Absent: Mayor Ed McAleer

Call Meeting to Order

Pledge of Allegiance

Ald. Phil Schuman, President of the Council, stated that he will be filling in for Mayor McAleer who is ill.  He further stated that there is a fairly full agenda and that a number of citizens had signed up to talk about the water issue.  One of the items on the agenda is the process regarding the decision-making process.  There will be some public hearings later in the month regarding the water issue.

1. APPROVE MINUTES of August 21, 2000.  Tabled for next Common Council Meeting due to late distribution.

2. CITIZENS COMMENTS ON ITEMS PERTAINING TO THIS AGENDA.

 Bill Broydrick, 191 Fieldstone Rd. formerly 210 Bark River Court
On the water issue, it seems the Council ought to be creative and look at the downtown TIF and how much is funded there and whether there are any remaining funds in the old TIF at 83 in order to develop a pot of money that could pay for a water system for those that will benefit from it in the downtown and have hook-up be on a voluntary basis rather than a mandatory basis because the reason there is a crowd tonight is because you are telling the citizens that they are going to have to pay $1,500 for water.  If you were able to  fund it through the TIF, you could have a water system and if people wanted to join it, it would be voluntary and they could do that.  Suggest City does not charge people $1,500, do not make it mandatory, but rather pay for it by using the cash flow from the TIF district and additional funds available (from Towne Center and Daybreak).

On the question of Hawks Commons proposal, I am unclear about where it is in terms of the Council.  Perhaps the City Adm. can tell us what the status of that proposal and where it is.  What is the status of the project.  Has it been approved by the Plan Commission.  Does it contemplate a water system like the one that is proposed.  If you have a large number of people that are unhappy with the water proposal and you’re going to have a downtown TIF and if you're going to have a planned unit development which also could be a part of the downtown TIF, it could develop a tremendous increment that might be able to pay for the water system.  City very bondable.

Adm. Carlson stated the Plan Commission had not approved the Hawks Commons proposal.  The process for this development is that the owners of the land have requested that the project be approved on a planned use development.  What that requires is that the petitioner or applicant receive a preliminary reading from the Plan Commission.  That happened last Wednesday. The next step in the process is that they receive approval and consideration on what is called a general development plan.  Once the general development plan is then approved and considered, the final step is called a specific implementation plan.  There are still public hearings, public processes that follow that development process.  In addition to that, the Plan Commission had a dialogue last  Wednesday with the applicant and the applicant agreed to get some feedback from the Public Works Committee on issues like transportation circulation through the neighborhood connections from the Public Works Committee.  That will happen tomorrow night. The applicant has also agreed to host an informational community workshop.  Anyone interested in attending, it will be held sometime in the middle of September to discuss the project.  That process is outside and above and beyond the normal approval process for conditional use.  This project is in the very first stages. The testimony at the Plan Commission Meeting was that the development could  move forward under either two scenarios wither service of municipal water or wells. As a part of the financial analysis, the planned development was explored regarding the downtown TIF when the original project  plan was put together.  We made some projections on the financial capacity--what would happen if there was no new development, that the base line existing tax financing as it is right now--that scenario would generate a little over $3,000,000 that could be used toward tax increment financed projects that were outlined in the originally approved plan.  The second scenario was-what would happen if those projects that had already received approval from the Plan Commission that fall within the boundaries of the TIF district what would happen to those developments.  (There are two developments--Towne Center and Daybreak Mobil Station.)  If the two developments move forward, it would add  approximately $700,000 depending when they developed and when the tax base started.  The third scenario was--what would happen if we made some assumptions about the thirty-two acres in addition to the other two developments and it developed over a five year time period,  What would happen if there were 150 units developed on the thirty-two acres and those developed over a five-year time period.  That scenario would generate upwards of $7,500,000.  This money could be used for bonds.  The original policy was to use TIF dollars first.  It becomes very dangerous to say that the water system will be paid with TIF revenues and some of the assumptions made in arriving at those revenues don't come true.  Would we want to be in the position of having to be forced to approve a development because we counted on the revenue of the development to pay for the water system.  We don't want to be in that position.  Adm. Carlson stated that if anyone did not get the handout regarding the possible dialogue on the water system, please let him know.

