West Bend Plan Commission approves multiple CSMs, Parrish site plan and Lakewood Farms final plat; one abstention recorded
The Plan Commission of the City of West Bend on Nov. 4 approved a series of certified survey maps (CSMs), a site plan and a subdivision final plat, most by unanimous voice vote on motions brought during the meeting.

Staff introduced six extraterritorial CSMs in the Town of Trenton and surrounding areas that would create single-family lots and dedicate or reserve right-of-way for future road expansion. Jim, a city planning staff member, told commissioners the CSMs generally dedicate a minimum 33 feet of right-of-way with a 17-foot reservation that the city may acquire later, and that the parcels are identified as residential in the comprehensive plan. Several parcels are outside the city's current sewer service area.

The commission approved the following CSMs (addresses and town as stated in the packet):
- a 3-lot extraterritorial CSM on the east side of North River Road, south of Wallace Lake Road (Town of Trenton);
- a companion 3-lot CSM for the southern portion of the same parcel (Town of Trenton);
- a one-lot CSM on the south side of Wallace Lake Road about 1,100 feet west of North Oak Road (Town of Trenton) — staff noted this lot is outside the city sewer area;
- a one-lot CSM on the west side of North Oak Road about 1,100 feet south of Wallace Lake Road (Town of Trenton);
- a 3-lot CSM at 3805 Schuster Drive (Town of Barton);
- a one-lot extraterritorial CSM at 4575 State Highway 33 (Bender Automotive, Town of West Bend). For the Bender Automotive CSM, one commissioner said, “I'll I'll abstain on it,” citing a family employment connection; the motion carried with one recorded abstention.

The commission also approved a city-led 2-lot CSM east of South River Road to create a lot for PS Seasonings and a remnant lot in the industrial park; staff requested a minor correction to a drainage-easement label and a typographical correction.

On a separate agenda item, the commission approved a site plan and exterior building alterations for Parrish Engineering at 508 North Main Street. Staff described exterior masonry repair, new windows and doors, siding replacement, painting and the addition of awnings; because awnings overhang the right-of-way, the applicant will need a temporary grant of privilege from the clerk's office. Staff recommended approval with two listed conditions.

Lastly, the commission approved the final plat and grading plan for Lakewood Farms Phase 1, a 26-lot, two-outlot single-family subdivision on the east side of South Eighteenth Avenue. Staff reported utilities are being installed, and stormwater and construction plans had been approved; the final plat was approved with the conditions listed in the staff report.

All items were approved on motions and seconded as recorded in the meeting; most votes were voice approvals with the transcript noting motions carried but not listing numerical tallies.
