PUBLIC HEARING
The Public Hearing notice was read to consider the petition of Curt Klenz, on behalf of
Carl Wauer, to rezone property on Janesville Road (known as part of Tax Key Number
2229.989) from M-3 - Landfill & Extractive District to M-2 - General Industrial District and
to grant a 2020 Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Landfill and Extractive to
Industrial for the purpose of a future land division and construction of an auto repair
facility.
Mayor Johnson stated that the current zoning, M-3, only allows land and extractive
uses. The proposed zoning of M-2 is less intensive. The rezoning is proposed so the
existing BP Gas Station and Auto Repair Shop can relocate to the site. The business is
currently located on the southwest corner of Janesville Road and Lannon Drive. Only
the operation of the repair shop would be moved to the new location. The business is
proposing to move to the new site because of the Janesville Road reconstruction
project. The Mayor noted that the Plan Commission would have to approve the
Building, Site and Operation Plan in the future. Several Council members were pleased
that this business would remain in Muskego. No one requested to be heard. The
Mayor closed the hearing at 8:26 p.m.
