Jeff Davis, W219 57646 Crowbar Road, Muskego, WI 53150,
REQUESTING: Under the direction of Section 3.08 (1) Appeal
Provisions, Petitioner seeks two (2) variances: 1) Chapter
17--Zoning Ordinance: Sections 8.01 (7) B.2 Individual District
Regulations: .Permitted Accessory Uses. Said regulations limits
the size of all accessory buildings to 1% of the total lot area.
Petitioner seeks a 358 square foot variance to construct a 1,680
square foot accessory structure. 2) Chapter 30--Building Code:
W.U.B.C. Chapter XI, Section 30.43 (3): Garages: Area. Said
section sets the maximum size of wood or metal frame constructed
garages at 720 square feet. Petitioner seeks a 960 square foot
variance to permit construction of a 1,680 square foot detached
garage structure. Zoning is RCE, 120,000 square foot Single Family
Residential Country Estate.
Mr. Trejo described the zoning as RCE, 120,000 square foot Single
Family Country Estate and updated the Board on the approval of
Resolution #P.C. 29-96. Mr. Trejo also explained that the
ordinance takes into consideration the need for excess storage for
larger lots by permitting the use of the 1% of total lot size for
total outbuildings on lots equal to or larger than 120,000 square
feet rather than 60% of the first floor primary space of a
residence for lots smaller than 120,000 square feet.
Mr. Schneiker administered an oath to Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis
explained this structure would be 28' x 601, constructed behind
the residence. The siding and shingles would match the house.
The structure is proposed to be located 50 feet from the
residence, eliminating the need of the firewall serving any
purpose, only hindering the placement of equipment in the shed.
Mr. Davis also stated that the neighboring south property has a
similar accessory building, but in a larger size. Mr. Davis
stated the need for additional storage to enhance the character of
the area by enclosing all his vehicles and supplies.

Suburban Residence.
Mr. Trejo explained the RS-2 zoning and the offsets for this
property. Stating that the required minimum average width for
RS-2 is 110'; the current lot width is 100'. This will allow for
a 13.65' offset rather than the 15' requested, revising the appeal
to read as a 1.65 foot variance
Mr. Schepp administered an oath to Mr. Leighton. Mr. Leighton
stated the structure is an eyesore, the addition would add balance
to the building an aesthetically improve the property. The
hardship stated was the need for storage as a big concern and the
existing location and configuration of the home. The file has
received a letter from neighbor granting his approval.

DELIBERATION OF APPEALS
APPEAL #4-96
Mr. O'Neil made a motion to approve Appeal #4-96. He amended the
appeal to read .... 357 foot variance. This variance is not
contradicting to the character of the neighborhood. The lack of a
firewall would not adversely affect public safety or jeopardize

for the size of the accessory structure have been previously
approved in the area. Mr. Schneiker seconded. Upon roll call
vote, motion carried. 4-0
X . Schneiker made a motion to amend and approve Appeal #5-96 to
include an addition to a legal nonconforming structure caused by
the existing 38' setback of the current garage, and the offset
variance requested is 1.651. The hardship is the location of the
existing structure and the lack of storage. Mr. O'Neil seconded,
upon roll call vote, motion carried. 4-0
APPEAL #6--96
Mr. O'Neil made a motion to approve Appeal #6-96 as submitted.
This is a large lot, the neighbors nor neighborhood will be
