The hotel and senior living facility would be built in

Work could begin this


year on a hotel and a senior

West.
With construction season
quickly slipping away, the
Common Council decided
Tuesday, May 10, to approve
a plan for the projects second phase that opens the
door for those two projects
and creates conditions for
further expansion.
On an 8-3 vote, the council gave the go-ahead for an
area containing the two projects, but said no other work
could go forward in Phase
2 until the developer meets

Finding a good fit


Nicoll volunteers,
runs programs at
senior center
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unified Newspaper Group

There may not be a horseshoes pit set up yet at the


Stoughton Area Senior Center, but volunteer/program
coordinator Tricia Nicoll
said shes ready with a
mean game of horseshoes
if it happens.
Nicoll, who started at the
senior center in January, is
finding a good fit there, and
in the city where she and her
family, including two young
children, have been putting
down roots for the past seven years.
Were just getting into
the school system and all the

activities that happen in the


community, Nicoll said.
The Madison native started out as a math major at
the University of Wisconsin-La
Crosse, but
quickly realized it was
a bit too
intense for
h e r l i k i n g , Nicoll
and stumbled upon recreational
therapy. After earning a
degree in therapeutic recreation, she worked at a variety of assisted living facilities, mental health facilities,
nursing homes and a lot of
different volunteer services
that kind of got me exposed
to all kinds of populations,
but primarily older adults.

Weather slows festival, indoor events get substantial boost


TOM ALESIA
Unified Newspaper Group

It snowed, however briefly, at Syttende Mai.


Yes, a few snowflakes fell last Saturday afternoon, but it emphasized
how dreary the weather was during
two of the events three days last
weekend.
Last Friday, it rained. Last Saturday, it was chilly and windy.
Interim event coordinator Tricia
Suess told the Hub on Monday that
it affected Friday and Saturdays
crowds, but final figures for events
and sales werent available.
We saw so many people come out
on Sunday morning trying to get the
last bit of festival in when the weather turned nicer, Suess said.

and covered from rain. Suess said
about shifting the two areas close
together seems like it was a positive
move.
The weather boosted indoor
events. That included an arts and
crafts fair that moved inside this
year.
That was a bustling place to be,
Suess said. They did well.
And the Stoughton Village Players comedy Bucky and Lena Get
Hitched also attracted big crowds.

Five shows sold out in the 160-seat


theater. Two other shows had only a
couple of dozen seats remaining.
Were very happy, said Dan
Prueher of SVP.
Some canoe racers signed up but
did not participate due to the cold.
The 20- and 10-mile running races
proceeded as normal and the cool
temperatures were welcomed by
many runners.
I heard from runners that they
would rather have the (cool) temperatures rather than 85 degrees or
something like that, Suess said.
Suess also kept her humor about
the poor weather.
I did submit a weather plan, she
said, but Im not sure the other end
got the information.

What is dementia?
Dementia is not a specific disease, but an overall term
describing a wide range of symptoms associated with a
decline in memory or other thinking skills that reduce a
persons ability to perform everyday activities. Alzheimers
disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of cases.
Vascular dementia, which occurs after a stroke, is the
second most common dementia type. But there are many
other conditions that can cause symptoms of dementia,
including some that are reversible, such as thyroid problems and vitamin deficiencies.
Dementia is often incorrectly referred to as senility or
senile dementia, which reflects the formerly widespread
but incorrect belief that serious mental decline is a normal
part of aging.

Co-op asks to limit parking


BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group

The Yahara River Grocery


Cooperative has noticed a
downtick in business over
the past year and is hoping
the Common Council can
do something to help.
The co-op board of directors sent a letter May 3
to the council and Mayor
Donna Olson requesting
that three parking stalls
in front of the East Main
Street business be changed
from a two-hour parking
limit to a 30-minute limit
during daytime retail hours.
The council discussed
the matter, which involves
amending a parking ordinance, during its last meeting May 10.
Ald. Mike Engelberger
(D-2), who chairs the Public Safety committee, introduced the topic and said he
supports the request.
Everybody on that block
is OK with it, he said.
But other alders offered
an array of suggestions.
Some suggested allowing

