envisioned for this property.

02:47.160 --> 02:49.760
Kind of within that teardrop island

02:49.760 --> 02:53.520
that's created by that ring road of parking.

02:53.520 --> 02:58.520
And then this is just kind of the perspective of that teardrop

02:59.680 --> 03:04.680
from looking east where the lighthouse is lined up

03:06.040 --> 03:09.120
and it'll be in this general location.

03:09.120 --> 03:12.440
And then this is the proposed sculpture,

03:12.440 --> 03:15.520
the Isle of Port Washington sculpture.

03:15.520 --> 03:20.240
And so there was kind of this research done

03:20.240 --> 03:23.440
given that this is the Coldock Park land.

03:23.440 --> 03:24.560
This is Lake Bed land.

03:24.560 --> 03:26.120
This is We Energy's land.

03:26.120 --> 03:28.120
And the recommendation from council

03:28.120 --> 03:33.120
is that the formal process should be

03:33.240 --> 03:36.080
that this should have an approval and recommendation

03:36.080 --> 03:39.000
from both planned commission and council.

03:39.000 --> 03:41.840
And that's why we are here tonight.

03:41.840 --> 03:45.960
The recommendation is by part is to recommend

03:45.960 --> 03:49.160
and I'll just hand it over to the mayor and the council.

03:51.160 --> 03:53.040
Yep, you did a nice job covering that Bob.

03:53.040 --> 03:58.040
The sculpture is supposed to begin its manufacturing

03:58.520 --> 04:02.080
if it's a final approve tonight early next week.

04:02.080 --> 04:06.320
And then installation should be here in the middle of June

04:06.320 --> 04:07.960
with anticipation that it's done well

04:07.960 --> 04:10.000
before the 4th of July and fish day.

04:10.000 --> 04:11.920
The heart will be painted red.

04:11.920 --> 04:14.680
The I and PW will be painted

04:14.680 --> 04:18.640
in almost a matching color of the lighthouse.

04:18.640 --> 04:21.000
And then the way it'll be set is

04:22.200 --> 04:26.160
if you are walking along the inner harbor on the sidewalk,

04:26.160 --> 04:28.800
when you get to the last staircase in the teardrop

04:28.800 --> 04:30.760
that Bob was referring to,

04:30.760 --> 04:34.080
it will be just to the south of that.

04:34.080 --> 04:37.760
And then it will be angled in a fashion

04:37.760 --> 04:40.680
so that when you're downtown at Rotary Park,

04:40.680 --> 04:42.640
inventors, brew pub, et cetera,

04:42.640 --> 04:44.160
you'll be able to read and see it.

04:44.160 --> 04:48.720
But then it is also designed so that our hope

04:48.720 --> 04:50.400
and my hope with this particular sculpture

04:50.400 --> 04:52.520
was that this would become kind of the focal point

04:52.520 --> 04:57.040
for homecoming, prom, wedding pictures, reunions,

04:57.040 --> 04:58.080
welcome, production.

04:58.080 --> 05:00.640
But then also draw more people over to Coldock Park.

05:00.640 --> 05:03.320
It's a highly underutilized space

05:03.320 --> 05:05.200
because it's not really easy to get to

05:05.200 --> 05:06.360
if you don't know how to navigate it.

05:06.360 --> 05:08.160
So that's what it is.

05:08.160 --> 05:09.760
It's being donated by Cloverleaf

05:09.760 --> 05:13.640
and then CD Smith gave an additional $10,000

05:13.640 --> 05:15.760
so that we could keep a fund for maintenance.

05:15.760 --> 05:17.880
It will be fully landscaped around the platform

05:17.880 --> 05:19.040
on a concrete platform.

05:19.040 --> 05:21.800
It will be poured into the platform.

05:21.800 --> 05:24.720
And then it will be what is it magnetically painted

05:24.720 --> 05:29.240
so it'll be painted very well.

05:29.240 --> 05:31.400
So it's kind of the background.

05:31.400 --> 05:32.920
That's this.

05:32.920 --> 05:35.280
So any other questions on that or wonderings?

05:37.360 --> 05:39.400
I'm just writing it for you.

05:39.400 --> 05:41.240
Lighting is included in it.

05:41.240 --> 05:44.080
So it will be lit from a distance

05:44.080 --> 05:47.720
and it will be lit throughout the evening.

05:47.720 --> 05:51.560
So yeah, so the money raised was to ensure

05:51.560 --> 05:54.080
that we could light it, landscape it and then maintain it.

05:54.080 --> 05:57.400
So there'll be a fund kept by the Friends of Park and Rec

05:57.400 --> 06:00.280
to be able to offer repairs, et cetera for it.

06:01.360 --> 06:02.560
Yeah, good question.

06:02.560 --> 06:03.920
Sorry, I missed that point.

06:07.000 --> 06:08.560
Is it steel?

06:08.560 --> 06:09.840
Yeah, it's also steel.

06:09.840 --> 06:12.360
Yeah, it's fabricated and it's not tubular

06:12.360 --> 06:13.440
but I think it, what is it?

06:13.440 --> 06:14.760
I think it's a foot wide.

06:16.920 --> 06:20.080
Yeah, it is being manufactured up in the Fond du Lac area.

06:20.080 --> 06:20.920
Okay.

06:21.800 --> 06:23.800
And CD Smith fled out the whole project for us

06:23.800 --> 06:26.360
and donated, like I said, some time and effort

06:26.360 --> 06:28.240
as well as some money.

06:30.000 --> 06:31.800
I'll move approval.

06:31.800 --> 06:32.920
There's a motion to approve.

06:32.920 --> 06:34.320
Roger, did you have a question?

06:35.320 --> 06:36.480
Although I just can't make a second

06:36.480 --> 06:38.480
so we can stay on a little Robert's motion.

06:38.480 --> 06:39.840
Okay, so there's a motion and a second

06:39.840 --> 06:41.280
and did you have something, Roger?

06:41.280 --> 06:42.880
I just say, I'm in favor of public art

06:42.880 --> 06:44.560
so I'm all for this.

06:44.560 --> 06:46.360
Yep, appreciate that.

06:46.360 --> 06:48.920
Okay, any other questions on this?

06:48.920 --> 06:51.240
All right, seeing none, all in favor signify by saying aye.

06:51.240 --> 06:53.320
Aye. Aye. Opposed?

