Council approves $2.1 million TIF for workforce housing


The Meadow Ridge development will include 95 units on Lisa Lane
by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune

The Middleton Common Councillast week approved a $2.1 million tax


increment financing (TIF) agreement
with developer Jacob Klein for the
planned Meadow Ridge apartment
building. Meadow Ridge will be a 95
unit apartment designated for workforce housing on Lisa Lane just west of
Parmenter Ave.
With the tax credits Klein has applied for, his building is required to be
mixed income workforce housing with
80 percent (76) of the units income restricted to low to moderate income individuals or families, 20 percent at
market rate, and 25 percent of all units
targeted specifically to veterans or disabled people.
The project is eligible for TIF funds
as the site lies within the citys TIF district #5. Despite being the first and
only development of its kind in the corridor, Klein and city officials are aware
that the area will change dramatically
over the next couple decades with the
multi-phase Meriter medical campus
development scheduled to begin construction next year. The city also has a
shortage of low-income housing to
meet demand in the county according
to a recent county report titled the Dane
County Housing Needs Assessment.
Though all the city alders were supportive of the project, there were some
concerns about the amount of the TIF
request.
How did we arrive at $2.1 million? asked Alder Gurdip Brar.
Originally the request was for
$2.375 [million] which was about 80
percent of the gap in the deal, because
this is an affordable housing unit and
Ive got 25 percent of the units set
aside at 30 percent of the area median
income, Klein responded. In the remaining life of the TIF district the
maximum amount we could support
was the $2.1 million, so I lowered it
from $2.375 to $2.1 million.

Planning documents show an overhead view of the Meadow Ridge apartment proposal.
Brar asked Klein why he couldnt
reduce his request even further to accommodate the city.
Ive deferred the maximum amount
of my developer fee that I can defer
and still have a project that underwrites
to the tax credit investor, Klein said.
Alder Hans Hilbert questioned
whether the project was the best use of
TIF funds.
There is a lot of fuzziness with this
proposal, Hilbert stated. By no
means do I think it is a bad proposal or
a bad development, but I do question
the amount of support that is being
asked.

Hilbert acknowledged that the city


finance director John Lehman demonstrated how over time and through economic development the city will be
able to make back the TIF funding with
the tax increment generated, but still
wasnt pleased with the agreement.
For these dollar amounts, I would
like to see us making infrastructure improvements that benefit all the properties in the area, not just create
something that may be a catalyst for future developments, Hilbert stated.
Hilbert added that he foresaw storm
water management becoming an issue
in the future in the area surrounding the

apartment.
I will grant that this is a riskier
project than many that we have in the
TIF district, noted city administrator
Mike Davis. Number one, it is a pioneering project, it will be the first new
development in an area we have targeted as blight for a redevelopment. It
is also a bit of a risk for the developer
because there is no support infrastructure for this kind of development currently.
Davis added that he supports the
citys TIF contribution because of the
need for workforce housing and the
apartments proximity to the coming

Meriter medical campus.


Alder Howard Teal asked city planning director Eileen Kelley if the development would enhance the property
values in the adjacent areas.
In the long run what weve found
with projects of this nature, although
we havent been fortunate enough in
the past to have one that has as much
workforce housing, is it removes the
blight and it starts the trend toward redevelopment and everyones property
values go up, Kelley said.
A motion to approve the request
passed with all alders voting in favor
and only Hilbert opposed.