two 30-minute spots on


every downtown block.
Several alders supported the
idea of conducting a downtown parking study, while
others spoke in favor of
changing the ordinance for
the entire downtown.
Ald. Greg Jenson (D-3)
suggested approving the
request for a year with a
sunset provision, and studying the downtown-parking
situation in the interim.
Police chief Greg Leck
said hes not a policymaker
and his department would
enforce whatever the council decides. But he said he
doesnt have adequate staffing and doesnt like adopting an ordinance that his
department cant enforce.
My biggest concern is
if you have a 30-minute
limit in the ordinance, then
theres going to be some
expectation of enforcement, he said. And we
just dont have the staff to
adequately enforce it.
He also warned of a
cause-and-effect when it
comes to changing parking
regulations downtown.
I worry about the effect
of removing three stalls
from the two-hour parking
limit and having something
different, he said. Where

does that then push the longer-term parking off to, and
does that create a problem
in another area for another
business?
John Morgan, president
of the co-ops board of
directors, told the council
that his Main Street business neighbors Stoughton Village Players, Fosdals Bakery and the Viking
Brew Pub and others supported the co-ops request.
He also noted that Washington Street, the first
parallel street from Main
Street to the north, is almost

entirely open parking with


no restrictions all day for
four blocks. He suggested
that people visiting for the
day could park there.
Jenson moved to waive a
second reading of the ordinance an unusual step that
requires the support of twothirds of the council but
the motion failed.
The council is expected
to revisit the matter at its
next meeting on May 24.

Letter to the editor

KPW planning requires more research


In the March 17 issue of the
Courier Hub, (Forward Development Group project manager
Dennis) Steinkraus is quoted as
follows: New road construction
at Hwy. 51 and Deer Point Road,
which becomes Roby Road and
leads into the development, is
a needed second entrance. Its
expected that a traffic light would
be needed at Hwy. 51 and Deer
Point Road, and the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation
would become involved with that.
I wonder what evidence Mr.
Steinkraus uses to justify that a
traffic light is expected or needed.
From data provided by DoT
the accident rates at that particular intersection fall far below the
level for needing improvement. In
fact, they are below the level needed for that intersection to even be
monitored for improvements (i.e.
a traffic signal), according to the
US 51 Study Corridor document
available on the Wisconsin DOT
website. See the 0.7 crash rate for
Roby/Deer Point Road and Hwy.
51 less than half the rate for an
intersection needing improvement
by WisDOT standards.
Even DoTs traffic volume estimations are coming under fire.

The organization 1000 Friends of


Wisconsin successfully blocked
one of expansion projects in court.
Road use is declining and yet DoT
is approving more roads, just as
the Public Service Commission
has approved more transmission
lines despite decreases in electrical use, according to WISDOT
Projections vs. Reality: An Analysis of Traffic Trends, available
on the 1000 Friends of Wisconsin
website.
The interim improvements listed on this page do not appear to
be needed either judging by our
crash data, similar to the Roby
Road intersection with Hwy 51,
according to the Wisconsin DOT
website.
KPW has been characterized
by its opponents as having been
planned too rapidly, and perhaps
the question of the extra access
point to the highway is another
example.

Town of Dunkirk

Domestic violence is
common, but not normal

omestic violence is far


more common than you
might think. But persuading victims of violence that their
situation is not normal is a lot
harder than it should be.
In 2012, there were 28,729
incidents of domestic violence
reported to police in Wisconsin,
resulting in 20,531 arrests. In
Stoughton alone, police officers
were called
to 21 domestic violence
incidents in a
single month
of that year.
That is just
what was actually reported.
Based on what
Dirks
victims tell us,
we know that
many incidents
are not. Odds are very good
that as you read these words,
someone in Stoughton is being
abused.
Domestic abuse rarely starts
out with a punch in the mouth. It
tends to begin with control and
isolation.
The abuser wont let his victim
out of his sight. She (or more
rarely, he) cant see friends without him around. Hes always
checking her phone. Eventually
she cant see anyone else at all.
When she pushes back against
the control, thats usually when
the violence starts. And it escalates.
Sometimes it isnt physical
abuse of the victim. He might
beat her dog or cut up her
clothes. I had a case where the
victim came home from work
to find that he had put all her
belongings in the back yard and
set them on fire. Her clothes, a
table her grandfather had made,
her mothers wedding dress. All

