VILLAGE OF EPHRAIM PLAN COMMITTEE
WORKING SESSION MEETING MINUTES
TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 2026 - 12:00 PM
9996 WATER STREET
Present: Andy Bartelt, Grace Held, Laird Hart, Rick Hoyerman, BD Thorp, and Ken Nelson – Chair.
Absent: Monique McClean
Staff: Brent Bristol - Village Administrator and Kim Roberts - Deputy Clerk.
Guests: John Cox (online) and Stuart Chomeau.
Call to Order: K. Nelson called the working session to order at 12:00 PM.
K. Nelson explained to the Committee that he had worked with Bristol and Roberts on his suggested updates to the
ordinance so that they could be implemented into the current draft.
The Plan Committee reviewed the current working draft of the Protected Waterfront District Ordinance. Starting
with the intent statement §17.20(1), the Committee noted that, in error, the intent statement drafted by Hoyerman
had been omitted except for the last s entence. They asked for the full intent statement drafted by Hoyerman to be
included in the next draft, along with the new last sentence that was included in the current draft. The Committee
discussed replacing the word “leeway” within the intent statement. However, the Committee decided to keep the
word “leeway” after considering alternative synonyms.
The Committee reviewed permitted uses § 17.20(2), with the Committee requesting that conditional uses listed in
§17.20(3)(b)(2) and §17.20(3)(b)(3) be simplified and moved into the permitted use section §17.20(2).
Bristol raised the organizational point that when listing permitted and conditional uses, it is atypical to go into the
finer points of what those uses mean, and that detail belongs in the body of the document. He noted that in the draft,
the full reproduction definition appeared both in §17.20(3)(b)(3) and in Section 8, creating redundancy. He
suggested that §17.20(3)(b)(3) be struck and the definition remain in §17.20(8).
The Committee worked on the definition of “house reproduction” in § 17.20(8)(a). Hart added a minor editorial
note: the definition of reproduction should begin "means creating" rather than "is creating," and Hoyerman agreed.
As drafted, it described creating an exact replica of an existing house, including all unique features, materials, and
architectural details, with materials to be sourced or recreated to ensure authenticity. Several refinements were
discussed:
• The word "exact" before "replica" was proposed for removal to avoid an unachievably strict standard, given
that original materials such as specific moldings, siding profiles, or rafter dimensions may no longer be
available or permitted under current building code.
• Bristol noted that from the most restrictive reading, a true exact replica may be functionally impossible — for
example, modern construction requires trusses rather than the rafter systems used 75 years ago, and insulation
R-values have changed. The Committee agreed that size and volume should remain exact, while architectural
and material details should allow for faithful reproduction using available or recreated equivalents.
• Bartelt suggested adding language explicitly permitting substitution of materials no longer available, subject
to design review, to give property owners clarity. K. Nelson expressed caution about creating a slippery slope,
but acknowledged that modern equivalents of historic materials are often available at specialty sources.
The Committee discussed §17.20(6)(a)(i) – Footprints. The Committee considered two alternatives for addressing
footprints in the PW district. The first, more restrictive option held that footprints cannot be modified at all — no
combining, no increasing. The second option allowed for footprint increases under limi ted circumstances: If an
existing accessory building is removed, its footprint square footage could be reclaimed and incorporated into the
principal structure, provided the width of the principal structure as measured parallel to State Highway 42 is not
increased, and no upper level is added over the reclaimed area.
2
Hoyerman raised a concern that making the ordinance more restrictive than what was presented to the board, which
had been framed as a cleanup of existing language , could be difficult to defend. K. Nelson acknowledged the
concern but noted the original intent was always to achieve a certain character of development, and that tightening
the dimensional details was necessary to achieve that.
The Committee agreed to eliminate the first restrictive option related to footprints and proceed with the second,
more nuanced alternative, which incentivizes the consolidation of structures and removal of accessory buildings to
improve shoreline views. Bristol noted that "structure" should be replaced with "building" throughout, as accessory
structures such as freestanding fireplaces or carports are not the same as enclosed buildings in §17.20(6)(a)(i)(a).
