MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS:
Discussion--blanket approval of sign for the Lincoln Point Shopping
whether the approval by the Commission was for all sign
Mr. Kirch requested clarification from the Plan Commission as to
installation or just uniform size approval. Chairman Salentine
said he remembers it was for all sign approvals, but Mr. Zillig
would be the architectural review committee for the signs before
they are given to the Building Inspection Department for permits.
His past practice has been to approve flat wall signs uniform in
size. This approval was given at the time the Plan Commission
approved the site plan for Lincoln Point. Mr. Hulbert doesn't
remember the size being related to the approval at that time. All
commissioners expressed agreement with the blanket sign approval
for Lincoln Point Shopping Center. Mr. Chris Zillig will be
before a permit is given.
requested to submit a letter confirming his approval for each sign
Alderman Sanders asked about the median strip on the site plan.
Mr. Kirch said he would be meeting with Mr. Zillig soon to discuss
this matter.
Discussion--Revisions to Land Division Ordinance with regard to
number of land divisions permitted before requiring platting.
After some discussion, the commissioners recommended the Common
Council through Rules, Laws and Ordinances adopt changes

concerning the platting perhaps by putting a 10% latitude in lot
size (frontage area).
Discussion--Mr. Hulbert discussed the Rules of the Industrial Park
particularly the need to get quality constructed buildings--not
pole type buildings, which won't last long. Whenever an architect
draws the plans, the commission sees quality.

Council on February 26th at 7:OO p.m. in City Hall/Council
Chambers to discuss the Presentation of Final Draft of
Comprehensive Plan for the City of Muskego. There will be cable
that night. This first meeting will be to listen to the report.

rebuttle after changes. Mr. Schmidt felt we can't rush this
study. There was some discussion to set a moratorium for
development while this plan is studied.
