REVIEW AND APPROVE REVISED BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR THE HOFFMANN HOUSE, 200 WEST GRAND AVENUE, JIM READ, APPLICANT: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that Jim Read, owner and developer of the Hoffmann House is requesting approval of some minor changes to the east and west façade elevations. He is also requesting approval of his parking and landscaping plan. He was unable to attend the Design Review Board, so staff mad some suggestions and recommendation in his absence. The Design Review Board had no objection with his proposed awning on the east elevation. The Design Review Board had some concerns with the west side with the awnings that were replacing previously approved porches. The Design Review Board felt that elements the porches should be retained in some way. Mr. Read had some concerns regarding the replication and construction of the porches. The site plan for the 90-degree pull-in parking would not work as proposed because the driveway bay is too narrow. One-way angle parking off West Grand Avenue was recommended. This would allow for larger areas for landscaping along the entry on West Grand Avenue, but it would decrease the number of parking stalls. The Design Review Board recommended approving the angle parking and triangular landscaping islands, and the awning on the east elevation. No recommendation was proposed for the west elevation. Mr. Read informed the Commissioners that he was having problems recreating the columns and did not know if they could even be manufactured. He thought that the awnings would add color to the building. He doesn't have a tenant for the lower level at this time. Mr. Read discussed the parking and landscaping with the Commissioners. The fencing was discussed and Mr. Read will submit a site plan for the fencing. Commissioners discussed the parking lot. Alderman Haacke had only two issues he would like to see: 1) one-way entrance and exit for the parking lot and 2) plantings. Commissioner Dean questioned Mr. Read about the lot lines. Mr. Read stated that he was positive and was looking into it. Commissioner Sova questioned Mr. Read regarding the recreating of the columns. Mr. Read stated he was trying to stay neutral with using the awnings. Commissioner Sova disagreed and asked if there were any period pieces that he could use. Mr. Read stated that the Historical Society did not like applicants to recreate history. Commissioner Sova preferred the columns to the awnings. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY MAYOR HUEBNER to approve the revised building and site plan with the changes to the elevation as shown, with the parking lot having a one way configuration, a minimum of 4 foot wide planters and meeting the provisions of the landscaping ordinance. Motion carried (6 ayes; 1 nay (Sova)).

REVIEW AND approve REVISED CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE WEISS PROPERTY, CTH LL, A. N. ANSAY, ASSOCIATES, APPLICANT: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. They previously presented a conceptual development plan that included single family, duplex, some higher density residential housing, and business park areas. The Commission made several suggestions for revision to the plan that was presented. A revised plan was shown to the Design Review Board that included the following changes: 1) Duplexes were added along the east-west street to buffer the business park; 2) Access to the business park area is limited to CTH LL; 3) Residential lots were added along Terrace Drive extended; and 4) One of the cul-de-sacs has been moved to mitigate impacts on one of the wetland areas. The designer was unable to attend the Design Review Board meeting. The Design Review Board made several suggestions revision to the plan. They were: 1) The duplex lots should be wider to accommodate side loaded garages; 2) The cul-de-sac for lots 8-15 may be realigned or bent to the south; 3) Two cul-de-sacs to the west of the pond may be replaced with a thru street to allow for lots to back onto the city park; 4) The main north-south road (Groeschel) may be realigned or bent closer to the woods; 5) The cul-de-sac in the woods should be shortened to reduce the impact on the woods; 6) Consideration should be given to making the natural surface drainage area from CTH LL to the floodplain a part of the street right-of-way; 7) The public street for the area designated for higher density housing north of Birchwood Hills and Audubon Trails be removed. The area should be served by private road access; and 8) The use for lots 71-79. Representatives of the property agreed with some suggestions and disagreed with others. The revised plan does incorporate some of the agreed upon suggestions. Dennis Van Sluy and Mike Ansay were present. He discussed the reasons for some of the changes and why some of the suggestions were not included. Commissioners discussed the multi-family housing units, the density, the ditch/drainage area, Business Park and open green space. Commissioners suggested the following conditions: 1) The pedestrian path should go all around the pond; 2) Cul-de-sac with lots 21, 22, 23, and 24, should have a deed restriction regarding clear cutting of trees, so they remain wooded lots; 3) The retention/detention areas in the non-wooded open space, if not holding areas for water, perhaps add to the woods in those areas; 4) A private road where the multi-family would be developed; and 5) A map of the area to be given to new home builders as to what the area is zoned and what may be built in the area. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to approve the concept development plan as presented with noted conditions. Motion carried unanimously.

REVIEW AND APPROVE NEW CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HIDDEN HILLS, BIELINSKI DEVELOPMENT, APPLICANT: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item for the Commissioners. Bielinski Development was on schedule to begin utility and grading plans and also their Final Plat for Hidden Hills. They have now acquired the Jacque property, which includes land both west and north of the proposed development. They are now proposing to revise the entire project with a new conceptual development plan, a new General Development Plan, and new Plat. Staff met with the company representatives to review their latest plan. The Jacque property consists of three parcels. One parcel will be developed in the City, one in the Village of Saukville, and one in the Town of Port Washington. The parcel to be developed in the City will be combined with the Hidden Hills development to become a larger neighborhood conservation subdivision. Bruce Engelking and Robin Wetstein presented their new plan. They stated that the density on this new project and Hidden Hills would be the same. There would be 76 residential lots, 24 duplex/condo lots and the same amount of commercial lots. There will be a north/south road connection. The Bielinski representatives discussed the open space, water retention and pedestrian pathways. They also stated that the lot sizes would be 9,000 sq. ft with frontages of 75 to 77 sq. ft. The condo area would have private roads. Commissioners discussed the duplex/condos and asked about side loading garages. The Bielinski representatives stated that the duplex/condos would be side-by-side single story ranch style homes. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the new conceptual development plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