her photos.
Crime victims in Wisconsin
have the right to discuss the case
in which they are involved with
the prosecutor who has filed the
charges. Over the years, I have
charged over 2,000 domestic
violence cases in Rock County,
so I have also met with hundreds
of domestic abuse victims.
More often than not, in these
meetings the victim tries to minimize what was reported to the
police, or say it never happened
at all.
Theyll say many of the same
things: Its mostly my fault; I
know how to push his buttons.
Hes really a very good father.
Hes only like this when hes
drinking and now hes in counselling. It didnt really happen
the way it shows up in the police
reports. That cop was putting
words in my mouth. I need
him home; I cant do everything
by myself. It really wasnt that
bad. It was all a misunderstanding.
I have heard each of these over
and over, word for word.
When I meet with victims of
domestic violence who dont
want to press charges, I first
have to explain to them it is not
their decision; it is the district
attorneys. And while crime victims have the opportunity to say
what they would like to see happen with a case, it is ultimately
up to the prosecutor whether and
how cases are prosecuted.
Next, I try to help them understand that what has happened in
their home is not normal.
In the vast majority of relationships when adults have a
disagreement, even a strong
disagreement, they do not shout
names at each other that the Hub
cant print. They do not throw
things. They do not punch or

kick holes in walls and doors.


They do not hit, slap, kick or
choke each other.
In normal adult relationships,
the neighbors or the kids
dont have to call the police in to
break things up.
Those things happen all the
time in the homes of the abuse
victims Ive met. If I ask, they
nearly always will say that
as kids they experienced that
behavior in their home.
If kids grow up watching
adults interact by shouting vile
names, throwing things, etc.,
that is what they come to see as
normal. If I dont like what my
significant other is doing, its
OK to throw dishes. If I tell my
boyfriend I dont want him going
out drinking, I have to expect
that he might hit me. Thats the
way it is.
When kids see their parents
doing these things, they will
do it in their own relationships.
They will do it at school.
Right here in Stoughton, we
are seeing the results of kids
growing up as witnesses to violence.
Help is available to get out
of abusive relationships, or at
least try to make them better.
One source in Dane County is
Domestic Abuse Intervention
Services (Abuseintervention.org
or 800-747-4045).
Chances are good that you
know someone in an abusive
relationship. It might be you.
Please know that this is not a
normal life. It is not a normal
way to grow up.

Part of the difficulty of authenticity, of being who we truly are, is that we are
free to be whoever we want to be. There are of course limits to human freedom, but within those limits we are free to act honestly or dishonestly,to act
with integrity or not, depending on the circumstances. Perhaps the reason
why the sting of conscience can be so painful is that when we did the thing
that we now regret, we know that we could have done otherwise. When we
make a conscious decision to lie, or steal, or otherwise act contrary to the dictates of conscience, we are bound to regret it later. Its also difficult to be who
we truly are because we are all in the process of becoming who we shall be.
The act of becoming is perhaps the essential project at the core of humanity.
It is the life project that every human being must work out, on their own,with
fear and trembling, but also with quiet reflection. Who are you, really, and who
are you becoming? Answering these questions requires being honest with
oneself, and involves reflecting not only on issues of character, but also on our
relationships with others, and our careers, and even our likes and dislikes. Be
yourself, but perhaps more importantly, become the best version of yourself
that is possible.

The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but

Nicoll: These are my people


I was like, these are
my people, I love this,
Nicoll told the Hub. It
was great.
For the past 10 years,
she worked at Attic Angels
retirement community
in Madison as an activities director and volunteer coordinator for Attic
Angels in Madison, but
was finding her time was
taken up too much at work
and driving the Beltline.
She said she and her husband made a conscious
decision to be at home
with the kids, and then
the job opened up at the
Stoughton Senior Center
right at home.
I thought, Perfect, I
can get back into my profession, Nicoll said.
I love to organize and I
love volunteers and working with them, so it was a
no-brainer. The unexpected piece of it is I get to
connect with my community. So now living here,
and organizing event and
outings and meeting people the internal knowledge Im gaining is wonderful.

Nicoll said she enjoys


that her position is parttime, but still keeps her
plenty busy.
Im not a person who
just likes to sit, she said.
I love talking to everybody What kind of
events do you enjoy?
Where would you like to
do on an outing? What
kind of classes or programs what interests
you? Last week, she
led a trip to Epic Systems
Corporation in Verona, an
idea that came from a suggestion from a patron.
We had such a great
response, she said. We
had a waiting list. Now
w e r e g o i n g t o c h e c k
out their second campus
tour, and were going to
do these on a bi-monthly basis. You never know
until you try.
The greatest challenge
is getting younger older adults mixed with the
older older adults when
it comes to choosing activities, Nicoll said.

