Public Hearing – Conditional Use Permit requested by Jensen’s Piggly Wiggly for the purpose of installing gas pumps Jensen referred to materials in the Commissioners’ packets and reminded of discussion from previous month. Gratton inquired about the number of nozzles, and there will be 4 since the pumps are 2-sided. Schulte wanted to confirm the location at the southwest end of the parking lot, and Jensen confirmed that it will be out of the line of traffic and that there will be no diesel serving semis. Steffen inquired whether it was at least 20 feet from the street, and Jensen confirmed. There was discussion about the location of the catch basins. Bosak asked 3 times for additional comments or questions. The public hearing was closed at 6:35 PM.
Public Hearing 6:40 PM – Change to the text of Ordinance 17.20.010(A)(3) Sheldon read the proposed text change. Meyer asked whether it applies to R-3 properties. MacGlashan explained that 17.20.010 applies to all nonconforming uses and that there is another Ordinance change that should be made to deal with R-1A specifically. Bosak asked 3 times for additional comments or questions. The public hearing was closed at 6:46 PM.
Public Hearing 6:50 PM – Rezone Parcels:
2223-002 ( 358 Meadow Lane) from R-3 to R-2

2141-036 ( 107 S. Main Street) from B-2 to R-3
Bornschlagel inquired whether the change will affect taxes, and Bosak responded that it would make no difference. Bornschlagel explained that he has one meter serving both the business and the residence and asked whether that would change. Wegener responded that it would change only if the barbershop were closed. Steffen asked whether a conditional use permit for the barbershop would be necessary after the change. MacGlashan responded that it would not be necessary as long as the current use is continued.
2141-037 ( 105 S. Main Street) from B-2 to R-3
Bosak asked 3 times for additional comments or questions. The public hearing was closed at 6:55 PM.
Approve Conditional Use Permit requested by Jensen’s Piggly Wiggly for the purpose of installing gas pumps:
Gratton asked how signage for the gas pumps would impact future signage on the property. Vogel indicated that she would have to research the current sign Ordinance.
Wegener/Schuster to approve the conditional use permit requested by Jensen’s Piggly Wiggly for the purpose of installing gas pumps, contingent on signage meeting the City Ordinance. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Approve Change to the text of Ordinance 17.20.010(A)(3)
Gratton/Engels to approve change to the text of Ordinance 17.20.010(A)(3). Roll call vote, carried unanimously.

Public Appearance – Greg Nehls, Concept Plan for Parcels 2111-000 and 2222-001 Nehls described the proposed rezoning map included in the packets. Lots 3 & 4 would remain R-3, while “Parcel A” would become R-2. MacGlashan commented that this would still provide up to 190 multi-family units and that this would upset the city’s mix. MacGlashan also commented that R-3 disallows single-family so that flexibility is lost. Nehls commented that he would never build 190 units and would be back before the Commission at some date when he is approaching retirement to address real plans when they become known. Wegener commented that the city was comfortable with R-3 zoning 25 years ago when this was addressed and now is attempting to take something away.
Wegener/Steffen to tentatively approve rezoning “Parcel A” as R-2, subject to Public Hearing comments to be scheduled at the next meeting. Ayes: Steffen, Schuster, Schulte, Gratton, Engels, Bosak. Abstain: Wegener.
Public Appearance – Silk Exotic, Request to retain existing outbuilding behind 112 E. Oak Street
Fields explained that there is little storage downstairs and that they would like to keep the outbuilding for that purpose. The building is structurally sound and would be made to match the main building. Bosak responded that the location causes traffic/site issues and that the building would have to be moved. Discussion followed about removal of the building being part of the original plan to address these safety hazards and that it would also allow widening of the alley in the future. The consensus of the Commission is that the only problem with retaining the building is its location. Vogel would entertain an alternate site plan as part of the building permit process.
Approve site for Skateboard Park at Cross Street and Industrial Avenue
Steffen felt that 10 feet is too close to the sidewalk and that the site should be shifted to the north and to the west.
Steffen/Schulte to approve the site for a Skateboard Park at Cross Street and Industrial Avenue, contingent upon suitable setbacks under construction standards and notification to the insurance carrier. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Enforcement referrals to the Building Inspector
Vogel reported that repairs to the doors at the former high school are underway. Vogel discussed the parking regulations under the conditional use permit at the former high school with the resident. Wegener inquired about the permit at 212/214 E. Oak allowing residence on the ground floor since that use had been discontinued. Vogel will research.
Set date and time for next meeting. Next meeting to be scheduled for December 17 at 6:30 PM.
Steffen/Schuster to adjourn the meeting at 7:57 PM. Motion carried.

186 Victory Street, Charles Litka
Chairman Bosak read the written comments from Vandewalle & Associates regarding the proposed rezoning from R-3 to R-1. Charles Litka commented that leaving the property R-3 would not be out of character for the surrounding neighborhood. (Wegener arrives 6:39.) Discussion followed that the existing single-family home is nonconforming in an R-3 zoning, but would be conforming in R-2. R-2 would also allow option to develop into a duplex.
