BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting building and site plan approval to construct a 1,455square-foot outdoor patio with black aluminum fencing at the above address. The plan approval is
required per Section 17.11(2)(e) of the Zoning Ordinance which requires that “No building or any
improvement shall be erected, placed or altered on any building site in the Highway Commercial (B-2)
zoning district until the plans for such building or improvement, including site plan, landscape plan,
building plan and specifications, have been submitted for review to the Plan Commission.”
EXECUTIVE ANALYSIS
1. Zoning The property is presently zoned Highway Commercial (B-2) and the existing use of
the property is consistent with the permitted uses in the B-2 zone and with the Village
Comprehensive Plan.
2. Setbacks The location of the building addition as proposed complies with the minimum
setback requirements in the B-2 zone.
3. Parking The proposed addition does not generate a need for additional parking on the
property.
4. Floodplain, Shoreland Zoning & Stormwater Management There are no floodplain or
wetland areas mapped in the location of the proposed building on the lot.
5. Land Division No land division is being proposed in this request.
6. Lighting All new lighting will be required to comply with Section 17.24 of the Zoning
Ordinance (Exterior Lighting Regulations).
7. Fire Protection This property is currently served by the municipal water system and is
located approximately 2.6 road miles from the nearest fire station.
RECOMMENNDED ACTION BY THE PLAN COMMISSION Staff recommends that the Plan
Commission approve the plans submitted for the building addition with the following conditions:
1. All exterior lighting for the building shall comply with Section 17.24 of the Zoning
Ordinance (Exterior Lighting Regulations). If wall packs are used they must be shielded to
prevent impact on surrounding properties.
2. All exterior building materials, colors, etc. for the addition shall match that of the existing
building on the property.
