Summary

Council approved Resolution R14926 accepting subdivision improvements for Uptown Hills workforce townhomes. A resident asked the council to see permits, inspection records and a DPW work plan citing NR103 and a Dane County Water Quality Plan amendment; public-works staff said licensed engineers reviewed the project and the item was conditionally approved.

The Fitchburg Common Council voted to accept subdivision improvements in the Uptown Hills CSM and moved to approve Resolution R14926, which had been postponed from a prior meeting because conditions were incomplete. Public works staff said inspections were performed and that registered professional engineers reviewed the work prior to acceptance.

A resident of the area urged caution and said he had filed a contested case citing NR103 and compliance under the Dane County Water Quality Plan and a North McGaw Park amendment (CARPEC resolution 2009-15), requesting to see the Department of Public Works’ work plan, permits and inspection records before the council accepted the improvements. Public-works staff replied that city inspections were completed and that remaining items were minor and expected to be wrapped up prior to occupancy; the council carried the resolution.
