Plan Commission Supplement PC 061-2014
For the meeting of: December 2, 2014
REQUEST: Metal Accessory Structure
Tax Key No. 2255.992 / S91 W13775 Boxhorn Drive
SW ¼ of Section 24
PETITIONER: Tom Dillett
INTRODUCED: December 2, 2014
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 061-2014
The petitioner is proposing to construct a 100 square foot metal accessory structure on site. The structure will be
used to house/enclose an existing outdoor wood burning furnace. Plans are attached for your review.
Plan Commission may waive the architectural requirements for accessory structures when any of the following are
met:
1. The structure is screened from view,
2. The principal structure is composed of materials, colors, or styles t hat are inappropriate in their applications
to an accessory structure,
3. The Plan Commission finds other circumstances to be present which would result in no undue harm to the
property or its surroundings,
4. When the area is not found to be predominately residential.
Plan Commission may approve the materials as submitted, or require modifications prior to release of building
permits.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 061-2014
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the area for low density residential land use. The
proposal for this residential outbuilding is consistent with the Plan.
Zoning:
The property is zoned RC-3 Country Residence District. Accessory structures
totaling around 3,340 square feet are permitted on the subject property. The
current proposal measures 100 square feet in area. There is an existing house
on the property with no other accessory structures. The proposal meets the
bulk requirements of the Zoning Code except the architectural requirements of
accessory structures.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 061-2014
The architectural requirements state that the accessory structure should have similar materials and colors as the
principal residence. Planning Commission approval is being sought due to this concern.
The petitioner is proposing a steel sided and steel-roofed structure. This building will enclose an existing outdoor
wood boiler. Due to safety concerns around the wood boiler, the petitioner is proposing this metal/steel building
rather than a typical wood built structure. The walls will be light blue and the roof will be black, which are similar to
the colors of the home. The location of this building is over 270 feet from the street.
The Resolution also states the following items:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the floor of the accessory structure must be asphalt, sealed concrete block, or
concrete slab per the Zoning Code and it must meet all applicable building codes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the colors of the new accessory structure must be similar to the colors of the
house.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 061-2012
Approval of Resolution #PC 061-2014, finding that there will be no undue harm to the surrounding
properties, safety around the wood boiler, and the building being located over 270’ from the nearest street.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 061-2014
APPROVAL OF A METAL ACCESSORY STRUCTURE FOR THE DILLETT PROPERTY
LOCATED IN THE SW ¼ OF SECTION 24
(TAX KEY NO. 2255.992 / S91 W13775 BOXHORN DR)
WHEREAS, A site plan and building drawings were submitted by Tom Dillett to construct a 100
square foot metal accessory structure on his property located at S91 W13775 Boxhorn Drive (Tax
Key No. 2255.992), and
WHEREAS, The property is zoned RC-3, Country Residence District and said structure is a
permitted accessory use and subject to Plan Commission review due to the proposed
architectural materials shown, and
WHEREAS, There is an existing house on the property with no other accessory structures, and
WHEREAS, The owner stated that the accessory structure will be used to cover/enclose an
existing outdoor wood boiler that is already installed in the property, and
WHEREAS, The total allowed square footage for accessory structures on this property is limited
to approximately 3,340 square feet, and said proposal meets the bulk requirements of the Zoning
Code, and
WHEREAS, The structure is proposed to be constructed with steel walls and a steel roof and said
proposal does not meet the Plan Commission’s standards for administrative approval of
residential accessory structures as the siding and roofing does not match the materials used on
the primary residence, and
WHEREAS, The walls will be light blue and the roof will be black, which are similar to the colors
of the home, and
WHEREAS, Metal materials are being proposed since the structure will house an outdoor wood
boiler and the metal will be safer due to the heat from the wood boiler.
