Plan Commission OKs setback change for Grandview Estates Lot 42
Summary
The Onalaska Plan Commission unanimously approved an amendment to the Grandview Estates PUD to allow an 18-foot street-yard setback on Lot 42 to accommodate a new residence, citing steep rear-yard slopes; city staff recommended approval with five conditions.
The Onalaska Plan Commission unanimously approved a planned unit development amendment on Dec. 16 to permit an 18-foot street-yard setback for Lot 42 at Grandview Estates, allowing construction of a new single-family dwelling at 4140 Madison Heights Drive.
City planner Katie Aspenson told the commission the Grandview Estates PUD already allows a reduced street-yard setback from 25 feet to 18 feet on neighboring parcels but Lot 42 was not included. Aspenson said the applicant, Dream Builders of Wisconsin LLC on behalf of Kaysha and Alex Masiak, shares similar hardships because of steep slopes in the rear yard and requested the same setback. "City staff are in support of this request as it is a continuation of the original approved PUD deviations for lots of similar limitations," Aspenson said. Staff recommended approval with five conditions.
Alder Jim Benash moved to approve the amendment with the five staff conditions; Tom Smith seconded. There was no public testimony for or against the request, and the commission voted unanimously to approve the amendment.
The commission did not identify additional changes to the PUD; staff will carry the five conditions of approval into the file for the development permit application.
