Master Site plan and/or site plan illustrating exact dimensions and number of parcels for the specific site being submitted for certification

• Minimum of 20 contiguous developable acres

• 32.6 acres of contiguous buildable land centrally located over a 56.79 gross-acre site
• 1.52-acre environmental corridor bisects western-most portion of the site
• 11.75-acre environmental corridor encroaches upon large swath of southeastern portion of the site
• Ongoing endangered resources review (as of June 2015) has the potential to identify a section of the eastern-northeastern corner of the site as a protected bird species habitat. If the ongoing study does determine that this is indeed a protected habitat, that would require a buffer area to be established around the habitat that would diminish the buildable acreage on the central section of the site to no less than 22.2 acres.

Ownership – entire site must be wholly controlled by a single owner with documented willingness to sell to an industrial user

• Certificate of title
• Letter from property owner/option holder stating that site is for sale/lease

• Certificate of title submitted; owned by North Mendota Energy and Technology Park
• Site is being actively marketed to industrial prospective users.
• Westport has a 25-year agreement with the Village of Waunakee that the site is fully located in Westport.

Asking price – current asking price for sale or lease of the land must be indicated

• Documentation of asking price on a per-acre basis

• Asking sale price: $196,000 per acre ($4.50 per sq ft)

• Topo map submitted illustrating 1’ contour intervals
• 10’ elevation change across site – gently rolling but predominantly flat
• Click here for more topographical information

Easements – site not intersected by utility or any other easement that would prevent development of 20 contiguous acres of the site

• Maps of all utility infrastructure directly proximate to (or intersecting) the site

• Maps of all utility infrastructure provided
• Sanitary sewer line bisects the western and southern portions of the site – runs within the environmental corridor on the western portion and then cuts east-west across the southern-central portion of the site
• 32.6-acre buildable acreage calculated is all north of the east-west segment of the sanitary sewer line; corresponding easement permits access drive to bisect this east-west segment of the sanitary sewer line, which is between 11’-15’ below ground surface as indicated in the “Information on Sanitary Line at North Mendota Energy and Technology Park” developed by Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District

Wetlands – demonstrate that a user can utilize 20 contiguous acres that are not affected by wetlands

• Wetlands delineation report conducted on the site, demonstrating that impacts to protected waters will be avoided (or approved mitigation plans)

• New delineation report completed in May 2015; across the 56.79 gross-acre site, there are 12.05 acres of delineated wetland on SE corner of the site and 0.59 acres of delineated wetland traversing north-south across the western quarter of site
• Previous delineation completed in 2011; across the 56.79 gross-acre site, there were 11.75 acres of delineated wetland on SE corner of the site and 1.52 acres of delineated wetland traversing north-south across the western quarter of site

Environmental assessment – no known environmental impediments to immediate industrial development

• Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was completed in April 2015. The study revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property.

Geotechnical – minimum of five soil borings (for 20-acre site); no presence of sink holes or limestone caves; suitable water content/water table depth

• Eighteen borings discovered clay through 7’ followed by sand with some boulders.
• Water table varies from 3’ to 9.5’ and rose to 2’ in monitored boring wells. This may require pre-development dewatering and limits potential to infiltrate storm water.
• Maximum bearing pressure is 3,000 psf

Archaeological/historical – No known archaeological/historical impediments to immediate industrial development

Cultural resources review completed in April 2015 identified no cultural resources in the project area and references two detailed Phase I evaluations of the site area, which identified and thoroughly evaluated three recorded archaeological sites on the property.

• These Phase I site surveys arrived at the determination that these were the only sites of potential cultural/historical significance and that they do not contribute to further understanding of the prehistory of the area and no further evaluation is recommended.

Endangered species – no known impediments to immediate industrial development related to endangered species

• Endangered resources review completed in April 2015 – identified a potentially suitable habitat for the Henslow’s Sparrow in the area located in the northeast corner of the property and extending down the eastern boundary to the wetland area
• The report communicates requirements involving avoidance of disturbance to the relevant area from May through August or having a qualified biologist conduct surveys to determine if the Helsow’s Sparrow is present. Should the survey determine that the bird species is present, that would require a buffer area to be established around the habitat that would diminish the buildable acreage on the central section of the site to no less than 22.2 acres, which is still above the minimum requirement for the Wisconsin Certified Sites program.
