and smartphones.

SHS students go on virtual
field trips with Google
Expeditions
Taking students on field trips
around the world would be a fairly
costly prospect.
Good thing theres Google Expeditions, a technology that lets students explore the Great Barrier Reef,
visit World War II sites and view
Middle Age and Renaissance architecture without setting foot outside
their school.
After Stoughton High School was
selected as a Google Expeditions
Pioneer Program School earlier this
year, 18 groups of students got to use
the program on Monday afternoon,
with their teachers taking them on
virtual field trips using nothing more
than cardboard and Smartphones.
SHS library media specialist
Cathy Gargano signed up for SHS
to participate after learning about

the program during a Google Summit. In an email to the hub, Gargano
said teachers voluntarily signed up
for sessions and selected a field trip
based on their specific curricula.
It was a fun activity that was
designed to provide a different way
of looking the material being presented in the classroom, she said,
noting that more than 375 students
participated. The feedback I have
received from both students and staff
has been overwhelmingly positive.
Senior Bethany Buchwalds British Literature class went on a London Literary Tour, visiting sites like
the Globe Theater and Big Ben. She
was also in a science class that went
on an underwater excursion where
they explored Saunders Reef off the
coast of Australia and the Benwood
Wreck, a shipwreck off the coast of
Key Largo, Florida.
It was an educationally rich experience. Buchwald said.
The Google Expeditions kits consist of a tablet for the teacher and
cardboard viewers and phones for
every student. The teacher selects a
destination, and the entire classroom
jumps there automatically.
The trips are collections of virtual reality panoramas 360-degree
photo spheres, 3D images and video,
ambient sounds annotated with
details, points of interest, and questions that make them easy to integrate into curriculum already used
in schools, according to information
from Google.
At SHS, classes looked at flora
and underwater wildlife around the
Galapagos Islands, learned about the
history of Jazz and went on a London Literary Tour, among several
sites. During the program, teachers
can guide their class and point out
highlights while referring to editable
notes.

McFarland man gets 2 years in Man charged in dog

death of Pick N Save employee deaths near Stoughton
Cora Rugland died almost
18 months ago in a one-car
crash on a crumbling Jefferson County rural road.
The accident created ripples through three communities, including Stoughton,
where she worked part-time
at Pick N Save, Oregon,
where she lived, and McFarland, where she was a senior
in high school. The buoyant
Rugland, then 17, was sitting in the back seat, behind
the driver, McFarlands
Johnathan Mueller, whose
Jeep Grand Cherokee veered
off a road with virtually
no shoulder and hit a tree
before a sharp curve.
Rugland died on contact.

Mueller, suffered non-life

linking Rugland to the marijuana use that night. Rugland tested negative for the

What wasnt in question
was that Mueller had a low
amount of marijuana in his

of the crash when Rugland
joined three others to go
to a haunted house. Any
amount of marijuana in the
system while driving is illegal in Wisconsin.
Mueller, who turned 20
during the trial, spoke at his
sentencing: To this day, I
wish it would have been me.
I wish I could go back and
trade places with (Rugland).
Alders: Swangstu enjoyed term but also found it frustrating

run.
It was related to the
Wal-Mart issue, Swangstu
recalled. I just about had a
heart attack.
Now, he and Christianson
are leaving in the wake of
a separate, but related WalMart issue.
Both had been strong
supporters of Kettle Park
West but expressed concern
about the projects second
phase. And now, both are
being followed by alders
who are skeptical of the
development, especially
using tax-increment financing to assist it.
Wal-Mart: Glad its

over
Swangstu told the Hub
hell turn 77 in December
and felt it was time to focus
on other things, particularly
his role as American Legion
commander.
Hes glad the Wal-Mart
Supercenter is finally going
to be built after essentially
being on hold for 12 years.
He considers getting the
project through the citys
approval process a significant accomplishment.
Its finally come to fruition, and Im glad its over,
Swangstu said.
He told Mayor Donna
Olson and others in the city
administration last year that
he wouldnt run for another
term.
Im sure Wal-Mart was
on my mind, but the council
just got to be too much time
involved, he said in a telephone interview from the

American Legion Hall.
I spend a lot of time
here at the Legion, he said.
Its kind of
a relief now
not to have to
be thinking
about what
I have to do
for city council.
Swangstu
Christianson
said
he enjoyed is time on
the council
and learned
a lot about
local politics
and how the
city operates.
But the experience was
also frustratSwangstu
ing at times.
Ever since I got on, it
seemed like there was a faction that was against development, he observed. I
cant understand it, because
costs go up every year and
people want raises every
year, and we didnt have the
money to spend.
Youve got to grow, he
added. That was one of
my big points. And also to
leave the old people like
me alone who live on fixed
incomes. They cant afford
their taxes raised every time
they turn around.
The Stoughton native said
the city needed the Supercenter because the existing
store isnt big enough and
is the only place in town
to shop for socks and other
goods.

He also defended the

citys use of more than $4
million in tax-increment
financing to support the
development.
They (opponents) grumble about the money we
spent out there on KPW, but
none of that money went
into the development, other
than the essentials, he said.
Now theyre going to
have a little problem coming up with more TIF money going into the development.
The council postponed
a decision on the Phase
2 preliminary plat at its
last meeting, which didnt
sit well with Swangstu or
Christianson. Christianson
abruptly left the meeting
after the vote to postpone a
decision a move Swangstu
said he didnt agree with.
The other night they sat
there and talked about it
for an hour and then they
tabled it, he said. I didnt
see why they didnt do that
at the beginning.
Ron got up and left, he
continued. I didnt think
that was right. You took the
job on, so finish it when its
one more meeting. If people
are good enough to put you
there, then do your job.
Didnt put a lot of

effort
Christianson didnt return
a call after the meeting seeking comment, but following
his defeat, he told the Hub
he didnt put a lot of effort
into being re-elected.
The passion is still

there, he said. The mind
is still there but the body
isnt, so I decided to give it
an effort at least and go forward.
He wished the new council well and said he hopes
that theyre able to move us
into the future.
I think that Ive done
some good things for the
community, and Im proud
of what Ive done and the
service that Ive provided to
the city, he said.
After joining the council
in 2000, he was defeated
in his re-election bid three
years later, but he ran again
in 2004 to regain his seat.
He was a veteran of the
Planning Commission and
served as commission chair
for the past few years. He
also served many years on
the Redevelopment Authority.
Christianson previously
told the Hub that building a
new Wal-Mart was not his
goal in supporting KPW.
Instead, he viewed the project as expanding the citys
tax base and necessary to
spur new residential development and bring more families to the city.
Im going to take a year
off and give myself some air
and then see if the passion
is still there, he said. If it
is, Ill get back in there. But
I dont think Ill get back
on the council Ive had
enough of that. Im going
to take some time off and
reflect. Its been a blast.

