 Approval of the Minutes from the December 2, 2025 meeting.

  Alderman Madden made a motion to approve the December 2, 2025 meeting minutes. Commissioner Bartlett
  seconded. Motion to approve passed unanimously.

PUBLIC HEARING

 Public Hearing for a Conditional Use Grant in accordance with the Muskego Zoning Ordinance
 for the purpose of allowing a guest house located at W207 S8686 Hillendale Drive / Tax Key No.
 2227.990.

  Alderman Hammel opened the Public Hearing at 6:02 PM.

  Marie Diekfuss, W207 S8602 Hillendale Dr., the main concern is the shared pond and questions the unknown
  number of guests on the pond for boating and fishing as they hold liability insurance with increased activity
  with an AirBnb type situation.

  Maranda Baseler, W207 S8580 Hillendale Dr., her objection is not based on assumptions but enforceability
  and that the Conditional Use be evaluated on the entire property and not just a single guesthouse. There is
  already a fully remodeled primary residence and there was a large pole building approved with significant
  open indoor space, sports courts and public-style restrooms was approved by the city. The guesthouse is
  addition to these buildings. The new guesthouse has over 6 bedrooms, an owners suite and large gathering
  areas. Collectively this is a large increase in capacity and use intensity beyond the norm for an accessory
  building in an agricultural district. Muskego Code says that it should be subordinate to the residence and must
  never be rented. The design scale raises reasonable questions whether the accessory building is subordinate
  and then enables uses that the city would have difficulty monitoring once constructed. Conditional use
  decisions should be reviewed for what the structure enables, not just it is called. Once approved and built
  enforcement becomes compliant driven forcing neighbors to monitor activity rather than the city. This is not
  how conditional use oversight is intended. This property is adjacent to shared natural features. They increase
  occupancy and number of visitors, liability exposure, safety risks and the likelihood of unauthorized use of our
  shared water resources. These impacts are predictable, not speculative. Agriculture zoning exists to limit the
  intensity and preserve rural character. Approving a guesthouse of this scale along with the other large
  accessory buildings sets a precedence inconsistent with the intent of the district and difficult to reverse. There
  are also a few questions including, can the owners clarify the maximum number of overnight occupants the
  guest house is designed to accommodate and how that number compares to the primary residence and also
  the purpose of the owner’s suite in a guest house. They would also like to know how the city will determine
  whether the accessory structure is subordinate when it is exceeds the size and bedroom count of the primary
  home. Additionally, if future use exceeds what is typical for residential guest housing, what specific
  enforcement will the city rely on and how would those be monitored without ongoing complaints from
  neighbors. Is the plan commission reviewing this proposal independently or with all of the development and
  occupancy on the property. In closing, they are being told this is for family use, but conditional use decisions
  are not just based on stated intent but whether the design and scale of the proposed building enables uses
  that are compatible with the zoning and enforceable by the city over time. Her concern is not only who uses
  the building today, but whether the city can confidently ensure that the use remains consistent with accessory
  residential standards over the life of the structure.

  James Baseler, W207 S8580 Hillendale Dr., has some questions, can the committee define how the city
  should distinguish the structure from being an event or a community building, what is the maximum number of
  people, any features like large open spaces, seating capacity and amenities that would encourage group
  events, how many vehicles do you anticipate on the property during peak use, has a traffic analysis been
  conducted, how would emergency vehicles access the buildings, how will the city distinguish private guests
  from public community use after approval, if neighbors see large frequent gatherings – how does the city plan
  to enforce, and what prevents similar structures from being requested by others.

  Public Hearing closed at 6:12 PM.

NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION

 RESOLUTION PC 001-2026 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan and Conditional
 Use Grant for Richard and Julie Parfrey located at W207 S8686 Hillendale Drive / Tax Key No.
 2227.990.
  Planner Trzebiatowski explained that guest houses do not have to be the existing home. There are guest
  houses located all over the City and most times, people don’t even know they exist. Normally these are on
  larger properties. So the new home will be the primary residence will be owner occupied and the guest house
  will be the house that exists on the lot today. The code does not require that a guest house be smaller than
  the primary house. There is a minimum size for a guest house, but in both cases tonight the guest house will
  be the new house and all houses will meet the code as far as size. There is no maximum size for a guest
  house. There are three buildings including the existing house, the new house that will become the primary
  residence and the outbuilding. As for the use, the lot is almost 14 acres in size so three structures and the
  proposed home, which will be the primary home, will be almost double the existing house that will be the guest
  house. The petitioner is proposing to color-coordinate the houses with possible renovations to the existing
  home. This is not required by ordinance. Guest houses are not allowed to be rented or leased. This will be
  formalized in a document and recorded with Waukesha County. This is there is a real estate restriction tied to
  the property. The guest house cannot be used as an Airbnb. As part of the Resolution the guest house
  cannot be used for any business use or storage or any income generating use. The ordinance does not limit
  the number of bedrooms, bathrooms or square footage except the minimum size requirement. Plan
Commission cannot make any decisions based on speculation. As far as liability questions, this would be
outside of City functions and those with concerns should discuss this with their insurance. As for the number
of vehicles, as long as they are on an improved hard surface they are fine. There was no traffic study
completed for a single-family house.

Commissioner Graf asked why there was a public hearing if this went through the full review. Planner
Trzebiatowski said that any time there is something considered a Conditional Use, there is a public hearing.

