Motion by Vice Chairman Naze to approve the Minutes from the Plan Commission Meeting from May 7,

5. DISCUSSION/ACTIONITEMS
a. Discussion/Action regarding a Special Exception for an Accessory Structure located iu front
of the primary residence' for property Jocated at 1250 St. Augustine Rd (fKN:
VlO _ 076200F) ~ Chris & Jennifer Stamer, Petitioners/ Owner
Administrative Services Coordinator Calder gave a brief introduction of the agenda item. The property is
expansive in tenns of the number of acres, but due to the topography, it makes the placement of an accessory
structure impractical. The road view,ofthis property is heavily screened by trees, so the impact to the
surrounding property will be minimal.
Motion by Connnissioner Wittig to direct Staff to prepare a decision document to conditionally approve
the petition by Chris and Jennifer Shimer, for property located at 1250 St. Augustine Road (TKN:
VI O 076200F), to allow a proposed accessory structure to be placed ahead of the single-family home as
depicted on the site plan, subject to the following Specific Conditions of Approval:
Specific Conditions of Approval:
l. The applicant receives a building permit from the Building Inspection Department and satisfies
any requirements for the construction of said accessory building.
2. The applicant signs the decision document accepting these and any other conditions the Plan
Commission finds prudent and necessary.

Plan Commission Meeting Minutes
July 9, 2026 17:00 PM
1. The applicant shall satisfy all comments, conditions, and concerns of the Village Administrator,
Planning and Zoning Administrator, Village Engineer, Village Planner, Village Attorney and
Village Building Inspector.
2. Any unpaid bills owed to the Village by the subject property owner or his or her tenants,
operators or occupants, for reimbursement of professional fees (as described above); or for
personal property taxes; of for real property taxes; or for licenses, permit fees, or any other fees
owed to the Village; shall be placed upon the tax roll for the subject property if not paid within
thirty (30) days of the billing by the Village, pursuant to Section 66.0627, Wisconsin Statutes.
Such unpaid bills also constitute a breach of the requirements of this conditional approval that is
subject to all remedies available to the Village, including possible cause for termination of this
approval.
Seconded by Vice Chairman Naze. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
b. Discussion regarding potential amendments to Chapters 170 and 170A of the Zoning
Code
Chairman Otto asked if the Plan Commission for their thoughts on allowing staff to approve some special
exceptions that were 'straight forward'. Trustee Lietzau stated he was supportive of the idea if staff felt
comfortable doing so.
Vice Chairman Naze said it was concerning to see homes allowed to have garages that are 20,000 sq. ft.
in size in residential zoning districts.
Discussion between Commission Members and Staff occurred regarding max height of accessory
structures and maximum floor area for garages, but is not a part of our existing Code of Ordinances.
Commissioner Wittig spoke to allowing for increased max height to allow for the use of storage trusses
but said there should be a max height.
Chairman Otto spoke aboutrnofpitch and how that impacts the height of the structure. He stated that 8/12
pitch should probably be the max. Trustee Lietzau felt anything taller than 25 feet should require a special
exception and a deed restriction.
Village Staff indicated they would be worldng on proposed amendments to the Zoning Code to reflect the
Plan Commission's direction. It was_ indicated that in the next 1-2 months we will have some ordinances
to review that have been reviewed by the Village Attorney and conditionally approved their legislative
drafting.
6. ADJOURNMENT:
Motion by Vice Chairman Naze, seconded by Trustee Lietzau, to adjourn the Plan Commission meeting
at 7:40 PM: Motion carried unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim Healy
Village Administrator

