Planning staff presented proposed text to add at the end of the existing access standards (cited as Section 5-10-91). The provision would permit the commission to approve extra access points where the commission finds they are warranted given the context of a particular property. The draft text explicitly retains that access approvals require review by the Director of Public Works so applicants must still address jurisdictional or county/state roadway approval where applicable.

Commissioners discussed whether traffic control measures (stop signs, turn lanes) should be explicitly required in the text; staff replied that the Director of Public Works review provides the opportunity to require traffic control or refer issues to the appropriate village committee.

The commission voted to send the language to ordinance form and schedule a public hearing for April. The motion carried on a voice vote; individual roll-call votes were not recorded.

Next steps: staff will prepare ordinance language and materials for the April meeting and publish the required notice for a public hearing. The Director of Public Works will remain the point of contact for jurisdictional questions and traffic-control recommendations.

Ending: commissioners said the change is intended to give flexibility for institutional and industrial properties that may need more than two access points, while preserving public works review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Plan Commission Meeting 3/10/25","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved language allowing the Plan Commission, on petition and for good cause, to permit additional access points for nonresidential properties beyond current limits; the commission directed staff to prepare an ordinance and schedule a public hearing.","taxTitle","East Troy, Walworth County, Wisconsin","taxId",54225,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":44,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6286253,"Plan Commission directs staff to post public hearing on adding two-family residential land-use category",631,891000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2563427-3e2823c9b7bab211deb43b98ce43b949&start=891&end=1522","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2563427-3e2823c9b7bab211deb43b98ce43b949/thumbnail_891000.jpg","/articles/6286253/East-Troy/Walworth-County/Wisconsin/Plan-Commission-directs-staff-to-post-public-hearing-on-adding-two-family-residential-land-use-category","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6286253-1a989677cf7651b5059eff285372d07a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771010472&Signature=lDGNgZkp5k~TjlTSXvU~a~P11hszdiOCstT-akxv-7~ncGWlMHdQgMURHaGJpxil5-0VpHGfN7qFtQmcNOuqxyAOLqfmeboV-4PKaA-tySINDmvCbhRPc-pVrAP00J7FGYohbjGEP-BRDRh--7FhSgld~FGJPi0Z3Do-mbUk~eiOz4efVuW~xHNS9j2XCDb5j2eXzIAoJYfyJ~O6U2XtB~9AKaCh1xnWJFvw-Yu4gC0tEjA2A975EhZQr1IDQLoLd6igqfznkaD33sYvN46LDcB-1S9HV8IfWRef33etDVGvVHiqYTsdsGegoTf0DonEu05puVsW8y3H06jGaNidZw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of East Troy Plan Commission on March 10 directed planning staff to prepare and post a Class 1 public hearing notice to amend the comprehensive plan map to add a combined single-family and two-family residential land-use category in areas in and around downtown.

Planning staff said the change responds to a mismatch between current zoning (TR-8, which allows single- and two-family) and existing comprehensive plan land-use labels that in many places list those parcels as single-family only. The proposed amendment would add cross-hatched shading on the map (derived from Map 5a in the comprehensive plan) to indicate where single- and two-family uses would be an accepted land use.

Warren, the planning staff member who presented mapping and analysis, said the mapping focused on parcels zoned TR-8 that the comp plan currently designates as single-family; the proposed map would better reflect areas where duplexes already exist. He noted the new category does not rezone parcels; property owners still must pursue rezoning or land-use amendments if their parcel is not currently zoned TR-8.

The commission voted to direct staff to return with a formal amendment and to post the 30-day class notice required for comprehensive plan amendments. Commissioners discussed producing an inset/better-scale map for downtown but also noted the proposed area extends beyond the downtown core and that a larger-scale map might miss some areas.

Next steps: staff will prepare a formal comprehensive plan amendment and schedule a public hearing, which will require 30 days’ notice under class-1 notification rules. The earliest hearing date may therefore be the Plan Commission meeting after the next one, depending on notification timing.

Ending: the amendment is intended to provide clearer direction to residents and applicants about where two-family development could be considered by right or via rezoning.","Following prior discussion, the Plan Commission voted to direct staff to prepare a formal amendment and post a Class 1 public hearing to add a single-family and two-family residential land-use category to the comprehensive plan map for areas around downtown East Troy.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_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},6286257,"Plan Commission approves site plan for 130,000-square-foot industrial building for MP Systems, contingent on permits",374,497000,871000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2563427-3e2823c9b7bab211deb43b98ce43b949&start=497&end=871","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2563427-3e2823c9b7bab211deb43b98ce43b949/thumbnail_497000.jpg","/articles/6286257/East-Troy/Walworth-County/Wisconsin/Plan-Commission-approves-site-plan-for-130000-square-foot-industrial-building-for-MP-Systems-contingent-on-permits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6286257-7dace9f211b8f4d27914ce8d60666f76/orig.mp4?Expires=1771010472&Signature=lc9BI1k5QQDRZQrjy-TehosCWl1OEgmR0EGm5r06zsxesWWLx65Do~eFhQ6OXwYVaUWAN6DR0fi-aDABfl1fgmflLteyPyUGqDyI66OV3hlng~VpA1y3d6yXiSUODxU-Bjvg1Dz8JleKYWWO8X60NjnYsfrm5ikVQOWIe31i1jkjRxfCpIccwIeda3RfjSIl3hfRaVKMt~Y3rsWT3ZdJDyln8xNLCEaFGvKQA-tQvKtXZtM0lgAnopcUBGZ304h0vJIQlpAZRxpecPJOEoljYK-7iSnWfFKRet6MfwwHxB3EebjDRA8DJOsSv2ks1dJmB7D9s4zle-dAgOZczUOfsg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of East Troy Plan Commission on March 10 approved the site plan and architectural review for a new industrial building for MP Systems Inc., approximately 130,000 square feet in size, subject to 23 conditions listed in staff materials.

