NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION
RESOLUTION PC 016-2025 Recommendation to Common Council to amend the Zoning Map
and 2020 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Muskego for three (3) vacant lots for Daryl
Borchardt of the Oakridge Glen Subdivision located along Hackberry Hill Court / Tax Key Nos.
2172.070, 2172.076 and 2172.077.
Planner Trzebiatowski explained that this request pertains to the very east side of the Oak Ridge Subdivision
that was created for multi -family area adjacent to the Basse Farm to the east. Last year there was a petition
and subsequent approval to rezone two lots in the area and now this petition is for three more lots to be
rezoned from multi -family to single-family uses. These areas are adjacent to existing single-family lots.
Commissioner Bartlett asked if there are any more lots that remain multi -family. Planner Trzebiatowski said
there were nine more multi -family lots.
Mayor Petfalski noted that the original goal of the Common Council was that the residential side would come
through prior to the businesses and so the multi -family uses were a buffer between the single-family and
businesses.
Commissioner Bartlett said that there is still future development that could happen in the field, and he could
see some screening being addressed with that future development.
Commissioner Graf made a motion to approve Resolution PC 016-2025. Commissioner Bartlett seconded.
Motion to approve Resolution PC 016-2025 passed unanimously.
RESOLUTION PC 017-2025 Approval of a Conditional Use Grant (CUG) and Building, Site
and Operation Plan Amendment for MKE Motor Cars located at S83 W18346 Saturn Drive /
Tax Key No. 2223.001.
Planner Trzebiatowski explained this petition is in a multi -tenant building that will be subleased from Blue Line
Auto. There will be two spaces in front for vehicle sales, employee parking in the back, interior space for a
showroom and three spaces identified in the back for service staging.
Alderman Kubacki made a motion to approve Resolution PC 017-2025. Commissioner Oliver seconded.
Motion to approve Resolution PC 017-2025 passed unanimously.
RESOLUTION PC 018-2025 Approval of a Conditional Use Grant (CUG) and Building, Site
and Operation Plan Amendment for Werks Autosport located at W184 S8365 Challenger
Drive / Tax Key No. 2223.994.004.
Planner Trzebiatowski explained this space has housed auto uses previously and due to code interpretation
change the petitioner is coming in to help clean things up and adding a few spaces for vehicle sales.

Alderman Kubacki made a motion to approve Resolution PC 018-2025. Commissioner Bartlett seconded.
Motion to approve Resolution PC 018-2025 passed unanimously.
RESOLUTION PC 021-2025 Approval of a Metal Accessory Structure for Daniel Chaltry of
Everlast Structures on behalf of Ed Herda located at W145 S9685 Groveway Lane / Tax Key No.
2261.980.
Planner Trzebiatowski describe the new accessory structure on the site with metal exterior materials. It is
located at the southern dead-end of Groveway Lane bordered to the west by the lake, toward the south is
weltand, lowland and forest along with a house across the street and a neighbor to the north with a tree
separation. The building will be back behind the home. There is some character to the building with the
overhang in front by the service door. One item to note is that there is an existing shed that was going to be
taken down, but the petitioner would like to keep it and it fits within the allowable square footage of accessory
structures. One of the conditions is to have a survey completed as this is right to the extent of the offsets so
the building is constructed in the proper location. No business activities are allowed similar to all other
accessory structures.
Alderman Kubacki confirmed that the building will be 275 feet from Groveway Lane.
Commissioner Bartlett just wanted to clarify that the waiver to exterior materials is due to it being far off the
road, not very visible, highly screened, behind the existing house, etc.
Commissioner Cieslak noted that it says the building will be removed. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that with
the second building it is within the size allowance. Planner Trzebiatowski also noted that they may move the
building towards the house just a few feet, which will be reviewed during permitting.
Commissioner Graf made a motion to approve Resolution PC 021-2025. Commissioner Bartlett seconded.
Motion to approve Resolution PC 021-2025 passed unanimously.