review and RECOMMEND NEW RESIDENTIAL DESIGN STANDARDS FOR ONE AND TWO FAMILY DWELLINGS: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item for the Commissioners. He stated that staff has further refined the new residential design standards for all new one and two family dwellings. Staff has proposes that there be a minimum standards that apply to all new dwellings and that there be a list of other design attributes that a builder or homeowner could pick or choose from. Staff proposes two methods of selecting the same attributes. One is to simply choose a prescribed number and the other is to choose the attributes based on a point system. Adopting these new standards would not only make future manufactured homes blend with other homes in the community, but it would also greatly improve the residential designs of all future housing constructed in the City. It allows the owner/builder the freedom to choose what works best for their particular house design and does not require individual design review action on the part of the City. This allows the applicant who desires to construct an architecturally unique dwelling, such as a flat roof or International Style, the opportunity to seek relief from the standards. This process is consistent with past practices that allow the Plan Commission discretion in reviewing and approving zoning ordinance modification as opposed to involving the Zoning Board of Appeals. Staff recommends approval to the Council. (Attached to these minutes are the Design Standards). The Commissioners discussed the Design Standards and approved of the idea to pick and choose from this list of standards. MOTION BY ALDERMAN HAACKE AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA to forward this recommendation to the Common Council. Motion carried unanimously.

City Planner Tetzlaff stated the chance for funding is very good. He also stated that all the municipalities in Ozaukee have agreed to participate. City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed the Scope Plan with the Commissioners. The Commissioners would like to add "or any revision of" to the Cooperative Agreement Between the City of Port Washington and Ozaukee County in the third paragraph after "Section 66.1001 (2) of the Wisconsin Statutes." Under Section IV, Deliverables, first paragraph, add "or any revision of" after Section 66.1001 (4). Under Section V, Responsibilities, paragraph 4, delete "like to" in the third sentence. City Planner Tetzlaff asked that if the Commissioners had any questions before next month, to contact him. A final revision would be reviewed next month.

He explained that British Petroleum or BP now owns Amoco and is in the process of changing logos and replacing other company signs at Port Amoco. The local owner desires to replace the existing non-conforming pole sign with one that is not quite so high or large. The sign ordinance requires the Plan Commission to approve any signs that exceed the size requirements of 20 square feet and maximum height requirements of 20 feet. Currently there is a 24 feet 10 inch 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. The Design Review Board members felt that the pole mount signs should be replaced with monument signs. The Design Review Board also felt that 32 square feet in size was sufficient and that the sign could be placed on either end of the property. This sign could be erected either vertically or horizontally. The Design Review Board had no concerns with the other signage proposed for the building, the canopy, or the pumps. There was concern regarding all the other remaining miscellaneous signs of the site. Staff recommends the approval of one monument sign no larger than 32 square feet is size that may be constructed either horizontally or vertically and may be placed at either the west or east side of the site. 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.

Chairman’s Business: Mayor Huebner wanted to update the Commissioners on the Conditional Use Grant for Zignego Ready Mix from the Plan Commission meeting last month. The Mayor and the City Engineer visited the WE Energies site to see if there would be any room for Zignego on that site. There will not be any extra room to put a plant there especially when they get to full capacity. There were questions as to whether this plant would be used exclusively for WE Energies or other projects in the area. It appears that there is some evidence that it would be used for more than the power plant. There were also concerns on how long this plant would be needed. We are trying to address those concerns and hope to have answers for the Common Council next week. Commissioners discussed the time length for the plant and the truck routes. City Administrator Grams stated that the Common Council has the final approval on the Conditional Use Grant and the memo we are sending to the Common Council from staff indicates that the Conditional Use Grant should be approved only for deliveries to WE Energies. Commissioner Dean also stated that he was a no vote on the Zignego's Conditional Use Grant at last month’s meeting and did not abstain. This will be noted in the minutes. City Planner Tetzlaff explained that the memo would read that the concrete produced in Port Washington would be delivered only to the power plant and to no other projects and the time limit was approved for two years because the applicant had asked for that time limit but we are proposing a limit for only the time it takes to build Unit 1 or up to a one year maximum.

Public Appearances & Comments: Mr. Brendan Boyle of 418 Hillcrest Court stated that two issues he would like to speak on. 1). Item number 6, He demonstrated to the Design Review Board that the garage makes sense to be closer to the property line; reviewed the materials and screening from neighbors. He hopes that the Commissioners approve it. 2). Item number 12, he had listened to the work session on this issue and he would like you to take into consideration that the base of the driveway is an important part of a driveway. The concrete is not the only part of the driveway, the gravel base is important also. If you are replacing or repairing driveway and taking the concrete off and leaving the gravel base there it would be just repairing, it would not be a complete replacement. You need to take in to consideration the older properties in the City. Mr. Bill Penkwitz of 309 Nautica Drive stated that he had concerns with the item #10. His concern is with the location of the footpath going through the properties over to Freeman Drive. He would like to know if there is a need for it and why it was placed there. Commissioners explained that the Commission would like to see continuous sidewalks in new subdivisions and the Commission wanted to see a sidewalk or walking path to the YMCA. Mr. John Sigwart of 230 Theis addressed the Commission and stated that the walking path was being removed from the preliminary plat.

CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON ALLOWING MANUFACTURED HOUSING UNITS IN THE CITY: Alderman Haacke had concerns about manufactured housing in the City. He would like the staff to develop some standards so that manufactured houses would closely match stick built houses. Staff would need to establish a basis for basements, roof pitches, square footage, all these things plus any others that may come to mind. These houses are an investment in our community. We need to protect the health, safety and welfare of our citizens. If we intend to have manufactured houses, they need to meet these standards. Alderman Haacke is not against manufactured homes. Commissioners agreed that standards for exterior materials, foundations, building materials, roof pitch and other items should make a manufactured house compatible with a stick built house. Staff was directed to draft standards for manufactured houses and bring it back to the next meeting. Commissioner Sova asked the City Planner to investigate how other communities deal with this issue.

REVIEW AND approve modifications to the offset requirements for a detached garage, 418 hillcrest court, brendan and mary boyle, applicant: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He explained that the applicants are requesting to replace a one-car garage (21.2 feet by 14.2 feet) with a 2-car garage (24 feet by 24 feet) that will be 2 feet from the side lot line and 3 feet from the rear lot line. The Ordinance requires 6 feet for each. The applicant is proposing to use better architectural treatments; there is adequate screening; and the neighbors have signed a letter indicating no opposition to the proposed garage. The Design Review Board recommended approval. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BABCOCK AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the modification to the offset requirement for a detached garaged as presented.

He stated that the duplex adjacent to Balance, Inc., a non-profit agency-serving individuals with developmental disabilities is currently on the market. The applicants would like to acquire the property and lease it to Balance for office space. The Balance property is currently zoned B-3 and the duplex is zoned RM-1.

Mr. Craig Modahl stated that there was a question about the inspection being done on the duplex. He would like to use the bottom area for offices and the upper level for rental and eventually office space. City Planner Tetzlaff stated that in B-3 zoning, you couldn't have rental properties. Mr. Modahl would like to have CCM zoning. (Alderman Haacke withdrew his motion with the concurrence of City Engineer Vanden Noven). Mr. Modahl would discuss further with staff on his options.

review and approve revised conceptual development plan for woodridge condominiums, east sauk road in the town of port washington, pasco, llc, applicant: Mr. Paul Schneider previously submitted for review and consideration a concept plan for condominiums for the property located behind the Port Motel on East Sauk Road in the Town of Grafton. The Commission expressed some concerns and asked that a revised plan be submitted for consideration. Mr. Schneider has addressed all but one of the concerns raised previously. That concern was the single-family detached condominiums along East Sauk Road. Mr. Schneider has also submitted a list of references for the Commissioners. Mr. Schneider presented his revised concept development plan. He explained the changes to the pond: the pond will have water in it all year round, and the lower pond would have a fountain. There would be walking paths to each area, to the commercial area and to the interurban bike trail. Each unit plan will vary in elevation and floor plans. All units will be built with different material, none will look the same. The roads with Fiduciary's development will line up with this development’s road. The number of units was also reduced. Commissioner Dean thanked Mr. Schneider for his references and asked about the cost of the units. Mr. Schneider stated that they would vary in price with each unit. Commissioners questioned the garages on some of the units. They were concerned about too much asphalt. Commissioners questioned the road system. Mr. Schneider stated that all roads would be private except for the commercial area. Mr. Schneider briefly discussed the landscaping. Commissioners asked about the elevations. Mr. Schneider stated that there were 8 elevations for the single family and 9 elevations for the duplexes. Commissioners were concerned about the 4-family units. They would like to see more diversity with buildings and building materials. City Engineer questioned the parkland. City Planner Tetzlaff stated that land or money is given when a subdivision is development. In this case, money would be given for a larger park in the area. Commissioners questioned the density ratio. Commissioners asked about the commercial area and Mr. Schneider stated he was looking for business, retail or office. Commissioners like the western area of the development but had concerns with the eastern area. Alderman Haacke liked the idea of single family and duplex ranch style unit. He doesn't like to see 6-family and 8-family units. Commissioner Sova doesn't want to see large box 4-families with double garages. Commissioners would like to see stone and brick on the 4-families. Commissioner Babcock wants more information on the 4-families. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA to approve the concept plan with the following recommendations. 1) Less double front-loaded garages (facing each other); 2) More diversity with the 4-family buildings and building materials, change some of the floor plans and layouts; 3) Would like to see the elevation for the complete development; 4) Would like to see varied elevations for the 4-families; 5) More landscaping for the 4-families; 6) Special attention to the entrance; and 7) Less asphalt for the 4-families. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Huebner called for a 5-minute recess from 9:02 p.m. to 9:07 p.m.

review and approve conceptual development plan for stone lake estates, stonecroft drive in town of grafton, robert detoro, applicant: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that the applicant would like to postpone discussion for this item until the December meeting for his conceptual approval. City Planner Tetzlaff suggested that Commissioners should drive out to the property and review it before the snow is on the ground. He explained that Mr. Detoro acquired three parcels of land around the existing Stonecroft Development. Two of the parcels were sold to V.K. Development. The remaining parcel is to be developed as Stone Lakes Estates. Phase I will be 24 single-family detached condominiums and would not be using municipal water or sewer. They would be developed with temporary wells and holding tanks. Once the V.K. Development occurs, phase I would be connected to municipal water and sewer. Phases II and III would then be developed also at that time. NO ACTION WAS TAKEN.

