Plan Commission Supplement PC 049-2020
For the meeting of: August 4, 2020
REQUEST: Second Accessory Structure
Tax Key No. 2187.996.006 / W219 S7562 Crowbar Drive
SW ¼ of Section 7
PETITIONER: Brian Koerner & Cori Kraatz
INTRODUCED: August 4, 2020
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 049-2020
The petitioner proposes to construct a 16’ x 32’, or 512 square foot accessory structure on site. This building will
be the second accessory structure on this lot including the detached garage. Plans are attached for your review.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 049-2020
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 RCE – Country Estate District. Accessory structures
totaling 2,631 square feet are permitted on the subject property based on the
size of the property. The current proposal measures 512 square feet in area.
There is one accessory structure (684 SF) that exists on the lot. The grand total
of all accessory structure square footage with the proposed accessory structure
equals 1,196 square feet. The proposal meets the bulk requirements of the
Zoning Code.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 049-2020
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 on this lot.
The architectural requirements state that the accessory structure should have similar materials and colors as the
principal residence. The building is proposed as an open-air covered structure built with cedar posts and an
asphalt shingled roof to match the house. The concrete pad below the structure will extend two feet past the posts.
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 outdoor gatherings
and entertaining. The accessory structure will be approximately 10 feet in height as measured per the Code.
The Resolution states the following items:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The colors of the proposed roof must be similar to the colors of the home.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the building cannot be used for the operations of any business activities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the building cannot be enclosed unless proper building codes are met.

REQUEST: Building, Site and Operation Plan Amendment
Tax Key No. 2223.996 / W182 S8470 Racine Avenue
SW ¼ of Section 16
PETITIONER: Calvary Evangelical Free Church
INTRODUCED: August 4, 2020
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 050-2020
The petitioner proposes a Building, Site and Operation Plan amendment to construct a 144 square foot accessory
structure on site. This building will be the second accessory structure on this lot including the parsonage. Plans
are attached for your review.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 050-2020
Comprehensive Plan:The 2020 Plan depicts the area for government and institutional land use. The
proposal for this outbuilding is consistent with the Plan.
Zoning:
The property is zoned I-1 – Government and Institutional District. Accessory
structures are permitted on the subject property with Plan Commission approval.
The current proposal measures 144 square feet in area. There is one accessory
structure (approximately 1,400 SF) that exists on the lot. The grand total of all
accessory structure square footage with the proposed accessory structure is
approximately 1,544 square feet.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 050-2020
The applicant is requesting approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan amendment to construct a 144 square
foot accessory structure. Plan Commission approvals are being sought since the property is zoned I-1 –
Government and Institutional, so the BSO amendment is necessary.
The Calvary Evangelical Free Church had a small shed that was used to house landscaping equipment to manage
the property and has been in disrepair. The church would like to add a storage shed to store the lawnmower and
their plan is to match the church as close as possible. The accessory structure is exactly what would be found on
residential properties with tan vinyl siding and amber-colored asphalt shingles. The map indicates the accessory
structure will be behind the church and 50 feet from the nearest side property line.
The Resolution states the following items:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the colors of the proposed building must be similar to the colors of the church.

Plan Commission Discussion PC 047-2020
For the meeting of: August 4, 2020
REQUEST: Conceptual Land Division
S110 W21050 South Denoon Road
SE ¼ of Section 31
PETITIONER: Mark & Lynda Troeger
INTRODUCED: August 4, 2020
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 047-2020
The petitioner has submitted a conceptual land division to split his property into two separate lots on the
land where he resides, for discussion with the Plan Commission. The reason for the conceptual review is
to solicit general comments, but to also solicit specific comments regarding the lack of frontage on a
public street/right-of way.
The petitioner is requesting conceptual discussion to get comments from the Plan Commission regarding
the proposal. The petitioner will be present at the meeting to further explain the conceptual master plan
and to answer any questions.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 047-2020
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the area for rural density residential uses (<0.49
units/acre). The proposed land division is slightly more dense, meaning
the minimum lot size would typically be 2.04 acres. Further review on
this will be needed and a Comp Plan amendment may be required.
Zoning: The property is zoned RS-2 Suburban Residence District. That district
requires lots to be at least 20,000 square feet in area with a minimum
average width of at least 110 feet. The proposed concept is consistent
with the Zoning Code.
Adopted 208 Sanitary Sewer
Service Area:
The current home is serviced via public sanitary sewer. The applicant
would need to contact the Utilities Department to further explore the
options for an additional sewer connection.
Water Capacity Assessment
District:
The existing home is serviced with a private well and the new home
would be also.
