Plan Commission Supplement PC 065-2016
For the meeting of: October 4, 2016
REQUEST: Conditional Use Grant - Reasonable Accommodations for the Disabled
S84 W19678 Claire Bridge Ct. / Tax Key No. 2227.068
SW ¼ of Section 17
PETITIONER: 101 Mobility on behalf of Donald and Cathy Koehler
INTRODUCED: October 4, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 065-2016
Plans were submitted by 101 Mobility, on behalf of Donald and Cathy Koehler, to build a handicap access ramp
within the front setback of their home located on Claire Bridge Court. A handicap access ramp is needed so that a
member of the Koehler 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 065-2016
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-23 - Plum Creek 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 065-2016
As is stated above the Koehler 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 straight ramp off of the current front
stoop. The Zoning for this district (PD-23) allows a 35 foot front setback. The ramp is proposed with a setback of
approximately 30 feet. That is a five (5) foot waiver. The ramp is being designed to head towards the road rather
than along the front of the house due to existing landscaping and existing sidewalk locations.
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 065-2016
Approval of Resolution # PC 065-2016, citing that the handicap access ramp is being built to accommodate
access into the home for a disabled member of the family.

REQUEST: Additional Accessory Structure and Waiver of Materials
Tax Key No. 2261.993 / W145 S9658 Groveway Lane
NE ¼ of Section 26
PETITIONER: Joseph Cozza
INTRODUCED: October 4, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 066-2016
The petitioner is proposing to construct a 1,080 square foot (27’ x 40’) metal accessory structure on site. This
would also be the third accessory structure on the property. The structure will be used for personal storage of
items such as cars, boats, yard equipment, etc. Plans are attached for your review.
Plan Commission may waive the architectural requirements for accessory structures when any of the fol lowing are
met:
1. The structure is screened from view,
2. The principal structure is composed of materials, colors, or styles that 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 066-2016
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 RSE – Suburban Estate District. Accessory structures
totaling around 1,375 square feet are permitted on the subject property. The
current proposal measures 1,080 square feet in area. There is an existing
house on the property with two other accessory structures (totaling 288 square
feet in size). The total size of all accessory structures on the property is
proposed to be 1,368 square feet. The proposal meets the bulk requirements of
the Zoning Code except the architectural requirements of accessory structures
and having more than one accessory structure on the property.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 066-2016
The architectural requirements state that the accessory structure should have similar materials and colors as the
principal residence. Also, the code states that the Plan Commission must review multiple accessory structures on
one property. Planning Commission approval is being sought due to these concerns.
The petitioner is proposing a steel sided and steel-roofed structure. The walls will be dark bronze (brownish), the
roof will be brown, the trim/shutters ivory, and the doors ivory. These colors must be similar to the home. The
building is located about 300’ from the nearest public street. The building is shown having decorative elements
such as windows and shutters. The existing home has approximately 32” roof overhangs and the applicant is
asking for 16” roof overhangs on the accessory structure . Since 16” is still a good size, the resolution is drafted to
allow said roof overhangs. If the Plan Commission would like to see these modified, then the resolution would need
to be amended.
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 bu siness
operations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 066-2016
Approval of Resolution #PC 066-2016, finding that there will be no undue harm to the surrounding
properties and the building being located about 300’ from the nearest public street.

INTRODUCED: October 4, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 067-2016
The petitioner proposes to construct a 400 square foot (20’ x 20’) accessory structure on site. This building will be
the second accessory structure on this lot. Plans are attached for your review.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 067-2016
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the area for rural density residential land use. The
proposal for this residential outbuilding is consistent with the Plan.
Zoning:
The property is zoned RSE – Suburban Estate District. Accessory structures
totaling 1,030 square feet are permitted on the subject property. The current
proposal measures 400 square feet in area. There are two other accessory
structures that exists on the lot, one measuring 219 square feet with the other
measuring 49 square feet. The 49 square foot building is being removed as
part of this project. The grand total of all accessory structure square footage

meets the bulk requirements of the Zoning Code.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 067-2016

principal residence. The proposed building is proposed to be clad with siding and shingles, both of which will be similar
colors as the home. Said proposal does meet the Plan Commission’s standards for administrative approval of residential
accessory structures. The petitioner has stated that the newly proposed building will be used for personal storage.

