to be submitted, along with Deed Restriction limiting future land divisions. Mr. Bryon Hrin
stated to the Commission that he requests deferral to address the staff comments along
with all concerns heard from the Public Hearing. Consensus from the Commission is that
this proposal would be utilized for more than personal storage and would instead, be used
for business operation. Mr. Wayne Salentine asked Commission for direction on storing of
personal vehicles under the current zoning provisions. Commissioner Brodel feels that
this proposal would preserve farm land with little detriment to surrounding area.
Commissioner Brodel made a motion to defer this item allowing petitioner an opportunity to

RESOLUTION #P.C. 84-2000 – Determination of Use : Classification of Community
Based Residential Facilities in residential and business zoning districts. Made a motion to
approve. Seconded. Petitioner proposing to construct a sixteen bed Community Based
Residential Facility housing elderly persons with moderate assistance. Wisconsin Statutes
require facilities be permitted in residential areas. The Zoning Code does not identify
these facilities are permitted by right, or by conditional use grant. The Code indicates that
questions relating to classification of use be submitted to Plan Commission for
determination. Two issues to be addressed are: which districts are CBRF’s permitted in;
and are they permitted by right or by conditional use. Staff recommends number of
residents be tied to lot size. One resident for every 5,000 square feet of lot size.
Therefore, in RS-3 district a facility could accommodate four residents while in R-1, a
facility could accommodate sixteen residents. Staff recommends Conditional Use Grants
be required for all CBRF applications. After discussion, Commission members felt that
legal opinion would be necessary regarding the specifics listed in the resolution.
Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to defer. Commissioner Schaumberg seconded.
Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 84-2000 was Deferred unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 85-2000 – Recommendation of approval of rezoning from A,
Agricultural, to A/OIP, Agricultural with the Institutional and Public Service Overlay District
for the Addis property, located in the SW ¼ of Section 34 (Tax Key No. 2295.996 / Loomis
Road). Commissioner Schaumberg made a motion to approve. Commissioner Hulbert
seconded. Petitioner received conceptual rezoning from Plan Commission for this site.
The request is consistent with Conditional Use Grant approved by Resolution #P.C. 51-
2000 to accommodate proposed wireless communications facility. A Public Hearing for this
rezoning has been scheduled before the Common Council on April 25, 2000. Upon a roll
call vote, Resolution #P.C. 85-2000 was Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 86-2000 – Approval of a three lot sketch Certified Survey Map for
the Krause property located in the NE ¼ of Section 25 (Tax Key No. 2257.993.002 / W125
S9603 North Cape Road). Commissioner Smith made a motion to approve. Commissioner
Brodel seconded. Petitioner proposing to subdivide property into three parcels. All
parcels meet district code requirements. Petitioner required to dedicate 50 feet which will
be measured from centerline. All three parcels will share one driveway. County DOT will

RESOLUTION #P.C. 87-2000 – Approval of a two lot sketch Certified Survey Map for
the Brzezinski property located in the SW ¼ of Section 17 (Tax Key No. 2227.998.014 /
W200 S8443 Woods Road). Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to approve.
Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. Petitioner previously proposed similar land division.
Plan Commission denied request due to irregular configuration. Mr. Brezezinski proposed
three separate lot configurations with his submittal.
Option 1: Creates two regularly shaped parcels with a minimum size of 1.78 acres.
However, Parcel 1 does not have direct street frontage and is served by a 55’ wide cross-
access and utility easement. Parcel 2 would have 140’ of frontage along Woods Road.
Option 2: Creates two irregularly shaped parcels with a minimum size of 1.4 acres. Parcel
1 does have direct street frontage and is served by a 30’ wide flag. The Land Division
Ordinance requires all created lots to have an 80’ width at the base setback line
\[CH.18.42(9)\] Parcel 2 would have 110’ of frontage along Woods Road and a 5:1 width-to-
depth ratio.
Option 3: Creates two irregularly shaped parcels with a minimum size of 1.4 acres. Parcel
1 does have direct street frontage and is served by a 30’ wide flag. The Land Division
Ordinance requires all created lots to have an 80’ width at the base setback line
\[CH.18.42(9)\]
Parcel 2 would have 110’ of frontage along Woods Road. However, a 30’ road reservation
exists along the north property line. This does align with a 30’ wide flag on the abutting
parcel, but will potentially reduce the Parcel 2 lot width to 80’. In addition, a future
residence could not be constructed to meet the minimum setback from a public ROW. A
minimum 100’ lot depth is required by Ordinance. A 25’ utility easement is also illustrated
along the south property line.
Both parcels meet minimum requirements for the zoning districts. However, the Land
Division Ordinance requires minimum lot width of 80 feet at base setback line and said
properties do not meet this requirement. Both parcels will have access to Woods Road.
Attorney Schober, petitioner’s representative, addressed the Commission and submitted
Option 4 for consideration. Option 4 illustrates on the south end of the parcel, existing
drive to be abandoned and relocated to 30’ road reservation easement. Existing laterals to
be abandoned when road is developed. Also depicted is temporary easement for access
and utilities. On the North end of the property is a 30’ road reservation, access and utility
easement. Attorney Schober stated that petitioner is not creating a flag lot, but creating a
new lot. Lengthy discussion ensued wherein similar Certified Survey Maps had been
approved in the past, prior to approval of the updated Land Division Ordinance.
Commissioner Schaumberg made a motion to amend resolution to accept Option 4.
Motion died for lack of second. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 87-2000 was
Denied with a 6-1 vote. Commissioner Schaumberg voting Yes.
