Public Works Committee Minutes July 21, 2026,-7:00 AM Town ofVerona Hall, 7669 County Highway PD Present: Mike Duerst, Brett LindeH, Manfred Enburg Absent: Russ Swiggum Also Present: Chris Barnes, Public Works Director, Mark Judd Public Present: Ron Klass, Bob Blasdel, Jim Butler, Jason Zampardi 1. Call to Order/Additions to Agenda/Approve Agenda - Duerst calied the meeting to order at 7:03 AM. Duerst asked for additions and approval of the agenda. Enburg moved to accept the agenda, seconded by Lindel!, motion carried. 2. Action: Review June 16, 2026, IVIinutes, -the committee reviewed the minutes. Enburg moved to approve the June minutes as submitted, second by Lindell, motion carried. 3. Discussion and Possible Action: Riverside Road Development Review: Duerst introduced the Riverside Road (Oak Ridge Court) proposed development. Barnes explained the various design options for the development adjacent to Flint Lane and stated that the Plan Commission is looking for formal review comments from the committee. Barnes introduced Ron Klass, Donofrio Kottlle and Assoc. to further describe the project. There is a total of 18 residential lots proposed. Klass set forth some of the design challenges, especially regarding Flint Lane connection. Duerst asked about the construction phasing and stated his idea to extend the proposed Oak Ridge Court to the south end of Flint Lane and end it with a cul de sac. Enburg agreed with Duerst's Idea and added to abandon the existing Flint Lane. Enburg was in opposition to any development proposal which would not provide access to lands to the south of the proposed cul de sac. K!ass asked if anyone from the town had spoken with the owners (Rodriguez) at the end of Flint Lane. Barnes answered, he had not. Discussion Followed. Blasdel asked if under the current design if the lands to the south were sold to Dane County, would the county use Flint Lane for access? Klass replied yes. Blasdel also asked about access coming entirely from Sugar River Road? Klass replied the existing terrain and waterway would require very steep grades and would make the connection difficult and expensive. Enburg made a motion that Oak Ridge Court be extended to the southwest corner of the property to intersect Flint Lane such that most of Flint Lane could be abandoned and still maintain access for the current owners. Second by LindeH, motion carried. 4. Discussion and Possible Action: Sunset Drive Development Review: Duerst asked Justin Zampardi, Viehbicher and Assoc. to come forward and present project. Zampardi explained the development comprises of 173 acres containing 68 lots and is situated north of Sunset Drive and generally south of Prairie Moraine Park. The plan proposes two outlets onto Sunset Drive with a third connection to Darby Fields Drive (private) which then outlets to Sunset Drive. The development proposes four stormwater basins for stormwater management. Barnes also mentioned the old concrete box culvert on Sunset Drive was submitted for replacement through the WISDOT small structure program. Barnes stated the town board approved a lower load rating on the culvert of 20 tons. Discussion followed. Barnes stated, based on his calculations, any increase in the culvert opening could impact the downstream owners, two of which have driveways in the waterway. Duerst questioned Barnes about proposed traffic impacts. Barnes state that a traffic impact analysis (TIA) would be prepared through MSA Engineers to analyze traffic patterns especially at Sunset Drive and County Trunk Highway (CTH) PB. Enburg questioned whether the Red Stone Lane Intersection was included in the TIA scope and .asked that any analysis include Red Stone Lane. Barnes stated that it was. Jim Butler stated the Sunset Drive/CTH PB intersection was dangerous, and he believed 9 people had died in the last 20 years on CTH PB. Duerst stated that he thought the widening and connection of Red Stone Lane Enburg into the development would be an advantage and relieve some traffic from the Sunset Drive Intersection. Enburg added that having road access across the proposed lots 6 and 7 reserved such that the adjacent property was sensible. Duerst asked Linde!! about the connection to Darby Fields Lane and Lindell mentioned the original development