Evaluation Report
Plan Commission Meeting
June 2, 2026
Prepared: May 26, 2026
APPLICANT: Kaitlin Lentz (Owner), Elisabeth Michaels (Applicant)
TAX KEYS: WFS 00001A
STREET ADDRESS: 220 Elkhorn Road, Williams Bay, WI 53191
Applicants request a conditional use permit per Section 390-0218(C)(15) and (16) to allow for live
entertainment both indoors and outdoors on premises.
Conditional Use Review Procedure:
1. Review by the Zoning Administrator.
(a) The Zoning Administrator shall determine whether the application is complete and fulfills the
requirements of this chapter. If the application is determined to be incomplete, the Zoning
Administrator shall notify the applicant.
(b) The Zoning Administrator shall review the application and evaluate whether the proposed
amendment meets the following criteria:
i. Is in harmony with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. If the Zoning
Administrator determines that the proposal may be in conflict with the provisions of
the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Administrator shall note this determination in
the report.
ii. Will not result in a substantial or undue adverse impact on nearby property, the
character of the neighborhood, environmental factors, traffic factors, parking, public
improvements, public property or rights-of-way, or other matters affecting the public
health, safety, or general welfare, either as they now exist or as they may in the future
be developed as a result of the implementation of the provisions of this chapter, the
Comprehensive Plan, or any other plan, program, map, or ordinance adopted or under
consideration pursuant to official notice by the Village or other governmental agency
having jurisdiction to guide development.
iii. Maintains the desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use
impacts as related to the environs of the subject property.
iv. The conditional use is located in an area that will be adequately served by, and will
not impose an undue burden on, any of the improvements, facilities, utilities, or
services provided by public agencies serving the subject property.
v. The potential public benefits outweigh any and all potential adverse impacts of the
proposed conditional use, after taking into consideration the applicant's proposal and
any requirements recommended by the applicant to ameliorate such impacts.
2. The Zoning Administrator shall prepare a written report addressing items above, to be forwarded to
the Plan Commission for the Commission's review and use in making its recommendation to the
Page 9 of 21
Page 2 of 3
Village Board. If the Zoning Administrator determines that the proposal may be in conflict with the
provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Administrator shall note this determination in the
report.
The property located at 220 Elkhorn Road is currently zoned VC, Village Center District. This property is
currently a restaurant with an exterior deck that has been in operation for several years. Recently, the restaurant
changed ownership. They are not seeking modifications to the interior or exterior of the property. The
applicants submitted proposed dates for live entertainment for the 2026 calendar year however, approval of a
conditional use permit would allow the applicants to change or add dates continuously year after year without
additional approval. The property must meet the following criteria:
390-0310G
G. Indoor commercial entertainment. Land uses that provide entertainment services entirely within an
enclosed building. Such activities often have operating hours that extend beyond most other commercial
land uses. Examples include restaurants, taverns, theaters, health or fitness centers, all forms of training
studios (dance, art, martial arts, etc.), bowling alleys, arcades, roller rinks, and pool halls. Indoor
commercial entertainment land uses shall adhere to the following standards:
(1) If located on the same side of the building that abuts residentially zoned property, no customer
entrance of any kind shall be permitted within 150 feet, or as far as possible, of the residentially zoned
property.
(2) A buffer yard with a minimum opacity of 0.60 shall be provided along all borders of the property
abutting residentially zoned property (see Article 9).
(3) Minimum required off-street parking: one space per every three patron seats or lockers (whichever is
greater); or one space per three persons at the maximum capacity of the establishment (whichever is greater).
390-0310H
H. Outdoor entertainment. Land uses where entertainment services are provided partially or wholly
outside of an enclosed building. Such activities often have the potential to be associated with nuisances
related to noise, lighting, dust, trash, and late operating hours. Examples of such land uses include
outdoor eating and drinking areas, outdoor assembly areas, outdoor public or commercial swimming
pools. Outdoor entertainment land uses shall adhere to the following standards:
(1) Activity areas shall not be located closer than 300 feet to a residentially zoned property.
(2) Where the use involves amplified sound, a buffer yard with a minimum opacity of 0.80 shall be
provided along all borders of the property abutting residentially zoned property (see Article 9). Where
the use does not involve amplified sound, a buffer yard with a minimum opacity of 0.50 shall be
provided along all borders of the property abutting residential zoned property.
