City of Stoughton
Officials question impact analysis

Report predicts 159 jobs, many below living wage
BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group
On the positive side, a WalMart Supercenter in the proposed

Kettle Park West development
would likely generate $12 million
annually in new business sales

and create 159 new jobs.
On the negative side, it would
likely draw spending from existing businesses in Stoughton,
particularly in such areas as groceries, hardware, electronics,
pharmacy and personal care products.

Those are some basic conclusions contained in a long-awaited
economic impact analysis of how
a new commercial center could
affect local business here.
The Common Council commissioned the study as required
in the citys so-called Big Box
ordinance. The study was conducted over a six-to-eight week

period this summer by Maxfield
Research Inc., based in Minneapolis.
The 84-page analysis focuses
on the potential impact to the
citys economy of the development of commercial space in the
Kettle Park West development.
The report studied only the first

phase, which would include eight
lots on about 35 acres.
Some alders and city residents have criticized the analysis as incomplete. Most dont
fault Maxfield Research, however. Instead, they blame KPW
developers for not providing

The inaugural Kiwanis Lets Fly A Kite event was held Saturday, Sept. 13 at
Sandhill Elementary School. About 30 kids, parents and grandparents and 20
volunteers from Kiwanis, Cummins and Key Club participated in the event.
Working with adult volunteers, the kids selected either a traditional Indian
paper kite or one of the more familiar styles. Volunteers helped the children
build their kite while teaching them about the physics of kite flight.
Above, Tim Smith helps his granddaughter, Camdyn, fly a kite in the beautiful, breezy weather.
While not as dire as

in the past few years,
Stoughtons city budget for next year is
still looking extremely
lean.
The citys cost for
services continues to
increase every year,
yet the amount the city
can increase its property tax levy is tied to
its net new construction.

Woman gets jail for felony OWI

An Edgerton woman will spend six months in jail for
driving while intoxicated in Stoughton in 2013.
Mackenzie M. Dauber, 23, was stopped by Stoughton
Police on East Main Street for driving without a front
license plate. Subsequent tests revealed she had a .06
blood-alcohol content, which is three times the allowable limit for repeat OWI offenders.
State statutes lower the acceptable blood-alcohol
limit for motorists from .08 to .02 following his or her
third OWI conviction.
Online court records show Dauber pleaded guilty to
her fourth OWI within five years, a felony, in June. She
was sentenced to six months in jail with work release
and will have her drivers license revoked for two
years.
A Stoughton man accused of his second cocaine possession charge had the case dropped by prosecutors
earlier this year.
Jason Cox, 42, was accused of cocaine possession
after police were called to his house for a domestic dispute in February.
Online court records show the charge was dismissed
in May before going to trial.
Court documents showed that the state believed they
could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Cox
knowingly possessed cocaine.

Knipfer allegedly sold

heroin to Dylan R. Nelson
on July 4, his 25th birthday,
according to a criminal complaint filed in Dane County
Circuit Court. Nelson had
been with family during the
day, but allegedly purchased
$40 worth of heroin in the
afternoon from Knipfer.
Nelson took the drug alone
and was found dead at his
grandmothers home. Police
later arrested Knipfer after
staking out the apartment
where the drug was purchased. Mayweathers was
arrested a few weeks later in
Madison.
According to the criminal
complaint, Nelson had been
celebrating his birthday with
family in Stoughton earlier
that day and headed to the
Stoughton Junior Fair with
his girlfriend and 6-year-old
son. Nelson stopped at an
apartment on Main Street
before continuing to the fair.
Around
6:30 or 7:30
p.m., Nelson left the
fair and told
his girlfriend
he had to
stop at his
grandmoth- Mayweathers
ers house
on Pleasant View Drive in
Dunkirk, according to the
complaint. Nelsons girlfriend later called Nelsons
grandmother and asked her
to check on him, and later
she came to the house and
found him unresponsive in
the basement, it said.
An autopsy the next day
and subsequent toxicology
tests determined that heroin was a substantial factor
in causing Dylan Nelsons
death.
After Nelsons death,
police set up surveillance
outside the apartment on
East Main Street, the complaint states. The apartment
was believed to be rented to
for their law enforcement careers. Their first

assignment will be in the
Dane County Jail, where
they will serve a two-year
probationary period.
The positions became
available due to retirements and vacancies that
occurred in the past year.

Letters to the editor
Too many downsides in KPW study

I do not support the Kettle Park
West Development.
From the beginning it has seemed
rushed and secretive, two signs that
far more investigation is required.
Much more needs to be done.
I do not support providing WalMart with millions of dollars of
Stoughtons money. I took a look
at the consultants partial report.
It states that the project will likely
have these consequences:
Potential negative impacts
include:
Some potential loss of business
at existing retailers in the community from the expansion of Wal-Mart
to a supercenter; the loss of business to existing retailers will vary
in degree depending on the extent to
which businesses have products and
services that compete directly with
products offered at the Wal-Mart
Supercenter or other businesses at
Kettle Park West.
Uncertainty as to the total
potential impacts of the Kettle Park
West development (positive and
negative) because a number of the
parcels in the development are not
committed at this time and impacts
from development on these parcels
cannot be fully quantified.

