This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Schaumberg made a motion to approve. Alderman Buckmaster seconded. Petitioner is proposing to construct a new restaurant/bar while the existing restaurant/bar remains in operation. Due to the widening of Janesville Road and the nonconformity of the existing structure, this building is required to be torn down. Petitioner proposing to keep the existing facility open in conjunction with building a new facility. Upon completion of new structure, the existing facility will be torn down and phase two of new construction will begin. Staff has taken considerable amount of time to ensure the proposed plan is concise in order to make certain that all safety precautions are taken for the patrons while the existing facility remains operational and the construction of the new facility is in progress. A plat of survey is needed to verify the setbacks and offsets. There is shared parking with the parcel to the west, however no exact parking lines are shown on site plan. Parking and traffic ways should be illustrated on site plan, along with addition of curbed areas, lighting and landscape islands. The cross access is not depicted on property to the west. Lighting elevations, signage lighting and photometric plans needs to be submitted. Landscape plan is being addressed by the City Forester. A revised plan will need to be submitted. The overall design of the new structure meets the Tess Corners Design guidelines. A color rendering has PAGE 2 Plan Commission Minutes, continued June 1, 2004 been supplied. Issue of concern is the decorative lattice that will screen the mechanicals. Regarding the seriousness for safety, staff would like to have times of construction and times of business operation along with notes showing that only Janesville Road access will be used for construction during the restaurant/bar operation times. All public access would be on Durham. During construction, the entrance for the current building is to be accessed on the eastern portion of existing building along with an ADA accessible pathway which encroaches Durham Road right-of-way. This encroachment will be reviewed by the Public Works Committee. Staff is requesting write-up notes stating that resurfacing of asphalt will occur in the parking lot; along with curbing the parking lot, and painting parking stalls. The wall between phase 1 and phase 2 on new structure will be constructed for easy demolition. This material should be noted on the resubmital. It appears that impervious surface will be added, and stormwater calculations should be submitted. Staff recommends deferral until all concerns are addressed. Commissioner Michalski had a concern with the number of parking stalls required for phases 1 and 2. There should be 58 stalls when construction is finished. Another concern is the lattice material to screen the mechanicals. Commissioner Michalski would like another option for this area so the mechanicals will not be seen. Mr. Chris Manske, Welman Architects, suggested that a board could be placed behind the lattice to block the mechanicals. Commissioner Michalski agreed this could be a valid option. There is a possibility that the mechanicals may be placed under the patio area also. The final decision on the size of mechanicals to be used has not been determined. Commissioner Michalski also stated that the handicap parking seems too far from the front entrance to the new building. The elevations look good except for the curved windows. Alderman Buckmaster has a concern with traffic cut-through due to Durham Road being a cul- de-sac. Perhaps petitioner could install speed bumps to deter the traffic. Looking for suggestions to prevent traffic from passing through the parking lot. Parking on the cul-de-sac could be a problem and should be restricted due to the pedestrian traffic in this area. Police enforcement may be necessary. Petitioner, Lyn Kurer, along with Paul Beck, Platt Construction, discussed ways to elevate the cut-through traffic, and how to address the concerns regarding the parking lot. Ms. Kurer is allowed to have speakers on the patio, however, will need a permit to have any outside music. Alderman Buckmaster made a motion to defer. Commissioner Michalski seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 066-2004 was Deferred unanimously. RESOLUTION #P.C. 068-2004 – Approval of a Building Site and Operation Plan for Office and Warehouse Facilities in the Muskego Industrial Park located in the SE ¼ of Section 17 (Apollo Drive / Tax Key Nos. 2228.999.020 and 2228.999.021). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Schaumberg made a motion to approve. Alderman Buckmaster seconded. Petitioner proposing to construct an office, warehouse and RV storage facility. Plan Commission previously approved this site plan but the approvals have expired and details have changed. The proposal meets zoning code requirements. The site plans depicts two parcels that will house the existing structure to the east and the new structure to the west. To resolve access issues for the site, evidence is required for cross access easements and stormwater easements if the parcels remain separated or evidence is required if parcels are PAGE 3 Plan Commission Minutes, continued June 1, 2004 going to be combined. Petitioner stated that he plans on combining sites after construction. Mr. Meinen will be required to combine the properties thirty days after occupancy. Discussion ensued regarding the determination if the stamped poured concrete meets the definition of masonry product within the General Design Guide and it was determined that it does not. Commission questioned the amount of brick being proposed. Due to location, this requirement may be waived, however, the buildings will be required to match existing structure. The color rendering that was submitted did not show the exact colors being proposed on the building or doors. Clarification needs to be submitted with correct elevations of usage of brick, colors and the retail business. Staff conducted a site visit and found a great deal of out door storage and sporadic employee parking throughout the lot. Recommendations were made to improve the parking areas for employees; relocate the truck well eliminating the need for additional drainage pipes; paving the parking lot; and the location of the overhead door. Commissioner Michalski made a motion to defer. Alderman Buckmaster seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 068-2004 was Deferred unanimously.
