Community Development Department Memorandum
February 27, 2012
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Brad Schmidt, AICP, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Final CSM 12002-C, City of Janesville, 3 Lot CSM along Beloit
Avenue.
SUMMARY
The City of Janesville requests approval of a 3-lot certified survey along Beloit
Avenue. The survey proposes to subdivide an existing 6.4 acre lot owned by the
City of Janesville. The subject property contains the historic Hugunin residence
acquired by the City in 2004 when surrounding lands were purchased to create
the TIF 16 industrial park. Proposed Lot 2 contains the former Hugunin
residence which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Lots 1 and
2 are undeveloped and will remain available for future industrial uses. All three
lots in the survey area are zoned M1, Light Industrial district.
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department and Plan Commission recommend
that the City Council approve Final CSM 12002-C.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager concurs with the Plan Commission recommendation.
SUGGESTION MOTION
A motion to approve Final CSM 12002-C.
ANALYSIS
A. The lots created by the survey comply with the standards of the
Subdivision Ordinance, the M1 Zoning District in which the site is located
and approved plans for the area.
B. The proposed survey area was part of the larger Hugunin Farm. The City
purchased the farm from Mrs. Hugunin to create TIF District No. 16. As
part of that deal, Mrs. Hugunin was allowed to continue living on the
farmstead for the rest of her life or until a time she choose to leave. The
farmstead includes an historic single-family residence and two accessory
buildings. The single-family residence is located on the National Register
of Historic Places. As part of this proposed survey, a conservation
easement must be recorded for the land area defined by Lot 2 which
protects the historic character of the structure.
C. In 2008, the City Council declared the Hugunin residence and property
immediately surrounding the house as surplus thus making it available for
sale. The City has obtained an accepted offer to purchase the property for
residential purposes and must create Lot 2 in order for the sale to be
completed. A note has been affixed to the survey indicating that a
conservation easement will be recorded against Lot 2 to protect the
historic character of that property.
D. The survey area is 6.4 acres in size and has been proposed to be
subdivided into 3 lots.
E. Special assessments for sidewalks were collected in 1999 when the survey
area was previously subdivided. The final survey includes the following
note, “Sidewalks are planned for the Beloit Avenue frontage of Lot 1, Lot 2
and Lot 3 and shall be installed in accordance with the City Ordinance and
policy when deemed necessary by the City.”
F. Existing utility easements and any new easements requested by the
Engineering Department and utility companies serving the area have been
delineated on the final survey.
G. Special assessments for sidewalk, street light and storm water
improvements were previously collected when the survey area was platted
in 1999.
PLAN COMMISSION ACTION – FEBRUARY 20, 2012
The Plan Commission unanimously agreed to forward CSM 12002-C to the City
Council with a favorable recommendation.
