NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION
Resolution PC 041-2019 Recommendation to Common Council to Rezone a property from
B-4 Highway Business District to M-1 Light Industrial District for PJ's Trucking LLC. located
at W125 S9791 North Cape Road/ Tax Key No 2257.979.
Mr. Trzebiatowski explained the rezoning from B-4 to M-1. A public hearing was held in
rd
front of the Common Council on July 23. The rezoning includes a change in the
Comprehensive Plan from commercial uses to industrial. The proposal would be for future
business of storage of trucks and trailers and material storage. At the public hearing five
people spoke against the request with two in favor of the rezoning change. Concerns were
related to traffic, commercial versus industrial uses, proximity near residential areas and
potential noise. Comments in favor included use is already there, trucks back in during the
day, professional drivers are hired, owners looking to screen the new business. A previous
discussion was brought up regarding rezoning for a specific use or using a Conditional Use
Grant. Discussion with city attorney confirmed that conditional zoning for a specific use is
not something the City should be allowing.
Alderman Kubacki asked what other uses are permitted in M-1. Mr. Trzebiatowski explained
more of light industrial or business park uses.
Commissioner Graf asked for zoning on the other three corners of the intersection. Mr.
Trzebiatowski explained they are zoned B-4.
Commissioner Jacques made a motion to approve Resolution PC 041-2019. Alderman
Kubacki seconded. Motion passed 4-1. Commissioner Bartlett opposed.
Resolution PC 043-2019 Recommendation to Common Council to Rezone a portion of a
property from A-1 Agricultural District to B-4 Highway Business District for All Star Rental
LLC. located on Loomis Drive & Muskego Dam Road / Partial Tax Key No. 2295.999.010.
Mr. Trzebiatowski explained the rezoning from A-1 to B-4. A similar request was approved
previously but for a smaller piece of the property. The new request is for the same use and
same zoning, but just a larger area. A public hearing was held in front of the Common
rd
Council on July 23. No concerns were raised at the public hearing. An email was sent to
Mr. Trzebiatowski with no concerns about the use, but just want to be sure that the applicant
utilize sufficient screening from neighboring properties when developed.
Commissioner Jacques made a motion to approve Resolution PC 043-2019. Alderman
Kubacki seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
Resolution PC 044-2019 Recommendation to Common Council to Rezone a property and
a portion of a second property from A-1 Agricultural District to B-4 Highway Business District
for Bryon Hrin located on Loomis Drive and Loomis Road / Part of Tax Key Nos.
2295.999.010 (partial) and 2295.996.005.
Mr. Trzebiatowski explained the rezoning from A-1 to B-4. Discussed use for now is mini
rd
storage units. A public hearing was held in front of the Common Council on July 23. No
concerns were raised at the public hearing. Building, Site and Operation Plan approval is
necessary moving forward.
Plan Commission Agenda 3
8/6/2019 6:00:00 PM
Alderman Kubacki asked about the access to this property. Mr. Trzebiatowski explained
there will be a frontage road from Muskego Dam Road across the All-Star Rental property
that will be the main access. There is an access onto STH 36, but future discussions with
the state will be necessary for the access onto STH 36.
Commissioner Bartlett made a motion to approve Resolution PC 044-2019. Alderman
Kubacki seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
Resolution PC 047-2019 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan for The Naber
Group located at S107 W16311 Loomis Road / Tax Key No. 2296.996.
Mr. Trzebiatowski explained the BSO amendment application. The business includes
exterior construction, landscaping, snow removal and similar uses. Wants to use the
existing building for storage of materials and equipment. An area to the south of the building
will be an enclosed wood fenced area for outdoor storage of trailers, trucks and equipment.
One item of note is drums of questionable materials. One requirement included is to
properly dispose of these drums. Staff is also asking that an annual review in Fall 2020 to
ensure site is properly maintained.
Commissioner Bartlett raised concerns about the fence and wanted to know the specs. Mr.
Trzebiatowski explained that the fence has been described as a wood privacy fence and
staff will be reviewing this during permitting time.
Commissioner Jacques made a motion to approve Resolution PC 047-2019. Commissioner
Bartlett seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
Resolution PC 049-2019 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan for Alliance
Construction & Design Inc located at S73 W16555 West Janesville Road / Tax Key No.
2198.978
Mr. Trzebiatowski explained the BSO amendment application. The proposal includes
discontinuing the car wash use for all bays except the eastern bay that will continue. A
laundromat and two additional tenant spaces are included. Proposal will be adding masonry
with glass doors and reusing existing masonry. Screening of mechanicals is included in the
resolution. The traffic flow for the site will remain. The existing fence will be replaced with a
new vinyl privacy fence. The site plan does not include concrete curb and gutter. Because
the developer is replacing the hard surface on the entire site, vertical face curb and gutter is
included in the resolution. Future signage and lighting will be addressed per city standards
during permitting. The Plan Commission typically does not address hours of operation for
indoor uses, however with the car wash doors being open and dryer fans operable near a
residential use, the Plan Commission may want to discuss hours of operation, which has
been included in the resolution.
Commissioner Graf mentioned that the site could become very congested if there are
multiple cars waiting in line for the car wash.
Commissioner Bartlett asked about the access to the site with existing egress and proximity
to Janesville Road. Nothing will be changing regarding the access to the site.
Commissioner Jacques made a motion to approve Resolution PC 049-2019. Commissioner
Bartlett seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
Plan Commission Agenda 4
8/6/2019 6:00:00 PM
Resolution PC 050-2019 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan Amendment for
an Accessory Structure at the Stoney Creek Lutherans Inc for Elderly located at S69
W14142 Tess Corners Drive / Tax Key No. 2168.977.
Mr. Trzebiatowski explained the BSO amendment application for an accessory building that
requires Plan Commission approval. Regarding the metal roof, staff would like to be sure
that recommendation is not solely because the manufacture makes that as there are many
manufacturers, but because it fits within existing site and has very limited view.
Alderman Kubacki made a motion to approve Resolution PC 050-2019. Commissioner
Jacques seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