Letters to the editor
Equip kids with ways to refuse drugs

Do you know the significance
of 4/20? For those individuals
including 18 percent of the SHS
youth that smoke marijuana, it
is considered their celebration
day, their smoke-out day, which
dates back to the 1970s. It is also
known as a daily routine at 4:20
p.m. as a time to light up and get
stoned.
StoughtonCARES wanted to
bring this to your attention once
again this year, for the statistics
are staggering regarding addiction issues when youth smoke
marijuana. Roughly 20 percent
of young people who smoke
marijuana could develop addiction issues in their lifetime. If
you take the enrollment numbers
at SHS of 1,056 students, that
equals to 211 potential students
could become addicted to marijuana in their lifetime. By contrast, the statistics for youth that
drink alcohol before the age of
21 that could develop addiction
issues in their lifetime is 10 percent.
So what can be done? Parents,
its suggested that you start communicating with your child by
fourth or fifth grade about drugs.
Be clear about your expectations
and give your child ways to say
no to marijuana and other drugs.
Role play with them, help them
find the right words to refuse
drug offers and let them know it
is fine to walk away even from

a friend.
Keep track of your child, and
network with other parents to
support each other and to create a
safety net for kids. Keep the lines
of communication open with your
child, eat dinner together whenever
possible and do fun family activities together. And remember that
our children learn by watching us,
not by what we say, so check your
behavior and think about the message it is sending to your child.
StoughtonCARES will be holding three town hall meetings this
year, with the first scheduled for
6:30 p.m. on May 25, at a to-be-decided location. The topic will be
Prescription Drugs: Going Back
to the Beginning, and there will
be a panel of experts discussing
their expertise in this critical area,
as prescription drug overdose has
become the number-one killer of
our youth. There will be plenty of
time left for question and answers.
The other two topics for our
town halls will be Marijuana:
Fact or Fiction and Binge Drinking and Alcohol Policy. Please
look for these important education
events in the near future.

Legislative Opinion
Wisconsin votes to
support local schools
n April 5, 53 public
school districts asked
their local citizens for
additional financial support
through 71 referenda questions.
Of those ballot issues, voters
approved 55, or more than 77
percent.
Funding from those referenda
questions will be used in places
like Spring Valley to maintain
their facilities.
The districts
elementary school is
between 40
and 88 years
old, depending on where
you stand. It
will be used in
Evers
districts like
Brodhead to
continue providing the level of
service the community is accustomed to by supporting staffing
needs and technology upgrades.
Over the past handful of years,
the passage rate of referenda
questions has steadily increased.
Ten years ago, in 2006, the
passage rate for referenda was

over 59 percent. And 15 years
ago, questions prevailed roughly
43 percent of the time.
Year-by-year snapshots cannot
tell the whole story of what is
happening with a school district,
state or nation, but the overall
trend in successful referenda
itself conveys an important message.
Referenda questions are being
prompted by budgetary shortfalls
as state support for PK-12 education stagnates. That is forcing
school boards to ask local taxpayers to shoulder more of the
cost to educate their children. It
troubles me to see the difference
between have districts that can
pass referenda, and have-not
districts that are unsuccessful.
As a state, we have a constitutional obligation to provide
an equal opportunity to access a
free public education system. I
fear our current pathway puts us
at odds with that guarantee.
The upcoming budget for the
state of Wisconsin presents a
perfect vehicle to engage on
two important issues: the need

for increased state support of
public education, and the need
to update our funding formula
to reflect our current educational
climate. I will be incorporating
these topics into the budget
request for education that Ill
propose for 2017-19.
Our state has undergone a
great deal of change in the
past two decades. Our public
school students overall are more
diverse, increasingly come from
low-income families, and more
are learning English. With technology all around us, methods
of learning and teaching have
changed as well. But despite all
this change, as Wisconsinites we
remain steadfast in our shared
value of maintaining a strong
system of public education.
Our public school funding
system must reflect the fairness
and equity we want for all of our
children.
Tony Evers,
Wisconsin State Superintendent
Senators should explain refusal to perform job duties

Some members of the U.S. Senate refuse to consider the current
nominee to fill the vacant position
on the U.S. Supreme Court.
I wonder, is this civil disobedience? Certainly not! There is no
law that Senators must do this, but
it is written in the Constitution of
the United States of America that
the Senate shall advise and consent
on the appointee (Article II, Section 2). No footnotes give any reason for not carrying out this duty.
Is it dereliction of duty? That
seems clearly to be the case. What
would happen to an employee
who told his employer, Ill get

around to that in the future, when
the company has a new CEO? It
seems to me that you are telling
me that the Constitution does not
apply to you.
Is it obstruction of justice?
Obstruction of Justice is a criminal offense that involves interference, through words or actions,
with the proper operations of a
court or officers of the court. By
refusing to consider the present
nominee as well as 51 nominees
to lower courts, some members of
the Senate are clearly interfering
with the proper operation of the

federal courts, thus preventing the
courts from operating as the law
prescribes, thereby obstructing
justice.
I invite any Senator or any other citizen to explain to me how
Senators refusing to do their constitutional duty establishes justice,
ensures domestic tranquility and
promotes the general welfare, all
sought in our Constitutions preamble.

Yilek, whose own ancestors emigrated from the Norwegian mining
town of Rros and the mountain valleys of Nordland will discuss the
conditions that prompted thousands
to seek a new life in the U.S. The

It can be tempting to judge ourselves by how we respond to those who

treat us well. Its easy to be kind to those who are kind to us. But perhaps a more accurate moral assessment can be made by looking at how
we respond to those who treat us poorly. There are many ways in which
people can mistreat us, from lying to us, to insulting us, to ignoring us,
to stealing from us, and even to abusing us physically or emotionally.
How we respond to these insults is probably the best measure of our
character. How we behave in times of health and prosperity says very
little about us. How we behave in times of sickness and adversity speaks
volumes about our character. Courage stands out on the battlefield when
bullets are flying and not during target practice. So perhaps at the end of
each day we should reflect on how we treated those difficult co-workers
or clients, and how we dealt with the people we consider unworthy of our
kindness. Thank God for the opportunity to test your mettle by giving you
difficult people in your daily life. They truly are the least of your brothers.

Treats for the top guns
Girl Scouts donate cookies to

Madison-based 115th Fighter Wing
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Making sure the friendly skies over America stay that way make an
airman work up quite an appetite.
So to help provide some treats for local troops, Scouts from Stoughton
Girl Scout Troop 2057 collected 60 boxes of cookies over the past few
weeks to donate to the 115th Fighter Wing of the Wisconsin Air National
Guard on April 2. The unit is based at Truax Field in Madison.
One of the Scouts, Carly Haas, said the girls decided on the idea of the
cookie drive to thank people in the military for their service. Its part of
the Scouts Cookie Share program.
It was fun handing them out, and the soldiers really appreciated it, she
said,
According to the Badgerland Council Girl Scouts website, Cookie Share
is an opportunity for a customer to purchase cookies to be donated. A
customer pays for the cookies, which are then donated by the troop to an
organization of their choice.

SMALL MACHINE. BIG PRODUCTIVITY.

316GR, and 318G Skid Steers.
Its not the size of the machine in the work.
Its the size of the work in the machine. Which, by that

measure, makes the G-Series as big as they come.
And thats by design. More specifically, your design.
Skid steer owners and operators like you spent years,
side by side with John Deere engineers, to generate
bigger fuel capacities, bigger boom breakouts, bigger
serviceability, bigger durability even radial models
for working in low buildings and doorways. With all
that input, no wonder these small machines provide
maximum output. Learn more stop in or call today.

Barman dealt with environmental issues of removing
the gas tanks then dealing
with financing and developing a business plan.
The building at the corner of West Main and South
Monroe streets, across the
street from Kwik Trip, is
notable for its stone exterior. Portions of a long-closed
gas station name painted
on one side remain on the
brick above the stones.
We havent been able to
get all of that off so were
going to re-paint, Barman
said.
Barman lives near the
building at 603 W. Main

the vacant buildings woes.
Shes confident the art
store, called Deck the Season, will succeed.
Its going to be homemade folk-style art. Most of
art will be done by myself

art, too, said Barman. Im

Renovations remain to

She also has flooring to be
done.
Its looking really good
already, she said.
During renovations, Barman found no valuable
artifacts, only private written exchanges.

We found a few letters, she said. They were

Stoughton senior Adam Krumholz will join the UW-Madison football team this fall as a preferred walk-on. Krumholz started one year on varsity before being offered an
opportunity with the Badgers.
It all just clicked
After spectacular
comeback season,
Krumholz takes walk-on
offer from Badgers
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
There arent a lot of Division 1

football recruits around the country with only one-and-a-half years
of high school football experience,
but Stoughton senior wide receiver
Adam Krumholz is one of them.
Krumholz (6 feet, 3 inches, 179
pounds) accepted a preferred walkon spot to the University of Wisconsin-Madison earlier this month.
His family has had season tickets since he was little, Krumholz
said, so it was an easy choice to
accept the offer.
Growing up I thought it would
be really cool to play at Camp Randall, he said. (Wisconsin) was the
college to get into academically
and athletically. I always loved the
campus and atmosphere at (Wisconsin).
The comeback
A few years ago, it didnt look
like a spot at any level of college
sports may be a reality for Krumholz, who didnt play football his
sophomore or junior year.
He had played half his freshman
season before suffering a concussion getting ready for his sophomore season. Krumholz tried out
the summer of his sophomore year,
but decided he just didnt like it.
But when he got back on the field
this year, things just clicked, the
senior said. He amassed 803 yards
and 10 touchdowns on 42 receptions in eight games.
Krumholz credits a lot of his
success to track (one year of cross
country) and basketball for keeping him in shape and helping with
his athleticism during those two lost

years. He also pointed to natural
ability.
I was always good at football,
especially when I was younger. It
just comes kind of natural running routes and catching balls,
Krumholz said. I had a good senior
year of football, and the Badgers
got ahold of my highlight film on
Hudl.
Krumholz said he also talked to
South Dakota, Hawaii and Memphis, as well as several D2 and D3
schools.
My dad said he always wanted to go to every Big 10 school to

Liz Auby may be a collegiate womens hockey recruit

but she continued to show
shes not too bad with a bat in
her hands either last week.
The Colgate recruit cracked
a two-run double into the right
center field gap to help the
Vikings improve to 5-2 overall
(4-0 Badger South Conference) with a 3-0 shut out of
three-time defending champion Monroe.
It feels really great. I think
this is the best start weve had
to our season in a long time,
Auby said. Its good to be
getting wins and playing as a
team.
A scoreless game through
three-and-a-half innings, it
proved more than enough
run support for Stoughton
ace Holly Brickson, who was
locked in a pitching battle
with Monroes Natalie Dillon.
Both Brickson and Dillon
had 10 strikeouts.
Brickson scattered four
hits over seven innings with
a walk, while Dillon allowed
two earned runs on seven hits
and walked one in the loss.
Maddy Brickson led off the
bottom of the fourth with a
strikeout, but reached base as
the Monroe catcher dropped
the ball. The next pitch she
stole second and two outs later scored on a Samantha Tepp
double to left center.
Kayley Novotny doubled
up the third baseline and later
came around to score in the
bottom of the fifth, exchanging places with Auby.
Kayley (Novotny) got on
before me so I was just trying to keep it going, making
contact and getting on base,

The Stoughton High School boys golf

team shot a 303 Thursday to finish runner-up
in the Monona Grove invite at The Oaks Golf

Seniors Austin Kotlowski and Drew Bellefeuille both shot 74s (tied for fifth overall),
while senior Ian Sutton followed with a 77.
Junior David Graffin finished the scoring
with a 78, and senior Jack Buckles who had
his score thrown out shot an 80.
That was a fun day. The kids put it together and played to the potential we know they
could play at, head coach Dave Taebel said.
We played smart and executed some shots.
It was four strokes off our course record, so it
was a great day.