Plan Commission Supplement PC 068-2016
For the meeting of: October 4, 2016
REQUEST: One (1) Lot Land Division – Rozeski Property
W185 S9584 Parker Drive / Tax Key No. 2270.999.003
NW ¼ of Section 28
PETITIONER: James Rozeski
INTRODUCED: October 4, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 068-2016
The petitioner is proposing to divide one parcel by Certified Survey Map to create two (2) parcels. Only
one (1) 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 130,938 square feet (3.006 acres) in area.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 068-2016
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 no priority conservation areas on this site. The proposal is
consistent with the Plan.
Street System Plan: Right-of-way is being dedicated as part of the proposed CSM. The
proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Adopted 208 Sanitary Sewer
Service Area:
The lot is served by a private on-site sewer system. The proposal is
consistent with the Plan.
Water Capacity Assessment
District: The lot is served by private water well. 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 new construction.
DISCUSSION PC 068-2016
Upon review of the CSM, the bulk requirements of the code appear to be met. As is noted above, the
CSM only includes one (1) parcel 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 owner has mentioned that there are some possible future
plans to re-divide the remnant lot, at which time a separate CSM would then be pursued. The remnant lot
is about 29.8 acres in size and it contains six existing outbuildings totaling 13,132 square feet in area,
which is within the allowed size limit of 25,970 square feet for outbuildings. The resolution states that a
note must be placed on the CSM stating that a home must be built on the remnant lot within one (1) year
of recording of the CSM or all outbuildings must be removed from the property by that time. This is due to
the code requiring that outbuildings be on a lot containing a home.
There currently is a DNR access easement that runs through this propert y. The owner has stated that
they have been working with the DNR to either relocate or remove the current easement. The resolution
states that any DNR easement changes/removal must be finalized and recorded before the CSM can
show any alteration to the DNR easement.
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. The following are some of the technical corrections/comments:
If anyone would like to build on the remnant lot down the road additional site investigations will
need to occur to ensure the buildability of said lot.
Staff recommends approval subject to meeting all items noted above and all technical corrections
received from the Engineering Division. The Resolution is drafted accordingly.

REQUEST: Second Accessory Structure
Tax Key No. 2174.932 / W180 S6669 Muskego Drive
NW ¼ of Section 4
PETITIONER: Ryan Rudersdorf
INTRODUCED: October 4, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 069-2016
The petitioner proposes to construct a 160 square foot (10’ x 16’) accessory structure on site. This building will be
the second accessory structure on this lot. Plans are attached for your review.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 069-2016
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 RL-3 – Lakeshore Residence District. Accessory
structures totaling 1,437 square feet are permitted on the subject property. The
current proposal measures 160 square feet in area. There is one other
accessory structure (boat house) that exists on the lot, which is 311 square feet
in size. The grand total of all accessory structure square footage with the
proposed accessory structure equals 471 square feet. The proposal meets the
bulk requirements of the Zoning Code.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 069-2016
Design Guide requirements state that Planning Commission approval is needed for more than one accessory
structure on a lot when it is being used for residential purposes . Plan Commission approvals are being sought
since there is already another accessory structure/boat house on this lot.
The architectural requirements state that the accessory structure should have similar materials and colors as the
principal residence. The proposed building is proposed to be clad with siding and shingles, both of which will be similar
colors as the home and the existing accessory structure. Said proposal does meet the Plan Commission’s standards for
administrative approval of residential accessory structures. The petitioner has stated that the newly proposed building
will be used for personal storage.
The Resolution also states the following items:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the building cannot be used for the operations of any business activities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the floor of the entire building must be concrete, asphalt, or pressure treated
lumber.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the colors of the proposed building must be similar to the colors of the home and the
existing accessory structure.

