Box 7854 Madison, WI 53707-7854 Dear Chairperson Strand and Secretary Stubley, I am writing today to share Kenosha County’s expressed interest in 5-AFR-800, which establishes the “Application Filing Requirements for Energy Storage Projects” given the potential for such proposals to come forward in our communities. As County Executive for Kenosha County, I became aware of the Public Service Commission’s (PSC) review of the proposed filing requirements in March. My office reached out on March 18 to PSC staff to learn more about the process and comment period. Ms. Ali Renk was kind enough to respond the same day. Unfortunately, the comment period had closed, and review of the comments had begun. I understand that the Order approving 5-AFR-800 was signed on April 7. These filing requirements are of interest to us as Kenosha County is uniquely positioned between Milwaukee and Chicago, is home to several solar projects, and is in close proximity to the Microsoft data center project in Racine County. Further, we are the location of at least two potential BESS projects moving forward, one in the town of Wheatland and another in Pleasant Prairie (active PSC Docket 9838- CE-100). Given the County’s extensive work to develop and implement its Kenosha County Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Ordinance – which was the first of its kind in the state of Wisconsin – it was my hope this Ordinance could have been taken into consideration as part of the Commission’s development of the BESS application standards. While the Commission is no longer considering public comment or modifications to 5-AFR-800, I would still like to share the County’s BESS Ordinance with you in the event it may be helpful to the Commissioners and Commission staff when reviewing such applications. County residents have voiced many concerns regarding battery storage systems being sited in their communities given the scale of potential projects and evolving technology. The County’s BESS Ordinance is a way for the County to provide our residents with assurance that vital health and safety impacts of BESS are addressed, while also working within the context of the State’s oversight of large- scale solar projects. I hope you will find the Ordinance a helpful tool. Please feel free to share it with the other Commissioners or Commission staff. Also, I would be happy to discuss the ordinance with you, the other Commissioners, or anyone at PSC that may have questions or would like to learn more about our experience in adopting and implementing our local BESS guidelines. Thank you for your time, and for all your service to the State of Wisconsin. Sincerely, 27/83 SOMERS FIRE & RESCUE P.O. Box 197 CHIEF Somers, WI 53171 Benjamin Andersen (262-859-2277) Village Board I Ben Andersen in my roles as Fire Chief and Emergency Manager for the Village of Somers would like to recognize the members of the Somers Fire Rescue Department and Somers Public Works Department that responded to the Tornado on 4/14/26.

BACKGROUND: In May of 2021 the Village was notified through a local officials’ meeting that the DOT was planning to refurbish Sheridan Road from Alford Drive (City of Kenosha) to 21st Street (City of Racine). During and after this meeting, President Stoner expressed concerns to the DOT over the project. On September 7th, 2021, representatives from the DOT attended a Village Work Session to introduce the project to the Board and to answer questions. At that time, the Board expressed its concerns over moving from 4 lanes to 2, adding bike lanes and adding sidewalks. Three years ago, the Village passed Resolution 2023-018, stating that the Village Board’s opposition to the changing the number of lanes part of the Department of Transportation’s proposed resurfacing project on Sheridan Road (STH 32): Alford Park Drive to 21st Street in Kenosha/Racine Counties, Project ID: 3240-00-03/73. The Board has worked cooperatively with Kenosha County to lower the spend on the roadway conduct speed studies and add additional patrols to the area to improve safety on the roadway as it continues its opposition to the change of lane configuration. UPDATE: Kenosha County Board of Supervisors passed a Resolution in supports maintaining Sheridan Road as currently configured. 29/83 At the request of the Village President, a similar resolution is presented to you with one paragraph crossed out. PRIOR ACTION TAKEN: This item was presented to the Board at its April 21 Work Session. SUGGESTED ACTION/ACTION REQUESTED/COMMENTS: In the event that the Village Board agrees with the suggested action, a suggested motion to approve would be as follows: “Motion to approve Resolution 2026-012, a resolution in support of maintaining Sheridan Road as currently configured, with four lanes of traffic.” ATTACHMENTS: Kenosha County Resolution 2023-018 Village Board Resolution Proposed Resolution 2026-012 30/83 KENOSHA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS RESOLUTION NO. Subject: Resolution in Support with the Village of Somers for the Maintaining of Sheridan Road as Configured Original ☐ Corrected X 2nd Correction ☐ Resubmitted ☐ Date Submitted: 2/26/2026 Date Resubmitted: Submitted by: Supervisor Geertsen and Supervisor