Plan Commission Supplement PC 001-2016
For the meeting of: January
REQUEST: Conditional Use Grant and Building, Site, and Operation Plan for Tess Corners Automotive
Tax Key No. 2165.989.001 / W145 S6645 Tess Corners Drive
NE ¼ of Section 2
PETITIONER: Nathan Laurent (Keller Inc.) on behalf of Jim Minelli (Tess Corners Automotive)
INTRODUCED: January 5, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 001-2016
No new information has been submitted since the January 2016 Plan Commission
meeting. As such staff will be looking for a deferral until new info is received.
On December 23, 2015 a submittal was received from Keller, Inc. for Tess Corners Automotive for a new
automotive service building at the northwest corner of Janesville Road and Tess Corners Drive. This site
currently contains a home with a few outbuildings. The property also used to contain a restaurant, which
was removed as part of the Janesville Road widening.
CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED PLANS 001-2016
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the property for commercial uses. The petition is
consistent with the Plan.
Zoning: The property is zoned HC-1, Tess Corners Historic Crossroads District.
The use is permitted subject to CUG and BSO approval.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 001-2016
The submittal is included in the supplement consisting of a narrative, preliminary site plan, building
elevations, floor plans, colored renderings, and a photometric plan. As stated above, the petitioner
requests approvals for a new auto service business on a piece of land at the northwest corner of
Janesville Road and Tess Corners Drive. The proposed building will be about 7,583 square feet in size,
with an additional 71 square foot mezzanine. The building will contain a waiting room, an office, a parts
room, a break/locker room, a tire room, and a large repair bay containing eight (8) lifts and an alignment
rack. Proposed hours of the business are going to be 8:00AM to 6:00PM M-F, with possible future
weekend hours. The business will require a minimum of five (5) employees to start and long range plans
indicate a maximum of seven (7) employees. The shop estimates that the maximum number of
customers at the site at one time would be ten (10) people.
Architecture
The proposed eastern and southern elevations are similar to each other in material usage and the
northern and western elevations are similar to each other in material usage. The eastern and southern
elevations contain lap siding, shake siding, thin stone veneer, stucco textured fiber cement panels,
precast sills, and split face CMU. These two elevations provide a nice mix of materials and design
features. The majority of the north and west elevations contain split face CMU and vertical metal siding.
On these two elevations you also see a little bit of the lap siding, shake siding, and thin stone veneer.
There are some areas on the elevations that staff is suggesting some alterations as follows (these were
previously mentioned to the applicant):
1. South & East Elevations - Replace the split face CMU on these two elevations with the stone
veneer (at the same heights as currently shown for the CMU) so that the stone look is consistent
throughout these elevations. Currently with these portions of the building having different
masonry, it looks as if portions of the building were just tacked onto the larger repair garage
portion of the structure.
2. South & East Elevation – The design guide states that EIFS is not allowed on the elevations.
While EIFS is not proposed, there is a cement board product with a stucco finish, which could
look very similar to EIFS. As such, these materials should be removed and replaced with lap
siding for consistency on the elevation.
3. South Elevation - Continue the stone veneer in the center section of the building so that there is a
band across the entire elevation.
4. South Elevation - Add some dormers or a gable roof feature within the large eastern roof section.
This will help further enhance the design of this building and help the desig n better fit within the
design guide requirements.
5. West Elevation - Continue the stone veneer on the far southern side of this elevation where the
wall is currently all lap siding center section of the building so that there is a band across the
entire elevation.
6. West Elevation - A portion of this elevation will be visible as people travel eastward on Janesville
Road. The Plan Commission may want to consider some alteration to this elevation. The larger
portion of the building that houses the shop is curr ently proposed as CMU and vertical steel
siding which does not tie into the rest of the south elevation as well.
7. Steel Roof Areas - In order to have the roof features of the two different portions of the building
(the shop and the office areas) look cohesive, staff is suggesting that the entire building have roof
overhangs that match. This means that the steel roof portion of the building should have 2’-8”
overhangs similar to the rest of the building.
This area of the City is governed by the General Design Guide and the Historic Crossroad Design Guide.
