RE:
Madison College Downtown Campus Heating System Evaluation
Project 14143AA
Dear John,
The purpose of this letter is to describe the reasoning behind our recommendation to replace
the existing steam heating system with a new, more efficient, hot water heating system.
The existing steam heating system is inefficient, has regular failures, and will require significant
investment in the near future to maintain. The feedwater pumps regularly fail. The steam
header piping is pitched incorrectly, which causes condensate to completely fill a boiler that is
off. The standby boilers are unable to operate correctly until some of this water is manually
drained out. The feedwater tank has leaked and been re-welded several times. Each year,
many boiler tubes need to be replaced because of failures. The condensate return piping is
original and the bottom of the pipes have a deep groove that is almost all of the way through
the piping from all of the years of the hot condensate trickling through these pipes. Most
isolation valves do not hold, therefore the whole steam system must be shut down to make any
repairs. This regularly occurs when steam coils in unit ventilators freeze and then burst. There
are over 500 steam traps in this system that require maintenance every few years.
It is our opinion that this entire system, including the distribution piping and terminal devices, is
at the end of its useful life. Continuing to operate this existing system will require significant
investment in the near future. Since Madison College must design to a minimum of LEED Silver,
we strongly recommend that the new system be designed to utilize low temperature hot water
served from high efficiency condensing hot water boilers, and utilize a small heat recovery
chiller sized for the summer reheat load. This new system would be very similar to the heating
system at the main Truax campus. That system’s efficiency is well documented, and it would
be easier for the maintenance staff and for stocking parts if some of the main components were
common with the other facilities.

Madison College DTEC Heating System Evaluation
Project 14143AA
Page 2 of 2
April 16, 2015
This facility uses approximately 130,000 therms of natural gas per year. We regularly see a
30% reduction in natural gas usage when replacing a high temperature hot water boiler to low
temperature condensing hot water boilers. Since this steam system is much less efficient than
a high temperature hot water boiler system, we believe the reduction in natural gas usage will
be closer to 40%. With natural gas costs at about $0.70 per therm, that is a reduction of
$36,400 per year in heating costs. There will be significant reduction in the man hours needed
to maintain a new hot water system, as well as a significant reduction in repair parts costs.
I am happy to discuss this topic with you, and provide additional detailed information as
needed.
Sincerely,
Brian J. Basken, P.E.

Madison College
FROM:
John P. Starkweather
CC:
William L. Fahey
DATE:
May 4, 2015
RE:
Block 82, Carroll Street, Madison, WI
Madison College is considering a sale of the referenced property. At your request, I
sought to identify any issues, other than those shown on record title, that might have to
be addressed in connection with a possible sale. You gave us permission to contact the
City of Madison. I spoke to Don Marx, Manager of Real Estate, and Bill Fruhling in the
Planning Department. I also stopped at the desk in the Planning Department and spoke
to a zoning administrator. Here is what I learned:
1. Zoning. The land is presently zoned Urban Mixed Use (hyperlink is to the full
zoning code; UMX is described in various places). Educational uses are a
conditional use in that zone, so anyone wanting to use the land for similar
purposes would have to get its own conditional use permit. But UMX zoning
permits a great many uses, and combinations of uses.
2. Historic Districts. The land in not in a historic district. It’s close to, but not in, the
Mansion Hill Historic District.
3. Landmark. The building on the land does not have landmark status. City
officials I spoke to said that when any buyer goes to the City in the future for
approval of a project, the City is likely to encourage that buyer to use as much of
22
the existing building as possible (rather than scraping it), and that the Central
High Arches would have particular importance to many people. It is possible
that someone might try to petition to put the building into a landmark status
before a sale is completed. But it’s not presently a landmark.
4. Planning. Under Madison’s Downtown Plan, the City anticipated that the half of
the block abutting Wisconsin Avenue is likely to be developed in the future. It
appears that the City anticipates up to an 8-story building that could be built
there, with one or two bonus stories possible.
5. TIF. It appears to be a part of TIF District 32. An older TIF district appears on
title. Apart from my phone calls and a brief glance at the title report, I didn’t
spend any time verifying the TIF situation.
6. WPA. I was unable to find anything by way of a restriction related to WPA. Since
there is nothing recorded against title to the property, I can’t imagine how the
Federal government would attempt to assert such a claim.
7. Title. There are only 3 specific exceptions to title: exceptions 11, 12, and 13. After
a very brief review, my guess-pectation is that items 11 and 12 might fall away,
relating to an old TIF district from the 80’s.
In summary, I don’t see anything that would stand as a bar or hurdle to selling the
property, or that the client should start working on in advance of listing the property
for sale. Of course, any buyer would need to work through all of the applicable zoning,
site plan, urban design, and related processes in order to make any significant changes
to the site; but until the client knows what the buyer wants to do, one can only
speculate about the challenges a buyer would have in getting that done.

RE:
Downtown Technical Education Center(DTEC)
211 N. Carroll Street
Dear Dr. Barhorst:
Some time ago I pulled together some information concerning the DTEC. This was a
follow-up to the matters involving the potential sale of a portion of the property to the Madison
Children's Museum. I indicated to you that I would put my research in writing so that you
would have it for your file.
In 2003, we examined Block 82, City of Madison, the location of the DTEC,in an effort
to determine its title status. Based on our review of the sixty(60) year report of title for the
referenced property, it appears as follows:
1.
One-half of the property (lots 1, 2, 9, 10 and part of lots 3 and 8)is
owned by Madison Area Technical College by reason of a warranty deed dated
January 30, 1995, and recorded as Document #2665485. (I was involved in this
transaction, as in 1994 we discovered that the title to this property had not been
transferred to the College from the City of Madison, despite having satisfied the
conditions of the land contract.)
2.
The other one-half of the property (lots 4, 5, 6, 7 and part of lots 3
and 8)is owned by Area Vocational, Technical and Adult Education District No.
4, by reason of a warranty deed, dated October 13, 1970, and reported as
Document #1275499. (As you know,the Madison Area Technical College and
Area Vocational, Technical and Adult Education District No.4 are the same
entity).