Grady Fiscal Note Attached: ☐ Legal Note Attached: ☐ No Fiscal Impact: ☐ Prepared by: Supervisor Geertsen and Supervisor Grady WHEREAS, planning is underway for a project to reconstruct Sheridan Road; and WHEREAS, this reconstruction would impact Sheridan Road between Alford Drive in Kenosha and 21st Street in Racine; and WHEREAS, officials from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) met with officials from the Village of Somers to present alternative plans for the reconstruction; and WHEREAS, three options were presented: Option 1, which would replace the road as currently configured; Option 2, which would reduce four travel lanes to two, with a center left turn lane; and Option 3, which would reduce four lanes to two with a center turn lane and a sidewalk on the east side; and WHEREAS, the Village of Somers indicated their concerns regarding Options 2 and 3, including that the addition of proposed on-road bike lanes would cause additional safety concerns and the reduction of lanes would negatively impact safety, and expressed their belief that any increased incidents of accidents on that roadway were not due to road design issues but were the result of other causes which would be unaddressed by the proposed changes to the road design; and WHEREAS, accordingly, the Village of Somers supports maintaining Sheridan Road as currently configured, with four lanes of traffic, otherwise identified as Option 1; and WHEREAS, the Village of Somers requests that the Kenosha County Board of Supervisors likewise support Option 1; and WHEREAS, the Village of Somers has demonstrated its commitment to enhanced traffic safety on both STH 31 and STH 32 by implementing: a) a permanently increased number of hours of traffic safety patrol b) permanently installed ‘moving radar’ units into all squad car units to accurately enforce speed limits c) selectively expended overtime funds to monitor/enforce traffic laws 31/83 d) conducted quarterly traffic evaluation enforcement meetings involving Village of Somers: president, fire chief, trustee(s), concerned citizens. Also in attendance Kenosha county: sheriff, deputies, director of highways, public works committee chairman, county supervisor(s), and WHEREAS, the above referenced paragraph is not a short-term remedy but rather serves as a template for enhanced traffic enforcement that is to be budgeted in the upcoming fiscal cycle; and WHEREAS, with the 35-mph speed reduction signage provided by the Wisconsin DOT, and local traffic enforcement, vehicular traffic speed has had a notable reduction. These observations are both anecdotal and have been recorded by the DOT in a series of traffic speed studies; and WHEREAS, the number/severity of vehicular crashes on STH 32, within the speed reduction area have been notably reduced as reported by Kenosha Sherif Office (KSO); see Attachment A; and, WHEREAS, Kenosha County has in the past (and currently) a long-standing commitment to alternative forms of transportation in the form of both shared and dedicated travel lanes for pedestrians/bicyclists. NOTE: There exists a dedicated paved bike/pedestrian trail approximately 0.4 mi. west of the STH 32 study area. It parallels STH 32 and continues into Racine county; and WHEREAS, Kenosha County highway department has a longstanding policy of providing an additional paved area adjacent to new/existing roadways when being constructed. This additional paving is most often done on both sides of the road adjacent to the gravel shoulder and is intended to give additional separation between motorists and pedestrians/bicyclists; and WHEREAS, the City of Kenosha has been awarded a 5.5-million-dollar R.A.I.S.E. grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to further develop and expand upon the existing bicycle/pedestrian trail network, thus displaying continuing commitment to multi-modal transportation; and WHEREAS, Kenosha and Racine counties are noting substantial population growth, motor vehicle traffic is on the rise and will only continue to increase. Businesses and commuters depend on this road as a main thoroughfare. Reducing vehicular travel lanes at this time, on this road appears to many as counterintuitive. The thoughts and intents of the DOT are well reasoned and intentioned. There is an understanding in Kenosha County of what DOT is trying to accomplish, namely safer roadways. By paying attention to the aforementioned safety needs and balancing them with need for a vital four travel lane road, we respectfully submit the following for your approval, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Kenosha County Board of Supervisors supports maintaining Sheridan Road as currently configured, with four lanes of traffic, otherwise identified as Option 1; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution shall be forwarded to Kenosha County's state legislative delegation, Racine County Board, Racine City Council, Village of Mount Pleasant, City of Kenosha, Village of Pleasant Prairie, Village of Somers, Wisconsin Department of Transportation. ———————————————————. ————————————————— David Geertsen William Grady 32/83 33/83 6 Crashes Crash totals fluctuated from 2021-2024, peaking in 2024 with 62 crashes.
