02:20.040 --> 02:21.040 Thanks. 02:21.040 --> 02:24.040 I'll start it now like Greg Gels to talk. 02:24.040 --> 02:30.040 Greg worked for many more here tonight, but Chris has always been a, in my opinion, a great 02:31.040 --> 02:33.040 team and we'll, we'll miss him being around. 02:33.040 --> 02:38.040 He's always a, a jovial person, brought a lot of laughter and humor to it and, uh, was 02:38.040 --> 02:41.040 just had a candy attitude in my opinion when I watched him do his work. 02:41.040 --> 02:45.040 So, um, I really appreciate all he did for our community. 02:45.040 --> 02:48.040 You and wiped out my mailbox one year. 02:48.040 --> 02:49.040 So, um, I didn't. 02:49.040 --> 02:51.040 Wiped it down or wiped it out. 02:51.040 --> 02:53.040 Wiped it down or wiped it out. 02:53.040 --> 02:54.040 Wiped it out. 02:54.040 --> 02:55.040 Knocked it right off. 02:55.040 --> 02:59.040 So, um, and I thought that was a perk of being a village president at the time, but 02:59.040 --> 03:00.040 it wasn't. 03:00.040 --> 03:03.040 Um, so, uh, but no, he's, he's a great guy. 03:03.040 --> 03:07.040 And, uh, like I say, we're sure going to miss him, but it's a well deserved after 26 years 03:07.040 --> 03:11.040 of hard labor for our community and he's born here or left here. 03:11.040 --> 03:12.040 Most of you went to school here. 03:12.040 --> 03:19.040 Um, he's the epitome to me of our guys and the pride they take and what they do for 03:19.040 --> 03:20.040 this community. 03:20.040 --> 03:21.040 So. 03:21.040 --> 03:22.040 Thank you, John. 03:22.040

03:33.040 --> 03:38.040 Um, I mean, Coop, Coop was always the, the guy we looked up to. 03:38.040 --> 03:40.040 He was always had a positive attitude. 03:40.040 --> 03:42.040 Always had a smile on his face. 03:42.040 --> 03:45.040 Um, and made everybody want to come to work, right? 03:45.040 --> 03:48.040 Because we had such a great person working with us. 03:48.040 --> 03:50.040 He knew he had his car back. 03:50.040 --> 03:52.040 Um, he is a hard worker. 03:52.040 --> 03:59.040 Um, still is, obviously, but, uh, we're going to miss, uh, Chris a lot. 03:59.040 --> 04:07.040 Um, and we hope, uh,

hard to really quantify 26 years. 04:55.040 --> 04:57.040 I mean, I've seen, I've seen a lot of growth. 04:57.040 --> 05:02.040 Um, and I was just so happy to be, you know, to be part of a wonderful

3D printing something 3 feet to my left. 12:08.040 --> 12:10.040 And it's not quiet. 12:10.040 --> 12:12.040 Good evening. 12:12.040 --> 12:15.040 I'm here to present briefly. 12:15.040 --> 12:20.040 Our annual performance evaluation against the comprehensive plan initiatives and goals. 12:20.040 --> 12:23.040 And your packet information to support this. 12:23.040 --> 12:28.040 As you know, no doubt, no, the comprehensive plan is the villages long range. 12:28.040 --> 12:31.040 Guide for growth development and preservation. 12:31.040 --> 12:35.040 It was last fully updated about 3 years ago. 12:35.040 --> 12:46.040 The plan includes 27 priority initiatives spanning the gamut from land use to economic development and natural area preservation and more. 12:47.040 --> 12:59.040 The plan also has a tool by which we are to annually evaluate it to help gauge whether we're doing a good job and achieving those initiatives and reaching those goals. 12:59.040 --> 13:03.040 And this is the, I think the third time we've done this now. 13:04.040 --> 13:07.040 Early in the summer, we visited with P and Z and shared a similar. 13:07.040 --> 13:08.040 To it. 13:08.040 --> 13:12.040 But recently, and all the information in here is. 13:12.040 --> 13:18.040 Based on the handy work of several people, including some in front of you here tonight. 13:18.040 --> 13:25.040 The first of going through this effort is to again, gauge performance, but also to. 13:26.040 --> 13:31.040 Identify potential amendments recalibrations to the plan as necessary. 13:31.040 --> 13:35.040 And priorities as the board thinks about the. 13:35.040 --> 13:38.040 2027 budget and other things moving forward. 13:38.040 --> 13:44.040 We've got a couple of rules to share with you. 13:45.040 --> 13:56.040 And if I plan initiative achievement, one of which we've summarized on the next page, because we frankly have done too many things over the last year. 13:56.040 --> 14:01.040 And our format doesn't work great for presenting the information, but the summary. 14:01.040 --> 14:08.040 Broadly speaking, I'll talk about the achievements here and will be available to answer questions tonight. 14:08.040 --> 14:13.040 In economic development, an initiative was to. 14:13.040 --> 14:18.040 Grow different aspects of the, of the villages base. 14:18.040 --> 14:26.040 Just highlighting that we have two new hotels under construction one, I think is very close to opening. 14:26.040 --> 14:29.040 Contributing property tax and room tax tax to the community. 14:29.040 --> 14:34.040 In the area of natural and cultural resources, several initiatives. 14:34.040 --> 14:40.040 Aimed to continue to improve the water quality. I think many of you know that it. 14:40.040 --> 14:44.040 The water is clearly improving. The DNR has recognized that. 14:44.040 --> 14:49.040 And you see several ideas and initiatives that the village has undertaken and partnered with. 14:49.040 --> 14:56.040 Private entities like your hardware or headwaters and trot unlimited to advance and improve. 14:56.040 --> 15:00.040 A significant natural resource. 15:00.040 --> 15:06.040 In the housing and neighborhoods front, you'll see, and I think you have more on your agenda tonight. 15:06.040 --> 15:14.040 The CDA, which was put together not in two dissimilar time frame as the comprehensive plan was updated. 15:14.040 --> 15:21.040 Is really moving forward and making change happen through projects and initiative like home reach to forest. 