Updates & Week of Oct. 14 Meetings of Interest for District 2

District 2 Updates & Meetings of Interest

October 16 Community Meeting at The Beacon

The Beacon is hosting its second community meeting of the year on Wednesday, October 16th, from 6:00 – 7:00 pm at The Beacon, 615 E. Washington Ave. Beacon staff will lead the meeting, presenting a summary of their operations and services in support of the day resource center for those experiencing homelessness, as well as taking input from attendees. All are invited.

N. Henry Street to Close on Oct. 19 for Evans Scholarship House Event

The UW Evans Scholarship House at 141 Langdon St. is hosting an open house and dedication ceremony for their new building on Saturday, Oct. 19. The 500 block of N. Henry Street (between E. Gilman and Langdon Streets) is expected to be closed from 7am until 3pm for the event. For information contact shell@wgaesf.org.

Update on Lyric II and Madison Youth Arts Center Construction

Stone House Development has completed pile driving for their construction site along E. Washington. They are building a tower very similar to the Lyric on the same block with 3 stories of commercial with apartments above and a parking ramp behind. The Madison Youth Arts Center that will be on E. Mifflin and behind the new parking ramp, should complete their pile driving by about Sept. 16, assuming the weather cooperates.

Update on Salvation Army Redevelopment Proposal

 

At their Oct. 10 meeting, The Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood Association Council voted not to support or oppose the Salvation Army's redevelopment proposal for the 600 block of E. Washington/E. Mifflin. They did draft a set of suggested conditions of approval should the proposal move forward and will be sending that list, along with the TLNA Steering Committee report, to the City. Visit the TLNA Development website for information. So far, these city committees are scheduled to consider the redevelopment:

 

• Urban Design Commission - Oct. 16 (see UDC agenda below)
• Plan Commission - Oct. 28

Later in November/December, Common Council and committees are expected to consider the requested $1 million award from the City's Affordable Housing Fund that would support the affordable housing component of the proposal. The Dane County Board of Supervisors is also expected to consider funding for the affordable housing component through their budgeting process. If you have input on the proposal, feel free to email me. I plan to share all input with my fellow alders, the Mayor's office, and city departments.

 

Oct. 21 Neighborhood Meeting on Langdon Street Development Proposal

 

As District 2 Alder, I am hosting a neighborhood meeting to discuss a development proposal on Langdon Street. All are invited to attend, including nearby District 8 neighbors. Core Spaces (formerly Core Campus) is proposing an apartment building on the site of the recently demolished "The Langdon" apartments at 126 Langdon St. The proposed building will have 5 stories along Langdon with 7 stories behind. The Langdon Street section would extend into the former parking lot that was between The Langdon and Alpha Chi Omega while the taller rear section would be approximately in the footprint of the demolished building. Plans are for about 124 apartments with 300+ beds and 5th floor rooftop amenities, including a swimming pool. There would be parking for 20 cars underneath. Meeting details:

 

Monday, Oct. 21, 7:00-8:30pm

The Pyle Center
702 Langdon Street
 

Final Round of Brush Collection Begins Monday, October 14

The Streets Division will begin the final guaranteed round of brush collection of the year on Monday, October 14, 2019. Residents who wish to utilize the curbside brush collection service this year should have their brush to the curb prior to Oct. 14. Placing brush to the curb after October 14 risks it not being collected until regular brush collection operations begin again in the spring of 2020.

Brush Collection Guidelines

When placing brush out for collection, be sure to have the cut ends all facing the same direction and piles should be four feet away from obstructions like fire hydrants and street signs. Brush piles should be kept separate from yard waste piles. Brush collection and yard waste collection are different operations. Piles of brush and yard waste mixed together will not be picked up.

 

Pickup Schedule Map and Drop-off Sites

Residents who wish to minimize the length of time it sits at the curb should use the Pickup Schedule map on the Streets Division's brush website. Madison residents and taxpayers can also bring one load of a brush a day to either Streets Division drop-off site.