06:53.320 --> 06:54.960
All right, motion carries.

06:54.960 --> 06:56.080
Roger, I joined with you.

06:56.080 --> 06:59.520
I mean, my hope is that this installation

06:59.520 --> 07:03.520
will then create a consciousness

07:03.520 --> 07:05.000
around other philanthropists that like,

07:05.000 --> 07:09.120
hey, we can actually realize sculptures not just there

07:09.120 --> 07:11.280
but throughout the city to match our murals

07:11.280 --> 07:12.680
that we put in place.

07:12.680 --> 07:16.400
So another reason to visit for Washington or to stay.

07:16.400 --> 07:19.160
All right, that brings us into agenda item number four,

07:19.160 --> 07:21.880
which is the zoning code rewrite.

07:21.880 --> 07:24.000
This is a staff update and discussion item

07:24.000 --> 07:28.280
only on draft articles 18 and appendix C dimensional standards,

07:28.280 --> 07:30.800
19 engineering and environmental standards

07:30.840 --> 07:35.840
and 20 architectural standards for the proposed zoning rewrite.

07:35.840 --> 07:37.520
Mr. Harris, as we move into this,

07:37.520 --> 07:40.640
the one thing that I wanted to just reserve

07:40.640 --> 07:42.840
for your time is a little bit about

07:44.000 --> 07:47.240
when we get into architectural standards,

07:47.240 --> 07:50.480
some of the height considerations for multi-families

07:50.480 --> 07:55.480
that in this draft that I think before we send it to council,

07:55.480 --> 07:56.960
I'd like to get us to consensus

07:56.960 --> 08:00.320
because I don't think everybody wants to go to 48 feet.

08:01.040 --> 08:03.400
No, you'll see that I have shown.

08:03.400 --> 08:05.360
There's a slide for that.

08:05.360 --> 08:07.040
Slide, all right.

08:07.040 --> 08:08.200
You have the floor, sir.

08:08.200 --> 08:10.880
All right, so actually through a little bit

08:10.880 --> 08:13.400
of a lot of information at you.

08:13.400 --> 08:15.160
And so as we're coming in,

08:15.160 --> 08:19.440
starting to kind of come down in altitude

08:19.440 --> 08:23.160
and start lining up for a landing, it's pretty soon.

08:23.160 --> 08:26.960
This is kind of the, you know, some significant chapters.

08:26.960 --> 08:31.400
And so let me just, as I have been doing,

08:31.400 --> 08:34.720
we're just introducing these chapters or articles

08:34.720 --> 08:35.960
as they're technically called.

08:35.960 --> 08:38.440
And then just kind of what some of the,

08:38.440 --> 08:41.800
I'll summarize or just kind of point out some questions

08:41.800 --> 08:44.640
or issues that I want to, you know,

08:44.640 --> 08:48.880
throw at the plan commission for any possible discussions.

08:48.880 --> 08:52.080
So I'll just start going through 18, 19, 20

08:52.120 --> 08:57.040
and then laying out some of the issues for that.

08:57.040 --> 08:59.520
So starting with the dimensional standards.

09:00.720 --> 09:04.160
This is, you know, as we see, you know,

09:04.160 --> 09:06.680
this is defining lot area setbacks.

09:07.520 --> 09:09.040
Building heights, as mentioned,

09:09.040 --> 09:10.760
and we'll get back to that, you know,

09:10.760 --> 09:13.240
and then kind of the accessory garages

09:13.240 --> 09:15.680
and how things are measured, how big they are,

09:15.680 --> 09:18.120
how they're placed on the lots.

09:18.120 --> 09:21.240
But I did want to highlight some

09:21.240 --> 09:25.000
of the building height components to this.

09:25.000 --> 09:27.360
And then again, this is discussion.

09:27.360 --> 09:29.840
We're not deciding anything tonight.

09:29.840 --> 09:31.760
But this is, as the mayor pointed out,

09:31.760 --> 09:33.960
something that we can discuss.

09:33.960 --> 09:37.640
And prior to going into the approval cycle,

09:37.640 --> 09:41.320
try to get some consensus between now and then.

09:41.320 --> 09:45.000
So real quick, a little highlight that I thought

09:45.000 --> 09:47.160
was actually having the diagrams

09:47.160 --> 09:51.400
of how certain buildings with rooflines are measured.

09:51.400 --> 09:54.760
I know in the past, there was always sometimes

09:54.760 --> 09:57.040
some confusion with how building heights are measured,

09:57.040 --> 09:59.840
particularly our garage heights measured

09:59.840 --> 10:02.560
when we would have some of these special exceptions.

10:02.560 --> 10:05.360
And so we kind of have a picture for everyone.

10:05.360 --> 10:09.720
And I think it kind of demonstrates, you know,

10:09.720 --> 10:11.360
how to measure based on these rooflines.

10:11.360 --> 10:14.800
This is actually too much different from our current code.

10:14.800 --> 10:17.240
It's just that when you see the diagram

10:17.240 --> 10:18.840
it makes a big difference.

10:18.840 --> 10:22.200
And so we're going to see them in front of you.

10:22.200 --> 10:23.880
The other item I wanted to bring up,

10:23.880 --> 10:25.520
or just kind of mention at least,

10:25.520 --> 10:30.520
was the idea of a required step back for attached garages.

10:30.600 --> 10:33.360
And I think the intent text that we see here

10:33.360 --> 10:34.600
kind of sums it up.

10:34.600 --> 10:38.000
And it's just so we kind of have in Port Washington

10:38.000 --> 10:41.640
moving forward, if we get this far with this provision,

10:41.640 --> 10:46.640
is highlighting the residential portion of a house

10:46.800 --> 10:49.000
fronting a street and in a neighborhood

10:49.000 --> 10:51.960
rather than, you know, the garage portion of it.

10:51.960 --> 10:55.280
And so the proposal in the zoning code

10:55.280 --> 10:58.240
will be a kind of a modest step back

10:58.240 --> 11:00.360
from the front living portion of the house.

11:00.360 --> 11:03.720
And then, and so the garage doors are, you know,

11:03.720 --> 11:05.560
in this case, they're proposed for like a two,

11:05.560 --> 11:07.800
just a modest two foot setback.

