PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

PUBLIC HEARING – Rezoning – Parcel 008011605 – R-1 to I-2

A motion was made by Mr. Koeppe, seconded by Mr. Cox, to open the public hearing for the

rezoning of parcel 008011605.

The motion carried – 7-0.

Director Dearborn said that this is a rezoning from R-1 (rural residential) to I-2 (heavy industrial). He

said that it complies with the Future Land Use Map’s designation for this property. He said the

applicant intends to use the rezoned property for industrial uses, such as storage. He said that staff have

no issues with this.

Mr. Fischer said that he bought this property to the north of 2609 Bodoh Way intending to use it as

industrial like he’s using the rest of the property. He said he did not realize it was zoned residential, so

now he has to rezone it so that he has room to add on to his existing industrial building.

Mr. Cox said that this property is in the Airport Overlay and may be under additional restrictions.

Ms. Hull said that the industrial uses Mr. Fischer is proposing will most likely not be an issue, but that

an airport zoning permit will still need to be obtained.

A motion was made by Mr. Cox, seconded by Mr. Koeppe, to close the public hearing for the

rezoning of parcel 008011605.

The motion carried – 7-0.

NEW BUSINESS

Item 1 - Rezoning – Parcel 008011605 – R-1 to I-2

Director Dearborn said that staff recommend approval. He said it is a positive change.

Mr. Koeppe said, for the record, he owns property that is next to the property in question, but that he has

no financial or other interest in this rezoning.

A motion was made by Mr. Cox, seconded by Mr. Sabel, to approve the rezoning of parcel

008011605 from R-1 (rural residential) to I-2 (heavy industrial), as it is consistent with the

Future Land Use Map.

The motion carried – 7-0.

Director Dearborn said that this will go to the Town Board for two readings as it is an ordinance

amendment. He said that it does not need a public hearing at the Board level; the official public hearing

is at the Plan Commission meeting.

Item 2 - CSM – 600 Century Oaks Dr.

Director Dearborn said that the FLU Map amendment and the rezoning for these properties were

approved back in October and now they are doing a CSM to combine the lots. He said that the

residential property to the north is currently undergoing an assessment for environmental contamination,

but when that is complete, Mr. Rouseau may purchase that lot as well.

A motion was made by Mr. Koeppe, seconded by Mr. Englebert, to approve the CSM for 600

Century Oaks Drive with the following condition:

1. All taxes and assessments shall be paid prior to the Town affixing signatures on the

Certified Survey Map.

The motion carried – 7-0.

OTHER BUSINESS

Development Activity Report

MEMO Date: March 10, 2015

To: Town Planning Commission Members

From: Community Development Department Staff

RE: New Business Item 1 - CSM – Kimberly Clark - Parcel #0080610

Overview

The applicant, Kimberly Clark Corporation, is requesting approval of a CSM to split off a lot from their vacant

property just south of 455 N. Green Bay Rd. for the purposes of selling the lot to an interested buyer. The lot

configuration is below showing the approximate area to be split off. The CSM is on the following page. They

are leaving a 62’ strip of land as an access from N. Green Bay Rd. to the back lot, which is not being sold.

Creating a flag lot is not an ideal situation, but the Town desires to see this area developed and is willing to

accept this configuration because it will help KC sell the property to a buyer who will put it into use.

2

Staff Recommendation

Staff finds that this CSM complies with the Town of Menasha’s Chapter 6 Land Division Ordinance and recommends

approval with the following condition:

1. All taxes and assessments shall be paid prior to the Town affixing signatures on the Certified Survey Map.

MEMO Date: March 11, 2015

To: Town Planning Commission Members

From: Community Development Department Staff

RE: New Business Item 2 – Rezoning – Kimberly Clark - Parcel #0080610

Overview

The applicant, Kimberly Clark Corporation, is requesting approval of a rezoning for a parcel of land along N.

Green Bay Road. This parcel will be created by a new CSM, which is also on this meeting agenda for approval.

The applicant requests to rezone the parcel from I-2 (Heavy Industrial) to I-1 (Light Industrial) for the purpose

of selling the property to a buyer interested in constructing a medical center on the site. Per our Town Zoning

Ordinance, medical centers are allowed in light industrial, but not heavy industrial zoning districts. The current

Zoning Map is below, showing the area to be rezoned, and the Future Land Use Map is on the next page. As

you can see, the property is designated Industrial on the FLU Map.

2

Staff Recommendation

Since the rezoning to I-1 is a minor change from its current zoning of I-2, and since it is consistent with the FLU

Map’s Industrial designation, staff recommend approval of this rezoning. It should be noted, however, that the CSM

creating this parcel must be approved and recorded before the Zoning Map can officially be amended.
