Donges Bay Rd., Mequon, WI Bradley A. Whitford 1108 Bennett St., Janesville, WI Community Development Department Memorandum September 16, 2011 TO: Janesville City Council FROM: Brad Schmidt, AICP, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Final CSM 11008-C, Mercy Health System, 1 Lot along Deerfield Drive. SUMMARY Mercy Health System has requested the approval of a one-lot certified survey map located at 3400 Deerfield Drive between the Wal-Mart Supercenter and Home Depot. The subject property has not been previously surveyed or platted except for the inclusion of a small Outlot located at the corner of Deerfield and Sandhill Drive. The applicant intends to pursue development of the site and has submitted plans for an initial development consisting of a 23,000 square foot physician’s clinic, urgent care facility and emergency department. The proposed development will occur on the southernmost 5 acres of the 25 acre site. Recording a CSM is a necessary component of any future development of the property which the applicant is addressing with this action. DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission and Community Development Department recommend the City Council find the conveyance of a small parcel of public land for inclusion in this survey consistent with city plans and then support a motion to approve CSM 11008-C subject to: 1. Payment of special assessments of $172,993.41 for storm sewer improvements. 2. Transfer of a portion of a City-owned Outlot to Mercy Health Systems by quit claim deed in advance of the recording of the CSM. 3. Inclusion of a sidewalk and transit shelter building easement on the final CSM. ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION I concur with the recommendation of the Plan Commission SUGGESTION MOTION A motion to find the conveyance of a small parcel of public land for inclusion in this survey consistent with city plans and then approve CSM 11008-C subject to the payment of special assessments of $172,993.41 for storm sewer improvements and transfer of a portion of a City-owned Outlot to Mercy Health Systems by quit claim deed in advance of the recording of the CSM. ANALYSIS A. The survey complies with the requirements of the City’s Subdivision and Zoning Ordinance. B. The necessary street right-of-way dedications are included in the survey along Deerfield and Sandhill Drives. C. The survey area is undeveloped, contains 25.34 acres of land and is zoned B4, Highway Business District. The site is currently used for agriculture purposes. The lot configuration for the proposed parcel is adequate in size and shape to satisfy the zoning and subdivision ordinance requirements. Development of the site is being reviewed as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) since the applicant is proposing phases for future development. D. Lot One of the survey includes a small triangular shaped parcel of land that is currently in public ownership at the northeast corner of Deerfield and Sandhill Drive (see Exhibit A). That parcel was acquired by the City in 1998 as part of a land exchange between the City and the developer of Pine Tree Plaza to allow for the dedication of the Sandhill Drive. It is considered an unusable remnant which has no functional value to the city due to its isolated location. At the time of acceptance, it was the City’s intent to hold the property for future conveyance to be combined with the adjoining lands to the north. As such, it is logical for a portion of this surplus property to be included as part of Lot 1 with the balance of the parcel to be combined with the adjoining public greenbelt. The CSM has been configured to fulfill that original intent. The conveyance of land can be achieved through a transfer of land between the adjoining owners prior to the completion of the certified survey yet following City Council authorization of the conveyance. E. 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 20-foot wide municipal utility easement is included on the CSM to encompass a storm sewer main that bisects a portion of the lot near Sandhill Drive. F. Under current special assessment policy, the survey will be subject to payment of special assessments for storm sewer improvements, as calculated by the City Engineering Department. Street light and sidewalk assessments were previously satisfied when Deerfield Drive was improved and the right-of-way for Sandhill Drive was dedicated by prior CSM. G. Sidewalks currently exist along the Deerfield Drive frontage of Lot 1. A 10-foot wide pave bicycle and pedestrian trail is constructed along the unimproved section of the Sandhill Drive frontage of the survey area. H. Based on standard practice, this survey is not subject to parkland dedication requirements since the property is zoned for and will be developed for commercial purposes. I. 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 – 19 SEPTEMBER 2011 The Plan Commission unanimously agreed to forward Final CSM 11008-C to the City Council with a favorable recommendation subject to the conditions listed in Section 1.

