RESOLUTION #PC 041-2017 - Approval of an Accessory Structure for the James property
located in the NW 1/4 of Section 14 (W150 S8234 Harvest Ct. / Tax Key No. 2214.996.019).
Commissioner Buckmaster made a motion to approve RESOLUTION #PC 041-2017 -
Approval of an Accessory Structure for the James property located in the NW 1/4 of
Section 14 (W150 S8234 Harvest Ct. / Tax Key No. 2214.996.019). Alderman Kubacki
seconded.
Motion Passed 3 in favor 1 opposed. Commissioner Spring voted no.
(audio time stamp 2:38) Planner Trzebiatowski explained the petitioner is looking to build an
accessory building on the east end of their property on Harvest Court. Harvest Court is
dedicated public right of way approved years ago when it was allowed to build a certain
number of homes on a publically dedicated but not publically approved right of way. This is no
longer allowed. The petitioner’s home and driveway is at the end of the publically improved
portion of the road. Their lot continues in an L-shape eastward down Harvest Ct. located on
the portion of the road that is publically dedicated but not built to city standards. There is a
private agreement between several of the property owners to share maintenance
responsibilities on this portion of the road. The reason for Plan Commission approval is when
the land was divided a note was placed on the CSM stating any future construction on lots on
the publically dedicated but not built to city standards portion of the road would need Plan
Commission review. A concern at the time was a possible further land division on the
petitioner’s property, which would then require the road to be built to City standards. The
request today is for an accessory building to store lawn equipment and misc. equipment.
There are wetlands running through the middle of the property and the petitioner’s decided this
was the best location for the accessory building. The building is well within the size limit.
Materials and colors will match the home.
Ald. Kubacki questioned how many homes are on the shared road. Planner Trzebiatowski
stated three.
Mayor Chiaverotti questioned if the property were to be divided what would be the process.
Planner Trzebiatowski explained it would need to go to Public Works and the road would
probably need to be brought up to City standards. If there was an accessory building on the
property divided they would have 6 months to a year to buid a home or the buiding would have
to come down.
Gail James, W150 S8234 Harvest Ct. - stated they do not have the money to develop the road
and recently offered to be part of the private agreement. The building will be used to store
equipment.
Jeff Frey, W149 S8282 Harvest Ct - stated there is legal paperwork for the access of the
driveway. Adding another access off the driveway could create legal issues. Only 3 properties
should have access. The James and the Gemols signed off they do not want access or
maintenance to the driveway. Concerned the building will be so far away from the main house
that it will be out of sight out of mind.
RESOLUTION #PC 042-2017 - Approval of a Building, Site, and Operation Plan Amendment
for InPro Corp located in the NE 1/4 of Section 16 (S82 W18792 Gemini Drive / Tax Key No.
2221.019.002).

June 6, 2017
Alderman Kubacki made a motion to approve RESOLUTION #PC 042-2017 - Approval
of a Building, Site, and Operation Plan Amendment for InPro Corp located in the NE
1/4 of Section 16 (S82 W18792 Gemini Drive / Tax Key No. 2221.019.002).
Commissioner Buckmaster seconded.
Motion Passed 4 in favor.
(audio time stamp 21:45) Planner Trzebiatowski explained the request is to install two
silos/tanks to store material used in processing. The silos will be located along Gemini and will
be 12 feet in diameter and 20 feet tall enclosed by a chain link fence with vertical slating and
landscaping. The silos will be painted a grey color to match the building.
Glen Kennedy, InPro Corporation - Inpro purchased the building a few years ago. The intent
is to move the excursion process from the Apollo facility to Gemini facility. The material is
plastic and non-toxic.