15:21.040 --> 15:27.040 And the affordable workforce and senior housing project at north and main. 15:28.040 --> 15:39.040 Charging forward in the area of land use past years have been a big year for industrial building development in particular. 15:39.040 --> 15:47.040 We've had a number of different folks who build leaseable space and their own space. 15:47.040 --> 15:52.040 Construct new buildings in different parts of the village, including quick trip. 15:53.040 --> 15:59.040 And the dickman's in particular building a larger least industrial buildings and not to forget. 15:59.040 --> 16:06.040 Orest yards continues as continue to open in phases and will need to do so over the next several years. 16:06.040 --> 16:13.040 In the area transportation, I think kind of an unsung hero is how well the village takes care of the roads it has. 16:13.040 --> 16:21.040 It's not consistently knocked out road improvement and rehabilitation projects in its tenure capital improvement program. 16:22.040 --> 16:32.040 And sought grants and partnerships to do projects like the new signals down into the forest south area on either end of Williamsburg way. 16:32.040 --> 16:40.040 And upcoming next year to reconstruct roads like been burned on hickory lane and with stolen street coming. 16:41.040 --> 16:53.040 After that, the area of community facilities and utilities plans being designed to improve and renovate nine parks in the system. 16:53.040 --> 16:57.040 And three of those are being carried out here in 2026. 16:57.040 --> 17:04.040 You see the other ideas that I know the board's been very aware of in the areas of park and other community facilities. 17:05.040 --> 17:12.040 And one of them ties directly to their government to cooperation the construction of fire station number two that's now underway. 17:12.040 --> 17:18.040 Near the south end of the community and a new boundary agreement with Westport. 17:18.040 --> 17:23.040 The first of its kind between the forest and Westport, which will eventually lead to. 17:23.040 --> 17:31.040 Incorporation of Westport as a village and some promising outreach with Vienna towards a new boundary agreement. 17:31.040 --> 17:38.040 A lot of good stuff to happen to achieve some priority initiatives within the comprehensive plan. 17:38.040 --> 17:44.040 The next page, I'm going to ask Alex or whoever is controlling to zoom through fairly quickly. 17:44.040 --> 17:53.040 You need a magnifying glass or extremely sharp eyes to read all this, but this is the detail behind those pages that you saw. 17:54.040 --> 18:03.040 And I just worked through. And next year, I think we'll work hard to come up with a better way to present this because this is a little bit challenging to work through it. 18:03.040 --> 18:09.040 The final thing I'll present and then be available for questions is above a benchmarks evaluation. 18:10.040 --> 18:14.040 This has less to do with this stuff that keeps. 18:14.040 --> 18:24.040 Village staff, and you and consultants busy more about what types of positive change are actually happening within the community. 18:24.040 --> 18:28.040 The 23 come plan, we identified some. 18:29.040 --> 18:32.040 Turnable measures and I'll talk about a few of them. 18:32.040 --> 18:36.040 One of them is in that first economic development cell. 18:36.040 --> 18:43.040 A goal or a benchmark of increasing non residential property value at least 5% each year. 18:43.040 --> 18:46.040 You know, frankly that which is. 18:47.040 --> 18:51.040 That may need to go all the percentage increases get harder over time. 18:51.040 --> 18:58.040 But the last measurable year was an increase of nearly 19% in non residential property. 18:58.040 --> 19:01.040 The value increase, right. 19:01.040 --> 19:05.040 The other thing that's going on in the community, 19:05.040 --> 19:08.040 tracking down to land use is. 19:09.040 --> 19:16.040 There's a goal or a priority of permitting at least 100 new housing units per year. 19:16.040 --> 19:22.040 The village of the forest last year, but you know, Brandi's reported this and others has had permitted more. 19:22.040 --> 19:25.040 New housing units than it ever had in its history. 19:25.040 --> 19:29.040 Over 700 new housing units. 19:29.040 --> 19:33.040 One of those one of the priorities that relates that you can see. 19:34.040 --> 19:39.040 Right below it, no significant change in single family housing as a percentage of total housing units. 19:39.040 --> 19:44.040 And we can report with all the multifamily permitting that happened last year. 19:44.040 --> 19:48.040 The percentage did drop and we have the stats. 19:48.040 --> 19:51.040 To the. 19:51.040 --> 19:56.040 In the document, I should say that shows, you know, what happened. 19:57.040 --> 20:04.040 Whether making a value judgment or not, we have a couple of new projects in the pipeline. 20:04.040 --> 20:10.040 You heard a little bit about Lanar's efforts to jumpstart heritage gardens. 20:10.040 --> 20:16.040 We expect up to 147 new homes within the next few years. 20:16.040 --> 20:18.040 Single family homes in that development. 20:19.040 --> 20:23.040 And the NOLs, the northern and last neighborhood in conservancy place. 20:23.040 --> 20:31.040 We'll see in concept at the next P and Z meeting with a single similar number of single family homes over a period of years in that development. 20:31.040 --> 20:33.040 So we anticipate that. 20:33.040 --> 20:41.040 Sort of flipping a little bit over the next several years with more single family housing development occurring. 20:42.040 --> 20:48.040 At this point, I think I'll, I'll pause be available for questions, comments, reactions. 