NE corner of Hwy A & H. This sign would be for informational
messages regarding fire dept. safety and education. Wagner
stated WE energies had no objections. Mueller asked if this was
discussed with the neighbors in the area. Janik felt this is the
wrong zoning and too close to a residential area. Members
referred to Section 17.27 (2)(g) of the Ordinance which states
signs are permitted in all districts without a permit; (g)
Official signs: such as traffic control, parking restrictions,
information, and notices. Armstrong was concerned about the
definition of Official for this particular use. Wagner also
requested that this matter be on the agenda for the November
Town Board meeting, as some of the Dept.s FEMA Grant Funds will
be used for the construction and there is a time limit on the
use of the funds. Williams questioned this use of FEMA Funds and
asked if the WFD would be erecting this sign without those
funds. Wagner’s reply was no.

DISCUSS ZONING CHANGES FROM M-2 TO B-2 FOR
SCHWAI’S, BIG JOE’S, AND FREDONIA AUTOMOTIVE; CHANGE REQUESTED
BY TOWN: Change in zoning is to reflect current (and past)
use. Current businesses would be "grandfathered"; any change to
current uses would require a CUP. Mueller noted Schwai’s &
Fredonia Automotive had phoned to state their agreement for the
change. No response has been received from Big Joe’s. Matter to
be scheduled for Public Hearing in December, after a second
discussion by Plan Commission, and recommendation to Town Board,
in November. MOTION Huiras to approve zoning change;
second Williams, carried.
REVIEW CSM/PLANS TO SPLIT PARSONAGE FROM ST.
PAUL’S COMMUNITY CHURCH (WAUBEKA COMMUNITY CHURCH): Gordon
Schaefer, Treasurer of St. Paul’s Community Church presented a
CSM. Schaefer stated CSM needs to be corrected as street name is
incorrect - should be Memorial Drive not River Street.
Correction to be made by surveyor. Schaefer further stated he
has an accepted offer on the parsonage pending the land
division. Members felt the CSM meets all requirements. The
Church zoning, currently R-4, would be addressed when that
building is sold. The parsonage would remain zoned R-4. Schaefer
said the tentative closing date for sale of parsonage is October
21, 2005. He requested a special meeting of the Plan Commission

DEED RESTRICTION ON 35 ACRE PARCEL SHE OWNS WEST OF N6571 KAY-K
RD.: Helm would like to be able to use this 35 acre parcel
for a single family building site. Helm was present and
noted she would like to build a home on the west end of the
parcel. She was reminded that she had agreed to the deed
restriction, so the parcel could be split, for financing
reasons. Stadler felt the restriction should be removed as it
meets the A-1 zoning of 35 acres. Armstrong felt the restriction
should be taken off when she is ready to build. Matter adjourned
to November Plan Commission meeting.
REQUEST FROM REALTOR, SANDRA CARROLL AND
PROSPECTIVE BUYER, ROBERT HACKBARTH TO REMOVE DEED RESTRICTION
ON LOT 1, AN 11 ACRE PARCEL ON CLOVER VALLEY RD., ZONED A-2;
BUYER WANTS TO SPLIT INTO TWO LOTS: Sandra Carroll
appeared with Dan Truod of Coldwell Banker. Truod stated each
lot could have frontage of 552 feet with one driveway entrance
being on Hwy I and the other on Clover Valley Rd. Armstrong
stated he is not in favor of removing the deed restriction to
split the parcel. Mueller noted the Plan Commission and Board
felt this area was better suited for larger parcels when the
land division was approved, and therefore the deed restrictions
were placed on these parcels. The new zoning category A-3 did
not exist at that time. More lots in this area would not follow
the Long Range Plan and the surrounding parcels, created at the
same time, have the same restrictions. MOTION Armstrong
to deny request; second Williams, carried. Vote 6 to 1, with
Lederer voting against.
PAUL PACHERT FOR CARROLL PARCHERT, REQUEST
FOR LAND DIVISION W3458 MEADOWLARK RD.; THE 5 ACRES IN THE TOWN
HAS ZONING OF A-2 AND C-1: Paul Parchert was present and had
questions regarding where the 330’ of frontage was measured
from. Two homes are now using one driveway (easement). Parchert
presented a preliminary sketch. He asked if he could build the
home at the back of this parcel and meet the 330’ frontage
required in the A-2 zoning district. A revised driveway
agreement will be required for three homes using one driveway
(easement). Matter adjourned to November meeting at which time
Pachert is to bring in a CSM indicating where the home will be
built. A poll of members showed all in agreement that the home
could be built on the proposed parcel.
PERRY PAULUS N5795 KAY-K RD OWNS 220 ACRES
ZONED A-1. THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO HOMES ON THE PARCEL; HE WANTS
TO SPLIT OFF EACH HOME WITH 35 ACRES EACH AND BUILD A NEW HOME
ON THE REMAINDER OF THE PARCEL. Perry Paulus presented a
sketch of the proposed split indicating the location of the two
homes with 35 acres each, and his proposed dwelling. Paulus was
advised to get a CSM, keeping in mind each parcel requires 330’
of frontage, and return to the November meeting.
REVIEW PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN: Stadler
gave members a handout of the PPP. SEWRPC, the County, and
representatives from the Town all had input into this document.
PC members agreed with the terms of the PPP. The Town now needs
to adopt a Resolution agreeing to follow this Plan. MOTION

