Plan commission approves multiple conditional use permits, clears large warehouse plan
Summary
Sheboygan City Plan Commission approved conditional use permits for an elite tumbling gym, an office-in-shop, and a warehouse/distribution center (with exceptions for additional access points), and approved the architectural design for the proposed warehouse.
The Sheboygan City Plan Commission approved several conditional use permits and cleared architectural review for a large warehouse and distribution building during its meeting.
Nick (transcript: Nick Manz/mans) sought and received approval to open an Elite Tumbling location at 2821 N. 15th Street. Nick described the business as a chain of gym facilities offering flexible, low-cost unlimited classes and hands-on instruction for ages 2–18, operating seven days a week. Commissioners clarified that no exterior modifications were proposed as part of the application; after questions the commission moved to approve the permit and the motion carried by voice vote.
An application by Eric (last name discussed in the meeting) for an office-in-heated-shop with storage on a vacant parcel was approved. Eric confirmed the planned timeline (start in the fall, finish in winter) and staff clarified that the nearby Lutheran church parking was not required parking being eliminated by the proposal. The commission approved the usage application by voice vote.
Brian Novak presented a proposal to consolidate two industrial parcels for a warehouse/distribution facility and requested exceptions to allow additional curb cuts and access points on Southpoint Drive to separate van, associate and truck circulation. Novak and his team (architect David Mancuso and civil engineer Jim Jones) said the additional driveway points were intended to improve on-site queuing and safety by separating different traffic flows. The commission approved the conditional use permit and the requested access exceptions.
Separately, the commission reviewed an architectural submission for the proposed warehouse, presented by David Mancuso, principal architect at BL Companies. Mancuso described the building as roughly 835 feet long and 260 feet deep, with precast concrete panels, metal siding, a blue band at the top and parapet walls to screen rooftop equipment. Commissioners discussed the scale and agreed the simple massing and canopies helped mitigate the building’s visual weight; the architectural submission was approved.
Each approval was recorded as carried by voice vote; specific roll-call tallies were not stated in the transcript. Applicants were wished luck as the commission closed those agenda items.