I ask the mayor and Common
Council to make these vaguely defined potential negative
impacts top priority.
First, it will harm current ongoing
Stoughton (and surrounding communities) businesses. Why isnt that
enough?
Second, the consultant admits
that all of the negative impacts cannot even yet be assessed because
the parcels are not committed.
It seems that after all the years
this has apparently been in the
works the developer either has committed businesses or it doesnt. This
report indicates it doesnt. In other
words the project is underfunded,
under planned, and, at best, premature.
I ask the mayor and council to
stop this project and help Stoughton regroup to help its current businesses and to invite and support
committed businesses, who do not
need large amounts of financial
assistance from the taxpayers, into
Stoughton.

bamboozle all those Dems?
We have a failed congress.
They all wish to be re-elected in
November. They needed some
issue that they could pass in a
bipartisan manner that would
get the voters attention. The
fraudulently run Phoenix VA
hospital provided the issue.
Soon we learned 160,000 veterans new to the VA system were
not getting the health care they
needed for months or a year or
more.
The VA system is overloaded
with patients, is massively
understaffed and needs billions of dollars of updated and
additional facilities to serve
the influx of aging vets and
War on Terror vets. Thats the
basic reason 160,000 vets are
not receiving timely healthcare.
The VA made an extraordinary
effort and sent most of those
160,000 vets to private care.
Thus, the VA solved the problem for these vets before Congress cut the final deal.
The VA is big.
With over 1,700 facilities
and 6.5 million patients, its
the largest medical system in
the U.S. It is the best example
of single payer/single provider
health care in America, with
over 86 million appointments
a year. On any given day, over
six million appointments are
on the schedule books. The
VA proved that 84 percent of
those appointments were 14
days or less from the time of
the appointment, far quicker
than the private sector average of about 18 days. The VA

reported 10 percent, or 620,000
appointments are 31 days or
longer away. Bait and switch:
The Republicans argued the
160,000 vets were the problem
and privatization was the solution. When the VA solved that
problem, the privatizers did the
huckster two-step and said the
problem is the 10 percent of
veterans who wait more than
30 days and the 36 percent who
live more than 40 miles from a
facility.
The new law states veterans
living more than 40 miles from
a facility (2.34 million vets)
and the 10 percent of veterans
with appointments over 30
days (660,000 vets) be offered
private care. Thus nearly three
million may be sent to private care. The crisis started
because 2.5 percent (160,000)
veterans were poorly served by
VA management. The resolution of the crisis ended with
up to 46 percent of all the veterans served by the VA will
possibly be sent to private care
facilities.
This law is supposed to terminate the privatization effort by
Sept. 30, 2016. By that time the
government will have wasted
over $25 billion on sending
vets to private care. The special interests will demand the
law be extended beyond 2016.
Citizens need to contact the
President and Congressional
members urging them to fix and
staff the VA dont privatize
it! Tell them privatizing the VA
is a special interest get-rich
scheme.
Veterans who have served
this nation deserve better than
to be pawns to make the rich
richer.

Budget: Town hall meeting set for Sept. 29

That means difficult
decisions this year as city
leaders spend the next few
weeks working out what to
cut and what to keep in the
budget.
While growth is up, its
still under 1 percent. And
while the structural deficit
the difference between
the amount requested by
department heads and the
amount available to spend
is half of last years, its
still more than $300,000.
Beginning Tuesday, the
Finance committee will
discuss reports from the
citizen-and-official Results
Teams, which met this summer to prioritize services,
and the citys budget gap. It
will lead to a Sept. 29 Town
Hall meeting for citizens to
learn more about the budget
and express ideas.
The Common Council
will hold budget workshops
during October and plans to
hold a public hearing before
adopting the budget Nov.
11.
Slow growth
Stoughtons rate of new
construction is the lowest
of any city in Dane County.
Lower, in fact, that all other
municipalities except for
the Village of Rockdale,
which had zero growth thus
far in 2014.
The citys increase in net
new construction, so far, is
at .82 percent, for an estimated total value increase
of $7.3 million. Total net
new construction in 2013
was .32 percent.
That compares with a
2.25 percent increase in
neighboring Oregon, which
has an estimated value
increase of more than $19
million so far this year.
Most of the growth is in the
construction of single-family homes.
Finance director Laurie
Sullivan said net new construction of .82 allows the
citys levy to increase from
last year by $55,658.
Stoughton has not
grown much, said Mayor
Donna Olson Tuesday in an
interview with the Courier
Hub. Theres an uptick,
but when we talk about an
uptick, its not like other
what happens in other communities. We talk about
2014 budget offers

Some department offers that Results Teams
ranked as low priority or recommended as moneysaving items:
Market the Opera House as a destination location
Funding for RDA
Senior center information and assistance
Reduce size of the Common Council
Media technology support
Government media productions
City web page design
Council committees
Landmarks commission
Cemetery maintenance
Christmas lights/holiday light show
Funding for police department K9 unit
Eliminate one polling station
going from maybe seven
single-family homes to 14.
But its growing; the empty
lots are filling up, and that
will indeed bring on new
residential development.
Ranking priorities
As part of the citys Budgeting for Outcomes process, the council last week
heard presentations from
the four Results Teams.
The teams, comprising
city employees and residents, take proposals or
offers from the citys
various department heads
and rank them by priority.
Offers generally involve a
city service, with a dollar
figure for how much it costs
to provide the service.
After the Results Teams
rank offers and report their
priorities to the council,
the mayor and her leadership team review and revise
budget numbers, attempting
to bring low-ranked offers
above a cutoff line.
On Oct. 14, after meeting
with department heads to
discuss offers and the funds
available, Olson will present the council with a proposed budget.
At last weeks meeting,
Olson told the council the
city is facing a $306,000
budget deficit. Thats less
than half the deficit the city
faced at this time last year,
and Olson said shes confident that after discussions
with department heads, she
will present the council
with a balanced budget that
maintains most city services.

