Plan Commission approves two-lot certified survey map for West Bend Sand and Stone property
Summary
The West Bend Plan Commission voted to approve a certified survey map creating two parcels on West Washington Street for West Bend Sand and Stone Company Inc.; staff said both parcels meet B1 zoning requirements.
The City of West Bend Plan Commission approved a certified survey map (CSM) on March 4, 2025, to divide a parcel on West Washington Street into two lots for West Bend Sand and Stone Company Inc.
The CSM will create an eastern parcel of about 1.5 acres and a western parcel of almost 8 acres, both zoned B1 (community business district), and staff recommended approval after finding the parcels meet zoning requirements and provide adequate right-of-way for Highway 33 (West Washington Street). The commission voted to approve the map by voice vote; the motion carried.
City staff said each new lot will have a maximum of one access point to West Washington Street; the western lot will also have access to a nearby right-of-way triangle. Staff noted existing We Energies and communications easements and a billboard easement on the eastern lot. A representative for the property said the split aims to divide the land to attract two separate buyers and referenced an earlier interaction with the Department of Natural Resources about the property’s use dating back about 15 years.
Why it matters: The CSM formalizes a land division that could enable sale or development of the two parcels. Because the lots are in a B1 community business zone, future uses will be constrained by that zoning designation and by the easements noted in staff materials.
Meeting note: The CSM discussion began when the chair introduced the item and concluded after brief comments from a property representative and a motion to approve. The commission addressed the CSM as a discrete agenda item before moving on to a separate site-plan review later in the meeting.
