Lower Level Conference Room, City Hall PRESENT: Dennis Wiese, Mike Muller, and Randy Tetzlaff. Rob Vanden Noven and Captain Mike Keller were absent and excused. 1. ROLL CALL. Dennis Wiese called the meeting to order at 3:05 p.m. and noted that a quorum was present. 2. PUBLIC APPEARANCES. None. 3. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND NEW SIGNAGE THAT EXCEEDS THE SIGN REQUIRMENTS IN THE B-4, CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, 223 W. GRAND AVENUE, COLOR ARTS, INC., APPLICANT. A representative from Color Arts presented plans to upgrade and improve the signage at the Amoco Gasoline Station. British Petroleum or BP now owns Amoco, which is now in the process of changing logos and designing a more unified look at their stations. Dennis Wiese pointed out that the reason the Board and Plan Commission is reviewing the signage is because the new signs requested exceed the 20 square feet limit as per the Zoning Ordinance. Currently there is a 24’10" high pole mount sign that is 106 square feet in size along with miscellaneous building, canopy, pump, and several miscellaneous signs on the site. Two options for the pole mount sign were shown, one 13’8" tall and 62 square feet in size; the other 11’2" tall and 49.55 square feet in size. The Board members felt that recent Plan Commission action and discussion of the Unified Development Ordinance indicated that pole mount signs should be replaced with monument signs. After discussion, there was a consensus that a monument sign 32 square feet in size located at either end of the property would be preferable. The sign could be constructed either horizontally or vertically. The Board had no problems with the signage proposed for the building, the canopy, or the pumps. The proposed illumination of the BP Helios was found to be attractive. There was concern about the remaining miscellaneous signs and it was explained that BP policy is to limit such signs. A motion was made by Muller, seconded by Wiese to recommend approval of (1) monument sign no larger than 32 square feet in size that may be constructed either horizontally or vertically (to be determined by owner) and may be placed at either the west or east side of the site also as determined by owner; all other new signage as proposed is acceptable; and all remaining miscellaneous signage shall be removed at the time that the new signage is placed into service. All voting aye, motion carried. 4. REVIEW AND DISCUSS REVISIONS TO SITE PLAN FOR A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT AND GASOLINE CONVENIENCE STORE, 299 SEVEN HILLS ROAD, MARK A. WIENER, APPLICANT. The applicant requested that action on this item be postponed until the December meeting. 5. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. None. 6. ADJOURNMENT. A motion was made by Muller, seconded by Tetzlaff to adjourn. All voting aye, the motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 3:45 p.m. Lower Level Conference Room, City Hall PRESENT: Rob Vanden Noven, Mike Muller, Dennis Wiese, and Randy Tetzlaff. Captain Mike Keller was absent and excused. 1. ROLL CALL. Rob Vanden Noven called the meeting to order at 3:05 p.m. and noted that a quorum was present. 2. PUBLIC APPEARANCES. None. 3. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND ALLOWING A DETACHED GARAGE TO BE REBUILT CLOSER TO THE SIDE AND REAR LOT LINES AT 418 HILLCREST COURT, BRENDAN AND MARY BOYLE, APPLICANT. Mr. and Mrs. Boyle were present and reviewed plans to replace a 1-stall garage with a 2-stall garage. To accommodate the garage, it would need to be built only 2’ and 3’ off the lot lines instead of 6’. The garage would not be seen by the adjacent properties because it is surrounded by a retaining wall to the rear; a fence on one side and tall cedar trees on the other. The garage itself would be sided with fiber cement. The Plan Commission may allow modifications to the yard requirements and require architectural and landscaping alterations if so desired. A motion was made by Wiese, seconded by Vanden Noven to recommend that the side and rear yards be modified to allow the reconstruction of garage because of the prevailing situation where the lot is enclosed with existing screening and the lots in the neighborhood are small and narrow. All voting aye, motion carried. There was also discussion regarding the driveway, which is non-conforming. The Board noted that it couldn’t take action to provide relief. The Plan Commission will be giving this issue consideration at its next meeting. 4. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR STONE LAKE ESTATES, TOWN OF GRAFTON, ROBERT DETORO, APPLICANT. The applicant asked that this item be tabled until December. 5. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND FINAL PLAT FOR HIDDEN HILLS, BIELINSKI DEVELOPMENT, APPLICANT. The applicant asked that this item be tabled until a future meeting. 6. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. None. 7. ADJOURNMENT. A motion was made by Keller, seconded by Tetzlaff to adjourn. All voting aye, the motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 3:20 p.m. Lower Level Conference Room, City Hall PRESENT: Rob Vanden Noven, Mike Muller, Captain Mike Keller, and Randy Tetzlaff. Dennis Wiese was absent and excused. 1. ROLL CALL. Rob Vanden Noven called the meeting to order at 3:05 p.m. and noted that a quorum was present. 2. PUBLIC APPEARANCES. None. 3. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CONDOMINIUM PLAT FOR KENDALS PORT II, 1441 GARAY LANE, KENNETH MILLER, APPLICANT. Randy explained that the City previously approved a site plan for this property and the building was originally proposed as a 16-unit apartment structure. Two other buildings immediately to the north were built as condominiums. The owner would now like to convert the building to a condominium. This is really an "after-the-fact" situation, since the owner has already recorded a condo plat, however, our ordinance requires plat approval by the City. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Muller to recommend approval of a condominium plat for Kendals Port II. All voting aye, motion carried. 4. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND TEMPORARY SALES OFFICE AND CONSTRUCTION STORAGE, LAKE RIDGE SUBDIVISION, BROOKSTONE HOMES, APPLICANT. Randy informed the Board that Brookstone had previously requested and received approval to place a temporary sales office in the first phase of the Lake Ridge Development. An opinion from the City Attorney states that although our zoning ordinance does not list a sales office of a construction storage area as a permitted or accessory use, prior Plan Commission action deems this a temporary use that may not be allowed longer than nine months. A representative from Brookstone Homes was present to explain that the mobile sales office would be placed on lot 84, adjacent to their new model under construction. It would be 14’ x 44’ in size; be setback 25’; and have a concrete walk leading to the entrance. The construction storage unit would be located on lot 88; be 8’ x 20’ in size; be setback 25’; and have only a gravel walkway. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Muller to recommend approval of a temporary sales office on lot 84 as proposed and a construction storage unit on lot 88 as proposed; both units shall be removed within 9 months of their placement. All voting aye, motion carried. It was recommended that a site plan of lots 84 and 88 showing placement of the mobile units be shown to the Plan Commission. 5. