Investigating history

SCOTT GIRARD

Larry Gundlach wasnt sure
what would happen when he
showed his New Century School
second- and third-graders a black-
and-white class photo from 1919
last September.
I just wanted to see what they
would notice about it, what ques-
tions they would have and if they
appeared interested in it, Gun-
dlach recalled. They were very
interested in it.
By the time school ended this
month, it had turned into a year-
long project that went far beyond
the origins of that photo from the
schools early days and allowed
students to investigate the history
of a 100-year-old building the
one they enter for school every
morning.
Gundlach and his 19 students
spent the year talking to students
from decades ago, building mod-
els, creating games and adding
context to what happened at the
same time their building, then
known as Verona Graded School,
was under construction.
Theres just a whole bunch
of things having centennials in
2017, he said.
That includes the state Capi-
tol building, Camp
Randall, Wisconsin Public Radio
and the United States entry into
World War I.

City of Verona

Council punts on axing house size limit

JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
A p r o p o s a l t o a l l ow
homeowners in the citys
smallest zoning district to
build on to their homes had
too many questions to get
the Common Councils sup-
port Monday.
The biggest was whether
city zoning laws can tru-
ly help promote affordable
housing, leading some to
question whether that dis-
trict should exist at all and
others to wonder whether
the maximum house size
should remain but have
exemptions for homeown-
ers that wouldnt apply to
developers.
As a result, alders asked
city staff to gather addi-
tional information so it can
discuss the idea with better
data.
Created 17 years ago
during a housing boom,
the Community Residential
(CR) designation allowed
homes in Verona to be built
on extra-small lots as
small as 6,000 square feet.
Previously, the minimum
lot size had been 8,000
square feet, in the Neigh-
borhood Residential (NR)
district.
While NR remains far
more common around the
Whats next
The Common Coun-
cil will reconsider the
change in zoning rules
at its next meeting or
whenever city staff have
gathered enough infor-
mation.
city, the CR designation
has been encouraged and
appears in pockets on the
periphery, as well as the
original CR neighborhood
Badger Prairie, between
the county park of the
same name and North Main
Street.
One unusual aspect of
the CR code is a maxi-
mum house size of 1,900
square feet of living area,
designed to ensure the city
continues to have starter
homes, as alders put it.
However, whether those
actually exist in signifi-
cant numbers in Verona is
a matter of some debate,
particularly during the cur-
rent housing shortage thats
driving up sale prices. City
planning director Adam
Sayres initial batch of data
showed average sale prices
of CR homes in one neigh-
borhood to be $257,000
nearly 20 percent low-
er than NR homes but still
not what some considered
affordable.
And because of the max-
imum home size, some
homeowners have discov-
ered they cant add on to
their homes. Developers in
recent years have often built
homes right to the maxi-
mum size because of mar-
ket conditions.
Ald. Brad Stiner (Dist. 3),
the only alder who was on
the council when the code
was created, said being
dictatorial about the mar-
ket has been a failure.
Our idea was really
good, our intent was really
good, but it didnt pan out
because (of) the market, he
said.
Alders asked Sayre how
often homeowners ask to
build past the limit (a
handful each year) and
what the average square
footage of a home is in
Verona, and they suggested
looking into a way to create
an exemption.
Were trying to solve
a problem of letting
( h o m e ow n e r s ) r e m o d e l
their home without letting
developers build as big a
house as possible, Ald.
Evan Touchett (D-4) said.
Alds. Luke Diaz (D-3)
and Jack Linder (D-2)
agreed with that concept,
with Linder proposing a
two-year moratorium on
any new home exceeding
the maximum square foot-
age, rather than simply
eliminating the maximum.
Ald. Mac McGilvray
(D-1) went the other way,
saying the city should
instead work with devel-
opers to encourage a vari-
ety of housing stock while
eliminating the CR zoning
altogether, something May-
or Jon Hochkammer had
agreed with during a similar
discussion at the Plan Com-
mission the week before.
Diaz added that one way
to address the issue is with
neighborhood planning,
by putting less of the larg-
er estate housing in the
Northwest Neighborhood
plan the city is working on.
I hate the idea of tell-
ing the property owner they
cant do what they want
with their house, he said.
It speaks to a need to
consider a wide variety of
stock.

City in brief
Bike shelter OKd
Alders approved with some reservations Monday a
plan to build a 20-stall bike rental shelter outside True
Studio, a bicycle exercise specialty gym still under con-
struction.
Some alders pointed out that a better location might
be near the bike shelter downtown, an idea that was
included in the initial presentation. City planning direc-
tor Adam Sayre noted that additional shelters are possi-
ble, but he said the current location is the initial home
base because it allows the company to do a better job
of maintenance as it launches a new operation.
The bikes and the operation would be similar to those
rented by BCycle in Madison, offering short-term rent-
als, except for now, theyd need to be returned to the
same location theyre rented from.
Joint planning rules
The Common Council approved the creation of a
Joint Planning Committee with the Town of Verona that
includes the town chair and mayor among its six mem-
bers. The group would be charged with recommending
lot splits to allow additional homes to be built in areas
where the city is not likely to expand in the near future.
Hwys. M and PD land
After a closed discussion, the council authorized staff
to execute offers on three remaining properties neces-
sary for the reconstruction of the County Hwys. M and
PD intersection, and if necessary, begin condemnation.
Public works director Theran Jacobson said the city
would prefer to avoid exercising eminent domain, but
the city must secure access to the properties in a com-
bination of right-of-way ownership and easement this
month to avoid jeopardizing federal grants.

Letters that urge readers to patronize specific businesses or spe-
cific religious faiths will not be printed, either. Thank-you

Rainey, a UW-Madison

ens hockey recruit who will
play at St. Cloud next fall,
played 18 games at first base
for the Wildcats. Geier also
collected 30 hits (25 singles,
four doubles and a triple) in
52 at-bats during the regular
season. She drove in 13 runs
and scored 15 more.

after taking down top-seeded
Middleton to win a regional title
last week.
That high came to an end
Thursday as No. 9 Verona fell 2-1
at No. 4 Oconomowoc in a WIAA
Division 1 sectional semifinal.
After falling behind 1-0 at
halftime, junior Chandler Bain-
bridge knotted the score at 1-1
with a goal in the 75th minute. It
was Veronas first shot all game.
But Oconomowoc, which ended
up making state for the first time
in school history, knocked in the
game-winner in the 87th minute
with a goal by Eleni Egelseer.
Coach Jen Faulkner could not

the payment of bills in the amount of
$1,156,440.86. Motion carried 8-0.
(2) Discussion and Possible Action
approved in 2007. Because
of that, another speaker
called the coming of Festi-
val a done deal, based on
what hed heard at the Plan
Commission meeting the
week before, though some
alders and the process
itself disagreed with that
assessment.
When the property got
that designation, it was at
a time when more than one
development had sought
unsuccessfully to get Mill-
ers to expand and move. At
least one developer noted
around the time that studies
had shown despite a strong
loyalty to Millers, there
was a large proportion of
spending on groceries in
stores outside the city, par-
ticularly larger ones.

Diaz, in fact, reported he
250 or more jobs, many of

exemptions, though he was
the only alder to say so. At
this point the first of three
steps in the planned-unit
development process

The next step, the gener-

key to gaining approval,

a substantially similar
development in the final
stage, the precise imple-

mendation and take action.
