School report cards are
bringing back letter grades.
Some parents with children attending the school
had complained the
schools switch to standards-based grading was
not well communicated and
the new system was hard to
understand. For the 201516 school year, both systems will be used.
As part of its move to
emphasize personalized
learning, the school had
switched last year to a
grading scale that included
three possible outcomes:
mastery, near mastery and
beginning level. The idea
was that along with those
came more information
from a teacher on how that
student mastered each standard.

City of Verona
Liberty Park proposes more growing, changing

Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
Big plans in a couple of

spots in Verona are likely to
bring some heavy discussions
next week at the citys Plan
Commission meeting.
The most significant are in
Liberty Business Park, on the
citys southeast side, where,
in addition to a public hearing
for a 600-person banquet center and a review of three other
proposed buildings, the developer is looking to change
zoning on nearly 30 acres to
a more commercial-friendly
designation.
That change would shift the
park somewhat back toward
the vision presented eight
years ago, when Liberty landowner David Reinke and former T. Wall Properties CEO
Terrence Wall were dueling
over who could bring the first
big box stores to Verona (and
got beaten to the punch by
Farm and Fleet). The commission and the Common
Council resisted until the
bottom fell out of the retail
market and Reinke proposed
making the majority of his
240 acres into industrial and
office uses.
The other discussion thats

A proposed banquet facility would connect to the approved Hyatt Place hotel through a second-floor walkway and would hold up to 600
guests.
likely to be lively Monday

pertains to an apartment
complex being proposed on
Paoli Street. The project,
which includes a three-story,
36-unit building thats nearly
50 feet tall, would replace
the abandoned VeloCity plan
approved two years ago,
which featured a bicyclefriendly design, 24 Europeanstyle apartments and a restaurant.
The commission will also
review a 6,200-square-foot
addition to Epics Shed building in its Farm Campus for a
meeting room and the final
plat of the Rockweiler property in the Harmony Hills area.
But whats been keeping the commission busy
all spring and summer this
year is Liberty Park, and
all five items related to that
development should be
worthy of a bit of back-andforth.
One is a public hearing for
a 600-person banquet facility
to be operated by Lillianas
owner Dave Heide, a proposal making its third trip in front
of the commission.
The 16,262-square-foot
building will be connected
to the already approved
Hyatt Place hotel through a
second-level walkway and
is intended to have a symbiotic relationship with the
hotel, according to an operational plan submitted to the
city. That relationship would
include bridal suites added to
the hotel to complement the
expected barrage of weddings
hosted there, as well as a right
of first refusal by the catering
company.
The building, which would

include a small second floor
for office and storage, would
have the ability to split the
center into as many as three
partitions, all of which could
have kitchen service at the
same time. The plan explains
that weekdays would likely
be for conventions and luncheons, Fridays and Saturdays would be weddings and
other private parties and Sundays would be reserved for
nonprofit events and fundraisers.
Minor aspects of the plan
have been questioned, but
plans have not changed in any
significant way since the July
initial review.
Three other buildings
and one zoning change will
get an initial review, an

commission delivers feedback, offering the proposal

before developers tighten up
the details.
The biggest of those buildings is the long-awaited move
of Reinkes 11-year-old printer parts company, Liberty
Parts Team, from West Beltline Highway in Madison.
The building would
include 54,000 square feet
of warehouse connected to
a 10,000-square-foot, twostory office building north
of Grandview Road. That
plot of land is not in the taxincrement financing district
where much of Liberty Park
sits. It is on high ground
next to the U.S. 18-151
bypass, where Reinke once
claimed hed build a skyscraper that would tower
over the rest of the city.
Two smaller buildings

proposed in Liberty Park are
similar to some others that are
being built, but they would be
somewhat dependent on the
commissions response to the
proposed zoning map amendment that would change several properties from suburban
industrial to suburban commercial.
Reinkes submission for
that zoning change states that
the development is reacting
to the market and that his
team envisions the northsouth collector street, Liberty Drive, acting as a front
door to the development
and therefore ideally suited
for welcoming commercial
facades that would front
industrial and office properties behind them. Its first two
flex buildings were built
under the suburban industrial code and contain offices
and quasi-retail enterprises,
but its most recent additions
have been straight office and
retail (on opposite sides of
Liberty Drive at the corner of
County Hwy. M).
Two more retail buildings
are being proposed, both in
areas currently zoned SI. One
would be a 14,000-squarefoot, 150-child daycare facing
M, the other a 7,500-squarefoot building further north of
M that the submission says
would be suitable for a florist,
salon and boutique gift shop.