Underclassmen make
huge strides to push
Stoughton to the top

Vikings earn
first conference

Vikings make it six straight

ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor

In order to continue to have


success as a high school program,
there needs to be younger girls
ready to fill the void left by graduating seniors.
And Tuesday shows why the
Stoughton High School girls track
and field team continues to defy
the odds and add hardware every
season.
Freshmen Margaret Ross, Abby
Kittleson, Alexandria Ashworth
and Anna Wozniak joined junior
Aly Weum and junior Kiley Lynch
as some of the top stars on the
team, as the Vikings (154.5 points)
picked up four individual titles on
their way to a sixth straight Badger South crown at Jones Dairy
Farm Park in Fort Atkinson.
Coming into the meet I think
we were a big underdog. I knew
we would compete, and I knew it
was going to be close but on paper
coming in, I dont think we were
the best team overall, head coach
Eric Benedict said. What happened tonight is our girls showed
up and competed and had some
amazing performances. Kids got
better, and that is what we needed
to have happen.
Ross (12 minutes, 3.16 seconds)
picked up her first career conference title in the two mile and
Wozniak (12:07.84) came back to
take runner-up by eight tenths of
a second over Monroes Rachel
Meier.
It feels really good, Ross said.
I didnt think I was going to beat
Anna because she has beaten me
in all the other races. It felt good
to start in tghe back and just picking off people in front of me.
Junior Clea Roe was sixth in the
two mile in 12:16.86.
Ross and Roe also joined sophomores Emily Reese and Gigi
Zaemisch in the 4x800 relay, taking second in 10:11.40.
I didnt think the distance team
would make the effort to help win
it, Ross said. Usually the distance team is kind of lacking and
the field athletes have to go for

Junior catcher Morgan


Neuenfeld has seen a drastic
turnaround from her freshman
season to this season for the
Stoughton High School softball team, and its a large part
of why the Vikings wrapped
up their first Badger South
Conference title in school history last week.
Its been a really intense
ride this season because were
all so dedicated to the program, Neuenfeld said. Having this feeling of school pride
and being able to do this for
the first time is really awesome. There was much pressure to do well because we
know we can.

well.
In the mile, Kittleson (5:26.98)
and Wozniak (5:36.87) went 2-3,
while Ashworth finished fifth
(5:43.37).
While junior Aly Weum won the

It was awesome because I

at Jones Dairy Farm Field at Fort Atkinson High School.
Krumholz won two individual titles and
also added a runner-up and a third place
as the Vikings took third overall (129
points), three points behind second-place
Monona Grove. Oregon won the meet
(166.5).
I am really happy with the turn out,

Kyle Bates and Dane Schultz combined to toss a three-hitter and Max Gartzke hit a leadoff solo home run to spark just
enough offense Saturday at Syttende Mai for the Utica Home

on the road.
I was just looking for something I could drive into the gap

and get on base. I just connected,


Gartzke said. We only scored
four runs. To keep them to two,
overall, I thought it was a great
win.

It was the shot heard around


the Badger South Conference
on Thursday as the Stoughton
High School baseball team
traveled to rival Oregon.
Senior Zach Kirby came up
with one on and no outs and
the Vikings down two runs
in the top of the seventh and
erased the deficit with one
swing of the bat, blasting a
home run over the wall in left
field off Oregon pitcher Jordan Helmkamp.
Despite those heroics,
Stoughton was unable to take
the lead and ended up allowing four free bases in the bottom of the seventh in a 5-4
loss.
The seventh began with a
walk to senior Nick Woodstock, and he made it to second base on a passed ball.
But it didnt matter where
Woodstock was on the bases because Kirby crushed the
ball over the wall to tie the
game.
After the home run, junior
Bryan Wendt and sophomore
Brady Schipper both bunted
and reached base to put two
on and no out. But a lineout
doubleplay to second base

off the bat of sophomore Dillon Nowicki and a groundout


by senior Nathan Varese got
Helmkamp out of the inning.
Senior Jake Kissling, who
relieved Nowicki after the
fourth inning, got two flyouts
to start the bottom of the seventh, but then he hit Jake Odegard and walked both Jared
Jones and Josh Gomoll to load
the bases.
Sophomore Brock Wanninger then came in to pitch
to pinch hitter Ben Prew and
a third straight walk led to the
game-winning run, scoring
pinch runner Nik Richardson.
Stoughton fell behind 3-0
until the top of the fourth.
Schipper tripled, and Nowicki
hit a sacrifice fly to bring him
in.
Varese then walked, and
senior Michael Pork Gerber
later singled to put runners
on the corners and two outs.
Sophomore Nick Waldorf
then hit an RBI single to center field to bring home Varese
and make it 3-2.
The Panthers added a run
in the bottom of the fourth.

