OLD BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION RESOLUTION PC 004-2023 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan Amendment for Jewell Homes located at W173 S7600 Westwood Drive / Tax Key No. 2196.031. (Original Motion to approve was motioned by Alderman Madden and seconded by Commissioner Graf). Planner Trzebiatowski reminded the Plan Commission about the original approval in 2022 for business and personal use in the existing building. The petitioner was back before the Plan Commission in February regarding the curbing requirements. In short, the Plan Commission decided that if all other conditions of the original BSO approval are met they would consider a waiver to mandating curb and gutter throughout the site In the updated supplement there were 13 items brought up to the petitioner regarding concerns found. Planner Trzebiatowski detailed each item including the grass on the property, painting, brick repair, drainage/washout, lighting, rutting areas, outdoor storage and landscaping. The bulk of the items have been addressed and recommendation is to defer this until November to allow everything to be completed. Commissioner Buckmaster said that seven months have been given and would appreciate if everything is completed so it doesn't need to come back over and over. The petitioner provided a few comments. He stated that for the drainage there is a fiberoptic person he met with and the fiberoptic person did not know how deep the lines were for a proper swale. So he had someone dig the trench by hand to ensure there was no damage to the lines. Ultimately this can't be fixed until the second lift of asphalt is installed, but before the second lift of asphalt is laid the curbing issue needs to be resolved. As for the landscaping, he thought everything was good, but has contacted a landscaper to add the trees this week. Commissioner Gazzana asked about the seeding in the back. The petitioner said there is no sun so unsure what will grow. Planner Trzebiatowski added that it is just a matter of maintenance. Commissioner Oliver asked if that instead of grass could decorative stone be installed. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that decorative stone would be fine as long as there is no outdoor storage. Decorative stone is preferred over mulch. Mayor Petfalski noted one comment from the email exchange that'he can't control how people drive' is one reason curbs are required. Commissioner Buckmaster made a motion to defer Resolution PC 004-2023 until November. Commissioner Gazzana seconded. Motion to defer Resolution PC 004-2023 passed unanimously. NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION RESOLUTION PC 051-2023 Approval of a Building, Site and Operations Plan for Citizens Bank located at S75 W17358 Janesville Road / Tax Key No. 2193.088.001. Planner Trzebiatowski provided an overview of the project. The project is for a new bank branch. The new building will be about 2,100 square feet with two ITM's. The new plan essentially is less impact with more greenspace. The Downtown and General Design Guides apply to this site. The building will be dark earthtone brick with metal panels and accents on the southern side of the building. An entry vestibule has large windows and glass doors will have dark mullions. Similar large windows are on the other elevations and the east elevation would have a night deposit box with maroon background. There will be a maroon soffit with backlighting up to the soffit of the building overhang. The two drive-thru awnings will match the building overhang but more information is needed for the ITM units, but they will need to match the building in color. As for the masonry three of the sides exceed the minimum requirement but overall the percentage of masonry is over 50% so staff is recommending approval based on the overall quality of design of the building. Access to the site from Michi Drive and there have been preliminary discussions with the neighbor for a cross access easement. There may be slight curbing changes pending these discussions. Curb is shown around the entire site, but rather than the barrier curb a concrete curb and gutter is in the Resolution. Parking stall sizes and quantity and the drive aisle all meet the City requirements. They do not have a need for a full dumpster so there is a smaller enclosure shown with fencing that will be reviewed during permitting. The landscaping plan will be reviewed after all the site work is determined. All mechanical units and transformers must be screened. Lighting appears to meet the City requirements and preliminary signage has been shown. One specific item to discuss is part of the Resolution regarding the area of the cross access where there is a current 20' right-of- way that is unused. There is no pertinent reason for this right-of-way at this location so with new developments like this is when we try and clean up things like this. Therefore, there is an amendment to the resolution proposed to show the intent that the bank is willing to work with the City to vacate the right-of-way but will also not hold up anything with the development. Commissioner Gazzana asked what will be between the building and ITMs as there appears to be a large area that is not being used. The petitioner said that it is for the stacking for the ITMs without a massive amount of paving. There are no tube structures back to the building so they can just turn this back to greenspace. Commissioner Buckmaster said that with the ITM machines the patron is just talking to a customer operation center. Commissioner Gazzana asked how many employees would be onsite. The petitioner said there will be around six at a time. Planner Trzebiatowski added that there is a floor plan with office spaces also. Alderman Kubacki the asked about the Lake Drive area to be vacated. Planner Trzebiatowski said that is basically a gap in the parcels owned by the City that is used for parking and access. Commissioner Bartlett asked if the easement will be adjusted if the drive access easement is from the neighbor is allowed. Planner Trzebiatowski explained that the vacation should be first so that '/z of the land goes to each owner only to the back of this property. The easement at that point would needed as the easement is not needed over right-of-way but over private property. Alderman Kubacki made a motion to approve Resolution PC 051-2023. Commissioner Bartlett seconded. Commissioner Gazzana made a motion to amend Resolution PC 051-2023 to strike the third condition of approval related to the completion of the right-of-way vacation and replace it with "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED The City and the developer/buyer will work together to establish an agreement prior to the issuing of the building permit relating to the vacation of the uneeded portion of the Lake Drive right-of-way". Commissioner Bartlett seconded. Motion to amend passed unanimously. Motion to approve Amended Resolution PC 051-2023 passed unanimously. RESOLUTION PC 052-2023 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan Amendment for Schultz Gun Club located at W146 S8125 Schultz Lane / Tax Key No. 2213.982. Planner Trzebiatowski explained the petition including adding a bathroom facility. It will be a pre -fabricated building masonry building that is 258 square feet near the existing pole building and will be approximately 10.5 feet in height. The building is molded concrete but it will have different colors on different features. The petitioner will need a building permit prior to placing it onsite. Alderman Kubacki made a motion to approve Resolution PC 052-2023. Commissioner Bartlett seconded. Motion to approve Resolution PC 052-2023 passed unanimously. RESOLUTION PC 053-2023 Recommendation to Common Council to Repeal and Recreate Section 386 (Floodplain Zoning) of the City of Muskego Municipal Code. Planner Trzebiatowski explained that FEMA is updating their floodplain maps. There are a couple areas in the City that the city does not believe is incorrect and didn't make sense. Some houses were in the floodplain that don't appear to be correct. The City petitioned FEMA that if there were updates this would be an area to look at. Now we need to update the Ordinance to reflect the new maps. Section 386 of the Municipal Code will be repealed and recreated to ensure all the small reference changes and text changes are included. This updates the City Code to meet all FEMA and DNR requirements so that residents are able to purchase flood insurance. There was a public hearing with no comments.
