Community Development Department Memorandum
July 11, 2011
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Duane Cherek, Planning Services Manager
SUBJECT: Final CSM 11005-C, Kwik Trip, Inc., 1 Lot along USH 51.
SUMMARY
Kwik Trip, Inc. has requested the approval of a one-lot certified survey map located at the
southeast corner of USH 51 and STH 11. The subject property was annexed to the City
in December 2009 and zoned B4 – Business Highway District. The applicant proposes to
consolidate multiple parcels of land under their ownership into one lot. Kwik Trip intends
to pursue redevelopment of the site and has submitted plans for construction of a new
gas station and convenience store at this time. Recording the CSM is a necessary
component of any future redevelopment of the property which the applicant is addressing
with this action.
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission and Community Development Department recommend that the
City Council support a motion to approve Final CSM 11005-C.
CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager concurs with the recommendation.
SUGGESTED MOTION
A motion to approve Final CSM 11005-C subject to the following conditions:
1. Payment of special assessments for storm sewer ($23,629.37) and street light
($5,385.60) improvements as calculated by the City Engineering Department.
2. Payment of any outstanding special assessments including taxes owed (the
applicant should contact the City Clerk’s Office regarding this item).
ANALYSIS
A. The certified survey will combine a previously platted lot with other parcels of land
recently acquired by the applicant. The survey area contains 3.43 acres of land and is
zoned B4. Existing structures located on the property include the Kwik Trip
convenience store and gas pump canopy. The survey dedicates right-of-way along
the State Highway 11 frontage of the lot.
B. Access is currently restricted to the two existing driveway openings along the USH 51
frontage of the subject property. Because STH 11 is also a controlled access highway
under the jurisdiction of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), the
applicant will be required to obtain an access permit from WisDOT to allow for a
connection to STH 11. The survey includes a note to that affect.
C. The survey complies with the requirements of the City’s Subdivision and Zoning
Ordinance.
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. A
sanitary sewer and water easement has also be placed on the survey to reflect the
location of existing mains that were extended to serve the property with public utility
services in 2004.
E. The property owner has requested that the Plan Commission release the existing
10-foot utility easement extending east from STH 11 to the westerly property line.
As a condition of survey approval, staff has indicated that an “Easement Release”
note be reflected on the final CSM.
F. Sidewalks are planned for the STH 11 and USH 51 frontages of Lot 1. A note
regarding the future installation of sidewalk improvements is included on the survey.
G. Under current special assessment policy, the survey will be subject to payment of
special assessments for street light and storm sewer improvements, as calculated by
the City Engineering Department.
H. The applicant should contact the City Clerk’s Office regarding any outstanding taxes,
special assessments, or other fees which must be paid.
PLAN COMMISSION ACTION – JUNE 6, 2011
The Plan Commission unanimously agreed to forward Final CSM 11005-C to the City
Council with a favorable recommendation subject to the conditions listed in the
“Suggested Motion” section above.
