Staff said the single-story building needs limited exterior work: a concrete replacement in front where pavement had been removed for a water service, an ADA ramp and railing to access a small front patio, repainted/restriped existing parking stalls and a new masonry dumpster enclosure on an existing concrete pad. Staff recommended approval provided the applicant add a barrier (bollards, planters or railing) separating the patio from drive lanes, add foundation landscaping along the south and east sides and at the top of the patio retaining wall, re-stripe parking stalls to match the plan prior to occupancy, and obtain required sign permits.

The applicant said the owner purchased the adjacent property and will use the neighboring parcel for vehicle storage/repairs; he confirmed plans to replace plantings and add planters and landscaping around the patio. Staff calculated a zoning-required parking minimum of 18 stalls (based on seats and shift staffing) but the site has 11 spaces; the applicant requested and the commission granted an exception to the parking minimum, noting that historic parking minimums often exceed actual need and that nearby properties provide additional capacity. The commission included a condition that plantings, patio barriers and striping be approved by staff prior to occupancy.

The motion to approve the minor site plan and architectural review, with the listed staff conditions and staff approval of landscaping details, passed by voice vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Waukesha, WI - Plan Commission on 2025-05-28 6:00 PM - May 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Plan Commission approved a minor site plan and architectural review for a proposed restaurant at 818 West St. Paul (Las Casuellas), including ADA improvements, a dumpster enclosure and a requested exception to the parking minimums.","taxTitle","Waukesha City, Waukesha County, Wisconsin","taxId",9326,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6545540,"Plan commission approves second drive-through lane, canopy and interior remodel for Culver’s on West Sunset",803,1982000,2785000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3591055-e4ad5bff2b12e2965516c0cef1e73618&start=1982&end=2785","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3591055-e4ad5bff2b12e2965516c0cef1e73618/thumbnail_1982000.jpg","/articles/6545540/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Plan-commission-approves-second-drive-through-lane-canopy-and-interior-remodel-for-Culvers-on-West-Sunset","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545540-bf12086a015adcb8b7642fc69b137cb2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771023741&Signature=BvTDEL2HHCQtesnD0fTb1LIO7QCLtR5cdIYq25SVqLvkuWZzLi9NwTZLB16udrG1bBhAhaWUEjMd-~3hbRKtje05bcLgxlr0yacQd28mUTZ3y~Ax39mxR-ppkJpC0KCbv3TnfUf1cQdB7d0I8JeqEtz19ozeOZhAleisK~MxwoBeZ1HnykLvfZJalweqXo5iTv70lucwVxsBVY2V3gx4ZTOEORK5COFFd1rJKtzpPkGMSFCSgfyB-Ar0CmBlR57MRbTisHNfJH-EuSjORvnmrlmjnwTNARIRyZzzSgaQcLC4YCoDG4vbbu93cFrIem78DTlrunSXh9TK69DWY-~~ng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waukesha City Plan Commission on May 28 unanimously approved a final site plan and architectural review allowing Culver’s at 840 West Sunset Drive to add a second drive-through order station, a new canopy and interior remodeling.

Robin, a staff presenter, said the project will repave the existing parking lot, add a second drive-through lane on the north end of the property, add a canopy on the west side of the building and update signage and a mural. Staff recommended approval with standard conditions that all engineering, fire department, and water utility comments be addressed and that all signs be permitted per city code.

Fred Coles, who identified himself as the owner of the Compass on Sunset and said he is a neighbor, spoke to confirm the applicant intends to repave and restripe the lot and that operations are expected to continue during the work. Commissioners discussed queuing and circulation; staff and the applicant representatives said the two-lane drive-through will use a single inbound queue that splits into two order lanes, a configuration used at other fast-food sites. Alderman Dan Manion (District 7) commented that a mini median installed in a prior Sunset project has reduced some problematic cut-throughs and near-misses.

