RE: draft ‘Concept Master Land Plan’ at Pabst Farms
Mr. Jason Gallo,
Pabst Farms is pleased to present to the Committee of Whole on Tuesday, December 5th our updated Concept
Land Plan for the remaining lands at Pabst Farms within the City of Oconomowoc.
We have been working on this Concept Plan for several months, meeting with City Staff on several occasions
for their comments and input. Leading the planning efforts, the Teska Associates Group has been involved
with land planning in Oconomowoc for several decades.
The Pabst Farms original vision/goal was to develop a Place to Live, Work, Play & Shop. We continue to have
that same vision/goal to achieve the best in class community.
This Plan identifies current trends for land use and outlines a cohesive plan featuring inner connectivity within
Pabst Farms creating a unique sense of place.
As this process moves forward, we welcome the discussion to create a ‘special place’. We hope to achieve
appropriate approvals by March 2024 so that we can deliver and execute on the Plan with interested users.
Currently, there is increasing interest in Pabst Farms, especially with the announcement of the development of
the Pabst 59 site.
It is important to have this Plan available to attract the needs of future users.
