DISCUSSION PC 038-2014
The proposal is consistent with operations of other vendors in Muskego.

year. For this year, the owners may already be setting up on site. This was allowed due to their past approval while
they proceed through this approval process. If the Plan Commission would li ke anything changed or if they do not
allow the requested use, the petitioner will make said changes immediately.

PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 042-2014
Petitioner proposes to construct an 8’ x 12.5’ storage shed approximately 5 feet off of the rear of the
building. The color of the shed will be tan to match the color of the main building.
DISCUSSION PC 042-2014
The proposal is to add a storage shed for the storage of a lawn mower and other lawn care items. The
structure will placed to the rear of the existing building on an existing concrete patio. The shed is to be
made of a Rubbermaid type material and be all tan in color (roof and sides).
Usually such a shed might not be allowed on business property if it were in the City’s downtown or more
exposed. However, the P& L Insurance property operates at more of a residential nature and the shed will
be in the rear of the building not really exposed from view. Staff feels that this proposal meets all
necessary requirements.

General Design Guide The General Design Guide governs this area. The proposed appears to
meet the requirements of the guide well and this is discussed in more
detail below. The guide doesn’t fully pertain to the proposal as the site
is being redeveloped and is not a full new construction.
Redevelopment District #1 This site is within the City’s adopted Redevelopment District #1 Plan.
The Plan doesn’t call for any specific objective for this parcel. However,
the overall goal of the redevelopment plan is to encourage
redevelopment of sites. This proposal certainly redevelops the site and
repurposed the usefulness of the site.
DISCUSSION PC 040-2014
Mr. Alex Simic of Storage Master requests a CUG and BSO approvals for a new mini storage facility on
the former Salentine Auto site along Janesville Road in the Tess Corners area. The proposal also looks to
add a retail coffeehouse to a portion of the existing structure. Mr. Simic operates many other successful
Storage Master mini storage facilities with more than 3,000 storage units and 500,000 SF of storage
space in southeast Wisconsin. A site plan, elevations, renderings, and a narrative are all included in the
submittal.
The proposed use requires a CUG. A public hearing for the CUG has been scheduled before the Plan
Commission on July 1, 2014.
Conditional Use Grant (CUG)
As mentioned a CUG is required specifically for a mini storage use. A public Hearing before the Planning
Commission is required and neighbors have been notified. As of the date of this supplement preparation
staff only had one internal inquiry. The inquiry was from th e business Terra Firma across the street from
the property. Terra Firma is in support of the CUG and they are impressed with how nice the proposal
looks. They look forward to neighbors taking ownership and aiding in the appearance of the property.
A conditional use grant allows the Planning Commission the following basis for approvals per code:
The Plan Commission shall base their determination on general considerations as to the
effect of such grant on the health, general welfare, safety and economic prosperity of the
City and specifically of the immediate neighborhood in which such use would be located,
including such considerations as the effect on the established character and quality of the
area, its physical attractiveness, the movement of traffic, the demand for related services,
the possible hazardous, harmful, noxious, offensive or nuisance effect as a result of
noise, dust, smoke or odor and such other factors as would be appropriate to carrying out
the intent of conditional grants.
Building, Site and Operation Plan
Proposal and Existing Conditions
The former Salentine Auto Dealership formally operated out of the site where the proposal is based. The
site contains approximately 58,000 SF of structures connected together along with a 3,000+ SF old
carwash building that is stand alone on the NW portion of the site . An old outdoor storage area, without
an screening, is also found on the NW corner of the site. Some portions of the structure were built at
different time and portions of the structure are laid out as either offices or warehouse areas. The building
isn’t entirely heated as some cold storage exists and the main buildings on the site are fully sprinklered.
The overall site is paved with a stormwater area on the back NE corner of the site. The parking lot layout
is mostly faded but has many parking stalls for patrons/employees while a variety of stalls were simply
laid out for car sale use.
Storage Master is proposing to convert the site and buildings into a fully operational mini storage facility
along with a coffeehouse that would exist in the southern 3,000 SF of the structure. Overall, Storage
Master believes that the proposed development allows several benefits to Muskego including:
1. Improving aesthetics of the existing site – Many updates to site as detailed more below.
2. Increasing the use and traffic flow to the site - Coffeehouse will attract many customers a day
along with the daily storage traffic.
3. Addressing an unmet self-storage need in the community – Narrative states that self-storage
saturation is typically defined as being in an equilibrium state where there is sufficient number of
units that equate to either 10% of the population or 7 square feet of net rentable storage space
per resident. Muskego’s 24,239 residents equates to a need of 2,400 storage units and up to
170,000 of rentable space of which the narrative states only in excess of 400 units and ~70,000
SF is attainted today. Narrative also states that all storage in Muskego is operating at full ca pacity
today.
Mini Storage
The mini storage would consist of 325 indoor units within 55,000 SF of building and 186 outdoor spaces
for outdoor storage needs. The storage units themselves would be unique as they will be accessed all
from the interior. The self-storage is only accessible to tenants from 7 am to 7 pm daily, not 24 hours as
most facilities. Two individuals would manage the facility from 9 am to 5 pm Monday thru Friday, 8 am to
4 pm on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. Ten to fifteen customers a day are anticipated. The units
would range in size from 5’x5’ to 10’x30’. The outdoor space for rent would be the room where tenants
could park “licensed and in good shape” vehicles or where Storage Master would keep their portable self-
storage units and moving trucks (see pics of these herein). Storage Master will not allow junked or non -
operational vehicles in outdoor spaces. Also, no outdoor refuse containers are allowed on site.
Coffeehouse
The coffeehouse would be called “MUG” Place standing for Muskego Urban Gathering Place. The intent
of MUG Place is an environment where families can gather to enjoy refreshments, play board games,
