Summary
On July 7, 2026 the Ashwaubenon Site Plan Review Committee recommended approval of an accessory structure (140 sq ft) at 840 Willard Drive, subject to staff conditions limiting use to cold storage, placement behind the building, material matching, anchoring on a 4-inch concrete pad, and adherence to size and setback rules.
The Ashwaubenon Site Plan Review Committee on July 7 recommended approval of a site plan request for an accessory structure at 840 Willard Drive.
Planning staff said the requested accessory structure is 140 square feet, within the allowance under the village code, and meets site performance standards described in the packet. Staff listed conditions and limits: the accessory building must use exterior materials and colors similar to the principal building; exposed or semi-exposed fasteners are not permitted for metal wall panels; it must be used only for cold storage of non-hazardous supplies, lawn equipment and hand tools (no heavy equipment); it must be placed in the rear yard and be as minimally visible from a public right-of-way as practical; it must not be located within 4 feet of a side or rear lot line, within 10 feet of any other structure (excluding the refuse enclosure), or within an important easement; it must be anchored to a concrete pad with a minimum 4-inch thickness; and only one accessory building is permitted, not to exceed 144 square feet or 12 feet in height.
A committee member commented that the structure is "cleverly hidden behind the main property" and moved to approve; the chair recorded a motion and second and the committee approved the accessory structure with staff conditions by voice vote ('aye'). Staff noted a representative of the ownership group was present in the audience; no public testimony is recorded in the transcript.
