2231.995 / Janesville Road). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner
Schaumberg made a motion to approve. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Petitioner
proposing a new building with extensive updates to landscaping, parking, lighting, and access
on the site. Currently, the site contains old accessory buildings and a lighted horseshoe pit
that is allowed by a Conditional Use Grant. Access will be provided with one entrance off of
Crowbar Drive and the current access off Janesville Road will be eliminated. The parking,
photometric plan, and lighting plans have met the requirements of City standards. The City
Forester has reviewed the landscape plans and has recommended that some enhancements
are necessary. The flagpole will be allowed to remain as proposed, however the figurine of the
Moose will be required to be relocated on site. The materials for the new structure consist of
cashmere color cultured “queen size” brick, natural color precast stone sills, tan color hardi-
plank siding, and forest green asphalt dimensional shingles. The new structure will consist of a
bar and dining area on main floor and basement for storage. The building and land will be used
for private group events. Discussion ensued regarding the building not meeting the 50%
masonry requirement. Petitioner’s architect, Dave Koscielniak, addressed the Commission that
they could raise one or two layers of brick on building. The tower will be brick. Consensus of
Commission would like to see a color rendering of the new proposal. Commissioner Hulbert
made a motion to amend the resolution to add, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That brick will
be placed on all elevations of the tower. An additional one or two layers of brick will be
added to the elevations of the building to meet the 50% masonry requirement.
Commissioner Stinebaugh seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 077-2004 was
Amended unanimously. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to defer this item to allow
petitioners to submit color renderings with the additional brick requirements. Commissioner
Stinebaugh seconded. Upon a voice vote, Amended Resolution #P.C. 077-2004 was Deferred
unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 098-2004 - Approval of a condominium plat and a Building, Site, and
Operation Plan amendment to Lindale Villas located in the SE ¼ of Section 3 (Tax Key No.
2169.987.004 / Martin Drive). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh
made a motion to approve. Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. Petitioner received Building
Site and Operation Plan approval contingent that a condominium plat be submitted. The plat
has been reviewed by City staff and has met all technical issues. Petitioner has submitted an
amendment to the Building Site and Operation Plan to construct a 16’ x 16’ utility building to be
located along the southern portion of the property. The building will be constructed from the
same materials as the principal structure and will not hinder any drainage patterns. Interim
Plan Director Muenkel noted that the extensive requirements put on the original Building Site

and Operation Plan are still in affect. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 098-2004 was
Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #PC 106–2004 - Approval of a Building Site and Operation Plan and
Determination of a Substantial Change to the approved Muskego Centre Planned Development
District for Mountain Mudd Espresso located in the NE ¼ of Section 17 (Tax Key No. 2192.970 /
Racine Avenue). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a
motion to approve. Alderman Buckmaster seconded. Petitioners proposing to construct an 8’
x 8’ all brick structure that will be located near the Racine Avenue right-of-way, standing alone
from the existing retail structures. The structure will be a drive-thru espresso. The colors will
match the retail structures. Interim Plan Director Muenkel stated that staff does not agree with
the existing drive-thru layout. Staff suggests that the site be moved away from the Racine
Avenue right-of-way to allow more room for serviced vehicles to turn back into the traffic lane.
The entrance to the drive-thru lane should be widened and a landscape island should abut the
end of the exit lane. The drive-thru lane should be curbed along the Racine Avenue side. The
lot intended for Phase II of the Centre development should be restriped. Staff has noted that
some modifications are needed before permits will be issued. The concerns are included in the
resolution. Lengthy discussion took place regarding the traffic flow, more room for vehicles,
cross access, and pedestrian safety. Commissioners Hulbert and Stinebaugh do not feel that
this proposal will enhance this area. This will detract from the development.
Mr. Wade Balson, Berg Construction, addressed the Commission stating that they are trying to
obtain a cross access, however, there are three requirements necessary to do this. 1. Deed
restrictions. 2. Maintenance Agreement and 3. Monetary value. Mr. Balson stated that the
owner of the adjoining property does not want to agree to their terms.
Mr. Jason Krasno, Operations Manager for Mountain Mudd, feels that the busiest times will be
from 6:00 am to 9:30 am. They are anticipating 100 cars per day. They feel this operation will
enhance this area rather than detract as it is a very clean operation. Mr. Krasno agreed that
curbing could be added and is willing to work with the City to address all concerns. Consensus
of the Commission was supportive of this operation. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C.
106-2004 was Adopted with a 4-2 vote. Commissioners Hulbert and Stinebaugh voting No.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 110-2004 – Recommendation to Common Council to rezone land from
RS-3/00S, Suburban Residence with Office and Special Service Overlay with Special
Conditions to RS-3/OOS, Suburban Residence with Office and Special Service Overlay for the
Wade House located in the SW ¼ of Section 9 (Tax Key No. 2195.058 / Janesville Road). This
resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to approve.
Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. It has been determined that a previous Council
awarded this property a rezoning with a special condition placed on the rezoning. A Council
Ordinance was passed that a deed must be recorded, allowing the use of “a residence, antique
shop, and/or styling salon” for this property. The City would like to remove any special
conditions that exist. A Public Hearing will be held October 26, 2004 for the rezoning. Upon a
roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 110-2004 was Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 115-2004 – Approval of an Amended Building Site and Operation Plan
for Inpro Corporation located in the NW ¼ of Section 16 and the NE ¼ of Section 17 (Tax Key
Nos. 2221.001, 2221.002, 2221.003, 2221.004 and 2221.006.001 / Apollo Drive). This
resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to approve.
Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Petitioner received OPD zoning approval allowing Inpro

Corporation to have a decreased setback for the new addition that is being proposed. Inpro
will be razing the structures that currently border their property to the west to accommodate the
new
addition. Petitioner proposing 98 new parking stalls which are in conformance with City
standards. The City Forester has reviewed the landscape plans and recommended some
enhancements. A photometric plan has been provided depicting conformity to City standards.
Materials used on the new structure will mimic the existing structure and will include more
windows and variations in design than the original structure. The addition will be connected to
the original structure by a breezeway area that will include office space and a community area.
Access is provided with one entrance off of Mercury Drive and two entrances off of Apollo
Drive. Due to the safety concern, semi-trailers may not enter the Apollo Drive access from the
west so as not to block the Mercury/Apollo intersection. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C.
115-2004 was Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 116-2004 – Approval of an amended Building Site and Operation Plan