11:07.800 --> 11:10.480
And then that kind of gives, you know,

11:10.480 --> 11:12.160
that kind of gives a prominence

11:12.160 --> 11:14.320
to the residential portion of the house

11:14.320 --> 11:16.800
and kind of its neighborhoods for people

11:16.800 --> 11:21.120
and kind of puts the cars in the back seat, so to speak.

11:21.120 --> 11:23.560
So I just wanted to highlight that.

11:23.560 --> 11:26.800
Just moving into touching on the building heights,

11:26.800 --> 11:30.920
I thought I'd get some previously reviewed

11:30.920 --> 11:35.920
multifamily apartments and kind of showing their heights

11:36.920 --> 11:41.920
in comparison to what is proposed, at least or drafted in.

11:42.320 --> 11:47.320
Real quick, RM4 is the multifamily district

11:49.760 --> 11:51.360
that we have now.

11:51.360 --> 11:56.360
And then R4 will be, is the multi-district

11:57.200 --> 11:58.560
in the proposed code.

11:59.560 --> 12:04.200
As some of you may know, 60 feet has been the maximum height

12:04.280 --> 12:09.160
in our RM4 district for as far as I can tell, decades.

12:09.160 --> 12:11.880
It's a pretty big, it's a pretty tall height.

12:11.880 --> 12:14.360
And I don't think outside of downtown

12:14.360 --> 12:17.800
that it's come up at least since I've been here.

12:17.800 --> 12:20.440
And I remember even when I first got here,

12:20.440 --> 12:23.440
architects remarking that, you know,

12:23.440 --> 12:26.920
for a, you know, outside of a major city

12:26.920 --> 12:29.440
or a density in the Milwaukee area,

12:29.440 --> 12:31.040
you know, they were surprised to see that.

12:31.040 --> 12:36.040
So I think it's outlived its life in this code.

12:36.200 --> 12:39.080
I think it hasn't been used outside of downtown.

12:39.080 --> 12:42.120
And so we're looking at, you know,

12:42.120 --> 12:44.440
changing the maximum height

12:44.440 --> 12:48.400
of our dense multifamily district that we'll have.

12:48.400 --> 12:51.360
Currently in the draft that you had, it is 60 feet.

12:51.360 --> 12:54.720
I've since, you know, given the heads up to our consultants

12:54.720 --> 12:56.440
that this should come down.

12:57.520 --> 12:59.880
I have the suggestion at 48 feet,

12:59.880 --> 13:01.920
it's actually, I eventually have a suggestion

13:01.920 --> 13:04.720
that previously was 42 feet.

13:04.720 --> 13:07.560
And I can just show, you know, how we get there.

13:07.560 --> 13:11.320
So real quick, the apartment on the top,

13:11.320 --> 13:15.680
that was a proposal that you saw last year,

13:15.680 --> 13:17.840
late last year on Seven Hills Road

13:17.840 --> 13:20.360
between the Holiday Inn and the parking ride a lot.

13:20.360 --> 13:22.120
This is a four-story building.

13:22.120 --> 13:25.200
And based on their submitted elevations,

13:25.200 --> 13:26.800
granted it was just a concept plan,

13:26.800 --> 13:29.080
but their submitted elevations showed

13:29.080 --> 13:34.040
about a 49-foot building height up to the top,

13:34.040 --> 13:35.920
the ridge line or the top of the roof.

13:37.640 --> 13:41.960
This is a slide below is a cardinal capital proposal

13:41.960 --> 13:44.360
from about seven years ago on LL.

13:44.360 --> 13:49.120
Again, a four-story building and looking at,

13:49.120 --> 13:51.160
it was approximately 46,

13:51.160 --> 13:54.520
and not approximately 46 feet.

13:54.520 --> 13:56.120
Again, this is a flat roof,

13:56.120 --> 13:58.380
so up to that flat roof line.

13:59.240 --> 14:02.160
A little more perspective for you all,

14:02.160 --> 14:04.560
looking at the recent police and fire building.

14:05.680 --> 14:10.680
That top section over the overhead fire doors is 35 feet.

14:11.680 --> 14:16.680
45 feet is actually the top of the base of the host tower

14:17.440 --> 14:21.040
and then the light fixture, that part is above it.

14:21.040 --> 14:24.160
So just to give you perspective of 35 feet,

14:24.160 --> 14:26.280
looks like 45 feet looks like.

14:26.280 --> 14:29.120
And then getting to that 42 feet,

14:29.120 --> 14:33.160
that was that I kind of suggest,

14:33.160 --> 14:34.720
that has been discussed.

14:34.720 --> 14:39.600
And this is kind of the harbor springs on Highway 32,

14:39.600 --> 14:41.800
which I think is a, you know,

14:41.800 --> 14:43.080
the scale of that building,

14:43.080 --> 14:45.880
I think really granted it's oriented,

14:45.880 --> 14:50.880
you know, the short faces is fronting 32.

14:51.880 --> 14:56.000
But I think overall, this is a nice scale for port.

14:56.000 --> 14:59.640
And then you can see how it's about 42,

14:59.640 --> 15:02.840
approximately 42 feet, again, to that ridge line.

15:02.840 --> 15:06.320
And so I think, you know,

15:06.320 --> 15:08.240
I don't think there's any argument

15:08.240 --> 15:10.200
about getting away from that 60 feet.

15:10.200 --> 15:12.360
And then the discussion is,

15:12.360 --> 15:15.120
how do we, where do we wanna land?

15:15.120 --> 15:18.320
42 feet, 45 feet, 48 feet.

15:18.360 --> 15:21.400
And then we also have to take into consideration,

15:21.400 --> 15:25.280
you know, the different types of roof lines.

15:25.280 --> 15:26.600
So how we measure that.

15:26.600 --> 15:29.160
So that's what I really wanted to bring

15:29.160 --> 15:32.160
to the commission's attention.

15:32.160 --> 15:33.960
Maybe have some discussion tonight,

15:33.960 --> 15:36.040
and that can continue.

15:37.280 --> 15:40.400
Just moving along and highlighting the next chapter,

15:40.400 --> 15:42.200
as far as architectural standards.

15:42.200 --> 15:43.520
Well, let me back up.

15:43.520 --> 15:46.280
Engineering and environmental standards,

15:46.280 --> 15:49.680
not much to them, it's a short chapter.

