Director Muenkel explained this is the second addition to the Belle Chasse Subdivision. This
platted addition #2 consists of 37 new single family lots platted from two entrances off of
McShane Drive. Addition #2 doesn't encompass the whole property at this time. The
developers are actively building out this whole area and were only able to get the portion of
lots shown on this new plat ready with utilities and access by winter. A new final plat for the
rest of the subdivision will come back in spring.
The improvements are still continuing in relation to the Park and Conservation Board
recommendations. Outlot 10 is dedicated to the city for conservation purposes, wetlands
bordering private lots will be line with split rail fences, a trail will be installed down the length of
McShane Drive and continue to the Bluhm Park parking lot area, and grading and bridge
improvements are being completed in Bluhm Park as a balance for allowing the storm pond to
be located in an unused portion of Bluhm Park.

Public Comment:
Steve Cybell, S87 W13445 Priegel Drive
In favor of subdivision
Concerned with public hunting areas being purchased by the DNR near his property
and this new subdivision
Director Muenkel explained the Aster Hill Estates preliminary plat proposes 51 single family
lots and outlots for wetland preservation, stormwater management, and open space
preservation.
Plan Commission and Common Council approved a Planned Development earlier this year
with a large western outlot that was to be dedicated to the city for Park and Conservation
purposes due to the area being within the Big Muskego Wildlife Area and the need for a
neighborhood park in this area of the community. An easement for a trail along North Cape is
in place on the plat also.

Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan Amendment for the Jerome Drugs
Retail Center located in the SE 1/4 of Section 9 (Tax Key No. 2196.032 / S75 W17301-
51 Janesville Road). Commissioner Buckmaster seconded.
Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to amend RESOLUTION #PC 064-2014 to read
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That landscape islands are usually required every 10
parking stalls but instead only two landscape islands will be required, one at each
end of the center parking area these are waived as none existed in the existing
parking lot from past approvals and extensive landscaping is found along the
Janesville Road frontage.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That at least a 2-foot band of masonry material will be
added to the base of each column.
Commissioner Buckmaster seconded.
Motion Passed 7 in favor.
Motion Passed 7 in favor.
Director Muenkel explained the Westwood Center property is located on the SE corner of
Janesville Road and Lannon Drive. The owner would like to make extensive exterior
modifications to the structure and site in light of the recent Janesville Road reconstruction.
The project will consist of the following:
Overhaul the existing parking lot on the north and east sides by removing and replacing
asphalt
Removing the existing concrete sidewalk in front of the center and replacing.
Re-striping the parking.
Add new signage.
Revitalize the main north facade and north ends of the west/east facades
It was the consensus of the Plan Commission to require two landscape areas on each end of
the center parking isle.
Commission Bartlett suggested requiring a masonry product along the bottom of the columns
to protect against wear.
Commissioner Hulbert expressed concern with different types of signage on the building and
would like to see all signs be channel letters.
