Petitioner/Agent: Michael LaRue 2. Property Owner: Archives and Armory PMML Wisconsin LLC 3. Location/Address: 10475 12TH ST 4. Tax key Number(s): 82-4-222-181-0201 82-4-222-182-0202 82-4-222-172-0206 82-4-222-172-0405 5. Area: 285.8 acres 6. Existing Zoning: PR-1 Park-Recreational Dist., I-1 Institutional Dist., C-1 Lowland Resource Conservancy Dist. 7. Proposed Zoning: no change proposed PROJECT OVERVIEW: The Petitioner proposes a Certified Survey Map (CSM) for the purpose of reconfigur ing lots for the Pritzker Military Museum & Library, the Cold War Veterans Memorial, and the Mission 94 Firearms Education Center. P LANNER COMMENTS: The lands owned by Archives and Armory PMML Wisconsin LLC are currently zoned PR -1 Park-Recreational Dist., I-1 Institutional Dist., and C-1 Lowland Resource Conservancy Dist. and will not change as a result of the proposed CSM. The Petitioner’s application states the purpose for the CSM is for “separating parcels for the Pritzker Military Museum & Library, Cold War Veterans Memorial, & Mission 94 Firearms Education Center for business clarity” – these areas of the property are currently all located on one lot. T he proposed boundary of Lot 3 on the CSM may need to be revised to encompass the stormwater pond that serves the Mission 94 Firearms Education Center – the current layout places the pond on Lot 1 of the CSM. The Village engineer should confirm if the pond needs to be located on the same Lot as the Mission 94 facility. I f it is determined that the northern lot line of Lot 3 needs to be extended northward to include the pond, a suggestion would be to set its north lot boundary as the ordinary high water mark of the “Unnamed Tributary No. 13 to the Kilbourn Road Ditch”, similar to that pictured to the right. 6 RPT 2026-09-28 - Pritzker CSM - 2 - The submitted Certified Survey Map overall generally complies with the Village of Somers Land Division and Platting Control Ordinance. Listed below are several revisions to be made to the CSM prior to its recordation in the Kenosha County Register of Deeds office. S TAFF RECOMMENDATION: Should the Plan Commission choose to recommend approval of this CSM, staff would recommend the following conditions: 1.

(2) Under the ownership note, include the address of the property owner. (3) Remove references on all applicable Sheets to Lot 4 being “Lot 1 of CSM 2967”. (4) Amend the boundary of Lot 3 so that the Mission 94 facility and its associated stormwater pond are located on the same Lot (if required by Village engineering). (5) Add/label wetland, floodplain, and shoreland boundaries to the face of the CSM. (6) Add/label the waterways known as “ Kilbourn Road Ditch” and “Unnamed Tributary No. 13 to the Kilbourn Road Ditch” to the face of the CSM. (7) Add the following note to the face of the CSM: “Any land below the ordinary high water mark of a lake or navigable stream is subject to the public trust in navigable waters that is established under article IX, section 1, of the state constitution”. (8) On Sheet 8 of 8 under the ‘Village of Somers Certificate’ section, revise “Village Chairman” to read “Village President”, and “Village Clerk” to read “Village Clerk/Treasurer”. b.

Note that Wis. Stat. 66.1001(3) requires that ordinances (including rezoning applications) must be consistent with the adopted comprehensive land use plan map. If you are submitting for comprehensive land use plan map amendment simultaneous to other development applications and the comprehensive land use plan map amendment is denied, it may cause the subsequent applications (i.e. rezoning application, conditional use permit application) and the intended land use to be moot and not able to be entertained).

If you are submitting a Rezoning Application (REZO), work with Planning & Development staff to prepare and attach a map of the subject area showing current zoning map classifications and a map of the subject area showing proposed zoning map classifications. Note: Agricultural Use Conversion Charge The use value assessment system values agricultural land based on the income that would be generated from its rental for agricultural use rather than its fair market value. When a person converts agricultural land to a non -agricultural use (e.g. residential or commercial development), that person may owe a conversion charge. To obtain more information about the use value law or conversion charge, contact the Wisconsin Department of Revenue’s Equalization Section at 608-266-2149 or visit https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/SLF/useval-uvindx.aspx or https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/FAQS/slf-usevalue.aspx. Note that the act of rezoning property from an agricultural zoning district to a non -agricultural zoning district does not necessarily trigger the agricultural use conversion charge. It is when the use of the property changes from agricultural that the conversion charge is assessed. 4.

Petitioner/Agent: FASLI FERATI 2. Property Owner: FN FERATI FAMILY TRUST 3. Location/Address: 985 22ND AVE 4. Tax key Number(s): 83-4-223-073-0111 5. Area: 19.5 acres 6. Existing Zoning: A- 2 General Agricultural Dist., C-1 Lowland Resource Conservancy Dist. 7. Proposed Zoning: R-4 Urban Single-Family Residential Dist., C-1 Lowland Resource Conservancy Dist. PROJECT OVERVIEW: The Petitioner proposes to divide the existing parcel into one (1) 0.349-acre Lot and one (1) 19.329-acre Lot via a Certified Survey Map (CSM). PLANNER COMMENTS: The subject property is currently zoned A- 2 General Agricultural District and C-1 Lowland Resource Conservancy District . The property contains a single -family residence and detached garage on the southwest corner of the property which the petitioner proposes to separate off on its own Lot (Lot 1 of the CSM). The remainder of the property (Lot 2 of the CSM) would be left as a vacant 19 -acre parcel. The subject property is proposed to be rezoned to R -4 Urban Single-Family Residential Dist. to align with the property’s designated land use ca tegory of ‘Medium -Density Residential’ , except for wetland areas identified on the Wisconsin Wetland Inventory Map which would be rezoned to C -1 Lowland Resource Conservancy Dist. The Kenosha County Highway Dept. has reviewed the proposed CSM and has indicated that CTH Y (22 nd Avenue) is planned to be 120 ’ wide highway right-of-way. Therefore, the CSM will need to be revised to show additional right-of-way dedicated to the public so that the eastern half of the CTH Y right-of-way is 60 feet. If the additional area to be dedicated to the public causes the area of Lot 1 to fall below 15,000 sq. ft., Lot 1 will need to be adjusted so that it has at least 15,000 sq. ft. to meet the minimum R-4 zoning standard. The submitted Certified Survey Map generally complies with the Village of Somers Land Division and Platting Control Ordinance, however there are a few revisions noted below that should be made to the CSM prior to its recordation in the Kenosha County Register of Deeds office. 23 RPT 2026-09-28 - Ferati Rezone & CSM - 2 - STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Should the Plan Commission choose to recommend approval of this CSM, staff would recommend the following conditions: 1. The Certified Survey Map shall be subject to the following: a. Subject to making the following revisions to the CSM: (1) Add a note indicating the proposed Lots will be served by municipal sewer. (2) Show additional public right-of-way dedication so that the total right-of-way width of the eastern half of CTH Y is 60 feet. Label the 60 feet of right-of-way as “Dedicated to the Public”.
