Commissioner Beitz made a motion to have the Plan Commission take no action on the Dehling-Voight Plan Commission Application because of its deficiencies. No second was made, motion died.

The Plan Commission discussed the proposed Dehling-Voight parking lot project at the southeast corner of CTH Y and STH 33. The Plan Commission members discussed the visual merits of the project at one of the entryways to the Village and what could be done to make the project more visually attractive. The Commissioners discussed different types of chain link fencing, whether or not the site would be lighted and if the parking area would be paved with asphalt as well as landscaping.

Jim Dehling, representing Dehling-Voight, took part in the open discussion and stated that they would plant trees per an earlier discussion with the Village Board, agreed that the parking lot would be asphalt paved, would not be lighted, have a secured entry point along CTH Y and the fence would be 6 feet high.

Dehling also stated that the parking lot would be used to park the Dehling-Voight trucks as well as being used as a Dehling-Voight employee parking area and that no additional materials would be stored in the facility.

The Village Engineer indicated that a note on the plan stating that the parking lot would be constructed in such a way to pitch the drainage towards STH 33 along with a few general drainage flow arrows would be sufficient for this project instead of a grading plan. Also, for construction, the property corners should be staked by registered land surveyor.

Planner Johnson also stated that the Newburg Sportsman Club had reviewed the work and were ok with it.

Planner Johnson explained that a few months ago, the Newburg Sportsman Club sent a letter to the Village outlining their activities and these activities were incorporated in a new zoning district called C-2, Conservation Outdoor Recreation District. Once the activities from the Newburg Sportsman Club letter were incorporated into zoning ordinance form, representatives from the Newburg Sportsman Club, Joe Fuehrer and Mike Wilkens, were invited to meet with Attorney Kiefer, Zoning Administrator/Building Inspector Grotelueschen and Planner Johnson to review the work.

The Plan Commission discussed the new zoning district and asked a few questions for clarification.

Planner Johnson further explained that since C-2, Conservation Outdoor Recreation District was added to the draft Chapter 17, a number of other changes could be made. These changes included removing sportsman club activities including trap shooting from the C-1 district, now covered in the C-2 district as well as adding Conservation Outdoor Recreation District buildings to those building reviewed by the Plan Commission as part of section 17.26, Architectural Controls.

Present were Trustee Heili, Trustee Beitz, Commissioner Miller, Commissioner Delcore, Commissioner Williamson, Commissioner Cording, Commissioner Probelski, Engineer Johnson, Attorney Kiefer, Building Inspector Grotelueschen, Deputy Clerk Chesak.

Meeting Called to order by Chairman Heili at 7:00 PM

Commissioner Beitz made a motion to approve the minutes of the May 3, 2007 Plan Commission meeting with any corrections or deletions, Commissioner Delcore seconded. Motion passed unanimously.

Public Hearing

The Purpose of the public hearing is to amend the B-2 zoning district to allow Mini- Storage, Self-Service Storage, Mini-Warehouses as either a Permitted Use or as a Conditional Use.

Planner Johnson introduced the Village of Newburg Zoning Map, a map showing only the B-2 zoned properties in the Village as well as maps that showed the zoning and 1992 Master Plan Future land Uses within 200 feet of the properties zoned B-2.

Attorney Michael Herbrand, from the Law Offices of Houseman and Feind and speaking for the petitioner Mark Falkner, related that the petitioner would like to amend the Village’s Zoning Code to allow mini warehousing as either a permitted or conditional use in the B-2 Zoning District. Attorney Herbrand stated that mini warehousing is similar to some of the current uses as well as being a less of an intensive use than what is currently allowed in the B-2 Zoning District.

Attorney Herbrand suggested that possibly the Village could narrowly tailor the text change to allow mini warehousing on B-2 zoned parcels that were greater than 1½ acres and had the owner of the facility living on the property. Attorney Herbrand further stated that the Falkner’s current storage business had had no theft or vandalism and had a good history with the Village and that the Falkner’s would construct a good facility and run a good business.

Chairman Heili asked if anyone would like to give testimony.

Jason Weis of 523 Main Street spoke and told the Plan Commission that he is a renter in the Village and supports a storage facility in the Village so that he can store and work on his snowmobile.

The Plan Commission members asked a few questions regarding the property owned by the Falkners which were answered by Mark Falkner.

Mike Larson of 6729 Hickory spoke in favor of the potential storage business.