The Verona Press
Bike/pedestrian study Kisting named

CKCS director
explores connectivity
Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
Verona is a popular place

to ride a bike, and in most
parts of town, the extent
of trails and bike lanes is a
good reason why.
But over the years, the
city has ended up with some
aggravating missing links,
and thats why its paying
up to $25,000 for a study
to explore ways to identify
possible routes to connect
neighborhoods and commercial areas and identify
new transportation facilities and encourage their
use.
Public Works committee chair Evan Touchett
explained to the Press
shortly after the council
approved the study Monday
that its been a longstanding
discussion authorized in
the budget process last year
about getting some of the
newer areas of the city better linked.
This is looking at neighborhoods, at Epic in particular, some possible ways
to alleviate congestion,
Touchett said. The catalyst
is outlying neighborhoods,
tying them in from a bicycle and pedestrian-friendly
perspective.
The study is separate but
somewhat related to one
the Parks Commission did
years ago to look at the
citys trail system. And
Ald. Brad Stiner (Dist. 3)

made a point to ask about
incorporating those results
into the new study. But
Touchett told him parks
director Dave Walker has
already been involved in
the planning of the study,
and Mayor Jon Hochkammer pointed out that this
one will be far more extensive.
For example, Touchett
told the Press, getting from
Cathedral Point or Scenic
Ridge, which are both south
of the U.S. 18-151 bypass,
to the rest of the city can
be harrowing, as turning
left from Locust Drive onto
County Hwy. M is not for
the faint of heart. While the
city has taken preliminary
steps by lowering the speed
limit there and further east,
where Whalen Road crosses
into the New Age condominiums, those steps are
still barely more than window dressing.
He also alluded to the
large number of Epic
employees who would like
to bike to work, saying the
city is looking for ways to
encourage that. Certainly
the cost of additional connectivity in the bicycle/
pedestrian trail system
doesnt come close to the
pricetag of the massive
traffic improvements being
done over the next few
years on County PD, for
example.
Are there better ways
(to connect these neighborhoods)? Touchett asked.
Are there pedestrian paths
we should be looking at
creating?
AECOM, which employs

city engineer Bob Gundlach, was awarded the contract without a bid. Ald.
Jack Linder asked about the
bidding process, and city
administrator Bill Burns
replied that the committee looked favorably on
AECOMs familiarity with
the citys traffic system, as
it does most of the citys
traffic engineering.
The engineers will collect maps, facility information and other data, map out
potential routes, research
existing designs, tour and
photograph particular areas
and create reports (both
before and after meeting
with city officials) for up
to 10 projects, including
estimated cost and benefits. The initial study does
not include specific public
involvement.
Hearing avoided
The Heights event center
avoided a potential hearing
to not get its liquor license
renewed when the council
decided, a month later than
usual, to approve its application.
The application had been
delayed while the city and
the management worked
out problems that included delinquencies in its
accounts with distributors.
The company had indicated
in its application that it did
not have the delinquencies,
but a state audit disagreed.
Ald. Dale Yurs (D-2),
who heads the Public Safety and Welfare committee,
noted that there had been a
conversation earlier in the
evening to clear up any

confusion about the process for future years.
Water tower land
The council approved the

sale of a small strip of land
next to the citys oldest
water tower on West Verona
Avenue to the Caring Center
for use as parking.
The property has been discussed and negotiated since
last year, when comments
were made at a public works
committee meeting that the
cost of moving utility lines
and putting in a retaining
wall would be prohibitive,
in addition to the $12,000
sale price.
City public works director Ron Rieder told the Press
Monday that city staff gave
approval earlier this month
to start construction while
minor details were worked
out for the sale, and by the
time the sale was approved
Monday night, the retaining
wall was almost complete.
Rieder, answering a question from Ald. Brad Stiner,
said the city plans to expand
the service road leading to
the tower but it was already
planned and is therefore not
part of the price. The transaction includes making the
parking spaces open to the
public outside of business
hours.

School District superintendent Dean Gorrell

Fornetti faces felony OWI charge after incident in late June

A former Verona restaurateur faces his 5th felony
OWI charge after police
allege he drove under the
influence of alcohol in late
June.
Michael L. Fornetti, 45,
failed multiple field sobriety tests and was forced to
take a blood sample after
his arrest, according to a
criminal complaint filed in
Dane County Circuit Court.
Police investigated Fornetti twice in the same
night, according to the complaint, initially for departing from the VAC parking lot on Prairie Heights
Drive, driving as far as the
first stop sign traveling east
bound and then returning

to the parking lot. In that
instance, Fornetti denied
having driven, stating that a
friend had taken him to the
Draft House, on Enterprise
Drive.
However, police later
stopped the same silver
truck after they say it left
the parking lot on Prairie
Heights, traveling to Westminster Way before parking.
An officer approached
the truck and found Fornetti
in the passengers seat, with
no other occupants, telling
officers he was taking a nap
and not going anywhere.
Fornetti told officers he had

