Fiscal Note

There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the plan. However, implementing specific recommendations within the plan will have fiscal impacts in the future and will require Common Council approval at that time.

Title

SUBSTITUTE - Adopting the Spring Harbor Neighborhood Plan and recommendations contained therein as a supplement to the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan. 19th Ald. Dist.

Body

WHEREAS the City of Madison's Comprehensive Plan adopted January 17, 2006 (Substitute Ordinance No. 02207) recommends the adoption of neighborhood plans for established residential neighborhoods within the City; and

WHEREAS the Spring Harbor Neighborhood Plan follows the format of the adopted Comprehensive Plan and provides additional and detailed recommendations regarding the future of the neighborhood; and

WHEREAS the Spring Harbor Neighborhood Steering Committee (SHNSC) guided the preparation of the plan with input from the Spring Harbor Neighborhood Association as well as neighborhood residents, business community and other interested stakeholders; and

WHEREAS the SHNA prioritized the top eight overall plan recommendations, summarized in priority order. They are: 1) Support Dane County and City of Madison plans to reconstruct the University Avenue corridor from Allen Boulevard to Segoe Road; 2) Request the Plan Commission and Common Council to amend the City's Comprehensive Plan to reflect the recommendations in the Spring Harbor Neighborhood Plan in the designated redevelopment area surrounding Whitney Way; 3) Advocate to have future residential redevelopment be compatible with, and sensitive to, the natural character of the area; 4) Support the implementation of light rail or commuter rail service with a stop near Old Middleton Road/Whitney Way, which should not come in lieu of improvements to Madison Metro; 5) Improve or reduce stormwater runoff in general and at specific sites; 6) Fund and construct a new multi-use trail along the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad corridor beginning at the Blackhawk Trail and continuing into Middleton; 7) Work with the City to improve pedestrian safety in key areas of the neighborhood; and 8) Work with the City to identify potential landmarks within the neighborhood; and

WHEREAS as traffic improvement projects are developed for this neighborhood, City staff will work with the neighborhood to develop plans and specifications that address the desires of the neighborhood and that are consistent with adopted City criteria including the City's adopted Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation Plan and the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program; and

WHEREAS as opportunities for pedestrian/bicycle improvement projects are developed for this neighborhood, they should: 1) support the Long Range Plan for adding bike lanes on University Ave. 2) support bike lanes from Capital Avenue to the railroad bridge on Old Middleton Road. 3) upgrade the Indian Hills Park bike path. 4) Upgrade the University Avenue side path-Black Hawk Path to Spring Harbor Drive.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Common Council does hereby adopt the Spring Harbor Neighborhood Plan as a supplement to the City's Comprehensive Plan.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the changes to the Comprehensive Plan's Generalized Future Land Use Plan Map recommended in the Spring Harbor Neighborhood Plan be considered for adoption during the next annual Comprehensive Plan evaluation and amendment process; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the appropriate City agencies consider including the recommendations of the Spring Harbor Neighborhood Plan in future work plans and budgets in accordance with the priorities stated in the plan.
