Also present were: City Administrator Mark Grams and City Planner Randy Tetzlaff. Absent and excused: City Building Inspector Dennis Wiese.

Public Appearances & Comments: There was none.

REZONE 1330 WEST GRAND AVENUE FROM RS-2, SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED BUILDING RESIDENCE DISTRICT TO B-2, LOCAL SERVICE CENTER BUSIENSS DISTRICT, (iTEM WAS PREVIOUSLY TABLED): City Planner Randy Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He reminded the Commissioners that this item was tabled from last month because the applicant was not present at the meeting. The applicant currently resides at this address and also owns and operates the Port Veterinary Clinic on South Webster Street. Her plan is to sell the property on South Webster Street and relocate her clinic operation to the West Grand Avenue property. The property is currently zoned residential, however, all of the property to the west is zoned B-2, Local Service Center Business District. To the east, the properties are residential and open space. On the north, there is also undeveloped open space. This particular property is very large, over 2.4 acres in size. It is large enough to accommodate both a residence and the clinic. There is sufficient room to buffer the use from the adjacent neighbors. If the property is rezoned, a conditional use grant will be required to operate the clinic. At that time, more specifics on the use of the site, access, parking, buffers, etc. can be reviewed. The applicant would like to construct another driveway opening that would line-up directly north of Portview Drive. There will be a median opening at this location once STH 32 is reconstructed. The applicant was present to answer any questions the Commissioners might have. The Commissioners had several concerns regarding noise and the possibility of a strip mall being built on this property in the future. The whole building would be a clinic and the applicant would be moving to another location. Commissioners suggested that the applicant sit down with staff and draw up a concept plan. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA to table this item until staff can work with applicant to prepare a concept plan and bring the concept plan back to the Design Review Board and Plan Commission. Motion carried unanimously.

SITE PLAN FOR NEW PUBLIC OPEN SPACE LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF NORTH MILWAUKEE STREET AND WEST JACKSON STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that the property known as the old pump station was previously declared surplus property by the Plan Commission because the Water Utility no longer had use for it. Many of the neighbors and other residents petitioned the Common Council requesting that it not be sold for development and instead, be redeveloped as public open space. The Council agreed so long as the neighbors and residents agreed to all improvements and cost as well as to long-term maintenance of the property. The neighbors and residents met with staff and it was agreed that a maintenance plan and site plan should be submitted, reviewed, and approved. A description of a volunteer organization, agreed to cover cost, and a site plan was drawn up and submitted to staff. The Plan Commission is asked to review only the site plan. The plan proposes minimal trimming of the trees to improve a viewing of the downtown and harbor. New landscaping and benches were also proposed. The benches would be provided by local civic organizations. The flat surfaced area along North Milwaukee Street is also shown to accommodate wheel-chair accessibility. Mr. Klotz and Mr. Downing presented their site plan to the Plan Commissioners. Commissioners were concern about the trimming of the trees and numerous benches, but no picnic tables. MOTION BY ALDERMAN HAACKE SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA to approve the 2^nd that includes a flat area in the location of the pumping station and the addition of a picnic table. Motion carried unanimously.

CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW FOR PROPOSED TAX INCREMENT DISTRICT #2 LOCATED ALONG CTH LL (ACROSS FROM THE COUNTRY INN AND SUITES): City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. The Plan Commission previously approved a preliminary plat for White Tail Hills on property owned by the Weiss family. That development included a small parcel for mid-density condominium use, some two-family condominiums, single-family, and a small business park. As part of our border agreement with the Town of Port Washington, plans are to extend sewer and water through this development along CTH LL to reach and then go under I-43. This would accomplished by forming a tax increment finance district. The developer proposing White Tail Hill, Blue Sky, LLC and the Weiss family are no longer working together. Hence, both the City and the Weiss family have been working the past several months trying to find another developer willing to take-on the development. New Haven Development (Hank Mehciz) has now come forward with a plan to develop a portion of the previously approved White Tail Hills. Mr. Mehciz is not interested in the single-family portion of the development which, can be developed by someone else at a later time. The plan before you is only a concept plan. If approved by the Plan Commission and a final agreement is then reached between the developer and the property owner, the City could begin preparation of the TID plan. The proposed plan is consistent with the White Tail Hills plat. In the multi-family area, rather than condominiums, a 40-unit assisted living facility and rehabilitation center is proposed. The on and two-family lots would be platted and sold to others for construction. The business park area would be serviced by utilities and marketed. The storm water detention ponds would also be constructed to serve this portion of the development as well as for a portion of the future single family portion. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BECKER to approve the concept plan contingent upon CTH LL access permits obtained from Ozaukee County, right of way reservation for the extension of Highland Drive, sidewalk improvements as noted along CTH LL to attach the facility to the new street that is being proposed, and condominium ownership of the duplex lots. Motion carried (6 Ayes, Sova Abstained).

CONCEPT REVIEW FOR LAND DIVISION ON THE CORNER OF EAST KANE AND POWERS STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. In 2004, the Plan Commission approved a two-lot CSM at 1231 West Grand Avenue. The CSM created a lot with an existing older home fronting on its approval; one Commissioner stated that the Plan Commission should "carefully scrutinize these types of land divisions in the future." Rather than have the Kane Street applicant expend funds to have a CSM prepared and then have Commission deny its approval, staff suggested the applicant first bring his proposal to the Commission for concept approval. The land areas proposed are of sufficient size as are the offsets. The applicant reviewed his concept plan for the Commissioners. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER VOIGT to approve the concept plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

DECLARE PUBLIC LANDS LOCATED BEHIND 100 – 114 NORTH FRANKLIN STREET AS SURPLUS PROPERTY: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. The Plan Commission previously approved both concept and final site plans for rear improvements to both Smith Brothers and the Schooner Pub. A license agreement was approved for the Smith Brothers project and the development is well underway. The Council has not yet approved a license agreement for Schooner’s and at this time appears unlikely. Some of the Council concerns revolve around issues of public purpose, length of term, and the City’s ability to terminate the lease. At this point, it may serve all parties involved that rather than having license agreements, it may be better for the City to just sell the respective land to each party. The land involving Smith Brothers is only the former parking area behind the building. The land along East Grand Avenue would still remain subject to a license agreement. The land involving Schooner’s is a 23’ x 23’ area. These land parcels are both remnants and it is unlikely that the City will ever need them for any future public use. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to declare the public lands located behind 100 – 114 North Franklin Street as surplus land. Motion carried unanimously.

CERTIFIED SURVEY MAP FOR 110 WEST DODGE STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that Mr. Mike Speas would like to create a new, conforming single-family lot on the parcel in the 100 block of West Dodge Street. The applicant is requesting that the submitted Certified Survey Map be accepted and the newly created lot be rezoned from B-2 to RM-2. Mr. Speas reviewed his Certified Survey Map with the Commissioners. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BECKER to approve the Certified Survey Map as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

REZONE NEW LOT AT 110 WEST DODGE STREET FROM B-2, LOCAL SERVICE CENTER DISTRICT TO RM-1, ONE AND TWO FAMILY DISTRICT: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. The applicant is requesting rezoning of this property from B-2 to RM-1. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to approve the rezoning from B-2, Local Service Center District to RM-1, One and Two Family District as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

PUBLIC COMMENT/APPEARANCES: There was none.

FORTHCOMING EVENTS: City Engineer Vanden Noven wanted to inform the Commissioners that the overhead camera is working again thanks to Randy and Ross. Alderman Haacke expanded on the Christmas displays through out the City, such as the Light Station, the Courthouse, and the Eghardt House. City Engineer Vanden Noven noted that some of the plans that came before the Commission this last year, have won some awards in the City.

Roll Call: Mayor Huebner called a duly convened meeting of the Plan Commission to order at 6:33 p.m. Members present were: Commissioners Becker, Voigt, Sova, Kelley and Alderman Haacke. Also present were: City Administrator Mark Grams, City Planner Randy Tetzlaff, City Building Inspector Dennis Wiese, and City Engineer Vanden Noven.

Public Appearances & Comments: Linda Nenn, a member of the Light Station Committee, stated that she had concerns regarding the outlot that would be created by this new revised plat. She also has concerns regarding the retaining wall. The wall was built and maintained by the Federal Government. The Federal Government turned the wall over to the City. The wall is starting to fail. Who will maintain and fix the wall? Will the Port Washington Historical Society be responsible to repair and maintain the wall? This property belongs to the City. Should the City be responsible for repairing and maintaining the wall? These are questions that need to be address.

BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR NEW ADDITION TO MANITOWOC CRANES LOCATED AT 1190 MINERAL SPRINGS DRIVE: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He reminded the Commissioners that recently, Manitowoc Cranes acquired the former Exactech in the City's Industrial Park. Since the acquisition, the company has been hiring new workers and is busy filling new orders. They are now proposing to construct a 27,200 SF addition on the rear side of the existing 50,000 SF building. In the near future, they are looking at a possible addition to the office area as well as adding more manufacturing space, providing they can obtain more land. The original building has a masonry beltline along the west and north elevations. The remaining parts of the elevations are comprised of metal steel panels. The new addition continues the beltline on the north side. None is proposed on the east or rear side, where another addition may be placed. The remaining portions of the walls are comprised of matching steel panels. The relocated docks are concrete; the remainder of the rear yard is left as gravel. All other parking areas and driveways are asphalted. The parking code only requires that driveways and parking areas be paved; and the Plan Commission has the flexibility to waive this provision. The front parking area contains 72 stalls, enough to accommodate the shift employees (40-50 per shift). If another addition is constructed, additional parking may be required. The existing site does not have extensive landscaping. If done according to our landscaping provisions, this site would need over 2,400 points due to the size of the lot and building. The applicant is proposing an additional 750 points to the 320 already present (1,070). This represents a 50% reduction, the maximum that the Plan Commission can approve. The Design Review Board recommended approval subject to the submittal of a landscaping plan and an approved stormwater management plan. Mr. Steve Johnson of A. C. E. Building Service and Tim Gale of Manitowoc Cranes reviewed their plans with the Commissioners. Plan Commissioners discussed this item and had concerns regarding the graveled areas, parking and landscaping. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BECKER to approve the building and site plan as presented subject to a stormwater management plan and a landscaping plan showing a 50% point reduction prepared by a landscape designer being approved by staff. Motion carried unanimously.

