City survey

Before the Middleton City Councilgave the final stamp of approval to theplan, the Middleton Plan Commissionmade a recommendation to approve theTIF agreement with developer JacobKlein for $2,100,000 to build a 95 unit,four story apartment building at the lo-cation of the former Bowling Greenbowling alley on Lisa Lane.

Kleins building would be mixed in-come workforce housing with a densityof 38 units per acre. Eighty percent or76 of the units would be income re-stricted to low-moderate income indi-viduals, while 25 percent would betargeted for veterans or disabled peo-ple, and 20 percent would be marketrate.

The proposal is eligible for TIFfunds since the site sits it the citys TIFdistrict #5. Though a 95 unit apartmentbuilding may seem a bit out of place atthe location, Klein and city officials areaware that the area will change dramat-ically over the next couple decadeswith the coming Meriter Medical cam-pus. The city also has a shortage oflow-income housing to meet demand

in the county according to a recentcounty report titled the Dane CountyHousing Needs Assessment.

In the agreement it is written that thedeveloper shall rent or reserve for rentno fewer than 76 units to individuals orfamilies earning no more than 60% ofthe area median income as calculatedby the United States Department ofHousing and Urban Development.

Alder Hans Hilbert asked Klein whyonly 80 percent of the units would bedesignated for low-income housing.

Why not 100 percent? Hilbertasked. Since we are investing publicTIF dollars shouldnt we make that apriority?

Abby Attoun, assistant director ofcommunity development, noted thecitys housing task force has empha-sized that it is preferential to mixed in-come housing rather than strictlylow-income.

Klein answered simply that the

WHEDA credits he is applying forhave a cap for number of units per lo-cation. He said beyond the 76 units hewould not get any more tax credits.

Hilbert also asked why there waslanguage in the agreement that finedthe developer $185 a month for unitsthat were not rented to the targeted in-come level. He asked if that could beused to allow anyone to live there ifthey paid that much more every month.

Klein said he the citys fines wouldbe the least of his worries if he didnthave someone at the appropriate in-come level.

The $185 fine that you guys areproposing is a drop in the bucket com-pared to what penalties I would getwith an 88-23 notice from the IRS andlosing the credits on that unit, Kleinresponded. Thats the biggest risk forme, even if they are fraudulent on theirapplication I am still on the hook forthat. Say someone lived here for five

years and the IRS had to reclaim thecredits for the unit. That would beabout $50,000.

The motion to recommend approvalpassed the plan commission with onlyHilbert opposed.

Council approves $2.1 million TIF for workforce housingCCITYITY GGOVERNMENTOVERNMENT

The Middleton Common Council-last week approved a $2.1 million taxincrement financing (TIF) agreementwith developer Jacob Klein for theplanned Meadow Ridge apartmentbuilding. Meadow Ridge will be a 95unit apartment designated for work-force housing on Lisa Lane just west ofParmenter Ave.

With the tax credits Klein has ap-plied for, his building is required to bemixed income workforce housing with80 percent (76) of the units income re-stricted to low to moderate income in-dividuals or families, 20 percent atmarket rate, and 25 percent of all unitstargeted specifically to veterans or dis-abled people.

The project is eligible for TIF fundsas the site lies within the citys TIF dis-trict #5. Despite being the first andonly development of its kind in the cor-ridor, Klein and city officials are awarethat the area will change dramaticallyover the next couple decades with themulti-phase Meriter medical campusdevelopment scheduled to begin con-struction next year. The city also has ashortage of low-income housing tomeet demand in the county accordingto a recent county report titled the DaneCounty Housing Needs Assessment.

Though all the city alders were sup-portive of the project, there were someconcerns about the amount of the TIFrequest.

How did we arrive at $2.1 mil-lion? asked Alder Gurdip Brar.

Originally the request was for$2.375 [million] which was about 80percent of the gap in the deal, becausethis is an affordable housing unit andIve got 25 percent of the units setaside at 30 percent of the area medianincome, Klein responded. In the re-maining life of the TIF district themaximum amount we could supportwas the $2.1 million, so I lowered itfrom $2.375 to $2.1 million.

Brar asked Klein why he couldntreduce his request even further to ac-commodate the city.

Ive deferred the maximum amountof my developer fee that I can deferand still have a project that underwritesto the tax credit investor, Klein said.

Alder Hans Hilbert questionedwhether the project was the best use ofTIF funds.

There is a lot of fuzziness with thisproposal, Hilbert stated. By nomeans do I think it is a bad proposal ora bad development, but I do questionthe amount of support that is beingasked.

