Plan Commission Minutes 3
March 6, 2018
Planner Trzebiatowski explained this site has a required annual review to be done every other
year in March. The site was found to be out of compliance with three of the newest buildings
not having occupancy due to the roofs of the buildings being varying striped colors and fencing
having varying striped colors. A memo was sent to the owner on January 9th and a letter was
sent on February 26th, but the owner has not gotten back to the city. Staff is recommending
deferral to the next meeting to allow the owner another few weeks to resolve the issues.

Commissioner Jacques made a motion to approve RESOLUTION PC 019-2018 -
Recommendation to Council to Amend the Zoning Map of the City of Muskego from
B-3 General Business to DR-1 Downtown Revival District for the properties located in
the SE 1/4 of Section 9 (Tax Key No. 2196.955 & 2196.954 / S75 W17385 Janesville
Road). Commissioner Bartlett seconded.
Motion Passed 7 in favor.
PC 020-2018 - Discussion of a Conceptual Land Division for the Janusz property located in the
NE 1/4 of Section 34 (S103 W16115 Heinrich Drive / Tax Key No. 2293.999.001 / S103
W16115 Heinrich Drive).
Planner Trzebiatowski explained the petitioner is requesting a reduction to the 80-feet of
frontage requirement in the land division ordinance. The petitioner, Fred Janusz, was present
and explained the reasoning for this request is to make the land more useable for the homes
and outbuilding placement. There is limited right of way frontage to this lot. The only frontage
to a public right of way is along Loomis Road (STH 36), but there is no access to Loomis
Road. Access to the property is through an easement off of Heinrich Drive. The petitioner is
requesting a reduction to 40 feet in one option and 72.5 feet in another option. It was the
consensus of the Plan Commission that if all other areas of the land division ordinance can be
met the Plan Commission would be in favor of a reduction to 70-feet of road frontage.

Plan Commission Supplement PC 013-2018
For the meeting of: April 9, 2018
REQUEST: Annual Review for RD Meyer Mini Storage
Tax Key No. 2165.998.012 / W145 S6550 Tess Corners Drive
NE ¼ of Section 2
PETITIONER: Community Development Department – Planning Services
INTRODUCED: March 6, 2018
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 013-2018
The Plan Commission approved a Building, Site, and Operation Plan for R.D. Meyer & Associates, Inc. for the
property in the Tess Corners Industrial Park located at W145 S6550 Tess Corners Drive (Tax Key No.
2165.998.012) on August 15, 2006, by Resolution #P.C. 069-2006 and further amended by #P.C. 020-2016.
Plan Commission stipulated in Resolution #P.C. 069-2006 that an annual review be completed in March to
make sure the stipulations of the original BSO approvals were being followed.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 013-2018
UPDATE
The City received a letter from the owner on March 7, 2018, after the Plan Commission meeting,
explaining what occurred on site and what his thoughts were on the issues at hand. A further
follow-up letter was sent to the owner on March 20, 2018 outlining the opt ions for the owner to
proceed with. On March 26, 2018 the owner submitted a Building, Site and Op eration (BSO) Plan
amendment with his plan on how he would wish to proceed. The owner provided a few options on
each topic that he feels are suitable as follows. Photos are also provided below.
Roof Color – The applicant suggests either leaving the roof s as-is, painting the larger 80’ x 168’ to
match the striped roof, or painting white over the red and blue on the new buildings.
Staff Response – The City’s boards/committee adopt Design Guides and general aesthetic
regulations to ensure orderly and pleasing development within the City. Color details
were never provided to the City at the building permit time as was required by the
approved Plan Commission resolution that approved the three newer buildings. Also,
since all other approved roofs were approved as gray or white the City assumed that all
new roofs would match since the buildings matchi ng was brought up as a concern many
times in the development process. There have been no recent Plan Commission approved
buildings with striped roofs. Based on this information, staff recommends that the roofs
be altered (replace roofing material or paint the roof) to match the gray or white roofs that
have been approved on the other buildings to keep consistence throughout the site. If is
important to note that given the roof pitch and building size and location, these roofs are
visible from Tess Corner Drive and surrounding sites.
Fence Slats – The applicant suggests either leaving the slats as-is or removing the red slats and
increasing the width of the blue and white colored slats with the addition of two or three 5’ x 8’
flags in the fencing.
Staff Response – Fence slating was never requested by the owner in any approvals. All
slating typically needs City approvals. Fence slats have not recently been approved by
the Plan Commission on sites when the fence areas were near roadway or near the front of
a lot and when the slats did not match the building colors. The most recent slat approvals
have been limited to gates, when other solid type fencing was approved on other portions
of a site, and when the slats were to be on a portion of a property that are not on the front
of a property. There are better types of screening available for the front of a lot. Based on
this information, staff recommends that the slats either be removed completely or they be
replaced with non-striped slats (one consistent color) that match the main wall color of the
buildings. Staff does not have a problem with the one existing U.S. flag that is currently
woven into the fence gate as this one flag is a nice feature within the gate.
Bollard Color – The applicant suggests either leaving the bollards yellow or that the City purchase
bollard covers for him to cover the existing yellow bollards with.