REZONE MARINERS POINT (REVISED OPD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY STANDARDS: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that at last month’s meeting, it was decided that the staff and representatives of the developers would rework the overlay standards into a more meaningful and reasonable parameters. That has been accomplished and is being presented tonight. In addition, the final version of the replat is now ready for review and approval. Mr. Chris Frommell of Lakeside Development reviewed the Planned Development Overlay Standards with the Commissioners. East lot was reviewed and a maximum yet reasonable sized home was envisioned. The Commission was particularly concerned that a home would not consume the entire lot, since many of the lots are substantially smaller than typical lots. The required minimum open space is seen as the inverse of lot coverage, so the minimum open space proposed is 2,000 SF (as opposed to the normal minimum of 2,300 SF). The maximum floor area ratios were re-calculated and they now range from 50% to 80% (as opposed to the normal 40%). The State has reviewed the plat has this version reflects their comments in that the plat is now titled "Replat of Mariners Point" as opposed to the previous "Mariners Point II." Plan Commissioners discussed the new standards. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the revised OPD, Planned Development Overlay Standards as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

REPLAT OF MARINERS POINT (FINAL PLAT): City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. Mr. Chris Frommell stated that the replat of Mariners Points now had 7 lots instead of 9 lots. He reviewed the outlot with the Commissioners. Commissioners reviewed the new replatted lots. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER VOIGT to approve the final version of the replat as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

REZONE 1330 WEST GRAND AVENUE FROM RS-2; SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENCE DISTRICT TO B-2, LOCAL SERVICE CENTER BUSINESS DISTRICT: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that the applicant currently resides at this address. She also owns and operates the Port Veterinary Clinic on South Webster Street. Her plans are to sell that property and relocate the clinic operations to the Grand Avenue property. The property is currently zoned residential, however, all of the property to the west is zoned B-2, Local Service Center Business District. To the east, the properties are residential and open space. On the north, there is also undeveloped open space. This particular property is very large, over 2.5 acres in size. It is large enough to accommodate both a residence and the veterinary operation. There is sufficient room to buffer the use from the adjacent neighbors. If the property is rezoned, a conditional use grant is required to operate the clinic operation. At that time, more specifics on the use of the site, access, parking, buffers, etc. can be reviewed. The applicant would like to construct another driveway opening that would line-up directly north of Portview Drive. There will be median opening at this location once STH 33 is reconstructed. The applicant was not present at the meeting. The Plan Commissioners had some concerns regarding the noise that this business would or could produce. They would like the applicant to attend the meeting in order to answer some of their questions and concerns. MOTION BY ALDERMAN HAACKE AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA to table this item until next month. Motion carried unanimously.

PUBLIC COMMENT/APPEARANCES: Linda Nenn, a representative of the Light Station Committee, again addressed the Commissioners. She wanted to thank the Plan Commission members for their concerns regarding the property near the Light Station.

FORTHCOMING EVENTS: There were none. Commissioner Sova asked that the lighting at Rick's Lighthouse Mobil be reviewed. He had some concerns about the light spilling into the residential areas.

Roll Call: Mayor Huebner called a duly convened meeting of the Plan Commission to order at 6:33 p.m. Members present were: Commissioners Kelley, Becker, Sova, Voigt and Alderman Haacke. Also present were: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff, City Administrator Mark Grams, and City Engineer Vanden Noven, and. Absent and excused: City Building Inspector Dennis Wiese.

Public Appearances & Comments: Mayor Huebner welcomed Commissioner Voigt to the Plan Commission. He will be replacing Commissioner Davel.

a. BUILDING aDDITION TO NEWPORT SHORES RESTAURANT LOCATED AT 407 EAST JACKSON STREET: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that a site plan for an outdoor patio was reviewed and approved for Newport Shores as well as a conditional use grant to permit outdoor dining. The owner is proposing to add a kitchen on the southwest corner of the restaurant. The Design Review Board had concerns regarding two issues: 1) the mix and match rooflines created by this addition with respect to the existing rooflines and 2) the building materials on the addition and the restaurant itself. The Board concurred that there were no alternatives for the rooflines and that it is not fair to request new building materials on the restaurant, in fact, it looks quaint to some. There was concerned however, with the building not complying with the site plan approval given for the parking lot. Landscaped areas were required in the parking lot entry area and to this date have not been installed. The owner of the property was present and informed the Commissioners that the landscaping would be completed this week. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BECKER to approve the building addition as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

4. B. GROUND LEVEL PATIO AND LOOK-OUT ADDITION FOR SCHOONER PUB LOCATED AT 114 NORTH FRANKLLIN STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that the owners of the Schooner Pub are interested in improving their property which is adjacent to the Smith Brothers/Lighthouse Development renovation. They would like to continue the sidewalk which will be built behind the new Smith Brothers and construct an at-grade patio with landscaping beds and an attached outdoor deck or look-out. The upper area would take advantage of the views of the lake and harbor. Several years ago, this property had an outdoor deck that was later enclosed. The proposal is consistent with the approved plan for Smith Brothers and yet is distinctively different. The landscaping and sidewalk are similar, however, both the patio and out-look are a different heights than the adjacent boardwalk. Stained colored concrete pylons will be used to support the deck rather than wood and a railing system will enclose the deck. The landscaped area provides a buffer to the adjacent use and eliminates the possibility of drinks being dumped on patrons below. The top of the railing will not be flat so no drinks may be placed there. The concept plan reviewed and approved for Smith Brothers showed a dumpster enclosure for this area. Staff and the owners of Schooner’s and representatives of Lighthouse Development have agreed that the most optimum location for a trash enclosure is farther north across the alley and behind the M & I property. If this site plan is approved, the owner would need a license agreement from the City, similar to the one approved for the adjacent Smith Brothers project. Mike Muller from Haag Muller reviewed the plans with the Commissioners. He reviewed the boardwalk, the landscaping border, and the type of materials to be used for the pylons. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER VOIGT to approve the site plan as presented and request that the Common Council review and approve a license agreement to permit such project and use. Motion carried unanimously.

BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR THE GRAFTON STATE BANK PLAZA LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF STH 32 AND EAST SAUK ROAD: City Planner Tetzlaff stated that the Plan Commission reviewed and approved a concept plan for this property containing mix retail, a drive-thru bank and a gasoline convenience store/car wash. The owners have gone ahead and requested annexation which should be approved later this month by the Common Council. A final building and site plan has now been submitted for Phase 1 which includes only the mixed retail and drive-thru bank. Since the time that the concept plan was approved, the owners have acquired surplus right-of-way parcels from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. This land upon annexation will be zoned AG, Agricultural, but will need to be rezoned prior to its development. The commercial land to the north owned by Brendan Sullivan is also zoned AG. However, when the Plan Commission approved the zoning for the Woodridge Condominium project, we discussed that the adjoining commercial lands would likely be zoned as a planned development. The DRB found the front and side elevations of the building to be acceptable. They did have concerns with the rear elevation (the one facing Cardinal Drive). Several suggestions were made for making this side of the building look less like a rear elevation. The DRB also wanted the driveway turning radius increased to make it easier for vehicles using the bank drive-thru land. The joint driveway with the adjacent property makes sense; however, an agreement is needed between the two property owners. The Board also felt that a pedestrian connection is needed to connect the Sauk Road sidewalk to the front of the retail building. The parking as shown exceeds the City’s requirement so the Board suggested a possible reduction. The owner feels that the additional parking will be needed. The light was discussed and it is dark sky compliant. The site has extensive open space and landscaping, including a decorative wall. The proposed monument sign on the corner of Sauk and Cardinal as proposed is an attractive design feature; however, its location would be within the base zoning setback requirements. A planned development overlay could allow for its proposed location. The appropriate base zoning for this commercial area is B-2, Local Business Service. The B-2 base zoning will require a conditional use grant to permit the gasoline/car wash operation. The OPD, planned development overlay zoning would encompass this site and eventually the commercial lands to the north currently owned by Brendan Sullivan. The overlay would allow for the proposed monument sign on this site, but more importantly, allow for joint development of this and the adjoining site. Commissioners discussed the site plan, parking and monument sign. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to approve the site plan as presented subject to a signed access agreement between adjoining property owners, an approved storm water management plan; and further tweaking of the rear building façade. Motion carried unanimously.

REZONE LANDS ON THE CORNER OF STH 32 AND EAST SAUK ROAD FROM AG, AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO OPD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY WITH A BASE ZONING OF B-2, LOCAL SERVICE CENTER BUSINESS DISTRICT: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Plan Commissioners. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to recommend approval to the Common Council to rezone lands from AG, Agricultural District to OPD, Planned Development Overlay with a base coning of B-2, Local Service Center Business District. Motion carried unanimously.

CONDITIONAL USE GRANT TO PERMIT THE SALE OF USED VEHICLES AT 927 SOUTH SPRING STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that a conditional use grant was approved to allow C & M Auto to sell used vehicles at 925 South Spring Street in the area north of the former Flaherty/EVS auto repair building. C & M has been slow in developing the business, but still plans to do so in the future. Subsequently, a certified survey map was approved for this property that divided it into 3 separate lots, a south parcel which is the subject of this request; a middle lot where the main building and C & M Auto operates from; and a north lot that is currently vacant. A joint access easement is also a part of the CSM. The lot here in question has been home to a variety of uses including a carpet and flooring sales and a dance studio. Now the applicant desires to open a used vehicle sales business in northern-most building space. The business would be relocated from a location on Teutonia in Milwaukee. This is a separate lot, a CUG may be granted to allow this use. The applicant proposed to park some of the used vehicles in front of the landscape island, but not in the access easement. There will be parking for customers and employees. A two-sided monument sign would be located in front of the landscape island. The applicant stated that the vehicles will sell for around $3,000 to $10,000. The Plan Commissioners discussed this item. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BECKER AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA to approve the conditional use grant subject to the monument sign to be in conformance with new sign code; no saleable vehicles in rear; employee parking in rear; only 4 vehicles in front of the landscaped island; a total of 10 vehicles for sale; used vehicles parked in front may not encroach into the access easement area; and customer parking should replace the used car stalls in front of building. Motion carried unanimously.

RECONSIDERATION OF A CONDITIONAL USE GRANT TO PERMIT THE OPERATION OF A RECYCLING FACILITY FOR PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE LOCATED AT 775 SCHMITZ DRIVE: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that in 1993, the City approved a CUG for Schmitz Ready Mix to permit concrete crushing by using portable equipment. A contingency was that the CUG must be renewed every 5 years. In 1998 the CUG was again renewed. The apparent reason for the 5 year renewal is that when the applicant accumulates enough material, they then need to crush it. That accumulation period happens once every 5 years. The City has no document tracking policy in place; therefore, nobody in the office was aware of the need to reconsider the CUG in 2003. It was the applicant who brought this matter to our attention. The City has not received any complaints in the past regarding the crushing operation. Nothing has changed on the site since the CUG was last renewed. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BECKER to approve the conditional use grant for another 5 year period with the same conditions applied as in the past. Motion carried unanimously.