POSSIBLE REZONE TO CORRECT THE ZONING FROM M-2 TO B-2 ON THE
THREE BUSINESS PARCELS IN THIS AREA (FREDONIA AUTOMOTIVE, BIG
JOE’S AND SCHWAI’S): Chad Uselding appeared in person and
presented a hobby race car so members could see what they are
like. Christine Luft questioned notification of neighboring land
owners. She was advised that the Ordinance dictates that all
neighboring land owners within 200 ft would be notified, and in
this case, due to the noise factor, more neighbors would be
notified. Williams questioned the noise level and if decibels
are within Ordinance limits. Uselding responded that an expert
would be present at the first race, to record decibel levels.
The first race would be scheduled for Memorial Day weekend 2006,
if the Conditional Use Permit is approved for construction of
the race track. He further stated that he believes the level is
much lower than the maximum listed in the ordinance. There are
approximately 10 cars per race according to Uselding. Mueller
read a draft of a Conditional Use Permit, and the only points of
further discussion were the hours of operation and open
intoxicants. Hours of operation as determined by members, should
be as follows: Friday and Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.,
Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday thru Thursday 10:00 a.m.
to 9:00 p.m. for testing cars only. No competitive races are to
be held Monday thru Thursday. Open intoxicants should be
addressed as follows: No alcohol will be allowed on the
property, the race track, or in the store, by participants or
spectators. Uselding was in agreement with all these terms and
conditions. Public Hearing may be postponed to be held in
conjunction with rezoning of the business properties in this
area on Hwy H. There was no discussion regarding zoning as this
time.

DIVISION OF HIS 60 ACRE PARCEL IN SECTION 32, AND REZONE OF 10+
ACRES TO A-3: Mayhew appeared in person and presented a CSM
indicating splitting off 13.65 acres with the home and out
buildings; this parcel would be rezoned to A-3. . Mueller
examined the CSM and questioned why there was a diagonal line;
he stated the Town prefers straight lines if at all possible
when dividing property. Mayhew indicated the balance of the
property, 46.35 acres, would remain zoned A-1, as is the land
east and west of his parcel. Mueller stated the diagonal line
should be straightened as much as possible and still keep 330’
of frontage on both parcels. Stadler is concerned about the
rezone as it does not conform to the Long Range Plan presently
in effect. MOTION Mueller to recommend the Board’s
approval of the CSM, pending the changes noted above; rezone the
13+ acres to A-3; schedule matter for a Public Hearing on
October 13, 2005; second Lederer; carried 5 to 1, with Stadler