WHEREAS, The structure is located over 270’ from the nearest street.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves a 100 square foot metal
accessory structure submitted by Tom Dillett for his property located at S91 W13775 Boxhorn
Drive (Tax Key No. 2255.992).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the floor of the accessory structure must be asphalt, sealed
concrete block, or concrete slab per the Zoning Code and it must meet all applicable building
codes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the colors of the new accessory structure must be similar to
the colors of the house.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves of the accessory structure
due to no undue harm to the surrounding properties, safety around the wood boiler, and the
building being located over 270’ from the nearest street.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That failure to comply with the terms of this resolution and the
approved site plans shall result in the issuance of fines of $100 per day per violation, the initiation
of legal action, or both.

Plan Commission Supplement PC 062-2014
For the meeting of: December 2, 2014
REQUEST: Approval of the Final Plat for Belle Chasse Addition #2 (Phase 3)
Durham Drive / Tax Key No. 2204.114 & 2204.996.008
SE ¼ of Section 11
PETITIONER: Cory O’Donnell, Neumann Companies
INTRODUCED: December 2, 2014
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 062-2014
Petitioner has submitted the Final Plat for the Belle Chasse Subdivision Addition #2. As PC may recall Addition #1
was approved and built in 2013. The overall Belle Chasse development previously received Preliminary Plat
approval from the Planning Commission on May 2, 2006 under PC 011-2006 and from the Common Council on
May 9, 2006 under Resolution 097-2006.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 062-2014
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan indicates this area as 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. The parcel as part of the CSM on
the southwest corner of the platted area is zoned RS-2 and the lots within this
area meet the RS-2 zoning district 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. Also it should be noted that Lot 111 will
be reserved for the city for a future well site.
Stormwater The plat has made accommodations for stormwater management in the various
outlots.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 062-2014
This is the second addition to the Belle Chasse Subdivision. The first phase consisted of the 42 lots along the west
side of Durham Drive and addition #1 was developed in 2013 with 39 lots directly west of the original development.
Plan Commission will note that the plat for addition #2 doesn’t encompass the whole property at this time. While the
developers are actively building out this whole area they were only able to get the portion of lots shown on this new
plat ready with appropriate utilities and access by this winter. Thus, the developers will be coming back with a new
final plat for the rest of the subdivision next spring.
The platted addition #2 before us tonight shows 37 new single–family lots platted from two entrances off of
McShane Drive. Parcels are at least 18,000 square feet and 100 feet in width which is what was allowed as part of
the PD-47 zoning. There are four existing parcels along McShane and the plat meanders around these parcels
without creating any new right-of-way setbacks upon them. The easternmost road access to the plat will be the
road that follows thru all the way to the southern border of the platted area when the subdivision is fully platted out
in the near future. It should be noted that the construction plans will include a sign for that border ed area noting that
the road may continue for future development.
Overall, the lot layout meets the requirements of the former concept for this area. Many engineering relating
comments are pending which don’t affect the approval of the plat at this time b ut will be required before signing of
developer’s agreements. One important item to note is the resolution is subject to technical corrections which may
include that the developers remove more lots from the plat they have submitted tonight. As discussed, the
developers are up against the winter and can only plat the lots on this Final Plat that will have all utilities and
access in place. If certain lots can’t be fully developed the developers will have to remove those lots form this Final
Plat before the city signs off on it. The developers can simply plat the rest of the lots as part of a future Final Plat in
the spring of 2015 when the rest of the improvements are complete.
Parks and Conservation Notes
The improvements are still continuing in relation to the past Park and Conservation Board recommendations. Outlot
10 is dedicated to the City of Muskego for conservation purposes, Wetlands bordering private lots will be lined with
split rail fences, a trail will be installed down the length of McShane Drive and continue to the Bluhm Park parking
lot area, and grading and bridge improvements are being completed in Bluhm Park as a balance for allowing the
storm pond to be located in an unused portion of Bluhm Park.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 062-2014
Approval of Resolution #PC 062-2014
The Resolution is drafted to allow approval subject to technical corrections, which do not substantially impair the
plat.

