Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hello, We still have concerns item "A" in new business. We would like to hear answers to how PORT WASHINGTON PUBLIC SAFFETY can build a new building for $32 millions for a combine building for the 2 departments? This owner's company was the one who kept on bring it up. Also, why is it that they are pushing this to be approved before the new administer Matthew starts on 6-22-26? What is the "RUSH"? Please explain. Please don't say the increase of prices either. Why can't it wait until the next V.B. Meeting in July 2026? We attached our email from 6-2-26 with our concerns then. Please reread the email. Still waiting for answers from anyone on these concerns. PLEASE REALLY THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE ON THIS! PLEASE REMEMBER TOO, NOT EVERYONE INCOME AND OR BUDGET IS THE SAME AS THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND OR THE VILLAGE EMPLOYEES. We aren't saying they don't need a new building. BUT Is this the right location for the police department? The right time? Still paying off the DPW BUILDING! Also, if Port Washington can do a combine building for the 2 departments. Then why can't Germantown do the same? They did it for $32 millions vs $35 millions for one ! Last question does PORT have "ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES" that the Germantown Police Dept. is demanding in this new building? Don't say it is location for the building either concerning the 2 departments. There is always the OLD FLOWER SOURCE PROPERTY. It has water and sewer already! That is a real big savings!!!! We NEVER hear anything about the "SAFE ROOM" being at the new police building. DRAFT Page 7 of 74 Also, this should be located on a "MEQUON RD AND OR PILGRIM RD", not at the OLD DPW AREA! Just because the village can "borrow more money", is that the right thing to do now? How will this effect each and resident in the village? We will be watching and listening. We expect to answers to all the questions too. Thank you for your time!

We have some questions as residents/ taxpayers that we need to ask directly of you. First, we understand the person who was speaking was a "resident" in Germantown. No problem. But he should leave it as that, and NOT get upset and express himself at that time. IT WAS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING! VERY UNFAIR, IF ANYONE ELSE WANED TO SPEAK UP AT THAT TIME! Very NONPROFESSIONAL by them. Yes, they did apologize but still wrong! YES, the residents understand the longer it takes to get the "DUCKS IN A ROW-THE MORE IT WILL COST" WE ARE NOT STUPID!! PLEASE REMEMBER-by-passing committee again and department making the decisions, not DRAFT Page 8 of 74 following "proper procedures" once again! It was to hear about the presentation. They keep on bring up PORT WASHINTON NEW PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING. We have questions on this vs GERMANTOWN. The building the same size as Germantown wants. CORRECT? They will have approximately 75 people's houses in their building-police and fire. Germantown has 49 police department employees and the fire would have on staff for duty 7 to 8 fire employees. CORRECT? So, if they are building their new PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING for $32 millions. WHY - can't Germantown do the same? Yes, we are not happy with the old DPW site. Due to extra cost for water and sewer and blasting for the bedrocks and anything else we forgot! NOT ON MEQUON ROAD EITHER! CENTRAL LOCATION!!! BUT If you could make this a JOINT PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING, MAYBE WE MIGHT BE ON BOARD FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. Then in the future makes "smaller sight for a "future fire house" Yes, we know it was said it is TOO CLOSE to the other firehouse BUT if you could put this together for the BUDGET OF MAYBE $35 millions and or less!!! JUST MAYBE WE GET ON BOARD FOR THAT!!! The president and fire chief is speaking of another new fire house already in years or less! Then to have it on the PUBLC SAFETY COMMITTE ALREADY! UNREAL! You can't agree on 2 items going on now! How much more will that be, talking already about MAKING IT THE NEW HEADQUATERS FOR THE FIRE DEPT! Think again! It is also coming across, the 2 chiefs "prefer" to have their own headquarters! Is the department going to be paying out of their own pockets for this? NOPE! ONCE AGAIN, THE TAXPAYERS WILL BE PAYING FOR IT! Or IT MIGHT COME FROM THE EMS COUNTY PROJECT? WHO KNOWS????? Will this be another DISPTACH ISSUE? DRAFT Page 9 of 74 How long it took! Still not fully staffed at dispatch either! SAD BUT TRUE! Where do you think the residents will be pulling this money together from? You really don't want us to tell what we really want to say! Can say MORE TAXES FOR SURE! Maybe, we should have the voters vote on the new buildings and all the wants and needs. You know how that will turn out. Just so you know, WE ARE NOT AGAINST PUBLIC SAFTEY. But you all forget who is paying for your wants and needs! Plus, salaries and benefits' too It has to be a "HAPPY BALANCE " for the TAXPAYERS and the departments. This is not coming across this way at all! VERY UNHAPPY BALANCE AS OF NOW!!!!! Also, all public safety rules should be the same for all involved. Not bend the rules to fit their needs. You want our support. Then we would like replies back on this topic. And If we don't, we will keep on coming back to get answers to the all questions! Thank you again for your time! The Schneider's P.S. It was said LOUD AND CLEAR-why do the residents even say anything anymore, because you just do want whatever you want, when you want. Well, you will still hear from us! You don't want to hear from all the time. Then do the right thing!