Hart raised a concern about the use of the word "width," noting that depending on a building's orientation, "length"
and "width" could be ambiguous. The Committee agreed to clarify by adding “as measured parallel to STH 42” in
section §17.20(6)(a)(i)(b).
Design Criteria
K. Nelson reintroduced language stating that projects in the PW district should generally have the design
characteristics of a single-story or one-and-a-half-story house and shall meet the design criteria in §17.26 Historic
District Ordinance. The Committee agreed to retain this language as a reference point, though it was noted that "a
half story house" appeared as a typographical error and would be corrected to "a one-and-a-half-story house."
Hoyerman suggested replacing the word "new residence" with "projects within this district" to avoid confusion, as
the section covers additions, modifications, and replacements — not only entirely new construction.
The Committee agreed to add language stating that the number and “varying pitches” of rooflines should be
minimized, as a reaction to past projects that featured multiple intersecting rooflines and varying pitches that
created a visually busy appearance. The overall guiding principle was articulated as a correction to add "design
simplicity and avoidance of bulk," combining a phrase from the historic district ordinance with the Committee's
stated concern about overly boxy structures in §17.20(6)(b)(iii).
Regarding visual impact, the Committee agreed that any landscape plan submitted in connection with a building
project should not reduce water views between buildings. K. Nelson noted this topic would require additional
refinement and suggested setting it aside for further work, as it extends into broader landscaping policy.
House Attachments
K. Nelson introduced the concept of "house attachments" — a newly defined term covering elements such as
decks, porches, screened porches, and windowed porches in §17.20(6)(b)(iv). The proposed provision would
allow existing attachments to be replaced on a one-for-one basis — a porch replaced by a porch of equal or lesser
size, but not upgraded to a screened or windowed enclosure. The Committee noted there is a new definition for
"house attachment" in the definitions section §17.09, and members were asked to review it before the next
meeting.
Dimensional Standards
The Committee briefly touched on dimensional standards, including a discussion of height limits. The current
ordinance sets a maximum height of 23 feet for the principal structure, with a 25-foot allowance for chimneys and
other elements. K. Nelson raised the question whether a structure built to only 21 feet should receive the same 25-
foot allowance for chimneys, or whether the allowance should be capped at 2 feet above the actual ridge height.
No final decision was reached, and the Committee agreed to take up dimensional standards in full at the next
meeting. Bristol reminded the Committee that the State Building Code would also need to be contemplated in the
final decision.
Held moved, Hoyerman seconded to adjourn at 1:38 PM, all ayes. Motion carried.

6. Michael Wegner – County Q- 121-01-13312744B2 – New SFR – Design Review:
2
Bristol noted that this project received design approval during the May Plan Committee meeting, but final
decisions regarding materials, colors, and finishes remained outstanding.
Michael Wegner participated remotely and presented the material and color selections. For the primary
siding, Wegner selected LP Smartside Diamond Coat in an aged cedar/medium brown tone, chosen for its
ability to mimic the appearance of real wood. He noted the product appears somewhat lighter in direct
sunlight and that individual pieces vary slightly. For the fireplace, Wegner chose Door County Cobbles,
describing them as lighter and more uniform than fieldstone, yet still in keeping with the kind of stone
traditionally found throughout Ephraim. He referenced the fieldstone aesthetic of local barns and the
Ephraim Clay Works as design inspirations. The roof will be a standing- seam, matte black metal with
ribbed detailing but no exposed screws. Wegner also clarified that the siding orientation had been updated
to vertical to better reflect traditional Wisconsin barn architecture, such as the Anderson Barn Museum, a
change from the horizontal orientation shown in earlier drawings. The fireplace will be propane -fueled
but will feature real stone on both the interior and exterior as a design element.
Material samples were passed among Committee members for review. The Committee expressed general
approval of the selections, finding them attractive and appropriate.
Thorp moved, Bartelt seconded to approve the New SFR Design Review Application for parcel 121-
01-13312744B2 for color and material selections as presented, all ayes. Motion carried.
