City planning staff said Section 13.21 allows two wall signs maximum (one per street frontage) and outlined the applicant’s prior approvals of two compliant signs totaling 93 square feet. The applicant requested a 30-square-foot aluminum sign on an additional frontage and a small door decal; staff noted the decal would not count against the maximum if it is under 20% of the door/window area, and argued the aluminum sign reads as decorative rather than an advertisement.

During discussion one commissioner offered a caveat that the heart-shaped aluminum sign not include the business name; commissioners accepted that caveat and moved to approve. Staff said the proposed signs are not illuminated and recommended approval without additional conditions beyond normal permitting.

The commission voted in favor of the sign plan. The approval allows the additional decorative aluminum sign and the small door decal provided the door decal complies with the 20% rule and the heart sign does not display the business name as discussed.

Why it matters: the decision clarifies how the sign code is applied for decorative signage on multi-frontage small businesses and sets a content-related condition tied to visual character rather than size alone.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","5-28-25 - Plan Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Commission approved an expanded sign plan for Temptations that includes an additional aluminum decorative sign and a door decal, noting compliance issues and imposing a content-related caveat on the heart-shaped sign.","taxTitle","West Allis, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin","taxId",5509,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6218029,"Plan commission allows temporary signs for Saint Barnabas consolidation, sets removal upon final consolidation",391,2153000,2544000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3632784-95fe1e1be566b2135dc8ba28b3210f8d&start=2153&end=2544","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3632784-95fe1e1be566b2135dc8ba28b3210f8d/thumbnail_2153000.jpg","/articles/6218029/West-Allis/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Plan-commission-allows-temporary-signs-for-Saint-Barnabas-consolidation-sets-removal-upon-final-consolidation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6218029-2c05736238023206c306164c0b7163fd/orig.mp4?Expires=1777268856&Signature=KbFaoE7enu7yQdjMPpbffBLVWjO7-ojtP4C1iwNaIc9MBjyglEjPuJI79dq1e1p0xJ3d2FSWPCY40ksGRiRn8BuGiFk4M5JKqWQPfKhHDQDMEOoms5G7okpIosMR4wYlBJWYxe-5~PcyIyRL-tHojE3LpNjFDSlc2bFV68ytVBMN4oXy7-vKOLIkUxfv~JcDuzBNpQ0CSa38a55TOlmgFhKhHo3e3QtZNlMCQaNZ4xmOhKTumkduP2RKTPVGt8oZCmJ0nmZTHz8dxo~kmJpbCqFENCPZhWgxMHZMWA7X47l~kq7x4uw0JSKMnxprI0xmHVmna0lrttTvZolJevDrbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Plan Commission recommended approval of temporary and monument signage for Saint Barnabas’ location as the parish consolidates three former sites, subject to removal once full consolidation occurs.

City planning staff told commissioners the parish is consolidating Saint Augustine, Saint Rita’s and Holy Assumption and that two of the three properties require sign-plan appeals because the parish expects the temporary signs to remain longer than the sign code’s 30-day limit. Staff recommended approval of the signage plan with the condition that all temporary signage be removed upon full consolidation.

Ben Crockman of Innovative Signs, representing Saint Barnabas, told the commission the consolidation process is under way but the parish does not have a definite timeline; he estimated the process could take about a year. He also described the proposed material for the temporary sign as Dibond, a general-purpose aluminum composite material he said would last several years though the parish expects the sign to be removed after consolidation.

Commissioners discussed whether the commission should set a specific maximum duration; the commission ultimately moved and seconded a recommendation that would allow an extended temporary period and require sign removal when consolidation is complete. The motion passed with one abstention.