of Deer Haven anticipated the current proposed development traffic and they were considering the idea of converting their private roads to a town road. Barnes asked Zampardi if the proposed development was intended to be private or public road. Zampardi replied they were intended to be private. Barnes shared his concern that the private roads should be required to have the town perform the winter maintenance to ensure consistent snow and ice removal with other town roads. Enburg stated he thought such a requirement would be government overreach and was opposed to such a requirement. Senseman added that with a development of 68 lots, the town needs to anticipate the eventual conversion of the roads to public. Discussion followed. Enburg made a motion requesting the developer to provide an access easement across Lots 6 and 7 which would accommodate a future connection to Red Stone Lane. Second by Lindeli. Motion carried. 5. Discussion: Natural Hazard IVtitigation Planning- Barnes stated that the town wou!d be involved with updating the Dane County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. He state that due to the extended time necessary for the two development review agenda items, he recommended delaying comments until he August meeting. 6. Information: Town Storm Water Basin Clean Out- Duerst opened the discussion explaining the work he had done to mow down the existing bank weeds. He also stated that the town staff had been in contact with Edgerton Construction and Edgeton supplied a proposal to perform the basin clean for the sum of $45,000. The town board approved this proposal at the July meeting. Work should be in early September and take about 1 week. Barnes stated he intended to consult with a pond management company to develop a plan to minimize the propagation of aquatic weeds 7. Information: Nine Springs Valley Interceptor Replacement (Goose Lake to Fitchrona Road): Barnes stated that the project will replace portion of MMSD interceptor sewer from Goose Lake to Fitchrona Road pump station and the design was complete. MMSD is planning to bid the project in September. Barnes stated the next step is to determine the cost share for a new metering station at Fitchrona Road. The City of Rtchburg and the town will share the cost of the metering vault. 8. Information: Hyper Road (Country View Road) construction and Dairy Ridge Road. Barnes stated that Edgerton Construction continues the Hyper Drive construction from the section of Dairy Ridge completed in 2025 to the proposed crossing of Sugar River and connection to Country View Road. Dairy Ridge Road is closed at Seven Springs Road and is schedule the reopen for the beginning of the school season. A section of the Military Ridge Trail is also being detoured for approximately 18 months for construction of the new Hyper Drive bridge over Sugar River and constructing the Sugar River meander. 9. a. Riverside Vista Development -No new actions. Barnes stated that paving the surface should be delayed until more homes were built. Discussion followed, the consensus of the committee was to inform the owner, Jim Coons, the surface should be delayed until at least 2027. Barnes state he thought Coons intended to install the asphalt surface this year. Duerst made a motion to delay the surface course for one year. Second by Senseman, Motion Carried b. Sugar River Development". Construction began in early May. The culvert crossing of Sugar River Road was completed May 4th. Road and stormwater basin construction will continue in July and utility installations for electric and communications are scheduled for August. Barnes stated that the town road project was under budget on asphalt, so he used the available tonnage to pave about 600 feet south of the new Sweetwater Lane intersection. No particular concerns. 10. Equipment Condition- Judd stated that the 2014 Peterbilt repairs were complete and the truck would now go to Madison Truck for front snowplow repairs. This work is ail covered by insurance. There were no other equipment operational issues. 11. Monthly Public Works Report: No questions 12. Schedule for Next Committee meeting- Meeting set for August 18,2026 13. Adjourn- Motion by Lindeli, second by Enburg to adjourn at 8:27 AM. Approved: August 18. Prepared By: W.