DATE: July 31, 2026
SUBJECT: Sign Code Updates
The Village of Richfield's Sign Ordinance (Chapter 309) and the Village of Sussex's Sign Ordinance
(Ord inance 17.0800) both seek to regulate signage in a manner that protects the pub lic health , safety ,
and we lfare w hile preserving communi ty characte r and allowing businesses and organ izations to
effective ly com municate. Both ordin ances contain many of the same foundati onal e lements, including
permitting requireme nts, regulatio ns for permanent and temporary sig ns, standard s for illumin ation and
electronic message centers , maintenance requirements, provisions addressing nonconforming s igns, and
enforceme nt mechanisms. In many respects, the ordinance s achieve simila r planning objectives (whic h
makes sense because we are represented by the same law firm); however , the Sussex ordinance reflects a
more modern approach to s ign regulation that has evo lved in response to s ignificant First Amendment
case law over the past decade.
One of the most notab le differences is that the Sussex ord inance has been rewritten to regulate sign s
primar ily based on their physical characterist ics-s uch as size, h eight , location , lighting, and
constructio n-rat her than the content of the message disp layed. Th is approac h is consiste nt with the
direction esta blished by the United States Supreme Court in Reedv . Town of Gilbert (2015), which held
that sign reg ulati ons distinguishing between signs based on the message they convey are genera lly
considered conten t-based restr ictions and are subject to str ict constitutional scrutiny. The S ussex
ordinan ce express ly recog nizes this prin ciple by allowi ng any lawful noncommerci a l message to be
substitut ed on any otherw ise permitted sign and by avoiding classifica tions that require government
officials to read or interp ret the sign's message to detetmin e wh ich regulations apply.
Similarly, the Sussex ordinanc e reflects more recent lega l developmen ts following City of Austin v.
Reagan National Advertising (2022) , in which the Supreme Court clarified that cettain location-based
distinctions between on-premi ses and off- prem ises signs may be constitutional when they are content
neutra l. Sussex regulate s s igns largely throu gh object ive physical standar ds and land use cons iderati ons
while limitin g discretionary rev iew to design compa tibilit y, architectural integra tion, landscaping, and
traffic safety rather than the substance of the s ign's message. This lega l fram ewo rk substantiall y reduces
the Village's exposure to constitutional cha llenges while maintaining flexibility to achieve high-qua lity
community design.
Another stre ngth of the Sussex ordinance is its emphasis on objective, design-oriented standard s. Rather
than rely ing solely on numerical limit ations, the ordinance e ncourages monument signage, coordinated
architectura l material s, landscapin g, appropriate lighting, and compatibility w ith surroundin g
deve lopment. These standard s allow the Village to eva luate signage as an integrated component of
overall site des ign rather than simply an iso lated structur e. The result is a sign ordinance that supports
economic development while promoting an attracti ve and cohesive visual env ironment.
By comparison, Richfield's ordinance contains many comprehensive administrative and construction
standards and provides detailed technical regulations governing sign structures, engineering
requirements, and permitting procedures. These provisions offer clarity for applicants and staff and
establish predictable regulatory expectations. However, portions of the ordinance continue to classify
certain signs according to their purpose or message, an approach that has become increasingly
scrutinized under modern First Amendment jurisprudence. While many of Richfield's standards remain
effective from a planning perspective, portions of the ordinance would likely benefit from modernization
to ensure they are fully content-neutral and consistent with current constitutional precedent.
Overall, the Village of Sussex ordinance represents a contemporary model for municipal sign regulation,
consistent with the approach recommended by our Village Attorney. It incorporates lessons from recent
federal court decisions, emphasizes objective and content-neutral standards, protects free speech rights,
and focuses regulatory review on legitimate governmental interests such as traffic safety, aesthetics,
architectural compatibility, and community character. While Richfield's current ordinance remains
comprehensive and functional, the Sussex model demonstrates how a community can modernize its sign
regulations to reduce legal risk while maintaining high-quality design standards and preserving the
community's visual identity.
Unlike the Zoning Code, the Village's Sign Chapter is maintained as a standalone chapter and is not part
of the Village's zoning regulations. As a result, amendments to the Sign Chapter follow a separate
legislative process and are not subject to the public hearing requirements applicable to zoning ordinance
amendments under Wisconsin law. Should the Plan Commission ultimately direct Staff to proceed with
amendments, Staff would prepare an ordinance incorporating the Commission's recommendations,
along with any additional revisions identified during the drafting process. Following the Plan
Commission's recommendation, the proposed ordinance would then be forwarded to the Village Board
for its consideration and final action.
Over the next 30 days, Staff is asking the Plan Commission to review both the Village of Sussex's Sign
Ordinance and Richfield's existing Sign Chapter and consider how the regulations are broadly applied
throughout the community. There are several changes that the Village Attorney will recommend based
on recent court decisions and their implications for our Code; those changes will need to be addressed.
Beyond those necessary legal updates, however, Staff would like to leave the broader policy discussion
to the Plan Commission and the Village Board. Before placing this matter on a future Plan Commission
agenda, Staff wanted to provide Commission members with ample time to review the two approaches,
consider how our current regulations function in practic€, and identify whether any additional changes
or policy considerations warrant further discussion.
Be well,
Jim Healy
Village Administrator