20:48.040 --> 20:56.040 And I know other people in the room are also available, especially if it gets a little too detailed on a particular subject for me. 20:56.040 --> 20:59.040 Thank you very much. 20:59.040 --> 21:01.040 Thank you, Mark. 21:01.040 --> 21:04.040 I had a couple of questions. The first one we talked about. 21:04.040 --> 21:08.040 I saw the non residential property value increase. 21:09.040 --> 21:17.040 I would assume that if that was going up 5% each year that residential property would also increase just by the nature of it would not. 21:21.040 --> 21:27.040 Not necessarily. It's related to new construction in a non residential. 21:27.040 --> 21:31.040 Building commercial industrial development. 21:32.040 --> 21:46.040 I don't have the particular numbers on residential, but if we certainly think about the multiple family developments, the townhouses that have been occurring there has absolutely also been a residential increase. 21:46.040 --> 21:55.040 Hey, Mark, this is bill. Just a quick clarification here. Is this a new construction or is this a property value overall? 21:55.040 --> 21:58.040 Overall property value. So it factors in. 21:59.040 --> 22:04.040 New construction and I'm already on the ground in property value increases, I believe. 22:04.040 --> 22:05.040 Okay. 22:05.040 --> 22:13.040 So it's a brand to clarify your question. I mean, if you remember, we went from assessments every year to now doing it every other year. 22:13.040 --> 22:18.040 I can say that on average, the assessment this year. 22:19.040 --> 22:32.040 16% I think increased and that's that's all the markets. So we are generally seeing property value increases on both commercial and residential sides. 22:32.040 --> 22:35.040 The last couple of years. 22:38.040 --> 22:46.040 Okay, I would just question for myself whether or not I would want that as a goal, but I understand growth being part of this. 22:47.040 --> 22:54.040 And then the industrial rooftop solar initiative. I don't know about that. And I'm wondering if somebody could just briefly explain. 22:54.040 --> 23:02.040 I can do I can do that. So within the 2023 comprehensive plan, we. 23:02.040 --> 23:08.040 And effort, we have a variety of initiatives public and private to promote. 23:08.040 --> 23:12.040 Energy efficiency and alternative energy generation. 23:12.040 --> 23:17.040 And one of the ideas that came out of that planning process. 23:17.040 --> 23:23.040 Was we've got a lot of industrial buildings, you know, with a lot of rooftop area, you know, a couple, 23:23.040 --> 23:26.040 couple three hundred thousand square feet. 23:26.040 --> 23:32.040 In many cases, wouldn't that be a great place to have solar panels to help. 23:32.040 --> 23:35.040 Support the energy needs of that. 23:35.040 --> 23:37.040 That business. 23:38.040 --> 23:44.040 We bring it up Alex, Alex and brandy know this every every time I meet with one of those folks I bring it up. 23:44.040 --> 23:52.040 There's always a reason and I, you know, I think they're often good reasons why they're not being installed. 23:52.040 --> 23:56.040 Sometimes it's conflicts with other things that are going up on the roof. 23:56.040 --> 23:59.040 Sometimes it's the fact that they're. 24:00.040 --> 24:06.040 Tenants pay for energy costs and so there's no real incentive for the owner of the building to install panels. 24:06.040 --> 24:10.040 If they're not paying the energy costs within the building. 24:10.040 --> 24:14.040 So that's been one area. It's been a learning experience for us. 24:14.040 --> 24:18.040 And, you know, in some cases, a frustrating one to not get any results. 24:19.040 --> 24:24.040 Well, you show you the quick you want to talk. 24:24.040 --> 24:29.040 Yeah, so the report talked about economic development progress. 24:29.040 --> 24:36.040 Also kind of why noting that an amendment had failed for zero lot line and mixed use house amendments. 24:36.040 --> 24:45.040 I was wondering if you could talk a little bit more or what our strategy would be for missing middle and attainable home ownership. 24:46.040 --> 24:51.040 Alex, would you like to tackle that one or you want me to start? 24:51.040 --> 25:01.040 Sure. So maybe two years ago, we had brought forth a series of zoning code amendments related to housing that addressed a number of things. 25:01.040 --> 25:05.040 Part of that was sort of the missing middle and. 25:05.040 --> 25:10.040 Sort of that in between allowing for additional density and residential neighborhoods. 25:11.040 --> 25:18.040 I know we had some conversation about traditional neighborhood development and getting an ordinance in place with that. 25:18.040 --> 25:25.040 That I don't know if it were was referenced in this document, but that amendment did fail on a tide boat at the time. 25:25.040 --> 25:34.040 And I know at staff, we've been having conversations about revisiting ordinance amendments in general and doing it in a more comprehensive way that gets. 25:35.040 --> 25:39.040 I guess more input from trustees and our plan commission members in the general public. 25:39.040 --> 25:47.040 In advance of sort of putting together a package to you all. So it's something that still I will say is on our radar from housing perspective. 25:47.040 --> 25:52.040 If you look back and I can share this report out. We did a 2024. 25:52.040 --> 25:57.040 Like localized to forest housing strategies report to add some of those in there. 25:57.040 --> 26:01.040 And you know, it certainly is on our radar to, to still make some movement on. 26:02.040 --> 26:06.040 Jim. 26:06.040 --> 26:16.040 Yes, I wanted to elaborate that because I know that traditional zoning has been something I've been bringing up for probably at least five years. 26:16.040 --> 26:20.040 But there's a trigger. I think it's a 12,000 and. 26:20.040 --> 26:24.040 That doesn't really happen until the next census. 