REQUEST: Rezoning from RS-3 Suburban Residence District to a Planned Development
Tax Key No. 2218.990.008
NW ¼ of Section 15
PETITIONER: John Wahlen, Cornerstone Development
INTRODUCED: October 4, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 055-2016
Cornerstone Development is petitioning for a rezoning for the 11.48 acre Pellman farm property that is located along
Woods Road just south of the Parkland Drive intersection. The property has frontage along Kurtze Lane as well. A
rezoning is requested from the existing RS-3 Suburban Residence District zoning district to the PD Planned
Development District. Cornerstone Development is proposing a c ondo development of thirty-four (34) units.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 055-2016
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the areas for Medium Density Residential use.
The proposed density is consistent with the Plan as discussed below.
Zoning: Proposal would be consistent with a PD Planned Development request
as discussed further below.
Park and Conservation Plan: No acquisitions or trail requirements are proposed in this area. The
proposal is consistent with the Plan. A Low Management Priority area is
found on the southeast portion of the property along Kurtze Lane where
a small forested area exists. A majority of this area is shown as
preserved for the development.
Street System Plan: 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 management would be required for the future concept
development shown as part of the rezoning. The proposal is consistent
with the Plan.
DISCUSSION PC 055-2016
Cornerstone Development is petitioning for a rezoning for the 11.48 acre Pellman Farm property that is located along
Woods Road just south of the Parkland Drive intersection. The property has frontage along Kurtze Lane as well. A
rezoning is requested from the existing RS-3 Suburban Residence District zoning district to the PD Planned
Development District. Cornerstone Development is proposing a condo development of thirty-four (34) units that would
include all ranch style structures consisting of eleven (11) two -family structures and three (3) four family structures.
The development would include a clubhouse and would have internal private roads that stemmed off of Woods Road
and Kurtze Lane. The conceptual land division map, condo concept plan, a side -by-side zoning map, and building
renderings of the proposed structures are found attached. Lastly, an updated set of narratives (dated Sept 19th and
20th) are found in the supplement from the developers. As Plan Commission may know the public hearing for this
rezoning took place back on August 23, 2016. The developers elected to wait on the Plan Commission recommendation
in order to hold a neighborhood meeting to go over any concerns. The two (2) narratives discuss some of the details
they brought forth during this neighborhood meeting.
The 2020 Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as Medium Density Residential (1-2.99/units an acre OR 1 unit per
14,569 square feet). The proposal consists of thirty-four (34) units on 11.48 acres which equates to 1 unit per 14,708
square feet. The proposal is consistent with the 2020 Plan and would not require an amendment at this time.
The existing RS-3 zoning would allow single-family parcels of a minimum 15,000 square feet and 100 feet in width. The
proposed PD Planned Development zoning allows a developer to request a development that might not f it exactly into
Muskego’s zoning categories. In this case, Cornerstone Development seeks the Planned Development zoning to allow
the development to be proposed on a condominium style development where there are no exact property lines and the
various owners would have private and public common spaces. The development would have varying structure
setbacks as well. Further the development would be allowed to have private roads and a clubhouse feature as shown in
the proposed attached concept plan. The developers have noted that they are generally following the RM -2 Multiple
Family Residential District when designing this proposal.
Upon any approval of this rezoning it should be noted that it still would be dependent on Plan Commission site and
operation approval for building architecture, condo plat approval, and land division approval. Further, site utilities would
require a developer’s agreement before the Common Council.
Planning Commission may recall that Cornerstone Development came to Plan Commission in July 2016 for a
conceptual review. The development was looked upon fondly at that time. The Plan Commission saw that the 2020
Comp Plan density would be followed, that the structures were of high end, and that the structures seemed to fit well
into the general single family neighborhood.
Public Hearing
The public hearing was held before the Common Council at their August 23 rd meeting. It should be noted that a protest
petition was filed from the area residents to the Common Council. The City Attorney found the protest petition valid
under State law which will require the Common Council to enact a super majority vote (6/7) in order for the rezoning to
pass. The protest petition does not affect a Plan Commission recommendation vote however.
The following was heard at the public hearing (staff comments in red):
1. William Kritter, W166 S8076 Pellman Lane - Prefers a single family development. The developer
have shown that a 20 lot single family subdivision would most likely occur under the existing RS-3
zoning.
2. Kathy Westerbeek, W193 S7952 Ancient Oaks Drive - The development would be an asset to the
community. There is a demand for this type of housing.
3. Daniel Hanrahan, W162 S7947 Bay Lane Place - Were Kurtze Lane and Woods Road assessed to
accommodate the additional traffic flow? If approved, the developers future infrastructure plans would
be assessed by the city’s engineering department to determine what street upgrades might be
required for the development. Was cost benefit analysis done on changing from single family to
condos in terms of tax revenue? There is none presented at this point.
4. Jim Reik, W165 SS8266 Kurtze Lane - Water source? City sewer and water exist along Woods Road
and would service this future development. What if they don't sell? Developer noted at public hearing
that they only build a structure after half of one structure is bought. Is future lake access a
possibility? No, there is no part of this development parcel that has lake access.
5. Kevin Ryan, W163 S7984 Bay Lane Place - Access to lake also his concern. There is no part of this
development parcel that has lake access.
6. Karen Fockel, S79 W16655 Woods Road - She is part owner of the subject property. Believes condo
development is least disruptive. The property with lake access is separate and is not part of the
proposed development.
7. Kerry Foti, S79 W16723 Green Court - Concern is safety in regards to traffic and storm ponds.
Developer would have to meet street and stormwater ordinances upon approval of a rezoning.
8. Deb Bolton, W186 S7543 Kingston Drive - Not for or against right now. Playing a shell game with
densities.
9. Mark Laehn, W165 S8254 Kurtze Lane - Does not want the condos to ever have lake access. They
would not. Would like to see a plus/minus type of display regarding developing the site as single
family vs. condos. Some details of such a display would be subjective, but the Developer provided
many of these notes in their recent narrative and at the public hearing. Here are some of the details
they noted:
An RS-3 single family subdivision development would have approximately 20 lots and 20 main
structures vs. the 34 units in 14 structures in the developer proposal.
The developer shows an RS-3 single family subdivision development would have
approximately 6.38 acres of open space when built out vs. 7.75 acres of open space in the
developer proposal. Stormwater management needs would be less in the developer proposal
as well as a result of this.
An RS-3 single family subdivision development would have a road system owned and
maintained by the City of Muskego vs. roads owned and maintained by the developer in the
developer proposal.
An RS-3 single family subdivision development would have individual lots maintained
(landscaping, etc.) by the private owners vs. landscaping maintained by the developer in the
developer proposal. Further, the lot and landscaping would have to be kept up and maintained
in perpetuity as the landscape plan would be subject to approval by the City’s Planning
Commission in a Building, Site, and Operation Plan.
The developer shows that an RS-3 single family subdivision development would have
approximately 3.5 people per home which is approximately 70 people in the 20 lots vs. the
developer proposal having an average of 1.3 people per unit resulting in 44 people I the 34
units. Vehicle proportions may be the same as well.
For reference the developers note that they are designing the proposal under the general requirements of the
RM-2 district and they appear to be meeting these requirements as follows:
The RM-2 district has public street front setbacks of 40’ and side setbacks of 15’ which seem
to be attainable in the concept plan.
Heights of buildings cannot exceed 30’ in the RM-2 district and one story buildings are
proposed.
Buildings should have 2-8 units in any one structure and there are 11 two-family units and 3
four-family units proposed.
7,000 square feet of open space per unit is required and they are showing ~9,930 SF per unit.
One unit per 10,000 square feet of land area is found and the developers are showing 1 unit
per 14,714 square feet.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 055-2016
Approval of Resolution PC 055-2016 seeing that the proposed development meets the densities of the
Comprehensive Plan, will has less burden on city services, should fit the neighb orhood well, will have quality
high end architecture, and the property will have to be kept up in perpetuity in regards to landscaping and
maintenance.

