TO W. PACKER AVE The Department of Community Development requests Plan Commission review and approval to officially map Geneva Street from its current mapped terminus to W. Packer Avenue.
The Plan Commission is being asked to consider two potential alignments for the officially mapped street, a curved design and a straight design. Mr. Burich introduced the item with slides
containing two potential alignments for the official mapping, explaining the pros and cons for each proposal. Bill Luebke, 2562 Jackson Street, stated he preferred the official mapping
with the offset, however, he would like the offset moved to the property south of his lot in the M-3 zoning district to proceed straight up the west lot line of Wisconsin Ordinance Works
property giving them a better layout for expansion. He stated this also would not divide the property along Packer Avenue quite so severely, and pointed out a straighter intersection
could be developed on his own property with this layout.
Plan Commission Minutes 3 January 21, 2003 Mr. Burich stated that configuration would create an unbuildable parcel in the M-3 zoning district that the City would most likely have to
acquire. He also stated the Department had not yet looked at that option so the Department would not recommend that at this time. Gary Garby, 1841 Beech Street, stated he owns the parcel
on W. Packer Avenue, and prefers the offset option because the straight option would cut through his property leaving a small parcel to the west which he felt would be wasted land, whereby,
the offset option would follow his west property line. Mr. Burich pointed out the property to the southwest of Mr. Luebke’s property is zoned M-3, General Industrial District, while
the parcel to the southeast of Mr. Luebke’s property is zoned R-3, Multiple Dwelling District. Mr. Dell’Antonia questioned if Mr. Luebke had talked to the property owners located in
the M-3 zoning district. Mr. Luebke replied he hadn’t talked to those property owners. Discussion followed regarding the location of the official mapping with mention of what would be
in the best interest of the City for future development in the area. Mr. Burich pointed out that the official mapping of the street can always be revised through Plan Commission action
based on what development plans are for the area. Motion by Reschenberg to lay over the item until the next meeting to look into street revisions and re-notify the property owners. Seconded
by Dell’Antonia. Motion carried 4-2. Nays: Blassingame and Krueger. OLD BUSINESS Mr. Reschenberg questioned the status of the proposed amendment for the Parking/Placement of Recreational
Vehicles/Equipment. Mr. Dell’Antonia stated the Council would be having a workshop on Tuesday, January 28, to examine the revision recommendations. There being no further business, the
meeting adjourned at 4:37 p.m. (Dell’Antonia/Reschenberg) Unanimous. Respectfully submitted, DARRYN L. BURICH Principal Planner DLB/vlr