DATE SUBMITTED: July 24, 2026
SUBMITTED BY: Brad Calder, Administrative Services Coordinator
5. The building addition is in compliance with the height limitations of the zoning district in which it is located,
and is not greater in height than the contiguous portion of the existing building
Staff Response: The building addition is in compliance with the height limitations of the zoning district in which it is
located, Rs-1, Country Estate District. The maximum height of SFH in this District is 35 feet. The proposed height of the
SFH with the addition is 23 '-9" therefore complies with this standard.
6. The building addition does not extend closer to the lot line that is the lot line that is creating the non
conforming situation than the existing building (it, the non-conforming aspect of the building addition is/are
not made worse by the proposed expansion)
Staff Response: The proposed addition does not extend closer to the lot line that is the lot line that is creating the non
confonning situation than the existing building and therefore complies with this standard. The proposed addition to the
SFH in question impacts the side yard setback on the north and south side of the home. The side yard setback in the Rs-1
Country Estate Zoning Dstrict is 40 feet. The current SFH is 13 .2 feet from the north property line. The proposed addition
will maintain the same distance with the addition. The current SFH is 3 8 .2 feet from the south property line. The proposed
addition will maintain the same distance with the addition.
7. The building addition does not extend into a setback the existing building does not currently encroach upon
rendering the proposed building non-conforming in a manner it was not previously, prior to the proposed
expansion
Staff Response: The proposed addition does not extend into a setback, the existing building does not currently encroach
upon rendering the proposed building non-conforming in a manner it was not previously and therefore complies with this
standard.
8. The building addition complies with all other dimensional standards that may apply
Staff Response: The building addition complies with all other dimensional standards that may apply and therefore complies
with this standard.
Pursuant to Section l 70.l803(C)(3), in making its decision, the Plan Commission shall consider the following factors in
addition to those factors listed in 170.443:
1. The size and location of the existing legal nonconforming building
2. The size and location of any other buildings on the subject property
3. The size and location of the proposed expansion
4. The necessity of constructing the addition within the setback
5. The proximity of buildings and other structures on adjoining properties
170.443 Basis of Decision
A. The size of the property in comparison to other properties in the area.
Staff Response: The size of the parcel is 6.9-acres. The surrounding properties on Shady Lane are more traditional lots
with all being roughly an acre in size. These surrounding properties are zone Rs-3 Single Family Residential. There are no
homes on the east side of Shady Lane. To the rear (west) of the parcel and the residential lots on this street is an open farm
field that is owned by the petitioner which wraps around the existing homes in the platted subdivision.

B. The extent to which the issuance of the special exception would be in
keeping with the overall intent of this chapter;
....
Staff Response: The Rs-1, Count ry Estate District is a residentia l zoning district.
It is intended for lots that are larger than 10 acres currently and lots greater than 4
acres that were created prior April 18, 1996 which this lot was. The intent was to
create a Zoning District which allowed residential land uses along with hobby farm
privileges on larger 'estate lots ' .. Additionall y, this provision in the Code was
made as a policy decision of the Plan Commission to allow it to consider these types
of unique situation s for redevelopment or expans ion of existing commercial ,
indu strial, or residential structures .
l!157il
C. Whether there are any unique circumstances and the nature of those circumstances that warrant the issuance
of the special exception;
Staff Response: This property is unique in that it only has a street frontage of 109 feet but is almost 7 acres in size. This
limited street frontage and with the current location of the home makes expansion of the home difficult without encroach ing.
The proposed addition to the home will carries the current architectural characteristic of the home through to the addition.

PLAN COMM ISSION COMMUNICATION FORM
MEETING DATE: August 6, 2026
SUBJECT: Concept Subdivision Design at Elmwood Road and STH 164 - Tim O'Bri en Homes, Petition er
DATE SUBMITTED: July 21, 2026
SUBMITTED BY: Jim Healy, Village Administrator
POLI CY QUESTIONS: DOES THE PLAN COMMISSIO N HA VE ANY GENERAL CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION LAYOUT ON THE
77-ACRES AT THE INTERSECTION OF STH f 64 AND ELMWOOD ROAD?
[SSUE SUMMARY:
From an administrative perspective , the proposed 25-lot subdivision represents a thoughtful approach to rural
residential development and is consistent with the Village's land use objectives with the creation of a 3-acre density
subdiv ision. The development provides an average lot size of approximate ly 1.47 acres, exceeding the minimum
zoning requirements of 1.25-acres, while preserving approximately 33.5 acres- or nearly 44 percent of the site-as
open space ( 40% required) . This balance between residential development and open space preservation helps maintain
the rural character of the area, protects environmentally sensitive features (wetlands on the south), and provides visual
bufferin g between groupings of lots (which will be filled in by landscaping in the future) that will benefit both future
residents and neighboring properties.
The overall layout appears to function well from a neighborhood planning perspective. The subdivision utilizes two
entrances on Elmwood Road (with four access points in the event of an accident or road block at an entrance point)
with an internal street network that limits through traffic and promotes a quieter residential enviromnent. This proposed
development has an access point that is propo sed to be approximately 1,000' from the intersection of STH 164 and
Elmwood Road. Tyler Way from the Elmwood Highlands Subdivision lines up directly with the westernmost entrance,
promoting typical subdivision geometry that we like to see. The large lot sizes provide adequate space for private wells
and onsite septic systems while allowing flexibility for landscaping , accessory structures , and stormwater infiltration.