Fornetti was released on

If convicted on the charges, Fornetti faces a maximum of six years in prison

of several restaurants in
the Verona area, including managing Avanti Italian Restaurant for several

to create a positive culture

within the school, Kisting
said, adding that he sees
similar things in the culture at CKCS.
Two of Kistings children have attended CKCS
and a third will start kindergarten at the school this
year.
It kind of gives a new
meaning to parent-led
school, Gorrell joked.
Former CKCS director
Brett Stousland left the
school at the end of the
2014-15 school year to
become superintendent of
the Barneveld School District. He was hired for that
position in May, leaving
the district scrambling for
a replacement.
After no one initially
emerged from the candidate pool, the district was
set to hire Alice Murphy
as Interim director for the
year, but she backed out to
take a different position in
another school district.
Gorrell said at that time
the district would continue
looking for someone to fill
the position on an interim
basis, but Kisting will be
permanent.
We also had the
thought that if (a candidate) is really good and
worthwhile, lets keep
open to the thought they
could be the permanent
one, Gorrell told the
Press Tuesday.
Kisting had a quick
turnaround after interviewing Monday and
being hired the same
week. He began Monday,
July 27, and the school
board will formally act on
his hire Monday, Aug. 3.
Im very excited for the
next step,Kisting said.
Moving from an assistant
principal to a principal role
will be a learning curve
but Im very excited for

Especially Saturday evening

off to the Verona Chamber of
Commerce for taking a little risk

Hope this is something Verona

which helps to decrease the stress

hormones in the body.
The way I like to practice
gratitude is by making it a part of
my nightly routine. Every night,
either while brushing my teeth
or as I power everything down, I
think of at least three things from
the day Im grateful for.
They can be big things, like
the day my nephew was born,
or little things, like a delicious
cookie from lunch. I try not to
rank the things from that day or
tell myself that something is too
stupid to be grateful for.
Some people like to keep a
gratitude journal, where they
write down at least one a day and
then they have memories from
the whole year they can look
back on. Theres no wrong way
to do it.
That was an example of
expressing gratitude internally.
Expressing it outwardly is another way to do it perhaps writing
a letter to someone, e-mailing,
texting or telling that person face
to face. This is perhaps the hardest for some people to do.
Studies looking into the impact
of gratitude between people have
found that bosses who express
gratitude to their employees have
more productive employees, and
other studies show that expressing gratitude within couples
improved communication.
This all sounds like a lot of
effort on the part of the person
expressing these feelings, but to
be able to accept gratitude can be
difficult, too. In order to accept
someones gratitude, one has to
feel that he/she is worthy of that
gratitude.
Its a balancing act thats
similar to compliments. Some
people feel if they accept compliments, they will be seen as arrogant, or if they dont believe the
compliment, they must refute it.

Similarly, with gratitude, we
say things like it was nothing,
I dont deserve your thanks,
etc. When you can listen to
someones gratitude and accept
it, though, it, too, can change the
way you think and feel.
In full disclosure, there are
also studies that have been done
on gratitude that show theres no
benefit, that people who journal
their gratitude for several months
are not statistically happier than
those who didnt.
So maybe this easy, powerful
thing isnt guaranteed to change
your life. But whats the harm?
There are no side effects,
co-pays, nor blood monitoring,
and the benefits can better your
life. It could also help augment
exercise and other natural things
youre doing, or even medications.
So give it a shot.
For tonight, the night I wrote
this column, I have three gratitudes Id like to share with those
of you who have read my columns for the past two years (or
who are reading for the first
time).
First, thank you to the Verona
Press for this amazing opportunity to connect with so many
people.
Second, thank you, the reader,
for reading these articles whether
or not you agree with them or
believe in them. In this busy day
and age, I truly feel honored that
youve chosen to spend time
reading my words.
And finally, thank you to Verona for being a great hometown
and having countless opportunities to learn, grow and thrive.

ing Through
Technology conference
Aug. 20 at the University of
Wisconsin-La Crosse.
VASD director of technology Betty Wottreng
and personalized learning coaches Rita Mortenson and Laura Lindquist
will explain the districts
progress to teachers from
around the state and show
what personalized learning
can look like at different
levels. The address, titled
The Path to Personalizing
Learning: One Districts
Story, will cover the districts work since the school

board made personalized
learning a priority in 2013.
We are proud of the
work our district is doing,
and it is an honor to be
invited to share with other
districts, Wottreng wrote
in an email to the Press.
The three will also have a
chance to answer questions
from attendees and hear
what teachers from other
districts have done.
We believe there is great
value in sharing with other
educators, and we benefit
from other districts sharing
with us, Wottreng said.
Wottreng, Mortenson
and Lindquist are used to
talking about personalized
learning together, as the
three lead the districts 5

the technique.
The district was previously featured in the book,
Make Learning Personal:

Where and Why. The
authors of that book helped
create the 5 Ws course the
district runs today.

Q. Why Prune?
A. Pruning makes trees and shrubs more healthy and makes their
photosynthetic factory more efficient. Good pruning is a mixture of

knowledge, skill, science and art. Removing dead wood reduces
the amount of decay entering the tree. Thinning removes crossing
or interfering branches that compete for light. By selecting strong,
well spaced branches, a framework is developed for healthy, future
growth. Each species has a characteristic growth form that can be
accentuated with proper, artful technique.

Responders from 12 different departments were at Badger Ridge

Middle School for an active shooter training exercise Tuesday
afternoon. At least 85 emergency responders, including police and
EMS personnel, participated in the training, which Verona Police
Department Sgt. Matthew Dart said helps them learn from the
mistakes they make when a real situation comes along. The Verona
Area School District hosted a similar scale training last year at
Savanna Oaks Middle School and there was also a smaller scale
training earlier this month at Verona Area High School.

