Motion [Arendt Vanden Heuvel, Hansch] to open the public hearing regarding proposed zoning of COM N1/4 COR SEC36 E1435FT TO NE COR CSM 2678 S521.63FT W328.62FT POB S946.54FT E130.40FT S66.08FT W587.91FT N969.01FT E35.88FT N38.26FT N86D E249.34FT E171.42FT TO POB PRT W1/2 NE SEC36 T22N R15E 10.72AC M/L, for the CSM and Rezoning a portion of parcel 240041600 and CSM 1 from (A) Agricultural to (PI) Public Institution i. Z-2-26: parcel – 240041600 The CSM is to take a portion of the parcel to include parcel 240041600, and rezone to public institution. Alex from Excel Engineering spoke on the project, explaining that the expansion would go west, leaving a fair amount of trees and landscaping, the goal is not to alter the wildlife that is already there. Close Public Hearing Motion [Retzlaff, Banker] to close the public hearing. Unanimous voice vote; motion approved. Public Hearing Motion [Hansch, Banker] to open the public hearing to amend the 2045 Comp Plan for parcel 240041600 to change the future use from Neighborhood Residential to Civic and Institutional. Unanimous voice vote; motion carried. Administrator Treadwell explained the reason for this. No discussion ensued. Close Public Hearing Motion [Hansch, Moe] to close the public hearing. Unanimous voice vote; motion carried. Public Hearing Motion [Arendt Vanden Heuvel, Retzlaff] to open public hearing to repeal and replace the current ordinance of accessory structure, as well as discussing to repeal and replace the Public Institution Zoning Code. Administrator Treadwell spoke on the changes to the ordinances. There is the potential to have larger accessory structures, which could be constrictive. Only 30% of the parcel is currently allowed for the structures. The previous code became problematic. Public Institution – allows for 150 spaces for an elementary school. Trustee Arendt Vanden Heuvel asked if we’re discussing public institution, why was it created? At some point some board said we needed this…. Administrator Treadwell responded they might have and it probably wasn’t looked at very well; we need to look at what we want to do and talk through it. Close Public Hearing Motion [Arendt Vanden Heuvel, M. Bellile] to close the public hearing. Unanimous voice vote; motion carried. Discussion and possible action regarding proposed zoning for the CSM and Rezone the following parcel(s) COM N1/4 COR SEC36 E1435FT TO NE COR CSM 2678 S521.63FT W328.62FT POB S946.54FT E130.40FT S66.08FT W587.91FT N969.01FT E35.88FT N38.26FT N86D E249.34FT E171.42FT TO POB PRT W1/2 NE SEC36 T22N R15E 10.72AC M/L, for the CSM and Rezoning a portion of parcel 240041600 and CSM 1 from (A) Agricultural to (PI) Public Institution Motion [Retzlaff,, Hansch] to recommend to the Village Board approve the CSM and Rezone for parcel 240041600. Unanimous voice vote – motion carried. Discussion and possible action to approve the CSM combining parcels 240111352, and 240111351 Owner would like to combine two lots into one. No water or sewer in the subdivision. Wayne Nollenberg 703 Wildwind Drive – If combining both, can I put an outbuilding on the lot? Administrator: if you combine both parcels, you can put an accessory building on the property. Motion [Gruenewald, Moe] to recommend to the board to combine parcels 240111352 and 240111351. Unanimous voice vote; motion carried. Discussion and possible action to amend the 2045 Comp Plan for parcel 240041600 to change the future use from Neighborhood Residential to Civic Institutional Motion [ Hansch, Arendt Vanden Heuvel] to recommend to the board to amend the 2045 Comp Plan for parcel 240041600 to change the future use form Neighborhood Residential to Civic Institutional. Unanimous voice vote; motion carried. Discussion and possible action to repeal and replace the current ordinance of accessory structure, as well as discussing to repeal and replace the Public Institution Zoning Code. This would change our zoning code of accessory structures. This would be based on the size of the lot. It’s based off of the principal structure size. The only time you can go bigger is if you’re in those larger areas. This is to help the larger lots. What’s the distinction between utility and accessory? Utility – detached garage and can still put up a 12x12 shed. Public Institution – biggest thing that changed is the parking. Just for clarification current zoning code for every 200’ to have a parking stall for elementary school. High school may need a lot more. Other ways to figure out the best need for those types of developments. Motion [Gruenewald, Arendt Vanden Heuvel] to recommend repealing and replacing the current ordinance of accessory structures, as well as repealing and replacing the Public Institution Zoning Code. Any other topics for future discussion Going through other zoning chapters as quickly as possible. Adjourn Motion [Arendt Vanden Heuvel, M. Bellile] to adjourn. Unanimous voice vote, motion carried.

(2) Bufferyard landscaping. Any commercial or industrial use that is adjacent to a residential use or zoning district shall provide a landscaped bufferyard along the full length of the affected side and/or rear yard to afford protection to the residential uses from the glare of lights, from visual encroachment, and from the transmission of noise.
