was also denied due to lack of hardship. Your garage is required to
be 20.7 feet from the Muskego Drive right -of way.
Please be advised building permits are required prior to commencing
with work on your property.
Should you have any further questions, please contact Carlos Trejo

BOARD OF APPEALS
MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 25, 1997
PRESENT: Vice Chairman Mike Brandt, Henry Schneiker, Dan
Schepp, James Ross and David Conley.
ABSENT: Chairman O'Neil, excused.
MINUTES: Mr. Schneiker made a motion to accept the
corrected August minutes as submitted. Mr. Ross
seconded. A voice vote was called and the motion carried
unanimously.
STATEMENT OF PUBLIC NOTICE: Secretary reported that the
meeting notice was given September 12, 1997, in accordance
with the State's Open Meeting Laws.
OLD BUSINESS: Appeal 23-97 (deferred from August meeting)
Vice Chairman Brandt administered an oath to Mr. and Mrs.
Webb. Mr. Webb stated he reconfigured the deck, breezeway
and garage on the lot. The deck and breezeway no longer
required a variance from Muskego Drive. Mr. Webb plans to
relocate the existing garage on a new slab attached to the
residence that would also accommodate a 10 foot storage
area at the rear of the garage.
Mr. Trejo explained the OED zoning allows for averaging
with the existing neighbors. Mr. Webb went out and
measured the neighboring properties and calculated that an
18 foot variance would be required and adjusted his plans
to meet code. After further review, it was determined
that a 20.7 setback would be necessary.
Mr. Webb stated that he was unaware of the change and
could accommodate the 20.7 foot setback if he needed too.
Further stated was that if the storage area could be
reduced in size, it would be looked at.

Appeal # 25-97, Kenneth J. Liebel, W179 S6948 Elm Drive,
Tax Key No. 2176.022 Under the direction of Section 3.08
(1) Appeal Provisions, petitioner seeks one (1) variance:
Chapter 17-Zonin Ordinance: Section 5.02 (3) A.1
Building Location, Offsets. No structure shall be
erected, structurally altered or relocated on a lot except
within conformity with the district it is located.
Petitioner seeks a 5.5 foot variance to place a detached
accessory building 3.5 feet from the southeast lot line.
(zoning requirement is 9 feet. The property is zoned
RS-3/OED, Suburban Residence District with an Existing
Development Overlay
be removed.
Mr. Trejo stated this is a legal nonconforming property.
He also stated there is an attached garage, which received
a variance in 1990, and a full basement on the property.
Mr. Trejo question where the hardship is in this request.
Point of order was called. The variance request did not
include the 10' x 12' shed. The appeal needs to be
recalculated, re -noticed and placed on the next agenda.
Mr. Schneiker made a motion to defer Appeal 27-97 to the
October meeting. Mr. Ross seconded. Upon voice vote,
motion was approved.
DELIBERATION:
Appeal #23-97 Mr. Schepp made a motion to approve as
submitted. Mr. Herda seconded. After discussion it was
determined there was a lack of an appropriate hardship to
BOA 09/25/97
Page 4
allow a 1.5 foot variance for the garage. The deck and
breezeway are within the conformance area, and it is the
size of the storage area attached to the garage that is
causing the need for a variance. That storage area,
proposed as 10 feet in width, could be easily reduced or
moved further north within the conformance area. Upon
roll call vote, motion failed 6-0, due to lack of hardship.
Appeal #25-97 Mr. Schneiker made a motion to approve the
variance as submitted. Mr. Herda seconded. Discussion
ensued regarding the narrow lot and pre-existing location
of garage on the property. The Board also discussed the
location of the garage as a public safety issue, since
this was the primary garage for the residence, requiring
the garage to be located to far from the residence would
not be conducive to harsh weather. Upon roll call vote,
motion carried 4-2. Mr. Conley and Mr. Ross voting nay.
Appeal #26-97 Mr. Schneiker made a motion to approve
variance as submitted. Mr. Ross seconded. A lengthy
discussion ensued regarding the lack of hardship.
Discussion included the pre-existing location of the
residence, and the unique shape of the lot. Upon roll
call vote, motion failed 3-3. Mr. Schneiker, Mr. Herda
and Mr. Conley voting nay.
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS December 11, 1997, was chosen for
the November/December meeting.
ADJOURN: Mr. Schepp made a motion to adjourn at 9:30
F.M. Mr. Ross seconded. With no further business to come
before the Board, the meeting adjourned.