Hilbert acknowledged that the cityfinance director John Lehman demon-strated how over time and through eco-nomic development the city will beable to make back the TIF funding withthe tax increment generated, but stillwasnt pleased with the agreement.

For these dollar amounts, I wouldlike to see us making infrastructure im-provements that benefit all the proper-ties in the area, not just createsomething that may be a catalyst for fu-ture developments, Hilbert stated.

Hilbert added that he foresaw stormwater management becoming an issuein the future in the area surrounding the

apartment.I will grant that this is a riskier

project than many that we have in theTIF district, noted city administratorMike Davis. Number one, it is a pio-neering project, it will be the first newdevelopment in an area we have tar-geted as blight for a redevelopment. Itis also a bit of a risk for the developerbecause there is no support infrastruc-ture for this kind of development cur-rently.

Davis added that he supports thecitys TIF contribution because of theneed for workforce housing and theapartments proximity to the coming

Meriter medical campus.Alder Howard Teal asked city plan-

ning director Eileen Kelley if the de-velopment would enhance the propertyvalues in the adjacent areas.

In the long run what weve foundwith projects of this nature, althoughwe havent been fortunate enough inthe past to have one that has as muchworkforce housing, is it removes theblight and it starts the trend toward re-development and everyones propertyvalues go up, Kelley said.

A motion to approve the requestpassed with all alders voting in favorand only Hilbert opposed.

Farming was a hard way to make aliving, recalls Sally Murphy, thinkingback to the year 1992. Thats when sheand her husband, Tom, first decided tobegin selling their products at farmersmarkets.

We decided to look into the DaneCounty Farmers Market, she explains.The market manager told us that,being we milked cows, we could bringcheese curds to the market. We joinedin the spring of 1993 and this is our23rd year at [that] market.

By 1999, the Murphy family wasbusy building a bakery on their farm inSoldiers Grove, allowing them to sell aunique combination of homemadeproducts at multiple markets.

Even before that, in 1995, the Mur-phy clan heard that a little farmers mar-ket in Middleton was looking formanager.

We applied for the job and were ac-cepted, she says. It turned out to bea great market but in the beginning itwas really slow with sometimes onlythree venders coming to sell.

The weekly Middleton FarmersMarket at Greenway Station todaybarely resembles those early iterations.This years market, for example, in-cludes 19 vendors, including five thatare coming to Middleton for the firsttime.

That makes Murphy Farms some-thing of a farmers market founding fa-ther here in Dane County. These days,it is often a new generation that workstheir Greenway Station tent.

As always, the library wouldlike to thank the Friends of theMiddleton Public Library forgenerously funding this pro-gram.

Rep. Dianne Hesselbeins bill toissue wild turkey hunting licenses toresident disabled veterans and PurpleHeart recipients advanced last weekwith a unanimous, bipartisan commit-tee vote in committee.

The Assembly Committee on Natu-

ral Resources andSporting Heritageapproved AB 187in executive sessionand sent it to theRules Committeeto be scheduled for

floor action.The bill would allow Wisconsin res-

ident veterans with a 50 percent dis-ability or greater to skip the annuallotteries for the spring and fall hunts,and receive licenses upon application,with their choice of time and zone. Dis-

abled hunters, who usually hunt insmall groups, reported difficulties or-ganizing their hunts under the lotterysystem.

The bill also covers both in-state andout-of-state recipients of the PurpleHeart Medal. Were making hunting

easier for a tiny fraction of the morethan 200,000 turkey hunters who par-ticipate, said Hesselbein (D-Middle-ton). It is a small gesture of thanks fortheir sacrifice.

The wild turkey population hassurged in Wisconsin since the bird wasre-introduced in 1976. It is a Wiscon-sin wildlife management successstory, Hesselbein said.

son and daughter-in-law are selling atthe market for us, she says. Theyhave some new items like beef sticksand jerky, salsa, and garlic dip andsalsa dip. They also sell our handrolled butter and maple butter madefrom our own maple syrup.

We sell cheese curds, cottagecheese cookies, donuts, assorted barsand lots of little breads like banana,pumpkin, apple, carrot, lemon poppyseed and many more, she adds.

Regardless of which generation isthere, the personal interaction affordedby local markets is the Murphy fam-ilys favorite component of the job.

It is our favorite part of being amarket vendor, she says. We have de-veloped some great friendships with somany people. We always look forwardto seeing everyone each week.

Back home on the farm, the days arelong but rewarding.

Well, I am usually up by at least4a.m.to start my day in the bakery, saysSally. Tom [her husband] starts hisday at5:30 a.m. - milking cows, doingchores, plus taking care of all the cropswe plant and our 80 head of beefcows.

