Updates & Week of March 8 Meetings of Interest for District 2

Special Note: Due to determination by the WI Elections Commission, alders running for reelection in the April 2021 election are advised not to use city resources to communicate with constituents using mass emails and posts. For that reason, I am sending this update from my personal email and via non-city social media. Until this interpretation of the rules change or I am re-elected, I'll be sending mass communications via these means. Please continue to use district2@cityofmadison.com to contact me with input and questions on city issues.

Plan Commission Consideration of 126 Langdon Proposal on March 8

 

On March 8 Plan Commission will consider Core Spaces' new proposal for the Hub II development at 126 Langdon St. Since an earlier version of the redevelopment was rejected by Plan Commission, Core Spaces has altered the proposal in several ways, including a redesign of the Langdon Street section, two additional delivery parking stalls, and a reduction in bedrooms from 376 to 351. The below ground floors in the front have also recently been redesigned, including a reconfiguration of the parking area that changes the potential number of parking and moped stalls. Proposal details and other materials can be found here, including the Campus Area Neighborhood Association's steering committee report.

 

Plan Commission will be considering several aspects of the proposal:

1. Final plans for a site previously approved for demolition of a residential building with no proposed use;
2. A conditional use in the Downtown Residential 2 (DR2) District for a multi-family dwelling with more than eight (8) dwelling units;
3. A conditional use to allow outdoor recreation; and
4. A conditional use to construct two additional stories in Area F of the "Additional Heights Area Map" in MGO Section 28.071(2)(b).

If you would like to provide input to Plan Commission, you can email pccomments@cityofmadison.com, but you are also welcome to email me. Meeting participation details are listed below in "City Meetings of Interest", as is a link to the meeting's agenda, also available here.

 

Recording of March 1 Community Q & A on Proposed Housing Changes to Zoning

On Monday, March 1, from 5:30pm-7:30pm, there was a Community Q & A Session regarding the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments related to allowing greater residential densities and adjusting conditional use thresholds. You can watch a recording of that session here.

Planning Division Director Heather Stouder and Zoning Administrator Matt Tucker answered many excellent questions from residents who attended. There was both support and opposition expressed with opposition focusing mostly on situations when opportunities for neighborhood input would be less than in the past. From what I understand, city staff is exploring options for assuring that alders and neighbors are notified of development proposals more regularly whether these proposed changes are enacted or not.

• Read the proposed amendments here

• Read the Staff Report/Memo here

• Explore the city's zoning map here, including the ability to see the parcels where the changes are proposed.

Read my earlier post about how those could impact District 2 here. Note that the proposed changes are expect to considered by Plan Commission on March 22 and by Common Council on March 30. If you have questions about the proposed changes, feel free to contact me.

 

 

Proposed Metro Service Changes Adjusted

 

Metro Transit and the Transportation Commission held a public hearing to review and discuss service adjustments proposed for later in 2021. After hearing public feedback, staff have changed some portions of the proposal, including removing the increased frequency of the Route 2, and instead reinstating a new Route 28 to better serve residents in the Eken Park neighborhood. Commission members will review these proposals at their next meeting on Wednesday, March 10. Please continue to provide feedback on the proposal. Complete information can be found here.

 

 

From Engineering: Gates of Heaven 2021 Restoration Projects

 

Update on Floor Replacement Project

The contractor removed the pine flooring and discovered tapered shims that were concealing a 1 ½" sag at the center span of the existing joists. A structural engineer was consulted and has indicated that a structural repair to reinforce the existing joists is needed. This work requires that the altar platform be carefully removed and reinstalled. Because this is a local landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Landmarks Commission and the State Historic Preservation Office have been informed of the structural repair work. Building Inspection is currently reviewing the plans and work will resume sometime in the next two weeks.