Levitt, City Manager JANESVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT September 13, 2011 TO: City Council FROM: David J. Moore, Chief of Police SUBJECT: Presentation of WILEAG Accreditation Award to Janesville Police Department Executive Summary Professor Stan Stojkovic of the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee and Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation Group – WILEAG Board Member will present the police department and the community the WILEAG Accreditation plaque at the city council meeting on Monday September 26, 2011. This is an important moment for the police department. The department attained accreditation status in May of 2000 and was re-accredited in June of 2008. The department was most recently re-accredited in July of 2011. Accreditation assures that the department has up to date policy and procedure and the department is able to prove compliance. cc: Eric Levitt, City Manager Jay Winzenz, Director of Administrative Services 1 Community Development Department Memorandum September 21, 2011 TO: Janesville City Council FROM: Duane Cherek, Manager of Planning Services SUBJECT: Second reading, public hearing and action on a proposed ordinance annexing property located at 2006 North County Trunk E (File Ordinance No. 2011-495); and Second reading, public hearing and action on a proposed ordinance zoning property located at 2006 North County Trunk E to B2 upon annexation (File Ordinance No. 2011-496). The second reading and public hearing for this annexation and zoning was scheduled for the September 26 City Council meeting. At the September 6th Plan Commission meeting, the applicant requested that the City Council postpone action on his annexation petition until after the October 4 Alcohol License Advisory Committee meeting for issuance of a City of Janesville alcohol license for this property. A delay in Council review of the annexation and zoning ordinances for this property would not be problematic. Therefore, staff recommends that the Council President first open the scheduled public hearing to receive any comments from the public regarding the annexation and zoning and then continue the public hearing for Ordinance Nos. 2011-495 and 2011-496 to October 10, 2011. cc: Eric Levitt Jay Winzenz Î×ÊÛÎÍ×ÜÛ ÐßÎÕ ÐßÎÝÛÔ ÌÑ ÞÛ ÎÛÆÑÒÛÜ Ñï ÚÎÑÓ ÝÑÒÍÛÎÊßÒÝÇ É×ÌØ ÐßÎÕ×ÒÙ ÑÊÛÎÔßÇ ÌÑ Þî Ý ßÒÒÛÈßÌ×ÑÒ ßÎÛß ÌÑ ÞÛ ÆÑÒÛÜ Þî ÌÑÉÒ ÑÚ ÖßÒÛÍÊ×ÔÔÛ Ý×ÌÇ ÑÚ ÖßÒÛÍÊ×ÔÔÛ Îí q Æ±²·²¹ Þ±«²¼¿®§ Ö¿²»ª·´´» Ì±©²¸·° Ð¿®½»´ ¬± ¾» ®»¦±²»¼ Þî ß²²»¨¿¬·±² ß®»¿ Îï Í·²¹´»óÚ¿³·´§ ú Ì©± Ú¿³·´§ Î»·¼»²½» Ü·¬®·½¬ Ñí Ò»·¹¸¾±®¸±±¼ Ñºº·½» Ü·¬®·½¬ Óï Ô·¹¸¬ ×²¼«¬®·¿´ Ü·¬®·½¬ ÎïÜ Ì©± Ú¿³·´§ Î»·¼»²½» Ü·¬®·½¬ Þï Ò»·¹¸¾±®¸±±¼ Ý±²ª»²·»²½» Ü·¬®·½¬Óî Ù»²»®¿´ ×²¼«¬®·¿´ Ü·¬®·½¬ Îî Ô·³·¬»¼ Ù»²»®¿´ Î»·¼»²½» Ü·¬®·½¬ Þî Ý±³³«²·¬§ Í¸±°°·²¹ Ü·¬®·½¬Óí Ý»²¬®¿´ Ô·¹¸¬ ×²¼«¬®·¿´ Ü·¬®·½¬ Îí Ù»²»®¿´ Î»·¼»²½» Ü·¬®·½¬ Þí Ù»²»®¿´ Ý±³³»®½·¿´ Ü·¬®·½¬Óì Ý»²¬®¿´ Ù»²»®¿´ ×²¼«¬®·¿´ Ü·¬®·½¬ Ü¿¬»æ èñïñïï ÎíÓ Ó»¼·«³ Ü»²·¬§ Î»·¼»²½» Ü·¬®·½¬ Þì Þ«·²» Ø·¹¸©¿§ Ü·¬®·½¬ß ß¹®·½«´³¬«®¿´ Ü·¬®·½¬ Îì Ý»²¬®¿´ Î»·¼»²½» Ü·¬®·½¬ Í½¿´»æ ïþã íððù Þë Ý»²¬®¿´ Þ««·²» Ü·¬®·½¬ Ó Ó·²·²¹ Ü·¬®·½¬ Ñï Ñºº·½» ñ Î»·¼»²½» Ü·¬®·½¬ Þê Ý»²¬®¿´ Í»®ª·½» Ü·¬®·½¬ Ý Ý±²»®ª¿²½§ Ü·¬®·½¬ Ó¿° Ý±±®¼·²¿¬»æ Öóïè Ñî Ý»²¬®¿´ Ñºº·½» ñ Î»·¼»½» Ü·¬®·½¬ ÞÌ Þ«·²» Ì»½¸²±´±¹§ Ü·¬®·½¬ ÔÑÝßÌ×ÑÒ ñ ÆÑÒ×ÒÙ ÓßÐ Ý×ÌÇ ÑÚ ÖßÒÛÍÊ×ÔÔÛ ßÒÒÛÈßÌ×ÑÒñÆÑÒ×ÒÙ ÓßÐ ï ÐÔßÒÒ×ÒÙ ÍÛÎÊ×ÝÛÍ îððê ÒÑÎÌØ ÝÑËÒÌÇ ÎÑßÜ Û ÍæÐ®±¶»½¬ÄÐ´¿²²·²¹ÄÝ¿»ÄÝ¿»óîðïïÄÖóïèÁß²²»¨óîððê Ò Ý¬§ Î¼ Û Community Development Department Memorandum Date: September 21, 2011 TO: Janesville City Council FROM: Duane Cherek, Manager of Planning Services SUBJECT: Informational Presentation on the design plans for the 9/11 Memorial improvement at Firehouse Park. In accordance with Administrative Policy #7 (Construction Projects) the Administration would like to present the design plans for a 9/11 Memorial improvement at Firehouse Park and answer any questions. Dave Sheen, on behalf of Janesville Fireman’s Charities, plans to install a 9/11 Memorial improvement at Firehouse Park in downtown Janesville. The memorial design includes a 12 foot tall concrete pillar representative of the World Trade Center Towers (WTC) that will incorporate an actual 6-foot long steel beam obtained from the tower site. The memorial is proposed to be placed near the circular flag pole area in the park with steel beam projecting out, in a horizontal fashion, toward Main Street. Firehouse Park is a small riverfront park located between private buildings in the 100 block of North Main Street. The park measure 100 feet deep by 72 feet wide and provides access to the walkway along the river. In 2006, the Janesville Firefighters Local 580 received City Council approval to rename, renovate and provide ongoing maintenance to this park. In recent years, the firefighters have made a number of physical improvements to Firehouse Park. The proposed memorial will include a pre-cast concrete pillar located in the lawn area just outside the circular walkway surrounding the American flagpole (See Exhibit A). The steel beam will be attached to the pillar at a height of 11 feet above ground and extend out horizontally from the concrete pillar in the direction of N. Main Street. The beam is set horizontally to replicate it’s structural orientation within the WTC and points east toward New York City in the direction of the 9/11 event. Exhibit B illustrates the proposed location of the monument pillar in Firehouse Park. For visibility purposes, one small park tree will need to be relocated off-site to another public property. Construction of the monument is proposed for later this fall. All costs associated with installation of the monument will be funded through the Janesville Firefighters Charities. As submitted, the design plan for the 9/11 Memorial should not impede the open view of the park and Rock River from North Main Street. Mr. Sheen indicates lighting for the monument is proposed to enhance night visibility of the structure. A plaque is also intended to be affixed to the monument with an th inscription describing the significance of the memorial. On September 6, the Janesville Plan Commission reviewed this proposal and found it to be consistent with the renovation and enhancement plans for Firehouse Park.

