Employees of Ososo village will study how the development of Wolfs Crossing Corridor is moving beyond the village as part of the comprehensive plan of 2015.
During the 6 February committee of the entire meeting, the village trustees approved such a study. Rod Zenner, director of Oswageo Development Services, told the trustee that employees could analyze the corridor based on the current 2015 plan.
“The result will be a specific ‘scorecard’ for development with Wolf crossing that would identify land use and density for development with the corridor,” he said. “Using the analysis of the 2015 plan, scorecard may identify the total base for the types of development. [number of residential units, types of units] This scheme recognizes for the area. ,
Zenner said that as the development proposals are brought to the village for review, their qualifications will be compared to the “scorecard” to determine that the proposed development is appropriate.
The village’s comprehensive plan of 2015 has identified the area north and south of Wolf as a medium density residential district.
“In the scheme, the identity of the region is the density of 2-3 units per acre,” Zenner said. “It corresponds to the density of the village as a whole.”
Recent housing development in the Wolfs crossing sector includes Piper Glenn, Avanatra, Diamond Point, Hudson Point and Prateek and the most recently Sonoma Trails and Drake Property.
Currently there are about 89 residential subdivisions in the village.
“Some of these subdivisions are high density, some are low density,” Zenner said. “Overall, we see the village as a whole, with 2.55 units per acre.
As Zenner said, the comprehensive plan of 2015 states that development with Wolf Crossing should continue with the target density of this development pattern and 2-3 units per acre.
He said, “This will allow for additional accommodation options of Townhom, Multi-Family and Single Family, until the density for District 2 lies in 2-3 units per acre,” he said.
With the scorecard proposal, the trustees performed Mulang on two other options during the meeting, which includes updating the 2015 plan and operating a corridor scheme for the Wolf crossing sector.
Ryan Cofman, president of Ososo Village, said that at least, the village needs to do a corridor scheme.
“We need a vision and a plan that we see with Wolf Crossing,” he said. “We need a plan that we can tell to the residents what we are especially with Wolf Crossing.”
Village Administrator Dan Di Santo said that there has always been a debate between board trustees as to what density is suitable for the Wolf Crossing area.
“The purpose of this discussion is that we want a land use plan for Wolf crossing,” Di Santo said.
Trustee Tom Guest said that discussion about what kind of accommodation is appropriate, only the Wolf crossing should not be the center.
He said, “We should look at this subject in the whole village.”
Cofman said that the discussion about development with Wolf Crossing is not just about housing.
“We need to be able to clear our inhabitants out and clear what it is for what we look for the future of that corridor,” he said.
Updating the comprehensive plan of 2015 will cost around $ 150,000 and it will take one to two years to complete. Zenner said that planning a corridor would cost around $ 75,000 and it would take about a year to do so.
Di Santo said that he is planning to bring update costs to the future budget workshop to help the trustees take decisions.
“This is actually a budgetary question at this point,” he said.
