NEW BUSINESS
Resolution #098-2017 – Resolution Authorizing the Issuance of $18,000,000 General
Obligation Promissory Notes and the Issuance and Sale of $18,000,000 Note Anticipation
Notes in Anticipation Thereof
Alderman Kubacki made a motion to approve. Alderman Madden seconded. Mr. Paul
Thompson of Hutchinson, Shockey, Erley & Co. was present. He stated the final interest
rate is 2.50%. This is slightly higher than anticipated due to a variety of market forces. It is
expected that long term interest rates will decline. This should benefit the City when a new
note or bond is issued to refund the Note Anticipation Note. Motion carried 7 in favor.
PUBLIC HEARING
Director Mueller read the public hearing notice to consider petition of Justin Koeppler (AG
Architecture), on behalf of the Basse Family Trust, to grant a rezoning amendment to the
existing PD-42 Basse Planned Development District for the purpose of allowing additional multi-
family units/use(s) along with the continued allowance of a portion of the development for
commercial use(s). The subject property is known as Tax Key Numbers 2198.160 and
2198.161 located on Janesville Road.
Planner Trzebiatowski provided the history of the Basse PD, which was originally approved in
2003. The developer is now proposing a total of 90 units broken down into a 50-unit building
(Phase 1), a 40-unit building (Phase 2) and a possible future clubhouse (Phase 3). No changes
are proposed to the 1.5 acre commercial lot. The total allowable units under the existing base
zoning is 90.9. The developer is not requesting any bonus lots. As part of the PD zoning, the
applicant is requesting that the 50-unit building be located with a 30-foot setback from the
Janesville Road right-of-way as opposed to the 40 feet required with the underlying zoning.

Public Input:
Mike Kuspa, S71 W16672 Glen Cove Court. Mr. Kuspa stated he represents the Forest Glen
Homeowner’s Association. The members are generally in favor of the proposal. However,
there are a few concerns: 1) Will a driveway eventually be cut into Glen Cove Court for the land
to the west that is not part of this development? 2) The association is opposed to any
application for federal funding. 3) There is a concern that the wetlands will be disturbed.
No one else requested to speak. Mayor Chiaverotti declared the public hearing closed.