The approval covers a light-assembly and storage building intended for prefabrication of panels, electrical conduit components and tooling packages. Planning staff said the building meets overlay zoning design standards, parking and lighting requirements; wall signage will require separate permit approval.

A key planning issue is wetlands on the parcel. Staff reported two wetlands exist on the site; one will be filled (under 10,000 square feet) using a general wetland permit through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and the applicant will seek a jurisdictional determination from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The application proposes to preserve a second wetland of just under 3,000 square feet at the southwest corner of the site.

Engineering staff raised comments the applicant must address, including relocating and centering the access driveway within a reserved future roadway to keep the driveway out of the building collapse zone and ensure compliance with fire access requirements; changing a proposed inverted driveway crown to a standard crown; and other customary engineering corrections.

Orin told the commission that conditions include obtaining necessary permits and approvals from state and federal agencies. The commission’s motion to approve the site plan subject to the 23 conditions carried on a voice vote; individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the transcript.

Next steps: applicant must obtain DNR and Army Corps approvals for wetland work and address engineering comments before permits will be issued. Several conditions require coordination with village engineering and planning staff during final design and permitting.

Ending: commissioners emphasized that driveway location and final engineering sign-off are conditions of approval and that eventual roadway construction could alter driveway alignment in the future.","The commission approved a site plan and architectural review for a new industrial building for MP Systems Inc., subject to 23 conditions including state and federal wetland permits and engineering comments about driveway alignment and fire access.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":102,"_47":103,"_49":104,"_51":105,"_53":106,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":107,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":108,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6286262,"Plan Commission recommends conditional use for outdoor storage at South Executive Drive for MP Systems",0,452000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2563427-3e2823c9b7bab211deb43b98ce43b949&start=452&end=452","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2563427-3e2823c9b7bab211deb43b98ce43b949/thumbnail_452000.jpg","/articles/6286262/East-Troy/Walworth-County/Wisconsin/Plan-Commission-recommends-conditional-use-for-outdoor-storage-at-South-Executive-Drive-for-MP-Systems","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6286262-94c07996c55fc86db08c68216fd782bc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771010472&Signature=RSaVI4xd5SE6pxKHbMIZIRAj0dNnKNfnOs8rlw9us-KjBb2xqBLw~~PXqg-i8jt9ePjNLfl-YL6o5TC5PEcI-Q8ykqvhUco3Sc2IDkqSd7~KZi9zhEKKwhO6acniz03WbrHxbrta3aRcj-gA3l~53-BZwv6UpdDWrMi9sBcB2pk0tkpMp8ZWnxA~3Qm6O-S9VxvjmW0GQk4z4Uxk4EZ-1fbQFudDu-Q4Wa99nRiqdCF2bPbIpD976k09-RVs47~p2Hfn4OKjrmkoccyyNCZu6IhI~kdbSHTiUaAFzxfZCH7b-6X1uv~DFKLMbfvK4tirmotv11FXgxUa6RMJDWZRzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of East Troy Plan Commission on March 10 voted to recommend that the Village Board approve a conditional use permit to allow outdoor storage and wholesaling associated with a proposed industrial building on South Executive Drive for MP Systems Inc.

The recommendation covers an outdoor storage area the applicant described as located on the east side of the parcel and separated from parking by cross-hatch striping. The petitioner proposes an 8-foot chain-link fence with opaque screening, supplemental landscaping, and a gated access point. The Plan Commission motion endorsed approval subject to the nine conditions listed in staff materials.

Why it matters: the storage area modifies existing drainage on the parcel. Commission staff and the applicant said the project will enclose an existing drainage swale in a buried pipe so the area can be used for storage. Commissioners pressed the applicant on pipe sizing and engineering review because undersizing could cause water to overtop storage or parking areas.

Orin, the planning staff member who presented the item, described the screening, landscaping and future roadway reservation adjacent to the site; he noted the parcel currently has a hedgerow to the east that provides some screening.

Chris Wenzler, agent for Bridal Building Corp., said engineering calculations were used to select a 36-inch diameter pipe and that the applicant had discussed sizing with engineering staff. “That’s how we ended up kind of honing in on that 36 diameter pipe,” Wenzler said; he added final sizing will be presented to engineering staff for approval.

The Plan Commission closed the public hearing, moved to recommend approval and carried the motion on a voice vote. Individual vote tallies were not recorded in the meeting minutes.

Next steps: the recommendation goes to the Village Board for final action. Staff memo and the Plan Commission conditions require the applicant to provide final engineering calculations and meet any engineering or public works requirements before permits are issued.

Ending: commissioners and the applicant said they appreciate business growth in East Troy and emphasized engineering review and landscaping will be required to address visibility and drainage concerns.","The Village of East Troy Plan Commission voted to recommend the Village Board approve a conditional use for outdoor storage and wholesaling tied to a new industrial building for MP Systems Inc., subject to nine conditions and engineering review of a buried drainage pipe.","actionData","errors"]
