Plan commission approves sign variance for Momentum Daycare at former Lawrence School site
Summary
The commission approved a sign variance allowing an 8‑foot monument sign at 3011 Salesville Road to sit 6 inches inside the property line (with conditions), after staff confirmed the existing sign was installed without permits.
The Waukesha Plan Commission granted a sign variance and appeal for Momentum Daycare at 3011 Salesville Road (the former Lawrence School), allowing a proposed 8‑foot monument sign to be located 6 inches inside the property line and approving site‑specific placement with conditions and permits.
Staff reported the existing sign had been placed without permits and recommended approval of a variance to keep the monument sign on the applicant’s property, provided the project address staff comments and obtains required sign permits.
Commissioner Keller suggested moving the sign slightly further from the curb to avoid damage from snow plows; the commission adopted a condition that effectively sets a 0 lot line approval while maintaining a final designed 12‑inch setback from the curb. The motion to approve the sign variance with those clarifications passed unanimously.
The approval is subject to the applicant submitting proper sign permits and addressing staff comments before installation.