NO. 2011-834) Summary The attached Sidewalk Resolution No. 2011-834 includes the proposed 2012 sidewalk program based on the priority rating system approved by Council at the October 11, 2010 meeting. The Resolution affects approximately 200 property owners and includes 5.1 miles of new sidewalk to be constructed within zones 1 & 2 of the Pedestrian Transportation Corridor Plan in 2012. This is the second year of a seven (7) year program. Last year, 4.7 miles of new sidewalk was constructed in zones 3 & 4 of the City affecting approximately 120 property owners with the majority being commercial properties. By adopting this Sidewalk Resolution, the City is declaring its intent to order installation of sidewalk and to charge the abutting properties benefiting by these improvements. All affected property owners received a notification of the public hearing scheduled for September 26. Recommendation Following the public hearing, the Engineering Division recommends Council adopt Sidewalk Resolution No. 2011-834 to install approximately 5.1 miles of sidewalk in 2012. Assistant City Manager Recommendation The proposed 2012 sidewalk program implements prior direction of the City Council to construct sidewalks on the Pedestrian Transportation Corridor Plan (PTCP) over seven (7) years. This represents the second year in the implementation of this strategy and the proposed program is a logical extension of pedestrian connections. Suggested Motion I move to adopt Sidewalk Resolution No. 2011-834.

Each of the subsequent installments shall be entered in each of the annual tax rolls thereafter until all are collected. Deferred payment on the aforementioned installments shall bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum.

Ringold Street, 627 Rockport Road, and 266 Riverside Drive. (File Resolution No. 2011-835) Summary Each year, Rock County initiates foreclosure actions on properties which are delinquent on their property taxes. Under this program, the City has a first right to purchase the properties before public auction. This year, 8 residential homes and 4 vacant lots were foreclosed upon. Under State Statutes, the City may acquire tax foreclosed properties for a price equal to the delinquent taxes, special assessments and charges, interest, and closing costs. Staff is recommending the Council authorize acquisition of 5 residential homes located within the Community Development Block Grant Focus area. Acquiring these properties for demolition and/or rehabilitation purposes is consistent with City plans and recent City efforts to stabilize neighborhoods. Note issue funding is available for neighborhood property acquisitions. Department Recommendation Staff is recommending that the City Council support a motion to approve Resolution 2011-835 authorizing the purchase of the real property located at 324 West Racine Street, 320 Cherry Street, 459 S. Ringold Street, 627 Rockport Road, and 266 Riverside Drive for a combined purchase price of $49,598.14 under the Rock County Tax Foreclosure Program for the purpose of neighborhood improvement. Funding is available from the 2010 note issue for this purpose. Staff has not been able to conduct an interior inspection of these properties. Therefore, following acquisition the properties would be evaluated for potential rehabilitation and, depending upon the outcome, one of the following:  demolished at an estimated total cost of $37,500  considered for rehabilitation funding  donated to a non-profit, which would require subsequent City Council review. 1 Since December of 2008, the City has increased neighborhood revitalization efforts, including housing rehabilitation/stabilization programs, the removal of blighted properties, increased pro-active and responsive property maintenance, and the continued support of home-ownership and private housing rehabilitation programs. During this time, a total of 26 properties have been purchased by the th City, predominantly in the 4 Ward and Look West Neighborhoods.  One (1) property was rehabilitated and resold under the City’s Buy, Rehab and Resell Program.  Three (3) homes have been rehabilitated and listed for sale in late August.  Five (5) homes are currently being rehabilitated.  