-Water system not affordable for many people.
-Delafield dream--a Williamsburg .
-Hawks Commons a Boston rowhouse project.  Delafield not a rowhouse community.
-Hawks Commons acreage prime land.
-School impact.
-Zoning of Hawks Commons

Adm. Carlson  stated that the City Council is not taking any action re the Hawks Commons and suggested that the Council remain neutral on the conditional use request until the issue comes before the Common Council.  Because the developer has taken the route of conditional use, the Plan Commission must follow process steps.  Suggest to citizens have comments, pros and cons, and you wish to participate and in be involved in the process before the Plan Commission, make sure you understand the development, make sure you ask questions at the Plan Commission level, allow the Plan Commission to do their work.

Bob Borkowski, 4521 Vettelson
-Does not like Hilton Garden Hotel
-Delafield has no need for Hotel this size
-Developers who present to Common Council say this is going to be good for city; don't  think so.  Rhetoric.

Val Gottschalk, 1465 Milwaukee Street
-Approval of Minutes
-City Attorney letter--Adm. Carlson concluded no referendum needed; does not come to same conclusion  as Administrator--not so sure that is what letter states
-Hawks Commons submitted to Council by Plan Commission
-Any conflict of interest regarding projects; statute?
-Needs rezoning to accommodate the Hawks Commons?  Don't believe rezoning should be done to accommodate someone's profit margin
-No benefit to downtown other than infrastructure
-Mandatory water hook-up; DNR states City cannot require mandatory hook-up.
-Fire protection--Council should look at all options, step back on contract with EarthTech, there is time-contract time Sept. 2004
-TIF taxpayers money

 Adm. Carlson stated that there are two portions to the City Attorney's letter.  Adm. Carlson stated that he stated that the referendum was not required; he did not say that it was not necessary.  The question concerning when the TIF funds need to be committed is a legal question.  There is a difference of opinion as to when the TIF funds need to be committed and what amount.  When the determination is made, the City will make sure that everyone knows and it will be resolved as part of the process.

Bab Magnus, 111 Milwaukee Street

-Why committed to water, per Mayor; hundreds of people upset and many spoke against water.  Why did the Mayor make that statement.  Why?  No answer.
-What is driving water issue.  Is Hawks Commons driving this?
-Be more honest.
 
 Adm. Carlson stated that he wished to respond.  He reviewed the flyer that was circulated.  The accusation concerning the water system serving the thirty-two acres behind City Hall.  Hawks Commons has the ability to move forward whether the City does the water system or doesn't.  There is no connection between the City moving forward with the water system  and the Hawks Commons.

4. COMMITTEE REPORTS

 a. Licenses/None

 b. Plan Commission

1. Recommend to Council Amendment to approve amendment the existing Conditional Use Permit for Lot 7, Tax Key #0794.019 Cushing Park Business Center with a moratorium on Wireless Telecommunications Tower until a policy is approved (approximately 3 months)

Dave Miller representing Cushing Park Business Center and Jerry Lyons owner present.  Mr. Miller stated this is a 1.3 acre parcel, ideal for collocation.  Requesting second part of motion from previous meeting that being a moratorium be lifted--causing hardship.  Also present Jerry Banach of SBA Towers, Inc, proposing to build tower.  Lot is 75 x 75  and is ideal for tower.  Very undesirable property, WEPCO easement, steep slope on one side.  Tower would be 120 ft with ability to heighten.  Trees approximately 60 ft.
 
For the record, Adm. Carlson stated that he would like to ask a question regarding the original proposal for a collocation on the WEPCO site.  At the first Plan Commission meeting Adm.Carlson attended there was a proposal  for SBA and Industar  to collocate and Mr. Lyons objected.

