Mr. and Mrs. James Chatham were present and explained that
they had requested a variance from the Board of Appeals to per-
mit construction of a smaller home than the ordinance permitted
on Crowbar Road, and that the Board had recommended the Chatham's
plans to reduce the house size requirements in that area. Mr.
appear before the Plan Commission to determine if there were any
Chatham indicated he would be willing to increase the size of the
log home proposed but that it would not meet the requirements of
the RCE district. He stated he was interested in the conserva-
a quality home to fit in the natural setting of this non-conforming
tion of natural resources and that he felt he.would be building
lot. Mayor Gottfried indicated that even if the Plan Commission
looked for ways to permit a smaller home in certain areas
assuming the value would be held up, it would take a very long
time, and,that even a zoning change has many requirements.
Zoning Officer Lee stated that because it is so undeveloped
in that area, he felt the Board of Appeals would be usurping the authority of the Plan Commission, but if the Board of Appeals
felt the non-conforming status of the lot would be considered
a hardship they could grant the variance. With Mr. Chatham's
addition to the size of the home the variance requested would
be reduced from 762 sq. ft. to 408 sq. ft.
ADJOURNMENT Mr. Schmidt moved to adjourn at 8:50 P.M. Mr.

RE: Recycling Center Proposal in New Berlin
at Northwest edge of Muskego
The Town & Country Waste Service Inc. is seeking conditional Use
Approval of a proposed recycling complex between College Ave and the on-ramp
of bskego.
to Highway 15, east toward Milwaukee, in New Berlin on the edge of the City
e A similar application was made to the City of Greenfield but re-
jected by their City Plan Commission because of the additiodactivity that
would be brought into the area--especially heavy truck traffic. That request
had been for a zoning change.
The request in New Berlin is for conditional use approval. The
City of bskego is affected because of the adjacent location to the City and
to City of Muskego property owners within 300 feet of the proposed development.
Although Highway 15 is located in the City of New Berlin, it is
immediate to the entrance of the City of Muskego at this point and would therefore
have a visual effect as oneenters the City. It would also be near the South
on-ramp to Highway 15. The County’ ..
property be on College Ave. as far from Racine Ave, (to the East) as pbssible.
has proposed that access to this
The concern for distance from Racine Ave. indicates the concern for this add-
itional truck traffic. Depending upon the volume of truck traffic generated,
this would add to cross traffic problem not only in gaining access to Highway
15 but also to the traffic situation traversing Highway 15.
This brings the proposed development adjacent to the highway right-of-ways--
on 15 and “Y‘ (Racine Ave.).
Cross traffic situations should be avoidedmear:highway ramps.
Proposed operational hours would be from 5:30 A.M. to 6:OO P.M.
Although no odors could be expected as long as - storage of waste did not
occur and as long as the operation is indoors, this operation would be con-
sidered as an incompatible use to residential properties within a distance of
500 feet.
