Police Department and Fire Department updates Capt. Winterscheidt said this week we received our new Axon body worn cameras and tasers, so we have been implementing those and providing Patrol training on those. Capt. Winterscheidt said we have not had any critical incidents in Superior in the last few weeks however we did assist Duluth PD in the tragic incident that occurred yesterday. Councilor Ledin asked about the status of the officer involved accident that occurred months ago and wanted to commend the department on their transparency of that situation. Capt. Winterscheidt said the officer is doing fine and back on duty. The incident is now being reviewed by a neighboring county District Attorney. Chief Gordon said the contract was just signed for the Wisconsin Task Force. There will be eleven departments in the state that will formulate Task Force One. This contract will go through June of 2024. Chief Gordon mentioned a tool that is now being used by several districts that their cities are currently installing fiber optic cable. The boring sometimes will inadvertently nick natural gas lines, causing the methane gas odor. A meter has been developed to read the properties of natural gas through glass (windows), eliminating having to break into houses if residents aren’t home to determine if the issue is inside their home. Chief Gordon talked about this available tool, and the possibility of purchasing the tool to help with the installation of broadband cable. No action 2.

ROLL CALL Members present: Mayor Jim Paine, Tylor Elm, Lindsey Graskey, Brent Fennessey, Brian Finstad, Anne Porter, Dave Strum, Garner Moffat Members excused: Dennis Dalbec Staff present: Jason Serck, Allison Johnson Others present: Shelley Nelson, Frog Prell There being a quorum present, the meeting was in order. APPROVAL OF MINUTES MOTION by Commissioner Fennessey, seconded by Elm, and carried to unanimously approve the minutes of March 16, 2022. NEW BUSINESS 1. Review and approval of an ordinance allowing mixed-use developments in Manufacturing Districts Economic Development, Planning & Port Director Serck explained that the ordinance change would allow for mixed-use development in our manufacturing districts which includes a large portion of the north end downtown district. Serck elaborated that there is a project proposed for a property in this district, that would be a great fit for the area and has a residential component too it, so making this change would allow for this and future projects to be developed. Commissioner Finstad agreed with the mixed-use requirement for parcels along Tower Avenue corridor but wouldn’t be opposed to allowed just residential development elsewhere in the zoning district. Commissioner Elm asked if it would be safe, appropriate, or responsible to have residential built close to ore docks or some of the larger manufacturing facilities. Serck clarified that it likely wouldn’t be a problem and would “self-regulate” as developers would likely not consider those locations based on desirability, and potential contamination of soils disallowing residential developments. Commissioner Strum questioned why “4-units” was specified and why it couldn’t be less units to allow for redevelopment of some existing properties that aren’t large enough for 4-units. Commissioner Moffat expressed concerns with allowing residential uses in the M2 – Heavy Manufacturing district, explaining that these areas allow for heavier uses that are generally not healthy to live near, nor are they pedestrian friendly or have the infrastructure (sidewalks, etc.) to support residential uses. Serck discussed the few areas in the city zoned M2 and that it’s likely that residential wouldn’t be built in the areas anyway, so removing residential from this district wouldn’t hinder future developments. The focus area for this zoning change  [20220503R 25] would be directed at the north end downtown district currently zoned M1 – Light Manufacturing. Commissioner Strum reiterated his concerns about the minimum number of required dwelling units and suggested it should be less to allow more flexibility for redevelopment of existing locations in the district that aren’t large enough to accommodate four dwelling units on the upper floor(s). Commissioner Porter suggested just simply removing any limit on the number of dwelling units to allow for someone to develop or redevelop a storefront that only has one large dwelling occupying the upper floor(s). MOTION by Commissioner Elm, seconded by Graskey, and carried to unanimously approve ordinance allowing mixed-use developments in Manufacturing Districts. MOTION by Commissioner Moffat, seconded by Finstad, and carried to amend the ordinance language to read “Sec. 122-558 537. Permitted Uses” effectively placing it in M1 – Manufacturing Light District, as opposed to M2 – Manufacturing Heavy. MOTION by Commissioner Strum, seconded by Elm, and failed to amend the ordinance language to read “Where at least four two dwelling units comprise the residential component.” MOTION by Commissioner Porter, seconded by Elm, and carried to amend the ordinance language to read “Mixed-use development. Where at least four dwelling units comprise the residential component.” 