The General Design Guide calls for 50% masonry product unless the Planning Commission finds reasons
not to apply the full extent of the guide. Currently the proposal has some good design elements (as it
relates to the design guides for this area) but per the items noted above, there are changes that staff feels
need to occur to further enhance the design and to bring it into compliance with the design guides. The
combination of masonry/stone and siding on some elevations will be satisfactory with the alteration
proposed by staff, but without those alterations, some elevations or portions of elevations will lack what
the design guides aim for. The design guide does not promote expanses of metal wall panel.
Relating to the colors of the building, no specific colors have been noted at this time. The submitted
rendering does show some general earth tone colors (tans, browns, greens, etc.) which is what the
Historic Crossroads design guide calls for. Final color details will need to be provided.
Currently the overhead doors are shown containing at least two rows of windows. This is a feature that
has been required on past auto repair facilities and is included within this proposal. The resolution is
drafted to require all overhead doors and non-glass pedestrian doors to match building colors. The
resolution also states that the color of any CMU, stone, brick, etc. must be produced in its intended color
and not painted.
Site, Parking, and Access
The site plan currently shows 30 parking stalls. Per the zoning code only one (1) space is needed for
every 150 SF of customer floor area, which in this building is about 400 SF. That would suggest only
three (3) stalls being needed. Based on the actual use, the customer count, number of car racks, and the
employee count, the parking provided should cover the actual site needs.
All parking stalls must be shown at 10’ x 20’ in size. Currently some stalls appear to be under that size.
Also, any driveways that can have the potential of two-way traffic must have a width of at least 24 feet.
This dimension may need to be increased in areas that are deemed a fire lane or fire street per the Fire
Department. Access to the site is currently shown off of Tess Corners Drive and Janesville Road. The
access off of Janesville Road will need to be approved by the County as Janesville Road is a County
highway.
The site plans currently shows curb and gutter on the site, with the exception of along the western parking
lot edge. To keep the entire site consistent throughout and consistent with other newer urban
developments in Muskego, the entire site should have curb and gutter, meaning that the western edge
also needs curb and gutter. The only exception to this would be if the stormwater requirements require
that the curb not be there.
The design guide for this area promotes pedestrian access/connections. Since there is sidewalk/trail
along Janesville Road, a connection should be made to that from this site.
Fire Department Approval
The site plan is subject to Fire Department approvals at the time of building permits. Possible changes to
the site plan may be required based upon the final Fire Department review.
Dumpsters/Outdoor Storage
A dumpster enclosure is proposed in the northwest corner of the parking lot. While no enclosure plans
are included at this time the narrative states that the enclosure will be 10’ x 12’ in size and be a 6 foot tall
board-on-board fence. Details of the enclosure will need to be provided before building permits can be
issued.
No specific details have been provided as to the parking/storage of vehicles on the site. With this being
the case, the resolution is drafted to state that no junked/wrecked vehicles can be stored outdoors on site
and no outdoor storage of products, materials, parts, etc. is allowed on site. The only items allowed
outdoor overnight are non-wrecked vehicles that are awaiting repair or pickup and these vehicles must all
be in marked stalls.
Landscaping
The site plan does show some conceptual landscaping but details have not been provided at this time.
The final landscape plan must include foundation plantings along the south and east sides of the building
as well as any required street trees. Also, ample landscaping/screening must be provided along the north
lot line, which is adjacent to a residential lot. Staff has been told that the petitioner/owner has talked with
the adjacent resident and they will work together to come to an agreement of what type of
landscaping/screening will be implemented in this area. A fully detailed landscape plan must be
submitted and approved before any building permits can be issued.
Signage
No signage details have been provided at this time. The applicant noted in the narrative t hat all signage
will be wall mounted with exterior lighting. Separate sign permit(s) will be required before any signage
can be installed. This includes any signage on the building, freestanding, and/or temporary signage.