ACTION BY COMMITTEE: Page 24 of 74 BUSINESS OF THE VILLAGE BOARD MEETING DATE: July 6, 2026 PLACEMENT: Action Item ITEM TITLE: Brandon O'Bryon, Agent for Mark Posey and Randall Wendland, Property Owner, at W212 N11206 Meeker Hill Lane; Application to Rezone 2.1 acres from the R-2: Single-Family Residential to the B- 3: General Business District; and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Application to Allow the Operation of a Construction Service/Contractor Shop for a Tree Removal Business Operation. (ACTION) SUBMITTED BY: Jeff Retzlaff, Community Dev. Director SUMMARY EXPLANATION: Mark Posey and Randall Wendland, property owner, are requesting rezoning approval for a 2.1 acre parcel from the Rs-2 Single-Family District to the B-3: General Business District and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a tree removal business on the property located at W212 N11206 Meeker Hill Lane. Posey is a prospective purchaser of the 2.1-ac property and, subject to approval of the rezoning and conditional use permit applications, proposes to operate a tree removal business from the property. Posey operates “Just the Tree Guy LLC” an existing company located in Menomonee Falls, WI. The existing business rents space for equipment storage at the Billy Goat Mulch property located at N185 N7493 Narrow Lane, Menomonee Falls. If approved and the property acquired, “Just the Tree Guy LLC” will relocate all equipment storage and operations to the 2.1-acre subject property. The 2.1-acre property is located in the “Meeker Hill Neighborhood” under the Village’s 2050 Comprehensive Plan. The “Meeker Hill Neighborhood” is intended to develop as a low-density residential area. The proposed rezoning from the Rs-2: Single-Family District to the B-3: General Business District and proposed tree removal business on the property are not consistent with the intended and desirable use of the subject property under the Village’s 2050 Land Use Plan.

ACTION BY COMMITTEE: PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Motion to DENY the rezoning and conditional use permit applications as recommended by staff. Motion to Deny Passed (Yes 6, No 0, Abstained 0).

(PUBLIC HEARING & ACTION) Director Retzlaff went over the proposal and the history of the property and stated that the previous tree service was deemed to be an illegal/non-conforming business use of the property and violations were issued. He stated that there are several businesses zoned B-3 in that immediate area and said that it's catch-all to put businesses into that don't fit into any other zoning categories. He introduced Attorney O'Bryon who is representing the Posey family who operate a tree service in Menomonee Falls and wish to move their business to Germantown. He stated that the Posey's would like a building to store their equipment and parking for their employees, but most of the operations of the business will be done off-site. Chairman Soderberg opened the public hearing at 6:49pm. Residents that spoke included: Lynn Bednarz who lives on Pawnee Court stated that the local residents in that area do not want this in their neighborhood. 15 emailed comments were received that were opposed to this proposal. Chairman Soderberg closed the public hearing at 6:52pm. Discussion followed with Committee members mutually agreeing that this unusually shaped lot is not the correct place for this business. Staff recommends denial of the request to rezone a 2.1-acre property from the Rs-2: Single-Family Residential to the B-3: General Business District and the request to grant a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow operation of a construction services/contractor shop for a tree removal and firewood processing business on the property located at W212N11206 Meeker Hill Lane.

