This resolution was deferred from previous meeting pending the receipt of a traffic study. Plan Director
noted that the Plan Commission is required to review this project both for traffic impacts and for the
nuisance impacts it may have. He shared with the Plan Commission members Ruekert & Mielke’s traffic
study and also comments from Mr. Schildt on the traffic study. He advised the Plan Commission members
of the section of the zoning code regarding gasoline service stations. He reported that the public hearing
was well attended and the residents in the neighborhood are opposed to the development.
An amended resolution, with additions and deletions, was presented to the Plan Commission for
consideration. Plan Director Turk was recommending approval of this resolution. The third WHEREAS
was added and indicates the 1,500 foot separation rule required by the code and that the traffic study has
been received. The eighth and sixteenth WHEREAS have a change from T-111 plywood to board and
batten. The wording “and without its construction materials indicated” has been struck from the eleventh
WHEREAS. The seventeenth WHEREAS was struck completely from the resolution. In the first BE IT

FURTHER RESOLVED has been added indicating required permissions from the Waukesha County
Department of Transportation. Clarification “except for the ground sign approved herein, and the Open

motion carried unanimously. Commissioner Gummer expressed his concern about the number of vehicle
trips reported in the traffic study. Commissioner Hulbert recognized the homeowners being impacted by
the proposed development and these issues should be explored. The commissioners would like a traffic
engineer present at the next meeting to answer questions on the traffic report. Ald. Salentine moved to
defer action on Amended Resolution #P.C. 112a-99 until the next meeting, requesting that a traffic
engineer be present to answer their questions. Commissioner Gummer seconded. Upon a voice vote, the
motion carried unanimously.

by title only.
Plan Director Turk recommended the resolution be deferred until the next meeting as the required revisions
were not received as required of the October 5, 1999 Plan Commission deferral. He reported that 1% of
the required revisions still needed to be made. Commission Hulbert brought up the issue of the
design/connection of the pedestrian path. Commissioner Hulbert moved to defer action on Resolution

carried unanimously.

property, located in the SW ¼ of Section 1 (Tax Key No. 2163.999.008 / Tess Corners Drive) This
resolution read by title only.
This resolution was deferred from the last meeting pending further review of the existence of the 10% lot
variance provision for land divisions. Plan Director Turk recommended denial of the petition at this time.
The petitioner could reintroduce it if they go through the steps to have the Hale Park Owners Association
covenants and restrictions changed prior to requesting a zoning change. Commissioners discussed the
desirability of a 10% lot variance provision in the code and possibly amending the code. Ald. Salentine
moved to amend, Commissioner Smith seconded, Resolution #P.C. 127-99, “BE IT RESOLVED that the
Plan Commission denies the two lot sketch land division without prejudice”. The petitioner would have an
opportunity to petition again in the future. No further discussion. Upon a roll call vote, the motion to amend

