Plan commission approves final plat for 28‑lot Tenney Woods subdivision

The Waukesha City Plan Commission unanimously approved the final plat for Tenney Woods, a single‑family subdivision of 28 lots on approximately 40 acres east of Tenney Avenue.

Doug, the planning presenter, summarized that the Tenney Woods plat is the single‑family portion of the previously considered Lehi at Standing Stone project and that outlots would be dedicated to the city for park and stormwater detention purposes. He said Outlot 3 would provide an easement for public access into the park site and that private and public sidewalks would be constructed to city standards.

Jim Traczynski, an owner at the adjacent Glen It Standing Stone Condominiums, said residents were supportive of the homes but asked the commission to consider renaming the road through Tenney Woods to avoid confusion with the condominium development’s Standing Stone Drive and suggested East/West designations. He also raised traffic and delivery concerns and asked whether a four‑way stop could be considered near the clubhouse area. Staff replied that street names are typically continuous for emergency service routing but that staff would coordinate with police, fire and the developer; addressing stop signs and traffic controls would be referred to the appropriate committee and the common council.

Commissioners confirmed that sidewalks would be installed on both sides of the new public street, and that the private drive at the southwest end would retain single‑side sidewalk treatment. The commission moved to approve the final plat subject to all staff comments and the motion passed unanimously.