Staff Response – The approved Plan Commission resolution from the most recent building
approvals and the building permit approval letter for said buildings specifically noted that
the bollards needed to be colored to match the building colors. Any past bollards were
not specifically allowed to be yellow by the City. Any yellow bollards were placed at the
owner’s own will and did not receive City approval. Based on this information, staff
recommends that the bollards that were installed around the newer front fence and the
three newer buildings be colored to match the main building wall colors. Any bollards that
are older and further back on site can remain their existing color since they are not very
visible.
The owner has also stated that none of these items relate to occupancy of the new buildings and as
such should not hold up granting of occupancy. These items are very specifically related to
occupancy of the building as these are items that are conditions of the Plan Commission approval
and/or Building Permit approval, which all relate to the items added as part of the approvals/permits for
the three new buildings. Until these issues have an agreed upon solution with a set date of completion,
occupancy cannot be granted.
The Plan Commission needs to decide how they would like to proceed on each item noted above.
Below are photos of this site and the items that area in question.

Current Conditions
___________________________________
A site inspection was completed on February 22, 2018 and while the property was maintained well, review of
City records revealed that the three newest storage buildings on site have not received occupancy yet and this
is due to the roofs of the buildings having varying striped colors and the fencing having varying striped colors.
These varied striped colors were not approved by the Plan Commission and do not appear to meet the
intentions of the design guide for this area. These issues were originally brought up to the property owner via a
memo on January 9, 2017 but no changes have been made since that time and the owner has not contacted
us about resolving the issue at hand.
Based on this annual review process, a letter was sent to the property owner about these issues again on
February 26, 2018. The letter gave the property owner until March 1, 2018 to contact the City to discuss a
resolution to these violations. As of March 2, 2018 the owner has not gotten back to the City to resolve these
issues. As such staff is recommending deferral of this item to allow the owner another few weeks to resolve
the issues. If the applicant does not develop a plan to resolve these issues, then additional actions may be
taken, including the possible issuance of citations.
It is important to note that the owner has been made aware that he does not have occupancy granted for the
use of these three new buildings and that any current use of these three buildings would be illegal. These units
need to be vacant until these issues are resolved.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 013-2018
Approval of Resolution # PC 013-2018, subject to the staff recommendations listed above.
Note – The resolution will need to be amended and have additional wording added to solidify what
the Plan Commission is going to allow on the site.

For the meeting of: April 9, 2018
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 9, 2018
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 026-2018
The petitioner is proposing a temporary greenhouse structure for the sale of plants and flowers for 2018-2020. 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 20’ x 30’ greenhouse. Outside the greenhouse will be
a 20’ x 60’ 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.
Proposed signage will be similar as used in past years and will be placed on the fence. Greenhouse operations are
proposed from approx. May 1th – July 3th, 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 026-2018
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.

General Design Guide The General Design Guide governs this area. See comments below about
building design.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 023-2018
The applicant is proposing to build a new 4,686 SF convenience store/gas station that will include a
separate canopy area to cover 6 multi-product fuel dispensers (12 total fueling stations). This property
was previously zoned M-2 (General Industrial District) and in 2008 the property owner will ingly changed
the zoning to B-2 (Local Service Center District) in an effort to limit the possible allowed uses on this site
and to address some of the neighbors concern relating to allowed uses. The proposed use is allowed
with Plan Commission approval of a Building, Site and Operation (BSO) Plan and a Conditional Use
Grant (CUG). The proposed hours of the business are 5:00 AM to 12:00 AM. Since noise
concerns/issues stem largely from deliveries, the resolution is drafted to state that all deliveries (products,
fuel, etc.) and trash pick-up hours are limited to between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM. The business will have a
total of 15-20 employees with 10 of those being full-time employees.
Conditional Use Grant (CUG)
A conditional use grant is required for any gasoline service station as per the requirements of the B-2
zoning district. Plan Commission will hold a public hearing on April 9, 2018 at to allow residents and/or
business owners to voice any thoughts they may have about this project.
In late 2017 there were some state law changes relating to how cities can regulate CUG’s. As such, the
citites need to base their decision on these new law requirements. The City Attorney will be providing
details on the new law requirements and what that means for CUG approvals going forward before the
meeting.
Certified Survey Map (CSM)
As part of the development, a three-lot CSM is being requested in order to separate the stormwater pond
(Outlot 1), the existing business site (Lot 1) and the newly proposed Casey’s site (Lot 2). A preliminary
review of the CSM appears to meet the bulk requirements of the code. Formal technical review is
pending and the resolution is drafted to state that signing the CSM is contingent on all technical
corrections being addressed.
Building Site and Operation Plan (BSO)
Architecture
The proposed building is clad with an antique red brick on all four elevations and there are two solider
courses of brick to help enhance the facade design, along with rustic b rown cultured stone columns. The
front of the building includes some windows in the central part of the facade but the remainder of the
elevation and the side and rear elevations do not include any other windows or architectural features.
The building contains a sandstone shingled hip roof, with a section removed in the rear to house the roof
top mechanical units. Said rooftop units are proposed to be screened with an aluminum screening
wall/feature.
