McCann introduced the partners in the project: • Three Leaf Partners – John Fora stated that they want to work with the community.

They worked on the Newport Shore project with them and stated the teams work well together. Tom Meaux, Ansay, stated that the vision is to create an integrated community, not just a project for IDD adults. Tom Stanton, Mel’s Charities, stated that Mel’s mission is to have fun and impact lives. McCann stated that Balance, Inc. is the largest non-profit in Ozaukee County and hold the skill set for IDD individuals. McCann stated that the recreation facility that was planned for the north end of the project has been moved to the plaza. A variety of housing/commercial would be to the north. Eric, Rinka, spoke regarding the South Campus noting that it would center around the idea of a Community Town Center. Seitz asked if the YMCA is still part of the plan. Meaux stated, yes. Eric, Rinka, stated the plaza is what they refer to as Community Green. It would be flexible to support different programs including performance venues, a splash pad and an area for movies. McCann stated that the buildings in the presentation are conceptual for scale only. The buildings will not be all white. Eric, Rinka, spoke on the flow of the space. It will include natural plantings. Most successful communities have a range of housing including single family homes, town homes, 2-story housing, and assisted living/elderly housing. The development would include 150 units with 25% housing individuals with disabilities. Seitz asked if there is a state requirement on the percentage of housing. McCann stated that there is no statute that he is aware of, but added that integrating is the key. McCann stated that there is a corporation that would like to be a part of this project and would employ 100+ individuals. McCann spoke on the time-line, stating that they hope to be operational in 2023. Eric, Rinka, stated that the very north parcel would be slated for a business park, adding that visibility from the freeway is key. Eric stated that the apartment buildings would be the highest density. McCann stated that the recreation facility would house youth sports leagues. McCann stated that the proposed time-line has the project beginning in September of 2022. Zoning permits, water study, traffic study, utility, and infrastructure requirements would all factor in to the time-line. This includes a development agreement and site plans as well as the TID Overlay. The question was asked about the bump out property on Northwoods Road north of the YMCA and the plan for that. McCann stated that it is privately owned. Fischer asked if a market survey was done. Is the potential there that we could potential double the population of Saukville? McCann stated that market studies show the need for the development and added that the project will happen over a 10-year span. Nowlen asked about market prices. McCann stated that they are getting close on final numbers. Janus asked if there are plans for retails to the north. McCann stated, not now. Fischer thanked everyone for their presentations.