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CONDITIONAL USE GRANT TO PERMIT A TEMPORARY CONCRETE BATCH PLANT, 901 SUNSET ROAD, ZIGNEGO READY MIX, INC., APPLICANT. A representative of Zignego Ready Mix reviewed plans for a temporary concrete batch plant. The plant is needed to make concrete for the power plant conversion project. Having this close proximity to the project will decrease the amount of truck traffic and distance they have to travel to. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Tetzlaff to recommend approval of a Conditional Use Grant to permit a concrete batch plant for a period to not exceed two years, subject to the review of the water utility; the review of the City Engineer on the truck route; and possible damage to City streets. All voting aye, motion carried. 6. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE WIESS PROPERTY, A.N. ANSAY, APPLICANT. Representatives of A.N. Ansay were present to review conceptual plans for the Weiss property. The plan includes 61 single-family lots; approximately 6 acres of condominiums; 17 acres for a future business park; and extensive areas for open space and environmental corridors with connecting walking paths. Access to the business park area would be from CTH LL; there would be connecting access to the Ansay property to the north; and a connection to Groeschel Rd. to the south. The lot sizes would be in the range of 85’ widths and 10,000 s.f. or more in area. Members discussed the importance of connecting to an improved Groeschel Rd.; that the condominiums be no more than 40 in number and that they be a mix of 2- and 4-unit buildings designed with some site creativity. The area shown, as floodplain would eventually be used for stormwater detention and may also be developed with some additional single-family lots. A motion was made by Muller, seconded by Keller to approve the concept development plan as presented. All voting aye, motion carried. 7. DISCUSSION OF NEW DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR BUILDING AND SITE PLANS. Mike Muller agreed to re-draft the guidelines using the City of San Obispo, CA as a guide. He will have something ready for the Board to review and discuss at the December meeting. No further action taken. 8. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. None. 9. ADJOURNMENT. A motion was made by Keller, seconded by Tetzlaff to adjourn. All voting aye, the motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 4:20 p.m. Lower Level Conference Room, City Hall PRESENT: Dennis Wiese, Mike Muller, Rob Vanden Noven, and Randy Tetzlaff. Captain Mike Keller was absent and excused. 1. ROLL CALL. Dennis Wiese called the meeting to order at 3:05 p.m. and noted that a quorum was present. 2. PUBLIC APPEARANCES. None. 3. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND BUILDING FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT FOR BALANCE, INC., 122 S. WEBSTER STREET, BONESTROO & ASSOCIATES, APPLICANT. Craig Modahl reviewed plans to reface the front façade of his building and noted that is deteriorating. He also noted plans to add wheelchair accessibility to the rear of the building. No changes would be made to the site. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Wiese, to approve the building plans as submitted. All voting aye, motion carried. 4. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR J & H HEATING, 1220 MINERAL SPRINGS DRIVE, AMERICAN DESIGN AND BUILD, INC., APPLICANT. Craig Sadownikow presented plans for a new storage building to be constructed near the rear of the J& H property. It would be metal building over a raised stone block foundation. Storm water would be either drained to an existing catch basin or sheet drained to the existing grassy area. Board members expressed concern about the proposed graveled area and the lack of landscaping. The existing landscaping was planted before the current ordinance was in effect. A motion was made by Muller, seconded by Tetzlaff, to approve the building and site plan contingent upon the submittal of a landscaping plan that conforms to current ordinance requirements, and that the graveled area in the rear be paved. All voting aye, motion carried. 5. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR ALOHA AUTOMOTIVE, 810 MARITIME DRIVE, THOMAS DESIGN, APPLICANT. Tom Sugars and Tommy White were present to discuss plans to construct four (4) new buildings at Aloha and noted that the construction would be done in phases. Under the direction and approval of the WDNR, a wetland area would be filled and another would be expanded. Decorative tile would be continued around the base of the attached buildings, except where it is shielded by slatted security fencing. The other storage buildings would use the same colored banding as the existing storage buildings. Concerns were raised regarding the location of tall building near the street; drainage; the need for landscaping calculations; and the need for curbing on the west side of the parking lot. It was agreed that curbing would not be necessary if the security fencing was installed as shown on the plan. If the fencing were relocated closer to the street, then curbing would be required. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Muller, to approve the building and site plan contingent upon reversing the location of the rear storage buildings, a review of the drainage by the City Engineer, and submittal of landscaping calculations. All voting aye, motion carried. 6. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND FINAL SITE PLAN FOR ST. JOHN’S LUTHERAN CHURCH AND ACADEMY, 217 FREEMAN DRIVE, SMIES & ASSOCIATIES, APPLICANT. Pastor Klieve presented a final site plan for the new St. John’s church property on Freeman Drive. He noted that a final plan had been requested showing the location of the second access onto CTH LL, a landscaping plan, parking and proposed signage. New sign faces would be inserted in to the two existing sign structures. The second access as shown would not be constructed until the CTH LL bridge was removed and the road was lowered in 2007-08 and would not be needed before that. The existing landscaping has not been maintained and an inventory completed shows that the existing plantings exceed the requirements of the ordinance. Parking would be expanded in the front lot, however, only minimally. A motion was made by Wiese, seconded by Vanden Noven, to approve the site plan contingent upon approval of the driveway location onto CTH LL by the Ozaukee County Highway Commission and that the parking lot expansion and new driveway minimize the removal of existing trees or plantings. All voting aye, motion carried. 7. REVIEW REVISED CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT IN TOWN OFGRAFTON, FIDUCIARY REAL ESTATE, APPLICANT. Craig Raddatz reviewed the concept for their 25-acre parcel in the Town of Grafton. He noted that the plan was originally approved almost one-year ago. He also advised the Board that this company was excited about the proposal for the lands to the south and would now like to develop their remaining lands to the east with single-family lots. He requested that the proposed street running parallel to STH 32 be eliminated in favor of access from their property on the west. Some concerns expressed by Wiese and Tetzlaff were regarding the density, the transition to adjoining properties, lack of greenery, and the appearance of the buildings on top of the hill from STH 32 and E. Sauk Rd. Muller and Vanden Noven expressed support of the plan as presented. No action taken. 8. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THE WOODS AT WHITE PINE, NICK DIDIER, APPLICANT. It was noted that no action would be taken on the Plat. The issue of access and utilities across PWSD property must first be addressed and then the county park lands before action. A revised plat was also presented that showed 10 single-family lots replacing the area originally designated for condominiums. Lots 10 and 11 would be single-family served with sewer grinder pumps. Over 4 acres of the project is delineated as wetlands. Discussion followed regarding the size and location of the proposed park, safe passage for pedestrians across CTH LL, access to lots 10 and 11, and how the conservancy areas will be regulated. The Board concurred with the inclusion of the single-family lots in place of the condominiums. No action taken. 9. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CONCEPT PLAN FOR MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, SUNSET ROAD, JR INVESTMENTS, APPLICANT. This land is still in the Town of Port Washington, surrounded by lower-income rental housing and senior housing on the west, the industrial park to the south, and 3 residential homes and the We Energies facility on the east. Rental housing is likely the highest and best use of the property. Up to 40 units are proposed in five 8-unit buildings. The bulk of the site is delineated wetlands. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Muller to approve the concept plan in terms of an appropriate land use and density. The plan should however, contain smaller buildings to allow for more site design flexibility, the storm detention ponds should be features of the site plan, and efforts should be made to retain as much of the existing trees and vegetation as possible. All voting aye, motion carried. 10. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND NEW PARKING LOT, 407 E. JACKSON STREET, NEWPORT SHORES, APPLICANT. The lot, which had been gravel for years, was paved last year without being reviewed and approved. The layout of the parking area does not allow for vehicle circulation. In addition, no landscaping is provided. Due to the length of the Board meeting, no representatives for the owner are present. The Board discussed the areas around the lot including the E. Jackson Street R.O.W. and the area to the east. Both areas are in need of clean-up and improvement. It was decided that while the lot needed to be reconfigured, staff should meet with the owner to discuss ways to enhance the surrounding areas. No action taken. 11. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN GUIDELINES. No action taken. Members will forward comments to the Department of Planning. 12. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. None. 13. ADJOURNMENT. Lower Level Conference Room, City Hall PRESENT: Dennis Wiese, Mike Muller, Rob Vanden Noven, Captain Mike Keller, and Randy Tetzlaff. 1. ROLL CALL. Dennis Wiese called the meeting to order at 3:05 p.m. and noted that a quorum was present. 2. PUBLIC APPEARANCES. None. 3. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND NEW SILO, 725 SCHMITZ DRIVE, SCHMITZ READY MIX, INC., APPLICANT. Jerry Kultgen reviewed his company’s plans to erect a new silo to hold byproducts used in the concrete making process. The new silo will be similar to an adjacent silo; however, will be higher at approximately 53’ in height; well below the 85’ height limit in the Industrial Zoning District. Board members noted that the most of the site is not visible from the adjoining areas and is clearing an industrial area. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Wiese to recommend approval of the new silo plan as presented. All voting aye, motion carried. 4. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND NEW MONUMENT SIGN FOR LINCOLN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, 1325 THEIS LANE, SIGN EFFECTZ, APPLICANT. A representative from Sign Effectz reviewed plans to erect a new monument sign in the grassy area in front of Lincoln Elementary. The sign would be similar to the one in front of TJ Middle School. This one however, would have an aluminum skit that would hide the pole mount and appear to be a monument sign. The Board liked the appearance of a monument, however, were concerned about possible damage to the base. A motion was made by Wiese, seconded by Tetzlaff to recommend approval of the sign as presented subject to a planting bed being added to prevent damage to the aluminum base. All voting aye, motion carried. 5. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR HIDDEN HILLS SUBDIVSION, BIELINSKI DEVELOPMENT, APPLICANT. Joe Maschek, representing Bielinski, presented a preliminary plat for Hidden Hills. He discussed changes to the street widths as requested by the City Engineer and reviewed the new street profiles. Otherwise, the plat conforms to the approved GDP. Street names and their sequencing were also discussed. It was agreed that the names would follow a "prairie" theme, however, local emergency protective service personnel would review them. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Muller to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat noting that new street names and sequencing would be reviewed and approved by City Staff. All voting aye, motion carried. 6. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR LAND OWNED BY PAUL SCHNEIDER. Paul Schneider and Tom Sykora presented a concept plan for land owned by Mr. Schneider. Plans for the property have been revised several times after discussions with staff. Plans now propose commercial development along STH 32 and CTH LL; 4-family condominiums to the west; 2-family units further west; and single family detached condos along existing Town of Port Washington homes. Storm water detention areas would be located in the center of the site. One public street would divide the commercial and residential uses. The remainder of the property would have private streets. Although a similar floor plan would be used, different building elevations would be used. Board members suggested that more clustering be done; more walkways or pedestrian connections are shown; and more mixing of building types. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Wiese to recommend approval of the concept plan with the proposed land uses, two access points, and commercial development along the highway. In addition, it is suggested that the applicant refine the street layout and building styles and locations. All votng aye, motion carried. 7. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND REVISED CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR LAND OWNED BY BRIAN BEHRENS. Brian Behrens appeared with a revised concept plan for his land. He noted that the new plan had significant staff input. In particular, he noted that low density; 2-family is shown along the highway at the entrance of the development. These would be high-end units whose design and location would be approved by the Commission. Otherwise, he noted the connection to Fiduciary, the shorter street connections, walkways, the small mini-park in the center of the development, and storm detention areas. The new plan would provide a nice transition to the adjoining town property. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Muller to approve the revised site plan contingent upon minor changes being made to further delineate pedestrian connections and other open space areas. All voting aye, motion carried. 8. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN GUIDELINES. No action taken. Members will forward comments to the Department of Planning. 9. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. None. 10. ADJOURNMENT. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Tetzlaff to adjourn the meeting at 5:15 p.m. All voting aye, the meeting was adjourned.

