PUBLIC HEARINGS
The Deputy Clerk read the petition of PJ's Trucking LLC to rezone Tax Key No.
2257.979/Loomis Road (STH 36) and North Cape from B-4 - Highway Business
District to M-1 - Light Industrial District for the purpose of allowing possible future
storage of trucks/trailers and material storage on the property. The 2020
Comprehensive Plan also needs to be amended from Commercial use to Industrial
use.
Planner Trzebiatowski stated the petitioner is requesting the rezoning to be allowed to
use the property for a new location to expand his trucking business. The rezoning is
contingent on the approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan.
The following spoke against the rezoning:
Steve Grande, S97 W13656 Stonebridge Way
Sandra Jakob, S97 W12999 Champions Drive
Joe Roubik, S97 W12961 Champions Drive

Michael Alex, S98 W12712 Loomis Drive
Wayne Jensen, S97 W13126 Champions Drive
The following concerns were expressed:
Industrial use does not belong in residential area
Not neighborhood friendly
Access to and from the property
Noise
Traffic – accidents already occur in the area
Adding another problem to the intersection
The rezoning will be difficult to change in the future. The current business may
be run well but what about the next person.
The following spoke in favor of the rezoning:
Frank Perugini, W125 S9808 North Cape Road, stated he operates a business across
the street from the subject property. Mr. Perugini expressed his supports for the
rezoning and the development of the property. PJ’s Trucking has been in business for
20 plus years. There have been no problems. He believes the expansion of the
existing trucking business on this site is a better use than a strip mall.
The owner of PJ’s Trucking, Patrick Theys, spoke. He stated he has owned the
trucking company for 40 years. He runs a clean operation and values his neighbors. If
there is a problem, he will address it.
The Mayor declared the hearing closed at 6:26 p.m.
The Deputy Clerk read the petition of Mike Erickson of All Star Rentals LLC to rezone
part of Tax Key No. 2295.999.010 from A-1 - Agricultural District to B-4 - Highway
Business District for the purpose of allowing a future land division and future
commercial uses.
Planner Trzebiatowski stated the petitioner was granted a rezoning in 2018. That
rezoning never took effect. Mr. Erickson is now requesting to rezone a larger area,
which comprises the northeastern 13.5 acres located on the south side of Muskego
Dam Drive. Tax Key No. 2295.999.010 is also part of the next public hearing.
No one requested to speak so the Mayor closed the public hearing at 6:28 p.m.
The Deputy Clerk read the petition of Bryon Hrin to rezone part of Tax Key No.
2295.999.010 and all of Tax Key No. 2295.996.005 from A-1 - Agricultural District to B-
4 - Highway Business District for the purpose of allowing a future land division and
future commercial uses.
Planner Trzebiatowski stated the rezoning petition involves the same tax key number
as in the previous public hearing (Tax Key No. 2295.999.010). The petitioner is

requesting to rezone the western portion of that property and all of the western
adjoining lot. The total land to be rezoned comprises approximately 28.6 acres. The
rezoning would allow the property to be divided into a commercial lot for a possible
new mini-storage facility. A Conditional Use Grant may be required in the future if the
rezoning is approved. The rezoning is contingent upon approval of a Building, Site and
Operation Plan by the Plan Commission.
Dave Addis stated he and his father own the adjoining property. They are interested in
rezoning their property to commercial.
The Mayor declared the hearing closed at 6:31 p.m.