The proposed architecture has some good design elements, but there are changes that staff is
suggesting that are identified in the resolution that would further enhance the design and to bring it into
compliance with the design guides:
1. All Elevations – Add additional window elements to help further the four-sided architecture goal
and to help add some design features to the flat wall space on the facades.
2. Rear Roof – Alter the design of the rear rooftop mechanical area so that either the units are
completely screened by the hip roof itself or possibly consider relocating the rooftop units to
grade and screen them with some fencing and landscaping.
No exact details on the gas canopy design have been provided at this point. There are some basic
details included in the sign info packet but further details are needed. The resolutio n states that details
on the canopy design must be provided and based on the basic info provided; staff is recommending in
the resolution that the following features be added to the canopy design:
1. Add a hip or gable roof feature to complement the main building in style/design and
materials/colors. This would help tie the building and canopy designs together and help enhance
the overall site architecture.
2. Add brick or stone to the support columns with a possible cap on top with exposed post above, as
this can enhance the design of the canopy.
Site, Parking, and Access
The site plan currently shows 17 parking stalls by the building. This total does not include 12 additional
parking spaces associated with the gas pumps. Per the zoning code, one (1) space is needed for every
150 SF of customer floor area, which in this building is about 2,484 SF. That would suggest that at least
17 stalls are needed.
All parking stalls are shown at 10’ x 20’ in size, as is required by code. The only stall shown less than this
size is a single handicap stall. All driveways are shown with a width of at least 29 feet in width, which
meets the code minimum requirement of 24 feet. Access to the site is proposed via an existing shared
access driveway of Janesville Road and a new access along Mercury Drive that lines up with the adjacent
Inpro driveway. The existing shared access off of Janesville Road will need to be reviewed by the County
to ensure no additional roadway/entry concerns are present.
The site plans currently shows curb and gutter on the site, with the exception of along the front of the
building.
The existing parking lot for the existing building to the west of the proposed convenience store must be
altered so that it is located at least 3 feet from the ne wly proposed lot line that separates to the two
properties.
Since there is the We-Energies trail bordering this property to the south, a path connection should be
provided to allow connectivity between the new development and the trail.
Fire Department Approval
The site plan is subject to Fire Department approvals at the time of building permits. Possible changes to
the site plan may be required based upon the final Fire Department review.
Dumpsters/Outdoor Storage
A 20’ x 28’ brick dumpster enclosure is noted in the narrative and shown on the site plan but no design
details have been provided at the time. Details of the enclosure will need to be provided before building
permits can be issued.
The resolution states that no outdoor storage or display of products (including but not limited to ice, salt,
firewood, propane, etc.) is allowed at any time on site.
Landscaping
A landscape plan has been provided that shows various landscaping throughout the site. Landscaping is
provided along the front of the site to help screen headlights from leaving the site. The final landscape
plan must be submitted for formal review before building permits can be issued. The final landscape plan
must include additional foundation plantings along more of the building and around the trash enclosure,
along with 6’ evergreen type screening around any transformers and/or wall mounted mechanical
equipment. All landscaping must be located completely on private property and not within the right-of-
way. The current plan shows some landscaping in the right-of-way. The City Forester will conduct a
formal plan review before building permits can be issued.
Signage
Some signage details have been provided at this time. Formal signage review will occur via a separate
sign permit once the Building Permit has been approved. In general a Casey’s wall sign is proposed on
the front of the building, three Casey’s signs on the canopy, and a freestanding monument sign. The total
signage allowance is based on the typical code requirements. A separate sign permit will be required
before any signage (temporary or permanent) can be installed and this includes any signage on the
building or freestanding. Relating to the monument sign, staff suggests that the currently proposed
location be reconsidered as to not block the Muskego Business Park sign that is adjacent to the newly
proposed sign.
Also, Casey’s is seeking approval of two changeable advertising signs on the front elevation, along with
four changeable advertising signs on the canopy supports. The changeable advertising signs are
allowable, as long as they area within the allowed 5% for wall signage.
Lighting
A photometric plan has been included along with specs of proposed lighting fixtures. The photometric
plan indicates that the lighting will all be building mounted, soffit mounted, and pole mounted . The
photometric plan shows that some lighting levels exceed 0.5 foot-candles at the lot lines, which is not
typically allowable, especially when uses are adjacent to residential areas . All lighting must be zero
degree tilt and full cut-off and the concrete bases for any pole lights cannot exceed 6 inches in height
above grade. Also, the height of any light poles cannot exceed the greater of either 15 feet or the
average eve height of the building.
Sewer, Water and Stormwater
The development will be served by municipal sanitary sewer and municipal water. A stormwater pond
exists on the western portion of the site and stormwater needs are being examined and if additional
stormwater management is needed, it will need to be contained on-site.
Other
The resolution requires that an annual review be placed on this property for the first year the business is
in operation to ensure there are no issues. If no problems are found, the annual review could be
reconsidered by the Plan Commission.
