1.1 Why P lan?

It is difficult to know what the future may bring for the future of Dane, or for any community. As residents and businesses come and go and economic trends rise and fall, changes will occur. The purpose of this plan is to establish a shared vision for the future of the Village that will guide future actions and decisions. This guidance provides predictability and consistency over time, which encourages investment. We plan so that we can act and react in a changing world with a confident understanding of our common values and goals.

1.2 Wisconsin Com prehensive P lanning Law Wisconsin’s “Smart Growth” planning law [s. 66.1001 Wis. Stats.] was adopted in October of 1999. The law requires that, beginning January 1, 2010, the following activities must be consistent with a comprehensive plan:     

Official mapping established or amended under s. 62.23 (6) Local subdivision regulations under s. 236.45 or 236.46 County zoning ordinances enacted or amended under s. 62.23 (7) Town, village, or city zoning ordinances enacted or amended under s. 60.61, 60.62, 60.23 (7) Zoning of shorelands or wetlands in shorelands under s. 59.692, 61.351 or 62.231

The law defines a Comprehensive Plan as containing nine required elements: 1.

Introduction

1.3 P lanning P rocess In the winter of 2010, the Village of Dane engaged MSA Professional Services, Inc. to assist in completion of a Comprehensive Plan complying with Wisconsin’s “Smart Growth” requirements, State Statute 66.1001.

As required by SS 66.1001, every community must adopt a public participation plan at the beginning of the planning process. The purpose of the public participation plan is to define procedures for public involvement during every stage of the planning process (See Appendix B for the complete Public Participation Plan). Key components of the planning process included:  Two public meetings to solicit ideas about the future of the Village and reactions to the draft plan document. Notice of public meetings was published and posted in accordance with Village procedures and State law.  A pair of focus group discussions to explore more deeply the issues of economic development and park and recreation needs.  Six Plan Commission working sessions to review project material and make policy recommendations.

All Plan Commission working sessions were open to public attendance and comment.

Figure 1.1: Planning Area Map

1.4 P lanning Area & R egional Context The study area for this Plan includes all lands in which the Village has both a short and long term interest in planning and development activity. As shown in Figure 1.1, the Planning Area includes all lands within the current municipal limits and within the Village’s potential 1-1/2 mile extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).

The Village of Dane is located in southcentral Wisconsin (Dane County), approximately 18 miles north of Madison, WI. The Village is at the eastern border of the Town of Dane.

The Village is approximately 732 acres in size (1.14 sq. mi.). The 2010 estimated population for the Village was 960 (842 persons per sq. mi.).

CHAP TE R 1

1.5 How to Use this P lan This planning document is a "living" guide for growth and change in the Village of Dane. The plan represents the Village's best effort to address current issues and anticipate future needs; however, it can and should be amended from time to time if conditions warrant reconsideration of policies in the plan.

Figure 1.2: MSA Planning Model

The plan serves the following purposes: 

It is a guide for decisions and actions by Village leaders on issues addressed in the plan, especially land use.



It guides public and private investment in the Village and will be used to support grant funding requests.



It features statistical data and community opinions collected during the planning process - these provide context for policies in the plan and they form a benchmark for future reference and comparison.

The plan is organized into four chapters plus several important appendices.

Chapter 1: Intr oduction Chapter 2: Vision, Goals, Objectives, and P olicies - presents a vision for the future of the community and describes goals, objectives, and policies to achieve that vision. This chapter addresses all planning elements except land use.

Chapter 3: Land Use - defines categories of land use and features a Future Land Use map showing where each use will be permitted.

Chapter 4: Im plementation - describes the tools and procedures by which the plan will be

implemented.

Appendix A: Com m unity I ndicator s - a compilation of data that describe existing conditions, trends, and projections for the Village. This data informs the planning process and should be updated from time to time to track progress and change in the Village.

Appendix B : P ublic I npu t - a compilation of opinions and ideas collected from stakeholders that participated in the planning process, including results from a community survey.

Appendix C: Action P lan - a set of actions to be pursued in the next 1-2 years to help the Village realize the vision, goals, and objectives in this plan. This action plan is to be updated every 1-2 years.

Appendix D: P lan Ar ea Maps – a set of the existing conditions and future land use maps with the entire plan area, including the 1 ½ mile extraterritorial area.

A note about amendments and updates Village policies are concentrated in Chapters 2 and 3, and amendments to these chapters require a formal process as defined by state statute (see Chapter 4 for details). The appendices may be updated as desired without the full amendment procedures. Action Plan updates should be consistent with the policies in Chapters 2 and 3.

On March 8th, 2011, the Village of Dane Plan Commission began work on this comprehensive plan by hosting a public meeting at which residents shared their concerns and aspirations for the future of the Village. The following vision statement is one outcome of that meeting – it describes Dane as we wish it to be in 2030. This shared vision is the foundation of our plan – the goals, objectives, policies, and actions that follow are all intended to help us realize this vision.

VISION STATEMENT

The Village of Dane is…

A vibrant community where residents know one another and participate in local organizations and events. The Village’s “small-town” charm, walkable and bikable neighborhoods, diverse housing options, low taxes and low crime make Dane a place that people want to live.

The Village has a small but active and attractive downtown district featuring businesses that meet the basic needs of Village residents and also attract visitors with unique offerings and excellent service. The Village celebrates and protects its agricultural resources and heritage. A downtown community center provides a place for Dane resident to use for a variety of purposes.

Village growth is managed at a reasonable pace and new development is integrated with older portions of the community. Village leaders continue to nurture collaborative relationships with neighboring towns, cities, and villages, and Dane County, to provide for a high quality of life in Dane in the most efficient manner possible.

CHAP TE R 2

Goals, Objectives & P olicies

Each element of the comprehensive plan contains goals, objectives, and policies established during the planning process based on public input and the information contained in Appendix A: Community Indicators. This section defines goals, objectives and policies, as follows:

Goal : A goal is a long-term target that states what the community wants to accomplish. Written in

general terms, the statement offers a desired condition.

Objective: An objective is a statement that identifies a course of action to achieve a goal. They are more specific than goals and are usually attainable through planning and implementation activities.

P olicy: A policy is a specific rule of conduct or course of action intended to help the Village achieve the goals and objectives of the plan. Policies using the words “shall” or “will” are firm commitments by the Village – all future actions and decisions made by the Village should be consistent with these policies. Policies using the words “should,” “encourage,” “discourage,” or “may” are intended to serve as a guide for Village decisions and actions.

This chapter features relevant results from a survey of residents conducted in March 2010.

See Appendix B for complete survey results.

R einforce the character of the Village and surrounding landscape by preserving agricultu ral lands and activities, rural vistas, and natural areas

Objectives:

1. Preserve productive agricultural lands for continued agricultural use whenever possible.

2. Identify and preserve key rural vistas valued by Village residents.

3. Avoid land use conflicts between urban and rural uses along the periphery of the Village.

Survey respondents over-whelmingly believe it is important to preserve natural and agricultural features in the Planning Area, including wetlands (76%), farmland (90%), wildlife habitat (85%), forest/woodlands (76%), lakes/river shorelines (75%), scenic views (89%), undeveloped hilltops (75%), and surface water (82%).

P olicies:

1. The Village supports programs to improve the quality of local water resources by reducing non-point and point source pollution.

2. The Village will use its zoning and subdivision powers to protect waterways, shorelines, wetlands, steep slopes and floodplain areas within the Village’s extraterritorial area.

This is of great importance in guarding against unnecessary erosion as land gets developed.

2011-2031 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

The majority of survey respondents support stricter regulations on pesticides/fertilizer use (56%), development near surface water (69%), stormwater management (63%), and erosion control (64%).

2.2 E conom ic P rosperity Citizen Concerns Shared at the B eginning of the P lanning P rocess • • • • • • • •

GOAL 1

• •

Lack of family-oriented businesses (e.g. a sit-down restaurant) Lost only bank Lack of business park / employment Limited tax base Limited growth prospects Strong competition from neighboring communities Failure to attract families Population decline (kids move away) Lack of customer base Little to attract visitors

Attract, retain, create, and expand businesses th at strengthen and diversify the local econom y, grow the tax base, and enhance the downtown area.

Objectives:

1. Maintain strategies to promote sustainable economic development.

2. Use the Village’s strengths and assets as economic drivers, especially agricultural assets.

3. Avoid land use conflicts between business and non-business use.

P olicies:

1. The Village supports the expansion of existing businesses, and also supports the attraction and development of new businesses that complement existing establishments.

Over half of the survey respondents felt the Village needs improvement in support for business development (59%), retention of existing businesses (53%), and enough family-supporting jobs (67%).

2. The Village promotes business growth connected to the agricultural economy, including local food production, value-added products (e.g. certified organic products), and specialty shops.

CHAP TE R 2

Goals, Objectives & P olicies

3. The Village supports the idea of public-private partnerships and will work proactively with private business and land owners to facilitate investment in the community.

4. The Village will collaborate with neighboring municipalities, Dane County, and local and regional economic development organizations to promote economic prosperity for the region.

65% of survey respondents believe the Village should focus their efforts on recruiting industrial and commercial businesses.

5. The Village may consider the use of public land acquisition to expand the industrial and commercial tax base of Dane.

6. The Village encourages brownfield or infill (re)development and development of existing business and industry parks in the region before considering creating new business or industry parks in Dane.

Brownfield development refers to the redevelopment of blighted or contaminated commercial or industrial parcels.

7. The Village will work with private landowners and State agencies to clean up contaminated or blighted sites that threaten the public health, safety and welfare and to redevelop these sites to productive uses.

A cottage industry is generally defined as a small business located entirely within a dwelling, or inan accessory structure located on the same lot or tract as a dwelling, which complies with the requirements of local code. The use is clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the property and is compatible with adjacent land uses. Cottage industries generally employ less than five full time employees, generate low traffic volumes, and have little or no noise, smoke, odor, dust, glare, or vibration detectable at any property line.

8. The Village supports the development of farm-based businesses and cottage industries within its boundaries and extraterritorial area to support farm families and enhance the agricultural economy and identity of the area.

Infill development refers to developing or redeveloping vacant sites within built up areas.

9. The Village promotes its downtown as a compact, pedestrian-oriented business district that supports employment, shopping, housing, and recreation opportunities.

10. The Village requires industrial or commercial businesses that generate large volumes of traffic or wastewater, or have a high water demand to locate where a full range of utilities, services, roads, and other infrastructure is available to adequately support such developments.

