Key outcomes from the Madison Plan Commission meeting on Nov. 17, 2025:
• Consent approvals (items 2 & 3): The commission approved Legistar 90546 (transportation project plat for High Point Road/Raymond Road intersection acquisitions across Verona/Madison) and Legistar 90344 (conditional use for general retail at 1440 E. Washington Ave) by unanimous consent.
• Referral (item 10): Legistar 89236 (139 West Wilson Street — proposed 16‑story, 320‑unit building seeking relief to the Capitol View preservation limit) was referred to the Dec. 1 meeting at the applicant’s request.
• 4718 Hammersley Road (item 4): Conditional use permit granted to convert the building into an adult day care (anticipated ~30 participants, ~8 staff); conditions include closing the Starlight Drive access and traffic engineering measures.
• Well 12, 801 S. Whitney Way (items 5–7): The commission approved a demolition permit for the 1957 pump house, recommended rezoning from CN to PR to the Common Council, and approved the conditional use to reconstruct Well Unit 12 and reservoir. The applicant will provide historic documentation; the project requires a variance for a 30‑foot side yard before final permits.
• 3618 Milwaukee Street (items 8–9): The commission recommended rezoning the 5.1‑acre parcel to a mix of CCT and TRU‑2 districts and approved a certified survey map to create three lots and a stormwater outlot; staff conditions apply and the rezoning will go to the Common Council.
All motions recorded at the meeting passed without objection; where the commission forwarded rezoning actions, final approval rests with the Common Council.
