down the existing garage and reuse the materials in
constructing a new garage. The garage will be used for
storage, cars, boats, tires, lawn mowers, tools. There is no
height variance. He was not the original owner when the first
variance was approved. James Sass, S70 W17764 Muskego Drive,
owner of Lot #13, appeared to express his concern that if the
variance is given, Mr. Krase's problem will become his
problem. He mentioned that Mr. Krase had a lot of junk in his
yard. He was against the variance being approved. Chuck
Dykstra clarified that the garage would not be any closer to
Lot #13, but it would be closer to Lot #9. Cynthia Waters,
W177 S6981 Wildwood Drive, complained about the junk and is
afraid more junk would be accumulated and affect the property
values. She presented a letter from the neighbors to the Board
members. The neighbors have no objection to the garage if the
yard is cleaned up.
APPEAL 24-92 - Laverne Brown, S70 W17536 Muskego Drive,
Muskego, Wisconsin. Vice Chairman O'Neil read the appeal for a
1016" variance from Muskego Drive to construct front porch with
roof that will include ramp for wheelchair access. Zoning:
RS3/OPD. Mr. Dykstra stated that the petitioner wants to
build a standard front porch on their house which will be
covered by a small roof. The required setback is 701; 30'
which is one-half of the 60' right-of-way and the 40' required
setback. It is possible to reduce that amount through
averaging adjacent properties and count the existing buildings
for the averaging purposes which will bring the required amount
to 67.5 from the center line. They are proposing to have this
set at 57 feet which leaves 1016" setback variance that they
are requesting from Muskego Drive. Mr. Brown said that in
addition to providing the porch itself, it would make it easier
for his wife who uses a wheelchair to gain access to the home.
By adding a porch and ramp, she'll be able to maneuver her
chair more independently.
APPEAL 25-92- Johnny's Petroleum Products, S76 W17871
Janesville Road, Muskego, Wisconsin. Vice Chairman O'Neil read
the appeal to relocate existing vehicle fueling island canopy
to east loading island and install new vehicle fueling island
canopy. Zoning: B-3. Chuck Dykstra explained that the B-3
zoning is a zoning intended primarily for business use. He
would like to amend the setback variance requested to a smaller
amount, from 29'6" to 1616" and a height variance may have to
be added. Anthony Kotkowski, the contractor, stated the
clearance for the facia would be 1416". There would be a 6"
drop for lights. Clearance to the bottom of the lights would
be 141; clearance to the bottom of the facia would be 1416".
It is a 3' facia. Chuck Dykstra said that a 15' height is
allowed so a variance of 2'6" is required; therefore amend the
variance to include. Mr. Kotkowski explained that Johnny's
wants to use the space to facilitate a greater flow of traffic
by adding the third island to the north. Existing islands
serve four cars, by adding an island, can increase service to
six cars without increasing hoses. He wants to give comfort to