Appfication For Variance
Gary and Joanne Webb
S70 W 17575 Muskego Drive
679-R 192
To Allow:
I . Add 90 sq. ft. dormer to 2nd floor of existing residence.
2. Move existing garage to new location and change access from
Muskego Drive to Lake Drive.
3. Build a 10 1%2ft x 12ft breezeway to attach relocated garage to
existing residence.
4. Add a 8ft x 20ft storage area to rear of garage.
5. Build a wood deck to replace both existing porches and steps, and cement patio.
A literal enforcement of the terms of the above -referenced sections would result in practical
difficulty and unnecessary hardship because:
We currently reside in a non -conforming lake lot, wedged between two streets, that was
developed in 1926 prior to current building codes This results in a lot design hardship
that does not allow us to make any improvements to our existing residence to accommodate
the needs of our growing family.
T74e variance, ifgranted, will not be contrary to the public interest and will be in accord with
the spirit of the code because:
Because the Muskego Shores area was first developed in the late 19219s, almost all of the
lots in this area are non -conforming according to current building codes. Our proposed plans
are consistent with the spirit of the code because we want to improve and expand our existing
residence without altering the beauty of the land. Additionally. our plans could be complimentary
to public interest by adding value to the tax base and the property values in the area.
The b'uriance, ifgranted; will not adversely qftct public safety or jeopardize public welfare because:
Our proposed improvements will actually improve public safety by eliminating one driveNiay.
and thus reducing the number of vehicles using Muskego Drive as a main thoroughfare It will
also enhance public welfare by continuing the trend of homeowners who are makin",
improvements to their residences in this area.