Chairman Heili asked if anyone would like to give additional testimony.

Commissioner Beitz made a motion to close the Public Hearing, Commissioner Delcore seconded, motion passed.

The Public Hearing was concluded at 7:15 PM

Unfinished Business

Discussion and possible recommendation on Mark Falkner's request for zoning text amendment to zoning code 17.16 to allow mini storage in B-2 zoning district as a permitted use or as a conditional use.

The Plan Commission discussed the request and information collected from the Public Hearing regarding the possible amendment allowing mini-storage as either a permitted or conditional use in the B-2 Zoning District.

The Plan Commission discussed and confirmed that mini warehousing is a currently a conditional use in the Village’s M-2 Manufacturing Zoning District, questioned if mini warehousing was a fit for the B-2 Zoning District and recalled that any change to the B-2 Zoning District would affect all B-2 zoned properties in the Village. The Plan Commissioners also discussed that the Village’s B-2 Zoning District was for retail businesses and that storage businesses seemed to be a better fit in the manufacturing zoning districts of the Village.

Attorney Herbrand stated that the Falker’s property has a residential flavor and that possibly the Village could allow mini warehousing if the property included the mini warehousing business residential home and is greater than 1½ acres. The Plan Commission concurred that along CTH MY there is a residential flavor and that the Falkner’s meticulously maintains his property. However, the Plan Commission expressed that not all other property owners may be a diligent as the Falkner’s have been.

The Plan Commission concurred that that the lands currently zoned B-2 are at the front door of the Village and does the Village want to have mini warehousing as soon as someone comes into the Village.

The Plan Commission solicited comments by Planner Johnson. Planner Johnson stated that a text amendment, as outlined in the Zoning Code, in the Village has four criteria. The Zoning Code states that changes and amendment to the Zoning Code can occur whenever public necessity, convenience, general welfare or good zoning practices are required.

Planner Johnson stated that since mini warehousing is allowed in the M-2 Zoning District, allowing mini warehousing in the B-2 Zoning District was not in the public necessity. The M-2 Zoning District allows mini warehousing as a conditional use. In the Village, the M-2 Zoning District is the most intensive zoning district in the Village. Allowing mini warehousing in the B-2 Zoning district that acts as a buffer between the intensive manufacturing district and the residential districts lacks appropriateness, or convenience. There are over 30 properties zoned B-2 in the Village, allowing mini warehousing as a permitted or conditional use could possibly negatively impact the general welfare of the Village’s residents since there would be no buffer between the warehouses and their homes.

As for good zoning practices, Planner Johnson related and compared the uses allowed in the B-2 and M-2 Zoning Districts. The B-2 Zoning District’s uses are retail and service businesses while the M-2 Zoning District uses are related to the manufacturing, fabrication or storage of goods and materials.

Planner Johnson also stated that the Plan Commission in their review of Chapter 17 – Zoning Code, has added a definition for mini warehousing which is, a controlled-access and fenced compound containing a building or group of buildings divided into separate compartments, which may be of various sizes, that are used to meet the temporary storage needs of residential and small businesses uses.

The Plan Commission discussed how to handle the two parts of the request and decided to handle each separately.

Commissioner Beitz made a motion to not allow mini warehousing as a permitted use in the B-2 Zoning District, Commissioner Miller seconded.

The Plan Commission discussed the affect of allowing mini warehousing as a permitted use in the B-2 Zoning District. The members agreed that CTH 33 and CTH MY are the entryways into the Village and that mini warehousing as a permitted use would not add to the ambiance of the Village.

Motion passed.

The Plan Commission discussed conditional uses in general terms.

Commissioner Delcore made a motion to approve the application to allow mini warehousing as a conditional use. No discussion. Motion died for a lack of second.

Chairman Heili made a motion to not allow mini warehousing as a conditional use in the B-2 Zoning District, Commissioner Williamson seconded and a roll call vote was taken. Mike Heili, aye; Phil Beitz, nay; Ann Cording, aye; Lee Delcore, nay; Diane Miller, aye and Jeff Williamson, aye. Four ayes, two nay, motion passed.

The Plan Commission instructed Deputy Clerk Chesak to prepare the following written recommendation so that it may be submitted to the Village Board in writing.

