Plan Commission Supplement PC 016-2015
For the meeting of: April 7, 2015
REQUEST: Two (2) Lot Land Division – Loomis Property
S82 W15435 Mystic Drive / Tax Key No. 2214.997.004
NW & SW ¼ of Section 14
PETITIONER: Paul Loomis
INTRODUCED: April 7, 2015
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 016-2015
The petitioner is proposing to divide one parcel by Certified Survey Map to create two (2) parcels. The
lots will range in size from 101,179 square feet (2.32 acres) to 207,843 square feet (4.77 acres).
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 016-2015
Comprehensive Plan:
The 2020 Plan depicts the area for Low Density Residential uses. The
proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Zoning:
The property is currently zoned RS-2 Suburban Residence District,
which requires a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet and average
lot width of 220 feet per lot for unsewered lots. The proposal is
consistent with the Plan.
Parks and Conservation Plan: The 2012-2016 Plan does not depict any park areas on this property.
There are high priority conservation areas on this site that appear to be
located within the wetlands on the site. All wetlands need to be
delineated and shown on the CSM with the proper setbacks and
restriction notes. The proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Street System Plan: No right-of-way is being dedicated as part of this proposal.
Adopted 208 Sanitary Sewer
Service Area: All lots are served by private on-site sewer systems. The proposal is
consistent with the Plan.
Water Capacity Assessment
District:
All lots are served by private water wells. The proposal is consistent
with the Plan.
Stormwater Management
Plan: A grading plan will need to be submitted to the Engineering Department
before building permits can be issued for any construction.
DISCUSSION PC 016-2015
Upon review of the CSM, the bulk requirements of the code appear to be met. There are some technical
corrections that need to occur that will need to be addressed before the CSM can be signed by the City
and recorded.
There are two items of note that need to be addressed. The first item relates to the wetlands on the
property. All wetlands must be delineated on the entire property. Once the wetlands are marked they
must be shown on the CSM, along with the 15’ wetland protection offset and the typical wetland
protection language.
The other item relates to the access to this site. As was discussed/noted at the conceptual review of this
land division in early 2015, the existing lot is accessed via an existing 80’ ingress/egress easement
connecting to Mystic Drive. Since the originally established easements did not take into consideration
this land division and the additional (proposed) lot, a new easement will need to be established to formally
allow access from Mystic Drive to these two lots. On this note, you may recall that typically lots need full
right-of-way access to complete a land division. This rule can be waived though by Plan Commission if
desired. There aren’t specific rules to follow for Plan Commission to waive this land division rule as we
haven’t come across such a case in the past from what staff has researched. The way that the petitioner
has the proposed land division laid out will easily allow each parcel to have plenty of frontage on the
access easement. Staff doesn’t see the proposed land division hampering the surrounding area in any
way. In all, staff doesn’t see issue with approval of such a land division with easement access due to the
above circumstances. In any other case, staff wouldn’t recommend approval, but given the specific details
here including the history with easement access and the proposed new easement, staff looks upon this
proposal fondly.
Staff recommends approval subject to meeting all items noted above and all technical corrections
received from the Engineering Division. The Resolution is drafted accordingly.

