Development News from the latest meeting
Stone Ridge Estates West Final Plat Re-approved Following Timeline Lapse
The commission reviewed the final plat for Stone Ridge Estates West, which creates 10 single-family residential lots on approximately 3.88 acres. The preliminary plat was approved in January 2022 and the final plat in September 2022, but the applicant did not record the final plat within the required timeline, necessitating re-approval. A change involves two lots (previously designated for a temporary stormwater pond) now being buildable due to an existing pond accommodating stormwater for the adjacent Comet Ridge development. Lot 8's proposed width of 40 feet does not meet the current minimum requirement, but council had previously granted approval for this reduction in 2022. Staff recommended approval of the final plat subject to conditions [cite: 106, 118-127, 133-135, 138-139, 142].
Foxport Extraterritorial Final Plat Approved for Grand Chute Development
The commission approved the Foxport extraterritorial final plat, located in the town of Grand Chute. The plat covers just under nine acres and is proposed to be divided into 22 lots and one outlot for single-family residential development. The pre-plat was approved by the Plan Commission in February and by the Common Council in March. Staff recommended approval of the final plat after the applicant made necessary revisions according to city ordinances [cite: 25, 37-39, 45, 48-49, 51].
City Advances Plans for New Northside Fire Station with Land Acquisition Option
The commission received an update on a proposed acquisition of public land for a future Northside fire station. An option agreement allows the city to purchase up to 3.5 acres at the northeast corner of Evergreen and Mead for $1. This land is part of the proposed Wilden Portfolio Park plat. The agreement provides up to five years to finalize the site's geometry, with intentions to work with parks and recreation, the fire chief, and the development team to ensure operational efficiency and consideration for surrounding development. No action was required at this meeting, but the certified survey map and acquisition will eventually return to the Plan Commission for final action. Analysis suggests this is a prime location for the station, and current plans with Station Six and the new Station Seven aim to serve the north side effectively for decades, though future growth might necessitate additional stations further north in 30-50 years [cite: 143-156, 162-171].
Canyon Ridge Preliminary Plat Approved with Access Conditions
The commission considered the preliminary plat for Canyon Ridge, a 5.2-acre development comprising eight residential lots and five outlots. The proposed lots meet R1B district requirements. Concerns were raised about lot access, with confirmation that an approved access easement would be established on the west side of the property through a private driveway within a 20-foot easement, to be located on land being purchased by the developer from the adjacent property owner. The motion to approve passed five to zero [cite: 54, 64-67, 71-95, 100-101, 104].