Pellmann Farms Rezoning Narrative
Dear Mr. Muenkel;
The proposed project is located southeast from the intersection of Woods Road and Parkland
Drive and north of Kurtze Lane. The property is cur rently zoned Suburban Residence District (RS-3).
It is proposed to be rezoned as a Planned Developme nt (PD). This development will most closely
resemble the zoning of RM-2 Multiple Family Residen ce which requires a 40 foot minimum setback
and 15 foot side setbacks. The proposed layout will have a 25 foot minimum setback and will conform
to all other RM-2 zoning requirements. The building s are separated by 30 feet or more. The project is
11.48 acres in size and approximately 14 condominiu m buildings (34 homes) are proposed. There is
a proposed single family lot located on the corner of Kurtze Lane and Pellmann Lane. The 2020 plan
depicts the areas for medium density residential us e (1-2.99 units an acre). The proposed density of
the development is 2.95 units per acre, which will meet the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
The layout places the four families and the clubhou se along Woods Road. The two families
are concentrated on the east side of the property. This layout is proposed to foster a community
feel. An association will be created and will perfo rm maintenance activities, landscaping, and
snowplowing. Buildings will range from 4 family units which are about 9,000 s.f. to 2 family units
which are about 5,000 s.f. on average. The building s will be single story ranches and will range in
price from $319,999 to $399,999. The homeowners will have the option of a few differ ent models
of homes each having its own slight variation. The architecture will be of a similar theme and will
all be built by Cornerstone Development.
Access to the development will be off Woods Road an d will align with Parkland Drive. There
will also be an access point from Kurtze Lane. Ther e is a proposed emergency access entrance just
northeast of the entrance on Woods Road. No impact to wetlands or floodplain is anticipated as part
of this development. Stormwater management areas ar e provided on the east and west side of the
property. The clubhouse will be built first along w ith a few select buildings as part of phase 1. The
rest of the buildings will be built upon the sellin g of each of its homes. The site proposes to have
public water main and sanitary sewer run through th e site in an easement. The storm sewer on site
will be private. The proposed road through the site will also be private and maintained by the
condominium association. There are trees located on the south portion of the site. Building 14 and
the single family lot will impact the existing tree s, but all attempts will be made to preserve as man y
trees as possible.
Please review and contact me if you have any questi ons. Thank you.