Why it matters: the decision allows Saint Barnabas to advertise consolidated services while preserving the commission’s ability to require removal after the parish finalizes property sales and consolidation.","Commission approved temporary signage at two parish sites tied to the consolidation of Saint Augustine, Saint Rita’s and Holy Assumption into Saint Barnabas, giving the commission discretion to extend the usual 30-day temporary-sign limit and placing a removal condition upon consolidation.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6218035,"Plan Commission backs Prestige Interior Contracts' neighborhood-service use with conditions on fencing and pavement",378,1214000,1592000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3632784-95fe1e1be566b2135dc8ba28b3210f8d&start=1214&end=1592","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3632784-95fe1e1be566b2135dc8ba28b3210f8d/thumbnail_1214000.jpg","/articles/6218035/West-Allis/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Plan-Commission-backs-Prestige-Interior-Contracts-neighborhood-service-use-with-conditions-on-fencing-and-pavement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6218035-e4878a768e1d09dc7fe77398a911d6d1/orig.mp4?Expires=1777268856&Signature=c4A-9ok0DEq19e-imoTqCHYxJP0-Vw4TMmVfnr6MtOiyuJZgZ8okt6uLge6ZxYfYYDp0KCHXaDDJ-xBCLpiBpsBPHIDTr10cPkZ~Bxe6W5lydQ9~8kwrACHhoOv1tmEg-1nyuSkDvGIC9G~X2VS6HwJkQabX2BKUkQ7n2Ph0s344DEBsx9SpIw-NpUagdRMBiGuDfDeef3o1XeepZgo5R66HnSiIYs3dp5crtuvV6qfDfhuDiR9oB8~fe2jqVM18MPRsji~Wsrc7Qp0oZfzYsLAS1Sze8yAkWYf~68Kp7nozp3vk-lALzLEndGzWbRsBzOCPXwGEteUAsqCcJWdmjQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The plan commission recommended approval for Prestige Interior Contracts to occupy a multi-parcel site near the State Fair as a neighborhood service use, with conditions on fencing, landscape and pavement improvements.

City planning staff described the proposal as an expansion by an existing West Allis business to use three properties currently zoned C-2 for construction storage, a small office and outdoor storage of vehicles and trailers. Staff said the applicant plans 12 full-time employees, outdoor storage of about four trailers and 12–15 box trucks, and hours of operation from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday–Friday.

Staff noted there would be no structural exterior changes aside from painting and minor roof/garage repairs to an occupied duplex on the site. Because the property is in the C-2 Commercial Zoning District, staff said the plan commission could exercise discretion on fence type; the applicant requested a black vinyl-coated chain-link fence in the rear for durability and a decorative wood-facing fence along 80th Street. Staff recommended submission of an updated site plan showing closure of one driveway on 80th Street, fence materials and height, a detailed landscaping plan with species, the scope of asphalt repair, refuse-container locations and any lighting updates before occupancy permits are issued.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the front landscaping and pavement condition; staff and the applicant said they would address pavement repair or replacement to meet code enforcement requirements. The commission voted to recommend approval subject to the listed conditions.

Why it matters: approval allows a growing local construction-services business to consolidate operations while requiring site improvements intended to address visual character, access and maintenance concerns in the neighborhood.","Commission recommended approval for Prestige Interior Contracts to occupy a commercial site near State Fair as a neighborhood service operation, subject to updated site plans showing driveway closure, fencing details, landscaping species, asphalt repair scope and refuse locations.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6218039,"Plan commission approves NNS Towing move to 11139 Beecher with conditions on fencing, hours and storage",710,404000,1114000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3632784-95fe1e1be566b2135dc8ba28b3210f8d&start=404&end=1114","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3632784-95fe1e1be566b2135dc8ba28b3210f8d/thumbnail_404000.jpg","/articles/6218039/West-Allis/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Plan-commission-approves-NNS-Towing-move-to-11139-Beecher-with-conditions-on-fencing-hours-and-storage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6218039-3999d116c1e0d6e6a62c895803e12c5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1777268856&Signature=XU2blP10lao6Oam9Y0dbbVzy0hzaZWF-V3xRgcXmIGXMRauKxMGQHao8z3beDBaPfLeFOPNC3PjYVynmaiD5qXdzMCIeJxt4x8PXk65CPSu8uG3p5ki38KpHFz-guOKABzEKxoHutOwPMcpmyn9J8RdTqX1j0m80LgxLbSOU6G3LDVb9YPiGSTSCe2SStNUf-pz49f48OAv45bndhF~DZaUzjSr-BcsSHERkLSF0rR14eASan6BxdDHa6mcKryyBRVJXFUh16yXr19G1gjTrA~oGutNz6P-4IDBl~kXzzKbLQ8st8pyqiUpHSgFeOwXD4phqaeL2RZqPOCI8zcUG~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The West Allis Plan Commission recommended approval of a conditional-use request allowing NNS Towing to relocate operations to a 2.5-acre truck-service property at 11139 Beecher Street.

City planning staff said the site includes a 19,000-square-foot building, two access points on Beecher and existing landscaping that meets the 20% requirement. \"It's not going to be a salvage yard. It's intended to be a temporary storage location,\" staff said, and described hours for customer vehicle pickup as Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–5 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m.–3 p.m.; the repair shop would be closed Saturdays and Sundays.

