Kimberly board approves Blue at the Trail PUD amendment and final plat with design, infrastructure conditions
Summary
The Village of Kimberly approved the Planned Unit Development amendment and final plat for Blue at the Trail on Jan. 26, 2026, subject to conditions including developer-paid utility laterals, termination of the condominium plat per Wisconsin law, a required 6/12 roof pitch and at least one‑third of the front of single‑family homes clad in materials other than vinyl.
The Village of Kimberly Board approved a Planned Unit Development amendment and the final plat for the Blue at the Trail subdivision at its Jan. 26 meeting, attaching infrastructure and design conditions the board said must be met before recording the plat.
Trustee Norb Karner moved and Trustee Tom Gaffney seconded approval of the PUD amendment; Trustee Lee Hammen later moved and Trustee Marcia Trentlage seconded approval of the final plat. Both motions carried by unanimous vote.
Under the approvals the board required that unchanged items in the original PUD remain or revert to the underlying zoning classification and that site plan and architectural review be required for all non‑single‑family developments. The board incorporated the restrictions and covenants listed in the PUD narrative, final plat and covenants into the approvals. The developer must execute a separate agreement with the Village ensuring compliance with Wisconsin State Statutes and that the condominium declaration is legally dissolved and replaced by a final plat prior to recording; failure to execute the agreement will void the approvals.
The board also imposed design standards: the covenants recorded with the plat must be updated to require a minimum 6/12 roof pitch and that single‑family homes have at least one‑third of the front of the home covered by materials other than vinyl siding — examples listed include board and batten, stucco, cedar impressions, stone or brick. The final plat approval also conditions utilities: all lots must be serviced by laterals connected to public utility mains at the developer's expense, and any duplicate service utility laterals must be properly abandoned at the developer's cost.
The board permitted minor PUD modifications after Village staff review and noted that plat approval was conditioned upon the PUD amendment and the flexibility reflected on the plat. The board recorded the approvals as part of routine meeting business; no appeals or additional public testimony were recorded at the meeting.
The next procedural step is completion and recording of the required developer agreement and final covenants before the plat can be recorded and built out.