Prepared by Dane County Emergency Monagement-Summer 2027Page 4 of 10 Dane County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan: Town of Verona Annex Vulnerability Assessment A hazard identification and vulnerability analysis was completed for the Town of Verona using the same methodology as the countywide assessment. The information in this Annex was reviewed and updated through the town board process. Table 6 outlines the hazard identified for Verona. Local Hazard Priorities The current highessr hazard properties and events are high wind storm events (straight line winds, tornados) which result in tree damage and dmge to existing overlihead utiitues and road closures, Recent history has senn a decline in heavy snow events but the conditions and possibilities exist for serous winter storm events resulting in road closures and emergency snow removal. Localized flooding occurs on Fitchrona Road during rain events typically above a 2 year event (2,84 inches) over a 24 hour evenet. IRecent Local Hazard Events Recent hazard events that impacted the community beyond the impacts and events recorded in the Dane County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Table 6.

Potential individuals at risk were estimated by multiplying residential structures by the average household size in Dane County (2.37 people as of 2021). Estimated loss potentials for all structures in the floodway along with a full description of the methodology used can be found in the main plan.

Using this data, the agency identifies repetitive loss and severe repetitive loss properties, Repetitive loss properties have incurred more than $1,000 in flood-related damage on at least two occasions in any 10-year period since 1978. No repetitive or severe repetitive loss properties were reported in Verona. Verona has 0 active flood insurance policies, Tornados While it is difficult to predict tornado-related losses due to the random nature of the event, the planning team developed estimates of the percent area of each jurisdiction that could be impacted based on the average sized tornado (F2) In Dane County. The loss ratio (the ratio of the damaged building value to total exposed building value) is a measure of the impact to the jurisdiction as a whole. Communities with loss ratios of 10% or more may have difficulty recovering from a disaster. High value exposure is based on total- 100%, medium- 50%, and low- 25% loss to the property potentially impacted. Refer to the tornado profile methodology in the companion plan for details. Table 8.

Verona,WI 53593 8/7/2026 Public Works Committee c/o Chris Barnes, Public Works Director Town ofVerona 7669 County Highway PD Verona,WI 53593 Re: Application for Driveway Construction Permit - Variance for Additional Driveway Dear Public Works Committee: My name is Kevin Krause, and I live at 6735 Rolling Oaks Ln in the Town ofVerona. Our family has called the Town of Verona home for the past six years and prior to that were residents of the City of Verona for sixteen years. We moved to the town to enjoy the benefits of living in the rural community and take advantage of the added size, privacy and rustic nature of our 2.5-acre lot on Rolling Oaks. I am writing to you today to request your approval of a Driveway Application, including a variance request to Driveway Ordinance 2014-04, Section 5, Paragraph (a)(3) Number (one driveway per lot). We are requesting a second driveway off Rolling Oaks Ln. to access a detached accessory building we are planning to construct on our residential property in accordance with Dane County RR-2 Rural Residential Zoning Ordinance 10.102(2)(a). The accessory building will be storage outbuilding for personal recreational vehicles, trailers and yard maintenance equipment. Design and planning for the outbullding have provided several hardships given some unique site features and layout of our lot, Surface Water Feature A natural surface water feature/navigable waterway, as defined by the Wisconsin DNR, is located on the southwest corner of our lot. This sensitive surface water feature collects local rainwater runoff. Per Dane County litnitations we are not allowed to construct any structures within 75' of this surface water feature. Based on configuration of the lot and location of our primary residence, this greatly restricts the potential locations we can construction the outbuilding. Unfortunately, the largest open area and flattest portion of the lot is located west of the house in direct adjacency to the surface water feature and as a result has been deemed not available for construction due to the Public Works Committee - 6735 Rolling Oaks Driveway Application and Variance Request 8/7/2026 Page 2 setback. The only available area for the outbuilding is located east of the existing primary residence. Site Undulation/Slopes Part of what makes our lot unique but also provides limitations on accessibility and access to areas of the lot are the varying and, in some areas, steeper slopes of the land. This includes configuration of the existing driveway. The existing driveway has significant uphil! and compound slope to it that has proven to be difficult for several reasons. We have had multiple vehicles slide off the driveway into the adjacent drainage ditch when trying to access up the driveway during snow events. It also makes backing up any trailer or recreational vehicle extremely difficult in any conditions. The driveway also includes an offset towards the top, so in addition to the slope, one must navigate an unstraight approach as well. Lot Shape and Adiacencies In addition to the varying slopes and surface water feature, our lot is also of a unique shape and is boarded by two roadways, Rolling Oaks Ln. to the north and County Highway PB to the east. These features are extremely limiting for access to the lot and make it hard locating a single driveway for access and use of all areas. Existing Water Well Our water well is located to the southeast of residence. Direct connection of a drive from the existing driveway/residence to the available location ofoutbuilding construction is limited due to the location of the well head. Fire Department Access The existing residence is situated within the allowed maximum 100' distance from Rolling Oaks Ln. for access by the Verona Fire Department. In addition to the forementioned slope and unstraight maneuvering required, accessing the outbuilding from the existing driveway would add significant length over 100' and additional complicated maneuvers for any apparatus to reach the outbuilding for potential fire response. Addition of the second driveway wi)) allow for the outbuilding to be located such that it also wili be within a 100' distance from Rolling Oaks Ln. and have a much more level approach to it. In closing, the variance request for a second driveway comes after significant review of the existing conditions, various ordinances and consultation with a local civil engineering firm, Wyser Engineering. The second driveway Is planned with consideration for adjacent property owners and does not interfere with their driveways. !t is planned off Rolling Oaks In. a town maintained, but Public Works Committee - 6735 Rolling Oaks Driveway Application and Variance Request 8/7/2026 Page 3 limited use roadway/dead end cul-de-sac, primarity used for access to the seven residential properties located here. The second driveway will comply with all other requirements of Driveway Ordinance 2014-04 including max widths and required culvert construction. It will provide safe general personal access and emergency response access to our new outbuilding. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this application and variance request. We are happy to answer any questions you may have or provide any additional supplemental information that may be required to support your approval. We appreciate all the work you do to maintain the high quality of life and town support services for the Town of Verona.