RE: The Glen at Pellma n n Farm Rezoning Supplemental Information
Dear Mr. Muenkel :
As you are aware, this project was presented at a public hearing on August 23 rd. We received
both positive and negative feedback from neighbors and City residents. Subsequently, on our own
initiative, we hel d a neighborhood meeting on September 1 st where there was additional discussion
between neighbors and the development team. As a result of this informational meeting w e would
like to summarize the comments and provide some additional insights accordingly.
The main concern we discussed was the change in use and the resulting density. This further
boiled down to questions relative to condominium over -utilizing the land with respect to the amount
of greenspace and number of people . The current site plan for the condominiums will result in 4.1
acres of impervious area. If a single family subdivision was to be constructed instead, the maximum
impervious area per RS-3 zoning would be 5.5 acres. With regards to the number of people, existing
neighborhoods Cornerstone has created average about 1.3 people per home. This would equate to
about 44 people in the 34 condominium homes . A traditional subdivision of 20 homes (assuming 3.5
people per home , which is the industry standard) would have approximately 70 people. Therefore, a
single family subdivis ion could result in more impervious area and more people than what is being
proposed for this condominium home neighborhood .
In addition to the amount of greenspace, there were several questions about the quality of
greenspace. All Cornerstone developments have a high level of consistent landscaping , which gets
maintained to a high degree as well. As evidence we point to any of their existing neighborhoods,
including Pilgrim Glen , in Menomonee Falls , which we have invited people to visit to see for
themselves. Conversely, with a traditional subdivision, the landscaping may vary substantially from
lot to lot and there is no guarantee that each lot owner will provide an adequate amount of screening
to adjacent neighbors and then maintain that lan dscaping over time.
We discussed the appropriateness of the PD zoning versus an RM -2 zoning. The propose d
development meets the density requirement listed in the RM -2 zoning district. The RM -2 district is
not being proposed here because the district im plies frontage along a public road. Since the
roadways are private, th ose setbacks would not apply. In addition, as is customary with a
condominium development, there are no internal lots. The RM -2 zoning appears to be written
assuming that each buildin g would be on its own lot. On the flip side, the PD zoning gives the City
the ability to ask for and require certain site specific improvements that would not be required under
the RM -2 zoning. This is most relevant when it comes to landscaping and scree ning.
There was a bit of concern about access to the lake and the seller’s intent on other adjacent
properties. The plan does not and will not include any land that would allow lake access. This is
another reason to use the PD zoning , as this can be wr itten into the PD conditions to not allow lake
access in the event that future parties try to gain access. However, there is no intention of any lake
access now or in the future.
As well, there were a few concerns about overall neighborhood safety. W hile Cornerstone
does not limit sales to any specific age of person, their experience and the type of product offered
generally markets more readily to aging couples or singles without children , all who want to avoid the
maintenance that comes with a tradi tional home. Professionals with occupations requiring regular
travel are also not uncommon. Cornerstone communities are generally safe, quiet and non -intrusive
on the surrounding neighborhoods.
There were a few other miscellaneous questions relating to architecture, traffic, stormwater,
grading and other site specific items. It is the intent of Cornerstone to fully meet all applicable City
and state ordinances and to work with staff to satisfy t he City Plan Commission with respect to the
details of the design . Based on initial staff conversations and the neighborhood that Cornerstone
intends to create here we do not foresee any issues of concern going forward .
Please review and contact me if y ou have any questions. Thank you.