They are proposing almost 500 trees and shrubs around the property, Page 28 of 74 Ule-/\d(axd Debbie Remich 0.tt- Y From: Sent: To: Subject: noreply@civicplus.com Thursday, June 4, 2026 B:41 AM Comments Online Form Submittal: Meeting Comment Form for Committees and Village Board Do not click links or openments unlessthe sender and knowis safe.

I only want to submit my comments through this form. WI I Page 29 of 74 CommentsI am writing to respectfully oppose the rezoning request for W212N 1 1 206 Meeker Hill Lane from RS-2 Single Family Residentialto B-3 General Business, along with the related conditional use permit for a tree removal business, equipment storage/service, a large 64' x 1?0' polc barn, and rctail firowood saloe. This property is located near established residential neighborhoods, including Bavarian Woods and Mountbrooke Park, as well as the new residential development near the former quarry. These neighborhoods were designed and purchased as quiet residential communities. Rezoning this property to B-3 General Business would introduce a commercial operation that is not compatible with the surrounding residential character. My biggest concerns are traffic, safety, noise, and longterm neighborhood impact. A tree removal business with 10-15 employees, trucks, trailers, utility vehicles, heavy equipment, and daily coming-and-going would create a significant increase in traffic near residential streets. ln addition, neighbors have raised concerns that visibility coming out of the property is limited, especially to the east, which creates a safety concern for nearby residents, children, and drivers. The proposed use would also bring noise and disruption that is far beyond normal residential activity Tree service equipment, truck movement, trailer loading, firewood handling, equipment maintenance, and employee traffic would all negatively affect the peaceful conditions residents currently enjoy. The retail firewood component is also a major concern Retail sales would bring additional customer traffic, possible weekend activity, signage, Iighting, and the risk of further commercial expansion. This makes the request more than simple equipment storage - it creates an active business destination in a residential atea. The proposed 54' x '120' pole barn is also very large for this setting and would change the visual character of the area. Nearby residents have invested significantly in their homes, subdivisions, and 2 Page 30 of 74 t\ neighborhood amenities, including Mountbrooke's pickleballcourts, pond, beach area, and shared residential spaces. A commercial tree removal/firewood operation would negatively affect the quality and character of these neighborhoods. I also worry about the precedent this rezoning would set. Once a residential property is rezoned to B-3 General Business, future commercial uses may extend beyond the applicant's current stated plans. This could open the door to additional commercial encroachment near established subdivisions. For these reasons, I ask the Village to deny the rezoning request and conditional use permit. This type of business belongs in an industrial park, business park, or rural commercial area - not in the middle of established residential neighborhoods. Thank you for considering the concerns of nearby residents and protecting the residential character of this area. Email not displaying correctly?

I only want to submit my comments through this form. WI Page 32 of 74 CommentsDear Members of the Plan Commission, As a local resident, I am writing to express my opposition to the rezoning and conditional use applications for W212Nl 1206 Meeker Hill Lane. Converting this parcel from RS-2 to B-3 General Business to establish a tree service and retailfirewood business directly threatens the safety, peace, and long-term value of our neighborhoods. Families chose the Bavarian Woods and Mountbrooke subdivisions specifically for their quiet, residential character. lntroducing an industrial-scale operation- complete with a 54' x 120' pole barn, heavy machinery, and constant employee and customer traffic-will fundamentally degrade the character of these spaces. Beyond the severe noise and visual disruptions, the traffic safety risks are deeply concerning. Navigating heavy trucks and trailers, employee vehicle traffic and coming and going of retail customers poses a direct threat to neighborhood children and drivers. Furthermore, the retail firewood component ensures that business disruption will spill into nights and weekends. Perhaps most concerning is the long-term precedent. Rezoning this land to B-3 creates and opens the door to future commercial expansion right next to our backyards.