Envy is a Bitter Root

Perhaps nothing tears at the social fabric like envy.
Comparing ourselves to others will invariably make us
feel either arrogant and superior or bitter and inferior.
When we compare favorably to others were likely to
feel superior and therefore risk being arrogant, while
comparing unfavorably to others is likely to make us
bitter and feel dejected. Life is not a contest, and while
it is only normal to want to know how we did on the
test relative to other students, or how much we earn
relative to our colleagues, invariably we are not going
to be at the top of every list, or perhaps even at the
top of any list. Most of us are going to be bunched up
around the middle, and thats okay. Envy is not only a
root of bitterness at work and in school, but often also
within families. Sibling rivalry is natural, and competition can be a good thing, but many families have lasting scars from sibling rivalry that was taken too far,
and envious feelings often outlast childhood. So put
a check on your envy by avoiding unhealthy comparisons. Youre fine just the way you are.
Christopher Simon
For you created by innmost being; you knit me
together in my mothers womb, I praise you because
I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are
wonderful, I know that full well.

Ace sells market lamb

The 44th annual Meat Animal Sale was held at the Dane County Fair on Thursday,

Verona history
May
50 years ago
The debut issue of the
Verona Press was delivered to
every household in the village.
The village adopted its first
comprehensive plan, the result
of two years of work.
40 years ago
The teachers union walked
out of contentious negotiations
with the school district and
called for an outside mediator.
Teachers, seeking a 9 percent increase they felt was
more than reasonable, complained about the superintendents $26,000 salary. The
board, which was close on
the money, had problems with
non-monetary issues like just
cause, association rights and
class sizes.
Negotiations committee
chair Robert Paull said, if they
dont like our school system
here, maybe they should look
for the system they want to
work in.
A month after village
coordinator Harry Husted
resigned over picky politics,
Village President Burr Weiland
declared his final check
wouldnt be released until after
he paid a $2.65 library fine.
The board adjourned essentially in the middle of a shouting
match between Weiland and a
Trustee over items missing at
Village Hall they hoped Husted
would help them locate.
A small group of citizens
participated in a Public Safety
and Welfare discussion about
how to improve police protection in the village. Several
weeks earlier, 14 businesses
had been burglarized on the
same night.
Suggestions included more
back-door checks by police
and better precautions by busi-
nesses.
Several headstones, markers and other items at the
Verona cemetery were vandalized, and veterans groups
asked local citizens for information on getting them back
to their proper locations.
The Village Board had a
lively discussion over whether
citizens should be allowed to
speak at meetings and decided
to allow it as long as they
addressed the chair of the
meeting.
Kevin Hoffman, Craig
Rhiner and Howard Gust were
nominated to receive the State
Farmer Degree, the highest
degree presented by the state
FFA.
Larry Schmid and Betsy
Hamley were named prom
king and queen.
Led by Veronas Harland
Dahlk, the Dane County Towns
Association voted to dissolve
the Dane County Regional
Planning Commission, which
was in charge of allowing cities to expand their developable
territories.
The village purchased a
second police vehicle, a 1975
Chevrolet Bel Air for $3,462.
The Dane County Board
decided to publish its meeting minutes in 14 small-town
weekly newspapers. It no longer does that.
30 years ago
The Military Ridge State
Trail officially opened, five
years after the former rail line
shut down is railroad operations for good.
Parts of the 40-mile trail
from Fitchburg to Dodgeville
were not yet open, but it passed
through Veronas downtown.
The school board established a WIAA-sanctioned
boys swim team, answering

a plea delivered the month
before. The district had already
sanctioned a girls swim team
for several years.
The Verona Police
Department and the local
Explorers post fingerprinted
135 local children for safety
precautions. It was the third
year of the program, totaling
about 700 children fingerprinted overall.
Mayme Brost celebrated
her 90th birthday with her five
children, 20 grandchildren and
21 great-grandchildren at a
party at St. Andrew Parish.
She also got a card with a
presidential seal on it signed
by President Ronald Reagan
and Nancy Reagan.
After getting held up by an
odd technicality in federal regulations, Wisconsin Brick and
Block Corp got approval for a
$1 million bond that allowed
it to build a new factory on
Nesbitt Road in the Town of
Verona.
Keith Miller, proprietor of
Miller and Sons and former fire
chief, received a meritorious
service award from the U.S.
Small Business Administration,
noting his many years of community service and business
leadership.
Michelle Dziak landed a
state record triple jump of 37
feet, 6.5 inches at the Mount
Horeb Invitational track meet.
20 years ago
Charter schools got the
official go-ahead from the
school board, shortly after they
were authorized by the state.
The districts first elementary school charter, among
the first in the state, would
become New Century School
and would open that fall.
Despite an electoral change

