Request for Rezoning from Agriculture (A-1) to Planned Development District-General Implementation Plan (PDD-GIP), Redtail Ackers Subdivision/Bill Ranguette, 4821 CTH Q (PC 2528)
Chair Brar opened the public hearing at 7:06 p.m.
Staff distributed a letter received from the attorney for the property owner of Orchids Garden Centre at 4823 County Highway Q regarding the access easement that exists for the property. Staff also distributed a copy of the minutes of the June 20, 2018 Water Resources Management Commission meeting where this project received approval contingent upon review and approval by Dane County staff, including confirmation of the infiltration rate as submitted.
Michael Hahn, attorney representing the owner of the Orchids Garden Centre, stated that his client is not willing to vacate his access easement at this time due to concerns about economic harm. He also has concerns about stormwater management.
Stan Skolaski, 4821 County Highway Q, spoke in support of the rezoning.
Krishanu Saha, 4129 Redtail Pass, spoke in opposition to the rezoning with concerns about traffic and stormwater management.
Chair Brar closed the hearing at 7:38 p.m.
Design Review for Southern Façade of New Aggregate Storage Building – Lycon, Inc., 8125 University Ave. (PC 2540)
Attoun indicated that the applicant is working with both the Dane Arts Mural Arts and Artworking non-profit groups to address the Commission’s direction to enhance the appearance of the southern elevation of the new aggregate storage facility. She reported that the applicant is proposing to place a mural on the concrete wall facing west (toward Deming) and include an extension above the 8’ tall wall to increase the height of the mural. The applicant has stated that it will be more visible to the public in this location, and proposed a less detailed mural facing south. Opitz said staff continues to support an enhanced building façade for the south elevation because it will not always be blocked by rail cars, but he noted that shifting the focus of the artwork to the west would reduce the likelihood of people walking along the rail corridor to view the south façade.
Moved by Murray, seconded by Ramsey, to support the applicant’s proposal to focus the aesthetic treatment to the west-facing wall, with a more limited scope for aesthetic enhancements to the southern elevation.

Hubbard stated that the plan is consistent with what the Plan Commission had been expecting.
