Review and possible action relating to the minutes of the August 25, 2026, Plan Commission meeting (Ebbert, Clerk/Treasurer/Finance Director) Schultz moved, seconded by Ciccarelli, to approve the minutes of the August 25, 2026 Plan Commission meeting. The motion carried, 5-0. b. Review and possible action relating to a Site Plan Review for the property located at 815 Jefferson St. (226-0614-3432 and 226-0614-3432-004) (SPR-2026-12) (Draeger, Director of Neighborhood and Building Services) Director Draeger presented the Site Plan Review for the property located at 815 Jefferson St. Opportunities Inc. is proposing an outdoor activity area for its employees at its commercial campus on the north side of Fort Atkinson. The property was recently approved for a Certified Survey Map (CSM) combining two lots into a new 3.2-acre site with frontage on Jefferson Street, E. Cramer Street, and Clarence Street. The site currently includes two structures, on-site parking, and an east-west internal driveway connecting Jefferson Street and Clarence Street. The proposed project would be located on the southern portion of the site and include a new outdoor recreational area, off-street parking on either side, and reuse of the existing structure. Ciccarelli motioned, seconded by Schultz to recommend approval of the Site Plan, subject to the following conditions: Page 3 of 49 • Require the applicant to provide the following information that meets all the requirements of the Zoning Code to be reviewed by City staff: o Add curbing to meet the minimum requirements o Add on-site bicycle parking to meet the minimum requirements o Provide a trash enclosure plan compliant with Section 15.06.21 o Provide the location of building mechanicals and screening if necessary o Execute a Stormwater Management Agreement with the City • Waive the requirement for any loading areas to be located outside the front yard setback (the existing building on the south end of the site is not proposed to change and is currently located approximately 25 feet from the property line, creating limited space to accommodate the proposed new loading area outside that setback). • Approve the new access point from Clarence street as proposed • Require the recording of the previously approved CSM • Any other recommendations of City staff and the Plan Commission. Ciccarelli discussed the need for pedestrian path connectivity from the city sidewalk on Jefferson Street into the playground park and the building in front of the playground. He also addressed the Clarence side parking lot and the possibility of pedestrian connectivity from the parking lot to get into and out of the playground. Director Navin stated that the intended primary parking lot for the playground is the Jefferson Street lot. Ciccarelli moved, seconded by Shull to amend the motion to include the following condition of a pedestrian sidewalk and striping on the south-eastern portion of the site plan to connect the city sidewalk to the concrete sidewalk in front of the building. Motion carried, 5-0. Chairperson Manager Houseman called for a vote on the underlying motion to recommend approval of the Site Plan with the original and amended conditions. Original Motion carried, 5-0. c. Update on previously approved projects (Houseman) Chairperson Manager Houseman provided the following updates: • The Plan Commission recommended that the City Council approve an offer to purchase Lot 1 of Klement Business Park. The City Council approved the offer, and staff is currently working with the property owner on site plans prior to closing. • After receiving Plan Commission approval at various stages, e.g. zoning, site plan review, Certified Survey Maps (CSMs), and conditional use permits. All three projects, River Trail Flats, Cardinal View Crossing, and River Point Commons, have approved and executed development agreements, with construction anticipated to begin this fall.

