15 Extraterritorial CSM Witte Lane Background: Daniel & Nancy Last and Wilbur Miller are looking to reconfigure a previous CSM due to floodplain and wetland issues. The proposed lot is 4.5 acres gross. Issues: The following issue was identified by the Zoning Administrator: 1. Airport Approach Protection Zone elevation limits development on Lot 1 to 968 feet above mean sea level. The City of Watertown is looking to maintain the proper height restrictions within the Airport Approach Protection Zone under Wisconsin Statute Section (1)(a) which states: POWERS OF MUNICIPALITIES. (a) Any county, city, village or town that is the owner of a site for an airport or spaceport which has been approved for such purpose by the appropriate agencies of the state and the federal government may protect the aerial approaches to such site by ordinance regulating, restricting and determining the use, location, height, number of stories and size of buildings and structures and object of natural growth in the vicinity of such site and may divide the territory to be protected into several areas and impose different regulations and restrictions with respect to each area. The provisions of such ordinance shall be effective whether the site and the lands affected by such ordinance are located within or without the limits of such county, city, village or town, and whether or not such buildings, structures and object of natural growth are in existence on the effective date of the ordinance. Such regulations, restrictions and determinations are declared to be for the purpose of promoting the public safety, welfare and convenience, and may be adopted, enforced and administrated without the consent of any other governing body. Any ordinance adopted under this section may be amended from time to time in the same manner as is provided for the adoption of the original ordinance in sub. (2). The authority granted in this section shall be independent and exclusive of any other authority granted in the statutes. a. The CSM should State: Note: Lot 1 has an Airport Approach Protection Zone elevation limit of 968 feet above mean sea level for all building, structures and object of natural growth; whether or not such buildings, structures and object of natural growth are in existence. 2. Witte Lane is not identified in the 2009 City of Watertown Comprehensive Plan as having an expanded Right-of-Way, this means that the Right-of-Way should be 66 feet (33 feet from centerline) a. The Preliminary CSM should clearly indicate a right-of-way dedication of 66 feet (33 from centerline) for Witte Lane. 3. The Zoning Administrator does have concerns about the mapped floodplain boundary. And with permission of the Plan Commission, will forward the following concern onto Jefferson County: a. The Zoning Administrator believes, prior to development, the floodplain boundary elevation needs to be delineated per NR (4).

23 COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Mayor David called the regular meeting of the Common Council of the City of Watertown to order at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 1, 2018, in the Council Chambers at City Hall. ROLL CALL Roll call showed the following members present: Alderpersons McFarland, Tortomasi, Berg, Larsen, Zgonc, Raether, Tietz, Maron and Kilps. Absent: None. Also present: Police Chief Tim Roets, Fire Chief Kraig Biefeld, Engineer Jaynellen Holloway, Attorney Will Gruber, Zoning Administrator Jacob Maas and Clerk/Treasurer Elissa Meltesen. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Council recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag. MINUTES OF PRECEDING MEETING Mayor David inquired if there were additions or corrections to the minutes of the meeting held Tuesday, April 17, There being none, the minutes were approved as presented. COMMENTS & SUGGESTIONS FROM CITIZENS PRESENT Don Johnson, owner of the Carlton House Hotel, 115 S. First Street, spoke regarding the public hearing for an amendment removing boardinghouses as a principal land use permitted as conditional use within the Central Business District in Chapter 550 of the municipal code. Johnson stated the hotel is licensed by the State of WI and pays room tax. He added the proposed ordinance change will change the status of the property to a legal, non-conforming use and that there is no reason to change the use after the hotel s many years in operation. Jonathan Lampe, Watertown Library Board President, spoke regarding proposed Resolution #8635 establishing the City s intended participation in the library s expansion/renovation project. Lampe stated that he is worried that the spirit of cooperation between the City and Public Library may be deteriorating. Lampe urged the Common Council to return consideration of the proposed resolution to the Finance Committee to address some of the Library s concerns including the requirement to have the entire Library portion of the project funds available rather than allowing pledges to come in over a period of time and that the resolution does not address the need for a potential parking structure. Rob Marchant, Chairperson of Watertown Redevelopment Authority (RDA), appeared to update the Common Council on the vision of the RDA and to comment on proposed Resolutions #8630 and #8631. Marchant stated the RDA views itself as a force of transformative change downtown. Marchant added the RDA does not wish to force anyone out of business but rather wants to support businesses while developing a town square. Marchant noted other RDA initiatives including hosting Startup Watertown at the incubator building on Industrial Drive. Marchant stated the RDA is facing headwinds with the remaining properties to be acquired and noted that unless a win/win situation including a willing buyer and willing seller can be accomplished the RDA may have to consider other projects to improve the downtown area. Marchant commented on WI Act 243 and its effect on efforts to acquire property for downtown revitalization and as a result requested the Common Council table resolutions #8630 and #8631. Nate Salas, Vice Chairperson of the RDA addressed the Common Council. He stated the vision of the RDA is to bring positive change to Watertown and noted the need to give people a reason to choose Watertown and bring young families and professionals to the community. He added the RDA can t tell when and how each step of downtown revitalization will occur because things do not always go as planned with property acquisitions but the RDA remains focused on highlighting the Rock River and bringing positive transformation downtown. Salas noted WI Act 243 may change the rules but won t change the RDA s vision. Salas addressed concerns over the recent purchase of a property on Market Street and explained that while this may not have been a purchase initially planned, the RDA needs to weigh 1

24 risk versus return when an opportunity is presented. He added the RDA is bringing quality resources and best practices from private business to accomplish its vision of change. Kristen Fish, Executive Director of the RDA, addressed the Common Council. She noted that in her experience as a consultant to communities throughout the Midwest, public investment in a revitalization project is heavy at first but once redevelopment begins to occur private investment increases and public investment is reduced. Fish stated the RDA is trying to make good investments to create more tax base for the City. Fish added the next RDA meeting is May 7 and that the RDA will hold a forum at Towne Cinema on May 16 to answer questions from the public. PUBLIC HEARING Mayor David declared open at 7:27 p.m. a public hearing regarding an amendment removing boardinghouses as a principal land use permitted as a conditional use within the Central Business District in Chapter 550 of the municipal code. Mike Hellekson spoke on behalf of the Washington Inn, 516 E. Main Street. Hellekson noted the property has been operating as a hotel for 150 years and has also been home to a restaurant and local bar for decades. He explained that a number of people who stay at the hotel end up making Watertown their home and the property is an affordable place to stay while people try to get a leg up. Hellekson requested that the Washington Inn and Carlton House be excluded from the proposed ordinance amendment and that the ordinance be re-drafted. Ellen Klaus, 207 Riverlawn Avenue, appeared on behalf of the Watertown Historic Preservation and Downtown Design Commission in support of the proposed ordinance amendment. She stated the amendment will not impact current boardinghouses and feels this is a positive step forward. Mayor David asked that the record reflect that comments made earlier in the meeting by Don Johnson be considered part of the comments on this matter and declared the public hearing closed at 7:30 p.m. COMMITTEE REPORTS Finance Committee, April 23, First amendment to MOU with RDA.