Lower Level Conference Room, City Hall PRESENT: Dennis Wiese, Mike Muller, Rob Vanden Noven, and Randy
Tetzlaff. Captain Mike Keller was excused and absent. 1. ROLL CALL. Dennis Wiese called the special meeting of the Design
Review Board to order at 3:05 p.m. and noted that a quorum was present.
2. PUBLIC APPEARANCES. None. 3. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR HOFFMANN
HOUSE, 200 W. GRAND AVENUE, JIM READ, APPLICANT. Jim Read presented more
detailed plans for the historic renovation and restoration of the Hoffmann
House. He has presented his plans to the State Historical Society and now
is seeking approval from the City. An addition will be added to the west
elevation to enclose the stairwell for the upstairs apartments and the
porch leading to the first floor apartment will be re-created. A double
door entry will be added to the corner entrance and historically correct
stripped awnings will be added to the first floor windows. A preliminary
site plan was reviewed that showed twenty-one parking stalls along with an
enclosed dumpster corral and some landscaping. It was suggested that some
landscaping be provided along the W. Grand Avenue entrance to the parking
area. A motion was by Wiese, seconded by Muller to approve the building
façade plans as submitted and a preliminary site plan as presented
contingent upon the addition of additional landscaping or decorative
fencing along Grand Avenue. All voting aye, motion carried. Mr. Read
agreed to submit a more detailed site plan in the future. 4. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND REVISED SITE PLAN FOR CAR WASH, 1455 W. GRAND
AVENUE (REQUEST BY CITY OF PORT WASHINGTON). The request to consider a
review of the site plan is being made by City staff. Although the C.S.M.
for the property now owned by Aurora Health Care allows for the car wash
lot to have ingress and egress to the CTH LL ramp, the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation will not allow access to the close proximity
of STH 33. Access to the ramp would likely be permitted if it were aligned
with the Aurora driveway, approximately 200’ south of STH 33. Access there
would not be conducive to the car wash site plan nor would Aurora likely
agree to such access. Staff would like to consider adding a direct access
to STH 33 or W. Grand Avenue at a point equally distant from the ramp and
Culver’s driveway. After much discussion, it was concluded that the site
plan remain as approved; that the car wash will only be permitted ingress
and egress from the Culver’s driveway; and once W. Grand Avenue is
reconstructed, it will be reviewed a second ingress/egress may then be
added in a location found acceptable to both the City and State Department
of Transportation. No action taken. 5. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. None. 6. ADJOURNMENT. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by
Tetzlaff to adjourn the meeting at 4:05 p.m. All voting aye, the meeting
was adjourned.

Lower Level Conference Room, City Hall PRESENT: Dennis Wiese, Mike Muller, Rob Vanden Noven, and Randy
Tetzlaff. Captain Mike Keller was excused and absent. 1. ROLL CALL. Dennis Wiese called the meeting to order at 3:05 p.m. and
noted that a quorum was present. 2. PUBLIC APPEARANCES. None. 3. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND SITE PLAN THAT INCLUDES SECURITY FENCING
AT THE OZAUKEE COUNTY JUSTICE CENTER, 1201 S. SPRING STREET, PETER
WALDKIRCH, APPLICANT. Peter Waldkirch presented plans to construct a 10’
high security fence with 18" of razor wire, and 10’ wide gate to create a
buffer area on the north side of the existing outdoor area for prisoners.
The purpose of the fenced area is to prevent outsiders from throwing items
to the prisoners and to provide a second line of defense if the prisoners
are to be evacuated. The fenced area would only be seen from the north and
there is an existing parking lot between it and the soccer fields. A
motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Wiese to approve the security
fencing as presented. All voting aye, motion carried. 4. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND BUILDING FAÇADE MODIFICATION FOR 131 E. MAIN
STREET, VERNON BIEVER, APPLICANT. Vern and Jim Biever presented plans to
reface their existing brick building. Over the years, the brick has been
altered and some are now deteriorating, and the entire building must be
repainted often. Their proposal is to re-clad the brick with 6" smooth
cement siding; replace the metal cornices with decorative wood cornices
and brackets; add new architectural grade shingles to the tower roof; and
add fabric awnings to the lower level. There was discussion whether
narrower siding should be used because it is more historically correct, or
whether the narrower siding would show imperfections underneath. Dennis
questioned the appropriateness of the stone veneer. A motion was made
by Wiese, seconded by Vanden Noven to approve the building façade
modifications as presented, except that 5" wide siding is to be used. All
voting aye except Muller, motion carried. 5. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW PARKING LOT, 1611 SUNSET
ROAD, KLEEN TEST, APPLICANT. A representative from Keller Structures
presented a site plan for a new parking lot for Kleen Test. The lot would
be constructed on property currently owned by We Energies for which Kleen
Test has received approval from. The lot would be curbed and would be
sheet drained to the existing ditch. Leid’s who was responsible for the
other project landscaping, will be preparing a landscaping plan for this
site. However, We Energies has some limitations has to what plantings may
used and where. Two stalls shown next to the tower may be lost because the
transmission company may want additional room around the tower. Kleen Test
seeks plan approval now so that construction may begin. A motion was
made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Muller to approve the site plan for the
parking lot with the understanding that a landscaping plan will be
submitted prior to the completion and use of the lot. All voting aye,
motion carried. 6. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND SITE PLAN FOR AN OUTDOOR DECK AND CONDITIONAL
USE GRANT TO PERMIT OUTDOOR DINING, 101 E. MAIN STREET, JOSEPH ZANKEL,
APPLICANT. Joe Zankel presented a plan for a new outdoor deck to be
constructed at the southwest corner of the Port Hotel. The area is
currently used as two (2) handicapped parking stalls. The deck would be
stamped concrete with wood rails and be surrounded with landscape
plantings. There would also be some small perimeter lighting around the
deck. He also discussed plans to revise the parking area by reversing the
traffic pattern; change the ingress/egress; and add some planting beds.
