Wisconsin Avenue Oconomowoc, WI 53066 RE: Business Development Loan Approval Dear Community Development Authority Members: City Staff has reviewed the Business Development Loan application of David Eichler of Crafty Cow, LLC at 153 E. Wisconsin Ave in Downtown Oconomowoc. The committee is recommending loan approval for costs to accommodate HVAC upgrades based on the following factors: • A well-established business and to accommodate demand and growth ; • The applicant’s commitment to Downtown Oconomowoc; • Investment into a downtown building which will improve customer experience. Currently, there is an existing balance on an existing Oconomowoc Business Loan, however all parties are accepting of a new loan for the difference to the program maximum. The recommended loan amount for Crafty Cow, LLC is $8,000 and terms are 1% interest with a 10- year payoff. It is also our belief that this is the type of loan that the Business Development Loan Pool was intended as it assists in enhancing downtown building stock and uses the funds for reinvestment into a downtown building. The Committee would request the Oconomowoc Community Development Authority’s approval for this loan application contingent upon City Building Inspector review . If you would like additional information, or would like to further discuss, please feel free to contact me at 262-569-2185. Sincerely, CITY OF OCONOMOWOC Robert K. Duffy Economic Development Director 4 5 6 7 8 To: Mayor Rosek Common Council CDA From: Bob Duffy, Economic Development Date: August 4, 2026 Re: Façade Project Resolution to Increase Grant Dollars In 2008, the City Council approved resolutions creating a Façade Grant Program. Since that time, City Staff has worked with owners of the designated downtown properties to enhance these structures back to their former grandeur. The City has assisted over 50 building owners since its inception. In 2017, the City also created a major façade program that could assist up to $50,000 for major investment into significant downtown structures. That was the mechanism used to assist with the Mann Opera Hall building (now North 48) at 102 – 108 N. Main Street, and Cornerstone Pub building. The current program created allowed a maximum loan and grant amount of $5,000. In working with the owners, costs are increasing to make substantive improvements. In an effort to continue to assist building owners, it may be appropriate to increase the grant amount to $10,000. To make more of these projects a reality, thought an increase in funding available would provide additional incentive. Currently, the City’s Façade fund has approximately $280,000 available to assist with both types of façade projects.

Wisconsin Avenue Gateway Redevelopment Master Plan RELATES TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN Strategic Goal- III. Focus on Community Growth A. Research & Plan for City Development 1 Create Vision for Development Options & plan for E. Wisconsin Ave Corridor BACKGROUND The City adopted design guidelines for the E. Wisconsin Avenue corridor in order to encourage development and redevelopment opportunities. The City has also established a City Strategic Plan goal to Develop Options and Plan for E. Wisconsin Avenue corridor. At the request of the City, the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee Community Design Solutions group has come up with a redevelopment concept for the E. Wisconsin Avenue corridor. The redevelopment concepts include a mix of housing types, as well as mixed use buildings with first floor commercial and upper floor residential. Based on prior feedback, they included visual preference images for general architecture. The specifics will be determined by the Architectural Commission when projects move forward as it relates to building size, intensity, and massing. They would then have a contextual basis for details based on what is proposed. In addition, there have been E. Wisconsin Avenue cross-sections to be considered and analyzed as changes occur in the corridor. The purpose of the Gateway Corridor area planning is to determine the land’s highest and best use potential in order for the City to realize it’s vision for downtown revitalization and strategic plan goal for the E. Wisconsin Avenue corridor. 16 17 Oconomowoc Gateway Masterplan February 2023 18 3 4 5 7 15 16 17 23 24 25 31 Project Summary ...........................................................................................................................................

TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 | Oconomowoc Gateway | Community Design Solutions 19 Oconomowoc Bob Duffy, Jason Gallo and Kristi Weber Carolyn Esswein Roe Draus, Tess Richard Client Client Representative CDS Director CDS Project Assistants PARTICIPANTS PROJECT SUMMARY The City of Oconomowoc wants to build on the success of their downtown core. The project site, situated east of the core, serves as a gateway into the downtown. The project goal was to determine site constraints and housing development strategies for vacant and underutilized properties. Site access, parking, programming, and floodplain constraints were identified. Community Design Solutions (CDS) developed three master plans that include mixed-use apartment buildings, townhomes, and single family homes. The options vary based on density and housing types. Plan features include: improved pedestrian realm, increased density, individual housing nodes, and an activated the streetscape with public spaces and active ground floors along Wisconsin Avenue. 3 | Oconomowoc Gateway | Community Design Solutions 20 Location Map 4 | Oconomowoc Gateway | Community Design Solutions DOWNTOWN CORE N PROJECT SITE 21 Existing Conditions Steep topography shifts that separates parcels Existing storefronts and surface parking lots along Wisconsin Avenue Current parking options, view of woodlands to the north Street conditions and current setback on Wisconsin Avenue 5 | Oconomowoc Gateway | Community Design Solutions 22 Existing Conditions North area of site with heavy woodlands and floodplain Current street conditions with two traffic lanes and a central turn lane Approach from the existing downtown area looking west Approach from the east looking west along Wisconsin Avenue 6 | Oconomowoc Gateway | Community Design Solutions 23 Apartment Building PRECEDENTS Link: https://www.greshamsmith.com/project/martin-corner-mixed-use-development/ Link: https://www.treehugger.com/seattle-apartment-could-help-solve-housing-and-energy-crises-4857106 Martin Corner Mixed-Use Development Key Features to Consider: -