7. Uselding/Brandemuehl – 121-56-0007 – New SFR – Design Review:
Bristol noted that no representative for the project appeared to be present online or in person. This is the
first home to be constructed in the Everett Acres subdivision, which was approved previously for a two-
acre minimum lot as a rural residential (RR) district subdivision. Br istol confirmed that all dimensional
standards fall within what is allowable in the district and that no significant areas of concern were
identified.
Material samples were distributed to the Committee for review, including CertainTeed Series shingles in
driftwood, Drexel Blue Door siding in snow white, a white metal finish attributed to the garage door,
window cladding, door trim, soffit, and fascia, stone veneer called “Fond du Lac County Squire”, and an
iron-colored front door. Bristol confirmed that the CertainTeed Series shingle products are approved for
use even within the Historic District.
A discussion was held regarding the design review application for parcel 121-56-0007. K. Nelson noted
it was somewhat unusual to see a full basement rather than a walkout given Door County's rocky terrain.
Bristol explained that the egress window wells appeared compliant with state code requirements, with
approximately three egress points corresponding to the number of bedrooms. K. Nelson raised a concern
regarding the scale of land disturbance noted on the plans — approximately forty-five thousand two
hundred thirty square feet (45,230 ft
2), or over one (1) acre of a two (2) acre lot — and asked whether the
grading plan had been reviewed to ensure no additional runoff would be directed onto neighboring
properties. Bristol acknowledged the concern, noting that the subdivision's stormwater design includes
detention basins and swales that may already account for this. He indicated he could follow up when
construction begins and silt fencing is installed. The C ommittee agreed it was prudent to include a
condition in the motion requiring that grading not result in additional runoff onto adjoining properties.
Thorp moved, Hart seconded to approve the New SFR Design Review Application for Uselding/
Brandemuehl for parcel 121 -56-0007, conditioned upon the project not contributing additional
runoff to neighboring properties, all ayes. Motion carried.
8. County of Door – 121-02-19312831A- Communications tower, shelter, and generator:
Bristol provided background, noting that the Plan Committee, the Community Protection Committee
(CPC), and the Village Board had been engaged with the County of Door on this project for several
months. The county's representative, Ken Pabich, was present to speak about the project details.
3
Pabich described the proposed installation, which includes a lattice -style communications tower, an
equipment shelter, a generator pad, and an optional pad for future cellular carriers. The tower will be 180
feet tall, including the antennas, bringing the total height to just under the two -hundred-foot (200’) FAA
lighting threshold, thereby avoiding the need for tower lighting — a deliberate design choice to respect
the county's dark sky values. Pabich noted that Vertical Bridge would be constructing the tower and that
Nsight may co-locate on the structure to improve cellular coverage in the Village, though this is not yet
confirmed.
The equipment shelter is a pre- specified concrete or composite structure, earth -toned in color, housing
radio and communications equipment that runs continuously and requires active cooling. The site would
be enclosed with a clear chain-link fence, approximately eight feet (8’) tall, with transparency maintained
intentionally so that activity behind the fence remains visible.
Thorp asked about the FAA requirements relative to the nearby airport; Pabich confirmed that the project
will undergo full FAA licensing and permitting review, including geotechnical and archaeological
assessments, and that initial flight pattern analysis suggested the site should be acceptable.
Discussion arose regarding access to the site. K. Nelson noted the desire to discourage public access to
the area near the old village dump. Pabich indicated the rear of the site would be gated and secured, and
expressed openness to adding a gate near the front entrance as well. MacDonald suggested a simple chain
between posts near the front would be sufficient.
K. Nelson referenced the site selection process, noting that the current location had been chosen in part to
be farther from neighboring residences and to avoid disturbing the old dump site. He suggested the county
consider shifting the tower slightly — approximately twenty feet (20’) to the northwest — to preserve an
existing tree line around the installation as a visual buffer. Pabich expressed flexibility on this, noting the
lease agreement could be adjusted accordingly and brought back to the Village Board for approval. Thorp
asked whether trees needed to be cleared to a minimum distance from the equipment; Pabich suggested
that approximately a ten-foot (10’) clearance around the fence line would be sufficient.
