The accessory structure is proposed at 3 feet from the side offset which is permissible only through the issuance of a Conditional Use Grant on a legal nonconforming lot (Section 40.210(4)a).

Ben Kohout, Village Planner, stated that all of the R-5 zoning district requirements appear to be met with this new shed proposal, other than the 10-foot offset needing approval from the Plan Commission.  

Village Planner Recommendations:

1. 1. That this conditional use allows a new accessory structure on the above referenced property to be up to three (3) feet from the western property line due to an existing shed having been found here currently at the same location.
   2. That all conditions made by the Plan Commission at their meeting of September 2024 are met.
   3. That the new accessory structure meets all building and zoning codes including a height of no more than 15 feet.

   5. 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.
   6. 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.
   7. The Property Owner shall allow Village of Pewaukee representatives to inspect the premises following a 24-hour notice for the purpose of determining compliance with this approval.
   8. The Petitioner and/or Property Owner shall obtain the appropriate permits from the Village of Pewaukee.
   9. 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.
