WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:05.000
Any commission for June 18th, 2026, Mr. Newmyer is excused

00:05.560 --> 00:09.560
as is Mr. Herlach and Dr. McMahon.

00:09.560 --> 00:11.720
At this time, is there anyone willing to make a motion

00:11.720 --> 00:14.520
to approve the previous meeting minutes?

00:14.520 --> 00:15.360
So moved.

00:16.360 --> 00:17.400
There's a motion and a second.

00:17.400 --> 00:19.400
Any questions or concerns on that motion?

00:19.400 --> 00:21.840
Seeing none, all in favor signify by saying aye.

00:21.840 --> 00:22.680
Aye.

00:22.680 --> 00:23.520
Opposed?

00:23.520 --> 00:24.640
All right, the motion carries.

00:24.640 --> 00:25.840
Takes us into public comments.

00:25.840 --> 00:27.960
Is there anyone who would like to make public comments

00:27.960 --> 00:28.800
this evening?

00:28.800 --> 00:30.560
Three minutes.

00:30.560 --> 00:32.560
We're capping in at 30 minutes.

00:32.560 --> 00:35.000
Any public comments and appearances?

00:35.000 --> 00:37.360
All right, seeing none, let's move into the agenda item.

00:37.360 --> 00:40.320
First agenda item is a minor review.

00:40.320 --> 00:42.840
Consideration and action on a possible action

00:42.840 --> 00:45.240
on a proposed We Energy Guard House

00:45.240 --> 00:49.120
located at 146 South Wisconsin Street.

00:49.120 --> 00:51.560
Bill Burkey, We Energy is as the applicant.

00:51.560 --> 00:54.000
The background is that the Planning Commission

00:54.000 --> 00:56.160
is being asked to approve the new guard house building

00:56.160 --> 00:57.840
that will replace the existing structure

00:57.840 --> 00:59.400
located at the main street interest

00:59.400 --> 01:01.400
of the Port Washington Generating Station

01:01.400 --> 01:03.240
on Cole Dock Park Drive.

01:03.240 --> 01:05.280
The background or the issue is the proposed guard house

01:05.280 --> 01:07.560
will replace the existing one

01:07.560 --> 01:09.320
and the location will be unchanged

01:09.320 --> 01:11.160
as shown on the attached document.

01:11.160 --> 01:12.740
The staff recommends approval.

01:14.080 --> 01:14.920
Mr. Harris.

01:17.000 --> 01:19.280
All right, I think this is about as straightforward

01:19.280 --> 01:21.000
as it gets.

01:21.000 --> 01:25.600
Here is the existing guard house at Cole Dock Park,

01:25.640 --> 01:26.960
aerial overhead.

01:28.400 --> 01:31.520
What you're gonna see is a like for like guard house

01:31.520 --> 01:33.720
at the same location,

01:33.720 --> 01:38.160
save for a few square feet of size

01:38.160 --> 01:40.720
and the elevations are in your packet.

01:40.720 --> 01:43.360
So what you're seeing is We Energy's

01:43.360 --> 01:46.000
just wishing to replace their guard house

01:46.000 --> 01:49.480
with just one that's a little larger in the same location

01:49.480 --> 01:51.400
and is kind of noted.

01:51.440 --> 01:56.440
It's just that the zoning requires all buildings like this

01:58.120 --> 02:01.240
just to receive plant commission approval.

02:01.240 --> 02:02.360
Pretty straightforward.

02:02.360 --> 02:04.000
I would recommend approval,

02:04.000 --> 02:06.520
but if you have any more questions,

02:06.520 --> 02:07.720
we Energy's is on it.

02:09.320 --> 02:11.320
Any questions for Bob or clarifications?

02:12.840 --> 02:15.280
Move to approve as presented.

02:15.280 --> 02:16.440
There is a motion to approve.

02:16.440 --> 02:17.440
Is there a second?

02:17.440 --> 02:18.360
Second.

02:18.360 --> 02:19.200
Moved and seconded.

02:19.200 --> 02:21.120
Any questions or concerns on the motion?

