Old Business (The following items may have action taken)
Presentation from Mazomanie Fire Department regarding the purchase of fire apparatus.
Chief Parman reviewed a presentation informing the Village Board about pending ladder truck and engine
replacement options. The Village operates a 1997 ladder truck which has been scheduled for replacement
in 2026 and a 1996 engine which has been scheduled for replacement in 2027. Options presented to the
Board include purchasing new and used fire apparatus and including the funding as part of the General
Obligation Bond which will be sold in April 2026. If the Village Board supports purchasing two fire
apparatuses in 2026, the subsequent pricing would exceed one million dollars. Chief Parman also
requested any decision to purchase a fire apparatus take into consideration on the year it has been made to
prevent the Village from stacking multiple replacements within a short amount of time. No action taken.
Discuss and recommend the placement of a permanent dumpster at Walter Crossing. Request from
Kevin & Scott Looye.
Erickson reviewed the history of the Looyes ’ request, noting that the Plan Commission had previously
tabled their proposal to place a dumpster near the Walter-Emily Road intersection. The Looye ’s submitted
an alternative location near the northeast corner of the four-unit building along Walter Road. The revised
proposal includes a minimum twenty-three-foot setback from Walter Road, an enclosure measuring
approximately eight by twelve feet, a maximum height of six feet, and a driveway opening no wider than
thirty feet.
Motion by Forseth, second by Marx to conditionally approve the proposed placement, pending
verification that the enclosure is located outside the stormwater utility easement. The motion also
required installation of a gate if the enclosure opening faces east; if the opening faces south, a gate
would not be required. M otion carried unanimously .
Discuss and recommend site plan for Plastic Ingenuity Expansion. Request from Plastic Ingenuity.

Plastic Ingenuity ’s expense. Finally, truck traffic shall not exist the facility and head west onto Town
roads. Truck traffic shall go to the east (right) onto Village Roads.

Reid presented Town & Country ’s review letter dated February 23, 2026, which included:
Sheet C-1 – The new expansion will require removal of the community garden facility that is located on
the Plastic Ingenuity property. That site is currently served by a 1-inch water lateral that will need to be
abandoned at the corporation stop of the water main. This existing meter pit will also need to be
abandoned, and the meter returned to the Village.
Erickson noted the Community Garden group has been working with the Village to relocate the gardens.
Two sites have been identified and are under review. Plastic Ingenuity has agreed to cover the cost of
relocation.
Sheet C-2 – It is not clear how/if the new expansion will receive sewer and water service. The fire chief
should be consulted about requirements related to fire hydrant proximity to the new expansion.
A number of existing private stormwater management features will need to be relocated for this project.
All changes to existing features and the sizing of new features will need to comply with the Village, Dane
County, and DNR requirements. Full approvals from those agencies should be provided before
commencing work.
It is also not clear how connections to Hudson Street will be accomplished . Detailed elevations of the
driveway and road connection should be included in all successive submittals.
Sheet C-3 – A new fire hydrant and connection is shown near the existing main driveway to Hudson
Street but not labeled. If this is proposed, an isolation valve will be needed near the main connection and
a minimum 10-foot long/full-width pavement patch provided. The connection will need to be further
evaluated once the roadway connection details are provided.
General – An updated stormwater management affidavit will be needed to cover the relocated and new
stormwater features.
A motion to conditionally approve the site plans contingent upon the conditions outlined in the
Vierbicher review letter dated February 16, 2026 and the Town and Country review letter dated
February 23, 2026 subject to final review by the Village Attorney was made by Martinez ; motion
seconded by Forseth . Motion carried unanimously.
Site Plan for new home construction at 509 Ridge Drive pursuant to §415-10. R equest by Mark &
Sue Barry.
Erickson provided a review of the property at 509 Ridge Drive and the Plan Commission ’s decision s on
February 9, 2026, and February 23, 2026.
Tomas Toro , Grothman and Associates , and Matt Kippley, Kippley Construction, discussed the site plan
which includes the use of Envirolok retaining walls on the south and east slopes, the addition of a
wrought iron fence along the east, south and portions of the west slopes for safety of parkland users, the
installation of a berm to divert water above the south facing slope , and a new offer to purchase Lot 15
without contingencies has been submitted which will be signed following the Village Board ’s decision .
The Village Board inquired if the Envirolok materials have a warranty, who is responsible for inspecting
the integrity of the wall long-term, and which party is responsible for hiring a licensed engineer to stamp
the submitted site plans. Toro was unaware if warranties existed with the Envirolok materials. Kippley
Construction or the homeowner will be responsible for securing an engineer that will stamp the site plans.
The Village will complete the sign off on the easement release with the Village Attorney and charge the
escrow account for reimbursement.
Motion by Marx , second by Martinez to conditionally approve the site plan contingent upon the
following conditions:
1. The retaining walls (including Envirolok ) shall be stamped by a professional engineer and
shall be installed prior to the final certificate of occupancy. A temporary occupancy
certificate may be issued, based upon #2.
2. In writing, residents affirm that they know the risks regarding erosion, especially if wall
structures are not yet completed.
3. The Utilities shall sign off on easement releases in a separate document between Lot 14 &
15; along with an updated CSM.
4. The western retaining wall on Lot 13 shall still allow for the 10 ’ utility easement.
5. That the sale of Lot 15 has been completed.
6. A certificate of occupancy shall be withheld until retaining walls are complete or residents
affirm risks.
7. The fence and berm shall be completed, following approval process with the Pheasant Ridge