Main Street Fort Atkinson, WI 53538 ANNEXATION REPORT TO THE PLAN COMMISSION DATE: October 13, 2026 FILE NUMBER: SPF-2026-02 PROPERTY ADDRESS: N1807 S. Main St. EXISTING ZONING: DHMU PARCEL NUMBER: 016-0514-0941-030 PROPOSED ZONING: Single-Family residential-5 OWNER: Jason Schultz EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant APPLICANT: Ryan Schultz, Opening Design REQUESTED USES: Single-family residential BACKGROUND Annexations in Wisconsin are governed by Wisconsin State Statute 66.0217, which establishes the legal procedures and requirements for incorporating territory from a town into a city or village. The statute outlines the methods of annexation, petition requirements, notice and public hearing procedures, and review by the Wisconsin Department of Administration. It also requires a determination that the annexation is in the public interest and ensures that statutory standards related to contiguity, boundary regularity, and service provision are met prior to approval. The City Council held the first reading of the proposed Annexation and a Certified Survey Map (CSM) associated with the annexation at a meeting on October 6, 2026. The assigned zoning classification will be Single-Family Residential-5 (SR-5). Sections 70.05.04 and 70.06.03 of the City of Fort Atkinson Land Division and Development Ordinance outline the requirements for the Plan Commission and City Council to review and approve the Certified Survey Map (CSM) to ensure conformance with all ordinances and plans. REQUEST OVERVIEW The subject property is currently located in the Town of Koshkonong, and the applicant is requesting annexation into the City. In conjunction with the proposed annexation, the applicant is requesting an SR-5 Single-Family Residential zoning designation. Upon approval of the annexation, the 1.28-acre parcel is proposed to be divided through a Certified Survey Map (CSM) into four individual residential lots, each meeting the minimum dimensional and area requirements of the proposed SR-5 zoning district. The proposed zoning is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, which identifies the property for Single-Family Residential future land use. The surrounding properties within the City are similarly zoned for single-family residential use, with nearby properties also designated for duplex and MRL-8 multifamily residential development. As a result, the proposed annexation and zoning would provide a logical continuation of the existing residential development pattern in the area. Page 6 of 49 City Staff is working with the applicant to coordinate the installation of sanitary sewer and water laterals to each of the proposed lots prior to completion of the S. Main St. project. Installing these utilities as part of the current project will help avoid the need to reopen the newly completed roadway in the future to provide utility connections to the individual lots. City Staff also contacted WE Energies to determine whether natural gas service could be extended to the proposed lots in conjunction with the street improvements. WE Energies declined, indicating that installation of gas services to vacant lots is not part of its current process. Gas service will instead be installed when construction of individual homes occurs. PUBLIC NOTICE Annexation by Unanimous Consent does not require a public notice. DISCUSSION Annexation The Petition for Annexation was submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Administration in accordance with applicable state statutes. Following the required review process, the proposed annexation was determined to be in the public interest. Property owner Jason Schultz is seeking annexation of the property from the Town of Koshkonong into the City to facilitate the development of a four-lot residential subdivision. Annexation would allow the property to be developed in a manner consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the established residential land uses in the surrounding area, while creating additional opportunities for residential housing within the community. The proposed annexation represents an investment in the community and provides an opportunity to facilitate new residential development in an area planned and designated for residential use. The development would expand the City’s housing opportunities while supporting the orderly and logical growth of the City. In addition, the annexation presents an opportunity for the City to coordinate the extension of municipal utilities with the ongoing S. Main Street improvements. Coordinating these infrastructure improvements will promote efficient installation of municipal utilities, minimize construction-related impacts, and reduce the potential need to disturb the completed roadway in the future. The annexation will also provide a direct financial benefit to the City through the collection of an outstanding deferred special assessment in the amount of $30,347.83, which is due upon annexation. The assessment relates to a 1996 street improvement project that included improvements to the roadway, sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer systems. Page 7 of 49 Following annexation, the proposed division of the property into four buildable residential lots will further expand the City’s tax base by adding new taxable property and, ultimately, additional residential housing units. In combination, the collection of the outstanding special assessment, coordinated infrastructure investment, and future expansion of the tax base provide tangible municipal benefits associated with the proposed annexation. Overall, the proposed annexation supports the City’s long-term planning objectives, facilitates orderly residential growth, expands housing opportunities, coordinates infrastructure improvements, and provides both immediate and future financial benefits to the City. CSM Staff find that the proposed Certified Survey Map (CSM), overall, is consistent with the City’s Land Division and Development Ordinance and is in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. A few minor mapping adjustments are required to achieve full compliance.

