Half Marathon Course

Madison Mini Marathon To Impact Streets on July 23

The Annual Madison Mini-Marathon and 5K Race will impact downtown streets on Saturday, July 23 with setup for the race impacting some streets on Friday, July 22. The primary impact in District 2 will be the first part of the Mini-Marathon course early on Saturday morning. The Mini-Marathon course starts at the corner of Lake Street and Langdon Street at 7:00am when runners will proceed up Langdon to Wisconsin Avenue, run down Wisconsin to East Mifflin Street (the square), and then down the length of State Street to Lake St again where they will turn south until taking West Dayton outbound. A portion of the route is shown in the map above, but more details and full course maps can be found here

The accompanying 5K race course will be on N. Park Street and to the west, so will not impact District 2. Similarly, the remainder of the Mini-Marathon will be to the west of District 2, also finishing on N. Park Street at its intersection with the west end of Library Mall. The Mini-Marathon and 5K will also impact bus routes until 11am on July 23. - Routes 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 13 will detour for the races - details on the bus detours here.

For more information on the races, email raceday@racedayevents.com.

 

Red Rock Rooftop Terrace Proposal

2nd Floor Terrace at Red Rock Saloon Approved by Plan Commission; ALRC Next

This past week the Plan Commission granted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) that was required for Red Rock Saloon's proposed 2nd floor rooftop terrace at 222 W. Gorham Street. A CUP was necessary to approve an outdoor eating area and Supplemental Regulations also required approval for an outdoor eating area closing later than 9pm in the Downtown Core District. Materials for the Plan Commission's consideration can be found here

While the terrace's required CUPs were approved by Plan Commission, the Alcohol License Review Committee will at some point in the future consider Red Rock Saloon's expected request for an extension of premises, which would allow alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the new terrace once it is constructed. At Plan Commission the applicants informally agreed to present a management and security plan to the ALRC when their application is considered, although that is not expected until later this fall.

Also at Plan Commission, Red Rock agreed to Conditions of Approval that would require shutting the two garage doors to the terrace at midnight each night to reduce noise; to require patrons to be off the terrace no later than 1:30am; to the installation of an additional sound-dampening solid barrier behind a rock wall on the rear of the terrace, and to not allowing the two standard doors to be propped open. Also, there will be no amplified on the terrace and no outdoor bar.

Reminder - Looking for Steering Committee Members for 100 Block of N. Butler St. Redevelopment Proposal

The James Madison Park District of Capitol Neighborhoods, Inc. (CNI) is forming a neighborhood steering committee to further evaluate a proposal. The developers, Reese Fisher and Blake Fisher, propose to demolish the three existing apartment houses that are currently located on these properties; one lot is vacant. They also propose a new four-story building with 32 market rate apartments comprised of studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom units that will include a rear roof terrace as a resident amenity space. A below grade level will provide 24 parking spaces for vehicles, 3 spaces for mopeds, and 35 spaces for bicycles. The developers have not yet filed a land use application with the city.

Please email me if you have input or would like to serve on the neighborhood steering committee that will be forming this month. You can watch a recording of the July 7 neighborhood meeting on the proposal here.

The developers propose to convert the four existing properties into a single lot and seeks a rezoning from Downtown Residential 1 to Downtown Residential 2. One consequence of this proposed rezoning would be that the building's width would have no maximum, unlike the current DR1 zoning's maximum width of 60 feet. The rezoning will need approval by the Plan Commission and Common Council with the requested Conditional Uses needing only Plan Commission approval.

NOTE: The Public Safety Review Committee met on 7/13/22 and made a recommendation that the Common Council adopt at their August 2, 2022 meeting.

DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS:    This ordinance expands Sec. 24.02, MGO, to prohibit the harassment of an individual on the basis of their status as an election official. The intent of the ordinance is to protect election officials from unprovoked harassment in both private and public spaces, and to require an increased forfeiture for violations of this nature.

Amending 39.03(2), 39.03(4)(a), (c), (d), (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k) and creating 39.03 (p) to add protections for building code complainants.

DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance adds building code complainants as a protected status in the area of Housing in the Equal Opportunities Ordinance. This would protect tenants who are victims of retaliation from their landlords when they make complaints of building code violations. This provision offers tenants the benefits of a process that is currently used and is staffed by experienced investigators. Violations of the Ordinance can result in awards of monetary and other damages that would directly redress the damage done to the tenant.

 

Agenda Item 53

Amending MGO Sec. 28.183(5)(a)6. to allow that the Plan Commission Secretary or District Alder may advise applicants to present at the Urban Design Commission prior to Plan Commission for a conditional use application.

Approval standard nine requires Plan Commission to consider existing area aesthetics for new construction and additions, which may require input from the Urban Design Commission ("UDC").
