LLOYD'S CAMPING CENTER - The request of Mr. John Lloyd regarding the park-
sidered. Said request contained the following:
June 23, 1969
Gentlemen:
When we originally received permission to open our camping
store at 575 W17461 Janesville Road, it was stipulated by
your commission that we would be allowed to display one, (11,
recreational vehicle only in front of our place of business.
A high percentage of our business is of the impluse variety,
that is; prospective customers stop to look at out trailers
as they are driving by on Janesville Road. We have found
during the past few months that when we display three or four
recreational vehicles on the Highway 24 side of the parking
lot, our customer traffic has in some instances doubled.
Please use this letter as a formal request to grant us per-
mission to display three recreation vehicles at the front of
our parking area during the weekdays. On weekends we will
display more units in the parking lot, but will remove them
for the weekday operation.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ John R. Lloyd
John R. Lloyd,
President
JRL/gv
Mr. Raiman indicated that he would like to be sure that the "Three re-
quested" would not lead to six. Mr. Buehler asked of the Building Inspec-
tor whether the trailer parking dispay becomes congested and Mr. Lee
said that he has received no complaints. Mrs. Sanders asked whether the
parking of trailers obstructs vision to the west? Mr. Lee said that
setback is sufficient enough from Janesville Road. Discussion followed
concerning lease arrangements between lessee and lessor regarding restrict-
ions imposed as to number of trailers to be parked permitted and Mr. Basse
inquired of the Inspector how this can be enforced. Mr. Lee indicated
that it was a matter of contacting operator, Mr. Lloyd, if it appeared
there was a violation. Mr. Buehler felt that the request was reasonable
while Chairman Narlock inquired whether the display of more than one vehi-
cle would affect appearance from Janesville Road and Mr. Lee said that,
he felt not. Mr. Raiman moved that the Plan Commission grant Mr. Lloyd's
request to display three recreation vehicles at S75 W17461 Janesville
Road on weekdays only, motion seconded by Mr. Bertram, motion carried.

over the need for a common restoration plan, that is, between this opera-
tion and that of Wauer's extractive operation. Mr. Bechthold stated that
Mr. Wauer had been granted his permit first, that he did feel that point
brought up regarding establishing a "common Line" was sound, but that this
line will not be met this .year. Mr. Kelsenberg reminded Messrs. Becht-
hold and retzlaff that a current restoration plan must be prepared in
accordance with 6.07 (12). Mr. Buehler moved that a public hearing be

June 24, 1969
Common Council Chairman (Walter Wollman)
Muskego Common Council
Muskego Plan Commission
The undersigned petitions the City of Muskego for the following:
1. Defer all action on our propos.al for jointly establishing
Muskego's first Industrial Park, until further study is made
of the impact an industrial development would have on our
present and future tax base as related to the cost.
2. Consider the purchase by the City of Muskego of the W. Neiman
and Milt Muehl farms, now offered for sale to be developed
soley by the City of Muskego for industrial use compared to
our proposal.
3. That the zoning of such lands described in our proposal remain
unchanged until acceptance of our proposal, or same revised,
so as to be acceptable to both parties,except for the follow-
ing: Lands abutting New Racine Ave. (approx. 941 feet frontage)
requests it be rezoned to Commerical Use (zoning 8-2 and a
to a depth of 650 feet consisting of 14 acres. The etitioner
date for a public hearing be set at this time.
I;
The above described land to be used for commerical development
would be phase 1, which would be developed immediately in accordance
with the layout submitted by the City Engineer Joseph Kelsenberg.

The lands to the west of this area could still be developed ac-
Muskego and Muskego Industrial Park Inc., can agree on a proposal
cording to our proposal and City Engineer layout, if the City of
acceptable to both parties. If the City finds it is not interested
or unable to participate, and since the developer finds it econom-
such lands would then be developed for residential use as soon as
ically unfeasable to develop it to industry without assistance,
possible.
We extend the time for acceptance of our proposal submitted May 4,
1969 to July 15, 1969.
Yours truly,
MUSKEG0 INDUSTRIAL PARK INC.

