Commission approves PUD, zoning, site plan and CSM for Stratford Road duplex/single‑family development
Summary
The plan commission approved a package of actions to change land use and zoning, add a planned‑unit development overlay, endorse a site plan and accept a certified survey map to allow three duplex buildings and four single‑family lots on Stratford Road north of Highmount Road by Lang Urban Sustainable Homes.
The West Bend Plan Commission approved a coordinated set of actions that allow a planned‑unit development on the west side of Stratford Road, roughly 450 feet north of Highmount Road, enabling three duplex buildings (six units) on a consolidated lot and four single‑family lots to the north.
The commission approved (1) a comprehensive plan amendment changing the recommended 2020 land use from single‑family to two‑family residential for approximately 0.16 acres; (2) a zoning change from RS4 (single‑family) to RD2 (two‑family) for about 0.2 acres; (3) a planned‑unit development (PUD) overlay to allow design flexibility and shared amenities; (4) site‑plan approval for the duplex and single‑family homes; and (5) a one‑lot certified survey map that combines four existing lots into the duplex lot. Staff recommended approval of all items and commissioners voted in favor of each motion.
Jim (city planning staff) described technical items: the development will require a water main extension from Jackson Street and Highmount, relocation of storm sewers along common lot lines, and that the developer will be responsible for storm‑sewer relocation. He said building separations, setbacks and parking meet code standards and that architectural samples show LP siding and asphalt shingles.
Resident Linda Smeaton spoke in support and raised questions about grading and tree removal; planner and the developer’s engineer responded that one larger tree will be removed but they will try to preserve the tree line and minimize grading.
Commissioners asked about potential impacts to neighboring properties and confirmed that property owners within 200 feet had been notified. Staff explained the CSM will consolidate the four southern lots into a single lot for the duplexes; the site plan and PUD provide shared driveway access and design flexibility.
All approvals were carried by voice vote. The approvals authorize the zoning and site‑plan framework; the applicant must complete construction‑level grading, stormwater and utility work and obtain permits before building.
