FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE NE 1/4 OF SECTION 18
(S81 W20871 RUSSET COURT / TAX KEY NO. 2229.992.006)
WHEREAS, A petition to rezone properties from RS — 2 Suburban Residence District PD Planned
Development District for the Apple Hills development was submitted by John Jewell located at
S81 W20871 Russet Court / Tax Key No. 2229.992.006, and
WHEREAS, The property was rezoned to RS-2 Suburban Residence District in September 2021
(pending Final Plat approval), and
WHEREAS, The development would be served by municipal sanitary sewer and municipal water,
and
WHEREAS, The 2020 Comprehensive Plan identifies this area for medium density residential
uses consistent with a density of between 1.0 and 2.99 units/acre and the proposal is 1.45
units/acre which meets this requirement, and
WHEREAS, There is no density bonus being requested as part of the Planned Development
request, and
WHEREAS, A preliminary plat was approved for this property in November 2021 under the RS-2
Suburban Residence District zoning, and
WHEREAS, The proposed rezoning request consists of ten (10) single-family lots, which is the
same as the current zoning and the approved Preliminary Plat, and
WHEREAS, Each of the lots would follow the general zoning characteristics of the RS-2 zoning
district (lots of at least 20,000 square feet and at least 110 feet in width, when sewered) with the
exception of two lots (lot 9 and lot 10), which is the impetus of the requested PD Planned
Development rezoning request, and
WHEREAS, The two lots are adjacent to the Summerfield Lane right-of-way extension that
extends to the property line towards the south, and
WHEREAS, Lot 9 is a corner lot with an existing house abutting Russet Court and Sommerfield
Lane where the setback from Russet Court will be more than 81 feet and the allowed second
street yard setback would be reduced from forty (40) feet to thirty (30) feet, and
WHEREAS, Lot 10 would be shifted towards the west along with the property line between Lot 10
and the outlot to make the outlot larger for proper storm water management and Lot 10 would be
reduced to 19,932 square feet, or 68 square feet less that the required 20,000 square feet, and
WHEREAS, A Public Hearing for the rezoning was heard before the Common Council on
February 25, 2025 and five (5) residents spoke with concerns about the proposed
development/rezoning, and
WHEREAS, Public Hearing comments generally dealt with stormwater, wetlands, and density.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission does hereby recommend approval
to the Common Council for rezoning of the Jewell property to PD — Planned Development (S81
W20871 Russet Court / Tax Key No. 2229.992.006).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the rezoning approval is subject to approval of the Final Plat
for development of this land.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a copy of said plans be kept on file in the Building
Department and that all aspects of this plan shall be maintained in perpetuity unless otherwise
authorized by the Plan Commission.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That failure to comply with the approval contained in this
resolution shall result in the imposition of fines of $100 per day, the initiation of legal action, or
both.
