PUBLIC WORKS/SEWER & WATER COMMITTEE
MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2019
1. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Kemp at 5:18pm.
2. Roll Call: Present: Chad Kemp, Sarah Gaskell. Excused: Evan Touchett. Also present: Theran Jacobson, Public
Works Director; Katherine Holt, Community Development Specialist; Carla Fischer, City Engineer / AECOM;
Chris Elhers, Veridian Homes; Dan Day, D’Onofrio Kottke and Associates; Renee Hickman, Verona Press.
3. MOVED by Kemp, seconded by Gaskell, to approve the minutes of the September 30, 2019 meeting of the Public
Works/ Sewer and Water Committee. Motion carried 2-0.
4. Discussion and action regarding Developers Agreement with Liberty Business Park for Liberty Drive Extension.
Jacobson presented information regarding Liberty Drive Extension, which is a privately funded project. The
improvements to Liberty Drive will commence on October 29, 2019 and complete on or before July 31, 2020.
The wording in this Developers Agreement is typical of a subdivision Developers Agreement. Zoning will remain
the same for this area. This Developers Agreement is purely for ACS to begin construction on their facilities.
MOVED by Kemp, seconded by Gaskell, to approve the Developers Agreement with Liberty Business Park for
Liberty Drive Extension. Motion carried 2-0.
5. Discussion and action regarding The Woods at Cathedral Point subdivision.
Jacobson explained that this is a continuation from the previous meeting where the Committee had two items
left to be addressed, which are private/public alleys and side yard setbacks. Jacobson explained that the City has
developed a checks and balance for administering site drainage during design process. This is not a code change,
but what, how, and the process. The baseline is similar to what was discussed previously with Veridian. Jacobson
and Fischer worked on preparing the pre-final document as shown tonight. Jacobson is viewing this process as
the norm moving forward instead of project specific as the proposed language and process would more than
likely occur with other projects.
Dan Day stated that the side yard language per the handout in the meeting is supported by them. This is very
similar to what his company does in other municipalities. Veridian is in support of the drainage aspect of the
language in the handout with regards to setbacks.
Chris Ehlers stated that Veridian is 51% in favor of public alleyways and 49% in favor of private alleyways. Final
plat will be provided in January of 2020. He explained that alleyways were straightened per discussions with
Public Works. Veridian can take photos of their equipment and of the streets to give Verona a better
understanding of how alleyways work in Madison. There is enough space in the right-of-way to have snow
storage. If the City maintains the alleyways, it is less of a burden for the Homeowner Association (HOA). The cost
for HOA dues is $120- $140 per year. All the driveways are cleared of snow per the individual homeowners.
Gaskell asked how many units are on the alleyways. Ehlers stated that 75% of the HOA dues are paid by each
residential unit. The multi-family is a different percentage. Veridian funds the HOA to help with turnover and a
reserve fund to maintain common areas. This would be similar to The Woods at Cathedral Point.
Kemp asked what the width of the alleyway is. Day replied the alleys have twenty-six (26) feet for right-of-way
with fifteen (15) feet of asphalt.
Jacobson passed out a handout with the pros and cons of alleyways. The equipment needs are on the last page
with snow removal, hauling, brush collection, and leaf collection. The City only has one spreader with a center
salt agitator. Public Works would need a second one for the alley. Ideally, another truck with a spreader would
be of great help. Snow hauling is different using a bobcat as the loaders cannot turn in the area of the alley. The
operations require smaller equipment and a truck to haul snow out of the area.
Gaskell asked what the linear foot for alleyways is. Jacobson replied 600 and 800 linear foot for alleyways total.
55 property owners for the alleyways would benefit from this or the City would have to pay for this to be done
for 55 homes.
Gaskell stated that she believes the Mayor’s preference for public streets is due to some private roads going bad
and not being maintained with the complaints coming to the City and not to the owner of the road.
Ehlers asked if Veridian makes private alleys, what Veridian can see to support this decision for private alleys.
Jacobson explained the two main roads that were previously discussed are Prairie Way Boulevard and Prairie
Way Circle. These roads are not going to be the same as the alleyways that are proposed. These private roads
are a thoroughfare versus an alleyway. Kemp and Jacobson are supportive for the private alleyway. Ehlers
acknowledges that Public Works supports private alleyways.
MOVED by Kemp, seconded by Gaskell, that the Public Works Committee recommends to the Common Council
alleyways to be private for The Woods at Cathedral Point subdivision. Motion carried 2-0.
