OLD BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION
RESOLUTION #P.C. 093-2004 – Approval of a Conceptual Preliminary Plat for a property
located in the SE ¼ of Section 4 (Tax Key No. 2173.991 / Martin Drive). This item was on the
floor and deferred. Interim Plan Director Muenkel stated that this item was deferred to allow
petitioner time to resubmit two different drawings showing parcels with current RS-2 zoning and
with OPD Planned Development zoning. Petitioner has resubmitted one drawing showing 24
parcels and 2 outlots. The new drawing has addressed all Plan Commission concerns. The
access location is from Martin Drive. Rossmar Drive is still shown as not going thru, however,
this could change. In the event that Rossmar Drive does go through, the street name Victoria
Lane will need to be changed. Commissioner Simpson suggested removing Blvd. from Paige
Blvd as this is not considered an actual boulevard. The resolution states that a conceptual
rezoning is not granted by Plan Commission at this time. However, a rezoning may be
warranted in the future if the Park Board or Conservation Commission determine that the outlot
be dedicated. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 093-2004 was ADOPTED unanimously.

RESOLUTION #P.C. 096-2004 – Approval of an amended Building Site and Operation Plan
for co-located wireless communication facility for Cingular Wireless located in the NE ¼ of
Section 2 (Tax Key No. 2165.998.002 / W146 S6365 Tess Corners Drive). This resolution was
read by title only. Commissioner Michalski made a motion to approve. Commissioner
Stinebaugh seconded. The communication facility, located on the southeast corner of College
Avenue and Tess Corners Drive has received approvals in the past for co-location. Due to
leasing issues, the co-locations never followed thru with approvals. This submittal is for
Cingular wireless to locate a new antenna on the existing monopole along with constructing a
shelter for
utilities. The submittal is in conformance with the Zoning Code and Ordinance. The new
structure will incorporate aggregate siding to match the existing building. The new structure will
not have a pitched roof. The new privacy fence will match the existing fence. No landscaping
plan has been submitted. Upon site inspection, staff believes that a landscaping plan is
warranted for areas in front of the fence facing the rights-of-way. Mr. Robert Gust, petitioner’s
representative from Velocitel, agreed to install all new privacy slats on the existing and new
fence. Alderman Buckmaster requested a copy of the grounding plan to be submitted. Mr.
Gust agreed to provide the plan. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to amend the resolution
to add, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That all the existing privacy slats in the fence be
replaced to match the new slats. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That existing fencing be
fixed to match the new fencing before the issuance of building permits. Upon a roll call
vote, Resolution #P.C. 096-2004 was Amended unanimously. Upon a voice vote, AMENDED
Resolution #P.C. 096-2004 was ADOPTED unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 097–2004- Resolution directing Planning Staff to initiate termination of
Conditional Use Grant for a sand and gravel operation and a landscape business located south
of the Woods Road and Tess Corners Drive intersection in the NW ¼ of Section 12 (Tax Key
No. 2206.999). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Schaumberg made a
motion to approve. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. A letter was received in the Plan
Department requesting that the Conditional Use Grant be terminated as the current property
owner is using the land solely for residential purposes. The existing Conditional Use Grant on
the property allowed for a sand and gravel extraction business and a landscape business. Staff
agrees with property owner to terminate the Conditional Use Grant as the uses have ended. A
Public Hearing will be held before the Common Council to consider this matter. Upon a roll call
vote, Resolution #P.C. 097-2004 was ADOPTED unanimously.