 

Exterior Restoration Project

The proposed restoration work will repair the stone and restore the existing windows and doors. The work is technical and requires specific methods to complete, but when complete, Gates of Heaven should be weather tight and ready to serve for another 150 years. Approvals from the Landmarks Commission and the State Historic Preservation Office have been secured. The exterior restoration work will likely begin the week of March 15. Parks crews will be on site during the scaffolding set up to do some landscape trimming.  The scaffolding will be covered with a white material to provide a sun, wind, and rain screen in order to ensure that the mortar sets properly. The contractor will also set up a security fence around the building work site and the material storage area located in the parking lot. The restoration project is planned to be completed by June 8, 2021.

Save the Date: TLNA Workshop on Equity in Generational Wealth & Homeownership

 

A great workshop "Pay It Forward: Generational Wealth, Homeownership, and You" is coming your way, hosted by the Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood Association, on March 27 (Saturday) from 10:30 am-noon. This workshop is a great opportunity to learn about and join in a growing effort to make the Madison community more equitable for all. Attendees will learn from our guest presenter about how generational weight accumulates, and how laws and policies have systematically boosted wealth-building for white people, while blocking opportunities for wealth-building among people of color. 

The workshop is Virtual, and FREE. Stay tuned for a zoom link coming soon. Please register your attendance at this link.

Below are some pertinent agenda items from city committees that are meeting this week. If you click on meeting "Details" below, you will find participation and viewing options, and a link to the full meeting agenda. If you click on a item from within an agenda, you will see all documents that relate to that item.

 

I appreciate hearing from you on any items on which you have a particular interest or concern.

____________________________

 

Finance Committee: Details

4:30 pm, Monday, March 8, 2021

 

ITEMS TO BE CONSIDERED

 

Agenda Item 3

2020 Police Department Donation Report.

Note: See report here.

 

Agenda Item 4

SUBSTITUTE - City of Madison Sponsorship of Sustain Dane programming in 2021 and authorization to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with Sustain Dane.

Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Sustain Dane for continued collaboration on shared sustainability interests. The MOU covers the years 2021-2023 with an option of a 3-year renewal for 2024-2026. The City will provide $40,000 annually to the program. Funding for the 2021 payment is included in the 2021 Adopted Capital Budget for Engineering - Facilities Management as GO Borrowing under the Sustainability Improvements program (MUNIS 10563). Payments beyond 2021 are subject to appropriations in future years. No additional appropriation is required at this time.

 

Agenda Item 5

Authorizing a new contract with Pellitteri Waste Systems for the sorting, processing, and marketing of recyclables collected by the City of Madison Streets Division and that the contract shall be for five years.

Note: Details here.

 

Agenda Item 6

Authorizing an inter-governmental agreement for COVID-19 Vaccine administration support with Dane County Emergency Management. 

 

Agenda Item 8

Waiving license and permit fees for Public Passenger Services under Sections 11.06 (4)(a) , 11.06(5)(a) and 11.06(6)(a) of the Madison General Ordinances for the 2021 calendar year due to COVID-19 and other economic hardships

Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution would waive license and permit fees for Public Passenger Services through December 31, 2021. Public Passenger Service fees include a license for the business ($1,750 for a 2-year renewal), vehicle fees ($65 per vehicle), and driver's permits ($25 per driver). The anticipated revenue loss from waiving the business and vehicle fees is $5,000 and $11,000 respectively.
Fees from driver's permits averaged $19,000 per year in 2018 and 2019. However, 2020 saw fewer driver's permit applicants with fee revenues around $11,000. Assuming driver's permit application numbers similar to 2020, the estimated revenue loss from waiving all Public Passenger Service fees in 2021 is $27,000. These fees represent a general fund revenue source.
Additionally, the Madison Police Department conducts background checks on applicants for driver's permits, which includes an in-state check and an out-of-state check for any state the applicant has lived. Police is charged $7 for each in-state and out-of-state check. These costs will continue to be incurred to administer the driver's permit applications.