15:49.680 --> 15:51.920
And a lot of it is just kind of required items,

15:51.920 --> 15:54.600
like state's required items.

15:54.600 --> 15:57.800
It does make a provision for the commission,

15:57.800 --> 16:01.400
can make have the power to require a,

16:01.400 --> 16:03.840
or ask for a traffic study

16:03.840 --> 16:06.400
for any development that comes up.

16:06.400 --> 16:09.080
The only thing I would add is just,

16:09.080 --> 16:11.120
instead of requiring a traffic study

16:11.120 --> 16:14.240
for certain benchmarks of a development,

16:15.000 --> 16:17.240
I think it'd be best and a little more flexible

16:17.240 --> 16:20.480
if this is an optional tool

16:20.480 --> 16:23.000
that the commission can have in their back pocket

16:23.000 --> 16:25.920
and not necessarily a requirement.

16:25.920 --> 16:29.440
I think I can opine on parking studies.

16:29.440 --> 16:32.000
I think the city engineer can as well.

16:32.000 --> 16:33.720
I think it'd be a little more flexible

16:33.720 --> 16:38.280
if you just have that ability on a case-to-case basis

16:38.280 --> 16:40.720
and rather than requiring one.

16:41.080 --> 16:44.520
And then finally moving to architectural standards.

16:44.520 --> 16:46.600
A couple of highlights in my report,

16:48.120 --> 16:52.400
requiring a four-sided architecture in defined cases.

16:52.400 --> 16:55.000
What that means is that it's not just

16:55.000 --> 16:57.920
the nice face of the building,

16:57.920 --> 17:02.920
it's on the front having kind of the architectural,

17:04.400 --> 17:06.360
the nicer architectural details,

17:06.360 --> 17:10.360
but if there's a building backing into a residential,

17:10.360 --> 17:15.360
then so the public right-of-way facing front

17:15.680 --> 17:17.480
should also have some type of standards

17:17.480 --> 17:20.680
for the residential portions as well.

17:20.680 --> 17:23.960
It's not just residential, it's just if it's visible

17:23.960 --> 17:27.560
and it's not requiring a full treatment,

17:27.560 --> 17:31.240
but for example, if you're driving down 43 south in Mequon,

17:31.240 --> 17:36.240
you see that longer strip mall that backs into 43.

17:36.480 --> 17:39.520
Four-sided architecture also can just include matching

17:39.520 --> 17:41.840
paint color in some of the details.

17:41.840 --> 17:43.560
And on that strip mall, Mequon,

17:43.560 --> 17:46.560
you see like the blue matching color in the front,

17:46.560 --> 17:50.920
there's trim paint and it just kind of helps it blend in

17:50.920 --> 17:54.600
rather than the stark unfinished or untreated

17:54.600 --> 17:57.640
block brick masonry or what have you.

17:57.640 --> 18:01.600
The other one is when, I think it's the one

18:01.600 --> 18:03.120
that was the family dollar,

18:03.120 --> 18:07.720
I remember talking to Marty Becker when he was mayor

18:07.760 --> 18:10.280
and he told a story about how the city required

18:10.280 --> 18:13.280
some type of finishing product on the roof lines

18:13.280 --> 18:15.200
since it was backing up onto the residential.

18:15.200 --> 18:18.600
So that's what it means by four-sided architecture.

18:18.600 --> 18:22.160
It's just nice having that codified in a new zoning code.

18:23.080 --> 18:27.480
The other item is just pointing out scale,

18:27.480 --> 18:32.000
scale of residential homes next to each other,

18:32.000 --> 18:35.240
but also when there's a residential district,

18:35.240 --> 18:37.440
a budding and non-residential district

18:37.440 --> 18:39.880
and requiring a certain kind of scale.

18:39.880 --> 18:44.880
So in the example above, there's an idea

18:45.840 --> 18:50.840
where residential additions within a residential district,

18:52.200 --> 18:54.280
the plan commission and the code

18:54.280 --> 18:57.040
would provide some language to prevent kind of,

18:57.040 --> 19:00.400
and this is an exaggeration example for port,

19:00.400 --> 19:04.400
but this is an actual, this actually happened.

19:04.400 --> 19:07.240
And so to prevent kind of these out of scale additions

19:07.960 --> 19:10.960
or new homes that could be part of any rebuild.

19:10.960 --> 19:13.160
So it's not just completely,

19:13.160 --> 19:17.720
it's preventing some form exaggerated or not

19:17.720 --> 19:19.760
this type of situation.

19:21.000 --> 19:21.840
Excuse me.

19:23.400 --> 19:26.080
Wanna note this picture here

19:26.080 --> 19:28.880
with the large residential addition.

19:28.880 --> 19:31.000
This is a recent story from the New York Times

19:31.000 --> 19:33.760
and I remember noting that when I was reading it,

19:33.760 --> 19:36.560
but I also got an email from a resident

19:36.600 --> 19:38.080
referring to the same article.

19:38.080 --> 19:39.840
So that kind of, you know,

19:39.840 --> 19:42.120
there was kind of nice to see that.

19:42.120 --> 19:44.560
The code is covering what, you know,

19:44.560 --> 19:47.400
what kind of public input I've received so far.

19:47.400 --> 19:49.120
The other items are just kind of simple.

19:49.120 --> 19:52.080
Like for example, in the design review board

19:52.080 --> 19:54.840
kind of is on top of this, but taking these large,

19:54.840 --> 19:56.680
some of these multifamily buildings

19:56.680 --> 19:58.800
or commercial buildings for that matter

19:58.800 --> 20:02.560
and just ensuring what I put as a building needs a hat.

20:02.560 --> 20:05.680
That's kind of my, one of my little pet peeves

20:05.680 --> 20:07.400
of certain types of architecture,

20:07.400 --> 20:09.920
particularly some that's going on today

20:09.920 --> 20:12.520
where you just have minimal coping

20:12.520 --> 20:14.640
really or no parapets at all.

20:14.640 --> 20:18.560
So this code is gonna require that we get it,

20:18.560 --> 20:21.960
we don't have this situation in the bottom left-hand sort

20:21.960 --> 20:24.000
where it's just kind of this flat building

20:24.000 --> 20:27.000
with minimal treatment at the rough edge.

20:27.000 --> 20:31.160
So we kind of have some visual variety

20:31.160 --> 20:32.880
and distinction at the top.

