OLD BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION
RESOLUTION #P.C. 063-2006 – Recommendation to Common Council for various 2010
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments. This item was on the floor and deferred. Plan
Director Muenkel stated that this item was deferred due to the absence of Alderman
Buckmaster at the last Plan Commission meeting. Without his presence the views from the
Common Council could not be reflected to the Plan Commission. Also, the residents are still in
discussions with Aldermen to come to a consensus regarding the outstanding issues. The
Common Council deferred this item to the Committee of the Whole for in-depth discussion.
During the Committee of the Whole discussions, the committee split areas into two boundaries.
Boundary area #3 (Lake Denoon) had no one come forward in favor or opposition, the
Committee of the Whole would like this area to go forward as proposed. Boundary area #4,
the Committee of the Whole came to consensus that they would like to have the plan reflect the
area around Thode Drive to remain agricultural and open space. The area around the golf
course to change to reflect the zoning in the area of medium density, multi-family and business
along Highway 36. Common Council would prefer to have the commercial zoning saved for
future use and would like this reflected in the Comp Plan. Discussion took place regarding the
400 feet of frontage zoned for commercial use. Commission Simpson stated that with the WE
Energies in the right-of-way and the possibility of environmental areas in the way, he does not
feel that business is a good use in this area. The multi-family should be placed up to the WE
Energies area. There are better uses and better areas to the west of the property for
commercial. The majority of the Plan Commission agreed with Common Council to retain the
commercial use along the highway. Discussion ensued wherein the Aldermen and constituents
are still addressing issues of concern for the boundary areas #1 and #2. Commissioner
Hulbert made a motion to amend the Resolution to add, WHEREAS, The Committee of the
Whole discussed at their May 25, 2006 meeting to move ahead with the changes to the
area southwest of Lake Denoon and the area southeast of Big Muskego Lake while
holding off on the other two northern areas until further info was provided,
