NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION
RESOLUTION #P.C. 025-2004 – Approval of a Building Site and Operation Plan and a
Conditional Use Grant for Leaps and Bounds Day Care located in the SE ¼ of Section 8 (Tax
Key No. 2192.970 / Muskego Centre). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner
Schaumberg made a motion to approve. Commissioner Stinebaugh seconded. A Public
Hearing was held prior to the start of the Plan Commission meeting regarding this item.
Petitioner has submitted for a Conditional Use Grant; Building Site and Operation Plan and
signage for Leaps and Bounds Day Care to be located in the Muskego Centre. The signage
meets the zoning requirements and is consistent with the Muskego Centre site. Discussion
ensued regarding the safety of the outdoor play area in the rear of the building. A 2,400 square
foot playground surrounded by a chain linked fence is proposed. To access this area, the
petitioner has proposed a painted walkway from the rear of the building to the playground.
There is a chain linked fenced area directly abutting the building that will act as a gathering
area for the children prior to crossing to the play area. There will be two teachers outside at all
times during all outdoor playtime. One teacher will have a two way radio that will enable
communication between the building and playground areas at all times. The children will be
escorted to the playground, and will never be permitted to go from the playground into the
building without supervision. The State has given preliminary approval for this request. Upon a
roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 025-2004 was Adopted unanimously.

RESOLUTION #P.C. 039-2004 – Approval of a Preliminary Plat for the Fireside Orchard
Subdivision located in the NE ¼ and SE ¼ of Section 18 (Tax Key No. 2229.990.001 /
Hillendale Dale). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Schaumberg made a
motion to approve. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. The proposed plat meets all zoning code
requirements as well as 2010 land use plan recommendations. All right-of-way have been
dedicated. Stormwater management will be handled on Outlot 1 and distribution will be
determined when construction plans are submitted. The street stub to the south is a concern.
The stub appeared to be abutting a navigable waterway, however, the DNR has determined
that there is no navigability issue and their letter has been placed on file. Consequently, this
would allow for access for future land development to the south. Another issue to be
addressed is to change the name of Apple Lane as the City already has a street close to this
name. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 039-2004 was Adopted unanimously.