2. Review and approval of draft language for creating a special use permit regarding the usage of drive-through speakers adjacent to residentially used or zoned properties. Commissioner Finstad supplied some background on the request to regulate drive-through speakers based on concerns surrounding some existing drive-through restaurants, which have caused a noise nuisance in the city. He used an example of a restaurant that made promises to area neighbors to mitigate light and sound pollution from their drive-through, however once they received their approvals the did not follow through with the mitigation. Creating a special use permit would allow the City the ability to regulate drive-through requirements to alleviate more future disruptions for residences living near them. Serck explained the draft language presented and expanded that focusing on drive-through times and measured distances to residential properties could be a good direction to take to allow both business flexibility and preserve the residential properties in the area. Commissioner Elm asked if this would be for new businesses only, or retroactive. That distinction would need to be decided when drafting and approving the special use permit ordinance. Commissioner Moffat brought of light pollution concerns as well as the speaker volume concerns and would like that to be addressed in the special use permit. Serck clarified that the current zoning code has some robust language for screening, buffering, landscaping and lighting requirements for commercial properties abutting Plan Commission April 20, 2022  [20220503R 26] residential districts which is strictly followed, however most of these businesses were in place prior to the buffering code being in place. Serck added that some of these concerns could also be addressed just by reaching out to current restaurant owners and having them address some of the light concerns and potentially their buffering requirements. Paine suggested holding the item in committee while staff prepares language to present at the next meeting to address the discussion held today. 3. Discussion on allowing gun sales in C2 – Highway Commercial District through a special use permit Commissioner Fennessey explained that an auction business recently relocated to a C2 – Highway Commercial zoning district which now disallows them to sell firearms at their auctions because the sale of firearms is not allowed in this zoning district. Fennessey is requesting that a special use permit be created that allows for the sale of firearms in C2 district, and possibly places a limit to the number days per year or month on when they can be sold. Serck added that a special use permit could be created, or that an ordinance change could be made to allow for firearm sales in the C2 district. Commissioner Moffat supported creating a special use permit rather than an ordinance change because it allows the city more control in regulating the number establishments allowed to sell firearms. Paine suggested holding the item in committee while the planning department drafts language for both a special use permit and draft language for an ordinance change to present at the next meeting. OTHER BUSINESS ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 5:10 p.m. Respectfully Submitted by: Allison Johnson Planning Technician City of Superior Plan Commission April 20, 2022  [20220503R 27] Date: April 25, 2022 Council Date: May 3, 2022 MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor Paine and Members of the Plan Commission FROM: Jason Serck, Planning, Economic Development & Port Director RE: Ordinance allowing Mixed-use developments in M1 – Manufacturing District, Light INTRODUCTION – At the direction of the Plan Commission, the Planning Department created an ordinance that would allow Mixed-use developments in M1 – Manufacturing District, Light. The ordinance change would allow a residential component to be included in all new developments or redevelopments of existing properties in this zoning district. The Plan Commission approved this ordinance at their April 20, 2022 meeting. CONCLUSION – Please approve this ordinance.