Wegener/Steffen to rezone to R-2, contingent upon the neighbor to the north also accepting R-2 zoning and that a Public Hearing be scheduled to discuss that action. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
449 S. Main Street, Dean Will
Chairman Bosak read the written comments from Vandewalle & Associates regarding the proposed rezoning from R-2 to R-1a. Dean Will commented that he wants to preserve his right to convert to a duplex and that other such properties exist in the area behind his property. Wegener explored the feasibility of following through on such a conversion.
Steffen/Engels to rezone as R-1a, as originally proposed. Ayes: Steffen, Engels, Bosak, Schulte. Naye: Gratton. Abstain: Wegener, Schuster.
441 W. North Street, Julie & Peter Hogan
Chairman Bosak read the written comments from Vandewalle & Associates regarding the proposed rezoning from A-1 to R-1. Steffen inquired about the size of the lot, and Julie Hogan indicated 1.87 acres. Julie Hogan commented that they are slowly converting to farm use and plan on 4-H activities to support a food bank. They have concern about the large garden use and the ability to build a shed if rezoned to R-1. Discussion followed to indicate that R-1 zoning would not interfere with garden plans and that there is ample green space to allow a shed under R-1.
Engels/Gratton to rezone to R-1, as originally proposed. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
546 Lincoln Drive, Tim Gassner
Chairman Bosak read the written comments from Vandewalle & Associates to retain the existing B-1 zoning.
Schulte/Steffen to retain the current B-1 zoning. Ayes: Schulte, Steffen, Wegener, Engels, Gratton, Schuster. Abstain: Bosak.
228 & 228 ½ W. North Street, Dean & Connie Born
Chairman Bosak read the written comments from Vandewalle & Associates regarding the proposed rezoning from R-2 to R-1a. Sciascia commented that Wisconsin Courts have interpreted discontinuous use narrowly. MacGlashan commented that it would be possible to expand the definition of continuous use in the R-1a Ordinance.
Steffen/Schuster to rezone to R-1a, contingent upon revising the Ordinance to clarify continuous use. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Other
Chairman Bosak introduced letter from Elmer Meyer regarding 113 S. Main Street. Proposed change is from B-2 to R-1a. The same issue of discontinuous use applies to this property as was discussed earlier with Dean & Connie Born.
Wegener/Schuster to rezone all properties from 2141-033 to 2141-037 to R-3 and that a Public Hearing be scheduled to discuss that action. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
114 Fair Street, Karen Schrab
Chairman Bosak read the written comments from Vandewalle & Associates regarding the proposed rezoning from B-2 to R-2. Discussed with Karen Schrab the dangers of nonconforming status existing with the current B-2 zoning.
Gratton/Engels to rezone to R-2, as originally proposed. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Parcels 2111-000 & 2222-001, Greg Nehls & Attorney Brian Pfitzinger Proposed rezoning is from R-3 to R-1. Greg Nehls indicated that he went through a rezoning process years before to secure R-3 zoning. Pfitzinger commented that it is more marketable as R-3 and that there would be further discussion at the time of development anyway. Access to the properties was also discussed. MacGlashan commented that no further discussion would be necessary to develop multi-family housing since it is a permitted use in R-3. Nehls and Pfitzinger indicated that some mixed-use is the goal and would be agreeable to discussing a concept plan.
Wegener/Engels to table the rezoning until a concept plan is presented. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Other
Chairman Bosak introduced a letter from David & Pennae Schultz, 280 N. Main Street. The proposed rezoning is from R-2 to R-1a. David Schultz commented that there were 2 addresses at one time and that the facilities for a duplex are already in place. It could be used as a duplex at any time and would require additional cost to convert it back to a single-family. Use as a duplex would not be grandfathered since it is not currently used as a duplex. It was noted that the respondent already has costs sunk in the property. Wegener suggested that a block of neighboring properties be left as R-2, consistent with the proposed zoning on the other side of the street.
Steffen/Schuster to retain the existing R-2 zoning. Ayes: Steffen, Schuster, Schulte, Gratton, Engels, Bosak. Naye: Wegener.
225 & 233 S. Hyland, Wilma Lee
The proposed rezoning is from R-2 to R-1a. It was noted from the written Vandewalle comments that the objection was for the benefit of neighbors as much as the property under discussion. None of the neighbors have raised an objection on their own.
Engels/Schulte to rezone to R-1a, as originally planned. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Public Appearance – Robert Buhr, approve Certified Survey Map for corner of W. Kindt and Western Avenue
Robert Buhr indicated that the CDA owns Lot 1 and that a lift station occupies the area noted as Outlet 1. Bullseye would like to use Lot 1 for parking, and this was agreed in 2002. Wegener commented that the only Utility concern was that Bullseye maintain the lawn for the entire parcel.
