Madison Wood Preservers seeks rezoning for expansion; neighbors notified, applicant says neighbors supportive
Summary
Madison Wood Preservers applied to rezone two parcels on Oak Park Road from R‑2 to M‑2 to allow the company’s expansion. Staff said neighbor notices were mailed and no public comments had been received; the applicant said they had met concerned neighbors and rejected an offer to sell a corner lot for a gas station.
Madison Wood Preservers requested rezoning for two parcels on Oak Park Road — 98 Oak Park Road (0.936 acres, tax map 39‑96) and 206 Oak Park Road (0.701 acres, tax map 39‑98) — from R‑2 residential general to M‑2 industrial general to facilitate expansion of the business, the commission heard at a second workshop.
Planning staff said neighbor notification letters went out the prior week and that staff had "heard no feedback from the public so far," but the application remained at workshop stage. An applicant representative told the commission they had met with concerned neighbors who attended the earlier hearing and said "everybody seems happy with our expansion plans." The applicant also told commissioners they had received and rejected an offer to purchase the corner lot for a gas station.
Commissioners had no outstanding technical questions and no public commenters spoke at the workshop; staff did not recommend changes and the item will proceed to the joint public hearing process as a rezoning application.