"On June 7, 2007 the Planning Commission of the Village of Newburg held a public hearing and at is meeting the following action was taken on the application of Mark Falkner for a revision to Chapter 17 of the Municipal Code – Zoning:

Motion was made and passed to deny the application, to amend B-2 zoning district to allow Mini-Storage, Self-Service Storage, Mini-Warehouses as either a Permitted Use or as a Conditional Use. Motion passed to deny application."

Discussion and possible action on changes to Chapter 17 of the Municipal Code.

Attorney Kiefer stated that Village Zoning Administrator/Building Inspector Grotelueschen, Village Planner Johnson as well as himself met with Joe Fuehrer and Mike Wilkens from the Newburg Sportsman Club regarding a possible zoning district that includes the different activities of the club. These discussions will continue over the next month. Attorney Kiefer stated that this was the last part of Chapter 17 that needed to be completed.

Commissioner Williamson made a motion to table the discussion and possible action on changes to Chapter 17 of the Municipal Code Book until Chapter 17 is done, Commissioner Beitz seconded, motion passed.

Discussion and possible action on the re-zoning of the B-2 west of the Milwaukee River to R-1.

The Plan Commission discussed the possible rezoning of the properties west of the Milwaukee River.

Commissioner Delcore made a motion to move item 2 of New Business to discuss before taking action on the possible rezoning of the properties west of the Milwaukee River from B-2 to R-1.

The Plan Commission discussed Commissioner Delcore’s motion.

Commissioner Delcore rescinded the motion due to lack of a second.

Chairperson Heili asked if there was anyone present who lived at one of the addresses that was being considered for rezoning if they wanted to speak.

Mr. Sackett of 336 CTH MY acknowledged that he lived in the area that was proposed to be rezoned and stated that the majority of CTH MY is residential and that the current B-2 zoning does not fit the area any more. Sackett also stated that he felt that the people who live on CTH MY felt the same way.

The Plan Commission discussed Mr. Sackett’s statement. One of the Plan Commissioners stated that the future development of the area would be residential and that any future business would be of the service type business. The way CTH MY has developed has been a vote by the people and that the current zoning no longer fits.

New Business

Discussion and possible action on extra territorial land division located at Part of the W 1/2 of the NW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 12, and part of the NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 13, all in the Township 11 North, Range 20 East, Town of Trenton, Washington County, Wisconsin.

Planner Johnson stated that this land division represents one of the few remaining expansion areas for the Village. If the Village does not grow and expand, the current tax base will remain the same size while Village costs increase over time. In discussions with Engineer Bednarski and with Attorney Kiefer, we where wondering why the owner is subdividing the property in a couple of 35 acre parcels.

A representative for the petitioner responded that the Town of Trenton requires that a Certified Survey Map is prepared at the time when land is sold and that the Certified Survey Map needs to conform to the Town Code. Lot 1 which is north of CTH MY needs to be split from the southern portion of the property because of CTH MY. Lots 2, 3, and 4 are greater than 35 acres because 35 acres is the minimum parcel size that allows for farm animals such as chickens and pigs. Also, Lots 2 and 4 have existing homes on them and each home needs to be on their own parcel. In wrap-up, the representative for the petitioner stated that parcel lines have been shifted slightly to conform to the Town Code.

The Plan Commission discussed the information received from the petitioner.

Commissioner Miller made a motion approve the proposed land division. Commissioner Williamson seconded. Motion passed unanimously.

Commissioner Delcore requested that the Village start using the newly created form.

The Plan Commission discussed the new information and instructed Planner Johnson to email the following questions to Chairperson Heili so that Chairperson Heili can ask Attorney Kiefer.

a. Please help the Plan Commission understand the semi-colons in 17.08 (3)?

b. Can the Plan Commission set setbacks for a conditional use & building since the conditional use & building is not an accessory building?

c. Which way should the Falkner’s application be worded, should the present use and building be mentioned in the application or should it only include the requested new expanded storage use and accompanying building?

The meeting of the Village of Newburg Planning Commission was called to order. Present were Trustee Heili, Trustee Beitz, Commissioner Miller, Commissioner Delcore, Commissioner Williamson, Engineer Johnson, Attorney Kiefer and Building Inspector Grotelueschen.

Commissioner Beitz made a motion to approve the minutes with any corrections or deletions, Commissioner Miller seconded. Motion passed unanimously.

Unfinished Business

Discussion and review changes to Chapter 17 of the Municipal Code Book.

The Plan Commission discussed in length the conditional uses for the R-1, R-2, & R-3 zoning districts.

