PUBLIC HEARING Public Hearing for a Conditional Use Grant in accordance with the Muskego Zoning Ordinance for the purpose of allowing a gas station use and an auto service facility use as part of the development of Fleet Farm located at Racine Avenue & College Avenue / Tax Key No. 2177.996. Steven Lange, W186 S6569 Topaz Drive, He has many questions and is concerned with the infrastructure, size of the building, whether another gas station is needed, who is paying for infrastructure and what is all behind this proposal at this location when there are other areas available within the City. Questions what kind of studies are being done, what the timetable is. Muskego prides itself on being a rural community and this development will be taking that away. He would also like to know when residents going to be informed of all of this and what if someone has an objection, what can they do. Jim Nichols, S78 W20506 Monterey Drive, thinks this is a great idea. Per the map there is not a ton of land for a ton of development. He is more concerned with the quarry due to the damage to the road and the rocks and stones on the road especially when riding a motorcycle it can be very hazardous. What is the land going to be used for conversely if not used as a Fleet Farm? This will be a great benefit to the City as the City doesn't have any big box stores. Tommy Conley W 186 S6401 Topaz Drive, His question deals with the traffic on College and Racine Avenue. Trying to turn across Racine onto College and College onto Racine is tough enough now and then adding a big box store with a gas station will make this more difficult with the added traffic. Are there road plans for this development? There is a lot of traffic now and will get worse with the new development. There is another development between College and Martin and should something be done before there are accidents. His questions and concerns are with the infrastructure and whether it is part of the project or not part of the project. Just more concerned with the planning of the project and infrastructure.

OLD BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION RESOLUTION PC 056-2021 Approval of an Annual Review for Frey Auto located at S106 W16301 Loomis Road / Tax Key No. 2293.996.002. No Discussion / Action NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION RESOLUTION PC 025-2022 Approval of a Conditional Use Grant for Fleet Farm located at College Avenue & Racine Avenue / Tax Key No. 2177.996. Common Council President Kubacki wanted to clarify that this is a singular development. There are no plans for development in the area. He understands the concern with the trucks from the quarry. Both Racine and College Avenue are both County Highways and they are working with the County for access and they will determine if any improvements are needed including lanes, lights, markings, etc. Planner Trzebiatowski provided an overview of the Fleet Farm and purpose of the Conditional Use Grant Public Hearing. As for the infrastructure there is no City funding going into any infrastructure and the developer found this location on their own. The existing Zoning that is there already allows this use by right. The only reason this hearing is occurring is specifically for the gas station use and the auto repair use that require a Conditional Use. The store itself was approved at the last meeting. The notice went out this month to follow statutory requirements for conditional uses. Regarding the infrastructure, the sewer will be connected to the municipal system but the water pressure couldn't be met by the current City system so they will be on a private well. Regarding the roads, both roads are under County jurisdiction and the County is reviewing a Traffic Impact Analysis. As for the timetable, it is anticipated that Fleet Farm will be starting as soon as possible. This property has always been planned for a business use. For the stormwater, the new development will need to meet all MMSD, DNR and City requirements for storm water which also includes catchment systems for the gas station use. Commissioner Bartlett shares the concerns with residents regarding the traffic at the intersection, but as Adam said is that the County regulates this. The County is tough on development and they are accessible to anyone. Commissioner Oliver asked about the size of the store. Planner Trzebiatowski explained that this store is approx. 137,000 square feet that is smaller than the previous stores. As mentioned last month Fleet Farm is moving towards smaller stores with centralized distribution. A member of the public asked if the plans are available for viewing. Planner Trzebiatowski said that everything is available through the City's website. You just need to look at the Plan Commission agendas and everything that is on the screens during the meeting is available. Otherwise, the plans area available in the office anytime. Alderman Madden made a motion to approve Resolution PC 025-2022. Commissioner Bartlett seconded. Motion to approve passed unanimously. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS None ADJOURNMENT Alderman Madden made a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Oliver seconded. Motion to adjourn passed unanimously. Respectfully Submitted, Aaron Fahl, AICP Planner
