Unfinished Business
A. Public Hearing for Galway Companies on Request for Approval of a Precise
Implementation Plan (PIP) for Phase I for the site located between 5600 Gisholt Dr. and
1709 W. Broadway, for a Mixed-Use Development. (Case No. 2-006-2026)
Mr. Steve Doran shared the Precise Implementation Plan (PIP) for the development. The team
addressed building color, landscaping, sidewalks and the other changes made since the last
hearing. Mr. Peter Harmatuck further went into depth regarding the color, and architectural
changes made based on Commission feedback. Mr. Randy Kolinske discussed sidewalk width
changes, asphalt, and water service location changes. There were no further appearances and
the public hearing was declared closed.
B. Consideration of Action for Galway Companies on Request for Approval of a Precise
Implementation Plan (PIP) for Phase I for the site located between 5600 Gisholt Dr. and
1709 W. Broadway, for a Mixed-Use Development. (Case No. 2-006-2026)
Planning Director Plowman presented the staff report for a 357-unit mixed-use development,
which is Phase I of a 2-phase development. The Plan Commission reviewed the General
Development Plan (GDP) at their April 27, 2026 meeting, and the City Council unanimously
approved the GDP at their May 18, 2026 meeting. The commercial square footage of the
development appeared to decrease from the previous proposal, but that was due to an error on
the GDP materials. The parcel is zoned Community Design District (CDD). Based on the amount
of parking stalls planned, over 9,000 points of landscaping would be required, while there are
only 3,356 points included. Staff recommendation is approval with Findings of Fact and
Conditions of Approval as listed in the staff report.

Ms. Fox joined the meeting at 6:29 pm.
Mr. Stein approved of the building color changes made, and stressed that the chain link fence
around the pickleball courts should be black vinyl coated. He discussed the dumpster enclosure,
pickleball court grading, and parking lot lighting. He praised the landscaping, but discussed
changes he would like to see made.
Ms. Fallat liked the colors, and discussed sidewalk width. She asked for further detail regarding
the dumpster enclosure. She asked for clarifications regarding where dogs are allowed on the
site, bike rack locations, the patio area, and loading areas.
Mr. Chapman had no additional comments at this time.
Mr. Homburg asked if the project team had any concerns they wanted to share. The team had
nothing major but mentioned details about how the private infrastructure intertwines with public
infrastructure could be clarified, as well as some site geometry, and stormwater clarifications
needed. Mr. Homburg asked for clarifications about whether the team is using storm trap devices
or ADS underground storage chambers. He discussed the pavement grade and stormwater
management with the team. He wished for more tree canopy near the pickleball courts. He
asked for more detailed drawings about how the dumpster enclosure will look. He highlighted
delivery areas and signage with the applicant. He discussed landscaping points, brick façade
notes, clarifications about a green roof, and the west patio and dog run lighting. He clarified with
Mr. Doran: since the larger amount of commercial square footage listed in the approved GDP
was a calculation error, the team will need to make up that square footage in Phase II of the
project, or come back to Commission for a GDP modification. Mr. Doran understood and agreed.
Ms. Fox liked the amenities and improved design, and did not have any additional comments.
The Commission further discussed landscaping, canopy trees, and parking requirements. Mr.
Chapman discussed the project falling short of the landscaping and green space requirements,
and that some parking space should be given to green space instead. The Commission
discussed modifications to the Findings of Fact.
A motion was made by Mr. Homburg, seconded by Ms. Fallat, to recommend City
Council approval of a Precise Implementation Plan for Phase I of the West Broadway
General Development Plan, for two mixed-use buildings including a total of 357 market
rate apartments and ground-floor commercial space, as proposed, and according to
Chapter 480 of the Monona Municipal Code of Ordinances with the following findings of
fact and conditions of approval:
Findings of Fact:
1. The Phase I Precise Implementation Plan submitted for approval, for a 357-Unit
Mixed-Use Apartment Building, is deemed to conform substantially to the General
Development Plan for the West Broadway GDP as recommended for approval by the
Plan Commission on April 27, 2026.

PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT MEETING DATE: JUNE 22, 2026
CITY OF MONONA AGENDA ITEM 7A & 7B
CASE NO. 2-011-2026
Project: Public Hearing and Consideration of Action on Request by Northpointe
Development Corp for Consideration of a new 2-Lot Certified Survey Map
(CSM) for the Purpose of Constructing an Age Restricted Residential
Building with Freestanding Commercial
Project Address: 1208 and 1212 E. Broadway
Applicants: Sean O’Brien, Northpointe Development Corp (Applicant)
David Gullickson, Vierbicher (Applicant’s Surveyor)
Proposal Summary:
Mr. O’Brien, of Northpointe Development Corp has submitted a proposed CSM for the properties at
1208 and 1212 E. Broadway. The proposal would reconfigure the existing lots and facilitate the
proposed future development on the site. The proposed CSM would modify the boundary line
between Lots 3 and 4 of CSM 15061. The move would shift the northern lot line of existing Lot 3
approximately 40’ to the north. This shift would allow all the parking associated with the future age
restricted residential building to be located on the lot, making for clearer lot delineation. This was
conditioned in both the GDP and PIP approvals for the project (included in the meeting packet for
reference). Please review the attached application from Mr. Zampardi and Mr. Gullickson for more
detail on the request.
Applicable Regulations, Policy, or Practice:
According to Chapter 473-4(b) of the Monona Code of Ordinances, “Land Divisions,” any person
desiring to accomplish land division (or consolidation) by certified survey map shall file with the Plan
Commission a certified survey map as defined in Sec. 236.34, Wis. Stats. A recommendation by the
Public Works Committee is also required. The Public Works Committee reviewed this at their June 3
meeting and unanimously approved the plans. Formal consideration by the City Council is scheduled
for June 15, 2026 and will request conditional approval pending Plan Commission action given
meeting sequencing and construction timelines.
The CSM process may be used for 4 or less lots. If there are more lots being created, the proposal
would need to follow the more intensive preliminary and final plat process. Only 4 lots can be
created by CSM over a period of five years. The number of parcels is not changing, with just the
boundaries adjusting meaning that the CSM may proceed as proposed.
• Access to streets is required. No proposed land division shall be approved unless the
resulting lots adjoin a dedicated street at least 32 feet in width (face to face) located within a
public right-of-way at least 60 feet in width (§ 473-4(e)). Access for proposed Lot 2 is off E.
Broadway with an overall width varying from 120’ to 135’ (with two drive lanes in each
direction). Proposed Lot 1 is accessed from the 50’ wide private drive identified as Outlot 1 in
CSM 15061 (Whitehorse Pass) that connects to E. Broadway. The Applicant intends to
record an access easement across the two lots to allow for travel between the two and the
site is designed in such a way to allow for this. This easement would be in addition to the
required shared parking agreement with the Phase I building and the commercial site. Note
that the existing 24’ wide joint driveway easement benefiting part of Lot 1 of CSM 8819 is to
remain unchanged.
• Minimum lot size. There is no minimum lot size listed in the CDD zoning district. However,
the lots must be able to accommodate future development to minimum standards including
stormwater management, greenspace, parking and all other requirements per code. The
2
proposed Lot 1 (age restricted residential building) would be 1.393 acres and proposed Lot 2
(future commercial building) would be 0.325 acres.
• State Statute requires that the CSM if approved by the governing body, be recorded within
12 months from the date of the last approval of the map. (Section 236.34 - 2(b)(1))
Staff Comment:
The plans were shared with City Department Heads for review and comment.
Public Works: No feedback received.
Police Department: No feedback received.
Fire Department: No feedback received.
Other Departments: No feedback received.
