Plan Commission Supplement PC 038-2015
For the meeting of: July 7, 2015
REQUEST: Conditional Use Grant - Reasonable Accommodations for the Disabled
S69 W13525 Bristlecone Lane / Tax Key No. 2163.129
SW ¼ of Section 1
PETITIONER: Russell DuQuaine on behalf of Jonathan & Rebecca Beckler
INTRODUCED: July 7, 2015
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 038-2015
Plans were submitted by Russell DuQuaine, on behalf of Jonathan & Rebecca Beckler, to build a handicap access
ramp within the front setback of their home located on Bristlecone Lane. A handicap access ramp is needed so
that a member of the Beckler family can access their home. Based on the layout and placement of the existing
home, the ramp needs to encroach into the front setback. The Zoning Code allows, via a Conditional Use Grant
(CUG), waivers to a dimensional zoning regulation that are needed to offer reasonable accommodations for a
person with disabilities.
CONSISTENCY PC 038-2015
Comprehensive Plan:
The 2020 Plan depicts the area to be used for Medium Density Residential
Uses. The request is allowed due to the CUG option listed in the Zoning Code.
There is no conflict with the Plan.
Zoning:
The property is zoned PD-4 Hale Park Meadows Planned Development District.
“Reasonable Accommodations for the Disabled” can be allowed with the
approval of a Conditional Use Grant (CUG). As such the proposed use can be
allowed based on Plan Commission approval.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 038-2015
As is stated above the Beckler family needs to have a handicap access ramp installed to their front door so one of
their family members can access the home. The contractor has proposed a “U” shaped ramp . This ramp will start
on the front side walk and lead to the front door. The Zoning for this district (PD-4) allows a 25 foot front setback.
The ramp is proposed with a setback of approximately 21 feet. That is a four (4) foot waiver. The ramp is being
designed in a way to minimalize the impact/encroachment into the front setback.
The Conditional Use Grant (CUG) portion of the Zoning Code has a section (14.03(7)) that was specifically added a
few years ago to allow waivers to a dimensional zoning regulation that are needed to offer reasonable
accommodations for a person with disabilities. This section also allows the Plan Commission the ability to place
conditions on said CUG. As such, the resolution states the following:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That if the current residents move out of this home or if the need for the ramp
ceases, the access ramp must be removed at that time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 038-2015
Approval of Resolution # PC 038-2015, citing that the handicap access ramp is being built to accommodate
access into the home for a disabled member of the family.

LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 036-2015
The petitioner is proposing to divide one parcel by Certified Survey Map to create two (2) parcels. Only
one parcel is shown on the CSM as the remnant land is not shown since it is over 20 acres in size and is
not being further developed at this time. The proposed lot is 130,680 square feet (3 acres) in area.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 036-2015
Comprehensive Plan:
The 2020 Plan depicts the area for Rural Density Residential uses. The
proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Zoning:
The property is currently zoned A-1 Agricultural District, which requires
a minimum lot size of 120,000 square feet and average lot width of 300
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 medium priority conservation areas on this site that appear to
be located within the far western portion of the proposed lot. The
proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Street System Plan: Right-of-way appears to have already been dedicated but the CSM will
note a dedication to be sure.
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 036-2015
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.
Staff recommends approval subject to meeting all items noted above and all technical corrections
received from the Engineering Division. The Resolution is drafted accordingly.

totaling around 3,179 square feet are permitted on the subject property. The
current proposal measures 2,646 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 039-2015
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 with 1-foot to 2-foot overhangs. The walls will
be forest green, the roof will be burnished slate, the wainscoting will be bronze, and the trim will be prairie wheat.
These colors must be similar to the home. The building is located over 90’ from the nearest public street and is
located in a fairly dense wooded area. The building is shown having decorative elements such as cupolas, a
pedestrian door, wainscoting, a covered lean-to, and overhangs similar to the house.
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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the accessory structure cannot be used for any business storage or business
operations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The wetlands on this property need to be delineated and surveyed before any
permit can be issued to ensure that the building and any associated driveways/parking areas do not encroach
within the wetlands or within 15 feet of them.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 039-2015
Approval of Resolution #PC 039-2015, finding that there will be no undue harm to the surrounding
properties, the building is located over 90’ from the nearest public street, and the location of the building
being located in a fairly dense wooded area. This is subject to the delineation and surveying of the
wetlands and making sure the proposal does not cross into the wetlands or within 15 feet of them.

For the meeting of: July 7, 2015
REQUEST: Conditional Use Grant - Reasonable Accommodations for the Disabled
S69 W13525 Bristlecone Lane / Tax Key No. 2163.129
SW ¼ of Section 1
PETITIONER: Russell DuQuaine on behalf of Jonathan & Rebecca Beckler
INTRODUCED: July 7, 2015
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 038-2015
Plans were submitted by Russell DuQuaine, on behalf of Jonathan & Rebecca Beckler, to build a handicap access
ramp within the front setback of their home located on Bristlecone Lane. A handicap access ramp is needed so
that a member of the Beckler family can access their home. Based on the layout and placement of the existing
home, the ramp needs to encroach into the front setback. The Zoning Code allows, via a Conditional Use Grant
(CUG), waivers to a dimensional zoning regulation that are needed to offer reasonable accommodations for a
person with disabilities.
CONSISTENCY PC 038-2015
Comprehensive Plan:
The 2020 Plan depicts the area to be used for Medium Density Residential
Uses. The request is allowed due to the CUG option listed in the Zoning Code.
There is no conflict with the Plan.
Zoning:
The property is zoned PD-4 Hale Park Meadows Planned Development District.
“Reasonable Accommodations for the Disabled” can be allowed with the
approval of a Conditional Use Grant (CUG). As such the proposed use can be
allowed based on Plan Commission approval.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 038-2015
As is stated above the Beckler family needs to have a handicap access ramp installed to their front door so one of
their family members can access the home. The contractor has proposed a “U” shaped ramp . This ramp will start
on the front side walk and lead to the front door. The Zoning for this district (PD-4) allows a 25 foot front setback.
The ramp is proposed with a setback of approximately 21 feet. That is a four (4) foot waiver. The ramp is being
designed in a way to minimalize the impact/encroachment into the front setback.
The Conditional Use Grant (CUG) portion of the Zoning Code has a section (14.03(7)) that was specifically added a
few years ago to allow waivers to a dimensional zoning regulation that are needed to offer reasonable
accommodations for a person with disabilities. This section also allows the Plan Commission the ability to place
conditions on said CUG. As such, the resolution states the following:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That if the current residents move out of this home or if the need for the ramp
ceases, the access ramp must be removed at that time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 038-2015
Approval of Resolution # PC 038-2015, citing that the handicap access ramp is being built to accommodate
access into the home for a disabled member of the family.