CERTIFIED SURVEY MAP FOR 124 WEST WASHINGTON STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that the City agreed to convey a small strip of land adjacent to the fire station to the applicant. The strip of land has been used by the owners of this property for years as parking. The current owner would like to eventually build a garage. The property has now been conveyed and one of the conditions was that a CSM be prepared. The CSM conforms to Chapter 236 of the State Platting Statute and to our subdivision code. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to approve the Certified Survey Map as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

CERTIFIED SURVEY MAP FOR 120 WEST JACKSON STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this Certified Survey Map with the Commissioners. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BACKER to approve the Certified Survey Map as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

REPLAT OF MARINERS POINT (PRELIMINARY PLAT): City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that the Plan Commissioners recently approved a concept plan for revising the Mariners Point neighborhood. The lots are to be made larger, 2 lots are to be eliminated, and the central common area containing the garages will be eliminated in favor of having each lot supply its own garage. The developers would convey the remaining reservoir wall to the City as well as a small parcel west of the Light House. A preliminary replat has now been submitted for consideration. Chris Frommell of Lakeside Development reviewed the replat for the Commissioners. A copy has already been submitted to the State for their review. If this is approved by the Plan Commissioners and the State, the applicant will then prepare a revised final plat which will need Common Council approval. The Plan Commissioners reviewed the new plat. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE VANDEN NOVEN to approve the replat as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

REZONE MARINERS POINT (REVISED OPD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY STANDARDS): City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that since the Commission has approved the preliminary replat of Mariners Point and the lots have been reconfigured, the development standards under the planned development overlay have changed slightly in terms of setback, floor area ratio, and open space. He reviewed the new standards with the Commissioners. The Commissioners discussed the new standards and asked that the staff continue to work on them and bring them back to the next meeting.

A. Vision Statement: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed the Vision Statement that the Citizen Advisory Committee created. They met with staff from both SEWRPC and the County and agreed to this statement. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to accept the vision statement created by the Citizen Advisory Committee as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

B. Population Estimate For 2035: City Planner Tetzlaff stated that the Committee agrees that the estimates provided by SEWRPC were too conservative because of the latest WI Department of Administration estimates for January 1, 2005 is 10,970. Their estimates ranged from 11,197 to 14,392. The Citizen Advisory Committee recommendation for the population is 14,500. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to approve the population estimate from the Citizen Advisory Committee of 14,500. Motion carried unanimously.

PUBLIC COMMENT/APPEARANCES: There were none.

FORTHCOMING EVENTS: Commissioner Sova had some concerns regarding the lights on the building located at the old Burger King site.

Public Appearances & Comments: There was none.

a. SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO EXCEED THE HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS FOR A NEW DETACHED GARAGE LOCATED AT 317 WEST JACKSON STREET: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that the applicant is proposing to construct a new detached garage on his lot. The height of the ready made garage package exceeds the maximum building height by 13 inches. A neighbor’s garage is over 20 feet in height. The surrounding neighbors were contacted regarding this request and nobody has objected. MOTION BY COMMISSIONERS DAVEL AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEERING VANDEN NOVEN to approve the special exception to allow a detached garage to exceed the height requirement by 13 inches as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

4. B. SITE AND LIGHTING PLAN FOR THE THOMAS JEFFERSON SOCCER FIELDS ON NORTH GRANT STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed the site plan with the Commissioners. He stated that the Plan Commission previously approved a site plan for the soccer field that included fencing, concession stand location, and bleachers. The soccer club is now requesting approval of the final concession building plan, scoreboard location, and field lighting. The Design Review Board recommended approval subject to constructing the concession building with a two-tone look and adding some landscaping to the north end of the field and along the west side of the field behind the team areas and the scoreboard. (A landscaping plan is to be reviewed and approved by staff). MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to approve the site and lighting plan for the soccer fields with the Design Review Board recommendation. Motion carried unanimously.

ANNEXATION OF LANDS IN THE TOWN OF PORT WASHINGTON LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SAUK ROAD AND STH 32: City Planner Tetzlaff stated that Trudy LLC is submitting a request to annex land (the old Port Motel) located on the northwest corner of East Sauk Road and STH 32. Previously, the Plan Commission reviewed and approved a concept plan for the land. That plan proposed a neighborhood commercial development containing a bank, a gasoline station and convenience store, a car wash, and space for one or two commercial businesses. The annexation parcel contains the Port Motel property and vacant right-of-way that the State of Wisconsin is conveying to Trudy as well as the STH 32 right-of-way. There are islands created by this annexation. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BECKER to approve the annexation as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

CERTIFIED SURVEY MAP FOR FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH LOCATED AT 131 NORTH WEBSTER STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff stated that the City has finally conveyed the land lying between Sauk Creek and North Webster Street to the First Congregational Church. Conditions of the conveyance included restrictive covenants and utility and retaining wall easements. Those too have been approved. The final condition was that a CSM be prepared that combines the church property with the new lands. The survey conforms to Section 18, City Subdivision Ordinance and Chapter 236, State Platting. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL to approve the CSM as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

PERMIT REDUCTION IN LOT SIZE OF A NON-CONFORMING LOT [refer to SEC. 10.12.020 (3) (iii)] LOCATED AT 120 EAST JACKSON STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff stated that this is a last minute addition to the agenda. The applicant previously went before the Board of Appeals and received a setback variance but was denied a side yard offset variance to permit construction of a deck over the garage at 403 North Harrison Street. He has tried other avenues in order to get the deck built and this is his latest attempt. He now proposes to convey a 6 foot strip of land from the adjoining lot located at 120 East Jackson Street and add it to the lot located at 403 North Harrison Street. This conveyance will allow sufficient side yard area to permit the deck to be constructed. However, the conveyance will also reduce the side of an overly small non-conforming lot. Mr. Jerry Baganz presented his requested to the Commissioners. The Commissioners discussed this issue. MOTION COMMISSIONER BECKER AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL to approve the reduction in lot size as presented. Commissioners continued to discuss the pros and cons of changing the lot line of both properties. MOTION TO AMEND THE MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BECK AND SECONDED BY COMISSIONER DAVEL to create a conforming offset for both properties (6 feet on both sides) by redrawing the lot line in such a way that the square footage of each lot is not altered. Motion carried unanimously.

PUBLIC COMMENT/APPEARANCES: There were none.

FINAL BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR NEW OFFICE CONDOMINIUMS ALONG EAST SEVEN HILLS ROAD: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He reminded the Commissioners that several months ago the Commission reviewed and approved a concept plan for the vacant parcel next to the Country Inn and Suites. The approved plan included three office condominium buildings with shared parking with the hotel. The parcel was also rezoned to allow for a shallower setback for easier pedestrian access. A final building and site plan is now being presented for review and approval that includes attractive brick buildings, landscaping, and sidewalk connections to the bike trail. Mr. Peter Didier reviewed the plan for the Commissioners. The new plan is a high quality design. The developer has chosen to use brick on all building facades. The landscaping meets and satisfies our local ordinance. The sidewalk connection to the bike trail is compatible with the objective of rezoning the property. The parking on site and with the adjacent hotel also satisfies our parking ordinance requirements. The Design Review Board recommended approval. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the final building and site plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

REVISED SITE PLAN FOR AN EXISTING COMMUNITY BASED RESIDENTIAL FACILITY LOCATED AT 236 NORTH SPRING STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners.

The owners are proposing to alter the site that includes removal and repaving of portions of the parking area, some new landscaping, and adding of some patio area. The Design Review Board was concerned about the existing parking stall located close to North Spring Street and the lack of landscaping. The parking stall is needed since the lot is to be removed and replaced. The DRB felt that the lot configuration could be modified. The Design Review Board recommended approval subject to the increasing the parking setback by 5 feet and adding more landscaping to the site particularly to the street frontage. Mr. Brad Zwicker presented his revised site plan to the Commission.

SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR NEW GARAGE TO PERMIT SIZE, HEIGHT, AND SETBACK RELIEF LOCATED AT 138 EAST DOUGLAS STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. The property owner is proposing to demolish his existing non-conforming garage and construct a new, larger detached garage on the rear portion of his lot. The new garage will exceed the district's height requirement by 6' 4", will be 120 sq. ft. larger than allowed by ordinance, and will encroach into the North Lakeview Avenue setback area. The new garage is an attractive structure for a 2+ vehicles and is side-loaded to the street. It has a room for storage upstairs, or for possible future office use. The owner is a home designer and could occupy the space as a home occupation. A rear 10' alley shown on the plan is dedicated right-of-way but is unpaved. It may be a future candidate for a street vacation. The garage is shown to encroach into the Lakeview setback; the DRB agreed that the placement that is perpendicular to the street to hide the garage doors is preferable. In addition, the placement is partially obscured by landscaping. The adjacent property owner does have concerns with the height and the placement of the garage. Mr. Christopher Mann reviewed his site plan with the Commissioners. Commissioner Kelley had serious concerns regarding this project. He was not entirely satisfied that it fit with the neighborhood. Mrs. Beth Streacker of North Lakeview Avenue stated that they were just notified today and they had many concerns with the size, height and placement. She stated that it is beautifully designed but maybe not a good choice for the neighborhood. Commissioners discussed the pros and cons of this project. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA to send this site plan back to the Design Review Board. Motion carried unanimously.

The building is located behind their main facility, which fronts onto Mineral Springs Drive. The proposed addition matches the existing building with masonry belt-line and metal walls system above. The plan as shown adds more landscaping to make the entire site compliant with our new point system.

NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION DISTRICT REVIEW OF NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ALONG POWERS STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that this is our first review under the recently adopted Neighborhood Preservation District Review. The proposed single-family residence is to be built on a lot in the Mariners Point development. The home is referred to a "cottage home" but the design is really a cross between the "shingle" and "stick" style home. The design of these homes includes wide porches, rough hewn, or pattered sidewall shingles, stick work, eaves at different levels, raised masonry foundations, and gable braces. The home is turned slight on the lot for better orientation as one approaches along Powers Street. The garage is a tuck under design to maximize the use of the small lot. The DRB agreed that the design was appropriate for Mariners Point and would represent a good start to the "historic" them for the development. The Design Review Board recommends approval. Mr. Dennis Riley was present to answer any questions. MOTION BY ALDERMAN HAACKE AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to approve the site plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

CONCEPT PLAN FOR NEW CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT ALONG SUNSET ROAD LOCATED WEST OF GREYSTONE SUBDIVISION: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item for the Commissioners. He stated that the farm property immediately west of Greystone has an accepted offer from Cedar Development, LLC. They have submitted a concept plan that contains a mix of 2-unit and 8-unit condominiums; primarily aimed at the 55+ market. If the Plan Commission approves the concept plan, the developer will proceed with annexation of the property. The property is with in the City's sewer service limits and based on our boundary agreement with the Town. It is the western most extension of the community at this point. This development will be a self-contained development, like Woodridge with private roads, refuses pick-up, etc. It is a mix of building styles with the lower density duplexes adjacent to Greystone. From Greystone, Granite Lane extends only partially into this property. Four lots are shown that would be market rate and NOT be a part of this development. Further north, Willow Drive would be extended to connect to this property. The density of the proposed project is five dwelling units per acre, which is similar to Woodridge and far less dense than New Port Vista (over seven du/acre). The developer projects the unit pricing to be in the $165,000 to $175,000 range for the 8-units and $225,000 to $275,000 for the side-by-side units. Many of the side-by-side units will be rear walkouts. The development is important to the City in that it will allow Sunset Road to be reconstructed next year. A bike lane along the north side of Sunset Road will provide a pedestrian connection for the development. The Commissioners had several concerns regarding the 8-family units and their location in the development. Mayor Huebner addressed the need for more senior housing but had concerns with the multi-family units. Alderman Haacke also had concerns with the 8-family units. The Commissioners suggested that the development make some modifications regarding the units on the higher elevations, and suggested modifying the 8-units into possible 4-units. NO ACTION WAS TAKEN.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ZONING FOR LAKE POINTE CONDONINIUMS ON NORTH WISCONSIN STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners.