Page 1 of 5
PC 047-2020
Packet Page 16
DISCUSSION PC 047-2020
The applicant currently lives on approximately 2.8 acres of land and is partial owner of the adjacent 43.25
acres essentially surrounding their property located on the southwestern corner of Lake Denoon. The
applicants would like to adjust the property lines of both properties and create a new lot immediately east
of their current residence for their daughter.
Currently, all six lots in the vicinity utilize an access easement as there is no public right-of-way for
access. The proposed lot would create another residential lot along the easement. The Land Division
chapter of the Municipal Code requires every lot to abut a public street or right-of-way for 80 feet or 45
feet on a cul-de-sac. Additionally, the lot of the existing residence, would continue to utilize the existing
easement location across the proposed lot to gain access to their home property.
There is an option for both lots to gain access to South Denoon Road. The lot lines could be adjusted to
provide a ‘finger’ of land south of the existing home for both lots at the 80-foot required width. This option
would render 160 feet of the productive agricultural land useless to continue active farming on the
property.
Another issue that is present is that the land for the proposed lot and the current residential lot is they are
both categorized as rural density residential. The lot of the existing residence meets the density
requirement, but the proposed lot is smaller than planned for in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. As
mentioned above, rural density residential is defined as <0.49 units per acre, or 2.04 acres per lot. The
lot as shown is 1.4 acres in size. An amendment to the 2020 Comprehensive Plan may be required if the
land division moves forward. Adding the ‘finger’ of land to provide access to the public road would
inherently provide additional land that would allow the proposed lot to meet the 2020 Comprehensive
Plan.
DIRECTION PC 047-2020
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 meeting 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 a formal CSM, the comments received at this meeting must
be addressed as part of the formal submittal.

For the meeting of: August 4, 2020
REQUEST: Conceptual Land Division
S99 W20523 Parker Drive / Tax Key No. 2280.999.014
SE ¼ of Section 30
PETITIONER: Bryon Hrin
INTRODUCED: August 4, 2020
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 048-2020
The petitioner has submitted a conceptual land division master plan for seven (7) additional lots on the
land he owns and previously divided, for discussion with the Plan Commission. The reason for the
conceptual review is to solicit comments in the overall possible land division/master plan.
The applicant originally owned 38+ acres of land located on the south side of Parker Drive. Four lots and
an unimproved road right-of-way were divided off in 2006. All of those lots were 2.76 acres in size each.
In 2018, the applicant obtained Plan Commission and Common Council approval for another land division
for three additional lots to sell, with the farm remaining on the remnant acreage. While that division was
approved, it has not yet been recorded. Those three lots were rezoned to RCE, from A-1 with the farm lot
remaining A-1. As part of this division, the road is required to be fully improved to City standards. Also,
as part of that review process, the City suggested that the applicant develop a master plan so that all
aspects of the development can properly addressed. This includes the full road build-out, stormwater
management, and further lot division layout. This submittal contains conceptual options for the master
plan.
In 2019, the applicant presented two options as conceptual master layout plans to the Plan Commission
for seven lots utilizing a different layout. These layouts required waivers to the Land Division Code for
minimum lot width at the building setback line or a formal variance to the minimum average width based
on the Zoning Code.
The petitioner is requesting conceptual discussion to get comments from the Plan Commission regarding
the proposal. The petitioner will be present at the meeting to further explain the conceptual master plan
and to answer any questions.
Page 1 of 4
PC 048-2020
Packet Page 21
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 048-2020
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the area for rural density residential uses (<0.49
units/acre). The proposed concept is consistent with the Plan.
Zoning: Lots 1, 4 and 5 were previously rezoned to RCE along with the frontages
of Lots 2 and 3 based on a past master layout of the property. The
remaining land is currently zoned A-1, but the applicant has expressed
interest in rezoning everything to RCE. The concept is based on the
RCE district being present. RCE requires minimum lot sizes of 120,000
SF and an average lot width of 250’. All lots are also supposed to have
at least 80 feet of frontage/access land on a dedicated right-of-way. The
frontage requirement can be reduced to 45 feet on a cul-de-sac, but the
80 feet of access typically still applies.
DISCUSSION PC 048-2020
The new conceptual mater layout plan includes six new home sites with the remaining farm house and
outbuildings on the seventh lot and an outlot to accommodate stormwater management. The past
scenarios each had seven new residential lots with the existing home on the eighth lot. Staff
recommendation on the past submittals was to reduce the number of lots from eight to seven to
accommodate the lot widths and road frontages, which is what the current submittal shows.
