Plan commission approves Brown and South Oaks Road comprehensive plan amendment
Summary
The commission approved Resolution 10-2026 to amend the transportation element: it removes an obsolete Pike River crossing, aligns roadways with a preliminary plat, and incorporates Braun Road reconstruction with a planned roundabout; staff said the change supports long-term infill connectivity and county housing goals.
The Mount Pleasant Plan Commission voted unanimously to approve Resolution 10-2026, a comprehensive plan amendment that revises the village transportation layer near Brown and South Oaks Roads to match an approved preliminary plat and the village's Braun Road reconstruction project.
Sam, planning staff, told commissioners the amendment would "delete connections no longer feasible and incorporate the village's Braun Road reconstruction project with a roundabout" at Braun and Oaks Roads and would remove a planned crossing of the Pike River Corridor because it no longer serves a purpose. Robin, planning staff, summarized public hearing input and noted that a nearby property owner (Mr. Kramer) said he had not been consulted; staff clarified the comp plan does not mandate roads across private property and removed a previous traffic-assessment assumption that Biscayne would be connected through Kramer's parcel.
Staff said the amendment is consistent with village goals and regional guidance and would help make an adjacent preliminary plat viable. Sam also cited county housing numbers used in regional planning, saying the plat contributes toward the more than 4,000 housing units Racine County's study identifies as needed by 2029. After commissioner questions about parcel locations and constructability, Nancy moved to approve the resolution; the motion passed by voice vote with unanimous support.
