The Fond du Lac City Council voted unanimously to approve the final plat for the South Park Avenue extension, a subdivision plan that will create 12 residential lots on the north side of the new road. The resolution (No. 9201) was presented by Community Development Director Diane Benson and recommended by the Plan Commission, subject to engineering conditions.

"When we do development within the city, sometimes we have to take the parcels and we have to divide it," Community Development Director Diane Benson told councilmembers, summarizing the state plat process and steps required for developments that exceed certified-survey thresholds. Benson said the South Park Avenue extension will open residential development in that area.

Councilmember Schisler moved approval; Councilmember Godfrey seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

Benson said the new road extension and plat are part of ongoing south-side development and are consistent with the city’s engineering and subdivision rules. The plan commission recommended approval after verifying the engineering conditions in the packet. No amendments were offered at the council meeting.
