Plan Commission approves 8‑ft chain‑link fence with barbed wire; adds screening requirement
Summary
The Plan Commission voted to concur with staff recommendations to allow an 8‑foot chain‑link fence topped with three strands of barbed wire around a portion of an industrial property, and required additional evergreen plantings to screen a nearby residence.
The Pewaukee Plan Commission approved a site and building plan to install an 8‑foot‑tall chain‑link fence topped with three strands of barbed wire around a portion of an industrial property at W227/70 Glen Road, with a condition requiring additional evergreen screening to reduce visibility from an adjacent single‑family home.
Nick, a city staff member, said the fence is largely internal to the site but suggested adding evergreen plantings to screen the small area of single‑family residential exposure; staff recommended approval with that screening condition. Commissioners discussed whether two evergreens would be sufficient; one commissioner suggested four to six evergreens based on a site visit.
A motion to concur with staff recommendations and add the mayor's noted screening improvements carried unanimously in the commission.