in the school board that some
thought would ease tensions,
the new group started off on an
angry note with a discussion of
Outcome Based Education.
The district had been holding off on the implementation
of the model, which members
admitted they hadnt really
defined yet. President Bush had
put the plan in place nationally
the year before, with standards
to be set by states, and it was
eventually replaced by No Child
Left Behind, in 2001.
Eight VAHS students
earned honors at the state
Honors Music project, which
put them among 350 students
who took part in a three-day
specialized course and put
on two concerts. They were:
Stephen Nickels, Amber
Sparks, Anthony Georgeson,
Autumn Pincus, Sarah Paar,
Alex Grahmann, Ellie Perelman
and Alisa Rose.
The city adopted a resolution supporting a project
to connect Badger Prairie
County Park with the Ice Age
and Military Ridge trails. The
plan required $45,000 to
help the county convert private lands north of the city
into park land and included
Reddan Soccer Park, for which
it got a $105,000 contribution
from the Madison Area Youth
Soccer Association.
A group of area residents
dedicated a marker in front
of the old, forgotten Badger
Prairie Health Care Center
cemetery along East Verona
Avenue. The plaque has since
been installed on a stone
marker, noting the burial place
of many people whose grave
stones had long since been
removed.
The mother of Ryan
Goldsmith, who had died two

months earlier at 17 in a onevehicle crash, filed a $150,000
suit against the Fitchburg convenience store that sold him
alcohol. She hoped to have
any payments donated to the
trauma center where he was
treated.
Another teen who had been
in an alcohol-related crash,
Brian Gerke, returned home
from the hospital more than
two months after suffering
severe head injuries, broken
ribs and a collapsed lung.
Max and Pat Arthur were
honored by state legislators
for their work in the healthcare
field shortly after retiring from
many years in charge of Four
Winds Manor. Max had been
an administrator since 1973,
Pat started there in 1967, and
the couple purchased it in
1975.
The city hired consultant
Stephen Hintz to determine
whether it should create an
administrator position. It eventually did, hiring Larry Saeger
in 1998, and Hintz participated
in the next two searches.
The fire department
burned down an old barn on
the Burgenske land at the corner of County M and Cross
Country to make way for what
would become the Prairie Oaks
shopping center.
10 years ago
The city annexed the
Thompson and Erbach properties on the west end of the city
with a plan to build commercial and residential properties
there.
After years of debates and
plans on the Thompson property, now known as the West
End, large parts of both are
in the process of being pur-
chased by the school district

for a new high school campus.
The school district
approved a $200,000 geothermal heating and cooling
system for the planned new
elementary school on the
southeast side of the city, now
known as Glacier Edge.
The school district settled
on new attendance boundaries
for Country View and Sugar
Creek elementary schools,
part of the planning for the
new elementary school, which
wouldnt be finished for another year. It included a grandfather clause to allow families
in Cross Country Heights to
choose their school.
Veronas Jessi Rieder
signed on for a second season
as a production assistant with
her favorite TV show, The
West Wing, something that
came about after an interview with Madisons Bradley
Whitford, a star of the show.
Now going by Jessica Grasi,
she has since worked on
Leverage, Hawaii Five-0,
White Collar, and is now a
producer for TNTs Proof.
The girls track team sent
four individuals and a relay
team to state. The boys team
sent senior Dave Aguilar in
the 300 hurdles and two relay
teams.
Veronas girls soccer team
outscored its first two postseason opponents 14-0.
Sugar Creek Elementary
students recorded a CD with
the help of artist-in-residence
Stuart Stotts.
Running out of room for
storage, the fire department
put its 1927 engine up for sale.
The Verona skatepark held
its third annual competition.

Fulbright: Berlin serves as great research location

Cassie Olien overlooks part of Germany, where she will study in the fall on a
Fulbright Scholarship.
from a party one night, but we just

really got caught up talking and
had this passionate conversation
about all things political and all
things, she said. We spoke for
like an hour after, he turned off the
meter.
When she tried to give him a
larger tip, he refused, she said.
He was like, No, youre an
exceptional person, you need
to write a book or teach, she
recalled. I was like, Ill do
both.
Olien said always had an eye
toward graduate school and travel,
so as soon as she graduated from
UW-Madison in 2010, she moved
to Berlin for one year before
applying to Northwestern University, where she received admittance quickly.
But going to school in Evanston did not kept her from visiting
Its like one person

with 20 people standing
behind them.

Cassie Olien
whats become a center for her

in Berlin every summer.
Not only is Berlin a really good
place for my research and my dissertation, but its also somewhere I
really feel at home and have felt at
home since 2010, she said.
She said Berlins art culture,
which includes graffiti all around
the city, is great for studying art
history and expression.
Olien hopes to finish her Ph.D.
in two or three years, with a goal
to study in Paris after her time
in Berlin, which will end next
July. After that, she said her ideal
would be going back to Berlin and
curating at a museum or teaching

at a small liberal arts college.
She found delivering the exciting news that she had gotten the
scholarship to be a bit of a challenge.
Shes been in London studying
most of the year, and when she got
home after a long day and saw the
email, she was freaking out and
called her mom in Fitchburg to let
her know.
I was crying so hard because
I was really, really happy and
I couldnt say anything and she
thought Id been mugged, Olien
recalled. Then I kind of got out
the words, and she was relaxed
after that.

