Plan commission forwards several items to village board and approves routine CUPs and site plans
Summary
Commissioners approved the St. John's school entry addition site plan, a CUP allowing conversion of 312 East Main Street to single- or two-family residential, recommended a small ground-mounted solar CUP at Crossroads United Methodist to the village board, and forwarded an ordinance amendment on barbed wire for utility fences to the village board with staff edits.
At the Waunakee Plan Commission meeting, members approved several routine land-use items and forwarded an ordinance amendment to the village board.
Key actions at a glance:
- St. John's (school) entry addition (209 South Street): Staff recommended approval of a 40-by-17-foot vestibule and internal renovations; motion carried. (Site-plan approval forwarded for final action.)
- Conditional use permit for 312 East Main Street: The commission approved a CUP allowing single-family or two-family residential use in the C1D district; the parcel has functioned as a duplex since at least 2002 per assessor records.
- Ground-mounted solar panels at Crossroads United Methodist Church (5901 Hogan Road): Staff recommended the CUP to the village board; commissioners discussed proximity (~120 ft) to a mapped wetland and chose not to require an immediate new delineation for this small project. The commission voted to recommend approval to the village board; the village board is scheduled to hold a public hearing on April 6.
- Ordinance amendment: The commission discussed amending section 133‑135 (fences and hedges) so public utilities may use barbed wire on security fences regardless of zoning; staff will reconcile contradictory height language in the code and forward the amendment to the village board.
Each approval was passed by voice vote with occasional recorded opposition or abstention noted in the meeting record. Staff will proceed with final paperwork and any required building-permit or licensing steps.