He stated that the Common Council agreed to convey the land lying between Sauk Creek and North Webster Street and south of the First Congregational Church to the Church. Because there are some buried utility lines and a retaining wall on the parcel, the City receives a perpetual easement to secure access to the property and maintain the utilities and retaining wall. The easement agreement has been prepared and/or reviewed by the City Attorney. It is his opinion that both the Plan Commission and Common Council must approve the easement agreement. MOTION BY ALDERMAN HAACKE AND SECONDED BY MAYOR HUEBNER to recommend to the Common Council the approval for the Utility and Retaining Wall Easement to be conveyed to the First Congregational Church as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

The proceeds from the sale of the land would go toward endowing a new community foundation. The land parcel is divided almost in two because of an intermittent stream and some wetlands. It was originally thought that the entire site would be industrial, during discussions on joint land use planning with the Town, it was agreed that the eastern portion is better suited for residential use. The annexation has already been submitted to the State and has been found to be in the public interest. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to recommend to the Common Council the approval for the annexation of lands in the Town of Port Washington as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

CERTIFIED SURVEY MAP FOR 124 WEST WASHINGTON STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that both the Commission and Common Council discussed the conveyance of land along the west property line of the Fire Station.

REVISED DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR MARINERS POINT NEIGHBORHOOD: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that Mariners Point was a previously approved planned development project with eight smaller sized single-family lots clustered around a courtyard outlot containing detached garage structures. The homes to be built on those lots were to be built in a historic theme. It now seems that the market is not responding to the concept of the detached garages being located in a center outlot. The developers would like to reconfigure the lot layout by eliminating the center outlot, reducing the number of lots from 8 to 6, and making most of the lots larger. Several of the garages would now be located as tuck-under garages or be attached to the rear of the new homes. In addition, the new plan shows the deeding of the retaining wall behind the Light Station to the City and deeding a small portion of Lot 1 to the Light Station. The proposed reconfiguration would increase the green space; reduce the amount of impervious surface (asphalt parking and garage roofs, it would eliminate a garage structure from an area right behind the Light Station; it would also eliminate condominium arrangement for the garages structure; and it would now ensure that the retaining wall would never be altered, because altering the wall could affect drainage and runoff on the Light Station property. Dennis Riley presented his plan to the Commissioners. The Design Review Board agreed that the new plan was better than originally approved. The Board felt that by agreeing to approve the revised plan, the developer should now agree to construct the proposed walkway improvements along Powers Street. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL to approve the revised development plan for Mariners Point as presented. The developer will need to submit a revised plat and the planned development overlay provisions affecting the development would have to be amended. The walkway will be presented at the Common Council for their review. Motion carried unanimously.

He stated that as a follow up to the approved concept plan and the execution of a license agreement allowing use of a City right-of-way, Lighthouse Development LLC is now submitting final building and site plans for the Smith Brothers project. Sean Robbins of Lighthouse Development LLC and Mike Muller of Haag Muller reviewed their plans with the Commissioners. The building plans show a new first floor facade on all three sides that include new windows, transoms, doorways, a new roof, and an awning system along the south elevation. Site plans show the new boardwalk, landscape planters, stairs, and sidewalk. Proposed landscaping includes not only the areas around Smith Brothers, but also suggestions for the areas on the south side of East Grand Avenue and for areas around the pump station. These suggestions are made so that the landscaping is both compatible and integrated. The Design Review Board was impressed with both the building and site plans. The Design Review Board recommended approval subject to alternative landscaping plans being presented at the Plan Commission. MOTION BY ALDERMAN HAACKE AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BECKER to approve the building and site plan for Smith Brothers Market Place as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

RECONSIDER SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO EXCEED THE HEIGHT AND SIZE REQUIREMENTS FOR A MONUMENT SIGN AT 1190 MINERAL SPRINGS ROAD: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that this item is being brought back to the Plan Commission at the request of Alderman Johnson, who sat in during the last meeting. He is concerned about the message the City is conveying to business with regard to the Manitowoc Crane sign. His specific request is that we consider amending the monument sign standards to be more flexible in the I-2 Industrial Park and BP, Business Park Districts. City Planner Tetzlaff stated that many other communities provide different standards for signs in industrial and/or business parks. One such standard could be that the sign height or size relative to the size of height of the building, subject to a maximum standard. Alderman Johnson was also concerned that a rigid size limit. Alderman Johnson discussed his concerns with the Plan Commission members. The Plan Commissioner members reviewed their decision with Alderman Johnson. NO ACTION TAKEN.

RECONSIDER MONUMENT SIGN STANDARDS IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK AND BUSINESS PARK DISTRICTS (REQUEST BY THE COMMON COUNCIL): City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He informed that Commissioners that the Common Council had requested this item be placed on the agenda. He stated that the Monument Sign Standards could be to changed read: Option #1) Within planned development overlay areas (2.3 acres for commercial and mixed-use sites and 4.6 acres for industrial sites); the standards may be increased by Plan Commission approval. Approvals could be granted for signs up to 24 feet in height and up to 200 SF in size. Manitowoc Crane (5.24 acres) could be rezoned as an OPD and approval could then be granted. These new standards could also be applied to a future Allen-Edmonds sign as well as for new business park development along CTH LL and Knellsville or Option #2) Within I-2 and BP districts, we apply more permissive standards by "right." Standards would be a maximum height of 24 feet and size would be based on 60 SF per acre up to a maximum of 200 SF. The 40% of base to total size would still apply. Proposed Manitowoc sign would conform (156 SF and 24 feet) or Option #3) We do nothing; ordinance standards remain the same. Commissioners discussed this item. Some Commissioners were for changes the ordinance and others were against any changes and wanted to keep it the same.

NEW DESIGN REVIEW AND SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that some members of the Design Review Board who are interested in improving the design review process and making more meaningful. Their hope is that fewer projects are referred back to them from the Plan Commission and that if there are concerns of the Commission, that such concerns are conveyed to the DRB prior to their meeting so they can be addressed. The newly proposed procedures are: 1) The DRB will now meet on the first Tuesday of the month; 2) The agenda and material will be mailed to the Board on the preceding Friday. Materials from the applicant will be due one-week prior. That will give the applicants more than sufficient time to deliver a complete package of materials; 3) Along with sending the materials to the DRB, the same materials will be sent to the Plan Commissioners. The Commissioners will have time to review the materials before reading about the items in the Ozaukee Press and more importantly, will allow the Commissioners to contact my office of any concerns; 4) The DRB requests changes or make recommendations for change, the applicant will have time to make all corrections before the Plan Commission agenda and packet is mailed. The Commissioners will then have seen the original versions of the request (as sent to the DRB) and later the final version recommended by the DRB; and 5) All building and site plans will be placed on a consent agenda for the Plan Commission. Any item that Commissioners want to discuss in more detail may be removed for further discussion. Some of the proposed changes should make for better plans that are eventually approved and should help to streamline the Plan Commission meetings. It will also allow my office to see the final plans prior the Plan Commission meeting. The Commissioners reviewed this item and thought that it was a good idea.

PUBLIC COMMENT/APPEARANCES: There were none.

SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO EXCEED THE HEIGHT AND SIZE REQUIREMENTS FOR A MONUMENT SIGN FOR MANITOWOC CRANES: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. Manitowoc Crane Group recently acquired Exactech in the Industrial Park. They have designed a new monument sign for their new facility. This sign was fabricated in France and stands over 20 feet in height. This is a corporate designed sign and was designed without knowledge of the local zoning regulations. The proposed sign is on a 5-1/2 foot masonry base, which places the total height at 26 feet and an approximate size of 169 square feet. The proposed size exceeds both our maximum 12-foot height limit and 125 square foot size limit. The scale of the sign does fit well with the size of the former Exactech building. The Design Review Board expressed concerns that if a special exception were granted for this sign, it would be difficult to not recommend the same for other larger signs in the future. A representative from Manitowoc Crane was present and discussed the company’s options. The Commissioners discussed this and suggested cutting the sign in half and erecting 2 smaller signs and/or attaching signs to the building façade. NO ACTION WAS TAKEN.

A future phase may include converting the lower level into a meeting and/or banquet facility. Mr. Dennis Cooper was present to discuss his plans. The outdoor dining area will require a conditional use grant. The Design Review Board suggested adding the on-site parking stalls, adding more lighting to the outdoor dining area, and having the outdoor dining area enclosed with the wrought iron and brick walls. The Design Review Board also suggested landscaping be added to the outdoor dining area. Mr. Cooper stated that he would add some type of potted plants and trees to the outdoor area so that the plants could be moved if more area was needed. He also stated that a handicapped ramp/lift would be added for the entrance to the lower level. Commissioners discussed this item and agreed that it would be a nice addition to the downtown area.

BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR NEW COMMERCIAL BUILDING AT 1100 SOUTH SPRING STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that this property was be annexed into the City on May 16, 2006. The plans for the property are for a new commercial building to be built and owned by the applicant. The applicant will then lease the building to Fastenal, a major distributor of industrial and commercial supplies. This property is also located in the arterial gateway overlay, which, provides for "higher" standards of architecture and for the parking to be located in the rear, or as approved by the Plan Commission. This lot needs to be raised to street grade and due to the size of the proposed building and steep lot line grades on the side; the applicant is requesting that the parking be placed in the front of the building. Most Fastenal stores are expanded and the owner has placed the building to accommodate future expansion to the rear. The Design Review Board reviewed the site plan and concurred that there is a practical difficulty placing parking on the rear or side. The intent of placing parking in the rear is to shield it from view; the Board felt that both berms and extensive landscaping could accomplish this. The Design Review Board also suggested that the window lines, entry area, building materials and some colors be changed. The signage will be restricted to the wall elevation. Mr. Peter Van Dyke of the Dowling Company reviewed his building and site plan for the Commissioners. The Commissioners discussed the building materials, changes to the windows, parking and landscaping for the front of the building. City Engineer Vanden Noven suggested an additional window in an office area on the bay area side. Mr. Van Dyke stated that the signage would be mounted on the building. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the Building and Site Plan for a new commercial building at 1100 South Spring Street as presented subject to the additional window on the bay area and the plantings in the front of the building.