26:24.040 --> 26:29.040 But we will be over that and we'll be forced into doing that. So. 26:30.040 --> 26:44.040 I personally think that should be something we prioritize and maybe we do have a workshop to bring those two committees or boards together to see if we can come up with a solution. 26:44.040 --> 26:58.040 Yeah, that's helpful to hear feedback. And I think we'll probably at a staff level and with Mark as well, try to bring something that approaches this in an intentional way to get additional feedback from the full group on some of these strategies to. 26:59.040 --> 27:00.040 I don't know, Mark. 27:00.040 --> 27:01.040 Yeah, I think that. 27:01.040 --> 27:05.040 I don't. I think you said it very well. 27:05.040 --> 27:12.040 Everybody else said anything. 27:12.040 --> 27:15.040 Okay, I guess not. Thank you, Mark. 27:15.040 --> 27:20.040 Oh, thank you very much. And one more thing. I mean, if I heard a comment, you know, it. 27:21.040 --> 27:30.040 Does the plan reflect the policies of the current board? You know, again, this was a plan adopted by the village board three years ago. 27:30.040 --> 27:35.040 It can be revisited and amended at any time. So. 27:35.040 --> 27:42.040 You know, but it is until it until it is amended. It is our sort of a marching orders as staff and consultants to move forward. 27:42.040 --> 27:46.040 So thank you for your time this evening. Appreciate it. 27:46.040 --> 27:49.040 Thank you. 27:50.040 --> 27:51.040 Again. 27:53.040 --> 28:05.040 Mark started and let you go quick enough, but I wanted to bring up what's to me brought up often about like a 60 or 70% mix a single family. 28:05.040 --> 28:09.040 I think that's actually not necessarily in the comprehensive plan. 28:09.040 --> 28:15.040 But I wonder your, your take on that. And I specifically want to bring up, like, say that. 28:15.040 --> 28:25.040 I don't know if you want to call them townhouses or the duplexes, which to me is more or less a single family, even though it's a duplex and all that gets counted. 28:25.040 --> 28:27.040 Do you know what I'm getting at? 28:27.040 --> 28:28.040 Sure. 28:28.040 --> 28:36.040 The villages comprehensive plan over the years has had different policies and percentages. 28:37.040 --> 28:48.040 Of my guess goals for keeping the number of single family homes or own occupied homes at a certain level with threshold. 28:48.040 --> 29:00.040 At present, the plan has an aspirational goal of 60% of all units in the village as single family detached homes. 29:01.040 --> 29:06.040 It's not a law. It's not a mandate. 29:06.040 --> 29:29.040 The plan does say if that number drops substantially below 60% single family detached as a percentage of total units that the, the village will take a beat and determine whether, you know, some, there's something amiss with the policies and programs to try to achieve the goal. 29:29.040 --> 29:44.040 As I mentioned earlier, we're working hard and there's others working hard to get single family homes on the market. That's been a big part of the issue is that we just don't have enough lots for people to build single family homes right now. 29:44.040 --> 30:02.040 But it is, it is currently tied to your comment, Jim. It is currently tied to single family detached units. And so I do plex condo that, you know, that would be owner occupied is on the 40% side and not the 60% side as it's currently written. 30:02.040 --> 30:10.040 Thank you, Mark. And I, I do agree. It's been a challenge that could say single family lots established. 30:10.040 --> 30:25.040 But I, I wonder if it is some point, I guess I'm looking at the board more than anybody is like, is it a single family home or are we worried more about homeownership? I think we decided that in the past, that was hard to define. 30:26.040 --> 30:43.040 But again, I feel like a zero lot line or a condiment in my eyes do plex. I personally feel is a pretty much a single family home and I'm wondering opinions if that's something we want to look into. 30:43.040 --> 30:57.040 Bill, if that's a policy that the board was just to look into a couple of things to keep in mind. 30:57.040 --> 31:10.040 In regards to the percentages, I think time frame matters. You know, there's a 60 to 40 all the time, which would be more restrictive. 31:10.040 --> 31:23.040 I think in regards to how the market moves as far as on a development side in what we do for recruitment and setting up development for future years. 31:23.040 --> 31:36.040 If it's defined as then say a comprehensive life term 10 years and making sure that you keep within those percentages, I think that provides a little bit more flexibility for us to move to the market. 31:36.040 --> 31:50.040 And as we know in the scene, the past couple of years with interest rates increasing, the challenge was bringing single family homes to market where there was more opportunities for multifamily. 31:50.040 --> 31:59.040 Again, we're seeing that kind of live here, whereas we aren't seen as much multifamily proposals. 31:59.040 --> 32:08.040 And then we have previous, and we've seen that single family come back so think about that. And then how do we define that. 32:08.040 --> 32:15.040 Want to touch a bit on on our occupied versus renting. 32:15.040 --> 32:20.040 You know, that is hard to get a handle on. 32:20.040 --> 32:29.040 Because people have different life situations that may come with homeownership. 32:29.040 --> 32:38.040 And so the only real way to kind of address that is having some kind of registration process. 32:38.040 --> 32:47.040 And I don't know if we want to go there. So those are things contemplate as we look at, you know, how much do we want to regulate. 