RESOLUTION #P.C. 079-2010 – Approval of a Two Lot Certified Survey map for the Ricco
property located in the SW ¼ of Section 26 (Tax Key No. 2263.998.003 / W151 S10178 Thode
Drive). Commissioner Jacques made a motion to ADOPT Resolution #P.C. 079-2010. Ald.
Borgman seconded. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 079-2010 was ADOPTED

NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION
#P.C. 080-2010 – Discussion of a Conceptual Three Lot Certified Survey Map for the
Sellhausen/Sepulveda property located in the SW ¼ of Section 31 (Tax Key Nos. 2283.999.001
& 2283.999.002 / Crowbar Drive). Director Muenkel explained this item is for conceptual
approval due to controversy over past development proposals. The property is located on
Crowbar Road just south of Lake Denoon Park. The past owners wanted to divide the property
into a subdivision, which raised concerns over the number of docks, who would own the
wetlands and the density that would be allowed. The property has new owners who are looking
to divide the 41 acres into 3 parcels. They are proposing one large lot with the house and the
barn and then two smaller flag type lots. The two lots will have 80 feet of right of way, which is
required by code and will share one driveway via an easement. Staff is recommending
approval based on the conservation area being under one ownership and lot one being the only
lot with access to the water. The petitioner was present and stated his mom and fiancé and his
brother would be the only owner’s of the property, and they are not planning any future
development of the property.

RESOLUTION #P.C. 081-2010 – Approval of a Building, Site, and Operation Plan for Black
Tie Auto located in the SE ¼ of Section 18 (Tax Key No. 2229.989.003 / Janesville Road).
Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to ADOPT Resolution #P.C. 081-2010.
Commissioner Jacques seconded. Director Muenkel explained a rezoning from M-3
Landfill/Extractive to M-2 General Industrial was approved for this property at the last meeting to
allow an auto service repair use. This submittal is for Building, Site and Operation approval.
Two 4,320 square foot structures are proposed on a one-acre parcel. The two buildings
proposed are to be constructed with metal siding and roofs and cultured stone. The General
Design Guide calls for 50% masonry product unless Planning Commission finds reasons to not
apply the requirement. The buildings, as proposed, do not meet the 50% requirement on all
sides. Calculations are determined with the windows and doors removed. Because of the
grade changes and trees, the buildings will be mostly unnoticeable. Staff recommended the
following contingencies:
Metal siding and roofs are allowed due to location, vegetation, and topography on the
site.
50% masonry must be found on all sides of the structures except the west façade of
the western structure and the north façade of the eastern structure.
That a second row of windows be applied to the overhead doors
The overhead doors along Janesville Road must be kept closed when not in use.
Parking is shown as seven stalls, which meets the code requirement, but they will need to be
10’x20’ instead of 9’x18’ as shown on the site plan. The drive aisles will also need to be
adjusted to 24 feet of drive aisle area. There is no location for a dumpster at this time. If one is
needed, Community Development Department approval will be required. A landscape plan
must be submitted and approved by the City Forester before building permits are issued. Staff
recommended lining the entryway to the site with some landscaping, and if the tree line along
the eastern portion of the site is removed new trees may need to be planted. Any signage and
lighting will need Community Development Department approval. No outdoor storage including
junk vehicles will be allowed on the site. Roof top and ground mechanicals must be screened
from view.
Commissioner Noah stated he would like to see the buildings as close to 50% masonry as
possible while keeping a consistent line matching each façade and each building.
Discussion took place relating to the foundation wall on the eastern façade of the east building.
It was the consensus of the Commission that the exposed area be covered with the same
masonry material as the other facades. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #081-2010 was
ADOPTED unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS PLACED ON FILE
DOCKET #P.C. 071-2010 – Recommendation to Common Council to rezone a property from
RM-1 (Multi Family Residence) and RS-2 (Suburban Residence) to a Planned Development
for the Willow Glen Development and approval of a Building, Site, and Operation Plan located
in the SW ¼ of Section 16 (Tax Key No. 2223.998.004, 2223.998.005, 2223.998.006 / W182
S8450 Racine Avenue).
