BACKGROUND INFORMATION (Applicant provided)
The applicant owns VH96-1 consisting of 12 acres, zoned I1. There is currently a bakery on
the northern edge closest to E. Deerfield. Approximately 300’ east of the bakery is a maxi
storage building that was built around 2005. It has been fully occupied since that time.
Over the last several years I have had many requests for more units. So now I want to put
up another building identical to the existing building but only 16’ longer. It will be the
same width. So the dimensions will be 72’ wide X 128’ long. This building could be
sectioned into 14 separate units.
ZONING CODE REQUIREMENT
No building or any improvement shall be erected, placed, or altered on any building site
until the plans for such building or improvement, including the site plan, landscape plan,
building plan and specifications, have been submitted for review to the village plan
commission. The village plan commission shall approve, conditionally approve or
disapprove such plans with respect to conformity with this section and other applicable
codes and ordinances of the village and with respect to harmony of external design and
land use as it affects property within and adjacent. Failure on the part of the village plan
commission to act within 60 days of submission shall constitute approval of such plans.
EXECUTIVE ANALYSIS
Zoning
The property is presently zoned I-1. Warehousing and storage buildings are
permitted uses in the I-1 zone.
Setbacks The building meets all setback regulations in the I-1 zone.
Parking
The applicant would meet the required parking requirements.
Floodplain, Shoreland Zoning & Stormwater Management
There are no areas of mapped floodplain on the subject property. Wetlands have
previously been identified in isolated areas but the owner has been working with
the DNR for several years to identify and isolate these wetland areas. The owner is
confident that the location of the relocated structure is not an area of wetland
concern.
Land Division
No land division is being proposed in this request.
Lighting
No additional exterior lighting is being proposed with this request.