I only want to submit my comments through this form. WI 1 Page 34 of 74 CommentsI am writing to respectfully oppose the rezoning request for W212N11206 Meeker Hill Lane from RS-2 Single Family Residentialto B-3 General Business, along with the related conditional use permit for a tree removal business, equipment storage/service, a large 54' x 120' pole barn, and retail firewood sales. This property is located near established residential neighborhoods, including Bavarian Woods and Mountbrooke Park, as well as the new residential development near the former quarry. These neighborhoods were designed and purchased as quiet residential communities. Rezoning this property to B-3 General Business would introduce a commercial operation that is not compatible with the surrounding residential character. My biggest concerns are long{erm neighborhood impact, noise, safety and traffic. This proposed tree removal business with create a significant increase in traffic near these residential areas with 10-15 employees, trucks, trailers, utility vehicles, heavy equipment, and daily coming-and_ going. ln addition, multiple neighbors have raised concerns that visibility coming out of the property is limited, especially to the east, which creates a safety concern for nearby residents, children, and drivers. We have residents that walk along those roads, and this would be an added hazard for them. prior the new Mequon bridge that was constructed over Hwy 4.1, there were dump trucks going back and forth to the dump site on Hwy 175. The noise from those trucks was not appreciated, and we would have to move at our own risk getting in and out of our subdivisions. There was also increased trash on the roadside, as there was no appreciation in using trash receptacles instead of throwing things out the window. The proposed use would also bring noise and disruption that is far beyond normal residential activity. Tree service equipment, truck movement, trailer loading, firewood handling, equipment maintenance, and employee traffic would all negatively affect the peaceful conditions residents currenfly enjoy. We have all worked hard to have homes that we are proud of. The retail firewood component is also a major concern 2 Page 35 of 74 Retail sales would bring additional customer traffic, possible weekend activity, signage, lighting, and the risk of further commercial expansion. This makes the request more than simple equipment storage - it creates an active business destination in a residential area. The proposed 54' x 120' pole barn is also very large for this setting and would change the visual character of the area. We have a lot of wildlife in our neighborhoods, and we do not want them to be displaced because of a business that could establish in another area. Nearby residents have invested significantly in their homes, subdivisions, and neighborhood amenities, including Mountbrooke's pickleball courts, pond, beach area, and shared residential spaces. A commercial tree removal/firewood operation would negatively affect the quality and character of these neighborhoods. l, along with my neighbors, worry about the precedent this rezoning would set. Once a residential property is rezoned to B-3 General Business, future commercial uses may extend beyond the applicant's current stated plans. This could open the door to additional commercial encroachment near established subdivisions. We purchased our lots and built our homes with the thought that it was a quiet area, away from businesses. For these reasons, I ask the Village to deny the rezoning request and conditional use permit. With all of the current changes in today's world, I would like to come home and be able to decompress and enjoy my time outside. This type of business belongs in an industrial park, business park, or rural commercial area - not in the middle of established residential neighborhoods.

The concerns are primarily relate to additional unneeded traffic, unsightly building and noise in an area designated (and best suited for residential housing). While the application indicated this is a continuation of the historical lot usage (tree cutting business), the historical usage did not include a large building, noise or 15 employees. This was historically a very quiet, unused lot. The feedback we consistenfly obtain from Germantown residents is that we need more single family home/ lot opportunities. This lot should remain R2 zoning as originally intended. The seller will have no difficulty selling this R2 lot and has received competing offers (with no zoning change). please appose and keep this lot zoned for its intended use. lwould like to remain anonymous please Email not displaying correcfly?

