This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to approve. Commissioner Michalski seconded. Associate Planner Trzebiatowski informed the Commission that petitioner is proposing to construct a 20’ x 22’ accessory structure which is in addition to an existing accessory structure and requires Plan Commission approval. The proposed structure is 440 square feet and the existing structure is 128 square feet for a total of 568 square feet. The total square footage allowed for this property is 720 square feet. The proposal meets the bulk requirements of the Zoning Code. The color and materials of the structure are required to match the principal dwelling. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 124-2006 was ADOPTED unanimously. Plan Commission Minutes, continued November 7, 2006 RESOLUTION #P.C. 126-2006 – Approval of an amended Building, Site, and Operation Plan for Eye Kandy Custom Creations located in the NE ¼ of Section 25 (Tax Key No. 2257.973.001 / Loomis Court). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to approve. Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. This property is located on the southeast corner of Loomis Court and North Cape Road. Currently there are two commercial/warehouse buildings on site. Petitioner will be locating a body shop business within the rear portion of the northern building. The proposed business involves auto body repair, refinishing, and painting, but no vehicle sales. Staff believes that the proposal is a non-substantial change and is within the allowance of the existing Conditional Use Grant. All previous contingencies from prior resolutions that have not changed as a result of this resolution will still apply, including an annual review. This resolution states, as in the past, no outside storage or displays are allowed. All U-Hauls, rental vehicles and/or storage must be kept within the fenced area at all times. Associate Planner Trzebiatowski stated that staff did a site inspection and found a few non- complaint/violations on the property. These are not the responsibility of the new business owners, but are the responsibility of the property owner(s). There were three U-Haul trucks parked near the mini-storage units along North Cape Road. All approvals for this site stated that U-Haul trucks must be parked at all times within the fenced area along Loomis Court. There are no exceptions to this requirement. If the U-Hauls are not relocated to the fenced area by November 13, 2006 citations will be issued in the amount of up to $100 per day that the violation occurs. There were numerous vehicles parked in front of the newer building that were not in approved and marked parking stalls. This creates a major safety concern. Vehicles can only be parked within approved and marked parking stalls. If all vehicles are not parked in the approved and marked stalls by November 13, 2006, citations will be issued in the amount of up to $100 per day that the violation occurs. The land owner has received copies of the Plan Commission supplement. Discussion ensued wherein the majority of the Plan Commission would like to have the property owner start receiving citations immediately as he is aware of the restrictions placed on this property. Associate Planner Trzebiatowski reiterated that the property owner has been given a notice that citations will be issued as of November 13, 2006. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 126-2006 was ADOPTED unanimously. RESOLUTION #P.C. 127-2006 – Approval of a mother-in-law unit for the La Licata property located in the SE ¼ of Section 32 (Tax Key No. 2288.991 / Muskego Dam Road). This resolution was read by title only. Alderman Buckmaster made a motion to approve. Commissioner Stinebaugh seconded. Petitioner is proposing to design a mother-in-law unit within their home that will begin construction in the very near future. The mother-in-law unit shows that it will be used by a related individual to the family, will be self-supporting in livable needs and will have a passage to the main residence and a door to the outside. However, the mother-in-law unit is proposed to be up to 1,500 square feet in size which is 700 square feet greater than what code allows. There were some concerns by Commissioners, for this size unit and what may happen in the future, if the petitioner decided to sell the house. Other options were discussed such as having a Guest House on the property as this is a five acre parcel. Associate Planner Trzebiatowski stated that there have been similar requests in the past and due to the larger parcel along with the unit being constructed within the residence there is less likelihood to have units rented by outsiders. The resolution reads that the Plan Commission can approve up to 800 square feet and if additional square footage is requested, the petitioner must go to the Board of Appeals for a variance. The Commission would approve the 800 square foot unit and give a positive recommendation to the Board of Appeals for the additional requested footage. PAGE 2 Plan Commission Minutes, continued November 7, 2006 Due to Staff being in the process of rewriting the Zoning Code, Associate Planner Trzebiatowski asked the Commissioners for their input regarding changing the code and not having a limit on square footage. This would be left to the discretion of the Plan Commission on a case by case basis and would eliminate the petitioner of having to go through Plan Commission and Board of Appeals. It was the consensus of the Plan Commission that the Code remains as is with a limit of 800 square feet. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 127-2006 was ADOPTED unanimously.

This schedule is given to petitioners and developers to help them in the submittal process. Associate Planner Trzebiatowski noted that due to the proximity to the holidays some of the meetings have been cancelled. He asked to take a poll if there would be a quorum for the November 21, 2006 Plan Commission meeting.

There would be a quorum and the meeting will be held. Plan Commission will meet on November 21, 2006 and December 5, 2006. The December 19, 2006 Plan Commission meeting will be cancelled.
