It is very help ul to know exactly where your propertystakes (lines) are when:

Buying a home/property so you know what you arebuying and or uture re erence;

Landscaping including planting trees and shrubsso they are planted to allow uture growth to

remain on your property; Seeking to install: encing, an accessory

structure or adding onto your home, sowhen applying or a permit you caneasily dra t a plan to show where the

new structure will be located;

Trying to locate any recordedeasements.

Many times we hear people saythey were told or they assumedtheir property stake is where aence, plantings, trans ormers orpower poles are located. In act

that is seldom the case. The onlyway to be certain is to locate the

lot corner stakes as ollows:

A plat map which shows thedimensions o a property may be

obtained rom the Department oPlanning & Development at no chargeto you. This document can be pickedup at City Hall, 381 E. Main Street,Emailed, Faxed or Mailed to you. Thedimensions o your property willgive you a re erence to start rom

and makes it much easier onceone stake is ound;

The stakes which are sometimes called irons ormonuments vary in size but are typically approximatelya 1-inch solid stake, 1.5 eet long and buried at groundlevel or by as much as a oot deep at each corner o theproperty;

A long tape measure is help ul but not necessary to aidin your search;

Renting a metal detector may also be help ul in locatingthe lot stakes;

Ask neighbors i they have an idea where the lot stakesare located to aid in your search;

Department o Planning & Development sta will assistbut cannot locate lot stakes or you. City sta cannotcome to your property to locate your property lines or takesides in a dispute over a private property stake location.Property stake disputes between property owners are alegal issue and are not regulated by City Ordinances;

I lot stakes cannot be ound, a licensed land surveyormay be hired to locate them and/or in some cases

restake them. State law requires that lot stakes are notremoved however that does not mean they have notbeen inadvertently removed. Also, many historic areasoriginally had wood stakes. Surveyors can be ound in theYellow Pages or contact the City sta person below orin ormation. The cost o a survey can vary greatly so itpays to check costs;

Over time property stakes may be removed or buriedbeneath retaining walls, paved driveways, concrete walks,plantings etcmaking them more di cult to nd;

In some cases a survey is required or new homeconstruction, building additions, detached accessorystructures or other major projects.

For questions related to locating your lot stakes contactthe City Zoning Administrator at 646-0421 [email protected]

What we do in our yards can directly a ect our lakes andstreams. Be ore using ertilizer on your lawn or gardens, testyour soil. A $15 soil test will show i your soil is lacking any-thing so that you dont waste your money on something youdont even need. Instructions and orms rom the UW Soiland Plant Analysis Lab are online at http://uwlab.soils.wisc.

edu/madison/. Results will tell you exactly what you need orhealthy lawn and gardens.I your test shows you do indeed need ertilizer, be sure to

clean up any that lands on your sidewalk, driveway or otherhard sur aces. I le t on paved areas, it can easily make its way tothe nearest lake or stream with the next rain all. Keeping leaves,grass clippings and other yard waste, which contain nitrogenand phosphorus, out o the street also helps prevent lakes andstreams rom becoming green and scummy. When these nutri-ents wash into lakes and streams they can promote nasty algaeblooms and excessive weed growth (which can lower oxygenlevels in the water) and may release ammonia (toxic to sh).

Healthy yards add to the beauty and value o your home.They can also help our lakes and streams by allowing rainwaterto soak into the soil rather than running o to the nearest stormdrain. So, do your part and keep your lakes and streams healthyby using ertilizers only i and where they are needed.

g arage S ale S ignage i nformationGarage sale signs may be placed in the parkrow or ter-

race, in ront o the residence where the sale is being held,

Garage sale signs are not to be attached to utility poles,trees, tra fc regulatory structures or ences and shall not ob-struct vision or vehicular tra fc.

No more than 3 sales are allowed per year. A sale o upto 3 consecutive days in length shall be considered one time.

r ain a nd S noW W here d o t hey g o and W hat d o t hey t aKe W ith t hem ?Center for Land Use EducationDo you know how the new subdivision in town a ects local water resources that you use or

shing, swimming and drinking? It all depends on the route that rainwater and snowmelt take tothe lakes, streams and groundwater in your community.

Subdivisions and other types o development include impervious sur aces, such as roads, roo -tops, driveways, sidewalks and parking lots that prevent rainwater and snowmelt rom soakinginto the ground. The gradual addition o impervious sur aces is a cumulative process where one

house doesnt make a big di erence, but the new houses, roads and parking lots built over timehave a big impact on local waters by increasing the volume o runo . In act, one investigator hasestimated that when a one-acre meadow is paved, the amount o runo rom a one-inch rainstormincreases 16- old ( Schueler 1994 ). Increases in the am ount o runo result in more erosion, great-er delivery o pollutants to lakes and streams, and less water to recharge groundwater aqui ers.

Impervious sur aces can be separatedinto two components as shown in Fig-ure 1 : people habitat where we live andwork, and car habitat where we drive andpark our vehicles. Studies rom across thecountry show that 55 -75% o impervioussur aces are car habitat ( Cappiella 2001 ;City o Olympia 1994 ).

