Plan commission approves 3,075 sq ft service addition for International Porsche on East Moreland
Summary
Waukesha Plan Commission unanimously approved a 3,075-square-foot rear addition at 2228 East Moreland Boulevard to add five service stalls and relocate EV charging stations, contingent on standard engineering, fire and utility sign-offs and marked employee parking.
The Waukesha Plan Commission on Sept. 24 unanimously approved a final site plan and architectural review for an addition to the International Porsche service center at 2228 East Moreland Boulevard.
The addition will add about 3,075 square feet at the rear of the existing dealership to accommodate five service stalls accessed through east-facing overhead doors. Staff said exterior materials and colors will match the existing building and that two EV charging pedestals will be relocated behind the new addition.
Robin, a city planning staff member, presented the proposal and recommended approval with conditions that all engineering, fire department and water utility comments be addressed and that an engineering concurrence letter be provided before building permits are issued. During the public discussion, Mike Christine, alder for District 1, said the dealership is generally well-maintained but expressed concern about employee parking spilling onto Meadowview and Longview; staff and the project architect said the dealership has a substantial parking lot north of the building and the rear area is used primarily for service vehicles.
Eric Madison of Madison Maher Architects said the rear lot typically holds six to eight vehicles awaiting service and that the addition would not remove employee parking. Commissioners made the approval contingent on the applicant marking and signing employee parking on-site; staff said similar requirements have been enforced for other local dealerships.
The motion to approve passed unanimously with five yes votes and two absences recorded at roll call.
The commission also recorded that charging stations currently located in the parking lot will be moved to the northern rear point behind the addition; the staff cover sheet originally misidentified their location but the presentation clarified the relocation.
The commission’s approval was procedural and contingent on the listed technical sign-offs; no design deviations were approved.
