Live From City Hall - Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting

The City Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, broadcast by JATVMedia, was held October 28, 2026. The board elected Quinton Bennett chair and Max Ryan vice chair, approved the prior meeting minutes on consent, and considered two residential zoning variance requests. No procurement, contracts, or spending decisions were identified.

The board unanimously approved a variance for a 10-by-12-foot shed at 2114 Hawthorne Avenue, reducing the required setbacks to five feet. Approval was conditioned on construction and placement consistent with the submitted exhibits and compliance with Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code fire-resistance requirements; the plans also included a new white fence. The board also unanimously approved a variance allowing a detached garage in the front yard of a South River Road property, conditioned on construction and placement consistent with the submitted exhibits. The next meeting was scheduled for November 24, with no applications then submitted.
