Plan Commission 10 12 2026

The Marshfield Plan Commission held a special meeting on October 12, 2026, to consider a request from Malls for You and the Boys and Girls Club of Portage County to waive required right-of-way dedication for a certified survey map at 503 East Ives Street. The proposed dedication was 10 feet along North Peach Avenue and 5 feet along East Ives Street. Staff supported the waiver, citing fire-access constraints along Peach Avenue and the lack of development impact from the map along Ives Street; staff also noted future road and pedestrian/bicycle corridor considerations and described protective conditions, including maintaining required easements and limiting the waiver to the project’s existing configuration and approved development plans.

The commission unanimously approved a motion to accept staff’s recommendation. The waiver is subject to a written agreement approved by the Common Council and other conditions tying it to the project and preserving the City’s ability to review access or dedication needs if the site changes. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