Longer-term plans include resurfacing the parking lot and enclosing the
dumpsters. The Board liked the outdoor dining concept but had concerns
with the parking lot plans, particularly the traffic flow. A motion was
made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Muller to approve the site plan with the
following changes: the parking lot be revised to reflect a change in
parking stall location and traffic flow; new landscaped islands will be
constructed as shown on the revised plan; City staff will review ways to
include adding one (1) handicapped on-street parking stall; a second phase
of the site would include resurfacing and a dumpster enclosure; and a
revised plan will be redrawn and submitted to the Plan Commission for
review and approval. All voting aye, motion carried. 7. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND MINOR SITE MODIFICATION FOR HARBOR SQUARE, 110
S. WISCONSIN STREET, HAAG MULLER, APPLICANT. Dennis reported that no
approvals will be required since the modifications will only involve
reversing the direction of a previously approved sidewalk ramp. 8. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. None. 9. ADJOURNMENT. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by
Tetzlaff to adjourn the meeting at 4:15 p.m. All

Lower Level Conference Room, City Hall PRESENT: Dennis Wiese, Mike Muller, Rob Vanden Noven, Captain Mike
Keller, and Randy Tetzlaff 1. ROLL CALL. Dennis Wiese called the meeting to order at 3:05 p.m. and
noted that a quorum was present. 2. PUBLIC APPEARANCES. None. 3. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND BUILDING MODIFICATIONS TO BEANIE’S
RESTAURANT AND CANTINA, 100-102 E. GRAND AVENUE, HAAG MULLER ARCHITECTS,
APPLICANT. Brad from Haag Muller reviewed the plans for handling the
emergency situation for removing the rear addition to Beanie’s due to an
unstable wall. He noted the Plan Commission had suggested that salvaged
brick be used on the west elevation. Unfortunately, there is not enough of
such brick. However, the contractor built the new was with stamped
concrete. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Wiese to
recommend allowing the painting of the stamped concrete walls with a color
to match the existing brick; requiring that the paint on the second floor
brick walls be removed and cleaned; and to recommend that the second floor
window openings be reopened, or the replaced with another material to
match the existing brick. All voting aye except Muller who abstained.
Motion carried. 4. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND NEW SIGN FOR THE PORT WASHINGTON STATE BANK,
206 N. FRANKLIN STREET, PRIMECAST ADVERTISING, APPLICANT. Tom Lubnar
representing the applicant, presented plans for a new sign that would
replace the existing bank sign. The new sign would project the same
distance from the building, however, would not be as tall, and therefore
be smaller (14 sq. ft.) in total size. The new sign would incorporate an
electronic message board and would not be a scrolling message. A motion
was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Tetzlaff to recommend approval of
the new sign as presented. All voting aye, motion carried. 5. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND MINOR BUILDING FAÇADE MODIFICATIONS TO THE
MARINA BUILDING, 106 LAKE STREET, DENNIS CHERNY, APPLICANT. After some
discussion about the plans to add awnings to the marina building, it was
agreed that more information and sizing is needed from the
supplier/installer. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by
Wiese, to table this request until a time the applicant can provide more
information. All voting aye, motion carried. 6. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND REVISED SITE PLAN FOR THE HISTORIC LIGHT
STATION, 311 JOHNSON STREET, PORT WASHINGTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY,
APPLICANT. Linda Nenn, representing the Society, presented a revised site
plan that included a proposed oil house, well, and location for the
lifeboat. The site plan if approved, will not be implemented immediately,
but will be a future plan as funds are raised by the Society. Historically
speaking, the site included both the oil house and well and the proposed
locations match their previous site locations. The inclusion of these
items satisfies recommendations of the National Park Service. Also
discussed was a future picket fence that may some day surround the site. A
commemorative brick walkway would lead to the well site. Board members
generally agreed with replacing both the oil house and well, however,
there was some disagreement on the appropriateness of the lifeboat. The
oil house and boat would be in the setback and it was noted that the Plan
Commission has the authority to approve accessory buildings less than 150
sq. ft. in size in the setback area if have some architectural
significance. The permanent placement of the boat on the site may not be
historically correct and some members were hesitant to see the boat left
outside year-round and covered with tarps, etc. The boat may also fall
under the definition of outdoor "storage" if such, may not be permitted.