Review and approve preliminary plat for the woods at white pine, nick didier, applicant: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that the applicant doesn't want us to take action on this because there are a lot of issues that are not yet resolved. The applicant does want to remove the walkway from the concept plan. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DEAN to remove the walking path from the concept plan as previously approved. City Engineer Vanden Noven wanted to know why the walking path was to be removed. Mayor Huebner stated that the neighbors were concerned about the location and that the path itself ends at Freeman Drive, where there is a traffic problem on STH 33. City Engineer Vanden Noven liked the idea of leaving the easement in the plan for future options. Commissioner Kelley stated that the developers could place the path somewhere else on the plan. Mr. John Sigwart was in the audience to answer any questions. Motion carried (5 ayes, 2 nays (Vanden Noven and Sova)); MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA to have staff work with developers to develop a feasible walking path between lots 12 and 13 and the right-of-way of Freeman Drive.

REVIEW AND APPROVE REVISED SITE PLAN FOR THE HISTORIC LIGHT STATION, 311 JOHNSON STREET, PW HISTORICAL SOCIETY, APPLICANT: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff informed the Plan Commissioners that the Light Station property is owned by the City and leased to the Historical Society. The lease agreement requires that the owner (City) must approve all additions, modifications, etc to the property. Also, all changes must conform to existing ordinances and regulations. The Historical Society has submitted a revised site plan that includes replicating the old oil house and well, a new picket fence, a brick commemorative walkway and the new permanent location for the lifeboat. If the site plan is approved, implementation will not begin until funds are raised by the Historical Society. The sites chosen for the oil house, well, walkway and fencing match their previous site location for pre 1934. The inclusion of these items satisfies recommendation of the National Park Service. The proposed locations for the oil house and lifeboat would be in the setback area. The Plan Commission has the authority to approve locating accessory buildings less than 150 sq. ft. in size in the setback area. This provision does not apply to the lifeboat. According to the Building Inspector, the boat may also fall under the definition of outdoor "storage," if such, may not be permitted. Members of the Design Review Board questioned whether the permanent placement of the lifeboat on the site may not be historically correct and they were hesitant to see the boat left outside year-round and covered with tarps, etc. The Design Review Board recommended approval of the site plan including the oil house, well, commemorative walkway and picket fence. No recommendation is made regarding the lifeboat. Historical Society President Ann Flierl was present. She stated that the Historical Society would be meeting to review this site plan and a letter would be sent to the City Administrator regarding their decision. Linda Nenn of the Light Station made a presentation to the Commissioners and answered any questions that they might have. Commissioner Dean thanked Linda and her team for doing a great job with the Light Station. Commissioner Dean asked if the lifeboat could be seen with the picket fence. He was assured that you could. Commissioners questioned the lifeboat and how it would be stored in the winter. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DEAN AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to approve the site plan as presented excluding the lifeboat. Motion carried unanimously.

REVIEW AND APPROVE BUILDING, SITE, AND OPERATIONAL PLAN TO PLACE MOBILE OFFICES IN THE 100 BLOCK OF CHESTNUT STREET, WASHINGTON GROUP INTERNATIONAL, APPLICANT: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff informed that Plan Commissioners that the contractor involved in the conversion of the power plant has submitted plans for placing mobile administrative offices on WE Energy's property along West Chestnut Street. Up to four doublewide units would be placed on this site; they would be surrounded with a chain link fencing; would be connected to City sewer and water; and would be on-site until the project is completed in 2008. Lighting would only be located on the mobile structures themselves and the workers would use the existing gravel parking lot. The Design Review inquired about alternative locations for the administrative offices. The offices need to be on-site, out of the way of construction activity, and be near sewer and water connections. Captain Keller of the Police Department noted that the police cannot guarantee 24-hour surveillance and agreed with the provision of fencing. The fencing and structures need to be located outside the setback area. Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions: 1) Setback must be 20 feet setback or the block average; 2) Landscaping shall be provided as per zoning ordinance in the front setback area and west side of the site to buffer the adjacent residence; 3) The parking area may remain a gravel surface; and 4) The security fencing shall be at a height of 6 feet and no barbed wire allowed and a semi-opaque screening shall be added. Mr. Ed Dawson of the Washington Group and Larry Stevens from WE Energies was present to answer any questions the Commissioners might have. Mr. Dawson stated that the Plan calls for 4 trailers, but he thinks there will only be 2 trailers. He stated that the trailers would be placed first, then the fencing and then the landscape. Commissioners had questions about finding office space in the downtown area. Mr. Dawson stated that the trailers needed to be on site for vendors and suppliers and also for engineers on the project and for payroll items. Commissioner Sova questioned when the trailers and fencing would be removed. Mr. Dawson stated that the trailers and fencing would be removed at the end of the project, approximately 5 years from now. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the building, site and operational plan as recommended by the Design Review Board that allows the placing of mobile offices in the 100 block of West Chestnut Street subject to having the trailers and the fencing removed 90 days after the project is completed. Motion carried (4 Ayes; 1 Nay (Dean)). Commissioner Sova complimented the Contractor on his agreement to landscape the area and clean up the site. He stated that it was quite admiral able.