Hoyerman addressed the procedural and zoning implications, referencing section §17.18 of the zoning
code and the public property provisions.
Bristol clarified that the primary zoning inconsistency being waived is the requirement that private towers
be monopole or alternate-design structures rather than lattice-style — a requirement written with private
development in mind, but technically applicable across the board, with the specific provision allowing the
village to waive it for projects on village-involved land.
Bristol noted that the Committee's role at this stage is to recommend to the Village Board that it approve
the Intergovernmental Agreement and lease and waive any zoning ordinance requirements inconsistent
with the arrangement. He emphasized that the finer points of the agreement are being handled by the
county's legal counsel and the Village attorney.
Held moved, Thorp seconded to recommend to the Village Board that they approve the
Intergovernmental Agreement and lease with the County of Door for the Emergency Radio
Communications Tower and lease, and to waive all requirements of the zoning ordinance that are
inconsistent with the arrangement as reflected in those documents, all ayes. Motion carried.
9. Beart Family Cottage – 10439 N. Shore Road – Addition – Concept Review:
Bristol introduced this item as a concept review, non-binding, for the property located at 10439 N. Shore
Road. He noted he had been working with the contractors on the project for approximately two (2) months,
and that the owners chose to seek concept review before committing to a final design.
Bristol explained that the standard ordinary high water mark setback is seventy-five feet (75’). However,
the Village zoning ordinance permits the Plan Committee, at its discretion, to allow setback averaging
4
based on adjacent properties. The neighbor to the north has a setback from the ordinary high water mark
of twenty-eight feet (28’) and the neighbor to the south has a setback from the ordinary high water mark
of sixty-one feet (61’), producing an average of forty -five feet (45’). The proposed bedroom addition to
the east side of the home falls behind the 45- foot average setback line but within the 75- foot standard
setback, making it non- compliant under the standard rule but potentially approvable through se tback
averaging. Bristol confirmed that setback averaging has been allowed in the past for projects of similar
and even greater scope, including new construction, and that it applies on a case-by-case basis.
Bristol reviewed the existing structure referred to in the plans as a "screen porch," which the owners
propose to convert into conditioned living space (labeled as a bedroom/flex room). Bristol clarified that
this structure, while called a screen porch, is built with a knee wall beneath the windows and screens, is
covered by the full roof system of the house above, and includes an attic hatch within its ceiling. It is not
a typical open or shed- roofed porch. This portion of the structure falls closer to the water than even the
45-foot average setback line, meaning it sits within the most restricted zone.
The Committee sought clarification on the purpose of the seventy -five-foot (75’) setback, and Bristol
explained that it likely serves multiple goals, including ecological protection, limiting sedimentation and
runoff, and establishing general spatial buffers.
K. Nelson asked whether the entire existing house carries grandfathered status. Brent confirmed that any
existing nonconforming structure retains its grandfather rights in perpetuity for maintenance, repair, and
replacement, but that any new work or expansion is subject to current code. Therefore, the bedroom
addition requires setback averaging approval, while the conditioning of the screen porch raises a separate
question about intensification of nonconformity. Brent noted that even though the screen porch would not
become dimensionally larger, converting it to conditioned space could arguably intensify the
nonconformity.
Hart raised a broader procedural concern: it struck him as unusual that the Plan Committee could exercise
discretionary approval on setback averaging without it being a conditional use or special exception
proceeding, which would require neighbor notification.
Bristol suggested it could be discussed in future ordinance refinements, potentially by making setback
averaging a conditional use, and perhaps distinguishing between modest additions to existing structures
versus full teardown-and-rebuild scenarios.