Shawn Graft of Oz. Wash Land Trust was present and advised that
the plan is for a conservation subdivision to protect the
Milwaukee River and the tree line. Chris Frommell of Lakeside
Development advised that Doerr would donate approximately 25
acres of the land to the Land Trust to preserve the river area,
trees and wetlands. The balance of the land would be parceled
out to create approximately 39, 1 acre lots. Mueller asked if
any perk tests were conducted on the proposed lot areas. The
answer was no. Members conferred and agreed that the proposal,
as presented, does not fit the Long Range Plan zoning and
density currently suggested for the Town.
DISCUSS PROBABLE "ERROR" IN ZONING ON FOUR
PARCELS ALONG RIVERSIDE ROAD. APPROX 500’ EAST OF ROAD IS ZONED
R-2: Property owners, Bernier, Weyker, Witta and Baumann
appeared. After a brief discussion and examination of the zoning
maps, it was determined that the properties were incorrectly
zoned; a recommendation will be made to the Board to correct the
areas zoned R-2 to A-2. Present owners uses would be
grandfathered, but any new owners would have to conform to the
current ordinances. All property owners affected agreed to the
rezone. MOTION Stadler to recommend re-zone to Board,
second Williams; carried.

MARK & KIM NUGENT, W4986 KOHLER DR., SECTION
18, WANT TO SPLIT OFF 5 ACS FROM THEIR 25.22 AC. PARCEL, ZONED
A-2, AND CREATE 3 LOTS ON THIS 5 ACRES FOR THEIR CHILDREN;
PARCEL WAS DEED RESTRICTED IN ’94 TO ALLOW ONLY ONE RESIDENCE:
Mark & Kim Nugent appeared along with Attorney Jeffery
Berlin. A petition was filed with the Town, signed by area
residents, indicating they have no objection to the deed
restriction being lifted. Location of lots, placement of
driveways, and road frontages were discussed. Commission members
agreed to lift the deed restriction, but Janik and Huiras
disagree with the preliminary plan presented as the lots do not
meet the required 5 acres for the A-2 zoning. Members advised
that the proposed lots could be moved to the west and be
increased to 5 acres each. Matter adjourned to next month.
CARROLL PARCHERT, W3458 MEADLOWLARK RD., OWNS
A PARCEL WHICH IS PARTLY IN THE VILLAGE AND PART (7.5 ACS) IN
THE TOWN. SECTION 34, ZONING IS A-2 AND SOME C-1. HE DESIRES TO
SPLIT OFF 2.5 ACS. ON THE TOWN SIDE AND ADD IT TO SOME ACRES ON
THE VILLAGE SIDE TO CREATE A PARCEL FOR HIS SON TO BUILD ON.
BUILDING WOULD BE IN TOWN: Carroll Parchert appeared and
presented a preliminary plan for discussion. Neighboring lot
owner, Jeff Liermann, would like an easement from Parchert to
access his parcel. Liermann may want to build a home on his
parcel in the future, but the Town only allows three homes off
of one driveway. Parchert and Liermann will try to resolve this
issue. As for Parchert’s land division, the PC felt the zoning
was correct to allow this request (Parchert checked with the
Village, and their zoning is the same as the Town’s on the part
he would like to split off). Mueller reminded Parchert that 330’
of frontage is required. Parchert wants the building/s to be
built on that part of the proposed parcel which would be in the
Town. Matter adjourned to September 1, 2005, for further review,
and discussion regarding a possible easement for Liermann.
DISCUSSION RE: COUNTY AND TOWN LONG RANGE

new maps were not adopted due to too many errors noted by
residents. The adopted zoning maps are the ones we must use.

