Church (Mark Schwiesow, Administrator). Applicant seeks consideration
of Master Plan for lands they are seeking to re-zone. (Public Hearing for

Mark Schwiesow and Neil Mooers gave the presentation. Mr. Schwiesow
read the rezoning outline dated May 30, 2001 (copy attached). Administrator
Carlson said that the building moratorium is still in effect and recommended
against rezoning without the approval of specific uses on the site plan
at the same time. The amount of impervious surface and future parking
needs was of some concern. Under current zoning, the Council has
some control. If rezoned only Plan Commission needs to approve any
changes in business plan of operation and site revisions. Administrator
Carlson wanted the Ice Age Trail to be part of the overall site plan with
recorded easement for the trail. Mr. Schwiesow states the plan is
conceptional. Mayor McAleer asked that the Plan Commission

to 140. This is a family restaurant with a playroom in front.
Roger Dupler, City Planner said the Stockade Restaurant is a "theme restaurant"
with a unique frontier architectural motif. Plan Commission members
indicated that they were looking for a mixture of materials and wanted
it to be more adaptable to the other four restaurants in the area. Parking
and green space were issues to be discussed if the developer moved forward.
The building should be flexible enough to be used for a different purpose
if this user, for whatever reason, so longer exists.
c. Tax Key 743.999.004, 120 Nashotah Road. Owner/Applicant, St. Joan
of Arc Church (Owner's Agent, Timothy Knepprath, MSI General). Applicant

sq. ft. school and additional parking for 200 cars. A traffic impact

consideration of site plan & business plan of operation for machine
and tool sales and rental.
Item 3 d and e were discussed. Members of the Plan Commission
felt that Lincoln Contractor’s Supply had a good repartition and would
be an asset to the City of Delafield. This is a Conditional Use because
businesses allowed are to be those listed in the B-1, B-2, and B-3 zoning
districts. Lincoln Contractor’s is a Conditional Use under B-4 because
of the outside storage. The proposed operation will offer small-scale
construction equipment for sale and rent. Staff felt that screening
of the storage yard and any concerns of the neighboring businesses.
Other issues to be addressed are existing grades and the proposed driveways,
landscaping for screening purposes, number of public parking spaces and
proposed lighting.
A time line was discussed. It was suggested that the Conditional
Use be for this particular developer (Lincoln Contractor). Administrator

that the City Council could consider there request at their first meeting
