Staff said the CSM aligns with a previously approved infill development and recommended approval subject to a financial guarantee for curb installation and removal of an existing light pole in the entrance area. Commissioners then examined the certified survey map and pointed out a central easement that appears to run through the portion of the proposed Lot 2 where a driveway and building pad would normally be located and noted other easements that may involve O’Reilly’s Auto Parts and Walgreens.

Commissioner Kevin (last name not specified) argued the commission should not proceed unless the petitioner produced firm evidence that other easement holders had abandoned or were willing to amend easements so the proposed lots would be buildable. Staff said both proposed lots were owned by the petitioner and that the petitioner could negotiate easement amendments with affected leaseholders, but several commissioners said the commission should not place the city in the middle of private negotiations.

A motion to table the CSM until the petitioner returns with documentation showing how the easement issues will be resolved carried by voice vote.

City staff said the original group development approval dates to more than 20 years ago and the current petitioner, Schroedean Group LLC (represented by David Patzelt), proposes to reconfigure the approved units into duplex‑style (two‑unit) buildings with a 20‑foot separation to meet fire separation requirements. The building footprints would remain approximately in the same locations as the originally approved structures.

Patzelt said the developer has reached agreement with the condo association on outstanding items and will post a letter of credit guaranteeing completion of prior improvements, including reconditioning deteriorated pavement on a shared driveway. He said remaining legal issues in the condo documents will be resolved prior to start of construction and that construction would likely begin in spring or summer once replanning and condo doc updates are complete.

Commissioners asked whether prior developer obligations remain outstanding and whether association approval thresholds had been met. Staff and Patzelt said a 75 percent owner approval threshold applies for certain condominium document amendments and that the association had not yet held a vote; Patzelt said the association supports the plan (a letter from Jay Rasmussen was in the packet) and the formal vote will occur after city approvals.

The commission approved motions for the group development amendment and the condominium plat by voice vote. A separate land division request for a nearby two‑lot certified survey map was later tabled after commissioners raised unresolved easement issues (see separate article).","The planning commission approved an amendment to the Creekside Condominium group development to replace previously approved four‑unit buildings with two‑unit structures and approved a corresponding condominium plat; the developer said it will post a letter of credit to finish outstanding shared driveway and roadway work.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":79,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6296005,"Commission recommends approval for NMG Auto Sales LLC to add limited outdoor vehicle display at Hobbs Drive unit",281,76000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2518382-3b4c2d4e9e3a33b08af3827fd492a9f4&start=76&end=357","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2518382-3b4c2d4e9e3a33b08af3827fd492a9f4/thumbnail_76000.jpg","/articles/6296005/Delavan/Walworth-County/Wisconsin/Commission-recommends-approval-for-NMG-Auto-Sales-LLC-to-add-limited-outdoor-vehicle-display-at-Hobbs-Drive-unit","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6296005-986ffccc784bf5f7230f49c72e589c29/orig.mp4?Expires=1775344992&Signature=JrkOIxo~jceWfG1kMg5lgN8fIzKxGzuqKhIV-O7EyTWcx6o4jDt~OkivVNpGYAgyP8ktQlXWirfkVVsiyUh34qP671i~otnm90z1XB746-wwGRafcOi3qQxGVkjrIKiQxg4tL9R~9mAqO10-ABFatYZfs4w5JV~SZeeP1vPpmPsC4PUyuDg4O6h7naZJ~9HUufcntwEWwtMaZ72eTfWpDF6Y0cnHeRSSF5WzM6Bqzf5vEf4auh~aSw2LqDWKdZGs6wWVEy2dUUba2SaxIRLsvqrvhgldp9k3Fq67CpUA3Yx-d33zx4sYBE4Rhu2W-LQhCHiVfC~x4MqcCB2TtvMw7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Commission voted to recommend City Council approve a conditional use amendment to permit NMG Auto Sales LLC to conduct automotive sales at 1830 Hobbs Drive, Unit H, including a limited outdoor display of vehicles.

Staff said the applicant, Noel Vargas, would conduct sales primarily inside the building and requested permission for a maximum of four vehicles to be displayed outdoors. Staff noted parking has been the primary issue in past similar requests and said other tenants in adjacent units had been granted four or five stalls for similar uses.