As shown in Figure 2 , the amounto impervious sur ace is a key indicatoro the health o local streams. Researchconsistently shows that as the amount oimpervious sur ace increases in the water-

shed, the health o its streams decreases(Schueler 1994).For example, in the Milwaukee met-

ropolitan area in southeast Wisconsin,studies have ound that sh and insectpopulations in warm water streams de-cline dramatically when impervious sur-aces exceed about 8 - 1 0 % o the wa-tershed. Streams with more than 1 2 %imperviousness have consistently poorsh communities (Wang and others 2000and 2001 ).

How do impervious sur aces a ectyour community? A s Figure 3 illustrates,in a natural system approximately 10%o rainwater fows over the land sur acedirectly to lakes and rivers while 50% orainwater lters into the ground and is

stored as groundwater or slowly makesits way back into rivers and lakes. Anunintended result o development is thatimpervious sur aces cause more water torun o the landscape and less to in ltrateto groundwater. For example a neighbor-hood with 1-acre lots with 10-20% im-pervious sur ace could expect the amounto runo to double a ter development (EPA1993). Un ortunately, this water bypassesthe natural water lter provided by soil,microbial action and vegetation and car-ries additional pollutants directly to sur-ace waters.

When trees, shrubs and grasses are re-placed with impervious sur aces, the ol-lowing community bene ts are threatened:

* Sa e drinking water ltered by the natural soils and p lants

* Su cient groundwater or drinking, irrigation and industry* Water storage capacity to protect homes rom fooding* Healthy streams with sh spawning areas, fows and stable banks* Cool, shady water or a diversity o sh* Food and habitat or songbirds and other animals* Natural scenery or relaxation and privacy

What can you do?The frst step is to share this in ormation with citizens and local o fcials in your community

and to help them understand the e ects o impervious sur aces on water resources. Remember,prevention is less costly than remediation and collaboration is more productive than con rontation.

SPringtime BringS m ore t han f loWerS W ith t hoSe ShoWerSWhether March comes in like a lion or a lamb, it also brings spring showers and melting

snow. When snow melts and rain alls, it fows across streets, driveways, parking lots and roo -tops and transports sand, salt, leaves, oil, trash and many other pollutants directly to stormdrains, which eventually end up in our lakes and streams.

Some olks mistakenly think that water running o streets goes into a sewage treatmentplant. But the truth is that it goes right to our lakes and streams.

You Can HelpThere are many things each o us can do to prevent storm water pollution. Use salt sparingly during the winter. Sweep up any excess sand le t over rom the snow shoveling season. Clean up pet waste year roundfush it down the toilet or collect it in a bucket until you

can bury it properly. Keep cars well maintained, repairing leaks; but consider walking, public transportation or

riding a bike whenever you can. Direct rainwater away rom paved areas to lawns or gardens where i t can soak in . Keep leaves and grass clippings out o the street. Compost yard waste, debris and leaves. Get a soil test be ore applying ertilizer to your lawn. Dont pay or something you dont

need. I a test shows that your lawn does need ertilizer, apply it according to directions andcare ully clean up any spills on paved sur aces.

Wash your car on the lawn or at a car wash that sends its used water to the sewage treat-ment plant.

Prevent soil erosion. Dont let anything but rain go down the storm drain or into the ditch.Go to www.my airlakes.com or more ideas on how you can help our lakes and streams.

Business is Booming!Library checkouts were up 3.1% in 2012 over 2011, and in

January o 2013, the Library saw a 4.7% increase in checkoutsover January o 2012. What does that mean in actual numbers?

It means that the Stoughton Public Library checked out 267,341items in 2012, and 23,927 items in January o this year.

In addition to checkouts at the Library, 76,565 items weresent to other public libraries or use by their clientele.

The Stoughton Public Library saw the most dramatic in-crease in the use o its wireless network: a 1,058% increase inusage in 2012 over 2011. The network was used 59,768 timesby people using their laptops or other wireless devices.

Put a Little Science in Your FictionEvery genre o literature has i ts so-called Golden Age, and

that includes science ction. The Golden Age o Science Fictionsaw its beginnings in the late 1930s when John W. Campbell(1910-1971) took over editorship o the magazine, Astounding Science Fiction.Campbell insisted on quality writing rom hisauthors, which included creation and development o realisticcharacters, plots, and settings.

It also included believability in the sense that Campbell in-sisted science ction stories, other than the antastic science,be as true to li e as possible. I the reader is asked to acceptone or two currently impossible pieces o science, the authorshould then do (mostly) his or (occasionally) her best to stickto what is possible and true to li e or the rest o the story.

Isaac Asimov called Campbell the most power ul orce inscience ction ever, and indeed Campbell was responsible orthe success o Asimov and many other so-called classic sciencection authors such as Robert Heinlein, A. E. Van Vogt, Theo-dore Sturgeon, Lester del Rey, to name only a ew.