A motion to approve, subject to the listed department comments and permitting requirements, passed unanimously.","The Plan Commission unanimously approved Culver’s plan to repave the lot, add a second drive-through order station, a canopy and interior renovations at 840 West Sunset Drive, with standard permitting and engineering conditions.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6545544,"Plan commission OKs 14,000-square-foot rooftop addition at Waukesha Memorial Hospital",565,1471000,2036000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3591055-e4ad5bff2b12e2965516c0cef1e73618&start=1471&end=2036","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3591055-e4ad5bff2b12e2965516c0cef1e73618/thumbnail_1471000.jpg","/articles/6545544/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Plan-commission-OKs-14000-square-foot-rooftop-addition-at-Waukesha-Memorial-Hospital","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545544-d16e3489683448f96a0342142f6fe674/orig.mp4?Expires=1771023741&Signature=AZhH104km0ZlVgzBwVWr4nPvG002dMhZDlwO~MQZEvMCy2mF4nwmCW7eYfPxbbsL6zKZmqeG5PXzuoq59fZqZqWXeep9Tl3iOXIL2Hg6hZnqJmAHcd2WtytJgceg93dBHjXAQmAA9DY7a5uDT26XlhX7nigmRrF5LMXfZhoneQ2s9NoHvV8CUBkU3tkEvmgPJeHcTAkZT6Y1pcPtMt0zh-OSg6TQkKJAjkIUNYq~T7YZCUhUUvYvBIAlJFZf1zs80QBzcGuRWcWlzoCclISKeg9LhjTxT8R5YYxflV0n8jRnRzo3E9NUH8wzTjYmQALqvm5E7y~CzMn3ygHxRkBCHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waukesha City Plan Commission on May 28 unanimously approved final site plan and architectural review for a 14,000-square-foot rooftop addition at Waukesha Memorial Hospital to house surgical support spaces and related mechanical equipment.

Doug, a staff presenter, described the work as an addition over an existing one-story portion of the hospital complex that will tie into ongoing interior surgical renovations. The addition will be largely unseen except from the southeast corner at Dopp Street and Mountain Avenue, staff said, and will match existing brick, window patterns and awnings to blend with the building.

Staff said the project includes closure of roughly 14 windows along the service elevation because of sensitive surgical environment requirements, installation of new roof-level air handling units and a stair extension for rooftop access. Existing rooftop mechanical units are currently painted to blend with the building; the new units will be painted to match. “Staff would recommend approval of the final site plan and architectural review for the 14,000 square foot addition,” Doug said, with the condition that engineering department comments be addressed.

A commissioner moved to approve, with Commissioner Keller seconding. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote. The commission’s approval covers site plan and architectural review; outstanding engineering department comments must be addressed before permits are issued.","The Waukesha City Plan Commission unanimously approved a 14,000-square-foot roof addition and related rooftop mechanical work at Waukesha Memorial Hospital to support surgical renovations, subject to engineering comments.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6545549,"Plan commission tables conditional use permit for trailer rental at Total Flex Gym, requests original CUP records and applicant return",1072,569000,1641000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3591055-e4ad5bff2b12e2965516c0cef1e73618&start=569&end=1641","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3591055-e4ad5bff2b12e2965516c0cef1e73618/thumbnail_569000.jpg","/articles/6545549/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Plan-commission-tables-conditional-use-permit-for-trailer-rental-at-Total-Flex-Gym-requests-original-CUP-records-and-applicant-return","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545549-ac02836b427c4250802022c32c4ef334/orig.mp4?Expires=1771023741&Signature=TPCMSAGMWMfeTnlhdkkua1g~0AefyBKFIga3X~tmPCObfIRre1u3CQV5mQHr22ZP6VvtwFi6c9v51wLHlDXRDwifAkeq3wHwOQ-S6aUpI~f4FgLxh8C0XNUt~1s0ge-INPJ3XLnw2wveJ6O0OMQPYINVEa7v6v5A6URqyrwibDUZ3glTJ92gimMQOw0PBP-vPZAFvnYqdlSd~HofP2XF39eRkNp7y4V8dwN~zypIdUPx8dDWEH8nn3bwHpyBdbYE3RM8cGKs3YCrK2EtBTwPVqcSC2IdGJNLuzJjTyckTbJjJUNbqccGzgPDnaPybM7h4ZKI6gylpMuk17G0CudP3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waukesha City Plan Commission on May 28 tabled consideration of a conditional use permit that would allow a trailer rental business at Total Flex Gym, 400 Southwest Avenue.