REVIEW AND RECOMMEND VACATING A PORTION OF MARITIME DRIVE RIGHT-OF-WAY IN THE PORT WASHINGTON INDUSTRIAL PARK: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that the original plans for the Industrial Park proposed that a 66' street (Maritime Drive) be platted from South Park Street and extend west along the southern edge of the Park. When Maritime Drive was constructed, it needed to bend around an existing wetland near the intersection with Mineral Springs Drive. The approved Plat also indicated that a portion of the 66' Right-Of-Way alignment would be vacated in the future. In 1999, Aloha Automotive purchased land from the City and began construction of its new facility. Aloha has submitted a request to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for permission to fill another wetland on its property to accommodate the construction of another new building. Approval by the WDNR is contingent that the wetland contained within the street R.O.W. is expanded to replace the wetland that is being filled. The Board of Public Works has approved this request and the City Attorney has reviewed this item. A formal amendment to the City's street map by the Plan Commission, followed by a Public Hearing before the Common Council and adoption by the Common Council is needed. The City then will record the new R.O.W administratively along with any necessary storm sewer easement. City Engineer Vanden Noven stated that this is a win-win situation. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DEAN AND SECONDED BY MAYOR HUEBNER to approve recommending to the Common Council the narrowing of a portion of Maritime Drive right-of-way in the Port Washington Industrial Park. Motion carried unanimously.

REVIEW AND APPROVE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE FORMER SCHMIDT FARM PROPERTY ALONG CTH LL, MILLER ENGINEERS SCIENTISTS, APPLICANT: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff explained to the Commissioners that since the Bielinski Development proposed the Hidden Hills subdivision, the City staff has been having discussions with the Didier family regarding their land known as the former Schmidt farm. The development of this property would allow for a second access on County Highway LL. Mr. John Sigwart from Miller Engineers Scientists gave a presentation about the proposed Concept Plan. He stated that the Schmidt farm has been in the Didier family for over 30 years. It is a unique development that can be done in 5 phases. There would be single-family homes and town homes. The smallest lot would be 12,000 square feet, while the largest lot would be about 1 acre. Mr. Sigwart explained about the access onto CTH LL. He also explained how the west subdivision would connect to Hidden Hills and the east subdivision would connect to Spinnaker West. Mr. Sigwart informed the Commission that the Condos or town homes would own and maintain the Outlot B in Phase 1 by a Condo Association. He also explained each phase individually. Commissioners were concerned about pedestrian safety. Mr. Sigwart informed the Commissioners that there was several pedestrian paths connect several Phases. Commissioners also discussed the park area that was designated for this concept plan. Commissioner Sova questioned the cul du sacs and egress and ingress. Mr. Sigwart informed the Commissioners that the cul de sacs would have plantings for drainage. He also stated that the elevation from CTH LL to the development made it almost impossible for more accessible to CTH LL. Mr. Sigwart stated that the Bielinski Development sell homes while the Didier Development would sell property. Commissioner Sova was concern about a cookie cutter development with the condos. Mr. Pete Didier stated that the garages would be in the back of the town homes. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to approve the conceptual development plan for the former Schmidt farm property along County Highway LL subject to the following conditions: 1) Phase II, Proposed zoning RM-2, to accommodate higher density condominiums with an association owning and maintaining Outlot B; future housing would be architectural interesting and no cookie cutter designs; 2) Phase IV, proposed zoning RS-2, to have a dedicated road westward, preferably southern most road; 3) Phase V, proposed zoning RS-2 or RS-1, to have only 1 cul de sac and include larger lot sizes for more upscale housing; 4) As a transition, the southwest corner of Phase II to be dedicated for a neighborhood park approximately 2.5 acres in size; 5) Outlots A and C to be divided and privately-owned by adjacent lot owners; 6) Dedicated walking paths to be provided through Outlots A and C; 7) Landscaped islands within the cul de sacs may be used to enhance aesthetics and improve storm water management; 8) City will discuss with Ozaukee County the possible disposition of the former wayside along CTH LL; and 9) City staff will meet and discuss with the PWSSD, possible easements or ownership transfer to accommodate utilities or street access. Motion carried unanimously.

REVIEW AND RECOMMEND BUILDING AND SITE PLAN IMPROVEMENTS AT THE PORT WASHINGTON-SAUKVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT ATHLETIC FACILITY, BONESTROO ROSENE ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, APPLICANT: Mr. Mike Ehrlich from Bonestroo and Associates was present tonight to present the proposed renovation of the Port Washington High School Athletic Field. Mr. Ehrlich stated that the School District proposes to demolish the existing bleachers at the visitors' side of the football field and at the baseball field. Demolition would also continue with the existing tennis courts, related lighting, existing football field lighting, of two existing frame buildings used for storage near the existing utility building at the north end of the track area, partial demolition of some fence at the east side of Sauk Creek near the left field foul line for the baseball field, and demolition of the existing long jump, triple jump, high jump and pole vault events for track competition. The School District would install new bleachers at the visitors' side of the football field and at the baseball field, new runways and pit areas for long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault events for track competition. The existing utility building would be renovated by demolition the existing bathrooms and creating new bathrooms in the building. A new addition to the south side of the existing utility building would be built. The new addition would be 16 ft. x 24 ft. and be made of masonry and become a new concession stand. The entire building would be repainted. A new cold storage building (40 ft. wide x 60 ft. long and 12 ft. high) would be constructed. This would be used to store track equipment and off-season storage of equipment for the School District. It would be built of wood or steel framing and have a pre-finished steel siding to match the color of the newly painted utility building. A new 4 ft. high cyclone type fence would be constructed around the north side of the track and a new 8 ft. high cyclone fence at various entry points to the west side of the Athletic Field. New lights and a new sound system would be installed at the football field. There would be one large light pole at the south and north ends of the home and visitor bleacher areas. The area where the tennis court use to be would be filled in and seeded for a grass area. A new area for shot put and discus track competition would be added. Finally a new 4-inch water line would be constructed from the north parking lot of the baseball field, across the baseball field to the existing utility building would be added for additional water for the bathroom renovation work. Commissioner Kelley questioned the lighting on the pedestrian bridge across Sauk Creek. City Administrator Mark Grams stated that the City owned the pedestrian bridge. Alderman Babcock stated that he was impressed with the new plans. MOTION BY ALDERMAN BABACOCK AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to approve the Concept Plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

6. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND AMENDING THE FLOODPLAIN ZONING MAP TO REMOVE LANDS FROM THE FLOOD PLAN, WE ENERGIES, APPLICANT: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners the existing power plant building is outside the 100-year floodplain. The other areas around the structure are in the floodplain. In order to begin construction of improvements to the new facility, those areas must be protected from the 100-year event. The site plan previously approved by the City identified a channel bypass and weir whose purpose is to divert the water from the Mineral Springs Creek to Lake Michigan. Consultants for WE Energies have conducted a hydraulic analysis of improvements to Mineral Springs Creek and the proposed bypass. The hydraulic analysis concludes that the proposed channel bypass and weir will divert sufficient water to protect the power plant and new improvements from a 100-year event. The structure will be designed to handle more water. The WDNR would like to continue having water flow down Mineral Springs Creek to the Sauk Creek to flush out its channel and improve habitat. The information presented clearly showed that area contained within the floodplain would be reduced. A new floodplain boundary line must be delineated on the City's floodplain zoning map. The consultants for WE Energies did not have available from SEWRPC, the map data to do the delineation for the Design Review Board. Staff recommends approval contingent on WDNR review and concurrence. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to approve recommending the amending of the Floodplain zoning map to remove lands from the floodplain. Motion carried unanimously.

7. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CONDITIONAL USE GRANT FOR CAR WASH AT 1427 WEST GRAND AVENUE, THOMAS DESIGN, APPLICANT: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that the 1.84 acre of land immediately west of Culver's Restaurant has been recently purchased by DFI, LLC, who proposed to construct a fully automatic, 2-bay, touch less car wash. The proposed car wash is similar to the one recently constructed along USH 57 in Random Lake. The property is zoned B-2 Local Business Service District and a car wash is permitted with a Conditional Use Grant. The name of the business would be "Car Tub Car Wash." It would be open 24 hours. There would be 2 employees hired to maintain the facility and service the customers. The car wash would average approximately 50 per day, with a water usage of about 2,500 gallons per day. The Design Review Board recommend approval of the building and site plan, and the Conditional Use Grant subject to the following conditions: 1) Submission of a revised building and site plan that includes all of the changes requested by the Design Review Board such as: reduce noise emanating from the car wash, both the vacuums and the dryers have been moved to the front. The overhead doors open only when a vehicle approaches so the rear doors nearest to the Breeze Cove Apartments would remain closed most of the time; 2) The existing driveway onto the north bound ramp may be used on a temporary basis for construction use only; and 3) 24-hour operations may be permitted as long as the southern overhead doors remain closed at all time except to allow vehicles in to be washed. The landscaping for this project is very generous. Commission Dybdahl stated that there were better uses for this land than a car wash. He stated another spot should be found for a car wash. The City Planner stated that the land has been on the market for some time and has had no offers. It is an attractive project. City Engineer Vanden Noven stated that the zoning permits a car wash. Alderman Babcock stated that it was the same zoning as up by the Sentry Store. City Engineer Vanden Noven stated it is the best spot for a car wash. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to approve recommending the Conditional Use Grant to the Common Council. City Engineering Vanden Noven stated that it was an excellent design, the landscape was great, it is a good spot for it and it is a good location for business and drive by traffic. Commissioner Kelley agreed with Commissioner Dybdahl that it is not a good location but do we have the right to say no. Is it legal? Motion Defeated (2-Ayes (Vanden Noven and Kelley) 2-Nays (Babcock and Dybdahl)). MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to have the City Attorney review and issue an opinion as to whether a car wash is a permitted or conditional use, and if it is a conditional use, may it be denied and under what conditions. The car wash will be brought back to the Plan Commission next month. Motion Carried (3-Ayes (Vanden Noven, Babcock, and Kelley) 1-Nay (Dybdahl)).