(3) Activity areas (including drive-in movie screens) shall not be visible from any residentially
zoned property.
(4) Activities proposed in a public right-of-way or on Village-owned property must receive Village
Board approval for such use, in addition to any required conditional use permit.
(5) Minimum required off-street parking: one space for every three persons at the maximum capacity
of the establishment.
There is a residentially zoned property approximately 285 feet away from the designated outdoor venue space.
Given the outdoor deck is currently fenced and surrounded by vegetation before the road and additional Village
Center property before the residential property this is an adequate buffer. There are no residential properties
directly adjacent to the proposed entertainment site.
After a review of the submitted application and materials the proposed project appears to be in
compliance with all of the requirements of the VC Zoning District.
Page 10 of 21
Page 3 of 3

Land uses where entertainment services are provided partially or wholly outside of an enclosed building. Such
activities often have the potential to be associated with nuisances related to noise, lighting, dust, trash, and late
operating hours.
The following are conditions that should be considered pending any recommendation of approval for the
Conditional Use Permit for both indoor and outdoor entertainment:
1. Live entertainment shall be limited to approved operating hours established by the municipality.
2. Outdoor amplified music shall comply with local noise ordinances and decibel limitations.
3. All outdoor entertainment activities shall conclude by ______ PM Sunday–Thursday and ______ PM

15. Outdoor entertainment approvals shall be subject to annual review and renewal.
16. Special events exceeding normal operating conditions may require separate temporary event permits.
17. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in fines, suspension, or revocation of approvals or
licenses.

Allison Schwark

Planning Request Application - Statements
Statement of proposed use of property, with pertinent facts regarding the size of the area
involved, extent of development, type of operation, etc.
The project was originally approved in 2023. The request to amend the Site Plan and
Conditional Use Permit has come out of more focus on the operational plans. Originally, all the
refuse and recycling were planned to be within an enclosure near the Lodge service area. As
the final equipment was coordinated with clear zones and the project utilities were confirmed, it
became apparent that the refuse and recycling containers would not fit within this enclosure.
The utility companies expressed a lot of concern about the containers - moving them in and out
and potential for a mischief fire near/adjacent to their equipment.
The submitted drawing shows a free-standing enclosure south of the shed at the west end of
the parking lot. It is 94.8’ from the ROW and 140.8’ from the west property line. At this location,
it will not be visible from the street. The property to the west has their service/maintenance
building directly to the west of the existing Shed and proposed refuse enclosure. There are
many existing and proposed trees that will screen the Shed and refuse enclosure. The 8’ fence
uses materials that are found on the Lodge building facade or will be compatible. Our civil
engineer, Ruekert Meilke, has determined that the additional 181 square feet of impervious area
can be accommodated within the already designed storm water management system, see
attached letter.
The WLC’s security advisor has recommended a vehicle access control gate on the entry
driveway near the street. The submitted drawing shows the location plan and elevation. The
gate design is incorporating themes, materials and detailing that is complimentary to the
buildings. We have met with Jennifer O'Neil about the Knox Box location so that EMT
responders will always have access to the property.
Below is the original narrative that was included with CUP process.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Women’s Leadership Center property is 8.63 acres. The density of the development is
quite low at .068 FAR. The placement of the three principal buildings and one accessory
building on the site exceed the required setbacks from the property lines and Geneva Lake.
The same is true for all vehicular paving.
The Council and Lodge buildings are where the meetings and dining will take place and these
are located on the western portion of the site adjacent to George Williams College. The Cabin
building is located on the eastern portion of the site adjacent to the residential zoning. The
maximum meeting planned for either the Council or Lodge is 80 people (excluding staff and 3
rd
party food service). This 80-person group would occupy both buildings and the site during the
day’s activities. The Cabin would provide overnight accommodations for up to 3 presenters or
lecturers or artists, for a period of 1 day to 2 weeks. There will be 3-6 Women’s Leadership
Center staff with office space at the Council building. The meeting sizes will range from 10-80
people, meetings will cover 1-5 days, with 1-3 meetings per week and operations covering 48
weeks a year. The goal is to provide 50-80 meetings a year.
