3. Address/Parcel: 5060 Founders Terrace / HB-523-7

BACKGROUND
Bayland Buildings is proposing to construct a new 20,000 square foot commercial building to be located at 5060 Founders
Terrace (Parcel HB-523-7) along with the required associated site improvement including access and parking. The
proposed building will be single story in height and utilized as an office with shop.
SITE REVIEW DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN STANDARDS CHECKLIST
Section 1, Site Plan Approval
A. Zoning: PDD #1: Centennial Centre at Hobart District
B. Green Space: 38.8% after development
C. Setbacks: This development complies with all applicable setbacks (proposed 89’ (front/Founders Terrace),
155’ (rear), 44’ (side/north), 95’ (side/east), and 31’ (side/south along Centerline Dr.).
D. Parking: The Village’s parking ordinance does not specifically address this type of business, so the
“Business (not listed above)” requirements would be “Business (not listed above). One parking space for each
two staff members or employees, plus such additional parking space as may be required by the Planning and
Zoning Commission for customers or users”. While not quite certain on the exact number of employees
anticipated for the operations, there are 23 parking stalls. So as long as there are not more than 46 employees,
the proposed parking layout will be compliant.
E. Fire Dept. and Police Dept.: The plans are being reviewed by both Police Chief and Fire Chief with their
comments and conditions being brought to the meeting.
ISSUE: Discussion and action to consider a new 20,000 SF commercial building with associated site
improvements
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends conditional approval based on staff recommendations along with
any conditions the Committee may identify.
PAGE 10
F. Storm Water: Storm water from this development will be collected by internal catch basins throughout the
site and discharge to two new dry ponds located along the west and south sides of this development. There is
a discharge structure in each pond leading to the municipal storm sewer system which leads to a regional
storm water pond that is owned by the Village.
G. Refuse Collection: Refuse / recycling enclosure to be located towards the rear of the property (northeast
corner). Enclosure is planned to be split faced concrete block to match the primary building. Gate will be
chain-link with privacy slats.
Section 2, Architectural Plan Approval
A. Exterior Construction Information:
1. Materials: Metal frame building.
2. Exterior Materials: Mixture of aluminum composite panels, split face CMU, and concealed fastener
metal wall panels on both the west and south building elevations that face a public roadway, and semi-
concealed fastener metal wall panels on the other side and rear building elevations.
3. Height: Anticipated at 25 feet
4. Overhead doors: 1 overhead door at grade on the side/north elevation with 3 overhead doors at grade
and 4 loading dock doors on the rear/east elevation.
5. Mechanical equipment: None noted on the plans, but all such equipment shall be screened from view
with materials to match those of the principal structure or with landscaping. All exterior exhaust/intake
vents shall be colored to blend with the principal structure.
Section 3, Landscaping Plan: With roughly 330 feet along Founders Terrace and 327 feet of street frontage along
Founders Terrace, that would equate to 7 trees per road frontage. With the street intersection and ingress/egress points on
both roadways, Staff has concerns with tree locations relative to vision corridors. Additionally, Staff would recommend
that there be some foundation plantings along the west and south building elevations. Also, both dry storm water ponds
shall be landscaped and maintained to prohibit the overgrowth and unsightly tall vegetation. Therefore, Staff recommends
that developer discuss the tree species, planting locations, and foundation planting with Village Staff and submitted an
updated landscape plan that includes these items to Village Staff for review and approval prior to plantings.
Section 4, Lighting: No lighting plan is submitted at this time. Therefore, a detailed lighting plan with photometrics and
lighting details shall be submitted for review and approval at a later SRC meeting prior to installation.
Section 5, Signage:
There are 2 wall mounted signs shown on the building elevations (west and south), however, no sign
details are submitted at this time. Therefore, any proposed signage shall be required to be submitted for approval at a later
SRC meeting prior to installation.
Section 6, Driveway-Curb Cut: Access to this site will be through three new ingress/egress locations with two from
Founders Terrace (25’ driveway width and 35’ curb cut for truck access and 24’ driveway width and 34’ curb cut for
employees and visitors) and one from Centerline Dr. (25’ driveway width and 35’ curb cut).

MEMORANDUM
TO: Village Board
FROM: Aaron Kramer, Village Administrator & Todd Gerbers, Director of Planning and Code Compliance
RE: Recodification of Chapter 121 (Buildi ng Construction) of the Municipal Code
DATE: March 3, 2026
BACKGROUND
At its February 17th meeting, the Board gave its approval to do an internal recodification of the Municipal Code. The
first section of the Code to be presented is Chapter 121 (Building Construction).
SUMMARY FROM THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND CODE COMPLIANCE
Village Staff has been in contact with the Wisconsin State Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS)
over the past few months as (DSPS) continues to go through their records and confirms the status of every
municipality in the state. As a littl e background, DSPS issues all the creden tialing and licensing for the building
trades as well as realtors, medical professions, etc. They also oversee the state inspectors and plan reviewers for
the various construction trades as well as which municipalities are delegated to issue permits, perform inspections,
and even do plan review on both residenti al and commercial projects. For so me unknown reason, the Village of
Hobart no longer shows up in the state records as being delegated to perform inspections on projects of both
Uniform Dwelling Code (single and two-family residential dwellings) and Comm ercial Building Code (commercial,
industrial, and multi-family structures). Village Staff is working with DSPS to get this corrected since the Village of
Hobart has been performing such inspection services continuously since roughly 1985. Village Staff is not able to
present a copy of such original del egation acknowledgement to DSPS, so t he next best option is to submit the
necessary forms to have the Village of Hobart reinstated as a delegated municipality. DSPS would still continue to
do the plan review of the commercial projects, and the local State Inspector would still be able to join the Village of
Hobart Inspector on the various commercial projects.
The only notable change that we are required to make is to adopt Chapter SPS 327, Camping Units, as part of the
Village Codes. This would allow the Village to enforce the state code for any camping units, which may “to be placed
by a campground owner or operator in a campground for which a permit is issued under s. 97.67, Stats., and used
for seasonal overnight camping”. This only applies to licensed campgrounds, not a tent or similar structure in a
residential back yard.
At this same time, Village Staff re commends that the Village also incorporate SPS 328, Smoke Detectors and
Carbon Monoxide Detectors, which is the code that sets the minimum standards for such devices installed in one
and two-family dwellings.

each day or at the end of the workday on that site, whichever occurs earlier, and the site must be
kept clean as much as feasible during the day.
Debris in street or on sidewalk. Debris in the street or on the sidewalk that would injure a motor
vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist must be removed immediately.

accompanied by supporting data.
An appeal shall stay all enforcement activities and all legal proceedings in furtherance of the action
appealed from, unless the officer from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the Board of Appeals
that by reason of the facts stated in the certificate a stay would in the opinion of the officer, cause
