The Final Plat includes a 600-foot cul-de-sac, nine single-family residential lots, water and sanitary sewer infrastructure, stormwater management facilities, an 8-foot multi-use trail, and a parkland dedication of approximately 23.9 acres for future park and open space purposes. The Plan Commission reviewed the Final Plat pursuant to City Code §510-12, the approved Preliminary Plat, and applicable subdivision requirements. Commissioner Ruona asked if there was any concern regarding drainage along the trail. Louis Filkins of Ogden Engineering stated that Ogden Engineering conducted soil borings on-site and confirmed that drainage would be directed to the proposed stormwater management facilities. Commissioner Ruona motioned to approve Resolution XX-26 to Council for approval; Gergen seconded. Motion passed without a negative voice (5-0). Other Business City Administrator Wolf stated that following the recent approval of the ADU at 878 E. Washington Street, staff intends to review the City’s conditional uses within each zoning district and bring the item back to the Plan Commission at the June meeting. The review will focus on whether certain conditional uses remain appropriate within the intended purpose of each zoning district. Wolf noted that under Wisconsin Act 67, once a use is listed as a conditional use within a zoning district, the Plan Commission’s review of a specific application is focused on whether the applicant meets the applicable ordinance standards and whether any reasonable, measurable conditions are needed. The review is not intended to re-decide, on a case-by-case basis, whether the use category itself belongs in the zoning district. Commissioner Gergen motioned to adjourn. Ruona seconded; motion passed without a negative voice vote (7-0). The meeting was adjourned at 6:09 PM. The next Plan Commission meeting will be held on Monday, June 1st, 2026, at 6:00 PM at Prescott City Hall. Respectfully Submitted, Luke Wiese Planner