AND TOWN’S LONG RANGE PLAN: McKay presented a brief outline
of the County and Town’s Long Range Plans. McKay stated that we

outline with our own modifications or design our own plan. McKay
stressed that SEWRPC is available to assist in the planning for
our Town. Once the plan is drafted, a Public Hearing will be
scheduled. According to the outline presented, the Town Board
should adopt the final plan by March, 2008. Chmn. Mueller
requested two members of the Plan Commission work with him on
this plan. Stadler and Williams volunteered.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Christine Luft spoke on
road access to Hwy H and speed limits. She advised Plan
Commission to contact the County Highway Dept. regarding
driveways and that they need to be 300 feet apart. She also
asked the Commission to create a Historic District for downtown

STEVEN SLESARIK, FOREVER RAFTER, PRESENT
PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR POSSIBLE PURCHASE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE
HIDDEN LAKE STABLES PARCELS OWNED BY DAVID & JUANITA WINTER,
N7118 HWY E, SECTION 5. FOUR PARCELS TOTAL 99+ ACRES, ZONING IS
A-2 AND C-1: Steve Slesarik presented a plan which would create seven 5+acre lots in the NE
section of property. All lots would be a part of the Hidden Lake
Association; building sites would be clustered to create as much
open space as possible. The existing home would be sectioned off
and sold with 5 acres. Access to lots would be via a road as
shown on the preliminary plan. Slesarik said he would work with
the Town, Ozaukee County and the DNR to create a facility that
preserves nature, provides limited number of homes, improves an
existing business in the township and increases the tax base
with minimal cost to the township. He also plans to upgrade the
existing buildings and add an indoor arena, stables and tack
room. He intends to enter into an agreement with the DNR to
preserve Bee Keepers Bog and the surrounding area. Response by
Chairman Mueller that this is considered a subdivision as it has
more than 5 lots. Janik states this plan meets the zoning
requirements of the A-2 district and the town’s current plan for
5 acre lots. Slesarik said the homes constructed on these
proposed lots would be "upper end". Williams also noted that
this area is zoned properly for this development. Stadler
questioned the number of horses, as the A-2 zoning only allows 1
horse per 2 ½ acres. Carolyn Macklem, a neighboring property
owner was present, and said they and other property owners in
this area feel their quality of life would be in jeopardy by
this type of development in their neighborhood. Joe Goehring
another property owner in the area said he would have to grant
an easement under the present plan and he is not willing to
comply. David Macklem also stated his concerns re: a cluster
development and an association which would take over the area
and dictate what can and can’t be done. Armstrong felt it was a
nice plan but it doesn’t follow our ten year plan. Janik stated
that the area is zoned properly for this type of development.
Williams felt it was a good plan. Lederer stated that he felt
this plan is a subdivision. All members agreed that the location
of the road is the biggest issue at this point; Slesarik should
revise the plan for further consideration.
PHIL LUNDMAN, W3631 FREDONIA-KOHLER RD., DBA
LUNDMAN DEVELOPMENT CORP.: PRESENT A CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE
POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF A 29+ ACRE PARCEL OWNED BY PNL
INVESTMENT LLC, IN SECTION 27, ACROSS THE ROAD FROM HIS HOME.
ZONING IS A-2: Phil Lundman presented a plan for 15 lots. He
stated he wants this property to remain in the Town of Fredonia
and not be annexed to the Village of Fredonia. The property is
zoned A-2 which requires 5 acre lots. Lundman stated he is not
in a big hurry to develop the property. Members advised Lundman
that this plan does not meet the current zoning.
DISCUSS WHETHER CEDAR VALLEY CHEESE WOULD
REQUIRE A ZONING CHANGE OR A CUP TO OPERATE (BUILD OR ADD-ON) A
RETAIL STORE/OFFICES AT THEIR CURRENT SITE, W3115 JAY ROAD,
ZONED M-2: No appearance by anyone from Cedar Valley Cheese.
Armstrong felt that a Conditional Use Permit would be required
in this instance. Mueller said he will ask a representative to
appear at the next meeting and a CUP could be drafted by then.
CONTINUE DISCUSSION ON REQUEST FROM LANCE
LEIDER TO ERECT A WINDTOWER ON HIS PARCEL IN SECTION 12, ON THE
EAST SIDE OF HWY 57 (WHERE THE COMMUNICATIONS TOWER IS LOCATED).
ZONING IS A-1; DISCUSS POSSIBLE ORDINANCE OR AMENDMENT TO
ADDRESS THIS ISSUE: Attorney William Aeschbacher of Ritger
Law Office appeared on behalf of Lance Leider. Mueller noted
that the Town’s attorney has not contacted him regarding whether
we should have a new ordinance, or revise the current ordinance
to include wind towers as a conditional use, possibly in the A-1
district. Attorney Aeschbacher presented a sample plan of a
Conditional Use Permit from the Town of Ashford. Aeschbacher
said he will draw up a CUP for the Plan Commission’s review and
discussion at the June meeting.