Jacobson stated that the setback discussion for drainage and elevations that are attached to the lot lines. There
is a process, standard and goal for what Public Works Committee is looking to have happen and this can be used
in other projects. This situation is specific to design build process of a subdivision by the same group. The design
build aspect of the Woods also allows facilitation for this project based on the lay of the land. Jacobson noted
this would not work well for the Westridge area.
Gaskell asked how utility companies would access the back of properties that are located near the southern
portion of the subdivision. Where are the utility easements on the rear lots? Will there be something in the side
yards to prevent people from planting items in these areas such as shrubs? Day stated that these properties
have utility easements, which permit utility companies ways to access the properties. Jacobson stated the only
people who would have access to these properties would be Alliant and other utilities. These agencies would
access the site by foot. The easements are noted on the plat, but not physically on the property.
Jacobson stated that number 1 of notes per the handout to be amended in the code. The City should have
language as to public access to rear lot lines. The physical access to the properties is by foot. There was a
discussion about the concerns from Gateway Subdivision and property owners adding retaining walls in the side
yard setback creating a one (1) foot clear setback.
Ehlers stated that Veridian has a landscape package for their property. Additional landscaping would have to be
approved by Veridian to comment on them with a focus on drainage and other impediments. The HOA will take
over the Architectural Review for landscaping and have made people remove landscaping if it is not done
correctly. Veridian is well aware of these concerns in other subdivisions and enforces the setback requirements.
No action is requested on the handout regarding language changes to setback requirements and drainage as
Legal needs to review the information. The City will use this document or something similar for reviews.
6. Discussion regarding on-going public works and utility projects.
Jacobson stated that CTH M has all paving done for the northern section. It will be opened for full traffic by
November 15. There is some median work, signals, testing, and lighting that still need to be addressed prior to
opening all lanes for traffic.
Kemp asked about Verona Road and CTH PD. Jacobson stated it will be opened up to full capacity by the end of
November with the side roads still underway.
Jacobson will discuss with Touchett what was determined for Veridian.
7. MOVED by Kemp, seconded by Gaskell, to adjourn at 6:01pm. Motion carried 2-0.
Note: These minutes were prepared by Theran Jacobson, Director of Public Works. These minutes are based
on the notes of the recorder and are subject to change at a subsequent meeting.

PUBLIC WORKS/SEWER & WATER COMMITTEE
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
1. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Kemp at 5:20pm.
2. Roll Call: Present: Chad Kemp, Sarah Gaskell. Evan Touchett arrived at 5:40pm. Also present: Theran Jacobson,
Public Works Director; Katherine Holt, Community Development Specialist; Carla Fischer, City Engineer /
AECOM; Brian Munson, Vandewalle and Associates; Chris Elhers, Veridian Homes; Dan Day, D’Onofrio Kottke
and Associates; Mike Wagner, Brown and Caldwell; Jim Ferolie, Verona Press.
3. MOVED by Gaskell, seconded by Kemp, to approve the minutes of the September 9, 2019 meeting of the Public
Works/ Sewer and Water Committee. Motion carried 2-0.
4. MOVED by Kemp, seconded by Gaskell, to recommend approval of the agreement with Dane County for
construction of CTH PD between Woods Road and CTH M. Motion carried 2-0.
Jacobson gave a brief overview that the agreement with Dane County is to reduce the cost for expansion of CTH
PD. This agreement between City of Verona and Dane County is for cost sharing of the design and construction
elements for the expansion of CTH PD between Woods Road and CTH M. The City of Verona is the lead agency
for the project and will administer the project. The cost split is based upon specific construction elements such
as asphaltic pavement, lighting, landscaping, pavement markings, etc. The cost for City of Verona is estimated to
be $1,324,000 and Dane County is $881,000. City attorney has reviewed the agreement and has no concerns.
Jacobson noted certain elements of the agreement are 50-50 and other elements are different cost shares
depending on the element. Overall, Dane County is a good partner. This agreement is the similar to the CTH M
project. November 2020 is the target for completion.
5. MOVED by Kemp, seconded by Gaskell, for amendment number 2 for intergovernmental agreement for final
design of CTH M from Prairie Hill Road to Cross Country Road. Motion carried 2-0.
Jacobson explained the amendments for the two items. This is an agreement to clean up the language to match
what was completed. Amendment No. 2 of the IGA is for the costs of two of the additional design services
required to complete the CTH M reconstruction project included in Amendment No. 1 that was approved on
September 25, 2017. Amendment No. 1 identified the tasks but the costs were not included. The design cost is
split between Dane County Highway, City of Madison, and City of Verona. The additional cost for the City of
Verona is $53,035 for a total of $420,000.