Lighting
A photometric plan has been included in the submittal but no lighting details/cut sheets have been
provided at this time. The photometric plan seems to indicate that the lighting will all be building
mounted, with no freestanding lighting. Further lighting details will need t o be provided before building
permits can be issued. The design guide for this area notes that the lighting fixtures must be of a
decorative/historic design. Examples of such fixtures are shown within the Historic Crossroads Design
Guide. All lighting must be zero degree tilt and full cut-off. Any freestanding lighting must meet the
code/design guide requirements for height and the concrete base for any freestanding lighting cannot
exceed six (6) inches above grade. The current photometric plan shows that no lighting levels will exceed
0.5 foot-candles at the lot lines.
Sewer, Water, Stormwater, Grading
The development will be served by municipal sanitary sewer and municipal water. A stormwater pond is
shown in the northwest area of the site but there may not be a need for stormwater on site depending on
the total amount of added impervious surfaces. If stormwater management is required, then the
placement and design of it would need to be examined further to see if it can be placed in this location.
There may be concerns with this location due to floodplain, wetlands, and/or the proximity to the creek.
No site engineering or site topography work has been conducted or examined at this time by the
petitioner. City staff has strongly suggested that this be examined early on due to possible site concerns
but the applicant has stated that they are going to wait to do any engineering work until they know the
CUG for the use is acceptable. The possible engineering/site concerns are as follows:
General Site Topography/Grading – We know approximate site topography but, as noted
above, full detailed topography has not been determined by the petitioner at this time. Once this
is known, then we will need to see how the site will be graded. The grading of the site could alter
the building elevations, the site layout, and/or the need for retaining walls on site.
Creek/Stream – There is a creek/stream along the western side of this property. The ordinary
high water mark (OHWM) of this water feature may need to be known and it may need to be
known if this water feature is deemed navigable by the DNR.
Floodplain – Per the FEMA floodplain maps the creek/stream on this property has a floodplain
associated with it. As such there are regulations of what can and cannot happen within the
floodplain. Specifically, the maps indicate that there is a portion of the floodplain (floodway) on
the western side of the lot. Depending on how far this floodplain encroaches onto the lot, it could
impact where grading, filling/excavation, and/or parking/buildings can be located. The exact
floodplain boundary is based on site elevations so until full site topography is known we will not
know exactly where the floodplain is and how that will impact the site layout and/or grading.
Wetlands – Per the aerial photography for this site and knowing that there is a waterway on this
property, there may be wetlands on the site. To determine if wetlands are on the site or not a
qualified professional has to conduct a site inspection to determine this and to determine exactly
where the wetlands are if they are present. This typically can only occur when there is active
plant growth occurring. Given this, we would like to see at least a preliminary/approximate
wetland location on the site plans to make sure that any impervious surfaces and structures are
at least 15 feet away from any possible wetlands. Furthermore, before building permits can be
issued, a complete wetland delineation would need to occur to show/mark the exact location of
any wetlands on site. As is noted above, any structures or hard surfaces (driveways, etc.) must
be located at least 15 feet from any wetlands.
Staff recommends that these items noted above be looked at and addressed before final Plan
Commission approvals are granted to ensure that these items do not cause a last minute change that
could alter the building and/or site layout. Final approvals from the Engineering and Community
Developments for the items noted above must be granted before any building permit ca n be issued.
Other
The resolution requires that an annual review be placed on this property for the first two years the
business is in operation to ensure there are no issues with outdoor parking/storage. This has been the
recent policy for new auto related facilities.
The following are also part of the Plan Commission resolution:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all bollards must be painted to match the colors of the principal
structure.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That any new handicap signs be incorporated into bored bollards.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all roof top and ground mechanicals (including HVAC devices,
electrical transformers, etc.) must be screened from view and/or incorporated into the design of the
site/structure (screening, etc.) and should be approved by the Planning Division before the issuance of
building permits.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 001-2016
Deferral of Resolution PC 001-2016, subject to the items noted above being addressed. Staff does
not have any concerns with the proposed use i f the above noted items are all satisfactorily
addressed.
The applicant and owner have stated that they are most concerned at this time with making sure
the use (auto service) is acceptable to the Plan Commission for this property. The Plan
Commission may want to discuss this specific use so that the applicant and the owner can get a
feel if there are going to be any concerns with the proposed use. They have stated that they are
hesitant to spend too much money on further site/engineer work until they kno w that the use they
are looking for would be allowable. They have expressed that they understand that there still are
site and/or architectural items that need to be addressed.

