Hammy’s Inc. has requested the approval of a 1.28 acre one-lot CSM to

Center Avenue. The CSM will combine the parcel which is currently
developed with Hammy’s Roadside Bar with the undeveloped parcel to the
north to accommodate the proposed expansion project and to comply with
setback regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
IV. ANALYSIS
A. The applicant proposes to create a 1.28 acre lot in order to expand
their existing 1,890 square foot bar located at 2131 Center Avenue.
Although a site plan for the proposed expansion has not been
submitted for review, staff is aware of the applicant’s intent to expand
their existing facility, and the CSM will allow for that expansion to
comply with the Zoning Ordinance.
B. The Pedestrian Transportation Corridor Plan adopted by the City
Council on 14 January 2008 establishes an official sidewalk map that
affects all streets in the City of Janesville. The map identifies the
subject portion of Center Avenue as part of the “yellow sidewalk”
category which signifies future planned, unfunded sidewalk. In
accordance with the Sidewalk Ordinance, planned unfunded sidewalk
is to be constructed within seven (7) years from the date of the
adoption of the Pedestrian Transportation Corridor Plan. Therefore,
this survey is subject to the special assessments for the construction
of sidewalk improvements to be constructed at some time as
determined by the City Engineering Department before January 14,
2015.
C. The survey dedicates a 50-foot wide portion of right-of-way along the
Center Avenue for the construction of a future public access road.
D. The final survey includes all existing utility easements and additional
utility easements as requested by the utility companies having rights
to serve the area. Existing utility easements remain in effect unless
specific action is taken to release said easements.

outstanding taxes, special assessments, or other fees which must be
paid.
