Commission reviews Ideal Core Holdings three-lot commercial concept on Highway 164
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a conceptual three-lot commercial land division by Ideal Core Holdings on Highway 164 (approx. 17.6 acres) focused on contractor/warehouse-condo units and storage, and raised technical questions about road dedication, emergency access, stormwater, septic and parking; no action was taken.
The planning commission reviewed a conceptual land-division request from Ideal Core Holdings (applicant Rick Rivera) for a roughly 17.6-acre parcel along State Highway 164 that would be divided into three lots ranging about 2.7 to 9.43 acres, with proposed uses including contractor-oriented business-condominium units, self-storage units and several 5,000-square-foot commercial buildings.
Staff described the proposal as conceptual and noted the commission’s role at this stage is advisory: the applicant presented multiple layout options, explained that the access point onto Highway 164 would remain unchanged, said WISDOT had been contacted and that an initial assessment indicated a traffic-study requirement may not be triggered at concept level.
Why this matters: The plan could add contractor-focused commercial space and storage to the village’s highway corridor, but commissioners and staff emphasized design details are required to ensure safe emergency access, adequate parking, stormwater management and utilities.
Key technical concerns raised by commissioners and staff included: whether the internal road should be dedicated as a public road or constructed to public standards as private infrastructure, parking adequacy for future retail or contractor uses, emergency vehicle circulation (including whether a proposed 45-foot roundabout and internal turning radii are sufficient), potential septic requirements for tenant uses, and preliminary stormwater and wetland locations that may reduce developable acreage.
Staff and the applicant discussed conditional-use processes for storage buildings and the need for a certified survey map, site-plan approval and occupancy permits prior to final approvals. Commissioners recommended that the applicant provide a detailed survey, a clear list of proposed uses (to avoid mismatches such as diesel repair where not intended) and a plan for intersection improvements or dedication if traffic conditions require it.
The commission offered feedback but took no formal action; staff told the applicant to return with more detailed plans (grading, parking, stormwater, surveys) if the project is advanced toward conditional-use or site-plan review.