20:32.880 --> 20:37.280
And then just a simple thing of requiring mechanical screening.

20:37.280 --> 20:40.200
That's not a, it's not something that's in our code

20:40.200 --> 20:43.760
and that's a pretty standard requirement.

20:44.760 --> 20:46.880
I think that's all I have for this.

20:46.880 --> 20:49.240
But I know going back to discussion here

20:49.240 --> 20:54.240
is the idea of our multi, our RM4 type of multifamily

20:56.360 --> 20:59.480
and getting away from 60 feet and where do we wanna land?

20:59.480 --> 21:01.600
I will note that it's not much of an issue

21:01.600 --> 21:04.120
for the remaining districts, they're all pretty consistent

21:04.120 --> 21:08.160
or it's all pretty much the same as what we have now.

21:08.160 --> 21:10.640
Residential districts in our current code,

21:10.640 --> 21:12.080
it's always been 30 feet.

21:13.160 --> 21:15.520
There's a newer addition where it's gonna be,

21:15.520 --> 21:17.720
it's proposed they have 32 feet.

21:17.720 --> 21:21.800
The older multifamily districts in the proposed code,

21:21.800 --> 21:25.960
there hasn't changed, it's about 35 feet or so.

21:25.960 --> 21:30.040
So it's really this RM4, this high density multifamily district

21:30.880 --> 21:34.720
that's really bears or needs some discussion

21:34.720 --> 21:37.080
on where we wanna go with that.

21:37.080 --> 21:39.560
And with that, I'll stop my summary

21:39.560 --> 21:41.280
and throw it over to the commission.

21:42.880 --> 21:44.520
Questions or wonderings for Bob?

21:46.040 --> 21:46.880
Mr. Ehrlich.

21:48.160 --> 21:50.440
Quick question I have is in

21:53.240 --> 21:56.240
where you start looking at how you're measuring the heights,

21:56.240 --> 21:59.880
building heights and how you've shown

21:59.880 --> 22:04.200
that graphic and where you kind of cut the peak in half

22:04.200 --> 22:05.320
and so on and so forth.

22:05.320 --> 22:07.480
But we're not being very consistent

22:07.480 --> 22:10.280
if you're looking at some of the other things

22:10.280 --> 22:12.880
where you're going to the peak, you know what I mean?

22:12.880 --> 22:15.640
We have to make sure that we're very clear

22:15.640 --> 22:18.120
where we're changing it, if we're going to change it

22:18.120 --> 22:20.480
or if we're gonna count that 42 feet

22:20.480 --> 22:24.320
or that 45 feet to the middle, correct.

22:24.320 --> 22:28.640
Okay, and then the other thing that I wanted to talk about

22:28.640 --> 22:32.040
which is not on the slide is there's exceptions

22:32.040 --> 22:34.440
to the building height that you have.

22:35.640 --> 22:38.480
And that was something that was kind of a thing

22:38.480 --> 22:40.080
of contention on some buildings

22:40.080 --> 22:43.800
that were proposed here in downtown.

22:43.800 --> 22:46.320
One of it is the elevator penthouse,

22:46.320 --> 22:49.360
allowing that to go above that minimum height.

22:51.080 --> 22:52.800
Is that, I just wanna make sure

22:52.800 --> 22:54.160
that we're all on the same page

22:54.160 --> 22:56.920
that that's an exception that we want

22:56.920 --> 23:01.920
or is it, look, it's 45 feet and that's it, you know?

23:02.240 --> 23:04.840
Now downtown will have its own, really?

23:04.840 --> 23:06.200
Okay, yeah.

23:08.040 --> 23:11.000
I mean, and I'm not saying one way or another at this point,

23:11.000 --> 23:13.040
I just wanna make sure that we're all on the same page

23:13.040 --> 23:18.040
that that doesn't become something that it's, well, yeah, but,

23:18.880 --> 23:19.720
you know.

23:19.720 --> 23:21.440
I'm sorry, I agree with you on that

23:21.440 --> 23:26.440
because one of the notes I took in my packet was,

23:27.440 --> 23:31.960
if we set it at 48 or 42 or 51 feet,

23:32.840 --> 23:35.320
how often are we gonna be sitting here

23:35.320 --> 23:37.440
going against the intention which was to be able

23:37.440 --> 23:39.920
to just simply call balls and strikes on everything

23:39.920 --> 23:41.920
and then have people coming in for variances

23:41.920 --> 23:45.960
because as we saw with the potential apartment development

23:45.960 --> 23:47.680
on the north side, that's a canned,

23:47.680 --> 23:49.640
pre-architecturally designed, developed piece

23:49.640 --> 23:51.840
with a good ROI for the developer

23:51.840 --> 23:54.280
and who the heck is poor Washington to say,

23:54.280 --> 23:56.800
I can't be at 46 feet, every other community in the world

23:56.800 --> 23:59.920
is at 46 feet, so how do I cut four feet off of this

23:59.920 --> 24:02.480
or how do I add, you know, those different pieces?

24:02.480 --> 24:06.080
Because I, when we can set it wherever we want to,

24:07.160 --> 24:09.280
and make that recommendation up to council,

24:09.280 --> 24:11.720
I just, my greater concern is,

24:13.400 --> 24:16.120
wherever we set it, I just want it to be in a spot

24:16.120 --> 24:20.960
where that's a standard for that type of level development

24:20.960 --> 24:23.440
because I don't think poor Washington is appropriate

24:23.440 --> 24:27.920
for eight, nine, 10 stories anywhere yet,

24:27.920 --> 24:30.640
but as we do that, I just want to make sure

24:30.640 --> 24:32.600
that that's something we can answer.

24:33.760 --> 24:37.160
Because I thought we had settled on 42 feet

24:37.160 --> 24:39.480
and when I saw 48, I was a little surprised.

24:39.480 --> 24:40.520
Mr. Reyer?

24:40.520 --> 24:45.520
Yep, yeah, I would echo, I'm at 42 at the top end

24:46.480 --> 24:48.760
for what I would be comfortable with.

24:48.800 --> 24:51.160
You look at the rest of the residential districts

24:51.160 --> 24:53.640
and like Bob said, you're sitting at like 32 feet

24:53.640 --> 24:54.760
for most of them.