A motion was made by Wiese, seconded by Vanden Noven to recommend
approval of the revised site plan including the proposed oil house, well,
and picket fence. All voting aye, except Tetzlaff who abstained. Motion
carried. No recommendation was made regarding the lifeboat. 7. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND BUILDING, SITE, AND OPERATIONAL PLAN TO PLACE
MOBILE OFFICE UNITS IN THE 100 BLOCK OF CHESTNUT STREET, WASHINGTON GROUP
INTERNATIONAL, APPLICANT. Ed Dawson, representing the applicant and
Larry Stephens, representing We Energies were present to review plans for
placing mobile administrative offices along Chestnut Street. Up to four
doublewide units would be placed on the site; be surrounded with 7’ high
chain link fencing; be hooked up to City sewer and water; and be on-site
until project completion in 2008. The Board questioned whether alternative
locations were reviewed and was security fencing actually needed. It was
also noted that the plan is subject to a 20’ setback or average of the
block. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Wiese to
recommend approval of the building, site, and operational plan contingent
upon the following: 20’ setback or block average; that landscaping as per
zoning ordinance be provided on the front and west side of the site to
buffer the adjacent residence; that the parking area may remain with a
gravel surface; that security fencing may be provided at a height of 6’
and no barbed wire allowed; and that a semi-opaque screening be added to
the fencing. All voting aye, motion carried. 8. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND A CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE SCHMIDT
FARM PROPERTY, MILLER ENGINEERS SCIENTISTS, APPLICANT. John Sigwart
representing Miller Engineers and Pete Didier, landowner, reviewed a
conceptual development plan for approximately 63 acres of land fronting
along CTH LL and north of both the former Cook Composites and Polymers
property and the CTH LL ramp. The development could occur in 5 phases with
the first being west of Spinnaker and the school district property. The
second phase would likely be just northeast of and tie into the new Hidden
Hills subdivision. This would provide that development with a second
access point. Each phase could be developed individually. Approximately
102 lots are shown ranging in size from 12,000 – 17,000 SF and average
100’ in width. The deep ravine and navigable stream are left as
undeveloped outlots. There was a question on how the City would like these
areas would be owned and maintained. There was also concern about the
transition between this development and Hidden Hills. Due to the
topography, and size of the parcel, high-density housing or town homes
were suggested. A motion was made by Tetzlaff, seconded by Vanden Noven
to recommend approval of the concept development plan subject to: That
development be done in phases with the area near Spinnaker being #1 and
area near Hidden Hills as #2; that transition area adjacent to Hidden
Hills needs review and may need to accommodate higher densities or other
land uses; there is a need to connect each phase with pedestrian ways;
that City staff needs to review how the oulots and drainage areas are to
be owned and maintained; that City staff need to meet with the School
District to discuss access and utility issues; and there is agreement that
alternative street designs may be appropriate including grassy cul-de-sacs
and brows. All voting aye, motion carried. 9. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND A CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR LAND ALONG
STH 32 IN THE TOWN OF GRAFTON, CITIZENS-WEIS CORPORATION, APPLICANT. Ron
Weis representing the applicant, and Brian Behrens landowner, presented a
concept plan for approximately 75 acres along and west of CTH 32 in the
Town of Grafton. A concept plan is now being presented because of the
plans to reconstruct STH 32. The landowner has acquired an adjacent 5-acre
parcel and now has access rights to the new road where cut in the median
will be built along with turning lanes. This is really a "preliminary"
concept plan because the land is not yet in the sewer service area and
what is being sought is approval of the proposed land uses rather than
street layout, etc. Issues related to the adjacent landowner and the
impact of Trans 233 must be dealt with. 117 lots are shown; approximately
13,000 SF in size; and lot widths in the range of 95’ –100’; as well as
condominium use near the entry point. The land will likely be annexed with
other lands to the north, all in the Town of Grafton. A motion was made
by Wiese, seconded by Tetzlaff to approve the concept development plan
subject to: Agreement with the land uses as shown; a connection with the Fiduciary
development to the north should be sought; a more detailed concept plan
should be presented for review in the future once more information is
obtained. All voting aye, motion carried. 10. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. None. 11. ADJOURNMENT. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Mike
Muller to adjourn the meeting at 6:10 p.m. All
Table of Contents
Lower Level Conference Room, City Hall PRESENT: Mike Muller, Rob Vanden Noven, and Randy Tetzlaff 1. ROLL CALL. Randy Tetzlaff called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m.