Plan Commission Supplement PC 063-2016
For the meeting of: October 4, 2016
REQUEST: Rezoning from BP-3 Business Park District to RS-1 Suburban Residence District, a 2020
Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Business Park to Medium Density Residential and a Two Lot
Certified Survey Map
College Avenue / Tax Key No. 2166.997.001
NW ¼ of Section 2
PETITIONER: Bill Carity, Carity Land Corporation
INTRODUCED: October 4, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 063-2016
Petitioner has submitted a rezoning request for a parcel along College Avenue. The rezoning request is
to change the existing zoning of BP-3 Business Park District to RS-1 Suburban Residence District, a
2020 Comprehensive Plan amendment to Medium Density Residential uses, and a Two Lot Certified
Survey Map per the submittal described in more detail below. The rezoning and 2020 Comprehensive
Plan amendment only apply to the northern portion of the property, as is shown on the submitted
maps/exhibits.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 063-2016
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the area for Business Park use. The proposal is
to amend to Medium Density Residential Uses in the Plan.
Zoning: The current zoning is BP-3 Business Park District and the proposal is to
change the northern area of this lot, along College Avenue, to RS-1
Suburban Residence District, which is similar to the surrounding
properties to the west and east.
Park and Open Space Plan: No acquisitions or trail requirements are proposed in this area. The
proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Conservation Plan: No acquisition or management priorities are depicted in this area. The
proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Street System Plan: College Ave was previously dedicated. The proposal is consistent with
the Plan.
Adopted 208 Sanitary Sewer
Service Area:
Public sanitary sewer serves the properties. The proposal is consistent
with the Plan.
Water Capacity Assessment
District:
The northern residential property is served by private wells and the
larger commercial lot is served with municipal water. The proposal is
consistent with the Plan.
Stormwater Management
Plan:
Stormwater management is not required for residential CSM’s and the
commercial lot already has stormwater management accounted for.
The proposal is consistent with the Plan.
DISCUSSION PC 063-2016
Rezoning
Carity Land Corp. is petitioning for a rezoning for a property along College Avenue to change the existing
zoning of BP-3 Business Park District to RS-1 Suburban Residence District. The area requesting the
rezoning is only the northern most portion of this lot along College Avenue. The proposed zoning of RS-1
is the same zoning that already exists on the adjacent two residential lots in this area. This new zoning
would be consistent with the neighboring properties.
2020 Comprehensive Plan
The 2020 Plan depicts the area for Business Park use. The proposal is to amend to Medium Density
Residential use. This will facilitate the possible future development of this area into two possible new
residential lots.
The 2020 Plan specifically discusses allowing 2020 Land Use Plan Amendments by the Council and
Planning Commission as follows:
Plan Amendments: The Comprehensive Plan is not a strict blueprint for development and l and use patterns
in the City of Muskego. The Plan will be flexible as constraints of the environment and community desires
may change. The recommendations and objectives set forth herein were based upon existing factual data and
the spoken priorities of those involved in the planning process. During the course of the planning process, it
was known by those involved that constraints of the environment, infrastructure needs, or individual
aspirations might change. Thus, this Plan should be amended if demonstrated as appropriate to the Common
Council. However, amendments should only be made after a rational evaluation of the existing conditions
and the potential impacts of such a change are made. Thus, this Plan recommends that the following be
answered and/or shown to the Common Council and Planning Commission before any amendment request is
fulfilled:
1. What has changed with the parcel(s) since the adoption of the 2020 Plan that warrants a new
thinking/direction for the area?
2. Demonstrate that the proposed amendment is consistent in all respects to the spirit and intent of the City’s
ordinances, is in conformity with the general plans for community development, would not be contrary to
the general welfare and economic prosperity of the City or of the immediate neighborhood, that the specific
development plans have been prepared with competent professional advice and guidance, and that the
benefits and improved design of the resultant development justifies the variation from the normal
requirements of the adopted Comprehensive Plan.
3. Any other criteria that the Council and/or Planning Commission deems necessary. Said criteria may be
adopted in the form of an adopted policy by the aforementioned bodies of Muskego government.
Public Hearing
The Council held the public hearing for this request at their Tuesday September 27th meeting. One
neighbor, David Rogers (S63 W15298 Garden Ter.), spoke at the hearing and voiced his unhappiness
with the commercial developments that have occurred in this area.
CSM
The petitioner is proposing to divide one parcel by Certified Survey Map to create two (2) parcels. The
lots will range in size from 1.89 acres to 17.79 acres. The CSM would separate the residential lot from the
commercial lot. The northern lot, to be rezoned to residential, is approximately 1.89 acres and has
approximately 385 feet of College Avenue frontage. The RS-1 zoning district requires parcels to be at
least 30,000 square feet and 120 feet in width when sewer is available. This northern area of this parcel
doesn’t serve well for business park purposes due to the grades and location next to College Avenue.
Upon review of the CSM, the bulk requirements of the code appear to be met. The CSM resolution is
subject to engineering corrections.