Committee members expressed a range of views. Bartelt indicated he had no significant concerns with the
project, noting that closing in the screen porch would not change the overall external dimensions of the
structure and that the roofline already envelops that space. He argued that adding a larger addition to the
east in lieu of closing in the porch would actually add more overall mass to the home. Held agreed there
were no issues with either the addition or the screen porch, noting the continuous roofline. Hart expressed
comfort with the project and noted he would need to review the ordinance provision allowing setback
averaging. Thorp expressed comfort with the addition but raised concern about closing in the screen porch,
stating that doing so would open precedents the C ommittee is actively trying to address through the
ongoing Protective Waterfront (PW) work. Hoyerman questioned whether it might actually be simpler for
the applicant to forgo the screen porch conversion and instead make a somewhat larger addition to the
east, though Bartelt and K. Nelson noted this could result in greater overall bulk. K. Nelson noted that his
discomfort with the screen porch conversion stemmed primarily from its location within the most
restricted zone — had it been anywhere else on the property, he would have no objection to a homeowner
enclosing a porch.
The Committee also briefly discussed the conversion of a "sleeping porch" into a kitchen as shown on the
interior plans, with Bristol noting this raised no red flags, as it involves only interior reconfiguration, not
expansion of the footprint.
5
The concept review resulted in a consensus of feedback for the applicants. The bedroom addition to the
east was broadly supported; the enclosure of the screen porch was more contested, with a majority leaning
toward approval but with reservations. Some Committee members suggested enlarging the proposed
addition to the east and leaving the screened porch as is. K. Nelson noted the Committee would be willing
to entertain another concept review if the applicants wished to further refine their approach, or they could
proceed to design review.
10. New business for next meeting / next meeting date:
The next meeting date of the Plan Committee is July 28, 2026, at 7:00 PM.
11. Adjournment:

VILLAGE OF EPHRAIM PLAN COMMITTEE
WORKING SESSION MEETING MINUTES
TUESDAY, JULY 14, 2026 - 12:00 PM
9996 WATER STREET
Present: Andy Bartelt, Grace Held, Laird Hart, Rick Hoyerman, Monique McClean, BD Thorp, and Ken Nelson – Chair.
Staff: Brent Bristol - Village Administrator and Kim Roberts - Deputy Clerk.
Guests: John Cox and Kathy Pentler.
Call to Order: K. Nelson called the working session to order at 12:00 PM.
K. Nelson walked the Committee through changes to the permitted uses section, specifically the addition of a
section for "reproduction" as §17.20(2)(c).
The Committee reviewed and refined the definition of "house reproduction" under Section §17.20(8). Bartelt
suggested adding "and appearance" to the phrase "size and volume" to ensure the look of the structure was
captured, not just its dimensions. The Committee agreed. Hoyerman suggested breaking up the lengthy sentence
and proposed: "The materials must be sourced to ensure authenticity," to which the Committee agreed.
Current Section Language for §17.20(8)(a), “House Reproduction: A house reproduction means creating a replica
of the existing residence in terms of size and volume. Unique features, materials, and architectural details of the
original house must match the project within this district, including design and materials, which must be sourced
to be replicated or recreated to ensure authenticity. Intricate elements such as moldings, windows, and other
unique characteristics are essential to the reproduction.”
Proposed Section language for §17.20(8)(a), “Structure Reproduction: A structure reproduction means creating a
replica of the existing structure in terms of size, volume, and appearance. Unique features, materials, and
architectural details of the original house must match the project, including design and materials. The materials
must be sourced to ensure authenticity. Intricate elements such as moldings, windows, and other unique
characteristics are essential to the reproduction.”
Under 17.20(8)(b), the Committee debated the intent of the provision allowing modern materials to be substituted
for original materials. The original language restricted substitution to cases where original materials were "not
available." Bristol raised the question of whether the carve-out was strictly for unavailability or also permitted for
reasons of cost and modernity. The Committee discussed whether a product such as LP SmartSide—engineered
siding molded to look like cedar—should qualify. After considerable discussion, the Committee agreed that
substitution should be permitted more broadly, provided it remained consistent with the intent of paragraph (a).
Current Section Language for §17.20(8)(b), “
Design Criteria: Original materials not available for reproduction may be
recreated with modern materials, subject to design review and design criteria in §17.26, Historic District.”
