Plan Commission Supplement PC 037-2013
For the meeting of: September 3, 2013
REQUEST: Building, Site, and Operation Plan Amendment
Tax Key No. 2198.978 / S73 W16555 Janesville Road
NW ¼ of Section 10
PETITIONER: Greg Foat – Your Auto Wash
INTRODUCED: September 3, 2013
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 037-2013
PC deferred this at our last meeting to have staff investigate alternatives for the
property owner to the east as well as gather some more info from Waukesha
County. The details are found in bold below.
The property is located on Janesville and has operated as Your Auto Wash car wash for
many years. The owner would like to add a new sign and fence along the east property
line to alleviate traffic flow issues to the neighboring businesses. The addition of the
fence and landscaping would shut off cross access that has existed here in the past to
the business property to the east.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 037-2013
Comprehensive Plan:
The 2020 Plan depicts the parcel for commercial use.
The proposal is consistent with the plan.
Zoning:
The property is zoned B-4 – Highway Business District.
The proposal is consistent with the plan.
DISCUSSION PC 037-2013
Since the last PC meeting staff had discussions with Waukesha County as well as
met onsite with both the petitioner and the business property owner to the east.
County Discussions – We found that the former Firestone parcel on the SW corner
of Bay Lane and Janesville is still on the market. Further that there is no present
negotiations between Mr. Goetzinger (eastern property owner) and the County to
purchase the property. There were some negotiations back before the road project
started but those have long since stopped. Lastly, we found that the county has
no interest in selling any temporary access or parking easements now that the
parcel is simply on the market as is for sale as one piece.
Eastern Property Owner Discussions – Staff found that if Mr. Goetzinger added
asphalt back between the city sidewalk and his parking lot that there should be
enough room for an access lane and parking stalls on both sides of his lot.
Further, it was found that while the Bay Lane entrance may need a bit of work to
become more usable it could be used as an access point for his tenants. We
found that only one tenant really uses the back area and this tenant has large
trailers but it could be feasible that they work it out to use the Bay Lane entrance
gate. Lastly, it was found that the back storage area has plenty of room to become
a very usable parking and storage area as much of the area is underused and
simply needs to be re-arranged or upkept. In all, Mr. Goetzinger is in the process
of getting quotes to add asphalt to the front to make his front parking lot more
feasible, possibly add a new entrance to Janesville Road, and costs on redoing
some of the back lot along with the entrance to Bay Lane and gate. In the end we
hope to be able to help Mr. Goetzinger with one of our commercial grants to make
his site more feasible as we move forward.
Your Auto Wash Discussion – The only item we really needed to discuss is if Your
Auto Wash was OK to possibly move the proposed sign location back in the event
the Planning Commission desired a small cut-thru for emergency vehicles
between the proposed sign location and the sidewalk. While Mr. Foat was fine
with this staff doesn’t necessarily see this as a needed measure. Technically, a
fire lane for Your Auto Wash and the property to the east is Janesville Road itself
since these are both older existing structures. No fire lane is required when an
existing structure exists at least 150 feet from a road arterial which we find here
already. Further, we see that a fire truck could easily traverse on Janesville Road
or along the sidewalk area if they wanted to anyway if the proposed location for
the sign is granted.
Staff recommends approval of the proposal as originally proposed and we will
continue to work with both owners to maximize their site access, aesthetics, and
parking needs.
Info from the 9/3/13 supplement
As mentioned the proposals to add a fence and landscaping along the parcel’s east
property line. The new space would create an area for a sign that was removed as part
of the Janesville Road reconstruction project while also alleviating traffic concerns for the
owner. However, the proposal would remove the cross access between the petitioner’s
parcel and the commercial parcels to the east.
As shown on the submitted map and drawings a new landscaped area would replace
existing asphalt along the east property line extending about 10 feet in width. The new
grass area would have new landscape plantings extending from the existing building all
the way to the property line. Also, a 3 ½ -foot high split rail fence will adorn the property
as well to give the site more character and appeal. Lastly, the sign that once was along
the right-of-way, and removed as part of the Janesville Road reconstruction, will be
placed. The sign placement and dimensions meet code requirements as proposed.
In all, the submitted proposal meets code and design requirements without issue. The
question at hand for the Planning Commission, however, is the request to remove the
cross access between this parcel and the existing commercial parcels to the east. Your
Auto Wash was approved and built in the early 80’s and at that time the site was
proposed with the cross access as we see it today. During those years the property
owners never established any cross access easements or maintenance agreements.