The following are also part of the Plan Commission resolution:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That any bollards, railings, ladders, etc. must be painted to match the
colors of the principal structure.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That any new handicap signs be permanently mounted in the ground or
mounted to the building so they are not moveable.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all roof top and ground mechanicals (including HVAC devices,
electrical transformers, etc.) must be screened from view and/or incorporated into the design of the
site/structure (screening, etc.) and should be approved by the Planning Division before the issuance of
building permits.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 023-2018
Deferral of Resolution PC 023-2016. Staff feels that based on the suggested alterations noted
above and given the significance of some of these items noted, this item should be deferred until
the items can be adjusted.

Design Guide The General Design Guide and the Historic Crossroads Design Guide
govern this area. See comments below about building design.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 024-2018
The applicant is proposing to build a new 4,686 SF convenience store/gas station that will include a
separate canopy area to cover 5 multi-product fuel dispensers (10 total fueling stations). The proposed
use is allowed with Plan Commission approval of a Building, Site and Operation (BSO) Plan and a
Conditional Use Grant (CUG). The proposed hours of the business are 5:00 AM to 12:00 AM. Since
noise concerns/issues stem largely from deliveries, the resolution is drafted to state that all deliveries
(products, fuel, etc.) and trash pick-up hours are limited to between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM. The business
will have a total of 15-20 employees with 10 of those being full-time employees.
Conditional Use Grant (CUG)
A conditional use grant is required for any gasoline service station as per the requirements of the B-2
zoning district. Plan Commission will hold a public hearing on April 9, 2018 as to allow residents and/or
business owners to voice any thoughts they may have about this project.
In late 2017 there were some state law changes relating to how cities can regulate CUG’s. As such, the
cities need to base their decision on these new law requirements. The City Attorney will be providing
details on the new law requirements and what that means for CUG approvals going forward before the
meeting.
Building Site and Operation Plan (BSO)
Architecture
The proposed building is clad with a lower 1 ½ foot band of rustic brown cultured stone with the upper
portion of the walls being painted lap siding on all four elevations, along with rustic brown cultured stone
column features at the corners. The front of the building includes some windows in the central part of the
facade but the remainder of the elevation and the side and rear elevations do not include any other
windows or architectural features. The building contains a weathered wood shingled hip roof, with a
section removed in the rear to house the roof top mechanical units . Said rooftop units are proposed to be
screened with an aluminum screening wall/feature.
The proposed architecture has some good design elements but, there are changes that staff is
suggesting that are identified in the resolution that would further enhance the design and to bring it into
compliance with the design guides:
1. Overall Building – Since this property is at one of the main gateway entries into the City, some
building enhancements should be added to show the character that the Historic Crossroads
Design Guide is looking for.
2. All Elevations – Add additional window elements to help further the four-sided architecture goal
and to help add some design features to the flat wall space on the facades.
3. All Elevations – There is currently too much area of lap siding and not enough other material
usage, especially not enough masonry/stone usage or other upgrades mater ials. The design
guides usually aim to see at closer to 50% masonry/stone.
4. Front Elevation – The gable roof end feature above the main entry to the building shows different
materials on the drawings versus the renderings. This gable wall feature should u tilize the shake
material, rather than the siding to help further the desired design aesthetic for this property.
5. Rear Roof – Alter the design of the rear rooftop mechanical area so that either the units are
completely screened by the hip roof itself or possibly consider relating the rooftop units to grade
and screen them with some fencing and landscaping. The Historic Crossroads Design Guide
specifically states that the mechanical screening should match or compliment the overall theme of
the building.
No exact details on the gas canopy design have been provided at this point. There are some basic
details included in the sign info packet but further details are needed. The resolution states that details
on the canopy design must be provided and based on the basic info provided; staff is recommending in
the resolution that the following features be added to the canopy design:
1. Add a hip or gable roof feature to complement the main building in style/design and
materials/colors.
2. Add brick or stone to the support columns with a possible cap on top with exposed post above, as
this can enhance the design of the canopy.
3. The canopy should not contain as much red. Red can be an allowable color if it is used in a more
subtle fashion.
All final color selections must be provided before Building Permits can be issued.
Site, Parking, and Access
The site plan currently shows 20 parking stalls. This total does not include 10 additional parking spaces
associated with the gas pumps. Per the zoning code, one (1) space is needed for every 150 SF of
customer floor area, which in this building is about 2,484 SF. That would suggest that 17 stalls are
needed.
All parking stalls are shown to be 9’ x 20’ in size, with the exception of one handicap stall. The stalls
need to be altered to 10’ x 20’ in size per the code requirement. All driveways appear to be at least 24
feet wide, which is required by code. Per the code/design guide recommendation, there should be a 10’ x
20’ landscape island installed within the front parking area since there are 20 stalls provided. Access to
the site is proposed via two existing driveway, each one off a separate roadway and via an existing cross
access with the site to the west. The existing access points off of Janesville Road and College Avenue
will need to be reviewed by the County to ensure no additional roadway/entry concerns are present.
The site plans currently shows curb and gutter on the site, with the exception of along the front of the
building.
Since there is a sidewalk provided in front of this business along Janesville Road, a pedestrian
connection to this sidewalk should be provided.
Fire Department Approval
The site plan is subject to Fire Department approvals at the time of building permits. Possible changes to
the site plan may be required based upon the final Fire Department review.
