WINDSOR TOWN BOARD - 2/5/98 • Individual and contiguous projects involving duplexes and multi-unit buildings should not exceed 5 acres in total aggregate area without being interspersed with an equal area of single family detached housing or neighborhood commercial or institutional uses or public open spaces. • Maximum overall mix of housing types should not exceed the percentages of single family detached, duplexes, and multi-unit buildings that presently exist. Mr. Ladopulos indicated that Dane County allows 14 to 16 units per acre. The town of Windsor allows 12.5 units per acre and has been approving between 8 and 12.5 units per acre. This project is 10 units per acre. Conrad Hendrickson , 6551 Lake Road, was troubled by the density levels. A density level of between 8 and 14 units per acre has been determined for the area where this project is being proposed. Mr. Hendrickson feels that this density is too high. His interpretation of the Windsor Comprehensive Plan is that a mix is required. Chairperson Harvey responded that diversity does not need to be satisfied within one project, but must be balanced within the town. Mr. Hendrickson wondered how many apartment projects could the town absorb; he felt it was getting out of control.

Larry Kampe offered that Mr. Hendrickson spoke well and that the Board should take note of the applause and that the audience is solidly behind what was said. Viv Hamlie, 6530 Linden, seconded what was said by Mr. Kampe and Mr. Hendrickson. In response to Supervisor Wipperfurth's question regarding apartments vs. condos, Mr. Ladopulos indicated that the buildings would initially be constructed as apartments in order to obtain financing and then sold as condos. There will be a staff maintenance person and an in-house manager 24 hours a day. Supervisor Stravinski indicated he had reviewed and brought with him prior Town Board Minutes of July 8, 1996, in which the Board discussed the Tiziani project,which was approved by the Town Board. Density, traffic, impact on the school system, and drainage were four major problems addressed. Density of the Tiziani project was 5.5 units per acre. The proposed development is three times the size of the Tiziani project. Certain criteria must be met. Supervisor Stravinski feels this -5-
