Resolution #P.C. 66-91 would pertain to the coming and going of
the trucks parked. Mayor Salentine asked the Strassers what hours
they were looking for. The Strassers responded that they used to
be open 24 hours and are requesting an expansion of hours so that
the trucks parked can leave as early as 5:30 A.M. and come in as
late as 9:00 P.M. They expressed a concern regarding the hours
grant. The truckers need expanded hours. Mr. Elliott appeared imposed as a condition of the expansion of their conditional use
before the Plan Commission and expressed objection to the request
for expanded hours. Commissioner Honl asked the Strassers if a
compromise could be reached between them and the Kristen Down
Subdivision, possibly extending the hours to be one hour earlier
and one hour later. The Strassers responded yes. Chairman
Salentine asked the members if they felt this request for an
expansion of hours warranted another public hearing. Gene Kovacs
responded that another public hearing would require publication in
the newspaper. A Plan Commission review, however, would not and
only those people notified previously would again be contacted and
given an opportunity to be heard. It was agreed upon by all Plan
Commission members that this would be placed on the agenda at the
next Plan Commission meeting to be held on July 16 to review the

Resolution #P.C. 107-91- Approval/Disapproval of sketch to
divide a lot addressed as W138 S7022 Sherwood Circle for Herminia W Gulan. Gene Kovacs stated that this resolution was deferred at
the June 18, 1991 meeting so that the actual square footage of
both lots could be accurately determined. Mr. Kovas stated that
this had been done and that the two lots created contain 15,515
square feet and 16,450 square feet or a total of 31,964. The
zoning for this area provides that the lots be a minimun of 20,000
square feet. The lots adjoining her property exceed 20,000 square
feet. The policy of the Plan Commission has been to allow a 10%
size variance. Ms. Gulan's lots would require 22.5% and 17.75%
size variances, respectively. The Plan Commission felt this was
too great a deviation from the 10% variance. Herminia Gulan
appeared before the Plan Commission and stated that she would like
to sell the land. Mr. Kovacs suggested that she could go to the
Board of Appeals, but that they would not consider financial gain
or loss as a hardship. The Plan Commission recommended to Ms.
Gulan that she attempt to sell some of the land to her adjoining
neighbors or attempt to purchase some to increase the size of her

Road/Road Bond. Mr. Honl questioned if the road would be
dustproofed. Mr. Jewell stated that it would be watered
down. Mr. Schweitzer stated he did not believe that would
be sufficient and expressed concern about the dust
affecting the plants. Mr. Jewell questioned the road bond
issue and stated that it would be difficult to determine
whose trucks did damage, if any, if truck traffic on road
is heavy at present time. Ald. Sanders stated he would
like to see data on this and stated that this was still
an issue that needed to be addressed. The Commission
agreed that the Public Works Dept. as well as the Police
Dept. should be involved and their input requested
regarding the road, traffic, etc. Mr. Jewell did confirm
that only BFI vehicles would be allowed in and out of the
site.
Chairman Salentine stated that he would like to observe
a similar site in operation. He feels that this type of
operation would stop the expansion of the existing landfills.
The closest site is in Eau Claire.
Ms. Sherry Fredricks, Chairperson of the Solid Waste Board of
Waukesha County, was present and offered the Plan Commission
her comments and information. She stated that this should be
welcome by farmers in the area with clay soil. She

the land that would be used for the application and not
rent.
Chairman Salentine and the Commission members felt strongly that
this theory could have positive effects for the city. Alderman
Simmons stated the need for answers to the problem of disposal of
yard waste in the near future. Mrs. Rector stated that all
avenues need to be looked at as this could be very helpful. Since
many questions and concerns remained, however, Mr. Honl made a
motion to defer the Resolution. Mrs. Rector seconded. Mr.
Schweitzer appealed to the Commission to look at another site for
this application. Upon a voice vote, the motion to defer passed
unanimously.

asked why it was no longer in Brookfield and Mr. Bohrer stated
that the land was sold for another restaurant to be built. The
Commission questioned Mr. Bohrer on construction of an addition
asphalting. Concern was raised as to the present condition of
to accompany the diner, as well as future landscaping and

Department boat in the NE & SE 1/4 of Section 9. Alderman Sanders
moved for adoption and Mr. Schmidt seconded. Police Chief Johnson
appeared before the Commission to request approval. He noted the
need to obtain a new location for docking of the boat. Chief
Johnson stated the reasons the Bay Breeze location would be
advantageous: the location is secure, the water is deep and it
would offer quick and easy access to the lake. The property
owners do not object. Mrs. Rector noted the pluses of the
private party giving something to the Police Department and
location but also stated her concern as to the appearance of a