Dumpsters/Outdoor Storage
A 20’ x 28’ dumpster enclosure is noted in the narrative and shown on the site plan but no design details
have been provided at the time. Details of the enclosure will need to be provided before building permits
can be issued and said design should be similar to the building design.
The resolution states that no outdoor storage or display of products (including but not limited to ice, salt,
firewood, propane, etc.) is allowed at any time on site.
Landscaping
A landscape plan has been provided that shows various landscaping throughout the site. The final
landscape plan must be submitted for formal review before building permits can be issued. Per the
Historic Crossroads Design Guide there needs to be a 15 foot landscape buffer abutting Janesville Road
with additional landscaping in this area. The final landscape plan must include additional plantings along
the back of the loading area, around the parking/driveway areas, and around the trash enclosure, along
with 6’ evergreen type screening around any transformers and/or wall mounted mechanical equipment.
All landscaping must be located completely on private property and not within the right-of-way. The City
Forester will conduct a formal plan review before building permits can be issued.
Signage
Some signage details have been provided at this time. Formal signage review will occur via a separate
sign permit once the Building Permit has been approved. In general a Casey’s wall sign is proposed on
the front of the building, three Casey’s signs on the canopy, and a freestanding monument sign. The total
signage allowance is based on the typical code requirements. A separate sign permit will be required
before any signage (temporary or permanent) can be installed and this includes any signage on the
building or freestanding.
Also, Casey’s is seeking approval of two changeable advertising signs on the front elevation, along with
four changeable advertising signs on the canopy supports. The changeable advertising signs are
allowable, as long as they area within the allowed 5% for wall signage.
Lighting
A photometric plan has been included along with specs of proposed lighting fixtures. The photometric
plan indicates that the lighting will all be building mounted, soffit mounted, and pole mounted. The
photometric plan shows that the lighting levels do not exceed 0.5 foot-candles at the lot lines. All lighting
must be zero degree tilt and full cut-off and the concrete bases for any pole lights cannot exceed 6 inches
in height above grade. Also, the height of any light poles cannot exceed the greater of either 15 feet or
the average eve height of the building.
Sewer, Water and Stormwater
The development will be served by municipal sanitary sewer. The development is not currently served by
municipal water, but since water is located less than 700 feet away, preliminary discussions have
indicated that the municipal water main may need to be extended to this site as par t of its redevelopment.
The applicant will need to request that the Public Works Committee make a determination as to if the
water main will need to be extended to this property as part this redevelopment. The cost of any water
main extensions are the responsibility of the developer/applicant.
Currently, no stormwater management facilities exist on this site. As part of the re-development of this
site, stormwater management will need to be accommodated for.
Other
The resolution requires that an annual review be placed on this property for the first year the business is
in operation to ensure there are no issues. If no problems are found, the annual review could be
reconsidered by the Plan Commission.
The following are also part of the Plan Commission resolution:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Formal approvals from the Engineering Division will be required before the
issuance of any permits as it relates to overall site design.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That any bollards, railings, ladders, etc. must be painted to match the
colors of the principal structure.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That any new handicap signs be permanently mounted in the ground or
mounted to the building so they are not moveable.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all roof top and ground mechanic als (including HVAC devices,
electrical transformers, etc.) must be screened from view and/or incorporated into the design of the
site/structure (screening, etc.) and should be approved by the Planning Division before the issuance of
building permits.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The proposal has some good design elements but, there are
changes that should occur to further enhance the design and to bring it into compliance with the
design guides:
1. Overall Building – Since this property is at one of the main gateway entries into the City,
some building enhancements should be added to show the character that the Historic
Crossroads Design Guide is looking for.
2. All Elevations – Add additional window elements to help further the four-sided
architecture goal and to help add some design features to the flat wall space on the
facades.
3. All Elevations – There is currently too much area of lap siding and not enough other
material usage, especially not enough masonry/stone usage or other upgrades materials.
The design guides usually aim to see at closer to 50% masonry/stone.
4. Front Elevation – The gable roof end feature above the main entry to the building shows
different materials on the drawings versus the renderings. This gable wall feature should
utilize the shake material, rather than the siding to help further the desired design
aesthetic for this property.
5. Rear Roof – Alter the design of the rear rooftop mechanical area so that either the units
are completely screened by the hip roof itself or possibly consider relocating the rooftop
units to grade and screen them with some fencing and landscaping. The Historic
Crossroads Design Guide specifically states that the mechanical screening should match
or compliment the overall theme of the building.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Details of the overall gas canopy design must be submitted and
should include the following design features:
1. Add a hip or gable roof feature to complement the main building in style/design and
materials/colors.
2. Add brick or stone to the support columns with a possible cap on top with exposed post
above, as this can enhance the desig n of the canopy.