Robin, a staff presenter, described the request as a conditional use to operate a trailer rental business alongside the gym in the M-1 Light Manufacturing District. Staff noted the site has 88 parking stalls and presented recommended conditions including that engineering, fire department and water utility comments be addressed; trailers and vehicles must be parked in designated parking spaces; no more than 25 trailers on-site at a time; semi trailers must be removed by Aug. 1, 2025; rentals limited to trailers only (no sales of personal vehicles or trailers); trailers cannot be used for business storage; and no “for sale” display signs.

Commissioners raised enforcement and compliance concerns. Commissioner Montego and Commissioner Francoure said they frequently drive by the property and observed storage and equipment spread across the site that, in their view, did not match prior commitments to keep outdoor fitness equipment out of public view. Robin said staff had not received public complaints but confirmed semi trailers and “junk” remained and that the semi trailers were subject to removal by Aug. 1. Commissioners discussed options including tabling the new CUP until staff locates the original conditional use permit for the gym and the applicant appears to answer questions.

A motion to table the conditional use permit until the next meeting, with staff to provide the prior CUP documentation and for the applicant to attend, passed unanimously. Staff and commissioners said the matter will return to the commission; the chair noted the follow-up would not require a new public hearing.","A public hearing on a conditional use permit to add a trailer rental operation at Total Flex Gym, 400 Southwest Avenue, was tabled to the commission's next meeting so staff can locate the original conditional use permit and the applicant can appear.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6545553,"Waukesha plan commission approves ground-mounted solar array at 2101 Airport Road",492,195000,687000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3591055-e4ad5bff2b12e2965516c0cef1e73618&start=195&end=687","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3591055-e4ad5bff2b12e2965516c0cef1e73618/thumbnail_195000.jpg","/articles/6545553/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Waukesha-plan-commission-approves-ground-mounted-solar-array-at-2101-Airport-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545553-92b2fde71196bddcaa4b0f88c008541f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771023741&Signature=NNnaF1mBvbggEbOTIphjA~PFI1NrWqKPNiSGJug0Egicrau5qmMXXQ-ooFcsiGxNAyZyCgOZgTOo6vWqY6nK5ZuY6~MAgE~xAkaETNyyiNRtwc0CoTb9nBJS19G2djRGPS24-K70XzOuQHyxWufM2Z6URGIklhyMEDVuH3BosaoQx9L1VkKcq449kMYVUFtuOOjvnzzEM2rPt~24-86OkKvvigkzSGSo8fskRMX1IZkQReuP19pjJcsMU8H9p8~Sum7Nozo0hXqsU9Sffwrf3w44fPfugwerDzj7KqQ80uDE9E~~LOEYHWjb-lIKjzmfbVe4JcPDll~yjoEfHorx4A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waukesha City Plan Commission on May 28 unanimously approved a final site plan and architectural review to install a ground-mounted solar array at 2101 Airport Road.

Staff said the proposal from Watts Up Engineering would place six rows of 60 panels (360 panels total) on the rear half of the lot south of Northview Road. The panel array will occupy about 24,000 square feet, measuring roughly 97 feet by about 250 feet, with a maximum height of about 10 feet. The surface underneath and between the panels will be covered with a dustless gravel to reduce maintenance and to increase reflection, which staff said improves generation from the undersides of the panels.

Charlie, a staff presenter, told the commission the project includes an underground service from the array to the building and shown meter/inverter disconnect locations. He also said the plan shows additional transformer equipment on the north side of the building. “Staff recommends approval of site plan and architecture review for the proposed solar array at 2101,” Charlie said, with the condition that all engineering department comments be addressed.

Commission members had no outstanding technical objections on setbacks or visibility; presenters noted the site is in an industrial/warehouse area with limited public visibility. The commission motion to approve, made during the meeting, passed unanimously.

The approval is limited to the site plan and architectural review; engineering department comments must be resolved before permits are issued. The project will be installed on the rear green area of the parcel and oriented south to optimize solar collection.

A record of the commission roll call at the start of the meeting listed Jennifer Wallner, Wells, Moulson, Frank Coeur, Riley and Monteo as present; the final motion passed unanimously.","The Waukesha City Plan Commission unanimously approved a final site plan and architectural review to install a 360-panel ground-mounted solar array on the rear half of 2101 Airport Road, subject to engineering comments.","actionData","errors"]
