RESOLUTION PC 053-2020 Approval of a six-month review for Frey Auto located at S106
W16301 Loomis Road / Tax Key No. 2293.996.002.
Planner Trzebiatowski explained the property is subject to an annual review to ensure
compliance with their BSO approval. In February there were noncompliance issues that
were brought up that were resolved after a letter was sent so the Plan Commission
approved a six-month review for this property. At a further meeting, there was discussion by
the Plan Commission for quarterly site inspections. For this round of reviews there were
again noncompliance issues during the site inspection. As of this meeting the site is in
compliance with the BSO approval.
Alderman Kubacki asked if the citations are for next Plan Commission review. Planner
Trzebiatowski reiterated the Plan Commission discussion from months past. Alderman
Kubacki said that given the history of this property, we don't know what it will look like
tomorrow.
Commissioner Oliver believes a quarterly review by the Plan Commission should take place
to gain a track record of compliance. The City appreciates the business being in the City,
but they have to follow the ordinances and regulations.
JJ Frey mentioned that he found a place for all of the cars outside of the City. His solution is
to store the vehicles elsewhere or take them to the salvage yard.
Mayor Petfalski explained the main goal is compliance. The approved plan is the property
owners plan and if noncompliance is inevitable based on the current plan, the property
owner needs to come up with a new plan and submit to the City. The City wants to see the
business succeed, but the plan must come from the property owner.
Planner Trzebiatowski would like to visit without any issues, and a track record would allow
the quarterly reviews to be changed back to yearly reviews.
Alderman Kubacki made a motion to approve Resolution PC 053-2020. Commissioner Graf
seconded. Commissioner Graf made a motion to amend Resolution PC 053-2020 to include
quarterly reviews by Plan Commission and remove the citation. Alderman Kubacki
seconded. Motion to amend Resolution PC 053-2020 passed unanimously. Motion to
approve Amended Resolution PC 053-2020 passed unanimously.
RESOLUTION PC 055-2020 Approval of a Two -lot Certified Survey Map for Mark and
Debra Golla located at W180 S8091 Pioneer Drive / Tax Key No. 2222.986.
Planner Trzebiatowski provided an overview of the proposed a CSM to split a lot into two
separate lots to create a new lot to be built upon. Technical reviews are underway. As part
of the review, it was noted that a large area of this property is wetlands and high -quality
woodlands that are completely surrounded by City -owned property. Tom Zagar the
Conservation Coordinator and City Forester noted that much of this property is not buildable
due to the wetlands and are noted as high conservation priority area. Due to the size and
quality of the natural area it is recommended that the Park and Conservation Committee
discuss this land division restrictions, easements and/or dedication or purchasing the
environmentally significant lands.

Alderman Kubacki asked if this is due to surface water. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that
this is due to the environmentally significant lands including wetlands and high quality forest.
The conservation topic does not preclude them from building a house on the property, but
rather is there an area where preservation can be worked out as well.
Commissioner Oliver asked if there is a restriction to where they can build on the property.
Planner Trzebiatowski mentioned that the owners are looking to build toward the front where
there are not the woodlands. They are restrictions there due to wetlands.
Commissioner Graf asked for clarification on what is before the Plan Commission. Planner
Trzebiatowski explained the Plan Commission is looking at the land division while the Park
and Conservation Committee would offer recommendations for the Common Council to
review.
Alderman Kubacki noted that because this is private property there would be cooperation
between the property owner and the City. Mayor Petfalski added that the City has done
conservation easements. The Council may look at the outright purchase of the property or
pay the property owner for an easement to protect it from future development. Planner
Trzebiatowski and Mayor Petfalski added that the goal is not to prevent someone from
building their home where they would like or to take or restrict private property, but rather to
work cooperatively to protect environmentally significant areas from future development.
Commissioner Bartlett made a motion to approve Resolution PC 055-2020. Alderman
Kubacki seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
RESOLUTION PC 056-2020 Approval of a Certified Survey Map and Condominium Plat for
Cornerstone Development located north of Loomis Road and west of Champions Drive /
Tax Key Nos. 2258.074, 2258.996.001, 2259.970, 2261.978.003, and 2264.999.
Planner Trzebiatowski explained one of the next steps needed is to combine and split off
property and review the condominium plat. Planning staff does not see any issues, but a
technical review is underway. The Building, Site and Operation Plan was approved at a
previous meeting.
Alderman Kubacki made a motion to approve Resolution PC 056-2020. Oliver seconded.
Motion passed unanimously