32:47.040 --> 32:56.040 And control versus being flexible to move to the market. 32:56.040 --> 33:01.040 There was a 6% decrease over the last year for single family. 33:01.040 --> 33:12.040 Do we have estimates of what will be at the end of this year with all the approved projects is it going to continue to go down or do we think we're going to get closer to 50%. 33:13.040 --> 33:20.040 The last we checked we didn't we didn't have a lot of single family or multiple family permits in 2026. 33:20.040 --> 33:27.040 So I would be surprised if it changed appreciably at the end of this year. 33:27.040 --> 33:33.040 I would just to pick you back up with some of Bill's comments, considering those types of policy changes. 33:33.040 --> 33:39.040 However, that looks just understanding the I guess the rationale or the impact that we're trying to regulate against too. 33:39.040 --> 33:50.040 And whether that's if it's a if it's a regulatory policy in place because we're trying to mitigate against impact from a certain kind of development on provision of public services, 33:51.040 --> 34:11.040 or what that just what the basis of that is to like why rather than arbitrary percentage one way or the other, the rationale behind that approach to because I'd be curious to understand that. 34:11.040 --> 34:22.040 I just like to add on marks comprehensive plan initiatives talks about transportation a lot with residential growth single family homes. 34:22.040 --> 34:30.040 We're talking about lots of new roads, correct, and keeping up with our older roads. 34:30.040 --> 34:36.040 We're trying to go for a pays rating of four, a lot of our roads right now. 34:36.040 --> 34:41.040 There's a majority of them that are skirting that four or five rating. 34:41.040 --> 34:54.040 So moving forward, we just got to remember when we're budgeting and approving budgets for future years is to keep roads and the plans to resurface. 34:54.040 --> 35:02.040 Otherwise, we're going to get way behind on our roads research scene projects. 35:02.040 --> 35:12.040 So just kind of incorporating all the things togethers transportation and it's a big portion of this too. 35:12.040 --> 35:14.040 Okay. 35:14.040 --> 35:19.040 Good point. 35:19.040 --> 35:22.040 Is that it for this topic? 35:22.040 --> 35:25.040 Okay, Mark, you're released. 35:25.040 --> 35:27.040 Thank you. Good night. 35:27.040 --> 35:35.040 Next up, a resolution establishing fees for building permits and inspections in the village of the forest. 35:35.040 --> 35:40.040 Alex, and Brandi, that presentation. 35:40.040 --> 35:51.040 This is an update. I believe we came to the board earlier this year with a initial update on the fees. So most of the significant changes here as you can see in the memo. 35:52.040 --> 35:56.040 Adjustments to account for the zoning review component. 35:56.040 --> 36:01.040 So Brandi, when we get building permit come in, she'll do a zoning review, regardless. 36:01.040 --> 36:09.040 Well, mostly regardless of the kind of development it is, but specifically between commercial or residential. So we had to account for that. 36:09.040 --> 36:19.040 We also miscalculated the way that the trade inspections, the fees were allocated for residential development. Those are actually on a per square foot formula. 36:19.040 --> 36:27.040 So we made that modification, our, our fire inspection services. So GEC, they had initially set forth fees for doing fire. 36:27.040 --> 36:30.040 Inspection for various projects. We do that in house. 36:30.040 --> 36:37.040 We, but the district does that in house. So we took those fees out because they charge separately. 36:37.040 --> 36:46.040 And then some additional changes to align with the contract and then some items that we missed specifically electrical inspections for above ground pools. 36:46.040 --> 36:52.040 And then a couple other permitting items there. So you can see chicken coop patio and pergola. 36:52.040 --> 36:57.040 Smaller changes, I would say, but happy to answer any questions. 36:57.040 --> 37:04.040 Questions anyone. 37:04.040 --> 37:08.040 Yeah. 37:08.040 --> 37:20.040 I don't think I necessarily saw, but then there used to be like a minimum, minimum cap. I want to say, if you stayed under a thousand, that you didn't have to do some things or just sort of gone. 37:20.040 --> 37:22.040 Well, maximum. 37:22.040 --> 37:31.040 Yeah, there in some instances, there were maxes and then the contract with GEC essentially removed those maxes. There still are minimum fees for most of these. 37:32.040 --> 37:42.040 I meant like, writing windows doors that are under 1500 don't require permit. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. 37:45.040 --> 37:47.040 I had a question. 37:47.040 --> 37:55.040 Under the single family homes and the duplexes, it shows a construction fee per square foot. 37:55.040 --> 38:00.040 Why doesn't it show that under multifamily and the commercial industrial. 38:01.040 --> 38:06.040 It should, if you scroll down at the 11 cents. 38:06.040 --> 38:09.040 The way it was worded, it was kind of confusing to me. 38:09.040 --> 38:19.040 Yeah. And I think that's why we're kind of correcting some of this is because we were a little confused. So 20 cents a square foot. You can see it under new construction and additional inspections. 38:19.040 --> 38:23.040 Okay. And then they create their square foot charges there. 38:23.040 --> 38:27.040 Okay. Thank you. 38:27.040 --> 38:29.040 Anyone else? 38:30.040 --> 38:34.040 Any public appearances? I'm not going to assume no. 38:34.040 --> 38:35.040 No. 38:35.040 --> 38:41.040 All right. I would entertain a motion for resolution 2026 dash. 38:41.040 --> 38:43.040 102. 38:43.040 --> 38:46.040 Anyone like to make a motion to approve that? 38:46.040 --> 38:49.040 Make a motion to approve a resolution. 