Commission gives conceptual OK to High Format yard expansion; staff expects site-plan amendment
Summary
MDC East Troy (High Format) proposed adding roughly 2.4 acres of outdoor storage; the commission indicated the change is likely a site-plan amendment rather than a major conditional use amendment and recommended berming or screening if neighbors develop.
The commission reviewed a conceptual request by MDC East Troy (High Format) to expand its outdoor storage yard by roughly 2.4 acres at 2616 South Executive Drive. The original project was approved under a conditional use with some screening requirements; petitioner said the proposed expansion follows original grading and would be largely unseen from the entrance.
Staff and commissioners indicated the expansion appears to be a site-plan amendment rather than a major conditional-use amendment, provided the petitioner follows the original grading and screening approach. Commissioners recommended the applicant consider a berm or fencing for added screening and noted that if adjacent properties to the south or east later develop, additional screening or conditions might be required. The petitioner said some grading and topsoil removal would be needed and that increased inventory needs motivated the request; the expansion would also make adding a second shift feasible in the future.
Next steps: the petitioner will pursue a site-plan amendment submission with appropriate grading and screening details; staff advised consideration of a berm to address visual and noise concerns.
