Village planning staff presented a visual preference survey and key recommendations from the land‑use and transportation chapters of the draft 2025 Ashwaubenon Comprehensive Plan, and asked the board for feedback on implementation priorities.

The visual preference portion summarized resident input on what people like and dislike about the village’s look and feel, and highlighted priorities such as parks, continued redevelopment of areas including Mike McCarthy Way, Foreman Avenue, the Fox Riverfront and South Oneida Street, and maintaining visual appeal on South Oneida Street. Staff urged that implementation programs be tied to these themes so future decision‑makers can follow the plan’s priorities.

On land use, staff said the village faces a constraint of limited land for outward growth and that height restrictions in the village code — and airport permitting for structures over 50 feet in Airport Zone C — are factors the board may want to study. Staff recommended a possible subcommittee to examine height limits and other code changes rather than making immediate area‑by‑area decisions.

Presenting the transportation chapter, staff emphasized multimodal goals: safer, narrower residential streets to reduce vehicle speeds, better street connectivity, and targeted intersection design in the sports‑entertainment and village center areas where pedestrian crossings are increasing. The presentation called for coordination with neighboring jurisdictions on multi‑use trails, including the West Main Avenue extension and the Packerland Trail, and for pursuing grants (DNR Knowles‑Nelson Stewardship Fund, Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, and DOT programs) to support trail and brownfield redevelopment work.

Staff also outlined intergovernmental coordination measures: continuing shared services and facilities with Ashwaubenon School District, notifying adjacent school districts about new residential development so they can plan for student population changes, ongoing communication with Brown County and the tribal government about trust land and long‑term plans, and reviewing a soon‑to‑be‑renewed service/border agreement with the Town of Lawrence.

A trustee asked for data on how many students currently walk to school before the village invests public money in school‑route sidewalks; staff said they would include that input in the implementation chapter. The presenter said seven of nine comp‑plan chapters are nearly complete and estimated wrapping up the process by July for final editing and cleanup.

No formal board vote was recorded on the comprehensive‑plan chapters during this meeting; the items were presented for review and staff will circulate remaining materials to the board ahead of finalization.