ROLL CALL Members Present: Brian Finstad, Kathleen Laakso, Tim Meyer, Tom Wondolkowski Member Absent: Matt Osterlund Staff Present: Jeff Skrenes Others Present: Mayor Jim Paine, Council Members Lindsey Graskey and Brent Fennessey, Miles Ringsred There being a quorum present, the meeting was in order. Due to scheduling concerns for several present, a MOTION was made by Board Member Finstad and seconded by Board Member Laakso to amend the agenda and discuss old business before new business. The motion carried unanimously. APPROVAL OF MINUTES MOTION by Board Member Finstad, seconded by Laakso, to approve the March 9, 2022 minutes, carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS 1. State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) Presentation and Discussion a. Miles Ringsred presented information about the site at the waterfront, where one wall remains after a fire destroyed two warehouses. The possible deterioration of the site means the wall may need reinforcement very soon. Mayor Paine informed the committee that since a decision to recommend SLFRF funds for this purpose was not an agenda item, it would be inappropriate for the committee to take such action. But a continued discussion of potentially eligible sites could continue. Ringsred stated one wall remains after the fire, and the site had been nearing the end of the process for designation on the National Register of Historic Places. Jepsen, Inc. has provided an estimate of $185,000 needed to preserve the façade. Once properly preserved, it could be backfilled as part of a new building or used as bandshell‐like backdrop for outdoor gathering space. The Mill City Museum in Minneapolis, once the site of an explosion, is a good example of this. The owners are open to purchase by the city, or would look for developers. They had spent $20,000 on a feasibility study prior to the fire. As the ground thaws, the remaining and unsupported wall could become a safety concern for the public in general and the neighboring railroad specifically. The $185,000 estimate includes the parts needed to stabilize the site, but does not include as much as $49,000 in costs to remove footings and  [20220503R 30] other debris after the completion of work. The bid from Jepsen also referenced $6,800 in monthly payments needed if their materials remained onsite for more than 12 months. However, the $185,000 amount plus removal is expected to stabilize the wall prior to this cost becoming necessary. The owners are in the process of litigation with the party responsible for the fire. That litigation is unlikely to be settled in a timely manner, relative to the risks the wall poses if it remains unsupported. The owners are also open to a lien that could be repaid once insurance funds are resolved. There are back taxes, which could present a concern for public investment. A developer is potentially interested. The HPC stated they would like to visit the site in person if possible, before making a final recommendation. b. Skrenes summarized community input. Staff put out a survey online and held a community event to ask for how people would prioritize historic preservation projects. Community members were asked to assign a value to proposals named by HPC members, and could also present their own ideas. There were seventy‐one responses from the online survey. That survey allowed respondents to rank each of the nineteen proposals from 0 (not at all important) to 5 (very important). There were no limits to how many items could be ranked as 5. The intent was to gauge priorities if there were little to no limit on resources available. No new ideas were proposed from the online survey. A public event was held at the Thirsty Pagan, with forty‐eight members of the public in attendance. The same nineteen projects were presented, with the option to add more. This event introduced forced scarcity, with attendees only having three stickers to place on their desired projects. Two other items were added by people in attendance. For the online survey, the proposals with the top number of points were the Carnegie Library (62), the Princess Theater (61), the Meteor (59), and the Old Fire Hall Museum (58). The Tower Avenue Arch, Fairlawn Mansion, and former City Hall each had 57 points. For the public forum, the Princess Theater received 30 votes, the Carnegie Library and Fire Hall each received 20, and the Tower Avenue arch received 17. The committee discussed which projects could receive funding from SLFRF versus other city budget sources, such as a neighborhood development fund for revolving loans that assist historic property owners. The committee discussed how much of the SLFRF process they would like to monitor, from either having an application process or being more flexible in seeking public input and providing recommendations to the Common Council. The committee also discussed whether to make some recommendations immediately (because certain structures need to be secured as quickly as possible) or waiting for more input. It was decided that committee members and staff would attempt as much on‐site visits to key project areas as possible, and move recommendations to the Council at the May meeting.

The application was submitted very shortly before the agenda was set for the April HPC meeting. I have reviewed prior applications more extensively, doing additional research to help applicants find more information on the subject properties while also verifying the completeness and accuracy of the data. Due to time constraints, I have not done that here, but will do so either prior to the public hearing for designation or prior to the May meeting if the Committee needs more information to make a decision. The application was submitted and deemed complete on 4/12/22. The line item for questions 1. And 2. was blank on the application but the proposed name is “Lenroot House.” The applicant attests that the property meets three of four criteria for designation under Superior City Code – that it exemplifies the broad cultural, political, economic, or social history of the nation, state, or community; that it is identified with historic persons or with important events in national, state, or local history; and that it embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type inherently valuable for the study of a period, style, or method of construction or of indigenous materials or craftsmanship. A preliminary review of the application and subject property indicates that all three are qualified criteria for the subject property. Further, the fourth criteria, “represents the notable work of a master builder, designer, or architect whose work was influential,” may also apply, as the property appears to have been designed by George W. Maher. That information is included in the six pages immediately following this summary. Staff recommends approval by this committee. _________________________________________ Jeff Skrenes Housing Coordinator and Planner.  [20220503R 37] 10.5 All of 1204 Tower Ave, Superior WI. [20220503R 38]