Chairperson Heili stated that the conditional uses for the R-1 and R-2 zoning districts could be home occupations, bed and breakfasts, and recreational areas. Chairperson Heili further explained that he thought that the R-3 zoning district conditional uses could include churches, utilities, and municipal buildings along with the home occupations, bed and breakfasts, and recreational areas. Finally, the R-4 zoning district conditional uses would be the same as the current conditional uses with the exception of removing boarding houses.

Commissioner Williamson stated that if the Plan Commission were to remove conditional uses from one zoning district, the Plan Commission should make sure to add the use to another and more appropriate zoning district.

The Plan Commission discussed as a group regarding the possibilities of allowing churches as a condition use in the R-1, R-2, & R-3 zoning districts. A number of straw polls were conducted followed by more Plan Commission discussion.

Building Inspector Grotelueschen pointed out that the Plan Commission has the ability to deny a conditional use request. Building Inspector Grotelueschen also suggested that the Plan Commission might want to keep some flexibility in the conditional uses listed in the R-1, R-2, & R-3 zoning districts.

The Plan Commission agreed that keeping some flexibility in the conditional uses listed in the R-1, R-2, & R-3 zoning districts may be beneficial in the future.

The Plan Commission realized that the way the conditional uses, item (b) are listed and punctuated differ from residential zoning district to zoning district. The R-1 and R-4 conditional uses, item (b) are punctuated the same while R-2 and R-3 conditional uses, item (b) are punctuated the same with R-1 & R-4 andR-2 & R-3 conditional uses, item (b) are punctuated differently. The Plan Commission agreed that because of the differing punctuation, the meaning of the meaning of conditional uses, items (b) are different. The Plan Commission also realized that some of the Plan Commission members had different version of Chapter 17, Zoning Code.

The Plan Commission agreed that they should all have the exact same version of the Village Code.

The Plan Commission discussed the confusion of having different Chapter 17, Zoning Codes if it was their responsibility to find all of the differences and adjust the Zoning Code. Commissioner Williamson recalled a statement made by Attorney Kiefer from last month’s second Plan Commission meeting. This statement being that Attorney Kiefer suggested that the Plan Commission not undertake re-codifying Chapter 17, Zoning Code because of the time involved and that there were firms that provided this service. To illustrate this point, Building Inspector Grotelueschen shared with the Plan Commission the type of re-codifying report that was prepared for the Town of Trenton.

In this re-codifying report when discrepancies were discovered, the re-codifying report asked the Town which way the code should read.

The Plan Commission discussed and agreed that the Village Board should consider budgeting for a re-codification of the Village Code.

In the interim the Plan Commission considered discussing the Historic District, which was decided that a district is district and not a collection of individual lots and that the Plan Commission should not discuss in detail, with respect to the review and discussion regarding Chapter 17, Zoning Code until the larger historic district issues was discussed. This larger historic district issue is whether or not the Village should continue with the concept of having a Historic District.

Commissioner Beitz suggested that the notice and process for a conditional use hearing should be similar to the notice and process for a rezoning. Commissioner Beitz pointed out that the conditional use permit required that all opposite and abutting property owners were required by the application but these individuals were not contacted.

The Plan Commission discussed and agreed that it was a lot to ask of Village residents to constantly check the Village bulletin board for conditional use applications.

Commissioner Beitz suggested that the notice and process for a conditional use should include assembling the owner’s names and addresses of all properties lying within 200 feet of the proposed conditional use.

Planner Johnson pointed out that while the Village requires this information, the Zoning Code does not state what the Village should do with it. Plan Commission discussion ensued regarding what actions the Village has taken historically.

The Plan Commission agreed that 17.24 Conditional Uses (3) notice, should be amended to include that all properties within 200’ of the conditional use application be notified by mail.

Commissioner Miller suggested that possibly some of the permitted uses listed in the Conservancy District may be inappropriate for the actual intent of the zoning district. The Plan Commission discussed and agreed that generally the permitted uses of public parks; management of forestry, wildlife, and fish; harvesting of wild crops; fishing and trapping; outdoor sportsman activities; and dams, power stations, and transmission lines seemed reasonable uses. However the permitted use that begins with "upon written permission from the Village Board" sounded and read like a conditional use.

The Plan Commission agreed that 17.21 Conservancy District (g) should be the Conservancy District’s conditional uses and that removing amusement parks and changing public camping grounds to primitive camping grounds would be appropriate.