REVISED BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR THE WOODRIDGE CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He informed that Commissioners that the owner of the Woodridge Condominium Development had sold this property to Mr. Brendan Sullivan. The building and site plan for this property had approval for 12 detached single-family condos, 15 duplex condos, and ten 4-family condos. An OPD was also approved for this project, but the condo plat was never completed. There is also land to the east of the condos that will be developed for commercial use. Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Jim Read were present to discuss their revised building and site plan for this property. Mr. Sullivan is proposing to retain the same density (82 units) and concept, however, he would like to revise the site plan and modify the building plans. The new plans include better utilization of the topography; less grading; more clustering of the buildings and more green space; and greatly improved building facades. Mr. Sullivan’s new building and site plan is similar to Mr. Vic DeToro’s plan for the development near Stonecroft that came before the Commission several years ago. That development was never built. The Design Review Board was impressed with the proposed changes. The first phase would include the one and two-family units. Architectural restrictions would be in-place; however, individual owners adhering to the City's one and two-family design standards would build the detached single-family units. The developer would construct the two-families, which would be designed around a central courtyard theme. The second phase would be the 4-family units and not likely to happen until the commercial development is underway or completed. The applicant discussed the buildings site plans; the neighborhood pods, parking areas, the retention ponds and the landscaping of the site plan. Commissioner discussed this item and concerns about the turn radius in the multi-family courtyards. The Design Review Board recommended approval of the overall building and site plan as presented subject to: 1) Phase I may be completed as shown while Phase II will require building and site plan approval; 2) one and two-family units must comply with existing one and two-family design standards; 3) a more detailed landscaping plan shall be submitted and approved by staff; and 4) final grading, storm water, and engineering plans shall be submitted to the City Engineer for approval. Commissioners discussed this item and suggested a pedestrian path leading to the Interurban Bike Trail from East Sauk Road to along the private road on this property. Also, the City Engineer would like to see something other than just paved asphalt. The applicant would be looking at colored asphalt, stamped concrete or asphalt or some type of brickwork instead of just all asphalt. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the revised building and site plan as presented subject to the Design Review Boards recommendation and a proposed pedestrian easement from East Sauk Road along the private road in this property. Motion carried unanimously.

However, the developer (Blue Sky/Ansay) and the property owner (Weiss Family) have now gone their separate ways and the owner is attempting to solicit interest from other prospective developers. It appears that there is more interest if different parties are able to acquire the one and two-family, the multi-family, and the business park. A three lot certified survey map has been prepared for the Plan Commissioners review and approval. The proposed lot lines of the CSM coincide with the different proposed land uses. It appears that there is a party ready to acquire Lot 1, which is designated for the one and two-family lots. Lot 2, the multi-family parcel may also have some interest. Lot 3, which must be developed as part of a future tax increment district may be sold and developed once the other two are underway. The applicant was present to review the CSM with the Commissioners. The Commissioners discussed this item. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to approve the CSM as presented subject to the approved storm water management plan or revision thereof, approval of the WDNR NR216 permit, a road reservation be plotted on Lot 1 for Highland Drive, an approved grading plan for individual lots as they become subdivided, and a planting plan and maintenance plan be submitted for approval. Motion carried unanimously.

DECLARE AS SURPLUS LANDS PROPERTY OWNED BY THE WATER UTILITY ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF NORTH MILWAUKEE AND WEST JACKSON STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviews this item with the Commissioners. He stated that the lot on the southeast corner of North Milwaukee Street and West Jackson Street is the site of a former pump station once operated by the City’s Water Utility. The pump station is no longer is use and has no long term need for it. The Utility would like to sell it. The lot is 52 feet x 120 feet. It is zoned CCM, Central City Mixed; and is a legal lot of record. The lot sits atop a hill overlooking the police station and the views of the harbor and marina are superb. It would be a highly desirable lot for a new residential dwelling. Before the lot may be sold, the Plan Commission must first declare it surplus property. If the property were sold, the new owner would need to provide sewer and water laterals to the lot. Commissioners discussed this item and concurred that the lot should be sold. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to declare the property at the southeast corner of North Milwaukee Street and West Jackson Street as surplus lands. Motion carried unanimously.

FUTURE LAND USE FOR WE ENERGIES PROPERTY LYING ALONG SOUTH DIVISION STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that WE Energies owns a vacant parcel of land lying along South Division Street, south of Western Avenue. It is bordered on the west by other utility line used for the transmission line and the former Trak/JLG plant. On the south is older, single family and duplexes lying in the Town. Across Division Street on the east are more single-family residences and vacant utility land. The parcel also contains a single-family residence that is rented by the utility. We Energies has internally decided that is no longer needs to retain this parcel and would like to place it on the market. It has requested the City to determine its highest and best use. It is currently zoned PUL, Public and Utility Land. The bluff lands farther south soon to be owned by the City via WE Energies will be residential. Our joint land use plan with the Town of Port Washington designated the land just to the west of the bluff land to be residential. The existing residences along Division across the street and the rental unit are nice-looking wood frame structures, many with front porches. The future disposition of the former Trak facility is questionable. Staff would like to see further industrial use there, but it remains an extremely difficult property to market. There has been some interest expressed to clear the site for another undesignated use. It is apparent that residential use is the highest and best use for the WE Energies property. The Design Review Board suggested the land be a low-density residential area. Commissioners discussed this item and made several suggestions as what type of housing would be appropriate for the area. Commissioners also discussed what type of density would be a good fit for this property. Commissioners did suggest that staff should communicate with WE Energies and possibly have WE Energies donate the land to the City. City Engineer Vanden Noven suggested that the City should negotiate with WE Energies to place utility lines underground for new subdivisions. Staff would look into both of these items.

REVISE ZONING CODE 20.24.000 FOR PARKING AND LOADING AREA REQUIREMENTS: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that Alderman Haacke asked that this item be brought back to the Plan Commission. Alderman Haacke had concerns about the wording in Chapter 20.24.000 Item A, 4, B. Commissioners discussed this paragraph. The wording should read "Such vehicle or trailer shall also be parked perpendicular to the street right of way line and not extend over any portion of the sidewalk and/or street right of way line." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the wording as presented. Commissioner Kelley had a problem with that wording. He doesn't see the need for it. City Engineer Vanden Noven agreed with Commissioner Kelley. Alderman Haacke stated that the wording should be consistent. Commissioners discussed the wording. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to amend the motion to remove the wording "perpendicular to the street right of way line" and replace it with "parallel to the direction of the driveway". Motion carried unanimously on the amended motion. Motion carried unanimously on the original motion.

REVISED ZONING CODE 20.34.000 FOR CONDITIONAL USES IN THE CCM DISTRICT: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that the Common Council had asked the Commissioners to review this item again. He informed the Commissioners that at the last meeting, Mr. Schanen asked to have this area along South Milwaukee Street rezoned to B-3 for his printing business. Mr. Schanen would like to build an addition on to his building at this location. A public hearing was held and some of the neighbors were against the change in zoning. The Common Council recommended that this property should stay as CCM with adding printing and publishing houses and related activities as a permitted use. Commissioners discussed this item and suggested that no trucks should make deliveries before 7:00 a.m. and not after 8:00 p.m. Also that semi-trucks should not be allowed to run all night and refuse pickup should not begin before 7:00 a.m. Signs would be install if this became a problem. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to recommend to the Common Council to approve the revise the zoning of the CCM, Central City Mix to include printing and publishing houses and related activities as a permitted use. Motion carried unanimously.

ALLOW A DETACHED GARAGE TO BE BUILT WITH SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS FOR HEIGHT AND SIZE AT 503 WEST CHESTNUT STREET: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that the applicant desires to remove the existing garage and replace it with a new oversized garage. The new garage will be higher than 15 feet and larger than 720 square feet. No setback relief is needed because of the averaging rule. The owner has agreed to add stone or masonry to the façade at the request of the Design Review Board. Only one neighbor is impacted and has no objection. The Design Review Board recommends granting a special exception to permit a new garage to be built at a height of 23 feet and 816 square feet in size subject to adding a 4 foot masonry beltline around the perimeter of the garage. Some Commissioners had concerns regarding the height of the garage and the driveway approach. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL to approve as presented. Motion failed for lack of a second. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA to approve the special exception to allow a detached garage to be built as approved by the Design Review Board except that the height of the roof which should not exceed 15 ft. Motion carried unanimously.

CONCEPT PLAN CONCEPT PLAN FOR NEW SINGLE FAMILY INFILL RESIDENCE ALONG THE 100 BLOCK OF WEST DODGE STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed the concept plan with the Commissioners. The owners are proposing to build a new single family residence on vacant land behind/adjacent to their commercial property along West Dodge Street. If this is approved, the next step would involve vacating a portion of North Harrison Street; followed by creation of a new lot by certified survey map; and finally rezoning the new lot from B-2, Local Service Center District to CCM, Central City Mixed. The Design Review Board has reviewed this concept plan. This plan includes more green space and better accommodates the needs of the adjacent business which needs truck access off West Dodge Street. The new infill home will buffer the auto business to the north from the adjacent residential neighborhood and provides a nice transition to Columbia Park. The Park and Recreation Department has plans to remove the chain link fence and replace with plantings. The proposed plan provides by easement, needed access to both the auto business and the businesses and residences currently owned by the applicant. The project will satisfy current open space and floor area ratios for the CCM district. The Design Review Board recommended approval of the concept plan. Mr. Mark Speas was present to answer any questions that the Commission might have. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to approve the concept plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

BUILDING AND SITE PLAN IMPROVEMENTS FOR ARBYS RESTAURANT LOCATED AT 100 THOMAS DRIVE: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this building and site plan with the Commissioners. Arby’s owners are proposing both interior and exterior remodeling as well as adding some new landscaping. They contemplated replacing the existing pole mount sign, but the community welcome sign effectively blocks the vision of any monument sign. There is a wide terrace and the monument must be set back an additional 10 feet. The exterior façade modifications will modernize the dated exterior and are similar to that done to other area Arby’s. The additional landscaping will now meet our point totals. Staff reviewed the new sign code and if the sign is not altered or the wording is not changed, the sign may remain. The applicant does not wish to alter the sign at this time, just maintain it. However, in the future, if the corporate Arby’s logo changes, they will be back to seek a special exception. The Design Review Board recommends approval of the building and site plan as presented. Commissioners did have concerns with the drive thru. The applicant stated he would explore options in changing the drive thru. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL to approve the building and site plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR A DRIVE-THRU COFFEE KIOSK AT THE CORNER OF NORTH WISCONSIN STREET AND EAST WHITEFISH ROAD: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Plan Commissioners. City Brew Coffee, a national entity located in Montana is proposing to place a kiosk on the site of the former D & G Club, which was destroyed by fire several years ago. The site has remained vacant and most of the lot is graveled and has been used to park vehicles. This kiosk will be owned and operated by a local party who is also placing other similar kiosk in neighboring communities. The current zoning is B-2 with a Highway Overlay. The overlay permits auto related businesses. The kiosk is a temporary structure and may be moved when the land lease is terminated. While there is power, the unit is self-contained. A restroom agreement has been provided by the land owners. The Design Review Board recommends approval of the building and site plan subject to replacing the pavement in the front area with grass and shrubs; adding additional grassy area to the rear; adding a bypass lane for southbound vehicles. Commissioner Kelley did not like this building on the property. Commissioners did have concerns with a metal building. They would like to see the applicant work with staff and have the building made out of other materials and have a good visual appearance with landscaping. They would like the building to blend in with the area. The Commissioners would like to have one of the bypass lanes removed from the northwest side. The Commissioners referred this item back to staff and the Design Review Board.