Raymond R. Wallner, Sec.
Planner Knetzger asked whether Mr. Wallner was proposing a shopping
center or business lots and Mr. Wallner indicated business lots. Mr.
stores in general, perhaps a building and loan. Mrs. Sanders felt that
Kelsenberg asked as to what types of business and Mr. Wallner answered,
development of 15 acres without a sound plan would not be good business
and also indicated that she would like to see the acreage develop under a
planned development. Ingress and egress was also discussed and Mr. Kel-
senberg stated the property could only be served by one road. Mr. Buehler
felt that there was a great conflict of interest. Planner Knetzger's re-
commendation at this time was to table because policies must be determined
as to General Plan Revision, Expansion and Phasing of Isdustrial Areas,
Civic Center and Industrial Park Development Studies. He also informed
the commission that their firm would be in a position to present the
balance of the report "Illustrative Plan: The Pedestrian Open-Space
Neighborhood", and that their firm had most recently met with Gazinski,
Schulze and Zemanovic, Architects, and they took an even more conserva-
tive view in regards to locating industrial development adjacment to a
works department adjacent to/ and or near, a civic center due to stock
civic center. Mulch discussion followed concerning development of public
piling of material, proposed location of public works buildings, cost per
acre industrial development versus residential development (including
industrial, etc. Mr. Buehler asked Mr. Wallner whether any industries had
just sewers and roads), advisability of locating commerical adjacent to
shown an interest in his proposed area and Mr. Wallner said, nothing really
because area is still so uncertain. Mr. Wallner assured the commission his
selling off single parcels and then if the proposed Industrial zoning a- ..
plans presently would be an nhase #1. to commerically develope the 15 acres
round this 15 acres is not approved, their firm would deve.lope resident-
1s very costly to them
* !ally under the permited RS-2 zoning. Mr. Wallner' stated that each delay
Page 5
as developers and that he would like a "yes or no" answer. He also
indicated he felt that the only time the city shows an interest in
industrial development was at election time. Mr. Buehler reminded
Mr. Wallner that this was not true as the city has spent a great deal
of time im completing these plats for Mr. Wallner, a private developer,
and that it would be "fool hardy" to say that the city would not be
receptive to industrial development. Mr. Buehler also felt the commis-
sion could not make a decision without all information needed, such as;
proposed roads, determination of use, lot layout, etc.. Planner
Knetzger confirmed this opinion by reminding the commission and develop-
er that the road exit to the north may be of utmost importance as the
and Planner agreed that it would be advisable to set aside time during
land use plan reviewed a year ago did show a parkway. The Commission
the July 15th meeting to review the Land Use Plan at which time the
Planner will submit his written report. The Commission concurred that
city's architectural firm of Gazinski, Zemanovic and Schulze. The fol-
all interested parties will be invited to this meeting as well as the
zoning petition, Mr. Buehler moved that the Plan Commission conduct an
lowing action was taken in regard to Muskego Industrial Parks, Inc., re-
informal hearing on July 15th, 7:30 P.M. in accordance with Sec. 3.06
(2) D.2, seconded by Mr. Kelsenberg and motion carried.
STEVEN SCHULER - Mr. Schuler did not appear, however, he did seek ap-
proval of a certified survey map for part of Lots 9 and 10, McLaughlin's
Subdivision of part of the SW of Sec. 32, T5N, R2BE. On December 29,
1967 the Commission indicated by letter "that a more thorough descrip-
tion will be necessary for the odd-shaped parcel abutting Lake Denoon
as well as showing the location of the Demshar house in relation to
your property and to indicate an easement for driveway purposes if one
does exist". There appeared to be a conflict in location of Mr. Denshar's
building as indicated on a survey prepared for Mr. A. F. Demshar by Lan-
dry Survey Service as compared to that survey prepared by Mr. Schuler's
surveyor, John F. Degen. It was the commission's direction that the
City Engineer check each surveyor so as to clear up this question. Mr.
Basse moved that the plat be forwarded to the City Engineer for his re-
view and report, motion seconded by Mr. Raiman and motion carried.

CITY PLANNER'S REPORT - 124th Street and the Jurisdictional Highway
System Plan for Milwaukee, Wisconsin:
June 16, 1969
Dear Mr. Knetzger:
Page 7
The Jurisdictional Highway Study of arterial routes in Milwaukee
County was preceded by a comprehensive Land Use Transportation
Study conducted by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning
Commission.
A major phase of the Land Use Transportation Study was the devel-
opment of a functional highway system plan for the seven county
region. Using 1990 as a target year for the study an arterial
system was established to adequately serve the existing and pro-
jected land use needs through this design year.
This network was carefully reviewed and refined in light of the
charted existing and proposed land uses as part of the jurisdict-
ional study. This review did not indicate a need for an arterial
route in the location you suggest.
We do not deem it significantly important to locate roadways on
all county boundaries. Because we feel the arterial needs are
we have no particular interest in establishing the route which
satisfactorily being provided for in this portion of the county,
you suggest.
We have, however, no objection if local units of government jointly
choose to construct a roadway at this location.
Very truly yours,
