All right. Thanks mayor Dave Addy is here as well as Architect Mark Follard who's working on this project with mr. Addy Plymouth Lube's has been at the site since 2001 and has been providing superior products and outstanding customer service They offer a wide variety of lubricants all backed by extensive warranties and product guarantees and they serve Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois parts of Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri Plymouth lubricants is presently utilizes the entire facility along with a company called industrial fluid solutions and Industrial fluid solutions is a operated subsidiary of Plymouth lubricants though So right now they're using the first and second floors and the warehouse in space Diamond graphics has been in the city of Sheboygan since 1915 and right now They're working with Plymouth lubricants to locate their facilities in the 30 to a Washington Avenue So basically what we have is we have mr. Addy looking to create Some additional tenant spaces in his facilities because they're they have space available And so diamond graphics has been here for a long time. They do a lot of business in terms of Graphic design business cards letterhead and stationary and they've worked with mr. Addy to try to utilize 3,800 square feet of the 36,000 square feet in the in the facility So there's an opportunity to partner up and have them come in there the only site improvements that we're looking at is the south side of the site along Washington Avenue and You can see from the map that right now that area is all grass in between the driveway and the building The Plymouth lubes is going to be in this section That you can see on that west end And so what the applicant is proposing is to construct eight parking spaces in that area, which you can see On this particular Site plan they would be coming in from Washington Avenue and then heading one way east In front of that space with those diagonal parking spaces and what that allows is for the people of diamond And who are utilizing that office space in front to have the parking right? adjacent to their new tenant space in addition to that tenant space There is the the applicant is going to construct a new entrance canopy, which will match the Canopy I think that's probably a little bit further down It will match the existing canopy that is presently at the Southeast corner of the facility I don't know if it's any further Keep going just a little bit more. There we go. So it's gonna if this it's a similar design concept and this will Now be constructed on that south side to define the area that diamond employees are coming into Other comments would just be that the existing driveway that we were taking a look at is a little closer than five feet To to the actual property line. However, the new parking spaces do meet that requirement There was some discussion about diamond maybe bringing a sign. They were located in the old business park in Talking about maybe bringing their sign on over that's something that diamond I'll just have to talk to staff about when when they're ready for that to occur The only other minor comment is if yeah, that that's a good one and this was just for mr. Adi and it's not that big of a deal but at the North west corner of the building. There's just a little bit of outdoor storage So we were just hoping that if there was anything that was out there that could either be removed or brought inside That would be great. So staff was recommending approval of the Conditional use subject to the conditions you have before you and I can answer any questions and the applicants are here Thank you very much Steve Strouding, would you like to add anything to that? Yeah, Steve did a great job Okay, so I mean really at the bottom line is we're looking to rent out 3,800 square feet That's sat vacant for how many years now We finally have a tenant a local tenant and we'd like to rent that to him and we do have a Accepted lease subject to getting the permits very good. Thank you commissioners any questions Mayor Alderman born I would make a motion to approve subject to conditions Thank you for that motion all the person born. Is there a second? Thank you We have a motion on the floor one last call for any discussion see none You want to take a roll sure mayor call vote mayor aye older person born All right, Ryan sasva Jerry Jones Hi Marilyn Montemire and Dave Huffman all eyes Motion passes. Congratulations. Good luck with the project. Thank you Item 3.2 is a conditional use application by burn Kittler and Natalie Misalits to operate soul and Nova at 1133 Michigan Avenue Steve. All right Well, the applicants are here as well as Kurt Davis who is with advocates architects Who's working on the project and is the owner of the property? We're talking about today. So People may recall that this has been Chevegas and what was the one after Chevegas bar code bar code? So we're taking a look at this site and spend vacant for a little bit of time The applicants are here today looking to operate a new diner restaurant and coffee shop as well as a music venue and So what we're talking about is they're looking at providing food that's locally sourced with an innovative modern approach on classic food cafes Talking about current brunch menus current lunch menus coffee shop And I might let you speak to the types of things you might be looking to provide as far as menu in addition to the food we're also taking a look at having a music venue and So what we're talking about there? It will be a music venue that would provide a larger music venue feel on a smaller scale They aim to offer a venue that will provide their patrons with an experience that goes further than the normal live band bar experience in addition one of the things they would like to do is also there's some space Both inside and outside where they would like to cater to local artists and hold art events where they would be The goal would be to work with artists and have their art hung on the walls and be sold out of their location as well One of the things that really attracted them to the area is the outdoor space right off of Michigan Avenue And they're hoping to completely utilize that space want to Use it as often as they can and the outdoor space truly has great potential to be a hot spot for gatherings Whether it's people just coming for lunch doing homework gathering for meetings It's just a nice spot along Michigan Avenue And so they're looking at doing some improvements along there that would include Removing of the fence that you presently see in the picture and trying to do more of a black wall With maybe some counter space and when there's a video we'll go to that I'll give a nice