Mr. and Mrs. Gary Webb

EIS: Appeal #23-97
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Webb:
DEPARTMENT OF CITY PLANNING
Matthew G. Sadowski, AICP
Director of Planning
(414) 679-4136
The Board of Appeals wishes to advise that your appeal from Section
4.06 (2) A.1, Legal Nonconformity, expansion or enlargement was
approved to allow the addition of dormers on the second story of
the existing struture.
The other requests have been deferred for 60 days, to allow time to
submit new drawings.
Should you have any further questions, please contact Carlso Trejo
at 679-5674.
Sincerely,
Susan J. Sc roeder
W182 S8200 Racine Avenue • Box 903 a Muskego, Wisconsin 53150-0903 Fax (414) 679-5614
great, and Mr. Kogutiewicz has physical mobility problems to
work on the vehicles if they were stored in a tight area.
Mr. Trejo stated the property is actually 2.1 acres and is zone
R-1 Country Home. Because it is under 2.75 acres it falls under
the 60% rule for outbuildings. A 20' x 20' garage (499 s.f.) is
the maximum allowable. The Kogutiewicz have not exhausted all
their options for creating a larger open space to satisfy their
needs. They can still convert and remodel the existing barn,
they can expand the existing attached garage, or they can raze
the old barn and build a new one. It is Staff's opinion that a
hardship has not be shown.
Mike Brandt returned to the Board.
Appeal #22-97, David Conley, S70 W18899 Gold Drive, Tax Key No.
2180.943. Under the direction of Section 3.08 (1) Appeal
Provisions, the petitioner seeks one (1) variance, Chapter
17--Zoning Ordinance: Section 4.05 (2) C.4, Accessory Uses and
Structures, Permanent Structures. Said regulation states no
detached private garage shall have a floor area greater than 60%
of the floor area of the principal building on the lot.
Petitioner seeks a 80 square foot variance to total 560 square
feet. (only 480 s.f. permitted)
Chairman O'Neil administered an oath to David Conely. Mr.
Conely stated he currently has a 17' x 25' deep block garage
with a 7 foot overhead door. His vehicles do not fit side by
side inside because of the width. He owns three vehicles and a
boat. He is requesting a 20' wide x 28' deep new garage with in
the conformance area. The garage would be deep in space for
length wise due to the offset requirements and the additional
space would give him needed storage area. His home has no
basement or attic storage area.
Mr. Trejo stated under the 60% rule, a 480 sq. ft. garage would
be allowable, he is 80 feet short for his request. The proposed
garage would fit within the offset and setback. The existing
garage was built prior to the 1963 Ordinance and is to close to
the lot line. An alternative to the variance would be to attach
the garage to the home.
Mr. Conley stated his hardship is a lack of storage, his house
was originally a cottage, and the narrowness of the parcel
leaves him with no other alternative. He is willing to remove
the existing garage to allow for the larger one which would
enable him to park more than one vehicle inside.
Appeal #23-97, Gary and Joanne Webb, S70 W17575 Muskego Drive,
Tax Key No. 2176.169. Under the direction of Section 3.08 (1)
Appeal Provisions, the petitioner seeks (2) variances:
1. Chapter 17-Zoning Ordinance: Section 4.06 (2) A.1 Legal
Nonconformity: Classification and Regulation. No such
structure may be expanded or enlarged except in conformity with
the regulations of the district in which it is located.
Petitioner seeks:
a. to expand the second floor 151 square feet of a nonconforming
structure, to total 540 square feet. (currently second level
contains 479 square feet)
b. to expand and construct an attached 10.5' X 12' breezeway and
an attached 32' X 20' garage to the southeast corner of a
nonconforming structure.
c. to expand and construct an attached 720 square foot deck to
the northeast corner of a nonconforming structure.
2. Chapter 17-Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.02 (2) A Building
Location, Setback:. No structure shall be erected, structurally
altered or relocated on a lot except within conformity with the
district it is located: Petitioner seeks:
a. a 50 foot setback variance to add an attached breezeway and
garage 20 feet from the centerline of the Lake Drive
right-of-way. (zoning requirement is 70 feet)
b. a 15 foot setback variance to add an attached deck to the
primary structure 25 feet from the Muskego Drive right-of-way.
The property is zoned RS-3/OED, Suburban Residence District with
an Existing Development Overlay.
Chairman O'Neil administered an oath to Joanne and Gary Webb and
Jane Chrapla.
Gary Webb submitted a revised survey denoting where they are
proposing the garage to be located. Currently they access
Muskego Drive, which is a very busy road, and are proposing to
access on to Lake Drive. Mr. Webb stated 1/2 of basement is
very wet, the stoop needs to be replaced and the ground filled
in to eliminate water; thus, it not a great area for storage.
There is an existing dormer on the west end of the home that
allows for increased livable area of the attic space. Mr. Webb
proposes to add and additional dormer on the east end of the
home and make the entire attic space usable. The new dormer
area would allow for an office upstairs, thus allowing them to
be able to utilize the first floor den for a bedroom. Joanne
Webb stated that the changed location for the garage would give
her children a play area that would be visible from the home.
This area would also be further from the road way. The Webb's
would also like to replace the existing concrete patio with a
deck.
Mr. Trejo discussed the allowable building space on this
property. It is a legal nonconforming structure. They wish to
expand 161 square feet for the second story. A patio is
allowable in the existing location because it does not require a
permit. But a deck would, an would not be issued a permit
because it is within the setback and offset areas. The breeze
way and garage are inside the setback area, requiring a 37'
variance. Mr. Trejo explained the 50% rule to the Board and
stated that the Webbs have bought what they got, a legal
nonconforming lot and buildings. They structures may be tended
to, within 50% of the assessed value, but may not be increased
or further create a nonconforming situation.
Mrs. Jane Chrapla is the immediate neighbor on Lake Drive. Mrs.
Chrapla stated she paid a premium for her property on Lake Drive
and does not wish to have additional driveways on her street.
She wants her• privacy intact.
Mr. Gary Webb stated the hardship is having his home abutting
two streets and a majority of his property nonbuildable.
Appeal #24-97 Howard Schneider, W187 W6880 Jewel Crest Drive,
Tax Key No. 2175.989 and 2175.989.001. Under the direction of
Section 3.08 (1) Appeal Provisions, Petitioner seeks two (2)
variances:
1. Chapter 17--Zoning Ordinance: Section 4.05 (2) C.4,
Accessory Uses and Structures, Permanent Structures. Said
regulation states no detached private garage shall have a floor
area greater than 60% of the floor area of the principal
building on the lot. Petitioner seeks an 813 square foot
variance to total 1,280 square feet. (only 467 s.f. permitted)
2. Chapter 17-Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.03 Height. Said
regulation limits the height of an accessory structure to
fifteen (15) feet. Petitioner seeks a nine (9) foot variance to
build a detached garage 24 feet height. The property is zoned
RS-3/OED and RS-3/OLS, Suburban Residence District with an
Existing Development Overlay and Lake Shore Overlay
Chairman O'Neil administered an oath to Howard Schneider. Mr.
Schneider stated he wishes to combine the two lots, tear down
the existing garage and build a new 32' x 40' x 24' high garage
on what is currently known as Parcel 1. He also intends to use
the loft area for storage. Mr. Schneider stressed the need for
excess storage area in order to maintain the appearance of the
lot.
Mr. Trejo stated that even with the lots combined, Mr. Schneider
is only allowed 457 square feet of garage space. Also, an
additional driveway onto Jewel Crest would not be allowed since
a share driveway easement exist on the Certified Survey Map.
Staff does not recognized a hardship for the excess size and
height in this case. A letter is on file requesting this
structure not be built, stressing it is too large in comparison
to those in the surrounding properties.
Mr. Schneider stated he would be removing an old structure and
replacing it with a new one, increasing the value of the
surrounding properties and making the area more attractive.
DELIBERATIONS:
Appeal # 21-97 Mr. Brandt stepped down during the deliberations.
Mr. Schepp made a motion to approve the appeal as submitted.
Mr. Ross seconded. It was determined that no hardship existed,
the appellant still had the options of removing the existing
barn, modify it, expanding it, or expanding the existing
attached garage. Upon roll call vote, motion failed. 3-1 (Mr.
Schepp voting yes).
Mr. Brandt returned to his chair.
Appeal #22-97 Mr. Schepp made a motion to approve the appeal as
submitted. Mr. Brandt seconded. It was discussed that the lot
is uniquely shaped and the dwelling unit small in comparison to
the required zoning minimum square footage. The petitioner can
not attach the garage, since the home is nonconforming. And the
lack of a basement makes a good argument for the need for
increased storage. Mr. Schepp made a motion to amend the
approval to include that the existing garage and slab must come
down within 30 days after final inspection. Mr. Brandt
seconded. The dead end street was also taken into consideration
for allowing the appeal. Upon roll call vote, the motion
carried 4-1 (Mr. Schneiker voted
no).
Appeal #23-97 Mr. Brandt made a motion to approve the appeal as
submitted. Mr. Ross seconded. It was determined there is a
hardship for the dormers (lack of storage because of a partial
basement). The members discussed reorientation of the garage to
be within the setback and offset. It was agreed upon to defer
the garage and driveway request for 60 days and for a new
drawing be submitted. Mr. Brandt made a motion to amend the
variance request and approve only the addition of the dormers
and defer the remaining appeal until revised drawings are
submitted within a 60 day period, Mr. Ross seconded. Upon roll
call vote, the amended appeal was approved unanimously.
APPEAL #24-97 Mr. Brandt made a motion to approve appeal as
submitted. Mr. Ross seconded. Discussion ensued regarding the
existing garage and the lack of a hardship for this request.
Upon roll call vote, the appeal was denied. (5-0).
OLD BUSINESS:
APPEAL #20-97 Mr. Schepp made a motion to approve a request to
reconsider Appeal #20-97. Mr. Schneiker seconded. The Board
agreed that no new evidence has been submitted to justify a
rehearing and that not being in attendance at the scheduled
meeting justified a need for rehearing. Upon a roll call vote,
the motion to approve the reconsideration was denied, 4-0. (Mike

