Summary

The Plan Commission approved Tribute Companies’ plan amendment to add storage and limited office space at the Gardens of Stone bank Cemetery (Tax Key MRTT0366-979), subject to any conditions required by Waukesha County planning and zoning.

The Town of Merton Plan Commission on May 6 approved an amendment to Tribute Companies’ plan of operation to construct an addition for storage and limited office space at the Gardens of Stone bank Cemetery (Tax Key MRTT0366-979). Planner Marilyn Haroldson told the commission that setbacks, side offsets and the floor area ratio meet Town ordinance requirements and that the applicant has applied for a Waukesha County zoning permit.

Chairman Klink clarified that the on-site office is not intended "for conducting business," and John Trojan, representing Tribute Companies, said their primary office remains on Cottonwood Avenue in downtown Hartland: "right now their office is on Cottonwood Avenue in downtown Hartland, so if someone in the family wants to conduct business, they will come to one of their offices or they will go there. They don’t really have space onsite." Trojan said the addition is principally for storage and meeting with people on occasion.

Commissioner Caliendo moved to approve the addition and the updated plan of operation, and Commissioner Siepmann seconded. The motion carried. The approval was made subject to the applicant meeting any conditions imposed by Waukesha County planning and zoning.

The commission did not specify additional local conditions during the motion. The next procedural step for the project is final compliance with any county permitting requirements and submittal of required building plans if applicable.