impression of what they're trying to accomplish with the the property Other than that You know, there's Whether or not the plan commission would want any specifics on the construction of the fencing materials any ideas in terms of the outdoor Furniture anything of that nature one of the things the only thing that Staff would call out to the plan commission is they do kind of show the the solo and nova portion of the sign That's been previously on the arbor not sure We've been trying to get away from the panel signs and whether or not, you know Some of the things we've been trying to do is get some individual letters and whether or not that might look cool instead of a panel Maybe doing something that way that's something that we've been trying to have done as well. So other than that staff You know 1133 Michigan has been vacant for a little bit of time and the proposed solo nova restaurant music venue appears to fit the Neighborhood in this section of Michigan Avenue. Well, so staff is recommending approval Subject to the conditions you have before you. Thank you very much Steve Werner Natalie We'd like to add anything to that before you go forward. Let's just watch the video. Okay So I think everyone gets a nice little feel in terms of what they're looking at Gives a nice sense of what they're trying to accomplish and where they're trying to go with soul and Nova Thank you And you'd like to add any other comments, please step to the podium So a little bit more on the food that we're going to be offering at soul Nova I've worked at Springdale farms out of Plymouth for as many years as I can remember. I've been out there since I was a child So I have a really good relationship with a local organic farm So we'll be getting a lot of local produce in as well as working with like nature's best and other local businesses to bring in some locally sourced produce and Yeah, just getting some some healthy food into Sheboygan and I want to take I currently work as the sous chef at Balmali So I really just want to take my innovation and my modern approach to Cafe foods that we all know and sandwiches and just and just take a new modern approach on it and bring it to a healthy light in Sheboygan And then as far as the outdoor space with the way that everything is going right now in the world There's not a really a lot to do without Special accommodations and this could just really be a real positive and good place for people to come regularly without Having to make special accommodations. There's plenty of room outside equal if not more than what there is inside Thanks for that information appreciate that Commissioners any questions? Mayor this is Alderman born. I have a question go ahead all the person born Thank You mayor And reading over the proposal. I see that Alcohol is going to be served on the premises. Are you going to be applying for? just a beer and wine or also a liquor license and then my Following the follow-up question is one would I imagine attracting a lot of different age groups there? How are you going to patrol your premises? You know to guard against minors being served. Thank you We've already applied for the liquor license and we'll go for the beer and wine at some point I imagine but part of the wall in the front is to limit the access to the building without us being able to allow you in and That's really the largest part of why we want that that barricade in the front So there will also be like a fence there as well Yeah, Alderman person born at the last LHPS license hearings and public safety meeting They did presentations for an open license and the committee awarded it to this Operator so they do have the license for the full liquor Okay, great Brindale Farms and bow Malays that's some good credentials. I wish you good luck. I'd like to make the motion to approve Thank you. Is that with conditions? Was that motion with conditions? Oh Yes, please. Thank you. Okay, then we have a second any other discussion on motion David You're gonna be having some live entertainment is that strictly gonna be indoors it can be Okay, we're gonna have a structure built on the inside for like a stage and possibly like a race-eating. Oh That sounds good. I just was curious as to you know your transition from the restaurant part of it into the nighttime part of it So you're not planning on having music in the outdoor area. Is that correct? No, no, okay. Thank you All right, if there's no other questions Mayor van der Steen I Alderperson borne I Ryan sasma Jerry Jones Marilyn Montemire and Dave Hoffman. Hi all eyes Motion passes. Good luck with your project. It sounds like it's gonna be a lot of fun Item 3.3 is our own number 45 of 2021 and geo number 15 of 2021 from the Sheboygan Christian School filing a petition for direct annexation by unanimous consent For land currently located in the town of Wilson on Greenfield Avenue, Steve. I'm not sure is anyone here from Sheboygan Yeah, that'd be great Did you just be able to introduce yourself to us, please? Sure. My name is John warmest I am the director of finance at the school Welcome. Thank you, John So what we're taking a look at is you can see from the map There's a portion of property that is presently in the town And that is the section that you can see of property in the orange on the map the aerial map in front of you presently the I think Christian Sheboygan Christian School has two homes on there And then there's another gentleman who owns the property to the south who they were working together with the school to Obtain a portion of his property so there's a little bit of land swapping and things like that and and the school has done that they've elected to annex this portion of property because in the next probably the next meeting potentially the school intends on submitting a conditional and use permit for a new addition and They wanted this property to help them meet some of the setbacks and things of that nature and Utilize that property as part of that school addition. So staff was recommending that the city Council or the plant commission and council approved the annexation as submitted Thank you very much Steve Chad One thing to note is the finance committee also had a referral of this document and took the matter up last night Since this property was annexed as a residential property. It had property tax payments against it It will become exempt should the school apply for an exemption in the future but at this point there is some taxes so the finance committee has approved the annexation with the understanding and Agreement that the school would reimburse the city because by state law We have to pay the town the difference of the town taxes for five years So the city would pay the town