Believe [me] when I say they are alllong days, she continues. But we re-ally enjoy what we do.

They say they are able to live the lifethey love in large part thanks to the op-portunities farmers markets provide.

[T]hanks to all of theses great farm-ers markets for helping us save oursixth generation farm, she says. Wecould not have kept our whole 450acres without the income we receivedfrom the markets.

Wheel of Fortune and the new Pitchingfor Mustard. A rock-climbing wall willtest the mettle of all who aspire to newheights.

Representatives of several mustardmakers will be on hand to sample someof the worlds most distinctive mus-tards. The always popular POUPON UAccordion Band will kick off the daysactivities and local favorites The RedHot Horn Dawgs and the Evan RileyBand will provide top-notch musicalentertainment.

Major Museum sponsors Frenchsand Grey Poupon, along with dozensof other mustard companies and mus-tard fans, have all contributed to makethis years National Mustard Day oneof the countrys most important foodfestivals. Grey Poupon will be sam-pling a new recipe idea, a Virgin Mus-tard Bloody Mary, along with theirdifferent flavors. The lovable Frenchsmascot will delight children of all ageswith her antics. Frenchs famous mus-tards, including their new BBQ, Spicy,and Sweet varietals, will be availablefor topping hot dogs and soft hot pret-zels.

The Roth Cheese Food Truck fromMonroe, WI, will serve up grilledcheese sandwiches (with mustard, ofcourse). Culvers, headquartered innearby Prairie du Sac, WI, has createda fresh frozen Honey Mustard Custard,

available exclusively at the MustardMuseum and only on National MustardDay.

This years mustardalicious cre-ation will be another taste sensation,said Patti Levenson, aka Mrs. Mustard.

The National Mustard Museumopened to the public in 1992 but cele-brated its first National Mustard Day in1991 with only a small gathering offriends in the curators back yard. It hasgrown to a major festival knownaround the world for its surreal dedica-tion to a condiment that millions maytake for granted though not the mus-tard fanatics at the Mustard Museum.

The National Mustard Museumholds the worlds largest collection ofmustards (more than 5,800) and mus-tard memorabilia.

Founder and curator Barry Levensonreminds food lovers that mustard is notonly a versatile condiment but ahealthy one, too: With no more than10 calories per serving and no fat orcholesterol, it really is the King ofCondiments.

Levenson notes that Shakespearementions mustard in four of his plays.Neither ketchup nor mayonnaise evencome close to such literary notoriety,he adds.

With the help of Confidential Condi-ment Counselors, visitors can taste

more than 450 different mustards, onNational Mustard Day and every day,in the Museum gift shop.

Information about National MustardDay and the National Mustard Mu-seum is available on the Museums web

site at www.mustardmuseum.com.Information about LOV Dane can be

Wisconsins 1,255 town govern-ments are more numerous than anyother type of government in the stateand serve close to one-third of thestates 5.7 million residents. But, theyoften go unnoticed, even though thetown meeting is one of the few remain-ing examples of direct democracy in

the U.S. Towns also tend to provide fewer

services than other municipalities and,as a result, town finances differ fromthose of cities and villages. A new re-port from Wisconsin Taxpayers Al-liance (WISTAX), How Do TownsMeasure Up: A Closer Look At Town

Finance takes a closer look at oft-ig-nored Wisconsin towns. Now in its84th year, WISTAX is a nonpartisanorganization devoted to public policyresearch and citizen education.

Another unusual feature of towns isthe limited services they provide andfund. Towns spent $790.6 million fromgeneral funds in 2013, or $479 percapita. Capital expenditures (e.g. build-ing projects) of $80 million and debtservice ($67 million) aside, that left$643.5 million, or $390 per capita, topay for basic services. By comparisonvillages spent $1,204 in general fundsin 2013, or $715 when capital and debtservice expenditures were excluded.

Cities spent the most, at $1,604 percapita; $979 without capital and debt.

A significant reason for the differ-ence between the finances of townsand other types of municipalities is thatmost towns do not have police or fi redepartments. Most rely on the countysheriffs office for police services. Forfire protection, some are part of jointdepartments with neighboring towns,villages, or cities, while others contract

and sanitary sewer utilities to the Com-munity of Bishops Bay. The plannedextension of these utilities would facil-itate long-term growth, not only for theCommunity of Bishops Bay, but also

for the citys planned northern area.The Common Council conceptually

has approved establishing this UtilityDistrict in the undeveloped city portionin the Community of Bishops Bay, and

the property owners within the districtwould annually pay special taxes tocover the citys borrowing costs forconstruction of the water and sewerutility extensions. The citys loan prin-cipal would be paid down as final platsare approved for development withinthe utility district.