Proposed Section Language for §17.20(8)(b), “Design Criteria: Modern materials may only be substituted for
original materials insofar as they are consistent with the provisions of §17.20(8)(a) and subject to design review.
The Committee reviewed §17.20(3) Conditional Uses. They noted the need to replace the word “residences” with
“structures” in §17.20(3)(b) and §17.20(3)(b)(1). After further discussion, the Committee concluded that for
reproduction (Section 2, Permitted Uses), the word "structures" was more appropriate, as it would encompass not
just residences but also accessory buildings, stone walls, flagpoles, and similar features that exist on protected
waterfront properties and could be destroyed and reproduced. Further, the Committee suggested amending
§17.20(3)(b)(1) to read, “Additions/modifications to or replacement of existing structures, subject to §17.20(6).
In §17.20(8), the Committee agreed to replace the word “residences” with the word “structures” in the section
heading as well as throughout the definition of reproduction in §8(a).
2
For conditional uses under Section 3(b), the Committee debated whether to replace "residences" with "buildings"
or "structures." The Committee agreed to leave Section 6 -“Additions/Modifications to or Replacement of
Existing Residences “PW Design Review” referencing residences for now, with Bristol noting he would consult
the Village Attorney regarding “residence” as a use in Section 6. The Committee decided to reverse the order of
§17.20(6)(a)(i)(a) and §17.20(6)(a)(i)(b), with subsection (b) being listed first. Further, in the new
§17.20(6)(a)(i)(a), it should read, “Footprints in the PW District can be modified so long as there is no increase in
the width as measured parallel to STH 42 of the residence or accessory buildings, and no increase in the total
footprint.”
K. Nelson reviewed the Design Criteria subsection §17.20(6)(b), which references the Historic District Ordinance
§17.26 for style and includes a provision that the design characteristics of a project must reflect, at maximum, a
single-story or one-and-one-half-story house. The Committee reviewed the definition of "one and a half story
house" in §17.09 - Definitions, which describes a full first floor with full-height interior walls of nominally eight
feet (8’) and an upper level with less full-height floor area than the first floor.
A discussion was held regarding the definition of a one and one-half story house. Bartelt expressed concern that
the phrase "less full height floor area" still permits a near-full second story if pressed to the maximum by a
creative architect. Bristol noted that the definition itself is not intended to establish the limitations — those would
be set elsewhere — and that the definition simply characterizes what qualifies as a one-and-a-half-story building.
The Committee reviewed the version from the June 23 meeting, a more detailed definition that described deeply
pitched roofs, gables, dormers, and knee walls, and generally preferred it for its greater clarity. K. Nelson
indicated the Committee should return to the original definition and also examine how the Village Assessor
defines story-and-a-half. The Committee agreed to revisit this definition.
The Committee reviewed the provision on visual impact in §17.20(6)(b)(ii), which states that the width of
individual structures as measured parallel to STH 42 cannot be increased, and that when existing landscaping is to
be modified or replaced, a landscape plan is required. The Landscape Plan should not reduce water views between
buildings. Bartelt proposed that the visual impact paragraph simply reference Section 10(b) for landscape plan
requirements, rather than duplicating the discussion. It should read, “When the existing landscape is to be
modified or replaced, it should not reduce the water view between buildings. (See §10 Permit Application; in such
cases, a Landscape Permit is required.)”
Cox raised a philosophical concern about restricting private landowners' ability to landscape their own property in
the interest of public view corridors.
K. Nelson acknowledged this tension, and stressed the intent of the ordinance was to maintain views.
The Committee agreed to keep the provision focused on situations where a building project triggers new
landscaping, and not to extend it to standalone landscaping changes.
The Committee discussed the growing prevalence of permeable pavers and how they are currently counted — or
not counted — as impervious surface. Bristol noted the risk of allowing unlimited permeable pavers between
structures and the waterfront, potentially resulting in what would look like a fully paved yard. The Committee
acknowledged this needed further thought, with Bristol noting it would be preferable to address it before, rather
than after, passing the new ordinance.