Costs included in Amendment No. 2 are as follows:
• Value engineering (VE) analysis
• Westbound underpass design
Gaskell asked how to travel westbound for the underpass.
Jacobson stated that someone traveling westbound would have to exit CTH PD (like a freeway) east of CTH M to
go westbound after the intersection of CTH M. If the exit is missed vehicles cannot continue westbound on CTH
PD at the intersection of CTH M.
6. MOVED by Gaskell, seconded by Kemp, for amendment number 1 for project 2016 – 118.2, Wastewater Master
Plan Phase II. Motion carried 2-0.
Amendment No.1 for the wastewater master plan was to perform additional tasks not included in the original
contract. The additional work is to properly incorporate the east basin and to evaluate a relief alternative for the
Eastview Heights and Military Ridge sewershed.
Ultimately these two tasks decreased future pipe sizes of the eastside interceptor and other areas throughout
the system, saving money during future design and construction phases.
The original contract was $95,961 and the cost for Amendment No. 2 is $9,250.
Jacobson explained the amendment and showed the locations on a map. Instead of upsizing existing
infrastructure, the City could add a relief sewer on Old CTH PB. This is a bypass sewer known as a relief. This
means spending more money up front on engineering, but saving money in the long run on construction.
7. Discussion regarding Project 2018-114, Lincoln Street storm water facility.
Jacobson introduced Mike Wagner from Brown and Caldwell who is the lead for designing the Lincoln Street
stormwater facility. This is a water quality project for the Downtown area watershed. The City was able to get
the Lincoln Street stream classified as an intermittent stream, which will help with a full diversion of the stream
to maximize volume of stormwater runoff that could be treated.
Wagner showed a map and site plan of the area. He did hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for water surface
elevations. Their recommendation is to create a diversion berm from the open channel to divert water into the
facility for water quality treatment. The high flow events would bypass the berm releasing it downstream to
ensure that flooding would not happen up stream of the diversion. At the diversion the water surface elevation
is anticipated to increase but on City property with no adverse impacts.
Gaskell asked if the berms are walkable? Is the City thinking about having a classroom lab in this location similar
to Whalen Road pond as is it more accessible for schools?
Jacobson stated this berm is not walkable at the diversion berm area, but others in the City are walkable. The
City can add information signs to the Lincoln Street pond similar to Whalen Pond.
Gaskell asked if the pond will be wet all the time as this will be a concern for Hometown Days and infestation of
mosquitoes.
Jacobson stated that the water in the pond will stay there and not be aerated. The area used for Hometown
Days will not change.
Wagner stated that the flow from the channel will have a constant flow rate as well as wind to ward off
mosquitos. There is always a perception that the mosquitos will come from the pond, but it won’t be the case.
As part of this project, the City will have to do thermal mitigation to not affect the trout populations, which
could be included in the informational signs as well as mosquitos.
Wagner showed the tables that contained the number of factors evaluated for the size of the pond for
population removal. Total suspended solids and Total phosphorus (TP) were used for the evaluation. TP has no
chemical treatment associated with this pond.
5:40 pm Touchett arrives
Sustainability plan would include phosphorus options and improvements.
Jacobson noted this is programmed for 2021 construction
8. Discussion regarding the Woods at Cathedral Point subdivision. Jacobson reviewed the location of the
property. After presenting at the Plan Commission on September 3, 2019 input was requested from the PWC on
the following concerns:
• Side yard setbacks
• Kettle drainage
• Private / Public Alleys
• Ice Age trail coordination
Ice Age trail coordination:
Chris Ehlers from Veridian stated that Ice Age Trail coordination is underway. An agreement was made regarding
prairie burns and making sure no structures will be placed in the backyard. A berm will be placed on Veridian
property between the trail. Sod on the berm with a natural break from the prairie.
Touchett asked if water will go away from the trail to drain towards the roads.
Ehlers confirmed that the water will go to the front yard, but does it naturally today. Parkland dedication to the
Ice Age Trail is being proposed. Nothing new will be drained into the existing kettle.
Gaskell asked if the trail head would become bigger to allow for more parking. There is a concern that people
would park their cars interior to the neighborhood to get to the trail.
Dan Day from D’Onofrio Kottke and Associates stated that the trail’s frontage along CTH M will double. There
should be more foot traffic from the west for the trail.