Continued discussion on Smart Growth.

No action taken.

New Business

None.

Miscellaneous Business:

Commissioner Delcore made the suggestion that possibly future Plan Commission agendas could contain the phrase "any of the items are subject to discussion and action" so that the Plan Commission is free to take action on items as they see fit as compared to not being able to take action on items because of how the agenda item was prepared.

Day Care facilities located in the Village. Building Inspector Grotelueschen stated that he looked into the Day Care facilities located in the Village. Building Inspector Grotelueschen stated that one of the currently Day Care facilities was located in the B-2 district, and that the B-2 district did not allow of Day Care facilities.

The Plan Commission discussed what exactly Day Care facilities were and it was decided that Day Care faculties were in fact a business. Day Care faculties being a business the Plan Commission felt that it would be appropriate to add the Day Care use to the permitted used in the B-1 and B-2 zoning districts.

Planner Johnson asked the Plan Commission if they would like a list of permitted Business uses in other communities for their review at the second Plan Commission meeting in August. The Plan Commission agreed that this would be appropriate.

 

Motion by Commissioner Williamson to adjourn; seconded by Commissioner Delcore. Motion passed unanimously.

Planner Johnson distributed a planning report outlining what the 1992 Comprehensive Master Plan called for in this area of the Village’s planning jurisdiction. The 1992 Comprehensive Master Plan showed this area as Rural Development. Rural Development is described as predominately agricultural with scattered residential and commercial developments. The 1992 Comprehensive Master Plan also indicated that the premature division of these lands into smaller parcels, and their subsequent conversion to urban land uses, should be discouraged until they are ready to be annexed into the Village and provided the full range of urban services.

Planner Johnson continued by stating that the intervening lands making it impracticable for the Village to be in the position to annex and serve this particular property with the full range of municipal services. Therefore the planning recommendation for this particular land division is to approve.

Commissioners Heili, Beitz, Delcore and Miller discussed the extra territorial review process in general asking if the petitioner filled out the necessary application and how in the future, they would like to have a month to think about the ramification of the land division.

Commissioner Beitz made a motion to approve the extra territorial land division. Commissioner Delcore seconded, motion passed.

 

Application for storage shed at 6725 Hickory Road.

Planner Johnson introduced Mark Falkner and stated that a two or three months ago Planner Johnson and Mr. Falkner met and discussed the Falkner’s project and as summary Planner Johnson prepared and sent a letter to Mr. Falkner reiterating what was discussed. This letter was shared with the Plan Commission by Planner Johnson at a previous meeting.

Mr. Falkner outlined his plans to construct a second storage building to the north and west of the existing large shed. Mr. Falkner also shared the history of his parcel and how in 1982 he was granted M-1 zoning with the stipulation that he could build a house to R-1 standards on the property. In 1989, the Falkner’s purchased the property to the west and in 1992 finally constructing the home granted by the 1982 action.

Mr. Falkner shared a letter from Roger Zemlicka, Planning and Zoning Committee Secretary stating the 1982 request.

Mr. Falkner also shared with the Plan Commission a survey that located the existing shed and indicated where the proposed shed might be place. Mr. Falkner further explained that the proposed shed would be 30’ x 130’ and be accessed from the existing drive on the east side of the property.

Commissioners Heili, Beitz, Delcore and Miller along with Building Inspectors Mayer and Grotelueschen and Attorney Kiefer discussed the ramifications of the potential R-1 rezoning and the conditional use or the B-2 zoning and a conditional use.

Attorney Kiefer related that the Village could rezone and create nonconforming uses and structures however the Village could not grant a conditional use without the property owner applying for one.

Building Inspectors Mayer and Grotelueschen along with Attorney Kiefer discussed the possibility of having the Falkners submit a building permit application and then plans for State review; however the Village would still need to grant a conditional use permit.

Commissioners Delcore and Miller both asked what the next steps for the Falkners would be. Attorney Kiefer answered that the Falkners had a choice - they could either prepare a site plan and request a special use or they could apply for a building permit and submit plans to the State.

Commissioners Heili, Beitz, Delcore and Miller along with Building Inspectors Mayer and Grotelueschen and Attorney Kiefer discussed the individual permitted used and conditional uses of the B-1, B-2, and R-1 zoning districts. And, they also discussed to possibility of the Falkners requesting a conditional use for the existing shed and the proposed shed if the property was rezoned to R-1.