The Committee spent significant time discussing the definition and treatment of "house attachments," in
§17.20(6)(b)(iv). The Committee reviewed the definition in §17.09 – definitions. A House Attachment is defined
as elements not part of the conditioned living interior space but attached to the house — such as decks, porches,
screened porches, and windowed porches. The Committee discussed that any existing attachment may be replaced
on a one-for-one basis (same size, same type), giving the example that a porch must be replaced by a porch, not a
screened or windowed porch.
A discussion on house attachments was held. The term "conditioned space" was flagged as problematic. Cox and
others noted that many older cottages have no central conditioning at all, making the term inapplicable as a
dividing line between interior and attachment space. K. Nelson proposed striking the conditioned space language
3
and replacing it with "finished interior space," referencing the footprint definition, which describes space with
walls, floors, and ceilings of materials generally accepted for interior construction, with a ceiling height of at least
seven feet (7’).
The Committee agreed to remove “conditioned living space” from the definition of house attachment and replace
it with “finished interior space” to tie to the definition of footprint. Bristol questioned whether "finished" was the
right word, noting that a windowed porch could have carpeting and electrical outlets and still arguably be
"finished."
Regarding the definition of footprint, §17.09 definitions, the Committee agreed to strike “dimensions” and
replace it with the word “area”. Further, the Committee decided to strike the sentence, “This is a conditioned
space where temperature and humidity are controlled in the space.”
The larger policy question of whether attachments such as screened or windowed porches should be included in
the footprint was debated at length. K. Nelson described the situation with a prior application where a windowed
porch was significantly enlarged because the ordinance lacked clear controls. The one-for-one replacement rule
was described as the primary mechanism to prevent this kind of expansion. The Committee discussed whether
decks should be treated differently from porches. K. Nelson suggested decks might be less of a concern from a
bulk and visual standpoint than roofed porches, though second-story decks were noted as potentially more
impactful. No final decision was made on this distinction.
Cox raised the specific situation of his own cottages, which have covered, unenclosed porches and fall below the
six hundred square foot (600 ft
2) residential minimum. He asked whether a conditional use process could be
created to allow PW property owners in such situations to enclose an existing porch. By doing so, they would be
able to meet minimum residential square footage requirements, subject to conditions imposed by the Committee
to become more conforming with the ordinance.
Bartelt questioned whether the Committee’s goal was to bring non-conforming structures to conforming.
K. Nelson expressed caution about opening this door, noting it could result in structures being substantially
enlarged under a conditioned living space scenario combined with a twenty-three-foot (23’) height allowance.
Further, the minimum requirements were established after the nonconforming properties were built. Additionally,
he stressed that many of the properties in the PW district will never be conforming due to setbacks.
Hoyerman suggested that the right framing for a conditional use in such cases would be that the applicant is
asking for something but potentially giving something up in exchange, and that this quid pro quo logic could be
better codified in Section 7.
Bristol cautioned against trying to enumerate every possible scenario; the section is intentionally broad.
The Committee agreed that Section 7 provides the necessary latitude and guidance for such situations without
requiring exhaustive specification, and that these cases would still be subject to Plan Committee discretion.
The Committee discussed the broader goal of encouraging property owners to retain and work with their existing
structures rather than demolish and rebuild, noting this was the original purpose of the reproduction provision.
Bartelt revisited a fundamental question: whether the concern about attachments was specifically about preventing
them from being incorporated into a rearrangeable footprint and built up to a story and a half, or whether there
was a different concern.
K. Nelson affirmed that a porch-as-porch replacement was the intent — the porch footprint should remain one
story, while the main house footprint could go up to the one-and-a-half-story maximum.
Thorp moved, Bartelt seconded to adjourn at 2:05 PM.

Hi Brent,
Thanks for your time last week. The days fly by so fast - sorry we didn't get this email to you sooner!
