Mr. & Mrs. Dalal said their builder (Morton Builders) was late and
was bringing photographs of other Morton buildings to show the
commissioners. There was a brief discussion about the brick being
with cedar or metal. Chairman Salentine asked the owners if they
placed up to the eve height and all the way around the building
wished to proceed without the builder or be deferred to the end of
the meeting? Mr. & Mrs. Dalal decided to defer until later.
Everyone was in agreement.
Resolution #P.C. 93-92 -- Approval of building, site and
at the former Ray's garage site at 566 W14427 Janesville Road.
Chairman Salentine asked Ald. Taube to explain why this was back
on the floor. Ald. Taube said several aldermen had approached him
to have this resolution reconsidered concerning the signage after
reading the Plan Commission Minutes of May 19, 1992. Ald. Taube
made a motion to bring this resolution back on the floor for
reconsidertion for discussion and Mr. Honl seconded. Upon a roll
call vote the motion to bring this resolution back on the floor
for reconsideration passed unanimously. Ald. Taube said the
aldermen expressed concern with the hours the sign would be lit,
(which should have said "dusk to dawn" in the minutes); the
signage location on a building, which was as tall as it is wide,
and the 5% rule were questioned. Mr. Kirch was asked to present
the signage background on several other businesses in the area,
which have similar zoning, etc. He said Muskego Marine had one
freestanding sign on a pole and one flat wall sign. Ald. Taube
said more than one tenant share the freestanding sign at that
location, and the sign appears to be on the lot line. E.J.
Salentine across the street from Ray's Garage had 8 signs
originally and now should only have 4 signs and there was no
Mr. Honl commented that the Salentine sign is lit at night. Mr.
information in the file to indicate the hours the signs are lit.
Kirch said the zoning for all three properties is B-3. Mr. Dale
Kreil can have 5% or 60 sq. ft. as per code--the placement is the
Plan Commission's determination. Mr. Dale Kreil was present and
Resolution #P.C. 115-92 -- Approval of signs for Dale Kreil
3
Plan Commission Meeting June 2, 1992
stated he needs all signage, as requested, to be lit for
advertising from dusk to dawn for security reasons and the amount
of signage to comply with dealership requirements. Mr. DeAngelis
asked Mr. Kreil if the dealer is required to have a certain
amount? Mr. Kreil responded no, just logos with certain
requirements. He told the commissioners he has already purchased
these signs after getting Plan Commission approval on 5/19/92, and
will be using Midwest Sign Company to erect them. He passed out
several brochures indicating the logos for his signs. All four
signs will be uniform in size. He wishes in the future to change
the "Casanova's" sign to either "Country Lakes Marine" or "New
Casanova Country Lakes Marine". He would like to add "Tracker" to
the sign. Mrs. Smith said her reason for voting against passage
of the resolution was because she felt he was crunching all four
signs in an area on the front of the building. Ald. Taube said if
Mr. Kreil's signs are 3' x 5' there would be 3' between the
signs. Mrs. Smith felt the clock and brick work was also a factor
in how the signs would look on the front of the building. Ald.
Taube felt Mr. Kreil may possibly have to get custom-made signs if
he changed the sizes. Mr. Hulbert said he also had voted no
windows. Mr. Kreil responded he likes to open the windows and
because of the number of signs--perhaps the logos could go in the
wouldn't want signs blocking them. More discussion followed with
ideas on the signage. Mr. Hulbert asked if all five would be
lit? Ald. Taube said that was his understanding. Mr. Kirch
suggested the four flat wall signs be located below the the clock
on the first floor of the building.
Ald. Taube said if the commissioners feel they are uncomfortable
with the sign ordinance, they shouldn't change it in mid-stream
with Mr. Kreil, but send it to Rules, Laws and Ordinances with
their recommended changes. Mr. Kreil is within the 5% allowed and
it is hard to deny him.
More discussion followed regarding the hours the signs would be
lit. Mr. Honl suggested they make a ruling to turn off all signs
for Muskego businesses at 11:OO PM. He noted E.J. Salentine's
sign was lit all night. Mr. Kreil responded he would have a timer
Salentine asked the commissioners if they had any amendments? Mr.
for the lights and needed them for security reasons. Chairman
Hulbert made a motion to amend the resolution to limit the flat
wall signs to three (3) with one (1) freestanding sign and Mrs.
Smith seconded. A brief discussion followed. Upon a roll call
vote the motion to amend the resolution concerning the number of
signs was defeated by a vote of 5 to 2 with Mr. Hulbert and Mrs.
Mr. Honl, Mr. DeAngelis and Ald. Taube voting against.
Smith voting for the amendment and Mayor Salentine, Mr. Raimann,
More discussion followed concerning the hours the signs are to be
lit. Chairman Salentine said now we are back to one freestanding
aldermen's concerns were over the lighting also. Mr. Honl made a
sign with four logo signs on the building. Ald. Taube said the
motion to further amend the resolution to have only "Casanova's"
name remain on the freestanding sign without the logo for

Lakes Marine'' or "New Casanova's Country Lakes Marine". He has to
make a decision. Ald. Sanders was present to ask if the old
freestanding sign pole will be used? Mr. Kirch responded the pole
has to be in the same location to conform. Mr. Honl called for
the question. Chairman Salentine said the commissioners must
first vote on the choice of one name on the freestanding sign as
indicated by Mr. Kreil to be Country Lakes Marine as the amendment
by Mr. Honl and Mr. Hulbert. Mr. Honl called for the question.
Upon a roll call vote the motion to call for the question was
defeated by a vote of 5 to 2 with Mr. Hulbert and Ald. Taube

restoration plan? Mr. Glockner said yes. Chairman Salentine said
he remembered it would be a lake but so far only a small amount
has been extracted. Mr. Glockner extracts appproximately 50 loads
a year and the slope is 1' to 4' or 1' to 2'. Mr. Kirch read the
conditions of Mr. Glockner's Conditional Use Permit where it
stated the slope has to be 1' to 4' with a restoration bond of
$25,000. Chairman Salentine noted the junk business is not a part
heard on this matter. Upon a roll call vote the motion to adopt

Patterson was present and said he'd received a call and went
on-site to look at the location for the proposed structure. He
compared what was sent to the neighbors for the Board of Appeals
setback. Mr. Kirch said the property line includes the easement.
There are other sheds nearby 15' to 20' from each other. Mr.
Hulbert shared Ald. Patterson's concern with the builder placing
the shed in the wrong position. Mr. Kirch felt the builder will
work with the owner and the Building Inspection Department to
construct the structure in the correct location. Mr. Cardenas was
told to contact his builder to make sure the structure is placed
in the correct location on his property. Upon a roll call vote
the motion to adopt passed unanimously.

one blocking the driveway (12 total). Mr. Kirch said if he parks
one car in the driveway that will eliminate people from driving
around the back. He also asked Mr. Anton if extending the
operating hours on Thursday and Friday evenings to 8:OO PM between
February and October as read in the resolution was acceptable.
Mr. Anton said it was. Mr. Anton wishes to construct a split rail

complaints had been received at the Planning Department? The

size of the building would be a problem? Mr. Kirch said no. Mr.
Raimann requested a timeframe for completion of this large
building. Mrs. Kurer said she would like to take down the "pigs
stable" in June. Mr. Kirch said the Plan Commission could have a
one year completion date for this large building. Some of the
commissioners were concerned that the building is too large and
