Board approves land vacations, CSM to allow Sendex redevelopment with $310,000 TID transfer
Summary
The Whitefish Bay Village Board adopted resolutions 3188 and 3189 to vacate portions of public roadway and approve a certified survey map consolidating parcels to permit a Sendex redevelopment; the board and staff said the transfer is funded by TID increment and cited a valuation/transfer of about $310,000.
The Whitefish Bay Village Board on Dec. 1 adopted two resolutions to vacate portions of public roadway and to approve a certified survey map (CSM) that consolidates multiple lots at the northeast corner of Lake and Silver Spring drives, steps the village said are necessary to allow a planned Sendex redevelopment.
During discussion of resolution 3188 to vacate portions of East Silver Spring and Lake drives and related walkway parcels, staff emphasized the transaction is not a land giveaway. The meeting record cites a valuation and TID-funded transfer amount of approximately $310,000 that will support conveyance of parcels to the petitioner, Sendex (identified in the record as the project petitioner). Board members and staff said the transfer uses increment generated by the Sendex project under the development agreement.
The board then adopted a friendly amendment that authorized the village president and village manager to take necessary actions to effectuate the transfers and quick-claim deeds; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Immediately after, the board adopted resolution 3189 approving a certified survey map to combine the eight existing lots and adjacent public way into two lots and an outlot dedicated to the village to allow the redevelopment to proceed.
Why it matters: The resolutions clear municipal right-of-way and consolidate privately held parcels and small village-owned parcels so the developer can redevelop the site. The record indicates the village’s plan commission reviewed and recommended the CSM and that title/technical review by village counsel and consulting surveyors occurred prior to the plan commission’s action.
Votes and procedural notes The meeting transcript records the board voting 'I' on both motions and the chair stating the motions carried; the transcript does not record a roll-call vote tally by name in the meeting minutes text. The board corrected an agenda transposition earlier in the meeting (the public-hearing agenda listed 1388/1389 but the proper numbers discussed and adopted were 3188/3189).
Next steps Staff will execute the deeds and steps authorized by the board and return any additional documents or filings required to complete the land transfers and the CSM recording.