24:55.680 --> 24:59.680
The neighbors that came in when the taller buildings

24:59.680 --> 25:01.560
were proposed by the old hospital,

25:01.560 --> 25:04.200
I think we heard them pretty much loud and clear

25:04.200 --> 25:07.400
that when you're dealing with an existing residential

25:07.400 --> 25:09.280
neighborhood, people were not in support

25:09.280 --> 25:11.600
of something that was out of scale.

25:11.600 --> 25:15.000
And there's not too many areas of town

25:15.000 --> 25:17.120
that already have that height.

25:17.120 --> 25:19.160
So almost anywhere you go and anywhere you build

25:19.160 --> 25:21.600
unless you're really separated from that,

25:21.600 --> 25:25.240
you're gonna have existing residential that's shorter

25:25.240 --> 25:28.720
right next to something that could be a lot taller.

25:28.720 --> 25:31.120
And I agree with the two of you, the comments,

25:32.840 --> 25:37.840
either removing the exceptions from anywhere other

25:38.040 --> 25:42.480
than downtown, otherwise you probably are gonna be in here

25:42.480 --> 25:44.920
with each developer with a product

25:44.920 --> 25:47.240
that's been successful somewhere else,

25:47.240 --> 25:50.400
making their case that I can do this project

25:50.400 --> 25:52.920
but only if I get the extra five feet

25:52.920 --> 25:57.480
or the extra six feet or what is the height,

25:57.480 --> 25:59.480
where does the height stop,

25:59.480 --> 26:02.960
then can I do a such and such on top?

26:02.960 --> 26:05.960
And then I feel like we're back to where we've been before

26:05.960 --> 26:08.840
and I would just encourage us as a group

26:08.840 --> 26:13.200
to stick with that shorter height, that 42 feet as a cap

26:14.200 --> 26:19.120
and outside of the downtown area where people might come in

26:19.120 --> 26:21.240
and pitch something that's super unique

26:21.240 --> 26:24.720
and something that the community doesn't wanna pass up on,

26:24.720 --> 26:26.760
really minimizing or removing that exception,

26:26.760 --> 26:30.440
otherwise we'll be faced with that.

26:30.440 --> 26:31.280
So.

26:32.840 --> 26:35.080
Where do other commissioners fall in that?

26:38.520 --> 26:40.480
I'd like to stick with the 42

26:40.480 --> 26:43.200
and talking about the exceptions,

26:43.200 --> 26:45.720
since you and I've been on the planning commission together,

26:45.720 --> 26:49.960
which is I don't wanna get into this variance battle.

26:49.960 --> 26:50.800
Yeah.

26:50.800 --> 26:52.880
I want, no, yes, no, yes, no,

26:52.880 --> 26:54.320
except for the overlay downtown

26:54.320 --> 26:56.800
but I wanna consistent 42.

26:56.800 --> 27:00.400
As well as the planner to be able to stop something

27:00.400 --> 27:03.240
at his desk and say, I'm not gonna recommend that.

27:04.360 --> 27:05.200
Okay.

27:07.200 --> 27:08.240
You okay with 42?

27:09.080 --> 27:11.440
Yeah, I agree with 42 as well,

27:11.440 --> 27:15.040
hearing what you were saying about the existing residential

27:15.040 --> 27:17.640
and then what you mentioned, I think months ago,

27:17.640 --> 27:20.440
about the gateways into town, you know,

27:20.440 --> 27:22.080
the first thing you see, you know,

27:22.080 --> 27:23.520
do you really want something that high?

27:23.520 --> 27:26.960
I think 42 is, I think a better height.

27:28.040 --> 27:31.880
And just something, for me, contextually,

27:31.880 --> 27:33.320
like when I look at, and I'm not,

27:33.320 --> 27:36.200
I don't wanna name any communities,

27:36.200 --> 27:39.240
but there's been some significant apartment growth

27:39.240 --> 27:42.680
in some communities in Ozaki County.

27:42.680 --> 27:44.520
And when you see the scale of some

27:44.520 --> 27:47.040
of those apartment buildings, when you go through,

27:47.040 --> 27:48.520
you know, again, I don't wanna say the name

27:48.520 --> 27:50.080
of the community rhymes with rafting,

27:50.080 --> 27:52.880
but like they're just, they're huge.

27:52.880 --> 27:56.080
And they're kinda weirdly, they're just,

27:56.080 --> 27:59.760
their zoning code must be, I don't know,

27:59.760 --> 28:01.960
it's not critical, but when you drive into town

28:01.960 --> 28:03.640
or you're looking up over the interstate,

28:03.640 --> 28:07.520
it creates that canyon effect that we would lose

28:07.520 --> 28:10.640
a lot of quaintness, and even as we expand to the West

28:10.640 --> 28:13.600
and North and South and Port Washington,

28:13.600 --> 28:16.720
I don't necessarily know that we need that large pieces,

28:16.720 --> 28:19.160
but Roger, what are your thoughts?

28:19.160 --> 28:20.920
Yeah, I guess I'm the only eyeball in here.

28:20.920 --> 28:24.080
I like a four-story building in these areas,

28:24.080 --> 28:27.880
and I guess I equate four stories with 48 feet, so,

28:27.880 --> 28:32.880
I mean, you can always go 42 by going into the ground

28:32.880 --> 28:36.680
and get four stories, but, so, I guess I'm okay with 48,

28:36.680 --> 28:38.800
but I'm not gonna die in that hill.

28:38.800 --> 28:40.120
Yeah.

28:40.120 --> 28:41.040
Darden level.

28:43.680 --> 28:45.240
Right, okay.

28:45.240 --> 28:47.880
I do wanna point out in the proposed code,

28:47.880 --> 28:50.800
it does have a little table of exceptions.

28:52.280 --> 28:57.520
Chimneys, flus, spire steeples, cupolas,

28:57.520 --> 28:59.920
solar chimneys, it does have a,

28:59.920 --> 29:02.400
and then also a elevator pet house.

29:02.760 --> 29:06.400
That's where I kind of was like, okay, we did talk about it,

29:06.400 --> 29:08.880
and so I wanted to make sure everybody knew

29:08.880 --> 29:09.880
what we were getting into,

29:09.880 --> 29:11.520
because these are now exceptions

29:11.520 --> 29:13.880
that we would allow above and beyond that.

