VILLAGE OF FOX POINT MILWAUKEE COUNTY WISCONSIN VILLAGE HALL 7200 N. SANTA MONICA BLVD. FOX POINT WI 53217-3505 414-351-8900 FAX 414-351-8909 To: Plan Commission From: Kevin Ausman, Assistant Village Manager CC: Steve Kreklow, Village Manager Date: May 4, 2026 Re: Chipstone Electrical Generator – Cultural Overlay Overview Uihlein Electric, on behalf of the Chipstone Foundation, has applied for a permit to allow a backup generator on the property located at 7820 North Club Circle. The Village Attorney has determined that the existing property is governed by Cultural Overlay approval and a modification of the site to allow a generator requires formal approval under Section 745-22 Cultural Overlay District of the Fox Point Municipal Code (LINK). Background The Chipstone Foundation operates a museum on the subject property and entered into an agreement for the operations of such facility with the Village in 1988 under Cultural Overlay authority. Request The property owner is requesting to add a backup generator on the east facade of the principal structure, immediately adjacent to the rear of the building, and located 151ft from the side yard (north) property line and 96ft from the rear yard (east) property line. The applicable underlying setbacks of the A-1 Residence District are 20ft side yard and 20ft rear yard, which the subject property easily meets. Process On April 14, 2026, the Village Board referred the request to the Plan Commission for study and investigation after finding that the proposed generator is not a material change to the existing Cultural Overlay and waived a requirement of a public hearing. The Plan Commission will then make a recommendation, before the Village Board makes a determination. Recommendation The Plan Commission, in making its recommendation to the Village Board, shall give consideration to and satisfy themselves as to the following: (1) That the proposed development is consistent with the spirit and intent of the chapter; is in conformity with the general character of the Village, and would not be contrary to the general welfare and economic prosperity of the Village or the immediate neighborhood. (2) That the project appears economically sound and that there are or adequate arrangements have been made to reasonably assure the continued maintenance of the development. (3) That the contemplated use will not: (a) Cause material depreciation in property values in the immediate neighborhood, nor (b) Materially adversely affect the use and enjoyment of property in the immediate neighborhood. (4) The setbacks will be maintained along any boundary street of the project area as required by the basic zoning district. (5) That no building will be permitted closer to the side or rear boundary line of the project area than required by the applicable side or rear yard requirements of the adjoining zoning district abutting along a side or rear property line of the project. (6) That no building shall exceed the height limitation of the basic zoning district. (7) That the project will not create traffic beyond the capacity of the street system to reasonably serve it, and that there will be adequate off-street parking based upon the need generated by the proposed project. (8) That the care and maintenance of the grounds and buildings comprising such project will be assured by the establishment of an appropriate management organization, or by the Village with the cost to be charged as a special assessment, and that the Village shall have the right to perform such maintenance work as it feels reasonably necessary to properly maintain the building and grounds, if this is not otherwise taken care of, and to levy the cost thereof as a special assessment. Any such special assessment shall be due and payable and collectible as all other special assessments, even though the property may be exempt from general real estate taxes, in whole or in part. Should the Plan Commission feel that the considerations detailed under Section 745-22 and listed above are satisfied, Staff recommends the Plan Commission recommend the Village Board approve the request subject to any conditions which may arise during discussion. Re: THE CHIPSTONE FOUNDATION February 1I,2026 Village of Fox Point 7200 N Santa Monica Boulevard Fox Point, Wl53217 Proposed Backup Generator 7820 North Club Circle, Fox Point, WI To Whom It May Concern: The Chipstone Foundation would like to place a backup generator on its museum property located at7820 North Club Circle in Fox Point. The property experiences frequent power outages during storms. Since the museum houses the Foundation's collection, a backup generator will help protect the collection during those power outages. The generator will be placed on the east side of the museum, between the museum and the ravine, where an existing half wall will shield the generator from view. The Chipstone Foundation has requested that Uihlein Electric submit the necessary application to the Village on its behalf. By signing this letter, the undersigned hereby confirms that The Chipstone Foundation has authorized Uihlein Electric to submit the application and any supporting information on its behalf. If you need any additional information or confirmation of the authority granted to Uihlein Electric, please contact me at 414-238-6255 or edunn@chipstone.org. Sincerely, The Chipslone Foundation General Counsel, Sec'y, Asst. Treasurer 7So North Lincoln Memorial Drive Suite 4o5 Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53zoz Telephone 4t4.22o.492r Facsimile 4r4.22o.429t Statement of Intended Use – Backup Generator Installation This statement is submitted in response to the requirement for a description of the general character of the intended use of the premises, including the days of the week and hours of the day during which people will be permitted on site. The intended use of the premises is the installation and maintenance of a standby generator system to provide backup electrical power in the event of a utility outage. The generator will serve as an emergency power source only and will not be used for continuous or routine power generation. All installation, testing, and related labor activities will be conducted during normal weekday business hours. Work is anticipated to occur Monday through Friday, unless otherwise approved. No regular evening, overnight, weekend, or public access use is proposed as part of this installation. Once installed, the generator will remain on-site in a standby capacity and will operate only during power outages or during brief, scheduled testing in accordance with applicable codes and manufacturer requirements.
