Commission backs conversion of downtown Hallmark into four wellness condominiums
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit, condominium plat and exterior remodel to convert the former Jan's Hallmark at 107 S. 3rd St. into four commercial condominium units intended for wellness uses; applicants said the footprint, parking and ingress/egress will not change.
The Delavan Plan Commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit, a four-unit condominium plat and exterior remodeling plans to convert the former Jan's Hallmark store at 107 S. 3rd Street into four commercial condominium units intended primarily for wellness uses (fitness, Pilates, yoga, etc.).
Attorney Patrick Demoon (Sweet and Mayer) told commissioners the project would not change the building footprint, ingress/egress or parking and that utilities will be separately metered. "The burden to the city should be minimal," Demoon said, adding that the project will help revitalize a downtown property and draw foot traffic to neighboring businesses.
Commissioners confirmed floor plans and condominium structure in the packet and noted the condominium association will be responsible for common expenses (lighting, sidewalks, maintenance). The commission approved the conditional use recommendation, the condominium plat with city-attorney edits, and the exterior renovation plans, each by voice vote.
Attorney Demoon indicated he had reviewed and accepted the city attorney's edits to the condominium language. With approvals in hand, the project will move to the common council level or next administrative steps required for plat recording and work under the downtown historic overlay rules.