When asked what type of industrial establishments they would support, respondents answered light manufacturing (81%), high-tech manufacturing (70%), transport industrial (52%), and nonintensive agricultural operations (47%).

11. The Village maintains design guidelines for businesses to address landscaping, aesthetics, lighting, noise, parking, and access (see Section 2.4).

12. The Village supports home occupations and home-based businesses in residential districts as a means to enhance residents’ income opportunities, increase local employment, and foster business creation and entrepreneurship. However, activities that alter the residential character of the neighborhood, such as objectionable changes in traffic, noise, odor, light, or appearance of the home and property, will not be permitted.

2.3 Housing Citizen Concerns Shared at the B eginning of the P lanning P rocess •

GOAL 1

•

Need more affordable housing for seniors Property taxes high compared to other communities

P lan for safe, attractive, and affordable housing to m eet existing and forecasted housing dem ands

Objectives:

1. Design neighborhoods that integrate a range of housing types, densities and costs, consistent with the traditional character of the Village.

2. Ensure that residential developments are built and maintained according to levels deemed safe by industry standards.

P olicies:

1. The Village encourages the integration of varied housing types and lot sizes throughout the community to meet the needs of residents of varied income, age and health status. This may include a blend of single-family, twofamily, multiple family or senior housing choices within the same development area.

A significant number of survey respondents who had an opinion see a need for single family units (79%), duplexes (45%), apartments (42%), townhomes (37%), affordable housing (57%), senior condominiums (61%), and assisted living for seniors (53%).

2. The Village supports infill and redevelopment practices to reinvigorate older portions of the community. In the downtown area, the Village will consider creative development or redevelopment that includes a mix of residential units, small businesses and/or civic spaces.

3. All residential development, and particularly multiple-family and senior living developments, should be located in areas where safe pedestrian access to parks, retail, and community facilities is

possible. However this policy should not result in the concentration of multiple-family housing in any one area – such housing should be located in many parts of the Village, consistent with Policy 1.

4. The Village maintains a comprehensive building code that requires inspection of new structures and repair of unsafe and unsanitary housing conditions.

5. The Village supports programs that maintain or rehabilitate the local housing stock. The Village discourages the use of properties for the accumulation of “junk” materials 1, and will enforce property maintenance/public nuisance ordinances as needed.

80% of the survey respondents agree that the Village should focus on improving the existing housing quality.

6. The Village plans to maintain a mix of housing units, including approximately 85-90% single-family and 10-15% duplex and multi-family housing units. Multi-family development should be in small buildings (four units or less), though senior housing developments could be larger.

E nsure hig h quality site and building designs within the co m m unity to uphold property values and reinforce the character of the Villag e

Objective:

1. Guide the design of new development such that new development and existing development can coexist in an attractive manner.

2. Maintain site and building design guidelines for new development, especially commercial development, which establish a small-town, “pedestrian-oriented” environment.

3. Enhance the aesthetic appearance of the Village, especially along Main Street.

P olicy:

1. Utilities – The Village wishes to bury overhead utilities lines and will evaluate the cost of doing so during street reconstruction projects.

2. Histor ic R esour ces - The Village encourages maintenance and 69% of survey respondents rehabilitation of older and historic buildings and will support believe it is important to community events and programs that celebrate the history and preserve cultural/historic culture of Dane. The Village will ensure that any known cemeteries, sites and buildings. human burials or archaeological sites are protected from encroachment by roads or other development activities.

Construction activities on a development site shall cease when unidentifiable archaeological artifacts are uncovered during either land preparation or construction. The developer shall notify the Village of such discovery.

Goals, Objectives & P olicies

3. B uilding Locations in the E xtr ater r ito r ial Ar ea – Any development in the 1-1/2 mile extraterritorial planning area should be consistent with the Village zoning and subdivision requirements.

4. Natur al R esour ces – Avoid fragmentation and isolation of natural areas and corridors. To the extent possible, developers shall preserve any existing woodlands and mature trees during and after development. Building development shall be severely limited in areas designated as shorelands, wetlands, floodplains, and areas within steep slopes. In areas with significant environmental sensitive resources or prime agricultural land, the Village encourages the use of cluster development in and adjacent to the Village’s municipal boundary, and conservation subdivision design in rural sections of the Planning Area. Both design practices are alternatives to conventional land division practices, and help to protect the rich natural and agricultural resources of the region. See Figure 2.1 and the text below for similarities and differences between these alternative subdivision design types.

Common Principles  Create pedestrian trails through common open space areas  Arrange lots so that houses are not placed on exposed hilltops or ridgelines  Design streets and lot layouts to blend with natural and land contours  Provide vegetative buffers between building sites, wetlands and streams beyond the minimum setback standards  Preserve mature trees, stone rows, and tree lines  Restore the quality and continuity of degraded environmental areas within the subdivision, such as streams and wetlands Differences  Cluster development groups parcels in close proximity of one another, limiting the number of streets needed and decreasing the distance utilities have to be run. This is not a primary goal of conservation developments, which can have just as much pavement and utility runs as conventional development practices (dependent on environmental limitations).  Conservation development usually attempts to hide development from the main road(s) through natural topography, landscape buffers and setbacks in order to preserve rural character. This is not a primary goal of cluster development.

5. Single-Fam ily R esidential - The Village will consider alternative development approaches such as Traditional Neighborhood Development with shallow building setbacks, small lots, and front porches.

6. Multi-Fam ily R esid ential - Any multi-family building should be of high quailty, and should complement the design and character of the surrounding neighborhood. The general guidelines below apply to new multi-family development:  Parking and Buffering: Fit the parking below the building or place surface parking behind the building. Provide landscaping of sufficient size to screen parking areas from the street and neighboring properties. Use landscape islands to limit the aesthetic and ecological impacts of large parking areas.  Service Areas: Trash containers, recycling containers, street-level mechanical, and rooftop mechanical should be located or screened so that they are not visible from a public street.

Screening should be compatible with building architecture and other site features.  Common Open Space: Provide gardens, grass areas, and play areas to serve the needs of the residents. The use of contiguous back yards to create a larger network of open space is encouraged.

7. Com m er cial and I ndustr ial Develop m ent - Commercial and industrial uses provide the Village with economic stability and provides goods, services, and jobs for its residents. However, the buildings designed for these uses are often not adaptable for another use after the initial user leaves. The following guidelines illustrations (Figures 2.2, 2.3, 2.5) are intended to ensure highquality and long-lasting buildings:  Relationship to the Street: Design the building such that the primary building façade is orientated towards the street. Provide a public entrance on the primary façade.  Architectural Character: Design the building using architectural elements that provides visual interest and human scale that relates to the surrounding neighborhood context and the Village’s overall character.  Building Materials: Use high-quality, long-lasting finish materials such as kiln-fired brick, stucco, and wood. All exposed sides of the building should have similar or complementary materials as used on the front façade.

Figure 2.2: Desired Sign Types

 Building Projections: Canopies, awnings, and/or gable-roof projections should be provided along facades that give access to the building.  Signage: Use pedestrian-scaled sign types: building-mounted, window, projecting, monument, and awning. Signs should not be excessive in height or square footage.

2011-2031 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

2-11

CHAP TE R 2

Goals, Objectives & P olicies

 Parking: Fit the parking below the building or place it on the side/back of the building, wherever feasible. Provide shared parking and access between properties to minimize the number of curb cuts. Provide vegetative buffers between pedestrian circulation routes and vehicular parking/circulation. Access drive lanes should have adequate throat depths to allow for proper vehicle stacking.  Landscaping and Lighting: Provide generous landscaping, with an emphasis on native plant species. Landscaping should be placed along street frontages, between incompatible land uses, along parking areas, and in islands of larger parking lots. Exterior lights should be fullcut-off fixtures that are directed towards the ground to minimize glare and light pollution.

Figure 2.3: Desired Outdoor Lighting

 Stormwater: Use rain gardens and bio-retention basins on-site (i.e. in parking islands) in order to filter pollutants and infiltrate runoff, wherever feasible.  Service Areas: Trash and recycling containers/dumpsters, street-level mechanical, rooftop mechanical, outdoor storage, and loading docks should be located or screened so that they are not visible from a public street. Screening should be compatible with building architecture and other site features.

8. Tr anspor tation Facilities - Transportation facilities shall be designed and maintained according to the following guidelines.  Street Design: Streets should be designed to the minimum width that will reasonably satisfy safety and maintenance needs. Local streets should not be as wide as collector streets, or “micro-freeways,” which encourages higher travel speeds. Streets should be laid out in a manner that takes advantage of the natural topography and aligns with existing facilities. The use of traditional or modified grid-like street patterns, as opposed to multiple cul-de-sacs and dead end roads, is strongly encouraged.  Traffic-Calming Devices: Traffic-calming devices and designs are encouraged, where appropriate.

Specific measures may include: curb extensions/intersection bump outs, roundabouts, teardrop islands, median and refuge islands, or turning circles.  Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements: The Village will design streets for bike safety, and will consider pedestrian/bike facility improvements when roads are reconstructed/repaved/constructed, especially in areas near existing facilities. Specific measures include sidewalks, on-street bike lanes, bicycle route markers, off-street trails, and tweetens (mid-block foot paths). Some local streets may be safe for walking and biking without the need for sidewalks; however, collector or arterial streets should feature sidewalks for

3. P edest r ian and B icycle Facilities – The Village will explore with the Village of Waunakee and the City of Lodi the feasibility of a regional pedestrian/bicycle trail route.

The Village will work with property owners to create a local bicycle loop (using on- and off-road facilities) to connect important sites within the Village (e.g. parks and public facilities). New developments, and redevelopment, shall be designed to connect to adjacent development and existing/planned pedestrian or bicycle facilities.

Over the next 10 years, the majority of the survey respondents who had an opinion agreed that transportation investment should be made to improve bicycling opportunities (56%) and pedestrian opportunities (67%).

4. Maintain Condition Standar ds for Village R oadways – The Village will strive to maintain an average PASER rating of 7 for all Village streets (recommended by WisDOT) dependent on budgetary constraints, and will establish and prioritize future road projects based on the applicable PASER scores, ADT data, current/future land use plans. The Village will retrofit existing roadways to allow for safe bicycling (i.e. pave shoulder) when improving existing streets.

Nearly 70% of respondents rated Dane’s road system as good or excellent.

