the Sprysl property located at W186 S6820 Jewel Crest Drive. This resolution was read by title

restriction be placed on building new residence and that the accessory structure be relocated
to conform to district requirements. Alderman Salentine made a motion to amend resolution to
read, THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the garage shall remain as an

RESOLUTION #P.C. 165-98 -- Approval to amend 100 year flood plain and alter
wetland boundaries for the Ryback property located in the SE ¼ of Section 17. Commissioner
Gummer made a motion to approve. Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. Petitioner, Mr.
Meyer, proposes to purchase property and amend the floodplain map and alter wetland
delineation. Approvals are needed by Army Corps of Engineers, DNR, City Plan Commission
and Common Council. Mr. Meyer has met with DNR and submitted a revised proposal,
however there still is a large amount of filling in wetland area. Staff concerns are that this
approval sets a precedence. This proposal requests to fill areas not needed to accommodate
home and proposed pole building. City would need document from current owner consenting
to this request. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to defer this item allowing petitioner to
look at alternatives for the location of the home in the 100 year floodplain and out of the
wetlands. Commissioner Gummer seconded. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 165-98
was Deferred unanimously.

RESOLUTION #P.C. 167-98 – Approval of amending the face of subdivision plat note
prohibiting drive way access on Adrian Drive of the Lakeview Highlands North Subdivision for
Don Drew. (W198 S6852 Adrian Drive) Alderman Salentine made a motion to approve.
Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. Petitioner proposing to maintain current driveway that
will access Adrian Drive. This proposed driveway would access drive along the sanitary sewer
easement. The recorded subdivision plat has a note restricting direct access of this lot onto
Adrian Drive. The note was placed on plat as a recommendation by Plan Commission to
Common Council prior to plat approval. Mr. Drew approached the Commission stating that
safety for his children was the major reason for this request. A driveway off Black Walnut Court
would consist of numerous direction changes culminating in a hairpin turn into the garage
which would also create a blind spot. Another reason for this request is financial, there being a
greater cost if the driveway is off Black Walnut Court. Petitioner also pointed out that lot #23

Schaumberg removed herself from Commission because of potential conflict of interest.
Discussion ensued wherein a detailed and updated map needs to be submitted with location of
all outbuildings, estimated square footages, location of both residences; sanitary sewer
systems; water wells servicing each residence and driveway access. Too many outbuildings
are located on property. Property is currently under noncompliance. If divided, both properties
need to be brought into compliance with Zoning District requirements. Suggestions were given
on dividing the parcel to be in compliance however, Mr. Loebel stated he wished to have the
two barns remain on one parcel for income purposes. Petitioner also stated that he has done
a great deal of updating to the buildings and does not want to remove structures from the
parcel. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to defer allowing petitioner time to reconsider
the compliance issue of outbuildings and review alternative lot configurations. Commissioner
Gummer seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 171-98 was Deferred unanimously.
