Council approves two extraterritorial certified survey maps for properties near Fort Atkinson
Summary
Fort Atkinson council approved two extraterritorial certified survey maps (CSMs): one combining parcels at W 6347 Briar Lane and another separating a parcel at N 1873 US Highway 12; staff and the planning commission recommended approval with minor map corrections and noted a deferred special assessment tied to potential annexation for the US Highway 12 parcel.
The Fort Atkinson City Council on Feb. 3 approved two extraterritorial certified survey maps (CSMs) for properties in the Town of Koshkonong.
W 6347 Briar Lane CSM: Director Drager told the council this CSM combines two existing parcels rather than creating a new buildable lot. Staff and the planning commission recommended approval with minor map adjustments and recommended waiving a setback-line requirement because there is no proposed development; a council motion to approve the CSM subject to the conditions in the staff report carried by voice vote.
N 1873 US Highway 12 CSM and assessments: Drager presented a second CSM near Whitewater Avenue that would separate a smaller parcel for sale and leave a roughly 5.5-acre developable parcel. Drager and staff noted a special deferred water/sewer assessment would remain attached to the parent parcel and would not be due until annexation. Council members clarified that Lot 1 would be responsible for the deferred assessment because it benefits from the infrastructure; staff and the planning commission recommended approval with minor map corrections, and the council approved the CSM subject to report conditions.
Why it matters: The decisions clear the parcels for future ownership and clarify financial obligations that could accompany future annexation and development, notably the deferred assessment for water and sewer improvements.
What happens next: Approvals were conditional on staff-recommended corrections; no immediate development was proposed on the record.