But, she said, itll take
a lot of hard work to get
there.
The important thing to
note is these are early numbers, she said. Still, it gets
harder every year to bridge
the gap. We will have use
that net new growth to
allow us to increase (the tax
levy) as much as we can.
Of course, thats a council
decision.
Olson said services, or
offers, that ranked low
on the priority list may be
areas of concern, or sometimes theyre just discussion items.
Some of the Results
Teams look at an item that
is fully funded by revenues, and put it at the bottom because they dont
have to worry about it,
she explained. My hardest job at this point is to
review information from
the Results Teams and the
department heads, and then
find a way to make changes
above the line to pull a few
more items up.
So I have to ask: What
can be done to enable us to
maintain the quality of life
that were used to?
The offers
Olson and Sullivan told
the Hub that the titles of
some offers look like they
should be low priority. But
they turn out to be a critical
service.
One example is
September is
Senior Center
Month!
Come tour our
facility and
see all we have
to offer!
Stoughton Area
Senior Center
information and assistance

at the senior center.
We have a national- and
state-accredited senior center, she said. So thats a
tough call. We know that
our community has a large
percentage of seniors, and
providing them the help that
they need is a big deal.
Sullivan said some of the
offers such as marketing
the Opera House and funding the RDA or Landmarks
Commission have fund
balances the city could use
instead of funding them further.
But some of the ideas are
good, she said.
Can we find an intern
that helps with RDA, or
another volunteer that helps
with some of this? she
wondered. The K9 unit was
another example. The Police
Department is asking for
more funding for the police
dog. But the teams are saying, what happened to our
fundraisers? Maybe we
should have more of those.
She said ideas like that
can help keep other services
above the line.
Olson agreed and said
that sort of thing is necessary with the combination
of the property tax cap and
the citys low growth rate.
If you can fundraise,
you absolutely have to fundraise, she said. Theres
probably not going to be
a big fundraiser to fix a
street, for example.

We are told in a variety of ways to

seize the day: Carpe Diem; eat, drink
and be merry; and in short, enjoy life
while you can, for tomorrow we may
die. But, more likely we will not die
tomorrow and so there is something
to be said for delaying gratification and
planning for the future. All of this talk
of seizing the day, when taken even half
seriously, is often just a way to rationalize not planning and preparing for the
future. This doesnt mean we have to be
overly anxious about the future, but it
does mean that we should plan prudently for a long and healthy life. Two good
ways to do this are education and saving. Aristotle claimed that education is
the best provision for old age, presumably because it cultivates the mind and
allows one to reflect on the most important things, i.e., the divine things and
how to live a virtuous life. And of course
we should be saving for that proverbial
rainy day, for assuredly, for most of us
at least, tomorrow will come, and the
day after tomorrow as well. He who
does not plan for the future is ensuring
that it will be a meager one.

Jon Alan Tondryk
Jon Alan Tondryk
Jon Alan Tondryk, resident of Stoughton, died

from small cell carcinoma
on Sept. 4, 2014. Jon was
born Jan. 22, 1951, to the
late Joseph Adam Tondryk
and Lucille Lillian Joshua,
in Milwaukee. He graduated from the University of
Wisconsin at Stevens Point
with a BA in Psychology/
Sociology. After graduating, Jon lived in Bay View
while helping his Dad run
Bay View Printing. After
that, he worked for the
State of Wisconsin for 30
years. At first, he was a
Manpower Specialist in
Rhinelander, helping the
unemployed find jobs. Later he served as Veterans
Assistant, and then moved
to Central Office in Madison as an Information/Tech
Specialist doing statewide
training in computer reporting systems for Welfare
Assistance Programs. His
last post before he retired
was Systems Leader for
computer reporting systems
for job programs.
Jon loved Wisconsin. He
always lived in homes next
to lakes or rivers where
he enjoyed fishing year
round. He learned to hunt
from a friend in Edgerton
and could be found in any
weather hunting ducks or
deer, always using them for
food, not sport. He was an
incredible gardener, accomplished at growing a huge
number of vegetables and
flowers in small spaces. A
creative cook, he prepared
delicious foods, particularly
venison and beef sausages
and traditional Polish dishes. At times in his life, he
was a best friend and father
figure for young men, sons
September 18, 2014
of significant others in his

life. He was a self-taught
poet and painter, particularly of landscapes.
Jon leaves behind his
sister, Joanne Tondryk
White, and her husband
Ralph (West Hartford,
Conn.); nephews, Christopher White and his wife,
Meghan (Houston, Tex.),
and Michael White and
his wife Rachael (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and their son
and Jons great-nephew,
Clive Gordon White. He
also leaves his step-mother,
Marie Tondryk, and stepsisters, Kim Nedd and Pam
Lierman. Cricket, his black
lab, and Champagne, his
cat, miss him greatly.
Jon fought a valiant battle
against cancer and wishes
to thank those who supported and cared for him over
the past four years: Jeannie and Mick Holtan, Tom
and Nancy Meier, Miti and
Gloria Wongkit, Lori and
Wendy Helley, Ken Rierson; Kacy, RN, Jean, PT,

Senior Armando Perez-Soberanes wins a header in the second half Tuesday in a Badger South Conference game against Madison Edgewood at Reddan Soccer Park.
The Vikings held on for a 1-0 victory.
Zeichert holds shutout
Stoughton edges
Edgewood 1-0, Zeichert
collects 10 saves
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
It only took one goal for the

Stoughton High School boys
soccer team to knock off Badger South rival Madison Edgewood Tuesday at Reddan Soccer Park, but it took 10 saves
by sophomore goalie Zethren
Zeichert to seal the 1-0 win.
Zeichert, who made several
diving saves, had to remain
alert for the whole 90 minutes
as Edgewood held possession
for three-quarters of the game.
But Zeichert, with the help
of some key clears by the
defense from the penalty box,

was able to keep the Crusaders
from reaching the back of the
net.
It wasnt the easiest thing,
but in the long run, it is all
about playing your part to win
the game, Zeichert said.
Zeichert also had to help the
defense, which was playing
with injuries. Varsity reserve
sophomore Jackson Hampton
played the right side of the net
for most of the game.
I was just helping him out
on the outside like a normal
game, Zeichert said.
Junior Spencer Weeden
scored the lone goal in the
win. Senior Devin Wermuth
knocked the ball into the box,
and junior Nathan Varese tried
to score first. Varese hit the
post, but Weeden was right
there to knock in the rebound.

