D6 Items of Interest Week of October 1, 2018

Highlights: Flooding, lake level and storm water management will be discussed at a 5:30p informational presentation to the Council on Tuesday. It's short Council agenda this week since we had a meeting last week. The Council will consider an appeal of the Landmarks Commission's decision not to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness to remove the Confederate Rest monument in Forest Hill Cemetery. I believe the majority of the Council will support the appeal. Traditionally the Executive Operating budget is introduced at the first meeting in October but the Mayor is delaying introduction until Wednesday because he will be traveling back to Madison on Tuesday afternoon. It will be available in legistar on Wednesday. The City County Homeless Issues Committee is holding their monthly meeting at The Beacon 615 E Washington on Wednesday. Also on Wednesday is a community forum on lake level management at the Madison Senior Center at 6:30p. On Thursday, learn more about potential ordinance revisions to the Third Lake Ridge Historic District, 7p at Bethany Evangelical Church, 301 Riverside Dr.

2. 52928 Adopting the 2018-2023 Park and Open Space Plan as a Supplement to the City of Madison Comprehensive Plan.

11. 52905 Consideration of a conditional use to convert an existing tavern into a nightclub at 524 E. Wilson Street; 6th Ald. Dist.

Staff report: The applicant, Prosit To You Inc., proposes to convert an existing tavern (The Up North) into a nightclub. According to MGO §28.211, a nightclub is defined as, "an establishment in which fermented malt beverages intoxicating liquors are sold for consumption upon the premises and which holds an entertainment license under Sec. 38.06(11) but does not include kitchen facilities." The existing tavern was issued an entertainment license in March, 2018 and therefore was reclassified as a nightclub. According to the applicant, live music performances have occurred on site since 1998, and conditional use approval will bring them into compliance with the City's Zoning Code. As proposed, the operations and security management of the nightclub will coincide with the City's Alcohol License Review Committee (ALRC) conditions of approval. In the letter of intent, the applicant indicated that because of the hotel guests on the second and third floor of the building (which are under the same ownership), the nightclub is conscious of noise level and music types offered at the establishment. While the nightclub is open from 2:30 pm to 2:00 am seven days a week, the performance schedule varies. According to the applicant, there are typically one to three musicians either playing from 7:00 to 10:00 pm, 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm or 9:00 pm to 12:00 am. The applicant also stated that there are video surveillance systems in place and the staff is trained and licensed to check IDs and contact police and fire emergency services if needed. The approved capacity for the existing tavern is 147 persons. While this proposal is in a landmarked building, no exterior changes are proposed and therefore does not require Landmarks Commission review. Lastly, in terms of parking, the nightclub shares a surface parking lot with the Essen House (514 E Wilson Street) in the rear of the site. Given that no exterior or capacity changes are proposed with this application, a site plan was not required for the project submittal.

The applicant is belatedly coming into conformance with the new zoning code requirements.

33. 53284 Approving the Amendment to the Project Plan for Tax Incremental District (TID) #46 (Research Park), City of Madison.

39. 53172 2019 Executive Operating Budget *NOTE: The 2019 Executive Operating Budget document will not be released by the Mayor until Wednesday, October 3, 2018.

I am disappointed that Mayor Soglin has, for the first time since I have been in office, delayed introduction of the 2019 Executive Operating budget to the day AFTER the first Tuesday in October. Instead on holding the traditional press conference the day of the first Council meeting in October, the Mayor will be traveling back from a conference and is unwilling to release his budget until he returns. I'm not sure why the entire budget, both the capital and the operating budget, isn't introduced at the same time, on the first Tuesday in September. I hope the next Mayor changes this two step process. We could do the agency reviews for both budgets at Finance in September and possibly adopt the budget earlier.

The  Marquette Neighborhood Association, Tenney Lapham Neighborhood Association, and SASY Neighborhood Association invite you to hear from water resource experts on the history, conditions, and factors that have led to our current 100-year flood event. Recently, Marquette Neighborhood Association hosted a Flood Prevention gathering, which 50 people attended from across the Isthmus and Bay Creek Neighborhoods. Attendees agreed that more education directly from the experts is needed in order for all of us to better understand how we can prevent events like this in the future. Neighbors from across the City are encouraged to attend and learn how lakes management and storm water management both on the Isthmus and throughout the County affect thousands of homes and businesses.
