NEW BUSINESS

1 Discuss and Take Action on a request by High Hill LLC for Approval of the Specific
Implementation Plan for 200 Multifamily Units in the Heritage Hills Subdivision
High Hill, LLC is requesting Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) approval for Heritage Hills
Apartments, a 200-unit residential development on lot 88 of the Heritage Hills neighborhood.
The addition of 200 housing units to this area of the Village is expected to have an impact to
the public street network in this area prior to the completion of improvements to STH 19/113
near Division Street; therefore; staff recommends that before approval of occupancy permits for
the multifamily development (and any future residential phases) the recommended
improvements listed in the Traffic Impact Analysis and the Developer Agreement for the WIS
19/113 intersection with Division Street shall be completed. Motion Willems, second by
Phelps, to approve the High Hill, LLC SIP that would allow the construction of 200 multi-
family units in the Heritage Hills Subdivision subject to all outstanding staff concerns being
addressed to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer & Utilities Manager and Village Board
approval of the efficiency size ordinance amendment. Further, that said approval is conditioned
upon a final site plan being submitted to the Village that addresses outstanding staff concerns
prior to the issuance of a building permit for the project. Motion carried 6-0.
2 Discussion/Recommendation on a Request for Annexation of ~27 Acres of Land Owned
by Statz Family Partnership LLP, 6101 Hogan Road from the Town of Westport to the
Village of Waunakee
This lot, located at the SW corner of the intersection of Hogan Road and STH 19-113, is home
to the Carl F. Statz & Sons implement business. The business operations occupy approximately
12 acres of the southerly portion of the site. The proposed use for the northerly portion of this
site is not yet known, but the comprehensive plan shows this area as future Business Park. Per
Section 133-128 of the Village Code, the land will be annexed into the Village and placed in
the A-1 Agricultural/Holding District for zoning. Further, the Village and the property owner
will execute an annexation agreement to address statutory payments to the Town of Westport
and the future construction of public improvements to the property when it is developed.
Motion Thomas, second by Malich, to recommend approval of the Statz Family Partnership,
LLP annexation request at 6101 Hogan Road from the Town of Westport to the Village of
Waunakee, with the land being placed in the A-1 Agricultural/Holding District for zoning.
Motion carried 6-0.