For the meeting of: December 2, 2014
REQUEST: Approval of a Preliminary Plat, Aster Hill Estates (formerly: Wildflower Farms)
North Cape Road / Tax Key No. 2253.998.002 & 2253.998
NE ¼ of Section 24
PETITIONER: Towne Realty
INTRODUCED: December 2, 2014
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel
BACKGROUND PC 063-2014
Petitioner has submitted the Preliminary Plat for the Aster Hill Estates subdivision. The proposal includes 53
single-family lots and 6 outlots along North Cape Road.
Plan Commission and Council originally approved a planned development rezoning for Aster Hill Estates (under the
name Wildflower Farms) earlier this year allowing the land division as presented.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 063-2014
Comprehensive Plan:
The 2010 Plan depicts the properties for Low-Density Residential development
(Densities of .5 – 1.49 units per acre). The proposal is consistent with the plan
and no amendments to the plan are required.
Zoning:
The property is currently zoned RC-2 Country Residence District (Allowing
parcels of 60,000 square feet and 175 feet in width) and RC-3 Country
Residence District (Allowing parcels of 40,000 square feet and 150 feet in
width). A rezoning to a PD, using the RS-2 District as a base (consistent with
20,000 square foot lots or greater) was allowed by PC and Council earlier this
year. Under RS-2, parcels can be as low as 20,000 square feet and 110 feet in
width. The plat shows an average size per lot of 25,000+ square feet and no
lots less than 23,000 square feet or less than 110 feet in width. The proposed
rezoning is consistent with the proposed plat.
Park and Conservation
Plan:
A trail is required along North Cape Road as part of the Park and Conservation
Plan. An easement is shown for this and monies will be kept as part of the
Developer’s Agreement for the future improvement to the trail system here.
The proposal is consistent with the Plan. Outlot 4 is to be dedicated to the city
for future park purposes as well.
Conservation Plan:
The Plan shows the parcel within the Big Muskego Wildlife Area. The City and
DNR own lands attached to this piece to the south already and the DNR/City
are working on purchasing the land directly west of this parcel as well. The
developers have been in front of the Conservation Commission and the
Commission recommended approval of the development land being dedicated
to the preservation of the Big Muskego Lake Wildlife Area. The most recent
approvals left little lands left for conservation purposes since most has been left
for park purposes now. However an area on the southwestern corner of the plat
is reserved for conservation. The proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Street System Plan:
All Right-of-Ways are shown to be dedicated to their ultimate widths. 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 063-2014
As mentioned above, Aster Hill Estates has been in front of Council and PC earlier this year getting approvals for
an amendment to PD Planned Development Zoning District. The PD zoning was allowed for the subdivision as long
as the large western outlot was dedicated to the City for Park and Conservation purposes due to the area being within the
Big Muskego Wildlife Area and part of the City’s Parks Plan as needing a neighborhood park in this area of the
community.
The PD Planned Development Overlay District allows flexibility in the underlying zoning in relation to reduced densities,
lot sizes, open spaces, height of structures, and/or setbacks and offsets. The PD Planned Development District in this
case utilizes the RS-2 District as a base (consistent with 20,000 square foot lots or greater) for the purpose of a future
subdivision allowing the following: Using the gross acreage for density calculations and reduced setbacks and offsets for
the future lots. The RS-2 District permits sewered residential development allowing single-family residential lots of a
minimum of 20,000 square feet and 110 feet in width. The future preliminary plat shows no parcels less than 23,000
square feet and 110 feet in width. The RS-2 zoning allows front setbacks of 40 feet and offsets of 15 feet on one side
and 20 on all other, however, this Planned Development will have setbacks mimic king those granted in the Boxhorn
Reserve Subdivision to the south, with front setbacks of 30 feet and offsets of 15 feet on the sides and 25 feet on the
rear.
The plat proposes 51 lots for single-family use and a number of outlots for wetland preservation, stormwater
management, and open space preservation.
The 2010 Comprehensive Plan has the area for Low Density Residential and the proposal meets this requirement under
the Planned Development zoning previously approved.
As mentioned, an outlot (#4) is shown along the western border of the plat for park and conservation dedication
purposes to the city. Further, easement for a trail along North Cape is in place on the plat. The resolution is worded
that planning for the future neighborhood park outlot should start taking place by the community so the city can
appropriate park dedication fees by the time the final plat is ready in the spring of 2015.
