MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF JUNE 28, 2000. (WELCH/TRANSON) CARRIED.
2. Citizen comments pertaining to subjects on this agenda.
Speaking to Item 7, Zoning and Ordinance Revisions (Parking):
Jim Zahorik-1948 West Shore Drive-Delafield
Ald. Romanowski stated that the Plan Commission forwarded the ordinance revisions to the City Council; the City Council considered the revised ordinances at the public hearing on zoning text amendments. After discussion, the City Council decided not to change the parking requirement until the Council sees the effect of the Fish Hatchery Parking lot and also decided to revisit the same issue during the first quarter of 2001.
Adm. Carlson stated the specific issue addressed by Mr. Zahorik is not on the agenda and there is no zoning ordinance revisions proposed at this meeting. Adm. Carlson further stated that the issue Mr. Zahorik is raising was discussed at the last Plan Commission meeting. The Plan Commission reviewed and debated the concept introduced by Mr. Zahorik and decided something different than Mr. Zahorik wished to see happen. The Plan Commission did not ignore the parking issue raised by Mr. Zahorik and chose, as a matter for public policy, to see what would happen as a result of the Fish Hatchery Parking lot before they recommend any ordinance changes to the Common Council.

5. Preliminary Consideration.
a. Tax Key 794.019 Cushing Park Business Center, Jerry Lyons, Owner, David Miller, 2746 S. 166 Street, New Berlin, Applicant. Applicant seeks conditional use amendment for construction of a cellular tower on Lot 7. Adm. Carlson stated this is the Cushing Park Business Center and it operates as a conditional use. It was originally approved in December of 1995. In Dec. of 1995 there was a conditional use process where a public hearing was held, testimony was received and a conditional use permit was approved by the Plan Commission and the City Council that limited the uses in the Cushing Park Business Center to B1, B2 and B3 uses. When the petitioner came to City Hall and asked about a specific use (5.b.-cellular tower) a conflict arose where a cellular is not a permitted use in the Cushing Park Business Center because Cushing Park was limited to B1, B2, and B3. Therefore, the petitioner has initiated the process asking the Plan Commission to amend the conditional use to permit the erection of a cellular tower. Adm. Carlson stated the map to be displayed shows parcel #7 which presumes that the Plan Commission agrees with the certified survey map revision (6.a on agenda). Mr. David Miller present. David Miller stated Lot #7 is 1.33 acres. There is a 100 ft. WEPCO easement that runs across lots 6 and 7 (big H-frame towers, 95 ft. high). Currently, Sprint and Primco have transmitting devices on the tower. David Miller requests an amendment to allow for the construction of a tower on site before you can approve the tower. From the center of Lot 7 to the west side of Lot 1 is over 700 ft. This is green space-the detention basin for a portion of the park and will never be built on. The WEPCO H-frames are 95 ft high. That is not high enough. SBA requests a 120 ft. tower. Adm. Carlson stated that in Aug of 1999, Inda Star, which is a telephone carrier, came to the Plan Commission and asked to co-locate on the WEPCO. From a personal standpoint, Adm. Carlson prefers co-location. The Plan Commission echoed that there be co-location. Mr. Lyons objected to the erection of another tower on the WEPCO right-of-way and so the City found itself in a situation of looking for another location to meet the need. Preliminary discussions were had with SBA, Jerry Banach-SBA present, so the City is at a point where it needs direction from the Plan Commission. One question is whether the Plan Commission prefers co-location. The next question: is the business park use an appropriate use for a cell tower monifold. Should public input be gathered on those questions. There is on this agenda a question as to whether we establish a hearing date and go beyond this preliminary discussion toward conditional use process. Adm Carlson stated that he cannot give the comparative tax value. Mr. Jerry Banach, SBA, spoke to topic. Ald. Romanowski also opened discussion for agenda item 5.b.
b. Tax Key 794.982 Cushing Park Business Center, Jerry Lyons, owner, Jerome A. Banach, SBA, Inc., applicant, seeks approval for conditional use permit/planned development for wireless telecommunications facility to allow B6 commercial holding (vacant land). Mr. Jerry Banach of SBA, Inc., spoke to application. SBA is a national tower company providing tower services to the wireless industry headquartered in Boca Raton, FLA. Mr. Banach works out of the regional office in Brookfield. SBA proposes to construct a co-location facility for wireless industry on Lot 7 in Cushing Park Business Center. The carriers now looking for a new location are U.S. Cellular, Voice Stream and Telecorp. All three have indicated that if the site is approved they would co-locate at that site. SBA purposes to construct in the brush and wooded area of the lot a 75 ft. x 75 ft. compound. The compound would be completely enclosed by a chain-link fence and in additional around the so>
MOTION TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE AUGUST PLAN COMMISSION MEETING. (TRANSON/WELCH) CARRIED.
6. Final Consideration, Approvals, Previous Approvals.
a. Certified Survey Map for Parcel 1 Cushing Park Business Center, Jerry Lyons, Applicant. Applicant Jerry Lyons, applicant, present. Eng. Welch stated an understanding was reached regarding the two certified survey maps-one from several years ago. There was a transfer of land that changed the lot line between lots 5 and 6. The latest map will correct that. The other change was between lots 6 and 7 which was explained that one line was moved south of the WEPCO easement to get more buildable area to lot 6. Reference was made to Eng. Welch's July 24 letter.
MOTION TO APPROVE THE MAP SUBJECT TO THE 11 ITEMS OUTLINED IN THE CITY ENGINEER'S LETTER OF JULY 26/RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL. (WELCH/TRANSON) CARRIED.
7. Zoning and Ordinance Revision. None
Ald. Romanowski reported that the City Council did discuss the ordinance revisions that the Plan Commission forwarded to the Council for consideration. The parking requirement was not changed at this time to determine the effect of the new Fish Hatchery Parking lot and the parking requirement will be revisited in the first quarter of 2001. (Note: Adm. Carlson stated bids have been accepted for the Fish Hatchery Parking lot, the costs are in the City's hands. The contractor has indicated that the City needs to finalize the contract with them, but before the contract can be finalized, the Public Works Committee requires the developer of the Town Center to enter into development agreement with the City of Delafield that outlines responsibilities on both parties. One of the major elements based the contract and specifications for the work was that the developer of the Town Center would hand the excavated materials and the spoils from the sewer line installation. Until this is resolved, Adm. Carlson has recommended that the execution of the contract for the work.) Suggested revisions to the sandwich board ordinance were made and that portion was tabled. A redraft of the sandwich board ordinance was requested and the matter tabled.)

a. Cushing Park Business Center-Conditional Use
b. SBA, Inc. - Conditional Use Recommendation was made by the Plan Commission to establish hearing dates for items a. and b. Adm. Carlson stated that time will be required to obtain information.
