New process for Conditional Use applications with respect to the new State Law. Mr. Smith informed the Plan Commissioners that the State of Wisconsin recently amended State Statute fundamentally changing the procedures required for Conditional Uses. These changes will require us to make changes to our Ordinances, which will take time to complete. In essence the law requires us to treat Conditional Use processes as quasi-judicial proceedings (i.e. the Plan Commission are the judges) and follow procedures more often found in a court room than in a legislative body like the Plan Commission. Special adherence to due process, and rules of evidence come into play where the Plan Commission makes a ruling based upon the facts presented at the Public Hearings. The new standard is that the Petitioner has a right to a CU if they prove they meet the requirements found in the Ordinance and those reasonably required by the Plan Commission. The Plan Commission may add requirements, but the standards are much higher and must be closely based on the facts and evidence presented vs. previously where the requirements could be based upon feelings of legislative intent. The new law also makes a much higher burden on the public to intervene on a project. The Plan Commission must disregard testimony given without evidence to support its conclusions by the public. i.e., I don t like it, it s too much traffic. This statement is an opinion, with no evidence to support it. It may be true and speaks to their personal feelings of impact, but they provided no data to show that it was true, therefore the Plan Commission must disregard it like a Court would reject an opinion. Prior to this under legislative powers the Plan Commission could take those types of concerns and respond to them, but in a quasi-judicial process its based upon data and facts and the ability to justify the concern. Nothing stops the residents from expressing their opinion, but the Plan Commission in essence can t do anything about it. It may be one of the most unfortunate/disingenuous parts of the new State law as invites the public to be more involved, but denudes their ability to have actual impact. Mr. Smith discussed the new Conditional Use Permit process with the Commissioners (copy attached). Introduction of a Conditional Use, Plan of Operation and site plan for Skidmore MFG, LLC (W240N6689 Maple Avenue). Mrs. Fluet reviewed the Plan Staff Memo (copy attached). This site is zoned B-3. The processing and assembling of final products is a conditional use in accordance with Section (A)(9)(e) in the B-3 Highway Business District. Skidmore MFG, LLC will lease the 1,500 square foot building to process and assembly parts and complete orders placed by customers. It was the consensus of the Commissioners that this matter be scheduled for a public hearing for the April Plan Commission meeting. Consideration and possible action on a Resolution to amend the 2020 Comprehensive Plan to update it to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

4 In May of 2017 the Plan Commission and Village Board directed staff to form a committee to update the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan committee was formed with a diverse background with representatives from every corner of the Village and the business community. Eight meetings were held over the last nine months to develop the plan. The Plan draws heavily from the work done in 2014 and 2015 with citizen focus groups and 10 neighborhood meetings throughout the Village to design the 2025 Strategic Plan for the Village. At the March 13, 2018 meeting the committee recommended approval of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to the Plan Commission and Village Board. Mr. Smith gave a presentation (copy attached) on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Pausing the presentation, Mr. Goetz stated that he needed to attend another Committee meeting. A motion by Goetz, seconded by Johnson to name Steve Pellechia Chairperson for remainder of meeting. Motion carried 7-0. Mr. Smith resumed his presentation. Following the presentation, it was the consensus of the Commissioners that this matter be scheduled for a joint public hearing on May 8 th.

Petitioner applies for Conditional Use Permit and staff verifies that it is likely to meet the minimum threshold requirements of the Ordinance for consideration, if so it is set for introduction. Step 3: Staff introduces the Conditional Use Permit. The Plan of Operation and any plans are provided to the Plan Commission.

The Chair will explain the rules of the hearing, including standards of evidence and burden of proof. The Plan Commission may not consider information presented by the Petitioner or public that is an opinion and not based upon some type of evidence. The hearing will start with the Petitioner presenting their project and demonstrating compliance with the Ordinance and standards of the Village. The Plan Commission will participate in asking questions/statements of the Petitioner. The Petitioner will answer those questions or defer to the next hearing as may be necessary. The Public will have a chance to present evidence and ask questions. The Plan Commission may ask follow up questions of the public and/or may ask the Petitioner to answer the question. The Chair may depending upon the length of questions or number of public wishing to give testimony allow a series of the public to go before the Petitioner is directed to respond in order to maintain the pace of the hearing. Everyone from the public should be afforded a chance to speak once, before someone speaks twice to allow full access to the hearing. The Petitioner will answer those questions or defer to the next hearing as may be necessary. The Plan Commission will once again be able to ask questions and discuss the project. The Plan Commission will give the following direction to the petitioner and to the public: A. The remaining questions/standards that need to be proved/responded to. B. Additional conditions to include in the CU Order that the Plan Commission deems appropriate. The Petitioner will need to prove they can meet those at the next hearing. C. Direction to staff to prepare the Conditional Use Order or a finding the Petitioner does not meet the standards for approval for consideration at the next meeting. The Plan Commission may also delay either of these directions to hear more evidence at the next meeting, although such delay will result in a third meeting for due process.

11 The purpose of the hearing is to gather the record, for the Petitioner to prove with evidence they meet the standards of the code or the public to prove they don t and to address concerns from the public and or Plan Commission and to determine what remains to be discussed at the next meeting. Step 5: The Plan Commission adjourns the hearing until the next month and gives the date and time of the hearing. No additional notice is necessary. Step 6: The Plan Commission opens the hearing and states the rules of the hearing: Plan Commission allows the Petitioner to present evidence in support of any items from A. and B. above and to address any items with respect to the Conditional Use Order or Findings of Denial. The Plan Commission may question the Petitioner on these items. The Public is allowed to present evidence in support/opposition to what the Petitioner has presented, and or from items A. and B. above and to address any items with respect to the Conditional Use Order or Findings of Denial. The Plan Commission may question the Petitioner on these items. The Plan Commission determines if additional evidence is needed and if so adjourns the hearing again or closes the hearing. Step 7: The Plan Commission during its regular meeting or at a subsequent meeting where the agenda item is duly noticed discusses the plans and Conditional Use Order or Findings of Denial and acts on the agenda item(s). It is essential that the decision is based upon the record captured during the hearing and is evidence based. The burden of proof is on the Petitioner to prove they have met the standards of the Ordinance and those set forth by the Plan Commission during the process.

16 Cultural and Natural Resources History, parks, trails and natural resources For this chapter we had the committee give us their views of Main Street 20 years from now, they took a survey ranking importance of sidewalks and trails, they pledged funds to amenities they would like in an existing park or future park and Judy Neu explained the natural resource areas within the Village and lands yet to come into the Village. From these different exercises staff took this information and identified goals and objectives for this chapter: Utilize the design guidelines to promote architecturally significant design For a system of sidewalks, parkways, or trails that link neighborhood to each other and to and through recreational amenities, public open spaces, and the Downtown to support a walkable community Find creative ways to seek involvement and investment from the business community to improve and maintain public amenities Maintain the tree preservation ordinance