REVIEW LAND DIVISION AND REZONE REQUEST FROM
Paul Wegner, W3423 Willow Valley Rd. Home and outbuildings to be
divided off of the 54+ acre parcel with approximately 7 acres;

current zoning A-1/C-1: Paul Wegner appeared in person and
presented a new survey showing 330’frontage on Lot #2. He noted
that he met with the Village of Fredonia PC and they requested
that a 33’ road reservation be placed on the survey for the
possible, future extension of Fillmore Street. The other 33’
reservation could be done on the adjoining Lanser parcel at some
time in the future. Request is to rezone Lots # 1 and 2, to A-2;
the 35 acre parcel (Lot #3 and Outlot 1 combined) will remain
C-1 and A-1. A Public Hearing will be held next month on this
issue. MOTION Mueller to recommend the Town Board’s

Board’s approval at the May meeting; second Stadler; carried.

SECTION 16, ZONED A-1: John Hess appeared and displayed a
picture of the home. He is requesting that the home and barn be
split off with 5 acres. Comment by Stadler that this is not farm
consolidation, although Hess owns adjoining parcel as well.

agree with the split as requested. Hess was advised to get a CSM
and return to the May Plan Commission meeting.
DISCUSSION RE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR JCC
CAMP LODGE BUILDING FOR YEAR ROUND USE: Richard Gattoni Jr.,
representing the JCC, appeared and stated that there would be no
more than 80 people staying overnight in the proposed lodge, and
no permanent residents.
Lederer expressed concern that the actual
number of people and their names must be listed for emergency
purposes. Gattoni stated they will have an exact count on a

appeared and presented a revised plan showing less density - a

lot #’s 17 and 18. He indicated he wanted the development to be
completed in 1 1/2years. Town resident, Christine Luft,
mentioned her concerns re Hwy A/H access. Janik said the concern
is what is best for the Town at this time. Stadler doesn’t want
parcel split and has concern over water draining into the
Milwaukee River. Williams stated rural character is protected
with homes in a subdivision, rather than scattered all around.
Mueller indicated that the number of lots proposed is not
compatible with the Town’s present Long Range Plan.
JACK AKERS, REP. OF SECLUDED LAND CO.,

ON HIS PARCEL IN SECTION 12, EAST SIDE OF HWY 57 (WHERE
COMMUNICATIONS TOWER STANDS); ZONING IS A-1: Attorney Ed
Ritger appeared on behalf of Lance Leider and presented a map of
the proposed tower location. He indicated the tower would be
approximately 400 to 430 feet tall and is able to produce
electricity for 500 to 700 homes. The tower would be locally
owned and excess generated power would be sold to WE energies.
He indicated that only two turbines could be erected at the
present time as there is only one substation available to
distribute this power. Towers can only be erected east of Hwy 57
due to interference with air traffic from the West Bend Airport.
An ordinance will have to be drafted, or amended (possibly a
conditional use in the A-1 district), regarding the locating of
wind towers. Matter adjourned to May meeting.
FURTHER DISCUSSION RE: HIRING COMMERCIAL
BUILDING INSPECTOR. Lederer stated that small projects could
be handled by a commercial inspector, using square footage as a
fee, with no costs to the Town. Larger buildings would still
have to be handled by the State Inspector. Matter adjourned for
further information.

