Commission approves conditional use permit and site plan for riverfront property at 139–145 N. Main Street
Summary
The Plan Commission approved a conditional use permit and a site plan for grading, stair and patio changes at 139 and 145 North Main Street in the Flood Fringe Overlay (FFO) district; staff found no detrimental flood impacts in the applicant's analysis and the project received a downtown façade grant.
The West Bend City Plan Commission on July 1 approved a conditional use permit and site‑plan modifications for 139 and 145 North Main Street, allowing grading and building improvements within the Flood Fringe Overlay District.
Jim (staff) told the commission the applicant, 4 MH Properties 2 LLC (Mike Hussar), submitted a flood analysis prepared by a consultant; staff and the applicant's engineer concluded the proposed lower‑level patio, stair removal and site grading would not negatively affect flood elevations in the area. Staff said public notices were sent to properties within 200 feet and no public comments were received.
Project details: The work includes redoing an upper 9-by-9-foot patio, removing an existing exterior staircase on the south side, installing a lower patio or parking area (either pavers or stamped concrete), and updating exterior materials with aluminum‑clad siding with a wood‑grain finish and dark gray corrugated metal accents. Jim said the project received a façade grant from the downtown Business Improvement District to help fund riverfront façade improvements.
Operational issue raised: Commissioner Mike asked whether an outdoor dumpster on the site would be moved or enclosed; staff said the dumpster likely serves an adjacent restaurant rather than the Hussar building, but staff will follow up to confirm the refuse arrangement.
Action: The commission closed the public hearing and approved the conditional use permit and site plan with conditions; motions were seconded and carried on voice votes.
