COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFORMATION

The City of Lake Mills Comprehensive Plan (2008) noted that the City had extraterritorial zoning of the Gundlach site as “Planned Business” and recommended that upon annexation the area is appropriate for “Planned Business” use. The Plan Commission is reviewing the change in zoning from PB – Planned Business District (ETZ) to PB – Planned Business District and will make a recommendation to the Council. The Comprehensive Plan also states that the City will direct intensive commercial and industrial uses to locations near existing and planned arterial roads such as the Interstate Highway 94 corridor, the STH 89 corridor north of Interstate Highway 94, Tyranena Road, and CP Avenue; allow new uses in this future land use category as the City provides appropriate sites for additional commercial and industrial development near Interstate 94 and other major transportation corridors that maximize the benefit of the City’s location within the region and minimize the impact of traffic and other externalities on residential and natural resource areas of the community in accordance with recommendations of this Plan

The Comprehensive Plan identifies three primary areas for economic development and the I-94/STH 89 Interchange is one of the areas. This large area includes much of the land between Tyranena Road and Interstate 94, and some land south of Tyranena Road. The property includes existing commercial uses, redevelopment sites, undeveloped parcels, and residential areas that will transition to commercial use.

The property has municipal sewer and water service available.  The property is also within the City’s Urban Service Area, meaning that all development is eligible to receive the full range of services provided by the City.