You asked us to look at the title also to determine whether there were any restrictive
covenants pertaining to the property which would foreclose the Board from ever considering
selling the property. Please be advised that the sixty year title report does not indicate that the
property is encumbered by any restrictive covenants. The sixty year report extends beyond the
property acquisition date of the College by at least thirty years.
Specifically, you were concerned about some alleged agreement with the City of
Madison that the College would always maintain a presence downtown. I spoke with Susan
Springman, an assistant to then Mayor Paul Soglin, concerning this matter. Ms. Springman
indicates that she is not aware of any legal restriction on the property that would preclude the
College from selling same. I am not aware of any political commitments made concerning the
property, although it is possible that they could surface given the contentious past involving the
property and the construction of the Truax Campus.
There was considerable controversy when the Board sought to move the campus out of
downtown. My staff has been able to put together the following timeline, spanning ten years
from 1974 to 1984 relating to this matter. This maybe helpful for future reference:
1974, November —Referendum approved the borrowing of up to $30 million by
District No.4 for purchase or construction of buildings and additions,
enlargements and improvements to buildings and for acquisition of sites and
equipment by issuing general obligation promissory notes.
1975, January —District No. 4 borrowed $30 million to build a central facility on
a site previously approved by the Wisconsin Board of Vocational, Technical and
Adult Education. The only site previously approved by the state board was the
one on East Washington Avenue.
1976, August —East Washington Avenue site abandoned. State Board approved
district's petition to construct new facilities at Truax Air Park.
1977, December —Dane County Circuit Court ruled that the district cannot
proceed with the Truax plan until a satisfactory environmental impact statement
was produced.
1978, November —State Board approved district's petition to construct new

1980 — Wis. Stat. Ch. 38 amended to require voter approval by referendum of
certain capital expenditures by district boards; applicable to building program
actions approved by State Board after January 31, 1980.
1981, October —State Board adopted a resolution granting the district permission
to construct a multiple location or "split" campus, with renovation and expansion
of facilities at existing MATC locations and new construction at Truax.
1982, June —Lawsuit filed in Dane County Circuit Court; alleged additional
referendum required by Wis. Stat. § 38.15 (as amended)to MATC-Truax plan
approved by board in October, 1981.
1983, February —Court determined that Wis. Stat. § 38.15 did not apply because
State Board had approved construction of new MATC facilities at Truax prior to
January 31, 1980.
1983 —Plaintiffs appealed decision to Court of Appeals (also requested bypass to
Supreme Court—that request was denied).
1983, October —Court of Appeals reversed trial court decision on grounds that
Wis. Stat. § 38.15 applied to MATC plan. State Board petitioned Supreme Court
for review. Construction halted.
1984, March —Supreme Court reversed Court of Appeals, holding that plan to
acquire site and construct additional facility was approved prior to January 31,
1980. The course of events from the 1973 meeting to the 1981 site approval
"evidences a single building program," the court said.
Our files contain appraisal information relating to the 211 N. Carroll property. One
appraisal was prepared by Real Estate Dynamics, Inc. for the Children's Museum in December
of 2001. This appraisal is dated and, given that it was prepared for somebody who wished to buy
property from the College, is probably understated.

impact statement produced
Board proposal to develop Adult Education Center at Downtown campus
Instructors at Commercial Avenue having health issues

Many questions to Board re: zoning at East Towne site
Many questions to Board re: what the City considers the College (university vs. technical)
NOTHING IN BOARD BINDERS

State Board adopted a resolution granting the College permission to construct a multiple location or “split”
campus, with renovation and expansion of facilities at existing MATC locations and new construction at Truax.
Board discusses what programs belong in which of the three sites
City Council asks Board for “legally binding financial and programmatic commitment to both components of the
split site campus prior to proceeding with refinement of plans”.
Anthony Earl, legal counsel for the Board, indicated that the Board “cannot enter into a legally binding contract
with another entity for the carrying out of its business with regard to its educational responsibilities”.
Lawsuit filed in Dane County Court; alleged additional referendum required by Wis. State 38.15 (as amended) to
MATC-Truax plan approved by Board in October 1981.
Plaintiffs appealed decision to Court of Appeals (also requested bypass to Supreme Court – that request was
denied)
Court of Appeals reversed trial court decision on grounds that Wis. Stat. 38.15 applied to MATC plan. State Board
petitioned Supreme Court. Construction halted.
State Supreme Court rules that MATC can build
Mitby states in the 1984 District Director’s Report that: “The central city education center will remain a viable but
changed campus setting with a continued strong education program, providing offerings of an adult avocational
nature…The Downtown Education Center will cost approximately $7,110,00 for 130,000 square feet. ( 1)”

in higher than budgeted and higher than pre-bid estimates.

for a full Downtown Education Center renovation project including a reconfiguration of a number of applied arts
programs for a Culinary, Baking and Hospitality Center.

program. Board receives recommendation for expansion and remodeling at Truax Campus that would include
new space for this program.