RE: Tess Corners Automotive – Building, Site, Operation Plan Submittal
Dear City Plan Commission Members,
Jim Mileli is the Owner/Operator of Tess Corners Automotive. As the owner of Tess
Corners Automotive he has recently purchased the site located at the North West corner of
Janesville Road and Tess Corners Drive. The proposed BSO application is for the
relocation of Tess Corners Automotive to this new location.
The current zoning of the site is HC-1. The property is currently home to a rundown
antique store. The proposed use is a full service automotive repair shop. The business will
require minimum of (5) employees at the start. Long range planning indicates maximum of
(7) employees at this site. The repair shop anticipates a maximum number of clients at the
facility at one time being (10). It will have roughly (8) bays with lifts and one alignment rack.
It will hold a parts room, tire room, waiting area, offices, break room and lockers. Tess
Corners Automotive will have good access off the road with two entrances and appropriate
parking of (30) stalls.
The site is 1.28 acres (55,757 sq. ft.) with a proposed building floor area of 7,583 sq. ft.
There will be 27,666 sq. ft. of green space (49.6% of the site). The hours of operation will
be Monday – Friday from 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM. Additional Saturday hours may be instituted
in the future.
All exterior signage will be building mounted and illuminated by goose-neck style fixtures.
Specific signage plans will be subject to further city permitting and requirements. There will
be a 12’ x 10’ dumpster enclosure constructed of board on board wood fence 6’ high. The
exterior will include split face CMU, stone veneer masonry, stucco lap siding and vertical
metal siding. The rendering vaguely represents the final color scheme. Landscaping is highly
important and curb appealing on the property. On the north side of the property we will
create a landscape buffer to reduce any disturbance for our neighbor.
This application does not include any civil/survey work at this time because we are waiting
for CUG approval. Once we are approved we will start investigating the site. The site
currently shows storm water retention in case the need arises that we do need storm water
management.

City of Muskego
Plan Commission Supplement PC 003-2016
For the meeting of: February 2, 2016
REQUEST: Second Accessory Structure and Waiver of Materials
Tax Key No. 2174.185 / W182 S6521 Garnet Drive
NW ¼ of Section 4
PETITIONER: Russell Jones (Jones Law Firm LLC) on behalf of John & Kelly Skalla
INTRODUCED: February 2, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 003-2016
The petitioner recently constructed a 12.4’ x 20.3’ (252 SF) steel accessory structure/pole barn on their property
without a permit. This building needs Plan Commission approvals since there is already an existing two -story
detached garage (totaling 1,234 SF) on the property and a smaller garden shed that has not had a permit issued for
it. Requests for more than one accessory structure or more than one garden shed on a property are subject to
Plan Commission review per the Zoning Code. Plan Commission approvals are also needed since the accessory
structure is constructed with steel roofing and steel siding, which is not similar to the materials of the home and the
roofing materials are a different color. When colors and/or materials are not similar or the same as the house, then
Plan Commission can grant exceptions subject to certain previsions.
This property is allowed accessory structure(s) totaling no more than 1,422 SF. Currently on the property the
detached two-story garage and the newer un-permitted accessory structure total 1,486 SF, which is over the
allowed size limit by 64 SF. This does not include the unapproved garden shed, which we have been told
previously will be removed. A narrative, survey, and photos are attached for your review.
PLAN CONSISTENCY PC 003-2016
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the area for medium density residential land use. The
proposal for this residential outbuilding is consistent with the Plan.
Zoning:
The property is zoned RL-3 – Lakeshore Residence District. One accessory
structure (greater than 120 SF) and one garden shed (120 SF or less) are
allowed on each property if all other zoning regulations can be met. Additional
accessory structures and/or garden sheds can be allowed by the Plan
Commission with their review on a case-by-case basis, if the applicable zoning
regulations can be met. The proposal does NOT meet the bulk requirements of
the Zoning Code as there are numerous Zoning Code violations present within
this request.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 003-2016
Additional Accessory Structure
As is noted above, there is currently a two-story detached garage on the property and a garden shed (no permit).