Engels/Wegener to approve Certified Survey Map for corner of W. Kindt and Western Avenue. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Public Appearance – Pastor Curt Zeise, possible rezoning of 172 E. Cross Street for potential occupancy by The Heart Community Church
Pastor Zeise reported that he talked to a representative of the owner and that the owner prefers to sell rather than subdivide and rent. MacGlashan commented that a Planned Development District was the only viable zoning alternative if renting industrial space. A P-1 zoning would not allow industrial rental. It was suggested that the church investigate the South Wind subdivision property as an alternate.
Public Appearance – Dr. Robert Heinen, abandonment of city right-of-way between 107 & 113 Leonard Avenue
In response to a question about abandonment procedure, Sheldon read a message from City Engineer Mike Laue. Laue indicated that a petition to vacate needed to be signed by the adjacent owners, a class 3 notice stating when the resolution is to be acted upon by the Council, and a certified copy of the resolution recorded with the register of deeds.
Wegener/Engels to forfeit the right-of-way to the adjacent owners, at the applicants cost. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Public Appearance – Jonathan Jensen, conditional use permit for installation of gas pumps at Piggly Wiggly
Jonathan Jensen described the operation of “Pig Stop” gas pumps. Jensen indicated that there would be a 16,000 gallon tank with a canopy. Gasoline only would be sold on a pay-at-the-pump basis. This would require approximately a $200,000 investment. Jensen understood that a Public Hearing was necessary and intends to apply in time to meet publication deadlines for the next meeting.

Wegener/Schulte to remove the topic from the Table. Motion carried.
Engels felt that the city should be able to cover interest on the outstanding loan balance. Bosak spoke in favor of the Hechimovich counterproposal of $5,000 per year, plus $3,000 per lot sold. Sciascia indicated that the Plan Commission has jurisdiction over zoning, but not over financing. MacGlashan indicated that zoning and financing should not normally be mixed. Discussions followed about removing the Plan Commission from financial negotiations and refer to the Finance Committee and Council.
Wegener/Engels to rezone Lots 1-15 of Wild Goose Estates from R-1 to R-2, subject to Finance Committee recommendation on the contract to Council. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.

Discuss request from White Pine Resources to rezone Lots 1-15 of Wild Goose Estates from R-1 to R-2
Letter from Hank Hechimovich was distributed and read by the Commissioners.
Wegener/Engels to table. Motion carried.
Review agreement between Timothy Gassner and the City of Juneau Plan Commission Vogel’s recollection was that the rental house was a nonconforming use and that the rental house could not be split into a separate lot that would conform to zoning requirements. Gassner’s recollection was that the laterals were the concern and that this was corrected. Vogel clarified the distinction in the May, 1999 minutes between a “dwelling” and a “residence” – a “dwelling” is in a business district while a “residence” is in a residential district. Wegener summarized that 2 structures don’t fit on the property, there is no way to split the property, and the agreement protects the city’s status quo if Gassner should sell.
Consensus was that Gassner can continue the use of the property without any concern, but the agreement protects the city in case of a sale. See Vogel’s Attachment.
Wegener/Schulte to table until 2010. Roll call vote. Carried unanimously.
Enforcement referrals to the Building Inspector
Parking violations at Dodgeland Center were discussed. Vogel has contacted the owner but will follow up with the tenants. 2 properties in mid-repair were discussed, and Vogel indicated that they will finish this Fall. Bosak encouraged Vogel to follow up on the old property maintenance list. Gratton inquired about enforcement steps after fines are levied. Vogel responded that daily fines can be levied, but suggested that filing a lawsuit to obtain a judgment might be more productive. If the court order was not followed, the City could repair and charge on the tax roll. Vogel suggested the City Attorney be contacted about this option.
Report by staff on dedication of building permit revenue for zoning/property maintenance enforcement action
Sheldon reported that the Plan Commission recommendation to dedicate 20% of the building permit revenue for enforcement was taken to the Finance Committee. Finance declined to set that policy but did place a comparable dollar amount in the preliminary 2008 budget as a baseline.
Report by staff on timetable for zoning map updates
Sheldon reported that a Vandewalle Open House would be held Wednesday, September 26 th, between 4:30-7:30. A Joint Public Hearing with the Council will be held on Tuesday, October 9 th. Following the Hearing, Plan Commission will make its recommendation to Council for action later in the meeting. Sheldon also reported that an objection letter was received from Nehls Bros.’Attorney concerning rezoning from R-3 to R-1. Copies of the Open House and Public Hearing Notices were sent to the Attorney.
Set Date and Time for Next Meeting. Next regular meeting will be held on Monday, October 29, 2007.