The Plan Commission also felt it appropriate to include the possibility of a retainer for certified survey map/minor subdivision, preliminary plat, final plat, plat re-application, site plan/concept plan, planned unit development, annexation, land use plan amendment, and improvement review fee.

The Plan Commission agreed that a possibility of assessing a retainer for the zoning permit application, wavier of extra territorial zoning, zoning map amendment, zoning text amendment, variance, zoning appeal, sign permit, park & recreation facilities, temporary use permit, and architectural plan approval would not be necessary.

The meeting of the Village of Newburg Planning Commission was called to order. Present were Trustee Heili, Trustee Beitz, Commissioner Williamson, Commissioner Miller, Commissioner Delcore, Engineer Johnson, Attorney Kiefer and Building Inspector Mayer. Not present was Zoning Administrator Frank Mayer.

Meeting Called to order by Chairperson Heili at 7:02 PM

Unfinished Business

Discussion and possible action on Chapter 17 of the Zoning Regulations.

The Plan Commission discussed and determined that in order to review Chapter 17, Zoning Regulations, of the Municipal Code, the Plan Commission will need the entire Municipal Code book. The Plan Commission members realized that portions of the Chapter 17, Zoning Regulations refer back to other parts of the Municipal Code or the other sections of the Municipal Code may provide further detail or possibly conflict with Chapter 17, Zoning Regulations.

Attorney Kiefer and Planner Johnson suggested that the Plan Commission start reviewing at the beginning of Chapter 17, Zoning Regulations and work their way through.

The Plan Commission started to work their way through the definitions. Questions were asked to the Plan Commission by Attorney Gerry Kiefer and Planner Johnson if specific definitions were what the Plan Commission desired in the Village.

Attorney Kiefer asked if typically a parking stall was 180 square feet, Planner Johnson replied that 180 square feet sounded right

Commissioner Miller requested that the sign portion of Chapter 17, Zoning Regulations be covered at a later meeting.

Planner Johnson asked if the Plan Commission was comfortable with the current definition of a family in the Zoning Regulations. The Plan Commissioner discussed and clarified amongst themselves how the definition worked.

The Plan Commission discussed at great length the Farm definition and the two Agricultural Zoning districts and how farm animals were not allowed in the other zoning districts, except for the Pot Belly Pig. Commissioner Beitz, having a complete Municipal Code book read from the appropriate section.

While still looking generally at the Agricultural Zoning districts, the issue of Kennels and breeding arose. Once again, Commissioner Beitz, having a complete Municipal Code book was able to inform the Plan Commission that the Village has a dog license fee and that there was a definition of a kennel in Chapter 12. While digging deeper into the Municipal Code that there were competing and different definitions of a kennel, breeding facility and how many dogs a resident of Newburg could legally have and what the dogs were used for.

Chairperson Heili made a motion to table so that Planner Johnson could research the specifics that the Plan Commission membership was struggling with. No action was taken.

Attorney Kiefer stated that the Village may wish to consider re-codifying the Municipal Code. Attorney Kiefer stated that if an issue regarding different definitions ended up in court, the Judge would ask the Village what definition was it?

Attorney Kiefer also stated that it was beyond the Plan Commission’s responsibilities to review the entire Municipal Code and that if the Plan Commission did review the entire Municipal Code, the process would take a very long time.

Attorney Kiefer suggested as a way to focus the Plan Commission’s review that instead of starting at the beginning of Chapter 17, Zoning Regulations, of the Municipal Code, the Plan Commission could start by looking at the individual zoning districts and review the remaining sections of Chapter 17 after reviewing the zoning districts.

Commissioner Miller concurred and stated that she wanted to understand and clean up the zoning district descriptions in order to better prepare herself for the comprehensive planning work ahead.

Therefore, the Plan Commission began to focus on the residential zoning districts.

Commissioner Delcore stated that the only difference between the residential districts is the catering business and funeral home allowed in only the R-4 district with a conditional uses and the lot size, setbacks, building height, and so forth.

Commissioner Delcore asked if the residential zoning districts could be combined into a single district.

Attorney Kiefer replied that potentially non-conforming structures would be created and Planner Johnson added that by mixing a wide variety of lot sizes, an owner of a large lot that is double the size of the neighboring lot could subdivide and then increase the residential density of the neighborhood.