Recommendation:
Plan Commission recommend that the Monona City Council approve a 2-Lot Certified Survey Map
(CSM) to adjust the lot lines between Lot 3 and Lot 4 of CSM 15061 at 1208-1212 E. Broadway, as
proposed, according to Section 473-4(b) of the Monona Municipal Code of Ordinances and Section
236.34 of the Wisconsin Statutes with the following conditions of approval:
1. City Council review and approval is required prior to the recording of the CSM.
2. Final staff approval of the CSM is required, including the edits in the review letter dated May
27, 2026 from Strand, the City’s engineering consultant as well as any additional edits
needed to the updated CSM.
3. An access easement for travel between the commercial lot and the residential lot shall be
reviewed by the City Attorney and approved by City Staff prior to recording.

Re: Broadway Senior
Certified Survey Map
Mr. Plowman:
On behalf of Northpointe Development Corp, we are submitting the enclosed materials for Land Division
approval of One 2-Lot Certified Survey Map (CSM) for the property located on Parcel Numbers 258/0710-281-
2230-2 and 258/0710-281-2240-2. The southern lot, Lot 3 of CSM 15061, is currently undeveloped and the
northern lot, Lot 4 of CSM 15061, currently has an existing building and parking. This CSM is intended to
accompany the proposed Planned Development for the project known as Broadway Senior, a senior
apartment building on Lot 3 and future commercial building on Lot 4. This CSM will adjust the adjoining
property line for this development so the drive entrance and parking are on Lot 3.
Should you require any additional information to complete your review, please contact me. Thank you for
your time reviewing our materials.
Sincerely,

PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT MEETING DATE: JUNE 22, 2026
CITY OF MONONA AGENDA ITEM 7C & 7D
CASE NO. 2-012-2026
Project: Prehearing Conference on Request by Owner Elliot Zander for
Consideration of a Zoning Permit for a New Addition to the Existing Home
in the Community Design Zoning District
Project Address: 4804 Gordon Avenue
Applicants: Elliot Zander, Property Owner
Proposal Summary:
Mr. Elliot Zander, the owner of 4804 Gordon Avenue, is proposing a 34’ x 12’ addition to the eastern
side of his single-family home. The addition is to provide additional living space to accommodate his
growing family. The parcel is zoned Community Design District (CDD) but, due to its use as a single-
family residence, staff have included the Single-Family District (SF) standards for reference and to
inform the review. The proposed addition would extend the main structure further into the rear yard
but would not encroach into any minimum SF district setback standards. Based on a zoning review
done without the use of a plat of survey, the existing single-family structure would abide by required
SF district setbacks, except on the south lot line, where it appears to be within the side yard setback.
The proposed addition does not add any additional height to the structure. A cover letter, renderings,
and site plans are included in the meeting packet for reference.
Applicable Regulations, Policy or Practice:
4804 Gordon Avenue is part of the Community Design District (CDD). The CDD is characterized by
large, predominately undeveloped tracts. It is expected that the district's development will include a
compatible mix of residential, commercial, industrial or open space uses which realize the goals of
the Comprehensive Plan. A use within the CDD should:
1. Occur only after coordinated advance site planning to retain the unique character of these
tracts and to strike an acceptable balance between natural preservation, growth and
development.
2. Whenever possible, development shall occur according to a large-scale plan rather than on a
piecemeal basis
3. Development shall preserve the maximum possible amount of open space and
environmental amenities.
4. All uses and their intensity, appearance and arrangement shall be of a visual and operational
character, which:
a. Is compatible with the physical nature of the site.
b. Would produce an attractive environment of sustained aesthetic and ecological
desirability, economic stability and functional practicality.
c. Would not create traffic or parking demand incompatible with the existing or
proposed facilities.
d. Would not seriously affect the anticipated provision of school or municipal services.
e. Serve regional and community needs for employment, open space, moderate-cost
housing, lake access and/or recreational facilities.
