(Tax Key No. 2167.995 and 2172.999). This resolution was brought back to the floor for discussion. Petitioner provided amended plans to Staff on January 13, 2000. The photometrics submitted are in conformance with City requirements. Plan Director Turk gave a history of what has been proposed and approved for this project. Outstanding issues are whether or not the architecture submitted is within Plan Commission’s expectations and if outdoor sales will be allowed. Attorney John Finerty, petitioner’s representative, stated that detail has been added to the submitted plans for the betterment of the project. Attorney Finerty introduced several people to present brief presentations on this proposal. Mr. Peter Theodore, Camburas & Theodore Ltd., described the height and length of all berms along with pointing out the various landscaping contained in the parking area. Mr. Theodore stated that the front of the building contains 85% (measured by linear square footage) of glass with tower elevations for the main food and drug store and the small shops. Mr. David Hene, American Store Properties, explained that this will be a state-of-the-art food and drug store. The food store will employ both full and part-time people for a total of two hundred employees. The drug store will have a drive-thru pharmacy for community PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES, Continued January 18, 2000 convenience. Mr. Hene stated that Jewel-Osco has a strong commitment to the community it serves. Mr. Bill Grieve, Senior Engineer for Gewalt Hamilton Associates, gave a presentation on the traffic study conducted and also described the additional turning lanes for Moorland Road and Janesville Road. The west driveway will have a separate right in and right out with a barrier to prohibit left turns onto to Janesville Road. The proposed traffic signal at the east driveway will interconnect with the traffic signals at the intersection of Moorland and Janesville Roads. A north bound turn lane is proposed on Moorland Road to minimize traffic impact. Lengthy discussion ensued wherein the Commission suggested that four sided architecture with residential themes should be conducted throughout the entire building. Another issue of concern is the screening of loading docks. The submitted plan is different than the approved concept plans. Discussion ensued wherein the Plan Commission expressed a dislike of white-faced illuminated signage. Mr. Theodore stated that red-faced signage could be acceptable. Mr. David Hene reported that the seasonal outdoor sales would consist of a 900 square foot area on west side of property. The sales would be conducted from April 1 to June 30 selling potted plants, topsoil, peat, etc. This function will be conducted by Jewel-Osco having no outside vendors. At this time the request for permanent outdoor sales and storage was withdrawn from proposal. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to defer this item allowing petitioner time to resubmit drawings showing four sided architecture with residential themes and reconfiguration of the loading docks.

Alderman Salentine made a motion to approve. Commissioner Gummer seconded. While researching prior Champions Village zoning approvals, the Planning Staff discovered that the underlying zoning of R-2 was not changed in the first two phases of this development. Section 6.02(5)(c)(4) of the Zoning Code indicates that the allowable density is to be calculated separately for each underlying district. The OPD zoning is an overlay allowing for flexibility to lot configurations only within the parameters of Section 6.02(5) of Zoning Code which regulates Planned Development Districts. Existing lots in Champions Village conform to the zoning requirements for an RS-3 / OPD zoning district. All property owners have been notified that this is a technical correction for City maps and will not change their property rights, rather will preserve them.

Alderman Salentine made a motion to approve. Commissioner Gummer seconded. The City Attorney has recommended that Muskego’s ordinances pertaining to Adult Uses be updated to reflect current legal decisions. The proposed amendment repeals the provisions of the zoning ordinance which requires Conditional Use Grant. Instead, the proposed amendment permits the Adult Oriented Establishment by right, where Common Council has granted a license. Staff recommends establishments are permitted by right in the I-1, Industrial Park District and I-2, General Industrial District. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 21-2000 was Adopted unanimously.