Commissioner Williamson suggested that possibly the funeral home could be moved to the B-2 district. Commissioner Williamson also provided a historical overview regarding why there were catering business and funeral home allowed in only the R-4 district with a conditional use.

Attorney Kiefer asked the Plan Commission if the Village wanted home occupations, bed and breakfast, churches and so forth allowable with a special use in the R-1 district if the R-1 was considered the large lot, upscale subdivision zoning district.

Commissioner Beitz thought that bed and breakfast, churches, schools, boarding houses may not be compatible in the R-1 zoning district, however home occupations should remain a conditional use.

The Plan Commission with guidance from Attorney Kiefer and Planner Johnson discussed the merits of the conditional use and how a conditional use would allow the Village to continue to regulate the uses and have the applicant go through the public hearing process which would allow for comments from Newburg’s citizenry. Also, it was recognized that the Village could rezone the property, however, this might create a spot zoning.

During extrapolating discussion, the Plan Commission determined that the R-1, R-2, and R-3 zoning districts were somewhat similar while the R-4 district was mainly found in the downtown area of the Village.

Commissioner Williamson said that the bed and breakfast that he was aware of were either located in downtown areas or out in the county on farms. Commissioner Williamson also thought that if the bed and breakfasts and smaller inns were located downtown, other businesses would open that would cater to the bed and breakfasts and smaller inn guests.

Commissioner Miller provided business details regarding her bed and breakfast business and concurred that bed and breakfasts should be allowable only in the downtown or on agricultural zoned districts.

b. The facade of new or remodeled structures should maintain a compatible relationship with those of existing structures in terms of window sill or header Lines, proportion of window and door openings, horizontal or vertical emphasis of major building elements, and extent of architectural detail. The Plan discussed and agreed that the proposed relocated steps would remain compatible with the rest of the existing structure.

c. Exterior remodeling should be designed to take into account the entire building facade. The ground floor exterior should be designed to harmonize with the upper stories.

d. The building materials and colors used should complement and be compatible with other buildings in the immediate area. The Plan Commission stated that is was their understanding that the new steps would be wood, just as the steps that they are replacing, but just at a different location.

e. In commercial buildings store front window display areas should be considered an important part of the -retail marketing strategy in the downtown area. Large glass windows and street level display areas should be retained or planned into new construction. The structure is a residential home, therefore not applicable.

f. Existing buildings and structures should be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations which have no historical basis should be discouraged.

First order of business:

Discussion with Charlie Mayhew about his land outside the current boundary of the Village of Newburg.

Commissioner Miller brought Mr. Mayhew up to date on the Planning Commission’s planning goals and visioning efforts and asked for his comments on his vision for the future development of his properties. Mr. Mayhew expressed his preference that his property holdings remain as open space, and, to that end, he is working with the Riveredge Nature Center to develop plans to achieve this goal. He is considering dedicating approximately 90% of this land to a conservancy easement. He stated his views that he would prefer to see adjoining land remain open or in agricultural use but, realizing that development may be inevitable, he would prefer low density and possible conservancy subdivision use.

Mr. Mayhew requested that we place the following on the agenda for the October 6, 2005 meeting of the Newburg Planning Commission:

Discussion and possible recommendation on rezoning certain lands owned or controlled by Charlie Mayhew within the Newburg Village Limits and within the Village of Newburg Extraterritorial Zoning Jurisdiction.

Second order of business:

This forum will be used to attempt to resolve differences between towns and cities/village extraterritorial land use plans or between county and town or county and city/village extraterritorial plans.

A brief presentation was also made informing the Planning Commission of pending legislation in the form of 2005 Assembly Bill 325 which would provide that a city or village extraterritorial land use plan would control over a town land use plan. Another related proposal under LRB 3121, not yet introduced, would provide authorization for towns to unilaterally withdraw from a county zoning plan.

He said he would see that it is on the agenda for the next meeting.

New Business

Motion by Commissioner Williamson, second by Commissioner Beitz to move the land division in item 3 of today’s agenda to the first item of business. Vote 4 Aye, 0 No, motion passed.

Third order or business:

Discussion and possible action on land division on Steeple View, part of the SE ¼ of the SW ¼ of Sectioin 12 Township 11 North, Rane 20 East, Village of Newburg, Washington County, Wisconsin.

