Joe O’Keefe of Opel Energy Group told commissioners the array is intended to offset a percentage of the facility’s electricity use.

Commissioners asked staff and the applicant to coordinate with building inspection on proper mounting and installation practices. A motion to approve the site and architectural plans, conditioned on continued compliance with relevant code requirements, passed on roll call.

Howell Ave.

Department of Community Development staff described the concept plan: two drive‑through lanes with two menu boards, a bypass lane required by code and landscaping and screening to be required at the subsequent site plan stage. Staff said proposed hours are 10:30 a.m.–10:30 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and 10:30 a.m.–11 p.m. Friday–Saturday. The applicant estimated about 400 customers per day with roughly 40% using the drive‑through, producing an estimated peak queue of 18 vehicles.

Eric Peterson of Keystone Planning and Design and the project civil engineer answered commissioner questions about screening and site circulation. Peterson said detailed landscaping and screening will be reviewed during the later site plan review if the CUP is approved. Commissioners noted the site has been vacant and that shared access agreements exist with the neighboring property; the applicant confirmed an access agreement is already in place with the north property owner and that the neighboring owner will abandon their separate Howell access in favor of the new entrance.

Commissioner Steve Bauch moved that the commission recommend Common Council approval of the conditional‑use permit after a public hearing and subject to conditions and restrictions; a second was recorded and the roll call recorded affirmative votes. The recommendation advances the item to the Common Council for public hearing and final action.","Plan commission recommended the common council approve a conditional‑use permit to allow a two‑lane drive‑through for a proposed Buena Beef and Rainbow Cone building; applicant estimates 400 customers per day and a maximum queue of 18 vehicles.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6106323,"Plan commission holds Colonial Woods 16‑unit proposal after homeowners object to rentals and unfinished work",3088,1067000,4155000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2782186-6c313288564d88e58bf7481c0659ce22&start=1067&end=4155","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2782186-6c313288564d88e58bf7481c0659ce22/thumbnail_1067000.jpg","/articles/6106323/Oak-Creek/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Plan-commission-holds-Colonial-Woods-16unit-proposal-after-homeowners-object-to-rentals-and-unfinished-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106323-9ac6d49f17cb882aa5de45dd06ed59aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1770980238&Signature=OjxHS3VjgPusGU1HspGOFA2MEGsmQeolztjQuEmyB1LmolNqleKdHSu2Cb7H8jAWzSkOTNp5rEYbOum4PY2HhhPivxpI749J0-4lNOVfittuLVe3nl902s2s-4ZU6Yzia1e4bmCSdKjAWd9Mnso7Qd8FcRvd16UXSJOWWNHxS9Q39axVMEXicxxisZ2h4f25nbAUJIgVmspbOQWTr7GFO9T4t2PJe2e2EfalnC-MqXWTO1D0GMavqNJAqglyMQeF6fu2mBHrhbEIKJgU9EyKBYAIJOrJ2fvvqB-VQZyfVrtjEKYiLC4bOzjrOzwwwUyxHxhHAMhulAM8sI-e4lNMcA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oak Creek Plan Commission voted to hold consideration of site and architectural plans for a proposed 16‑unit building in the Colonial Woods development until May 20, 2025, after extended public comment and questions about homeowner notification, private‑road maintenance and whether the units would be rentals rather than condominium units.

Department of Community Development staff member Todd presented the plan review, saying the proposal follows a plan unit development (PUD) and the building’s architecture matches prior approvals. Chris Hall, an architect for the applicant, and Sam Swan, the project construction manager, were present; HomePath Financial, the property owner listed on the application, did not appear.

Multiple residents and association representatives told the commission they learned of the project only when the agenda published the prior week. Amy Peterselli, attorney for the Colonial Woods Homeowners Association, told the commission, \"the board and the unit owners heard of this entire issue was last week,\" and asked that the item be tabled to allow negotiation with the owner. Several homeowners said HomePath had not responded to requests, that parts of the private cul‑de‑sac road remained unfinished and that the association’s declaration contains restrictions on rental percentage that they believe apply to the site.

Commissioners expressed concern about the lack of developer representation and the unresolved disputes between the HOA and the property owner. Commissioner Don said he could not support action without Hatch partner/owner responses; Commissioner Matt recommended a hold to give the parties time to consult with the city attorney and to provide the developer an opportunity to meet with stakeholders.