Kettle drainage:
Day stated that the existing flow out of the kettle will use storm sewer pipes under CTH M by Range Trail. There
would be no additional water in the kettle as the pipes carry out the over flow from the pond. The water from
the multifamily areas would be routed to the west. There is a low point at some location on Range Trail. The
existing Cathedral Point pond has a routing point from this property to Cathedral Point pond.
Gaskell stated that a stormwater facility should be a facility and not parkland per Plan Commission comments.
What is the open space to the east of the stormwater management pond?
Day stated that the design allows for preservation of the existing tree lined area by the stormwater
management pond and are in discussions with the Parks Committee to have a portion of it count towards
parkland.
Private/public alleys:
Gaskell stated that private alleys will not occur.
Day stated that they are open to either options; private or public. The alleys will be built to public standards
even if it is private. 26-feet of right-of-way is proposed. This is intentionally done to keep it from looking as
though people can park on-street. The pavement sectionhas a ribbon curb. Traffic is two-way.
Jacobson stated that City staff prefers the private alleys. The City would need different equipment to assist with
snow removal if the alleys are public. Jacobson noted that the perception of private roads from Prairie Way Blvd
and North Edge Trail cannot be used as comparison as those roads are private that connect to public roads and
have connectivity to other properties and destinations in the City. Alleys are destinations for individual
properties and provide no connectivity for the City transportation system.
Brian Munson from Vandewall stated the alleys will be for two-way traffic as the turning movements are needed
for the turns similar to a parking lot. The alleyways as two-way traffic will re-enforce that it is a low speed area
and will slow people down.
Gaskell stated that a private alley would have homeowner association (HOA) snow removal by using a private
company. Would they have their own garbage service? Snow removal for an HOA is typically a terrible idea.
Jacobson noted Waste Management loads everyone on one side. We would need different equipment to work
down the alley.
Day pointed out that the streets are designed as straight through roads instead of the original design of roads
with curved ends.
Ehlers stated that Veridian has a requirement for the HOA to hire a private company to manage the funds that
was originally established by them to ensure that there isn’t any mismanagement of funds. To date, all of their
subdivisions have had enough money to service the private roads and other areas the HOA owns. Public alleys
are shown on the plat right now.
Gaskell asked what equipment is needed if it is public? What is the cost of that equipment? Who is getting the
complaint?
Jacobson agreed to look into the cost of the equipment needed to service the alleys.
Touchett stated that if the City has any private roads, the snow removal should include driveway clearing.
Side yard setbacks:
Day explained that five-foot side yard setbacks have been done with Veridian properties since the 1990s. This is
edge of house to edge of house. From a drainage perspective, four to five lots coming together at one point is a
drainage problem. A large block was shown for this subdivision that shows the drainage for these properties,
which flows throughout the site instead of going to one spot similar to other areas in the City. Inlets are
proposed in certain location on the site as these are identified as future snow melt concerns.
Jacobson discussed some process language on how to do this to make sure the lots are graded appropriately,
information is going to the inspectors, and lowest elevations are verified by the house construction process.
Each situation is different for the drainage issues, such as Jenna Drive concentrating into one spot. The
Committee has not seen the draft language.
Fischer asked Day if the grade between the lots prior to building will be raised? Where the lot lines don’t match
up what occurs?
Day responded that no the grade would not get raised prior to building as the channels would get destroyed
while things are under construction. The lots would sheet drain except at the house location where it will be
higher.
Gaskell stated that the only reason to get the five-foot setback is to get more density. There are utilities running
through the back. Gateway had a concern with retaining walls that were installed without approval and had a
utility pipe underneath the walls. It was narrow to begin with and is now two-feet wide. The City had to remove
the walls to fix the drainage for the pond area.
Ehlers stated that the five-foot setbacks will help with the variety of products and have $300,000 homes.
6:15 pm Kemp left.
Touchett wants rowhouses instead of roofs closer together.
Gaskell asked if we promise that these homes will stay at $300,000? Five-foot setbacks are in place are a no. She
would consider the proposed language to see if the setbacks and drainage would work.
Ehlers wants to build the first phase in April. Veridian can back the price. We have met with the school, fire, and
Mayor.
Touchett asked if any of these are rowhouses? He is inclined to allow for twinhomes with smaller setbacks.
Muson explained that rowhouses and twinhouses have different building code requirements. It is more cost
effective to build twinhouses than rowhouses.
9. MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Gaskell, to adjourn at 6:25pm. Motion carried 2-0.
Note: These minutes were prepared by Theran Jacobson, Director of Public Works. These minutes are based
on the notes of the recorder and are subject to change at a subsequent meeting.