The win moves the Vikings
(9-3-1 overall) to 2-1 in the
Badger South Conference.
We didnt have our best
game, but they kept the ball
out, head coach Dave Wermuth said. Zeth played a bang
up job in the goal, and everyone played with heart. It is an
ugly win, but sometimes that is
good.
Stoughton travels to Oregon
at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23.
Dave Wermuth said that the
team will need to control the
possession longer and more
efficiently if it intends to upset
the Panthers.
Edgewood is a good team,
and Oregon is a great team.
We have to pass better to beat
them, he said.
Stoughton 2, Baraboo 1
The Vikings traveled to

Baraboo Thursday and held on
for a 2-1 non-conference win.
Junior Ethan Genter scored
the eventual game-winner in
the 63rd minute with an assist
to senior Dylan Wenker. Junior
Ben Stefanic scored the first
goal in the 29th minute.
Stoughton 3, Monroe 1
Stoughton picked up a Badger
South Conference victory last
Friday with a 3-1 win against
Monroe.
The host Vikings scored three
times in the second half. Devin
Wermuth, junior Alex Morris
and Genter all scored the goals.
Genter also added an assist on
the Wermuth goal.
Zeichert picked up four saves.
In just her second 5K race

of the season, senior Nikki
Staffen cut 41 seconds off
her time from two weeks ago
to finish third overall Thursday at the Madison West
Invitational.
Staffens time of 19 minutes, 14 seconds was second to only Amy Davis of
Madison Edgewoods 17:54
and the 19:09 of Madison
Easts Colleen Milligan to
help Stoughton finish second
overall 39 points behind
Madison West.
The 5k distance really
benefits Nikki as she is
stronger this year and has the
confidence in her training to
push the pace, Stoughton
head coach Susan Zaemisch
said.
The Vikings went to a
sixth-runner tiebreaker to
break a second-place tie with
Badger South Conference
rival Madison Edgewood.
Sophomore Aly Weum
stepped up to finish a second
faster than two weeks ago as
the Vikings second runner,
taking 12th place in 20:03.
Clea Roe was just off the
pace in 16th (20:16), while
Augustyna Brestar placed
20th in 20:38.
Senior Megan Reese
rounded out the teams varsity scorers in 20:40.
Megan continues to be
solid point getter for the
team, as well as, freshman
Paige Halverson, Zaemisch
said. Kelsey Jenny also put
together a good race, in addition to Augustyna Brestar.

Kirby carries Vikings to 2-0 start

in Badger South Conference
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Zach Kirby returned the opening

kickoff and the Stoughton High
School football team never trailed
Friday as the Vikings improved
to 2-0 in the Badger South with a
28-14 win over Fort Atkinson.
Kirby returned the opening
kickoff 85 yards and later added
a 38-yard touchdown run to give
Stoughton a touchdown lead going
into halftime.
The opening kickoff got us off
to a fast start that we needed on the
road, Stoughton head coach Jason
Thiry said. Coach Kris Rosholt
does an excellent job with our
special teams, and they have been

improving every game.
The Vikings continued to pound
the ball on the ground from there
as Kirby and Alex Zacharias
accounted for 341 yards and three
touchdowns in the win.
Kirby rushed for 144 yards,
while Zacharias accounted for 197
as both split the teams 34 carries.
Zacharias pushed the Vikings
lead to three scores with touchdown runs of 68 and 3 yards in the
fourth quarter before Behselich hit
Clay Gerds for an 8-yard touchdown pass.
Stoughton junior quarterback
Jake Kissling completed 1-of5 passes for eight yards and an
interception.
The Blackhawks fell to 0-4
overall, 0-2 in the conference.
Fort Atkinson had 43 yards on
28 carries, opting to get the majority of the teams offense through the
air as quarterback Brett Behselich
connected on 14-of-22 passes for
133 yards and one fourth-quarter
touchdown.
Our offensive line and
blocking backs played physical
football, Thiry said. However
our defense needs credit holding
a very talented QB to limited
rushing and passing yards.

High School.
Injuries, illness take toll in loss to Fort Atkinson

ANTHONY IOZZO
There were spurts when

the Stoughton High School
volleyball team looked
like it could knock off Fort
Atkinson Thursday, but
the host Vikings couldnt
shake their own errors
en route to a 3-0 (17-25,
17-25, 19-25) loss.
It doesnt help that three
starters were missing or
battling injuries or illness, but the girls filling
in have done their part.
Senior Hannah Posick has
filled the libero position
for senior Olivia Dorscheid, and freshman Tessa
Berry has made the jump
in varsity minutes to add
an attacker to the floor.
No excuses. The girls
are tough and fighting a
lot of adversity already
this season, and this was
our first tough matchup,
head coach Kelly Sorensen
said. The girls learned a
lot. We have some things
to work on, but I am fully
confident that they will
bounce back from this and
come back stronger and
with more fight than ever.
Fort Atkinson was just
more consistent than
Stoughton. Still, the
Vikings had a chance to
force a fourth game with
the serve and the game tied
at 17 in the third game.

However, the Blackhawks
rattled off a 8-2 run to finish the sweep.
It didnt help that
Stoughton looked to have
tied the game at 18 with a
kill until the referee called
the ball out, causing the
student section to protest
in jeers.
But that wasnt the only
opportunity for Stoughton to take the momentum away from the Blackhawks. The Vikings
jumped out to a 7-3 lead in
game two, but the Blackhawks regained the lead
and the two teams kept
it close until Fort held a
17-14 lead.
That is when the Blackhawks ended the game on
an 8-3 run and moved up
two games to none in the
match.
Stoughton trailed 18-9
in game one before cutting
the deficit to five twice,
but the runs were not
enough.
Our passing and
defense were a little off
tonight, but when it was
there, our offense was in
rhythm and we did some
great things, Sorensen
said. Our weakest points
were there serving runs
when we had miscommunications and we lost a little confidence. Our mental
toughness was really tested tonight.