The Information in this Annex was reviewed and updated through the town board process. Table 6 outlines the hazard identified for Verona. Local Hazard Priorities The current highessr hazard properties and events are high wind storm events (straight line winds, tornados) which result in tree damage and dmge to existing overllhead utiitues and road closures. Recent history has senn a decline in heavy snow events but the conditions and possibilities exist for serous winter storm events resulting In road closures and emergency snow removal. Localized flooding occurs on Fltchrona Road during rain events typically above a 2 year event (2.84 inches) over a 24 hour evenet. Recent Local Hazard Events Recent hazard events that impacted the community beyond the impacts and events recorded in the Dane County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Table 6.

Potential individuals at risk were estimated by multiplying residential structures by the average household size In Dane County (2.37 people as of 2021). Estimated loss potentials for alt structures in the floodway along with a full description of the methodology used can be found in the main plan.

Using this data, the agency identifies repetitive loss and severe repetitive loss properties. Repetitive loss properties have incurred more than $1,000 in flood-related damage on at least two occasions in any 10'year period since 1978. No repetitive or severe repetitive loss properties were reported in Verona. Verona has 0 active flood insurance policies. Tornados While it is difficult to predict tornado-related losses due to the random nature of the event, the planning team developed estimates of the percent area of each jurisdiction that could be impacted based on the average sized tornado (F2) in Dane County. The loss ratio (the ratio of the damaged building value to total exposed building value) is a measure of the impact to the jurisdiction as a whole. Communities with loss ratios of 10% or more may have difficulty recovering from a disaster. High value exposure is based on total- 100%, medium- 50%, and low- 25% loss to the property potentially impacted. Refer to the tornado profile methodology in the companion plan for details. Table 8.

Capability Assessment Each community has a unique set of capabilities, including authorities, policies, programs, staff, funding, and other resources available to accomplish mitigation and reduce long-term vulnerability. By documenting the existing capabilities in each community, we can identify capabilities that currently reduce disaster losses or could be used to reduce disaster losses in the future.