Owner Charlie, representing NNS Towing, told the commission the move would remove tow trucks from neighborhood streets and place most vehicles inside the building. In response to a commissioner question about vehicles not recovered, Charlie said state law requires sending notice and, if unclaimed after the statutory period, the vehicle may be disposed of; he added the company uses an alternate storage facility when long-term storage is required.

Staff recommended conditions including new perimeter fencing, identification of refuse-container locations, pavement repairs and striping between Beecher Street and the building, and notation on the site plan that commercial vehicles will not be staged on public streets. The staff presentation described a proposed 6–8-foot chain-link fence (no barbed wire) with vinyl coating on rear fencing and a decorative wood fence facing Beecher; this fencing will enclose tow staging at the rear and vehicle storage along the east property line.

Commissioners moved and seconded the recommendation; the commission voted to approve the conditional use permit and related site-plan items and noted the item will proceed to Common Council on June 10 for final action.

Why it matters: the relocation aims to remove tow-truck storage from public streets and formalizes site controls (fencing, pavement repair, hours) intended to limit neighborhood impacts.","Commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit for NNS Towing to occupy a 2.5-acre site at 11139 Beecher, with conditions including on-site storage, updated fencing, pavement repairs, and adherence to state law on unclaimed vehicles.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6218044,"West Allis planning panel approves demolition of Saint Aloysius campus, demolition to include asbestos abatement",328,47000,375000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3632784-95fe1e1be566b2135dc8ba28b3210f8d&start=47&end=375","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3632784-95fe1e1be566b2135dc8ba28b3210f8d/thumbnail_47000.jpg","/articles/6218044/West-Allis/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/West-Allis-planning-panel-approves-demolition-of-Saint-Aloysius-campus-demolition-to-include-asbestos-abatement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6218044-711cc50dbe73e330688317d219c2d3d9/orig.mp4?Expires=1777268856&Signature=kwE48PoEz~pLVVYt35Q5nk6oewyzgJr-HJVwMXG6cOrLmuyPd9rHsUiIZiJrLepKaBNbFy3e7JdFWzYjy4IejDYI8DAzijVs~Dml30Cm1mQ8OJtsqfkAuA1DbZPKka0y0W4HyGd5GlpDqV4XbludU-DW3t-dZOXGGwg-fIyt~olYzihfEJGyNLyzBZT5PcSYcQg0b4B1QOGwdpN2A3JLN~NRou-0S18a~8lmk2jSMlS-7g2KnNJ9A~VAa0UTfrffYaJrgqJGImlSUHa7qfo~s8CZ-ExDs71s2WID-vVKPRpC6m3ICpL1SZpOwkdiSTN8sPodWkczDiAUQFPZO1l1Xg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","West Allis Plan Commission approved demolition permits for the former Saint Aloysius campus and endorsed the developer’s proposed scope of work, city planning staff said.

City planning staff told the commission that developer F Street, working with the Community Development Authority (CDA) and City of West Allis, will demolish the church, rectory, gymnasium and school buildings and remove foundations and slabs. \"The cost of demolition is about, you know, a million dollars,\" the staff member said, noting that the work will include asbestos and lead abatement and rodent control measures.

The approval covers demolition only; staff said F Street expects to return to the plan commission next month with site, landscape and architectural plans for the first phase of redevelopment. Staff described a future development concept that could reach up to about 160 housing units, with denser apartments along Greenfield Avenue and garden-style apartments farther south, but emphasized that the current vote was limited to demolition permits and erosion control.

Staff noted environmental safeguards already under way, including asbestos abatement, lead abatement and baiting for rodents. The presenter also said chimneys were left in place through late winter and early spring to avoid disrupting migrating chimney swifts.

Commission discussion was procedural; a motion and second were made and the commission voted to approve the demolition scope as recommended by staff. No member requested changes to the demolition conditions during the hearing.

Next steps: the developer will obtain the demolition permits identified by staff (one permit for the rectory and church, a second for the gymnasium and school, and a soil erosion permit for the campus) and return with the site and architectural plan for formal review. Staff said Gonzaga Village senior apartments, a separate lot, will not be demolished and will remain in place as the new development is planned around it.

Why it matters: the action clears the physical site for redevelopment and begins formal environmental remediation steps; the commission’s vote did not approve any housing plan or entitlements beyond demolition.","The West Allis Plan Commission approved demolition permits for the former Saint Aloysius church, school and gymnasium, with staff noting asbestos and lead abatement, rodent control and plans for future redevelopment by developer F Street.","actionData","errors"]