Allegiance. MEMBERS PRESENT: Richard Mueller, Tom
Armstrong, Brian Huiras, Chris Janik, Robert Lederer, Ronald

Williams. This meeting was held in compliance with the Open
Meeting law – copies of the agenda were posted in at least three

MINUTES of the Plan Comm. Meeting held on
February 3, 2005 were sent to the members in advance for review.
MOTION Janik, second Huiras, to approve minutes; carried.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Stacy Kannenberg, a
property owner on Cedar Valley, near Jay Rd., expressed concerns
about an assisted living home for the elderly, proposed for a
ranch home that is for sale on Jay Rd. Her concerns were that it
would not be strictly for the elderly, as the State is granting
a loan for this facility. She stated that since this would be a
State funded facility, the State could dictate who should reside
there, for example, people who were ordered to a half-way house
as part of their rehabilitation. She stated that she, along with
her neighbors, should have been notified of this proposed
purchase and its intended use. Chairman Mueller said he had
received a telephone call this afternoon advising him that the
Offer to Purchase has been withdrawn by the potential buyer,
Sally Fritsch. The zoning in this area is incorrect as it is
zoned A-1. Mueller stated that this zoning should have been
corrected in the 70’s. Other homes in the immediate area are
zoned as R-2. Christine Luft stated that the Land Use Plan was
not followed and should have been corrected. Mueller said that
any change in zoning must be corrected by a Public Hearing.
Cathy Stern felt that a committee should be appointed to correct
all the zoning errors. Lance Leider stated that the Ordinances
should be followed to the letter and that no exceptions should
be made. Other residents from this area, who were in attendance,
advised they do not want their small (residential use but A-1
zoned) lots rezoned to R-2 at this point in time.
DISCUSS REZONING 2 LOTS ON SE CORNER OF CEDAR
VALLEY AND JAY RD (W3465 AND 3485 JAY RD) FROM A-1 WHICH IS
PRIME AG, 35 ACRE MINIMUM TO R-2 WHICH IS RESIDENTIAL, MINIMUM 1
ACRE TO CORRECT THE MAP. ONE LOT IS 1.52 ACRES AND THE OTHER 2.5
ACRES AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED WHEN THE LONG RANGE PLAN
WAS ADOPTED; SEVERAL SURROUNDING LOTS WERE REZONED TO R-2 IN
1994: Stadler questions problems for future sales. Janik
states this has been in existence for some time and feels there
is no need to rezone until a situation arises. Lederer felt that
by rezoning, the property owner has more protection; if
properties are rezoned to R-2 this would eliminate the
possibility of the lots being used for agricultural purposes
(animals being raised in this area). The general thought of the
committee was to take no action on the matter at this time and
to deal with each error on an individual basis should a
controversy arise.
JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER REP TO PRESENT PLANS
FOR ADDITION TO CAMP PROPERTY OFF OF TRAILS END ROAD:
Richard S Gattoni, Jr. Associate Executive Director, was present
and presented plans for a 20 unit Lodge for overnight guests,
which would house up to 80 people maximum. Lederer asked if a
sprinkler system is being installed. Gattoni said it was not
needed as the building is below the square footage requirement
for this. Gattoni further stated that a supervisor will always
be present and know how many people are in the facility and
where they are located should an emergency arise. It is the
intent of the Camp to use this as a year round facility. Stadler
advised that a Conditional Use Permit is needed. The Committee
agreed. An application for a CUP was given to Gattoni. The

DISCUSSION REGARDING HIRING A COMMERCIAL
BUILDING INSPECTOR: Lederer advised that he spoke to Roger
Kison who has expressed an interest in the job if the Town
decides to hire a Commercial Inspector. Commercial buildings are
presently being inspected by the State. Janik felt there could
be a duplication of fees from both the State and Town. Mueller
said a fee schedule would be needed and he would research same.
Janik further noted that the State becomes involved when the
square footage reaches beyond the domain of the Commercial
Inspector. Matter adjourned to April meeting for further
research.
LAND DIVISION AND REZONE REQUEST PAUL AND
DIANE WEGNER, W3423 WILLOW VALLEY RD: Paul Wegner presented
revised preliminary plans for review. The parcel is 54.35 acres
and is presently zoned A-1. The PC members advised that the
proposed lots would have to be rezoned and a Public Hearing
would have to be held; the application for rezoning was given to
Wegner. The PC members gave preliminary approval to the proposed
plans and advised Wegner to contact the Village of Fredonia in
case they had objections and to avoid any unforeseen problems;
Wegner also needs to correct the proposed Lot # 2, so it has the
required 330 foot frontage. Matter adjourned for further review.
ADJOURN: MOTION Huiras, second Stadler to
adjourn; carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:52 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