Under consideration is the extensionof utilities to better facilitate the citys

fgrowth area in addition to the Com-munity of Bishops Bay.

The city had considered a less ex-pensive option that would have placedwater and sanitary sewer utilities in thePheasant Branch Conservancy but de-termined that the long-term planningbenefits of the northern route and pastconcerns over utilities in the conser-vancy outweighed any fiscal benefits

from the less expensive option. As other properties develop in the

citys planned northern growth area,they too would pay proportionately forthe overall costs of the utility exten-sion. The general taxpayers of the citywould not pay directly for this expense.

All lands in the proposed district arecurrently owned by Community ofBishops Bay, LLC.

Middletons Home Talent Leagueteam continued its march towardsgreatness on Sunday.

And in the process, the 29ers putLodis postseason hopes on life sup-port.

Middleton scored three runs in theeighth inning and rallied past Lodi, 6-5.

Middleton, champions of the North-ern Sections East Division, improvedto 13-2. Lodi slipped to 4-11.

Middleton travels to Sauk Prairie(14-1) Sunday at 1 p.m. in a game thatwill determine the No. 1 seed in theNorthern Section.

I feel very lucky to have ended upwith the win, said Middletons EricSimon, who handled managerial dutieswith skipper Brandon Hellenbrand outof town. If it wasnt for Lodis errors,they would have still been in the play-off hunt.

Middleton trailed, 5-3, heading tothe eighth inning when it struck for

three runs.Cole Cook led off the inning with a

single, A.J. Redders walked and DrewFarrell reached on an infield single toload the bases. Cook scored on apassed ball to make it 5-4.

Then with two outs, Luke Schaferhit a routine ground ball to third base-man Kyle Mack. Macks throw to firstwas short, though, and skipped awayfrom the first baseman allowing Red-ders and Zimmerman to score and pro-pel Middleton to a 6-5 lead.

Drew Farrell, who worked the final2 2/3 innings, then slammed the doorshut in the ninth and earned the win.Farrell struck out four and didnt allowa run.

Starter Jeff Schafer pitched 6 1/3 in-nings, allowed four runs, struck out six

and walked two.Schafer threw well enough to earn

the victory, Simon said. We just did-nt put up the runs against Lodis goodpitching.

Middleton grabbed a 2-0 lead in thethird inning when Zimmerman scored

on an error and Josh Hinsons RBI sin-gle to left plated Brandon Scheidler.

Lodi scored once in the fourth andtwice in the fifth to grab a 3-2 lead.Hinson then had an RBI sacrifice flythat scored Scheidler and tied thegame, 3-3.

Lodi struck for two in the seventhand surged ahead, 5-3. But Middletonsbig eighth inning helped it stay alivefor the No. 1 seed in the Northern Sec-tion.

Cook finished the day 2-for-4 andHinson had two RBI.

HHOMEOME TTALENTALENT BBASEBALLASEBALL

Another big win for Ashton

Middleton improves to stellar 13-2

CROSS PLAINS Offensive explo-sions are hard to come by so pitcherKevin Peternell made sure to make themost of the ample support his Ashtonteammates provided him Sundayafter-noon.

Shane Adler blasted a grand slam topower a 12-hit attack while Peternellscattered six hits in a complete-gameeffort as Ashton cruised to a 10-3 vic-tory over Cross Plains in a Home Tal-ent League Northern Section EasternDivision game.

Jackson (Keeler) and I talked afterthat inning about that, Peternell saidof a seven-run second-inning thatstaked Ashton to an early six-run lead.Just throw it over the plate and letthem do what they want with the ball.Just get them to hit ground balls, getouts, fly balls whatever it comes downto.

Keeler, a former three-year startingcatcher at Middleton High School whonow plays at UW-La Crosse, said theearly lead allowed Peternell to relaxand take control.

His slider was really working. Allof his pitches were working, Keelersaid of Peternell, who struck out three

and walked only one batter in a stellar99-pitch outing. He went to the slidera lot. We saw even during warmupsthat it was sharp. But his curve ball washis out pitch today.

The victory gave defending HTLchampion Ashton (9-6) a sweep of theseason series with Cross Plains (9-6)and put it in position to earn a higherseed in the playoffs.

Going into the playoffs every-bodys got to step up, second basemanNick Maier said of Ashton, whichplays at Mazomanie while CrossPlains hosts West Middleton toclose out the regular seasonon Sunday.

