1 PLANNING SERVICES MEMORANDUM January 8, 2018 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: City Council Brian Schweigl, Associate Planner Final CSM C, Northwoods Holdings LLC, 2 lots along Kennedy Road. Relates to Strategic Plan Strategic Goal - Economy Approval of this final Certified Survey Map (CSM) will facilitate a 7,500 square-foot building addition at United Alloy (4100 Kennedy Road) and a new 100,000 square-foot industrial facility for United Alloy on the neighboring property at 4000 Kennedy Road. The Council previously reviewed a request for Industrial Development Revenue Bond Financing for this project at its meeting of December 11, Executive Summary Northwoods Holdings LLC requests approval of a two-lot certified survey of land located along Kennedy Road. The survey proposes to redefine the boundaries of the existing United Alloy production facility site and create an 18.8-acre industrial development site to the south. City Recommendation The City recommends approval of CSM C, subject to the following: 1. Payment of land division special assessments including $59, for storm sewer and $3, for street lighting improvements, as calculated by the City Engineer. Suggested Motion I move to approve final certified survey map C, Northwoods Holdings LLC, 2 lots along Kennedy Road, subject to the condition noted in the Planning Services Memorandum dated January 8, Background Northwoods Holdings LLC has submitted a two-lot certified survey of land located along the east side of Kennedy Road approximately a half mile to the north of USH 14 (see Map 1). The survey proposes to redefine the boundaries of the existing United Alloy production facility site (Lot 2) and create an industrial development site (Lot 1) to facilitate the development of a new 100,000 square-foot industrial facility for United Alloy. 1

2 Options Approve final CSM C by consent. Request that final CSM C be removed from the consent agenda and take separate action to deny or conditionally approve. Analysis A. The survey area is zoned M1, Light Industrial District. Both lots comply with the standards of the zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance. B. The CSM dedicates a Municipal Sign Easement near the southeast corner of proposed Lot 2 adjoining the Interstate 39/90 right-of-way. As part of the I-39/90 expansion project, current design plans allow for the installation of two Welcome to Janesville gateway signs in designated locations along the northbound and southbound approaches to the city. In accordance with Federal Highway program requirements, the City is responsible for obtaining sign easement rights associated with the gateway signs. Approval of the survey will establish the rights necessary to allow for Wisconsin Department of Transportation installation of the southbound sign on Lot 2. Access rights for maintenance and lighting purposes are provided with this conveyance. The monument-style sign will be installed likely in 2019 based on phased roadway construction scheduling. C. The survey also delineates existing easements as well as those requested by the Engineering Division or private utility companies in response to the proposed subdivision. D. Public sidewalk was previously installed along the Kennedy Road frontage of the survey area within a 20-foot wide sidewalk easement delineated by the CSM. E. The survey dedicates a 40-foot one-half right-of-way for Kennedy Road along that frontage of Lot 1, which has not previously been platted. F. The survey is subject to payment of land division assessments including $59, for storm sewer and $3, for street lighting improvements, as calculated by the City Engineer. G. Based on past practice, this survey is not subject to the parkland dedication requirements of the subdivision ordinance since the survey area includes property zoned for industrial development. H. At its meeting of January 2, 2018, the Plan Commission voted unanimously by consent to approve the final survey and forward it to the City Council with a favorable recommendation, subject to the condition noted in this memorandum. Conclusions Approval of this final CSM will facilitate a 7,500 square-foot building addition at United Alloy (4100 Kennedy Road) and a new 100,000 square-foot industrial facility for United Alloy on the neighboring property at 4000 Kennedy Road. Restated City Recommendation The City recommends approval of CSM C, subject to the following: 1. Payment of land division special assessments including $59, for storm sewer and $3, for street lighting improvements, as calculated by the City Engineer. 2