Utica left fielder Christian Stokstad makes a catch in front of center fielder Andy Martin the fourth
inning Saturday. The As beat the host Stoughton Merchants 4-2 during Syttende Mai.

Home Talent: As knock off Merchants


Continued from page 11
up one run on two singles and a walk in
six innings.
We faced Bates enough times I dont
know Youre a little light this time of
year, but thats no excuse. We should have
hit the ball better than we did, Stoughton
manager Dale Seffens said.
Dane Schultz tossed the final three
innings to earn the save. He allowed one
hit and struck out two, but struggled to
find the zone with consistency.
Stoughton loaded the bases with three
straight walks off Schultz to start the
home half of the ninth inning, but Utica got Tanner Klitzke to pop out before
Scott Nachreiner hit a sacrifice fly to cut
the As lead in half.
Schultz reloaded the bases with a

fourth walk in the inning before getting


DiPrizio to hit a game-ending liner to a
leaping Hildebrandt, who replace him at
shortstop.
A pair of veteran teams, the rivals both
figure to get a few college players back
in the coming weeks, including infielder
Simon Maurice for Stoughton and Chris
Lund for Utica.
Last week was even worse with
(catcher) Kevin ODonnell still out with a
pulled groin, Vike said. When you have
your full-squad it makes a big difference.
We just started in April and everyone is
still kind of getting back into shape.
Stoughton (1-1) travels to McFarland
(3-0) at 1p.m. Sunday for its next Southeast Section game. Utica (1-1) hosts
Deerfield (0-2) on Saturday before traveling to Albion (2-1) on Sunday. Both
games are slated for 1p.m. starts.

The Stoughton High School boys lacrosse


team crushed La Crosse Central 16-2 on May
13.
Senior Parker Kruckenberg picked up
three goals and three assists, while junior
Sam Onsager had a goal and five assists.
Junior Dylan Gross collected four goals and
an assist, and junior Tanner Gutche had three
goals and an assist.
Senior Ethan Olsen contributed two goals
and an assist, while sophomore Cameron
Furseth scored a goal and added assist.

Ziemet (assist) and sophomore Issak Olsen

Stoughton 12, Tomah 2

Continued from page 12
outs on a single to center.
Oregon started the scoring in the second after
Mueller doubled home
Gomoll, and the Panthers
added two in the third with
an RBI double by Jones to
score Odegard. Stoughton
attempted to throw out Odegard at the plate, and while
the umpire called him safe,
the ball slid past the catcher
to the backstop.
That allowed Jones, who
reached third on the throw,
to come all the way around
to score. Stoughton argued
the call, stating that Odegard blocked the plate, but
the umpires had a conference and ruled in favor of
Oregon.
Helmkamp picked up the
win for Oregon. He allowed
two earned runs on three
hits in one inning, walking
one. Adam Heath started
and allowed two earned
runs on seven hits in six
innings, striking out three
and walking one.
Kissling took the loss,
allowing an earned run
on three walks and a hit
by pitch in 2 2/3 innings.
Nowicki started and allowed
four earned runs on four hits
in four innings, striking out
six, walking four and hitting
a batter. Wanninger walked
the only batter he faced.
The Vikings are now 5-4
tied with Monroe in the
Badger South Conference
with three games to play.
Madison Edgewood (7-3)

is alone in first place, while


Fort Atkinson is 6-3. Oregon is 5-5.
Stoughton travels to Mansfield Stadium at 7:45p.m.
Thursday to take on Madison Edgewood and travels
to Jones Park to take on
Fort Atkinson at 5p.m. Friday. The Vikings then host
Monroe at 5p.m. Monday,
most likely needing to win
all three games to have a
chance to win or share the
conference title.
Stoughton closes the
week in a Badger crossover
at 5p.m. Tuesday, May 24,
at Waunakee. The regular
season ends with a non-conference game against Madison West at 5p.m. Friday,
May 27, at Mansfield Stadium.

Stoughton 4,
Sauk Prairie 1
The Vikings traveled to
Waunakee on Saturday to
take on Sauk Prairie in the
Badger Challenge and utilized six pitchers for the 4-1
win.
Nowicki, Waldorf and
Wendt all had RBIs, and the
Stoughton pitchers did the
rest.
Kissling allowed a hit and
walk in two innings, striking
out three for the win. Varese
struck out a batter in two
innings. Wanninger allowed a
hit and struck out a batter in
one inning.
Gerber pitched a perfect
inning, and Kirby walked
four and allowed a run without recording an out.