Ald. Romanowski stated that the Plan Commission had extensive discussion to amend the conditional use permit.  There are several issues the Plan Commission has been wrestling with aesthetic concerns, and tax basis concerns as well.  From an economic standpoint, Adm. Carlson stated that a lot in a business park that is anticipated to be developed with a business on it will generate a  certain dollar amount for taxes`  If you take that lot/business and convert it from a taxable use to one that won't generate taxes there is a net fiscal loss to the City.  That case would exist in  this particular example.  The City would generate personal property taxes paid by the company to the State and redistributed to the City on a per capita basis.  So, one of the early questions that the Plan Commission asked the applicant was to provide a fiscal analysis that compared the revenues that would be generated under the use that was proposed versus the one that was originally approved by the Plan Commission and the City Council and the applicant chose not to do that Mr. Lyons stated that that was not necessarily true.  First, there needs to be a building on the site.  The fact of the matter is that there has not even been an offer from anybody to build on the site.  It is not a very desirable site to build on.  If it were, he would 100% agree with the Council.  Fact of the manner is that they may be sitting on that site for some time generating no revenue.   Investment will cost approximately $200,000, carriers  will have an investment of approximately $250,000 each.  Moratorium was established because City desires to establish a policy on where it wants to sell cell towers in the community, outline guidelines, define areas.  Adm. Carlson believes policy can be developed within 3-month period.  The Plan Commission voted to change the conditional use for the Cushing Park Business Center to permit the use of Lot 7 for a cellular tower.  Right now the Cushing Park Business Center is limited to three uses  B1, B2, and B3 by the conditional use.  So, in order to accomplish what the owner wants to accomplish, there needs to be a two-step process.  The first step was to amend the existing conditional use, and the Plan Commission voted on a 3/2 vote to recommend to the Council to change that conditional use .  The second part of the motion was to adopt this three-month moratorium in order to put together this cell tower ordinance to additional direction to the cellular industry where the most appropriate locations for the cell towers to be,  The choices are:  approve the Plan Commission recommendation, you can reject it, or you can send it back to the  Plan Commission with direction.  Policy to establish such items as location of cell towers, height of cell towers, requirements regarding specific site plans, are there requirements for specific site plans.  Attorney Rob Silben representing Jerry Lyons stated that the moratorium should not apply to this project but to future projects.  Moratorium the need for ordinance but don't apply retroactively.  Mr. Jerry Lyons owner of development stated that he cannot sell the lot, there is a tower already there.  He does not understand why another tower cannot be located there.

MOTION TO RECOMMEND THE BUILDLING OF THE TOWER. WITH A THREE-MONTH MORITORIAM ON  FUTURE PROJECTS  (MATHEY/) MOTION FAILS FOR LACK OF SECOND.

MOTION TO ACCEPT THE PLAN COMMISSION PROPOSAL ASKING THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE THE AMENDMENT ON THE CONDITIONAL USE AND ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION FOR A THREE-MONTH MORITORIAM TO ESTABLISH AN ORDINANCE TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN THAT TIME.  (QUARTARO/LIEBLANG)  DISCUSSION.  CARRIED.  (ROMANOWSKI-NAY)

2.  Conditional Use for Lot 7, Tax Key #0794.019 Conditional Use Permit for SBA, Inc.
   Item tabled.

3. Recommend to Council approval of SIP for Hilton Garden and Conference Center, Nagawaukee Center, Hans Weissgerber, Applicant

Hans Weissgerber present.  Also present Hans Weissgerber, Jr., Bob Siegert, John Hebrantz.  Mr. Weissgerber gave brief history of land and presentation regarding SIP, tax revenue impact.  Discussion.  Green space is approx. overall 35% to 48%.
Adm. Carlson expressed concern that although this specific project meets or exceeds green space, the remaining undeveloped parcels re the GDP may not.  May be running out of green space with regards to remaining GDP particularly the office space.  If the density is increased on parts of the project, you must make it up elsewhere.  Adm. Carlson asked Mr. Weisgerber whether he will seek a change in the overall green space,  Adm. Carlson stated that Mr. Weisgerber is under agreement regarding the overall green space.  Will Mr. Weisgerber be seeking an amendment regarding the overall green space when the remaining projects come before the City.  Mr. Weissgerber stated it is not his intention to seek a change in greenspace. Mr. Weisgerber stated that at this time he is in compliance with present SIP plan.  He cannot commit to hypotheticals.  Adm. Carlson stated that the Council has a green space requirement in place to lock in the green space requirements.  Five years from now, development has occurred, now facing how to match the 35% green space.  Choices don't develop on some parcels or reduce the green space requirement.  What can happen, if though there is a 6.7 parcel available, it won't have any value as an office space because the 35% green space requirement cannot be met.  Everyone should go into this with open eyes.

