1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Any commission for June 18th, 2026, Mr. Newmyer is excused

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:09,560
as is Mr. Herlach and Dr. McMahon.

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,720
At this time, is there anyone willing to make a motion

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,520
to approve the previous meeting minutes?

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:15,360
So moved.

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,400
There's a motion and a second.

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,400
Any questions or concerns on that motion?

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,840
Seeing none, all in favor signify by saying aye.

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,680
Aye.

10
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:23,520
Opposed?

11
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:24,640
All right, the motion carries.

12
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:25,840
Takes us into public comments.

13
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,960
Is there anyone who would like to make public comments

14
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:28,800
this evening?

15
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,560
Three minutes.

16
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,560
We're capping in at 30 minutes.

17
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,000
Any public comments and appearances?

18
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,360
All right, seeing none, let's move into the agenda item.

19
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,320
First agenda item is a minor review.

20
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,840
Consideration and action on a possible action

21
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,240
on a proposed We Energy Guard House

22
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,120
located at 146 South Wisconsin Street.

23
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,560
Bill Burkey, We Energy is as the applicant.

24
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,000
The background is that the Planning Commission

25
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,160
is being asked to approve the new guard house building

26
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,840
that will replace the existing structure

27
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,400
located at the main street interest

28
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,400
of the Port Washington Generating Station

29
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,240
on Cole Dock Park Drive.

30
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,280
The background or the issue is the proposed guard house

31
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,560
will replace the existing one

32
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,320
and the location will be unchanged

33
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:11,160
as shown on the attached document.

34
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,740
The staff recommends approval.

35
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:14,920
Mr. Harris.

36
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,280
All right, I think this is about as straightforward

37
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,000
as it gets.

38
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,600
Here is the existing guard house at Cole Dock Park,

39
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,960
aerial overhead.

40
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,520
What you're gonna see is a like for like guard house

41
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,720
at the same location,

42
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,160
save for a few square feet of size

43
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,720
and the elevations are in your packet.

44
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,360
So what you're seeing is We Energy's

45
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,000
just wishing to replace their guard house

46
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,480
with just one that's a little larger in the same location

47
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,400
and is kind of noted.

48
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,440
It's just that the zoning requires all buildings like this

49
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,240
just to receive plant commission approval.

50
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,360
Pretty straightforward.

51
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,000
I would recommend approval,

52
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,520
but if you have any more questions,

53
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,720
we Energy's is on it.

54
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,320
Any questions for Bob or clarifications?

55
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,280
Move to approve as presented.

56
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,440
There is a motion to approve.

57
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,440
Is there a second?

58
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,360
Second.

59
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,200
Moved and seconded.

60
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,120
Any questions or concerns on the motion?

61
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,920
Seeing none, all in favor signify by saying aye.

62
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:24,600
Aye.

63
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,880
Opposed?

64
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,720
Motion carries.

65
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,160
I did have one question.

66
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,040
You don't have to answer that,

67
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,160
but I was just wondering,

68
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,640
is the door height high enough for a Grenadier?

69
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:35,680
The big beer.

70
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,400
British military people with the big hair.

71
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Okay.

72
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,760
It's just a wondering.

73
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,960
We don't do a lot of guard houses approval.

74
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,280
So I thought that would be okay.

75
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,720
That joke felt very flat.

76
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,560
All right.

77
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,240
So the next agenda item is a special exemption

78
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,640
for consideration and possible action

79
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:53,880
on a setback encroachment for a residential fence

80
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,880
located at 1361 Norwich Trail.

81
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,200
James Showalter is the applicant.

82
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,560
The planned commission is being asked

83
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,840
to approve a special exemption

84
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,560
to allow for the installation of a residential fence

85
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,040
three feet high into the side street setback.

86
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,560
Bob can go through the issue

87
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,320
and the recommendation is to approve the setback.

88
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,160
Mr. Harris.

89
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,000
All right.

90
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,960
So again, in your packet,

91
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,160
it's all because it's a side street.

92
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,360
And the, what would you call it?

93
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,200
The northwest corner of the lot line

94
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,200
is clipped rather than at a right angle.

95
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,360
And so what James and his family wish to do

96
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,840
was place the privacy fence for their pool,

97
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,320
which a fence is required anyways.

98
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,240
Three feet into that angled setback.

99
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,280
If you just go back straight as a 90 degree angle,

100
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,720
the 30 foot would be fine,

101
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,600
but because of that clip corner

102
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,880
and the angle of that lot line,

103
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,000
it's technically encroaching three feet.

104
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,360
So all we have to do is get a special exception

105
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,080
to allow that three foot encroachment.

106
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,240
Any questions?

107
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,040
No, and, you know, just given the location of the lot,

108
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,040
the, you know, the screening,

109
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,040
there's no issues with the vision triangle.

110
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,120
Okay.

111
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,920
Mr. Ehrlich, I'll move approval.

112
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,760
There's a motion to approve, is there a second?

113
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,400
Seconded by Ms. Mock.

114
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,400
Any questions or concerns on the motion?

115
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,240
All right, seeing none, all in favor signify by saying aye.

116
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,080
Aye.

117
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,400
Opposed?

118
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,120
Motion carries.

119
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,280
Good luck with your project.

120
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:33,640
All right, that takes us into the zoning code rewrite

121
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,480
the discussion.