Discuss and possibly approve request from White Pine Resources to rezone Lots 1-15 of Wild Goose Estates from R-1 to R-2
Dennis Hechimovich stated the request from White Pine Resources to rezone as R-2. Bosak reviewed the correspondence since the last meeting and stressed that the Commission was looking for a concession to provide a quicker payback on the city’s loan to White Pine Resources. Gratton expressed surprise that the city negotiated an agreement that was not in line with his recollection of the Commission’s directive. Hechimovich raised the question of whether a timeline for final payment was stated in the agreement, but none was noted by any Commission member. Hechimovich stated that a number of sales have been lost due to the restrictions of the R-1 zoning and that this has slowed the repayment. Wegener spoke in support of the city’s R-1 zoning standards. Bosak noted a written statement provided by Commissioner Engels expressing support for R-2 zoning only with accelerated loan repayment as previously voted upon. Wegener offered a suggestion that the repayment plan voted upon last month be modified to retain the $15,000 annual payment but to drop the $3,000 per sale of each lot. Hechimovich indicated that he did not have the authority to negotiate such an arrangement and would have to consult with his partners.
Motion by Wegener/Schulte to agree to R-2 zoning in return for a $15,000 annual payment starting December 31, 2007, eliminating the $3,000 per sale of each lot, with full payment of the loan due in 15 years from the date of the zoning change. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Review agreement between Timothy Gassner and the City of Juneau Plan Commission Upon review of the agreement and the Plan Commission minutes of May 13, 1999, the Commissioners were uncertain about the issue being resolved in this action. Gratton recalled that it was an attempt to help a “fledgling business”. Gassner’s recollection was that water/sewer was the issue and that this was corrected. Consensus of the Commission was to place this topic on the agenda again next month and invite Mary Kay Vogel to get her recollection of the issue.
Report by staff on timetable for zoning map updates Sheldon reported that Vandewalle & Associates would distribute a letter to homeowners impacted by the proposed zoning map updates, explaining the benefits of this action. There is also an Open House tentatively scheduled for September 26, 2007, so that homeowners can discuss the matter directly with Vandewalle. The Library has been booked for this Open House. Vandewalle is also recommending a Joint Plan Commission/Council Public Hearing in conjunction with the October Council meeting. The logistics of that event will have to be discussed with Vandewalle to assure compliance with the steps required under the city’s Ordinance.
Enforcement referrals to the Building Inspector Sheldon reported a citizen complaint about clutter at 134 S. Main Street. Plan Commission refers this to Building Inspector for enforcement action. Building Inspector should be invited to next meeting to discuss penalty escalation options.
Set Date and Time for Next Meeting. Next meeting will be held on Monday, September 24, 2007.
Schuster/Gratton to adjourn the meeting at 7:34 PM. Motion carried.

Steffen/Engels to approve the minutes from the previous meeting. Motion carried.
Public Hearing – Rezoning of Lots 1-15 of Wild Goose Estates subdivision as a Planned Unit Development for White Pine Resources Chairman Bosak opened the Public Hearing at 6:32 PM and invited comments in support of the request to rezone Lots 1-15 of Wild Goose Estates as a PUD to reduce side setbacks. Hank Hechimovich stated that the reduced setback requirement would make more diverse housing choices possible. MacGlashan responded that a PUD should provide additional public benefit in return for zoning concessions and pointed out Vandewalle’s suggestion that larger homes be guaranteed by the developer through Covenants. Hank Hechimovich countered by saying that the point is to give flexibility to customers, not to make building more restrictive through guarantees. MacGlashan repeated that there should be some additional public benefit for making zoning concessions. Hank Hechimovich stated that the additional benefit to the City would be more rapid repayment of the loan but that they would agree to Vandewalle’s suggestion of 1/3 brick or stone façade on this development. Wegener asked MacGlashan whether Mike Slavney’s suggestion on behalf of Vandewalle was to create a step-up in repayment of the loan, and MacGlashan answered that there should be some return in exchange for concessions but not specifically a step-up in repayments. Engels read a statement suggesting a change to the Developer Agreement to demand faster repayment of the loan and interest charges. Dennis Hechimovich passed out pictures of proposed homes and stated that these homes fit on 80-85’ lots in other communities but will not fit a 90’ lot in Juneau. Steffen asked why the setbacks were not dealt with at the outset, and Dennis Hechimovich responded that they made a mistake by not looking closely at the requirements at the time. Hank Hechimovich reminded that they were recruited by the Mayor and Economic Development Director at the time to develop what was a wet farm field and that they will now struggle with an uneven playing field compared to other communities. Schulte suggested that a detailed landscape plan should be included in their proposal, and Hank Hechimovich indicated that they would entertain that but needed some direction. Engels repeated that no concessions should be granted without a faster repayment schedule or interest. Wegener expressed reservations about the PUD approach and suggested that the lots be rezoned as R-2. That would reduce the setback requirements to 9’ on each side, plus allow for overhangs. This is only 2’ different than what the applicants are proposing. It was pointed out that this would allow duplexes to be built along with single-family homes, but Hank Hechimovich indicated that they could use deed restrictions to prevent duplexes. Chairman Bosak asked 3 times whether there were additional comments. The Public Hearing was closed at 7:04 PM.
Approve Rezoning of Lots 1-15 of Wild Goose Estates subdivision as a Planned Unit Development for White Pine Resources In view of the Public Hearing discussion, no action was taken on the PUD request. The consensus of the Commission was that a request to rezone as R-2 would be fair to both parties but that the concession for a 1/3 stone/brick façade should be maintained.