Commissioner Graf made a motion to approve Resolution PC 001-2026. Alderman Madden seconded.
Motion to approve Resolution PC 001-2026 passed unanimously.

 RESOLUTION PC 002-2026 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan and Conditional
 Use Grant for Manuel Rojo located at W208 S8861 Hillendale Drive / Tax Key No. 2233.996.

Planner Trzebiatowski discussed the project. There is a farm home with several accessory structures. The
new house will be the primary residence and the existing house would become the guest house. The same
requirements from the last one also apply here. The new house will be almost triple the existing house and
the lot size is almost double what is required. The petitioners are planning on undertaking some renovations
on the existing house. The building cannot be used for any rental or business uses. A Conditional Use Grant
document will be recorded.

Commissioner Bartlett stated that typically there are shared driveways and this proposal shows a second
driveway. Could you explain the regulations for the second driveway. Planner Trzebiatowski said that on a
city road, the city does not restrict access. There is nothing in the Ordinance to prevent multiple driveways. If
the Plan Commission is concerned about a second driveway, they could amend the Resolution.

Commissioner Bartlett made a motion to approve Resolution PC 002-2026. Alderman Madden seconded.
Motion to approve Resolution PC 002-2026 passed unanimously.

 RESOLUTION PC 003-2026 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan for Inpro located
 on a vacant parcel at the northwest corner of Mercury Drive and Saturn Drive / Tax Key No.
 2228.999.003.

Planner Trzebiatowski provided an overview of the Inpro project. In the industrial park, Inpro is looking to build
a new 30,000 sq. ft. building to expand their operations with similar uses as the building to the east. There will
be office space and then a larger warehouse structure with truck docks. The building will be operating
Monday thru Friday 24-hours per day. The use is allowed in the business park. The building will be precast
masonry panels with different shades of grey with blue stripes. There are canopy features over the doors.
The southern side of the building will have seven truck docks with six sunken. The overhead doors are a grey
color that appears to match the color of the wall. While parked a truck will extend into the right-of-way but not
past the drive aisle. The western-most truck dock is located in the western stall with some landscaping. Staff
is recommending additional landscaping. There are 30 parking stalls on site and it appears as though there is
sufficient parking, but if needed they can use another shared lot across the street. Parking does meet all the
parking setbacks. Curb and gutter is shown on the site with two areas without curbing for snowplowing. Staff
did think adding a low-profile curb in those areas to complete the curbing may be nice but it is not in the
Resolution unless the Plan Commission wants to add it. Regarding the mechanicals on site there are units on
the roof with screening on three of the sides, but we want to be sure that the units are not visible from any
sides so adding screening to the last side will likely be needed. Formal landscaping review will happen with
permits.

Commissioner Bartlett likes the building and didn’t see the additional screening in the Resolution. Planner
Trzebiatowski noted that adding screening to the fourth side could specifically be added as there is a standard
note that mechanicals must be screened on all four sides.

Commissioner Graf made a motion to approve Resolution PC 003-2026. Commissioner Bartlett seconded.
Commissioner Bartlett made a motion to add screening to all four sides of the rooftop mechanicals.
Commissioner Graf seconded. Motion to amend Resolution PC 003-2026 passed unanimously. Motion to
approve Amended Resolution PC 003-2026 passed unanimously.
 RESOLUTION PC 004-2026 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan Amendment for
 the Shell Convenience Store and Car Wash located at S76 W17871 & S76 W17857 Janesville
 Road / Tax Key Nos. 2196.975 & 2196.973.

 Planner Trzebiatowski explained that the petitioner is going through a rebranding to a Shell logo. Typically, if
 this is just the canopy staff completes a review, but this petition is for the buildings. There will be a banding
 with Shell colors on the store building to match the canopies and then on the car wash building where the old
 awning was located will be the same banding to tie the buildings together. The sides of the building where
 there are three red stripes will not have the same banding, but the red stripes will be painted to match the
 same red color on the banding. The stripes on the sides and rear of the building must be painted within six
 months as stated in the Resolution.

 Commissioner Graf asked if this will be everything on the site. Planner Trzebiatowski explained that it will be
 the two canopies that are already completed and now the two buildings.

 Commissioner Cieslak asked if the coping on the top of the car wash building will be painted like the other
 building. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that on the convenience store building the façade will be wrapped on
 the east side, the front and then the section on the west sides. The addition portions of the garage will not
 have the wrapping.

 Commissioner Cieslak asked about the size of the signage on the drawings. Planner Trzebiatowski said that
 the drawings are the best we could get from the applicant, but the size of the signage will be reviewed
 separately to ensure the 5% limit is upheld.

 Commissioner Bartlett just wanted to bring up the ice machine in front of the building that does not match the
 building color. Commissioner Bartlett just wanted to reiterate the importance of consistency to the Plan
 Commission. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that he remembers years ago prior to the enforcement of matching
 colors with this machine that there was something in an old approval that allowed this to stay.

 Commissioner Bartlett made a motion to approve Resolution PC 004-2026. Commissioner Graf seconded.
 Commissioner Cieslak made a motion that the coping on the top of the car wash building be painted to match
 the white coping on the convenience store while painting the lower two red stripes the red shade to match the
 metal banding. Alderman Madden seconded. Motion to amend Resolution PC 004-2026 passed
 unanimously. Motion to approve Amended Resolution PC 004-2026 passed unanimously.