5. P r ot ection of Village Str eets – When considering new development proposals the Village may require intergovernmental agreements that define the responsibilities of the Village, the developer and neighboring jurisdictions regarding any required improvements to Village streets and funding of such improvements. The Village may also require that the property owner, or their agent, fund the preparation of a traffic impact analysis by an independent professional prior to approving new development. Where appropriate, the Village may designate weight restrictions and truck routes to protect local streets.

6. Coor dination of I m pr ovem ents to County and State Highways – The Village will work with representatives from the WisDOT and Dane County to raise awareness of local concerns when State and County highways in the area are slated for improvement. The Village will coordinate improvements to adjacent local roads, when appropriate.

7. J oint P lanning of R oads that Cr oss J ur isdictions – The Village will work with the Town of Dane to plan, construct and maintain those roadways that cross jurisdictions, including cost sharing where appropriate.

8. Futur e Tr anspor tation P lanning – The Village will actively participate in any discussions and planning for any form of public transit or passenger rail should these transportation alternatives become feasible in the Village in the future.

Maintain reliab le an d high quality services, utilities and facilities

Objectives:

1. Ensure that public/private utilities and facilities are constructed and maintained according to professional and governmental standards to protect the public heath, minimize disruption to the natural environment and to reinforce the traditional character of the Village (refer to Chapter 2.4).

2. Monitor satisfaction with public and private utility and service providers, and seek adjustments as necessary to maintain adequate service levels.

3. Ensure that public facilities and services continue to meet the needs of residents and businesses, especially as new development increases demand for those facilities and services.

Over half of the survey respondents rated the Village services as good or excellent (except library and police services).

Several services were rated good or excellent by over 75% of the respondents.

P olicies:

1. Utility Ser vices and E xt ensions – The Village encourages logical, cost-efficient expansion of utilities to serve compact development patterns. The Village will plan for utility extensions on a system basis, rather than as a series of individual projects and will require that developers locate and size utilities with enough capacity to serve adjacent future growth. The Village generally requires all development that relies on municipal services to be located within the Village of Dane’s

corporate limits. Development permits shall not be issued unless there is adequate provision for necessary public facilities to serve such developments.

2. Sanitar y Sewer – The Village will guide new urban growth to areas within the Sanitary Sewer Service Area (SSA). Development in the SSA shall be designed so that it can be easily and efficiently served with municipal services. Non-farm development not served by public sanitary sewer and water is discouraged within the 2025 SSA boundary, except as approved through intergovernmental planning or related agreements, consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, and designed to potentially accommodate the long-term retrofitting of public services into the development. In areas not served by municipal sewer, the Village requires adherence to the Wisconsin Sanitary Code and Dane County Sanitary Code.

3. Water Supply – The Village will monitor the quality and quantity of water pumped from Village wells to ensure the needs of the community are met in terms of health and sustainability. The Village encourages programs and development techniques that support water conservation and both groundwater protection and recharge.

4. Stor m water Managem ent – The Village requires that during development planning, and then site construction, natural drainage patterns (i.e. existing drainage corridors, streams, floodplains and wetlands) are preserved and protected whenever possible. Developers will be responsible for erosion control and stormwater quality and quantity control both during and after site preparation and construction activities in accordance with applicable local, county or state regulations. The Village encourages the use of stormwater management devices that improve the quality and reduce the quantity of runoff (e.g. rain gardens, infiltration basins, vegetated swales) in the design of stormwater management plans and a general effort to reduce the amount of impervious surfaces within new or existing developments.

5. Solid Waste and R ecycling – The Village annually reviews levels of service provided by the contracted solid waste disposal and recycling services and will meet with them as necessary to address any concerns raised by residents or local businesses. The Village encourages participation in recycling and clean sweep programs for the disposal of hazardous materials.

The Village encourages the connectivity of local parks and recreational facilities with regional facilities, via bicycle trials or marked routes on existing roads. The Village requires all proposed residential subdivision developments to dedicate land, or pay a fee in lieu thereof, for public parks, recreation and open space acquisition and development (in accordance with State Statute).

7. P ower P lants, Tr ansm ission Lines, and Teleco m m unication Facilities – The Village will work with representatives from the Public Service Commission and energy providers to raise awareness of local concerns during the planning and siting of any major transmission lines, facilities, natural gas lines, wind towers or telecommunication towers. If such facilities are proposed, they should be located in an area safely away from existing or planned residential areas and should avoid

environmentally sensitive areas. Underground placement and co-location (or corridor sharing) of utilities is encouraged and the Village will investigate the costs of burying utility lines as part of street reconstruction projects.

8. E ner gy Conser vation – The Village supports the efforts of energy providers, government agencies and others, to inform residents about energy conservation measures. The use of energy-efficient materials or designs is highly encouraged, including LEED certification. The Village will consider the use of energy efficient alternatives when upgrading local buildings or equipment.

9. R enewable E n er gy Facilities – The Village will work with energy providers and land owners to support appropriate applications of renewable energy and utilization of onsite distributed energy generation (e.g., solar, wind, geo-thermal, biomass, solid waste) as a means of protecting the Village against future fluctuations in energy costs. The Village allows the installation of solar and wind energy systems in line with WI State Statute 66.0401.

10. Cem eter ies – The Village will collaborate with local church associations regarding the need for additional or expanded cemeteries if and when that need is identified by the church association.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council that provides a suite of standards for environmentally sustainable construction.

WI State Statute 66.0401: Solar & Wind Systems No county, village, town or village may place any restriction, either directly or in effect, on the installation or use of a solar energy system (as defined in s.13.48(2)(h)1.g.), or a wind energy system (as defined in s.66.0415 (1)(m)), unless the restriction satisfies one of the following conditions: • Serves to preserve or protect public health or safety.

• Does not significantly increase the cost of the system or significantly decrease its efficiency.

• Allows for an alternative system of comparable cost and efficiency.

11. Special Needs Facilities – The Village works with Dane County and adjacent communities to maintain and improve access to special needs facilities (i.e. health care and childcare) for area residents.

12. E m er gen cy Ser vices – The Village works with the Dane Police Department, Dane Fire District, and Waunakee Area EMS to maintain adequate provision of emergency services (i.e. fire, police, EMS) for Village residents and businesses, and will review service provision levels with the appropriate agencies annually. The Village encourages opportunities for intergovernmental cooperation on emergency services.

13. Schools – The Village collaborates with the Lodi School District and post-secondary institutions to provide high quality educational facilities and opportunities for Village residents, and will actively participate in the planning and siting of any new school facility in the community.

14. Libr ar ies – The Village collaborates with the Waunakee Public Library, Lodi Woman’s Club Public Library, and DeForest Public Library to maintain and improve access to public library facilities for Village residents. The Village will consider building its own library, if such need is warranted in the future.

Refer to Section 2.4 for more information.

A Planned Unit Development (PUD) refers to a parcel of land planned as a single unit, rather than as an aggregate of individual lots, with design flexibility from traditional siting regulations. Within a PUD, variations of densities, setbacks, streets widths, and other requirements are allowed. The variety of development that is possible using PUDs creates opportunities for creativity and innovation within developments. Since there is some latitude in the design of PUDs, the approval process provides opportunities for cooperative planning between the developer, reviewing boards, and other interested parties.

Future Land Use

CHAP TE R 3

3.2 Future Land Use - R ural / E nvironm ental Categories The future land use categories identify areas of similar character, use and density. These land use areas are not zoning districts, as they do not legally set performance criteria for land uses (i.e. setbacks, height restrictions, etc.); however, they do identify those zoning districts from the Village of Dane Zoning Code that currently fit within each future land use classification.

NR P - Natural R es ource P rotection (green cross-hatch)

The NRP overlay classification identifies sensitive lands that may be subject to development restrictions enforced by County, State, or Federal agencies. Mapped NRP areas include all land that meets one or more of the following conditions:  Water bodies and wetlands mapped as part of the WIDNR Wetland Inventory 3, or  100-Year Floodplains based on FEMA maps, or  Areas with steep slopes greater than 20%, or  Areas within 1,000 feet of the ordinary high water mark of navigable lakes, ponds or flowages; or within 300 feet of the ordinary high water mark of navigable 4 rivers or streams, or to the landward side of the floodplain, whichever distance is greater.

The primary intent of these areas is to retain sensitive natural areas in either public or private ownership for the benefit of maintaining fish and wildlife habitat; to prevent and control water pollution; to prevent erosion and sedimentation; to prevent property damage caused by flooding; to preserve areas of natural beauty; and to provide areas for outdoor recreation. A majority of the NRP represents areas that are vital to the region’s ecosystem and are key ingredients of the rural character and image of the Village of Dane, and thus development in areas designated NRP shall be limited.

Appr opr iat e Zoning Distr ict

NRP lands may be zoned as described by the underlying land use classification, but are subject to development restrictions defined by the Wisconsin DNR and the Dane County Shoreland Zoning (Chapter 11) and Floodplain Zoning (Chapter 17) ordinances.

P olicies

1. This classification is intended to function as an overlay district, such that the underlying future land use classification (Rural Preservation, Residential, Industrial, etc.) remains in place, but the overlay classification indicates the possibility of additional restrictions on development.

2. Landowners are advised that land within NRP areas may be restricted from building development, site grading, or vegetation clearing under the Dane County Shoreland Zoning Ordinance and Dane County Stormwater and Erosion Control Plans. The Village maintains that some sites that have steep slopes may be suitable for development with proper site planning.

3. Agricultural and silviculture operations are permitted in accordance with county, state, and federal law. Best Management Practices are highly encouraged in these areas.

3

The WIDNR Wetland Inventory for Dane County was derived from 1986 aerial photography and only includes wetlands which are larger than two (2) acres. Wetlands smaller than five (5) acres may exist within the Planning Area and will be subject to the same development restrictions as lands designated NRP. 4 Determination of navigability shall be made in accordance to the standards set forth in the Dane County Zoning Code.

CHAP TE R 3

Future Land Use

R P - R ural P reservation (tan with black dots)

This land use category is intended for areas where the rural character will be preserved, primarily located in the Village’s extraterritorial jurisdiction. Uses allowed in this future land use category include farming, farmsteads, forestry, open space, rural residential, farm family businesses, or other agriculturerelated businesses. The majority of these lands are undeveloped; however they may contain farmsteads or residential developments generally with a minimum lot size of 1.5 acres. To prevent potential conflicts with farm operations, new housing should locate at the edges of fields, on non-productive lands, and away from hydric (wet) soils. Developments within this category are served by private wells and on-site waste treatment (septic) systems.

