four acres; the open space related to minor land divisions may be
common open space or open space located on private lots, but must
be noted as permanent open space on the certified survey map.

the preservation of contiguous open space. Open space shall be designed
to preserve, enhance, or create environmentally sensitive areas. These
may include recreational opportunities (for example, hiking/cross-country
ski trails) but may not include other mowed areas such as for soccer
or baseball fields, or neighborhood parks, without the approval of
the Plan Commission and Town Board.
B. Principal use: single-family detached dwellings.

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).
(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.

plan review. Following the pre-petition conference, the owner or his
agent should meet with the Plan Commission or its staff to present

design solutions.

for a TCOD project shall be referred to the Plan Commission for its
review and recommendation. The Plan Commission may add any additional
conditions or restrictions which it may deem necessary or appropriate
to promote the spirit and intent of this section and the purpose of
this section or may reject or recommend denial of the application
as inconsistent with the goals, intentions, or details of the TCP.
F. Public hearing. Upon receipt of the Plan Commission's
recommendation, the Town Board shall, before determining the disposition
of the petition, hold a public hearing pursuant to the provisions
of this section. Notice for such hearing shall include reference to
the development plans filed in conjunction with the requested project.
G. Basis for approval.
(1) The Town Plan Commission in making its recommendations
and the Town Board in making its determinations shall consider:
(a)
Whether the petitions for the proposed TCOD
project have indicated that they intend to begin the physical development
of the designated project within 12 months following the approval
of the petition for a TCOD project and that the development will be
carried out according to a reasonable construction schedule satisfactory
to the Town.
(b)
Whether the proposed TCOD project is consistent
in all respects with the purpose of this section and with the spirit
and intent of this section; is in conformity with the TCP and other
Town plans and studies that are relevant to this area; that such development
would not be contrary to the general welfare and economic prosperity
of the Town or of the immediate neighborhood; and that the benefits
and improved design of the resultant development justify the establishment
of a TCOD project.
(2) The Plan Commission and the Common Council shall not
give their respective recommendations or approvals unless it is found
that:
(a)
The proposed site shall be provided with adequate
drainage facilities for surface and storm waters.
(b)
The proposed project shall be accessible from
roads that are adequate to carry the traffic that can be expected
to be generated by the proposed development.

No undue constraint or burden will be imposed
on Town services and facilities.

Adequate utilities shall be provided.
(e)
Adequate guarantee is provided for permanent
preservation of open space areas, town squares and plazas, green spaces,
and other open spaces as shown on the approved site plan either by
private reservations and maintenance or by dedication to the public.
H. Changes or additions. Any subsequent change or addition
to the plans or uses shall first be submitted for approval to the
Town Plan Commission, and if in the opinion of the Town Plan Commission
such change or addition constitutes a substantial alteration of the
original plan, a public hearing before the Town Board shall be required
and notice thereof shall be given pursuant to the provisions of this
section.
I. Developer's agreement and restrictive covenants. The
terms and conditions of the TCOD shall be set forth in a developer's
agreement and restrictive covenants as deemed necessary by the Town.