listen to local musicians and/or speakers. Three (3) meeting rooms would be a part of MUG Place that
can be rented out. MUG place should seat about 50 patrons and would be open daily from 9 am to 9 pm
with 1 to 2 employees needed at any one time. MUG Place would be centralized in the southern half of
the building where the main windows adorn looking out over Janesville Road.
Architecture
The existing building consists of a storefront area on the SW corner clad with white brick, various
windows, and overhead doors. Red colored brick lines also run horizontally in various portions as well.
The rest of the structure on the lot is mainly clad with brown steel siding throughout.
The proposal looks to keep much of the building as is. However , the majority of the property will now be
screened with a new white vinyl fence and the following proposed modifications are being sought for the
structure:
The brown clad steel portion of the building along the easternmost façade facing Janesvi lle
Road will be totally redone with sandstone and brick wall panels, metal awnings, and new
storefront doors (see building elevations and colored rendering).
The red striping currently adorning the brick facades with be colored green to match the new
awnings being installed.
Many new roll up doors will be built in to the existing brown steel clad walls throughout the
site. (The same will be done on the old carwash building that currently is stand alone on the
site).
This property is in the City’s Historic Crossroads Design Guide Area and the overall General Design
Guide Area. Since this site and associated structures existed prior to t he adopted design guides, staff
and Planning Commission simply try work around the originally approved architecture on a proposed
redevelopment. In this case, the structure is remaining much the same other than the portion of the
building along Janesville Road that is being totally refaced. In regards to this portion of the structure we
see that masonry products are now being used on 100% of the new building facade. Staff sees no issue
with the proposal. If, of course, this was a new build we would have m any elements of the design guide
applying.
Access and Parking
As mentioned, the current site has many parking stalls for patrons/employees while a variety of stalls
were simply laid out for car sale use. The newly proposed site plan re-uses many of the parking stalls
along the Janesville Road frontage but then converts stalls in the rear half of the site to work with the
proposed outdoor storage needs. The stalls in front for patrons and employees will all be re -laid out to
conform to the City’s 10x20 requirement. The rear enclosed stalls will also be 10x20 along with some
larger stalls set at 10x30 to accommodate the mobile storage units Storage Master offers.
The site access provides for 24 foot wide aisles per City zoning codes.
Screening
The storage use is dependent on security and various forms of outdoor storage uses. To accomplish this
fencing is proposed around the majority of the site. Per the site plan a fence is to begin at the SW corner
of the building along Janesville Road. The fence in this location is proposed to have a gate and be a vinyl
6-foot solid fence in the color of white. The vinyl fence will then follow north along the west property and
then move east along the north property line for 140 feet. The fence will then transition to a 6-foot
cyclone fence that will have white slatting. The cyclone fence will continue along the north property line
and then come back south and attach to the building so that the entire rear of the site is fenced in.
The site pan does show one small portion of the fence, which is along Tess Corners Drive, to be the
cyclone fence with slats. This is a portion where a drive access is. The petitioner would like to leave this
drive access open as much of the parking lot storm drainage sheet flows this way. Sta ff has no issue with
keeping the drive access as is due to stormwater needs but doesn’t see why the fence can continue as
vinyl as water can flow underneath. The resolution is written to keep this area as vinyl.
The fence is anticipated to be a security device while also be a pleasing screening to passersby on
Janesville Road and Tess Corners Drive.
Staff believes that the fence proposed should fit well into the area especially seeing that the main portions
of the fence will be the vinyl rather than a cyc lone fence. Plan Commission may want to discuss the
proposed height of the fence in relation to the heights of outdoor storage that may be allowed behind the
fenced areas.
Fire Department Approval
The site plan is subject to Fire Department approvals at the time of building permits as well.
Dumpsters/Refuse Containers/Outdoor Storage
No dumpster enclosure is proposed at this time the narrative states that no outdoor refuse containers are
required. However, the resolution is worded that any future enclosure need will have to be constructed of
similar main building materials.
Landscaping
No new landscaping is proposed at this time as the building foundations and perimeters of the site
already have various trees/shrubs throughout. The narrative does state that arborvitaes are proposed
along the fence line along the west property line, however, that was before the petitioner changed the
fence to be a full vinyl board fence (previously they were going to install a cyclone fence with slating).
Signage
Signage isn’t part of the submittal at this time. However, the zoning district allows for monument signage
as well as wall signage. Sign permits will be required when desired.
Lighting
Lighting in the form of light poles and wall-packs adorn the site already. No new lighting is part of the
submittal but any new light needs will be required by building permit time and would have to meet
Muskego codes.
Sewer, Water, Storm, Grading
The development is served by existing public sanitary sewer and water. Stormwater management is
taken care of via a storm pond on the NE corner of the site. The proposal is consistent with the plan.
Other
The following usual items are also part of the Plan Commission resolution:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a separate sign permit will be required before any signage
(temporary or permanent) can be installed and this includes any signage on the building.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The site plan is still subject to Fire Department approvals at the time of
building permits.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, All lighting fixtures must be full cut-off with a zero degree tilt and the
concrete bases for the pole lights cannot exceed 6 inches in height above grade.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That any bollards must be painted to match the colors of the principal
structure.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all roof top and ground mechanicals (including HVAC devices,
electrical transformers, etc.) must be screened from view and/or incorporated into the design of the
site/structure (screening, etc.) and should be approved by the Community Development Department.
