RESOLUTION #P.C. 241-97 –Approval of a directional/operational sign for Muskego
Volunteer Fire Company at the property located at S76 W17858 Janesville Road. Alderman
Salentine made a motion to approve. Commissioner Vitt seconded. The original proposal was
to place the sign in the right-of-way of Janesville Road. Staff suggests that location should be
on east side of east drive, out of the right-of-way. Petitioner, Mr. Mike Keirsky, stated that the
public does not understand which entrance to use and this would enable people to use the
correct entrance. Mr. Spitzner’s representative, Ms. Jeanette Heckert, expressed that the
traffic pulling in and backing out of drive will be a problem. Mr. Spitzner did not object to staff’s
location recommendation but has a concern with the size of the sign. Commissioner Hulbert
made a motion to amend resolution to read, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the sign will
be placed on the property line in right-of-way at east side of entrance and north of bike
trail. This location will be temporary and reviewed at the first Plan Commission Meeting