Senior Jack Nelson struck


out a batter in one inning for
the save.

Beloit Memorial 8,
Stoughton 1
Stoughton hosted non-conference Beloit Memorial on
Monday and lost 8-1.
The lone Viking run came
in the fourth when Varese
picked up an RBI on a
groundout, scoring Schipper.
That cut Stoughtons deficit
to 5-1.
Beloit added a run in
the fifth, sixth and seventh
innings.
Nelson was 2-for-2 with a
double, while Schipper added
a double.
Varese took the loss. He
allowed one earned run on
six hits and a walk in four
innings.

DeForest 5, Stoughton 3
The Vikings hosted DeForest in a Badger crossover
Tuesday and lost 5-3.
Nowicki singled home Kirby in the bottom of the third
to give the Vikings a breif
one-run lead before the Norskies tallied three runs in the
fourth.
An RBI single by Varese
and an RBI groundout by
Gerber brought home Nelson
and Nowicki in the first.
Nelson took the loss. He
allowed no earned runs on
two walks in 3 2/3 innings.
Gerber pitched a perfect
inning and Rocky France
allowed two earned runs on
one hit and three walks in 2
1/3 innings.

KPW: Hwy. 138 entry pushed


Continued from page 1

Map courtesy Forward Development Group

This map of traffic improvements at Kettle Park West depicts Oak Opening Drive, running through the center of Phase 2, connecting with
Hwy. 138. The Common Council has required the developer to get Department of Transportation approval for the connection before most
of the work in Phase 2 can begin. The exception is a small area north of Jackson Street, where the developer is planning for a hotel and
senior living facility.

Road, which would serve


as a second access point off
Hwy. 51 to Phase 2. Those
improvements include bicycle/pedestrian accommodations and a traffic signal
(temporary or permanent) at
the Roby Road/Deer Point
Road intersection with Hwy.
51.
The developer provides
the city with a letter of credit or a performance bond in
the amount of 120 percent
of the estimated total cost to
complete the required public
improvements.
The council met as a
committee for the third
time Tuesday to discuss the
Phase 2 plan, which at this
stage is known as a preliminary plat. After more than
an hour, it transitioned to a
regular council meeting and
continued to debate the project for another three-plus
hours before approving the
resolution and changing the
zoning for several parcels in
Phase 2.

the resolution that would


have required the developer to provide a map to the
city and DOT that shows
Oak Opening Drive, which
essentially dissects Phase
2 from north to south,
connecting to Hwy. 138.
Achieving the connection
has unanimous support
among city officials.
S e l s o r w i t h d r ew t h e
amendment after FDG
development manager Dennis Steinkraus explained that
including the connection on
a map submitted to the DOT
would postpone any work
on Phase 2 until the DOT
reached a final decision.
Steinkraus said that could
mean the developer would
miss this years construction season for any work
in Phase 2, specifically the
hotel and senior living facility.
He and several alders
agreed that it would be best
to go forward with those
buildings so they could
begin generating taxes for
the city, which provided
FDG with about $4.5 million in tax-incremental
financing for KPWs first
phase.
The developer plans to
seek more TIF assistance,
but that request could be
far off given that the councils action Tuesday means
no work can take place on
Phase 2 beyond the hotel
and senior living facility
without the DOTs approval
of the connection to Hwy.
138.
Alders who supported the
resolution to conditionally
approve the Phase 2 preliminary plat were Scott Truehl,
Regina Hirsch, Sid Boersma, Paul Lawrence, Tim
Swadley, Michael Engelberger, Greg Jenson and Pat
OConnor.
Alds. Selsor, Tom Majewski and Kathleen Tass Johnson voted against it.
Johnson (D-2) told the
Hub she voted against the
plat because her constituents
dont support the development.
Im following what my
constituents voted originally on the referendum, she
said. They said no to the
development.
Selsor (D-4) said his vote
was symbolic.
It was not an attempt
to stop the project but to
remind the citizens that
there are people on the
council who know weve
been pushed into something
we dont want, he said.
Its not going to be good
for the city but weve got to
live with it and work on it.
It was mainly meant to
show people that theyre
being recognized, he added, the ones who voted 60
percent against the development (in last years referendums).
Majewski said he also
would like to see the hotel
and senior living facility be
built but voted against the
plat because he was unsure
of its ramifications should
the developer, for any reason, not continue with the
rest of KPW beyond the
commercial center.
I was worried about
whether the preliminary plat
would encumber the other
properties in the future if
anybody else would want to
develop them, he said.
