Wausau Plan Commission Meeting - 10/20/26

The Wausau Plan Commission meeting on October 20, 2026, considered the proposed historic-landmark designation of Yawkey Park, a rezoning request, a preliminary subdivision plat, and two street/alley vacations. Following public comment in support of preserving Yawkey Park, the commission took up a motion to approve the designation; the transcript indicates the matter would go to City Council, but does not clearly capture the vote. The commission approved rezoning 909 South 60th Avenue from medium industrial to heavy industrial, with the item expected to go to Council in November, and approved the West Hill First Addition preliminary plat for referral to Council. It also approved vacating an alley while retaining a utility easement and vacating an undeveloped 134-foot southerly extension of Liberty Ridgeway, with an easement remaining. The September 15 meeting minutes were accepted. No procurement, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