8. REVIEW AND APPROVE REVISED JOINT LAND USE PLAN MAP FOR CITY AND TOWN OF PORT WASHINGTON: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff review this item with the Commissioners. He explained that previously the Plan Commission reviewed and discussed a Joint Land Plan for the City and the Town of Port Washington. But, before taking action the Town's Plan Commission requested a representative of both communities meet again to clarify and possibly modify the designation of some areas. City Administrator Grams and City Planner Tetzlaff met with representative of the town last month. The following changes were discussed: 1) All new development will be property owner driven as long as it conforms to the land use plan; 2) Graphic representation of dual land uses will be stripped for better clarity; 3) Areas #1 and #2 will be shown as rural or urban residential. Please note that the northern portion of area #2 may be removed from the sewer service area and therefore will only be developed as rural residential; 4) If sewer becomes available, a buffer strip of commercial is shown along CTH LL in area #2; 5) Areas #5, 6, 9, 10 and 11 are shown as commercial retail, office, or Business Park. This area due to its proximity to the interchange may find that commercial type of development will be the highest and best use; 6) Residential land within Areas #13, 5, 16, 17, 18, 23, and 24 is shown to be either rural or urban; and 7). The other areas previously discussed as dual use (Areas #19, 20, and 23 are now stripped). Also discussed was that in the future when a development is proposed in either the City or the Town, the plans are shared with the other to ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses. Also in the near future, we will need to discuss designating future roadways particularly a north-south road linking Green Bay Road and Sunset Road and a road system in Knellsville area. Commissioner Dybdahl wanted to know if the Plan Commission minutes were being sent to the Town. He was informed that the agendas are sent but not the minutes. Minutes would be sent to the Town. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DYBDAHL AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN BABCOCK to approve the revised joint land use plan map for the City and the Town of Port Washington. Motion carried unanimously.

9. REVIEW AND APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT AMENDS THE CITY LAND USE PLAN AND MAP: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He informed them that previously they had discussed and approved the amending of the 2020 Land Use Plan to include changes to the former Schanen property south; the area in the Town of Grafton southwest of the intersection of STH 32 and East Sauk Road; and the Sauk Creek environmental corridor from the aquatic center to the West Slip. A previous version of the Joint Land Use Plan was also discussed but action was tabled. A public hearing was also held. If the Joint Land Use Plan is approved, then a resolution may be review and approved that "officially" amends the plan and map. The review of the concept plan for Hidden Hills, a question was raised as to whether the land use plan and map was amended for the former Schanen property north. That action was taken on December 21, 2000 to designate that land as Residential and Mixed Use. A draft resolution was included in the packet. This resolution officially recognizes amending the City Plan and Map to include the changes discussed above. The Plan Commission needs to take action on this matter soon because we need to begin the process of requesting a sanitary sewer service amendment from the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission. MOTION BY ALDERMAN BABCOCK AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to approve a resolution that amends the City Land Use Plan and Map. Motion carried unanimously.

CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE: This item was tabled until the next meeting.

11. PUBLIC COMMENTS/APPEARANCES: Elizabeth O'Connell of 822 West Grand Avenue stated that this is not directed to current members of the Plan Commission or planning staff in town yet because you did not make some of the problems that exist, but it’s very nice to say that you should approve a car wash out on LL on the property that’s empty because it’s cute and has a lot of plants on it and because you want to get rid of an empty lot. But right now you don’t have the infrastructure out there to put more development. You’re talking about more development west of Lake Park, more development on both sides of the road. You got an attractive nuisance at Tri-Par for kids trying to get videos and you got them going to Culvers. You have no sidewalks out there and you don’t have any regulated intersections or crossing for them. The businesses have been concerned enough about the three near misses out there that they asked to have crossings put in, a pedestrian walking and the State won’t let them do that. So it isn’t a question of when LL comes down to grade because it’s irresponsible to continue to put development and cars out there especially with the extra traffic that going to be out when 32 is under construction and people are going out to the highway on 33. When you don’t have any where for the children and everybody who are up there and going to those places to get safely out of the way of traffic nor do you have any way to regulate the traffic cause people come barreling out of those driveways and there are near misses up there all the time. There have been three misses involving children so the City should stop the development until they get something out there for safety. It’s become an issue in town and downtown and nobody’s going to care how cute the car wash is when there kid is dead in the road. Tom Hudson of 822 West Grand Avenue wanted to thank the two Commissioners that stuck to their guns on the car wash development. Keep it up.

AUTHORIZED BY LAW: There was none.

6. REVIEW AND APPROVE FINAL OUTDOOR DINING PLAN FOR 100-102 E. GRAND AVENUE, HAAG MULLER, APPLICANT: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that at the November Plan Commission meeting, the Commission approved a building and site plan for Beanie's Restaurant and Cantina. The approval noted that the outdoor dining plan required approval by the Board of Public Works and the Common Council to occupy the public right-of-way. The Board of Public Works and the Common Council have granted their approval and it was the understanding that if those approvals were granted, the Plan Commission would have a chance to grant final approval to the dining plan. The original plan proposed tables for 4. The revised plan shows tables for 2 tucked against the building. This provides more sidewalk clearance and serving maneuverability. The Common Council approved the revised plan. Commissioners discussed the outdoor dining plan. Commissioner Kelley had concerns on the outdoor dining plan with regards to serving maneuverability and pedestrian access. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN BABCOCK to approve the outdoor dining plan. Motion carried (4 Ayes to 1 Nay (Commissioner Kelley)). City Administrator Grams stated that there are rules and regulations that govern outdoor dining areas.