Appr opr iat e Zoning Distr ict

Within the municipal boundaries, the Village’s Rural Development (RD) and Agriculture (A-1) districts are most appropriate for this future land use category. All other lands within this future land use category are subject to Dane County zoning.

P olicies

1. Discourage non-farm commercial and industrial uses in areas planned for Rural Preservation, encouraging such developments in areas mapped as “Mixed Use”, “Commercial” or “Industrial”.

2. Require protection of natural resources and water quality with new development is required, including assurance that concentrations of on-site waste treatment systems will not negatively affect groundwater quality.

3. Continue to coordinate local policies with town plans adopted by the County Board for lands mapped “Rural Preservation”.

4. In areas with significant environmental sensitive resources or prime agricultural land, the Village encourages the use of cluster development patterns (near existing municipal boundaries) and conservation subdivision design (in outlying areas). Both design practices are alternatives to conventional lot-by-lot division, and help to protect the rich natural and agricultural resources of the region (see Section 2.4).

5. The Village will allow limited new residential lot development via certified survey map (CSM) in lands designated as “Rural Preservation”, but the Village will not support larger-scale subdivisions plats.

P /OS - P ark and R ecreatio n (light green)

This land use category includes property where active recreation is the primary activity and where there is typically no commercial or residential use. The Village, County, or State usually owns these properties.

Some stormwater management or other utility/institutional uses (e.g., water towers) maybe located within these areas.

Appr opr iat e Zoning Distr icts

The Village’s Conservancy District (C-1) is the most appropriate zoning district for this future land use category; however, Park and Recreation is allowed as a conditional use in all the Village’s residential zoning districts (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and RD) and a permitted use in the Village’s Commercial District (B-1).

P olicies

1. The Village intends to provide sufficient parkland and recreation facilities to meet the recreation demand of Village of Dane residents.

CHAP TE R 3

2. The Village does not intend to require an amendment to the Future Land Use Map prior to the approval of a publicly owned park or recreational use in an area that is currently mapped as another future land use, provided such use is listed as a permitted or conditional use in one of the appropriate zoning districts for this classification.

C - Conservatio n 5 (dark green)

This land use category includes areas that the Village wishes to protect because they are vital to the region's ecosystem and/or they are considered an important part of the Village's character and culture.

Conservation areas may include land that is restricted from development due to slope or wetland characteristics, generally identified with the NRP overlay in this plan. Conservation areas may also include land that is otherwise developable but which the Village chooses to protect by preventing such development. The intended use for Conservation land is passive recreation (bike and walking paths, cross country ski trails, etc.).

Appr opr iat e Zoning Distr ict

The Village’s Conservancy District (C-1) is the most appropriate zoning district for this future land use category.

P olicies

1. The Village does not intend to require an amendment to the Future Land Use Map prior to the approval of a conservation area from another future land use, provided such use is either listed as a permitted or conditional use in one of the appropriate zoning districts for this classification.

2. Recreational development and activities which are compatible with natural resource protection are permitted.

3. In general, building development is prohibited, unless the primary use is for storing materials to maintain the land or to support recreational uses.

Q - Quarry (dark purple)

This category includes lands currently dedicated to quarry operations within the Plan Area. While the plan does not identify new quarry lands, expansion of existing quarry lands is undetermined. This plan also defines a 500-foot Quarry Buffer Area around existing quarry operations. Development will be limited within these areas.

Appr opr iat e Zoning Distr icts

This future land use category is a conditional use under the Village’s Industrial zoning district.

P olicies

1. To mitigate the land use conflicts that result from quarrying, such as noise, truck traffic, dust, and the potential for private well impacts, and the potential for conflicts with quarry operations should the quarry eventually expand, the Village will strongly discourage new residential and commercial development within a 500 feet of existing mining operations.

2. When any new, expanded, or extended quarry operation is proposed near the Village, the Village will seek the following conditions:

5 It should be noted that conservation delineations are shown only for local land use planning purposes and do not indicate any additional County, State or Federal regulations that would affect a landowner’s ability to utilize the property for agricultural or development purposes.

3.3 Future Land Use - Urban Categories The future land use categories identify areas of similar character, use and density. These land use areas are not zoning districts, as they do not legally set performance criteria for land uses (i.e. setbacks, height restrictions, etc.); however, they do identify those zoning districts from the Village of Dane Zoning Code that currently fit within each future land use classification.

R - R esid ential (yellow)

This land use category is intended for existing and planned neighborhoods that feature a mix of housing types with the majority of homes consisting of single-family and duplex units. These neighborhoods will be served by municipal sanitary sewer and water systems. Municipal and institutional land uses (parks, schools, churches, and stormwater facilities) may be built within this district area. The preferred density range is 2-8 units per acre.

Appr opr iat e Zoning Distr icts

The most appropriate zoning for single-family residences is the Village’s Single Family Residential (R-1) district, for two-family residences the Two-Family Residential (R-3) district, for manufactured homes the Single-Family Residential (R-2) District, and for multi-family the Multi-Family (R-4) district.

P olicies

1. The Village strongly encourages the use of contiguous building site The majority of survey development that is adjacent to existing public infrastructure respondents agreed that new (sanitary sewer, municipal water, etc.). housing/neighborhoods should have sidewalks (58%), 2. Natural areas, including wetlands, wildlife habitats, woodland and recreational trails and open unique open spaces, will be protected to the greatest extent space (62%), and park(s) possible. within walking distance (75%).

3. The Village encourages park and open space areas within the neighborhood that are sized and located to provide convenient access from all the neighborhood residents.

4. The Village supports small- to medium-sized senior housing developments, preferably near the downtown area, and small multi-family buildings (up to four units) that are dispersed throughout the community. As a general rule, multi-family developments are most appropriate adjacent to more intensive uses.

5. Community Design Principles (Section 2.4) will be considered when new development is proposed.

MU - Mixed Use (pink)

This land use category is intended for pedestrian-oriented commercial, office, entertainment, civic/institutional, and residential uses in a “traditional downtown setting” with on-street parking and minimal building setbacks. This area will remain as the Village’s focal point and activity center.

Businesses that are encouraged for this area include restaurants, small 63% of survey grocery or specialty food shops, laundromats, hairdressers/barbers, respondents selected jewelers, hardware stores, small professional/business offices uses that “small town” reinforce the village center’s “small-town” character. Several parcels atmosphere as a reason within this area are under-utilized or are in disrepair and are candidates for for living in the Village. redevelopment. The Village will actively promote the rehabilitation or redevelopment of these parcels for commercial, civic, or mixed uses.

CHAP TE R 3

Future Land Use

Appr opr iat e Zoning Distr ict

The Village’s Planned Unit Development (PUD) is the most consistent with this style of development (note: the Village’s Commercial (B-1) district does not allow for buildings to be close to the street or allow residences above ground-floor commercial).

P olicies

1. In order to maintain the Village’s small-town character, the Village will promote site design featuring minimal setbacks and limited off-site parking areas. Uses requiring extensive parking may be directed to areas outside the downtown.

2. The Village strongly encourages the concentration of new downtown development placing emphasis on creating an integrated business street, rather than several separated, individual business sites.

3. The Village strongly encourages infill and redevelopment of existing properties in the Village’s central area.

78% of respondents agree that new housing/neighborhoods should have a mix of residential and small businesses.

C - Com m ercial (red)

This land use category accommodates large-scale commercial and office uses with locational requirements and operational characteristics not suitable within the Mixed Use district. Businesses that are encouraged for this area include high-volume restaurants and drive-thru establishments, gas stations, and other high-traffic uses.

More than three-quarters of respondents felt the Village lacked enough retail shops (85%), office development (67%), and restaurants (79%).

Appropriate Zoning Districts The Village’s Commercial (B-1) and Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning districts are most appropriate for areas within this future land use category.

P olicies 1. The Village encourages commercial uses that fit the “small-town” character of the downtown area to develop or remain in the downtown.

2. The Village will require new development along WI-113 to adhere to established standards for highway access control, shared driveways and cross access.

3. The Village discourages “strip” retail development and long linear corridors of purely commercial growth. The Community Design Principles (section 2.4) will be considered when development is proposed in this area.

The top five retail establishment types desired by survey respondents are family restaurants (92%), convenience stores (71%), small specialty shops (69%), supermarkets (66%), and fast food restauarants (51%).

R /C - R ecreatio nal Com m ercial (red with green hatch)

The primary intent of this classification is to identify areas which provide private recreational activities through a commercial business or fraternal organization. As mapped, this designation may include hunting, fishing, and sports clubs; campgrounds; golf courses; and other recreational facilities.

P olicies

1. The Village prohibits hunting, shooting, or archery uses locating within residential areas outlined within this Plan.

2. The Village will require an amendment to the Future Land Use Map if and when a new commercial recreational use is proposed.

I - Industrial (light purple)

This land use category is appropriate for indoor manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, office and outdoor storage usage. The intensity of office and industrial development is regulated by the Village’s zoning ordinance.

64% of survey respondents felt the Village had enough light industrial development, while 34% felt the Village did not have enough industrial.

Appr opr iat e Zoning Distr icts

The Village’s Industrial (I-1) zoning district is most appropriate for this future land use category.

P olicies

1. The Village discourages commercial development in the areas planned for “Industrial”, unless it is a support service to the industrial properties.

2. Community Design Principles (Section 2.4) will be considered when new development is proposed.

Of survey respondents who had an opinion, 63% supported nonintensive agricultural related businesses, 65% supported transport industrial, 86% supported high-tech manufacturing, and 91% supported light manufacturing.

P - P ublic/Institutional (dark blue)

This land use category includes properties owned by the Village, the school district, and religious institutions. These uses are planned to remain at their present locations in and near the center of the Village to continue to conveniently serve residents.

Appr opr iat e Zoning Distr icts

Institutional buildings are allowed as a conditional use in the Village’s residential zoning districts (R-1, R2, R-3, R-4, and RD).

P olicies

1. The Village will work with institutions and the surrounding neighborhood when discussing potential expansions or new facilities and how these plans would impact the area.

2. The Village does not intend to require an amendment to the Future Land Use Map prior to the approval of a proposed public or institutional use in an area that is currently mapped as another future land use, provided such use is either listed as a permitted or conditional use in one of the appropriate zoning districts for this classification.