temporary drainage ditch, and the box culvert shall be extended by the Developer to the
City’s storm water facility on Outlot 3.
In its sole discretion, the City may withhold the issuance of occupancy permits for
proposed development upon the Third Amendment Lots until such time as the
Developer’s obligations related to the Public Improvements are completed by the
Developer to the City’s reasonable satisfaction.
4. Timing of Public Improvements. The parties anticipate that construction of the
Public Improvements shall commence on or about October 29, 2019, and shall be
substantially completed on or before July 31, 2020, subject to Unavoidable Delays as
that term is defined below. Notwithstanding the above, the City acknowledges that
surface paving for the roadway may not be completed until August 30, 2021. As used
herein, the term “Unavoidable Delay(s)” shall mean a material delay beyond the
reasonable control of the Developer caused by labor strikes, lock-outs, labor troubles,
industry-wide inability to procure materials, failure of power, extraordinary restrictive
governmental laws or regulations (such as gas rationing), riots, war, military or usurped
governmental power, acts of terrorism, sabotage, material fire or other material
casualty. However, notwithstanding the preceding sentences of this Section 4, in the
event the Public Improvements are not completed within eighteen (18) months of the
date of this Third Amendment, the City may draw upon the Surety Bond described in
Section 9 and complete the Public Improvements at the Developer’s expense.
5. Contractors. The Developer may contract with contractors (the “Contractors”) of
its choice for the Public Improvements. The Contractors shall be subject to approval by
the City, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Developer shall pay
the total cost of the Public Improvements pursuant to the contracts between the
Developer and the Contractors. The Developer shall use its best efforts to expeditiously
administer and enforce the contracts with the Contractors. The Developer agrees to
provide the City with copies for review.
6. Payment of City Costs. The Developer shall pay to the City, within thirty (30)
days of billing, the City’s administrative fees, planning fees, engineering fees, and
attorney’s fees in connection with this Agreement and/or the Public Improvements.
Interest of one and one-half percent (1½%) per month shall be charged on invoices not
paid within thirty days of billing. The City shall provide detailed invoices of the City’s
3
costs to the Developer no less frequently than monthly.
7. Project Costs. The Developer shall verify and provide all quantities and costs for
the installation of Public Improvements for GASB 34 reporting requirements.
Additionally, the Developer shall obtain an original lien waiver(s) from the Contractor(s)
for the labor and materials for which payment is requested upon delivery of the payment
to the Contractor(s), and the Developer shall provide the City with a copy of such
original lien waiver(s).
8. Fees.
A. The Developer agrees to pay applicable Madison Metropolitan Sewerage
District (MMSD) Interceptor Connection Charges (ICC) and Wastewater
Treatment Plant Connection Charges (TPCC) to the City prior to the construction
of any sanitary sewer to serve the Third Amendment Lots based on actual
charges provided by MMSD. The fees are estimated to be $64,505.75. See
Exhibit B.
B. The Developer agrees to pay the City of Verona Water Impact Fee and
Sanitary Sewer Connection Fee. The Developer agrees to pay the fees that are
in effect prior to the City of Verona substantially accepting the sewer and water
improvements. The Surety Bond shall not be reduced until after the City of
Verona connection charges and impact fees have been paid in full. The fees are
estimated to be $51,966.17. See Exhibit C.
C. The Developer agrees to pay the City of Verona Parkland Fee-in-Lieu of
Dedication fee at the non-residential rate of $1,000 per acre. The fee is
estimated to be $19,130, and shall be paid no later than July 31, 2020.
9. Surety Bond. To secure all payments and performance obligations required of
the Developer as stated in this Third Amendment, the Developer, upon execution of this
Third Amendment, shall provide to the City a Surety Bond (the “Bond”) in the form
attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit D in the initial amount of 120% of
the estimated cost of all required Public Improvements. The public improvement
estimate is included as Exhibit E. The amount of the Bond may be reduced from time to
time in amounts equal to the value of the Public Improvements which have been
installed, completed, and accepted by the City or shall be increased in the event of
delay in the installation of the Public Improvements and the escalation of costs. In no
event shall the amount of the Bond be reduced below the aggregate total estimated cost
of the Public Improvements not yet installed or accepted plus 10%. The Bond shall
benefit the City and shall be conditioned upon and guarantee to the City the
performance by the Developer of its obligations under this Agreement. The amount of
the Surety Bond is calculated as follows:
4