Page 15 of 21
March 27, 2026
Onsite parking is provided (in accordance with Village regulations) to support visitors and staff,
and there is one loading area on the east side of the Lodge. The design and construction of the
project is pursuing a LEED Gold designation.
Statement showing the compatibility of the proposed zoning district and/or use to the
Village Comprehensive Plan.
A small refuse enclosure and an access control gate are certainly improvements that are
common to a property with P & I zoning. These very minor additions to the WLC site will not
change the character of the project nor make the project incompatible with the Village
Comprehensive Plan. The refuse enclosure meets the requirements of 18.0808, F.
Below is the original narrative that was included with the CUP process.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our proposed use of the property (Indoor Institutional – Intensive, 18.0308B and Residential
Garage or Shed, 18.0315I) is consistent with the P & I zoning (Principal Land Uses Permitted by
CUP and Accessory Uses Permitted by Right) and the Village’s recently adopted
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Our property has been designated with P & I land use for
many years. The adjacent properties to the north and west have P & I zoning, to the south is
Geneva Lake and to the east is R-2 residential zoning. The design respects the environmental
corridor designation with impervious coverage of 19% (buildings and paving).
We have tagged and surveyed 808 existing trees and propose to only remove 28% (does not
include invasive and dead trees). The topography and trees are assets to the proposed
development and to the character of Williams Bay. Our design team has carefully crafted a
project, with site design and architecture, that respects the property by softly integrating the
Women’s Leadership Center program and related infrastructure, so it feels “at home” and
connected to the uniqueness of the site.
If the Women’s Leadership Center project was building 20,000sf or less, the CUP requirement
would not apply. To achieve the Women’s Leadership Center program, we propose to build
25,685sf. The minor incremental difference in FAR (.053 to .068) will have a negligible impact
on the surrounding neighborhood and the additional building area will not appreciably impact the
site.
Statement showing compatibility of the proposed zoning district and/or use with the
adjacent properties and neighborhoods.
The refuse enclosure and the access control gate have been designed to blend seamlessly with
the overall project. Their locations will not have any impact on neighboring properties, visually
or operationally.
Below is the original narrative that was included with CUP process.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The design (mass, height and form) of the buildings is respectful of the natural character of the
property and the surrounding area. Their locations on the site were selected to appreciate
views of Geneva Lake and the beauty of the site itself. The exterior materials will harmonize
and connect the buildings to the primary colors and textures of the property along with the
Page 16 of 21
March 27, 2026
surrounding area. Each building has incorporated windows that promote views and connect the
visitors to the site. The technical design of the glass supports minimizing bird strikes.
The site layout, grading, storm water and utilities have been designed to harmonize and
complement the site’s natural land forms and minimize tree removal. The overall vision for the
property is to encourage meeting attendees and staff to enjoy and explore the site at all times of
the year. Key landforms (Oak Savannah Knoll and Woodland Clearing) are preserved and
enhanced to support low impact activities that meeting attendees can enjoy. The property has
wonderful topography and hundreds of existing trees. The landscape planting design will
address the zoning requirements to screen the parking from Constance Blvd, provide a buffer
planting along the eastern property line for the residential zoning and replace 1 for 1 any trees
removed as part of developing the property. Our goal is to restore the entire property to a high-
quality southeast Wisconsin woodland. The plant list will primarily focus on native material
(woody and herbaceous).
The Women’s Leadership Center believes our project will enhance the desired character of
Williams Bay. The low-density development is being designed to complement and harmonize
with the wooded site and the varied topography. We have sited our buildings to respect our
neighbors and will restore the site so that it will be a positive example in Williams Bay which
also reflects the aspirations and heritage of the Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy.

TAX KEYS: WA 499800001
STREET ADDRESS: 333 Constance Blvd, Williams Bay, WI 53191
Applicant requests a conditional use permit amendment per Section 390-0223.C (5) P & I Public and
Institutional District – Indoor Institutional – Intensive and Section 390-0821 Group Development and Large
Development Standards to relocate refuse containers and enclosures and add a vehicle access control gate to the
front entrance.