3.4 Future Land Use Map Alternatives Upon completion of the existing conditions analysis, community survey, planning policies, and a working session with Plan Commission focused on developing a future land use map, the consultant prepared two future land use alternatives for review by the Plan Commission.

The alternatives identify different development options to be carefully considered and discussed.

Based on feedback from the Plan Commission, aspects of each were combined into the recommendations contained in the final Future Land Use Map discussed in Section 3.5 (also see Appendix D: Map 6).

Sim ilarities

Both Alternatives 1 and 2 focused the majority of the new development away from farms participating in the State’s Farmland Preservation Program.

Future commercial and industrial growth is planned along STH 113, primarily near the eastern edge of the Village, with existing development unchanged. Mixed-use development is encouraged within the downtown area, and new residential is shown adjacent to existing development.

Alternative One

Differen ces

Alternative One concentrates new development in the Village’s current borders, except for an industrial area just north of STH 113; maintains the working farm along Military Road; shows commercial at all four corners of the Dane/Military intersection; and introduces a large residential neighborhood in the northwest section with smaller developments in the southwest, north and central portions of the Village.

Alternative Two shows the Village expanding to the east with new commercial, industrial and residential development; shows smaller residential developments in the southwest, northeast and north portions of the Village; extends the industrial area on Dane Street north to Military Road; and doubles the size of Meinrod Karls Park.

CHAP TE R 3

3.5 Future Land Use Map Based on discussion about the consultant’s two alternatives discussed in Section 3.4, Plan Commission developed the final future land use map as shown in Figure 3.1. The Future Land Use Plan, in conjunction with the other chapters of this plan (in particular Chapter 2), should be used by Village staff and officials to guide recommendations and decisions on rezoning and other development requests.

The Future Land Use Map has been designed to accommodate a larger population and more growth than what is projected by WIDOA forecasts (see the Community Indicators Appendix). The Village does not assume that all growth areas depicted on the Future Land Use Map will develop during the next 20 years. Instead, the Future Land Use Map depicts those areas that are the most logical development areas based on the goals and policies of this plan, overall development trends, environmental constraints, proximity to existing development, and the ability to provide services. The Village does not support the rezoning or development of all the lands identified on the maps immediately following adoption of this Plan.

Other factors will have to be considered, such as the quality of the proposed development, the ability to provide services to the site, and the phasing of development.

3.6 Future Land Use Map – Interpreting B oundaries Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts shown on the Future Land Use Map, the following rules will apply: 1. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, or alleys will be construed to follow such centerlines.

2. Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines or U.S. Public Land Survey lines will be construed as following such lot lines.

3. Boundaries indicated as approximately following municipal boundaries will be construed as following such boundaries.

4. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines will be construed to be midway between the main tracks.

5. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines and floodplains, will be construed to follow such shorelines and floodplains, and in the event of change in the shorelines and floodplains, it will be construed as moving the mapped boundary.

6. Boundaries indicated as following the centerlines of streams, rivers, canals, or other bodies of water will be construed to follow such centerlines.

7. Boundaries indicated as parallel to extension of features indicated in the preceding above will be so construed. The scale of the map will determine distances not specifically indicated on the map

3.7 Future Land Use Map - Am endm ents The Village of Dane recognizes that from time to time it may be necessary to amend the future land use map to account for changes in the current planning environment that were not anticipated. A property owner may petition 6 for a change to the Future Land Use Map 7. The Village will consider petitions based on the following criteria: Agr icultur al

The land does not have a history of productive farming activities or is not viable for long-term agricultural use. The land is too small to be economically used for agricultural purposes, or is inaccessible to the machinery needed to produce and harvest products.

Com patibility

The proposed development will not have a substantial adverse effect upon adjacent property or the character of the area, with a particular emphasis on existing agricultural operations and residential 6

Petitions to change future land use classifications may only be submitted by landowners (or their agents) within the Village, by Village Officials, or by officials from adjacent municipalities.

7 Changes in the Future Land Use Map, and associated policies, shall require a recommendation from the Village Plan Commission, a public hearing, and Village Board approval.

neighborhoods. A petitioner may indicate approaches that will minimize incompatibilities between uses.

Natur al R esour ces

The land does not include important natural features such as wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes, scenic vistas or significant woodlands, which will be adversely affected by the proposed development. The proposed building envelope is not located within the setback of Shoreland and Floodplain zones (raised above regional flood line). The proposed development will not result in undue water, air, light, or noise pollution. Petitioner may indicate approaches that will preserve or enhance the most important and sensitive natural features of the proposed site.

E m er gen cy Vehicle Access

The lay of the land will allow for construction of appropriate roads and/or driveways that are suitable for travel or access by emergency vehicles.

Ability to P r ovide Ser vices

Provision of public facilities and services will not place an unreasonable burden on the ability of the Village to provide and fund those facilities and services. Petitioners may demonstrate to the Village that the current level of services in the Village, including but not limited to school capacity, transportation system capacity, emergency services capacity (police, fire, EMS), parks and recreation, library services, and potentially water and/or sewer services, are adequate to serve the proposed use. Petitioners may also demonstrate how they will assist the Village with any shortcomings in public services or facilities.

P ublic Need

There is a clear public need for the proposed change or unanticipated circumstances have resulted in a need for the change. The proposed development is likely to have a positive fiscal impact on the Village.

The Village may require that the property owner, or their agent, fund the preparation of a fiscal impact analysis by an independent professional.

Adher en ce to Other P o r tions of this P lan

The proposed development is consistent with the general vision for the Village, and the other goals, objectives, and policies of this Plan.

This Chapter describes the implementation tools available to the Village, including an assessment of current use and future intention to make use of those tools. This chapter addresses the issue of consistency, including how this plan is consistent with existing policies that affect the Village and how local decisions must be consistent with this plan. Finally, this chapter describes the process for reviewing implementation progress and amending the plan in future years.

4.1 Im plem entation Tools Local codes and ordinances are an important means of implementing the policies of a comprehensive plan. The zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations comprise the principal regulatory devices used to protect existing development and guide future growth as prescribed by the comprehensive plan. The Village Board is responsible for amending and adopting these local ordinances.

Zoning Ordinance

Zoning is used to regulate the use of land and the design and placement of structures. A zoning ordinance establishes how lots may be developed, including setbacks and separation for structures, the height and bulk of those structures, and density. The general purpose for zoning is to avoid undesirable side effects of development by segregating incompatible uses and by setting standards for individual uses. It is also one of the important legal tools that a community can use to control development and growth. ďƒ˜ Zoning is controlled through the Village of Dane Zoning Code. The Village intends to use this plan along with the Village’s Zoning Ordinance to guide future development.

Official Maps

An official map shows areas identified as necessary for future public streets, recreation areas, and other public grounds. By showing the area on the Official Map, the municipality puts the property owner on notice that the property has been reserved for future dedication for a public facility or purpose. The municipality may refuse to issue a permit for any building or development on the designated parcel; however, the municipality has one year to purchase the property upon notice by the owner of the intended development.

CHAP TE R 4

Im plem entation

 The Village does not currently utilize an official map as authorized to do so by state statute 61.35 (via 62.23 (6)), and the Village will investigate the option of creating one.

Sign R egulatio ns

Local governments may adopt regulations, such as sign ordinances, to limit the height and other dimensional characteristics of advertising and identification signs. The purpose of these regulations is to promote the well-being of the community by ensuring that signs do not compromise the rights of Village residents to a safe, healthful and attractive environment.  The Village does not have a sign ordinance. Sign requirements are regulated under the Village’s Zoning Code. This Plan includes several policies relating to sign development and the Village of Dane should work to make sure they are addressed during development review.

E rosion/S torm water Contro l Ordinances

The purpose of stormwater or erosion control ordinances is to establish rules that will prevent or reduce water pollution caused by the development or redevelopment of land. Local stormwater ordinances may be adopted to supplement existing Dane County and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources permit requirements.  The Village has an Erosion and Stormwater Management ordinance (see Title 15: Chapter 2).

Historic P reservation Ordin ances

An historic preservation ordinance is established to protect, enhance, and perpetuate buildings of special character or the special historic or aesthetic interest of districts that represent a community's cultural, social, economic, political, and architectural history. The jurisdiction’s governing body may create a landmarks commission to designate historic landmarks and establish historic districts.

In accordance with Wisconsin Statutes 101.121 and 44.44, a municipality (city, town or county) may request the State Historical Society of Wisconsin to certify a local historic preservation ordinance in order to establish a “certified municipal register of historic property” to qualify locally designated historic buildings for the Wisconsin Historic Building Code. The purpose of the Wisconsin Historic Building Code, which has been developed by the Department of Commerce, is to facilitate the preservation or restoration of designated historic buildings through the provision of alternative building standards. Owners of qualified historic buildings are permitted to elect to be subject to the Historic Building code in lieu of any other state or municipal building codes.

 The Village does not have an historic preservation ordinance at this time.

Site P lan R egulations

A site plan is a detailed plan of a lot indicating all proposed improvements. Some communities have regulations requiring site plans prepared by an engineer, surveyor, or architect. Site plan regulations may require specific inclusions like: General Layout, Drainage and Grading, Utilities, Erosion Control, Landscaping and Lighting, and Building Elevations.  The Village does not have site plan regulation at this time.

Design R eview Ordinances

Design Review Ordinances are used to protect the character of a community by regulating aesthetic design issues. They include guidelines that can address a wide range of building and site design criteria, and they are typically implemented by a design review committee that reviews all proposed development within a designated area for consistency with the guidelines. Areas designated for application of a design review ordinance are called overlay districts, and they do not change the underlying zoning regulations.  The Village does not have a design review ordinance at this time. However, the Village has established specific site and design principals in Section 2.4 of this plan.

B uilding Codes an d Housin g Codes

The Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC) is the statewide building code for one- and two-family dwellings built since June 1, 1980. As of January 1, 2005, there is enforcement of the UDC in all Wisconsin municipalities. Municipal or county building inspectors who must be state-certified primarily enforce the UDC. In lieu of local enforcement, municipalities have the option to have the state provide enforcement through state-certified inspection agencies for just new homes. Permit requirements for alterations and additions will vary by municipality. Regardless of permit requirements, state statutes require compliance with the UDC rules by owners and builders even if there is no enforcement.  The Village requires adherence to the Uniform Dwelling Code, including building permit and inspection requirements.

