APPROVAL OF A METAL ACCESSORY STRUCTURE FOR
THE HERDA PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE NW 1/4 OF SECTION 26
(W145 S9685 GROVEWAY LANE / TAX KEY NO. 2261.980)
WHEREAS, A survey and building drawings were submitted to construct a 1,128 square foot
accessory structure on the property located at W148 S9685 Groveway Lane / Tax Key No. 2261.980,
and
WHEREAS, The property is zoned RL-1 Existing Lakeshore Residence District, and
WHEREAS, The proposal does not meet the Plan Commission's standards for administrative approval
of residential accessory structures as metal exterior materials being proposed on the accessory
structure, and
WHEREAS, The total square footage for accessory structures allowed on this property exceeds 4,800
square feet based on the size of the property, and said proposal meets the bulk requirements of the
Zoning Code, and
WHEREAS, The petitioner proposes to construct a new accessory structure on site that measures 24'
x 44' with a 6' x 12' front entryway, and
WHEREAS, The accessory structure will be used for personal storage only, and
WHEREAS, The structure will have steel siding and a steel roof with colors to match the house
along with a wainscoting that would also match the colors and characteristics of the house, and
WHEREAS, A gable porch entryway and "textured" steel siding adds to the residential feel of the
building, along with windows on each end of the building and two overhead doors and a service
door on the side with the entryway, and
WHEREAS, The property is at the end of the cul-de-sac of Groveway Lane along the shore of Big
Muskego Lake and the petitioner notes that there are two tree lines between this property and the
neighbor's property so there will be almost zero visibility of the building, and
WHEREAS, The accessory structure would be located behind the house and will be almost 275
feet from Groveway Lane, and
WHEREAS, The accessory structure will be offset 16.9 feet from the northern property line
meeting the setback and offset requirements, and
WHEREAS, The proposed height of the building to the midpoint is approximately 13 feet as
measured by the Code, which is within the allowable height of an accessory structure with a
property this size, and
WHEREAS, The accessory structure will have overhangs to match those of the house.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves of a 1,128 square foot
accessory structure for the Henneberry property located at W148 S9685 Groveway Lane / Tax Key
No. 2261.980.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Since the offsets of the proposed structure are at the limit, a survey is
needed as part of the Building Permit process.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The colors of the proposed building must be similar to the colors of the
home.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the building and lot cannot be used for the operations of any
business activities or for business storage.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the floor of the entire building must be concrete or asphalt, unless
a specific portion is only to be used by animals, which need specific City approvals.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The depth of the over hangs on all sides of the building must at least be
equal to those on the main home.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That failure to comply with the terms of this resolution and the
approved site plans shall result in the issuance of fines of $100 per day per violation, the initiation of
legal action, or both.