The Your Auto Wash sign existed out in front of the existing asphalt today but was
forcibly removed as part of the Janesville Road reconstruction project and now struggles
to find a home in front of the building due to existing traffic patterns and space.
The City of Muskego zoning code now has a section that states commercial projects
should promote cross access between parcels whenever possible and Planning
Commission has required cross access many times before. To take away cross access
now is against this code but the code does allow for Planning Commission waiver if
desired. When considering this removal we should evaluate a couple items. First off, if
the cross access is removed does this affect the parcels negatively? The city code
states we usually establish cross access to “remove a much incidental, site to site traffic
from adjacent roads as practical in order to reduce traffic conflicts and accidents.” In
looking at Your Auto Wash the traffic pattern of coming off of Vine Street for access has
been and will remain the same if this request is granted. Thus, there doesn’t appear to
be a conflict here. The commercial parcels to the east have always had the one access
point off of Janesville Road (see supplemental map) and would continue to do so.
Having the cross access to Vine Street would allow business patrons to get to an open
intersection of Janesville Road which they can’t today since there is a boulevard there.
However, the east parcel could establish a different access route for deliveries and
employees to the back portion of their lots between the two buildings that exist there out
to Bay Lane Drive as an access point to Bay Lane is found there already as well. The
owner of those parcels has told staff that he leases that back lot portion out for storage
but that operation plan could be altered to better the site traffic for their site. Further, the
city has had discussion with the owner of the parcels to the east that they would help
advocate for another access point off of Janesville Road along their western borders
should they look for those approvals and that the city could help with grant incentives to
aid in this new access construction.
Staff has spent considerable time on the sites to see how traffic flows between the
properties in question here. In all, it appears that the petitioner is correct in that most, if
not all, the traffic from the commercial properties to the east are traversing over the Your
Auto Wash properties including many delivery trucks, etc.
In the end, staff could go both ways on this issue. Just because the owners never
established cross access easements and agreements over the past years is not a fault
of the city and the city does like to require cross access whenever possible. However,
staff doesn’t see that removing the cross access in this regard will hamper the traffic
patterns for each business parcel. Each parcel already has multiple access points, or at
least the ability to establish multiple access points. The proposal would help make the
site look nicer and the city is in a position to help the owner to the east to establish more
access points if need be. Lastly, Waukesha County is in possession of the corner parcel
along Janesville/Bay Lane (former Firestone parcel). When this commercial parcel sells
it will require PC BSO approval and we can surely setup more cross access for the other
parcels around that area as well.
Staff will be letting the owner of the commercial properties to the east know about the
PC meeting tonight for his comments as well.
Other Note
Plan Commission may note that the petitioner has included discussion in their submittal
regarding the addition of a new dog wash. This item doesn’t need to be discussed as
part of this proposal as the new dog wash is internal to one of the existing wash bays
and isn’t a substantial change item to the site like the above items.

REQUEST: Additional 8’ x 10’ Garden Shed
Tax Key No. 2166.014 / W153 S6609 Lawndale Place
NW ¼ of Section 2
PETITIONER: Lawrence Bunting
INTRODUCED: October 1, 2013
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 045-2013
The petitioner proposes to construct a garden shed 80 square feet in area. Since this garden shed is in addition to
one existing garden shed and an existing accessory structure, Plan Commission approval is required.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 045-2013
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the area for medium density residential land use. The
proposal for this residential outbuilding is consistent with the Plan.
Zoning:
The property is zoned RS-1 Suburban Residence District. Accessory structures
totaling 771 square feet are permitted on the subject property. The newly
proposed shed measures 80 square feet in area. There is another garden shed
that exists on the lot, which totals 120 square feet in size and a detached
garage, which totals 542 square feet. The grand total of all accessory structure
square footage with the proposed shed equals 742 square feet. The proposal
meets the bulk requirements of the Zoning Code.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 045-2013
Design Guide requirements state that Planning Commission approval is needed for more than one garden shed on
a lot when it is being used for residential purposes. Planning Commission approvals are being sought due to this
concern since one other garden shed exists on the lot.