Mechanical Co des

In the State of Wisconsin, the 2000 International Mechanical Code (IMC) and 2000 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) have been adopted with Wisconsin amendments for application to commercial buildings.  The Village requires adherence to all state mechanical codes.

Sanitary Codes

The Wisconsin Uniform Plumbing Code (WUPC), which is usually enforced by a county, provides local regulation for communities that do not have municipal sanitary service. The WUPC establishes rules for the proper siting, design, installation, inspection and management of private onsite wastewater treatment systems (POWTS) and non-plumbing sanitation systems.  The Village requires adherence to the Wisconsin Uniform Plumbing Code and Dane County POWTS maintenance agreements.

R enewable E nergy Ordinan ces

Renewable energy ordinances can be established to oversee the permitting of renewable energy systems (wind, solar, bio-fuels) to preserve and protect public health and safety without significantly increasing the cost or decreasing the efficiency of a renewable energy system.  At this time, the Village does not have an ordinance that covers all renewable energy systems; however, the Village does have a Wind Energy Systems Ordinance (see Title 13Article J).

Land Division and Subdivision Ordin ance

Land division regulations serve an important function by ensuring the orderly growth and development of unplatted and undeveloped land. These regulations are intended to protect the community and occupants of the proposed subdivision by setting forth reasonable regulations for public utilities, storm water drainage, lot sizes, street design open space, other improvements necessary to ensure that new development will be an asset to the Village. The Village Board makes the final decisions on the content of the land division ordinance. These decisions are preceded by public hearings and recommendations of the plan commission.  The division of land in the Village is governed by the Wisconsin Statutes, the Village’s Subdivision Regulations, and within 1.5 miles of the Village of Dane, by the City’s extraterritorial plat review authority. This Plan includes recommendations allowing cluster and conservation subdivision design within the Planning Area.

4.2 P lan Adoption and Am endm ent P rocedures The procedures for comprehensive plan adoption or amendment are established by Wisconsin’s Comprehensive Planning Law (66.1001, Stats.). This comprehensive plan and any future amendments must be adopted by the Village Board in the form of an adoption ordinance approved by a majority vote.

Two important steps must occur before the Village Board may adopt or amend the plan: the Plan Commission must recommend adoption and the Village must hold an official public hearing.

P lan Co m m issio n R ecom m endation

The Plan Commission recommends adoption or amendment by passing a resolution that very briefly summarizes the plan and its various components. The resolution should also reference the reasons for creating plan and the public involvement process used during the planning process. The resolution must pass by a majority vote of the Commission, and the approved resolution should be included in the adopted plan document

P ublic Hearing

Prior to adopting the Plan, the Village (either Village Board or Plan Commission) must hold at least one public hearing to discuss the proposed plan. At least 30 days prior to the hearing a Class 1 notice must be published that contains, at minimum, the following:    

The date, time and location of the hearing, A summary of the proposed plan or plan amendment, The local government staff who may be contacted for additional information, Where to inspect and how to obtain a copy of the proposed plan or amendment before the hearing.

The notice should also provide a method for submitting written comments, and those comments should be read or summarized at the public hearing.

CHAP TE R 4

Draft Dis tribution and P ublic Hearin g Notifications

The Village is required to provide direct notice of the public hearing to any owner, leaseholder or operator of a nonmetallic mineral deposit (i.e. a gravel pit). The Village should send a copy of the public hearing notice at least 30 days prior to the hearing to any known mining operations in the Village and to anyone that has submitted a written request for such notification.

The Village is also required to maintain a list of any individuals who request, in writing, notification of the proposed comprehensive plan. Each such individual must be sent a notice of the public hearing and a copy of the plan at least 30 days prior to the public hearing. The Village may charge a fee equal to the cost of providing such notice and copy.

Finally, the Village should send the notice and a copy of the proposed plan to each of the following: 1. Every governmental body that is located in whole or in part within the boundaries of the Village, including any school district, sanitary district, or other special district.

2. The clerk of every town, city, village, and county that borders the Village.

3. The regional planning commission in which the Village is located.

4. The public library that serves the area in which the Village is located.

These draft distributions are not required by statute prior to adoption, but are strongly recommended as a matter of courtesy and good planning practice. The Village should coordinate directly with the public library to make a hard copy of the proposed plan available for viewing by any interested party.

P lan Ado ption/Am endm ent

This plan and any future amendments become official Village policy when the Village Board passes, by a majority vote of all elected members, an adoption ordinance. The Board may choose to revise the plan after it has been recommended by the Plan Commission and after the public hearing. It is not a legal requirement to consult with the Plan Commission on such changes prior to adoption, but, depending on the significance of the revision, such consultation may be advisable.

Adopted P lan Distribution

Following final adoption of this plan, and again following any amendments to the plan, a copy of the plan or amendment must be sent to each of the following: 1. Every governmental body that is located in whole or in part within the boundaries of the Village, including any school district, sanitary district, or other special district.

2. The clerk of every town, city, village, and county that borders the Village.

3. The regional planning commission in which the Village is located.

4. The public library that serves the area in which the Village is located.

5. The Comprehensive Planning Program at the Department of Administration.

4.3 Consistency Am ong P lan E lem ents Once formally adopted, the Plan becomes a tool for communicating the community’s land use policy and for coordinating legislative decisions. Per the requirements of Wisconsin’s Comprehensive Planning Law, beginning on January 1, 2010 if the Village of Dane engages in any of the actions listed below, those actions will be consistent with its comprehensive plan:     

Official mapping established or amended under s. 62.23 (6) Local subdivision regulations under s. 236.45 or 236.46 County zoning ordinances enacted or amended under s. 62.23 (7) Village or city zoning ordinances enacted or amended under s. 60.61, 60.62, 60.23 (7) Zoning of shorelands or wetlands in shorelands under s. 59.692, 61.351 or 62.231

An action will be deemed consistent if: 1. It furthers, or at least does not interfere with, the goals, objectives, and policies of this plan, 2. It is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities/intensities contained in this plan, 3. It carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for community facilities, including transportation facilities, other specific public actions, or actions proposed by nonprofit and forprofit organizations that are contained in the plan.

The State of Wisconsin planning legislation requires that the implementation element describe how each of the nine-elements will be integrated and made consistent with the other elements of the plan.

Prior to adoption of the plan the Village of Dane reviewed, updated, and completed all elements of this plan together, and no inconsistencies were found.

Inconsistencies with the 2007 Dane County Com prehensive P lan

No significant inconsistencies were found. The policies of this Plan encourage continued cooperation with Dane County to jointly plan boundary areas and coordinate their long-term growth plans with the Village Comprehensive Plan.

Inconsistencies with 2002 Town of Dane Com prehen sive P lan

The Town’s land use and zoning are regulated by Dane County. The policies of this Plan encourage continued cooperation with the Town of Dane and Dane County.

4.4 P lan Monitoring , Am ending, & Updating Although this Plan is intended to guide decisions and action by the Village over a 20-year period, it is impossible to predict future conditions in the Village. Amendments may be appropriate following original adoption, particularly if emerging issues or trends render aspects of the plan irrelevant or inappropriate. To monitor consistency with the Comprehensive Plan the Village will review its content prior to any important decisions, especially those that will affect land use. From time to time the Village may be faced with an opportunity, such as a development proposal, that does not fit the plan but is widely viewed to be appropriate for the Village. Should the Village wish to approve such an opportunity, it must first amend the plan so that the decision is consistent with the plan. Such amendments should be carefully considered and should not become the standard response to proposals that do not fit the

4-6

VILLAGE OF DANE, WISCONSIN

CHAP TE R 4

plan. Frequent amendments to meet individual development proposals threaten the integrity of the plan and the planning process and should be avoided.

Any change to the plan text or maps constitutes an amendment to the plan and must follow the adoption/amendment process described in Section 4.4. Amendments may be proposed by either the Village Board or the Plan Commission, and each will need to approve the change per the statutory process. Amendments may be made at any time using this process, however in most cases the Village should not amend the plan more than once per year. A common and recommended approach is to establish a consistent annual schedule for consideration of amendments. This process can begin with a joint meeting of the Plan Commission and Village Board (January), followed by Plan Commission recommendation (February), then the 30-day public notice procedures leading to a public hearing and vote on adoption by Village Board (March or April).

As indicated in Section 4.2, some of the aspects of this plan require proactive action by the Village. A working action plan should be maintained on an annual basis, starting with the actions in Section 4.2 and evolving over time. Completed actions should be celebrated and removed, while those actions not yet carried out should be given new deadlines (if appropriate) and assigned to specific individuals, boards or committees for completion per the new schedule. If the updated action plan is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan, updating the action plan should not require an amendment to the plan and can be approved simply by Village Board resolution.

Wisconsin’s comprehensive planning statute (66.1001) requires that this plan be updated at least once every 10 years. Unlike an amendment, the plan update is a major re-write of the plan document and supporting maps. The purpose of the update is to incorporate new data and ensure that the plan remains relevant to current conditions and decisions. The availability of new Census or mapping data and/or a series of significant changes in the community may justify an update after less than 1o years.

Frequent requests for amendments to the plan should signal the need for a comprehensive update.

4.5 Severability If any provision of this Comprehensive Plan will be found to be invalid or unconstitutional, or if the application of this Comprehensive Plan to any person or circumstances is found to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality will not affect the other provisions or applications of this Comprehensive Plan, which can be given effect without the invalid or unconstitutional provision or application.

This report is a summary of current conditions and recent trends in Dane, based on the best available data. The purpose of these indicators is to enable informed choices about the future of the Village. The report is included as an appendix to the comprehensive plan so that it can be easily updated from time to time as new data becomes available.

About the data

These indicators utilize a mixture of local, county, state, and federal data sources. The U.S. Census has historically been a key source of data for many community indicators. Much of the information previously collected by the decennial U.S. Census is now collected only by the American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS is an ongoing survey that collects sample data every year and reports estimates of population and housing characteristics. For communities smaller than 20,000, estimates are reported as rolling averages over 5-year periods – they indicate average conditions over the reporting period rather than a snapshot of a single point of time. Because the ACS estimates are based on a sample of the population, they include some error. The margin of error is reported for each estimate, and is an indication of how reliable the estimate is. As a general rule, the ACS data is quite reliable at the State level, generally reliable at the County level, and less reliable at the municipal level. The margin of error data makes the data much more difficult to interpret. To simplify tables in this plan, the reliability of each value is indicated simply by the formatting of the text. For each ACS estimate, the margin of error is divided by the estimate. If the error is 10% or less than the estimate, the value in the table is bolded and underlined. If the reported error is SAMP LE TAB LE more than 10% of the estimate, the value is italicized in the table. In graphs, Villag e of Chevrolet the ACS data exceeding this 10% error Malibu County threshold will be denoted at the bottom No. P er No. P er of the graph.