Marquette University won the meet with
a 299, while Waunakee finished third with a
309.
Matt Davidson (McFarland) and Harrison
Ott (Marquette) both finished with 72s to

The Stoughton High

School girls track and field
team had plenty to be excited about during Tuesdays
triple dual against Madison Edgewood and Fort
Atkinson at Stoughton High
School.
Not only did the 4x100,
4x200 and 4x800 relays
all win, but in an area that
hasnt brought a lot of
points, the discus throwers
also had a big meet.
Hannah Hobson (89 feet,
1 inch) and Natalie Zientek
(90-9) both picked up PRs in
the discus, and Kennedy Silbaugh finished third (93-4).
That is an area we need
to get better at, and they
improved today which is
great, head coach Erik benedict said.
The 4x100 (Maddie
Posick, Kendra Halverson,
Maren Gryttenholm, and
Aly Weum) won in 53.25

Ziemann also added a first
place in the triple jump (305 1/2), while Posick (13.28),
Gryttenholm (27.17) and
Lynch (52.11) all took runner-up in the 100 dash, 200

Stoughton traveled to Maple Bluff
Country Club on Monday for the Wisconsin PGA High School invite and
tied for 10th overall with a 339.
Besides learning about the Badger

South Conference with Madison Edgewood, Oregon, Milton, Monroe, Monona Grove and Fort Atkinson all at the
meet, there were also several sectional
teams that the Vikings could compare
themselves to.
We finished in the top half, and that
is a challenging course, Taebel said.
It is a good gauge to show where we
are at.
Sutton shot an 81 to lead the Vikings,
while Kotlowski finished with an 84.
Bellefeuille, Buckles and Graffin all
finished with 87s.
I know some of the guys want some
shots back, but it is a pretty tough
course at Maple Bluff, Taebel said.
Middletons Joey Levin was the
medalist with a 2-under 69. The Cardinals also won the team title with a 313.

Country Club on Tuesday for a Badger South Conference dual against the

Sutton (39), Graffin (40), Buckles (41) and Kotlowski (44) had their
scores count.
I was hoping to steal a victory on
the road in the Badger, which is always
challenging, Taebel said. We left
some strokes out there and had a lot of
kids with double and triple bogeys on
their card. We will continue to work on
getting away from those bigger numbers.

The Stoughton High

Auby said. The pitch was basically right down
the middle a little inside and I was able to pull
it.
Stoughton picked up two more hits but was
unable to score a run as Auby was thrown out at
home before Monroe pitcher got a strikeout and
line out to end the threat.
We definitely have a team-first attitude this
year, Auby said. Everyone supports each other.
We have a lot of energy and were just excited to
be here.
Madysn Robinson led off the sixth with a double, advanced to third on a wild pitch and came
home on Gabby Saunders RBI single into right
field to cap the scoring in the home half of the
sixth.
Trailing by three, the Cheesemakers (6-2, 1-1)
got a one-out single by Kaya Teasdale in the top
of the seventh only to see Vikings catcher Morgan Neuenfeld gun down her down trying to steal
second with a perfect throw to shortstop Maddy
Brickson covering the bag.
Although the Cheesemakers have won the last
three conference titles, the Vikings have always
played Monroe tough, splitting the series last season after losing a pair of one-run games back in
2014.
Monroe seems to always be at the top of the
standings, Stoughton head coach Kristin Siget
said. We always feel like we can play with them,
but this win was a big confidence boost.
Thursdays win was a big step toward the
teams goal of winning a conference title.
For sure, thats one of our goals, Auby said.
Coming into tonight we were both undefeated
in conference. This win is going to be a big deal

Krumholz: Joining SHS

alumnus Rosowski at UW
watch a football game. Now
this is his excuse, Krumholz
quipped.
Fortunate return
Much like his path to UW,
Krumholzs choice to return
to the gridiron as a senior was
a fortunate one. He can credit Vikings quarterback Jake
Kissling with helping him
return.
Jake told me there is a
kid we needed to get out for
football. I saw Adam play
basketball and high jump in
track my first year here and I
couldnt believe he didnt play
football, head coach Dan
Prahl said. I decided to reach
out to Adam because he could
help our team.
Prahl called Krumholz last
summer and invited him to a
7-on-7 tournament the team
was doing in Waunakee.
It was really fun, probably
one of my favorite football
memories. I got there, and it
just felt natural, Krumholz
said.
Another level
Prahl said the coaching
staff thought about ways to
get Krumholz the ball every

week, Adam is too good of a
player not to get his touches.
He is an impact player and we
gave him a chance and he took
advantage of it.
While he had a lot of success in the Badger South,
Krumholz knows its not
going to come so easy against
Big 10 defensive backs.
Theyre a lot stronger
and quicker than what Ive
played, he said. Its a whole
new level, and it will take a
few years to be at that level.
Most Badger freshman
typically redshirt, which is
what former SHS athlete and
Wisconsin punter PJ Rosowski did and what Krumholz
expects to do this fall.
I was working out with PJ
a few months ago, and he really gave me a new outlook on
what its going to be like and
the challenges, Krumholz
said.
First, he said, is making
sure the academics are in
order. And then its finding a
way to stand out.
Just getting better every
day is huge, he said. Once
you redshirt, youre facing the
varsity defense on the scout
team. You really have to make
an effort to get noticed.

ORDINANCE OF THE
COMMON COUNCIL
Amending section 26-43 of the City

of Stoughton Municipal Fire Prevention
and Protection Ordinance
Committee Action: Public Safety
Committee recommends approval 4-0.
Fiscal Impact: N/A

The Common Council of the City of
Stoughton do ordain as follows:
Sec. 26-43 Outdoor fired furnaces
prohibited.
a) Definition. Outdoor fired furnace means a fired furnace, stove or
boiler that is not located within a building
intended for habitation by humans or domestic animals.
b) Purpose. Outdoor fired furnaces
are designed to maintain fire over long
periods of time and are designed to
operate at low temperatures when not
heating. They frequently have a lower
chimney height than an indoor stove.
Restricted air-flow at low operating temperatures can cause smoldering which
results in excessive smoke. This smoke
can cause both acute and chronic health
problems if nearby residents are exposed in densely populated areas and
can be a nuisance to the public. The purpose of this ordinance is to protect the
public health and reduce the potential
public nuisance.
c) No person shall install, use or
maintain an outdoor fired furnace in the
city limits unless the burning is specifically permitted by this ordinance.
d) Enforcement. The building inspector fire marshal, or his or her designee, shall enforce this ordinance.
e) Any person who violates any provision of this ordinance shall be fined
according to section 1-3 of the Code including applicable court costs.
f) Exemptions. Notwithstanding subsection c) of this ordinance, outdoor fired
furnaces may be operated within the city
limits provided all of the following conditions apply:
1) The outdoor fired furnace was installed prior to the effective date of this
section, following the issuance of a valid
City of Stoughton building permit.
2) The only materials that may be
burned in the outdoor fired furnace
are clean wood, corn and wood pellets
pre-manufactured for the purpose of
burning in an outdoor fired furnace.
3) The outdoor fired furnaces chimney must extend at least twenty (20) feet
above ground level.
g) No outdoor fired furnaces allowed
under subsection f) of this ordinance
may be enlarged, extended, replaced, or
reestablished.
Secs. 26-44 - 26-70. Reserved
1.
This ordinance shall be in
full force and effect from and after its
date of publication.