The proposed master layout plan shows the smallest lot being 2.755 acres. Lots 1 through 4 would have
access from Madyson Court while lots 5 through 7 would have access to Parker Drive. The previously
approved cul-de-sac bulb would be adjusted slightly to provide for proper road frontage for lots 1, 2 and 3.
The code requires that at the base setback line (50 feet behind the right-of-way) the lot be at least 80 feet
in width, which was not met in the previous conceptual layouts, but appears to be met with the current
submittal.
Other Comments
On this master layout plan along with past options, the farm lot (Lot 6) shows the outbuildings remaining
on-site. The applicant has talked with the City about the possibility of requesting to have some or all of
these outbuildings considered rustic structures in order to keep them. The City’s Code allows owners to
request that an outbuilding(s) be considered as a rustic structure, via the issuance of a Conditional Use
Grant (CUG). This is something that the owner may want to consider down the road. The typical limit for
outbuildings is 2% of the lot size or 60% of the home size, whichever is greater.
One item that staff wants to mention is the outlot for stormwater management must be large enough to
accommodate all required stormwater facilities. Stormwater features are not typically allowed on private
lots. All future development will require engineering review to account for stormwater management.
DIRECTION PC 048-2020
The Plan Commission will need to review the conceptual master plans to see if there are any comments,
concerns, and/or thought on this possible future land division.
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 meeting 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 a formal CSM, the comments received at this meeting must
be addressed as part of the formal submittal.

For the meeting of: August 4, 2020
REQUEST: Building, Site, and Operation Plan Amendment for Muskego Lakes Middle School
Tax Key No. 2209.999 & 2209.987 / W124 S8009 North Cape Road & S81 W12904 Hi View Drive
NE ¼ of Section 13
PETITIONER: Muskego Norway School District
INTRODUCED: August 4, 2020
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 051-2020
A submittal was received from Muskego Norway School District for a Building, Site, and Operation Plan
Amendment for a temporary modification to the use of the emergency access driveway for Muskego
Lakes Middle School. In 2017 the Plan Commission approved an access from the middle school to Hi
View Drive for emergency personnel only, not for daily traffic. Muskego Lakes Middle School is now
seeking approval for the 2020-2021 school year to use the emergency access for daily use to
accommodate an anticipated increase in student drop-off/pick-up due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED PLANS 051-2020
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the school property for institutional uses. The petition
is consistent with the Plan.
Zoning: The school property is zoned I-1 Institutional District. The use is permitted
subject to BSO approval.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 051-2020
The emergency access driveway was proposed to be 12-feet wide with 4-foot grass shoulders on each
side of the driveway. The emergency access was approved ensuring that all efforts be taken to
minimalize impacts to existing trees and landscaping and with a gate so it would only be used for/in
emergency situations and not used for daily use.
Now, due to the pandemic the school district has recognized that many children will not be on buses and
rather be dropped off and picked up. All vehicles will be entering the school grounds from North Cape
Road and then split for 5th & 6th grade directed toward the southern front lot where these vehicles would
exit back to North Cape Road. Buses will be directed toward the northern front lot and will not use the
emergency access. It is the parents of the 7th and 8th graders that will be directed to a loop around the
school with drop off in the rear that would exit via the emergency access onto Hi View Drive. The plan
identifies that only traffic exiting the site will use the emergency access onto Hi View Drive.
Muskego Lakes Middle School perceives there to be three issues if the vehicles of the 7th and 8th grade
families were to merge back into traffic to exit onto North Cape Road. First, the anticipated traffic volume
cannot be accommodated utilizing the North Cape Road as the sole entrance/exit for all vehicles and
buses. Second, the additional traffic will likely cause back-ups both leaving the site and entering from
North Cape Road. Lastly, the merging point on the southeast side of the school is on an incline where
Page 1 of 9
RESOLUTION PC 051-2020
Packet Page 25
visibility is a concern if all traffic must use the North Cape Road exit.
The Muskego Norway School District has identified two separate 10-minute windows where the
anticipated traffic will be maximized on the emergency access, one for drop off (7:55 – 8:05) and one for
pick-up (3:05 – 3:15).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 051-2020
Approval of Resolution PC 051-2020, subject to the conditions noted in the resolution.