In determining whether an annexation is in the public interest, s. 66.0217 (6), Wis. Stats. requires the Department to examine "[t]he shape of the proposed annexation and the homogeneity of the territory with the annexing village or city…." so as, to ensure the resulting boundaries are rational and compact. The statute also requires the Department to consider whether the annexing city or village can provide needed municipal services to the territory. The subject petition is for territory that is reasonably shaped and contiguous to the CITY OF FORT ATKINSON, which is able to provide needed municipal services. Surveyor’s Note: Per s. 66.0217 (1) (c), Wis. Stats. the metes and bounds description of the territory to be annexed must commence from a monumented corner of the 1/4-section in which the territory lies. The Department reminds clerks of annexing municipalities of the requirements of s. 66.0217 (9)(a), Wis. Stats., which states: "The clerk of a city or village which has annexed shall file immediately with the secretary of administration a certified copy of the ordinance, certificate and plat, and shall send one copy to each company that provides any utility service in the area that is annexed. The clerk shall record the ordinance with the register of deeds and file a signed copy of the ordinance with the clerk of any affected school district..."

EXISTING ZONING: DHMU - Downtown Historic Mixed Use PARCEL NUMBER: 226-0514-0414-007 PROPOSED ZONING: No Change Requested OWNER: Brian Knox II EXISTING LAND USE: Office APPLICANT: WD Hoard and Sons Co. REQUESTED USES: No Change Proposed BACKGROUND The property located at 28 Milwaukee Ave. W., is a long-time business in the Downtown Historic District. W.D. Hoard has been in business for many years and is requesting to install a new awning. The Historic Preservation Commission will review the proposed awning the morning of October 13, 2026 ahead of the Plan Commission meeting. REQUEST OVERVIEW The City’s Zoning Ordinance, which was adopted in 2020, created a Special Area Design Review process for parcels located in the City’s Downtown Historic Mixed Use (DHMU) zoning district. The Special Area Design Review – Design Alteration Review is designed to forward both aesthetic and economic objectives of the City by controlling the site design and exterior appearance of development within the district in a manner which is consistent with sound land use, urban design, and economic revitalization principles. There are three categories of Special Area Design Reviews: Renovation Review, Design Alteration Review, and Project Review: A. Renovation Review applications involve only a renovation of the exterior appearance of a property, such as repainting, re-roofing, residing, or replacing with identical colors, finishes, and materials. Staff shall review, and the Plan Commission shall review and approve or deny these applications. B. Design Alteration Review applications involve a change only in the exterior appearance of a nonresidential or multi-family property, such as painting, roofing, siding, architectural component substitution, fencing, paving, or signage. Staff shall review, and the Plan Commission shall review and approve or deny these applications. C. Project Review applications involve modification to the physical configuration of a property, such as the erection of a new building, the demolition of an existing building, or the addition or removal of bulk to an existing building. Staff shall review, and the Plan Commission Page 27 of 49 shall review through the Conditional Use Permit process and make a final determination. WD Hoard is seeking permission to replace and repair awnings on the building at 28 Milwaukee Ave. E. The awning is in need of replacement. Public notice is not required for Special Area Renovation Review. DISCUSSION Section 15.07.50 & 15.10.43 requires any modifications or work done on structures in the DHMU zoning to be approved by the Plan Commission. In this instance, the code assures that aesthetic changes made to structures in this zoning are appropriate and will not negatively impact the area. The applicant is proposing to replace the awnings on the building and repair the frame. The proposed awning will be constructed of fabric and will feature the historic font associated with Hoard’s Dairyman. It will be installed in the same location as the existing awning, maintaining the established character and appearance of the building. This proposal will give the exterior of the building a new look, maintain the character of the Downtown Historic District and, therefore, is in compliance with the City Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Plan Commission approve the replacement awning at 28 Milwaukee Ave. W. ATTACHMENTS 1. WD Hoard Application_Redacted 2. WD Hoard proof 3. WD Hoard rendering 4.

