Commission approves QuickTrip addition, staff keeps façade articulation condition

City Plan Commission, City of Kenosha · August 22, 2024

Summary

The commission approved a 2,915-square-foot addition to the QuickTrip convenience store, with discussion focusing on west-elevation articulation and additional landscaping to screen mechanicals and improve year-round appearance.

Dean Schultz of Excel Engineering presented plans for a 2,915-square-foot addition at the QuickTrip site, explaining the west elevation houses electrical and cooler equipment and requesting relief from an exterior-articulation condition. "There is an existing, cooler... that's where our electrical service comes in... we were hoping not to touch that facade," Schultz said, asking the commission to modify the condition.

Staff said landscaping had been added per prior commission directives and recommended keeping condition 2(e) requiring additional articulation on the north and west elevations, while noting options such as faux windows, brick columns or similar features to break up the blank wall. Commissioners recommended adding evergreens and additional softening in the plantings to provide year-round screening. The commission approved the conditional-use permit subject to conditions, including landscaping and façade articulation.
