OLD BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION RESOLUTION #P.C. 128-2004 – Approval of an amended Building, Site, and Operation Plan for Premier Limousine located in the SE ¼ of Section 9 (Tax Key Nos. 2193.123, 2193.124, 2193.125 / Janesville Road). This resolution was on the floor and deferred. Petitioner has resubmitted a new site plan showing that the limos will be screened from view. There will be three parking stalls in the rear of the site for limos. A fence will be placed between the two existing structures and extended from the small office structure to the west property line. Staff recommends that the fence be constructed from cedar or treated board on board that will totally screen the rear parking area from view. The current signage will remain and the refuse container will be located behind the fence to be screened from view. Commissioner Hulbert would like to have a sunset clause on current sign for about a year and then would like it to be removed. This sign does not fit into the rest of the downtown area. He feels that the site plan meets the guidelines and the petitioner should be allowed to move ahead with this proposal. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to amend resolution to add, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That when the day care use ceases, the sign will be removed. Alderman Buckmaster seconded.

Commissioner Simpson seconded. Petitioners are proposing to construct a new retail convenience center on the southwest corner of Janesville Road and Parkland Drive.

The site is comprised of three parcels and a Certified Survey Map will be required to combine these properties and dedicate roadway along Janesville Road. The Certified Survey Map will require a cross-access easement along all drivable areas. Site access will have two entrances, one from Pick N’ Save parking lot to the west and another going out to Parkland Drive. There are 74 parking stalls proposed all shown conforming to the 10’ x 20’ requirement. The building materials and architectural elements meet the recommendations of the Downtown Design Guide and General Design Guide. A five foot four inch monument sign is proposed and will be constructed with same materials as principal structure. The sign must be outside of the vision corner and landscaped. No wall signage specifications have been submitted. A landscape plan has been submitted. The City Forester has reviewed the plan and has approved with contingencies. The City Forester is working with developers to omit a few landscape islands in front of the building in order to preserve the Sugar Maple tree. A revised landscape plan will be required to be resubmitted and approved by the City Forester. Commissioner Hulbert agreed with City Forester and would like to see this prominent tree incorporated into the site plan. The Community Development Authority recommended approval of the Building, Site and Operation Plan as submitted. The Committee found that the structure proposed demonstrated a quality design unique for Muskego and will also provide the downtown area with a fine example of what architecture should demonstrate in the future. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 061-2005 was ADOPTED 5-0 with Commissioner Michalski abstaining.

This resolution was read by title only. Alderman Buckmaster made a motion to approve. Commissioner Michalski seconded. Petitioner proposing a new monument sign measuring 65 square feet in total area. Of the 65 square feet, 15.87 square feet will be used for an LED messaging center that would have two lines of text. The sign will be nine feet in height and located on the corner of Janesville Road and Racine Avenue.

RESOLUTION #P.C. 071-2005 – Approval of a Building, Site, and Operation Plan for M & I Bank located in the SW ¼ of Section 2 (Tax Key No. 2167.995.015 / Janesville Road and Moorland Road). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Michalski made a motion to approve. Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. Petitioners proposing to construct an M & I Bank on the southwest corner of Janesville and Moorland. The proposed building meets the zoning requirements for the B-3 district. Twenty-six parking stalls with two for handicap are illustrated. This parking exceeds the ordinance requirements. Access is depicted throughout the site with one access off of Princeton Drive. A trail will be incorporated into the existing Moorland Road trail. A cross-access easement along the western property line would be required. A photometric plan has been submitted. The lights will duplicate those found at Jetzfuel and Aldi. Alderman Buckmaster wanted clarification that the illumination would not affect the surrounding and future residential areas. The only signage is shown on the tower of the bank along the north and east elevations. The sign meets code requirements. Discussion ensued wherein the height of the tower is thirty-two feet.