The Golden Age o Science Fiction really got going in the1940s, continued strong through the 1950s, but declined in the1960s with the rise o social science ction and other develop-ments o the genre.

Visit the Stoughton Public Library in late May or our dis-play o books rom The Golden Age o Science Fiction.

S treet t alKSHello, Im Street Superintendent Karl Manthe. Welcome to the second article o Street Talks.

You may ask: What is Street Talks? Why should I read this article? Street Talks provides youwith all the in ormation you need to know about the services the Street Department provides.This in ormation will bene t both you and the city so we can continue to excel with customerservice.

Well, I believe we are all tired o winter and dealing with snow, ice, and rigid temperatures - Iknow I am. Wow, the weather experts were way o on their predictions o a mild winter.

Thanks to all o you that moved your vehicles during snow emergencies, kept your sidewalksclean o snow, and trash carts out o the street or snow removal e orts by city crews.The equipment we use to carry out curbside service is large and needs adequate space to be

able to navigate around vehicles and other obstacles.

Curbside Brush Collection NEW ScheduleThe curbside brush collection has some changes to the schedule this year. The Street De-

partment has normally picked up brush curbside on the rst ull week o the month rom Aprilthru November. Due to promoting best pruning practices, we will only be collecting brush in themonths o April, May, October and November . It is not healthy to prune trees in the summerheat, open wounds attract insects that can spread diseases to your trees. I you need to pruneor remove a tree during the summer months, brush can be hauled to yard waste site (permitneeded). Please have brush placed in the parkrow on the Monday o collection by 6:30 am.

Finding Meaning in Historic Preservation in StoughtonWith the news that Stoughton will be eatured in a national

magazine highlighting its historic architecture and communitycharacter, the Stoughton Landmarks Commission would like totell you a little bit more about what historic preservation meansto Stoughton. While many o you live in historic houses, shopat businesses located on our historic Main Street and maybeeven see a show at our historic Opera House, have you thought

about how these unique placesmake Stoughton such a wonder ulplace to live? And what is historicpreservation anyway?

Historic preservation is the acto retaining and protecting build-ings, places and objects o histori-cal and cultural signi cance to thecommunity. More than any otherman-made element, historic build-

ings and landscapes di erentiateone community rom all others.National-chain clothing stores, book stores and restaurantslook exactly the same all across the country; the unique his-toric architecture o a community cannot be duplicated. Whenyou see City Hall with its iconic clock tower, you know youare in Stoughton. Historic preservation identi es and protects acommunitys unique history and sense o place.

Some bene ts o historic preservation are intangible. Ex-amples o these bene ts include community pride, creating asense o place, retaining the history and authenticity o a place,and maintaining a visually and culturally rich community. Itshould be understood though that many bene ts o historicpreservation are tangible and these include stable neighbor-hoods, increased property values, job creation and increasedtourism, access to nancial incentives to preserve buildings,and preserving natural resources and the environment.

In Stoughton, events such as Syttende Mai, the Co ee Break

Festival and the Victorian Holiday Weekend all are rooted in

celebrating and showcasing acets o Stoughtons unique histo-ry. Yet these community celebrations are locally and regionallypopular, attracting participants rom a wide range o commu-nities. The success o these events generates tourism revenueand is one way in which the preservation o our rich architec-tural heritage osters economic growth in Stoughton.

In Stoughton we are ortunate to have a Landmarks Com-mission established by City ordinance that is responsible oridenti ying and protecting architectural landmarks in the City.Visit www.stoughtonlandmarks.com or more in ormation or

to nd out how to become more involved in preserving Stough-tons cultural heritage. The website has links to resources orhomeowners and building owners including nancial incen-tives or the restoration o your home or historic building.

So, go out and explore Stoughtons many wonder ul ea-tures. Whether playing at a park, boating on the river, get-ting ice cream while shopping along Main Street, or strollingthrough the tree-lined streets o its beauti ul neighborhoods,Stoughtons history is here or you to discover and enjoy.

Active Stoughton for LifeOne o the main goals o the Stoughton Parks and Recre-

ation Department is to create healthy li estyles. A proven wayto create healthy li estyles is through physical activity andsport. Active Stoughton or Li e (AS4L) is a movement to im-prove physical activity and sport in Stoughton. AS4L uses a sci-enti c model called the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD)Model as its ramework.

LTAD was created by sports scientist Dr. Istvan Balyi. LTADis a seven-stage training, competition, and recovery pathwayguiding an individuals experience in recreation and sport romin ancy through adulthood. LTAD does away with early special-ization until age 12 and eases into more competitiveness as theymature and children get older. Using LTAD will make physicalactivity and sports more enjoyable or the children, and assistthem in becoming better athletes. This will also oster in childrenthe continued desire to participate in sports that will lead to ac-tive and healthy li estyles or the duration o their lives.

LTAD is used by hundreds o national sport ederations, andis currently being introduced in America through national sportassociations such as USA Hockey, USA Youth Soccer, and USAFootball.
