Wisconsin Avenue: Gallo reported this applicant is requesting approval of an initial permit for their food truck which will be located in a parking lot along Wisconsin Avenue where other food trucks have been. They intend to have 2 tables and 2 chairs; a 55 gallon drum for oil collection; and the property owner approves. Gallo noted the applicant provided a copy of their health department license from the City of Milwaukee which Waukesha County deems acceptable and recommended approval with 4 conditions. Members noted the health department license expires in May. Gallo suggested a condition could be added that requires the applicant to get his renewal done by May. Members asked about the security of the oil and if the drum can be stored within the trash enclosure. The applicant, Leo Farfan, explained the truck would have to be inspected prior to getting a license from the health department in Waukesha County; he wants to be in compliance; he explained the process involved with replacement of the oil drum; he shares the garbage enclosure with Doblado; and would like to have a small chest freezer on the site which he will keep in a corral with a door. Motion by Wickman to approve an initial food truck permit for Anytime Arepas for calendar year 2026 at 212 E. Wisconsin Avenue subject to the 4 conditions requested by the Planning Department; he must possess a health department permit from the City of Milwaukee or Waukesha County when operating with a copy provided to the City; and should move the oil into or next to the corral; seconded by Ellis. Motion carried 5-0. 2 Plan Commission - April 08, 2026 4c. Consider/act on Resolution PC26-R3356 for the Disposition of Public Property consisting of 255 SF to be transferred to 150 E. Wisconsin Avenue: Gallo reported this request is for the sale of public lands to the adjacent property owner. The parcel is 255 sf, the City has no need for the property, and Gallo recommended approval. Motion by Gross to approve Resolution PC26-R3356 authorizing the sale of City owned real estate located adjacent to 150 E. Wisconsin Avenue; second by Vande Zande. Motion carried 5-0. 4d. Consider/recommend Ordinance 26-O1122 to amend the Planned Development Overlay District PD-3- 24 (Pabst Farms Town Centre) for Marcus Corporation located at the NE corner of I-94 & Summit Ave, tax key OCOC 0633.999.030: Gallo reported this item was postponed last month to give the applicant time to review the layout although members agreed with changing the parcel layout to include the entertainment section along the road and the lots on the road behind it. Gallo said the applicant has made the following changes: 1) provided access to the entertainment lot from Penny Lane; 2) provided a more defining entrance to the entertainment parcel; 3) closed the second access located by Fleet Farm; 4) softened the road curve and added another access point for Marcus; 5) added a pedestrian walkway through the parking lot at Marcus; and 6) proposing a 90% impervious lot coverage. Gallo checked with the Department of Public Works on the proposed lot coverage, and they were okay with it due to the stormwater pond located nearby. Gallo also reviewed the code and recommended that the language he previously included for no car washes be removed. He said the PD does not allow “in-vehicle service” which covers car washes. Pabst Farms provided a letter approving the GDP amendment. Riffle explained he interprets that “in-vehicle services” includes car washes and overall, the applicant is aware there will be no car washes. Riffle recommends this change to keep this item moving along. Members comments included concern that the access point near the bend could be a safety issue for cars exiting if there are large plantings located by the access; can they include shorter landscaping in this and other areas of the development; can the utility handle another car wash; the number of Rec’s should be shared with anyone coming into this area; and asked if Olson had looked into a different layout. Eric Olson showed the layout he tried as proposed from a member last month. Members asked if this PD locks in the road layout, and Riffle agreed it does. Motion by Ellis to recommend Ord 26-O1122 to amend the Planned Development Overlay District PD-3-24 (Pabst Farms Town Centre) for Marcus Corporation located at the NE corner of I-94 & Summit Ave with the updated site plan, lot coverage increased to 90% and removal of the wording “including car washes”; second by Gross. Motion carried 4-1 (Frederick voted no). 4e. Consider/recommend Resolution 26-R3361 vacating a portion of Olympia Fields Drive abutting the property with the parcel address of 1400 Summit Avenue: Riffle explained there is litigation ongoing on condemnation issues on this property; there is a public right-of-way which the City would vacate but keep the easements to the stormwater ponds and maintenance; Wangard would give up the rights to the property; and the City cannot vacate property without a recommendation from the Plan Commission. Gallo said there will still be ROW along the roadway. Motion by Ellis to recommend Resolution 26-R3361 authorizing the transfer of City owned real estate located adjacent to 1400 Summit Avenue; second by Vande Zande. Motion carried 5-0. 5. Planning Department Correspondence – February: Gallo reported that in the month of February there was 1 temporary use permit for a temporary sale at Fleet Farm; 1 letter was sent for a non-compliance issue; and 2 zoning approvals for new businesses. 3 Plan Commission - April 08, 2026 Gross said this is his last Plan Commission meeting, and the members thanked him for his service to the community and incredible knowledge.