Engels/Gratton to instruct the Clerk/Treasurer to write a letter to White Pine Resources suggesting that $15,000 per year loan repayment be guaranteed on top of the $3,000 per lot sold starting in 2008, to be paid quarterly or semi-annually. Motion carried.
Approve Ordinance Making Amendments to the Zoning Code (Title 17) – Vandewalle & Associates MacGlashan explained that the first step is to approve the text of the zoning ordinance changes and to deal with the revised zoning map later. Several typos were noted, and MacGlashan will send a corrected copy of the ordinance language.
Gratton/Engels to approve Ordinance Making Amendments to the Zoning Code (Title 17), with spelling corrections. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Approve Amendment to Ordinance 17.04.090 (B) Use Restrictions: Prohibiting the use of tents/tarps as accessory structures Wegener/Gratton to approve Amendment to Ordinance 17.04.090 (B) Use Restrictions: Prohibiting the use of tents/tarps as accessory structures, as recommended by Vandewalle & Associates, except to change the 2-day limit to a 5-day limit. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Approve Amendment to Ordinance 17.12.050 Driveways
Mike Laue, City Engineer, proposes to increase widths of driveways and approaches due to current building trends.
Wegener/Schuster to approve Amendment to Ordinance 17.12.050 Driveways, as recommended by the City Engineer. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Approve Amendment to Ordinance 17.04.270 (E) Hearings
Joe Sciascia, City Attorney, recommends that public hearings relating to Title 17 changes be held by the Plan Commission. Today, the ordinance dictates that the Common Council hold the public hearing. The Council would retain the right to hold a 2nd public hearing at their option.
Gratton/Engels to approve Amendment to Ordinance 17.04.270 (E) Hearings, as recommended by the City Attorney. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Approve Amendment to Ordinance 16.52.010 (D) Design Standards, Drainage
Bosak explained that this was a recommendation from the Public Works Committee to make storm sewer stubs for sump pumps available whenever a street project is being done.
Steffen/Gratton to approve Amendment to Ordinance 16.52.010 (D) Design Standards, Drainage, as recommended by the City Engineer. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Building Inspector Update
1. Zoning Administrator Duties
Andrews noted that civil disputes between neighbors can usually be resolved by providing copies of Ordinances. However, the Building Inspector does not want to be put in a policy-making role by initiating actions on violations. Building Inspector is looking for referrals and authorization to bill for enforcement actions.
Wegener/Steffen to recommend to Council that the 20% of permit fees retained, in future years, be dedicated for enforcement of building codes at nuisance properties and that the Plan Commission review referrals to the Building Inspector on a monthly basis. Roll call vote, carried unanimously.
2. Property Maintenance Code enforcement. Andrews indicated that Mary Kay Vogel has not discussed the full property maintenance list with him.
Set Date and Time for Next Meeting. Next meeting will be held on Monday, August 27, 2007.
Steffen/Schuster to adjourn the meeting at 8:47 PM. Motion carried.

Public comments: None
Setback requirements in Wild Goose Estates – Hank Hechimovich
Hechimovich distributed examples of house plans and indicated there was interest in ranch homes with 3-car garages. Only 5 of the 31 house plans will fit the lots under existing setbacks. Slavney asked whether the demand for ranch homes was because of older buyers. Hechimovich responded that it was and that ranch homes also have higher resale values. Slavney discussed the options: a Planned Unit Development (PUD) does not create a precedent and feels it is preferable to changing the R-1 zoning for the entire city; the public negotiates something in return for granting a PUD; it is difficult to make a legal case for variances when platting new ground. Bosak stated that one of his goals as Mayor was to get development started in this area and that the city needs to do something to get it moving to recover our funds. Steffen pointed out that the developer knew the rules and that the Commission convinced them to increase the lot sizes originally. Hechimovich admitted that they missed the setback issue when platting, but want to make the lots saleable now. Chase inquired about the utility development in place and whether lots could be consolidated, and Hechimovich indicated that utilities are in place for Lots 1-19. Gratton suggested that another area of the development could be opened for these larger homes. Hechimovich indicated this was not preferable because of the cost of installing more infrastructure. Steffen asked whether a PUD would require a use discussion for each lot. Slavney responded that this current discussion could serve as the Concept phase of the PUD process and that the submittal could be a simple reduction of the setbacks. Issues were raised about reducing setback requirements such as access to back yards and expectations of other developers. Slavney pointed out that changing the setbacks for all R-1 districts would allow additions on existing homes and that a PUD could serve as a trial in the direction of smaller setbacks.
Schulte/Schuster to recommend reduced setbacks – a total of 18’ with a minimum of 8’ on one side – to be requested by the developer on Lots 1-15 as a Planned Unit Development. Ayes: Schulte, Schuster, Steffen, Bosak. Nayes: Engels, Gratton. Abstain: Wegener.
Discuss use of tents/tarps as accessory structures and possibly approve Ordinance change
MacGlashan distributed an example Ordinance from Watertown. Slavney noted that such structures are not durable, are not safe in a storm due to debris, and are not assessed.