Background: City plan commission also backed the project


by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune

Before the Middleton City Council


gave the final stamp of approval to the
plan, the Middleton Plan Commission
made a recommendation to approve the
TIF agreement with developer Jacob
Klein for $2,100,000 to build a 95 unit,
four story apartment building at the location of the former Bowling Green
bowling alley on Lisa Lane.
Kleins building would be mixed income workforce housing with a density
of 38 units per acre. Eighty percent or
76 of the units would be income restricted to low-moderate income individuals, while 25 percent would be
targeted for veterans or disabled people, and 20 percent would be market
rate.
The proposal is eligible for TIF
funds since the site sits it the citys TIF
district #5. Though a 95 unit apartment
building may seem a bit out of place at
the location, Klein and city officials are
aware that the area will change dramatically over the next couple decades
with the coming Meriter Medical campus. The city also has a shortage of
low-income housing to meet demand

in the county according to a recent


county report titled the Dane County
Housing Needs Assessment.
In the agreement it is written that the
developer shall rent or reserve for rent
no fewer than 76 units to individuals or
families earning no more than 60% of
the area median income as calculated
by the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development.
Alder Hans Hilbert asked Klein why
only 80 percent of the units would be
designated for low-income housing.
Why not 100 percent? Hilbert
asked. Since we are investing public
TIF dollars shouldnt we make that a
priority?
Abby Attoun, assistant director of
community development, noted the
citys housing task force has emphasized that it is preferential to mixed income housing rather than strictly
low-income.
Klein answered simply that the

WHEDA credits he is applying for


have a cap for number of units per location. He said beyond the 76 units he
would not get any more tax credits.
Hilbert also asked why there was
language in the agreement that fined
the developer $185 a month for units
that were not rented to the targeted income level. He asked if that could be
used to allow anyone to live there if
they paid that much more every month.
Klein said he the citys fines would
be the least of his worries if he didnt
have someone at the appropriate income level.
The $185 fine that you guys are
proposing is a drop in the bucket compared to what penalties I would get
with an 88-23 notice from the IRS and
losing the credits on that unit, Klein
responded. Thats the biggest risk for
me, even if they are fraudulent on their
application I am still on the hook for
that. Say someone lived here for five

years and the IRS had to reclaim the


credits for the unit. That would be
about $50,000.

The motion to recommend approval


passed the plan commission with only
Hilbert opposed.

How farmers
markets breathed
new life into
Murphy Farms
by MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune

Customers lining up to buy items from Murphy Farms at last weeks Greenway Station Farmers Market in Middleton. The market takes place every
Thursday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine in the parking area near Claddagh Irish Pub.
Times-Tribune photo by Matt Geiger

Farming was a hard way to make a


living, recalls Sally Murphy, thinking
back to the year 1992. Thats when she
and her husband, Tom, first decided to
begin selling their products at farmers
markets.
We decided to look into the Dane
County Farmers Market, she explains.
The market manager told us that,
being we milked cows, we could bring
cheese curds to the market. We joined
in the spring of 1993 and this is our
23rd year at [that] market.
By 1999, the Murphy family was
busy building a bakery on their farm in
Soldiers Grove, allowing them to sell a
unique combination of homemade
products at multiple markets.
Even before that, in 1995, the Murphy clan heard that a little farmers market in Middleton was looking for
manager.
We applied for the job and were accepted, she says. It turned out to be
a great market but in the beginning it
was really slow with sometimes only
three venders coming to sell.
The weekly Middleton Farmers
Market at Greenway Station today
barely resembles those early iterations.
This years market, for example, includes 19 vendors, including five that
are coming to Middleton for the first
time.
That makes Murphy Farms something of a farmers market founding father here in Dane County. These days,
it is often a new generation that works
their Greenway Station tent.
We are [back] but have our grandSee FARM, page 8

Hesselbeins bill for veterans moves forward


Law would give turkey hunting licenses to disabled vets and Purple Heart recipients
Rep. Dianne Hesselbeins bill to
issue wild turkey hunting licenses to
resident disabled veterans and Purple
Heart recipients advanced last week
with a unanimous, bipartisan committee vote in committee.
The Assembly Committee on Natu-

ral Resources and


Sporting Heritage
approved AB 187
in executive session
and sent it to the
Rules Committee
to be scheduled for

