The maximum number of bonus units the Town Board may award is one unit per 10 acres of development area (gross contiguous land owned and a part of the development), with a maximum of four bonus units for any development. The bonus units may be attached to any structure, even if that results in more than four residential units in any one structure. The following criteria may be used when evaluating whether or not bonus units shall be awarded (other items may be considered):
(a) 
Preserving, rehabilitating, or reusing historical buildings and structures, including those sites inventoried by the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. The developer may also install new structures to imitate historical structures (barns, etc.) or otherwise enhance Town history.
(b)

Site plan review principles and standards. The Plan Commission and Town Board shall review the site, existing and proposed structures, neighboring uses, landscaping, and the proposed use. The Town Board may approve said site plans only after determining that:

The proposed use(s) conforms to the uses permitted.
(b) 
The dimensional arrangement of buildings and structures conforms to the required area, yard, setback, and height restrictions of this chapter.
(c) 
The proposed on-site buildings, structures, and entryways are situated and designed to minimize adverse effects upon owners and occupants of adjacent and surrounding properties by providing for adequate design of ingress/egress, interior/exterior traffic flow, stormwater drainage, erosion, grading, lighting, and parking, as specified by this chapter or any other codes or laws.
(d) 
Consideration should be given to preserving the natural features of the landscape where they can enhance the development on the site, or where they furnish a barrier or buffer between the project and adjoining properties used for dissimilar purposes or where they assist in preserving the general safety, health, welfare, and appearance of the neighborhood.
(e) 
Adverse effects of the proposed development and activities upon adjoining residents or owners are minimized by appropriate screening, fencing, or landscaping, as provided or required in this chapter.
(3) 
Architectural review principles and standards. To assist the Plan Commission and Town Board in the architectural review of outbuildings under this section, the following review principles, criteria and procedures are established:

(b) 
Building rooflines and roof shapes. Building roof lines and roof shapes shall be complementary to the existing or surrounding buildings.
(c) 
Materials. No building shall be permitted where any exposed facade is constructed or faced with a finished material which is not aesthetically complementary to other surrounding buildings.
(d) 
Building location. Consideration shall be given to siting a building in a manner which would not unnecessarily destroy or substantially damage the beauty of the area, particularly insofar as it would adversely affect values incident to ownership of land in the area or which would unnecessarily have an adverse effect on the beauty and general enjoyment of existing structures on adjoining properties.

A. 
Purpose of the Town Center Overlay District (TCOD).
(1) 
The TCOD is intended to permit developments that will, over a period of time, be enhanced by coordinated area site planning, diversified location of structures and/or mixing of compatible uses. Such developments are intended to provide a safe and efficient system for pedestrian and vehicular traffic; to create more active social places; to provide an opportunity for developers to create economic activities that serve the needs of Town residents; to provide attractive recreation, green spaces, town squares and plazas, and public activity spaces as integral parts of the development; to enable economical design of utilities and community facilities; and to ensure adequate standards of construction and planning. The TCOD under this section will allow for flexibility of overall development design, with benefits from such flexibility intended to be derived by both the developer and the community, while at the same time maintaining, where judged appropriate by the Town Board, other standards or use requirements as set forth in the underlying base zoning district. The TCOD shall be applicable only within the district as depicted in the accompanying map and legal description within the Town Center Plan (TCP).[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The map and legal description are on file in the Town Clerk's office.
(2) 
The unified and planned development of a site in a single, partnership or corporate ownership or control or in common ownership under the Unit Ownership Act set forth in Ch. 703, Wis. Stats. (condominiums), may be permitted by the Town upon specific petition, with such development encompassing one or more principal uses or structures and related accessory uses or structures, when all regulations and standards as set forth in this section have been met.
B. 
Area requirements for a TCOD project. Areas designated as a TCOD project shall be under single or corporate ownership or control and shall contain a minimum development area of either one acre or the size of the lots and parcels existing as of the adoption date of this TCOD.
C. 
Uses, structures, lot area and dimensions, density, parking, landscaping, heights, setback, yards and other requirements. Uses, structures, individual lot sizes, densities, setbacks, yards, dimensional requirements, landscaping requirements, parking requirements, height requirements, and other requirements required by the underlying base use district may be modified and shall be considered as permitted uses if, in the judgment of the Town Plan Commission and Town Board, the proposed project is compatible with the site design, illustrations, guidelines, and related features as shown in the TCP and the accompanying Design Guideline Document.
D. 
Procedure.
(1) 
Pre-petition conference. Prior to official submittal of the petition for approval of a proposed project or development for the TCOD, the owner or his agent making such petition shall meet with the Town staff to discuss the scope and proposed nature of the contemplated development. Subsequent to such meeting, all costs for Town staff and consultants associated with the proposed project shall be borne by the owner or his agent by agreement with the Town.
(2) 
Site plan review. Following the pre-petition conference, the owner or his agent should meet with the Plan Commission or its staff to present a site analysis of existing features. The review may involve a site visit, and should include a discussion of project goals and possible design solutions.
