Windsor plan commission approves conditioned CSM and condominium plat for Freedom Storage Shops
Summary
The Village of Windsor Plan Commission approved Resolution 2024-22 on Dec. 12, 2024, to allow a new Certified Survey Map and Condominium Plat for Freedom Storage Shops, conditioned on the applicant bringing a building into compliance with the Village’s 10-foot setback before recording.
The Village of Windsor Plan Commission on Dec. 12, 2024 approved a conditioned Certified Survey Map and Condominium Plat for Freedom Storage Shops, a commercial storage development at 6580 Lake Road in Windsor.
Community Development Director and Deputy Administrator Jamie Rybarczyk presented the staff report and said the proposal would divide an existing 5.24-acre parcel into a 2.27-acre lot and two outlots of 0.99 acres and 1.04 acres to create a separate Freedom Storage Shops Condominium distinct from the Century Center Condominium at 6592 Lake Road. Rybarczyk told commissioners that with the proposed survey one of the Freedom Storage Shops buildings would not meet the Village’s 10-foot rear setback requirement and outlined four options to resolve the noncompliance: (1) redo the condominium plat, (2) seek a planned unit development (PUD) to allow setback flexibility, (3) request a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals, or (4) modify the building to meet setbacks.
Chair Bob Wipperfurth opened the public hearing at 5:02 p.m. and read a written comment from George Manthe opposing the request; Manthe’s submission characterized the application as related to sale purposes and expressed disagreement with the proposal. Petitioner Abe Degnan and his attorney Ryan Seib attended the hearing; Degnan said he preferred approval without contingency but indicated he wanted the matter resolved promptly.
After discussion about the options for resolving the setback discrepancy, Commissioner Dave Gaustad moved to approve Resolution 2024-22 subject to the additional condition that, before recording any documents, the applicant must bring the property into compliance with the Village setback requirements by moving the building, moving the property line, or both. Commissioner Bill LeGore seconded the motion, which carried 6–0.
The commission also approved the Nov. 14, 2024 meeting minutes earlier in the session by a 6–0 vote and adjourned the Dec. 12 meeting at 6:02 p.m.
What happens next: the condition requires the applicant to resolve the setback noncompliance before the Village will record the CSM and condominium documents; options available to the applicant include reconfiguring the plat, pursuing a PUD, seeking a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals, or altering the building design to meet the 10-foot setback.