3. The canopy should not contain as much red. Red can be an allowable color if it is used
in a more subtle fashion.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, All deliveries (products, fuel, etc.) and trash pick-up hours are
limited to between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Final color selections must be provided before Building Permits
can be issued.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, All parking stalls must be at 10’ x 20’ in size.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Per the code/design guide recommendation, there should be a 10’
x 20’ landscape island installed within the front parking area since there are 20 stalls provided.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The access points off of Janesville Road and College Avenue will
need to be reviewed by the County to ensure no additional roadway/entry concerns are present.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Since there is a sidewalk provided in front of this business along
Janesville Road, a pedestrian connection to this sidewalk should be provided.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The applicant will need to request that the Public Works
Committee make a determination as to if the water main will need to be extended to this property
as part this redevelopment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The cost of any water main extensions are the responsibly of the
developer/applicant.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Details of the dumpster enclosure design will need to be provided
before building permits can be issued and said design should be similar to the building design.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The final landscape plan must be submitted for formal review
before building permits can be issued.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Per the Historic Crossroads Design Guide there needs to be a 15
foot landscape buffer abutting Janesville Road with additional landscaping in this area.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The final landscape plan must include additional plantings along
the back of the loading area, around the parking/driveway areas, and around the trash enclosure,
along with 6’ evergreen type screening around any transformers and/or wall mounted mechanical
equipment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, All landscaping must be located com pleted on private property

Plan Commission Supplement PC 025-2018
For the meeting of: April 9, 2018
REQUEST: Building, Site and Operation Plan for Will Rose Apartments
Janesville Road / Tax Key Nos. 2198.160 and 2198.161
NE ¼ of Section 10
PETITIONER: AG Architecture
INTRODUCED: April 9, 2018
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 025-2018
AG Architecture has submitted a Building, Site and Operation Plan to begin fulfilling the development
approvals for the Will Rose Apartments. The Planned Development zoning district for this development
was approved by the Council Ordinance #1412 on December 12, 2017.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 025-2018
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the area for high density residential uses (>3
units/acre). The proposal consists of 90 total units with an overall
density of 6.23 units per acre. The proposed densities are within the
guidelines of the 2020 Plan and the past zoning approval.
Zoning: A rezoning to a Planned Development was approved by the Plan
Commission and Common Council in December 2017. The proposal
herein substantially matches the rezoning proposal.
Parks and Conservation Plan The Parks and Conservation Plan does not show any park land on this
site. The plan does show medium conservation priorities on some of
the wetlands on this lot. The proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Adopted 208 Sanitary Sewer
Service Area:
The property will be serviced with municipal sewer. The proposal is
consistent with the Plan.
Water Capacity Assessment
District:
The property will be serviced with municipal water. The proposal is
consistent with the Plan.
Stormwater Management
Plan:
There currently is stormwater management facilities on the lot and
further review will be needed to ensure the facilities a re sized properly.
The proposal is consistent with the Plan.
DISCUSSION PC 025-2018
As stated above, the proposal is to begin fulfilling the development approvals for Will Rose Development,
on the Basse property.
The site is located along Janesville Road between Martin Drive and Glen Cove Court. The development
consists of a 50-unit apartment building (known as Phase 1), a 40-unit apartment building (known as
Phase 2) and clubhouse (known as Phase 3). The BSO is covering all details relating to the overall site
and both apartment buildings, but does not include details on the clubhouse at this time.
Within the apartment buildings there are a variety of unit types such as one -bedroom (28), one-bedroom
plus den (17), and two-bedroom units (45). The total project build out expects an approximate total
resident count of 159 residents. The total floor area of both buildings is 162,620 SF.
Site Plan/Access:
The site plan layout locates the two apartment buildings along Janesville Road. The future clubhouse will
eventually be located between the two buildings. Access to the site is currently proposed with a single
access point off of Janesville Road. Since the access point is located along Janesville Road, Waukesha
County will need to review this proposal to see if any access point improvements are required.
Upon engineering review of the site layout, it was determined that more than one access point is required.
For safe and effective egress, engineering staff is requiring that the western driveway stu b be extended to
Glen Cove Court. This section of the driveway does not need to be curbed since it may need to be
altered in the future when the commercial site fully develops. The installation of this driveway will allow
more than one way in or out of the site. Also, engineering staff is requiring that an emergency only
access connection be provided at the end of the eastern portion of the driveway connecting to the existing
adjacent condo development (Lindale Villas). This connection may be gated if needed.
All driveways will be private within the development.
Relating to the location of the buildings, the 50-unit building has a 30 foot setback and the 40-unit building
has a 40’ setback. This matches what was approved as part of the PD zoning.
The first floor units will have direct access to sidewalks that will connect directly to the public sidewalks.
Also, there is a proposed trail that with traverse a portion of the open space on this property.
Parking:
Parking on the site is handled with underground parking and outdoor surface parking. Parking on site
includes128 enclosed underground stalls within the two buildings and 71 surface stalls. That equates to
2.21 stalls per unit. The Zoning Code typically requires 2 enclosed stalls per unit plus additional visitor
parking. This proposal does not meet the typical requirement, but the applicant has provided real
examples from other multi-family developments they have developed as it relates to the parking counts.
The narrative includes a table that lists these other semi-urban and suburban projects parking counts.
Based on the type and number of units proposed, having 2.21 stalls per units is the largest ratio based on
other similar projects. The applicant feels the proposed parking will meet the needs of this type of
development. Considering half of the units are one-bedroom or one-bedroom plus den units, the parking
does appear to be adequate. If you allocate one stall per one-bedroom/one-bedroom plus den unit and
two stalls for each two-bedroom unit, that would require 135 stalls. That would then leave 64 stalls for
guest parking or other residents.
