Staff said the project includes a new entry vestibule at the southwest entrance, reconfiguration and restriping of existing asphalt parking (including converting former playground space), addition of a 15-foot green-space buffer along Charles Street, new foundation plantings and a new ramp/entry configuration to improve ADA access. The project will replace an existing chain-link fence with a six-foot white vinyl fence along the south property line but staff recommended the fence must stop at the front line of the adjacent house.

Lighting for the renovated building will be directed downward and shielded; staff recommended color temperature of fixtures not exceed 4,000 K and that light spill not exceed 0.5 foot-candle at the property line. The applicant will use an existing dumpster enclosure on the adjacent property; no new outdoor trash storage will be added on site. Staff recommended approval subject to engineering comments and the fence and lighting conditions; the commission approved the plan unanimously.

Staff also noted the landscape buffer’s evergreen shrubs are intended to minimize headlight glare toward neighboring residences. Commissioners and applicant representatives discussed fence placement and materials during the hearing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Waukesha, WI - Plan Commission on 2025-08-27 6:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","Commission approved final site plan and architectural review for Carroll University's Randall Health Sciences build-out at 114 S.

The addition will add worship and gathering space to the north of the existing building and remove an existing building at 1312 to make room for the expansion.

Planning staff said the project will consolidate driveway access to a single widened right-in/right-out entrance at the north end of the site, close two existing drive points, and add a stormwater facility in place of one of the former driveways. The addition includes a new patio facing Grand Avenue, new foundation plantings, and additional windows to improve the Grand Avenue streetscape.

Staff noted the fire department requires the entire building to be sprinklered as part of the addition. The project will also add a dumpster enclosure and will reuse existing utilities where possible. Staff recommended approval of the final site plan and architectural review with all city department comments addressed; the commission approved the plans unanimously.

The commission recorded that surveys and studies showed no conflict between the proposed addition and historic landfill areas near the former city dump; staff said the dump area is mostly capped beneath parking areas and work will not conflict with the capped area.","The commission approved final site plan and architectural review for a roughly 23,700-square-foot addition to Bridge Church at 1314 South Grand Avenue, including reconfigured access and a new stormwater facility; approval contingent on department comments and required sprinkling of the building.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6486231,"Plan Commission approves painted shipping-container storage at Cafe d'Arts, displacing two parking spaces",590,516690,1106700,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5690424-38ced47ab6473640674f9f9cd0069a54&start=516&end=1106","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5690424-38ced47ab6473640674f9f9cd0069a54/thumbnail_516690.jpg","/articles/6486231/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Plan-Commission-approves-painted-shipping-container-storage-at-Cafe-dArts-displacing-two-parking-spaces","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6486231-b9f4d33c68c6c101e1ca1a06652b5860/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184679&Signature=Xk11yjpRTc5Yn2~g9g78mcznVP8QZ4hha96k0vSnv6FSpCccZWqNimYQFUvkDSPHaoqDDXZotIgOte11crr5gjjRdhANJMr91D-WHWx-LthxXfgViJuWrl-p5Wknge3Y7teVq9i6OcQpS2mobGuY6TcQiAilk6hLQGfTrXch2KpeLk86sSa2prSNQIhZjyM6w23ia4lod0MoY4u4Thy2dvFqP7SSTn4ZM88BinxvejKdqPwQFLFv7B-TTrg4w~EnP7pm7pmiqzrTo77waJi3vm9oqhwDZIQTQTMVNoxKj8CJ9vxfQgHoAIjFUYxodoGydqt0qcRuv8lbXAytFT43ZQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waukesha City Plan Commission on Aug. 27 approved a conditional use permit and minor site plan to allow a decoratively painted shipping container for storage at Cafe d'Arts, 830 West Saint Paul Avenue. The approvals require the container to be painted within 30 days and the artwork to be approved by city staff; fire and engineering department comments must also be addressed.

Planning staff described the building footprint and rear parking area, noting the lot currently provides 17 parking spaces and that the container would occupy two rear spaces. The applicant said the container is needed because a sealed shipping container better protects green coffee beans from pests and moisture than a conventional shed. Staff recommended approval with conditions including painting the container within 30 days and addressing fire-department comments.

The commission questioned whether losing parking would be problematic. The applicant said a compact or parallel vehicle could still fit in portions of the lot; the applicant and staff characterized the change as minimal. The fire department review required annual inspection of the container as part of building inspections.

The commission approved the conditional use permit and the minor site-plan/architectural review unanimously with staff conditions. Commissioners noted that painting and final artwork must be submitted to staff for approval before painting.","Commission approved a conditional use permit and minor site plan to place a painted shipping container for coffee-bean storage behind Cafe d'Arts at 830 W.

The permit allows the purchase and limited sale of cigars but prohibits in-person sales at the residence.

Staff presented the request and said the use requires a conditional use permit because the city’s home-occupation code bars keeping or selling stock that was not manufactured on the premises. The staff presentation noted the applicant described the venture as primarily for personal purchase, with occasional sales to friends and family, and that all sales would be delivered to purchasers rather than handled on-site.

The conditional use permit includes conditions that the business be operated as described, that all cigar sales be by delivery only, that no larger assemblies of cigar smokers be held on the property and that the approval applies only to “James Ginther Cigars”; any different tobacco business or an expansion beyond the described use would require further review. Staff also noted the applicant must obtain the city’s cigarette and tobacco products retailer license to sell tobacco products.

George Jers, a member of the Stillwater Court Homeowners Association board, told the commission, “We do not have an objection at all to Jim's request. I’d like to just state that for the record. The community is good with it.” Applicant Jim Ginther corrected the address on the record, saying, “The address that we've got up there is incorrect. It's 3725, not 2725.”

Commissioners moved to approve the permit with staff conditions; the motion passed unanimously. The permit explicitly does not authorize manufacturing cigars on-site beyond what is described in the application, and the commission noted any changes would require new approvals.","Waukesha City Plan Commission on Aug. 27 approved a conditional use permit allowing a delivery-only wholesale cigar business at 3725 Stillwater Court, with conditions limiting on-site activity and requiring proper licensing.","actionData","errors"]
