Plan commission approves site and architectural plans for 7605 S. Sixth St. industrial building
Summary
Commission approved site and architectural plans for a 60,710 sq. ft. industrial warehouse at 7605 South Sixth Street, with conditions including a cross-access agreement, final trash/recycling locations and a development agreement to address tree replacement.
The Oak Creek Plan Commission on March 11 approved site and architectural plans for a proposed 60,710-square-foot industrial warehouse at 7605 South Sixth Street, subject to conditions on cross-access, trash and recycling locations, screening for mechanicals and a development agreement to address required tree replacement.
Scott Lawson of Keller Inc. presented the plans and described a building footprint with roughly 71,000 square feet of paved area, 41 parking spaces, 16 trailer parking stalls, and a visually screened loading-dock area. Lawson said the building would be painted precast concrete panels in red and shades of gray, with windows, canopies, and a parapet roof. He also noted the site would remove about 74 trees and that the city code requires tree replacement that the site cannot fully accommodate, so a development agreement to address off-site replacement was being prepared for Common Council consideration on March 31.
Staff and commissioners discussed landscaping, dumpster and screening requirements and the need for masonry enclosures for dumpsters. Commissioners asked for final locations for trash/recycling, confirmed stormwater plan and maintenance agreement submittal requirements, and sought assurance that mechanical equipment and transformers would be screened. One commissioner praised the building’s design and landscaping; another emphasized that any dumpster enclosure likely must be masonry rather than wood for safety reasons.
The commission’s approval is conditioned on: (1) compliance with code requirements; (2) execution and recordation of a cross-access and maintenance agreement between 7605 and 7655 South Sixth Street before permits are issued; (3) revised plans showing final dumpster/trash locations and masonry screening as required; (4) revised plans showing locations and screening for mechanicals, transformers and utilities; and (5) a development agreement outlining compensation for tree replacement and maintenance of an outfall structure within an easement.
Staff said the development agreement will be considered by Common Council on March 31.