NOTE: Some US Census data are estimates, and these estimates are no more reliable than ACS estimates in small communities, but the Census does not report margins of error.

Analysis Historically, Wisconsin has had a high concentration of industries in agricultural and manufacturing; however, State and National economic changes have led to a decrease in both these sectors. It is expected that this trend will continue while employment in service, information, and health care industries will increase.

• Currently the manufacturing industry still remains a significant portion of the economy for the Village (18.6%) and State (18.9%), though less so for Dane County (9.2%).

• While the County has a high percentage of public sector workers due to the University and State government, Village residents are no more likely to be employed by government (12.3%) than in the State as a whole.

• Over the last decade the unemployment rate more than doubled for the County and State.

Even though there is no data at the municipal-level, it is likely this increase has also occurred in the Village.

Analysis • The number of persons per household in the Village declined from 3.7 to 2.7 between 1970 and 2010, and this decline is projected to remain at 2.7 through 2030.

This is consistent with national trends attributed to smaller family size and increases in life expectancy. • Based on 2004 projections, total household growth (and housing unit demand) in the Village will continue to outpace County and State growth through 2030; however, these projections are in all probability over-projected due to the economic conditions that followed 2004. Nevertheless, there is no reason to believe that Village growth rate will not exceed the County and State rates.

Analysis Affordable housing opportunities are often provided through the sale of older housing units.

Housing is generally considered “affordable” when the owner or renter’s monthly housing costs do not exceed 30% of their gross monthly income.

• Nearly 35% of Village homeowners and approximately 22% of renters exceeded the “affordable” threshold during 2005-2009.

• The median value of a home and median rent in the Village has steadily increased since 1990, but are still below the County’s median values of $226,900 and $817, respectively.

• It is evident the economy had a dramatic affect on the housing market in Dane County since 2007, as the median sale price dropped by almost 5% and the number of transactions dropped by nearly 27%.

Major Modes of Travel

R ailroad Service

Aviation Service • Dane County Regional – Truax Field, in the City of Madison, is the nearest airport to the Village.

It is classified as an air carrier/cargo airport with scheduled commercial air passenger service on a year-round basis. The airport has three runways with the longest runway measuring 9,005 feet in length.

• Freight rail runs through the Village on the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Company line.

There is one rail siding used by Dane Lumber and Traex Company.

• Passenger rail is provided by Amtrak with two trains that run in Wisconsin, including the longdistance Empire Builder operating from Chicago to Seattle and Portland. There are six stops in Wisconsin with the nearest stop in Portage, WI.

Trucking Service Freight is trucked through the Village of Dane using STH 113.

R oad Managem ent All federal, state, county, and local roads are classified into categories under the “Roadway Functional Classification System” based upon the type of service they provide (see map on the next page for road classifications in the Plan Area).

Responsibility for maintaining and improving roads is generally assigned based upon these functional classifications. Arterials generally fall under state jurisdiction, collectors under county jurisdiction, and local roads under local responsibility.

B oat Service The Village of Dane does not have its own access to water transportation. See Mobility map for the closest locations.

Transit Service • Currently there is no bus or light rail service serving the Village of Dane.

• Greyhound Lines makes a stop in Madison (approximately 18 miles away) should residents wish to make a long haul trip by bus.

• The WisDOT Six Year Improvement Plan does not list any projects within the Plan Area through 2016.

• WisDOT provides highway traffic volumes for selected roads and streets in all communities every 3 years (collected as AADT-Average Annual Daily Traffic). See the Mobility map for the AADT along STH and CTH in the Village.

• WisDOT divides the state highway system into “tiers”. Each “tier” has its own access restrictions with Tier 1 being very restrictive to Tier 4 allowing all types of access. The only highway with access management within the Planning Area is STH 113. It is a Tier 3 facility outside of the Village limits and is a Tier 4 facility within the Village limits.

Sidewalks, Trails, & R outes • Walkers/bicyclists use the Village’s existing roadways and sidewalks (where available). The Village’s Military Road is commonly used for bikers traveling through the area.

• The closest trail is a completed section of the Ice Age Trail that runs through the Village of Lodi and the Lodi Marsh Wildlife Area (approximately 5 miles away). The Ice Age Trail follows the edge of the last continental glacier in Wisconsin and traverses over 1,000 miles with 600 miles of completed trail sections and the remainder following less-traveled roadways. It is intended to be the premier hiking trail and conservation resource for silent sport and outdoor recreation.

B ikability Index The WisDOT maintains a map of bicycling conditions for each county using 2004 traffic and roadway data. The image on the right displays the portion of the map for the Planning Area.

• Green routes are considered to be in the best condition for biking, • Blue routes are considered moderate conditions for biking, • Orange routes are considered poor condition for biking, and • Red routes are undesirable for biking.

Transportation Facilities for the E lderly or Disabled • Waunakee Senior Service Department located at the Senior Center in the Village of Waunakee provides transportation for elderly and disabled citizens of Waunakee and their surrounding municipalities, including the Village of Dane. To learn more, call 608-849-8385 during normal business hours.

Geom orphology • The geomorphology of the Village is a result of Wisconsin Glaciation. This landscape includes low rolling hills with intermittent moraines. Soils in this area formed in loess and the underlying sandy loam till, sand and gravel outwash, and stratified silt and clayey lacustrine deposits.

• West of the Village is the portion of the State unaffected by the Laurentide Ice Sheet (shown in the white dashed line on the right). This landscape includes ridgetops, steep sloping valleys, rock outcropping, and narrow valley bottoms.

“Ecological Landscapes are areas of Wisconsin that differ from each other in ecological attributes and management opportunities. They have unique combinations of physical and biological characteristics that make up the ecosystem, such as climate, geology, soils, water, or vegetation. They differ in levels of biological productivity, habitat suitability for wildlife, presence of rare species and natural communities, and in many other ways that affect land use and management.”

AG & NATUR AL R E SOUR CE S R iver B asins & Water Managem ent Units (WMU) Wisconsin is divided into three major River Basins, each identified by the primary waterbody into which the basin drains. The three basins are further subdivided into 24 WMUs, and these are divided into watersheds.

• The Planning Area is located within the Mississippi Basin’s Lower Wisconsin and Lower Rock WMUs. Lower Rock River Basin Serious Challenges: • Rivers/streams not meeting water quality standards • Loss of agricultural land …

• Lower urban groundwater levels…

• Significant groundwater contamination in areas…

Lower Wisconsin River Basin Top Four Priorities: • Increasing community involvement • Providing outdoor recreation • Improving water quality/in-stream habitat • Reduce sources of AG and urban runoff

Surface Water

Ground Water

Wisconsin has classified many of the State’s highest quality waters as Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs) or Exceptional Resource Waters (ERWs).

These designated waterways provide outstanding recreational opportunities, support valuable fisheries, have unique hydrologic or geologic features, have unique environmental settings, and are not significantly impacted by human activities

Groundwater is the only source of drinking water in the Plan Area. It is a critical resource, not only because it is used as our source of water, but also because rivers, streams, and other surface water depends on it for recharge.

Groundwater contamination is most likely to occur where fractured bedrock is near the ground surface, or where only a thin layer of soil separates the ground surface from the water table.

•

There are no ORWs/ERWs within the Plan Area.

Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act requires states to develop a list of impaired waters, commonly referred to as the "303(d) list." This list identifies waters that are not meeting water quality standards, including both water quality criteria for specific substances or the designated uses, and is used as the basis for development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).

There are no impaired waterways within the Plan Area.

•

The Plan Area generally ranks high to medium-high for susceptibility to groundwater contamination.

Groundwater can be contaminated through both point and non-point source pollution (NPS). The most common NPS pollutants are sediment (erosion, construction) and nutrients (farming, lawn care).

About the Data:

o Groundwater: Susceptibility to groundwater contamination is determined based on five physical resource characteristics: bedrock depth, bedrock type, soil characteristics, superficial deposits, and water table depth.

AG & NATUR AL R E SOUR CE S 2008 County Land & Water R esource Managem ent P lan This plan created objectives and action items in support of the following land and water conservation goals: 1. Maintain agricultural lands for long-term production.

2. Manage crop nutrient sources in an economic and environmentally sound manner.

3. Protect and enhance in-stream, riparian, wetland, and upland habitat.

4. Protect and improve the quality of groundwater and surface water in Dane County.

Metallic & Non-Metallic Mineral R esources Mineral resources are divided into two categories: metallic and non-metallic resources.

Metallic resources include lead and zinc.

Nonmetallic resources include sand, gravel, and limestone. In June of 2001, all Wisconsin counties were obliged to adopt an ordinance for nonmetallic mine reclamation. After reclamation, many quarries become possible sites for small lakes or landfills.

State Natural Areas (SNA) The WIDNR identifies significant environmental areas through its State Natural Areas (SNAs) program.

• The Village’s Plan Area does not have a SNA; however, there are 14 in the County.

• Lodi Marsh Wildlife Area, just 5 miles northwest of the Village, is a 545-acre wetland complex with numerous springs, a southern sedge meadow, and a cattail marsh.

Legacy P laces The Legacy Places Report is an educational resource created to identify places critical to meeting conservation and outdoor recreational needs over the next 50 years. They are organized by 16 ecological landscapes (see the next page), ranging in size, relative conservation and recreation strengths, and amount of formal protection that has been initiated (and how much potentially remains).

• There are no legacy places in the village or plan area; however, there are twelve indentified in (or partly within) Dane County.

• There are no mining operations in the Village; however, there is one in the Plan Area, just south of the Village limits.

Floodplain The floodplain includes the floodway, the floodfringe, and other flood-affected areas. The floodway is the channel of a river and the adjoining land needed to carry the 100-year flood discharge. Because the floodway is characterized by rapidly moving and treacherous water, development is severely restricted in a floodway. The floodfringe, which is landward of the floodway, stores excess floodwater until it can be infiltrated or discharged back into the channel. During a regional flood event, also known as the 100-year, one-percent, or base flood, the entire floodplain or Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) is inundated to a height called the regional flood elevation (RFE).

