PARCEL NUMBER TWO
Parcel #2 on the south side lies between Madison Street, current State Highway 16’s east/west connector and the street coming out from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin Avenue. This 9.45 acre strip of land is about 200-225 feet in width and generally flat.
The County has designated the eastern part of Parcel 2 as “Community”. This zoning refers to improvement of the land for various opportunities including stores or business to benefit the people living in the area.
Land work was completed on the first 400 feet adjoining Ski Slide Rd., this being approximately 2 acres. About 10,000 cubic yards of clean dirt fill was brought in to raise this area 3-4 feet and graded level for pre-build.
A “wetland delineation” survey was conducted in May, 2006. Approximately 400 feet west of Ski Slide Road on this Parcel is a defined 1.5 acre “isolated wetland” area. The area is caused by water coming from an adjoining neighbor to the south. With this designation, it is possible to work with the “DNR” so that this isolated spot could be mitigated and traded for other acreage, filled, and utilized to a higher and better use such as parking once a developer/builder has presentable plans.
Across the road to the east is a popular family restaurant on commercially zoned land. Across Madison Street to the south there is a combination of zoning; a 3/4 acre commercial site, duplex zoned land, and a farm. Best use of land would be commercial/retail such as convenience store/gas stations, cleaners and childcare in the design of a strip mall. The engineered conceptually planned layout would include a landscaped berm along Madison Street with linear buildings each approximately 50 to 60 feet wide. Between the berm and buildings would be 24 feet for back door deliveries on the south side. The north side would have 10 feet for covered entries and walkways, parking, a pass through drive and then additional parking along current Hwy 16.
A DOT park and ride has been planned adjoining Parcel 2 to the northeast. It may be possible to combine planned retail along with extra parking. This would expand the width of Parcel #2 up to 500 feet in places to permit more development possibilities.