NEW BUSINESS
RESOLUTION #P.C. 132-99 - Recommendation of Approval of a Building Site and Operations
Plan for Phase 1 of the “Dreamland” OPD Planned Development District, for Jewel / Osco - American
Stores Properties, Inc., by Dreamland Investors LLC, located in the SW ¼ of Section 2 and the SE ¼ of
Section 3 (Tax Key No. 2167.995 and 2172.999). This resolution read by title only.
Commissioner Schaumberg moved for approval, Commissioner Gummer seconded. Plan Director Turk
gave the commissioners a historical update on the property located on the northeast corner of Moorland
and Janesville Roads and zoning applicable to the area and the provision of Resolution #130-98. Due to
the lack of construction plan submittals, Director Brian Turk recommended the Plan Commission defer
action. The concerns are that a land division is being proposed by plat of survey where the code requires
a certified survey map be submitted; to date there have been no grading plans for the site although there is
a site topography map; there are some existing woodlands on the site that must be preserved and certified
survey map would provide the mechanism for that to occur by easement; also, a certified survey map
would take care of vision corners, cross, access, easement standards, etc. In regard to the site plan
submitted, suggested that a traffic study be prepared and presented to the Plan Commission so they can
evaluate the turning motions on and off site. Phase I depicts only one access on Janesville Road; he
would recommend an additional access to Moorland Road. Other issues pointed out related to the on-site
traffic movements, impervious surface area, storm water retention, and snow storage. Although the
building structure proposed meets all setback,offset, and height requirements for the B-3 zoning district, it
lacked conformance to the Muskego Design Manual. Further issues concerning the development were the
amount and location of landscaping amenities, site lighting, hours of operation, outside sales/storage,
erosion control, sanitary sewer, on-site storm water management and water mains. He noted that these
are substantial components of the approval by the Plan Commission and the Common Council in one
aspect or another. Commissioner Hulbert had some concerns regarding the zoning of the property. Plan
Director explained the resolution of intent in place at this time (PC#53-98) on zoning the 19 acres for
business and the remainder of the property RSM. Mayor De Angelis shared with the Commissioners the
procedure of rezoning segments so that control is retained over the business park. Commissioners
requested that copy of the PC#53-98 be provided for their reference. Commissioner Hulbert moved to
defer action on Resolution #P.C. 132-99. Commissioner Smith seconded. No further discussion. Upon a
voice vote, the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 133-99 --Approval of a Two (2) Lot Certified Survey Map for the Marek
property located in the NW ¼ of Section 13 (Tax Key No. 2209.943 / Hi View Drive) This resolution read by
the acting recording secretary.
Commissioner Gummer moved to approve Resolution #P.C. #133-99. Ald. Salentine seconded. Plan
Director Turk reported that the engineer’s comments were received and forwarded on to the petitioner for
revisions. He expects the revisions to be completed prior to Common Council action as they are technical
in nature. No further discussion. Upon a roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 134-99 – Approval of a Two (2) Lot Certified Survey Map for the Malinowski
property in the NE ¼ of Section 11 (Tax Key No. 2201.990.001 / Woods Road) This resolution read by the
acting recording secretary.
Minutes, Plan Commission, Tuesday, November 2, 1999 page 4
Ald. Salentine moved to approve Resolution #P.C. #134-99. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Plan
Director Brian Turk informed the Commission that the proposal has not been before them in sketch form.
After meeting with the petitioner, it was felt that the petitioner could submit the certified survey map. There
were two parcels and at some point in the past, they were combined for tax purposes, but they are still two
separate platted lots. Both properties meet the requirements for land division. It was noted that the
petitioner could do the land division by simple deed filed at the Court House without Plan Commission
approval. He continued, that the engineer’s technical comments have been received and forwarded on to
the petitioner for correction. Corrections are expected to be made prior to Common Council application. At
this time, the petitioner advised the Plan Commission members that he had received a letter from his
mortgage company, indicating the steps/procedures to take to satisfy their requirements. He provided a
copy of the letter to the Commission. Plan Director Turk informed him that he would also need to provide a
letter granting a time extension until such time the mortgage company’s requirements are met; otherwise,
Wisconsin law requires that the document be signed and recorded within 30 days of Council approval and
Council has only 60 days from the submittal date to review it. Mayor De Angelis, in review of the certified
survey map, queried his intention regarding the driveway that encroaches into existing parcel #2. The
petitioner responded that he plans, at this time, to put a drive easement on it as the driveway will be shared
with his parents who are building next door and for a convenience of taking care of both properties. Mayor
De Angelis requested a condition be made that the driveway easement be placed on the certified survey
map so that it’s shown when he applies for his building permit. Then, at a future time, he would be able to
vacate it. Ald. Salentine moved to amend Resolution #P.C.134-99 to require the driveway easement.
Commissioner Hulbert seconded. No further discussion. Upon a voice vote, the motion carried
unanimously. There being no further discussion on the motion to approve Resolution #P.C.134-99 as
amended, upon a roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