38:49.040 --> 38:52.040 Motion by Jim is there a second. 38:52.040 --> 38:54.040 Second. 38:54.040 --> 38:56.040 Second by Brad. 38:57.040 --> 38:59.040 All those in favor indicate by saying aye. 38:59.040 --> 39:00.040 Aye. 39:00.040 --> 39:02.040 All those opposed? No. 39:02.040 --> 39:04.040 Motion carries unanimously. 39:04.040 --> 39:07.040 Thank you, Alex. 39:07.040 --> 39:15.040 Resolution 2026 dash 103 resolution granting a waiver of park impact fee requirements. 39:15.040 --> 39:20.040 But the deforest CDA gave air crossing low income housing development. 39:20.040 --> 39:23.040 Alex and Bill. 39:24.040 --> 39:29.040 So I can kick us off here. So we've received from the. 39:29.040 --> 39:34.040 Community development authority a request to waive park land. 39:34.040 --> 39:38.040 Dedication fees and new and park improvement. 39:38.040 --> 39:42.040 He's in new for the development of your heart crossing. 39:42.040 --> 39:46.040 This is the building proposed as a. 39:46.040 --> 39:51.040 Mixed income low income and mixed use. 39:51.040 --> 39:55.040 So the consisting of approximately 62. 39:55.040 --> 40:02.040 Units and commercial space on the first floor on Main Street and North Street. 40:02.040 --> 40:05.040 CDA as you know. 40:05.040 --> 40:11.040 Is pretty much the redevelopment arm for the village. 40:11.040 --> 40:17.040 And has been tasked with redevelopment in the villages downtown area. 40:18.040 --> 40:22.040 This project encompasses we did not only redevelopment and in a blighted area, 40:22.040 --> 40:25.040 but also addresses workforce housing. 40:25.040 --> 40:27.040 And senior housing. 40:27.040 --> 40:31.040 And as you can see in the proposal, a reservation for veterans. 40:31.040 --> 40:35.040 We do have a current funding agreement with the CDA. 40:35.040 --> 40:40.040 Thus far we've invested approximately 1.8 million. 40:41.040 --> 40:44.040 From tax increment district number 6. 40:44.040 --> 40:49.040 To the CDA for acquisition of property in that location. 40:49.040 --> 40:52.040 And we remain committed. 40:52.040 --> 40:55.040 For a portion of. 40:55.040 --> 40:59.040 For a construction loan for a portion of the construction cost. 40:59.040 --> 41:02.040 Moving into next year. 41:02.040 --> 41:08.040 CDA has reported that as they work through 90% plans and design. 41:09.040 --> 41:16.040 They're coming up across costs inflation due to market impacts. 41:16.040 --> 41:21.040 And have worked to reduce that cost as best they can. 41:21.040 --> 41:25.040 But holding to the idea that this is a. 41:25.040 --> 41:31.040 Cornerstone for the village and that there needs to be some standard here. 41:32.040 --> 41:36.040 With that being said, the amount of. 41:36.040 --> 41:41.040 Cost of impact from the parking pet fees was estimated. 41:41.040 --> 41:46.040 At the units with the 62 units at approximately $230,000. 41:46.040 --> 41:52.040 And the villages code allows for the village board to waive that fee for. 41:52.040 --> 41:55.040 Affordable housing projects. 41:56.040 --> 42:00.040 All pause there and I'll let Alex explain kind of the steps that. 42:00.040 --> 42:04.040 They've taken to help reduce costs. 42:04.040 --> 42:09.040 And then I know that Alicia has the chair of the CDA may have something to say to. 42:09.040 --> 42:12.040 In regards to the project. 42:12.040 --> 42:22.040 I guess the only things that I'll add is so we did have this authorization to submit this request to the board at our CDA meeting last Thursday. 42:22.040 --> 42:25.040 That was unanimously approved. 42:25.040 --> 42:30.040 We so we had this in projects initially priced out in May of 2025. 42:30.040 --> 42:34.040 We've been working at this for a couple of years now, at least. 42:34.040 --> 42:39.040 I see it used me August the 2025 reprised in May of 2026. 42:39.040 --> 42:43.040 With call it like 60 to 70% plans. 42:43.040 --> 42:46.040 At that point, we were pushed to about $2 million over the initial budget. 42:46.040 --> 42:50.040 Part of that was this bill has indicated some increasing cost. 42:51.040 --> 42:57.040 And then as we just have progressed into more detailed plans, which sort of reworked some of the pricing and scene where that comes in. 42:57.040 --> 43:00.040 We're now at 90% plans and we're going through. 43:00.040 --> 43:04.040 Excuse me, another reprising exercise right now to get. 43:04.040 --> 43:08.040 What will probably be a pretty detailed set of costs. 43:08.040 --> 43:13.040 We are currently also working through some value engineering items right now. 43:13.040 --> 43:18.040 Going through changes to the windows switching from fiberglass windows to vinyl windows. 43:19.040 --> 43:26.040 Considering removing the solar on the project, although I will say at the same time as we're trying to cut costs. 43:26.040 --> 43:29.040 I'm also trying to bring additional funds into the project. 43:29.040 --> 43:35.040 We just approved submitting a grant to WC for $250,000, which talking to the state. 43:35.040 --> 43:37.040 They really liked the fact that solar is in there. 43:37.040 --> 43:40.040 So there's some trade offs being made there. 43:40.040 --> 43:47.040 I guess my point is with some of the value engineering that we're doing, we're trying to maintain the quality of building at a very prominent corner that the village wants. 43:47.040 --> 43:52.040 And then not taking this request to you all lightly in that. 43:52.040 --> 43:58.040 We're trying to find other mechanisms to reduce this cost first before impacting our park. 43:58.040 --> 44:02.040 So happy to answer any questions about the project itself. 44:02.040 --> 44:07.040 I will say this is potentially a significant tax based generator for the village. 