Body
WHEREAS the Common Council adopted Ordinance 2091 on August 11, 1966 to establish the Official Map for the City of Madison for a part of the City of Madison located in the NE 1/4 of Section 26, T7N R8E to map various future streets/ highways, parkways, and greenways in the portion of the existing and future City generally bounded by Mineral Point Road on the north, the western edge of the West Towne Mall development on the west, the West Beltline Highway on the south, and S Gammon Road on the east; and
WHEREAS the Common Council adopted Ordinance 2091 on August 11, 1966 to establish the Official Map for a part of the City of Madison located in the NW 1/4 of Section 26, T7N R8E to map various future streets/ highways, parkways, and greenways in the portion of the existing and future City generally bounded by Mineral Point Road on the north, Commerce Drive on the west, Watts Road on the south, and the western edge of the West Towne Mall development on the east; and
WHEREAS the Odana Area Plan was adopted by the Common Council by Resolution 21-00655 (ID 66098) on September 21, 2021 as a supplement to the City of Madison Comprehensive Plan to guide future land uses, street networks, transit facilities, bike facilities, and open space investments within the planning area; and
WHEREAS the Odana Area Plan recommends that a network of streets be implemented to serve planned development in the planning area, including on the property commonly known as West Towne Mall as well as on surrounding properties. The future streets identified for official mapping include:
• An east-west extension of Zor Shrine Place from its current terminus across most of the West Towne properties south of the main mall building before turning north-south to parallel the eastern wall of the main mall building and S Gammon Road before ultimately connecting to Mineral Point Road; said reservation being 66 feet wide; and
• The extensions of Odana Road and Gammon Place to initially intersect the north-south segment of the above-mentioned “Zor Shrine” extension, said reservations being 80 and 66 feet, respectively; and
• The southern extension of S Westfield Road from Mineral Point Road to intersect the east-west segment of the above-mentioned “Zor Shrine” extension; said reservation being 66 feet wide; and
• A second north-south street to be located approximately 300 feet west of the above-mentioned extension of S Westfield Road between Mineral Point Road and the east-west segment of the above-mentioned “Zor Shrine” extension, said reservation being 66 feet; and
• The eastern extension of West Towne Way from its current terminus at the western edge of the properties commonly known as West Towne Mall to initially end east of the above-mentioned extension of S Westfield Road; and
• Three 66-foot wide reservation segments to begin the implementation of an east-west public street between D’Onofrio Drive and the western wall of the main mall building, which will eventually result in an east-west public street extending from the intersection of D’Onofrio Drive and Ganser Way to the intersection of S Gammon Road and Gammon Place.
WHEREAS the proposed amendments to the Official Map do not call for reservations to be made through existing buildings at this time;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the City Of Madison hereby amends the City of Madison Official Map to reserve lands for Proposed Streets and Highways under Section 16.25(6) of Madison General Ordinances and under Wis. Stats. ss. 62.23(6)(c), as shown on attached map Exhibit A and as legally described in attached Exhibit B.
BE IT RESOLVED that the Streets and Highways to be reserved with this amendment are consistent with the recommendations in the Odana Area Plan.
BE IT RESOLVED that notice of this amendment has been provided pursuant to the requirements under Wisconsin Statutes Sec. 62.23(6) and Section 16.25(6) of Madison General Ordinances.
