Dear Dr. Hofineister:
The Board of Appeals wishes to advise you that your request
for a 23' setback variance to construct a tree standing sign has
been aoprcved. Please remember our conversation on Friday,
December 4, 1987 wherein it was determined that the signage would
be installed 37 feet from the center line of Janesville Road.
The cost of the sign permit is $1.00 per square foot.
Application may be made at the building department for the
permit.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF APPEALS

S. 76 WEST 17527 JANESVILLE ROAD
MUSKEGO, WISCONSIN 53150
Ttiovember 11, 1987
Dear Sirs:
I are requesting a waiver on the normal sixty -
foot from road center for the following reasons.
1. Ly neighbor to the east is a personal
residence. Because of this his land-
scape is different than it would be
for a commercial prcperty. The size
and number of trees and shrubs totally
obscures the sign for traffic from
the east.
2. Several automobile collisions, Five
to be exact, have occured in the past
seven years directly in front of our
building. I feel that a sign that does
not require a side -ways glance might be
safer for passengers on Janesville Road.
3. Dr. Riess and Robert Klenz Realty have
placed signs at approximately the same
distance from the road that I am pro-
posing.
4. The sign itself, done with a style and
color scheme which reflects that of the
building, will be an asset rather than
an eyesore for the I•.uskego Business District.
5. Three businesses that would not other-
wise be in 1•Iuskego are here because I
have provided space for them. Their
success depends on proper exposure in
the community.
oincerely,
D= : ik David ofineister, D.D.S.

BOARD OF APPEALS
MINUTES OF BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING HELD ON December 3, 1987.
Chairman Gerald Fohr called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M.
PRESENT: - Chairman Gerald Fohr, Vice Chairman Thomas Berken,
Carol Nievinski, Vincent Caporali, Lloyd Erno, Peter Passick and
Administrative Assistant Gene Kovacs
ABSENT: - Linda Koester
MINUTES: Mr. Berken moved to approve the minutes of October 22,
1987. Mr. Erno seconded and the motion carried.
APPEAL 16-87 - ALBERT 'MEINEN JR. Mr. Meinen appeared
before the--B—o-a—r-d to request a 738 square foot total size variance
and a 36 square foot variance over the regulation which requires
a detached garage to be no larger than 60% of the square footage
of the residential structure for the purpose of constructing a
detached storage building. Mr. Meinen would like to put up a 27'
X 54' Wick building for storage. The maximum building allowable
in this RS2 district (20,000 square feet) is 720 square feet.
Mr.Meinen would need 120,000 square feet in lot area to
accomplish this and is short approximately 1/4 of an acre to be
in compliance. Mr. Meinen's lot is 101,503.5 square feet. The
building Tneets the offset and setback variances. Mr. Paul
Peterson stated he had no problem with the size of the building
but indicated he would like the storage shed moved closer to the
house so as not to block the view. Mr. Meinen stated he could
probably move the building to within 75 feet of his home.
APPEAL 17-87 - DAVID HOFMEISTER Dr. Hofineister appeared
before the Board to request a 20 setback variance to construct a
free standing sign. He indicated there are now four businesses
located in the building who wish to advertise. His problem is
that he is located next to a residentially zoned home and trees
at this home obstruct the view of the sign. He is requesting
that the sign be placed closer to the road. Mr. Erno indicated
variances had been previously granted to other businesses along
Janesville Road and that this request if possible should also
comply to establish a uniform distance. Dr. Hofineister did not
see any problem with this.
The Board remained in open session.
APPEAL 16-87 Mr. Erno moved to approve the appeal as
submitted. Mr. Ber en seconded and the motion carried. The
hardship is that the lot is oversized for the RS2 zone district
standards but is only 18,496.5 square feet short of the area
required to allow the applicant to constrict the proposed storage
structure.
APPEAL 17-87 Mr. Fohr moved to amend the appeal from a
20' variance to a 23' variance to allow uninform conformance with
other signs along Janesville Road. Mr. Berken seconded and the
motion carried. Mrs. Nievinski moved to approve Appeal 17-87 (as
amended. Mr. Caporali seconded and the motion carried. The
hardship is the additional business advertising signage needed in
order to be visible from the road. In the event of future road
or sidewalk expansion the sign will be the responsibility of the
owner to remove or replace.
ADJOURNMENT: Mrs. Nievinski moved to adjourn at 8:30 P.M. Mr.
o r secon ed and the motion carried.
Respectfully Submitted