President Sackett distributed a written recommendation prepared by Engineer Bednarski discussing impacts, standards and sinage relating to this division and generally indicating no impediments to approval.

Commissioner Miller raised the subject of possibly obtaining an easement for a strip of land approximately 30 feet by 340 feet, identified as outlot 2, that would connect S.T.H. 33 with the inside boundry of the parcel under consideration with the thought of providing a future pedestrian/bicycle access from Steeple View Drive to S.T.H. 33. Reservations were raised by Commissioners Williamson and Beitz as to how this access would be connected to Steeple View Drive across the proposed developed lot without eliminating any back yard for the proposed residence construction.

Motion by Commissioner Williamson, second by Trustee Chesak to accept the land division as proposed. Commissioners Williamson, Beitz, and Trustee Chesak voted Aye, Commissioner Miller voted No. Motion passed.

Motion by Commissioner Williamson, second by Commissioner Beitz to return to the agenda order as published. Vote 4 Aye, 0 No. Motion passed.

First order of business:

Discussion and possible action on ways to encourage public participation in visioning efforts.

Commissioner Beitz said he had asked that this item be placed on the agenda to discuss additional ways that could be employed to attract citizen attendance at Planning Commission meetings. He suggested the possibility of advertising upcoming meetings with yard signs to supplement the limited information postings on Village bulletin boards and the Bridges.

President Sackett expressed concern that one of the problems facing efforts to attract citizens on issues affecting parts of the Village was the perception of what our definition of these parts were. The example of "Downtown" was used. President Sackett opined that Downtown meant Main Street from No No’s to the bridge; Commissioner Williamson felt that Downtown meant the area between No No’s and the bridge and between the river and S.T.H. 33; Trustee Chesak felt that his residence on Congress St. was not in the Downtown area but that Downtown may include both Main St. and Division St.

There was general agreement that a common understanding of terms used to describe village areas would be valuable in communication with the public and securing their input.

Commissioner Beitz reported on the progress of the Ozaukee County Smart Growth Citizens Advisory Committee and the plans of S.E.W.R.P.C to complete population growth forecasts by the September or November meetings.

Engineer Johnson suggested that the Planning Commission begin the visioning process by developing a starting point for long range land use planning to present to the public for their comment and possible suggestions for modification rather that try to get the public to come up with ideas "cold".

Commissioner Miller reminded us that we have the most recent survey results to be guiding us and that these should be a basis from which to start.

Commissioner Miller pointed out that there are several large pieces of land in the Village held by individuals or organizations and that we need to recognize and consider the plans of the owners of this land for their possible future use. It was agreed that it would be a good idea to start by inviting Charlie Mayhew to a future Planning Commission meeting to discuss his vision for the property he holds.

Second order of business:

Discussion and possible action on providing reference and educational material to Commission members.

Commissioner Beitz said that this was an agenda item he requested. He specifically referred to the Municipality, a monthly publication by the League of Wisconsin Municipalities that contains a great deal of useful information relating to planning issues. The publication is provided by the League to elected office holders as part of the municipality membership, but not to non-elected commissioners or committee members.

Motion by Commissioner Beitz second by Commissioner Miller to ask the Board to approve a subscription to the Municipality at a cost of $18.00 per annum for each non-trustee Planning Commission Member. Vote 5 Aye, 0 No. Motion passed.

Engineer Johnson said he had access to a publications entitled Job of the Planning Commissioner and that he will look into summarizing information as training points for the Planning Commission members on an ongoing basis.

Miscellaneous business:

Commissioner Beitz said that he was concerned about the Board sending a previous recommendation to create an ad-hoc committee for a civic improvement award back to the Planning Commission. He said that the sense of the Planning Commission in making that recommendation was that the subject was not appropriate for the Planning Commission and that the Board should make their decision as to whether they feel it is a worth-while undertaking. President Sackett said he would consider the issue and how best to proceed.

Commissioner Beitz also informed the Commission that, with the resignation of Trustee and former Planning Commission Chair Woda, that there was no official representative of the Village of Newburg on the Citizens Advisory Committees of Ozaukee or Washington Counties. President Sackett asked that Commissioner Beitz, in his capacity of citizen representative on both of the committees act a conduit for information until such time as an official representative is appointed.

Motion by Commissioner Miller, second by Commissioner Beitz to adjourn. Vote 5 Aye, 0 No. Motion passed.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m.

Respectfully submitted:

Phil Beitz, acting secretary.
