Plan Commission asks staff to draft code language to allow additional access points for middle school project
Summary
Commissioners asked staff to draft an amendment or guidance to the code limiting access points per street frontage after the middle school consultant said the preferred design requires a third access; staff will consult police and DPW and return with proposed language and timeline for a public hearing.
The East Troy Plan Commission directed planning staff to draft proposed language to give the village flexibility from the code section that limits the number of access points on a single street frontage, following a request from the middle school project team.
Planner Warren explained the code currently limits the number of access points for a lot to two on a single street frontage. The middle school consultant and staff presented alternatives and said the preferred drop‑off loop configuration would create a third access on the same street frontage. Commissioners discussed safety and traffic control, asked staff to consult the police and Department of Public Works, and suggested potential criteria for exceptions such as controlled intersections and separation from bus circulation. Warren said he would bring draft language to the next meeting and, if favorable, pursue a public hearing in April or May so the school could aim to construct during the summer break.
Commissioners emphasized the safety rationale for separating parent drop‑off and bus traffic and asked staff to consider intersection control and police input in the draft.