The two-story detached garage was approved back in 2007 with two variances and a building permit. One variance
was for the height of the building since they wanted to add a second story and the other varian ce was for a waiver
to the material value of the second story addition since the structure is non-conforming. At that time, these
variances were granted based on the fact that the owners needed more storage space, a safe place for their kids to
play, and due to floodplain regulations.
Typically, asking for a second accessory is something that the Plan Commission has seemed to not have issues
with, as long as all other zoning regulations can be met, such as setbacks/offsets, open space, accessory structure
size limits, etc. and as long as the following code prevision is met:
No accessory use or structure shall be permitted that by reason of noise, dust, odor, appearance, or other
objectionable factor creates a nuisance or substantial ad verse effect on the property value or reasonable
enjoyment of the surrounding properties.
In the case of this request, the newly constructed steel accessory structure that is seeking approvals does not meet
numerous required zoning regulations. Here is break down of the zoning regulations that are not being met or are
unknown if they are being met (due to more survey information being required) as part of this request:
Location – This accessory structure does not meet the minimum required setback from the right-of-
way/front lot line. In this zoning district an accessory structure needs to be located at least 25 feet from the
right-of-way/front lot line. This building is currently located within the right-of-way, which is not allowable
per the Engineering/Public Works Department. The applicant has stated that they will alter and/or relocate
the garage to remove it from the right-of-way. Details relating to this alteration/relocation have not been
provided at this time. In any case, given the layout of this lot, there is no way this building, even if it is
altered, can be located between this home and the right-of-way without violating the minimum setback
requirement as the home currently sits only 23.1 feet from the right-of-way.
Size – The size of this newly constructed building is 252 SF and the existing two-story garage is 1,234 SF
(including both floors). That totals 1,486 SF, not including the unapproved garden shed which is going to
be removed. This property is only allowed a total of 1,422 SF. That means that the total is over the
allowed size limit by 64 SF.
Building Separation – The separation between two structures needs to be at least five (5) feet per the
Zoning Code. A separation distance of five (5) feet and ten (10) feet will still need to meet the Building
Code requirements as they relate to proper fire protection/fire walls, but are allowable per the Zoning Code.
The survey that was provided to the City does not dimension this separation distance, but it appears that
the new building may be close to, if not in violation of, this requirement. To determine if this is compliant or
not the survey will need to be updated to include the current or proposed separation distance. If the
separation is/would be less than five (5) feet, it would not meet the Zoning Code minimum requirement.
Open Space – Upon a preliminary calculation of the amount of open space consumed on this property with
the new accessory structure, the property is not in compliance with the Zoning Code requirement. The
footprint of the house (1,244 SF), the existing/old detached garage (617 SF), and the new accessory
structure (252 SF) total 2,113 SF. This property is allowed to consume approximately 1,995 SF (25% of
the lot area). This means that the property is about 118 SF over the allowed open space regulations.
Please note that these sizes are based on the survey that has been provided to us up to this point. There
will need to be updates to this survey to include the current/accurate lot size to the Ordinary High Water
Mark (OHWM). Also, the survey does not include any concrete, asphalt, or covered/roofed areas that
project out more than 2 feet beyond the foundation. All of these items also need to be accounted for when
doing an open space calculation.
Floor Type – The Zoning Code requires that accessory structures have a minimum base floor consisting of
either pressure treated lumber, asphalt flooring, sealed concrete block, or concrete slab. The structure in
question currently does not have a constructed floor. The base surface is existing pavers that were there
before the building was constructed.
Building Elevation Due to Floodplain Regulations – Chapter 14 (Floodplain) of the Municipal Code
regulates any construction within a floodplain. Per the FEMA floodplain maps and a separately adopted
Jewel Creek floodplain map, this entire property is shown within the floodfringe portion of the 100 -year
floodplain. As such, there are regulations as to the minimum floor elevation/height. The required minimum
height is based upon the size of the building, the value of the building, and the flood velocities in the area.
The required minimum floor height varies from two (2) feet below the floodplain elevation up to at or above
the floodplain elevation. If this proceeds further, these regulations will need to be looked at further. Also,
additional floodplain and/or elevation data will need to be provided on the survey if this proceeds.
