Village Planner Recommendations:
The Village of Pewaukee Plan Commission approves a duplex for the property located at 203 E. Wisconsin Avenue subject to the following conditions:
-
- Any conditions made by the Plan Commission at their meeting of November 13, 2025, as noted in the minutes.

Approval by the Village Building Inspector, if granted, shall be solely for the benefit of the Village of Pewaukee, and shall not be relied upon by the petitioner or others as proof of structural integrity or safety of any structure on the property, or as proof of compliance with any particular construction standard that would apply to new construction. The petitioner shall independently determine the suitability of all structures on the property for the petitioner’s intended uses.
- This approval is granted for the express conditions stated herein. Changes or alterations including, but not limited to, a change in use, premises, lands, or ownership of the property in question shall require a new Business Site Plan approval with all the zoning procedures at the time being followed. The allowed uses of the property must at no time be hazardous, harmful, obnoxious, offensive, or a nuisance by reasons of appearance, noise, dust, smoke, odor, or other similar factors. Any use not specifically listed, as permitted, shall be considered to be prohibited, except as may be otherwise specified herein.

Department of Public Works Recommendations:
-
- After construction, provide televising video showing Sanitary sewer lateral from basement to the main. The lateral needs to be reviewed for structural integrity and potential infiltration. The Village staff or designated representative will review the sewer lateral video and check if the lateral condition is adequate or needs rehabilitation. If the work cannot be completed prior to issuance of permit or occupancy, then posting a $5,000 financial guarantee is acceptable to allow applicant to proceed. This includes costs for televising and potential work on sewer lateral.
- Currently, there are several existing parking spaces along E. Wisconsin Avenue in front of this parcel. Provide plan showing existing and proposed striping in street. Sand blasting and restriping will be needed to remove allowed parking in front of future driveways. Add this work to plan.
- Provide post construction as-built survey showing proposed plan grades were constructed.
- A proposed driveway approach is shown. Label width of driveway approach and driveway at back of sidewalk and at curb and gutter. A right of way permit is needed for construction of driveway approach. The sidewalk and curb works should follow Village specifications. Add additional spot grades for proposed driveway and sidewalk. The sidewalk cross slope grades cannot exceed 2%.
- An existing driveway opening in concrete curb and gutter is located that does not align with the proposed driveway approach. The existing concrete curb and gutter and sidewalk needs to be removed and replaced in this section. Add to drawing. A right of way permit is needed.

Motion carried 6-0.
b. Review, discussion and possible action on Conditional Use Grant request of applicant Aspen Homes, Inc, to construct a single-family home. The proposed home requires reduced setbacks which is permissible only through the issuance of a Conditional Use Grant on a legal non-conforming lot (Section 40.210). This 0.115-acre parcel, located at 247 Park Avenue / PWV 0899214, is zoned R-5 Residential Detached District with a Lakefront Overlay. Property Owner Megan & Luke Porath and applicant is Aspen Homes, Inc – Shelly Basso.
Lyons provided a brief overview of the proposal, noting the request to reduce setbacks on all sides and maximize impermeable surface on the lot. Lyons stated that this request is consistent with neighboring nonconforming lakefront properties; however, it is important for Plan Commission to consider – is the northwest setback warranted?
Comm. Jelacic asked for clarification on the location of the storm sewer - is it on this property or the neighboring property?
Comm. Grabowski confirmed that it is on the adjacent property.
Discussion and concerns from the Commission followed.
Attorney Gralinski clarified that the Conditional Use Grant pertains solely to the reduction of setbacks, not the overall project. He expressed concerns regarding several Department of Public Works recommendations, advising that items 1, 2, 7, 9, and 10 should not be adopted as they are unrelated to setback reductions.
Discussion was held amongst the commission regarding the Department of Public Works recommendations and potential impact.
Luke Porath @ 247 Park Ave (owner) asked the Commission if the consideration would be different if they moved 1.5ft from the East side of the house to the West.
The Commission members shared their thoughts on the owners question.