4. Public Comment:
* The following spoke in opposition
to Item 9. A. (9) Planned Unit Development Concept Plan for Candinas: Chris
Barry & Anya Holland-Barry residing
at 908 Forest View Drive, Doug Jensen
residing at 904 Forest View Drive, Adam
Beach residing at 900 Forest View Drive,
Andrew Frank-Loron residing at 432 Glacier Ridge Trail, Steve Hampton residing
at 436 Glacier Ridge Trial, statements
were read from Dana & Eric Borgerding
residing at 325 Glacier Ridge Trail and
Julie and Mike Fuller residing at 912 Forest View Drive. The concerns expressed
were:
o The proposed apartments, and

their height, density, and proximity to
existing single-family homes
o Traffic concerns due to the apartments and proposed coffee shop
o Increased noise and light in the
neighborhood as a result of the proposal
o The destruction of the existing
wildlife and nature area
o The project would detract from
the look and feel of the existing neighborhood
* Markus Candinas, the applicant of
Item 9. A. (9) addressed the individuals
that spoke in opposition to the proposal.
Mr. Candinas stated that the intention
of the project is to bring business that
will fit in the area and are residentialfriendly businesses. He stated that is
open to comments on the proposal and
feedback from the neighborhood as they
move forward with a plan for this site.
* The following spoke in opposition
to Item 9. A. (2.) Resolution R-15-031
Approving a Conditional Use Permit to
Allow an Indoor Commercial Entertainment Land Use at 807 Liberty Drive: Lisa
Clasen residing at 921 Hemlock Drive,
Pat McPartland residing at 6681 Sunset
Drive in the Town of Verona, Nanette
Fenzau residing at 606 Green Meadow
Drive, Lindsay Pelletier residing at 736
Grace Street, and Dakota Downing residing at 7226 Lane in Madison. The
concerns raised were:
o The images of scantily dressed
women on their website and Facebook
page
o The business images that appear
to objectify women and be derogatory
towards women
o Concerns regarding what employees would wear and what women may be
dressed like for flapper night
o Private parties that would be held
at the distillery
o Potential images of scantily
dressed women on marketing materials
o The name jezebel has a negative
and sexual connotation
o Lack of detailed information on
the operations and nature of the business
o Questions regarding membership
and membership privileges
o The hours of the business
o The type of people this would
attract with the images that have been
portrayed on their website
o How is this business regulated,
since the distillery permit is approved
through the State not the City of Verona
* Mark Jawson of Wicked Jezebel
Craft Distillery addressed some of the
concerns raised. He began by saying
the name Wicked Jezebels Bootleg
Distillery passed through the federal
and state labeling regulations but they
would be willing to reconsider the name
if necessary. However, the main priority
of the business is to run a successful
distillery. Marketing materials would be
geared towards their products. Flapper
nights would fit with the theme and style
of the distillery/speakeasy tasting room.
It is not intended to provoke inappropriate attire and would be a fun event for
individuals to visit the distillery. Private
parties would be for specialty cocktails
for businesses that would sell the distillerys products. Membership fits with
the speakeasy theme and would include
product discounts and being among the
first to taste new products.
* Mike Goetz residing at 673 Harvest Lane, (Mr. Goetz also serves on the
Plan Commission) spoke first regarding
the distillery. Mr. Goetz stated that he is
in favor of the distillery as it conforms
to the Citys zoning and the applicant
successfully completed the Conditional
Use Permit application process. He
does not find the name or the artwork
obscene especially in comparison to
what the public is bombarded with on a
daily basis. Mr. Goetz stated that there
is no legitimate basis under the Citys
zoning ordinance for denying the applicants Conditional Use Permit. Also
on tonights agenda include Conditional
Use Permits for three other establishments in the same area for: Sugar River
Pizza, Hyatt Place Hotel, and in the near
future a banquet center next to the hotel.
All three of these businesses will serve
alcohol and no one voicing opposition
to the Wicked Jezebel Bootleg Distillery
voiced any opposition for these venues
or stayed for the Public Hearings at Plan
Commission. Mr. Goetz mentioned that
denying the CUP for the Wicked Jezebel Bootleg Distillery would violate 1st
amendment rights and free enterprise
rights.
Mr. Goetz then raised a point of order for consideration in regards to the
Public Comment portion of meetings. He
stated that he is for open government
but has concerns regarding the ability
for individuals to read other persons
comments that are not present and how
this could lead to a filibuster situation.
5. Approval of Minutes: Motion by
Yurs, seconded by Reekie to approve
the minutes of the June 22, 2015 Common Council meeting. Motion carried
6/0.

9. COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. Plan Commission
(1) Discussion and Possible Action Re: Resolution R-15-030 Approving an Extraterritorial Certified Survey
Map to Create Two (2) Lots Located at
2645 Country View Road in the Town of
Verona. Motion by Linder, seconded by
Reekie to approve Resolution R-15-030.
Motion carried 5/0 with Ald. Diaz abstaining.
(2) Discussion and Possible Action Re: Resolution R-15-031 Approving a Conditional Use Permit to Allow
an Indoor Commercial Entertainment
Land Use at 807 Liberty Drive. Motion
by Stiner to table the item until the Department of Revenue responds with the
application status, (as distillery permits
are issued through the State). The Motion died with no second. Ald. Touchett
asked: where is this business located
in relation to the other businesses? Mr.
Sayre responded that it would be the
first flex building constructed on the
East side of Liberty Drive, closest to
County Highway M. Next to it would be
the Martial Arts studio and in the same
building there is KSW Construction,
Budget Blinds, and Commercial Recreation Specialists. Ald. Linder questioned
the applicant on changing the name as
he mentioned was a possibility earlier
in the evening. Mark Jawson responded
that they would be open to it for the
greater good of the community, even
though they spent a lot of money into
the investigation and creative planning
of the current name. Mr. Sayre noted
that asking the applicant to change their
name is a restriction on content and
freedom of speech and would strongly
advise the Council against that action.
Doing so could result in future legal issues. Ald. Yurs asked the applicant to
briefly go over the business plan. Mr.
Jawson explained that this is a craft
distillery, similar to others in the area,
(following other craft alcohol trends
such as breweries). This is a chefs style
approach to spirits which would include
honey whiskey, vodka, gin, Wisconsin
brandy, and a Verona limoncello. There
would be a tasting room and liquor available to purchase at the distillery along
with hot sauces and salsas. Ald. Linder
asked what the outside of the building
would look like. Mr. Jawson said that
you will be able to see the copper still
and there will be signage on the side of
the building, nothing racy. Ald. Touchett
is in favor of distillery but does have
some personal feelings on the images
linked to it. He struggles with location
of the distillery being right next to the
Martial Arts facility where a number
of children will be. Ald. Linder stated
that he has no location concerns or
concerns with the outside look of the
building as he previously had. Motion
by Linder, seconded by Diaz to approve
Resolution R-15-031. Ald. Diaz is fine
with either name as that should be the
applicants choice with what works best
for their business, but he is not a fan of
the marketing as projected with the images that are on the Facebook page. Ald.
Diaz likes the idea of the distillery and
using local ingredients. Ald. Stiner has
licensing concerns and wonders whose
name is on the license? Mr. Jawson responded that Jean Anderson will be the
license holder as she could be the first
female distiller and is very talented in
what she does. Ald. Reekie asked if they
would consider changing the imagery of
their marketing. Mr. Jawson explained
that there is not a lot of that imagery
in the marketing component or on the
spirits. There will not be signs with such
imagery of women at the business. Ald.
Reekie asked for further clarification on
the private parties. Mr. Jawson stated
that they would be for businesses or
retailers to sell and for tastings. A vote
on the Motion was taken and the Motion
carried 4/2 with Ald. Touchett and Ald.
Stiner voting no.
(3) Discussion and Possible Action Re: Resolution R-15-032 Approving a Conditional Use Permit to Allow
Land Use at 957 Liberty Drive. Motion by
Linder, seconded by Reekie to approve
Resolution R-15-032 with the conditions
listed in the Resolution . Motion carried
6/0.
(4) Discussion and Possible Action
Re: Resolution R-15-033 Approving a
Conditional Use Permit to Allow a Multiplex Land Use to be Located at 949 Hemlock Drive. Motion by Linder, seconded
by Reekie to approve Resolution R-15033. Motion by Diaz to amend the Main
Motion and require sidewalks as part of
the development seconded by Linder.
Mr. Sayre explained the equity issue of
requiring sidewalks as we have not required them of developers in the area
previously. Mr. Touchett stated he was
in opposition to the requirement of the
sidewalks because of the equity issue. A
vote was taken on the Amendment to the
Main Motion, the Amendment to the Motion carried 5/1 with Ald. Touchett voting
no. The Motion as amended carried 6/0.
(5) Discussion and Possible Action Re: Resolution R-15-034 Approv-
ing a Conditional Use Permit to Allow