I only want to submit my comments through this form. Page 39 of 74 CommentsWe significantly and respectively oppose this rezoning. This property is behind our house and there is concern regarding the noise, traffic, and impact on the aesthetics of this residential area (including a large barn, visible equipment, signage, etc.). ln addition, this property is located in close proximity to 2 established neighborhoods (Mountbrooke park and Bavarian Woods). The residents of these neighborhoods elected to live in this area due to the quiet, non-commercial location. Turning this into a business will create constant activity and traffic, including on weekends. This would also create safety concerns due to the fact this driveway is challenging to see and having large equ ipmenVvehicles and customer traffic significanfl y increase would present opportunities for accidents. Also from a safety perspective, many of these homes include young children and the added traffic in the area would raise additional concern with those kids crossing Meeker Hill Lane. There would also not be adequate parking due to the location which would likely result in people parking on the street on a curve that is already a tight roadway. Rezoning this property could also set a negative precedent in terms of turning residential properties into commercial areas. We respectfully request that the Village deny the rezoning request and conditional use permit. please allow the residents to enjoy the current, peaceful environment we have chosen and the residential character of the location.

This is our neighborhood. We deliberately chose the area because it is peaceful, has limited traffic and is almost entirely residential. The addition of a tree processing facility so close to our homes will bring disruption, noise and traffic. Large trucks, processing equipment and a large pole barn don't belong here. There are numerous other settings where a business like this would be appropriate - but this is not one of them. I am hopeful that this board will consider the strong opposition from the people who actually live here and deny the rezoning. I fear if this proposal goes through, we will be on a slippery slope of over-development in our area. Not every empty lot needs a business. Email not displaying correcfly?

Learn whv this is important Dear Germantown Board, I recently became aware of a rezoning request for a property at W212N11206 Meeker Hill Lane, in which a proposed new owner of this property wants to have it rezoned from RS-2 Single Family Residentialto B-3 General Business Zoning as well as obtaining a Conditional Use Permit for the purpose of operating a tree removal business with 10-15 employees and construction of a large pole barn measuring roughly 54'xt2O' I am the president of the Mountbrooke Park homeowner's association, and want to voice our collective opposition to this proposed change. This is a quiet residential area, and we are very concerned about opening such a business on this property and constructing such a large pole barn.

Wendland rezoning request Date: May 26, 2026 at 3:43 PM To: Peggy Marshall pmarshall4@wi.rr.com I am the former President of Mountbrooke Subdivision which is located 500 feet east of the Wendland property on Mequon Road. The Wendland proposal including a 54 by a 120 pole barn would be located right in the middle ot three of the best subdivisions in Germantown. The visability coming out of the Wendland property is totally blind to the east and is very dangerous especially for truck and utility vehicles with someone likely to get hurt including a lot of small children in the area. This is detinitely not a good spot for a landscape company especially with the millions of dollars already spent on the beautilul quarry project next door. At Mountbrooke we are spending $80,000 to $90,000 on converling our tennis courts to pickle ball courts in addition to spending close to $45,000 upgrading our pond and beach area. Bottom line - a landscape business needs to be located in a business park or out in the country away from faffic.

Good evening my husband and I are speaking out to say that we are not in favor of the property at Meeker Hill being rezoned. There are too many commercial properties now trying to move into areas that were not designed for commercial buildings .We want this to the remain a residential area. We moved here for more scenic and quiet, living . The traffic on Mequon Road is already busy enough .We also believe it is not safe for the exit and entrance that will be coming out of that driveway. The day that the truck was transporting the house , I personally came around the corner and had to stop abruptly. I also attended the meeting three years ago on building houses by the quarry. I was told at that time that the road would be fixed between hilltop and Appleton Avenue, the road is still not fixed and you’re going to have heavy machinery that is going to beat the road up even more.This area was built to be a residential area the road is not equipped or wide enough to handle all of this traffic.We have enough noise here already with the traffic that is on Mequon road and that will be adding to it with more trucks and moving equipment.