44:07.040 --> 44:15.040 2025 property taxes on the three parcels that were there previously, which you put at the liquor store, the duplexes. 44:16.040 --> 44:21.040 Six unit that was there and then the vacant car wash, I think was totaling roughly 25,000. 44:21.040 --> 44:27.040 We're anticipating that this would generate $110,000 on top of that in property tax base. 44:27.040 --> 44:30.040 So it is a positive increase from that perspective, too. 44:30.040 --> 44:33.040 But Alicia, I don't know if there's anything you want to add. 44:33.040 --> 44:39.040 Yeah, I mean, I think I just said currently we're in a housing crisis. 44:39.040 --> 44:45.040 Just for definition is a dangerous, difficult or unstable time that needs quick action. 44:45.040 --> 44:50.040 So I think tonight it's not about just simply like reducing the fee. 44:50.040 --> 44:56.040 It's more about again, Alex just talked about all the ways we're trying to close that gap, 44:56.040 --> 45:00.040 but this would help make this development possible. 45:00.040 --> 45:06.040 This would be for 62 affordable homes and there would be commercial space. 45:07.040 --> 45:12.040 Really, we just got done talking about the downtown, but at the heart of our community. 45:12.040 --> 45:20.040 And really, I think this is for the most vulnerable in our community, our seniors and veterans. 45:20.040 --> 45:27.040 As someone who's worked in community health and knows the struggle that it is to find affordable housing. 45:28.040 --> 45:31.040 I think this board has the. 45:31.040 --> 45:36.040 Has the opportunity tonight to make a meaningful local change. 45:36.040 --> 45:44.040 Take local action by waving these fees and help helping us close that gap to make this development possible. 45:44.040 --> 45:49.040 I think thank you, Alicia. That was great. 45:49.040 --> 45:53.040 One additional piece. If you've got the, if you can pull up the site plan, 45:53.040 --> 45:58.040 that I do just want to highlight as it relates to the provision of park space and outdoor space. 45:58.040 --> 46:04.040 So this building is going to be a restricted 55 and up. 46:04.040 --> 46:16.040 Obviously, it's adjacent to our across from the senior center community center, which has its own is planning to include some outdoor activity space as well with veterans part and Western green. 46:16.040 --> 46:23.040 Just to the south, but if you can scroll to page 10 of the PDF, I think is our landscape plan. 46:23.040 --> 46:27.040 We are planning to incorporate significant. 46:27.040 --> 46:39.040 Both outdoor amenities and then indoor amenities to for residents as well. So there is a fitness area interior to the building with women as well as some class spaces. 46:39.040 --> 46:43.040 One more page or a couple more pages. One more. There you go. 46:43.040 --> 46:48.040 In the northeast corner of the property is a public plaza. 46:48.040 --> 46:54.040 So while that won't be dedicated, that's obviously privately maintained that's open to the general public. 46:54.040 --> 47:00.040 The thought is that that would serve most of the commercial space there. So we are including that space publicly available. 47:00.040 --> 47:12.040 And then the residents in the southwest corner have an outdoor space, which is, I would say, probably a little over a tenth of an acre with some grilling stations picnic areas, a dog. 47:13.040 --> 47:24.040 Waste area and then some community space in general, too. So we are trying to on a very, very tight one and a half acre space to accommodate outdoor and indoor activities as well. 47:33.040 --> 47:34.040 Jan, go ahead. 47:35.040 --> 47:41.040 I think that you make a fair argument or the waiver of the park fees. 47:41.040 --> 47:52.040 My only question is with your comments that you just made, are we doing this prematurely? Because you said you're trying to reduce costs. So should we be voting on this tonight? 47:52.040 --> 47:56.040 It would definitely help. 47:56.040 --> 48:05.040 Because we are still fairly far over and trying to bring in additional funding sources. I think I included in the memo the status of our funding sources. 48:05.040 --> 48:17.040 So in addition to the CDI grant that we're applying for, which is $250,000, there's also just under $500,000 loan through Madison Development Corporation that we'll be seeking as well. 48:18.040 --> 48:30.040 So when we go into a project like this, both WHEDA, from a tax credit perspective, they have underwriting criteria where we have to meet certain debt coverage thresholds. 48:30.040 --> 48:37.040 And then our lenders, obviously, on the construction loan and Madison Development Corporation will also need us to hit those. 48:37.040 --> 48:44.040 And so they're looking for those numbers as we're going through their underwriting process, which is essentially now. 48:44.040 --> 48:50.040 So the more that I can take costs out of the project now, the better. 48:50.040 --> 49:07.040 So I understand what you're saying and perhaps, and I think I even mentioned this off-handedly to Bill, you know, if there's an avenue for contingency funds to be used in the future, I obviously don't want to make that promise because I don't know that we're going to have contingency funds. 49:08.040 --> 49:12.040 I haven't been a part of a project where costs somehow go lower than anticipated. 49:12.040 --> 49:17.040 But, you know, certainly there could be an avenue for us to make a payment out of contingency funds. 49:17.040 --> 49:24.040 One of the requirements of a tax credit project is we have to hold 5% contingency, and that's what they base the award on. 49:24.040 --> 49:27.040 And we have to use all of that contingency. 49:27.040 --> 49:31.040 So if that's still there, we have to allocate that cost somewhere. 