Hesselbein

floor action.
The bill would allow Wisconsin resident veterans with a 50 percent disability or greater to skip the annual
lotteries for the spring and fall hunts,
and receive licenses upon application,
with their choice of time and zone. Dis-

abled hunters, who usually hunt in


small groups, reported difficulties organizing their hunts under the lottery
system.
The bill also covers both in-state and
out-of-state recipients of the Purple
Heart Medal. Were making hunting

easier for a tiny fraction of the more


than 200,000 turkey hunters who participate, said Hesselbein (D-Middleton). It is a small gesture of thanks for
their sacrifice.
The wild turkey population has
surged in Wisconsin since the bird was
re-introduced in 1976. It is a Wisconsin wildlife management success
story, Hesselbein said.

We sell cheese curds, cottage

Regardless of which generation is

It is our favorite part of being a

many people. We always look forward

Congratulations to the five competitors


from Wingait Farms in the 2015 Morgan
Masterpiece Charity horse show Youth of
the Year contest. This is a contest in which
youth are tested with a riding pattern, a
written exam and a speech. This years
speech topic was Why a Morgan, and
each participant had to come up with
their own speech to present in front of
trainers and judges. This contest qualifies
them to compete at the national level. Natalie Sanders from Mazomanie, a Wisconsin Heights student, won this years
competition at the Morgan Masterpiece,
after a heartfelt speech and nailing the
pattern. Lorna Smithberger (not pictured) from Middleton placed third,
Grace Mitchell placed 4th, Cate Mitchell
placed 5th and Paige Mitchell placed 6th.
The Mitchell girls are from Mazomanie
and attend Wisconsin Heights.

MUSTARD

more than 450 different mustards, on


National Mustard Day and every day,
in the Museum gift shop.

Mustard Museum founder and curator Barry Levenson.

File photo by Matt Geiger

Wheel of Fortune and the new Pitching


for Mustard. A rock-climbing wall will
test the mettle of all who aspire to new
heights.
Representatives of several mustard
makers will be on hand to sample some
of the worlds most distinctive mustards. The always popular POUPON U
Accordion Band will kick off the days
activities and local favorites The Red
Hot Horn Dawgs and the Evan Riley
Band will provide top-notch musical
entertainment.
Major Museum sponsors Frenchs
and Grey Poupon, along with dozens
of other mustard companies and mustard fans, have all contributed to make
this years National Mustard Day one
of the countrys most important food
festivals. Grey Poupon will be sampling a new recipe idea, a Virgin Mustard Bloody Mary, along with their
different flavors. The lovable Frenchs
mascot will delight children of all ages
with her antics. Frenchs famous mustards, including their new BBQ, Spicy,
and Sweet varietals, will be available
for topping hot dogs and soft hot pretzels.
The Roth Cheese Food Truck from
Monroe, WI, will serve up grilled
cheese sandwiches (with mustard, of
course). Culvers, headquartered in
nearby Prairie du Sac, WI, has created
a fresh frozen Honey Mustard Custard,

available exclusively at the Mustard


Museum and only on National Mustard
Day.
This years mustardalicious creation will be another taste sensation,
said Patti Levenson, aka Mrs. Mustard.
The National Mustard Museum
opened to the public in 1992 but celebrated its first National Mustard Day in
1991 with only a small gathering of
friends in the curators back yard. It has
grown to a major festival known
around the world for its surreal dedication to a condiment that millions may
take for granted though not the mustard fanatics at the Mustard Museum.
The National Mustard Museum
holds the worlds largest collection of
mustards (more than 5,800) and mustard memorabilia.
Founder and curator Barry Levenson
reminds food lovers that mustard is not
only a versatile condiment but a
healthy one, too: With no more than
10 calories per serving and no fat or
cholesterol, it really is the King of
Condiments.
Levenson notes that Shakespeare
mentions mustard in four of his plays.
Neither ketchup nor mayonnaise even
come close to such literary notoriety,
he adds.
With the help of Confidential Condiment Counselors, visitors can taste

UTILITY

and sanitary sewer utilities to the Community of Bishops Bay. The planned
extension of these utilities would facilitate long-term growth, not only for the
Community of Bishops Bay, but also

MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE

for the citys planned northern area.


