RESOLUTION PC 041-2018 -
Approval of a Conditional Use Grant for reasonable accomodations for the disabled for the
property located at W186 S7544 Kingston Drive/ Tax Key No. 2195.026.
Commissioner Jacques made a motion to Approve Resolution PC 041-2018. Ald. Kubacki
seconded.
Mr. Trzebiatowski explained this request is for a Conditional Use Grant for accommodations for
the disabled. The zoning code allows, via a conditional use grant, waivers to a
dimensional/area zoning regulations. The applicant is proposing to remvoe the existing
detached garage and to add a new handicap accessible single floor addition with a new
attached garage. The reason for the CUG is due to open space concerns with the proposed
addition. As part of the new proposal, the owner is removing the existing asphalt driveway and
sidewalk and is going to be replacing them with a permeable material to try to be as complaint
as possible with the open space regulations. With the permeable driveway/walkway, the
property will consume 2,869 SF (32.6% of the lot), which is 671 SF over the allowed limit of
2,198 SF (25% of the lot).
Commissioner Buckmaster questioned who validates the need for this Conditional Use Grant
approval. Mr. Trzebiatowski stated the City could ask for basic proof. Mayor Chiaverotti added
this would have to be verified by the City Attorney. Mr. Trzebiatowski explained the city would
have the right to revisit or revoke the CUG if the need was not valid.
Commissioner Buckmaster stated he would like to see set standards for Plan Commission to
refer to going forward.
Ald. Kubacki questioned if other modifications could be made possibly to the two car garage.
Ald Kubacki also suggested the garage structure be removed upon sale or no longer needing
the CUG.
Upon a roll call vote, Resolution PC 041-2018 passed 5-1 with Ald. Kubacki voting no.
RESOLUTION PC 042-2018 -
Approval of the scoreboard for Muskego High School S87 W18509 Woods Road / Tax Key No.
2242.999.
Commissioner Bartlett made a motion to Approve Resolution PC 042-2018. Commissioner
Peardon seconded.
Mr. Trzebiatowski explained the district is proposing a different location for the scoreboard.
The new location is just off the north end of the track, south of the long jump pit, about 66 feet
behind the lot line. Typical signage heights allow a 7 foot height at the lot line with an
additional foot being allowed for every 2 feet of setback, which in this case could allow a total
maximum height of 40 feet (even though signs usually max out at 20 feet).
Jeremiah Johnson, Muskego Norway School Disctirct, was present and explained the reason
for the new location is to not block track events and to improve visibility to the home stands.
Ryan McMillan, Muskego Norway School District, explained placing the scoreboard in the
middle would give better acoustics and viewing for games, community events, and possible
graduation. Mr. McMillan added this location was the scoreboard company's professional
recommendation.
Gary Ellerson, S86 W18643 Sue Marie Lane, requested the Plan Commission look at offseting
the location to not block the view of the field. Mr. Ellerson added that the neighbor to the right
has 45 foot trees and would not see the scoreboard.