Engels/Steffen to direct the planning consultants to prepare a Code amendment to prohibit tents/tarps as accessory structures. Roll call vote carried unanimously.
Assignment of Zoning Administrator duties
Sheldon explained the document in the packet resulting from the previous month’s distinction between enforcement and administrative duties of the zoning administrator. Sheldon pointed out that not all of the Building Inspector’s enforcement duties were compensated through building permit revenue so arrangements would have to be made. Gratton asked whether those costs could be shifted to the violator, and Slavney felt this was a question for the City Attorney. Steffen asked about the enforcement duty relating to existing signs. Sheldon felt that this was just a grandfather clause for signs in existence at the time the sign ordinance was created. Slavney indicated that most investigation of zoning violations is complaint based and that the zoning administrator must make the determination whether a violation exists. An invitation before the Plan Commission or Board of Appeals would show community-wide interest in resolving the violation. Any appeal of enforcement action would go to the Board of Appeals under our ordinances. The Plan Commission Secretary was directed to invite the Building Inspector to the next meeting to discuss enforcement processes and to get examples of zoning violation letters from other communities.
Discussion on Proposed Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance Text and Map
MacGlashan distributed 4 maps and explained their contents: Map 1 is current zoning, Map 2 is proposed zoning, Map 3 is proposed changes to residential properties, Map 4 is proposed changes to non-residential properties. Slavney led a discussion of the proposed changes. The following was noted during the discussion: the lots on the west side of S. Main Street from South Street to Cross Street were intended to be rezoned as R-1A; the property (old cheese factory) on the corner of E. Center Street (north side) and N. Depot Street should be rezoned as B-1. Slavney recommended that the future steps involving the maps start in September to provide for public participation and recommended that the zoning text amendments start in August. Discussion continued about the proper treatment for properties on the west side of Main Street, proposed on Map 3 as a rezoning from B-2 to R-1A. They have a commercial appearance but are used as residential: single family, 2-unit, and 3-unit. Options discussed included: leave them non-conforming as a B-2, change the R-1A definition to include existing 3-unit apartments, leave the 3-unit apartments non-conforming under the R-1A zoning. The consensus was to accept the proposed R-1A rezoning and leave the 3-unit apartments non-conforming as a means of eventually eliminating them.

Public comments: None
Setback requirements in Wild Goose Estates – Hank Hechimovich
Hechimovich reviewed the history of the development. It was intended to be a higher density, low cost set of lots with an agreement to repay the city loan based on lot sales. Hechimovich is now finding a desire for larger ranch houses or 3-car garages and that these do not meet the setback requirements on the lots. As a result, sales are being lost to other communities. He wants smaller side setbacks and believes that the large square footage requirements in Juneau still prevent crowding. Steffen observed that the lot sizes were increased originally at the suggestion of the Committee. Sheldon noted that the Plan Commission had no authority to grant variances from the Ordinance. If there is a desire to reduce setbacks, possible alternatives may include: a change to the Ordinances, a customized zoning plan for the development by use of a PUD, a variance request to the Board of Appeals. Wegener advised against the variance request since variances are not intended for new development. The Commission directed the clerk to forward the Hechimovich materials to Mike Slavney of Vandewalle and ask for his recommendations. The topic should appear on the agenda for the next meeting when Slavney will be in attendance.
Ordinance 17.04.060 Definitions – “Accessory use or structure”
Discussion centered on whether tents or tarps qualify under the Ordinance definition. Gratton noted that 17.04.100(C)(1) specifies placement of accessory structures and restricts their usage in front yards. Engels noted that 17.04.090(F) defines temporary usage. Commission directed the clerk to ask Slavney for recommended language to eliminate the use of tents and tarps as accessory structures. A complaint was received about a front yard restriction violation and was acted upon. (AMENDED 6-25-07.) Clerk was also directed to notify the Building Inspector of the front yard restriction for action.
Ordinance 17.04.170 Zoning administrator designed - Enforcement responsibility for Conditional Use Permits
Sheldon pointed out the frequent use of the “zoning administrator” term within Title 17. In some cases, it refers to duties being carried out by the Building Inspector. In some cases, the duties are being carried out by the Clerk/Treasurer as the Plan Commission secretary. In some cases, nobody is really carrying out the duties – the enforcement mentioned in this section as one example. It was also noted that the Building Inspector is compensated through building permits so a payment mechanism needs to be established if Building Inspector is responsible for enforcement. (Wegener departs at 7:32.) Engels noted that 17.04.170 makes a distinction between administration and enforcement. The Commission suggested that the Clerk/Treasurer be designated as the administrative officer and the Building Inspector as the enforcement officer. Clerk was directed to ask Slavney for an opinion and to discuss the concept with Building Inspector. Building Inspector will be invited to discuss at a future meeting. Sheldon mentioned a specific violation of a Conditional Use Permit at the Dodgeland Center that triggered this agenda item. Parking areas designated by the permit were not followed over the past winter. Commission directed that a reminder be sent to the tenants and owner.