The Resolution is drafted to allow approval subject to technical corrections, which do not substantially im pair the
plat. The Resolution is drafted to permit planning and engineering corrections prior to final plat approval.
The misc. items required in the resolution are as follows:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the outlot dedicated to the city for park and conservation purposes should
have room for a future trail along the western border of the plat.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the outlot dedicated to the city for park purposes should be appropriately
planned at this time so the city can adequately offset park dedication costs if required to take place of some
Stormwater Management
Plan: Stormwater is shown to be accommodated in the outlots.
improvements desired.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all wetlands on private lots or close to borders of private lots should be
lined with split rail fences as part of the subdivision construction plans.

Plan Commission Supplement PC 064-2014
For the meeting of: December 2, 2014
REQUEST: Building, Site, and Operation Plan Amendment – Westwood Center
Tax Key No. 2196.032 / S75 W17301-51 Janesville Road
SE ¼ of Section 9
PETITIONER: Nathan Remitz of Patera Architecture for Owner Taihyon Yun
INTRODUCED: November 5, 2013
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 064-2014
The Westwood Center property is generally located on the SE corner of Janesville Road and Lannon Drive
and has operated as a retail center with many tenants over the years. The retail center is most known for
housing the retail tenant Jerome Drugs.
The owner, Tiahyon Yun, would like to make extensive exterior modifications to the structure and site in light
of the recent Janesville Road reconstruction that has taken place in front of his property.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 064-2014
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 064-2014
Please find in the submittal a colored building rendering, before/after building elevations, and before/after
site plans. Per the plans found in the supplement the proposal is to change the following on the exterior of
the site and structure:
Overhaul the existing parking lot on the north and east sides by removing all asphalt and replacing,
Removing the existing concrete sidewalk in front of the center and replacing,
Re-striping the parking lot to maximize the amount of parking stalls,
Add new signage consisting of new or remounted channel letter signage on the building facades and
a new monument sign to be located on the northwestern corner of the parking lot,
Revitalize the structure on main north façade and the north ends of the west/east facades per the
following:
o Demo existing metal roof overhangs, metal flashings, and various fabric awnings down to the
existing brick veneer,
o Add a fully new façade with an arched parapet roof, architectural EIFS cornices/cladding/trim,
EFIS/split face brick columns, enamel cap flashing, and in-lay stucco patterns,
o Utilize earth tone colors for new façade, and
Overall, the proposal is greatly improving the state of the property and structure and bringing it up to date to
what we want to see along Janesville Road. The proposed design should work well with the new building
that is currently being built just northeast of this site as well as mesh well with the improvements to Niko’s
Café across the street.
Staff recommends approval subject to the resolution contingencies outlined herein:
Landscape Islands - It is typical we have allowed what existed on the properties affected by the Janesville Road
reconstruction. Further, Janesville Road has extensive landscaping along the frontage already:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That landscape islands are usually required every 10 parking stalls but these are waived as
none existed in the existing parking lot form past approvals and extensive landscaping is found along the Janesville Road
frontage.
Parking Stall width/length - It is typical we have allowed what existed on the properties affected by the Janesville Road
reconstruction. Further, this will allow an amount of stalls equal to what the need is in the building:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the parking stall restriping shows stalls of 9’x18’ which is allowed since this is what existed
in the current parking lot, which allows enough parking stalls for the square footage in the structure.
Cross Access – We won’t mandate this since it wasn’t existing prior. However, we will encourage it and we know the
property owner to the northeast is willing:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the owner should consider allowing cross access to/from the parcel to the northeast and
agreements should be signed by the parties if possible.
Miscellaneous typical requirements:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That any new lighting details should be delivered at the time of permitting to see i f any further
photometric plans are required.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a refuse enclosure in the rear of the structure should be erected as part of the
improvements consisting of board on board fencing.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That any future signage drawings must receive the proper permits from the Community
Development Department.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That no outdoor storage of materials or miscellaneous product is allowed on site.