-
- That all conditions made by the Plan Commission at their meeting of November 13, 2025, are met.
- That this conditional use allows a new home on the above-mentioned property to be constructed 5.75’ feet from the Park Avenue property line.
- That this conditional use allows a new home on the above-mentioned property to be constructed 7.24’ feet from the southwest side property line.
- That this conditional use requires the new home on the above-mentioned property to be constructed 11.77’ feet from the water side rear property line, maintaining the same offset as the existing home.
- That this conditional use requires the new home on the above-mentioned property to be constructed 10’ or more from the northeast side property line.
- That this conditional use requires the applicant to revise the maximum allowed lot coverage to be in compliance with the setback / offsets requirements as outline in items 2-5 above and shall only exceed the maximum allowable 30% to the minimum amount necessary to comply with the above referenced setback / offset requirements. An updated site plan including the updated calculations for the maximum building coverage shall be submitted to Village Staff for review and approval prior to issuance of permits.
- This approval is subject to the Petitioner complying at all times with the plans and documents presented to the Village of Pewaukee Plan Commission or as required to be modified herein.
- The Petitioner shall satisfy all comments, conditions, and concerns of the Village of Pewaukee Plan Commission, Village Engineer and Village Planner for the site plan, and other documentation.
- Building Inspection. The Petitioner and/or Property Owner shall comply with any and all recommendations by the Village Building Inspector (or designee) prior to the issuance of an occupancy & use permit for the subject property. Approval by the Village Building Inspector, if granted, shall be solely for the benefit of the Village of Pewaukee, and shall not be relied upon by the petitioner or others as proof of structural integrity or safety of any structure on the property, or as proof of compliance with any particular construction standard that would apply to new construction. The petitioner shall independently determine the suitability of all structures on the property for the petitioner’s intended uses.
- This approval is granted for the express conditions stated herein. Changes or alterations including, but not limited to, a change in use, premises, lands, or ownership of the property in question shall require a new conditional use approval with all the zoning procedures at the time being followed. The allowed uses of the property must at no time be hazardous, harmful, obnoxious, offensive, or a nuisance by reasons of appearance, noise, dust, smoke, odor, or other similar factors. Any use not specifically listed, as permitted, shall be considered to be prohibited, except as may be otherwise specified herein.
- The Property Owner shall allow Village of Pewaukee representatives to inspect the premises following a 24-hour notice for the purposes of determining compliance with this approval.
- The Petitioner and/or Property Owner shall obtain the appropriate permits from the Village of Pewaukee.
- The Petitioner and/or Property Owner shall, on demand, reimburse the Village of Pewaukee for all costs and expenses of any type incurred by the Village in connection with the review and approval of this application, including, but not limited to, the cost of professional services incurred by the Village for the review and preparation of required documents, attendance at meetings or other related professional services as well as to enforce the conditions in this approval due to a violation of these conditions.
Department of Public Works Recommendations:
-
- Provide televising video showing Sanitary sewer lateral from building to the main. The lateral needs to be reviewed for structural integrity and potential infiltration. The Village staff or designated representative will review the sewer lateral video and check if the lateral condition is adequate or needs rehabilitation. If the work cannot be completed prior to issuance of permit or occupancy, then posting a $5,000 financial guarantee is acceptable to allow applicant to proceed. This includes costs for televising and potential work on sewer lateral.
- Show existing Village storm sewer pipe and outfall from Park Avenue to lake on drawing. Convey storm sewer and drainage easement to Village for existing storm sewer pipe and drainage swale. Provide exhibit and boundary description to Village for easement. The Village Attorney can prepare the easement document. The Village has another nearby storm sewer pipe, similar to the storm sewer pipe on this lot that needs to be relayed. Adequate width is needed to allow the pipe to be relayed if and when needed, and overland drainage from street to lake. Typically, a storm sewer and drainage easement is 20 feet to allow a backhoe to relay pipe. The proposed drawing shows a proposed width of 8.75 feet from house to lot line. Currently, there is approximately 24 feet of width which would allow access to relay pipe and provide adequate drainage path. The easement width on this lot should be at least 17 feet.
- Since there are four catch basins in front of this lot, this appears to be a low point for street out to the lake. If the Village storm sewer would plug, overland flow paths are needed to allow the street to drain which in this case, appears to be along both sides of the existing and proposed house. The existing east side layout allows for approximately 24 feet. The proposed filling with the 855 contours should be adjusted remove filling and to better allow a wider drainage swale to lake and not push drainage onto adjoining lots.
- The draft stamp should be removed from Plat of Survey for submittal.
- Confirm if front easterly lot corner was set.
- What is the existing elevation of first floor and garage floor?
- The location of the driveway approach is shifting to the west.
- A right of way permit and driveway permit are needed to install the driveway. Follow the Village driveway specifications. Label the width of the driveway on drawing.
- The existing concrete curb and gutter on the east end of the drawing will need to be removed and replaced to restore to vertical face curb and gutter. The frame of the catch basin will need to change.
- On the west end of the driveway, the existing catch basin will need a new frame since the structure will now be in the driveway.
- If any of these existing storm sewer structures are in need of repair, this work should be coordinated with Village to allow rebuild or replacement of structure prior to pouring of new concrete driveway. The Village will review the structures and existing storm sewer pipe soon. The Village will also review the condition of the existing storm sewer pipe along two sides of the property.
- Label the location of the curb stop valve box for the water service on drawing.
- A title report should be obtained to confirm if any existing easements are located on the property. Submit copy of title report to Village. The survey does not show an easement for the existing storm sewer pipe. The pipe is also not shown.
- The tree near the storm sewer pipe should be removed so the roots do not compromise the pipe. Show on drawing.
- The drawing shows 4 catch basins, however, there only seems to be 3 in Park Avenue. Please confirm.