Plan Commission Supplement PC 017-2015
For the meeting of: April 7, 2015
REQUEST: Approval of a BSO Amendment Elliot’s ACE Hardware
Tax Key No. 2169.999.007 / S64 W15732 Commerce Center
NE ¼ of Section 3
PETITIONER: Elliot’s ACE Hardware
INTRODUCED: April 7, 2015
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 017-2015
Elliot’s ACE Hardware was approved by Planning Commission in 2012 for an amendment to their BSO to allow
some miscellaneous outdoor sales of pallets of merchandise. If Planning Commission recalls, the original approval
was for one year only and after that the next approval was for two years (2013/2014). At this time the petitioner is
looking to continue their outdoor sales allowance.
DISCUSSION PC 017-2015
The petitioners submitted the attached map and narrative outlining their request . Like past years they are
requesting to have pallet goods during the summer months and some sidewalk plant stands during the fall months.
The goods would follow these regulations:
Pallets would be kept at one pallet high and only one pallet deep
Pallets would constantly be kept free of all shrink wrap and kept neatly stacked
Broken bags would be removed and repaired immediately/cleaned up daily
Pallets would not exceed five feet in height
Summer pallets would be displayed from March 1st - Sept 1st
Fall goods would be from Sept 1st – Nov 15th
Pallets would have 20x24 price signs on the front of each pallet
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 017-2015
Staff has observed the outdoor sales over the past three years and there have been no problems. The business
has kept all products/displays neat and orderly and the signage has been tasteful and complimented the overall site
and structure.
The tough aspect with this approval is that the city has been approving permanent outdoor storage areas as part of
the construction of the building for the various businesses in this area, in order to hopefully keep outdoor storage
sales inside these defined space. We see this in both Wal-Mart and ACE in that they have large outdoor storage
and sales areas already built into their structures.
In the end, Plan Commission did originally allow outdoor sales areas in front of ACE in their original BSO plan.
Given that and given that ACE set the bar last year in their sales area, staff believes that an approval here is
warranted again. As long as all businesses in this area come forth to Planning Commission first for approvals and
as long as we have caveats on the resolutions that “any ongoing issues would bring this back to Planning
Commission for possible revocation,” we should be in good shape.
Lastly, since we have gone a few years now with allowing ACE to have th ese outdoor sales with no issues and with
a good history of maintenance and presentation, the resolution is written to make these outdoor sales a permanent
BSO amendment. This means that ACE would not need to come back for any re-approvals for these exact outdoor
sales as long as all conditions of this approval are met. The only way this would come back to the Plan
Commission would be if the petitioner wanted to change their specific approvals or if complaints/concerns would
arise. If any complaints/concerns arise in the future, then the Plan Commission has the right to re-review the
outdoor sales approval and/or revoke the outdoor sales approvals at any time.

WHEREAS, A BSO amendment (outdoor sales renewal) request has been submitted by Elliot’s ACE

REQUEST: Approval of a Temporary Seasonal Outdoor Garden Center
Tax Key No. 2199.999.022 / S74 W17009 Janesville Road (in the parking lot)
NW & SW ¼ of Section 10
PETITIONER: Andrew Werner (A.W. Greenhouses)
INTRODUCED: April 7, 2015
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 019-2015
The petitioner is proposing a temporary greenhouse structure for the sale of plants and flowers for 2015-2017. The
petitioner is A.W. Greenhouses, who Plan Commission approved to house their greenhouse operations in the
Muskego Business Park a couple years back. The temporary garden center is proposed within the parking lot in
front of Preferred Fitness. The merchandise will be sold in a 21’ x 30’ greenhouse. Outside the greenhouse will be
a 36’ x 35’ garden area. This area will be fenced in with an all wood handmade picket fence and a wood arbor at
the entrance. Wood tables will be inside the fenced area for flower display. A.W. Greenhouses also has a similar
seasonal plant sales operation in the Lincoln Point Plaza parking lot.
There is no specific signage at this time, but last year at the other location there were a few tasteful banners hung
from the fences. The same may be done this year. Details should be provided to the Community Development
Department once known.
Operations are proposed from approx. May 9th – July 9th, from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm daily.
Permission has been granted for the use of this portion of the site from the property owner and the use of the Water
Store’s restroom facilities.
DISCUSSION PC 019-2015
The proposal is consistent with operations of other vendors in Muskego. There have been no issues with this
business’s other location in the past. The petitioner is requesting this approval for a three year period and staff is
recommending said request and the resolution is drafted as such.
A transient merchant license must be obtained from the City Clerk’s Office and an electrical permit and inspection
will be required by the Building Inspection Department for any electricity hookup if needed.