• There are no areas floodplains in the Plan Area.

R are Species The Wisconsin Natural Heritage Working List contains species known or suspected to be rare in the state and natural communities native to Wisconsin.

• There are 25 of endangered and threatened species in the Plan Area; however there are no known occurrences in the Village limits.

Wetlands Wetlands are areas in which water is at, near, or above the land surface and which are characterized by both hydric soils and by the hydrophytic plants such as sedges, cattails, and other vegetation that grow in an aquatic or very wet environment.

• There are no wetland areas in the Village limits, but there are 8.8 acres in the Plan Area (0.1% of the land area).

Steep Slopes Topography is an important determinant of the land uses practicable in a given area. Lands with steep slopes (20 % or greater) are generally poorly suited for urban development and for most agricultural purposes and, therefore, should be maintained in natural cover for water quality protection, wildlife habitat, and erosion control purposes. Lands with less severe slopes (12%-20%) may be suitable for certain agricultural uses, such as pasture, and for certain urban uses, such as carefully designed lowdensity residential use, with appropriate erosion control measures. Lands that are gently sloping or nearly level are generally suitable for agricultural production or for urban uses.

Dane, WI

Biofuel

Bio-fuels are derived from bio-mass, can be used for liquid bio-fuel or bio-gas production, and can offer a local source of energy provided by fuels that can be grown or produced locally through agricultural or waste resources.

Geothermal

A geothermal heat pump uses the constant temperature of the earth to heat and cool buildings, transferring heat out of the ground in the winter and into the ground in the summer.

Geothermal electricity generation uses underground steam or hot water to drive turbines.

This type of geothermal resource is generally not available in the Midwest.

Wind

Wind-powered electricity turbines are now common throughout the Midwest. Production is optimized where the wind resource is strong (fast) and steady. As shown at left, most of the Dane County region is not well suited for commercial scale wind systems. However, this is a generalized assumption and there may be opportunities for small and wind systems in the Village or planning area.

Solar

Two types of solar energy systems are well suited to Wisconsin communities: solar electric photovoltaic (PV) and solar hot water (SHW) systems. The efficiency and effectiveness of these systems depend on the size of the system (i.e. area of the collecting surface), the orientation of the collecting surface, and site characteristics (e.g. overshadowing).

P ower P lants & Transm ission Lines • The Village of Dane receives gas service from Madison Gas & Electric (MG&E).

• The Village of Dane receives electrical service from Alliant Energy.

COMMUNITY CHAR ACTE R Historic P reservation Certified Local Governm ent (CLG) A historical preservation ordinance typically contains criteria for the designation of historic structures, districts, or places, and procedures for the nomination process. The ordinance further regulates the construction, alteration and demolition of a designated historic site or structure. A community with a historic preservation ordinance may apply for CLG status with the Wisconsin State Historical Society.

Once a community is certified, they become eligible for:   

Matching sub-grants from the federal Historic Preservation Fund, Use of Wisconsin Historic Building Code, Reviewing National Register of Historic Places nominations allocated to the state.

• The Village of Dane is not a CLG community, but there are 7 in Dane County.

Archaeological Site Inventory (ASI) The Archaeological Site Inventory (ASI) is a collection of archaeological sites, mounds, unmarked cemeteries, marked cemeteries, and cultural sites throughout Wisconsin. Similar to the AHI, the ASI is not a comprehensive or complete list; it only includes sites reported to the Historical Society and some listed sites may be altered or no longer exist. The Historical Society estimates that less than 1% of the archaeological sites in the state have been identified.

Wisconsin law protects Native American burial mounds, unmarked burials, and all marked and unmarked cemeteries from intentional disturbance.

Architecture & History Inventory (AHI) This is a collection of information on historic buildings, structures, sites, objects, and historic districts throughout Wisconsin.

The AHI is comprised of written text and photographs of each property, which document the property's architecture and history. Most properties became part of the Inventory as a result of a systematic architectural and historical survey beginning in 1970s. Caution should be used as the list is not comprehensive and much of the information is dated, as some properties may be altered or no longer exist. Due to funding cutbacks, the Historical Society has not been able to properly maintain the database. In addition, many of the properties in the inventory are privately owned and are not open to the public. Inclusion of a property conveys no special status, rights or benefits to the owners.

Villag e History

Village of Dane History The Village of Dane was named after the County, which was named for Nathan Dane, a United States congressman who framed the ordinance establishing the Northwest Territory. The image at right is the 1873 Dane County Plat Book showing the Village center, at that time still an unincorporated crossroads in the Town of Dane. At the time of incorporation, on April 6, 1899, the Village was made up of a diverse cross section of citizens with ethnic backgrounds from multiple European countries. The attraction to Dane at that time was railroad transportation, rich farmland, and a place to raise abundant families in peace.

Since 1899 agriculture has continued to grow in and around the Village, with many large family farms continuing to prosper and grow. Agriculture always has been and continues to be a rich part of our heritage.

Over the past few decades the Village and surrounding area has been evolving. While the size of some family farms has increased significantly, the number of family farms has significantly decreased.

Very few of the residents of the Village of Dane today are employed in agricultural related jobs, and very few are even employed in the Village itself. With the modernization and expansion of automobile transportation, the growth of employment opportunities in the City of Madison, and the desire to live in rural remote communities with good primary education resources and community values, it is now possible and attractive to live in the Village and work elsewhere.

Dane has evolved culturally too, now including residents with heritage from Africa, Asia, Latin America and other parts of the world.

Dane today continues to be culturally diverse, agriculturally rich, and a great place to raise a family.

o Land Use Assessments: This data is provided by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (WI-DOR). Note that some changes in value may be due to occasional changes in how the WI-DOR reports or assesses certain land classifications. Aggregate Assessed Value is the dollar amount assigned to taxable real and personal property by the local assessor for the purpose of taxation. Assessed value is called a primary assessment because a levy is applied directly against it to determine the tax due. Equalized Value Assessment is the estimated value of all taxable real and personal property in each taxation district. The value represents market value (most probable selling price), except for agricultural property, which is based on its use (ability to generate agricultural income) and agricultural forest and undeveloped lands, which are based on 50% of their full, fair market value.

The WI-DOR determines the equalized value. o Assessed Value Tax Rate: Tax rates include state, county, municipal, school district, technical colleges, any special tax districts, and the state school credit. The rates donšt include lottery credits and special charges that are part of a total tax bill.

Focus Group Discussions On March 31, 2011, The Village’s planning consultant facilitated two focus group discussions at Village Hall, one on the topic of Economic Development, and one on Parks and Recreation.

Approximately 15 people attended the 1-hour discussion on economic development, including both residents and representatives of most local employers. The second 1-hour session, focused on parks and recreation, included generally the same group of participants.

This is a summary of the concerns and ideas raised in those two discussions, however the comments here are in many cases not consensus viewpoints, and this is not a policy document.

The goals, objectives, and policies in Chapter 2 of the Comprehensive Plan incorporate or address some of the ideas from these meetings, as recommended by Plan Commission.

Economic Development Focus Group There is concern about a downward spiral of low investment and declining appearances, especially – would like to maintain activity, tax base, and aesthetic appearances.

Would like to clean up and put to use the Raemisch properties. The Village lost a lot of tax base when the dealership left.

The downtown lacks storefront spaces that businesses could easily move into.

Can we get involved in/take advantage of County-wide economic development? Maybe, but County-distributed site-selection leads generally aren’t a fit for Dane.

The Village doesn’t currently do much to actively support or communicate with existing businesses Village advantages:     

Low crime A downtown Tax Incremental Financing District, adopted in 2008, that can support downtown revitalization Excellent school district Affordable land Agriculture is a growth industry

Village disadvantages  

Low profile/limited awareness of the Village outside the Village Local businesses need out-of-town customers to survive

Could have a farmer’s market in town, as long as it doesn’t conflict with those in Waunakee (Wednesdays) or Lodi (Fridays).

Could be like Paoli, could establish a quaint feel with specialty retail that people will travel from Madison to visit.

What is our identity as a Village?

A: Agriculture The Village has plenty of home-based businesses right now.

Examples:     

Wood turning Longboard (skateboard) production and online sales Painting services Vegetable growing for farmers’ markets Contract cooking

We could focus on being a good bedroom community. We have or could have:     

a restaurant a small grocery store/corner market an attractive downtown recreation opportunities sense of community – could enhance with more community events

Parks and Recreation Focus Group What do people use for recreation not available in the Village parks?        

The railroad corridor, for snowmobiling Military Road, and country roads in general, for biking Lodi swimming pool Waunakee Community Building Lake Wisconsin Snowshoeing on Ice Age Trail Paved trail biking in other places Curling in Lodi

Lake Melvin Park  

The lake is occasionally used for canoeing, but the Village ordinances don’t allow this due to liability concerns.

The lake is used for fishing, including the spring fishery event sponsored by the Fire Department that attracts 200-300 kids. It’s a good community event.

Bert Deans Park    

B-6

This has been the Village’s most used park Men’s and women’s softball 2-3 times per week Little league 3-4 nights per week Family reunions, weddings, graduations, birthdays

Capital Valley Park    

Playground installed in 2009 Shelter and baseball field installed in 2010, used y Lodi Home Talent baseball league Concession stand is next on list The park needs signage – people don’t know where it is

Meinrod Karls Park  

Vandalism concerns  

Drinking fountains seem to attract vandalism Bert Deans Park has the biggest problems with vandalism, due to its relative isolation

Park and Recreation Wish List:          

Tennis courts Small group activities Basketball in a visible location A bike path to another community, e.g. Waunakee and Lodi via the rail corridor, and maybe a loop around the village for families to use too Better biking conditions on rural roads in surrounding towns A winter cross country ski trail/summer bike trail Paths connecting the Village parks Trees in Capital Valley Park An indoor recreation facility A dog park

Public Input

Community Survey In the months of February and March 2011 the Village conducted a survey of residents. A hard copy of the survey was mailed to each household, and respondents were asked to either complete the paper copy and return it to the Village or use an online version with the same questions. Village staff entered all paper responses into the online version for purposes of data analysis. About 140 people completed the survey, which is a reasonably reliable sample in a community of about 1,000 residents, including 685 adults in 365 households. Based on that sample size, the margin of error is about 7%.

The complete results follow, including written responses and comments at the end of this section.