DECLARE THE SMITH BROTHERS FISH SHANTY ROOF-TOP SIGN A HISTORIC SIGN: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. Mr. Sean Robbins of Lighthouse Development was present to answer any questions the Commissioners might have. Lighthouse Development is the new owner and redeveloper of the former Smith Brothers Restaurant. They plan to rename the project "Smith Brothers Marketplace." A sign company has inspected the sign and found that it is in need of major repair. Apparently no maintenance has been done to the sign for several years. To properly accomplish this, the sign must be physically removed and taken back to the sign company to be repaired. Once completed, the new owners would like to have the words "Fish Shanty" removed and be replaced with "Marketplace." The Design Review Board has recommended that Plan Commission grant historic significance to the sign and then allow it to be repaired, modified, and be replaced back on the roof of the building. Commissioners discussed the sign being designated as a historical sign and having the name changed. Some Commissioners had concerns if the name is changed would the sign still be historical. Mr. Robbins stated that after the repairs are made the sign would be good for 25 to 50 years. Commissioner continued to debate the wording on the sign. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY MAYOR HUEBNER to approve the Smith Brothers sign as a historical sign. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECOND BY MAYOR HUEBNER to amend the original motion and add the wording "Marketplace" to the sign. Motion defeated on the amendment; 3 Ayes (Vanden Noven, Mayor Huebner, and Kelley) 3 Nays (Sova, Haacke, and Davel); MOTION BY ALDERMAN HAACKE AND SECONDED BY VANDEN NOVEN to amend the original motion to reconsider changing the sign wording to "Marketplace." Motion defeated on the amendment; 3 Ayes (Vanden Noven, Mayor Huebner, Haacke) 3 Nays (Kelley, Davel, and Sova). Voting on the original motion: Motion carried unanimously.

DESIGNATE A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY FOR LAKE POINTE CONDOMINIUMS: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that the applicant originally proposed this development five years as a planned development. At that time, the zoning ordinance did not allow such infill projects. The applicant also requested to purchase a portion of the hillside owned by the City in order to add more open space to the project. A development plan that was later unanimously approved by the Plan Commission consisted of 3 side-by-side condominiums and one 4-unit building (two levels of living area and one level of covered parking). Because the development is located in the CCM district, a conditional use grant was required to permit the 4-unit building. Both the Plan Commission and Common Council unanimously approved the CUG. A condominium plat was also unanimously approved by both bodies. The 3 side-by-side units have been constructed and are occupied. The floor area ratio (FAR) for the site has been attained and the 4-unit cannot be built. It seems that when the Plan Commission approved the original building and site plan, the FAR included the City-owned land which was not sold and included in the development. The Planned Development Overlay, which can be done now because the ordinance was revised, is the appropriate procedure to follow. MOTION COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to recommend to the Common Council the approval the Planned Development Overlay for Lake Pointe Condominiums as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR LAKE POINTE CONDOMINIUMS: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. The applicant reviewed the two-story 3-unit structure that he has proposed. This structure uses less land area, is less massive on the site, and it protects some of the existing trees which would have been removed with the previous approved building. This project has underground parking. The applicant also reviewed the parking and landscaping with the Commissioners. The Design Review Board was impressed with the new building design and its placement on the site. The building’s architectural character and quality is consistent with the other structures on the site. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL to approve the building and site plan for Lake Pointe Condominiums as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

CONDITIONAL USE GRANT TO ALLOW OUTDOOR ROOFTOP DINING AT WINDROSE LOCATED AT 312 NORTH FRANKLIN STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that the applicant is proposing an outdoor dining area on the roof of their one-story building, the part that houses the bar and kitchen. The outdoor dining requires a conditional use grant. The idea of outdoor rooftop dining has been discussed before and most options are positive. It would be a great new venue for the downtown. To date Windrose has operated as first class operation receiving excellent reviews from the Journal-Sentinel food critic. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA to recommend to the Common Council to approve the conditional use grant as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

MINOR BUILDING FAÇADE IMPROVEMENTS TO ACCOMMODATE OUTDOOR ROOFTOP DINING A WINDROSE LOCATED AT 312 NORTH FRANKLIN STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed the minor building façade improvements with the Commissioners. The applicant reviewed the 2 options for the brackets proposed to secure the railing along the parapet wall. It was suggested that the brackets be more similar to those on the adjacent two-story building. The applicant also discussed the number of people allowed on the rooftop, the type of railing to be used and the types of materials. The Design Review Board recommended approval. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA to approve the façade improvements with option #2 as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

BUILDING AND SITE PLAN IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY LOCATED AT 117 VAN BUREN STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that there appears to be a great community need for this type of facility. The architect is proposing changes that will enable the facility to reopen under new management. To keep renovation costs low, now exterior building modifications are proposed except for adding stairways on the east and west elevations. No changes to the site are proposed. Under the approved conditional use grant, the Plan Commission may make modifications to either the façade or the site. Parking is provided in front in the area that was once a driveway and is so identified in the CUG. There are several existing planted areas for landscaping on the site. There is a concern regarding the location of the east stairs. The stairs encroach 4 feet into the required 6 foot side yard offset. St. Mary’s owns both this property and the adjacent church and the lot line is drawn because the assisting living facility is not tax exempt. The church was agreed to move the lot line. The applicant reviewed the materials and colors for the stairs. He also explained that the entire building will have sprinklers. The applicant would like to place a patio in the front of the building. The building would house only 18 residents. The Design Review Board recommended approval of the building and site plan as submitted. The applicant plans to call the facility Anita’s Garden. Commissioners discussed the landscaping, gardens, and green space. The applicant agreed to more landscaping in the front of the building. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the building and site plan improvements as presented subject to the planting being completed by 18 months after occupancy. Motion carried unanimously.

REZONING OF LANDS SURROUNDED BY SOUTH MONTGOMERY STREET, SOUTH MILWAUKEE STREET, AND WEST CHESTNUT STREET FROM CCM, CENTRAL CITY MIXED TO I-1, GENERAL INDUSTRIAL: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. The applicant proposes to expand his business. To permit any expansion to this business, a rezoning will be required. This area has been used as industrial for the past 60 years. There are no recorded objections to it use. The owner in the future could sell the property to another party whose industrial use could negatively impact the neighborhood. As an alternative to I-1 zoning, the property may be rezoned B-3, General Business. Printing and publishing houses and related activities are a permitted use. The list of other permitted uses would be less intrusive than other permitted industrial uses. The owner was not aware of this alterative at the time of his application. MOTION BY ALDERMAN HAACKE AND SECONDED BY MAYOR HUEBNER to recommend to the Common Council to approve the rezoning from CCM, Central City Mixed to B-3, General Business. Motion carried unanimously.

ANNEXATION AND ZONING OF A 1 ACRE PARCEL OF LAND ALONG SOUTH SPRING STREET CURRENTLY IN THE TOWN OF PORT WASHINGTON: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. This is a 1 acre parcel located immediate south of EVS Automotive along South Spring Street. Sewer and water is available to this parcel. Our joint land use plan with the Town of Port Washington indicates that general commercial is the appropriate lands use. The party interested in acquiring this parcel falls within the category of general merchandising and who wholesale establishment, which is a permitted use in the B-3, General Business District. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to recommend to the Common Council to approve the annexation and zoning of B-3, General Business District of this property as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

MOTION BY ALDERMAN HAACKE AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL to approve the extra-territorial land division in the Town of Port Washington as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

ZONING TEXT REVISION FOR SIGNS PERTAINING TO MAXIMUM SIGNAGE PERMITTED ON A SITE OR PARCEL AND CLARIFICATION OF THE SIGN HEIGHT DEFINITION: City Planner Tetzlaff stated that the last month’s meeting the Commission discussed and approved the signs for EVS Automotive. We discussed the shortcomings of our new sign code. We discussed the impact of including monument signs in the total maximum coverage and the need to redefine how we determine the height of a sign. Issue #1: Total Square Footage Permitted: The total sign area permitted for each business or industrial building or site shall be determined by multiplying the length of lineal building front foot by a factor of 1.5 square feet, up to maximum of 200 square feet. This maximum excludes monument signs whose provisions are covered under C (4) under this Section. The provisions of Section 20.29.100 shall regular signs proposed for multi-tenant buildings or centers. Relationship Between Sign Number and Total Sign Area: The aggregate total sign area for all signs, excluding monument signs, permitted for a business or industrial building or site shall not exceed the square footage limitation under Subsection 20.29.090A. and, in addition, shall be subject to the following restrictions: Item #2: The height of a sign shall be the distance between the existing natural grade at the base of the sign or, in the case of a negative grade, a point one foot above the curb line and the highest point on the sign of supporting structure. No changes are recommended regarding the maximum total square footage permitted or in the height of a monument sign. Commissioners had concerns about changing the Sign Ordinance. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to recommend to the Common Council to approve the revised zoning text as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE UPDATE: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed the statements that were taken from the Open House held in December. These will be used to draft goals and objectives.