Junior middle blocker
Hannah Hobson led the
Vikings with eight kills,
while senior outside hitter
Annie Fergus picked up
six. Senior setter Lindsey
Bach had 20 assists, and
sophomore outside hitter
Rachel Hedman, Berry,
Bach, Hobson and Fergus
all added one ace.
Sophomore outside hitter Maggie Jo Wirag, Bach
and Posick all picked up
seven digs.
Senior right-side hitter
Jordyn Weum and Hobson
added a block each.
Fort Atkinson was led by
junior outside hitter Julia
Hanson with 16 kills, four
digs and three aces. Freshman setter Sarah Pfeifer
added 17 assists, and sophomore middle blockers
Katie Frohmader and Miah
Garant each added 1 1/2
blocks.
They have a balanced
attack. They have some
strong hitters on the other side of the net, and we
just have to figure out
our blocking matchups a
little better at this point,
Sorensen said.
Stoughton hosts Oregon
at 7 p.m. Thursday, and it
travels to Middleton High

School at 8 a.m. Saturday
for the Cardinal invite. The
Vikings finish the week at
7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23,
at Milton.
I feel good coming out
of this match, even though
it a loss, because of those
moments of greatness that
we had tonight, Sorensen
said. We just need to find
a way to put that together
for more than a few points
at a time.
Parker invite
Stoughton traveled to
Janesville Parker on Saturday for an invitational and
picked up one win in five
matches.
The Vikings defeated
Orfordville Parkview 2-0
(25-23, 25-22), but they
fell to Milton 2-0 (2426, 20-25), Jefferson 2-0
(19-25, 20-25), Janesville

and Kenosha Christian

respectively, while Bach
finished with 59 assists
and 11 aces.

Despite being pleased

with his teams times
Thursday at the Madison
West Invitational, Stoughton boys head coach Pat
Schneider admitted to
being a little disappointed
with how his team placed.
Many of the best Division 1 schools in the area
were at this deceptively
small meet, said Schneider whose team finished
second to last with 179
points behind Badger
South Conference rivals
Oregon (121), Monroe
(152) and Monona Grove
(167). If each varsity runner would have been 10
seconds faster, we would
have picked up several
more team spots.
On the positive side,
the meet saw all six of the
Vikings top runners finish
under the 18-minute mark
led by sophomore Owen
Roes time of 17:05.
This is at least the first
time that has happened
since 2000, Schneider
said.
While Roe finished
24th, fellow underclassman Tristan Jenny wasnt
far off the pace, finishing
34th in 17:40.
Junior Gabe Ross added a 38th-place finish in

17:52, while senior Giles
France stepped up to finish
41st in 17:56.
Owen looks very strong
and confident, Schneider
said. It was also nice to
see Giles come up with a
strong performance.
Sophomore Garrett
Model once again rounded out the pack, finishing
42nd in 17:58.
It is hard to be upset
when our entire varsity
team ran their lifetime
fastest 5K races, Schneider said. However, I
know that several of our
varsity runners can run
with Owen.
When the majority of
the team begin to believe
that they can run with
Owen, we will start to regularly beat our conference
rivals.
The Vikings JV team
continued to look quite
strong at the meet as well.
We have several guys
on JV who will push our
varsity and complete
for those varsity spots,
Schneider said.

The Vikings traveled
to Baraboo on Tuesday
and lost a tough 3-2 (1925, 26-24, 25-21, 25-27,
6-15) match.
Stoughton held a lead
in the fourth game, but
Baraboo fought back to
force a fifth set.
The Vikings trailed early in the final game and
could not regroup.
We didnt quite play
to win at the end of the
match. We played a little
tense, Sorensen said.
Hobson finished with
10 kills and six blocks,
while Bach picked up 23
assists. Wirag collected
six aces, and Posick added
14 digs.
A theme for the Stoughton so far this season has
been the moments of good
play being overshadowed
by some key mistakes,
Sorensen said.

varsity from becoming too comfortable.
I fully expect nine or 10 different guys
to run varsity at some point this season,
Schneider said. I still say that it will be a
very tight race for places in conference.
Thursdays race showed that with even a
slight falter, other conference rivals will be
there to take advantage.
The difference between second and
fifth at conference will likely come down
to who has the best training, Schneider said. Based out of what I have seen
in practice, I think our team is doing an
exceptional job of working hard and making sure we will be ready for the big races
at the end of the year.
Badger Challenge
Stoughton bounced back with a much
better race Tuesday in DeForest at the

Badger Challenge.
Led by Roe (17:56) and Model (17:56),
the Vikings placed sixth overall behind
conference rivals Monroe and Monona
Grove, but ahead of Oregon, Fort Atkinson