Relating to the non-compliant zoning regulations noted above, the Plan Commission does not have the ability to
grant variances to these requirements. As such, each of these would need a variance from the Zoning Board of
Appeals if this were to proceed forward to be able to keep this accessory structure on the property.
Materials
The architectural code requirements state that the accessory structure should have the same or similar materials
and colors as the principal residence. The code states that the Plan Commission can grant an exception to this
requirement when one or more of the following are met:
1. The structure is screened from view.
2. The principal structure is composed of materials, colors, or styles that are inappropriate in their application
to an accessory structure.
3. The Plan Commission finds other circumstances to be present whic h would result in undue harm to the
property or its surroundings.
The unapproved accessory structure is clad with tan steel vertical siding, dark brown trim, and a tan steel roof. The
house currently is clad with tan horizontal siding (non -steel), light brown trim, and a dark brown shingled roof.
Other Notes
There are a few other items that are worth noting if the applicant receives the required approvals and/or variances
to be able to keep the accessory structure in question on the property as follows:
Since this building was built without permits the Building Inspectors have not yet reviewed any plans or the
structure itself for compliance with any applicable Building Codes. If the required approvals are granted by
the Plan Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals to be able to keep the accessory structure on this
property, the inspectors will need to review the plans and the physical structure to ensure that all Building
Code requirements are met. Depending on the outcome of their reviews and inspections, alterations to the
building may be required.
As is noted in a few locations above, there are some updates that are going to be needed to be made to
the survey if this proceeds beyond this point. In additional to the survey items noted above, the s urvey will
also need to include the current Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM), the lot size to the OHWM, the newly
proposed/altered building location (to remove it from the right-of-way), and any/all other site and structure
features that are not currently shown on the survey. It is noted on the survey submitted as part of this
request that they entire survey was not updated and the only item updated on the survey was the addition
of the new accessory structure.
The construction of the building without permits was brought to the attention of the City by a complaint
received by the Alderman of this district. That complaint was then forwarded by the Alderman to City staff
to investigate. A site inspection revealed that this new building was built and upon rev iew of the property
file and permit system, it was found that no permits had been issued for this structure. This complaint
followed the normal procedure for all Zoning related complaints/violations.
The applicant has included photos of other accessory structures and/or miscellaneous screening devices.
If they wish to make complaints on any structures that they feel violate a code requirement they are allowed
to do so on a case by case basis to their Alderman. NOTE: Plan Commission has not based their
decisions on the presence of other possible zoning violations within a surrounding neighborhood in the
past.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 003-2016
Denial of the Resolution allowing a second accessory structure and a waiver of materials for the accessory
structure citing:
~ That the unpermitted accessory structure does not meet the following Zoning Code requirements:
Setback from the right-of-way/front lot line – Currently located within the right-of-way, but
not able to meet front setback requirement even with relocation/alteration,
Accessory structure size limit – Over the total allowed size limit by 64 SF,
Building separation – May not meet the required five (5) foot building separation (revisions
to survey needed to verify),
Open space limit – Over the required amount of open space by approximately 118 SF,
Floor type – Does not contain a base/floor of either pressure treated lumber, asphalt
flooring, sealed concrete block, or concrete slab,
Building elevation due to floodplain – May not meet the minimum floor elevation (revisions
to survey and more floodplain info needed to verify),
~ While the Plan Commission has allowed additional (second, third, etc.) accessory structures in the past
in certain conditions, it has always been when all other Zoning Code requi rements have been able to be
met.
~ Relating to the materials/color waiver, this too has been granted in some circumstances on some
properties when the Plan Commission has found the proposed structure is located on large lots (typically
in rural areas), when the buildings are screened from view, and/or when there are agricultural uses present
in the property or the immediate area. There have been a few steel carport type structures that the Plan
Commission has approved in the past that contained only a steel roof with no sides. These were deemed
miscellaneous screening devices rather than a pole barn or fully enclosed accessory structure. These
misc. screening devices usually followed zoning regulations or fit in the given neighborhood (screened
from view, etc.).
