2198.001). Commissioner Schaumberg made a motion to approve. Commissioner Gummer
seconded. Petitioner proposing to add 1,157 square feet to the rear of the existing tavern. In
addition, petitioner requesting to install a fuel pump for motor boats. Approval for the fuel
pump was granted in June, 1961, through a conditional use. Petitioner proposing 42 additional
parking spaces for a total of 62 stalls. There is potential for 11 parking spaces on the east end
of property. Staff recommendations are: existing gravel parking area on west side of Lannon
Drive be removed and seeded with grass; not to allow boat refueling from land, and restrict
refueling hours. Petitioner did not submit landscaping plan or lighting plan. Discussion ensued
wherein the zoning district needs to be clarified as to whether the existing tavern is RS-2/OLR
or RS-2/OLS. Consensus of the Plan Commission was to eliminate the parking stalls located
in the front of the building on Lannon Drive and replace this area with landscaping. The
submitted parking layout needs to be reworked and provide adequate screening.

Commissioner Gummer made a motion to defer this item allowing petitioner opportunity to
resubmit revised plans. Engineer Zoppa seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 20-

RESOLUTION #P.C. 21-99 -- Approval of an Amended Landscape Plan for the
Muskego Movie Plex at the property located at S67 W19491 Tans Drive. (Tax Key No.
2180.994.001). Alderman Salentine made a motion to approve. Commissioner Hulbert
seconded. The DNR has imposed contingencies on the Movie Plex property that no trees or
deep rooted plants be planted within the estimated boundary of the disposal area. Staff
recommends that the variety of trees being proposed should be removed and planted north of
the building and parking lot. A neighbor living on Hillendale has requested that there be
additional plantings along Tans Drive entrance to provide headlight screening. Petitioner’s
representative, Frank Richardson, addressed Commission that he has no objection to
relocating some of the trees to the north, however feels that relocating all of the trees would be
quite costly to petitioner. Mr. Richardson suggested the Pfitzer Junipers due to the shallow
root system and ability to spread and become a fairly wide plant. Alderman Salentine made a
motion to amend resolution to read, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That displaced trees will
be planted to the north and east up to 50% of lost plants and landscape islands will be
planted with a variety of species, all subject to DNR and City Staff approval.
Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 21-99 was Amended

duplex for Talon Builders at the property located at Lot 16 in Park Estates Subdivision (Tax
Key No. 2229.054). Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to approve. Commissioner
Schaumberg seconded. Petitioner proposing to construct a duplex. The property is currently
zoned RS-1/OPD and the proposed duplex meets code requirements for this district. The
structure will incorporate vinyl and cedar siding, with brick wainscoting on the north and south
elevations. One garage will open directly onto the street and other garage will be side-loaded.
There is only one drive entrance. Sandy from Talon Builders, petitioner, addressed
Commission asking for clarification on the amount of brick requested. Due to the cost factor to
the homeowner, Sandy is requesting to reduce the quantity of brick on front and side
elevations. Discussion ensued wherein the Commission measures each two family residence
on an individual basis, however, staying consistent with the requirements that are requested.
Commissioner Smith made a motion to amend resolution to read, THEREFORE BE IT
FURTHER RESOLVED, That brick wainscoting will be installed along front porch and side
elevations. The garage front and sides will have full brick as depicted on the plans