The Common Council conceptually
has approved establishing this Utility
District in the undeveloped city portion
in the Community of Bishops Bay, and

THURSDAY, JULY 30, 2015

continued from page 1

Utility districts projected timeline


The following is the projected timeline for the development of the Utility District and
utilities to serve the Community of Bishops Bay within the
district:

August 4:
1) Public Hearing/Adoption
of Utility District
2) Town of Westport Approval
of its District
3) Intergovernmental Agreement/Middleton & Westport for

the property owners within the district


would annually pay special taxes to
cover the citys borrowing costs for
construction of the water and sewer
utility extensions. The citys loan principal would be paid down as final plats
are approved for development within
the utility district.
Under consideration is the extension
of utilities to better facilitate the citys

Utility Districts
4) Agreement/Community of
Bishops Bay & City of Middleton
5) Initial Resolution of Necessity for City Financing of District
6) Annexation of Remaining
Parcel(s) from Town of Westport for Utility District
September 1:
Final Selection of Engineering/Design Firm and design

fgrowth area in addition to the Community of Bishops Bay.


The city had considered a less expensive option that would have placed
water and sanitary sewer utilities in the
Pheasant Branch Conservancy but determined that the long-term planning
benefits of the northern route and past
concerns over utilities in the conservancy outweighed any fiscal benefits

process

January, 2016:
Water & Sewer (maybe February) Bidding Conducted

February, 2016:
Contractor Selected& Final
City Borrowing Resolution

April, 2016:
Commence Construction of
Utility District facilities
from the less expensive option.
As other properties develop in the
citys planned northern growth area,
they too would pay proportionately for
the overall costs of the utility extension. The general taxpayers of the city
would not pay directly for this expense.
All lands in the proposed district are
currently owned by Community of
Bishops Bay, LLC.

town meeting is one of the few remaining examples of direct democracy in

the U.S.
Towns also tend to provide fewer
services than other municipalities and,
as a result, town finances differ from
those of cities and villages. A new report from Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance (WISTAX), How Do Towns
Measure Up: A Closer Look At Town

Finance takes a closer look at oft-ignored Wisconsin towns. Now in its


84th year, WISTAX is a nonpartisan
organization devoted to public policy
research and citizen education.
Another unusual feature of towns is
the limited services they provide and
fund. Towns spent $790.6 million from
general funds in 2013, or $479 per
capita. Capital expenditures (e.g. building projects) of $80 million and debt
service ($67 million) aside, that left
$643.5 million, or $390 per capita, to
pay for basic services. By comparison
villages spent $1,204 in general funds
in 2013, or $715 when capital and debt
service expenditures were excluded.
Cities spent the most, at $1,604 per
capita; $979 without capital and debt.
A significant reason for the difference between the finances of towns
and other types of municipalities is that
most towns do not have police or fi re
departments. Most rely on the county
sheriffs office for police services. For
fire protection, some are part of joint
departments with neighboring towns,
villages, or cities, while others contract

Another big win for Ashton


H OME TALENT B ASEBALL

12 hits and
10 runs are
more than
enough to down
Cross Plains

by DENNIS SEMRAU

Special to the Times-Tribune

CROSS PLAINS Offensive explosions are hard to come by so pitcher


Kevin Peternell made sure to make the
most of the ample support his Ashton
teammates provided him Sundayafternoon.
Shane Adler blasted a grand slam to
power a 12-hit attack while Peternell
scattered six hits in a complete-game
effort as Ashton cruised to a 10-3 victory over Cross Plains in a Home Talent League Northern Section Eastern
Division game.
Jackson (Keeler) and I talked after
that inning about that, Peternell said
of a seven-run second-inning that
staked Ashton to an early six-run lead.
Just throw it over the plate and let
them do what they want with the ball.
Just get them to hit ground balls, get
outs, fly balls whatever it comes down
to.
Keeler, a former three-year starting
catcher at Middleton High School who
now plays at UW-La Crosse, said the
early lead allowed Peternell to relax
and take control.
His slider was really working. All
of his pitches were working, Keeler
said of Peternell, who struck out three

