Upon the petition of Erdmann Motors, for Conditional Use grant for parking of
rental vehicles at the property located at the southeast corner of North Cape
Road (C.T.H. OO), Loomis Road, (S.H. 36) and U.S.H. 45.
Present were Mayor De Angelis, Alderman Salentine, Commissioner’s Gummer,
Smith, Vitt, Schaumberg, Hulbert and Director Sadowski.
Secretary reported that the Public Hearing was properly noticed in accordance
with the Open Meetings Law.
Mayor De Angelis declared the Hearing open at 6:50 P.M., and explained the
petition.
Director Sadowski stated that petitioner is requesting to park rental vehicles on
the southeast corner of Highway 36 and 45. Staff suggests that access areas be
paved; place a yearly review on proposal and limit number of trucks parked on
paved area.
Alderman Salentine stated that Alderman Slocomb advised her that there have
been no problems or complaints with the trucks being parked in this area.
Mayor De Angelis asked the petitioner if he wished to speak on this matter. Mr.
Dale Erdmann advised that having to pave the access areas would be a
hardship for him as he does not own this area but rents this space from Mr.
Bouraxis. Mr. Erdmann also stated that due to demand the number of vehicles
on site varies. Another concern is that this site is shared by both Mr. Erdmann
and fireworks stand for a short period of time during the summer.
Mr. Erdmann would like to see a patrol officer at this corner to watch the truck
traffic. This is becoming a dangerous area due to trucks not coming to complete
stops and traffic cutting through Mr. Erdmann’s site so as not to stop at the
intersection.

the Commission with their input of concerns, questions, comments, etc.
Mrs. Margaret Wertz, of Muskego, addressed the Commission stating that she
felt Mr. Erdmann is being harassed by the City. Mrs. Wertz stated that the
property is being kept neat and that Mr. Erdmann should be allowed to continue

intersection was brought to the attention of the Commission.