Conditional Use Review Procedure:
1. Review by the Zoning Administrator.
(a) The Zoning Administrator shall determine whether the application is complete and fulfills the
requirements of this chapter. If the application is determined to be incomplete, the Zoning
Administrator shall notify the applicant.
(b) The Zoning Administrator shall review the application and evaluate whether the proposed
amendment meets the following criteria:
i. Is in harmony with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. If the Zoning
Administrator determines that the proposal may be in conflict with the provisions of
the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Administrator shall note this determination in
the report.
ii. Will not result in a substantial or undue adverse impact on nearby property, the
character of the neighborhood, environmental factors, traffic factors, parking, public
improvements, public property or rights-of-way, or other matters affecting the public
health, safety, or general welfare, either as they now exist or as they may in the future
be developed as a result of the implementation of the provisions of this chapter, the
Comprehensive Plan, or any other plan, program, map, or ordinance adopted or under
consideration pursuant to official notice by the Village or other governmental agency
having jurisdiction to guide development.
iii. Maintains the desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use
impacts as related to the environs of the subject property.
iv. The conditional use is located in an area that will be adequately served by, and will
not impose an undue burden on, any of the improvements, facilities, utilities, or
services provided by public agencies serving the subject property.
v. The potential public benefits outweigh any and all potential adverse impacts of the
proposed conditional use, after taking into consideration the applicant's proposal and
any requirements recommended by the applicant to ameliorate such impacts.
2. The Zoning Administrator shall prepare a written report addressing items above, to be forwarded to
the Plan Commission for the Commission's review and use in making its recommendation to the
Village Board. If the Zoning Administrator determines that the proposal may be in conflict with the
Page 20 of 21
Page 2 of 2
provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Administrator shall note this determination in the
report.
The property located at 333 Constance Boulevard is currently zoned P&I, Public and Institutional District.
There are currently existing buildings on site along with parking areas for the facilities. As the property
continues to be developed, each project shall meet the following criteria:
390-0808
D. Requirements for exterior storage in business districts. In all business zoning districts, all materials and
equipment shall be stored within a completely enclosed building except for the following, which shall not be
located within any front or street side yard and shall be stored a minimum of five feet from any and all property
lines:
(1) Screened refuse containers;
F. Exterior trash storage. All exterior trash storage shall be located within an enclosure that completely screens
the view of said trash. The exterior of said enclosure shall be constructed of some or all of the materials used on
the main building. A solid wood fence shall be used to gain access to the storage area.
390-0821F
(8) Screening.
(a) All ground-mounted and wall-mounted mechanical equipment, refuse containers, and any permitted
outdoor storage shall be fully concealed from on-site and off-site ground level views, with materials
identical to those used on the building exterior.
(d) Gates and fencing may be used for security and access, but not for screening, and they shall be of high
aesthetic quality. Decorative metal picket fencing and screening is acceptable. Chain-link, wire mesh, or
wood fencing is unacceptable. Decorative, heavy-duty wood gates may be used.
(15) Outdoor storage uses and areas. Exterior storage structures or uses, including the parking or storage of
vehicles, trailers, equipment, containers, crates, pallets, merchandise, materials, fork lifts, trash, recyclables, and
all other items, shall be permitted only where clearly depicted and labeled on the approved site plan.
After a review of the submitted application and materials the proposed project appears to be in
compliance with all of the following requirements of the P& I Zoning District.
The P&I Zoning District requires a Conditional Use Permit for all Large Developments and Group
Developments. Per Section 390-0821 a Large Development is defined as Any institutional, business, or mixed
residential and nonresidential development containing any single structure or combination of structures on one
or more contiguous lots or building sites devoted to land uses on which the total combined gross floor area of
all development exceeds 10,000 square feet. The calculation of gross floor area shall include indoor and
outdoor storage and display areas. The proposed development is required to adhere to all requirements set forth
in Section 390-0821 including building style, architectural design, building color, traffic, parking, pedestrian
access, landscaping, and lighting.
The application has been reviewed by Village Staff, and Village Engineer, and the request to relocate the trash
receptacles and screening, along with the request to add a vehicle access control gate is generally acceptable,
and meets all applicable ordinance requirements including maximum height, materials, location, and setbacks.
Respectfully submitted,
Allison Schwark
Zoning Administrator