The Common Council of the City
of Stoughton, Dane County, Wisconsin,
ordains as follows:
ARTICLE I. IN GENERAL
Sec. 30-1. Statutory authorization.
This ordinance is adopted pursuant
to the authorization in Wis. Stats., 62.23
and the requirements in Wis. Stats.,
87.30.
Sec. 30-2. Finding of fact.
Uncontrolled
development
and
use of the floodplains and rivers of this
municipality would impair the public
health, safety, convenience, general
welfare and tax base.
Sec. 30-3. Statement of purpose.
This ordinance is intended to
regulate floodplain development to:
(1) Protect life, health and property;
(2) Minimize expenditures of public
funds for flood control projects;
(3) Minimize rescue and relief
efforts undertaken at the expense of the
taxpayers;
(4) Minimize business interruptions
and other economic disruptions;
(5) Minimize damage to public
facilities in the floodplain;
(6) Minimize the occurrence of future
flood blight areas in the floodplain;
(7) Discourage the victimization of
unwary land and homebuyers;
(8) Prevent increases in flood
heights that could increase flood damage
and result in conflicts between property
owners; and
(9) Discourage development in a
floodplain if there is any practicable
alternative to locate the activity, use or
structure outside of the floodplain.
Sec. 30-4. Title.
This ordinance shall be known as
the Floodplain Zoning Ordinance for the
City of Stoughton, Wisconsin.
Sec. 30-5. General provisions.
(a) Areas to be regulated. This
ordinance regulates all areas that would
be covered by the regional flood or base
flood as shown on the Flood Insurance
Rate Map (FIRM) or other maps approved
by DNR. Base flood elevations are
derived from the flood profiles in the
flood insurance study (FIS) and are
shown as AE, A1-30, and AH Zones on
the FIRM. Other regulatory zones are
displayed as A and AO zones. Regional
flood elevations (RFE) may be derived
from other studies. If more than one
map or revision is referenced, the most
restrictive information shall apply.
(b) Official maps and revisions. The
boundaries of all floodplain districts
are designated as A, AE, AH, AO or A130 on the maps based on the Flood
Insurance Study (FIS) listed below. Any
change to the base flood elevations
(BFE) or any changes to the boundaries
of the floodplain or floodway in the
flood insurance study (FIS) or on the
flood insurance rate map (FIRM) must
be reviewed and approved by the DNR
and FEMA through the Letter of Map
Change process (See Article IX) before
it is effective. No changes to regional
flood elevations (RFEs) on non-FEMA
maps shall be effective until approved
by the DNR. These maps and revisions
are on file in the office of the Department
of Planning and Development, City
of Stoughton. If more than one map
or revision is referenced, the most
restrictive approved information shall

apply.
(1) Official maps: Based on flood
insurance study (FIS).

Approved by: The DNR.
(c) Establishment of floodplain
zoning districts. The regional floodplain
areas are divided into four districts as
follows:
(1) The floodway district (FW) is the
channel of a river or stream and those
portions of the floodplain adjoining the
channel required to carry the regional
floodwaters and are contained within AE
Zones as shown on the FIRM.
(2) The floodfringe district (FF) is
that portion of the floodplain between
the regional flood limits and the floodway
and displayed as AE Zones on the FIRM.
(3) The general floodplain district
(GFP) is those areas that may be covered
by floodwater during the regional flood
and does not have a BFE or floodway
boundary determined, including A, AH,
and AO zones on the FIRM.
(4) The flood storage district (FSD) is
that area of the floodplain where storage
of floodwaters is calculated to reduce the
regional flood discharge.
(d) Locating floodplain boundaries.
Discrepancies between boundaries on
the official floodplain zoning map and
actual field conditions shall be resolved
using the criteria in subsections (1) or (2)
below. If a significant difference exists,
the map shall be amended according
to Article IX Amendments. The zoning
administrator can rely on a boundary
derived from a profile elevation to grant
or deny a land use permit, whether or
not a map amendment is required. The
zoning administrator shall be responsible
for documenting actual pre-development
field conditions and the basis upon which
the district boundary was determined
and for initiating any map amendments
required under this section. Disputes
between the zoning administrator and an
applicant over the district boundary line
shall be settled according to section 3073(3) and the criteria in subsections (1)
and (2) below. Where the flood profiles
are based on established base flood
elevations from a FIRM, FEMA must
approve any map amendment or revision
pursuant to Article IX Amendments.
(1) If flood profiles exist, the map
scale and the profile elevations shall
determine the district boundary. The
regional or base flood elevations shall
govern if there are any discrepancies.
(2) Where flood profiles do not exist
for projects, the location of the boundary
shall be determined by the map scale.
(e) Removal of lands from floodplain.
Compliance with the provisions of
this ordinance shall not be grounds
for removing land from the floodplain
unless it is filled at least two feet above
the regional or base flood elevation,
the fill is contiguous to land outside
the floodplain, and the map is amended
pursuant to Article IX Amendments.
(f) Compliance. Any development
or use within the areas regulated by
this ordinance shall be in compliance
with the terms of this ordinance, and
other applicable local, state, and federal
regulations.
(g) Municipalities and state agencies
regulated. Unless specifically exempted
by law, all cities, villages, towns, and
counties are required to comply with
this ordinance and obtain all necessary
permits. State agencies are required to
comply if Wis. Stats., 13.48(13), applies.
The
construction,
reconstruction,
maintenance and repair of state
highways and bridges by the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation is exempt
when Wis. Stats., 30.2022, applies.
(h)
Abrogation
and
greater
restrictions.
(1) This ordinance supersedes all
the provisions of any municipal zoning
ordinance enacted under Wis. Stats.,
59.69, 59.692 or 59.694 for counties; Wis.
Stats., 62.23 for cities; or Wis. Stats.,
87.30, which relate to floodplains. If
another ordinance is more restrictive
than this ordinance, that ordinance shall
continue in full force and effect to the
extent of the greater restrictions, but not
otherwise.
(2) This ordinance is not intended
to repeal, abrogate or impair any
existing deed restrictions, covenants or
easements. If this ordinance imposes
greater restrictions, the provisions of
this ordinance shall prevail.
(i)
Interpretation.
In
their
interpretation and application, the
provisions of this ordinance are
the minimum requirements liberally
construed in favor of the governing body
and are not a limitation on or repeal
of any other powers granted by the
Wisconsin Statutes. If a provision of this
ordinance, required by ch. NR 116, Wis.
Adm. Code, is unclear, the provision shall
be interpreted in light of the standards
in effect on the date of the adoption of
this ordinance or in effect on the date of
the most recent text amendment to this
ordinance.
(j) Warning and disclaimer of liability.
The flood protection standards in this
ordinance are based on engineering
experience and research. Larger floods
may occur or the flood height may
be increased by manmade or natural
causes. This ordinance does not imply
or guarantee that non-floodplain areas
or permitted floodplain uses will be free
from flooding and flood damages. This
ordinance does not create liability on the
part of, or a cause of action against, the
municipality or any officer or employee
thereof for any flood damage that may
result from reliance on this ordinance.
(k)
Severability.
Should
any
portion of this ordinance be declared
unconstitutional or invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction, the remainder of
this ordinance shall not be affected.
(l) Annexed areas for cities and
villages. The Dane County floodplain
zoning provisions in effect on the date
of annexation shall remain in effect and