Were playing good ball, even lastweek against Middleton (a 6-0 loss) weplayed them tough.Thats what wevegot to do, get hot at the right time andsee what we can do.

Cross Plains starter Garrett Knudt-son retired Ashton in order in the firstinning before being staked to a 1-0 leadin the bottom of the frame.

Jeremy Lochner lined the first of histwo hits to right field, stole second,moved to third on a throwing error andscored when Will Doherty hit a sacri-fice fly to center field.

Ashton, though, provided all thesupport Peternell would need when itscored seven runs in the top of the sec-ond all after two outs.

We had to have the bottom of theorder start producing and they didtoday, Ashton manager Dave Adlersaid. Tanner (Meinholz) had three hitsand Nick (Maier) got on base fivetimes.

Derek Prochaska ripped a double toright-center field to open the second,moved to third on an infield out andscored when Meinholz lined a single toleft field to tie the game.

After Trevor Dresen followed with a

single to left, Knudtson issued consec-utive walks to Maier, Peternell andAaron Gowan to force in a pair of runswhich resulted in a pitching change.

However, Shane Adler crossed upthe strategy when he blasted a 1-1 pitchfrom reliever Shane Murphy over theleft-field fence to give Ashton a six-runcushion.

Adler said at first he thought CrossPlains left fielder Casey Lochner wasgoing to catch his long fly ball but was-nt surprised it ended up as a grandslam.

It was a fastball inside. I knew I hitit very well. I dialed it up, Adler said.It was a new pitcher so my approachwas a little different than the guys be-fore me.

Shanes been throwing well sowhen he throws you something goodyouve got to swing at it. You dontwant to have two strikes and be down0-2, 1-2 then youve got to be defen-sive. When youve got a 1-1 count youcan afford to be a little aggressive.

Murphy then silenced the Ashtonbats retiring 10 of the next 12 hitters.

But the damage had been done.Shane just turned on an inside

pitch. He told me during the game itwas three inches inside and he justmade a good swing and got the bataround. If he doesnt make that swing,its a completely different game, Je-remy Lochner said.

Peternell took advantage of the run-support to retire eight of the nine bat-ters he faced spanning the secondthrough fourth innings, including in-ducing Ken Allen who finished withtwo hits to bounce into a 4-3 doubleplay to end the fourth.

Hes been like that all year. Thegames weve lost havent been becauseof pitching but because of lack of hit-ting. Hes been great all year, TannerMeinholz said of Peternell.

But Cross Plains didnt go away,taking advantage of three Ashton errorsin the fifth inning to pull within 7-3.

Ryan Pulvermacher and Jared Haackreached base on back-to-back errors toopen the inning before Casey Lochnerbeat out a bunt single to load the baseswith no outs.

Pulvermacher then scored on a sac-rifice fly to left by Jordan Lueck, andHaack scored on Jeremy Lochnerstwo-out single to center field.

But on the play, Shane Adler threwout Casey Lochner at the plate to endthe inning and Cross Plains managedjust two baserunners the rest of theway.

We just couldnt shut them downoffensively, Cross Plains managerDave Sarbacker said of Ashton, whichgot hits from eight different starters.

They hit the ball where we werentand thats how you score a bunch ofruns. Just put the ball in play and takeadvantage of the walks.

Trevor Dresen and Maier drew a

pair of walks off reliever Austin Cookto open the eighth inning, Peternelladded an infield single and ShaneAdler was hit by a pitch with two outsto score Dresen to extend Ashtons leadto 8-3.

Tanner Meinholz added an RBI-sin-gle and Peternell capped the scoringwith a sacrifice fly to left field in theninth inning.

Maier, who finished with a single,double, two walks and a hit by pitch infive plate appearances, said it was amatter of some timely at-bats.

Thats when you need the clutchhits. When you get runners in scoringposition, one out, two outs, it doesntmatter. Youve got to get the hits, hesaid.

Peternell secured the victory by re-tiring 10 of the final 11 batters hefaced.

Hes a horse out there right now. Hewanted to keep going. He was throw-ing hard at the end, Dave Adler said.

Jeremy Lochner agreed.We know whats coming every

time. Weve seen him year after yearand game after game and he alwaysseems to stymie us for some reason,Lochner said.

Peternell admitted it was importantto finish the game with the loss of for-mer starting shortstop and closer GarretNovinski, who played his final game aweek ago before departing for Tucson,Arizona for a teaching job.

I felt good today. There was no wayI was coming out, said Peternell whoalso reached base twice and drove intwo runs as Ashtons lead-off hitter.Its always fun pitching here againstCP.