DISCUSSION PC 064-2016
Rezoning
Carity Land Corp. is petitioning for a rezoning for a property along College Ave to amend the existing
zoning of B-3 General Business District to RS-1 Suburban Residence District. The petitioner is
requesting this rezoning in order to allow the parcel to be ut ilized for a future single family home or
possibly be sold to an existing single family neighbor for a lot combination. This parcel only has frontage
along College Avenue now and doesn’t serve well for a business park use anymore given the grades and
location.
The parcel to be rezoned is approximately .57 acres (24,663 SF) and has approximately 178 feet of
College Avenue frontage. RS-1 zoning exists in the immediate area, however the remnant parcel doesn’t
meet RS-1 requirements (30,000 SF required). There also is RS-3 zoning in the area, but that requires
unusually small lots for this existing area. Due to this , the RS-2 zoning district is requested to make it
conforming as the RS-2 district requires at least 20,000 square feet and 110 feet in width when sewer is
available. Sewer exists along the frontage of College Avenue at this time.
2020 Comprehensive Plan
The 2020 Plan depicts the area for Business Park us e. The proposal is to amend to Medium Density

Public Hearing
The Council held the public hearing for this request at their Tuesday September 27th meeting. There was
one homeowner that spoke at the hearing. Bob & Lizabeth Ruehle, who live at S63 W15592 College
Avenue, stated that they wanted it to be known that they desire to maintain their property as commercial
zoning. Upon review of the Zoning Map and 2020 Comprehensive Plan, the property is currently zoned
RS-1 Suburban Residence District, not a commercial district. This has not recently changed. The 2020
Comprehensive Plan does identify this property for future Business Park uses.

REQUEST: Conditional Use Grant - Reasonable Accommodations for the Disabled
S84 W19678 Claire Bridge Ct. / Tax Key No. 2227.068
SW ¼ of Section 17
PETITIONER: 101 Mobility on behalf of Donald and Cathy Koehler
INTRODUCED: October 4, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 065-2016
Plans were submitted by 101 Mobility, on behalf of Donald and Cathy Koehler, to build a handicap access ramp
within the front setback of their home located on Claire Bridge Court. A handicap access ramp is needed so that a
member of the Koehler 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 065-2016
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-23 - Plum Creek 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 065-2016
As is stated above the Koehler 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 straight ramp off of the current front
stoop. The Zoning for this district (PD-23) allows a 35 foot front setback. The ramp is proposed with a setback of
approximately 30 feet. That is a five (5) foot waiver. The ramp is being designed to head towards the road rather
than along the front of the house due to existing landscaping and existing sidewalk locations.
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 065-2016
Approval of Resolution # PC 065-2016, citing that the handicap access ramp is being built to accommodate
access into the home for a disabled member of the family.

APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE GRANT FOR A HANDICAP ACCESS RAMP WITHIN
THE FRONT SETBACK LOCATED AT S84 W19678 CLAIRE BRIDGE CT
(TAX KEY NO. 2227.068)
WHEREAS, Plans were submitted by 101 Mobility, on behalf of Donald and Cathy Koehler, for a
Conditional Use Grant for a handicap access ramp to be built within the front setback at the
property located at S84 W19678 Claire Bridge Ct. / Tax Key No. 2227.068, and
WHEREAS, Said property is currently zoned PD-23 Plum Creek Planned Development District,
and said use is a permitted use by Conditional Use Grant, and
WHEREAS, Chapter 17, Section 14.03(7) governs “Reasonable Accommodations for the
Disabled” and that sections can allow waivers to a dimensional zoning regulation to be granted
through a Conditional Use Grant (CUG) to offer reasonable accommodations for a person with
disabilities, and
WHEREAS, A handicap access ramp is proposed in front of this existing home to allow ramp
access to the front door, and
WHEREAS, This property is typically required to have a front setback of 35 feet and the proposal
(for the ramp) is seeking a setback of about 30 feet from the front lot line, and
WHEREAS, The ramp is being designed to head towards the road rather than along the front of
the house due to existing landscaping and existing sidewalk locations.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves of the Conditional Use
Grant for a handicap access ramp to be built within the front setback at the property located at
S84 W19678 Claire Bridge Ct. / Tax Key No. 2227.068.
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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a copy of said plans be kept on file in the Community
Development Department and that all aspects of this plan shall be maintained in perpetuity unless
otherwise authorized by the Plan Commission.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That failure to comply with the approval contained in this resolution

