Plan Commission recommends approval of certified survey map for Nicholson Road properties
Summary
The Plan Commission voted to recommend approval of a certified survey map that will reconfigure 10751 and 10775 South Nicholson Road into three RS-3 lots, preserving the existing residence and accessory buildings on one lot and creating two vacant single-family lots along Richards Road.
The Plan Commission recommended that the Common Council approve a certified survey map (CSM) reconfiguring parcels at 10751 South Nicholson Road and 10775 South Nicholson Road into three lots. The recommendation, made during the commission meeting, included a condition that technical corrections be completed prior to recording.
The CSM would combine the parcel with the single-family home and accessory barn/garage into Lot 1 (about 1.65 acres) and subdivide the portion fronting Richards Road into two roughly equal vacant lots (about 19,270–19,271 square feet each) intended for future single-family development. Todd, a Community Development staff member, said all three proposed lots meet RS-3 bulk and dimensional standards.
Why it matters: approving the CSM clears the way for property reconfiguration and potential future home construction along Richards Road while preserving the parcel that currently contains a residence and accessory structures.
Details and discussion: Todd explained that 10751 South Nicholson Road has frontage on Richards Road and contains an older barn/garage used by the adjoining lot under common ownership, while 10775 contains a single-family house and multiple accessory structures. The applicant proposes to combine and redivide the land so Lot 1 will contain the residence and accessory buildings; Lots 2 and 3 would be vacant lots created for sale and future single-family homes. Commissioners asked whether the two new lots would have structures (they do not) and confirmed that the existing residence will remain occupied and under the same ownership.
Action taken: The commission approved a motion recommending that the Common Council approve the CSM with the condition that all technical corrections (including spelling, minor coordinate geometry corrections, and corrections required for compliance with the municipal code and Wisconsin statutes) be made prior to recording. The motion passed by roll call vote.
Next steps: The recommendation goes to the Common Council for final action; staff noted the requirement that technical corrections be completed before recording the CSM.