As indicated in the applications and supporting documents, Posey is a prospective purchaser of the 2.1-ac property and, subject to approval of the rezoning and conditional use permit applications, Posey proposes to operate a tree removal business from the property. Posey is the registered agent for “Just the Tree Guy LLC”, an existing company registered with the State of Wisconsin associated with the address at W171 N8458 Allen Ave, Menomonee Falls, WI. The existing business rents space for equipment storage at the Billy Goat Mulch property located at N185 N7493 Narrow Lane, Menomonee Falls. If the rezoning and CUP applications are approved and the property acquired as proposed, “Just the Tree Guy LLC” will relocate all equipment storage and operations to the 2.1-acre subject property. Business activities proposed include: • Most firewood will be delivered to customers offsite. • Firewood will be staged along the west property line along the lower driveway portion of the lot. Some customers may pick up from this same area by appointment only. This keeps any non-employee visits near the entrance of the property. • No grinding of wood will happen on the property. • Applicant does not intend to do mulching at this time. All chipping is done at customer’s sites (offsite) and then chips are taken to the dump, no chips would be coming back to the Property • Wood intended for firewood would be temporarily stored along the east side property line south of the proposed building; it would be processed in this same area. Cutting and splitting firewood would happen in this area only during business hours, or hours acceptable to the Village. • The purpose of the proposed 50’x120’ building is to house nearly all equipment indoors. • Employee vehicles would park along the west side of the lot line opposite of the proposed building. As part of the business operation, Posey proposes constructing a 54’ x 120’ (6,480 sqft) pole barn to store and service equipment. The business currently employes 10-15 employees. Hours of operation are proposed to be from 7:30am until dusk (generally 5:00 pm on December 22 and 9:00pm on June 22). Page 53 of 74 Rezoning & CUP Randall Wendland / Mark Posey Page 3 of 5 Staff Comments Land Use The 2.1-acre property is located in the “Meeker Hill Neighborhood” under the Village’s 2050 Comprehensive Plan. The “Meeker Hill Neighborhood” is intended to develop as a low-density residential area: “Desirable future land uses within the Meeker Hill Neighborhood include open space, recreational areas, agricultural and hobby farm uses, and limited residential development”… “Other than the pre-existing commercial parcels along Appleton Avenue, no additional commercial uses are intended to develop in this neighborhood.” [2050 Comprehensive Plan page 75] With respect to pre-existing commercial and other non-residential land uses, future development/re-development under current zoning is allowed, but new commercial, industrial, and other non-residential uses are not allowed. The proposed rezoning from Rs-2: Single-Family Residential to B-3: General Business and the proposed tree removal business on the property are not consistent with the intended and desirable use of the subject property under the Village’s 2050 Land Use Plan. Historical Use In the applications and supporting documents, the Applicant states that the property was used by the current owner to conduct a tree removal business including the storage of equipment and timber and, consequently, this proposal is a continuation of said historical use. This is the only argument provide in support of why the proposed rezoning should be approved. While it is true that the current owner, Randall Wendland, started using the property for a tree service business (“Wendland Tree Service”) back in 2002, that use was unlawful under the Village’s 2020 “Smart Growth” Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the (still current) Rs-2: Single-Family Residential Zoning District within which the property is located. After receiving code violation notices for illegally operating a commercial business in a residential zoning district, Wendland made multiple attempts in the years 2004-2006 to rezone the property. In 2004, Wendland filed an application to rezone the property from the existing Rs-2: Single-Family District into the M-1: Limited Industrial District which was eventually denied by the Village Board in 2005. In 2005, Wendland filed applications to revise the 2020 Land Use Plan designation for the property from “Industrial/Office” to “Commercial” and to rezone the property from the Rs-2: Single-Family District to the B- 1: Neighborhood Business District. Those applications were denied by the Village Board in 2006. Since 2002, when Wendland first began cutting and storing firewood on the property that led to code violation notices being issued and eventually to a Circuit Court decision in favor of the Village dismissing Wendland’s complaint and request for an injunction and restraining order against the Village, Wendland’s use of the property for a tree services business has never been a legal or code compliant use of the property. Staff does NOT agree with the Applicant’s argument that the illegal non-conforming “historical” use of the property is justification to rezone the property. Page 54 of 74 Rezoning & CUP Randall Wendland / Mark Posey Page 4 of 5 Surrounding Uses It’s interesting to note that, In making their decision back in 2006 to deny the previous rezoning request, the Village Clerk summarized in a July 26, 2005 letter to Wendland “that there is substantial residential development surrounding this [Wendland’s 2.1-acre] property, and if and when the quarry is reclaimed, in all likelihood it would also be developed as residential”. This reasoning and observation proved prophetic given that a quarry reclamation plan for the 126-ac quarry site was approved in 2023 for a fifteen (15) lot private residential neighborhood rezoned into an Rs-2: Single-Family Zoning District. This area known as the “Moraine Development PDD” is located west and north of the 2.1-acre Wendland property. Equal in importance to this matter is the fact that another residential neighborhood, Bavarian Woods, was approved for development in 2007 with a majority of the twenty-three (23) single-family lots built in 2008-2009. Bavarian Woods is located north and east of the Wendland property. Other existing residential uses are located adjacent to and south of the Wendland property, south across Meeker Hill Lane, the 45-lot Mountbrooke neighborhood to the southeast (developed 1970-85), and the 18-lot Country Belle Manor neighborhood to the west (developed in 2005-2015). Other uses in the area along Meeker Hill Lane include a small multi-tenant office and apartment building, bar & restaurant (Bixenberg Tavern), carpet cleaning services (Rickmeyer LLC), and used car sales (Meeker Hill Auto). All these businesses are pre- existing with all the properties being zoned B-3: General Business since the 1970’s or earlier. As stated previously, under the 2050 Plan, these “non-conforming” businesses are allowed to continue operating as allowed under existing zoning. Proposed Zoning & Conditional Use Section 17.30 of the Zoning Code states that the B-3: District is intended to: “…provide for the orderly continuation and revitalization of the older established Main Street central business district…of the Village where uses are not exclusively of one type but, rather, mixed and include retail sales shops, wholesale and warehousing outlets, and institutional, recreational and residential uses. Many of the existing businesses in this district may not meet the requirements of the B-1 or B-2 Districts. It is the intent of this district to provide minimum requirements for all new uses of land within the district and a guide for the redevelopment or revitalization of existing uses of land within the district…” In other words, the B-3 District, commonly referred to as the “junk drawer” district of the Zoning Code, was created and assigned to small, pre-existing parcels/properties with a mixture of residential and retail businesses in existence at the time the Zoning Code was first created because those parcels didn’t “fit” into any of the other business districts created in the Code. That’s why the list of permitted uses is so extensive and restrictions such as building setbacks and lot coverage are so generous. In Staff’s opinion, the B-3 District is not one that should necessarily be expanded by adding new property into it, but rather only be used to guide re-development of those properties already located within a B-3 District. New businesses should be located on property that complies with the 2050 Land Use Plan classifications that allow for it and on parcels Page 55 of 74 Rezoning & CUP Randall Wendland / Mark Posey Page 5 of 5 created (or existing) that meet the requirements of the B-1: Neighborhood, B-2: Community, B-4: Professional Office, or B-5: Highway Business Districts. Moreover, once a property is located in a particular business district, like the B-3 District, the allowable uses of that property are as set forth in the district regulations. As mentioned previously, the B-3 District has an extensive list of uses that are allowed with a conditional use permit and an even longer list of uses permitted “by right”. Many of these uses have the potential for having significant greater and possibly negative impacts on surrounding property than the single-family residential uses that comprise most of the land uses surrounding the Wendland property. For the reasons discussed above, Staff does NOT support the request to rezone the property from the Rs-2: Single-Family District to B-3: General Business District (nor the proposed “construction services/contractor shop” conditional use that requires rezoning of the property as a pre-requisite). DENY the request to rezone a 2.1-acre property from the Rs-2: Single-Family Residential to the B-3: General Business District and the request to grant a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow operation of a construction services/contractor shop for a tree removal and firewood processing business on the property located at W212 N11206 Meeker Hill Lane.