For the meeting of: April 7, 2015
REQUEST: Building, Site and Operation Amendment for a permanent parking lot for John Jewell
Tax Key No. 2193.070
NE ¼ of Section 9
PETITIONER: John Jewell
INTRODUCED: March 2015
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 015-2015
The petitioner has submitted a layout for approval for a permanent parking lot in downtown Muskego
along Janesville Road (former Shell Gas Station lot). Plan Commission required approval of a permanent
lot per Resolution #004-2015 which allowed temporary parking on the lot in the meantime.
DISCUSSION PC 015-2015
As Plan Commission knows, the former Shell Gas Station lot, on the NW corner of Lannon Drive and
Janesville Road, has been vacant for a couple years now. The vacancy was a result of the Janesville
Road reconstruction project. Waukesha County required that the structures be removed on the property
to make way for the reconstruction, however, the private owner has retained the vacant leftover remnant.
Since this time the property has sat vacant with the majority covered in hard surface asphalt. The portions
covered in asphalt are required due to a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources cap order since the
parcel is largely contaminated underneath. Basically, building can still occur on the lot but if any soils are
disturbed on the property they would have to be tested and remediated.
Mr. John Jewell is the owner and builder of the new property across the street w here the former BP Gas
Station existed. Mr. Jewell received approval from the Planning Commission as per PC Resolution #004-
2015 to allow temporary parking on the old Shell lot as long as he received permanent parking approval
before August 31, 2015. The permanent parking lot improvements are before Planning Commission
tonight and consist of resurfacing the entire lot, adding additional asphalt areas, landscaping, and
ultimately allowing 19 parking stalls meeting City of Muskego ordinances. The new parki ng lot
would connect to the Tres Locos parking lot and access to the north. An access easement and
agreement with Tres Locos to share the parking lot has been reached and is a requirement of
the resolution tonight.
While landscaping general locations are shown the resolution is subject to a formal landscape
plan being approved by the Community Development Department. Further, the site plan shows
a possible location for a future Tres Locos monument sign on the southeast corner of the lot.
The resolution allows the sign location, subject to permitting, and allows sign regulations for the
size of the sign to utilize the Tres Locos frontage along with the petitioner’s frontage as well.
Said sign would have to cease upon the petitioner lot being developed or access agreements
ceasing.
One issue with fully remediating the site is in regards to the Janesville Road right-of-way. This
area also has the cap requirement by the WDNR and currently sits as capped with asphalt. The
petitioner can’t touch this area as it is out of his control. However, the city could work with the
County to remediate/beautify this area. Some ideas would be to lower the cap and replace it
with maintained turf or possibly add a new colored concrete top to it and line the frontage with
some planters. The resolution is subject to Plan Commission approving a beautification plan for
this area in the near future. At this time, the City can’t move forward to redevelop this area until
the County is finished with a court case with the former property owner. Once ready though, the
Council has approved up to $20,000 in TIF 8 monies to help remedy this area and staff will bring
back a plan for beautification when we can.