Based on the information in the narrative and listed above, staff agrees with the applicant’s analyzation of
the proposed parking.
Relating to the exterior parking stall sizes, the stalls vary in size from 9’ x 18’ and 9’ x 20’. Typical parking
stall sizes are supposed to be 10’ x 20’ per the current code requirements , but the City has recently been
allowing parking stalls to be 9’ x 18’ in size. In an effort to maximize parking on this site, with the least
impact to the open space, staff recommends approval of the smaller stalls.
Architecture:
The design of the apartment buildings are intended to have a modern appearance that downtown
Muskego has adopted. Both buildings will be three-stories tall along Janesville Road. The proposed
buildings are proposed with flat roofs. The 50-unit building will have its underground parking level
exposed on the rear elevation and the 40-unit building will have its parking completely contained
underground. These variations are due to the grade changes on site. Each building has an average
height of 36’, with some higher decorative elements that are at 38’. These heights are measured on the
front elevations that face Janesville Road. These heights are allowed as part of the PD zoning.
The applicant has stated that the materials to be used have a long life span with limited maintenance and
will complement the existing buildings along Janesville Road. The proposed materials include masonry,
fiber cement cladding, and architectural metal accents. The submitted renderings show the colors that
are being proposed on the buildings. The proposed colors work well together and should fit well within
the neighborhood.
The total masonry calculation on all four elevations of the 50-unit building is 40%. The 40-unit building
totals 34% for average masonry. The City’s design guides typically look for about 50% masonry, but the
overall quality of the design and material usage is just as important. The applicant states that while they
acknowledge they are under the 50% mark, they have designed creative and attractive buildings that
express more depth and design than typical developments. There has been obvious effort placed in
making sure the buildings are not flat buildings without depth and limited windows. There are plenty of
windows proposed which help create corner like window conditions in many locations throughout the
buildings.
Overall, the proposed buildings will be unique within Muskego and will provide a modern feel along this
continuously developing corridor in Muskego.
Lighting:
No lighting details have been provided at this time. Before any building permit can be issued lighting
details will need to be submitted for City review. This includes the development of a photometric plan. All
lighting needs to meet the code requirements, including all fixtures being full cut -off and zero degree tilt.
The only exception to these requirements can be for certain types of architectural accent lighting. Any
freestanding lights cannot have a concrete base that exceeds 6 inches above grade. Also, pole height
will need to be reviewed by the City.
Signage:
No signage is proposed at this time. Any future signage (temporary or permanent) will require separate
sign permits.
Fire Department:
Preliminary review has taken place by the F ire Department and alterations have been made that meet the
Fire Departments requirements.
Refuse/Mechanicals:
Trash and recycling storage will occur within the underground garages of each apartment building. No
details have been provided relating to any mechanical units either on the ground or the roofs. Full details
will need to be provided relating to the location of all exte rior mechanical (HVAC units, transformers, etc.).
All such units will need to be fully screened. All screening will need to be approved by the City before any
building permits can be issued. The screening should be incorporated into the design of the buildings
and/or site where possible.
Landscaping:
Landscape plans are included as part of the submittal. There appears to be ample landscaping provided
throughout the site. The landscape plans are subject to formal review by the City Forester before building
permits can be issued.
Utilities:
The property will be serviced with municipal sewer and water. Full engineering review will need to occur
as this project proceeds further. If any public utility extensions are required, a developer’s agreement will
be required along with a Letter of Credit.
Stormwater management will need to be looked at as part of this development. All stormwater
regulations must be met.
Other:
There have been some past concerns brought up about the wetlands on this site possi bly holding more
water than they should. As such, the developer and the City have both looked into this and they believe
that they found a way to try to help this problem. As such, as part of this development there will be some
grading work done to hopefully help with so much water sitting in these areas at all times.
All BSO approvals are valid for two years. If building two is not started by that time, re -approvals will be
required. Also, since no design details have been provided for the clubhouse, once the developer is
ready to proceed with that, then a separate BSO amendment will be required.
The following are also part of the Plan Commission resolution:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all bollards must be colored to match the colors of the principal
structure.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That any new handicap signs be placed permanently in the ground or
mounted to the building.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all roof top and ground mechanicals (including HVAC devices,
electrical transformers, etc.) must be screened from view and/or incorporated into the design of the
site/structure (screening, etc.) and shall be approved by the Planning Division before the issuance of
building permits.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 025-2018
Approval of Resolution PC 025-2018. This proposal will bring a new, fresh and modern feel and
look the main Janesville Road corridor.