MOTION TO ACCEPT SIP WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:  THE APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING PLANS BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY ENGINEER AND REVIEWED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REFLECTING THE CITY'S CURRENT EROSION CONTROL AND STORMWATER MANAGMENT CRITERIA; 2 THAT THE GREEN SPACE FOR THE NAGAWAUKEE CENTER BE VERIFIED; 3. THAT A TREE INVENTORY BE PROVIDED SHOWING EXISTING TREES AND TREES THAT WILL BE REMOVED; 4. THAT SUPPLEMENTAL TRAFFIC INFORMATION BE PROVIDED BY HNTB REGARDING I-94 AND HWY 83; AND 5. THE LANDSCAPING PLAN, LIGHTING PLAN AND SIGNAGE WILL BE ADDRESSED  AT A FUTURE PLAN COMMISSION MEETING. (CRAIG/LIEBLANG) DISCUSSION.  CARRIED.  MATHEY-NAY.

 4. Informational-Preliminary Consideration Hawks Commons
Adm.Carlson stated that there were residents that requested notification of when the Hawks Commons project was moving forward and this is one way of accomplishing the notification.  The Hawks Commons has received a preliminary hearing from the Plan Commission.   Future public hearings will be held; Hawks Commons will appear before Public Works on Wednesday.  Plan Commission has made no commitment regarding density plan, in very preliminary stages.  Plans must be submitted sixty days prior to appearing before the agenda.  Zoning presently R3, R4, and R6.    .

Mathey was not apprised of the length of the restriction area, i.e. Journey Dr., to Bark River Road.  Police Chief Arndt stated that he made an appraisal of the area, and stated there are embankments, and it is not a good area for parking.  One particular offender has caused a problem.  Letter was sent, offender has no on-premise parking.  Recommendation letter to residents including Mr.Mathey.  Replies:  3 for; 2 okay, 1 no.  Adm. Carlson stated there are adopt the ordinance as recommended by Police Chief Arndt, adopt recommendation but shorten the area or leave as is and enforce the existing parking restrictions in roadway.

b. Towne Center Developer Agreement
Adm. Carlson distributed a copy of the agreement that Attorney Chapman drafted.  Basically, the agreement commits the owners/developers will be responsible for any environmental contaminated soil  or water to be removed from the site.  This agreement is in conjunction with item 7b,   recommending the adoption of a preliminary special assessment resolution that assigns the costs for the sanitary sewer, water line, street, sidewalks, ornamental lighting to the owner/developer of the property.

MOTION TO APPROVE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.  (ROMANOWSKI/ALDRIDGE)  CARRIED.

 c. Discussion regarding Water System Decision Making Process
Adm. Carlson stated there has been a lot of input regarding the water system.  People don't like different parts of it, people who don't want it at all, people who want city water, people who want the water but are concerned about the assessment, ability of people to afford.  Proposed way to resolve issue.  Basically, create two informational meetings--one September 14 in the Council Chambers.  Topics for discussion would be threefold:  service area boundaries, redefinition of the downtown, connection policy (mandatory vs. voluntary), and water supply and the location of the second well and location of supply in the downtown area.  The second meeting will be September 28.  This meeting has been set aside for special assessment policies and the finances that go behind the water system.  Minutes will be taken of the meeting on the 14th and the 28th  Idea behind meetings to generate dialogue, ideas, and discussion.  On October 9, a letter would be prepared summarizing all information--a special newsletter.  On October 16, the matter will come back before the Council for some direction. A public hearing will be held on October 19 at 7:00.   November 6 the matter will again come before Council.  Discussion.  Adm. Carlson stated that this is not his personal project.  This project was planned and desired prior to his coming to Delafield.  Ald. Craig wished to clarify that the workshops would be two-way discussions and that EarthTech has answers and that the council will attend to the best of their ability.  Adm. Carlson confirmed.  Site for workshops to be determined.  If residents know questions prior to workshops, public hearings, the questions can be e-mailed, left on voice mail or relayed to a secretary.