ing Use:
Any nonconforming use may continue as allowed by law.
(3) Modification of a Nonconforming Use:
As prescribed by Wis. Stat.
62.23(7)(h), a nonconforming use shall
not be expanded.
(4) Discontinuance of a Nonconforming Use:
If the nonconforming use is discontinued for a period of 12 consecutive
months, any future use of the building,
premises, structure or fixture shall conform to this Chapter.
(5) Structural Alterations and Repairs of a Structure Containing a Nonconforming Use:
This Subsection is not intended
to regulate ordinary maintenance and
repair; however, the City and owners
of structures containing nonconforming uses are subject to Wisconsin
Statutes that limit structural repairs
and alterations to structures containing nonconforming uses. To meet applicable statutory requirements, 1 the
City recommends that all owners of
structures containing nonconforming
uses maintain records of structural repairs and alterations. The burden is on
the person requesting a permit for structural repairs and alterations to establish
eligibility under the law in effect at the
time that the permit is requested.
See also Regulations for Nonconforming Structures set forth in this
Chapter.
(1) Definition: A nonconforming
use is an active and actual use of land or
structures, or both; legally established
prior to the effective date of this chapter
or subsequent applicable amendment
thereto which has continued the same
use to the present, and which would not
be permitted under the current terms of
this chapter.
(2) Continuance of a nonconforming use: Any nonconforming use lawfully existing upon the effective date of
this chapter or any amendment to it may
be continued at the size and in a manner
of operation existing upon such date,
except as specified in this section. Any
prior legal use made nonconforming by
this chapter or by an amendment to it
may be granted legal conforming status
by the issuance of a conditional use permit, subject to the standards and procedures prescribed by section 78-905. Any
prior legal use made nonconforming by
a modification to the Official Zoning Map
after the effective date of this chapter
may be granted legal conforming use
status by changing the zoning district of
the affected property to an appropriate
district through a zoning map amendment. Such requested zoning amendment shall be subject to the standards
and procedures prescribed by section
78-903
(3) Modification of a nonconforming use:
(a) Except as permitted in this section, a nonconforming use shall not be
expanded, enlarged, or extended, unless the use is changed to a use permitted in the district in which the use
is located, and shall not be changed to
another nonconforming use.
(b) A nonconforming nonresidential
use not served by public sanitary sewer
and/or public water may be permitted to
expand without being served by public
sanitary sewer and/or public water if
either or both facilities are not available
within 1,000 feet of the subject property,
and a conditional use permit is granted
for such expansion.
(4) Discontinuance of a nonconforming use: When any nonconforming
use of any structure or land is discontinued for a period of 12 consecutive
months, or is changed into a conforming use, any future use of said structure
or land shall be in complete conformity
with the provisions of this chapter.
(5) Maintenance and repair of a
nonconforming use: The ordinary maintenance and repair of a nonconforming
use (structure or land) is permitted, in-
cluding necessary repairs and incidental alterations which do not exacerbate

the adverse impacts of the nonconforming use in relation to the purpose of this
chapter. Except as otherwise provided
in this section, whenever a nonconforming use is damaged to the extent of more
than 50 percent of its current equalized
assessed value, it shall not be restored
except in conformity with the regulations of the district in which it is located.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence,
the structural repairs or alterations in a
structure either itself nonconforming or
containing a nonconforming use shall
not during its lifetime exceed 50 percent
of the present equalized assessed value
of said structure unless permanently
changed to a conforming use.
(6) Nonconforming lots and structures: See section 78-408
2. This ordinance shall be in full
force and effect from and after its date
of publication.
The foregoing ordinance was adopted by the Common Council of the
City of Stoughton at a meeting held on
September 9, 2014.

structure shall be in conformance with

the provisions of this chapter.
(6)
Substantial
improvement.
Whenever a lawful nonconforming
structure has been damaged by fire,
flood, wind, explosion, earthquake,
war, riot, unlawful act, or act of God, it
may be reconstructed and used as before. The reconstruction shall allow for
the size of a structure to be larger than
the size it was immediately before the
damage or destruction if necessary for
the structure to comply with applicable
state or federal requirements.
(7) Ordinary maintenance. Ordinary
maintenance repairs, including repairs
reasonably necessary to prevent the
deterioration of a structure, and remodeling of a nonconforming structure are
permitted, as well as necessary nonstructural repairs and alterations which
do not extend, enlarge, or intensify the
nonconforming structure. Ordinary
maintenance repairs and remodeling
include internal and external painting,
decorating, paneling, the addition of
acoustical ceilings, the installation of
heating, electricity, plumbing (including
fixtures) or insulation, and the replacement of doors, windows, and other nonstructural components.
(8) Alterations. Subject to section
78-408(4), structural alterations may be
made to a lawful nonconforming structure provided such alterations do not increase the bulk of the structure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a conforming
garage may be added if none previously
existed. However, after the effective date
of this chapter, such structures shall
not be enlarged, expanded or extended
unless the enlargement, expansion or
extension complies with the provisions
of this chapter or unless a variance is
granted by the zoning board of appeals
under section 78-910 and except as permitted under section 78-408(4).
(9) Timing of building permit. Any
structure for which a building permit
has been lawfully granted prior to the
effective date of this chapter or an
amendment to it which will become nonconforming under the provisions of this
chapter or that amendment thereto, may
be completed in accordance with the approved plans, provided construction is
started within 365 calendar days after
issuance of the permit and construction
is completed within 730 calendar days (2
years) after issuance of the permit. If all
such conditions are met, the structure
shall thereafter be a legal nonconforming structure.
(10) Blanket variance. Blanket conforming status is hereby automatically
granted to all nonconforming principle
structures in their configuration existing
or as finally approved as of the effective date of this chapter. However, after
the effective date of this chapter, such
structures may not be enlarged, expanded or extended unless the enlargement,
expansion or extension complies with
the provisions of this chapter or unless a variance is granted by the zoning
board of appeals under section 78-910
Rationale: The blanket conforming status specified in subsection (10)
is intended to eliminate the continued
classification and/or creation of certain
principle structures as non-conforming.
This provision addresses two different
situations. First: prior to the provision of
full-time inspection services, a number
of structures were approved in the city
that did not meet setback requirements.
Second: this chapter requires greater
side yard setback requirements for certain lot sizes than did previous regulations for similar sized lots. Subsection
(10) therefore ensures that owners of
such structures approved prior to the
adoption of this chapter do not encounter difficulty in transferring ownership
because the structures would otherwise
be considered nonconforming.
Rationale: The blanket conforming
status specified in subsection (10) is

ject to the requirements of this chapter.

