PUBLIC HEARING CONSENT BUSINESS OLD BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION RESOLUTION PC 054-2023 Approval of a One -Lot Certified Survey Map for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on the Lisa Leonard Heck property located at S87 W 13205 Priegel Drive / Tax Key No. 2254.999.007. Planner Fahl described the land division. Ten acres would be split from the original 40-acre property. The DNR will be purchasing the 30-acre property to keep the area into a conservation and wetland preservation area. The code allows for one head of livestock for every 40,000 square feet of land for ten horses. Currently there are 34 horses on the property. A waiver is being sought to keep the horses for 10-15 years at which point they would come into compliance. The horses would be there until they pass and no additional horses would be allowed to come to the site. Additionally, the accessory structures on the site exceed the 2% allowed on the property. Currently there is 20,963 square feet of outbuildings which meets the code. When the ten acres is split off, they would be allowed 8,712 square feet of accessory structures. Now they are at 4.8% of the lot. The DNR is asking for a waiver not to exceed 15 years when the number of horses decline to meet the code. Along with the horses, no new horses, additional or replacement horses. The same with the accessory structures where no additional buildings, additions to existing buildings or replacement buildings would be allowed. This waiver is different from others as the DNR is purchasing the land for conservation space that will never be developed and will be open space. Mayor Petfalski noted that what is being asked is to consider the full property for the additional horses and outbuildings to facilitate the sale to allow the ten -acre parcel to be used to live and let the horses live as their final resting space. It is not like other areas where the land has been subdivided and each of the properties by right can build outbuildings and here the DNR would have the land and no other buildings will be built and eventually there will be less. Commissioner Oliver confirmed that right now they are at 4.8% of the property. So if any buildings have to be demolished they cannot rebuild. Mayor Petfalski added that the same would hold for the horses where as they expire the owner is not allowed to bring any new horses to the property. Commissioner Graf asked whether they see if there are any issues in coming into compliance in the future. Mayor Petfalski noted that the City is co -buying the property with the DNR. Planner Fahl added that if there is a sale of the property the waiver does not transfer and that these waivers are for the current owner. Commissioner Oliver asked whether the land could be sold back to the private sector. Mayor Petfalski noted that it is part of the Knowles program where it would not be sold. Mayor Petfalski also noted that the land is very developable and if this purchase did not go through it could be another subdivision. Additionally this connects two large pieces of land currently owned by the DNR. Alderman Kubacki made a motion to approve Resolution PC 052-2023. Commissioner Graf seconded. Motion to approve Resolution PC 054-2023 passed unanimously. RESOLUTION PC 055-2023 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan for Royal Recognition located at S83 W19105 Saturn Drive / Tax Key No. 2228.999.008. Planner Fahl explained that previously Royal Recognition obtained Plan Commission approval for a Building, Site and Operation Plan Amendment for an addition and at that time it was noted that the entire building including the existing blue metal wall paneling would be painted to match the remainder of the building. The petitioner now noted that the metal wall paneling was never intended to be painted. The petitioner is asking to change the paint colors to a light and dark grey with the metal wall paneling staying the existing blue color. A second modification is for the garage doors on the building. Typically, any overhead doors must match the color of the building, but in this case it was noted that a white overhead door could match the existing white overhead doors. The petitioner is requesting the ability to change the overhead doors to all black doors. The Resolution is written to be either all white or all black colors for the overhead doors as long as they match. The light grey and dark grey color scheme would apply to all of the masonry portions of the existing building. Alderman Kubacki likes the paint scheme. Commissioner Oliver confirmed that they paint color of the doors are either all white or all black. Commissioner Graf made a motion to approve Resolution PC 052-2023. Alderman Kubacki seconded. Motion to approve Resolution PC 054-2023 passed unanimously. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Graf made a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Oliver seconded. Motion to adjourn passed unanimously. Respectfully Submitted, Aaron Fahl, AICP Planner