shall be enforced by the municipality for
all annexed areas until the municipality
adopts and enforces an ordinance
which meets the requirements of ch.
NR 116, Wis. Adm. Code and 44 CFR 5972, National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP). These annexed lands are
described on the municipalitys official
zoning map. County floodplain zoning
provisions are incorporated by reference
for the purpose of administering this
section and are on file in the office of the
municipal zoning administrator. All plats
or maps of annexation shall show the
regional flood elevation and the floodway
location.
(m)
General
development
standards. The community shall review
all permit applications to determine
whether proposed building sites will
be reasonably safe from flooding. If a
proposed building site is in a flood-prone
area, all new construction and substantial
improvements shall be designed and
anchored to prevent flotation, collapse,
or lateral movement of the structure
resulting from hydrodynamic and
hydrostatic loads; be constructed with
flood resistant materials; be constructed
to minimize flood damages and to ensure
that utility and mechanical equipment is
designed and/or located so as to prevent
water from entering or accumulating
within the equipment during conditions
of flooding.
Subdivisions shall be reviewed for
compliance with the above standards.
All subdivision proposals (including
manufactured home parks) shall include
regional flood elevation and floodway
data for any development that meets the
subdivision definition of this ordinance
and all other requirements in s. 30.71(b).
Adequate drainage shall be provided to
reduce exposure to flood hazards and
all public utilities and facilities, such as
sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems
are located and constructed to minimize
or eliminate flood damages.
Sec.
30-6.
Enforcement
and
penalties.
Any violation of the provisions
of this ordinance by any person shall
be unlawful and shall be referred
to the municipal attorney who shall
expeditiously
prosecute
all
such
violators. A violator shall, upon
conviction, forfeit to the municipality
a penalty per section 1-3, Municipal
Code, together with a taxable cost of
such action. Each day of continued
violation shall constitute a separate
offense. Every violation of this ordinance
is a public nuisance and the creation
may be enjoined and the maintenance
may be abated by action at suit of the
municipality, the state, or any citizen
thereof pursuant to Wis. Stats., 87.30,
which limits penalties to no more than
$50 per day per violation.

in reducing the regional flood discharge.
Floodway: The channel of a river
or stream and those portions of the
floodplain adjoining the channel required
to carry the regional flood discharge.
Freeboard: A safety factor expressed
in terms of a specified number of feet
above a calculated flood level. Freeboard
compensates for any factors that
cause flood heights greater than those
calculated, including ice jams, debris
accumulation, wave action, obstruction
of bridge openings and floodways, the
effects of watershed urbanization, loss of
flood storage areas due to development
and aggregation of the river or stream
bed.
Habitable structure: Any structure
or portion thereof used or designed for
human habitation.
Hearing notice: Publication or
posting meeting the requirements of
Ch. 985, Wis. Stats. For appeals, a Class
1 notice, published once at least one
week (seven days) before the hearing, is

inventory
of
historic
places
in
communities with historic preservation
programs that have been certified
either by an approved state program,
as determined by the Secretary of the
Interior; or by the Secretary of the Interior
in states without approved programs.
Increase in regional flood height:
A calculated upward rise in the regional
flood elevation, equal to or greater than
0.001 foot, based on a comparison
of existing conditions and proposed
conditions which is directly attributable
to development in the floodplain
but not attributable to manipulation
of mathematical variables such as
roughness factors, expansion and

either final site grading or the pouring of
concrete pads.
Mobile/Manufactured home park,
expansion to existing: The preparation
of additional sites by the construction
of facilities for servicing the lots on
which the manufactured homes are to
be affixed. This includes installation
of utilities, construction of streets and
either final site grading, or the pouring if

modification of the Duplicate Effective
Model or Corrected Effective Model to
reflect any man made modifications that
have occurred within the floodplain since
the date of the effective model but prior
to the construction of the project for
which the revision is being requested.
If no modification has occurred since
the date of the effective model, then
this model would be identical to the
Corrected Effective Model or Duplicate
Effective Model.

New construction: For floodplain
management
purposes,
new
construction means structures for which
the start of construction commenced on
or after the effective date of floodplain
zoning regulations adopted by this
community and includes any subsequent
improvements to such structures. For the

structure:
An
existing lawful structure or building
which is not in conformity with the
dimensional or structural requirements
of this ordinance for the area of the
floodplain which it occupies. (For
example, an existing residential structure
in the floodfringe district is a conforming
use. However, if the lowest floor is lower
than the flood protection elevation, the
structure is nonconforming.)
Nonconforming use: An existing
lawful use or accessory use of a
structure or building which is not in
conformity with the provisions of this
ordinance for the area of the floodplain

Obstruction
to
flow:
Any
development
which
blocks
the
conveyance of floodwaters such that
this development alone or together with
any future development will cause an
increase in regional flood height.