First Reading
September 9, 2014 Second Reading
The Common Council of the City
of Stoughton, Dane County Wisconsin,
ordains as follows:
1. Sec. 78-408 of the Municipal Code
is hereby amended to read as follows:
78-408 Nonconforming structure
regulations.
(1) General Provisions:
As set forth in Wis. Stat. 62.23(7)
(hb), a nonconforming structure
means a dwelling or other building that
existed lawfully before the current zoning ordinance or development regulation was enacted or amended, but that
does not conform with one or more of
the zoning ordinances or development
regulations adopted as part of the current ordinance or regulation. The current use of the structure conforms to
this Chapter; however, the structure
itself does not comply with current regulations (perhaps as a result of development regulations such as setbacks, for
example) but the structure did conform
with the regulations in effect when constructed. The continued lawful use of a
structure lawfully existing at the time
of the adoption or amendment of a zoning ordinance may not be prohibited although the structure does not conform
with the provisions of the newly adopted
or amended ordinance. As required by
law, the Citys interpretation and application of the nonconforming structure
regulations set forth in this Section shall
be governed by state statutes relating
to nonconforming structures, and any
subsequent amendments thereto. Applicable provisions of Wis. Stat. 62.23(7)
relating to nonconforming structures,
and subsequent amendments thereto,
are hereby incorporated in this Section
by reference. In the event of a conflict of
law in this Chapter, Wis. Stat. 62.23(7)

(g) shall apply.
(2) Continuance of a Nonconforming Structure:
Any nonconforming structure may
continue as allowed by law.
(3) Repair, Maintenance, Renovation or Remodeling of a Nonconforming
Structure:
62.23(7)(hc), the City does not by this
Section 78-408 prohibit, or limit based
on cost, the repair, maintenance, renovation, or remodeling of a nonconforming structure.
(4) Structural Alterations and Repairs for Nonconforming Structures:
62.23(7)(hc), the City does not by this
Section 78-408 prohibit the restoration
of a nonconforming structure if the
structure will be restored to the size, location, and use that it had immediately
before the damage or destruction occurred, without any limits on the costs
of the repair, reconstruction, or improvement if all of the following apply:
(a) The nonconforming structure
was damaged or destroyed on or after
March 2, 2006.
(b) The damage or destruction was
caused by violent wind, vandalism, fire,
flood, ice, snow, mold, or infestation.
[Note: Notwithstanding the foregoing, where both (a) and (b) above apply,
the size of a structure may be larger than
the size it was immediately before the
damage or destruction if necessary for
the structure to comply with applicable
state or federal requirements.]
See also Regulations for Nonconforming Uses set forth in this Chapter.
(1) Any structure lawfully existing
upon the effective date of this chapter
may be continued at the size and in a
manner of operation existing upon such
date, except as provided in this section.
(2) Any lawful nonconforming
structures existing at the time of the
adoption or amendment of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived
may be continued, although its size or
location does not conform with the lot
width, lot area, yard, height, parking
and loading, and access provisions of
this chapter. Any lawful nonconforming
structures may be allowed to be extended, enlarged, reconstructed, moved or
structurally altered, provided that said
extension, enlargement, reconstruction,
movement or alteration complies with
the zoning and building requirements
of the specific zoning district, except for
the existing nonconformance. However,
the nonconforming feature of a lawful
nonconforming structure shall not be
allowed to become more nonconforming by being extended, enlarged, reconstructed, moved or structurally altered
except as permitted under subsection
78-408(4) or when required to do so by
law, or order, or to comply with the provisions of this chapter, or with the approval of the zoning board of appeals.
(3) A damaged or destroyed nonconforming structure may be restored
to the size, location, and use that it had
immediately before the damage or destruction occurred, without any limits
on the costs of the repair, reconstruction, or improvement if all of the following apply:
(a) The nonconforming structure
was damaged or destroyed on or after
the effective date of this chapter.
(b) The damage or destruction was
caused by violent wind, vandalism, fire,
flood, ice, snow, mold, or infestation.
(4) Unsafe structures. Nothing in
this chapter shall preclude the building inspector or any other city official
from initiating remedial or enforcement
actions when a lawful nonconforming
structure is declared unsafe or presents
a danger the public health, safety, or
welfare.
(5) Future modification. When any
lawful nonconforming structure in any
district is modified so as to be in conformance with the provisions of this
chapter, any future modification of said

Courier Hub
Analysis: Alders complain that report is incomplete

information the research
firm requested and needed
for a more thorough analysis.
Maxfield president Mary
Bujold delivered a summary of the report last Thursday at a joint meeting of the
Common Council and the
Planning Commission.
She told the council that
in most cases, retail spending that takes place after
a Supercenter has been
built is zero-sum, capturing from one to give to the
other.
The Common Council
and the Stoughton community has been sharply
divided over the proposed
development, which would
be built at the northwest
quadrant of the U.S. Hwy.
51 and state Hwy. 138
intersection on the citys
west side.
Mayor Donna Olson
and her staff have worked
with the KPW developer
for more than three years
and see the project as a key
component in their economic development strategy. But many residents
have spoken out against the
development.
Public comment against
the development continued
last Thursday, when the
council heard or read comments from nine people
opposed to the development
and/or the study.
Some council and commission members questioned some of the conclusions and premises of
the study. They also asked
about the citys planned use
of tax-increment financing
and discussed changes in
the retail market, Wal-Mart
wages and the downtown
economy with Maxfield
president Mary Bujold.
Limited information
Both critics and supporters of the development
expressed disappointment
that Forward Development
Group did not provide all
the information that Maxfield requested.
Bujold noted early in
her presentation that the
developer did not provide

information Maxfield had
requested, including the
identities of the committed
and uncommitted businesses considering opening in
KPW, other than Wal-Mart
and Kwik Trip.
Dennis Steinkraus, development manager for Forward Development Group,
said he has four separate
signed agreements for
potential tenants. He said
two of the four are not
willing to come forward
because theyre not guaranteed there is any kind of
project here at this point.
Ald. Tim Swadley (D-1),
who has consistently voted
against the development,
said at the meeting he didnt
think the study satisfies
the components required
in the Big Box ordinance.
I think its incomplete
because we dont have the
names of all the tenants, so
how can we come to a conclusion on how its going to
impact the community? he
said.
He also questioned why,
as noted in the report, the
developer did not provide information about the
amount of local construction that would be used as
the development is built.
That should be included
in the report, otherwise its
not consistent with the ordinance.
Ald. Tricia Suess (D-3)
asked Bujold if its typical
to be missing these pieces
of information, such as the
business names and other
data that Wal-Mart refused
to provide.
Bujold said she understood that some of WalMarts information was
proprietary and she
wasnt surprised the company wouldnt divulge it.
Bujold added that retailers who dont have signed
purchase agreements with
the developer may not be
at a point where they feel
comfortable being identified. However, businesses
with fully executed purchase agreements should be
named, she said.
In an interview with the
Hub, Ald. Greg Jenson
(Retail spending is usually) zero-sum,