A zoning permit is required due to the proposed construction. For the CDD zoning district, Plan
Commission approval of zoning permits is required. Plans submitted are reviewed according to the
following ordinance sections:
1. Use, Operational, Site, and District Performance Standards - CDD Zoning District
2. Attachment 2 of the Zoning Code (Site Design Standards for Parking, Landscaping and
Lighting)
3. Erosion Control and Stormwater Runoff Control - Chapter 216
2
4. Comprehensive Plan
5. All other applicable sections of the Monona Municipal Code of Ordinances
There are no direct dimensional guidelines for the CDD as there are for the Single-Family (SF) and
Two-Family (TF) districts. Instead, proposals in the CDD are reviewed in accordance with the
relevant district performance standards and by considering surrounding uses. In the past, the
Commission has used relevant SF district standards to review requests, which are included below:
§ 480-24D Single-Family District Dimensional Guidelines:
(4) Minimum setbacks.
(a) Street yard: 40 feet
(b) Side yard: Seven feet.
(c) Rear yard: 40 feet.
(5) Maximum height: 35 feet.
(6) Maximum lot coverage: 40%.
Recommendation:
No formal action is needed at this prehearing conference. The Plan Commission should discuss the
proposed construction and evaluate its compatibility with the zoning, neighboring properties, the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, and the Comprehensive Plan.
STAFF REVIEW
Process
Plan Commission Public Hearing and Prehearing Conference Scheduled 6/22/26
A Public Hearing notice was mailed to property owners within 200’ feet of the property per code
requirements.
Zoning and Land Use
The property is located within the Community Design Zoning District (CDD). The parcel was re-
zoned via Ordinance from Single-Family to CDD in 1984. A zoning permit is required due to the new
construction that is planned. The Plan Commission reviews zoning permit applications within this
district.
In the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, the current land use map identifies the property as “Single family”
and the future land use map identifies the property as “Commercial use”. Adjacent uses include
single-family residential to the north, east, south and west. The former BMO bank branch is two
parcels to the north of this property. The Commission should discuss the future land use and how
the proposal aligns with their vision for the site as well as what the current Comprehensive Plan
update may bring.
Proposal Background
The property owner proposes the construction of a new 34’ x 12’ addition to the single-family home
at 4804 Gordon Avenue. The applicant would like feedback on the addition, with the intention to
return with updated materials shortly, including a plat of survey to verify dimensions. The
Commission may choose to clarify if they need a survey as part of their review.
Building Materials and Design
The proposal calls for a 408 sq. ft. addition to expand the primary residence.
Setbacks
The proposed addition would be located within the rear yard area on the eastern side of the lot. Per
the submitted materials, the proposed addition would not encroach into the rear yard setbacks (40’),
if held to the Single-Family district standards.
3
Building Height
Plans for the addition did not specify exact height, but it would not rise above the current single-story
building height and would not exceed the 35’ Ordinance maximum for single-family structures.
Building Size
The applicant proposes a 34’ x 12’ addition totaling 408 sq. ft.
Staff Comment
The plans were shared with City Department Heads for review and comment.
Public Works: No feedback received.
Police Department: No feedback received.
Fire Department: No feedback received.

4804 Gordon Ave
Monona, WI
May 28, 2026
To: Monona Planning Commission
Subject: Letter of Intent for Residential Addition and Setback review
Dear Members of the Committee,
I am writing to request approval for a residential addition to my home located at 4804 Gordon
Ave, Monona, Wisconsin. As part of this project, I am also requesting consideration for a set
beck review to the required side-yard setback requirement. The home currently is below the 7
foot requirement but is located in a unique zoning area of Monona.
The purpose of the proposed addition is to provide additional living space for my growing family
and improve the long-term functionality of our home. The added space will help better
accommodate our family’s current and future needs while allowing us to remain in our home and
community for years to come.
Every effort has been made to minimize the impact of this encroachment while still allowing a
practical and structurally sound addition. The requested variance is minimal in nature and will
not negatively impact neighboring properties, drainage, utilities, or access to adjacent lots.
The addition is being designed to remain consistent with the appearance and scale of nearby
homes and will comply with all other applicable building codes and permitting requirements.
Strict compliance with the setback requirement would create practical limitations for a
reasonable improvement to the property.
Attached to this request are the proposed site plans, drawings, and any additional documents
required for review.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I respectfully request approval of this addition and
setback variance request.
Sincerely,
Elliot Zander
