_____________________________________________________________________
The City has received a petition to annex approximately 81 acres of land located at
4021 U.S. Highway 51 South. The annexation area is located south of State Highway
11and east of U.S. Highway 51 and the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport. The
petition was submitted by Arthur T. Donaldson, owner of the subject property. The
property is currently in farmland use. The City has a contract to purchase the property
from Mr. Donaldson for industrial development upon annexation. The adjoining land to
the north, already within the City limits, is included within TIF District 35. It is the City’s
intention to amend the TIF District 35 boundary to include the annexation area within it.
The annexation area is situated within the City’s urban service limits thus allowing for
municipal sewer and water utilities to be extended to the site.
Coincident with the annexation ordinance, the Community Development Department
has prepared an ordinance to zone the property to M1, Light Industrial District.
The Community Development Department recommends that following the first reading
of Ordinance No. 2012-506 annexing the land and Ordinance No. 2012-507 zoning the
area, they be set for public hearing on 13 February 2012. While the annexation does
not require Plan Commission review, the zoning of the property must be referred to the
Plan Commission. We therefore recommend that Ordinance No. 2012-507 be referred
to the Plan Commission for review and recommendation.
