NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION
RESOLUTION #P.C. 054-2004 – Approval for sale of fireworks for Vince and Heather Siegel
at the JetzFuel property located in the SW ¼ of Section 2 (Tax Key No. 2167.995.011 / S69
W15461 Janesville Road). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh
made a motion to approve. Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. Interim Plan Director
Muenkel stated that petitioner is proposing to operate a temporary fireworks stand in the NW
corner of the JetzFuel parking lot. Fireworks sales have not operated at this location,
however, the Resolution is drafted to allow temporary outdoor sales subject to Plan
Commission approval. The Fire Department brought to staff’s attention their Wisconsin Chief
Fire Officer Guidebook. The guidebook states that storage and handling of fireworks may not
occur within 50 feet where gasoline is dispensed. Staff has recommended two alternative sites
for the fireworks stand. Discussion ensued regarding the proposed and alternative locations.
Issues considered were public safety especially relating to the drive thru area, the proximity to
the gas pumps and holding areas and obstructing the drainage inlets. Alderman Buckmaster
made a motion to amend Resolution to add, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That if the original
location is outside of the 50 foot distance from the gasoline pumps, the temporary
fireworks stand will be located in the northwest corner of the JetzFuel parking lot. If the
original location is within the 50 foot distance, the temporary stand will be located south
of the car wash and east of the vacuum area. Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. Upon
a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 054-2004 was Amended. Upon a roll call vote, Amended
Resolution #P.C. 054-2004 was Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 057-2004 – Approval of a Building Site and Operation Plan for Dr.
Patrick Connell’s office building located in the NE ¼ of Section 17 (Tax Key No. 2192.976.002 /
Janesville Road). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion
to approve. Commissioner Stinebaugh seconded. Petitioner proposing to construct a 3,056
square foot dental office facility to be located south of the Discovery Days building. Proposal
meets the majority of the code requirements. The required setback is 40 feet, this proposal
shows 25 feet. The property is zoned B-2/OPD. The Planned Development zoning allows for
reduced setback with Plan Commission approval. After reviewing the landscape plan, the City
Forester is requiring all disturbed areas to be sodded. Access will be provided through cross-
access easements from Discovery Days and existing drives from Kwik Trip. Petitioner will be
responsible for recording the cross-access easements prior to occupancy. Parking is sufficient
for proposed use. Mr. Eric Neumann from MSI General approached the Commission stating
that the disturbed land will be sodded per City Forester’s recommendation. All mechanicals will
be screened from view. Signage has not been submitted. A monument sign will be brought to
Plan Commission for approval in the future. The monument sign will address both Discovery
Days and Dr. Connell’s Dental Office. Mr. Neumann assured the Commission that this facility
will compliment the Discovery Days structure, it is not their intent to have the buildings match.
Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 057-2004 was Adopted unanimously.

RESOLUTION #P.C. 058-2004 – Approval of a sketch preliminary plat for the
Basse/Rasmussen properties located in the SW ¼ of Section 3 and the NW ¼ of Section 10
(Tax Key Nos. 2171.999 and 2198.999 / Janesville Road). This resolution was read by title
only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to approve. Commissioner Schaumberg
seconded. Petitioner proposing a plan consisting of 42 single family parcels and 2 outlots
on 31 acres. The proposal meets the City requirements. The Police Department brought to
staff’s attention the concern of a direct route from Martin Drive to Janesville Road. This route
could cause potential problems with speed and safety in the subdivision. Staff recommends
that a cul-de-sac be shown on the Rasmussen property. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C.
058-2004 was Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 051-2004 - Approval of a Building Site and Operation Plan and
Condominium Plat for St. Andrews Village Condominiums, located in the NE ¼ and NW ¼ of
Section 25 (Tax Key Nos. 2258.995 and 2261.978/ Ryan Road). This resolution was read by
title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to approve. Commissioner Schaumberg
seconded. Interim Plan Director Muenkel stated petitioner is proposing twenty-four side-by-
side condominiums which will house forty-eight dwelling units. The approved master plan
included seventy-five dwellings and this proposal is within that approval. The proposed
structures will have the options to be one or two stories with different facades. Staff is
recommending that a material such as hardi-plank or comparable be used to withstand abuse
from the golf course. All buildings are above the 50% masonry requirement. After
discussions with Staff, the petitioners have resubmitted showing that hardi-plank will be used
instead of vinyl siding. Windows made of impact resistant material is also recommended. Mr.
Paul Votto of Burke Properties addressed the Commission requesting flexibility of planting
trees in groupings rather than in a line and 50 feet apart. The required number of trees will be
planted but in groupings where applicable. Improvements will be done with each phase of
development. This development will be done in three phases. Mr. Votto agreed that their
plans are to connect to sewer along Ryan Road and will be done all at one time for the entire
development. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 051-2004 was Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 052-2004 – Recommendation to Council to rezone lands for St. Andrews
Village Condominiums from R-3 Country Home District to RSA/OPD Attached Single-Family
Residence with a Planned Development Overlay District, located in the NE ¼ and NW ¼ of
Section 25 (Tax Key Nos. 2258.995 and 2261.978/ Ryan Road). This resolution was read by
title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to approve. Commissioner Schaumberg
seconded. Petitioner received conceptual approval in 2003 and this proposal conforms to the
conceptual approval. A Public Hearing was held on May 11, 2004 before the Common Council.
This petition would permit sewered residential development for two family attached residences.
Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 052-2004 was Adopted unanimously.
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 read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to approve.
Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. Petitioner is proposing 48 multi-family units. Staff has
many issues regarding this proposal. The developer has met with staff and is in the process of
making numerous changes along with submitting a condominium plat for this development.
Discussion ensued wherein some of the major concerns from the Staff were parking,
architecture and layout of buildings, fire access and snow storage. Guest parking wasn’t

reasonably adjacent to the intended users. Better access should be accommodated internally
in the development and issues such as snow storage and fire access should be taken into
better
consideration. Due to the high visibility area, consensus of Commission would like to see
architectural elements on the side and rear elevations of the buildings including adding more
brick products and breaking up the facades of the structures to possibly staggering the units.
The row housing proposal presented was not well received by the Commission as they felt the
units would be boxed units that looked like those in New Berlin, North of Janesville Road just
outside of the City of Muskego border. These thoughts were derived from the original concept
approval for this development. Overall, the Commission felt that there are too many units being
proposed for this layout and a possible entire new submittal would potentially be needed.
Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to defer. Alderman Buckmaster seconded. Upon a
voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 048-2004 was Deferred unanimously.

MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
Commissioner Michalski requested that color submittals be placed in the plan packets. It was
the consensus of the Commission that it is difficult to approve buildings without seeing color
renderings. Having the renderings in the packets to be reviewed prior to the meeting, would be
advantageous to the Commission. It was determined that this item could be requested of the
developers when submitting their proposals.
ADJOURNMENT
Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to adjourn at 8:42 p.m. Commissioner Michalski
seconded. Upon a voice vote, motion carried. With no further business to come before the
Commission, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