The petitioner proposes a residentially sided structure with a shingled roof. The colors and materials of the
accessory structure will need to match the colors of the existing house. The location of this build ing meets the
required setback and offsets. The height of the structure is about 10 feet, as measured according to code, which
meets code requirements.
Staff has no concern with the placement or architecture of the added garden shed, as long as the colors match the
existing house.

REQUEST: Approval of a Two-Family Residential Structure
Lot 8 – Boehm Ct / Tax Key No. 2218.008
NW ¼ of Section 15
PETITIONER: Paul Van Alstine
INTRODUCED: October 1, 2013
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 046-2013
The petitioner is proposing to construct a two-family residential structure on a parcel l ocated on Lot 8 of
Boehm Court in the Meadow Green Subdivision. Typically the Plan Commission only sees 2-family
structures when they are in newer developments (such as Northfield Green Subdivision), but in this case
this is an existing 2-family lot within an established subdivision. Plan Commission must still review this
per the code requirements.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 046-2013
Zoning: The property is zoned RM-3 Multiple Family Residence. The proposed
use is allowed with Plan Commission approval. The structure and site
conforms to the bulk requirements of the District.
Park and Conservation Plan: No park acquisitions are proposed in this area and no conservation
priority areas are depicted in this area. The proposal is consistent with
the Plan.
Street System Plan: No dedications are required as part of the approval of 2-family
structures. The proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Adopted 208 Sanitary Sewer
Service Area:
Public sanitary sewer serves the property. The proposal is consistent
with the Plan.
Water Capacity Assessment
District:
The property is served by public water service. The proposal is
consistent with the Plan.
Stormwater Management
Plan:
Stormwater is not needed for this site since there is less than ½ acre of
added impervious surfaces. A grading plan has been submitted for the
site. The proposal is consistent with the Plan.
DISCUSSION PC 046-2013
The 2-family structure submittal contains a detail sheet, survey, landscape plan, floor plans, and building
elevations. Each unit is about 1,704 square feet in size with three bedrooms and two and a half
bathrooms. Both units also have a basement, a kitchen, a utility room, and a great room.
SITE PLAN/SURVEY:
A site plan/survey has been submitted for the project. Access to the site is gained off of Boehm Court.
Overall the building meets the zoning requirements for the RM-3 district in regards to setbacks/offsets,
open space, density, height, floor area ratio, etc.
PARKING:
Parking is handled with two-car attached garages for each unit. There also is a large driveway shown for
parking for numerous guests for each unit if necessary.
LANDSCAPING:
A landscape plan has been submitted. All landscaping must be installed before occupancy can be
granted for either unit within the building.
ARCHITECTURE/BUILDING ELEVATIONS:
The building is governed by General Design Guide. There is not a specific Design Guide or specific
design requirements for this lot or area.
The structure is proposed to be constructed with exterior materials which include hardi-plank siding,
shake siding, cultured stone, aluminum soffits and f ascia, and dimensional asphalt shingles.
The structure is designed to look like a typical new home. This should fit well within this existing
neighborhood and meet or exceed the designs in that area. The building is proposed to have some
masonry on the front of the building, but none on the sides/rear and this is similar to other homes on the
street.
MISCELLANEOUS:
The driveway for the northern unit is proposed to encroach into the side yard Storm Sewer Easement.
Due to this, a revocable occupancy perm it will be required for the portion of the driveway located within
the Storm Sewer Easement before a permit can be issued for the construction of the home. Also, the
driveway cannot be located over the catch basin within the Storm Sewer Easement and all dra inage must
still flow into said catch basin.
The resolution states that any garbage/recycle containers must be kept within the garages of the units.
The resolution also states that all mechanical devices need to be screened with landscaping or other
screening devices.

Plan Commission Supplement PC 044-2013
For the meeting of: October 1, 2013
REQUEST: Final Plat, Belle Chasse Subdivision Phase 2 (Addition #1)
Mystic Drive / Tax Key Nos. 2204.111
SW ¼ of Section 11
PETITIONER: Cory O’Donnell, Neumann Companies
INTRODUCED: October 1, 2013
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 044-2013
Preliminary Plat approval was received on April 17, 2007 by Resolution PC 042 -2007. The plat has been divided
in to three (3) phases initially and the final plat approval tonight is for phase 2 which is known as Belle Chasse
Addition #1, the section located directly adjacent to the original Belle Chasse development up along Mystic Drive.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 044-2013
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan indicates this area is slated for medium density residential
development. The proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Zoning: The parcel is zoned PD-47 Belle Chasse Planned Development District. The
proposed lots all meet these requirements.