WHEREAS, There currently are stormwater management facilities on the lot and further review will be
needed to ensure the facilities are sized properly for this full new development.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves the Building, Site and Operation
Plan for the Will Rose Apartment development located in the NE ¼ of Section 10 (Janesville Road / Tax
Key Nos. 2198.160 & 2198.161)
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Since the access point on Janesville Road is located along a county
highway, Waukesha County will need to review this proposal to see if any access point improvements are
required.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Upon engineering review of the site layout, it was determined that more
than one access point is required for safe and effective egress and as such, eng ineering staff is requiring
that the western driveway stub be extended to Glen Cove Court.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, This section of the driveway extension does not need to be curbed since it
may need to be altered in the future when the commercial site ful ly develops.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Engineering staff is requiring that an emergency only access connection
(to be gated if need) be provided at the end of the eastern portion of the driveway connecting to the
existing adjacent condo development (Lindale Villas).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The exterior parking stalls are allowing to be 9’ x 18’ in size, as has been
approved on some other past developments.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The landscape plans are subject to formal review by the City Forester
before building permits can be issued.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Sign permits are required for any future signage (temporary or
permanent).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, A photometric plan and lighting details will be required before any building
permits can be issued.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, All lighting needs to meet the code requirements, including all fixtures
being full cut-off and zero degree tilt.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The only exception to the typical lighting requirements can be for certain
types of architectural accent lighting.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Any freestanding lights cannot have a concrete base that exceeds 6
inches above grade.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Full details will need to be provided relating to the location of all exterior
mechanical (HVAC units, transformers, etc.) and all such units will need to be fully screened.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, All screening will need to be approved by the City before any building
permits can be issued and the screening should be incorporated into the design building buildings and/or
site where possible.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That no outdoor storage is allowed on the apartment property (including
but not limited to dumpsters, recycle bins, boats, trailers, campers, etc.).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all bollards must be colored to match the colors of the principal
structure.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That any new handicap signs be placed permanently in the ground or
mounted to the building.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Since BSO approvals are valid for two years, if building two is not started
by that time, re-approvals will be required.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Since no design details have been provided for the clubhouse, once the
developer is ready to proceed with that, then a separate BSO amendment will be r equired.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Any new building on the commercial lot will require a separate BSO
approval.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a copy of said plans be kept on file in the City 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 shall
result in the imposition of fines of $100 per day, the initiation of legal action, or both.

Plan Commission Supplement PC 027-2018
For the meeting of: April 9, 2018
REQUEST: Four (4) Lot Land Division
W150 S8267 Harvest Ct. / Tax Key No. 2214.996.020
NW ¼ of Section 14
PETITIONER: Teresa Machi of Machi Properties LLC
INTRODUCED: April 9, 2018
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 027-2018
The petitioner is proposing to divide one lot to create four lots by Certified Survey Map. The proposed
lots range in size from 2.02 acres to 11.08 acres.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 027-2018
Comprehensive Plan:
The 2020 Plan depicts the area for low density residential uses. The
proposed land split is consistent with the Plan.
Zoning:
The properties are currently zoned RS-2 Suburban Residence District,
requiring minimum lots sizes of 20,000 SF with a minimum average
width of 110 feet per lot. The proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Parks and Conservation Plan: The 2017-2021 Plan does not depict any park areas on this property.
The Plan does show high conservation priority areas on the property.
All wetlands are going to be protected as part of this development. Due
to the high conservation priority areas being noted (mostly for the
quality woodlands on this site), this will need to go to the Parks &
Conservation Committee to determine if any conservation restrictions
and/or building pad restrictions will be required within the CSM
boundaries. Preliminary it appears that a defined building pad may
need to be identified on Lot 4 to ensure preservation of the quality
woodlands on that Lot. The proposal is consistent with the Plan, with
Parks & Conservation review.
Street System Plan: Right-of-way has been dedicated as required previously. As part of this
development, the remaining under improved roadway will be extended
at the developer’s expense. The proposal is consistent with the Plan.
Adopted 208 Sanitary Sewer
Service Area:
All lots will be served by private mound/septic systems. The proposal is
consistent with the Plan.
Water Capacity Assessment
District: The lots will be served by private water wells. The proposal is
consistent with the Plan.
Stormwater Management
Plan: The Engineering Department is reviewing the CSM to see if any grading
plans will be required. It will also need to be reviewed to see if any
stormwater management will be required.
DISCUSSION PC 027-2018
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.
As is noted above, as part of this development the portion of Harvest Court that was never improved to
City standards is going to have to be fully improved to the end of the dedicated right -of-way. The
developer will need to have the roadway extension designed and then submitted to the City for review.
Before any work will be able to start on the roadway extension, there will need to be a
developers/subdividers agreement and a letter of credit established.
As is noted above, the Parks & Conservation Plan does show high conservation priority areas on the
property. All wetlands are going to be protected as part of this development. Due to the high
conservation priority areas being noted (mostly for the quality woodlands on this site), this will need to go
to the Parks & Conservation Committee to determine if any conservation r estrictions and/or building pad
restrictions will be required within the CSM boundaries. Preliminary it appears that a defined buil ding pad
may need to be identified on lot 4 to ensure preservation of the quality woodlands on that lot. This could
then allow some controlled development on lot 4, while still saving these important environmental
features.
Staff recommends approval subject to meeting all technical corrections received from the Engineering
Division. The Resolution is drafted accordingly.

and outstanding assessments if applicable.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, All technical corrections from the City will need to be addressed before the

portions of this lot the Park & Conservation Committee will need to review the CSM to see is any
conservation restrictions and/or building pad restrictions will be required.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, A digital file of this CSM shall be submitted to the City in accordance with
Common Council Ordinance No. 1118 and Resolution 196-2002.