The letter of approval from the Wisconsin Department of Administration and the signed Utility Agreement from Mike Raasch were noted.
Discuss and possibly amend Ordinance 17.16.150 (E), Sign restrictions.
Gratton explained the Chamber’s intent to create signs for city events to be placed at city entrances. Discussion followed about attaching these signs to existing city signs. The consensus was that the Ordinance did not apply to city property and that the preference is to stack such signs.
Discuss garage at 112/114 E. Oak Street.
Bosak reported that the building permit requiring removal of the garage is open until September, 2008 so removal can’t be forced at this time. The consensus was to have Bosak approach Silk about removing the garage prior to the parking lot improvements.
Land use inventory – recommendations from Vandewalle.
Revisions to the example letters to homeowners drafted by Vandewalle were distributed. The Commission noted the benefits to homeowners in terms of lenders and insurers cited in the letters. Schuster questioned whether there would be any out-of-pocket costs to homeowners. There is no cost to the homeowner, but clerk/treasurer was directed to relay this comment to Vandewalle. Clerk/Treasurer was also directed to invite Vandewalle personnel to the next meeting.
Set Date and Time for Next Meeting. Due to the Memorial Day holiday, the next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 22 nd, at 6:30 PM.

Review and Possibly Approve Letter of Intent – Gilbert Bennett. (AMENDED 3-22-07 at 8:00 AM)
Sheldon noted that the letter was received after the original agenda had been posted. The form would indicate that the farm land is to be split off and sold for continued farming operations. Engels indicated that Bennett’s son did the farming.
Engels/Steffen to approve the Letter of Intent for Gilbert Bennett. Roll call vote carried unanimously.
Approve Certified Survey Map for Parcel 2143-036, 328/330 S. Fairfield, for Jaystone Properties
Finding of Facts from the March 22 nd Board of Appeals meeting was distributed.
Gratton/Engels to approve the Certified Survey Map for Parcel 2143-036, 328/330 Fairfield, for Jaystone Properties. Roll call vote carried unanimously.
Approve Conditional Use Permit for MDB Projects LLC for the purpose of operating an amusement arcade at 156 E. Oak Street
Wegener/Schulte to table. Motion carried.
Discuss and possibly approve annexation of Town of Oak Grove Parcel 034-1115- 1643-001, 6107 N. Fairfield, to the City of Juneau for Michael Raasch Raasch stated that the petition was due to septic problems and to avoid constructing a mound system. Wegener explained that extension of water/sewer to the property would require annexation to the City. Also, the situation is different from the water/sewer extension to the neighboring property. That extension was done as part of a City construction project so that the contractor could extend to the property line. In this case, Raasch is responsible all the way to the main, including any street restoration due to a street opening. A Utility agreement must be in place prior to annexation. In response to the Wisconsin Department of Administration questionnaire, the consensus is that R-1 zoning would be assigned.
Gratton/Engels to approve annexation of the Raasch property to the City of Juneau, with the stipulation that the property be zoned R-1. Ayes: Gratton, Engels, Bosak, Steffen, Schulte. Abstain: Wegener.
Building Inspector update
Vogel reported that some of the properties subject to the property maintenance code letters are on the foreclosure list. She could place a work order on these properties effective with any subsequent sale after the foreclosure. It was noted that tickets have been paid for the 134 S. Main Street property instead of doing the required maintenance and that failure to pay a municipal ticket has no follow-up. Discussion followed about garage access through the City parking lot for this property. It was noted that Plan Commission had directed access via Acorn Lane, but this is not being done. Vogel will send a reminder letter, and Mayor Bosak will discuss parking regulations at the City parking lot with Police Chief Oestreich. Vogel reported that 12 out of 81 properties remain an issue and that about half made a serious effort to comply. Vogel was directed to continue with her efforts and to report back in a few months. In response to a question, Vogel believes that the Silk sign is just letters instead of a picture display and that the State-approved plans called for razing of the old garage.

Public Hearing – Conditional Use Permit for MDB Projects LLC for the purpose of operating an amusement arcade at 156 E. Oak Street
Michael Becker of MDB Projects described the proposed use, emphasizing the use of internet surveillance and part-time manned supervision. Citizens expressed concerns about operating hours extending past youth curfew times and about the impacts of not having manned supervision at all times. Concerns about the lack of supervision included: mingling of adults from the bars with youth in the later night hours, bicycles/skateboards being left on the sidewalks in the area, curfew violations, attracting persons intending to prey on youth, improper conduct such as fighting/drinking, an attraction only for those youth without strict parental supervision, available telephones for emergency contacts, liability issues in case of injuries. Concern was also expressed about the general atmosphere being created in the City – some people have moved to Juneau to have a small town atmosphere, but big city atmosphere is moving in. In response to comments, Becker indicated: it may not be economically feasible to have manned supervision at all times; he would be providing something for youth to do, and it is parental responsibility to enforce curfews, etc.; he will look into having telephones available for emergencies; insurance will be in place to handle liability issues. He is also looking for some direction as to what level of manned supervision the City would find mandatory. Bosak called 3 times for additional comments or questions. The Public Hearing was closed at 7:07 PM.