REQUEST: Approval of a BSO Amendment for Basse’s Country Delight Farm Market
Tax Key No. 2172.999/ S70 W16050 Janesville Road
SE ¼ of Section 3
PETITIONER: Tom Schaefer on behalf of Basse’s Country Delight Farm Market
INTRODUCED: April 7, 2015
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 018-2015
Basse’s Country Delight Farm Market has been in operation for many years in Muskego. The market sells many
different items depending on the season. Over the past few years mulch sales have become a big part of the
market’s business sales. The sale of mulch from this property has not specifically been approved for this site up to
this point. Due to this and some concern raised relating to required approvals that came to the attention of the City
last spring, the operator of the market has been working with the City in the off season to develop a plan to formally
request the allowance of the sales and storage/display of mulch during the spring season each year.
DISCUSSION PC 018-2015
The petitioner has submitted a formal request to be allowed to sell and display/store mulch at Basse’s Country
Delight Farm Market during the spring season (typically April thru June). Previously, the mulch was kept in multiple
large piles along west side of the building, bloc king/limiting access around that side of the building. Also, this mulch
was not screened in any way. The proposal now includes a detailed plan of how the mulch will be stored,
displayed, and sold. The submittal includes a narrative and various site/plan drawings.
The new plan includes the construction of permanent wood storage/display bins west of the existing building . It
would be located along the western edge of the existing driveway with an overall bin size of 90’ long by 16’ deep by
4’ high. This plan keeps the mulch in defined areas, while keeping at least 24 feet of open width between the
mulch storage bins and the market building. The large bin can then be subdivided into as many as 4 smaller areas
within it for different mulch products to be displayed/stored . These bins would be where customers would pick up
any mulch they wanted to purchase and take with them. Als o part of the proposal are 2-3 larger (25’ diameter,
approximately 10’ high) stock piles of mulch stored back on the property near the existing barn and accessory
structures that would contain the over stock mulch supply for the mulch that will not fit wit hin the storage/display
bins. See the attached plan/map for details on these locations.
Looking at the overall plan, staff feels that the petitioner has developed a functional plan that will allow them to sell
a product (mulch) that is important to their business operations while doing it in a way that is neat and orderly. The
bins should keep the mulch organized which should not hinder the aesthetics of the site.
The following items are listed in the Resolution as conditions of approval:
Relating to the mulch bin area, all mulch must be kept completely within the bins and any mulch that
ends up within the driveway or outside the bins must be cleaned up immediately.
Mulch piles within the sales bins cannot exceed the top of the bin by more than two (2) feet.
No other mulch can be displayed or stored on site, other than in the specifically approved areas.
If any issues arise this could be brought back to Plan Commission for possible re -review.

REQUEST: Approval of a BSO Amendment for Atonement Lutheran Church
Tax Key No. 2172.095 / S70 W16244 Martin Drive
SE ¼ of Section 3
PETITIONER: Sean Maher on behalf of Atonement Lutheran Church
INTRODUCED: April 7, 2015
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 020-2015
Atonement Lutheran Church is proposing a variety of site changes to better meet the needs of their church. The
proposed changes include the following:
Create a new outdoor worship space, in the general location of the previous space, that includes the
following items:
o Relocate the existing garage to a new location on the property
o Install paver paths and paver patio
o Install bleacher type seating

DISCUSSION PC 020-2015
The petitioner’s submittal includes a narrative along with a site plan, grading plan, landscape plan, and other project
details. As is noted above, the site already contains an outdoor feature in the same general location of the site as
the new outdoor worship area is proposed. Some of the features like the Columbarium and the memory garden are
going to be located north of the outdoor worship area. The existing garage is being relocated to the northwest of
the existing church, near the existing dumpster enclosure area.
The overall plan seems to be well thought out and appears to be a nice addition to the site. The following items are
listed in the Resolution as conditions of approval:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, All items noted above will require proper permits from the City and
further details may need to be provided at that time to ensure compliance with the codes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The proposed fire pit must be located at least 25’ from any structure
or combustible material per City codes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a more detailed parking lot diagram must be submitted to make
sure that all two-way drive lanes are at least 24’ wide and to make sure all new parking stalls meet
the City’s 10’ x 20’ size requirement.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, If phasing is going to occur with this project, details of the specific
phasing must be provided before any permits can be issued and before any work can occur on site.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, All proposed grading work and stormwater management must
receive final approvals from the Engineering Department before any constructi on can occur.

Outdoor Worship Space Project
Currently there is limited outdoor space for kids’ activities and no space for outdoor
worshiping or member related activities like and including cub scouts. The outdoor
worship space will allow members to worship and hold similar activities in a beautiful
outdoor natural setting and take advantage of the warmer months. The memory garden is
a reflective and contemplative space to remember those whom have passed and celebrate
their lives in a garden setting. The larger playground will allow more children to get
outdoors and receive the fresh air and exercise they surely need.
