NEW BUSINESS:
Appeal # 32-97, Paul Schlottke, W219 S7290 Crowbar Drive,
Muskego, WI 53150. Tax Key No. 2186.992. Under the
direction of Section 3.08 (1) Appeal Provisions, petitioner
seeks one (1) variance: Chapter 17--Zoning Ordinance: Section
5.02 (2) B. Building Location, Setbacks. No structure shall be
erected, structurally altered or relocated on a lot except
within conformity with the district it is located. Petitioner
seeks a 20.3 foot variance to place an addition to an existing
residence 26.7 feet from Crowbar Drive road right-of-way.
(zoning requirement is 47 feet) The property is zoned RCE,
Country Estate District.
An oath was administered to Paul Schlottke and his builder Tim
Thiede from Bartelme Builders by Mr. Brandt.
Mr. Schlottke explained that this is an old farm house in need
of expansion. The house is currently too small for his family,
and he would like to expand toward the north within the offset
conforming area.
Mr. Trejo described the property and structure as legal
nonconforming within the RCE zoning district. The lot is too
small in size and width for its location, and the house is too
small in area, close to the street and close to the southern
property line. With the renovations it would bring the house
closer in conformance to the required building area, and the
proposed expansion is planned in the conforming areas of the
lot. Expansion is limited to 50% of the fair market value of
the existing home, and according to the assessor's records,
there is $33,000 available to renovate this house.
Mr. Schlotke stated that the addition location is in the only
area possible to utilize the current interior pattern of the
residence. The expansion has been placed as far from the front
of the home as possible.
Appeal #30-97 Gary Witkowiak, 5030 West Cleveland Avenue,
Milwaukee, WI 53219 Property located at: S73 W17230 Lake
Drive,Muskego, WI 53150, Tax Key No. 2193.038. Under the
direction of Section 3.08 (1) Appeal Provisions, petitioner
seeks to appeal an administrative decision requiring the removal
of two accessory buildings on a residential lot without a
primary residence by a set date.
An oath was administered to Gary Witkowiak by Mr. Brandt.
Mr. Witkowiak stated he is in the process of purchasing this
property from Gary Gaspervich, and he would like to have the
ability to use the garage and boat house as storage while
building a new residence. He intends to commence building in
mid January and would like to utilize the construction
dumpster on the site to raze the boat house and the garage.
Mr. Trejo stated that this appeal is an administrative
decision that originally started with a letter sent to Mr.
Gaspervich over a violation to the Zoning Ordinance. The
Gaspervichs were advised, prior to applying for a razing
permit, that when a residence is razed, the accessory structures
to that residence must be removed also. The Gapervichs
applied for a razing permit indicating the removal of the three
structures on the lot. Only the residence was removed, and
further work was stopped. A letter was sent to the
Gaspervichs giving them until November 21, 19997, to remove
the remaining structures. The Gaspervichs applied for an
appeal to the letter in hopes of leaving the two accessory
structures on the lot. The garage is close to the lot line and
street, and the boat house is too close to the lot line and in
disrepair. Staff is concerned over the boat house, because it
resembles a small cottage with a fireplace, and what use it
::here
could possibly be since it is so far away from .��
construction is to be. Allowing the garage to remain without a
primary residence would be setting a precedence for future
building.
Mr. Witkowiak, stated he understood that he was buying into a
lot with the referenced violation. He is appealing the time
line in hopes of being able to utilize the buildngs during
construction of his new residence.
Appeal # 31-97 Michael and Amy Hall, S79 W16061 Bay Lane Place
Muskego, WI 53150, Tax Key No. 2217.989. Under the direction
of Chapter 14, Section 7.3 (2) (a) Appeals to the Board and
Chapter 17, Section 3.08 (1) Appeal Provisions, both of the
Municipal Code, petitioner seeks three (3) variances: 1.
Chapter 14-Floodplain Zoning Ordinance: Section 6.3 (1)
Floodfringe Areas. No modification or addition shall be
allowed to any nonconforming structure unless granted a variance
by the municipality. Petitioner seeks to expand and remodel an
existing residence within the floodfringe area. 2. Chapter
17--Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.02 (2) B. Building Location,
,Setbacks. No structure shall be erected, structurally altered
or relocated on a lot except within conformity with the district
it is located. Petitioner seeks a 17 foot variance to place an
accessory building 8.0 feet from the Bay Lane Place
right-of-way. (zoning requirement is 25 feet). 3. Chapter
17--Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.02 (3) A 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 0.7 foot variance to place an
accessory building 6.0 feet from the north property line.
(zoning requirement is 6.7 feet) The property is zoned
RS-3/OLS, Suburban Residence District with a Lake Shore
Overlay
Mr. Brandt administered an oath to Michael and Amy Hall, Rich
Reboine and Steve Sharpe. Mr. Schneiker stepped down from
hearing this appeal.
Mr. Hall stated the roof joist have been water damaged due to
the flat roof and the lack of repairs during the time this was a
rental property. Mr. Hall's family has enlarged and with no
basement nor garage, they are very cramped in this small home.
Their intent is to uphold the ordinances and protect the
environment, by placing an addition on there home above the
existing residence, not expanding the foot print of the existing
structure.
Mr. Trejo stated before any variance could be granted Chapter
14 Flood Plain Ordinance needs addressing. This property is in
the flood plain and the property would need to be zoned out of
the flood plain prior to discussing any variances. The proposed
garage is not included in Chapter 14, however, a variance would
be required from the 60% rule and it would need to be footed as
to not float away in the event of a flood.
Mr. Reboine stated, as a neighbor, the property has improved
greatly. All the neighbors in this area have their garages too
close to the lot lines. Mr. Reboine is supporting this
proposed expansion 100%.
Mr. Sharpe discussed matters in regards to the flood plain,
stressing that the expansion does not expand the foot print of
the current residence.
After discussion with the Board members, Mr. Schepp made a
motion to defer this issue, citing that more information is
needed in regards to the appeals process stated in Chapter 14.
Mr. Brandt seconded. Upon roll call vote, the motion to defer
was approved.
Mr. Schneiker returned to his seat.
DELIBERATIONS:
Appeal #30-97
Mr. Brandt made a motion to approve the appeal as submitted.
Mr. Ross seconded. The Board discussed that Mr. Witkowiak was
well aware that the parcel was in violation with the Zoning
Code. The motion was amended to include that the boat house be
razed prior to the footing inspection for the new home and the
garage be razed prior to final inspection. Upon roll call vote,
the motion carried unanimously.
Appeal #32-97
Mr. Schneiker made a motion to approve appeal as submitted,
hardship cited being the pre-existing location of house on the
lot, the nonconformity of the parcel in the zoning district,
that the current expansion is further than the front of the
house and would not have a public safety impact on Crowbar Road,
and that the traffic generation on Crowbar Road is minimal and
would not be adversely affected by said expansion. Mr. Brant
seconded, upon roll call vote, motion carried unanimously.