FEBRUARY 3, 2005
A meeting of the Plan Commission of the Town
of Fredonia was held on Thursday, February 3, 2005 in the
Waubeka Firehouse meeting room with Chairman Mueller calling the
meeting to order at 7:30 p.m., and opening with the Pledge of
Allegiance. MEMBERS PRESENT: Richard Mueller, Tom
Armstrong, Brian Huiras, Chris Janik, Robert Lederer and Deputy
Clerk Margaret Rabuck. ABSENT: Ronald Stadler and Tom
Williams. This meeting was held in compliance with the Open
Meeting Law – copies of the agenda were posted in at least three
public places in the Town and e-mailed to the SOUNDER,
OZAUKEE PRESS AND THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL.
MINUTES of the Plan Comm. meeting held on
December 2, 2004 (no Jan. mtg. was held) were sent to the
members in advance for review. MOTION Armstrong, second
Huiras, to approve minutes; carried.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Christine Luft stated
we’re in 4th year of 10 year plan which expires in
2010. This plan should not be altered. Catherine Stern stated
that the 35 acre minimum for A-1 parcels is to preserve
agricultural lands and this should be followed according to
present plan. Dale Krier stated that other Towns welcome
development next to other developments. Mueller polled the PC
members regarding hearing the proposals from the representative
of Brookside Developers as to the development of the Huiras
parcel; members agreed to review the proposed plans.
ERIC PARLOW REPRESENTING BROOKSIDE
DEVELOPERS, 309 N. WATER ST. MILWAUKEE, APPEARED TO DISCUSS
POSSIBILITIES OF DEVELOPMENT ON HUIRAS PROPERTY LOCATED ON SOUTH
SIDE OF FREDONIA-KOHLER RD., EAST OF HWY I AND WEST OF CRYSTAL
SPRINGS DR. PARCEL IS 105 ACRES AND IS CURRENTLY ZONED A-1:
The first plan presented by Parlow was that of a conservation
subdivision with 50 to 60 lots, with high-end home sites and
views of the Milwaukee River. General consensus of the
membership, as well as the general public in attendance, was
that this was too much density for this parcel. Parlow then
agreed to amend original plan to slightly larger lots, with 3
acre parcels being the largest and 1 ¼ acres being the smallest,
for a total of 43 home sites, with lower areas being left open
and retention ponds being installed. Janik said they would
prefer 5 acre parcels to reduce home site totals to 21 rather
than 43. Parlow noted since property is close to Village of
Fredonia he would pursue annexation to Village. Christine Luft
said annexation to Village would cause problems on roadway
entrances and exits. Catherine Stern is concerned about the
environmental impact to Crystal Springs Subdivision. Parlow
stated there would be no serious impact. Armstrong advised that
the Village of Fredonia would likely hesitate to annex this
piece of property at the present time due to the fact that they
are presently working on the Wolf subdivision. Supr. Leider was
also concerned about the proposed number/density of lots.
Stemper asked if Brookside Developers were involved in cluster
development subdivisions. Parlow replied that they have done
cluster developments. Plan Commission members agreed that
development is inevitable, but they wish to consult with legal
counsel to ensure that all criteria is met prior to development.
Further, the current Long Range Plan has 6 years remaining, and
that plan only allows for approximately 13 new homes per year.
Mueller wondered if Parlow would be willing to develop only a
portion of the property at a time, but Parlow did not want to
consider that.
ADJOURN: MOTION Huiras, second Janik to
adjourn; carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:52 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Margaret A Rabuck
Deputy Clerk
