On Monday, September 25, the Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission considered and sent a recommendation to the Village Board to approve a certified survey map for 9201 Wilmot Road and site and operational plans for Great Lakes Skipper, LLC.

The certified survey map would subdivide the property, located at 9201 Wilmot Road, into two parcels and dedicate the required easements for existing and future development of the properties. O.C. Holdings, LLC is proposing to purchase the properties and will execute the Memorandum of Understanding to complete the required site improvements identified in the Conditional Use Permit Grant No. 04-02 and 06-01. These exterior modifications are now required since 50% or more of the building is proposed to be occupied. Improvements will include a new storm water retention system, landscape berms, replacement of the east parking lot with turf grass, removal of existing lighting/signage in the east lot, and improvement to the east/west fire lane driveway. These improvements are proposed to be completed on or before September 1, 2018. The north/south driveway will remain privately owned and maintained, but will also be reconstructed in the future.

The commission reviewed and recommended approval for Great Lakes Skipper, LLC, and a marine distribution facility for boating parts is proposing to occupy 125,000 square feet of the multi-tenant building, which is partially occupied by S.C. Johnson and Fair Oaks Farms. The facility is proposed to employ 42 full-time employees. Truck loading, unloading, and backing activities are limited to between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. because of the proximity to single family neighborhoods.
