OLD BUSINESS SCHEDULED FOR DEFERRAL None. CONSENT BUSINESS. None. NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION RESOLUTION #P.C. 038-2011 – Approval of an Annual Review for Wal-Mart located in the NE ¼ of Section 3 (Tax key No. 2169.999.003 / W159 S6530 Moorland Road). Commissioner Jacques made a motion to ADOPT Resolution #P.C. 038-2011. Commissioner Burke seconded. Planner Trzebiatowski explained Plan Commission reviewed Wal-Mart in April this year for their 6 month review and found substantial compliance. The Alderman of the district requested one more review in October to allow the business to operate over the summer. Staff sent out letters notifying the neighboring residents of the meeting and to let staff or the Alderman know of any concerns. One comment was received and they had no issues with Wal-Mart, but that more noise comes from the Veolia property to the east. A field inspection was completed on September 23, 2011 to verify decibel levels. Staff found levels were below 40db along the entire east lot line of Wal-Mart. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that the Resolution states there will be no further reviews. No one in the audience wished to speak and the alderman of the district was not present. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 038-2011 was ADOPTED unanimously. Plan Commission Agenda, continued October 4, 2011 RESOLUTION #P.C. 039-2011 – Approval of a Building, Site, and Operation Plan for a medical clinic structure located in the SW ¼ of Section 2 (Tax Key No. 2167.995.009 / Moorland Road). Ald. Borgman made a motion to ADOPT Resolution #P.C. 039-2011. Commissioner Burke seconded. Planner Trzebiatowski explained a submittal was received from Briohn Building Corporation for a new medical clinic along Moorland Road. This structure will be a western anchor to the Kohl’s Department Store complex. There will still be a vacant space in between the two. The proposed building will be 24,178 square feet with 16,000 square feet being used by the tenant and the remaining space for future expansion. The building will be 100% masonry with architectural concrete brick, 8” concrete block, standing seam metal roofs, aluminum glazed windows, EIFS banding, and prefinished metal copings. This area is governed by the General Design Guide and the Moorland South Design Guide, and the plans meet the bulk requirements of the Design Guides and the Zoning Code. The only question that came up by staff was should there be more prairie-craftsman style architecture along the western façade as required by the Moorland South Design Guide. Mr. Trzebiatowski noted that Kohl’s was built a while ago and wasn’t the best example of prairie-craftsman style architecture. This style architecture is more present on the recent buildings such as Jetz, Aldi, M&I, Waukesha State Bank and Dr. Thompson’s Dental Office. Bob Goehner of Briohn Building was present and gave a brief presentation on the proposed medical clinic. Mr. Goehner explained the architecture used on the building is to add balance to the Kohl’s non-prairie-craftsman style architecture and the future development of the outlot using prairie–craftsman style architecture. The colors are from the City’s Design Guide and the beige color will match Kohl’s. The landscape plan was reviewed and approved by the City Forester. Discussion took place on what will be going in between Kohl’s and the medical clinic. Mr. Goehner stated the infill building is not known at this time, but when it does go in there will not be any space in between the buildings. The type of material that will be used on the east side of the building will be a 12” painted block. Mr. Trzebiatowski explained there usually is a little different style architecture on the infill side of a building. Mr. Goehner added there will be a wealth of landscaping along this side also. Commissioner Burke expressed concern with the lack of prairie-craftsman style architecture along the western side. Commissioner Burke suggested adding the green roof element along the west side about half way down near the bump out. Mr. Trzebiatowski noted the added roof element should be 4-side architecture too. Mr. Trzebiatowski added that this building is back from the road and will not be as visible as the future buildings in the outlots. Any future developments in these outlots should be held to a high level of prairie-craftsman style architecture. Commissioner Stinebaugh questioned what the noise level would be coming off the mechanicals on the roof. Mr. Goehner stated the mechanicals would not be heard from the ground. The units are in the middle of the building surrounded by a parapet wall. Discussion took place relating to sound levels that should be allowed. Commissioner Burke suggested an amendment be made similar to what was required of Wal-Mart. Mayor Chiaverotti noted this situation is different because there are no residents nearby as there are with Wal-Mart. Commissioner Stinebaugh requested staff look into some type of requirement through the Design Guide that limits the amount of noise from new developments. Commissioner Burke agreed. Commissioner Burke made a motion to AMEND Resolution #P.C. 039-2011 to read: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That another green prairie-craftsman style roof element be added to the western façade by the center bump out. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. PAGE 2 Plan Commission Agenda, continued October 4, 2011 Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 039-2011 was AMENDED unanimously.