Approve Conditional Use Permit for MDB Projects LLC for the purpose of operating an amusement arcade at 156 E. Oak Street
Commissioners discussed their reactions to the comments heard at the Public Hearing. Becker indicated that he may be able to accommodate manned supervision at crucial times and earlier closing. Wegener reminded that a Conditional Use permit can be revoked at any time if stipulations of the permit are violated.
Wegener/Schulte to table the matter for 30 days to allow Mr. Becker to modify the business plan to identify hours of manned supervision. Ayes: Wegener, Schulte, Gratton, Bosak. No: Engels, Druecke.
Review conditions placed on approval of Amendment of Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning plan for 307/319 N. Main Street (former Immaculate Conception Church)

Discuss and possibly approve change to Ordinance 17.08.210 (2) (a) & (b)
Sheldon described the various lot width requirements in the existing Ordinances and the Vandewalle suggestion to change the requirement for zero-lot line duplexes. Wegener/Gratton to recommend change to the Ordinance to reduce lot width from 50’ to 40’ for zero-lot line duplexes. Discussion followed that this may open the door for future development with minimal lot sizes. Motion failed unanimously.
Discuss land division at 328/330 S. Fairfield (Parcel 2143-036) as zero lot line duplexes.
Engels/Druecke to recommend granting a lot width variance to the Board of Appeals for the sale of the duplex at 328/330 S. Fairfield, since a change to the Ordinance would be detrimental to future development. Zero-lot line construction standards must be enforced. Ayes: Engels, Druecke, Bosak, Gratton. Abstain: Wegener, Schulte.
Approve completion of CBRF Identification of Hazards Request for Evergreen Manor III Inc. at 239 Victory Street. Consensus that no hazards exist and that Clerk/Treasurer should complete the submission to the State.

Public Hearing – Amendment of Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning plan for 307/319 N. Main Street (former Immaculate Conception Church)
Chairman Bosak opened the Public Hearing at 6:31 PM. In the absence of the Tracy’s, Bosak called for questions or comments from citizens. Kjorness reported that he was representing his son who owns the property directly west of the church and asked whether the developers have any plans to build in the open space between the parking lot and 143 W. North Street. Bosak responded that there has been nothing in the plans to indicate this. Sara Tracy arrived and confirmed that there are no plans to build in that open space. Kjorness also asked about the responsibility for snow removal on the property west of the parking lot, and Bosak indicated that this is the property owner’s responsibility. Bosak called for questions or comments from the Commissioners. Gratton noted that the proposed lot line is north of the sidewalk in the picture looking to the east, but it is different in the picture looking west. Sara Tracy indicated that a 4-5’ jog is intended. Wegener asked Sheldon about comments from planning consultant Mike Slavney. Sheldon referred to the email included with the packet, in which Slavney indicates that a PUD can have multiple lots and owners and provides great flexibility on setbacks. Schulte questioned whether any thought was given to filling the entire tunnel. Sara Tracy indicated that this was not considered due to cost. Also, a mason will fix the leak in the tunnel. She indicated that the tunnel will be blocked at the steel door leading to the church. Bosak called 3 times for comments or questions. The Public Hearing was closed at 6:40 PM.
Approve Amendment of Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning plan for 307/319 N. Main Street (former Immaculate Conception Church)
Engels asked whether the State is aware of this plan to divide the parcel. Sara Tracy responded that they were aware. Wegener expressed concern about the plan for blocking the tunnel. He indicated that a fire break should be on the property line, or alternatively 2 barriers be built within the boundaries of the 2 properties. Discussion followed on the placement of the barrier and whether this was covered in the State-approval process.
Druecke/Schulte to approve the amendment of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning plan for 307/319 N. Main Street, contingent upon a fire break being constructed in the tunnel on the property line and contingent upon review of the State-approved plans. Ayes: Druecke, Schulte, Steffen, Bosak, Engels, Gratton. Abstain: Wegener.
Discuss Community Living Arrangements
Sheldon reported a contact from Jim Rosin about starting a Community Living Arrangement on a property on W. North Street. State statute allows for such facilities without regard to zoning. The statute was referred to City Attorney Sciascia, and his response was included in the packet. Sheldon asked whether the Commission wished to explore an Ordinance change to give the city as much oversight as possible for these arrangements. The consensus of the Commission was to not change the Ordinance at this time and to review these arrangements on a case-by-case basis, as we become aware of them.
Discuss possible rezoning & land division for sale to County
Sheldon reported that Peter Thompson of the County Highway Commission had asked about the possibility of a land division and rezoning for a County purchase of a property at 404 N. Main Street. Druecke suggested that the Mayor tell the County that there would be no opposition from the city to this purchase, when the Mayor meets with the County about the Center Street project. The consensus of the Commission was that the Mayor should follow through on this suggestion.