29:13.880 --> 29:18.880
So right now, and this is for height outside of downtown,

29:20.360 --> 29:23.720
elevator penthouse, they're proposing up to eight feet

29:23.720 --> 29:25.920
over the maximum building height, which makes sense,

29:25.920 --> 29:28.080
because it's a foot elevator.

29:28.080 --> 29:28.920
Sure.

29:28.920 --> 29:33.920
I'm not gonna get too worried about those exceptions.

29:36.400 --> 29:38.600
It's just, again, if we're sitting in here

29:38.600 --> 29:40.320
in variance hell for an evening,

29:40.320 --> 29:44.920
and then I think that's a greater problem.

29:44.920 --> 29:47.680
I think it might be a nice compromise

29:47.680 --> 29:49.120
to what Roger was saying is,

29:49.120 --> 29:53.120
maybe it allows a little bit more height

29:53.120 --> 29:55.680
so that you could get a little bit higher building.

29:56.680 --> 30:01.240
You know, you can bring the building to the 42 feet,

30:01.240 --> 30:04.640
and then your elevator can go above that if you need it to.

30:07.440 --> 30:09.760
Particularly if it's stepped back enough further

30:09.760 --> 30:13.000
inside the middle of the building floor plate

30:13.000 --> 30:14.160
on the roof plate.

30:14.160 --> 30:15.800
Right, right.

30:16.880 --> 30:18.760
Well, we are making a recommendation,

30:18.760 --> 30:21.720
and our recommendation is, it sounds like 42 feet.

30:22.720 --> 30:25.720
The other recommendation is to provide

30:25.720 --> 30:27.880
an architectural dictionary so I can learn

30:27.880 --> 30:30.440
what a gambrel and a man's art is without,

30:31.880 --> 30:34.440
and a hip cable, these all sound like dance moves

30:34.440 --> 30:35.320
from the 80s.

30:37.160 --> 30:39.880
The man's art is the McDonald's, roughly.

30:39.880 --> 30:42.480
Yeah, no, I see that, but like, I just,

30:42.480 --> 30:45.960
some of the, you know, it's not,

30:45.960 --> 30:49.040
like I just, I don't know if architects lack imagination

30:49.040 --> 30:51.600
in their naming things, or...

30:51.600 --> 30:53.920
There's no lack of imagination in our community.

30:53.920 --> 30:56.600
They're born, yeah, no, just in the words.

30:56.600 --> 30:57.440
Just in the words.

30:57.440 --> 30:58.520
Yeah.

30:58.520 --> 30:59.360
Okay.

30:59.360 --> 31:00.200
I have one question for you.

31:00.200 --> 31:01.120
Mr. Numer?

31:01.120 --> 31:03.240
Just going back to the traffic study,

31:03.240 --> 31:04.840
we're gonna leave as an option.

31:04.840 --> 31:07.520
If we do require that, or a parking study,

31:07.520 --> 31:09.240
does the developer have to pay for that,

31:09.240 --> 31:10.480
or is that on the city?

31:10.480 --> 31:12.920
That's not developer, paying the developer, okay.

31:12.920 --> 31:14.400
That's all it's written in there?

31:14.400 --> 31:15.240
Okay.

31:15.240 --> 31:16.320
Okay, thank you.

31:16.320 --> 31:17.800
I have one other question.

31:17.800 --> 31:18.640
Yeah.

31:18.640 --> 31:19.480
The houses.

31:19.480 --> 31:23.960
So if you, if that design standard gets put in there

31:23.960 --> 31:28.200
and the developer has like a product line of houses

31:28.200 --> 31:30.040
and the menu of options,

31:31.320 --> 31:32.680
does that mean you just sit down with them

31:32.680 --> 31:35.240
and simply say, before you even come in with a plat

31:35.240 --> 31:37.600
and you have like your stock designs,

31:37.600 --> 31:39.480
you just let them know that this is how it is,

31:39.480 --> 31:42.040
and people that wanted to pick that design,

31:42.040 --> 31:43.520
it's just not an option?

31:43.520 --> 31:45.200
Yeah, I've been looking at, you know,

31:45.200 --> 31:50.080
because I'll be talking to kind of the subdivision developers here.

31:51.160 --> 31:52.680
They're kind of trending that way.

31:52.680 --> 31:56.720
This is becoming more of, this is not unique,

31:56.720 --> 31:58.960
this step back for garages.

31:58.960 --> 32:01.160
Yeah, no, I like it.

32:01.160 --> 32:03.440
They have, I've seen like for example,

32:03.440 --> 32:07.880
but both Newman and Billensky, they have products for that.

32:07.880 --> 32:12.720
And so it's much like how garages were a prominent thing,

32:12.720 --> 32:14.080
you know, you can come home from work,

32:14.080 --> 32:17.320
pull into your garage and don't have to worry about anything.

32:17.320 --> 32:18.920
And now we're starting to, you know,

32:18.920 --> 32:22.720
go back to a little more traditional neighborhood development

32:22.720 --> 32:25.960
type of feel for our homes.

32:25.960 --> 32:31.960
And so, this is, I lost track of what was your question.

32:31.960 --> 32:35.960
Yeah, it's as simple as that then.

32:35.960 --> 32:39.560
So just sit down with them and say this is the design.

32:39.560 --> 32:41.560
Yeah, this is where we're going,

32:41.560 --> 32:44.240
this is what the zoning code is being proposed for.

32:44.240 --> 32:46.840
Okay.

32:46.840 --> 32:48.640
Bob, I just want you know, I have high empathy for that,

32:48.640 --> 32:53.720
like trying to thought, you know, 630, mid 50s.

32:53.720 --> 32:55.480
All right.

32:55.480 --> 32:59.720
Appendix C, Zoning Districts and Dimensional Standards.

32:59.720 --> 33:01.640
I didn't have much for that.

33:01.640 --> 33:05.400
It's just kind of a little more diagrammatic

33:05.400 --> 33:08.920
and specific to chapter 18.

33:11.800 --> 33:13.960
I had no questions at anyone else.

33:13.960 --> 33:18.000
No, I just wanted to comment that this is really helpful,

33:18.000 --> 33:22.040
just because I'm digging into the zoning codes a lot.

33:22.040 --> 33:22.880
Yeah.

33:22.880 --> 33:25.040
It's really helpful to, okay, what do they mean by this?

