Staff explained the applicants seek to combine two commercial parcels into one so a multi‑tenant building can be modified for a future restaurant. Proposed exterior changes include removal of an existing canopy, a new flat‑front vestibule, replacement of windows, painting of north and east facades and new landscaping. The applicant also proposes to repave and restripe the rear parking area, remove five light poles along the west lot line and relocate the dumpster to the rear; staff required final landscaping and four‑sided dumpster elevations, and a notation that the parking lot will be resurfaced and restriped before permits are issued.

The prospective operator described expected customer volumes and seating. The applicant (identified in the hearing as Apostoli) said the new location will increase seating by roughly 30% and estimated the site could serve up to about 700–750 guests across a full shift, with seating near 202 for the main dining room and an 80‑seat banquet area phased in later: “we are doing anywhere between 200 to 550 covers a day, at our current location. … It will be slightly bigger, by about, 35%, 30% in seating, so I would expect about, you know, 7 750 being the maximum of this is guests throughout the entire shift,” Apostoli said.

Commissioners and staff noted the rear parking lot will be resurfaced and restriped and asked that the applicant submit final plans showing parking striping, landscaping species and quantities, dumpster enclosure materials, and all four elevations of the building prior to permit issuance. The motion approved the site and architectural plans with a set of specific conditions and required that the combined certified survey map be recorded with the Milwaukee County Register of Deeds before permit applications are submitted.

With those conditions, commissioners voted to approve the site and architectural plans. The approvals do not authorize any construction permits until the revised plans and the recorded CSM required by the commission are submitted and verified by community development staff.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Plan Commission May 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Plan Commission recommended approval of a certified survey map and approved site and architectural modifications for the properties at 7228 and 7236 South 20th Street to allow a future restaurant (Mimosa), subject to conditions including revised landscaping, dumpster enclosure details and resurfacing.","taxTitle","Oak Creek, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin","taxId",66971,"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},6215505,"Neighbors press developer over unfinished roads and access as Plan Commission holds Colonial Woods proposal",3505,247000,3752000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3658886-1e4bb548724bc9e3d686438a1c5502ae&start=247&end=3752","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3658886-1e4bb548724bc9e3d686438a1c5502ae/thumbnail_247000.jpg","/articles/6215505/Oak-Creek/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Neighbors-press-developer-over-unfinished-roads-and-access-as-Plan-Commission-holds-Colonial-Woods-proposal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6215505-351b3ecddcaee33866a2f9862279e56b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161043&Signature=ErB6ViVBes0jb4h3GqjIcD3DP5guBwDmZX8aHx9ckjhYmZb7lhc6I6ox1aruB1VpAsMSuePN8pRHtO65VWHdM1ZHvAxay3TAhcx-5nyZlVmS-1F1GNS8huXiV0lZxtTU4bUKZLel~Z4~7zG~2wnuXSTHSOmFuFfoytmtpkaovbit41F6eOK1WFjuI08UuybmemRq6bUW7SQ-ii6gtMVBPcPhZvivgGnjfvT8SJHhMPjlwbEKtCqY3OL13byl4xAvh3WwDo2FLM5OSoGfV2rTfipoLzJlHrMvIEAa3l-hM66hLA~cv-Q-XtmPirewK59CAX4po8ur-EWydVedsVZbgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oak Creek Plan Commission on May 27 put on hold a site-plan application for a 16‑unit multifamily building in the Colonial Woods development after lengthy public comment about private roads, unfinished infrastructure and poor communication by the property owner, HomePath Financial Partnerships.

The applicant is proposing one of three remaining 16‑unit buildings on a previously approved RM‑1/PUD site. The developer’s representative and contractor, Mike Dufek, told the commission the project drawings largely match previously approved plans and that the applicant has switched from renting units to selling them as condominiums: “HomePath wanted to comply and said, Yes, we'll move the project to condos instead of rental units,” Dufek said.

Several Colonial Woods residents urged the commission to require a signed agreement before the commission advances the project. Amy Peterselli, who said she represents the Colonial Woods Condominium Association, requested that approval be “contingent on coming to some sort of signed agreement regarding their responsibilities for construction debris, repair of roads due to increased usage, and then also holding them accountable to the landscaping.” Other residents described prior failures to complete landscaping and road surfacing, said HomePath has been difficult to reach and asked the city to require an easement or other formal agreement covering construction impacts and long‑term access.