REQUEST: Conceptual Review for Whorley Storage
Hillendale Drive (Part of Lot 1 of CSM 11465) / Tax Key No. 2180.994.003
SE ¼ of Section 5
PETITIONER: Mark Whorley
INTRODUCED: October 4, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 070-2016
The petitioner has submitted for conceptual review for a possible new mini-storage facility located along
Hillendale Drive, behind Fox River Christian Church. This overall area recently received approvals for a
new building for Starz Dance Academy and for a future office building, both on the southwest side of this
overall property. The area now being discussed is on the eastern portion of the lot.
The property that the applicant is looking to purchase and develop the mini-storage units on would be
about 1.7 acres in size and would be on the southern portion of this eastern lot.
The petitioner is requesting conceptual approval to get comments and direction from the Planning
Commission regarding the proposal. The petitioner will be present at the meeting to further explain the
conceptual review and to answer any questions.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 070-2016
Comprehensive Plan:
The 2020 Plan depicts the area for commercial uses. The proposed
concept is consistent with the Plan, if approved.
Zoning: The property is zoned B-2 – General Business District. Mini-storage
uses are allowable in this district with the approval of a Conditional Use
Grant (CUG).
DISCUSSION PC 070-2016
The overall plan for the development on this lot would be to have a total of three mini-storage building on
the lot, which would be built in three stages over a two-three year period. There would be a total of 58
units. The stages would include the following details:
Stage 1
Construction of the entry driveway, located off the interior roadway system currently also used by
Fox River Christian Church.
Construction of a 20’ x 200’ storage building. The building would be built on a conc rete slab with
a colored brick structure, a steel substructure, and a green standing seem roof. The building
would contain 20 units.
Construction a driveway on the east side of the building to access the doors of the storage units.
Stage 2
Construction of a 40’ x 140’ storage building. The building would look the same as the other
building. The building would contain 28 units.
Construction of a driveway around the entire building to access the doors of the storage units.
Stage 3
Construction of a 35’ x 130’ storage building. The building would look the same as the other
building. The building would contain 10 units.
Construction of a driveway on the west side of the building to access the doors of the storage
units.
The applicant has noted that Building 1 and 3 will enclose the site from the west and the east and fencing
would be added to the north and south to further securing the site. There will be a sliding gate with
keypad entry for access to the facility off the existing interior road system. Also, the applicant stated that
all buildings will have electricity and Building 3 might contain a small office for the facility which would
require sewer and water at that time. Lastly, the applicant noted that they would be adding some
landscaping to further help the site look natural.
A few items that the Plan Commission and/or the applicant may want to think about now or into the future
are as follows:
Architectural details need to be developed so we can determine how this project would fit within
the neighborhood and with the Racine Avenue Gateway Design Guide and the General Design
Guide requirements.
Examination of any possible stormwater management requirements that may be required for this
site.
Details relating to the exact site layout would need to be examined to make sure all driveways
and fire lane/fire streets are at the proper required widths.
How the overall use may or may not affect the neighborhood, considering there are single -family
homes along the street on Hillendale Drive and to the south of this development?
How items such as lighting, landscaping, signage, screening, etc. will be proposed/installed?
How will screening, landscaping, and any other concerns be addressed in between phases,
before the full build out is completed?
Would there be any proposal for outdoor storage on the site, as that could require a different type
of screening and/or more robust screening?
Since there is a portion of this site that is a former landfill, the owner should talk with the DNR
relating to any concerns or conditions they may have relating to any development of this site.
DIRECTION PC 070-2016
The petitioner will be present at the meeting to further explain the project and to answer any questions.
No formal approval or denial will be given at this m eeting and no guarantees can be made. This
conceptual approval is intended to solicit comments, suggestions, and ideas. If the petitioner would like
to take the next step and eventually apply for the suggested review process, the comments received at
this meeting must be addressed as part of the formal submittal.