Commissioner Koskin moved to hold the item; Commissioner Steve Bauch seconded. The roll call recorded affirmative votes from Commissioner Buzakowski, Commissioner Oldani, Commissioner Stiefer, Commissioner Chandler and Chair Sullivan. The commission recorded the hold to May 20, 2025. The motion and discussion noted the application will return to the commission at that date unless the applicant withdraws or seeks another procedural path.

Commission staff said approval of a compliant site plan would allow the applicant to later apply for building permits, but the commission held the matter to let homeowners, the association and the property owner address outstanding legal and access questions.","Commissioners voted to hold review of a proposed 16‑unit multifamily building at Colonial Woods after homeowners and the HOA said they were not notified, raised concerns about converting planned condos into rentals, and cited unfinished road work; item rescheduled for May 20, 2025.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6106327,"Oak Creek plan panel approves sound‑absorbing barrier at MG Foods",983,60000,1043000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2782186-6c313288564d88e58bf7481c0659ce22&start=60&end=1043","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2782186-6c313288564d88e58bf7481c0659ce22/thumbnail_60000.jpg","/articles/6106327/Oak-Creek/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Oak-Creek-plan-panel-approves-soundabsorbing-barrier-at-MG-Foods","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106327-9593a9cebf2e5b679c1c4009ffd8e1f9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770980238&Signature=DorA9GSy1yPz5jFZrGBY5IV0A4ZULiuIYXo2q9RliUj1zAz5dHnTOpljg2Rf9wbnHf5W7B623Q6bRdkaPVwrjK8nSFOCtbzO-IaipY3UEBCGmXRrVALitH8j9mUIfYwmnlUPTnizKLGBClfvf~UcJeD4yzen0R6abeXLev9n2vmbWdfakEJ~AY2REQ~SpVgmaMio1HxOCT8P5AwJ8R2EYqRB-X7cy-TGvXSPEQysEr~14zi5iAWWO2ebSdRZg4vtQFrBNtFEk9TnTvKh0JaqCpvKvkr-T-GQwXjbUrZ1dWRM72Ed4zUnRKIaFA2~RRAMsdWrYD80VeYKdFvWqiUe1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Oak Creek Plan Commission voted to approve site and architectural plans for a 12‑foot sound‑absorbing barrier around chiller compressors at MG Foods, 10303 S. Oakview Parkway.

The item, presented by Department of Community Development staff member Todd, responded to complaints from neighbors west of the Oakview Industrial Park. The commission’s approval included two written conditions: that all relevant code requirements remain in effect and that revised plans be submitted in digital format for department review before permit applications are filed.

Todd said the wall would be steel‑faced, white in color, filled with fiberglass and fire resistant, and would enclose chillers on three sides. An applicant representative described the system’s expected performance as \"a 10 to 15 reduction in decibels,\" adding that \"your ear hears a perception of 8, a minus 8, as half of the original sound.\" He also told commissioners no formal decibel readings had been taken at neighboring property lines. Commissioner Josie asked whether measurements had been made at neighbor properties; the applicant representative replied, \"No. Not that I know of. We haven't taken any readings.\"

Neighbor Maria Milechko, 431 W. Oakwood Road, asked about the construction timeline; David Beaver, who identified himself as the applicant’s representative for record, said the applicant would submit engineering this week, material lead times are about 10–12 weeks and installation would take roughly two weeks once materials arrive.

During discussion commissioners said the barrier is a commonly used mitigation for outdoor chillers and likely to substantially reduce perceived low‑frequency noise. The motion to approve included a second by Commissioner Seifert; the roll call recorded affirmative votes from Commissioner Buzakowski, Commissioner Oldani, Commissioner Seifert, Commissioner Chandler and Chair Sullivan. The commission’s record names the approval as a site and architectural approval with the two conditions stated above.

The applicant may proceed to submit revised digital plans and then apply for building permits under the conditions of the approval.","Plan commission approved site and architectural plans for a 12‑foot sound‑absorbing wall around chillers at MG Foods, citing neighbor complaints; plans must meet code and be submitted digitally for permit review.","actionData","errors"]