Legals continued from page 15

Official floodplain zoning map: That
map, adopted and made part of this
ordinance, as described in subsection
30-5(b), which has been approved by the
DNR and FEMA.
Open space use: Those uses having
a relatively low flood damage potential
and not involving structures.
Ordinary high-water mark: The point
on the bank or shore up to which the
presence and action of surface water is
so continuous as to leave a distinctive
mark such as by erosion, destruction
or prevention of terrestrial vegetation,
predominance of aquatic vegetation, or
other easily recognized characteristic.
Person: An individual, or group of
individuals, corporation, partnership,
association, municipality or state agency.
Private sewage system: A sewage
treatment and disposal system serving
one structure with a septic tank and
soil absorption field located on the
same parcel as the structure. It also
means an alternative sewage system
approved by the Department of Safety
and Professional Services, including
a substitute for the septic tank or soil
absorption field, a holding tank, a system
serving more than one structure or a
system located on a different parcel than
the structure.
Public utilities: Those utilities using
underground or overhead transmission
lines such as electric, telephone and
telegraph, and distribution and collection
systems such as water, sanitary sewer
and storm sewer.
Reasonably safe from flooding:
Means base flood waters will not
inundate the land or damage structures
to be removed from the floodplain and
that any subsurface waters related to the
base flood will not damage existing or
proposed buildings.
Regional flood: A flood determined
to be representative of large floods
known to have occurred in Wisconsin. A
regional flood is a flood with a one percent
chance of being equaled or exceeded in
any given year, and if depicted on the
FIRM, the RFE is equivalent to the BFE.
Start of construction: The date the
building permit was issued, provided
the actual start of construction, repair,
reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition,
placement, or other improvement was
within 180 days of the permit date.
The actual start means either the first
placement of permanent construction
on a site, such as the pouring of slab
or footings, the installation of piles,
the construction of columns, or any
work beyond initial excavation, or the
placement of a manufactured home on
a foundation. Permanent construction
does not include land preparation, such
as clearing, grading and filling, nor
does it include the installation of streets
and/or walkways, nor does it include
excavation for a basement, footings,
piers or foundations or the erection of
temporary forms, nor does it include the
installation on the property of accessory
buildings, such as garages or sheds not
occupied as dwelling units or not part of
the main structure. For an alteration, the
actual start of construction means the
first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor
or other structural part of a building,
whether or not that alteration affects the
external dimensions of the building.
Structure: Any manmade object
with form, shape and utility, either
permanently or temporarily attached
to, placed upon or set into the ground,
stream bed or lake bed, including, but not
limited to, roofed and walled buildings,
gas or liquid storage tanks, bridges,
dams and culverts.
Subdivision: Has the meaning given
in 236.02(12), Wis. Stats.

the cost of restoring the structure to its
pre-damaged condition would equal
or exceed 50 percent of the equalized
assessed value of the structure before
the damage occurred.
Substantial
improvement:
Any
repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation,
addition or improvement of a building
or structure, the cost of which equals
or exceeds 50 percent of the equalized
assessed value of the structure before
the improvement or repair is started. If
the structure has sustained substantial
damage, any repairs are considered
substantial improvement regardless of
the work preformed. The term does not,
however, include either any project for
the improvement of a building required
to correct existing health, sanitary or
safety code violations identified by
the building official and that are the
minimum necessary to assure safe living
conditions; or any alteration of a historic
structure provided that the alteration will
not preclude the structures continued
designation as a historic structure.
Unnecessary
hardship:
Where
special conditions affecting a particular
property, which were not self-created,
have made strict conformity with
restrictions governing areas, setbacks,
frontage, height or density unnecessarily
burdensome or unreasonable in light of
the purposes of the ordinance.
Variance: An authorization by
the board of adjustment/ appeals for
the construction or maintenance of a
building or structure in a manner which is
inconsistent with dimensional standards
(not uses) contained in the floodplain
zoning ordinance.
Violation:
The
failure
of
a
structure or other development to be
fully compliant with the floodplain
zoning ordinance. A structure or other
development without required permits,
lowest floor elevation documentation,
floodproofing certificates or required
floodway encroachment calculations is
presumed to be in violation until such
time as that documentation is provided.
Watershed: The entire region
contributing runoff or surface water to a
watercourse or body of water.
Water surface profile: A graphical
representation showing the elevation of
the water surface of a watercourse for
each position along a reach of river or
stream at a certain flood flow. A water
surface profile of the regional flood is
used in regulating floodplain areas.
Well: An excavation opening in the
ground made by digging, boring, drilling,
driving or other methods, to obtain
groundwater regardless of its intended
use.

ARTICLE VI. FLOOD STORAGE DISTRICT
Sec. 30-55. Flood Storage District
The flood storage district delineates

that portion of the floodplain where storage of floodwaters has been taken into
account and is relied upon to reduce the
regional flood discharge. The district protects the flood storage areas and assures
that any development in the storage areas will not decrease the effective flood
storage capacity which would cause
higher flood elevations.
The provisions of this section apply
to all areas within the flood storage district (FSD), as shown on the official floodplain zoning maps.
Any use or development which occurs in a flood storage district must meet
the applicable requirements in section
30-43.
Sec. 30-58. Standards for development in flood storage districts.
(a) Development in a flood storage
district shall not cause an increase equal
or greater than 0.001 of a foot in the
height of the regional flood.
(b) No development shall be allowed
which removes flood storage volume
unless an equal volume of storage as
defined by the pre-development ground
surface and the regional flood elevation
shall be provided in the immediate
area of the proposed development to
compensate for the volume of storage
which is lost, (compensatory storage).
Excavation below the groundwater table
is not considered to provide an equal
volume of storage.
(c)
If
compensatory
storage
cannot be provided, the area may not
be developed unless the entire area
zoned as flood storage district - on this
waterway - is rezoned to the floodfringe
district. This must include a revision
to the floodplain study and map done
for the waterway to revert to the higher
regional flood discharge calculated
without floodplain storage, as per Article
IX Amendments of this ordinance.
(d) No area may be removed from
the flood storage district unless it can
be shown that the area has been filled
to the flood protection elevation and is
contiguous to other lands lying outside
of the floodplain.

or additions to any nonconforming use or
structure and to the use of any structure
or premises which was lawful before
the passage of this ordinance or any
amendment thereto.
(b) The existing lawful use of a
structure or its accessory use which is
not in conformity with the provisions of
this ordinance may continue subject to
the following conditions:
(1) No modifications or additions
to a nonconforming use or structure
shall be permitted unless they comply
with this ordinance. The words
modification and addition include,
but are not limited to, any alteration,
addition, modification, structural repair,
rebuilding or replacement of any such
existing use, structure or accessory
structure or use. Maintenance is not
considered a modification this includes
painting, decorating, paneling and
other nonstructural components and
the maintenance, repair or replacement
of existing private sewage or water
supply systems or connections to public
utilities. Any costs associated with the
repair of a damaged structure are not
considered maintenance.