Land Use at 710 East Verona Avenue.
Motion by Linder, seconded by Reekie
to approve Resolution R-15-034 with the
included conditions listed in the Resolution. Motion carried 5/1 with Ald. Diaz
voting no.
Conditional Use Permit to Allow a Certified Survey Map to Create Four (4) Lots
that will have Lot Sizes Smaller than
One (1) Acre Located at 710 East Verona
Avenue. Motion by Linder, seconded by
Reekie to approve Resolution R-15-035
with the conditions listed in the resolution. Motion carried 5/1 with Ald. Diaz
voting no.
Conditional Use Permit to Allow for the
Construction of a 65-Foot Tall Hotel to
be Located at 846 Liberty Drive. Motion
by Linder, seconded by Reekie to approve the Resolution with the 8 eight
conditions listed in the Resolution. Motion carried 6/0.
Certified Survey Map to Subdivide Lots
14, 15, 16, and 17 of the Liberty Business
Park Plat into Three (3) Lots. Motion by
Linder, seconded by Reekie to approve
Resolution R-15-037. Motion carried 6/0.
(9) Discussion Re: Planned Unit
Development Concept Plan for Candinas Located at 2435 Old CTH PB in
the Town of Verona. Ald. Diaz asked if
City resources are going to this development. Mr. Sayre responded that it is
unlikely at this time. Ald. Diaz stated
that if the apartments stay in the proposal could the applicant put up a berm
to hide from neighborhood and he also
stated that the drive-thru for the coffee
shop is something he would prefer is
changed. He also stated that the City
needs to communicate better with residents that apartments could always be a
potential regardless of zoning. Mr. Sayre
reminded everyone that this property is
in the Town of Verona and the C1 zoning
is in the Town and we did not identify a
plan for this property. Ald. Stiner asked
if this requires an annexation petition.
Mr. Sayre responded, not at this point.
Ald. Stiner is not in favor of apartments
on this site but likes the other ideas for
the site. Ald. Yurs is in favor of the commercial components but would like to
see the applicant reach out to neighborhood for feedback. Ald. Reekie agrees
with Ald. Yurs and asks how this can
be made walkable from other neighborhoods. She also has concerns regarding wildlife destruction and impermeable surfaces. Ald. Reekie asked if it is
possible to remove the apartments, or
propose something with fewer units.
Markus Candinas addressed the questions from Ald. Reekie that potential
road improvements could be made and
they could develop or widen paths for
walkability. They will try to keep the
trees they can and will plant new trees
but they do need parking and vehicle
access on the site. Mr. Candinas said
that he cannot answer the question of
removing apartments at this time; there
is a demand for them, and they fit in
the proximity to the neighborhood. This
item was discussion only, and no action
was taken.
(10) Discussion and Possible Action Re: Ordinance No. 15-862 Repealing and Recreating Sections of the City
of Verona Zoning Ordinance Relating
to the Minimum Paved Surface Setback
for Residential Land Uses. Motion by
Linder, seconded by Yurs to approve Ordinance 15-862. Motion carried 6/0.
(11) Discussion and Possible Action Re: Resolution R-15-038 Finding
that the Expansion of the Verona Urban
Service Area to Include 457 Acres of
Land on the North and South Sides of
the City is Consistent with the Verona
Comprehensive Plan and Directing Staff
to Submit a Request to Expand the Verona Urban Service Area to Include Said
Lands. Motion by Linder, seconded by
Touchett to approve Resolution R-15038. Motion carried 6/0.
B. Finance Committee
(1) Discussion and Possible Action Re: Payment of Bills. Motion by
Linder, seconded by Diaz to approve
the payment of bills in the amount of
$1,317,479.96. Motion carried 6/0.
10. New Business
Re: Approval of Operator Licenses from
Alexander Nolen & Jessica Schluter
at Wisconsin Brewing Company; Brogan Engelkens at Cahoots; and Robert
Schaefer as an Independent. Motion by
Touchett, seconded by Yurs to approve
the operator licenses. Motion Carried
6/0.
11. Announcements:
12. Adjournment
Motion by Yurs, seconded by
Touchett to adjourn the meeting at 9:51
p.m. Motion carried 6/0.

Grades: Return of A-F scale brings consistency back to Verona Area School District
Continued from page 1
enough to them so they can
trust it.
Along with the letter grades will be a new
level of standards-based
achievement, exceeds
mastery. She said that
change, as well as the
return of the A-F scale,
was a response to parents
who worried their children
were achievement-motivated learners.
For some students,
mastery doesnt motivate
them, she said. There are
parents who feel that their
students are motivated by
getting an A, or working
for an A.
But she emphasized that
the return
of letter
grades does
not change
the schools
focus on
ensuring
students
s e t p e r - Eskrich
sonal goals
and monitor
their progress in a more
detailed way than a letter
can communicate.
I dont know that were
changing what were
doing, but were offering
a few additions to make
the parents who were
I dont know that were changing what

were doing, but were offering a few
additions to make the parents who were
uncomfortable with it more comfortable.
Sandy Eskrich,
Savanna Oaks principal
uncomfortable with it more
comfortable, she said.
The letter grades will be
based on the students level of mastery throughout a
term, Eskrich wrote in an
email.
At the end of the grading period, if the student
has primarily Mastery
ratings, he/she would likely be granted a letter grade

of B, she wrote. This
does two things, allows
parents who want a quick
and familiar look at a grade
report to get some information and it allows all
three middle schools in the
VASD to continue to share
grades in the traditional

sense.
That link is a goal shared
by the districts director
of curriculum and assessment, Ann Franke.
(Grading and reporting)
really should be something
we do as a district, not siteby-site, she said at a July
1 curriculum, instruction
and assessment committee
meeting. It doesnt make
sense for a district.
That consistency is likely to be a key factor in an
upcoming middle school
study that has been discussed at recent CIA committee meetings.
Its the idea of bringing
a team together, both middle schools, to talk about

what does middle school
look like in the Verona
Area School District?
Franke said at the July 1
meeting. That encompasses quite a bit.
Beyond the grading systems, that includes instructional minutes in different
subjects, something director of bilingual programs
and instructional equity
Laurie Burgos brought up
at that same meeting.
Franke said such a study
would be a long process,
but it is possible it would
start sometime next school
year.
