RESOLUTION #PC 068-2003 – Recommendation to Common Council to rezone the Schmitt
property from A, Agriculture District to R-3, Country Home District, located in the SE ¼ of
Section 18 (Tax Key No. 2232.980, 2232.981 / Hillendale Drive). This resolution was read by
title only. Commissioner Schaumberg made a motion to approve. Alderman Madden
seconded. Plan Director Turk stated that petitioner appeared before Plan Commission in
April for sketch approval. Due to noncompliance with adopted plans and ordinances, that
request was denied. Plan Director Turk confirmed that this proposal is inconsistent with the
Comprehensive Plan , Zoning Ordinance and Conservation Plan. Under the Common
Council’s direction, the Zoning Code is in the process of being rewritten which will eliminate the
R-1, R-2 and R-3 Districts. If this proposal would be approved, after zoning code rewrite this
area would become nonconforming. Staff has met with petitioner and suggested other
options that are available. A Public Hearing for this item will be held on Tuesday, June 24
before the Common Council.
Petitioner, Gayle Schmitt, addressed the Commission with a revised layout that preserves
woodlands and wetlands, has added an additional outlot, and on site stormwater
accommodations. This revision had not been submitted to staff for review. Discussion ensued
wherein petitioner was asked why not consider a conservancy development. Ms. Schmitt
replied that, in her opinion this proposal is a good transitional development bringing the
surrounding neighborhoods together. Before voting, Commissioners were reminded that the
issue being voted on was the recommendation to Common council to allow rezoning of the
property, not the revised development. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 068-2003 was
Denied with a 5-2 vote. Commissioner Schaumberg and Alderman Madden voting Yes.

resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to approve.
Commissioner Stinebaugh seconded. Petitioner requesting amendments to previously
approved athletic field development plans. This proposal represents the development of ball
fields, parking area and storage/restroom facility. Staff reviewed proposals and believes this
is a nonsubstantial change to the existing Conditional Use Grant. Upon a roll call vote,
Resolution #P.C. 075-2003 was Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #PC 076-2003 – Approval of a wall sign for Hair Magic, to be located in the

Muskego Centre. The sign will be white and illuminated with red LED. Discussion took place
regarding the LED illumination in place of the neon tubing. Petitioner’s representative, Don
Nummerdor
of Sign Effectz, stated that the LED is a low cost new technology and would be difficult to
differentiate from the neon tubing. Several Commissioners would like to hear from the owner
of the Muskego Centre to get his input. Mr. Peter Jungbluth, owner of Hair Magic, stated that
he has been in contact with Mr. Wade Balson, Project Manager for Berg Construction and has
not received objections to this proposal. Mr. Nummerdor and Mr. Jungbluth agreed that if the
LED illumination is installed and Plan Commission has any objections, both parties (Sign
Effectz and Hair Magic) will replace illumination with neon tubing. Commissioner Hulbert
made a motion to amend resolution and add in the first BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, In the
event that the Plan Commission is dissatisfied with the post construction of appearance
of LED illumination in color, contrast and intensity to other signs in the Muskego Centre,
that 13 mm red neon tubing shall be used for an illumination source. Commissioner Brodel
seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 076-2003 was Amended. Upon a roll call
vote, Amended Resolution #P.C. 076-2003 was Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #PC 079-2003 – Recommendation to Common Council to enact a six (6)
month moratorium on Land Divisions, Rezoning Petitions, and Building Site and Operation
Plan approvals, to apply to properties which are currently zoned RS-1 Suburban Residence
District and RSE Suburban Estate District (Tax Key Nos. 2166.997, 2169.990, 2169.996,
2166.999, 2169.992, 2169.998, 2169.986, 2169.993, 2169.999, 2169.987, 2169.994,

2169.997, 2166.998). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Brodel made a
motion to approve. Alderman Madden seconded. Plan Director Turk stated that the Moorland
corridor is zoned for residential use. In 2001 the Comprehensive Plan Committee was
deadlocked with a 3-3 vote on what to do with this area. Half of the Committee voted for
equestrian estates and half wanted a business park. The City has retained Vandewalle &
Associates to develop an Economic Development Strategic Plan. This draft will be presented
to Committee next Wednesday for their initial review. One preliminary finding is that the
corridor can support limited office type development and light industrial. Due to numerous
inquiries for development in this area, Staff recommends a limited term moratorium for
rezonings, land divisions, and building site and operation plans. This will allow the completion
process for the Economic Development Strategic Plan and provide time to decide whether or
not to amend adopted plans and ordinances. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 079-2003
was Adopted with a 6-1 vote. Commissioner Hulbert voted No.