~ The structure was constructed without permits of any type from the City and the owner should have been
well aware of the permit and variances processes as there have been numerous projects that have been
done on this property in the past with variances and building permits.
To sum up, the Plan Commission decision tonight is for two (2) items:
Allowance of more than one (1) accessory structure on the property
Allowance for materials on the proposed accessory structure that do not match the materials on the
principal structure on the lot
If Plan Commission approval is given for the above two (2) items, the petitioner will have to meet the zoning
regulations noted herein in some way while also getting Zoning Board of Appeals approvals for the
variances noted above in the near future.

SE ¼ of Section 8
PETITIONER: Paul Ruszkiewski
INTRODUCED: February 2, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel AICP
BACKGROUND PC 004-2016
Petitioner proposes to continue a temporary tent structure for the sale of bedding plants. The petitioner has been
located in the same location for the past thirteen years. No complaints have been received in the past.
DISCUSSION PC 004-2016
All past approvals remain the same other than the following: In the past staff required that only one temporary
outdoor event should be permitted on the shopping center grounds. Usually the Fireworks stand would begin
operation in the beginning of July. Mr. Ruszkiewski is requesting to be allowed to operate into the operation times
of the Fireworks stand. In the past, these operations are in separate locations and often overlapped anyway during
takedown/put-up times. The Piggly Wiggly owner has no issue regarding this and staff has no issue either.
Past approvals regarding this resolution showed comments that a transient m erchant license is required from the
Clerk’s Office. This license has not yet been applied for but will be required prior to any operations beginning.
The resolution is written for a new three-year approval.

REQUEST: Approval Building, Site and Operation Plan Amendment for Wisconsin Coach Lines
W189 S7847 Racine Avenue / Tax Key No. 2192.973
SE ¼ of Section 8
PETITIONER: Ron Hansen
INTRODUCED: February 2, 2016
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel AICP
BACKGROUND PC 005-2016
Petitioner proposes to utilize the Piggly Wiggly parking lot on Racine Avenue as a new quick stop for their
Milwaukee-Janesville daily bus loop.
DISCUSSION PC 005-2016
The proposal enclosed is from Wisconsin Coach Lines (WCL) which operates a daily bus route from Milwaukee to
Janesville. WCL would now like to add a Muskego stop along their daily route within the Muskego Pigg ly Wiggly
parking lot located at W189 S7847 Racine Avenue. The Muskego stop would be among seven (7) on the route that
also includes the Milwaukee Intermodel Facility, Mitchell International Airport, East Troy, Whitewater, Milton, and
Janesville.
Per the supplement attached, WCL has approval from the Piggly Wiggly owner, Jim Semrad, to utilize
approximately ten (10) parking stalls for users of the bus service. These ten stalls are found along Racine Avenue
just north of the south entrance to the Muskego Centre. The bus service would come to this Muskego location
between 9:30am -10:00am and 2:15am-2:30am daily seven (7) days a week. The daily bus would look to pull up
along the designated parking stalls, allow the patrons to board/disembark, and then carry on back out to Interstate
43 along Racine Avenue.
WCL shows that they would like to add a main sign denoting that this area is a pickup/drop-off location. The sign is
to be 12” x 18” and is proposed to be attached to the main “Muskego Centre” sign that sits at the south entrance to
the retail complex. WCL also wishes to add up to three (3) signs that are 9”x12” each that would designate the
parking stalls served for bus users. The parking stall signs are stated to be mounted on metal stakes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 005-2016
Approval of Resolution #PC 005-2016 subject to the following contingencies:
The bus should stop to allow passengers to board/disembark within the internal parking lot of
Piggly Wiggly and not along the main access thorough way.
The proposed main sign denoting that this area is a pickup/drop-off location shall not be attached
to the main “Muskego Centre” sign but may be attached to its own aluminum pole, be double sided,
and be erected in the area in front of the proposed parking stalls reserved for users.
The signs designating the parking stalls for daily bus users should be mounted on aluminum poles,
not metal stakes.
Overnight parking is not allowed and this requirement should be noted on the parking stalls signs
so it can be appropriately enforced OR the existing “No Overnight Parking” sign should be
replaced.