DATE SUBMITTED: July 21, 2026

The concept also demonstrates consideration for existing wetlands and incorporates multiple infiltration basins and
ponds to manage storm water runoff, which is an important component of responsible rural development. The
placement , size, and function s of the BMP s will need to be reviewed and formally commented on by the Village
Engineer once they are designed. It is important to note that there is an existing residential home that sits on 0.28-acres
which is entirely smTounded by this development. It has wetlands to the northwest and west of their home and we are
aware of water issues in their basement from previous stonn events. Water also runs along the ditch line to the west
where it hits a cross culve1i that functions more as an ' equalizer' for the standing water in this area on each side of
Elmwood Road.
The subdivision propo ses approximately 3,570 (0.67-miles) linear feet of new public roadway , which equates to
roughly 143 feet of roadway per lot. Although this ratio is not unusual for low-density developments, every foot of
publi c infrastructure ultimately becomes the responsibility of the Village. Future costs associated with pavement
maintenance , snow removal , crack sealing, culvert replacement, ditch maintenance, and eventual roadway
reconstruction are all assets we will inherit as a part of this development. As infrastructure ages, these long-term
obligations often repr esent the most significant financial impact of new residential development. The developer is
proposing a traditional rural ditch line cross section, with limited amounts of curbing.

Another important consideration is the ownership and maintenance of the
proposed stmmwater facilities and open space outlots. It will be important
to clearly establish that these features will be maintained by a homeowners
association . In general, municipalities seek to minimize the long-tenn
ownership and maintenance responsibilities associated with stonnwater
infrastructure and open space unless there is a compelling public purpose or
we are mandated by the State Department of Natural Resources.
Appropriate maintenance agreements will be established to ensure these
facilities continue to function as designed for decades to come.
While the Village generally encourages roadway connections between
adjacent subdivisions to improve traffic circulation , emergency access, and long-term connectivity , Staff has not
identified any information indicating that the existing Dakota Fields subdivision to the east was designed with a future
street stub or plann ed connection to accommodate additiona l developm ent. It is not reflected in the minutes,
engineering reviews , or reviews by fonner planners , and it is not shown on the face of the plat (shown as ' future road
reservation '). Furthermore , Dakota Fields already benefits from more than one point of ingress and egress, which is one
of the primary consideration s when evaluating the need for additional roadway connections, as does this proposed
development. Based on the available infonnation , Staff does not believe a direct street connection to Dakota Fields is
necessary or watTanted as part of this proposed subdivisio n.
The Village Staff has sent the proposed layout to both the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) and the
Richfie ld Fire Department. Their comments are included in the attachment s for everyone's convenience.

MEMORANDUM
To: Village of Richfield Administrator Jim Healy
Re: 4340 Elmwood Road Subdivision Concept Plan
Date: 20 July 2026
Administrator Healy:
Thank you for sharing the prospective concept plan of the 4340 Elmwood Road subdivision
(northeast corner of State Highway 164 and Elmwood Road).
After a review of the plans, the fire department appreciates having two separate points of
access to the subdivision, thus ensur ing adequate access to the subdiv ision and its residents
from multiple directions. As the Village of Richfield is not serviced by municipal water (fire
hydrants), being able to access the subdivisio n from one entrance and exit from the other is
extraord inar ily beneficial for water tender operations . This also facilitates emergency access in
the event one of the entrances is somehow impassable.
Beyond that observation, the fire department has no additional input on the subdivision.
r,
Richfield Fire Department

RE: Proposed Subdivision on Elmwood Road and STH 164 (77-acres)
CONCEPT PLAN_Richfield 25-lot_2026-07-14.pdf
Thanks for sending this concept subdivision plan over for our review. When appropriate the plat will need to be
sent to Wis DOT for review as part of Trans 233.
The development is not of sufficient size to require a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) and will not likely be the trigger to
require the expansion of WIS 164 to four lanes. I did notice that there are several other developments occurring in
the area that will add traffic to the WIS 164 & Elmwood Rd intersection. This increased traffic could cause
operational issues for the Elmwood Road approaches. If there are operational concerns at this intersection, a TIA
could be required of the development(s) to assess and determine if any improvements could be implemented to
mitigate them.
The widening of WIS 164 to four-lanes will require a redo of the EIS that was performed previously. In the EIS, a
threshold of 13,000 vehicles per day was established as a timeframe for when capacity expansion would be
considered. Previous counts taken in 2023 in this area showed daily volumes of approximately 11,000
vehicles. We are currently in the process of obtaining new counts along WIS 164. Expansion, however, may not be
needed until volumes are higher (15,000-17,000 vehicles per day) for this stretch.
In most cases, intersection improvement projects are constructed for a twenty-year timeframe . However, in some
cases roundabouts are constructed to only account for a ten-year timeframe to avoid operational/safety issues
with them before expansion is needed. I do not know what timeframe was used for the CTH Q and WIS 167
roundabouts.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