Fourteen (14) properties have been demolished  The remaining three (3) properties are awaiting demolition/rehabilitation. The proposed acquisition is intended to continue these neighborhood revitalization efforts. Assistant City Manager Recommendation I concur with the staff recommendation. The tax foreclosure process represents an opportunity to acquire blighted properties at a very reasonable cost. Properties where rehabilitation is an economically viable alternative will be preserved while other properties will be demolished for blight elimination purposes. Through these efforts the core of our central city neighborhoods is strengthened and preserved. Suggested Motion I move to approve file resolution 2011-835 authorizing the City Manager to purchase properties located at: 324 West Racine Street, 320 Cherry Street, 459 S. Ringold Street, 627 Rockport Road, and 266 Riverside Drive as part of the City’s neighborhood improvement efforts. Background Rock County foreclosed on the identified properties on September 12, 2011. The County’s Finance Committee made a decision to foreclose on these properties due to delinquent property taxes, special assessments and charges. The delinquency on these properties began in 2007. The property owners were provided an opportunity to avoid the foreclosure by paying 2007 taxes by August 5, 2011, or all past due taxes by September 9, 2011. All mortgage holders were notified by the County as required by State Statute. The County foreclosed upon the properties September 12, 2011. Any properties not acquired by the City will be offered at Sherriff’s sale on October 7, 2011. Because the City has an interest in the properties through unpaid City taxes and special assessments, the City has a first right to acquire the properties before Rock County sells the properties at a public auction. The purchase price is set by 2 the County at an amount equal to the delinquent taxes, special assessments and charges, and interest plus closing costs.

The property located at 627 Rockport Road is a single family residential property that was built in approximately 1929 and is zoned R2-Limited General Residence District. It is a contributing structure in the Old Fourth Ward Historic District. The 1,434 square foot home has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. In addition, there is a 400 sf detached garage. The property is listed on assessor’s records as being in good condition. Delinquent taxes, specials, interest and closing costs total $13,227.36, with $2,957.28 returned to the City for delinquent special assessments. There is no record of property maintenance violations at this property. The property located at 266 Riverside Street is a single family residential property that was built in approximately 1900 and is zoned R2-Limited General Residence District. It is a contributing structure in the Old Fourth Ward Historic District. The 742 square foot home has 1 bedroom and 1 bath. The property is listed on assessor’s records as being in average condition. Delinquent taxes, specials, interest and closing costs total $8,249.71, with $1,411.97 returned to the City for delinquent special assessments. The home was vacated by Neighborhood Services in 07/09 and 07/10 for no utilities, interior structure sanitation and roof failure. Analysis A. The project is consistent with the City of Janesville Look West and Old Fourth Ward Neighborhood Revitalization Plans, as well as the City of Janesville Comprehensive Plan. These plans call for the revitalization of neighborhoods that have experienced decline, which includes both the Historic Fourth Ward and Look West Neighborhoods. The plans also direct the City to acquire vacant, dilapidated, and tax-delinquent properties for rehabilitation and resale to increase owner-occupancy in target neighborhood areas. Furthermore, the Comprehensive Plan advocates stabilizing and promoting continued investment in existing neighborhoods. B. State Statutes require that the Plan Commission review any proposed acquisition of land to determine if it is consistent with established City plans. The Plan Commission reviewed this acquisition on September 19, 2011, and unanimously agreed to forward this item to the City Council with a favorable recommendation noting the Plan Commission has not reviewed the financial aspects of this transaction. 4 C. Other advantages to acquiring this property at this time include: low acquisition cost, the elimination of poor quality housing or the renovation of a single-family housing to increase the quality of housing within the Community Development Block Grant target area (4 of 5 are located th within the 4 Ward Neighborhood), and the opportunity to increase home- ownership in this area. D. The greatest potential disadvantage or risk to acquiring this property through this program is the inability to complete a full property inspection prior to purchase. This prevents us from saying with certainty whether a property would best be demolished or rehabilitated.