Community Meeting on F-35s at Truax Air National Guard Base

 

From our WI State Representative Chris Taylor (Madison Aldermanic District 2 is entirely within Wisconsin Assembly District 76):

On Thursday, October 17th, join us at the Goodman Community Center Brassworks Building from 6:30 to 8 PM to voice your concerns about the proposal to base new F-35 fighter jets at the Truax Air National Guard base at the Dane County Regional Airport. We will have fact sheets and information about this proposal available, as well as comment cards for people to send their comments to the Air Force. 

When: Thursday, October 17th, 6:30-8 PM

Where: Goodman Community Center, Brassworks Building, 
Large Community Room, 214 Waubesa St, Madison

Co-Hosted by:  

State Rep. Chris Taylor 

Madison Common Council Alder Marsha Rummel

Community Advocate and Activist Brandi Grayson

 

Online comments can be submitted here. Comments can also be directed to Ramon Ortiz by email, by mail at NGB/A4AM, 3501 Fetchet Avenue, Joint Base Andrews, MD  20762-5157 or by phone at 240-612-7042.

 

City Budget Update

 

As you've heard, the City is in the midst of budget season. I am attending as many Finance Committee meetings as possible, although I do not sit on that committee, where the Executive Budget (submitted by the Mayor) has been presented and discussed. The Capital Budget Finance Committee hearings are complete, as are Finance Committee amendments to the Capital budget. Finance Committee amendments to the Executive Operating Budget will be considered at their Oct. 21 meeting. Starting on Nov. 12, Common Council will begin its consideration of both budgets, including Finance Committee amendments and any amendments from the floor.

 

The budgeting process and the budget itself are quite complex, but there is a great resource for understanding what types of expenditures and activities are contained in both the Capital and Operating Budgets, as well as how they evolve through the process: https://www.cityofmadison.com/budget. Just to get an idea of proposed expenditures, the 2020 Capital Budget will end up being on the order of $170 million with the 2020 Operating Budget totaling about $635 million.

 

Proposed Wheel Tax

As you've heard, on the revenue side the mayor is proposing a $40 per vehicle wheel tax that is drawing a lot of attention. That proposal may or may not evolve through the budget process. A wheel tax is regressive and is generally not how we should be raising revenue, but if it is not approved there will be an approximately $8 million shortfall in the Operating budget - tough choices would have to be made beyond those that are already forced upon us due to the GOP-controlled state legislature's strangling of municipalities' ability to raise revenue. I'll post more information on the budget and wheel tax proposal as it progresses. I welcome your input.

 

District 8 Alder Vacancy: Application Deadline Noon, Oct. 14

 

UW campus area Alder Avra Reddy notified Council Leadership of her resignation from the Madison Common Council as of Sept. 30, 2019. The Common Council President oversees the application process to fill the vacancy. Applications are reviewed by the Common Council Executive Committee, which makes a recommendation to the Common Council. The Common Council then appoints the District 8 Alder to serve until the next regularly scheduled elections (April 2020).

REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS

 

Agenda Item 3

622 1/2 E Gorham St - Exterior Alteration to a Designated Madison Landmark (Bernard Hoover Boathouse) - Replacement of windows; 2nd Ald. Dist.

Note: I agree with city staff's recommendation to approve this COA. From the staff report -
The applicant is requesting a Certificate of Appropriateness to replace 35 nonhistoric windows on the building. The current windows were installed during a 1995 renovation of the building and completed per the COA that the Landmarks Commission issued. Staff has completed extensive research on the evolution of the building and how the window patterns have changed over time. After discussion with the Preservation Planner and Amy Scanlon, and architect with the City, the current proposed muntin profile alters the configuration of some of the existing windows, but does so in a way that appears to be more historically accurate. All of the windows will have a wood interior and aluminum exterior.

The applicant is applying to open an establishment at the former Roast location with 50% food sales and 50% alcohol sales, thereby qualifying as a restaurant. In this area where alcohol over-consumption has created many problems for businesses, MPD, and the City, over the last several years MPD and the area alders have not supported applications for new taverns and have not supported new restaurants that serve alcohol until bar time. For this reason, I will not be supporting this application if it requests alcohol sales after 10pm Sunday through Thursday and after 11pm Sat/Sun.
