Re: Workforce Development Center

Collins Road

Jefferson

Dear Mr. Wilson:

The City of Jefferson Plan Commission reviewed the site plan proposed by Jefferson County and Hal Koenig on March 11, 1998 and was very impressed with the layout. The building provides amenities which will blend into the adjacent residential neighborhood very well. The Workforce Development Center (W-2 building) will truly be a valuable asset to the City of Jefferson and a corner stone development on the Countryside Farm Panel.

The City of Jefferson is going through a process similar to Jefferson County's 2020 Plan with our Comprehensive Master Plan. We see a need to plan a framework in all the undeveloped lands within the City and within the City's Extraterritorial area. With Jefferson County's input, we can map the exact location of the W-2 building and the extensions of two adjacent side streets, Sherwood Lane and Tifwood Drive. The future connection to STH 26 is also a vital link for this area to maximize its useful potential which will benefit the County as well as the City.

The City would like to cooperatively work with the County on planning future uses for the Countryside Farm and to develop a skeleton network of roads for potential growth. The County and City are growing at unpredictable rates whether we like it or not. Cooperative planning now will help with the demand for growth in the future.

Please let me know as soon as possible if a Committee could be set up to work with the City on a concept for development of the Countryside Farm. You may call me at 674-7727 or David Schornack at 674-7700.

Thank you.

Daniel Ludwig, P.E.

ROOM 215 ALTERATIONS FOR EXPANSION OF FAMILY COURT

I have looked at meeting room #215 and the adjacent lounge and have determined the scope of work necessary to join those spaces of Child Support. HVAC and electrical engineers have visited the space and have spoken directly with Ms. Richmond and Ron with ICC. This letter is intended to report schedule and financial considerations that will be useful to the committees and County Board.

The scope of the work is described in the enclosed plan showing the affected areas and proposed space plan. Based on conversations with Elaine Richmond, my understanding is that the areas to be incorporated should have finishes similar to existing Child Support spaces and will become a permanent part of the Child Support offices. Inspections of the affected area and systems with consideration for the new plan configuration indicate the following:

• carpeting for the area

Based on the aforementioned considerations, this alteration should be budgeted as follows:

General construction work $21,000.00

HVAC work $ 9,500.00*

Electrical work $ 8,000.00**

Architectural and engineering fees $ 4,750.00

Contingency $ 2,100.00

Reimbursable $ 500.00

In preparation for this project, I have scheduled a plan review with the State of Wisconsin (non-obligatory). Should you decide to proceed with this work, architectural and engineering plans and calculations would be submitted on this date. I recommend inviting three qualified contractors to provide prices on this work, which would take a couple of weeks. This project should take about 3 to 4 weeks to construct, largely due to ordering time for the materials.

TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

The Jefferson County Planning and Zoning Committee, having considered petitions to amend the Zoning Ordinance of Jefferson County, filed for public hearing March 17, 1998 as required by law pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes, notice thereof having been given, and being duly advised of the wishes of the town boards and persons in the areas affected, hereby makes the following recommendations:

APPROVAL OF PETITIONS 1974A-98, 1978A-98, 1981A-98,

1982A-98 AND 1984A-98

DENIAL OF PETITIONS 1976A-98, 1977A-98 AND 1980A-98

Petition 1976A-98 was filed by Kyle and Cindy Preuss to create a 7.47 acre lot on CTH CI in the Town of Sullivan. This is recommended for denial due to the prevalence of class III soils on the site.

Likewise, Petition 1977A-98 is recommended for denial also due to the prevalence of prime agricultural soils. This request was filed by Rosemary and Carl Krueger to create a four acre residential building site on Schmeid Lane in the Town of Milford.

F. James Kundert filed Petition 1980A-98 in order to rezone one acre as a new rural residential building site on Finches Lane and Groeler Road in the Town of Koshkonong. This is recommended for denial also because of the prime agricultural soils on the site.

An approval in any of these instances would be contrary to the goals and objectives of the Jefferson County Zoning Ordinance, the Jefferson County Agricultural Preservation Plan, and Chapter 91 of state statutes.

Dated this Fourteenth Day of April, 1998
