VI. NEW BUSINESS
A)
Recommend Approval of a proposed development plan for
a Lawn Maintenance/Landscaping Business within the Original Village Planned
Development zoning district at 8520 N. 43rd Street, requested by Dale
Galloway.
Mr. Thyes summarized the proposal for the
Commission. Commissioner Raffensperger
inquired about the interior remodeling. The
applicant, Dale Galloway, addressed the Planning Commission to explain the separation
of the two office spaces with two new doorways.
Trustee Schilz questioned the safety of the location of the children’s
play equipment on the property and asked that the Brown Deer Police Department
review the site. Mr. Galloway stated
that the current owner setup the play equipment for when she watches her
grandchildren, and that there would only be minimal traffic to and from the
site on a daily basis. President Jaberg
inquired about the amount of landscaping that would be done on site and whether
or not it should be subject to review by the Beautification Committee. Mr. Galloway stated that he would only be
planting some perennial flowers, and that it would not become a major
landscaping project.
It was moved
by Commissioner McGuigan and seconded by Commissioner Ashley-Jordan to recommend
approval of the development plan for a Lawn Maintenance/Landscaping Business
within the Original Village Planned Development zoning district at 8520 N. 43rd
Street to the Village Board, as amended.
The motion carried unanimously.
B) Review and recommend an amendment to
Section 4-4.03 (C), of the Village Code, to include “Drive –up facilities when
accessory to a permitted use” as a Conditionally Permitted Use within the B1
Planned Local Shopping Center District, requested by Gary Kaufman, for Tri City
National Bank.
Mr. Thyes reviewed the proposal and stated that it
would be consistent with other permitted uses within the B1 zoning
district. Mr. Van Gompel pointed out
that the text amendment is a separate issue from the proposed construction of
an ATM machine in the parking lot of the bank. Commissioner Raffensperger
stated that the text amendment should be handled through the Village’s overall recodification
efforts. Trustee Schilz asked if Tri-City National Bank had started any
construction. Mr. Pederson stated that the bank has already installed the concrete
base and the wiring for the proposed ATM machine. Trustee Schilz then inquired about having the
Bank restore the parking lot since Village TIF funds were used to construct the
parking area and directed Staff to review the remediation process.
It was moved
by Commissioner McGuigan and seconded by Commissioner Raffensperger to
recommend denial of the proposed amendment to Section 4-4.03 (C), of the
Village Code, to include “Drive –up facilities when accessory to a permitted
use” as a Conditionally Permitted Use within the B1 Planned Local Shopping
Center District. The motion carried unanimously.
C) Review and recommend the Conditional Use Permit issued to Jerome
Gottfried and Joseph Tajani, to allow establishment of a Children’s Day Care
Center and Child Care Training Facility at 4815 W. Bradley Road.
Mr. Thyes stated that the day care center is in compliance with the
conditions of the existing Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission expressed concerns
about the lighting in the parking lot and asked that a letter be sent to the
property owner.
It was moved
by Commissioner Raffensperger and seconded by Commissioner Bellehumeur
to recommend the Conditional Use Permit issued
to Jerome Gottfried and Joseph Tajani, to allow establishment of a Children’s
Day Care Center and Child Care Training Facility at 4815 West Bradley Road to
the Village Board for final review and approval. The motion carried unanimously.
