#5 Approve final survey map #09010-C, 2 lots along STH 11 Community Development Department Memorandum October 26, 2009 TO: Janesville City Council FROM: Duane Cherek, Planning Services Manager SUBJECT: Final CSM 09010-C, Dean Health Systems/SSM Health Care, 2 lots along STH 11. I. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission and Community Development Department recommend that the City Council support a motion to approve Final CSM 09010-C subject to the payment of special assessments in the following amounts: storm sewer ($342,782.55) streetlight ($2,943.98) and sidewalk improvements ($46,181.00). II. REQUEST Dean Health System and SSM Healthcare of Wisconsin are requesting a 2-Lot survey of land located on the south side of STH 11 (E. Racine Street) between Interstate 39/90 and S. Wright Road. The property is currently undeveloped and zoned B4-Business Highway District. The applicants intend to create a development site for the establishment of a regional medical complex. The survey configures the subject property into two lots containing a total of 50.6 acres. Lot 1 is 28.2 acres in size and is designed to accommodate a medical clinic and office building for Dean Health Systems. Lot 2 will create a development site that is 22.4 acres in size for the construction of a new hospital by SSM Health Care (St. Mary’s). The common lot line between Lots 1 and 2 defines the proposed separation between the medical facilities to be constructed by Dean/SSM on the subject property. III. ANALYSIS A. The applicant’s propose to create two lots from a contiguous 50–acre landholding south of STH 11, east of Interstate 39/90. The property is zoned B4-Business Highway District, currently vacant and in agricultural use. B. Construction of a regional medical facility (clinic, office building and hospital) is proposed on the subject property. In order to accommodate the proposed development, a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was conducted. The TIA has identified a number of traffic improvements that will be required along the STH 11 frontage of the survey area, as well as on S. Wright Road. Those improvements reflect the need for modifications and/or upgrades to the northbound I-90 exit ramp at STH 11, the Midland Road and Wright Road intersections with STH 11 and improvements associated with a driveway connection to S. Wright Road adjoining Lot 2. Details regarding the type, cost and design of traffic improvements required to support the proposed development will be documented in a separate Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Janesville and WisDOT, and the City of Janesville and the Developers. C. The long term traffic improvement recommended by the TIA for the access point on S. Wright Road includes a round-about facility. This feature will serve the subject property and the future commercial development site to the east with appropriate access and circulation projected by the TIA. The survey dedicates the necessary right-of-way along South Wright Road to accommodate this traffic feature. D. Access to the medical facilities via internal drives and shared parking is proposed between Lots 1 and 2 as part of the development. A separate easement to provide for ingress, egress, cross access and shared parking will be recorded in conjunction with the CSM. A note to this affect has been placed on survey to reference this arrangement. E. The survey will be subject to the payment of special assessments for storm sewer, sidewalk and street light improvements. The estimated cost for those assessments as calculated by the Engineering Department is provided in the recommendation section. F. Sidewalks are planned for the STH 11 frontage and S. Wright Road frontage of the survey area. The survey dedicates a 30’ wide sidewalk easement along the STH 11 frontage of property. The easement is provided to allow for the construction of a 10’ wide bicycle and pedestrian trail within this area, instead of the standard sidewalk improvement that is typically installed within the adjoining right-of-way. During review of the development proposal, City staff and representatives from Dean/SMM agreed that construction of a trail in this location rather than a sidewalk would be more appropriate and provide greater benefit to both the project and community. The developer will be required to satisfy the cost of this improvement and is responsible for maintenance of the trail which includes snow removal. G. Application of “No Access” notes along the Interstate 90 frontage of Lot 1 and the STH 11 frontage of Lots 1 and 2 are shown on the CSM. Proposed access to the site from STH 11 at the Midland Road intersection must be granted by WisDOT, and is subject to City Council approval of a MOU between the City and WisDOT. Separate review and action by the City Council is necessary to satisfy that requirement. H. Payment of any outstanding special assessments including taxes owed (the applicant should contact the City Clerk’s Office regarding this item). IV. PLAN COMMISSION ACTION – 21 SEPTEMBER 2009 The Plan Commission unanimously agreed to forward Final CSM 09010-C to the City Council with a favorable recommendation subject to the conditions listed in Section I. cc: Eric Levitt Jay Winzenz Ю±°±­»¼ Ô±¬ î Ю±°±­»¼ Ô±¬ ï Ý·¬§ Ô·³·¬­ q Ô»¹»²¼ Í«¾¶»½¬ Í·¬» Ü¿¬»æ èñîìñðç ͽ¿´»æ ïþã ëððù Ó¿° ݱ±®¼·²¿¬»æ Ïóïí ÔÑÝßÌ×ÑÒ ñ ÆÑÒ×ÒÙ ÓßÐ Ý×ÌÇ ÑÚ ÖßÒÛÍÊ×ÔÔÛ ÝÍÓ ðçðïðóÝ ÓßÐ ï ÐÔßÒÒ×ÒÙ ÍÛÎÊ×ÝÛÍ ÍæÐ®±¶»½¬­Äд¿²²·²¹ÄÍ«®ª»§Ó¿°­ÄÍ«®ª»§Ó¿°­óîððçÄÏóïíÁðçðïðóÝ