capturing from one to give to the other.
Economic impacts of KPW

Maxfield analysis findings of key economic
impacts of opening Wal-Mart Supercenter on the
community:
Mary Bujold
Maxfield Research president
POSITIVE
(D-3) agreed that the report
is not conclusive.
But it wasnt meant to be,
he added.
Its meant to give you a
general idea of what could
possibly be either a positive or negative result,
Jenson said.
He added that while he
is somewhat disappointed with the study because
of the lack of information provided to Maxfield,
he would to continue to
support the development
because the positives outweigh the negatives.
Yes, its going to hurt
somebody, but anytime we
do anything, theres always
somebody whos going to
be hurt, he said.
Ald. Pat OConnor (D-4)
also supports the development. In an email, he told
the Courier Hub that hes
generally in favor of KPW
as I believe it will be a net
positive for the city.
He added that the study
did a good job of identifying information and conclusions on the economic
impact of KPW. It confirmed general impressions
for me.
Effect on economy
Swadley noted the
analysis identified 11 or
12 vacant commercial,
retail and office spaces in
Stoughton. Yet, he found
more than 30 vacant spaces
in the city.
I find that quite alarming, he said. How do we
fill all those spaces?
Bujold acknowledged
that if existing businesses
relocate in the development, those spaces may be
older and go unfilled for a
long time.
She said newer businesses typically dont like
moving into an older building and are often willing to
pay more to locate in a new
facility like KPW.

Bujold noted the analysis revealed that Stoughton
has a lot of individual,
independently owned businesses.
She said developing the
KPW commercial center
would potentially result in
revenue losses of between
5 and 25 percent over time,
depending on the merchandise line.
Engelberger asked if
Bujold had talked with any
local business owners in
preparing the analysis.
No, I did not, she
replied.
In response to a question
from Suess, Bujold agreed
there is a huge shift away
from the retail market to
online shopping.
In fact, just yesterday
I heard that the top three
Internet retailers sold $38
billion of goods last year,
she said. They have no
physical outlets only an
online retail presence.
Its going to continue
to change and evolve, she
added.
Swadley noted that the
report stated many of the
jobs created would not
pay a living wage and said
theres no evidence that
people would move to here
for those jobs.
The report indicates that
most full-time Wal-Mart
employees in Stoughton
would make about $11 per
hour, or about $22,880
annually. Part-time employees working 20 hours per
week would make about
half that.
Neither of these payments could be considered
a living wage for either an
individual or a multiple
person household where
the householder would be
responsible for any dependents, the report says.

Potential loss of business at existing retailers

Uncertainty about positive and negative impact

Uncertainty in the timeframe for the buildout

be covered by the developer under the citys
agreement)
City of Stoughton was $818
per month, which is 43 percent higher than what a fulltime worker at Wal-Mart
would be able to affordably
pay.
Questioning TIF
Bujold declined to give
a definitive opinion when
council president Mike
Engelberger (D-2) asked if
the KPW commercial center is an appropriate use of
TIF.
She said that depends on
how you want your community to grow over time,
and what your vision for
the community is, as well
as what you think the risks
are.
Stoughton is a strong
community with a strong
business base, but it (the
use of TIF) is not without
its risks, she said.
The council approved
a development agreement
with Forward Development Group in January
that includes $5.1 million
in tax-increment financing
(TIF).
TIF is a public funding mechanism that can be
used to build infrastructure,
incentivize redevelopment
or subsidize other community-improvement projects
by pooling the increased
property tax revenue from
all taxing jurisdictions (the
city, the county, MATC and
the Stoughton School District) of the newly developed property and putting it
in the control of the city.
Bujold said one way to
mitigate negative impacts
of the development would
be to reinvest excess tax
increment in the downtown
to strengthen existing businesses. She also said 17
years the life of the TIF
district the city has proposed is a long time in
the retail world.
Public concerns
When council president
Engelberger, who presided
over the meeting, opened
the floor for public comment, the meeting continued as it previously had
-- with KPW detractors
criticizing the proposed

development and calling
the economic impact analysis inadequate and incomplete.
Five spoke against the
project, and four more
against it had their comments read for them.
Gale Stone called the
project, with its proposed
TIF amount, extremely
risky.
I think this totally disrespects the businesses we
have in Stoughton, she
said. Infill is the way to
go. Time and time again,
when sprawl happens on
the outside of town, the
downtown dies. Weve seen
it all across the country.
Roger Springman called
the study incomplete and
in need of amending. He
said a primary goal of the
report was to tell us about
adverse impacts, but you
cannot tell adverse impacts
when you dont know
whos coming.
He doubts that many
retail stores will last for
the life of the TIF, which
would negatively affect the
economic performance of
KPW.
Former Yahara River
Grocery Cooperative board
member Mary Condon predicted the development
would put the co-op out of
business. The report estimated the co-op would lose
$150,000 in annual revenues once Wal-Mart opens
its 153,000-square-foot
supercenter.
On Tuesday, Mayor
Olson and finance director Laurie Sullivan corrected the potential loss in
revenue for the store. They
explained that Bujold used
a total sales figure of $3
million when estimating the
potential loss.
The co-op actually has
sales closer to $650,000
annually, and Olson and
Sullivan said a more accurate figure would be closer
to $12,000 in lost revenue,
if Wal-Mart were to carry
organic groceries. Bujold
confirmed the error and said
Tuesday that she would be
revising her analysis.