6. MAYOR'S REPORT/None
 
7. NEW BUSINESS

a. Approve Contract for Milwaukee/Dopkins Street and Fish Hatchery Parking Lot
Adm. Carlson stated the City received three bids for the work.  City Engineer Fred Welch stated the low bidder was Capitol.  The price was 386, 374.  The next bid was $390,192 and the third was over $400,000.  The first and second were within 10%.  This includes the parking lot and the upgrades for Milwaukee Street and Dobkins Street.  Capitol Pavers is a spin-off of Super Excavators and the City has done work with Super Excavators.

MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT TO CAPITOL PAVERS.  (ROMANOWSKI/LIEBLANG)  CARRIED.

b. Approve Preliminary Special Assessment Resolution for Milwaukee/Dopkins Street
Adm. Carlson stated that the City Attorney has drafted this resolution which identifies that the City would special assess the property owners along Milwaukee Street, one property owner Lang Companies and the special assessment would include the construction of the asphalt pavement extensions to Milwaukee Street, the installation of the concrete curb and gutter, concrete sidewalk and streetscape installation of sanitary sewer and water main, installation of sidewalks, stormwater system and the street lights.  This resolution is the first step in adopting a special assessment for these improvements.  It directs the City Engineer to prepare an engineering study.  The next step, unless the property owner waives this is a public notice and a public hearing and then the Common Council would consider a final resolution which would assign the final costs, it would assign the payback period, the interest rates, all the specifics behind the special assessment.  So, this is the first step prepared by the City Attorney and recommended for approval.  The amount that is going to be special assessed is about 45% of the project costs, not including the possible remediation required under Sanitary Sewer 2b and Water main 3b.  Those numbers come from preliminary engineering reports that identify the breakdown of the costs.  The main question here is there a benefit to anyone other than that owner of the property.  A portion of the work that is being conducted under this contract that the Council just approved-the Fish Hatchery Parking Lot.  That Fish Hatchery Parking Lot was part of the tax increment finance district project plan as being paid for with TIF dollars.  The items that were identified on the resolution are being paid for through that special assessment and the actual breakdown of the expenses or a portion of those expenses has not been finalized yet.  It gets finalized as we move forward with the engineering report and the final resolution that is considered by the Council.

MOTION TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY RESOLUTION DECLARING TO EXERCISE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICE POWERS FOR THE MILWAUKEE STREET/DOPKINS STREET PROJECT.  (ROMANOWSKI/ALDRIDGE)  CARRIED.

c. Approve Amendment to EarthTech Water Feasibility and Master Plan Contract
Adm. Carlson stated EarthTech completed their assignment in preparing the Master Plan Feasibility Study.  As a result of the discussions tonight, the Council received additional dialogue and some additional information to gather and some work to be done.  A request was made for a breakdown in engineering hours which is a total of 192 hours.  The City will be billed on an actual hours per basis up to $14,000 for the total scope in this next section of the work.   There is a question about the specific scope of work with respect to the location of the second well.  In order to come to a final conclusion on the well site, where ever it will be, extensive testing needs to be done, i.e. soil boring, test well, water analysis….  That specific level of detail is not included as part of this scope of work.  But what is included is the availability of the engineer’s time and the analysis that goes behind it to help navigate through the policy process.  The amendment for the contract buys 192 more hours for a total cost of $14,000.  There are four tasks:  1) location of the second well; 2) discussion and definition of the service area boundaries; 3) discussion about the connection policy; and 4) financing of private laterals.  There will be a record-making process.  Ald. Craig asked Adm. Carlson if he is affiliated with the company in any way.  Adm. Carlson’s response:  “no.”
