TODAY’S AGENDA
City of Fitchburg, WISAA Design Group + Teska
+Montgomery
North Stoner Prairie will be a vibrant, stable, and economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable neighborhood that is home to a diverse range of uses, from an employment center to housing to neighborhood schools. Through protecting natural resources, bikeways and open spaces, North Stoner will set an example for respecting water resources and the environment while promoting jobs and economic development. The North Stoner Neighborhood offers a transition between the urbanized area of the City of Fitchburg and agricultural resources to the south. It will offer a connection to nature, community gardens and agriculture, while creating a safe, walkable neighborhood to enjoy access to schools, parks, neighborhood services and employment.

OPTION 1: DETAIN IN NSPN & PUMP
West of Badger Trail• Conventional
industrial development
• 8-10 ac for stormwater BMPs
• 45-50 ac flood prone (overflow to south possible)
• 55-60 ac total for stormwater
• Regular pumping to drain (over weeks or months)
West of Badger Trail• Require no increase in runoff
vs. existing conditions• 20-25 ac for stormwater
BMPs• ~ 40 ac flood prone• ~ 60 - 65 ac total for
stormwater• Emergency pumping possible
(e.g. high groundwater periods)

OPTION 2: LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT
Early farmstead ruins

OPTION 2: LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT
?
Existing depression only 1 ft lower - minor change in NSPN water level.
May need to pump excess water.
Could excavate storage.
Potential limited by flat grades & shallow groundwater.
May need to pump excess water.

NEIGHBORHOOD LISTENING SESSION – APRIL 2
Open floor for neighbors to voice concerns
Central Issue: TRUST. Are we listening?
Three Core “Mechanical” Issues:
Increased traffic and Scarlett and Persimmon connectivity
Water in yards and basements
Density and character of residential development adjacent to existing
neighborhood
Dialogue - address concerns and build trust
City of Fitchburg, WISAA Design Group + Teska
+Montgomery
Protect water resources and create adequate buffers and stormwater practices to eliminate water issues from encroaching into existing residential areas
Expand trails to create a network of walking andbiking paths and protect existing pedestrian ways and bikeways
Support industrial development west of the BadgerState Trail
Extend the character of business services betweenSeminole Highway and Badger State Trail and seek outuses that can reinforce the transition to rurallandscapes
Support high quality design of residential development that complements the density, characterand scale of nearby residences
Prevent direct cut-through routes that could addvehicular traffic and pedestrian and bicycle conflictson existing and adjoining residential streets