and noted that a quorum was present. He noted that Dennis Wiese (chairman)
and Mike Keller were absent and excused. 2. PUBLIC APPEARANCES. Police Chief Ed Rudolph stated his department’s
concern that the proposed Hidden Hills subdivision has only one street
that has access to STH 33. He noted that in the past, the City has
approved projects, most notably Bley Park Estates with only one access
point. This has not only been a nuisance for the residents, but presents
problems for emergency vehicles. Since Captain Mike Keller is out-of-town
and unable to be present, the Chief would like the Board to be aware of
the Police Department’s concern and its objection to the design as
presented. 3. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND SITE PLAN FOR A TEMPORARY GREENHOUSE AT
1629 N. WISCONSIN STREET, DREWS TRUE VALUE, APPLICANT. Paul Drews
presented a plan to erect a temporary 18’x 48’ greenhouse in the parking
lot on the south side of the existing hardware store. It would set-up
around April 15th and removed by June 15th. Some
plants would still be displayed in front of the store entrance. The actual
placement of the greenhouse would be dependent on the location of the fire
exit of the store. It is possible that 2 additional parking stalls may be
lost. A motion was made by Muller, seconded by Vanden Noven to
recommend approval of the site plan as proposed for the temporary
greenhouse. All voting aye, motion carried. 4. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND BUILDING, SITE, AND OPERATIONAL PLAN TO PLACE
MOBILE OFFICE UNITS IN THE 100 BLOCK OF CHESTNUT STREET, WASHINGTON GROUP
INTERNATIONAL, APPLICANT. The applicant requested that action on this
item be deferred until the next regularly scheduled meeting. 5. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND REZONING OF
PROPERTY FOR THE PROPOSED HIDDEN HILLS SUBDIVISION, VANDEWALLE &
ASSOCIATES, APPLICANT. Joe Maschek of Vandewalle and Steve Bruskiewicz of
Bielinski reviewed the General Development Plan for the proposed Hidden
Hills subdivision. The plan proposes RS-4 zoning for the singe family
lots; RS-5 for the duplex condominiums; B-3 zoning for the commercial
areas; and with an OPD overlay for the entire development. The OPD will
allow for the design flexibility needed to create a distinct development
that allows for pedestrian-scaled and environmentally sensitive
requirements. Creative use of setbacks and building massing can be
achieved with the OPD overlay. Some changes made to the design since the Plan Commission reviewed the
concept plan: some land to the east was omitted that adds 4 additional
single family lots; 2 tot lots have been provided for; proposed side yards
are now shown as 7’ and 8’; the arterial gateway provisions will apply to
the commercial development; all sidewalks will be 5" in width; an
architect is working on new home designs that can be built on the proposed
lots; and an example of the proposed covenants and restrictions are
provided for review. It was noted that a Land Trust will oversee the
enforcement of the covenants and guarantee maintenance of the open space
areas. The developer would like coach lamps for each home rather than
overhead streetlights. Rob said he would need to review whether this was
possible. Board members discussed the plan and also heard input from Nick
and Pete Didier, and John Sigwart. They agreed that B-2 zoning would be
more appropriate that B-3 zoning. The Didier’s own the adjoining property
to the northeast through which another street would be built, thereby
addressing the concerns raised by the Police Department. They are
interested in developing the property and agreed to work with Bielinski
and their respective engineers. A motion was made by Vanden Noven,
seconded by Muller, to recommend approval of the General Development Plan
and rezoning of the property to RS-4, RS-5, and B-2 with an OPD overlay.
All voting aye, motion carried. 6. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. None. 7. ADJOURNMENT. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Mike
Muller to adjourn the meeting at 4:12 p.m. All
voting aye, the meeting was adjourned. Special Meeting Lower Level Conference Room, City Hall PRESENT: Rob Vanden Noven, Captain Mike Keller, and Randy Tetzlaff.
Also present was Architect Barry Genson and school district
representatives Bob Woelful and Dan Krueger. 1. ROLL CALL. Randy Tetzlaff called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m.
and noted that a quorum was present. He noted that Dennis Wiese and Mike
Muller were excused. 2. PUBLIC APPEARANCES. None. 3. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND BUILIDING AND SITE PLAN IMPROVEMENTS AT
THE PORT WASHINGTON-SAUKVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT ATHLETIC FACILITY, BONESTROO
ROSENE ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, APPLICANT. Barry Genson presented plans for
the renovation of the high school athletic facilities. Included in the
plans are the demolition of the existing visitor bleachers, tennis courts,
football field lighting, two existing storage buildings, fencing, and some
track and field areas; the installation of new visitor bleachers, new
track and field areas; the renovation of new restrooms; and the
construction of a concession stand, a new utility building, fencing, new
lighting and a new sound system. Board members agreed that the new plans were a major improvement over
the existing conditions. Mike questioned whether there is sufficient area
for emergency vehicles. The Fire Department will review the plan prior to
Plan Commission. Randy expressed some concern regarding the new utility
shed, noting that the Plan Commission generally prefers a 4’ high masonry
foundation for metal buildings. School representatives countered by saying
that this would be an additional $6-8,000 expense for a building not
highly visible. Rob stated that the City should apply the same standard
for all buildings whether they are public or private. The decision
regarding whether to require the masonry foundation is best left to the
Plan Commission. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Keller
to approve the building and site plan as presented. All voting aye, the
motion carried. 4. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. None. 5. ADJOURNMENT. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Mike
Keller to adjourn the meeting at 3:30 p.m. All voting aye, the meeting was
adjourned. Lower Level Conference Room, City Hall PRESENT: Dennis Wiese, Mike Muller, Rob Vanden Noven, and Randy
Tetzlaff. 1. ROLL CALL. Dennis Wiese called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m. and
noted that a quorum was present. He noted that Mike Keller was excused. 2. PUBLIC APPEARANCES. None. 3. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND AMENDING THE FLOODPLAIN ZONING MAP TO
REMOVE LANDS FROM THE FLOODPLAIN, WE ENERGIES, APPLICANT. Sue
Schumacher and Wayne Schumm, representing We Energies, presented
information on the hydraulic analysis of proposed construction of the Port
Washington Power Plant. Some of the lands surrounding the plant are in the
floodplain and to do new construction, those areas need to be removed from
the floodplain. The analysis done by CDM Consultants concluded that the
proposed bypass channel and weir would divert enough water to protect the
new plant improvements during a 100-year event. They noted that while the
new bypass will be constructed to handle more water and therefore, remove
more areas from the floodplain, the WDNR preferred that some water is
continued in the Mineral Springs channel and the area is improved for
habitat. Board members noted that while the analysis shows that the plant and
surrounding areas will be protected, a map is needed that shows where the
delineation of the new 100-year floodplain boundary. Also, the City should
work to persuade the WDNR to allow more water to be diverted so that more
areas could be protected from a 100-year event. A motion was made by
Tetzlaff, seconded by Wiese to recommend that the floodplain zoning map be
amended to remove lands around the power plant as per the hydraulic study
and that a new map be prepared and presented to the Plan Commission that
delineates a new floodplain boundary. All voting aye, motion carried. 4. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CONCEPTUAL PLAN FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF 200 W.
