MINUTES:
Alderman Salentine made a motion to approve the minutes of the December 1, 1998 meeting.

OLD BUSINESS:
RESOLUTION #P.C. 168-98 -- Approval of a Conceptual Preliminary Plat for the
Rosewood Estates Subdivision by Glen Miller, located in the NE and NW ¼’s of Section 11.
(Tax Key No. 2202.994). This resolution was brought back to the floor for discussion.
Petitioner has submitted a revised concept showing wetland delineation. New concept shows
twenty (20) lots with two large outlots and one small outlot. The unnumbered outlot is
designated to contain storm detention area and open space dedicated to the City of Muskego.
Outlot #2 may not be developed until lands to the west of project are developed. Discussion
ensued regarding the intersection of Rosewood Drive and Durham. Petitioner has option of
creating intersection to line up as close as possible with Hidden Creek Court or end Rosewood
Drive in a cul-de-sac. Either option has concerns. One seems to create a congested area on
Durham Drive. The other option creates a cul-de-sac that exceeds ordinance limits.
Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to defer this item allowing petitioner time to decide the
best way to redesign roadway. Commissioner Smith seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution
#P.C. 168-98 was Deferred unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 186-98 – Approval of a conceptual site and operation plan for an
Extractive Permit for Superior Emerald Park Landfill for the property located at W124 S10629
124 Street. This resolution was brought back to the floor for discussion. This resolution was
deferred at the last Plan Commission meeting pending outcome of Emerald Park Citing
Committee meeting. The Citing Committee meeting has been rescheduled for Thursday,

accel/decel lanes are being required. Commissioner Smith made a motion to defer.
Commissioner Gummer seconded. Upon a voice roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 186-98 was
Deferred unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 190-98 – Approval of a Conditional Use for an extractive permit
th
for Superior Emerald Park Landfills, Inc., property located at W124 S10629 124 Street. This
resolution was brought back to the floor for discussion. The same reasons and discussion
apply to this resolution that were made for the previous (#P.C. 186-98) resolution.
Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to defer. Alderman Salentine seconded. Upon a voice
roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 190-98 was Deferred unanimously.
CONSENT BUSINESS:
RESOLUTION #P.C. 200-98 – Approval of two (2) 10’ x 12’ Accessory Structures for
the Larry & Linda Domnick at the property located at W152 S7917 Mystic Drive. This
resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Gummer made a motion to approve.
Commissioner Smith seconded. Petitioner proposing to construct two (2) 10 x 12 (120 square
feet each) buildings rather than one 240 square foot building due to code enforcement
requiring a concrete floor, which would make project too expensive. Building Code states that
the smaller buildings are not required to have a concrete floor. Property has a mound system
and requires County approval prior to issuance of building permit. Upon site inspections by
Staff, most neighboring properties have one accessory building per property. Upon a roll call
vote, Resolution #P.C. 201-98 Fails with a 3-3 vote. Mayor De Angelis, Engineer Zoppa and
Alderman Salentine voting Yes. Commissioner’s Gummer, Smith and Hulbert voting No.
NEW BUSINESS:
RESOLUTION #P.C. 201-98 – Approval of a conceptual amendment to a Building, Site
and Operation Plan for the Leisure Park property located at W182 S8200 Racine Avenue
(north end of City Hall parking lot property) (Tax Key No. 2221.993). Commissioner Hulbert
made a motion to approve. Alderman Salentine seconded. The Park Board and Lions Club
have developed a plan which includes skating rink, playground area, food court, pavilion,
arched entry way, and boardwalk along with additional tree plantings and path system
connecting to Muskego Settlement area. The Park and Recreation Board met on Monday,
November 9, 1998 and discussed the conceptual plans presented by Terra Firma
representatives. Suggestions from the Park and Recreation Board were to redesign the
boardwalk/path and skating rink options. Commissioner Hulbert, member of the Park and
Recreation Board, requested that the minutes from the Park Board meeting be attached to this
resolution for future clarification. Mr. Hulbert also stated that the word “People’s” be removed
from the name of the park and wished to stress that these plans are conceptual; they may
change as each phase of the project is implemented. However, this will give the Festival
Committee some direction for future development of this area. Upon a roll call vote,
Resolution #P.C. 201-98 was Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 202-98 – Approval of a three (3) lot sketch land division for State
Financial Bank by Jack Spoerl for the property located in the SE ¼ of Section 9. (Tax Key No.
2196.966). Alderman Salentine made a motion to approve. Commissioner Hulbert seconded.
Petitioner requesting to create three separate parcels from one existing parcel which has been
12-15-98 PC Minutes Page 3
made up from a conglomeration of a number of platted and non-platted parcels. The newly
created parcels would result in conforming parcels. Parcels 1 and 2 are zoned B-3 and parcel
3 is zoned RS-3/OPD. Staff has concern with required right-of-way dedication along Janesville
Road. Approval will be needed from Waukesha County Park and Planning or DOT that this is
acceptable. Also needed will be verification that parcel transfer and right-of-way vacation have
been accomplished. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 202-98 was Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 203-98 – Approval of amendment to a Building, Site and
Operation Plan for the Findley property located at W186 S9159 Racine Avenue (Tax Key No.
2243.997). Alderman Salentine made a motion to approve. Commissioner Smith seconded.
Petitioner requesting to amend past approvals stating that the proposed lean-to (9’ x 45’) is
smaller than the original request which was 14’ x 15’. Petitioner also states that the
calculations for their lot are 181,082 square feet which would permit 1,811 square feet of
outbuilding rather than 1,786 square feet. The new lot size calculation would propose that
additional 1,031 square feet would be available for outbuildings rather than the previously
reported 1,006 square feet. Mr. Findley’s hardship is health reasons for their horses. The
animals need an outside sheltered area. Petitioner submitted two supporting letters from
veterinarians. Mr. Findley also stated that he feels this request is similar to having an awning
or canopy placed on residence. Staff concerns are: no surveyor’s verification of lot size has
been submitted. A new survey should be required before approval is given. Should new
survey verify the petitioner’s calculations, a variance for additional 405 square feet would still
be required. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 203-98 was Defeated with a 4-2 vote,
citing that modifications could be made within the existing building’s square footage that could
accommodate the petitioner’s needs. Mayor De Angelis, Commissioner’s Gummer, Smith and
Hulbert voting No. Alderman Salentine and Engineer Zoppa voting Yes.
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS:
Tutor Oaks property – changes in submitted Building, Site and Operation Plan. The
plans submitted have the floor area increased from 8,400 square feet to 9,663 square feet.
Single occupancy rooms have increased from 10 to 14 and building elevations are revised to
provide different alternating application of brick and stucco. Petitioner’s representative
addressed the Commission stating that there has been no change in the overall number of
occupants. Staff suggests that the changes proposed are non-substantial in relation to what
was approved. After discussion, consensus of the Plan Commission was that the changes
were not substantial and that permits could be released.
ADJOURNMENT:
Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to adjourn at 8:50 P.M. Engineer Zoppa seconded.
Upon a voice vote, motion carried. With no further business to come before the Commission,
the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