and walked only one batter in a stellar


99-pitch outing. He went to the slider
a lot. We saw even during warmups
that it was sharp. But his curve ball was
his out pitch today.
The victory gave defending HTL
champion Ashton (9-6) a sweep of the
season series with Cross Plains (9-6)
and put it in position to earn a higher
seed in the playoffs.
Going into the playoffs everybodys got to step up, second baseman
Nick Maier said of Ashton, which
plays at Mazomanie while Cross
Plains hosts West Middleton to
close out the regular seasonon Sunday.
Were playing good ball, even last
week against Middleton (a 6-0 loss) we
played them tough.Thats what weve
got to do, get hot at the right time and
see what we can do.
Cross Plains starter Garrett Knudtson retired Ashton in order in the first
inning before being staked to a 1-0 lead
in the bottom of the frame.
Jeremy Lochner lined the first of his
two hits to right field, stole second,
moved to third on a throwing error and
scored when Will Doherty hit a sacrifice fly to center field.
Ashton, though, provided all the
support Peternell would need when it
scored seven runs in the top of the second all after two outs.
We had to have the bottom of the
order start producing and they did
today, Ashton manager Dave Adler
said. Tanner (Meinholz) had three hits
and Nick (Maier) got on base five
times.
Derek Prochaska ripped a double to
right-center field to open the second,
moved to third on an infield out and
scored when Meinholz lined a single to
left field to tie the game.
After Trevor Dresen followed with a

single to left, Knudtson issued consecutive walks to Maier, Peternell and


Aaron Gowan to force in a pair of runs
which resulted in a pitching change.
However, Shane Adler crossed up
the strategy when he blasted a 1-1 pitch
from reliever Shane Murphy over the
left-field fence to give Ashton a six-run
cushion.
Adler said at first he thought Cross
Plains left fielder Casey Lochner was
going to catch his long fly ball but wasnt surprised it ended up as a grand
slam.
It was a fastball inside. I knew I hit
it very well. I dialed it up, Adler said.
It was a new pitcher so my approach
was a little different than the guys before me.
Shanes been throwing well so
when he throws you something good
youve got to swing at it. You dont
want to have two strikes and be down
0-2, 1-2 then youve got to be defensive. When youve got a 1-1 count you
can afford to be a little aggressive.
Murphy then silenced the Ashton
bats retiring 10 of the next 12 hitters.

But the damage had been done.


Shane just turned on an inside
pitch. He told me during the game it
was three inches inside and he just
made a good swing and got the bat
around. If he doesnt make that swing,
its a completely different game, Jeremy Lochner said.
Peternell took advantage of the runsupport to retire eight of the nine batters he faced spanning the second
through fourth innings, including inducing Ken Allen who finished with
two hits to bounce into a 4-3 double
play to end the fourth.
Hes been like that all year. The
games weve lost havent been because
of pitching but because of lack of hitting. Hes been great all year, Tanner
Meinholz said of Peternell.
But Cross Plains didnt go away,
taking advantage of three Ashton errors
in the fifth inning to pull within 7-3.
Ryan Pulvermacher and Jared Haack
reached base on back-to-back errors to
open the inning before Casey Lochner
beat out a bunt single to load the bases
with no outs.
Pulvermacher then scored on a sacrifice fly to left by Jordan Lueck, and
Haack scored on Jeremy Lochners
two-out single to center field.
But on the play, Shane Adler threw
out Casey Lochner at the plate to end
the inning and Cross Plains managed
just two baserunners the rest of the
way.
We just couldnt shut them down
offensively, Cross Plains manager
Dave Sarbacker said of Ashton, which
got hits from eight different starters.
They hit the ball where we werent
and thats how you score a bunch of
runs. Just put the ball in play and take
advantage of the walks.
Trevor Dresen and Maier drew a