Noel Vargas spoke at the hearing and confirmed he sought permission for a maximum of four cars and that sales would be carried out inside the unit. No members of the public spoke in favor or opposition.

A commissioner moved to recommend council approval of the conditional use and the limited outdoor display, subject to the findings and conditions in the staff report.

The motion authorizes the routing of three‑phase electrical cable through the eastern portion of the public parking lot at 105 S. Second Street and the eastern portion of the municipal building parking lot at 123 S. Second Street, subject to standard easement language and restoration of surfaces to preexisting condition.

City staff explained the work would place the electrical circuits underground while leaving poles in place to carry telephone and cable lines. Mark, city staff, said Alliant will remove the top portion of poles as the three‑phase conductors are taken underground; remaining pole sections will continue to support the other utilities until those operators relocate. Alliant remains responsible for resurfacing and restoration under standard easement terms.

Commissioners asked who owns the poles; an Alliant representative (or staff) said poles are Alliant property and other utilities lease space on the poles. Commissioners also confirmed that some poles carry street lights and that pole removal will be phased as other carriers relocate to underground service.

A motion recommending council approval carried by voice vote.

The commission’s recommendation, moved by Commissioner Kevin (last name not specified) and seconded by another commissioner, accepted staff findings and imposed conditions including a required secondary emergency access at the east end of the development, minimum 30‑foot driveways, widened private streets to allow parking on one side, and clarification that routine city inspections would apply only to rental units rather than to owner‑occupied single‑family homes.

Staff said the project proposes 37 single‑family lots at a density of about 2.28 dwelling units per acre and a landscape surface area of about 64 percent. The developer asked for several zoning flexibilities — longer dead‑end streets, smaller lot widths and reduced setbacks — to match prior Harbor Club phases. Staff recommended, and the commission accepted, conditions intended to protect lake water quality and public safety.

Jackie, city staff presenting the case, told the commission the site would take access from North Shore Drive and that North Shore and Highway 50 have both been upgraded recently and can accommodate the expected traffic. Jackie also said staff sought a secondary emergency access connecting the east edge of the neighborhood to the resort road network and recommended a condition to require stormwater controls rather than a waiver; the public works committee had denied a stormwater waiver.

Developer representatives said the proposal includes rain‑gardens and detention to treat runoff before it reaches Lake Delavan and that soils and archeological work have been completed or are planned. Dave Sequeira, chief operating officer of Lake Lawn Resort, said the resort and developer view the plan as an enhancement that replaces portions of turf golf course immediately adjacent to the lake with a 75‑foot restored environmental corridor planted with native species.

Public commenters raised concerns about visual impact, lake health and construction traffic. Commission members pressed the developer for details on grading, stormwater design and the mechanism to ensure easement and access issues are resolved in later steps.

On flexibilities, staff noted one proposed lot may not meet the city’s 100‑foot setback measured from the North Shore Drive center line; the applicant asked for relief on that single lot. The commission approved the GDP recommendation with that single‑lot flexibility included and with the requirement that final dimensions and any widened private street be finalized during the subsequent plan and improvement permit (PIP) stage.

The commission also accepted staff’s suggestion to require driveways at least 30 feet deep and to widen the private street enough to allow parking on one side; final pavement and parking widths are to be determined at PIP. The developer agreed to work with staff on language clarifying that semiannual or annual fire inspections and city inspections would apply only to units operated as rentals and not to owner‑occupied single‑family homes.

The commission also discussed the developer’s request to extend the GDP approval period to 10 years rather than the city’s standard five years. Commissioners expressed a preference for five years but included the applicant’s 10‑year request in the recommendation; the final duration will be decided by the council.

The recommendation passed by voice vote. Next steps for the applicant include submitting detailed PIP documents showing stormwater designs, finalized roadway and lot dimensions, the required emergency access design, and any additional materials the city requires before construction permits can be issued.","The planning commission voted to recommend City Council approval of a planned infill development amendment from Harbor Club at Lake Lawn LLC for 37 single‑family homes, imposing conditions on emergency access, stormwater, driveways and use of the environmental corridor.","actionData","errors"]