taxes and then the school would be required to reimburse us It's not much thirty two hundred bucks. I think for the five years Okay, thank you for that information. Would you like to add anything to the presentation? Carry John. Oh, yeah, so no, I would just say that this is you know Like you had mentioned is that this is like a first step in in many and so we were really anxious to get this Moving so we can move forward to our unified campus being the only K through 12 Campus inch boy in County. So this is a big big move for us. Very good Commissioners any other questions or motions? Second thank you for Alderman born Maryland did you have a comment? Maybe I wasn't taking time table. Do you have and what you're going to do with the building on Geely on? Geely our Intention our intention is to sell it. We have a couple of In perspective buyers the big problem has been is when to your point is what our timetable is Currently we are hoping to break ground as soon as we get approval Obviously the current state of I'm smiling under here, but obviously the current state of both COVID and Schools has left us in a little bit of a review standpoint But as it stands today, we anticipate to move forward to break ground yet this fall so that next year in school We could be in unified campus out at Greenfield Avenue. Thank you any other discussion Mayor Alderman born go ahead all the person born Thank You mayor. I just wanted to mention that Christian high school is in my district 10 Ward 26 and This is going to be an excellent addition to that property. I'm looking forward to it. Thank you. Thank you for those comments Seeing no other discussion Mayor van der steen I older person born I Ryan sasma I Jerry Jones Hi Marilyn Montemire, I Dave Hoffman I all eyes motion passes You spell your last name for me, please sure W. A. R. M is in Michael us Thank you. Thank you all for your work. Thanks for coming tonight Item 3.4 is our number 44 of 2021 and geo number 14 2021 by all the person actly granting Showcase painting a drywall and its successors and assigns the privilege of encroaching upon to scribe portions of unapproved alley and In black one of Platt of Lawndale edition Located east of north 18th Street in the city of Sheboyga for the purpose of installing an air conditioning unit and ventilation ducting Steve All right Michael grout galabresia is here Representing showcase painting and they're located at 19 19 north 18th Street And I'll probably have you kind of talk maybe a little bit more about the mechanicals and just a place So showcase painting and drywall Is looking would you mind getting to the actual pictures a little bit more One more so that one's perfect. So what they're looking at doing is adding a couple of Certified paint spray booths which you can see in the photograph. That's what they're doing on the interior And so in order to do that there's some venting that's going to be required And if you just go up to that picture a little more you can see that that was the vent and that's the unit That's going to be going on the building. Could you go to the alley, please? The alley so what what they're taking a look at is In order to put those spray booths they're putting them on the north wall and you can see on the photo the aerial Photography before you the orange line represents the property for showcase painting and the blue line Represents the unimproved alley that lies between their property and I can't remember the business to the north Prestige motors So so Basically what you have is you have that unimproved alley It's all grass as you can see and so they're looking to locate these units kind of where the red dots are on the map Because that's where the spray booths are going to be One of the discussion points was hey Could we vacate that alley and the answer is no because there's a 42 inch storm sewer that runs in that area So that's the reason why the applicants is requesting The ability to encroach with the spray booth They are gonna have some stacking and it is venting and is Venting some particulates in the air. I'm sure Michael can speak more about that But the owner appears to be well aware of this and is designing the units to properly address those concerns And the only other item is that they'll the units will be sticking up a little bit about the building But I think the applicant has indicated that they'd be about two to three feet above the roof line And they're in that kind of area alley area in that back. So they're really not seen So staff was recommending approval of the encroachment request. Thank you very much for that report Steve Would you like to add anything to his report? Um, I apologize. It's a little confusing So some of the information represented is is close So in the blue area That is where I'm looking to have the exhaust stacks come out the side of the building and go up So where the city alley is the only thing I'd be doing is Is taking out the side of the building there starting at seven feet near and then being directed up In the back of the unit or the back of the building If you go up to that picture, I'm adding two units That's our existing air conditioning and heating unit and I'm looking to put the other units over on that new pad So that is completely invisible from the front of the road So really the only thing you're going to see from the road is the exhaust stacks That is a makeup ear furnace that Specifically takes fresh air from outside runs it through the paint booth and then out the exhaust stacks So the pressure of the building is not completely thrown out of whack and so for the For the health of my employees as well. We have full exhaust. So the building doesn't stink and positive OSHA issue Okay, thank you very much for that information commissioners any other discussion or motions I had a question Please go ahead all their person boring Thank you, mayor When I read this over I didn't see anything in there that Addressed any possible noise issues as is the noise going to be mainly inside the plant or will there be Noise coming out of the stacks that would be noticeable in the neighborhood You will definitely not notice the noise from the exhaust stacks of the The makeup ear units when they are used Which is primarily going to be the during the day will be Similar to your home furnace, but probably multiply that about by about three because they're about one and a half million BTUs Any other thank you very good any other discussion entertain a motion So moved to approve subject to staff recommendations second Okay, we have a motion and a second one last call for discussion Seeing none, please call the roll Mayor van der steen I older person born I Ryan sasma jerry jones I Marilyn montmeyer.