(1) Hydrology
a. The appropriate method shall
be based on the standards in ch. NR
116.07(3), Wis. Admin. Code, Hydrologic
Analysis: Determination of Regional
Flood Elevation Discharge.
(2) Hydraulic modeling
The regional flood elevation shall
116.07(3), Wis Admin. Code, Hydraulic
Flood Elevation and the following:
a. Determination of the required
limits of the hydraulic model shall be
based on detailed study information for
downstream structures (dam, bridge,
culvert) to determine adequate starting
WSEL for the study.
b. Channel sections must be
surveyed.
c. Minimum four foot contour data
in the overbanks shall be used for the
development of cross section overbank
and floodplain mapping.
d. A maximum distance of 500
feet between cross sections is allowed
in developed areas with additional
intermediate cross sections required
at transitions in channel bottom slope
including a survey of the channel at each
location.
e. The most current version of HEC_
RAS shall be used.
f. A survey of bridge and culvert
openings and the top of road is required
at each structure.
g. Additional cross sections are
required at the downstream and upstream
limits of the proposed development and
any necessary intermediate locations
based on the length of the reach if greater
than 500 feet.
h. Standard accepted engineering
practices shall be used when assigning
parameters for the base model such as
flow, Mannings N values, expansion and
contraction coefficients or effective flow
limits. The base model shall be calibrated
to past flooding data such as high water
marks to determine the reasonableness
of the model results. If no historical
data is available, adequate justification
shall be provided for any parameters
outside standard accepted engineering
practices.
i. The model must extend past the
upstream limit of the difference in the
existing and proposed flood profiles
in order to provide a tie-in to existing
studies. The height difference between
the proposed flood profile and the
existing study profiles shall be no more
than 0.00 feet.
(3) Mapping
A work map of the reach studied
shall be provided, showing all cross
section locations, floodway/floodplain
limits based on the best available
topographic data, geographic limits of
the proposed development and whether
the proposed development is located in
the floodway.
a. If the proposed development is
located outside of the floodway, then it
is determined to have no impact on the
regional flood elevation.
b. If any part of the proposed
development is in the floodway, it must
be added to the base model to show
the difference between existing and
proposed conditions. The study must
ensure that all coefficients remain the
same as in the existing model, unless
adequate justification based on standard
accepted engineering practices is
provided.
(b) Zone AE Floodplains
(1) Hydrology

change the existing study, the appropriate
method to be used shall be based on
ch. NR 116.07(3), Wis. Admin. Code,
Hydrologic Analysis: Determination of
Regional Flood Discharge.
(2) Hydraulic model
The regional flood elevation shall
116.07(4), Wis. Admin. Code, Hydraulic
Flood Elevation and the following:
a. Duplicate Effective Model
The effective model shall be reproduced to ensure correct transference of
the model data and to allow integration of
the revised data to provide a continuous
FIS model upstream and downstream of
the revised reach. If data from the effective model is available, models shall be
generated that duplicate the FIS profiles
and the elevations shown in the Floodway Data Table in the FIS report to within
0.1 foot.
b. Corrected Effective Model.
The Corrected Effective Model shall
not include any man-made physical
changes since the effective model date,
but shall import the model into the most
current version of HEC-RAS for DNR review.
c. Existing (Pre-Project Conditions)
Model.
The Existing Model shall be required
to support conclusions about the actual

impacts of the project associated with
the Revised (Post-Project) Model or to establish more up-to-date models on which
to base the Revised (Post-Project) Model.

Model.
The Revised (Post-Project Conditions) Model shall incorporate the Existing Model and any proposed changes to
the topography caused by the proposed
development. This model shall reflect
proposed conditions.
e. All changes to the Duplicate Effective Model and subsequent models must
be supported by certified topographic
information, bridge plans, construction
plans and survey notes.
f. Changes to the hydraulic models
shall be limited to the stream reach for
which the revision is being requested.
Cross sections upstream and downstream of the revised reach shall be
identical to those in the effective model
and result in water surface elevations
and topwidths computed by the revised
models matching those in the effective
models upstream and downstream of the
revised reach as required. The Effective
Model shall not be truncated.
(c3) Mapping.
Maps and associated engineering
data shall be submitted to the DNR for
review which meet the following conditions:
a. Consistency between the revised
hydraulic models, the revised floodplain
and floodway delineations, the revised
flood profiles, topographic work map,
annotated FIRMs and/or Flood Boundary
Floodway Maps (FBFMs), construction
plans, bridge plans.
b. Certified topographic map of suitable scale, contour interval, and a planimetric map showing the applicable items.
If a digital version of the map is available,
it may be submitted in order that the
FIRM may be more easily revised.
c. Annotated FIRM panel showing
the revised 1% and 0.2% annual chance
floodplains and floodway boundaries.
d. If an annotated FIRM and/or FBFM
and digital mapping data (GIS or CADD)

KPW: Amendments aimed to

ensure better highway access
Phase 2
Among the five who did

not want to postpone were
Ron Christianson and Sonny
Swangstu, who were making their final appearance
as alders. Their successors
were to be sworn in just
before the COW meeting
and have shown less enthusiasm for Kettle Park West,
as well as the request for
tax-increment financing the
city is expected to get from
it.
Before the vote to refer
t h e r e s o l u t i o n f o r f u rther discussion, the council defeated two attempts
to amend it for approval.
Both involved assurances that there will be a second access point from
Hwy. 138, something that
remains questionable.
Swadley wanted to require
the developer to provide a
written agreement with the
state Department of Transportation that it would allow
a second access point before
the city would approve a
final plat. He also suggested forming a committee to
work with the DOT toward
that approval.
Swadley contended the
plat does not conform to the
citys comprehensive plan,

and that in order to do so,
a second access point on
Hwy. 138 would be necessary.
Lawrence argued that
while that access point is
something everyone would
want and support, it should
not be a requirement tied to
plat approval.
Truehl also spoke strongly
in favor of passing the plat
as presented, noting many
changes the developer had
made to suite the Planning
Commission and council.
Hirsch moved to refer the
matter to a Committee of the
Whole, Selsor seconded.
