RESOLUTION #P.C. 061-2004 – Approval of a Preliminary Plat of The Overlook at Crystal Lake Subdivision located in the SE ¼ of Section 32 (Tax Key No. 2288.993 / Muskego Dam Road). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to approve. Commissioner Stinebaugh seconded. Petitioner proposing a residential subdivision consisting of eight single family lots with three outlots. Petitioner has received conceptual plat approval by the Plan Commission. The plat shows a 60 foot public access dedication to Crystal Lake. The Land Division Code requires a 100 foot dedication when a new land division abuts a navigable waterway. Staff feels that the 60 foot dedication is acceptable as this is in line with current state code. Staff will be updating the land division code in the future and possibly changing the code from 100 feet to 60 feet. The resolution notes this dedication variance from the Land Division Code. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 061-2004 was Adopted unanimously.

Suggestions were made to have Bay Lane align with the existing roadway. Mr. Carity has met with Waukesha County Department of Transportation and discussed doing a traffic impact study.

This resolution was read by title only. Alderman Buckmaster PAGE 2 Plan Commission Minutes, continued July 6, 2004 made a motion to approve. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Petitioner proposing to rezone property from RSE Suburban Residence District and A, Agriculture to B-4 Highway Business District. Petitioner brought this item before the Plan Commission in 2003 and received conceptual approval for rezoning and an amendment to the 2010 Comprehensive Plan. When petitioner applied for final conceptual approvals the item was denied. Petitioner is now resubmitting proposal to rezone property. Several commissioners stated they were surprised that this item was being brought forward for consideration. There will be a Public Hearing held on July 13 before the Common Council on this matter. Typically, Plan Commission waits for the minutes from the Common Council Public Hearing before taking action. Alderman Buckmaster made a motion to defer this item until after the Public Hearing. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 071-2004 was Deferred unanimously. 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 read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to approve. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. A Public Hearing was held tonight on this item. The minutes from the Public Hearing are attached. Petitioner brought this item before the Plan Commission in 2003 and was denied due to the denial of rezoning by Common Council. Petitioner is proposing to construct four structures to be used for mini-storage which will have a security fence around the entire area. The proposed architecture is consistent with the rural agrarian theme of the Durham Hill Design Guide. The architectural elements meet the code requirements, however in the past, proposed brick veneer has not been considered a true masonry product. Consequently, none of the buildings comply with the 50% masonry requirements. Petitioner stated that full brick will be used. Discussion ensued regarding the roofing materials. The color rendering shows a red steel roof, while all written submittals state that the roof will be dimensional shingles. During discussion, Nancy Meinerz agreed to use dimensional shingles if this was a requirement. Lighting and photometrics will need to be submitted. Prior to issuance of building permits a landscaping plan will need to be revised and resubmitted. Fencing should be shown on site plan along with description of materials and colors to be used. Stormwater plans will need to be approved by Engineering Department. Consensus of the Plan Commission is that the overall look of proposal is well received, however, negative comments from surrounding residents that were stated at the Public Hearing will need to be taken into consideration. Approval of this resolution depends on action taken by the Common Council for the rezoning. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to defer. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 072-2004 was Deferred unanimously. 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. 2260.999 / W125 S9912 North Cape Road). This resolution was read by title only. Alderman Buckmaster made a motion to approve. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. A Public Hearing was held tonight on this item. The minutes from the Public Hearing are attached. Petitioner is proposing a structure that will contain mini-storage, office space, and an area to sell eight vehicles on site. The proposal consists of one structure that will be constructed in two phases. The first phase is the southern half of structure that will house warehouse/office space and two storage units. The second phase is the northern half of structure that will house seventeen mini-storage units. This second phase must be completed within two years from Plan Commission approvals or petitioner will need to resubmit plans for new approvals. No security fencing has been proposed. The cross access should be twenty feet in width to meet requirements and a cross access easement document will need to be recorded before building PAGE 3 Plan Commission Minutes, continued July 6, 2004 permits would be issued. The architectural elements match the building built on the southern abutting property. The proposed building does not meet the 50% masonry requirements. Suggestions were given to continue brick around the building. The site plan shows that raised panel doors will be on the street right-of-way elevations while roll-up doors are shown on the rear elevations. Consensus of Commission was to have overhead raised panel doors on any area that faces a roadway. Stormwater plan needs to be approved by engineering. Mr. George Alex addressed the Commission. Mr. Alex stated that the Agenda had the wrong address and tax key number. The correct address is S98 W12575 Loomis Court. The correct tax key number is 2257.973.001. Mayor Slocomb said that Resolution #P.C. 067-2004 will be corrected. Petitioner plans on constructing Phase 1 this year and construct Phase 2 in the Spring of 2005. Mr. Alex stated that he already has a tenant to occupy the building. Discussion ensued regarding the compacted stone area. It was suggested that no vehicle storage would be allowed in this area. Mr. Alex said he has no immediate plans for this space. Lengthy discussion took place regarding the site layout. Commissioner Michalski suggested that the building could be reconfigured on site and would look more appealing to the surrounding area. This realignment would be an advantage regarding landscaping. It was suggested that the petitioner contact Commissioner Michalski to pursue the reconfiguration. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to defer. Commissioner Michalski seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 067-2004 was Deferred unanimously. RESOLUTION #P.C. 076-2004 – Approval of an amendment to a Building Site and Operation Plan for H & C properties, LLC located in the NW ¼ of Section 10 (Tax Key No. 2198.949 / Janesville Road). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to approve. Commissioner Stinebaugh seconded. Petitioner owns a retail office complex and is proposing to relocate the air conditioning units from roof top to the east area of property. The proposed area is out of public view and petitioner will enclose area with redwood or cedar fencing. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 076-2004 was Adopted unanimously.