For the meeting of: July 7, 2015
REQUEST: Building, Site, and Operation Plan Amendment for American Hydraulics, Inc.
Tax Key No. 2223.006/ S83 W18666 Saturn Drive
SW ¼ of Section 16
PETITIONER: Jim Hurst, on behalf of American Hydraulics, Inc.
INTRODUCED: July 7, 2015
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 040-2015
On June 29, 2015 a submittal was received from Jim Hurst for American Hydraulics to add an additional
2,244 SF onto the rear of their existing building in order to meet the needs of their growing business.
CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED PLANS PC 040-2015
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the property for industrial uses. The petition is
consistent with the Plan.
Zoning: The property is zoned M-2, General Industrial. The use is permitted subject
to BSO approval.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 040-2015
As mentioned above the proposal is for American Hydraulics, a local Muskego Business Park business,
to expand their existing Building by 2,244 SF to aid their growing company. American Hydraulics is
located along Saturn Drive. The addition will extend off the northern portion of the existing building and
the existing parking/access will remain the same as today. The addition will be placed over an area that
currently contains fenced outdoor storage area.
The building addition is proposed to be clad with steel wall panels and a steel roof. All materials and
colors proposed will match the existing building materials found on the existing structure. Plan
Commission usually has allowed additions that match the existing materials of the principal structure to
remain even if 50% masonry is not found. Thus, approval is recommended below as submitted, per the
conditions listed below.
No new lighting or landscaping is required for the addition given the location. If any new lighting or
landscaping is proposed Planning staff must first review said proposals.
There are a few items that need to be updated/added before building permits can be issued as follows:
1. A Plat of Survey needs to be submitted for the site including the proposed addition. The City
needs to be sure that the building does not get any closer than 10 feet to the side lot line and no
closer than 15 feet to the rear lot line. Also, there is an easement along the rear lot line that must
not be encroached into. There is an older survey on file that indicated that the building has a very
slight angle towards the western lot line at the rear of the building. This is of a special concern
since it appears that the building currently is within 0.1 feet of the western offset limit.
2. Per the older survey on file, it appears that the existing building location is legal non -conforming
since it is located closer than 50 feet to the front lot line. With this being the case the addition
project can still proceed but a material cost list must be provided as part of the building permit to
make sure that the material costs for the addition do not exceed 50% of the current FMV of the
current building value, not including land values.
3. A grading plan will need to be submitted to show how the addition will work with the existing
grades and/or how the grades will be modified to accommodate the addition. Currently there is a
berm behind this existing building that will be encroached into. The Engineering Department will
be reviewing this item.
4. There are currently a few unscreened dumpster and other miscellaneous outdoor storage items
on site. Also, dumpsters must be enclosed within screened enclosure. As such, an enclosure
plan must be submitted to screen the dumpster. All other outdoor storage must be stored within
the building or removed from the site before occupancy for the addition would be able to be
granted.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 040-2015
Approval of Resolution PC 040-2015, subject to the conditions listed in the resolution and
supplement.

Plan Commission Supplement PC 041-2015
For the meeting of: July 7, 2015
REQUEST: Recommendation to Common Council to amend Chapter 17 Zoning Ordinance to add
Agritourism as an allowed use by Conditional Grant in the A-1 District
PETITIONER: City of Muskego
INTRODUCED: July 7, 2015
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
DISCUSSION PC 041-2015
The Plan Commission directed staff to draft a Zoning Code amendment to add Agritourism . This was
brought forward based on a conceptual review/discussion about the Godsell Farm to be allowed
agritourism practices. As such, the proposed amendment would allow Agritourism in the A-1 Agricultural
District with the approval of a Conditional Use Grant (CUG). The following code amendment/additions
are being proposed:
Chapter 17, Section 8.36(3)C.10. – Add Agritourism as an allowed use with a Conditional Use
Grant in the A-1 District
10. Agritourism
Chapter 17, Section 22.03 – Add the definition of Agritourism
Agritourism : Uses that combine tourism and agricultural practices that include activities that bring
visitors to a working farm or ranch for enjoyment and education.
Since Agritourism is listed as an allowed use by Conditional Use Grant (CUG) any applicant that would
like to request such use would come through the Plan Commission for a formal Conditional Use Grant
approval. This would involve a Public Hearing and Plan Commission review as is required for all CUG’s.
Note – The Plan Commission recommendation for this proposed change is happening before the Public
Hearing, which is scheduled to be held on July 14, 2015. If any concerns arise at the Public Hearing this
topic could be brought back to the Plan Commission for reconsideration and/or further discussion.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 041-2015
Staff has the Plan Commission resolution written for approval as we can see the benefits of
allowing these types of agricultural properties/business to be prosperous and beneficial.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 041-2015
