RESOLUTION #P.C. 048-2004 – Approval of a Building Site and Operation Plan for Lindale
Residences located in the SE ¼ of Section 3 (Tax Key No. 2169.987.004 / Martin Drive). This
resolution was on the floor and deferred. Interim Plan Director Muenkel stated that petitioner’s
original submittal was dated May 18, 2004 and he has made substantial revisions including
having internal access throughout the property. Petitioner has stated that this will be a
condominium development. The building site and operation approval is contingent upon
condominium plat approval and is required before issuance of permits. Discussion ensued
regarding the parking. Several commissioners feel that there is not enough parking. According
to the Fire Department all street parking will be off limits. Mr. Greg Petrauski stated that there
could be additional areas throughout the site. He believes he could find at least an additional
twelve stalls. Suggestions were made to possibly place overflow parking near the stormwater
pond. Alderman Buckmaster made a motion to amend the Resolution to add BE IT FURTHER

property and recommendation to Common Council to rezone the Sonnentag property from EA,
Exclusive Agricultural to A, Agricultural located in the SE ¼ of Section 34 (Tax Key No.
2296.999.001). This resolution was on the floor and deferred. Interim Plan Director Muenkel
stated that new information validates the Certified Survey Map. There is an existing accessory
structure on the parcel without a principal structure. The Certified Survey Map will show the
structure to be removed within one year if no principal structure is connected with parcel.
Alderman Buckmaster made a motion to amend the resolution as presented with the bold
highlights and strikethroughs. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution
#P.C. 065-2004 was Amended unanimously. Upon a roll call vote, Amended Resolution #P.C.

RESOLUTION #P.C. 067-2004 – Approval of an amendment to a Building Site and Operation
Plan and Conditional Use Grant for B & G Self Storage located in the SE ¼ of Section 25 (Tax
Key. No. 2257.973.001 / S98 W12575 Loomis Court). This resolution was on the floor and
deferred. Petitioner has made some changes based on recommendations from staff and Plan
Commission. Overall, the newly submitted site plan meets most of the requested requirements.
Discussion ensued regarding the proposed berm. Staff recommends that landscape berm
should be expanded and heightened. The intent of the berm was to adequately screen the
nine foot overhead doors. The City Forester has requested that the plantings on the berm must
be the tree forms of arborvitaes and not the shrub form. Petitioner’s architect, Mark Freding,
addressed the Commission agreeing that the berm could be expanded, however had a concern
with the proposed height of the berm. Mr. Freding stated that the berm will be three feet above
the base floor elevation of the building. Commissioner Hulbert would like to see a two year
replacement guarantee especially with the trees on the berm.
Additional discussion took place regarding the brick. Mr. Freding said that the material would
be a full four inch brick. Consensus of the Commission requested that the brick be extended all
the way to the soffit and above the doorways on the West elevation giving an illusion of brick
columns.
Alderman Buckmaster questioned why there are bathroom facilities in Unit 20. What is the use
of this unit? Mr. Alex answered that Unit 20 would be used for storage and that the facilities
were there if needed. Interim Plan Director Muenkel stated that an Amended Building Site and
Operation Plan will be needed for more parking stalls if the use changes to be more intense.
Mr. Alex said that there are no significant uses other than storage for this unit.
A yearly annual review for the month of March has been incorporated into the resolution. This
property is currently zoned B-4 which already allows for the use and operation that is being
requested.
Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to amend Resolution #P.C. 067-2004 on page 3 in the
fourth BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED to read….. landscape berm should be expanded and will
utilize more of the open space and be at least three feet above the building elevation. The
trees on this berm shall be replaced if determined to be dead by the City Forester within
two years of installation. Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. Upon a voice vote,
Resolution #P.C. 067-2004 was Amended unanimously. Commissioner Simpson made a
motion

to twice amend Resolution #P.C. 067-2004 to add BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the
brick on the west elevation be extended to the soffit and extended above the overhead
doors. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Upon a voice vote, Amended Resolution #P.C. 067-

all bold highlights and strikethroughs as reflected in the resolution. Commissioner Hulbert

RESOLUTION #P.C. 072-2004 – Approval of a Building Site and Operation Plan and
Conditional Use Grant for mini-storage, for certain land located in the SE ¼ and SW ¼ of
Section 25 (Tax Key No. 2259.995.004 / Loomis Drive). This resolution was on the floor and
deferred. The Conditional Use Grant and Building Site and Operation Plan were dependent on
the rezoning approval. Common Council denied the rezoning request on July 27, 2004.
Consequently, this proposal may not be approved due to denial of rezoning. Interim Plan
Director Muenkel stated that this was a very complete proposal and presented professionally
which makes it unfortunate that the recommendation is for denial. Upon a roll call vote,
Resolution #P.C. 072-2004 was Defeated unanimously.
