Plan Commission - Public Hearing — Agenda

Town of Merton Public Hearing To Consider the Conditional Use Request for the Construction of an In-Law Unit Addition to the Principal Structure at N68W31050 Club Circle E as Requested by JJB Home Improvements, on Behalf of Sheway Chen and Dan Guiser – Tax Key MRTT0374-007 May 7th, 2025 Present Acting Chairman Siepmann, Commissioners Griffin, Queoff, Good, and Olson, Attorney Van Kleunen, Planner Haroldson, Waukesha County Representative Ken Smith, and Deputy Clerk Claas Absent: Chairman Klink Also Present: Pat Seegers, Mike Merkel, David Byczek, Cameron & Dawn Knuth, Brett & Jenelle Heath, Kevin Clark, Joe Bartelt, and Karen Templeton The Public Hearing was called to order by Acting Chairman Siepmann at 5:42 p.m. Acting Chairman Siepman read the public hearing notice. Joe Bartelt – owner of JJB Home Improvement - stated this is an in-law suite with a kitchen, bathroom and one bedroom. It’s a one-story addition to the existing structure, with no basement, and a frost wall foundation. They would like to have Sheway’s mother live with them. This is an extension off of the living room. There is no garage being added. Planner Haroldson questioned if the mother-in-law would have a car. The mother-in-law doesn’t drive. Planner Haroldson stated a site plan was submitted showing the location, the building and what they are going to do. The maximum living area does not exceed 800’ sq. ft. and it contains no more than two bedrooms. The Preliminary Site Evaluation was submitted to the Town, and it is okay for this to happen. The architecture appears to be compatible with the adjacent residential neighborhood and matches the house. The zoning requirements are all complied with. It matches the floor area ratio. It meets the setbacks and offsets for the R-1 residential district. The Town’s attorney will prepare the conditional use permit, and it will come back to the next Plan Commission Meeting. It will also have a deed restriction that will need to be registered with the Register of Deeds. The public hearing was opened for public comments and concerns. There were none. The public hearing closed at 5:47 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Holly R Claas Deputy Clerk