GRAND AVENUE, HOFFMANN HOUSE LLC, APPLICANT. Jim Read was present to
present conceptual plans for the redevelopment of the historic Hoffmann
House, a.k.a. the former Lams’ building. Plans include constructing 10
2-story units on the second and third floor, and one unit, perhaps a
watchman’s unit on the first floor. The remaining portion of the first
floor would be retail, or possibly a restaurant. The exterior would be
restored using National Historic Preservation standards. He requested
input regarding the reuse or renewal of an eastside addition; the possible
reconstruction of the historic canopy on the Grand Avenue side of the
building; and the reopening of the window wells. Board members were
generally supportive of these ideas; however, each would require further
research. It was noted that once the project and details are known
further, a final building and site plan would need to be reviewed and
approved by both the Design Review Board and the Plan Commission.
Clarification was sought regarding the need for the project to conform to
current parking and landscaping codes. There was a consensus that those
regulations should not apply to this project. A motion was made by
Wiese, seconded by Vanden Noven to approve the conceptual redevelopment
plan as presented. All voting aye, motion carried. 5. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CONDITIONAL USE GRANT FOR 1427 W. GRAND AVENUE
TO PERMIT NEW CAR WASH, THOMAS DESIGN, APPLICANT. Tom Sugars, architect
and proposed owners, Cory and Darrell Davis presented plans for a new car
wash on the vacant land immediately west of Culver’s. The car wash would
be a fully automated "state of the art" facility where the vehicles would
drive-in; the doors would close automatically; and the wash equipment
would move around the vehicles. The full masonry building would resemble a
new facility in Random Lake with hip roofs and dimensional shingles. The
vacuums and the dyers would be located in the front where the vehicles
exit to reduce noise. The approximately 60% of the site would be green
space and landscaping. Access to the car wash would be via the drive
across Culver’s and connecting to Aurora. Although the facility would be
open 24-hours per day, Board members felt it would not be a problem
neighboring residential uses. To the south where the Breeze Cove
Apartments are, the doors would always be closed expect to let a vehicle
in and there is extensive landscape buffering and distance between. To the
northeast is a single family residence, however, it currently is located
next to Tri Par Convenience Store where the gas pumps are open 24-hours
per day. The Board found the owners and architect to be open to all
suggestions. A motion was made by Tetzlaff, seconded by Vanden Noven to
recommend a Conditional Use Grant subject to the following: 1) the
building and site plan be amended to include an enclosed trash area at the
southeast corner of the site; that 3-stalls be provided for employees or
visitors; a monument or low height sign be located in the front setback
area north of the access road; that lighting be added which directs light
only onto the site; that the side dormers be reduced in size; that the
building colors reflect earth tones; that the side driving lanes be
stripped to handle bypass vehicles; and that the existing driveway onto
the northbound ramp be used on a temporary basis for construction. 2) that
the CUG permit 24-hour operations as long as the southern overhead doors
remain closed except to allow vehicles in to be washed. All voting aye,
motion carried. 6. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. It was noted that the request to consider the Site
Plan for the school district athletic facility was withdrawn because the
architects were not ready. It was further requested that a special meeting
be held (Monday, February 17) to discuss the request before the next Plan
Commission. Board members were generally not available for a quorum and
some felt that scheduling a special meeting as requested would be setting
a precedent. No special meeting was scheduled. 7. ADJOURNMENT. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Mike
Muller to adjourn the meeting at 4:40 p.m. All voting aye, the meeting was
adjourned. Lower Level Conference Room, City Hall PRESENT: Dennis Wiese, Mike Muller, Rob Vanden Noven, Mike Keller, and Randy Tetzlaff. 1. ROLL CALL. Dennis Wiese called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m. and noted that a quorum was present. Also present representing St. John’s Lutheran Church was Pastor Klieve, Tom Miller, and architect Jeff Smies. 2. PUBLIC APPEARANCES. None. 3. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CONDITIONAL USE GRANT TO PERMIT USE OF PROPERTY AT 217 FREEMAN DRIVE FOR A CHURCH, SCHOOL, AND DAY CARE, ST. JOHN’S LUTHERAN CHURCH, APPLICANT. Tom Miller explained that the church has an accepted offer from Cook Composites to purchase the property contingent on the City rezoning the property to residential and approving a Conditional Use Grant to allow conversion of the property to a church, school, and day care. Jeff Smies explained that the office area would be converted to the school; the lower lab area to a day care; the upper lab area would become the Fellowship Hall; and in the future, a new Sanctuary would be constructed in the middle section and protrude to the west. The conversion would be done in phases and if the existing church facility on Foster Street is sold, worship would be held in the Fellowship until the new Sanctuary is completed. He also reviewed the site plan and proposed parking. Current enrollment in the school is 20’s and the pre-school has 18 children/session, however, both are expected to grow once the new facility is made available. The Board expressed concerns about the need for a second ingress/egress along CTH LL and the navigable stream on the north edge of the site. Mike Keller noted that while the second entry will be a necessity, it would not be needed immediately. That time would be when enrollment grew or prior to the holding of worship services on the site. It was suggested that a traffic study be done. Randy Tetzlaff explained further that the process to approve this project is unusual. Due to the conditions in the offer to purchase, the church needs to know soon whether or not the City will approve their request. At this point in time, both the Design Review Board and Plan Commission can only review the plan in conceptual form. He suggested that a condition of the CUG be that a final building and site plan be submitted prior to work being done on the project. After further discussion, a motion was made by Wiese, seconded by Vanden Noven to recommend a Conditional Use Grant subject to the following: 1) a secondary ingress/egress shall be provided along CTH LL and that timetable for its construction to be submitted with a final site plan; and 2) a final building and site plan shall be submitted for review and approval prior to the issuance of a building permit; plan shall include design of secondary ingress/egress, parking lot layout, lighting plan, signage, landscaping, and building façade modifications. All voting aye, motion carried. 4. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. None. 5. ADJOURNMENT. A motion was made by Vanden Noven, seconded by Mike Muller to adjourn the meeting at 4:10 p.m. All voting aye, the meeting was adjourned. |
