OLD BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION
RESOLUTION #P.C. 131-2005 – Approval of a Building, Site, and Operation Plan for two-
family residential structures on Lots 3 & 8 of the Northfield Green Subdivision located in the SE
¼ of Section 3 (Tax Key Nos. 2172.013 & 2172.018). This item was on the floor and deferred.
Plan Director Muenkel stated that at the November 15, 2005 Plan Commission meeting, the
petitioner was required to show more craftsman style architecture elements on the building
elevations and increases in masonry product. Petitioners have submitted new building
elevations, landscape plans and a narrative describing material and color changes that were
made to the buildings. The new building elevations show an increased amount of masonry,
along with additional craftsman style elements bringing them into compliance with the Moorland
Corridor South Design Guide. At the November Plan Commission meeting, staff was requested
to research the approvals given to Candlewood Village Condos allowing reduced masonry
products. After reviewing the files, it was found that previous staff stated that the amount of
lannon stone can be overused in some types of architecture and a lower amount of lannon
stone would be allowed so as not to overpower the rest of the building design. Approvals for
lower masonry products were given because there were other Arts and Crafts elements present
on the building designs. All changes have been incorporated into the resolution.
Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to amend resolution as presented. Commissioner
Simpson seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 131-2005 was Amended
unanimously. Upon a roll call vote, Amended Resolution #P.C. 131-2005 was ADOPTED
unanimously.

Commissioner Simpson seconded. Petitioner proposing a 160 unit condominium plat and a
request to rezone from RSM Multiple Family District and B-4 Highway Business District to

will not require an amendment to the 2010 Comp Plan. The proposed development is part of
the originally approved conceptual plan for the entire area around the country club which was
approved by Plan Commission in the early 1990’s. Items of concern that need to be addressed
by Public Utilities and Public Works are: well issues in the area, public or private right-of-way
needs, and access requirements. A Public Hearing is scheduled before Common Council on
January 10, 2006. Staff recommends deferral of this item to allow Public Works and Public
Utilities Committees to address items of concern and to await responses from the scheduled
Public Hearing. Alderman Buckmaster made a motion to Defer this item. Commissioner
Hulbert seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 129-2005 was DEFERRED

property located in the NW ¼ of Section 14 (Tax Key No. 2214.997 / Mystic Drive).

technical corrections are met, including showing the remnant pieces of land, surrounding
easements, and right-of-way dedications. An aerial photo demonstrating easements and
dedications added to a new Certified Survey Map was presented to the members of the Plan
Commission. The Public Works Committee will be required to review the possibility of
constructing a newly dedicated right-of-way. Alderman Buckmaster informed the petitioner that
the Common Council does not look favorably upon the four parcel unapproved roadway. Mr.
and Mrs. James addressed the Commission looking for clarification on the easements and
dedications in question. Mrs. James stated that the City approved all homes south of Mystic
and she does not feel that she should be penalized to construct a road. The five acres being
sold are going to be farmed not for development. Discussion ensued wherein this matter will
be reviewed and addressed by the Public Works Committee at their January meeting.

voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 138-2005 was DEFERRED unanimously.

can only illustrate four parcels. Before final recording of the Certified Survey Map, Public
Works
will review the proposed right-of-way. A determination needs to be made if the proposed right-
of-way can be public or private and if the configuration of the end of the right-of-way stays as
proposed or if a cul-de-sac bulb will be required. Mr. Reno Berg addressed the Commission
that the neighbor to the west has a fifty foot easement and is discussing with Mr. Kindler to
convey the outlot to neighbor. Mr. Kindler would then have the proposed sixty foot right-of-way
and lot 1 could be a free standing lot which meets the area and street requirements. They are
also aware that a driveway maintenance agreement will be required. Mr. Dennis Fitzgerald,
S103 W22005 Kelsey Avenue, Big Bend, WI 53103 addressed the Commission that the right-
of-way dead ends into his property. It was determined that the Public Works Agenda will be
sent to Mr. Fitzgerald keeping him informed of the items that will be discussed at the Public
Works Committee. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 140-2005 was ADOPTED

Board of Appeals for a variance of 711 square feet. If the proposed structure were to be
reduced to 449 square feet, a variance would not be needed. The resolution is drafted for
approval subject to petitioner receiving Zoning Board of Appeals approvals and demonstrating
the necessary hardship for the variance request. Commissioner Hulbert asked petitioner what
will be stored in this new structure. Mr. Luis Ceballos addressed the Commission stating that
he restores old cars and does not have a facility to work on these cars. He also is requesting
storage for their personal vehicles. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to amend resolution
to add: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That accessory structure will be used to house
personal vehicles and restore old vehicles. Commissioner Simpson seconded. Upon a
