Our long me board member, Ted Blazel, is “re ring” from his role in planning this event.

One issue recently was the car break-ins and bicycle the s along Spicebush. Please remember to lock your cars at night, close your garage doors and turn on any outdoor lights to help dissuade intruders. Try not to leave valuables in your cars that would catch a thief’s a en on. Most people who break into cars first look into them to see if there’s anything of value and if it’s easily removable. Another long term problem is the speeding cars through the neighborhood. If you do see any vehicles speeding through the area try as best you can to get the license plate number. The police can do follow up on any license plates that are reported. 2013-2014 HERITOR ADVERTISING RATES AD SIZE: Quarter-page (4 7/8” x 3 ¾”) Please note that Officer Johnson will join us at our next Board Mee ng on Tuesday, September 10th at 6:30pm to answer any ques ons.

Just having a patrol car drive through the area pushes juveniles out of the area that are looking to break into cars.

RevisitingtheMerryturnSpeedBumps Submi ed by Harley Schmidt In my new posi on as Membership and Block Captain Coordinator I have been contac ng residents about becoming ac ve again with our neighborhood associa on. I have spoken to several residents that openly shared that they do not support the HHCA due to the speed bump decision that was made over two years ago. In my efforts to persuade those folks to reconsider I have done some research and wrote this to help clear up the confusion and misinforma on about the speed bumps. I have walked Merryturn Road for thirteen years and I have personally experienced how Merryturn suffered from speeders. It is the back way to East Towne Mall and although it is considered a residenal 25mph speed limit, many were regularly going over 40 mph down the street. The Board of Directors at the me received numerous complaints from residents who lived on Merryturn. I was on the Board at the me so I was very much involved in the process that followed. We tried different things to try to get traffic to slow to acceptable speeds. We used Slow-Down Signs and Watch for Kids signs and asked for addi onal police presence. This did not work. We discussed other op ons such as stop signs and rumble stops also which led to us contac ng the city for help. With the help of Alder Lauren Cnare, the Board convinced the Madison Traffic Engineering Department to come out and make a study of traffic on the street. They found that there was excessive speeding to the point of being considered a “high risk” area. Then every house of Merryturn was no fied by mail, along with it being published in the Heritor and Lauren Cnare’s website that a mee ng was to be held. The mee ng was held on March 17th, 2011 at the East Madison Police Sta on. A Madison Engineer was there and explained why the speed bumps should be installed and asked for support of the neighborhood. Many a ended the large mee ng and the vote was won by a large majority. The decision was made by the voters present at the mee ng, not the Heritage Heights Community Associa on Board. I have discussed this with several people currently living on Merryturn that said that the speed bumps have been successful in reducing speed. The bo om line is that the speed bumps have con nued to keep Heritage Heights safe for pedestrians, bikers and children and there have not been any injuries due to speeding or anyone killed since they were installed. If you are no longer a member due to the speed bumps, I ask you to please reconsider. The HHCA is not cause for the decision. Thank you. 6 Heritage Heights Community Newsle er COMMUNITYNEWS Government Representatives City Alderperson & City Council President Lauren Cnare, District 3 235-9179 / [email protected] Dane County Supervisor Jeff Pertl, District 17 772-2907 / [email protected] Dane County Executive Joe Parisi 266-4114 / [email protected] FROM ALDER LAUREN CNARE District 3 is on the verge of hosting its first TID – Tax Incremental District – courtesy of the new plan and redevelopment opportunities at the old Royster Clark site. TIF is a common tool used across the country. Madison uses tax incremental financed (TIF) districts to kickstart revitalization of blighted and stagnant areas of the city. All of ours are successful, paying back and closing with significant revitalization in less than the legal 27-year lifespan. It’s quite the complex tool, but here are the basics: First an area is identified for redevelopment either by the city, or a developer has a proposal. It’s usually an area that the private sector is not picking up for a variety of reasons, including unaffordable costs to redevelop and significant infrastructure needs. The idea is that one or two major projects “generate” value themselves to increase tax base and also revitalize a larger area adding more tax value. During the life of the district, the taxes for the area are held steady at their current rate – usually not very much since the area has low assessed value – and public dollars are invested in infrastructure and loans are made to development that meets very specific criteria. State Representative Melissa Sargent, 48th Assembly District 266-5342 /[email protected] As the area improves, its assessed value increases, but instead of distributing the tax dollars to all taxing entities and city-wide, the dollars are invested right back into the district, continuing the growth for no more than 27 years when the district must close and return fully to the tax rolls. TID #44 Royster Clark is in the works right now. It generally runs along Cottage Grove Rd. from Monona Dr. to Flora. For District 3, it encompasses properties designated as blighted that we all notice on our daily drive/walk/bike including the “Pink Palace”, some aging apartment homes, and some aging shopping area. These properties are in no danger of condemnation or other actions, it simply means they contributed to the legal designation of blight that allows a TID to be created. A major benefit to everyone is the reconstruction of portions of Cottage Grove Rd., including a complete overhaul to the intersection of Dempsey and Cottage Grove Rd. to improve entrance and exit to all the new development on the old Royster Clark site. City staff expect $43M in new value over the expected 14 year life of the district. At the close, all that new assessed value is put into the city, school district and Madison College tax base. The TID must be approved by all taxing jurisdictions including the Madison Common Council, Dane County, the school district and Madison College, so this proposal is just in the starting gate. But, it’s clear the area needs a jumpstart and TIF is an effective and safe way to get it going. A map of the proposed area is on the District 3 website at: http://www.cityofmadison.com/council/district3/ What is Nextdoor.com? Nextdoor is the free and private social network for neighborhoods. On Nextdoor, neighbors create private websites for their neighborhoods where they can ask ques ons, get to know oneanother, and exchange local advice and recommendaons. The local communi es of Rolling Meadows, Grandview Commons, Elvehjem, and Heritage Heights all have pages with Nextdoor.com. Recent examples of topics covered on the Heritage Heights Nextdoor.com page: Fourteen responses for local den st recommenda ons; Neighborhood restaurant reviews Residents looking for other people to play tennis with, go biking with Shared reports of the from cars on Spicebush Lane and Retana Lost dog, lost keys, found bike; Items for sale; Plants to give away Neighborhood day care openings and other small businesses Fall Issue 7 PARKSANDGARDENS What is the best way to get a better lawn?

Laura Jirsa Dille, who will be in the Wisconsin master gardener program next semester, volunteered to plant shrubs and flowers around both signs. She has maintained the areas, weeding, adding mulch and watering throughout the summer. A big thank you to Joe, Laura, and all the neighbors involved in ge ng and maintaining the signs and plan ngs. The signs are a wonderful addi on to our neighborhood! Laura has also requested and received permission from the city for the adopt-a-median program. Laura and the HHCA Parks and Garden Commi ee have chosen the median on Co age Grove Rd between Meadowlark Dr and Inwood Way. Now that we have approval the next step is to submit a garden plan for the city’s approval. Laura is working on plans and hopes to start plan ng this fall.