Application For Variance
Gary and Joanne Webb
S70 W 17575 Muskego Drive
679-R 192
To Allow:
1. Add 90 sq.ft. dormer to 2nd floor of existing residence.
Move existing garage to new location and change access from
Muskego hive to Lake Drive.
3. Build a 10 112ft x 12ft breezeway to attach relocated garage to
existing residence.
4. Add a Sft x 20ft storage area to rear of garage.
5. Build a wood deck to replace both existing porches and steps, and cement patio.
A literal enforcement of the terns of the above -referenced sections would result in practical
difficulty and unnecessary hardship because:
We currently reside in a non -conforming lake lot. wedged between two streets, that was
developed in 1926 prior to current building codes. 11-iis results in a lot design hardship
that does not allow us to make any improvements to our existing residence to accommodate
the needs of our growing family.
The variance, ifgrantee4 will not be contrary to the public interest and will be in accord with
the spirit of the code because:
Because the Muskego Shores area was first developed in the late 1420's, almost all of the
lots in this area are non -conforming according to current building codes. Our proposed plans
are consistent with the spirit of the code because we want to improve and expand our existing
residence without altering the beauty of the land. Additionally. our plans could he complimentary
to public interest by adding value to the tax base and the property values in the area.
The Variance, ifgranle44 will not adverseky gffecl public sgfe4, orjeopardize public welfare because:
Our proposed improvements will actually improve public safety by eliminating one driveway,
and thus reducing the number of vehicles using Muskego Drive as a main thoroughfare. It will
also enhance public welfare by continuing the trend of homeowners who are making
improvements to their residences in this area.

Re: Appeal #23-97
Gary & Joanne Webb
S.70 W.17575 Muskego Dr.
Dear Mr. Trejo:
At this time we would like to express our concerns regarding
the above appeal.
We feel the proposed Garage and Driveway to be located on Lake
Drive would be a distraction to the quietness of the street,
as it will enable more traffic and noise.
The proposed garage appears to be near our lot line and the variance
puts it near our front yard, something we don't want to view
when the leaves have fallen in weeks to come.
The reason the Webbs want to make these changes is because there
is to much traffic on Muskego Drive. We are sorry for their
inconvenience however we should not have to have additional traffic/noise
down our quiet (Dead End) street. The traffic on Muskego Drive
should have been evaluated prior to the Webbs purchasing their
home.
We bought our home four years ago because of three things: location,
location, location.
The Webbs are nice neighbors however we must be concerned about
future neighbors and the pride of ownership (or lack of it) they
will display, as this could jeopardize a future sale for us.
Please let us keep our street just the way it is. This is what
we paid for.
Sincerely,
Janice & Steve Chrapla