7. RECONSIDERATION OF SITE PLAN FOR COMMUNICATIONS TOWER AT 700 SUNSET ROAD, WE ENERGIES, APPLICANT: City Planner Tetzlaff read a letter from City Attorney Eric Eberhardt stating that the proposed tower qualifies as a permitted use requiring Plan Commission review and approval of its building, site and operational plans. Even if such tower is not a permitted use, it is his opinion that it qualifies as a permitted accessory use subject to building, site and operational plan review and approval. Chris Little and Al Downs of WE Energies were present to answer any questions the Commissioners might have. Commissioners asked if the WE Energies would sell space on the tower for private use. Mr. Little stated that the space was necessary for future expansion and Mr. Downs stated that if emergency services need space that might be provided. City Administrator Grams informed the Commissioners that the tower relocation was discussed with the City previously. City Administrator Grams also informed the Commissioners that this tower is similar as the County Tower in height and lighting. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER EWIG AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN BABCOCK to approve the Site Plan and Landscape Plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

8. REVIEW AND APPROVE CONCEPT PLAN FOR HIDDEN HILLS CONSERVATION NEIGHBORHOOD, BIELINSKI DEVELOPMENT, APPLICANT: Joe Mascheck of Vandewalle and Associates in Madison and David Murphy of Bielinski Development were present to answer any questions the Commissioners might have. Mr. Mascheck reviewed with the Commissioners what a Conservation Neighborhood Development would be. 1) Open Space Preservation and Restoration; 2) Reduced Development Area; 3) Minimum Changes to Topography; 4) Reduced Impervious Surface Areas; and 5) Natural Stormwater Treatment and Conveyance. The Hidden Hills site would be approximately 50 acres. It is situated north of State Highway 33 near the Port Washington water tower. It has natural swales, buffer area, ridgelines, small wetlands and large wetlands. He explained about the wetlands being restored to their natural state. The buffer area would be 75 feet with prairie grass. The woodland area is a small grassland with small oaks savannah. They would remove invasive plantings. The natural swale would be used for storm water components. There would be 72 single-family lots averaging about 8,000 sq. ft., 24 condos about 1800 sq. ft., and there would also be a commercial development along Highway 33. Commissioners questioned Mr. Mascheck about the gas line running through the property, lighting along the streets, widths of the street, and parking. Commissioners wanted a Developers Agreement to include wording about the Conservation Trust. Commissioner Ewig liked the concept plan. Commissioner Dybdahl was concerned about the lot sizes and parking. He had lived in area with small lots and little parking. He asked if Bielinski was building all the homes and condos in this subdivision. Mr. Mascheck states that it was all Bielinski buildings. Some commissioners were concerned about the frontage of the single-family homes. City Planner Tetzlaff stated that the Police and Fire Commission would review the streets. Mr. Mascheck stated that they would look into a tot lot, detention, staggering the setbacks, and narrow lot sizes. City Engineer Vanden Noven was pleased with the design. He stated that maximum land for open space makes good use of natural areas. He also stated that narrow streets means less paved surface area. This is friendlier to the environment. The lots sizes are more family friendly and the walking trails are very nice. He stated he liked it and it was the best of both worlds. Alderman Babcock had concerns with the open space. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER EWIG to approve the Concept Plan for Hidden Hills Conservation Neighborhood as presented subject to working with staff on the land trust and tot lot for subdivision control ordinance. Motion carried (6 Ayes to 1 Nay (Dybdahl)).

9. REVIEW AND APPROVE REZONING OF 217 FREEMAN DRIVE FROM B-2 LOCAL SERVICE CENTER BUSINESS DISTRICT TO RS-1, SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, ST. JOHN’S LUTHERAN CHURCH, APPLICANT: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He informed them that there were two actions being requested this evening, a rezoning and a Conditional Use Grant. St. John's is currently located on West Foster Street. It has an accepted offer to purchase the former Cook Composites property on Freeman Drive. The offer to purchase is conditioned on the church having the property rezoned to residential and obtaining a Conditional Use Grant to allow church, school and day care use. The timing is critical. In order to meet the timetable in the purchase offer, the rezoning and the CUG process would need to be done in tandem. If the Commission recommends approval of the rezoning a public hearing will be held, then the Conditional Use Grant is approved with a public hearing to follow. If the rezoning is not approved there is no need for the Conditional Use Grant. Mr. Tom Miller, a member of the building committee is present tonight to answer any questions. Pastor Klieve and others are also available for any questions. Mr. Miller presented the plans for St. John's church and school. Mr. Miller gave a little background of St. John's Church. St. John's has been in Port Washington for over 100 years. It has 450 members at present. Their preschool is 17 years old and it has 22 students in its school. St. John's future goals are to expand within 3 years to its new location. It will give the church more room to grow. The Freeman property has several advantages: 1) It is 48,000 sq. ft.; 2) It is 7 acres of land; 3) More parking; 4) Visibility to and from the City; 5) Access to new developments; 6) Ability to add new members. The south building would be used as a school facility. The main level would be used as the office area. There would be room for the preschool and kindergarten. The Upstairs would be for 1^st through 8^th grade. The north structure would be used for a day care in the lower level and the second level would be used for a fellowship hall. The sanctuary would be built between the north and the south buildings. This would set on 7 acres of land with lots of green space for the children to play. Commissioners discussed several issues with Mr. Miller including the tax impact and the selling of the Foster Street Church. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER EWIG to approve the rezoning from B-2 Local Service Center Business to RS-1 Single Family Detached. Motion carried unanimously.

11. AMEND THE 2020 CITY PLAN TO INCLUDE THE DOWNTOWN STAIRWAYS: City Planner Tetzlaff received a letter from Damon Anderson requesting that the Plan Commissioners support the City's commitment to the City's public stairways.