Brian and I would like to request, on behalf of our client Ruann Larson, a concept review for the future
use of the property known as Ephraim Village Cottages. As you know, this property is legally described
as a condominium, The Ephraim Village Cottages Condominium, consisting of 13 units. The property is
run as a resort with the owner/operator living in the main residence/office at 3082 Larson Ln (unit
13). Units 3-12 are rental properties. In 2023, units 1 and 2 (9890 Water St) were sold to another party
and appear to be used as a single residence.
The property that the seller has retained us to market and sell consists of the remaining 11 units with the
following addresses:
3095 Birch St, Units 3 and 4 (Cozy Brook North and South) - duplex
3093 Birch St, Units 5 and 6 (Fireside North and South) - duplex
3085 Birch St, Unit 7 (Birchwood)
9849 Hidden Spring Rd, Unit 8 (Cedars)
9847 Hidden Spring Rd, Unit 9 (Sunnyview)
3092 Larson Ln, Unit 10 (Meadow View I)
3088 Larson Ln, Unit 11 (Meadow View II)
3084 Larson Ln, Unit 12 (Meadow View III)
3082 Larson Ln, Unit 13 (Main house/office)
As we discussed last week, our initial plan is to look for a buyer for the entire property (minus the one
sold building). If this approach is unsuccessful, we would like the option to sell all of the units
individually for personal use.
We anticipate new owners either using their cottage seasonally, making it a
Short Term Rental (with the proper permits), or a combination of both.
The current number of units on the property (pre-dating zoning) exceeds the allowed density for a
Multifamily Development. However, allowing this arrangement would effectively reduce the impact on
the residential neighborhood by cutting back significantly on turnover and number of rentals. It would
also likely result in the physical improvement and updating of each cottage, increasing the overall
property values on the tax rolls. Lastly, it would preserve a historic property in the village and preclude a
2
developer from razing all the cottages and building a multifamily condominium (as permitted in the
zoning code).
While we realize the above scenario will require a variance, we would like to ask the Plan Committee to
consider the concept, present questions, ideas, and concerns, and let us and the seller know if they
would support the concept should the Board of Appeals grant a variance.
Alternatively, as a third option and last resort, which we discussed would not require a variance, we
would like the Plan Committee to consider the concept of selling the main residence/office with three
other units to the same owner under the continued existing use. That owner would live in the residence
and continue to rent out the three units as a resort. The remaining 7 units would then meet the density
requirements for a Conditional Use of a Multifamily Development and could be sold individually for
residential use. The main house plus three units would be counted as one dwelling, the previously sold
duplex which has become a residence would be counted as the second dwelling, and the remaining
seven units could then be sold as residential cottages - maintaining the allowable density of nine (9)
units on a 2.39-acre parcel.
Attached is the plat map from the condo declaration. Please let us know if you need additional
information to present this request to the Plan Committee.
Best regards,
Sara Glenn and Brian Reinhardt

Hi Brent, all my cottages need to have their roofs replaced as soon as possible, so I’d like to approach my
renovation project differently than we discussed.
I’m good with keeping all the cottages closer to their current design and size, but I would like to make some
improvements while completing the roof repairs if possible.
Otherwise, I may have to rip off a brand new roof if I go back to make improvements later.
I’ve attached a new narrative, a current picture, a concept picture, and building plans that have my adjustments.
This is the smallest cottage which has no variance concerns due to proximity to boundary or water.

Here are a couple additional pictures of what I would have in mind for the other two cottages. I would
provide blueprint/plans for all 3 cottages prior to submitting permit.
The work on each cottage would be similar to cottage #1.
1) Remove exiting roofing structure
2) Extend walls up from 7 foot to 9 foot
3) Install new floor truss system
4) Install new roof with higher pitch than existing
5) Replace porch
No increase in primary foundation footprint
Increase in porch size in front portion of cottages only.
Thanks again,
Doug

Ok, great!
So, on the new plans and submittals the plans for cottage 1 are clear. On the other two you speak to
making some improvements in making the roof repairs/changes. Do you have any concepts of what
those changes/improvements would be?
Sincerely,
Brent Bristol