Residential zoning within this neighborhood is predominantly Rs-4 (2.2 DU’s/acre with minimum 20,000 sqft lots) and Rs-3 (1.0 DU’s/acre with minimum 1-acre lots). Mobile Home Park (MHP) zoning allows a density of 4.4 DU’s/acre with 6,000 sqft “lots”). There are a few commercially zoned properties located at the intersection of Mequon Road and Appleton Avenue. There is approximately 100 acres of mineral extraction area located in the Meeker Hill neighborhood which is inactive and privately owned. Transportation The Meeker Hill neighborhood is bounded by the western limits of the Village and I-41 to the east. The neighborhood extends approximately ¼ mile south of Mequon Road. Mequon Road connects the Meeker neighborhood to Lannon Road to the east, which connects to I-41. Environmental, Natural & Agricultural There are environmental areas located in the east central and northwestern portions of the neighborhood. There is approximately 100 acres of mineral extraction area located in the Meeker neighborhood which is inactive and privately owned. There are scattered sites of agricultural row cop production throughout the neighborhood. Public Park, Education, Safety & Utility This neighborhood is located outside the Sewer Service Area. Residential lots are served by onsite septic and well water. Page 67 of 74 75 5: Neighborhoods, Districts, & Corridors PREFERRED FUTURE LAND USE Meeker Hill Neighborhood Desirable future land uses within the Meeker Hill Neighborhood include open space, recreational areas, agricultural and hobby farm uses, and limited residential development given that this neighborhood is currently outside the sewer service area. Future residential development is acceptable at an average density of 1 DU/5 acres for 4 or fewer individual lots created by minor land division (certifi ed survey map), or 1 DU/3 acres for 5 or greater conservation subdivision lots. No new or expanded mobile home development is intended to occur in the neighborhood. In the event that the SSA is expanded and public sewer and water facilities extended into this neighborhood, future residential development is acceptable at an Preferred Future Land Uses Enviro Corr.