REQUEST OVERVIEW Premier Bank is proposing a comprehensive update to the signage at its property located within the Downtown Historic Mixed-Use (DHMU) District. The proposal includes face replacements of one building sign, one protruding sign, one dual post sign and a new wall sign on the front of the building. The proposed signage will be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Committee (HPC) at its Page 37 of 49 October 13 meeting. The HPC's review will focus on the design, character, and appropriateness of the proposed signage within the context of the Downtown Historic Mixed-Use District. Any comments or recommendations from the Committee will be presented to the Plan Commission during its discussion of the request. No public notice is required for Sign Review DISCUSSION Premier Bank is proposing several sign face replacements and one new building sign at its Main Street location. Premier Bank is also proposing updates to the signage at its drive-up location at 100 E. Sherman Ave. However, that property is located within the Downtown Periphery Mixed Use (DPMU) zoning district and, as a result, does not require review or approval by the Historic Preservation Committee or Plan Commission. Therefore, the signage proposed for the drive-up location is not included as part of this review. The proposed signage at that location is consistent with the branding and design shown on the signs included in this application. At the Main Street location, Premier Bank is proposing four signs in total. One sign is a new building sign and will therefore receive a full review for compliance with applicable requirements, including size, depth, illumination, placement, and overall design. The remaining three signs are face replacements for existing signs. Because these proposals do not alter the existing sign structures or dimensions, the review of these signs will be limited to the proposed sign face design and its overall appropriateness within the Downtown Historic Mixed Use (DHMU) District. The dimensions and physical characteristics of the existing sign structures will not be reevaluated as part of the face replacement review. The Sign Code requirements for Wall Signs are documented below. 1 sign per exterior wall, plus 1 per customer entry Met: 1 sign per wall Maximum size = Each business is allowed a minimum of 40 sq ft of wall sign. Met: South Facade: Wall sign proposed = 36 SF Shall not extent over any roof or parapet Met: Located on the façade, no roof or parapet overhang Shall be made of durable, all-weather materials Met: Aluminum and Acrylic Shall be ambient, backlit, or gooseneck lighting Met: Internal LED lighting Shall be a minimum of 8 ft above the sidewalk Met: Not above a public sidewalk Shall project a maximum of 12 in. from the front façade face of the building Met: 2" sign depth Sign must be designed of materials harmonious with the building and site Met: sign materials and colors are harmonious with the building. Overall, the proposed wall signs are consistent with the applicable requirements of the City’s ordinances and are appropriate for the property and surrounding area. The City’s Management Page 38 of 49 Team has reviewed the application, and all comments and recommendations received as part of that review have been incorporated into this document. It should be noted that the existing dual-post sign and projecting sign are considered legal nonconforming signs. While these signs were legally established under the regulations in effect at the time they were installed, they would not meet the current sign regulations and would not be permitted as new signs today. Their existing legal nonconforming status does not, however, prevent the applicant from making permitted changes to the signage. Accordingly, the review of the proposed signage distinguishes between new signage and modifications to existing legal nonconforming signs, consistent with the City’s ordinance requirements. The proposed sign package is consistent with the Downtown Historic Mixed Use designation, which is intended to support a broad mix of residential and commercial activity, including multi- family housing, office uses, mixed-use development, indoor sales and service establishments, restaurants, drive-through facilities, and other compatible neighborhood-serving uses. The proposed signage supports the visibility and function of these uses without introducing impacts that would conflict with the intent of the Future Land Use Map or the City’s long-range planning objectives. Staff finds that the proposal is consistent with the goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Plan Commission approve the requested signs as proposed with the listed conditions below. - Confirmation of appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Committee - Any recommendations by the Plan Commission ATTACHMENTS 1.