pair of walks off reliever Austin Cook


to open the eighth inning, Peternell
added an infield single and Shane
Adler was hit by a pitch with two outs
to score Dresen to extend Ashtons lead
to 8-3.
Tanner Meinholz added an RBI-single and Peternell capped the scoring
with a sacrifice fly to left field in the
ninth inning.
Maier, who finished with a single,
double, two walks and a hit by pitch in
five plate appearances, said it was a
matter of some timely at-bats.
Thats when you need the clutch
hits. When you get runners in scoring
position, one out, two outs, it doesnt
matter. Youve got to get the hits, he
said.
Peternell secured the victory by retiring 10 of the final 11 batters he
faced.
Hes a horse out there right now. He
wanted to keep going. He was throwing hard at the end, Dave Adler said.
Jeremy Lochner agreed.
We know whats coming every
time. Weve seen him year after year
and game after game and he always
seems to stymie us for some reason,
Lochner said.
Peternell admitted it was important
to finish the game with the loss of former starting shortstop and closer Garret
Novinski, who played his final game a
week ago before departing for Tucson,
Arizona for a teaching job.
I felt good today. There was no way
I was coming out, said Peternell who
also reached base twice and drove in
two runs as Ashtons lead-off hitter.
Its always fun pitching here against
CP.

and walked two.


Schafer threw well enough to earn
the victory, Simon said. We just didnt put up the runs against Lodis good
pitching.
Middleton grabbed a 2-0 lead in the
third inning when Zimmerman scored

on an error and Josh Hinsons RBI single to left plated Brandon Scheidler.
Lodi scored once in the fourth and
twice in the fifth to grab a 3-2 lead.
Hinson then had an RBI sacrifice fly
that scored Scheidler and tied the
game, 3-3.

Lodi struck for two in the seventh


and surged ahead, 5-3. But Middletons
big eighth inning helped it stay alive
for the No. 1 seed in the Northern Section.
Cook finished the day 2-for-4 and
Hinson had two RBI.

Middleton improves to stellar 13-2


by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune

Middletons Home Talent League


team continued its march towards
greatness on Sunday.
And in the process, the 29ers put
Lodis postseason hopes on life support.
Middleton scored three runs in the
eighth inning and rallied past Lodi, 65.
Middleton, champions of the Northern Sections East Division, improved
to 13-2. Lodi slipped to 4-11.
Middleton travels to Sauk Prairie
(14-1) Sunday at 1 p.m. in a game that
will determine the No. 1 seed in the
Northern Section.
I feel very lucky to have ended up
with the win, said Middletons Eric
Simon, who handled managerial duties
with skipper Brandon Hellenbrand out
of town. If it wasnt for Lodis errors,
they would have still been in the playoff hunt.
Middleton trailed, 5-3, heading to
the eighth inning when it struck for

three runs.
Cole Cook led off the inning with a
single, A.J. Redders walked and Drew
Farrell reached on an infield single to
load the bases. Cook scored on a
passed ball to make it 5-4.
All-stars: The Home Talent
League All-Star Game is Friday at 7
p.m. at Warner Park. Middleton will
be represented by A.J. Redders and
Kevin Dubler.

Then with two outs, Luke Schafer


hit a routine ground ball to third baseman Kyle Mack. Macks throw to first
was short, though, and skipped away
from the first baseman allowing Redders and Zimmerman to score and propel Middleton to a 6-5 lead.
Drew Farrell, who worked the final
2 2/3 innings, then slammed the door
shut in the ninth and earned the win.
Farrell struck out four and didnt allow
a run.
Starter Jeff Schafer pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowed four runs, struck out six
