During a recent meeting of the Glendale Plan Commission, key discussions centered around a fence exception request and two business use approvals. The commission addressed a resident's concerns regarding a proposed fence at 1000 West Riverview Drive, which was deemed necessary to prevent disturbances from nearby activities. The resident expressed frustration over changes in floodway maps that affected their property. Ultimately, the commission approved the fence exception, allowing for a front yard fence not exceeding six feet in height.
The meeting also included approvals for two businesses. The first was Meadowbrook Counseling of Wisconsin, which received unanimous support to operate at 7101 North Green Bay Avenue. The second approval was for the North Shore Republican Club, representing the Republican Party of Wisconsin, to occupy a space at 5464 North Port Washington Road. The commission emphasized compliance with signage regulations, particularly regarding placement in the right-of-way.
Additionally, the commission discussed potential changes to drive-through regulations, noting that despite prohibitions in certain districts, several drive-throughs had been approved through rezoning. This reflects ongoing adjustments to local zoning laws to accommodate business needs while addressing community concerns. The meeting concluded with a reminder for further discussions on these regulatory changes in future sessions.