Street System Plan:
All necessary dedications are being made as part of this plat. The plat is
consistent with the Plan.
Adopted 208 Sanitary Sewer
Service Area:
The property is within the sewer service area. The parcels will be served by
municipal sewer.
Water Capacity Assessment
District: The lots will be serviced by public water.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 044-2013
This is the first addition to the Belle Chasse Subdivision. The first phase consisted of the 42 lots along Durham
Drive and Addition #1 is now being developed with 39 new lots directly west of the original development west to
Mystic Drive. The Public Works Committee and Common Council reviewed this layout and approved the
construction plans and Developer’s Agreement earlier in 2013. The only real change from the original preliminary
plat approval is that the road shown as Pheasant Run has shifted to the north as new wetlands have been identified
across from the street Gray Fox Trail. This change was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and the local
Alderman at the time of Council approval of the Developer’s agreement and no inquiries were received from the
public. Also, to the original 42 lots a small number of other technical corrections are required, which do not
substantially impair the plat.
As mentioned, the parcels depicted meet the PD -47 Belle Chasse Planned Development District zoning
requirements and all roadways depicted meet City requirements. The zoning was approved per Council Ordinance
#1213.
As per platting procedures a developer first receives approvals of their developer’s agreement, constructs the
subdivision, and then receives the City’s Acceptance of Improvements. Only then does the city formerly sign off on
the Final Plat in order to assure that no new lots are sold until the developer’s obligations are in place.
Technical engineering review comments are pending on the plat and will be addressed before final recording and
signoff by the city.

Plan Commission Supplement PC 047-2013
For the meeting of: October 1, 2013
REQUEST: Location Approval for Historic Tailspin Sign
NW Corner of Park Drive and Janesville Road
SE ¼ of Section 9
PETITIONER: City of Muskego – Muskego Historical Society
INTRODUCED: October 1, 2013
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel, AICP
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 047-2013
The City of Muskego has been working in cooperation with the
Muskego Historical Society on determining a permanent location for
the historic Tailspin Rollercoaster Sign. This sign is currently being
housed in front of the historic grounds off of Racine Avenue. The
Muskego Historical Society has been restoring the Tailspin Sign over
the past two years with volunteer efforts and the sign is on its last
phase of restoration just requiring neon tubing lighting to be added
(See current pics herein).
Community Development Department staff and the Muskego
Historical Society have found that the NW corner of Park Drive and
Janesville Road may be an appropriate location for the sign since this
area is within reach of the area the sign once adorned as well as an
opportunity to make the sign a permanent unique fixture of the City’s
downtown and new Janesville Road.
This proposed location is now a site of a new stormwater pond as a
result of the Janesville Road Phase II construction project and as part
of the project this corner is to have decorative fencing and a well
landscaped corner (see construction planset in the supplement).
The proposed location will allow the approximate 18’x9’ sign to be
erected behind and above the decorative fencing while allowing the
area in front of the decorative fence to be landscaped with additional
historic signs denoting the historic events in the general area. The
sign is to be illuminated at night on the front of the sign facing the
road right-of-way and there is to be no lighting on the rear of the sign.
Staff is bringing this before Planning Commission mainly to ensure the public is aware of the plan and to give any
comments in relation to the proposal. Staff sent notice of the proposal to properties within 100 feet of the proposal.
Upon approval staff will be working with the Historical Society to get the site plan erected as shown. Final
landscaping would be completed as part of the Janesville Road reconstruction project and certain changes would
have to be made to the landscaping of the corner to make it more approachable. The base mounts of the sign
would most likely occur as part of the Janesville Road project as well when the decorative fencing is installed. All
other portions of the plan including the actual erection and lighting of the sign would be made by the Historical
Society and their continued fund raising and volunteer efforts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 047-2013
Approval of Resolution #PC 047-2013 as the proposed location of the sign gives the city an opportunity to
make the sign a permanent unique fixture of the City’s downtown and new Janesville Road along with
locating it in an area close to where it once adorned. Further, there should be no negative implications to
the sign given that it is on a main street where commercial zoning is found and the condo residential uses
behind should be unaffected given that there is no illumination of the rear of the signage.
