Jeff Hayne, representing the project team, described a revised layout that reduces a previously proposed 12 percent road grade connection, consolidates the clubhouse and golf amenities on roughly 40 acres, and shows a continuous interior road with multiple exits to provide emergency access. Hayne said the team intends to begin work on the northern 80‑acre phase first and \"we are committed to the North 80 to get going as quickly as possible.\" He also said the team is prepared to request variances and a conditional use permit related to road slopes, hillside/hilltop protections and tree removals.

The team showed that about 615 linear feet of road would be at a 10 percent grade (roughly 3 percent of the total roadway length) and estimated approximately 6.3 acres of steep‑slope disturbance on the proposed golf course (about 9 percent of a 72‑acre portion referenced on the presentation). The developers said the design attempts to preserve mature trees where feasible, but that some removals are necessary for roads, lots and golf‑course features. The team also proposed 14 duplex lots to provide lower‑density multifamily options.

Commission feedback: commissioners and attendees generally praised the intention to retain natural features and said the concept could be a local economic amenity. Several commissioners flagged technical issues to be addressed before formal applications: a traffic study revision reflecting the updated road connections (staff said a traffic study exists and will be updated), detailed grading and cut/fill graphics for any slope variances, a tree‑removal plan, and assurances about water service to upper elevations (reservoir issues were raised as a significant infrastructure matter).

Next steps: developers said they will pursue annexation, rezoning, preliminary plats and conditional use permits as needed; the commission did not take a formal vote but provided the presenters with guidance on the major concerns they should resolve before submitting formal applications.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","04.08.2025 VOCP Plan Commission","oneSentenceSummary","Developers for the Ingenuity (game development) concept presented a revised plan for roughly 480 acres that includes a 200‑acre golf course, about 450 housing sites and 14 duplex lots.

Staff reported that the parcels fall within the village’s extraterritorial land‑division jurisdiction, that the Town of Berrien previously approved rezone and CSM action in January, and that county approvals for shoreland and wetland zoning remain a condition of recording. Planning staff recommended approval, saying the CSM complies with village land‑division rules in chapter 83.28 of the village code.

The commission moved and seconded a recommendation; members voted in favor by voice vote and the staff presentation will be forwarded with the commission’s recommendation to the Village Board.

Why it matters: the CSM is an administrative land‑division step needed before recording and future development activity; approval by the Village Board and county signoffs are part of the remaining steps before recording.

Details: staff said there is no financial implication for the village and that the approval is contingent on county jurisdiction approvals for shoreland and wetland zoning and on recordation within nine months.","The commission recommended that the Village Board approve a certified survey map (CSM) that combines parcels at 5228 County Road P in the Town of Berrien, finding the map complies with village land‑division code.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6086041,"Planning commission recommends Village of Cross Plains adopt 2025–2029 parks and open-space master plan",2081,133000,2214000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2900476-75308e95ce7d7d81517f97aa9d828ec3&start=133&end=2214","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2900476-75308e95ce7d7d81517f97aa9d828ec3/thumbnail_133000.jpg","/articles/6086041/Wisconsin/Planning-commission-recommends-Village-of-Cross-Plains-adopt-20252029-parks-and-open-space-master-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6086041-048e830aa08e161f754a39b50f3f1c9e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770676562&Signature=f8G65xPa6h39pXEc5X3wW8S04YGg0xTGanWNK9Qg59VXXGgT4m~1cWP5qYZJoL9okactjsHQHjZ-858q7Q2-zZAftQOZGCFo~WAXXGwEuddbhCln3sq3nahUYqRRaturHrmliVy0ceZaZ6AxGZfbi9zT7gGLiHXJnaJtI7nXr3TroRhVdKwpQjdXMFlNMIsdGk8cg23eeaM~a530AhPUDTcObr1WGBQNZbukMxlOZkclMrpWprQtg1ryg4G4V-HVpH8qtwhVKOFRe24Nb6RiZqEJPLTDDmfmC8jzBB0O9jrjzmgY7UbrleMPHemLUQZkBMxYJkRMuvG94c1XlstLZQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Cross Plains Planning Commission on May 20 recommended that the Village Board adopt the village’s 2025–2029 Parks and Open Space Master Plan following a public hearing and discussion.

Commissioners and staff reviewed the plan chapter by chapter, raised editorial and policy concerns and asked staff to clarify language on slope calculations, the use of the word \"shall\" in capital‑planning provisions, inclusion of a proposed pool, and how park impact fees were evaluated for housing affordability.

The plan moved into and out of a public hearing with a roll call vote before discussion. After the chapter review, a motion to recommend adoption passed on a voice vote.

Why it matters: the document sets the village’s parks policy and provides the technical analysis needed if the village chooses to impose or increase park impact fees. Staff and commissioners discussed how national acreage standards (commonly expressed as acres per 1,000 residents) relate to the village’s existing parkland inventory and to recommended future acquisitions.

Discussion details: commissioners asked staff to correct clerical issues (page numbering and an updated Table 12), to confirm population and acreage projections used in chapters 2 and 5, and to reconcile wording in policy provisions. Commissioners questioned a draft policy that excludes land with slopes of 12 percent or greater from counting toward parkland dedication. Staff explained the distinction: slope thresholds in the plan affect how land counts toward required acreage for active recreation, not whether a parcel could be accepted for passive uses.

Commissioners also pressed for softer language where the draft uses the mandatory word \"shall\" in capital planning and maintenance items so the village board retains budgeting discretion. Commissioners asked that the plan explicitly mention the village’s current capital priorities (including discussion of a future pool) or remove prescriptive language that could constrain board budgeting choices.

On impact fees and housing affordability, staff told the commission that the parks chapter analyzes only the park‑related portion of impact fees and that a statement could be added clarifying that other fees (water, sewer, inspection, connection fees) also affect housing affordability. Planning staff said that a parks impact‑fee study is a statutory requirement for imposing a fee; as staff put it, \"this is a required component by statute to, be able to justify imposing an impact fee.\" Commissioners asked staff to add clarifying language to the plan to reflect the broader affordability context.

Outcome and next steps: the commission voted to recommend adoption and asked staff to provide a clean copy that implements the agreed edits (corrected page numbers, revised table headings, softened policy language where appropriate, and a clarifying sentence about impact‑fee limits and other fees). The recommendation will be forwarded to the Village Board for final action.","After a public hearing and chapter-by-chapter review, the planning commission voted to recommend adoption of the Village of Cross Plains 2025–2029 Parks and Open Space Master Plan to the Village Board, with staff directed to make minor wording and technical edits.","actionData","errors"]
