D. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. O-2011-0019 Ordinance to amend Section 12.41(2) of the Revised Municipal Code to permit
clinics, medical or dental, as a special use within the C-2 Neighborhood Commercial
District.
Sponsors: Safety & Development Committee
One (1) Petition in opposition received in the Clerk/Treasurer's Office.
Explanation by John Stibal, Director of Development.
Appearances:
Duke Swan, 1962 S. 59 St., attended neighborhood meeting where it was unanimous against
expansion of mental health clinic and special use permit. Expanding the C-2 Neighborhood
Commercial District would open door for any other clinic within this residential
neighborhood.
Gary Schmutzer, 1918 S. 58 St., attended neighborhood meeting. He expressed his concern
about expanding C-2 areas and the potential for other clinics to locate within those areas
while adding no value to the citizens nor homeowners. Opposed.
Catherine Becker, 5625 W. Beloit Rd., opposed to C-2 zoning changes.
Mike Stephens, 1732 S. 59 St., attended neighborhood meeting. He feels there is no need to
change the zoning when there are plenty of other alternatives. This is a residential
neighborhood. Property values already dropped.
Chris Cohen, 5812 Burnham St., represents Brotoloc, cannot pursue already existing zoning
locations. Expanding use at present location and operating a mental health clinic is a net loss

Common Council Meeting Minutes June 21, 2011
and doesn't make money. They already own and have been operating at present location for
eleven (11) years without any issues. Cannot purchase another building. Requested support.
2. R-2011-0149 Resolution relative to determination of Special Use Permit to establish a CVS
Pharmacy with a drive-through within the Riverbend Shopping Center located at
7500-22 W. Oklahoma Ave.
Sponsors: Safety & Development Committee
Explanation by John Stibal, Director of Development.
Appearances:
Bruce Schultz, 3010 S. 76 St., his property is located behind the proposed CVS Pharmacy and
he expressed his concerns with the alley traffic and the blind exit, vandalism problems in alley,
morning deliveries, noise, light concerns and long term maintenance of the proposed fence.
3. R-2011-0151 Resolution relative to determination Special Use Permit for Brotoloc South, Inc. to
establish an outpatient mental health clinic for therapeutic services located within the
existing building located at 5812 W. Burnham St.
Sponsors: Safety & Development Committee
One (1) Petition in opposition received in the Clerk/Treasurer's Office.
Explanation by John Stibal, Director of Development.
Appearances:
Duke Swan, 1962 S. 59 St., Brotoloc has been there for 10-11 years and sees patients on an
administrative basis. He is concerned about number of potential patients and having the
clinic being operated on an out-patient basis. Mr. Swan is not only against amending the
zoning, but also opposed the clinic. He stated the almost unanimous opposition at the
neighborhood meeting as there are plenty of other places to go.
Gary Schmutzer, 1918 S. 58 St., is concerned about types of patients. He does not want this
clinic in the neighborhood.
Mike Stephens, 1732 S. 59 St., reiterated the same comments. At most, the business would help
twelve (12) residents of West Allis; other patients to come from other cities. Opposed.
Catherine Becker, 5625 W. Beloit Rd., expressed they are caring people but residents need to
feel they are safe and have a comfort zone. They are concerned about the volume of patients.
She feels they would do much better in a commercial zone rather than residential.
Chris Cohen, represents Brotoloc, explained their operation. Brotoloc supports those with
disabilities and injuries and is willing to lose money to help those while operating at minimum
level of clients per week. There have been no issues with clients that come into their offices.
There will be a higher frequency of traffic with caseload and individuals will be supervised.
They are citizens like everyone else and he said it is reprehensible those neighbors feel this
way.
Michelle Swan, S. 63 St., is concerned with safety for the residents in the area. Doesn't feel it is
necessary to change zoning to C-2 for this clinic.