For the meeting of. May 6, 2025
REQUEST: Approval of the Temporary Sale of Fireworks in the Muskego Centre parking lot
W189 S7819-39 Racine Avenue / Tax Key No. 2192.971
SE '/4 of Section 8
PETITIONER: Dustin Hein, Freedom Fireworks, LLC.
INTRODUCED: May 6, 2025
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
BACKGROUND PC 024-2025
Petitioner proposes to operate a temporary fireworks sales stand within the existing parking stall area on the east
side of the property along Racine Avenue. A 30' x 60' tent will be erected for product display and retail sales along
with two 8' x 20' metal storage containers immediately adjacent to the tent for all storage. A safety barrier will be in
place to separate the patrons from vehicles in the drive aisles. Signage has been indicated as two 3' x 20'
temporary banners secured to the containers. Operations are proposed from June 21st, 2025 to July 7th, 2025 from
9:00 am to 9:00 pm daily. The property will be canvased daily for trash and debris. Permission has been received
from the property owner to use the site and the restroom facilities.
DISCUSSION PC 024-2025
The proposal is consistent with the operations of other vendors in Muskego and essentially the same as last year at
this location.
As allowed with other firework sales locations, the storage containers may be on site. There have been no
problems with the storage containers in years past when the applicant operated in the Pop's MarketPlace, Piggly
Wiggly or the Pick n Save parking lots. At some times in the past the signage that has been placed on/around the
site has been much more than approved and the only signage allowed if the specific signage noted in the
application. This means that yard signs and other banners (other than those specifically approved) are not allowed
on or around the site.
A transient merchant license must be obtained from the City Clerk's Office.
All tents and storage must be located within parking stalls and no drive aisles can be blocked anywhere on site.
The tent and containers must be completely removed from the site by July 14, 2025.

STAFF DISCUSSION PC 023-2025
At the June 4, 2024 PC meeting the Plan Commission discussed and approved the BSO for Tractor
Supply for the structures, architecture, colors, site layout, and business operations including deliveries
and the overall retail use of the site.
As previously mentioned, the retail use is permitted with Plan Commission approval of a BSO Plan. The
CUG is only for the ability to operate a veterinary clinic as part of the retail store. Tractor Supplies' PetVet
Clinic offers affordable and convenient preventative services from state -licensed veterinarians without
appointments. Overall, staff feels this use will fit seamlessly in with overall Tractor Supply development.
Amended Resolution PC 039-2024 included all BSO conditions of approval for the Tractor Supply
development that will remain in effect with this Conditional Use Grant.

Plan Commission Supplement PC 025-2025
For the meeting of: May 6, 2025
REQUEST: Signage for Legal Non -Conforming Commercial Properties Review Policy
PETITIONER: City of Muskego
INTRODUCED: May 6, 2025
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP
DISCUSSION PC 025-2025
Very recently staff has been approached for replacement signs on several businesses that currently fall within
residential Zoning Districts, some with and some without Conditional Use Grants (CUG). The legal non-
conforming businesses are businesses that have been operating without a change in use since the inception of
the Zoning Code or changes to the Zoning Code, meaning they are allowed to keep operating even though
their use is not necessarily allowed in the residential Zoning Districts. Also, some of these properties are
residentially zoned but have a CUG legally allowing their commercial use in said district.
In the Zoning Code, there are no commercial -type signs allowed in residential Zoning Districts. Therefore, by
Code if there were any new signs or changes needed or desired to the existing signs, anything aside from a
simple face change to the existing sign would not be allowed.
Staff have had discussions to propose a way of allowing signage for these businesses that will not be overly
bulky and within the character of the surrounding residential uses and are seeking Plan Commission
discussion/approval. Staff is proposing a way to balance signage needs of a commercial use with the
arguments that residents should not be negatively impacted by commercial uses in their neighborhood.
Understanding that the specific businesses are still legally allowed to operate in the residential Zoning District,
if signage is desired by the business they should be allowed to have a sign. At the same time, the residential
uses in the surrounding area should not be negatively impacted by any signage from a business in residential
zoning.
For these instances, staff is suggesting to treat these businesses as if they were in a B-1, BL-1 or BL-2 Zoning
District which allows the most restrictive sign sizes at three (3) percent of the wall area and ten (10) square feet
for freestanding signs (also allowing the applicable bonuses based on frontage and setback). These sizes
would be allowed with a staff level approval sign permit. If the business, due to location or frontage, would like
to exceed the three (3) percent limit for wall signs and ten (10) square feet for freestanding signs, like most of
the other business districts (13-2, B-3 and 13-4), and use the five (5) percent of wall area for signs and 30 square
feet for freestanding signs, then Plan Commission approval would be necessary so the petitioner can provide
their reasoning for the larger sign size, as well as address how/why the neighboring residential uses will not be
negatively impacted by their larger sign. The Plan Commission could consider factors like existing signage,
frontage on neighborhood street or county highway, visibility for neighbors, similar signs on similar uses, etc.
This option would still need a Sign Permit after Plan Commission approval.
Staff is seeking Plan Commission discussion and approval of the included Resolution as direction moving
forward for addressing signage for legal non -conforming commercial uses in residential Zoning Districts and for
CUG for commercial uses in residential Zoning Districts.

