Votes at a glance: West Bend planning commission denies Daisy/Clearview PUD, approves several CUPs and site plans
Summary
On June 4 the commission recommended denial of a PUD overlay, site plan and related CSM for a 16‑home project near Daisy Drive; it approved conditional use permits at 933 Hickory and 2050 Willow Lane and approved multiple site plans/CSMs including an airport hangar and renovations at 1539 N. Main.
The West Bend Planning Commission’s June 4 meeting produced several formal recommendations and approvals.
Denied items (recommendations to Common Council) - Planned unit development overlay, site plan and certified survey map for a proposed 16‑unit single‑family development east of Daisy Drive and Clearview Drive (developer: Diamond Holdings, LLC). The commission cited concerns about wetlands/stormwater, private‑road design, narrow setbacks, lack of green space and potential impacts on emergency access. The commission voted to deny the overlay and then denied the associated site plan and CSM.
Approved items - Conditional use permit (B1) approved to convert an existing two‑family residential building at 933 Hickory Street to single‑family use; staff had no adverse comments and recommended approval. - Conditional use permit (B2) approved to construct a new single‑family home at 2050 Willow Lane in an RD2 district with a reduced average yard setback consistent with surrounding properties; staff recommended conditions to ensure two on‑site parking stalls and discussed fire‑hydrant and parking concerns with neighbors. - Site plan approval granted for a 90 by 30 foot airplane hangar at the municipal airport (well and holding tank required; county permits required for tanks). Staff recommended approval with conditions and noted the common council previously approved the lease in May. - Site plan approval granted for exterior renovations and parking reconfiguration at 1539 North Main Street (B3). Applicant described signage plans and a raised patio area with handicap access; staff recommended approval with a condition for sign submittal. - Certified survey map approvals: two‑lot CSM for Samaritan Home parcel reconfiguration (county) and a two‑lot extraterritorial CSM at East Decorah Road; staff recommended approval and the commission approved both.
What’s next - The commission’s denials for the Daisy/Clearview items will be forwarded to the Common Council as the commission’s recommendation. The applicant may revise and resubmit; staff has pending stormwater comments to share with the applicant. - A public hearing was set for Aug. 6, 6:00 p.m., for a proposed change in the comprehensive plan land use for approximately 0.5 acres at 1904–1914 River Drive from multifamily to two‑family residential.
