For: 5, Against: 0, Absent: 2. Motion Passed. PUBLIC COMMENT Public comment was opened at 6:02 PM. Mary Heimbecker, 306 W 3rd street, would like to see ordinances related to the minimum size of new stores reviewed and adjusted to allow for more options to move into Waunakee. Public comment was closed at 6:04 PM. BUSINESS ITEMS 1 Presentation and Public Hearing Regarding the Proposed Creation of Tax Incremental District No. 10, the Proposed Boundaries of The District, and The Proposed Project Plan for the District* Todd Taves presented on the Proposed Creation of Tax Incremental District No. 10, the Proposed Boundaries of The District, and The Proposed Project Plan for the District. Following the presentation, the Public Hearing opened at 6:10 PM. Community Development Director Tim Semmann read aloud and answered some questions about TID 10 he received via e-mail. Mary Heimbecker, 306 W 3rd Street, spoke in opposition to TID 10 and believes those funds are not necessary for successful development. Gerry Ashmore, 114 South Street, spoke in opposition to TID 10 indicating that alternative options for development are not addressed in these plans so there is no way to know if the TID funds are truly necessary or if an alternative option exists. Linda Ashmore, 114 South Street, spoke in opposition to TID 10, echoed the comments of the previous two speakers, and believes that the funds being given to developers for projects, instead of the various taxing jurisdictions is not the right approach and negatively affects the taxpayers and schooling districts. Dennis Helt, 214 Kay Drive, spoke in opposition to TID 10. He echoed the first 3 speakers and is concerned the quick growth of business development is too much for Waunakee. Al Dassow, 828 S. Meadowbrook Lane, spoke in support of TID 10 and his belief is that it should be approved, but has concerns about the initial financial projections that were given. Robert McPherson, 1703 Alexandria Court, spoke in opposition, but agrees that there is not enough information on other funding options for infrastructure when TID’s are proposed, and believes since previous TIDs in this area did not encourage development previously, that a new one will be the same. Public Hearing was closed at 6:34 PM. 2 Consideration and Possible Action on a “Resolution Establishing the Boundaries of and Approving the Project Plan for Tax Incremental District No. 10.” After Discussion, Motion by Tricia Braun, second by Kristin Runge to approve the Resolution Establishing the Boundaries of and Approving the Project Plan for Tax Incremental District No. 10. For: 4, Against: 1, Absent: 2. Motion Passed. TABLED None. ADJOURN Motion by Kristin Runge, second by Abigail Zellner to adjourn at 6:57 PM. For: 5, Against: 0, Absent: 2. Motion Passed. Respectfully Submitted, ____________________________________ Kylie West, Executive Assistant