new subdivision monument sign for hidden hills, sweetwater boulevard: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that Bielinski is proposing to erect a monument entrance sign in Hidden Hills. The sign would be placed in the outlot within the Sweetwater Boulevard right-of-way. The sign will be located in an outlot owned and maintained by the Homeowner's Association. Previous plans indicated that the outlot will be attractively landscaped. It is an attractive sign constructed of fieldstone. The placement of the sign and its proximity to the curb line will be reviewed by the City Engineer. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLY to approve the monument sign as presented subject to it being no closer than 18 inches from the back of the curb line. Motion carried unanimously.

revised parking area for 16-unit condominium located at 1401 garay lane: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioner that the previous owner of 1401 Garay Lane submitted and received site plan approval to construct additional off-street parking in front of the new condo building. There is an existing off-street parking next to this site that is used by the adjacent 24-unit apartment complex. Ken Miller sold the project to the applicant, Pebblebrook Homes. Upon acquisition and a new survey of the property, Pebblebrook Homes learned that they had acquired a large portion of the existing parking lot. Pebblebrook now has 3 off-street parking options. (1) Construct the new lot as previously approved; (2) Use a portion of the existing lot, reconfigure it, and physically divide the lots with new landscaping; or (3) Work with the adjacent owner and keep the parking area as is. Pebblebrook really does not need the additional parking. There is enough underground parking available. The apartment owner needs some additional parking and currently has no access to it since Pebblebrook owns the driveway apron. One option available to the apartment building owner is to create a new driveway access to his portion of the parking area as well as physically divide the lot from the other (each need to be 3 feet from the lot line). MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to approve the revised site plan as presented with two curb cuts access to the parking lot and a 3 foot landscape buffer from the lot line and to be in compliance with the Parking Ordinance. Motion carried unanimously.

building AND site plan for knight barry title company office at 117 west grand avenue: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that this item is back before the commission with a new building and site plan. The new plan was submitted and reviewed by the Design Review Board. The plan has brick veneer half-way up the façade capped with a stone sill; horizontal hardiplank siding above the sill; raised panels under the windows and small transom above the windows; and finally a wide hardiplank fascia that replaces the mansard-look (Option 1). The Design Review Board recommended that the brick be raised on the corners of the building and lowered near the windows to a height of the raised panels (Option 2). The architect has since come back with a third design, which changes all of the front windows to a 3-pane design. There are now three design options. The Design Review Board discussed at length the rear of the building. It was stated that the existing stone would be patched and painted along with the exiting panels. There was concern expressed that too many materials are conflicting with one another as well as the cost to make the rear look like the other facades. It was agreed that the existing stone and siding be removed to appoint approximately mid-way and be replaced with hardiplank. The site would be landscaped; a monument sign constructed near the parking entrance; the west driveway apron would be removed; and some additional planting would be added to screen the adjacent building. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to approve the revised building and site plan with the 3rd Option and subject to the removal of the west driveway apron and replacement of the sidewalk and curb; partial removal and replacement of rear façade materials with hardiplank siding; and repainting of the remaining rear and west facades. Motion carried unanimously.

BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR NEW CONDOMINIUM PROJECT LOCATED IN MISTY RIDGE SUBDIVISION ON STH 32: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that Plan Commission gave concept approval to General Capital Group's plan to construct upscale condominiums in Misty Ridge. After incorporating suggestions and input from both the Design Review Board and Plan Commission, General Capital is now seeking final building and site plan approval. General Capital has incorporated moving the units west to accommodate the require 50 foot setback; reallocating some of the units between the 3 outlots yet keeping the same total density; modifying some of the turning radii and driveway locations; realigning some of the private streets to allow for more buffering and landscaping; and altering the units and building styles to provide more diversity. If approved the engineering plans will be finalized and approved by the City Engineer; and later, a condominium plat will be prepared and will need approval from both the Plan Commission and Common Council. Also the Hickory Court name will be changed, as there already is a Hickory Court in Port Washington. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the building and site plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

BUILDING AND SITE PLAN FOR NEW CONVENIENCE CENTER AND CAR WASH AT 1800 NORTH WISCONSIN STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that the former Burger King property has a contingent offer to purchase the property subject to required City approvals. The prospective new owner, Zabest Commercial Group is proposing to construct a new convenience/gas store and care wash on the site. The property is zoned B-2 with a Highway Service District Overlay. This overlay permits by right, "gasoline service and convenience retail stations." The plan as submitted is a high-end looking facility that compliments the entry into the City. The 3,800 sq. ft. building has a maritime theme that includes a lighthouse-like tower. The building will be clad in higher end materials and the site is extensively landscaped. The existing driveways will be used land with adding a northbound right in only lane approved by the City Engineer and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. The Design Review Board made minor suggestions to the plan including the removal of two parking stalls near Wisconsin Street, making a provision for a future Wisconsin Street sidewalk and changing the radius of the new driveway entrance. Commissioners suggested that fake windows with shutters should be placed on the car wash area of the building. MOTION BY ALDERMAN HAACKE AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA GINEER VANDEN NOVEN to approve the building and site plan as presented and to include the fake windows with shutters on the car wash area. Motion carried unanimously.

RETAIL BUILDING ADDITION FOR EWIG BROTHERS FISH LOCATED AT 121 SOUTH WISCONSIN STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that Ewig Brothers are proposing to move the retail operation from their existing building to a new 2,500 sq. ft. building addition. The new addition will have a nautical look and the site will include some future outdoor seating area and additional landscaping. The existing building will be repainted and the retaining wall along Sauk Creek will be repaired. The new addition will replace existing on-site parking, however, because the property is zoned B-4, Central Business District, parking is not required. The new plan does accommodate for an on-site handicapped-parking stall. The dumpsters will be relocated out-of-view to the west side of the existing building and be hidden by screening or landscaping. MOTION CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to tentatively approve the proposed land use plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

CONCEPT PLAN APPROVED FOR THE SMITH BROTHERS MARKETPLACE LOCATED AT 100 NORTH FRANKLIN STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that Lighthouse Development Company, the new owner of Smith Brothers, is submitting a concept plan for the renovation of the building and conversion to a multi-use project to be called the Smith Brothers Marketplace. Their plan shows a raised boardwalk beginning on the corner of North Franklin and East Grand Avenue and extending around the building affording increased access to future tenants. A new sidewalk, grass parkway, and landscaping planters are also shown in their drawings. Parking would be relocated the south side of East Grand Avenue. A new dumpster location is also proposed on City property behind Schooners. This joint dumpster area would service the Smith Brothers project and Schooners. At this time, only the concept plan approval is being requested. If approved, the new owners will then request Common Council approval of a licensing agreement to occupy City right-of-way or property for the new boardwalk, sidewalk, and landscaping planters. If the Common Council approves this, they would then proceed with more definitive building and site plans for their project. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the concept plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

FAÇADE REMODELING, NEW BUILDING ADDITION, AND SIGNAGE FOR EVS AUTOMATIVE DEALERSHIP LOCATED AT 1180 SOUTH SPRING STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that EVS recently acquired the Chevrolet automotive dealership from the Boucher family and relocated their Jeep Chrysler dealership to the South Spring Street location. They are now submitting plans to add the "Jeep Chrysler" corporate look to the facility. Plans submitted include new façade enhancements, new building signage, new entrance and a new monument sign. Commissioners discussed the materials used to improve the façade. The new signage added to the front elevation looks appropriate and is not extraordinary in size. However, due to the changes in our sign code, the total on the buildings exceeds 200 sq. ft. which is the maximum allowed for the entire site. No allowance is made for a monument sign. EVS originally submitted plans for a 35-foot pylon sign. Those signs are no longer permitted in our sign code. Staff has worked with the design/contractor on possible alternates. Commissioners discussed the sign issue at great length. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOVA to approve the proposed building and site improvements subject to the applicant re-certifying that the landscaping meets our point requirements and recommend that the Zoning Board of Appeals grant a special exception to allow EVS to exceed the 200 sq. ft. maximum and to allow a monument sign higher than 12 feet and in excess of 125 sq. ft. in size. Motion carried unanimously.

NEW PUBLIC RESTROOMS FOR ROTARY PARK AND THE MARINA LOCATED AT THE END OF SOUTH GRAND AVENUE: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that the Common Council has agreed that new restrooms need to be constructed along the lakefront. The City's architect, Haag Muller has evaluated different locations and has proposed two alternatives. The Common Council has decided to place the restrooms next to the Lift Station at the end of East Grand Avenue. Mike Muller reviewed the site plan with the Commissioners. He also reviewed the building materials. Commissioners suggested that ironwork be placed between the two buildings. City Staff will construct this building. MOTION BY ALDERMAN HAACKE AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to approve the proposed site plan for the new public restrooms as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY FOR PORTION OF GREYSTONE TO PERMIT SETBACK REDUCTIONS: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that when Greystone was approved, it contained 22 lots that could be developed either for side-by-side units or for single-family homes. All but three of those lots are corner lots. The Plan Commission strongly encouraged that all side-by-side units have one front-loaded garage and one side-loaded garage. At this point in time, twelve homes are either under construction or permits have been applied for and four are adjacent to lots that could accommodate a side-by side structure. All are or will be built with a 25-foot setback. The applicant is requesting a planned development overlay be placed over the area zoned RS-5 and that only those lots that are developed with a side-by-side be allowed at 20 foot setback. The plans reviewed indicated for the most part, that only the garages would protrude into the additional setback area. The applicant is also suggesting that a deed restriction be placed on the side-by-sides requiring that they be condominiums however we received a legal opinion that the City cannot make such requirements, but the developer does have that option. The Design Review Board recommended that a planned development overly be approved for the area zoned RS-5 and be applied to only those lots developed for side-by-side units. The overlay would permit 20-foot setbacks. The Commissioners discussed this item and did not seem to be in favor of it. NO ACTION WAS TAKEN.

ZONING TEXT REVISION FOR PARKING AND LOADING REQUIREMENTS (REFERRED BACK BY COMMON COUNCIL): City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commission. He stated that after the first reading of the new parking and loading ordinance, the Common Council referred it back to the Plan Commission. The reason is that as written with a 10,000-pound maximum, it would not permit commercial vehicles such as a semi-truck driver to bring home his tractor or would not permit a driver to bring home a school bus. Some Council members felt that this was too restrictive and the City should allow this. The Council is asking that the Plan Commission reconsider. The Commissioners reviewed this item and added and deleted several changes to the ordinance. The Commissioners suggested prohibiting vehicles that have a gross weight of 15,000 pounds or more. Any vehicle in Class I, II, and III or up to 14,999 pounds would be acceptable. MOTION BY MAYOR HUBNER AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to approve the new changes to the parking and loading ordinance and approved prohibiting any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 15,000 pounds or more or a Class III vehicle. Staff will work with the City Attorney on the wording. Motion carried unanimously.