WHEREAS, A submittal was received from the Muskego Norway School District (MNSD) for a
Building, Site, and Operation Plan Amendment approval located at W124 S8009 North Cape
Road & S81 W12904 Hi View Drive (Tax Key Nos. 2209.999 & 2209.987), and
WHEREAS, In 2017 the Plan Commission approved an access from the middle school to Hi View
Drive for emergency personnel only, not for daily traffic, and
WHEREAS, A proposal has now been submitted for the 2020-2021 school year to use the
emergency access for daily use to accommodate an anticipated increase in student drop-off/pick-
up due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and
WHEREAS, The emergency access was approved ensuring that all efforts be taken to minimalize
impacts to existing trees and landscaping and with a gate so it would only be used for/in
emergency situations, and
WHEREAS, A 75-foot wide easement or access way as approved is 12-feet wide asphalt
driveway with 4-foot shoulders on each side of the driveway, and
WHEREAS, All vehicles will be entering the school grounds from North Cape Road and then split
for 5th & 6th grade directed toward the southern front lot where these vehicles would exit back to
North Cape Road, and
WHEREAS, Buses will be directed toward the northern front lot and will not use the emergency
access, and
WHEREAS, Parents of the 7th and 8th graders will be directed to a loop around the school with
drop off in the rear that would exit via the emergency access onto Hi View Drive, and
WHEREAS, The anticipated traffic volume cannot be accommodated utilizing the North Cape
Road as the sole entrance/exit for all vehicles and buses, and
WHEREAS, The additional traffic will likely cause back-ups both leaving the site and entering
from North Cape Road, and
WHEREAS, The merging point on the southeast side of the school is on an incline where visibility
is a concern if all traffic must use the North Cape Road exit, and
WHEREAS, The Muskego Norway School District has identified two separate 10-minute windows
where the anticipated traffic will be maximized on the emergency access, one for drop off (7:55 –
8:05) and one for pick-up (3:05 – 3:15).
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves of a Building, Site and
Operation Plan amendment located at W124 S8009 North Cape Road & S81 W12904 Hi View

Plan Commission Supplement PC 052-2020
For the meeting of: August 4, 2020
REQUEST: Building, Site and Operation Plan Amendment for Soiree / Serendipity
Tax Key No. 2198.993 / S73 W16582 Janesville Road
NW ¼ of Section 10
PETITIONER: Nicole and Rick Hahne
INTRODUCED: August 4, 2020
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 052-2020
Soiree / Serendipity ReDesign is seeking a Building, Site and Operation (BSO) Plan amendment to
extend the deadline for the required paved parking area and to add outdoor seating to their wine bar,
located along Janesville Road west of Glen Cove Court. Soiree is located in a separate building behind
the Serendipity ReDesign building, which is located closer to Janesville Road. As a condition of
Resolution PC 038-2019 a paved parking area was required to be installed by June 30, 2020. The
parking area has not been paved in asphalt or concrete at this time and is currently gravel.
CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED PLANS 052-2020
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the property as Commercial uses. This proposal is
consistent with the plan.
Zoning: The property is zoned B-4 – Highway Business District and the proposed
amendments are consistent with the code.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 052-2020
As is noted above, a hard-surfaced parking area for patrons and employees are required of all business
uses throughout the City. For Soiree, a condition of approval for the Business Registration and Liquor
License is to provide said parking areas. Resolution PC 038-2019 required a hard surface parking area
for patrons be installed by June 30, 2020. The applicant did obtain a Zoning Permit for the parking area
and installed a crushed gravel parking area by the June 30, 2020 deadline. The parking area was not
paved and the Common Council granted a liquor license for three months until September 30, 2020
pending the completion of the paved parking area. The applicant is seeking an extension to June 30,
2021 due to the uncertainty of future revenue based on the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, Soiree was
forced to close on March 25, 2020 and remained closed until May 28, 2020. During that time multiple
events were forced to be cancelled or postponed along with the daily foot-traffic and an unknown future
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is safe to say that with the COVID-19 pandemic we have been and are all living in uncertain times with
regards to businesses being open and closed via the governor’s orders, the applicant was aware of the
June 30, 2020 deadline for over 14 months. Without any communication from the applicant with City staff
up to June 30, 2020, the Common Council approved a three-month extension for paving the parking area.
The Plan Commission now needs to discuss this and determine if an extended deadline to June 30, 2021
Page 1 of 8
RESOLUTION PC 052-2020
Packet Page 34
is acceptable. The Resolution is currently drafted to extend the deadline for paving and finishing the
parking area by June 30, 2021.
The second request is to allow for outdoor seating immediately west of the building. The outdoor seating
area would be in the grassy area and include outdoor patio furniture with a fire pit and would not interfere
with any vehicle traffic or public access. This seating area would be used seasonally as weather permits.
There are no other exterior changes to the building or lighting proposed. Overall, staff feels this outdoor
seating area and elevation improvement should be a nice addition to this property and allow customers to
feel comfortable patronizing a local business.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 052-2020
Approval of Resolution PC 052-2020 – Subject to the recommendation listed in this document and
in the resolution.