Other than the pre-existing commercial parcels along Appleton Avenue, no additional commercial uses are intended to develop in this neighborhood. D = Desirable – These uses should be encouraged because they are consistent with, support, and enhance the desired character of the area. A = Allowable – These uses are generally considered appropriate for the area, but may require additional consideration and/or specifi c modi fi cation or developed features to be compatible with other uses in the area. u = Undesirable – These uses should not be encouraged but may still be acceptable for the area under special circumstances. See all notes on page 42. Page 68 of 74 17.30 ‐ B‐3 GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT . (Am. Ord. #16‐17)   The B-3 District is intended to provide for the orderly continuation and revitalization of the older established Main Street "central business district" (including the area designated as "Village Mixed Use" on the Future Land Use Plan) area of the Village where uses are not exclusively of one type but, rather, mixed and include retail sales shops, wholesale and warehousing outlets, and institutional, recreational and residential uses. Many of the existing businesses in this district may not meet the requirements of the B-1 or B-2 Districts. It is the intent of this district to provide minimum requirements for all new uses of land within the district and a guide for the redevelopment or revitalization of existing uses of land within the district. Further, it is intended that the conversion of buildings located in the historic Main Street area and categorized as "Village Mixed Use" on the Village's Land Use Plan map from a residential use to a business use or from a business use to a residential use can occur provided that such conversion does not create conflicts with other nearby land uses, or, that impede the intended transformation of the Main Street area into a pedestrian-oriented retail and entertainment area.