 

Agenda Item 13

Authorizing the City of Madison, on behalf of the Dane County Continuum of Care (CoC), to accept an ESG-CV second allocation award of up to $1,627,500 from the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration; authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute agreements with specific Dane County CoC agencies to provide services using the ESG-CV funds; and amending the Community Development Division's 2021 Adopted Operating Budget to reflect receipt of these funds.

 

Agenda Item 14

Approving the Amendment to the Project Plan for Tax Incremental District (TID) 36 (Capitol Gateway), City of Madison.

Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes a Third Project Plan Amendment for Tax Incremental District (TID) 36 (Capitol Gateway). This amendment highlights two projects, $7 million for the Public Market and $5 million for developer loans, which were included in the 2020 and 2019 Adopted Capital Budgets, respectively. No additional City appropriation is required with the adoption of this resolution.

Note: The below is from the Project Plan Amendments.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES

Public Market Amendment: In 2021, the City of Madison intends to begin construction of a Public Market at the corner of First Street and East Johnson Street. The City intends to provide a portion of the funding required to construct the Madison Public Market.

Total Public Market $7,000,000

Public / Private / Non-Profit Development Partnerships and Assistance 2021 Amendment: Where necessary and appropriate, the City may enter into partnerships with private or non-profit entities to provide assistance to development projects in compliance with the City's TIF policy, or the City may work with non-profit partners to provide assistance with land acquisition.

Total Public / Private / Non-Profit Development Partnerships and Assistance $5,000,000

 

Agenda Item 17

Amending portions of Madison General Ordinances Sections 28.063, 28.064, 28.065, 28.066, 28.067, 28.068, 28.074, 28.076, 28.084, 28.085, 28.087, 28.088, 28.089, and 28.097 to change the front yard setback, if it is less than 15 feet, from 0 feet to 5 feet to support a street tree canopy, and creating Madison General Ordinance 28.071(2)(e) to establish a Downtown Setback Exceptions Map.

DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS:  In zoning districts for which there is currently a 0' front of front yard setback required, this amendment increases the required setback to 5' in some cases. In instances where the distance between the curb and property line is greater than 15', the 0' required setback remains, but in instances where the distance between the curb and property line is less than 15 feet, buildings will need to be set back 5'. Thus, this amendment essentially eliminates 0' setbacks in places where there isn't sufficient space to support a street tree canopy, and will allow space for a wider variety of tree species, in many of the downtown and mixed-use districts where redevelopment is occurring.  These districts are:

• LMX, NMX, TSS, MXC, CC-T, CC (all of the Commercial and Mixed-Use Districts)
• DC, UMX (some Downtown Districts)
• TE, SE, EC, IL, IG (most of the Employment Districts)
• CI

Note: This amendment to the zoning ordinance creates a unique new trigger: In zoning districts with 0' setbacks, the ordinance will apply a new "if, then" setback requirement.  If distance between curb and property line is less than 15', then buildings shall be set back from the property line by 5'. Otherwise, 0' setback is still allowable. 0' is also allowable on downtown "flatiron" blocks. The ordinance change, of which I am a sponsor, is inspired by recommendations in the Urban Forestry Task Force Report. When the ordinance was introduced on Feb. 23, the Council received an email from the Executive Director of Smart Growth Greater Madison Inc. asking for additional committee referrals and sharing concerns about the potential to create an adverse impact on the values of property and discourage future redevelopment projects along commercial corridors. If you are interested in canopy trees and the impacts of changing front yard setbacks, please let me and the Plan Commission know at pccomments@cityofmadison.com know your thoughts. This item is also Wednesday's Urban Design Commission agenda item #2 (see below).

 

Agenda Item 18

Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into a Donation Agreement and a Developer's Agreement with the Madison Parks Foundation and Michael and Jocelyn Keiser for the Privately Funded Improvement of Glenway Golf Course.

The proposed scope is limited to the first level façades on both E. Washington Ave. and Baldwin Street. 

Note: I was unaware of this application until reading this UDC agenda, so am seeking more information from city staff and the applicant.
