DISAPPROVAL OF SKETCH FOR LAND DIV:SION-STEFAN:AK/NERBY
Chairman Salentine stated that there would first be discussion Of
this matter. Mr. Gene Kovacs, representing the Planning h
Development Department stated the size requirements for the two
parcels. Lot A is 3,500 square feet below the 40,000 square feet
requirement for sewered lots in an RSE zone district and is less
than half the size of the 80,000 square feet requirement for
unsewered lots under RSE zoning. Lot 2 is 75,000 square feet and
a non-conforming legal lot. The Plan Commission may grant
variances to lot sizes according to the city's subdivision
ordinance. The lots are not in the Sewer Service Area. Mr.
Stefaniak spoke in favor of this land division and stated that
there are four existing homes not having any more land than he
does. He divided the land in two because the sewer bill would be
higher than the worth of the land. He is out of the sewer
service area. Mr. Raimann stated that in the past the Plan
Commission used a 10% variance guideline and he can't vote for it
under these conditions. Mr. Kovacs responded that the land
division ordinance does not state a specific percentage for
variance purposes. Chairman Salentine felt that the Plan
Commission needs a legal opinion to research this matter. Mr.

and explained that he had talked to the developer, Mr. John Groh,
the citizen representative, Mr. Jim Heiden and went to the
site. He sees this study as a component of the Comprehensive
Plan, which looks at the existing neighborhood and then the
property developed. Dr. Mangiamele went on to explain the
outline of his study. He feels that two access points from the
cul de sac would be better. A P.U.D. (Planned Unit Development)
approach would control the area to be developed. He showed

afternoon and been in contact with Dr. Mangiamele about the
meeting date and time. Other area residents expressed
displeasure with the possibility of increased traffic and
apartment buildings on Hillendale. One neighbor was concerned
about the adequate water supply in his well~if there were new
wells for the apartment buildings; another neighbor was concerned
about the wells and what recourse they would have if they had
problems. Chairman Salentine responded that the wells having
problems in Muskego were a result of coliform counts. There was some discussion about the traffic on College and Racine.

Hillendale rather than their backyards which would have outside

then directed the developer to take another look at the project
and try to incorporate some of the site design recommendations
which were discussed. They indicated that they would consider a
revised plan and possibly make a recommendation at a future Plan
Commission meeting. There being no further questions or
comments, this discussion ended at 11;30 P.M.