49:31.040 --> 49:32.040 Is that kind of? 49:32.040 --> 49:33.040 Yep. 49:33.040 --> 49:34.040 Thank you. 49:35.040 --> 49:37.040 Jim. 49:37.040 --> 49:42.040 I guess who's ever controlling. Can you go back to the site plan? 49:42.040 --> 49:49.040 And I guess I just want to be upfront is I personally do feel like. 49:49.040 --> 49:55.040 That they're getting rid of those and say 230,000 for park improvement fees is. 49:55.040 --> 50:00.040 A commendable thing to do, especially with the population there. 50:01.040 --> 50:08.040 I do like that you've got sort of a prominent corner and I think that is more or less a park feature in itself. 50:08.040 --> 50:11.040 So that's some given a take there. 50:11.040 --> 50:16.040 This is the first time I've seen it in six months or a year. 50:16.040 --> 50:18.040 So I would say that I'm. 50:18.040 --> 50:20.040 I do like this. 50:20.040 --> 50:22.040 I think there's a sidewalk along. 50:22.040 --> 50:27.040 Say the what is that the east side, but not necessarily the north side. 50:28.040 --> 50:33.040 And I'll just mention that I'm a bit disappointed with that because I can tell you. 50:33.040 --> 50:37.040 The area street has quite a bit of pedestrian traffic. 50:37.040 --> 50:41.040 Right now they're walking on the street and now an acre Parkway. 50:41.040 --> 50:50.040 The why bring this up in this light is if we could put sidewalk on north street and even connecting with malaria. 50:50.040 --> 50:54.040 That that I think would be a big asset to that. 50:54.040 --> 50:56.040 Community. 50:57.040 --> 51:00.040 But again, and why bring it up now. 51:00.040 --> 51:07.040 Is that is a potential use of my opinion that maybe we search for a tab grant to do that. 51:07.040 --> 51:14.040 And should the sidewalks really be more of a street improvement and can we look for funds. 51:14.040 --> 51:17.040 Say the sidewalks and current gutter. 51:17.040 --> 51:20.040 And streets rather than necessarily the CPA. 51:20.040 --> 51:24.040 I guess that's something I look for financial. 51:25.040 --> 51:27.040 Thoughts on that I guess. 51:27.040 --> 51:33.040 I'll also think in gender Greg is there a plan for trail on the north side. 51:33.040 --> 51:38.040 We do have the trail plan for the north side of highway V and 28. 51:38.040 --> 51:41.040 We certainly can. 51:41.040 --> 51:44.040 Look into tap grants. I don't really. 51:44.040 --> 51:51.040 I'm caught flat footed, so I don't know that this is the funding cycle where we're at in that. 51:52.040 --> 51:57.040 But to do that section from main to malaria wouldn't. 51:57.040 --> 52:01.040 It wouldn't be a overwhelming dollar. 52:01.040 --> 52:09.040 Certainly something we can get it estimate from from our engineering folks to say here's what that cost would be. 52:09.040 --> 52:15.040 There is storm water through there though so that's done through. 52:16.040 --> 52:21.040 Just overland. So there might be additional costs that contribute to having a sidewalk. 52:21.040 --> 52:26.040 Meaning we not storm water underneath that to carry that water out. 52:26.040 --> 52:32.040 I had that thought on at home before I drove here and when I. 52:32.040 --> 52:36.040 I drove past it on the way here and that's does seem to be a high point. 52:36.040 --> 52:40.040 So I think the storm water would be relatively minimal, but. 52:41.040 --> 52:45.040 I do appreciate your thoughts that there's more cost involved, but I just. 52:45.040 --> 52:53.040 I'm looking for other opportunities that maybe we can separate some of these street improvements out of the project cost and. 52:53.040 --> 52:57.040 Maybe find grants other ways. 52:57.040 --> 53:02.040 Yeah, I mean, we can also look at this again from a design standpoint to. 53:02.040 --> 53:07.040 And see this isn't the full picture of the site plan, but I can bring it up with our team. 53:11.040 --> 53:16.040 And remind me the CDA is expected to manage this long term. 53:16.040 --> 53:18.040 Yep, that's correct. 53:18.040 --> 53:27.040 Any thoughts on putting in a stipulation that if it's sold within and so many years that it would transfer park fees over to that new order. 53:27.040 --> 53:32.040 I don't know how that would relate to our ordinances. 53:33.040 --> 53:37.040 I can tell you from a sale of the property or not. 53:37.040 --> 53:44.040 Because it is an affordable housing project will have a land use restriction that the 30 year land use and typically when these properties sell. 53:44.040 --> 53:47.040 They're not really an attractive thing for an investor to come in and buy. 53:47.040 --> 53:54.040 When they do sell, they typically sell at year 15 as the initial tax credit investor is exiting the property. 53:54.040 --> 53:59.040 But it's certainly, I guess I could talk with that all about it and see if that's something we could do. 54:03.040 --> 54:08.040 We have done it in the past with developments or at least proposed it. 54:08.040 --> 54:20.040 I don't think the development actually went through, but we've done that when there was no binding commitment for a 30 year low income assurance. 54:20.040 --> 54:26.040 In this situation, we do have the 30 years. So that's not something that probably would come into play. 54:27.040 --> 54:41.040 I also just had to add just for additional information, which probably nobody cares about at that 15 year point when the investor exits the CDA as the manager member will have a right of first refusal to purchase that property. 54:41.040 --> 54:46.040 And so it'll be essentially for a formula price for the outstanding debt. 54:46.040 --> 54:55.040 So it will be a really nice price to purchase that property and then we become the outright on that point. 54:55.040 --> 54:56.040 Okay. 54:56.040 --> 54:59.040 And do we have any public appearances on this? 54:59.040 --> 55:01.040 Nothing.