RESOLUTION #P.C. 025-2025
SIGNAGE ALLOWANCES FOR LEGAL NON -CONFORMING COMMERCIAL USES AND FOR
COMMERCIAL CONDITIONAL USE GRANT USES IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
REVIEW POLICY
WHEREAS, Article XVI of the Municipal Code regulates signage throughout the City, and
WHEREAS, In the Zoning Code there are no commercial -type signs listed as being allowed in residential zoning
districts, and
WHEREAS, There are businesses in some of the residential districts that are legally operating, classified as legal
non -conforming uses, as well as there are some businesses in some of the residential districts that are legally
operating since they have been previously granted a Conditional Use Grant (CUG), and
WHEREAS, Legal non -conforming use are uses that were allowed to operate without a change in use since the
inception of the Zoning Code or changes to the Zoning Code, meaning they are allowed to keep operating even
though their use is not necessarily allowed in the residential zoning districts, and
WHEREAS, By current Code, if there were any new sign or changes needed or desired to existing signs at a legal
non -conforming businesses or a CUG approved business in a residential district, anything aside from a simple
face change to the existing sign, would not be allowed, and
WHEREAS, Staff is proposing a way to balance signage needs of a commercial use with the goal that residents
should not be negatively impacted by commercial uses in their neighborhood.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approved the policy change to allow limited signage
for legal non -conforming commercial uses in residential zoning districts and for CUG approved uses in residential
zoning districts subject to the following:
1. Legal non -conforming commercial uses in residential zoning districts and CUG approved uses in
residential zoning districts shall be allowed wall signs on the facade(s) of the building abutting a public
right-of-way of three (3) percent of the wall area, identical to those allowed in the B-1, BL-1 or BL-2
Zoning Districts. These signs require a Sign Permit.
2. Legal non -conforming commercial uses in residential zoning districts and for CUG approved uses in
residential zoning districts shall be allowed ten (10) square feet for freestanding signs, with possible
frontage and setback bonuses, identical to those allowed in the B-1, BL-1 or BL-2 Zoning Districts. These
signs require a Sign Permit.
3. If larger signs are sought by the business due to other unique circumstances, they can apply for Plan
Commission review/approval to possibly be allowed signage similar to that allowed in the B-2, B-3 and B-
4 commercial districts, which can allow up to five (5) percent of the wall area for wall signs and 30 square
feet for freestanding signs, with possible frontage and setback bonuses. In these cases, the petitioner
needs to provide the Plan Commission their reasoning for the larger sign size request, as well as address
how/why the neighboring residential uses will not be negatively impacted by their larger sign. The Plan
Commission could consider factors like existing signage, frontage on neighborhood street or county
highway, visibility for neighbors, similar signs on similar uses, etc. This option would still need a Sign
Permit after Plan Commission approval.