ZONING TEXT REVISION FOR SIGN REQUIREMENTS PERTAINING TO MAXIMUM SIGNAGE PERMITTED ON SITE AND CLARIFICATION IN THE DEFINITION OF SIGN HEIGHT: City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that due to the circumstances surrounding the proposed signs at the EVS dealership, staff strongly believes that we need to tweak our sign provisions as they apply to the maximum square footage allowed per property or site; and we need to re-interpret or redefine sign height. Staff does not have a specific number in mind regarding the maximum allowance. It appears calculating the amount of sign allowed should pertain only to wall, projecting or window signs. The monument sign should have its own separate provisions. The sign height of a 12-foot limit should be tied to street grade. It should not matter whether the sign sits in a hole below street grade or on a hill above the street. What is important is that the sign height should be consistent with what is seen by the human eye. Staff is asking the Commissioners to think about this issue and come back to the next meeting with more ideas. NO ACTION TAKEN

SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO ALLOW A DETACHED GARAGE TO BE BUILT CLOSER TO THE LOT LINE AT 426 HILLCREST COURT: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that the applicant desires to replace their existing non-conforming garage with a new structure. The detached garage is non-conforming because it is closer than 6 feet to both the side and rear lot lines. The new garage would be constructed in the same location, but would be slightly larger. The lots in this neighborhood are narrow. None of the garages are attached and all are non-conforming for the same reasons. Many have been replaced in recent years without Plan Commission review and approval. To require the 6-foot offsets would make it impossible to access the garage. The Design Review Board agreed that replacing the garage would not negatively impact the adjoining neighbors. Improving the garage would enhance the property. Mr. and Mrs. Travis were present to answer any questions. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEERING VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the special exception to allow a detached garage to be built closer to the lot line at 426 Hillcrest Court. Motion carried unanimously.

REPLACEMENT OF AN EXISTING RADIO COMMUNICATION SHED WITH A NEW PRE-ENGINEERED STRUCTURE AT THE OZAUKEE COUNTY JUSTICE CENTER LOCATED AT 1202 SOUTH SPRING STREET: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed the site plan with the Commissioners. He stated that Ozaukee County is requesting approval to replace their existing radio communication shed with a new larger pre-engineered structure. This location of the communication tower is on the northwest corner of the jail facility and the new shed structure will be less visible than the existing shed. It will be a pre-engineered unit that may be clad in a masonry-like material. The Design Review Board preferred the aggregate exterior because the members felt that brick materials may clash with the Justice Center brick. Because of the remote location near the loading docks, no landscaping is warranted. County Highway Commission Robert Dreblow reviewed his site plan with the Commissioners. MOTION BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY to approve the site plan to replace the existing radio communication shed with a new pre-engineered structure. Motion carried unanimously.

BUSINESS, SITE AND BUSINESS, SITE, AND OPERATIONAL PLAN FOR KNIGHT BARRY TITLE COMPANY LOCATED AT 117 WEST GRAND AVENUE: City Planner Tetzlaff stated the Knight Barry Title (Port Abstract) Company has acquired the adjacent Tri-Par property and is proposing to relocate their offices there. The current building is for sale. The plan is to add a small addition to the front, remove the mansard from the front and side elevations, and reface the building with hardiplank and cedar siding. The east side of the site will have parking and the west side will be grass. Some additional landscaping is proposed along the parking entrance. A future building addition may occur where the grassy area is proposed. The Design Review Board discussed the placement of a monument sign. Representatives from United Construction reviewed their site plan with the Commissioners. The applicant prefers a location on the east side; a better location may be in the middle of the site. The east location may be blocked from view in the future if the adjacent building is removed and a new structure is built. In addition, that location requires some modification of the parking area. The plan would close the west driveway. The applicant agreed to remove the apron and replace the curb and sidewalk; doing so will allow for an additional 3 on-street parking stalls to be added. A concern was expressed regarding the appearance of the east wall of the adjacent building (Port Abstract). It is painted concrete block with random colored block jutting from the surface. Landscape screening was suggested. The Plan Commissioners had concerns with the building materials. They would like to see other materials and different colors. Members discussed various options. This item was tabled until next month.

CONCEPT PLAN FOR NEW CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT IN THE MISTY RIDGE SUBDIVISION: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Plan Commissioners. He stated that the approval of the Misty Ridge development contained 68 condominium units placed in 3 outlots along the north side of the subdivision. It was agreed upon that the outlots would be sold by Harmony Homes to another developer, who would be responsible for obtaining building and site plan approval from the Plan Commission. A prospective buyer by the name of General Capital Group has come forward with plans to build upscale one and two-family condos. If the concept plan were approved, General Capital would then proceed with final plans. Prior to the sale of any units, a condominium plat will be required. The Design Review Board members were impressed with the use of the 3 outlots including the grading and landscaping, and the proposed building elevations. Mr. Sigurd Strautmanis of General Capital reviewed his concept plan with the Commissioners. He informed the Commissioners that Outlot 1 would be Spruce Court, Outlot 2 would be Birch Grove and Outlot 3 would be Hickory Place. Mr. Strautmanis explained the floor plans of each condominium unit and the building materials. He also discussed the street widths and landscaping. There were concerns regarding the 50-ft setback on STH 32. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to approve the concept plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

REZONE LAND ALONG EAST SEVEN HILLS ROAD (CTH LL) FROM BP (BUSINESS PARK) TO B-2 (LOCAL SERVICE CENTER DISTRICT) TO ACCOMMODATE NEW OFFICE DEVELOPMENT: City Planner Tetzlaff stated that the applicants have submitted a concept plan for this land that included 3 office buildings. The Plan Commission last month agreed that rezoning the parcel to B-2 would allow for the buildings to be moved closer to the street and allow for side or rear parking. In addition to allowing shallower setbacks and offsets, changing the zoning to B-2, Local Service Center Business from BP, Business Park also allows for the potential of more retail uses. The BP district would not allow a freestanding building to be just a retail use, other than a restaurant. Office uses would be the same under either. Roger Strohm and Peter Didier were present to answer any question that the Commissioners might have. Some Commissioners had concern regarding parking. Mr. Didier stated that they have an agreement with the Hotel for additional parking. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to recommend approval to the Common Council to approve the rezoning of land along East Seven Hills Road from BP, Business Park to B-2, Local Service Center District as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

PROPOSED LAND USE PLAN FOR THE KNELLSVILLE AREA: City Planner Tetzlaff stated that last month the Commissioners discussed the possible land uses for the City's portion of Knellsville. We also discussed the Town's proposed plans for their respective area. In addition, our office sent out copies of the draft Knellsville Plan, which includes land, uses and development standards. We received several good suggestions and comments. The attached land use map incorporates the suggestions made by the Commissioners last month. The land use boundaries coincide well with the Town's proposed plan. On the north side, it has approximately 133 acres for Business Park and Light Industrial; 78 acres for Office and Business Park; and 30 acres of Commercial. On the south side, it has approximately 38 acres of Office and Business Park. Road and street locations were also discussed. It was also suggested that a committee be established that would include Town and City officials to future discuss this plan. Mayor Huebner and City Engineer Vanden Noven stated that this was a good start. MOTION ALDERMAN HAACKE AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to tentatively approve the proposed land use plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

ZONING TEXT REVISION (PARKING AND LOADING REQUIREMENTS): City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed the final revision of the Parking and Loading Requirements. The Commissioners reviewed this zoning text and made a few final changes. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to recommend approval to the Common Council to approve the zoning text revision for the Parking and Loading Requirements with the proposed changes. MOTION BY COMMISSION KELLEY AND SECONDED BY CITY ENGINEER VANDEN NOVEN to amend the motion to include 20 ft. street driveway approaches. Motion carried unanimously for the amended Motion. Motion carried unanimously for the original Motion.

revised conceptual site plan for new office development along east seven hills road: City Planner Randy Tetzlaff reviewed this item with the Commissioners. He stated that the Plan Commission recently gave concept approval for an office development project for the site just west of the County Inn and Suites. Two issues have developed during the planning process: 1) there is a shared drive way/access easement between this lot and the hotel; and 2) the owner's consultants strongly believe that BP, Business Park zoning is not the most appropriate zoning for this property in light of the Plan Commission's desire to locate structures closer to the street, be more pedestrian accessible, and to locate parking either behind or on the side of the buildings. Roger Strohm from Miller Engineering was present to discuss the zoning, driveway access, parking and parking area. Commissioners had concerns regarding the shared driveway access, landscaping and zoning setbacks. Peter Didier stated that the owner of the neighboring property had agreed to the shared driveway access. Commissioners liked the development of the site but again had concerns with parking on East Seven Hills Road and wanted to see more green space. MOTION BY MAYOR HUEBNER AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DAVEL to approve the revised concept plan and recommended B-2 zoning for this development. Motion carried unanimously.

DISCONTINUANCE OF A PORTION OF THE 300 BLOCK OF JOHNSON STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed the site plan with the Commissioners. He stated that a certified survey map was approved for 314 Johnson Street and that during discussions with a prospective buyer, it was suggested by staff that in order to access the lot from Johnson Street, a small portion of Johnson Street must be vacated or discontinue. The City Administrator has already had the City Attorney initiate this process by introducing a resolution at the January 3^, 2006 Common Council meeting. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOVA AND SECONDED BY ALDERMAN HAACKE to recommend approval to the Common Council that a portion of the 300 block of Johnson Street right-of-way be discontinued. Motion carried unanimously.

FUTURE LAND USE PLANNING FOR THE KNELLSVILLE AREA: City Planner Tetzlaff reviewed the future land use plan with the Commissioners. He stated that at last month’s Plan Commission meeting, he asked the Commissioners to start thinking of the future development of the Knellsville area. Commissioners discussed the various areas with the City Planner. They would like to see retail next to the freeway, possibly a mixed limited retail. On the west side of the freeway, they would like to see business and commercial and on the east side of the freeway, an upscale business park. Commissioners discussed whether or not a TIF District would be needed. Commissioners would not like to see big box retail businesses. City Planner Tetzlaff stated that the City would need to get together with the Town to sit down and have a joint planning session.

ZONING TEXT REVISION (PARKING AND LOADING REQUIREMENTS): City Planner Tetzlaff informed the Commissioners that the City Building Inspector had been working on this section of the zoning code. However, he was frustrated with some of the comments made at the October meeting, some, which he felt contradicted previous comments and requests made. At the direction of the City Administrator, he eliminated some of the language regarding driveways, recreational vehicles, and simplified others. In our collective opinion, the text language, except for some minor tweaking, is now ready to be forwarded to the Common Council. The Commissioners reviewed this new language. Staff would like to thank Commissioner Kelly for all his help. A clean copy will be made available for review and action next month.

PUBLIC COMMENT/APPEARANCES: John Sigwart of Theis Street questioned the Hidden Hills Subdivision extension into Woods at White Pine Subdivision.
