Aldermen will vote Feb. 7 on changes to accommodate Trader Joe's and a yet-unannounced junior anchor store next to Target, after plan commissioners backed the changes.
Changes to smooth the way for Trader Joe's to build in Brookfield have been recommended by the city Plan Commission, City Community Development Director Dan Ertl said. The only sticking point was a request to increase the height of parking lot light poles, he said. Trader Joe's, a specialty grocer known for its private label specialty products and wines, wants to build in Underwood Crossing, a new shopping center under construction at 12821 W. Bluemound Rd. to be anchored by a 140,000-square-foot Target store. Underwood developer Ryan Cos. agreed to investigate whether the three light poles closest to the western Columbia Gardens neighborhood could be at the city's maximum 20-feet height and still create enough light. If not, Ryan said it …

Changes sought to accommodate construction of a Trader Joe's in Brookfield and a larger junior anchor store to the Underwood Crossing shopping center drew little opposition Tuesday from aldermen or residents. Tony Barranco, retail development director for Ryan Cos. of Minneapolis, MN, said the "most crucial" change sought was a variance to city sign codes that limit two tenants to a shopping center sign. Trader Joe's would be the third tenant on this particular sign. The California-based grocery chain — which has a cult-like fan base and is known for its private label specialty products and wines — will not build a second Milwaukee location in Brookfield if it can't have a presence on the shopping center's main monument sign, he said. "We'…
