Planning commission approves MP Systems site-plan shift after DNR allows filling of an exempt wetland
Summary
The commission approved a site-plan amendment to move a proposed 130,000-square-foot industrial building about 50 feet west after a Department of Natural Resources letter allowed filling an exempt wetland, removing the need for retaining walls and added stormwater pipe.
The East Troy Planning Commission approved a site-plan amendment for MP Systems Inc. to shift a proposed approximately 130,000-square-foot industrial building roughly 50 feet west after the Department of Natural Resources provided a letter allowing the fill of an exempt wetland.
Planning staff said the original approval included preserving about a 2,900-square-foot wetland on the property. With the DNR letter, the applicant will fill the second exempt wetland and no longer needs retaining walls or to enclose the east-end ditch with stormwater pipe, staff said.
An applicant representative described the wetland as low quality and said the change improved the development layout: “We never wanted to preserve the wetland. It's not a really good quality wetland either. There's, like, some junk and some batteries. I think there's a car in there,” the applicant representative said.
Staff said all other conditions of approval remain in place, adjusted to reference the revised plans in the meeting packet. The commission moved to approve the site-plan request for MP Systems Inc. for the property on South Executive Drive subject to conditions 1–23; the motion carried.
The approved amendment shifts the building location and removes certain previously required retaining-wall and stormwater-pipe elements because of the DNR determination. The conditions listed in the planning packet remain the controlling requirements for construction and permitting.