02:21.560 --> 02:23.920
Seeing none, all in favor signify by saying aye.

02:23.920 --> 02:24.600
Aye.

02:24.600 --> 02:25.880
Opposed?

02:25.880 --> 02:26.720
Motion carries.

02:26.720 --> 02:28.160
I did have one question.

02:28.160 --> 02:29.040
You don't have to answer that,

02:29.040 --> 02:30.160
but I was just wondering,

02:30.160 --> 02:32.640
is the door height high enough for a Grenadier?

02:34.840 --> 02:35.680
The big beer.

02:35.680 --> 02:37.400
British military people with the big hair.

02:37.400 --> 02:38.720
Okay.

02:38.720 --> 02:40.760
It's just a wondering.

02:40.760 --> 02:42.960
We don't do a lot of guard houses approval.

02:42.960 --> 02:45.280
So I thought that would be okay.

02:45.280 --> 02:46.720
That joke felt very flat.

02:46.720 --> 02:47.560
All right.

02:47.560 --> 02:50.240
So the next agenda item is a special exemption

02:50.240 --> 02:51.640
for consideration and possible action

02:51.640 --> 02:53.880
on a setback encroachment for a residential fence

02:53.880 --> 02:56.880
located at 1361 Norwich Trail.

02:56.880 --> 02:59.200
James Showalter is the applicant.

02:59.200 --> 03:00.560
The planned commission is being asked

03:00.560 --> 03:01.840
to approve a special exemption

03:01.840 --> 03:04.560
to allow for the installation of a residential fence

03:04.560 --> 03:07.040
three feet high into the side street setback.

03:08.000 --> 03:09.560
Bob can go through the issue

03:09.560 --> 03:14.320
and the recommendation is to approve the setback.

03:14.320 --> 03:15.160
Mr. Harris.

03:15.160 --> 03:16.000
All right.

03:16.000 --> 03:17.960
So again, in your packet,

03:17.960 --> 03:20.160
it's all because it's a side street.

03:20.160 --> 03:23.360
And the, what would you call it?

03:23.360 --> 03:25.200
The northwest corner of the lot line

03:25.200 --> 03:28.200
is clipped rather than at a right angle.

03:28.200 --> 03:32.360
And so what James and his family wish to do

03:32.360 --> 03:34.840
was place the privacy fence for their pool,

03:34.840 --> 03:37.320
which a fence is required anyways.

03:37.320 --> 03:41.240
Three feet into that angled setback.

03:41.240 --> 03:44.280
If you just go back straight as a 90 degree angle,

03:44.280 --> 03:45.720
the 30 foot would be fine,

03:45.720 --> 03:47.600
but because of that clip corner

03:47.600 --> 03:49.880
and the angle of that lot line,

03:49.880 --> 03:52.000
it's technically encroaching three feet.

03:52.000 --> 03:54.360
So all we have to do is get a special exception

03:54.360 --> 03:57.080
to allow that three foot encroachment.

03:58.920 --> 04:00.240
Any questions?

04:00.240 --> 04:04.040
No, and, you know, just given the location of the lot,

04:04.040 --> 04:06.040
the, you know, the screening,

04:06.040 --> 04:08.040
there's no issues with the vision triangle.

04:11.480 --> 04:13.120
Okay.

04:13.120 --> 04:14.920
Mr. Ehrlich, I'll move approval.

04:14.920 --> 04:17.760
There's a motion to approve, is there a second?

04:17.760 --> 04:19.400
Seconded by Ms. Mock.

04:19.400 --> 04:21.400
Any questions or concerns on the motion?

04:22.560 --> 04:25.240
All right, seeing none, all in favor signify by saying aye.

04:25.240 --> 04:26.080
Aye.

04:26.080 --> 04:27.400
Opposed?

04:27.400 --> 04:29.120
Motion carries.

04:29.120 --> 04:31.280
Good luck with your project.

04:31.280 --> 04:33.640
All right, that takes us into the zoning code rewrite

04:33.640 --> 04:34.480
the discussion.