City staff described a complex ownership and development history, saying earlier development agreements and bonds may have applied but that the private status of the neighborhood’s roads affects how the city enforces improvements. A staff member said the city would need to review past development agreements and any bond that may remain in place.

After public comment and questions from commissioners about outstanding infrastructure and the absence of an owner representative, Commissioner Seifert moved to hold the item; the motion to postpone consideration until June 24 was approved by the commission. The action stores open the issues raised: outstanding road completion and whether future occupants will join the association and share responsibility for private‑road maintenance.

The meeting record shows the applicant has increased parking beyond code (30 underground spaces vs. a required 16 for the proposed building) and proposes mostly two‑bedroom units, some with dens, matching the architectural character of existing buildings. Multiple residents and commissioners requested that staff meet with HomePath and the association and produce documentation (easement or HOA agreement) before the matter returns to the commission.

The commission did not approve the site plan; it was postponed to allow time for staff to confirm the development history, any bonds or development agreements and for the applicant and homeowners association to produce written agreements addressing construction impacts and easement/access terms.","Plan Commission delayed action on a proposed 16‑unit multifamily building at Colonial Woods after residents raised unresolved road repairs, lack of communication with owner HomePath, and requests for an easement or agreement protecting the homeowners association.",{"_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},6215509,"Plan Commission approves temporary sign for Oak Creek Farmers Market",141,75000,216000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3658886-1e4bb548724bc9e3d686438a1c5502ae&start=75&end=216","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3658886-1e4bb548724bc9e3d686438a1c5502ae/thumbnail_75000.jpg","/articles/6215509/Oak-Creek/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Plan-Commission-approves-temporary-sign-for-Oak-Creek-Farmers-Market","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6215509-91f9583038b80a2d45f6b89d6538ef8b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161043&Signature=IilXCaakzErFDycp9HjFwrns01YjtcahUWASHj9h4hq5lFb6g0llvTNvtJ7noAteOhZKjcSyfFhQEjA3Hceev2bUNtZYrgwaamRRfHhtw9Ep8Iusw5ld0vIQbHCAr6366UnASugQlBVLSBkUtOKYk0NpInxDZcuPGUz6bmURZ-d3SjI14-t6xa2d2-QkbAa1BcZzf42Q8HIHomCo34etl93bWu02qVxC7lxdOq9KjkobUydJSJrhqvFUmV7p-3VScDFdp6UqQC2~oAjsJbp04oOHnhqPGUwhajV2yYZ5U18um6og4Ue-QQuT9GDISmTG1cjzw0R8E2WBtbX7Bb2GqA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oak Creek Plan Commission on May 27 approved a temporary ground sign permit allowing the Oak Creek Farmers Market to display a sign at 361 West Town Square Way through October.

The commission approved a permit for “one 72 inches by 48 inches by 94 inches temporary ground sign with one 1.5 foot by 6 foot attached hanging sign” to be installed in the location shown on the submitted site plan, with a minimum 10-foot setback from property lines and rights-of-way. The permit is valid through Oct. 25, 2025, and the sign must be removed by Oct. 28, 2025. The motion included a requirement that “all relevant code and DTSMUPDD requirements remain in effect.”

Todd, a city staff member presenting the request, said the sign is a routine annual request and that “it’s gonna be displayed through October, and it’s gonna look the same as it has the last 2 years.” The commission had no substantive questions before moving to vote.

The commission’s approval was made by motion and passed by roll call vote. The approval includes the conditions listed above and requires the sign be installed consistent with the approved site plan and city code.

The decision formalizes an annual temporary-sign arrangement for the market; any material changes to sign size, location or duration would require a new permit or amendment to this approval.

No further actions or appeals were announced at the meeting.","Oak Creek Plan Commission approved a temporary ground sign permit for the Oak Creek Farmers Market at 361 West Town Square Way, with conditions including location, size limits and permit expiration dates.","actionData","errors"]