33:25.040 --> 33:28.560
You know, it's so, I appreciate you doing it.

33:28.560 --> 33:30.960
Yeah, I pointed out that, I think in an earlier meeting

33:30.960 --> 33:33.960
where the way how this is coming together,

33:33.960 --> 33:37.440
it's a lot more detailed.

33:37.440 --> 33:40.000
It's a lot more detailed and I think that's helpful.

33:40.000 --> 33:42.720
It's a lot more detailed on spelling out what things are,

33:42.720 --> 33:44.000
what, how they're measured,

33:44.000 --> 33:46.560
and it's also more detailed on the procedure.

33:46.560 --> 33:48.040
Right.

33:48.040 --> 33:51.880
So I think hopefully this will give,

33:53.000 --> 33:55.760
takes out the guesswork, takes out some of the ambiguity.

33:55.760 --> 33:58.520
There'll always be some in a zoning code.

33:58.520 --> 33:59.960
There's a little bit of an art to it,

33:59.960 --> 34:02.000
but I think this is actually,

34:02.000 --> 34:04.720
but this will kind of, I think, really have,

34:04.720 --> 34:08.280
rather going from fuzzy, it's kind of, you know,

34:08.280 --> 34:09.560
more black and white.

34:09.560 --> 34:10.560
Right.

34:10.560 --> 34:11.400
Right.

34:11.400 --> 34:12.240
Yeah.

34:12.240 --> 34:13.080
I appreciate it.

34:15.600 --> 34:16.800
That brings us to Article 19,

34:16.800 --> 34:18.720
Engineering and Environmental Standards.

34:20.120 --> 34:21.920
Oh, I covered that, that was with the.

34:21.920 --> 34:22.840
So we're good with that?

34:22.840 --> 34:23.680
Yeah, we.

34:23.680 --> 34:25.440
Then 20, Architectural Standards, General Standards.

34:25.440 --> 34:26.920
We covered that as well, just now.

34:26.920 --> 34:27.760
We're good to go.

34:29.280 --> 34:31.480
The only wondering, I do have Bob,

34:31.480 --> 34:34.120
as we close out this evening's meeting is,

34:34.120 --> 34:36.240
is there any architect,

34:36.240 --> 34:39.040
and when we're looking at coding,

34:39.040 --> 34:41.320
is there ever built into the code,

34:41.320 --> 34:43.720
review by school district for impact?

34:45.560 --> 34:46.840
Or is that an ordinance?

34:48.280 --> 34:50.440
So, poor question is unique because our superintendents,

34:50.440 --> 34:51.640
our school district's superintendents,

34:51.640 --> 34:54.200
it's on the planning commission for advisory purposes.

34:54.200 --> 34:56.840
But has there ever been, you know,

34:56.840 --> 34:59.360
like if someone wants to come and do a multi,

35:01.760 --> 35:05.080
complex apartment development,

35:05.080 --> 35:08.760
and say it brings 600 apartments to the city,

35:08.760 --> 35:11.840
is there ever a review by the school district

35:11.840 --> 35:13.840
to determine impact before approval?

35:14.800 --> 35:17.480
As part of either the code or ordinance?

35:17.480 --> 35:21.200
I haven't seen, I've never seen it in a zoning code.

35:21.200 --> 35:26.200
I do think that some like some reports or staff reports,

35:28.000 --> 35:31.800
they might mention the impact on the school district.

35:31.800 --> 35:34.880
And I don't know if it's just based on projected number

35:34.880 --> 35:38.160
of children or persons living here under the age of 18

35:38.160 --> 35:40.760
and how that applies to the headcount

35:40.760 --> 35:42.000
and the funding formula.

35:42.000 --> 35:43.160
Yeah.

35:43.160 --> 35:45.440
I just remember when the apartment complexes

35:45.440 --> 35:47.400
were built on the west side of town,

35:47.400 --> 35:49.760
just west of Culver's, south and west,

35:49.760 --> 35:54.120
or yeah, southwest of Culver's that,

35:54.120 --> 35:56.240
the way that that was originally designed and developed,

35:56.240 --> 35:58.200
it had a pretty significant impact on that,

35:58.200 --> 35:59.520
on Dunwoody and that area

35:59.520 --> 36:02.440
because of a kind of an explosion of growth of young kids.

36:02.440 --> 36:03.520
And I just think that that's important

36:03.520 --> 36:07.040
to make sure the school district is part of

36:07.040 --> 36:10.400
either the review process or the approval process.

36:10.400 --> 36:12.320
I mean, as long as, you know,

36:12.320 --> 36:13.720
Michael's here, we're in good shape.

36:13.720 --> 36:16.080
Yeah, I haven't seen it so much for multifamily.

36:16.080 --> 36:18.000
I've seen it for subdivisions, of course.

36:18.000 --> 36:19.160
Yeah.

36:19.160 --> 36:20.000
Okay.

36:20.000 --> 36:21.320
The superintendent in Cedarburg,

36:21.320 --> 36:24.720
they have like a chamber event every year in summer

36:24.720 --> 36:27.840
and he'll get up and he'll talk about like how many kids

36:27.840 --> 36:31.000
per home are generated by each new home

36:31.000 --> 36:33.400
versus each new apartment and they've got it down

36:33.400 --> 36:38.080
to like each new unit is 0.76 children and apartment.

36:38.080 --> 36:39.480
Well, there's a formula.

36:40.840 --> 36:41.680
Yeah.

36:41.680 --> 36:43.320
What happens to the rest of the kids?

36:44.840 --> 36:45.680
Okay.

36:45.680 --> 36:46.520
So with that, is there anyone willing

36:46.520 --> 36:47.960
to make a motion to adjourn?

36:49.400 --> 36:50.920
There's a motion to adjourn in a second.

36:50.920 --> 36:52.760
Any questions or concerns on the motion?

36:52.760 --> 36:53.600
Seeing none.

36:53.600 --> 36:55.440
All in favor signify by saying aye.

36:55.440 --> 36:56.280
Aye.

36:56.280 --> 36:57.120
Opposed?

36:57.120 --> 36:58.040
That motion carries.

36:58.040 --> 36:58.880
Good night, everybody.

36:58.880 --> 36:59.720
This meeting is adjourned.

36:59.720 --> 37:00.560
Go pirates.

37:03.400 --> 37:05.080
Thank you.
